Chapter 37: The Hidden Battle
The mansion of the Nangong family is in the southernmost part of Panlong City, and the generalissimo Nangong Lie personally drove the carriage, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and the carriage drove into Panlong City smoothly.
Lifting the curtain of the carriage, Nangong Ruoli couldn't help but have a trace of surprise in his eyes.
What a bustling city! The high and low pavilions are scattered, the streets are full of people coming and going, and it is extremely lively, and there are also many vendors who buy some small things around, constantly shouting.
"Boy, how is it? How is this city compared to the Rain Master Clan?" Nangong Lie asked with a laugh.
Nangong Ruoli glanced at his mouth slightly, and said: "It's a lot more lively, and it's much more magnificent than the Yushi tribe, but it just lacks a pure natural tranquility!"
Nangong Ruoli said it well, even in the previous life, people in big cities often yearn for that kind of rural life with mountains and rivers, and he really doesn't have much interest in this place since he was a child living in a mountain village.
Nangong Lie asked himself not to turn his head if he was bored, but Nangong Ruozhong changed his opinion of him a little, those passers-by and traders, when they saw this unscrupulous father, they all bowed and saluted, which shows that he is extremely loved among the common people.
The quality of a person is not what kind of status he can achieve, nor what kind of hero he becomes, but the evaluation of those civilians.
Civilians will always regard the person they like in their hearts as their support, and now, his father, Nangong Lie, may barely be able to do this.
The Nangong Mansion is very wide, and at this moment, at the main entrance of the mansion, a middle-aged beautiful woman is standing there, looking at the gradually approaching carriage, and the haze between her brows can't help but flicker.
"It's just a wild boy, you can actually drive him to pick him up, it's really a big shelf, Huo Ting, your mother and son are now reunited, I want to see how capable you little cub are!" said the middle-aged beautiful woman.
This beautiful woman is the daughter of the current emperor of the Longteng Empire, that is, Princess Liuyun, another wife of Nangong Lie.
Beside Princess Liuyun, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy stood beside him, this young man had some similarities with Nangong Lie between his eyebrows, with big shoulders and a round waist, and his body was very strong.
Don't think about it, this young man is Nangong Ruoli's eldest brother, Nangong will be tomorrow.
"Xianggong, you're back!" Princess Liuyun said with a smile as she walked over to the carriage from a distance.
"Dad-" Nangong also bowed and saluted tomorrow.
Nangong Lie jumped out of the carriage, laughed and hugged Nangong Mingri, and said: "Come back, tomorrow, this time my father will bring your brother back, this kid is relatively weak, you have to take good care of him, don't let him lose the face of my Nangong family!"
The smug look in Nangong Mingri's eyes flashed away, he was most afraid that the younger brother Nangong Ruoli, who had never met, would surpass him in cultivation or other aspects, and when he heard his father mention it at this moment, he naturally understood.
"That's naturally how it should be, if anyone dares to bully my younger brother, I, Nangong Tomorrow, am not easy to mess with!" With a mother like Princess Liuyun, Nangong Tomorrow's scheming is naturally very deep.
It's just that all his movements were seen through by Nangong Ruoli in the carriage, and Nangong Ruoli also frowned secretly, Nangong Tomorrow, it's best to pray not to provoke me, brother is not easy to bully.
"Ruoli, let's get out of the car too!" Huo Ting took Nangong Ruoli's arm, stepped out of the carriage, came to Princess Liuyun, and said with a salute: "Sister Lao is waiting again! Ruoli, this is your aunt!"
"Auntie!" Nangong Ruoli shouted with a smile, and at the same time bowed down, he still knew these etiquettes, at least he couldn't let people look down on him.
"Ruoli is right! You've grown so big, and it's the first time you've gone home? You see, I'll just say that the poor and remote people of the Yushi tribe will suffer if we Ruoli, you look so thin, and if you go home this time, you will definitely make up for nothing!" Princess Liuyun looked extremely approachable, took Nangong Ruoli's hand and said with a smile.
Huo Ting's face changed slightly, and the meaning of Princess Liuyun's words was obviously to belittle the Yushi clan, but it was not appropriate to quarrel with him at this time.
But Huo Ting's concession did not mean that Nangong Ruoli also retreated, the cynical smile on his face rippled again, and said: "Thank you aunt for your concern, the folk customs of the Yushi tribe are simple, but it is very suitable for my character, if you have the opportunity, my aunt must also go there to live for a while, where the aura is abundant, and it is said that it can also purify people's hearts!"
Princess Liuyun's face sank when she heard this, this kid is such a ghost, and his words are not at all, is it really a good piece of material?
Nangong Lie is not a fool, he can naturally hear the-for-tat in the words of the two, and he immediately said: "Okay, Ruoli, you just came back, let your mother make good arrangements for you, after a long journey, you will have a good rest, and in a few days, I will send you to the Longteng Royal Academy!"
"Daddy, is my brother going to the Royal Academy too?
Nangong Ruoli is three years older than Nangong Ruoli tomorrow, but in terms of figure, Nangong Ruoli is more than half a head taller, and in terms of robustness, it is estimated that Nangong Ruoli can shake it inside.
Therefore, seeing such a thin Nangong Ruoli, Nangong Tomorrow also walked forward with a laugh, patted him on the shoulder twice, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't worry, with my brother here, no one dares to bully you!"
If Nangong was not an eleven-year-old boy, Nangong would secretly sneer a few times in his heart when he said these words tomorrow, and then he also smiled: "Then thank you big brother!"
The family had some dinner in a hurry, and when it was getting late, they went back to rest, and Nangong Ruoli lived in the small courtyard of his mother Huo Ting.
The yard is not big, planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, decorating the entire courtyard with extraordinary warmth, from this small courtyard you can see the character of its owner, of course, Nangong Ruoli himself also likes this green feeling very much.
"Ruoli, how can you talk to Princess Liuyun like that today?You don't know the character of their mother and son, you are scheming, you are not their opponent yet!" Huo Ting closed the door and said.
Nangong Ruoli smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, your son is not as simple as you imagined, their little tricks naturally can't hide from me, I will be careful myself!"
For this kind mother, Nangong Ruoli has nothing to hide, and her words are also sharp.
Huo Ting couldn't help but tremble slightly when she heard this, her son's eyes were shining at this moment, not at all like the cynicism he was before, like the young master who grew up in Jinshan.
Youyou sighed, Huo Ting knew that this son might really be as he said, it was not that simple, otherwise he would never disguise his true character in front of outsiders.
"Son, my mother has not been by your side since I was a child, so I don't know what you are hiding, but my mother only hopes that you will not be hurt in the slightest, you are your mother's son, and your mother's life!" Huo Ting said.
"Mother-" Nangong Ruoli suddenly felt an urge to cry, you are your mother's life, what a great maternal love this is! Looking at her mother's loving eyes, at this moment, what else can Nangong Ruoli say?
The mother and son chatted until late, and Nangong Ruoli left his mother's room, and his father Nangong Lie didn't seem to like this little son very much, and he hadn't come over since he got home.
Of course, Nangong Ruoli didn't care, because he knew the rules of survival in this world, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain, even if it is the same as his father, between himself and his eldest brother, there will always be someone who will inherit the foundation of the Nangong family, but now it seems that Nangong will have a great advantage over himself tomorrow.
Nangong Ruoli doesn't care about these, he still can't look down on these things of the Nangong family, what he wants is everything he creates with his own hands.
There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the second day, before Nangong Ruoli got up, there was a loud sound of heha outside.
"Who the hell got up so early to practice kung fu and delay Lao Tzu's sleep!" Nangong Ruoli covered the quilt above his head and muttered.
The person who practices boxing outside is naturally Nangong Mingri, Nangong Family's Fax Qi "Tenglong Jue" is now practiced to the second level, and Nangong Mingri's cultivation at this time has also reached the level of the third order of the prefecture.
Fifteen-year-old Nangong Tomorrow already has a second-order cultivation at the ground level, such an achievement is second to none in the Dragon Teng Empire, and is known as the second generation of young people in the Dragon Teng Empire.
Nangong Lie stood aside, watching the long knife in Nangong Ming's hand dance with a cloud of golden light, and a smile rippled on his face, nodding his head constantly.
Nangong Tomorrow's achievements made him very pleased, at least there was a successor to the Nangong family, this was something that made him happy, originally, what he hoped most was that this heir was his and Huo Ting's child.
But when he saw Nangong Ruoli's first face, Nangong Lie vetoed his idea, Nangong Ruoli is not only a body, just like Yushi Hongfei said, he can't cultivate into "Changing Heaven Jue" after several months of cultivation, how good can his qualifications be?
And this kid is extremely lazy, and he is still lying on the bed, looking like a gentleman, at first glance, it seems that Yushi Hongfei has been spoiled in the Yushi clan.
But he couldn't say anything, after all, it was his own flesh and blood, if he was really harsh on him, I was afraid that Huo Ting would immediately turn against him.
can only let it go, fortunately, the Nangong family's family is still enough for him to squander, so while being disappointed in him, Nangong Lie's expectations for Nangong tomorrow have also increased more and more.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Nangong Ruoli got up under the persuasion of his mother, hurriedly washed up, ate the breakfast sent by the next person, and his mother had been waiting for him in the room for an hour.
"Ruoli, I'll take you outside today, you just came here, and you're still a little unfamiliar with this, by the way, I'll help you register at the Longteng Royal Academy, and go to school next year!" Huo Ting walked over and said softly.
