Volume 1 Mo Shang Gongzi Xing Chapter 13 Your Highness
Just when he was about to contact those people, the door of the government ran in to report: "Don't drive, a team of people from the Zhao family came outside, and they want to see don't drive!"
Fan Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and then his complexion returned to normal, and his heart was also greatly relieved.
It's good for the Zhao family to come, I'm afraid that they won't send someone to come, so I will meet with them first, figure out the current situation, and see if Fan Qinglin keeps the secret, so that I can decide what will happen later.
The cultivator of the Zhao family entered the door, and the leader was Xia He, who was dressed in men's clothes, and she pointed at Fan Zhongming and began to shout: "Your Fan family is so bold, you dare to assassinate my Zhao family son in the street, is it possible that the Fan family wants to start a war with the Zhao family?!"
Hearing this, Fan Zhongming's heart fell to the ground.
He frowned and said, "Where do you start with this? Zhao Gongzi was assassinated on the street, and the official sent three waves of people to inquire about the situation, but they didn't even enter the gate, now why do you say that my Fan family did it? What evidence do you have?"
"Fan Qinglin is in our hands!" Xia He raised his chin and looked like I see you quibbling.
Fan Zhongming looked surprised: "Qinglin?"
"Now you have nothing to say, do you? Our son said, when the assassin returns, he must administer justice!
Xia He snorted arrogantly, and after speaking, he sat down in the public hall, looked up at the beam with his arms crossed, and looked like I didn't say much to you, just waiting for the assassin to come back.
"The official doesn't know anything about this matter, it must be a misunderstanding, at most it is Qinglin's personal idea, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the Fan family!" Fan Zhongming pretended to be very anxious, "What happened to Qinglin, can the official see him?"
"I didn't see him!"
Xia He was completely unforgiving, "Childe said, yesterday he was intercepted and killed by Zhao Yujie, and today Fan Qinglin stabbed him on the street, he must be an accomplice!
Fan Zhongming was completely relieved.
As expected, Fan Qinglin's tone was very tight.
He argued with Xia He a few more words, but pretended to be annoyed, left the court, and went back to his own public house.
"Ming Gong, what should we do now?When Lord Thorn Shi comes back, it's too late!" the paradigm cultivator who followed him said eagerly.
Fan Zhongming chuckled, "Lord Assassin Shi didn't come back so soon, he couldn't catch Zhao Yujie, how can he deal with him when he comes back?"
"That being said, aren't we going to do anything?"
"Of course. The official will go to the Zhao family's mansion. Fan Zhongming regained Gu Bo's unfazed demeanor, "No matter what, I have to go and see Qinglin to make sure he doesn't say anything important." If he didn't say it, I would also find an excuse to make a big fuss about the Zhao family's mansion, so as to injure Zhao Ning and Zhao Qiyue. ”
"What excuse does Ming Gong use?"
"The excuses are ready-made. Qinglin was arrested by Zhao Ning and the others, and he must have been tortured. When I saw his tragic condition, I was angry and angry, which was in line with my father's feelings. ”
"If so, they won't let Ming Gong enter the door?"
"I'm worried about my son's safety, what about breaking in?"
Glancing at the sky, it was already past noon, and the cultivator of the Zhao clan had only come to the official office at this time, and it must have been Fan Qinglin who had been tortured in every possible way before. It is conceivable how miserable Fan Qinglin should be at the moment. Thinking of this, Fan Zhongming's face was gloomy, and his heart to avenge his son was already very urgent.
After he left the mansion, he did not go to the Zhao family's mansion for the first time.
Halfway through, someone walked in front of him and said a word.
Fan Zhongming followed the man, entered a wine shop, and went directly into the backyard.
In the backyard of the wine store, only the guys, cooks, and shopkeepers will set foot in it, and in addition to the kitchen and firewood room, there are also a few side rooms for people to live.
Fan Zhongming was in a well-cleaned room and met the person he expected.
It was a young man of the age of a weak crown, with a slightly dark complexion, but his facial features were very delicate, wearing a blue peaked eagle crown, and the sun and moon were tattooed with ramie gold threads on the robe on the right side, and the whole person looked luxurious and heroic.
And her sharp eyes like falcons give people a lot of oppression, as if she can see through people's hearts at a glance.
Because he knew the extraordinary identity of the person in front of him, Fan Zhongming was very respectful.
But his waist did not bend too hard, and after seeing the salute, he immediately regained his usual solemn bearing, looking at each other at the same time, neither humble nor arrogant.
The first to speak was the young man with the crown of the eagle, her tone was very blunt, and her dissatisfaction was undisguised: "Dealing with a young man in the body forging realm, let you lose your troops and lose generals, but it has not been done yet." Fan-sama, I have to start doubting your abilities now. ”
Zhao Ning is now in the Imperial Qi Realm...... Fan Zhongming didn't emphasize this because it didn't really matter to the whole thing.
He didn't want to lose his momentum in front of this woman dressed as a man, so he said lightly: "What we are doing is a big thing, and it is inevitable that there will be some twists and turns." Your Highness...... If he can't hold his breath like this, he will be underestimated by Fan. ”
"In Daizhou City, Lord Fan still calls me Miss Xiao. ”
The eagle-crowned woman chuckled, "You're going to find a reason." I won't say anything to you, no matter what, this matter cannot be delayed, it will change later, and your problem must be solved today. If not, I'll take my people and leave. ”
Fan Zhongming's face changed slightly, if the other party left and the action was terminated, his previous efforts and efforts would be in vain.
But he also knew that if the other party felt that the danger was too great, it was indeed possible to give up the operation. Although Daizhou is a border land, after all, it is still the border of the Great Qi Kingdom, and attacking and killing the great cultivators of the Zhao Clan here is not a small risk for them.
"I was about to go to the Zhao family's mansion in person, and I invited Miss Xiao to ...... Be patient. Fan Zhongming softened his tone.
He has already offended the Zhao family, and he will definitely be criticized by the Zhao family afterwards, if the action is not successful, the Zhao family does not suffer heavy losses, he will not be able to use this matter to please the person who needs to be curtained by the Fan family, without the other party's help in the court, the paradigm alone cannot cope with the anger of the Zhao family.
"Master Fan took it personally? Of course, that's the best. Miss Xiao was very satisfied with Fan Zhongming's move, "In that case, Master Fan, go ahead, I'll wait for your good news." ”
Fan Zhongming bowed his hand and took his leave.
There were two old men standing behind Miss Xiao, one with white eyebrows and black hair, and the other with black eyebrows and white hair, looking quite weird, after Fan Zhongming left, the old man with white eyebrows leaned down and said: "Your Highness, if Fan Zhongming doesn't succeed, do we really want to cancel the operation and leave here and return to the north?"
Miss Xiao just smiled slightly, but did not answer.
The afternoon sun was still scorching, but Zhao Ning didn't seem to be hot enough, so he set up a fire in the yard, wearing only a short coat, and sweating a lamb profusely.
There was no one else in the courtyard but him, and the maids were far away, not wanting to be roasted like lambs.
When the roast sheep was almost ripe, Zhao Qiyue, who was in a light shirt and skirt, walked into the moon gate.
She's finished cultivating.
The scene in full swing here made her a little stunned, and she looked at Zhao Ning, who was drenched with eyes like a fool: "Even if you want to eat roast mutton, you don't have to do it yourself, right? If you want to take a bath, it's more direct to jump into the fish pond." ”
Zhao Ning cut the brown and tender mutton with a knife, put it on the plate next to his hand, and said with a smile: "The essence of eating roast sheep is to do it yourself. ”
Zhao Qiyue was originally disgusted and reluctant to approach, but suddenly thought of something, and his expression became pity: "It seems that Zhao Yujie has broken your heart very much, otherwise you, a guy who has always believed in 'gentleman and cook', would not have gone crazy like this, and used the method of torturing your own body to reduce the grief in your heart." Alas, poor child. ”
Although he sat down on the chair next to him, Zhao Qiyue did not mean to touch the mutton on the plate.
The slices of meat look good and smell good, but what good things can a first-time cooker make? She doesn't want to spoil the place of roast lamb in her beautiful recipe.
Zhao Ning will roast sheep here because he knows that this is Zhao Qiyue's favorite, in his previous life, he owed each other and his family a lot, and now that he has the opportunity, he wants to make up more, but he didn't expect to be misunderstood by Zhao Qiyue.
In his previous life, since the Zhao family suffered heavy casualties after being broken in Yanmen Pass, and most of the cultivators were broken, Zhao Qiyue had never had an easy time. Beihu was fierce, and at that time, as one of the masters of the Zhao family, she fought outside for many years, and often came back with bruises.
At that time, the Zhao clan had completely declined, and what Zhao Ning saw the most was her frowning brows when she hid in the shadows of the corner and endured the pain alone because she wanted to save some more money and buy more cultivation resources and talisman pills for her clansmen.
And whenever Zhao Ning couldn't help but blame himself for this, Zhao Qiyue, who was petite and curled up like a cat, would try his best to stretch his long eyebrows, squeeze out a smile on his little face, and say to him, a little skin trauma, no pain.
The painful experience and decline of the Zhao family have a lot to do with Zhao Yujie, Zhao Yujie can have so much power in the Zhao family, and it is all because of herself, every time Zhao Ning saw Zhao Qiyue's miserable appearance and the bleak situation of the family in his previous life, he would feel heartache.
It was in that situation that Zhao Ning, who wanted to atone for his sins, was ashamed and brave, which improved "Qingyun Decision".
It's a pity that in the face of the war situation at that time, it was too late.
By the action of wiping his hands, Zhao Ning pressed the surging tide in his heart, sat down on the cushion in front of the small desk, poured two cups of grape wine from the Western Regions, and handed one to Zhao Qiyue.
He said seriously: "You came from the capital quickly, you must not have eaten on the way, and you have not been able to stop when you arrive in Daizhou City, you must be very hungry at this time." Later, Fan Zhongming came, until tonight passed, it is estimated that we will not have time to eat again, while we are still free, hurry up and eat two bites. ”
These thoughtful words made Zhao Qiyue stunned.
Although Zhao Ning didn't say it explicitly, he barbecued mutton under the big sun in July because she loved this delicacy the most, understood her hard work, and wanted to make it for her personally to express his heart.
The concern from Zhao Ning is an experience that Zhao Qiyue is about to forget. In the past, Zhao Ning didn't annoy her and be sad, but she was already thankful. Although the other party was very cute and sensible when she was a child, and often cared about her, but since she was twelve years old, there has been no such thing.
"This guy is obviously dedicated to me, but he refuses to say that he cares about me, hum......"
Zhao Qiyue knew that Zhao Ning was not hypocritical, and the man's style of doing things determined that he would do things, but he would not explain it to show his merits.
She was already happy in her heart, and she took the mutton slices and sent them to her mouth, no matter if it was delicious or not, even the bark must taste good at the moment.
But the habit of disciplining her younger siblings over the years still made her look as usual, and she continued to maintain the majesty of the eldest sister's head, eating without squinting.
It wasn't until the lamb was eaten that her eyes widened in surprise.
"Good workmanship. Zhao Qiyue took a sip of his wine glass, to hide his surprise, and the praise was serious.
