"Let's talk about it, the villain you are talking about should be someone inside the Red Lotus, and he may covet the position of the next generation as a family member, if it is not cleared, it may be more troublesome in the future. Allure, the enemy in the red lotus, do you recognize it?" Zuo Congrong interrupted the touching time of the grandfather and grandson very inopportunely, and interjected.

"Not yet, I've been busy with cultivation in the past few years, and I just reached the level of an ability person, so I was sent to the Meister family to be a guard for the eldest lady, and I haven't found it yet. ”

"Yes......"

"Zuo Congrong, I don't know on what grounds you think that the enemy will be a person from Red Lotus, but I will consider your suggestion, after all, it is still about Mengmeng's safety at this time, thank you. In addition, for the sake of the matter of you finding my granddaughter for me, today's matter will not be investigated, but Xiaoying must not let you take it away, and finally there is a turnaround, and you must not make the grudge between the two main cities deeper because of your personal feelings. Fan Jiangcheng said clearly between public and private.

"yes, it doesn't seem like the last time. You also have people who need to be protected, right? Are you sure you can stop me?" After listening to Fan Jiangcheng's words, Zuo Congrong threatened without showing weakness.

Yes, this time is different from the last time, the original purpose of Fan Jiangcheng last time was to kill Lan Feng, Fan Jiangcheng did not have the slightest scruples, but Zuo Congrong had to protect Lan Feng and Mingzhu while fighting with opponents who were much more powerful than himself, and the gap during the period can be imagined. And this time is different, Zuo Congrong has Xiaoying in his hand, and Fan Jiangcheng has the only granddaughter who has just met in his hand, and the two are also in a state of five or five, although Allure is Zuo Congrong's apprentice, Zuo Congrong can't attack her, but Xiao Ying is not like this, Fan Jiangcheng definitely has no way to start with Xiao Ying.

Compared with Fan Jiangcheng's restraints in the mansion, Zuo Congrong will not be merciful just because this is the place where he grew up. In comparison, perhaps Zuo Congrong is more advantageous.

"It's really a defeat for you, can't you listen to someone finish your words? Seeing Zuo Congrong's attitude, Fan Jiangcheng sighed with a helpless expression.

"What?" Zuo Congrong, who didn't understand what Fan Jiangcheng was planning, couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"I just said I can't let you take Xiaoying away......"

"If you don't let me take Xiaoying away, what else is there to talk about. ”

"Xiaolong, you listen to the master first. Conscience stopped a little unbearably.

"Well, you say. Zuo Congrong looked back at his conscience, and finally compromised and seemed to ask again.

"Xiao Ying can't let you take it away. After all, your purpose is just to stop this discordant engagement ceremony, so you want to take Xiaoying, right? Fan Jiangcheng asked.

"If it makes sense, I still need to use this method, when I first came over, I also wanted to make him give up through communication, but what about him. He didn't even let me see Xiao Ying, do you think it's possible to talk about it like this?" Zuo Congrong replied dissatisfiedly.

"Maybe it's because your reputation was not good before, if I vouch for it, I think at least Beyondsoft will still talk to you, of course, I will also help you speak, but whether it will succeed is not guaranteed, after all, there are no more than 4 days left before the engagement. I think it's at least a lot better than what you're doing now. Fan Jiangcheng suggested.

“...... Can you believe your words?" Zuo Congrong pondered for a moment. I think the feasibility of this method is still very good, and the only key factor is the credibility of Fan Jiangcheng's words.

"Brother, just listen to the master. "After all, he is a big man on an equal footing with the master of the Mestre clan, if he is there to help him. The chances of persuading the clan lord are much greater, Xiao Ying and Zuo Congrong have different ideas, and Xiao Ying has never had the slightest doubt about the guarantee of being a family, after all, this place is now full of people at this moment. I'm afraid that even if the family wants to regret it, it is impossible to do it for the sake of their own reputation, and IE Zuo Congrong has just helped him find his long-lost granddaughter. As a thank you gift, the family will also help them.

"I'm going to believe you for once...... , If things are different from what I expected, I will still take Xiaoying away at that time. Seeing that Xiaoying had spoken, Zuo Congrong didn't pursue it too much and agreed.

"As I said, I can only help you speak, because this is a major matter related to the two main cities, even if Boyan agrees, in the end, if Qingcheng doesn't let go, it won't be easy for us to do it, I hope you can come to your senses. Fan Jiangcheng emphasized again. Indeed, as Fan Jiangcheng said, the first thing to convince now is the clan master, even if the clan master is convinced, the next negotiation with Qingcheng is not a small problem, after all, there are only 4 days left before the engagement ceremony, and the news of the engagement between the two has spread in the two main cities more than a month ago, and now the rash cancellation of the marriage contract is probably a big blow to the prestige of the two families. At this moment, even if both families intend to cancel the marriage contract, I am afraid that in order not to lose their prestige in the hearts of the people, they will forcibly hold the engagement ceremony, which is already a difficult state to ride a tiger.

"That's why I said that taking Xiao Ying away is the best way to save trouble. Zuo Congrong smacked his lips in dissatisfaction and replied with a complaint.

"It's a good thing for young people to have blood and courage, but it's hard to have courage and no strategy, now you are already a trainee elder of the Imperial Capital Magic Regiment, you have to be more cautious in your words and deeds, like the kind of things that made trouble in the main city before, it's better to do less, and besides, this is still a place where you were born and raised, or leave some face, didn't you see it when I came over, your father is obviously protecting you, don't do something to make the family sad." Fan Jiangcheng persuaded.

"Family...... Yes. Zuo Congrong sighed thoughtfully.

□□□

"Boyan, can you cancel Xiaoying's marriage contract" Without waiting for Zuo Congrong to say something, Fan Jiangcheng had already said straight to the point.

"Uncle Jiang, why did you start mentioning this matter too?" the clan leader was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief. If someone else made this suggestion, the clan lord could understand it, but this matter is related to the grievances between Jingcheng and Qingcheng for thousands of years, if it can't be properly handled, it will easily cause a bigger problem, and Fan Jiangcheng should be the most aware of the problem, why is he making such a request now.

"You should know what just happened, Xiaoying is obviously resisting this marriage contract, and if this matter is imposed on her head again, there may be something wrong. I watched Xiaoying grow up, and I don't want her to have any accidents. Fan Jiangcheng explained.

"Xiao Ying, you tell your father, what do you think?" After listening to Fan Jiangcheng's explanation, the clan leader did not get angry with Xiao Ying, but just asked Xiao Ying for advice very ordinarily.

"I don't want to marry someone I don't know, Dad, can you not assign me a marriage?"

"Well....... Xiao Ying, this life. Sometimes you will face a lot of problems, and some of these problems can choose your own way out, such as when you insist on going to the Second Academy of the Imperial Capital, there are also helpless things that you have to accept, such as when you were born in the Mestre family, no matter what, these problems are slowly passed by under the washing of time. I'm sure that even the engagement ceremony that you think will determine your life today will fade away in the near future. Born in the Mestre family. There will always be a mission that you must complete, and this is a mission that you cannot refuse and cannot refuse. Since they are the sons and daughters of the Mestre family,. It is necessary to take on the responsibility of the children of the Mester family, the patriarch said.

"If you fart, you have to sacrifice even the happiness of your own daughter, and you can't even take care of your own daughter. I can't even take care of my own family, and I still talk about a city, how can you be a father? How can you be a city lord?" Zuo Congrong knew very well. How important is the influence of the patriarch in the majesty of the Mester family, after such a round of persuasion, Xiao Ying is afraid that it will be easy to make a decision against her will, and she asked angrily at the moment.

"Ah Rong, don't be impulsive, if you have something to say, let Xiaoying talk about her opinion first. Seeing that Zuo Congrong was suddenly so irrational, Ziyuan hurriedly tugged at Zuo Congrong's shirt and persuaded.

"You are still too young, there are many things that are not as simple as you imagined, take the matter of Jingcheng and Qingcheng peace talks, Jiang Bo is also very clear, how difficult it is, you can go and ask Jiang Bo. After thousands of years of entanglements and grievances, even the emperor intervened and could not resolve them, do you think that the peace talks between the two cities can be achieved by just relying on a piece of paper and verbal promises, not to mention the evil thoughts that have existed in the hearts of the people for a long time, that is, the Mestre family and the Lu family of the authorities, there are countless people inside who are slandering this peace talk, marriage is only the first step, if you can't even take the first step, what do you let the people of the two main cities think, what do you let the opposition among those in power think? The general trend of peace talks, the two main cities have been grudging for a long time, and now is a good time to usher in coexistence and win-win, and you actually said that just for the happiness of your sister, you have to destroy the sadness and hard work that has taken thousands of years to stumble to get to the present?" the clan leader asked angrily.

"If there is a consensus to come together, why stick to formal marriages. Is a peace negotiation that can only be achieved by marriage more effective than a contract written on paper? In the final analysis, it was just a trick to deceive oneself, and in the end, only Xiao Ying was sacrificed. ”

"Marriage is not such a simple thing, since the true ancient times, many political goals have been achieved through marriage, if you don't even have the consciousness of sacrificing a woman, how can you do great things. ”

"A woman, how can you say it so easily, she is your own daughter!" Hearing this, Zuo Congrong, who had been suppressing his anger, finally couldn't hold back anymore and shouted loudly.

"You're wrong, she's not just my daughter, she's also the daughter of the Mestre family, and being born in the Mestre family requires you to take on the responsibilities of the Mestre family. Seeing that Zuo Congrong was angry, the clan leader regained his composure and calmly replied.

"Hmph, what a Meester family, what a Meester family! That's why staying here makes me feel disgusting, full of stubborn and rancid smell, just such an old, rotten, and disgusting family, is there really anyone who sacrifices for it?" Zuo Congrong said as if he was recalling something. In order to prevent the third son from being better than the eldest son and disgrace the Mestre family, whether he was sent to a private college or abolished Danyu, it was all because of this reason, right? In the end, the weight of "father" in his heart is always no better than that of "clan master"!

"It is necessary to preserve traditions, it is also necessary to welcome the future, and for this, sacrifice is necessary. ”

"But why Xiaoying!"

"Are there any cards that can be played?" Facing Zuo Congrong's questioning, the clan leader seemed helpless and asked melancholy.

"......" Zuo Congrong was immediately asked, and he had nothing to say. Indeed, as the patriarch said, there are no more cards to play.

Because the positions of the peace talks are equal, there is no fixed requirement for the choice of the woman or the man for the marriage. The patriarch had four children under his knees. However, the eldest son is already married, the second son also has a marriage contract with the daughter of the Jiangcheng Long family, and the third son Zuo Congrong has run away from home and has not come back until now, and he is also in a marriage contract, and the rest is only the eldest daughter who has not yet been married. Although there are no hard requirements for the person who is married, there is a default rule that this person must be a member of the clan family, but the head of the clan is an only child, no brothers and sisters, although there are people of the right age in the family, but the identity is not enough. If you appoint and pro, it seems that you don't respect the other party, but it is easy to regenerate incidents, and after thinking about it, only Xiaoying can be used as a bargaining chip.

"Can't you push off this marriage contract?" Speaking of this, there is no need to talk about it anymore, the clan lord is determined to promote this marriage, even if Fan Jiangcheng takes a stand, it can't make the clan lord change his mind, I'm afraid it will be impossible to get a result if the next talk continues. Zuo Congrong asked as if he had given up.

"No!" replied the patriarch decisively and resolutely.

"In that case, I had to kidnap Xiao Ying by myself, if it was a 'ghost', I would like to see what the Mester family and the Lu family will do next. Zuo Congrong took a deep breath. I'm ready to tear my face with the Mestre family again.

......

"What's wrong? Zuo Congrong was about to make a move, when he suddenly felt a weak and boneless little hand on his shoulder, it was Xiao Ying.

"Brother, thank you!"

"What a stupid thing to say. I'm your brother. Hearing Xiaoying thank herself, Zuo Congrong's heart warmed and replied.

"So. Enough!"

"What?"

“......”

“......”

“......”

“......”

Zuo Congrong's surprise question, as well as the surprised eyes of Ziyuan, Fan Jiangcheng, Conscience, and Allure City, all pointed to Xiao Ying.

"What did you say?" Zuo Congrong was so anxious that he grabbed Xiao Ying's shoulders and asked back and forth.

"Enough, enough! ”

"Whether it's my brother or my father, they're all the people I love the most, don't quarrel about my business anymore. I agreed to the marriage, the marriage. Xiao Ying gave up and said something that broke her heart.

"Xiao Ying......"

"Brother. My brother was eleven when he ran away from home, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"Actually, I thought before that if I had been older, I would have run away from home with my brother. Going to the Second Academy too, because the smell of the Mestre family was so uncomfortable that I thought about running away,...... If I had the courage of my brother, maybe I wouldn't be what I am now. Xiao Ying, who has been speaking in suppressed and low words, I don't know when it started, and the tears of the bean size kept falling from her eyes, telling her bitterness and suffering. Perhaps, what people want in this life is not wealth and power, but to be with the people they want to be together, to be happy, not to do what they don't like to do, and not to cater to anything against their will. The most inconspicuous thing in the eyes of ordinary people may be the most unattainable good wish in this life.

“......”

“......”

“......”

At this time, no one spoke, no one had the qualifications to speak, listening to Xiao Ying's heart-rending words, everyone only had empathy in their hearts, and the pain from the bottom of their hearts to their throats made them all integrate their consciousness into Xiao Ying's world.

Even the patriarch who had been sitting behind the desk was full of guilt at the moment, and he was helpless to prop his elbows on the desk and put his fingers on his forehead. I don't know if I'm regretting my decision or feeling sorry for my failure as a father.

"Brother, being my brother's sister in this life is the greatest happiness in my life, if there is a next life, will I still be my brother's sister?"

"Well, you are still a good sister to your brother, you have always been a good sister to your brother. ”

"So, brother, don't do these things for me anymore. Dad is also the best dad in the world, if there is a next life, I still want to be my father's daughter, but if there is a next life, don't be reincarnated in the Mester family no matter what!" Xiao Ying said in a voice that seemed to scream from the bottom of her heart.

"Xiao Ying......" Hearing Xiao Ying's words of hating the Mester family like this, the patriarch couldn't help but look up at this daughter who was obedient and would never refuse any request. The first time I heard my daughter's heart, I didn't expect it to be on this occasion.

"If it's an ordinary family, Dad must be the best father. If it weren't for the Mestre family, my brother would have been by my side all the time, why did he become like this?" asked himself as if he had seen through life and death, as if he had seen through life and death. (To be continued......)
