During the Dark Ages, at the most difficult time of the Victorian Southern Military Region, Vina passed an international treaty in favor of the allies in exchange for the support of Sami and Sargon.

This practice of "losing the car to protect the commander" successfully laid the foundation for the final victory.

....

And now, the Nishinomiya family obviously wants to use the same way to resolve this crisis, objectively speaking, this is a wise choice.

People who know how to give up deserve to have more, Xigong Ling, the head of the Xigong family, is a smart ruler.

It's just that this smart move seems to Xia Feng to reveal a sad helplessness.

Because, Xichuan is not Victoria, and Xigong Ling is not Vina, no one will lend a hand out of sympathy.

In this dispute, what Xigong Ling needs to give up may be beyond his imagination.

And even, in a sense, no less than losing this war.

.....

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Xia Feng agreed to Xigong Yanshi's invitation and agreed to go with him to the base camp of the Xigong family, Xiye Mansion.

Through Nishinomiya Hikoshi's hints, he was already very clear.

He had to go this time, otherwise, there might be even bigger trouble than the Nishinomiya family's defeat to the Sakura family.

What exactly is this trouble?

At the moment he didn't dare to assert, but with his intuition, he seemed to have guessed one thing, and that is.

If the Nishinomiya family loses, the entire Nishikawa will have to change its surname to Sakuratake, but if the Nishinomiya family wins, the entire Nishikawa may not necessarily remain surnamed Nishinomiya.

If the Nishinomiya family wants to use external force, they must bear the side effects of the "fierce medicine".

If he doesn't go, he may bear the side effect with the Nishinomiya family, and if he goes, he may become a "side effect".

....

Hurriedly arranged the affairs of the south coast, Xia Feng didn't bring too many people, only brought the red knife, and prepared to follow Xigong Yanshi out of the cherry blossom forest.

In this Xichuan realm, he is not in any danger, even if the Sakura Warrior wants to play Yin, he is not the first priority for assassination.

In other words, if the Sakura Martial Family really had the ability to assassinate him, then before him, Nishigong Ling would have hung up long ago.

Besides, he is just a businessman on the surface, and he has no deep hatred with the Sakura Takeshi family, and no one knows that he is "Zhang San".

However, Sakura Takeran will not assassinate him, because this is a serious violation of the "dignified duel".

.....

Dressed in a coat and wrapped around a scarf, Xia Feng hung the Shenyue knife around his waist.

"Red Knife and I are going to be away for a few days, you guys take care of your home."

Big Brother Ace and Big Wolf nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, there is a brother of Black Steel, there is nothing wrong here, you have to be more careful yourself, and contact at any time if there is any danger."

"Okay."

With the red knife, Xia Feng followed Xigong Yanshi out of the house.

Because the south coast is surrounded by mountains and the terrain is complicated, the carriage is impassable at all, so the carriage of the Xigong family can only stop in Nanwan Town.

Nishinomiya said apologetically.

"Your Excellency, I'm really sorry, Xiye Mansion is a long way, and please come with me to take the carriage in the town, which will take about two days."

I heard that it would take two days to ride in a carriage, and Xia Feng was happy at that time.

"Two days? When I arrived, the dishes at the family banquet were not all cold. ”

"No, some guests are also far away, the head of the Ling family will wait for you, Your Excellency, without further ado, let's go to the town quickly and get in the carriage to feel at ease."

Xia Feng pursed his lips.

"Forget the carriage, let's take a helicopter."

"Straight..... Helicopter? ”

"By the way, you know the way."

Nishinomiya replied nervously.

"The road must be recognized."

....

Coming to the temporary parking area built on the coastline, dozens of planes of Black Steel are still parked here.

Using the communicator to call Captain Rota, who led the team, Xia Feng briefly explained the needs.

"Brother Luo, let the brothers give me the whole plane, I'm going to go out."

He and Captain Rota are old acquaintances, and now they are in an employment relationship, hearing his words, Captain Rota began to execute without any hesitation.

"No problem, do you need me to arrange a team of bodyguards to accompany me?"

"Bodyguards don't need it."

"That's good."

Soon, a relatively small helicopter was ready to take off, and an elite member of Blacksteel served as the "driver" the whole time.

"Buzz Buzz!"

With the roar of propellers and engines, the plane took to the skies.

Xia Feng glanced at Xigong Yanshi, who was sitting next to him with a pale face, and estimated that this old guy was about to be scared out of his heart attack, obviously it was the first time he had taken a plane.

"Mr. Yanshi, don't be nervous, this plane is very safe."

"Yes..... Yes, heh. ”

Xigong Yanshi forced out a smile, but his limbs were still stiff, and the whole person seemed to be constipated.

.....

In this way, the original eighteen-bend of the mountain road became a straight line.

It took less than 4 hours for the Black Steel International plane to arrive at the capital of the Nishinomiya family, Nishiye Mansion.

It was afternoon when I set off from the south coast, and it was just dark when I landed in the West Leaf Mansion, and it seemed that I could still catch the dinner of the Nishinomiya family.

Faced with the efficient means of transportation for this trip, Nishinomiya Hikoshi, who pretended to have seen the world, was already amazed beyond words, and felt like a dream.

Because the original arrangement was to arrive in two days, the Nishinomiya family was not prepared at all in advance, and when they saw such a behemoth landing in the open space outside the mansion, the samurai of the family immediately surrounded it nervously.

"What people!"

The hatch opened, and Nishinomiya Hikoshi first jumped out in a hurry, shouting at the samurai who was like a great enemy.

"Hurry up and inform the Ling family master, Your Excellency Xia Feng has arrived!"

Xia Feng walked slowly down the hatch with the red knife.

"Hey, Mr. Yanshi, don't be so quiet, I'm not a big person, keep a low profile."

"Oh, well, then your Excellency, please come with me."

....

....

That night, Xia Feng was in the living room of the mansion and finally met the current head of the Xigong family, Xigong Ling.

As rumored, Xigong Ling is very young, and he looks slightly older than him, definitely no more than 30 years old.

This person has a tall posture, clear eyebrows, and a single horn on his head that is rare among the ghost clansmen, and judging from his smooth palms, he should not have the slightest martial arts, and he is a pure "mastermind behind the scenes".

Similarly, in Xigong Ling's eyes, Xia Feng's appearance also surprised him slightly.

He didn't expect that Xia Feng, who was quietly rising on the south coast of Xichuan and had a complex background, was actually so young, even younger than him.

Invite Xia Feng to the guest of honor, Xigong Ling Zhengse said.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, I have heard of the name for a long time, and today I see that I am really young and promising, please forgive me for missing the distance."

Facing the head of the Xigong family, Xia Feng showed a rare slight humility.

"Each other, the Ling family master is polite."

Xigong Ling was not a pedantic person, even if Xia Feng looked like he was ordinary and covered one eye, he had no doubts about this young man's ability.

In other words, in the current situation of the Xigong family, he can only pin his hopes on the people he relies on.

.....

Because the original family banquet was scheduled to be two days later, Xia Feng arrived early, so Xigong Ling stood up and made a gesture of asking for concessions after a few simple greetings with him in the living room.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, I didn't expect you to come so refreshingly, I'm sorry, my family is not well prepared, and please bother you to stay in the mansion for a day."

Xia Feng nodded easily.

"No problem, it's the same wherever you stay, by the way, did you eat at night?"

Xigong Ling smiled politely.

"The meager wine and food have been prepared, in fact, before you, there is also a distinguished guest from afar who has arrived today, Your Excellency Xia Feng, if you don't dislike it, you might as well dine together, both of them are nobles who saved my Xigong family from fire and water, and it is also a good thing to make friends with each other."

Listening to Xigong Ling's tone, this person who arrived before him should not be some governor from the Yan Kingdom, otherwise he would not have easily let him meet as a businessman.

Come to think of it, it should be a big businessman somewhere.

"No problem, I'm hungry anyway, there are multiple people to talk to, and eating is not so boring."

"Oh, Your Excellency, please."

.....

With the red knife, Xia Feng followed Xigong Ling to a small room in the living room.

Pushing open the door, the table was full of good wine and food.

At the same time, a low, magnetic voice came from the table.

"Xigong Ling, why are you so slow to pick up someone, and you want me to wait so long?"

Xia Feng, who had just walked in the door, heard the sound and looked, only to see a peerless beauty wearing a white coat and a black-haired shawl sitting at the top of the table.

This person has a tall nose, slightly wrinkled eyebrows, black eyes and black hair, and a pair of dragon horns unique to the dragon clan, with cherry red thin lips, hesitating the beauty reflected in the ancient style painting.

Facing this person's questioning, Xigong Ling immediately introduced.

"I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, let me introduce you, this is Your Excellency Xia Feng from the south coast of Xichuan, a big businessman who runs the sandworm breeding industry, and also a noble person of my Xigong family......."

Before Xigong Ling's introduction could speak, I saw Xia Feng suddenly reach out and point to the "big beauty" sitting at the table like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Damn, why are you!"

Seeing Xia Feng, this person seemed to be very surprised, and under the peerless face, a male voice came.

"Xia Feng, your kid is still alive."

During the banquet, Xigong Ling, who was the head of the family, was stunned by the reflection of the two.

"Boss Snow, do you know each other?"

At this time, the person who arrived at the Xigong family one step ahead of Xia Feng was the owner of the Snow Emperor Group, who monopolized the Sami pharmaceutical industry and was known as the rich and rival country, Inan Xue.

.....

After a brief moment of surprise, Inan Xue showed a smile and said with a slight mockery.

"Heh, I see, the Ling family master is very capable, the person you invited is the real boss."

Seeing Xigong Ling's bewildered look, Yi Nanxue continued word by word.

"The Black Feather Chamber of Commerce that monopolizes the trade between the north and south of Victoria, the gangsters who monopolize the underground source stone trade in the entire eastern part of Terra, the underground emperor of southern Victoria, the allies of the three major forces of Columbia Black Steel International, Longmen Penguin Logistics, and the Sherragkaran trade, heh, the summer breeze that controls most of the dark night in the world of Terra, is that you?"

The air fell silent.

Then, under Xigong Ling's shocked gaze, Xia Feng walked to the table by himself.

"Whoa!"

Reaching out and pulling out a chair, he sat down next to Inan Xue and said unpleasantly.

"Yi Nanxue, you are less yin and yang, that is me in the past, and now Lao Tzu is just a businessman."
