Section 65: All the way eastbound (asking for tickets and flowers)
Zhao Feng took the wooden sword in his hand and did not return to Lin'an City, but took Xiao Ma all the way east, Zhao Feng did not choose a destination, nor did he have any goal, his handsome face in a simple white shirt was so sunny under the bright sun in winter, Zhao Feng did not use the true qi in his body, he simply walked like an ordinary person.
After a winter rain, the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty was slightly cold in the cold climate, and the trees on both sides of the pipe had already withered, and only the bare trunks stood on the ground.
Countless pedestrians on the official road are hurrying to the road, hoping to return home and reunite with their families in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the pedestrians on the road look at Zhao Feng wearing thin clothes and are puzzled, since such a cold weather is only wearing a thin summer shirt, but then after seeing the wooden sword on Zhao Feng's waist, they all understand a little, and then stay away from Zhao Feng in awe.
"Little brother, in the next Zhongzhou Nangong Lie. This is a carriage parked beside Zhao Feng, and an old man came out of the car and said to Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng looked at the old man and didn't speak, but even if he just looked quietly like this, the old man and the servant felt that this young man was different.
The old man looked at Zhao Feng slightly, both his temperament and the hidden cultivation made the old man very satisfied, and then said slightly: "Little brother, I don't know your surname, where are you going?"
The old man was looking at Zhao Feng at the same time, Zhao Feng was also looking at the old man, the old man was not the kind of small rich family, because judging from the old man's dress and carriage, he should belong to the powerful people in Xianzhong Prefecture, and then said, "Read it next week, as for where to go, I haven't thought about it yet."
After hearing Zhao Feng's words, the old man had doubts in his heart, but he did not ask, but said: "In this case, if the little brother does not dislike it, he will go to the next house to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve"
Zhao Feng frowned slightly, and couldn't understand why this old man suddenly invited him, since he didn't think about where to go at the moment, since someone invited him, he agreed.
Nangong Lie saw that Zhao Feng had a happy expression on his face after he agreed, so he invited Zhao Feng into the carriage.
In the carriage, Nangong Lie asked some innocuous things, and Zhao Feng was perfunctory, and through the conversation, Zhao Feng also slowly understood some of Nangong Lie's situation.
Xianzhongzhou is located in the east of Zhongzhou, and Xianzhongzhou is the second richest place in Yunzhou, the most essential difference between the family here and the Yunzhou family is that the family here is basically business-oriented, and it is also the most firm support of the Song Dynasty. Nangong Lie is now the head of the Nangong family in Philadelphia, Xianzhongzhou, and the Nangong family is the third largest merchant family in Xianzhou, and the head of the main family is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, which also gives the Nangong family some power within a certain range.
And all the families who say Xianzhongzhou are the simplest and most firmly supported by the royal family, because some of the founding achievements of Taizu are from Xianzhongzhou, and the most important thing is that Xianzhongzhou is equal to the center of aristocratic princes, because although most of the princes of Xianzhongzhou have no real power, but all of them are hereditary marquis from their ancestors.
In the old man's intentional or unintentional inquiry, the carriage gradually entered the gate of the Nangong branch in Philadelphia.
The old man personally arranged Zhao Feng's residence, saying that someone would call Gongzi to eat in the evening, and left, Zhao Feng sat in the room and briefly looked at the layout of the room, and then thought in his heart, "Sure enough, it is worthy of a commercial family, the layout of a branch family is so extravagant, and I just came in and didn't feel the existence of the Dongxuan cultivator, at most it is also the innate realm, I think this is also the family of Xianzhongzhou in order to prevent the same fate as the Yunzhou family."
The family of Xianzhongzhou cannot be compared with the family of Yunzhou at all, the existence of the Yunzhou family has a history of nine hundred years, and the first hundred years are to dominate the Central Plains, if it is not for the intervention of the Qingtian Divine Sect, after two hundred years, it is still the family of Yunzhou to dominate the Central Plains, and it is not the turn of the sect holy land at all.
It was nearly dusk, and the bright sun in the sky was slowly setting into the western horizon.
It didn't take long for a servant of the Nangong family to inform Zhao Feng to go to the lobby to eat, and when Zhao Feng walked into the lobby, he saw more than just Nangong family.
Nangong Lie introduced Zhao Feng one by one after welcoming Zhao Feng into the position, there were a total of seven people at the table from left to right, namely Nangong Lie's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law, followed by the second son and second daughter-in-law, and finally Nangong Lie's youngest daughter and eldest grandson. Zhao Feng could see that Nangong Lie's children were very kind, and he was bored that he was not alone in his eyes.
After dinner, Nangong Lie's seventeen-year-old grandson, Nangong Gray, forcibly took Zhao Feng to Philadelphia to play.
Philadelphia is one of the seven main cities in Xianzhongzhou, although it is not as prosperous as Lin'an, but Philadelphia has another quiet beauty. Philadelphia at night was already crowded, and there were many cultivators in addition to civilians, but these cultivators were all in the innate realm, and there was no cave above them. Zhao Feng also asked Nangong Ash The reason is because the King of Chu in Xianzhong Prefecture strictly forbade cultivators above the congenital level to enter Xianzhong Prefecture, and if they appear, they will be caught and sent to the Lin'an Zongren Mansion, which is also the royal family in order to prevent the situation like the Yunzhou family again, but there is also another family in Xianzhou that allows the existence of a cave Xuan or a strong person who knows his fate.
"Brother Zhou, what do you think of my sister-in-law?" asked the childish Nangong Gray.
Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled and said, "It's very beautiful, like the beauty of Qingshui Hibiscus", if Xiao Qing, He Qian and Zhou Xuan are the kind of beauty that captivates the country and the city, then Nangong Lie's youngest daughter Nangong Jing is as quiet as a lotus.
After hearing this, Nangong Gray smiled playfully: "Brother Zhou, you don't have a family now, and my little aunt is not as good as others."
Zhao Feng felt dizzy after hearing this, and then knocked Nangong Gray's head and said, "You just like this, your sister-in-law sold me this person who doesn't know the origin."
Nangong Ash hugged his head and said, "Grandpa said, even if I don't know the origin of Brother Zhou, but judging from Brother Zhou's temperament, he must be a very remarkable person."
Zhao Feng smiled, didn't speak, and continued to walk around Philadelphia at night.
"Dad, can that Zhou Gongzi really help us split up," Nangong Zhong, the eldest son of Nangong Lie, said worriedly in the backyard of Nangong Mansion.
"I don't know," Nangong Lie looked at his reflection in the teacup and said, Nangong Lie also saw Zhao Feng on the carriage back, and with Nangong Lie's eyes, he decided that Zhao Feng would definitely not be an ordinary person, although Zhao Feng had not revealed his cultivation realm, but Nangong Lie also guessed that Zhao Feng must be above the realm of knowing his fate. Now all the Nangong families in Xianzhong Prefecture have encountered a huge crisis, and the main families in Pingjing City have no time to manage the affairs of the Xianzhong Prefecture divisions in various places, so they have to issue an order to each Nangong branch to deal with it by themselves.
"Dad, this incident is obvious that the other three major families want to annex our Nangong family, and there is the shadow of King Qi in this," Nangong Bo, the second son of Nangong Lie, who was sitting on the side, said.
"Could this be the meaning of the imperial court," Nangong Zhong worried, if there is the meaning of the imperial court behind this, then this time the Nangong family is basically finished.
Nangong Lie shook his head and said, "There is no shadow of the imperial court behind him, only the shadow of the king of Chu."

.......................................
"The King of Chu is restless, and he lost to me many years ago," said the emperor in the imperial study in the palace, looking at the secret report sent by the King of Jin
"Your Majesty, you have to guard against it," King Lu said.
The emperor nodded and said, "If the King of Chu really rebelled, it would be too big a blow to the current Great Song Dynasty, and now all the plans have been prepared, and there is no room for sloppiness, you go and prepare, and prepare this secret report to the King of Qi and the King of Jin, so that they can also prepare, and be strangled in the cradle before the King of Chu does not rebel, and there is also news of King Feng."
"Your Majesty, no, if King Feng doesn't want anyone to know his whereabouts, even we won't be able to find out," King Lu said,
"Well, step aside, this time you can't let the King of Chu ruin the plan that the Great Song Dynasty has worked so hard for five hundred years," the emperor said.
"Yes," replied King Lu, and then he pushed out the imperial study.
Looking at King Lu who left the imperial study, the emperor looked at the secret report in his hand and said to himself, "It's still strange that I was too merciful back then, and now that the king of Chu has jumped out, he should also kill the chicken and show it to the monkey."
In addition to Zhongzhou, there were eight princes in the Great Song Dynasty Kyushu who were in charge of the internal affairs of the royal family in the other eight states, of course, since they were members of the royal family, they also vaguely intervened in the government affairs of the imperial court, such as the king of Chu in Xianzhongzhou, who intervened in government affairs in Xianzhongzhou.
(I've been really busy these days, and I'm going to sleep for a while when I come back, because maybe I'll have to work overtime again, and I'll resume two shifts a day after this time, and add one more every day, which is equal to three shifts a day.) I hope you will continue to support me. Thank you. )
