Chapter 206: Changes in the Zhao Family
Putting away the sigh in his heart, Fu Ran walked towards the mansion, but just as he stepped on the stairs, two guards stopped him.
"Boy, do you know what this place is?
A guard stepped forward to stop Fu Ran, as if the situation was played out again more than a year ago, which made Fu Ran slightly stunned, and then shook his head with a smile.
"Are you Lord Ling Ran?"
Just as Fu Ran was smiling, another guard stepped forward, looked at him carefully, and lost his voice.
Hearing this, the other guard's face changed slightly, and after a closer look, when the two faces overlapped together, the guard was shocked, and hurriedly clenched his fists: "The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I hope that Lord Ling Ran is not strange, so I will go and tell Madame." ”
After speaking, the guards hurriedly ran into the mansion, Ling Ran was very valued by Zhou Li, although he did not appear for several months, but he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
But after a while, Zhou Li took Mu Mo out of the house to greet her, and there was laughter from afar: "Sure enough, it's Ling Ran, you can make the concubine worried!"
Zhou Li and Mu Mo came to Fu Ran, the former had a smile on his face, while Mu Mo tilted his head and stuck out his tongue, looking eccentric.
"Because there was an accident in the ruins of Lieyue, I didn't come back. Fu Ran clenched his fists.
"What's the point of standing outside talking, let's go!" Zhou Li smiled.
The three of them came to the living room, Zhou Li sat in the main seat, and Fu Ran sat below, and Mu Mo served tea to the two.
"Tell me what happened in the Lieyue Ruins, the Seventh Elder said that you have a poison in your body, I'm afraid it's already," Zhou Li said.
Hear the words. Fu Ran nodded, the reason why the Seven Elders knew what was happening inside the Lieyue Ruins. Naturally, I learned it from Wei Guanyue's mouth.
However, it can also be seen that even if he thought he had been poisoned to death. The transaction between the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce and the Mu family has not been interrupted, and thinking about it, he is just an informant, how could the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce give up the great opportunity to enter the Lieyue Empire because he is not there.
At that moment, Fu Ran informed him of what had happened in the Lieyue Ruins, and at the same time explained the reason why he didn't return to Fangyuan City after the Lieyue Ruins were closed, of course, there was naturally some concealment in it.
"You mean you went to the Black Sea?"
Zhou Li was taken aback, the Black Sea has a great reputation in the Eastern Regions, and it is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones. Ordinary people don't dare to enter there at will.
After being shocked, Zhou Li said again: "Then I don't know why you came back this time?"
Fu Ran took a sip of tea and said, "I promised to be a guest in the Mu family for a year, and this time it is naturally to fulfill my promise." ”
Zhou Li was stunned, she thought about the many possibilities for Fu Ran to come back, but she didn't expect that it was the original agreement, and then her eyes looked at Fu Ran more and more softly, she understood that Fu Ran actually didn't have to come back. But still coming back, it shows that he is a person who values commitment.
But as if remembering something, Zhou Li sighed and said, "You can still remember the promise." The concubine is very happy, but it's not the right time for you to come back!"
Fu Ran's face changed, could it be that something happened to the Mu family? As the controller of Fangyuan City, the Mu family has the support of the Wen Mansion behind them. The Wang family and the Xiao family didn't dare to do anything to the Mu family.
As if seeing Fu Ran's thoughts, Zhou Li sighed: "It's not the Wang family and the Xiao family. It is the Zhao family of Wuhou City, and after a while, there will be a meeting of the head of the Wen Mansion, and Zhao Ting has broken through to the Soul Xuan Realm and has become one of the powerful contenders, exerting pressure on the other seven cities, hoping to support him The Zhao family will sit on the throne of the lord of the mansion. ”
"What's the matter, even if the Zhao family has a Soul Xuan Realm powerhouse, but doesn't that belong to the Liu family, plus the Tan family, this mansion master must be produced in these four families, what does it have to do with the other seven cities." Fu Ran was very puzzled, since the Zhao family wanted to sit in the position of the lord of the mansion, then they should put all their energy on dealing with the Liu family and the Tan family, how could they put pressure on the other seven cities.
"You don't know the rules of this master's meeting, although the four of them will fight for it at that time, but they have to rely on the strength of the other seven cities. Zhou Li said.
Fu Ran was silent, waiting for Zhou Li's next words.
"This Zhangfu will actually be similar to the Zhangcheng Society, and it is also decided through a contest of strength, but in addition to the most powerful competition for the family, the other seven cities must also stand up to support one of them, and the Liu family and the Tan family have a pivotal position in the Wenfu after all, so they naturally have received a lot of support, and the Zhao family has only recently been qualified to compete, so naturally it cannot be compared, so they put pressure on the other seven cities, hoping to get support. ”
"And in the past, Fang Yuan City has always been in charge of the Wang family, and has always stood behind the Tan family, but now that we have changed to our Mu family, we must choose carefully, the previous three-legged tripod has been broken, I am afraid that this time the head of the mansion will not be so simple. Zhou Li said.
"Isn't it very simple, continue to stand behind the Tan family, after all, the Tan family has controlled the Wen Mansion for many years, and the foundation is naturally stronger than the other three, and the hope of getting the control of the Wen Mansion is also the greatest. Fu Ran didn't understand why Zhou Li looked so preoccupied.
"It's not as simple as you think, indeed, the Tan family is the best choice, but do you still remember the head of Fang Yuan City at that time, at that time, I even united the Xiao family, and all kinds of signs indicate that the Liu family has been united, and the chances of the Zhao family and the Tan family have become the smallest, it stands to reason that Zhao Tan should also unite, but unfortunately the Zhao family doesn't know what's going on, but they rejected the intention of the Tan family's union, and according to the information I got, the current strength of the Zhao family is not what it used to be, Zhao Ting not only broke through to become the Soul Xuan Realm, but also has many people in the Xuan Realm under his disciples, just in terms of strength, the Zhao family has probably become the head of the four。 Zhou Li said.
Fu Ran finally understood why Zhou Li was worried, the strength of the Zhao family had skyrocketed, and the chance of getting control of the Wen Mansion was not small, and the Tan family was not weak, so she couldn't choose, once she chose the wrong one, she would definitely be suppressed by resentment.
Fu Ran also felt strange about the Zhao family's strength skyrocketing, it was only a few months, not only did Zhao Ting break through, but he also gained the strength to surpass the other three.
"What does Aunt Nali mean?" Fu Ran asked.
Zhou Li pondered for a moment, and finally turned into a low sigh, then the Zhao family is now starting to exert pressure, secretly threatening the Wang family and the Xiao family, making our Mu family isolated in Fangyuan City.
"I won't choose the Zhao family, then Zhao You actually made a move on you, and I didn't take my Mu family in my eyes for a long time, but if I choose the Tan family, the Zhao family will not have a good face for my Mu family in the future. ”
Fu Ran frowned, of course he hoped that Zhou Li would choose the Tan family, after all, he had a holiday with Zhao You of the Zhao family, but now it was obvious that it was more beneficial for the Mu family to stand on the side of the Zhao family.
"Don't worry, after all, I have dealings with the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, even if the Zhao family is in power, it will not do anything to my Mu family in a short time, as long as Fu'er comes back from Qingfeng Academy in three years, my Mu family will inevitably rise. Seeing Fu Ran's appearance, Zhou Li smiled and said.
Even so, three years is enough to change a lot, just like the Zhao family, a few months ago, after returning to Liu Tan's three families, now it has the power to surpass the three families, who knows what will happen in these three years.
"I wonder how this meeting will be held?" Fu Ran asked.
Zhou Li nodded and said: "It's very simple, the four qualified families will each send four people to make a move, and the final winner will get the control of the Wenfu, but unlike the Palm City Society, whether it is external power or its own strength, it is okay, that is to say, among the four people of the four families, there will definitely be a master of the Soul Xuan Realm, and the remaining three can be selected from the supporters." ”
Fu Ran nodded, it is indeed somewhat the same as the Palm City Society, but there is also a huge difference, the Palm City Association can only use external forces, while the Palm Mansion Association can use its own family power, then there will definitely be a battle in the Soul Mystery Realm.
"The Zhao family has been sending people to monitor us, I'm afraid that the news of your return will reach the ears of the Zhao family in a short time, Zhao You didn't succeed in the Lieyue Ruins, I'm afraid the Zhao family won't let you go, that's why I let you go." Zhou Li was worried that the Zhao family was not what it used to be, and if it was against Fu Ran, it would be difficult to ensure its integrity with the strength of the Mu family.
Fu Ran stopped and said, "Aunt Li, don't worry, I'm not a soft persimmon, how can I let the Zhao family pinch it if they want to." ”
Hearing this, Zhou Li chuckled and nodded, when Fu Ran appeared, she sensed his strength, when he was at the peak of the Yuan Xuan Realm, he was already able to compete with the Zong Xuan Realm, and now he has reached the peak of the Spirit Xuan Realm, I am afraid that even the Zong Xuan Realm is not his opponent.
"Sure enough, just like Fu'er guessed, it's only been more than a year, and you have the peak strength of the Spirit Xuan Realm!" Zhou Li said in her heart. (To be continued......)
