After arriving at the Fan family's compound, Long Chen did not meet Fan Jingyun this time, and after inquiry, he learned that there is only one ten-seat member in the Fan family's mansion now, named Fan Shen, who is a veteran in his sixties.
Although this person Long Chen hadn't seen it before, he had heard Fan Jingyun mention it once or twice, if it was calculated according to his seniority, he would need to call him his grandfather, and he was also the most trusted person by Fan Jingyun among the ten seats of the Fan family, except for Ao Jingshan and Fan Jingfeng.
But when Long Chen and Suo Sisi entered the mansion of the Wan family, Fan Shen was not in the house, but at the site of the palace in Shangjing.
Since the Xuanzong Hall ordered a truce ten days ago, a large number of Xuanzong Hall members have been stationed in Shangjing City, and they have been sending sect members to carry out strict patrols in Shangjing City day and night, which is said to be to prevent ingestion from breaking into Shangjing City and causing casualties to civilians. As the commander of the capital, Wan Shen basically had to stay in the old palace all day long and accept the cumbersome affairs sent by the Xuanzong Palace.
The current chief steward in the Fan family's mansion is an old man named Lei Tong, who has been a family leader in the Wan family for decades, since the evil saddle left, he has been serving as the chief steward of the Fan family's mansion, and naturally he also knows Long Chen, in fact, Long Chen came over two months ago, and he led the way.
"Little master, why don't you go to the old palace and tell Lord Fan that you're here?"
Lei Tong inquired, the reason why he called Long Chen the little young master was also because Fan Jingyun had only one descendant under his knees, Long Chen, and he naturally knew some of Long Chen's deeds in the Heavenly City, so in his opinion, it was not impossible for Long Chen, who was less than eighteen years old to have the strength of the middle-level honorable level, to take over Fan Jingyun's position as the head of the Fan family.
Speaking of which, it is the turn of the Fan family to chop the number of young people in this generation, and the number of chops is really zero, and Wanjing Jingyun only has one daughter, but Fan Jingshan regards the march and battle as his wife and has never married.
As for Wan Jingfeng, when he was young, he had a lot of romantic deeds, but since he served as the leader of the forbidden army in the capital, he has also become honest, but under the nose of the greedy old lady, he is afraid that he can't think of the romance, and then he fell under the arrangement of the old lady of the greedy old man, and he also took several ladies in the capital in a row, but the result was that there was no result, and I don't know what was going on, anyway, it is now nearly fifty, and there are a lot of wives, but there are no children.
As a result, the descendants of the three brothers who now support the Fan family's sorghum are only Longchen's mother and Longchen.
Not long after the Fan family forced Emperor Xiao away overnight and took control of the capital, what the greedy old lady did at the beginning also flowed into the market and became a wild history that will be passed down for a long time, and among them, one of the rumors that the common people deliberately abandoned the greedy old lady and the greedy Jingyun is that the greedy old lady does not want the Fan family to fall into the hands of a foreign surname Longchen. I have to say that this speculation is based on the situation of the descendants of the three brothers Fan Jingyun, who are most likely to become the founding masters of the Greedy family after the success of the wife's family, and the wife and the old lady rejected Long Chen so much at the beginning, and even wanted to kill Long Chen, maybe it was really out of such concerns.
After all, if Fan Jingyun was left in the Wan family, no matter what decision he made, Fan Jingshan and Fan Jingfeng would support it, and in this case, the Dianjia worked hard to make a wedding dress for Long Chen.
It's just that when Mrs. Fan was alive, I probably never dreamed that the person she wanted to kill would eventually be the one who rescued the Wan family.
Hearing the inquiry of the chief steward Lei Tong, Long Chen immediately refused: "No need, you just need to tell me where my grandfather is now." ”
Lei Tong was stunned and said, "Could it be that young master, don't you know that our Fan family had already moved the main force to the northern principality a month before the Xuanzong Palace ordered a truce?"
"I know about it, I just don't know the specifics. ”
Long Chen said with a smile, since he learned just now that there was only Fan Shen in Shangjing City, and the other nine seats, including Wan Jingyun, were not there, he guessed that Wan Jingyun should have acted according to the original plan.
Lei Tong immediately replied: "It's the Jinshi Kingdom in the southwestern border of the Northern Duchy and bordering the Great Liang Country, but now the Jinshi Country is gone, and it has become the territory of our Fan family. "Bordering the Great Liang Country?"
Long Chen frowned slightly, because when he mentioned the Great Liang Country, he couldn't help but think of the Qingtian Long family.
However, the main reason is that the Jinshi Kingdom of the northern principality is in a very bad environment, it borders the Daliang Kingdom in the southwest, is close to the Zilan Kingdom in the northwest, and is the Nanluo Kingdom in the southeast, which is completely in a position where it is sandwiched on three sides, and the Xuanzong Hall can attack the Fan family without anyone noticing, no matter which side it is.
However, thinking about it, my grandfather wants to gain a foothold in the northern principality in such a short period of time, and the only one who can choose is the Jinshi Kingdom.
After all, the long-distance migration of hundreds of thousands of elite troops of the Greedy family is not an easy matter, and the most troublesome thing is how to invade the northern principality unhindered, because within the territory originally occupied by the Greedy family, the northern part is the royal family of the Dayu Kingdom, the eastern part is mainly the Nanluo Kingdom, and the middle is the Daliang Kingdom.
It is obviously unwise to break into the area of the royal family of Dayu State, and it is impossible for the Nanluo Kingdom to let the Wan family pass through its territory, only the Liang State, which is very interested in the territory controlled by the Fan family and has always wanted to further expand to the southwest, can reach an agreement with the Wan family, and secretly let the Fan family move the main force through its border to the northern park, so as to exchange a large area of rich territory bordering the east and west from the Fan family without a single soldier.
Long Chen thought for a while, looked at Lei Tong and asked, "Then how much is left of the original territory of the Fan family?" Speaking of this, Lei Tong sighed heavily, and he didn't know whether to be happy or helpless:
"If it weren't for the forced truce of the Xuanzong Hall ten days ago, the capital would have been ready to be returned to Dayu. After learning about these things, Long Chen did not stay in the mansion of the Wan family for long, and Suo Si Xun, who had been standing beside him and had never spoken, left the mansion and released the colorful floating lotus after leaving the east gate of the capital city, and flew towards the northeast quickly.
When Long Chen and Suo Sisi left the Fan family's mansion, not long after, a sturdy young man dressed as a family member walked out of the mansion from the back door and quickly ran towards the inn concentration area located in the southwest of the Fan family's mansion.
The sturdy young man finally ran into an inn called "Ruilai Inn", went directly to the second floor, stopped in front of the door of a side room, and knocked cautiously.
"Knock knock" "Who?!" A somewhat cold inquiry voice immediately came from the room.
The sturdy young man immediately responded: "Master Cheng is me." ”
"Come in. After getting the answer, the sturdy young man stretched out his hand and pushed open the door, and after entering the house, he turned around and gently closed the door, walked to the door of the bedroom, bowed to the middle-aged man sitting on the bed inside, and said respectfully: "Master Cheng, the person you are looking for has just left the mansion of the pawn family." "The Cheng Ye in the young man's mouth is none other than that Cheng Yumin.
"Did I really wait for me? Cheng Yumin hooked his lips and smiled coldly, took out a small bag of magic stones from the hiding bag and threw it to the young man, and then asked, "Do you know where you went?"
The sturdy young man happily took the bag containing the magic stone and put it into the hidden bag on his waist, thought about it and replied, "The small guess should be to go to the northern principality." ”
Cheng Yumin reached out and grabbed the crutches on the edge of the bed, moved down from the bed, and asked, "Is he alone?"
"The other one is a woman. ”
The sturdy young man immediately returned to Dao, Cheng Yumin straightened up with his crutches, pulled the robe on his body, and said, "Okay, you can go." ”
"The little one took his leave. The young man bowed slightly, then turned around and walked towards the door of the wing, but at this moment, there was a "whirring" sound in his ears, and he felt a hot wind rushing behind him, and instinctively turned his head to look, but his vision was enveloped by a fiery red flame in an instant.
"Ahh
The young man let out a miserable cry, only half of which came out of his throat, and the whole person turned into a burning man, and the flames rose and went away...... Scattered, leaving only a pile of black ash on the ground.
"Is it so easy to take ill-gotten gains from my Cheng Yumin's hands? What's more, Longchen has the support of the Ning family of Heavenly City, how can I let you live?"
Cheng Yumin hooked his mouth and sneered, walked over, bent down and picked up a hidden bag left on the ground, and under the flipping of the forbidden code beside him, the whole person flew out of the wing room like a breeze, and then stopped at the door of the next wing room, knocked on the door with a cane, and called: "Big brother, we should go." ”
After the words fell, the door opened from the inside, Cheng Yuzhong walked out, looked at Cheng Yumin with a solemn face, and said in a sullen voice: "Are you sure it's that Longchen?"
"Whether it is or not, we have to take a look, otherwise it will be in vain for us to stay in the capital for a month. ”
Cheng Yumin turned around and flew towards the stairs of the corridor, squinting his eyes at the same time, and said coldly: "Big brother, you should know that it is not only the two of us who are looking for that Longchen now, since that kid won the first place in the Heavenly City Xuandou Conference, many people are paying attention to him, if we are slow, the secret of that kid will probably be explored by others." ”
Cheng Yuzhong, who followed behind, also said sarcastically: "But in a year, he was promoted from the beginner level to the middle level, and he is also a third-line mystic, that kid is really a genius, but he is also a stupid genius, and he actually returned to the sea after the Xuandou Conference, so he really thought that with the support of the Ning family, no one would dare to disadvantage him?"
"It doesn't matter if he's really stupid or fake, now that I've found his whereabouts, then I have to avenge the broken leg of the sunset desert island anyway. Cheng Yumin muttered with a hideous face. A little unwillingly said: "I originally thought that this kid would definitely go back to the Fan family to help Jing Yun, and we also tried our best to design Fan Jingshan to let which shoes to be captured, hoping that kid relied on his unknown strength to break into the ice prison of Yulan City, but I didn't expect this kid to take the first place in the Xuandou Conference in the City of Heaven, and found such a big backer of the Ning family, Fan Jingshan was directly ransomed by the elders of the Ning family, and we fell short, this kid also disappeared inexplicably, how did he expect that this time he actually ran to the capital first as before, hum!" Then he will never think of surviving again this time!"
"Of course. Cheng Yuzhong nodded and said with a smile: "Heavenly City, the Ning family, of course, we can't afford to provoke him, but if he dies, who knows that we did it?
