The castle lord's mansion is the back house. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

A quiet living room with very simple furnishings. On the chairs on either side, there sat three people who were not supposed to intersect.

A large, rugged-looking man looked at the door of the room from time to time.

"Why haven't you come yet. ”

The person who didn't wait for the expectation seemed to make the big man a little irritable. As soon as he finished speaking, he got up a little impatiently and walked back and forth in the room.

"Ning Hongzhi, can you stop for a moment, you have already asked eight times for this moment. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe sitting opposite the big man said, his face was a little gloomy, and his fingers kept tapping on the coffee table next to him.

This big man was none other than Ning Hongzhi from the Ning family, and when he heard the other party's words, he stopped and snorted lightly.

"Wang Mingren, you don't have to pretend to be deep there, if you can hold on, how can you rush here as soon as you hear that you are going to deal with the Hou Mansion. I see you have a ghost in your heart. ”

Ning Hongzhi's last sentence, although it was an unintentional word, happened to hit Wang Mingren's sore spot. His face became even more gloomy, and the hand that tapped on the table was withdrawn.

"Reckless, no wonder he has been pressed by Ning Yuanshan for so many years and can't raise his head, and at this time, he doesn't even have the most basic patience. Wang Mingren glanced up at the big man, and a trace of resentment crossed the depths of his eyes.

"Wang Mingren, who are you talking about? I don't think you want to live anymore. ”

Ning Hongzhi, who was tall and strong, stepped forward, and his thick internal qi forced the other party one step earlier. It's just that Wang Mingren didn't seem to want to pay attention to the other party, and lowered his head again in contemplation.

A short and fat old man had been sitting next to him without saying a word, but seeing Ning Hongzhi's movements, as the only bystander in the room, he had to get up to stop him, but the look on his face was a little depressed.

"Brother Ning, what's wrong with you, today we are here to talk about big things, don't lose big because of small things. Hurt the peace. Although the old man spoke persuasively, his attitude was quite soft, and it could be seen from his momentum that compared to the other two, his status was much worse.

Seeing the old man's obstruction, Ning Hongzhi took a small step forward again, his gaze jumped over the other party, and fell on Wang Mingren, but his voice was deliberately much louder.

"Lao Li, give you face. If he provokes me again next time, I can't guarantee that he will still have such a good temper. Although Ning Hongzhi said that he would give the old man face, there was no respect for the other party in his tone.

After speaking, he returned to his position and sat down with a victorious momentum, but there was still a lot of smugness in his eyes when he glanced at Wang Mingren.

Seeing that the contradiction was temporarily resolved, the short and fat old man also turned around and walked to his seat. It's just that the moment he turned around, there was more worry in his eyes.

He didn't know if it was right to come today, but he didn't represent an individual, but more than half of the small and medium-sized families in Jinyang.

On weekdays, the relationship between the Marquis of Jinyang and other families in the city is also quite harmonious. Only in terms of the military power of the border army, Ning Yuanshan holds the power alone, and no one else is allowed to get involved in it.

But it is precisely this point that makes families complain a lot in private. Gangbei Province is a side road, different from other parts of the Yan Kingdom, and the major families attach great importance to the power in the military above money, and even say that they regard it as the foundation of their family.

It's just that under the prestige of the Hou Mansion, everyone only complains secretly at most, and they dare not express it on the surface.

But since not long ago, the City Lord's Mansion took out the token of the ten generals of the border army as a reward for the competition, there have been some bad rumors in private. It is said that the royal family is preparing to take back the military power of the border army.

Of course, the cause of this rumor also has his 'credit'. But he didn't expect things to come to this.

Now that I think about it, I am afraid that I have also fallen into Wang Mingren's way.

Cautiously glanced at Wang Mingren, who seemed to be thinking down, the old man did not blame the other party for using him, but he admired the other party a little, and he was able to use such a simple method to stir up the seemingly harmonious situation in Jinyang to such a point.

If the person in charge of handling the affairs of the Hou Mansion had a city government like Wang Mingren, the old man would not be worried. But Ning Hongzhi's actions just now made him too disappointed.

If Ning Hongzhi really did it, he might still admire the other party's fierce spirit. However, Ning Hongzhi deliberately waited for himself to stop it. Even after he spoke, he left words to intimidate the other party. This not only failed to show his confidence, but made the old man look down on him.

And Wang Mingren has not said a word except for the initial sentence of ridiculing Ning Hongzhi, this calm atmosphere is indeed extremely good. However, the old man was also a little puzzled, if Wang Mingren was planning from the Ten General Tokens to the entire deal against the Hou Mansion, why did he provoke Ning Hongzhi again. Even if Ning Hongzhi is a straw bag, his identity is also an indispensable relief in this matter.

Such behaviour is unwise.

This question, the old man surnamed Li couldn't guess it, after all, he was a little too late to participate in this matter, if it weren't for the representative of Jinyang's small and medium-sized family, he might not have the opportunity to participate today. But in the face of an organizer who is so discordant even on the surface, he really has little confidence in the outcome.

Wang Mingren, who bowed his head and pondered, was not as profound as the old man thought. The reason why he ignored Ning Hongzhi was that he also saw the other party's lust and guilt.

Moreover, he has never put a person like Ning Hongzhi in his eyes. As long as you have a little knowledge, you know that the Ning family is just a moth attached to the Hou Mansion. Without Ning Yuanshan in front of him to shelter from the wind and rain, the Ning family is not even a fart.

If it weren't for the fact that there would be a puppet after this matter was over, Ning Hongzhi would not have the qualifications to sit here at all. He was a little curious, how could the other party's pig brain become the same as him.

However, Ning Hongzhi was right about one thing, the reason why he was unusually here today and came to the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry was because he was worried in his heart. Ever since the Raven left him two days ago, he had always been distracted.

And the news that Ning Yuanshan went to the villa outside the city yesterday made him even more restless. Although in his opinion, the cultivation of the evil crow, there is absolutely no one in Jinyang who can compete with it. But for the sake of insurance, he still chose to come to the City Lord's Mansion.

Regarding the matter of the Hou Mansion, he thinks that it cannot be delayed any longer.

The three of them had their own thoughts, and the room suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and two people walked in from the outside.

City Lord Dong Gaoming walked in front, and Lu Yuan, who came from Yanjing, followed by the other party.

A few days ago, the frustration of 'missing' two Star Vein Martial Artists had disappeared from his face. And judging from the faint smell of fat powder and alcohol on his body, it is obvious that he has lived a good life in the past few days.

Seeing the visitor, Ning Hongzhi hurriedly got up and saluted, and did enough courtesy. It seems that it is another person who is about to do something wrong just now.

Compared with Ning Hongzhi's eagerness, Wang Mingren and the old man surnamed Li seem to be much more stable. It's just that the former is more like thinking about something, while the latter is a little more cautious.

Lu Yuan's sneering personality remained unchanged, and when he saw the appearance of the three of them, he said in a choked voice.

"Yo, there's something wrong with the atmosphere here, isn't it that I'm missing something. ”

Lu Yuan's words made Ning Hongzhi's face a little embarrassed. But fortunately, Lu Yuan didn't really want to ask, and followed Dong Gaoming straight to the top.

Everyone sat down.

Dong Gaoming, who was sitting at the top, was a little thin, and his hair was half white, but he was in good spirits. Being in a high position all year round gives him a little more majesty that ordinary people don't have.

"Today, I think you all know the purpose of calling you here. ”
