Chapter 9: Brotherly Talk
After a while, Ming Xuan seemed to have thought of something again, and couldn't help but stare at Ming Feng with a worried face: "Big brother, although my Ming family still has a hidden strength, but with the addition of the behemoth of the Northern Spirit Sect, the Guo family is no longer just me who can compete with the Ming family, what are your plans next?"
"That's true! As one of the top forces in the Barbarian Spirit Continent, it is indeed not something that my Ming family's current strength can do if they want to compete with it. However, the young sect master of the Northern Spirit Sect would not come to the northwest until three years later, but he sent two deacons three years in advance to assist the Guo family in subduing the northwest forces, which obviously meant to find out the major forces in the northwest. ”
As he spoke, Ming Feng's words paused, and then continued in an uncertain tone: "I think that the Northern Spirit Sect should not send any more strong people over in a short period of time. And today shocked the two deacons, so that the other party did not find out the truth of my Ming family, at least in the past two years, my Ming family village should still be very safe. ”
Listening to Ming Feng's analysis, Ming Xuan savored it, but he felt that there was some truth, and his heart that was still hanging just now couldn't help but relax a little.
However, before Ming Xuan could breathe a sigh of relief, Ming Feng's face became solemn again: "Although the Guo family will not have a head-on conflict with my Ming family in a short period of time, I am afraid that the Guo family will make a big fuss about the Fang City and the collection of medicines!"
"Fang City, picking medicine?" Ming Xuan murmured softly, a little misty, not very clear what Ming Feng wanted to express.
And such a momentary lack of clarity instantly made Ming Xuan feel uncomfortable as if he was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't help but look down and recall the various details of what happened today. When he thought of the strange black-robed man, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed to understand a little. However, because Ming Xuan was not sure whether what he was thinking was what the eldest brother was worried about, he had to tentatively ask Ming Feng: "Is the eldest brother worried about that Danfeng?"
When Ming Feng heard this, the whole person was obviously stunned for a moment at first, and then he turned his head and stared at Ming Xuan meaningfully, and sighed and said, "Originally, I was just sighing and complaining, but since you have already guessed, there is nothing to hide." And you're fifteen years old now, and you'll be an adult in a year's time, so you should learn to get involved in the family. ”
Although the younger brother guessed a little, he still didn't think thoroughly enough in some places, and asked the eldest brother for some advice. Ming Xuan hugged his fist at Ming Feng with a straight face.
Looking at Ming Xuan's performance, Ming Feng couldn't help but show a smile of relief on his face: "Not bad! Xiao Xuan, you guessed right just now, I'm really worried about that Dan Feng!"
As he spoke, Ming Feng's face couldn't help but appreciate Ming Xuan's alertness and agility before.
"Although the Guo family will not directly touch my Ming family in a short time, but that Danfeng, as a disciple of Master Danyang, should at least be a high-quality alchemist. With Danfeng's alchemy level, it is not comparable to my Ming family's pharmacists who are not even a first-grade alchemist, and my Ming family's business in Dan Yaofang City will inevitably fail at that time. ”
"In addition, as soon as the two martial forces of Guo and Zeng are integrated, the mortal forces of my Ming family are no longer their opponents, if the other party further suppresses my Ming family in the matter of collecting medicines and cuts off the source of my Ming family's medicinal materials, the situation will undoubtedly be worse. At that time, not only will my Ming family not be able to move forward, but it may even cause its strength to regress a lot. In the end, when the Guo family subdues the other forces, my Ming family will have to sit back and wait. ”
"And although Guo Jiaming will not easily touch the people of my Ming family on the face, if he secretly attacks the people of my Ming family......"
Speaking of this, Ming Feng couldn't help but pat his forehead with a headache: "If this is the case, then my Ming family will only have to suffer a dumb loss, after all, I don't dare to use my core strength to directly clash with the Guo family head-on." ”
After listening to Ming Feng's series of analyses, Ming Xuan truly understood how dangerous the situation facing the Ming family was. He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, but he had a feeling of helplessness, so he could only look at Ming Feng with his eyes: "Then what is my big brother of the Ming family going to do next, it is impossible to just sit back and let others eat it, right?"
Although Ming Xuan knew that this question should not be asked, he still couldn't help but ask it, but when he finished asking, he immediately regretted it.
After hearing this, Ming Feng not only did not answer what he meant, but instead lowered his head and pondered on his own.
Looking at this situation, Ming Xuan couldn't help but secretly beat himself several big ear scrapers in his heart, and even scolded himself for being useless. When the family was facing the crisis of life and death, not only could they not help, but they were also here to exert external pressure on the eldest brother.
regretted it, and the feeling of five tastes in his heart became more and more intense, and his already clenched fists couldn't help but clench tighter and tighter, and finally even his nails fell into the flesh.
The atmosphere was at a stalemate for a while.
A quarter of an hour later, Ming Feng seemed to have figured out something, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he patted Ming Xuan on the shoulder who was beside him: "Xuan'er, maybe you were right earlier, there is really a big force behind the Sha Ying Alliance." The strength of the Sand Shadow Alliance is much weaker than that of my Ming family, and I think the Guo family should have already looked for the Sand Shadow Alliance. But the Sha Ying League did not come to my Ming house with the Guo family this time, which shows that the Guo family not only did not subdue the Sha Ying League, but it may even have hit a wall in the Sha Ying League. If my Guo family can join forces with the Sha Ying Alliance, then the situation may be much better. ”
"But will the Sand Shadow Alliance and the strength behind him agree to join forces?" Ming Xuan blurted out.
"I think they'll agree!" Ming Feng smiled confidently, "As long as the forces behind the Sand Shadow Alliance want to get their hands on this northwest land, then he will definitely agree." And if the other party didn't want to get involved in this northwest land, then what was the purpose of the Sand Shadow Alliance's existence? Therefore, in order to contain the development of the Northern Spirit Sect in the northwest land, they would definitely agree to the alliance. ”
"Of course, we can't completely pin our hopes on the Sand Shadow Alliance, after all, if the Sand Shadow Alliance doesn't have the support strength behind it, then the significance of forming an alliance with it is not very great. And in this northwest place, in addition to the Sand Shadow Alliance, there is actually another major force that we can ally with, but the strength of this side is usually not obvious, so ordinary people don't really see it as a force. ”
"Is there another force?" Ming Xuan repeated leisurely, but his mind was already active, trying to search the major forces in the northwest, wanting to see which side of the force could still not be afraid of the behemoth of the Northern Spirit Sect.
Seeing that Mingxuan was thinking carefully, Mingfeng, who was about to continue, suddenly remained silent, looking like he was left to Mingxuan to guess, and he had the intention of taking the test for Mingxuan again.
After a while, Ming Xuan suddenly raised his head and stared at Ming Xuan with a tentative expression, "What kind of force did the eldest brother say, but Zhen Baoxing?"
"Oh, Zhen Bao Xing, how can it be Zhen Bao Xing?" Ming Feng continued to ask in the tone of the school examination.
"Although Xuan'er doesn't know much about the major forces in the Northwest Land, he also knows a little bit. I have just carefully screened all the conceivable forces, and found that except for the four major forces, most of the other forces can only be regarded as third-rate forces that do not enter the stream, and it is unlikely that they will have a background. The most conspicuous and mysterious is really the only treasure in the entire northwest. Ming Xuan told what was in his heart.
"That's right, it's Zhen Bao Xing!" Ming Feng affirmed Ming Xuan's conjecture, and then patted Ming Xuan's shoulder and praised: "To be honest, if you don't look at your strength, Xuan'er, you have the potential to be the head of the family!"
Being praised like this for the first time, Ming Xuan couldn't help but feel hot on his face, scratching his head and looking a little embarrassed.
Looking at Ming Xuan's embarrassed expression, Ming Feng smiled slightly again, refused to speak, and continued to explain: "Don't look at Zhenbao Xing, although it is in business, as far as I know, it is also one of the top forces in the Barbarian Spirit Continent, and its branches are all over the continent. It's just that because it rarely participates in battles, many people don't understand the horror of Zhen Bao Xing. ”
"Although our northwest land is barren, but the elixir in the Absolute Spirit Mountain Range is a big dividend, I believe that Zhen Baoxing does not want to see the northwest land being occupied by the Northern Spirit Sect and cutting off their big business in the northwest land. Moreover, the person in charge of the branch of Zhenbao Bank in the northwest land has a good relationship with me, as long as I go to her, there should not be much problem with the alliance with Zhenbao Bank. ”
"At the same time, if my Ming family can really get on the line with Zhen Bao Xing, with the strength and heritage of Zhen Bao Xing, then even if the Guo family has the help of a second-grade alchemist, I think it will be difficult for the other party to really suppress my Ming family in the Fang market. ”
Listening to Ming Feng's words, Ming Xuan was silent except for occasionally nodding slightly, obviously digesting Ming Feng's words.
"Okay, Xuan'er, let's put an end to this matter for the time being, don't think too much about it here, I and the elders will take care of everything." Don't worry, my Ming family has not experienced any winds and waves, this situation is certainly full of dangers, but it is also an opportunity for my Ming family to rise. ”
Seeing that Ming Xuan was still digesting what he said, Ming Feng didn't mean to continue to say more, and interrupted Ming Xuan's contemplation by opening his mouth directly. On the one hand, after sorting out the direction, he had to leave immediately to go to the Sand Shadow Alliance and Zhenbao Xing, and on the other hand, he didn't want Mingxuan to be burdened with too much pressure because of this.
"Hurry up and inform Li'er here, and at the same time, you yourself can't leave Mingjiazhuang recently, do you remember clearly?" Mingfeng told again.
After that, before Ming Xuan, who had just come back to his senses, could speak, Ming Feng turned around and walked towards the Ming family's meeting hall.
