Anxi City, the royal palace.

Mrs. Wang, who lives in Yaoshan Manor all the year round, returned home today.

In the courtyard of the Wang family, it was crowded.

Many children and grandchildren came to greet Mrs. Wang.

However, they were all stopped by Wang Bijun.

Even the head of the Wang family, Wang Wan'er's father, Wang Zhao, was stopped.

Deep in the backyard of the royal family, there is a small lake.

The surface of the lake has frozen, and snowflakes are falling on the surface of the lake, gradually covering the lake.

Underneath the lake is an underground palace.

At this moment, the old lady of the Wang family is in the underground palace.

This place, the entire Wang family, no more than five people know.

In the deepest part of the dungeon, in front of a secret room with a closed door.

The old lady of the Wang family knelt on a futon and respectfully faced the secret room.

The gray-clothed old butler stood respectfully at the door.

"The covenant of the four of us, I think you know. ”

An old voice came from the chamber.

Old Lady Wang said respectfully: "The Jiang family is an opportunity for our Wang family to seek change, and you also know that the younger generations are not angry, and sooner or later they will be compared to the other three." ”

"As long as I am here, the Wang family will never fall. ”

The people in the secret room are very confident.

"I intend to give Wan'er to the young man of the Jiang family. Mrs. Wang continued.

"I've heard Ah Fu say that that young man is very good, even overshadowing all the young heroes in Anxi. The voice in the chamber said.

When he mentioned Ah Fu, the gray-clothed old man on the side bent down.

"So, I don't agree to this marriage. ”

Mrs. Wang was a little distracted.

Because it's too good, I don't agree.

There is still such a thing in this world.

"The father and son have only been in Anxi for half a year. has established such a big family business, how can this young man be able to grasp it. When the time comes, I am afraid that our Wang family will also fall into the hands of their Jiang family. ”

Mrs. Wang didn't know how to object.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "It's a pity that such a good child, isn't there any way to accommodate?" What's more, the father and son are from the Jiang family in Yuzhou. ”

"You don't have to worry about this, this father and son are just people expelled by the family, even if no one in Anxi does it, there may not be anyone in the Yuzhou Jiang family who can tolerate them. ”

The man behind the stone gate said slowly.

After a while, he said in a reminiscent tone: "Back then, the four of us had an opportunity together in the Red Flame Mountain, established the four major families together, and made a covenant together, the four major families will never be enemies, and Anxi cannot allow new families to appear. As long as the four of us are alive, the covenant cannot be broken. ”

Wang Lao Tian lamented: "Can we only watch that young man be destroyed like this?" ”

"Then there's only one choice. "The man behind the stone gate gave hope.

You say. ”

Mrs. Wang said busily.

"Let that kid take the Jiang family's property and join the Wang family. Their property is in the hands of my royal family, and the old man naturally wants to save his life. ”

"I'm afraid!" Old Lady Wang knew that it was almost impossible.

The tone of the person in the stone gate became serious, and said, "You have been in charge of the Wang family for many years, how can you mess up for the sake of a few juniors." ”

"The ancestor has learned a lesson. ”

Old Lady Wang lowered her head.

"If it is the kid of the Jiang family, he is unwilling to hand over the property and join the Wang family. Then there are Soul Breaker Hall, Tianhu Gang, and the Hu family to do it, so as not to embarrass our Wang family. What's more, the old ghost of the Hu family has already asked me to marry Wan'er to Hu Shuo. ”

"Why is that?"

Mrs. Wang asked in surprise.

"The Hu family has cut off the trade routes on the Muqing River, and in the future, they can only rely on the land trade routes, and our Wang family has the most involvement in the affairs of the Jiangxing Chamber of Commerce, and it is best to control them. After the Jiang family is destroyed, we will definitely be able to get more, and the Hu family wants to unite with us, and the price is to give thirty percent of the silk business. ”

The ancestor of the Wang family paused and continued, "So, we need a strong covenant, which is the marriage of the two families. ”

Old Lady Wang sighed distractedly.

"The child of the Hu family is unsatisfactory. ”

"Wouldn't it be better that Wan'er could control the overall situation. ”

The old voice, like a machine, was almost emotionless.

Maybe he didn't have emotions in the first place.

"You go, the Jiang family is the last chance to hand over the property by themselves, if the father and son can't grasp it, what awaits will be destruction. ”

The old lady of the Wang family stood up with difficulty, bowed deeply, and stepped back.

"Ah Fu, go too!"

The gray-clothed old servant named Ah Fu also saluted and retired.

Over the years, although the ancestor of the Wang family has lived in this underground palace, through Ah Fu, he still knows the situation in the outside world well.

Ah Fu caught up with the old lady of the Wang family and supported her.

For more than 100 years, the four major families have really controlled the fate of the family, and it has always been these four old men.

Even if they rarely bother with family affairs, they haven't even shown up for decades.

Their words, still no one can resist.

With Ah Fu's support, Mrs. Wang walked out of the dungeon and returned to her room.

She was a little tired, very tired.

"Take a break!"

Ah Fu reassured.

Old Lady Wang shook her head and said softly, "Go and call Wan'er, I have something to say to her." ”

Ah Fu sighed lightly and retreated.

......

West of Anxi City, Hongfu Town.

The snow is still falling.

Snowflakes have been covered with a thin layer on the ground.

The treetops in the distance, the rooftops in the near, are covered in silver.

On the wide streets, the convoy has been loaded.

The entire caravan stretched from the gate of the compound in the center of Hongfu Town to the outside of Hongfu Town.

This is the last caravan trip of the Jiang Xing Chamber of Commerce in the year, and it is also the most ambitious.

Yan Ji and Wu Zhengxing had returned to Hongfu Town last night, and after a night's rest, they set off at noon today.

Jiang Feng walked on the streets of Hongfu Town, looking at the mighty convoy.

The snowflakes fell on his face, making Jiang Feng more sober.

In Hongfu Town, the warehouses of the Jiangxing Chamber of Commerce have begun to be sealed.

In half a month, there will be no more goods here.

After the convoy is discharged, some of the people here will also be transferred.

Jiang Feng asked Jiang Li to preside over the next things in Hongfu Town.

And the fat man and the sunspot both went back to the silk village to defend, after all, a few places in Anxi City were the foundation of the Jiang family.

It's going to be deserted for a while.

At this time, Jiang Feng saw a large number of people evacuating, these were people from the Wang family, the Zheng family, and the Hua family.

Jiang Feng's brows furrowed slightly.

The caravan did not depart, but they left early.

Jiang Feng was about to call someone nearby to interrogate.

I saw Jiang Li running in a hurry.

"Young Master. ”

Jiang Feng saw Jiang Li and pointed to the people who were quickly evacuated and asked, "What's going on?"

"Young master, the people of the three major families suddenly received an order to evacuate, and I don't know why? ”

"Wan'er!"

Jiang Feng was a little surprised.

"She's waiting for you outside Hongfu Town. ”

"Outside?"

Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment, and quickened his pace and walked towards the entrance of the town.

When I came to the exit of Hongfu Town, I saw a young girl standing by the grove outside Hongfu Town from a distance.
