Chapter 83: Influence
"Little girl, by the way, old man, I should call you Taipan, you can go back first, I still have some things to discuss with Xiaoyou. The Seventh Elder said to the scales.
The color of the fine scales changed slightly, and then he returned to his nature, nodded, and said, "I didn't expect that the information of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce has been extended to the three major hunting armies. ”
The voice fell, and the thin scales nodded to Fu Ran and turned to leave.
The three major hunting armies are known as the most mysterious army in Gar, and only the current emperor has the right to control them, but in front of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, they can't afford this mysterious word, and the Seven Elders not only know that Thin Scale is the person of the Lion Army, but also know its title, which makes Fine Scale have to sigh at the information of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce.
Looking at the back of the thin scales leaving, Fu Ran said: "It seems that it's not just me, everyone underestimates the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, and even the investigation of the three major hunting armies is so clear." ”
"You're wrong, we do have eyeliner for the lion army and the wolf army, and we also know some things that ordinary people don't know, and this little girl has been in Falling Mountain City for several years, so there is enough time for us to investigate, as for the Eagle Army, we don't know at all, if it weren't for the Eagle Army still carrying out the emperor's mission, I'm afraid we would all doubt whether it still exists. ”
The Seventh Elder and Fu Ran walked side by side, hearing the latter's words, but they shook their heads again and again, as the Seventh Elder of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, he naturally knew some secrets.
Fu Ran was slightly shocked, the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce actually had an eyeliner among the Lion Army and the Wolf Army, although Fu Ran entered the Lion Army very smoothly, but also because of his identity, if he was an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would be thoroughly investigated, and his ancestors would not let it go, under such strict conditions, the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce could still send his eyes into it, and the strength of the means could be seen.
As if seeing Fu Ran's thoughts, the Seventh Elder chuckled lightly and said: "Don't underestimate the Three Hunting Army, there are such masters in it, even if our people enter it, they still can't grasp the specific information of the Three Hunting Army, and the means of the Three Hunting Army will not be weaker than our Chamber of Commerce, and the vendetta you have seen is even known as the Prime Minister of the Army, if I guess correctly, there are also people from the Three Hunting Army in our Chamber of Commerce." ”
Fu Ran nodded, he reported the vendetta to his family that day, and the other party believed it so easily, I am afraid that there are also things he doesn't know.
While Fu Ran was talking with the Seventh Elder, the two of them had already arrived in front of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, and they entered directly without pausing.
When he came to a hidden room, there was already a person in the room, it was a middle-aged woman, and when he saw this woman, the Seventh Elder was stunned, obviously he didn't expect this woman to appear here.
"Eighth Elder, why are you here?" the Seventh Elder asked suspiciously.
The eighth?
Fu Ran looked at it carefully, he was called the eighth elder by the seventh elder, and it was very likely that he was the eighth elder of the Tiemu Chamber of Commerce, but he was not an ordinary person.
The woman was dressed in a white shirt, with long hair draped behind her, bangs covering her left eye, and her right eye was cold without the slightest emotion.
Asked by the Seventh Elder, the woman didn't answer, her eyes fell on Fu Ran, sighed, and asked, "Is he okay?"
Fu Ran was stunned, who is he?
"I don't know who he was talking about?" Fu Ran clenched his fists.
The woman stopped and said, "It's your Uncle Duan Lang, you don't have to call your seniors, just call Aunt Lan." ”
Hearing this, Fu Ran's face changed slightly, this woman seemed to have an unusual relationship with Duan Lang, but he was not easy to ask.
"Aunt Lan!"
As Fu Ran spoke, the woman looked at her with a little more tenderness, and then said softly: "I didn't expect you to be so old, when I first saw you, you were still in infancy, and in the blink of an eye, eleven years have passed, it's almost over, and everything should be over in a few years." ”
The woman's inexplicable words made Fu Ran puzzled, and she had seen him, so why couldn't she remember?
The Seventh Elder finally understood why the woman appeared here, sighed, and said, "Eleven years have passed, and you haven't let go, but you're getting deeper and deeper. ”
"You don't have to worry about it, okay, there's nothing to do with me, you do what you have to do, don't pay attention to me. The woman spoke indifferently, and then sat alone, looking out the window, not knowing what to think.
Seeing the woman's appearance, the Seventh Elder shook his head and sighed again, his eyes fell on Fu Ran, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "By the way, Xiaoyou doesn't know who the old man is, my name is Baoshan, and I am the Seventh Elder of the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce. ”
Fu Ran nodded and said, "Please speak." ”
The Seventh Elder did not speak immediately, he fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about how to speak, and seemed to be thinking about other things, and only after half a sound did he speak, but his expression was solemn.
"I wonder when Xiaoyou will go to the imperial capital?"
Heading to the Imperial Capital?
Fu Ran frowned slightly, the Seventh Elder wanted to be sure that this was the case, and what did this matter have to do with the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce?
Looking at the solemnity on the faces of the Seventh Elder, Fu Ran also understood that this matter was probably not as simple as he thought, and he didn't dare to hide it, and said, "In four years." ”
The Seventh Elder lowered his head in contemplation, his brows furrowed, Fu Ran saw this, and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter?"
The Seventh Elder wanted to speak, but Aunt Lan, who was sitting on the side, took the lead and said, "You still don't know the significance of your trip to the Imperial Capital, now at least the eyes of several forces are focused on you, including the three major hunters, the Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce, the Lei family, and the big men in the army, and now the emperor's attitude towards you is not clear, and when you appear in the imperial capital, all this will have a result." ”
"Yes, the Lingnan County side has made all the preparations and plans to rebel against Garr, which I am afraid that there is the support of the lord or powerful forces, and the reason why I dare not do it is mainly because of two uncertain factors. The Seventh Elder nodded and took Aunt Lan's words.
"What are the two uncertainties?"
Fu Ran had a hunch that this matter might be inseparable from him, if the rebellion in Lingnan County had something to do with him, then it would be a ** annoyance, and the fact was as expected, the next words of the Seventh Elder made his face sink.
"The first one is, of course, the Ironwood Chamber of Commerce, if you have the support of our Chamber of Commerce, it will be like a tiger for Lingnan County, and the second one is naturally you, Lingnan County naturally wants to see you and the royal family turn against each other, and your marriage with the little princess is also the result of Lingnan County fueling the troubles behind the scenes. ”
"What does this have to do with me? I'm just an orphan, and I won't be of the slightest help to Lingnan County, right?" Fu Ran said puzzled.
"It's true that you are just an orphan now, but many veterans in the army regard you as the future marshal, and your decision is enough to affect them, which is why the royal family does not dare to announce the results of your marriage with the little princess. "The Seventh Elder has an unusual identity, and naturally knows more about others.
Before Fu Ran could speak, the Seventh Elder continued to speak: "If it weren't for the protection of the golden book and silver scroll and the master, I'm afraid you would have been assassinated many times, at least that Lingnan County is the one who wants you to die the most, if you die, those veterans will blame the emperor for poor protection, if you don't take this into account, I'm afraid the emperor will also secretly do it." ”
Hearing the words of the Seven Elders, Fu Ran understood his status in Gal, originally he only thought that if he went to the imperial capital, the emperor would definitely not give a good look, and those enemies of the Fu family would also secretly attack, but now it seems that these are still minor problems.
"Then why do you want to confirm when I will go to the imperial capital?" The topic returned to the beginning, and Fu Ran asked the most crucial question.
The Seventh Elder chuckled lightly and said: "Because even we are not sure who has a better chance of winning, on the surface, the Gar is impregnable, but since Lingnan County dares to rebel, it is naturally prepared, I also said just now, it is very likely that it is supported by external forces, our Iron and Wood Chamber of Commerce is a businessman, and what we value is naturally interests, if we stand in the wrong position, it will be a loss-making business, because it will determine your attitude, and all this depends on when you appear in the imperial capital." ”
"And the Eagle Army among the Three Hunting Armies has been hidden, and now even the Emperor can't determine their location and personnel, which may also have something to do with your Fu family, after all, your father Fu Yu was the controller of the Three Hunting Armies, and since your father died, the Eagle Army has disappeared from everyone's sight. Aunt Lan said.
