Chapter 94: The Nalan Family
On both sides of the ten-meter-wide gate of the Nalan Mansion, a group of soldiers in armor stood upright, with solemn faces and majestic faces. The faintly revealed aura has the realm of a fighter.
'It's really ...... to take a fighter to guard the door'
Xiao Feng's eyes came to the lower position of the soldier squad, and there was a mighty stone lion carving on each side of the road, lying prone on the side of the road, about ten meters away from the mansion.
'If you put it so far, you won't be afraid of being stolen......
Xiao Feng took a step forward and walked towards the gate.
"This son, please stop." A soldier who was outside turned his body and looked at Xiao Feng vigilantly, while the others also pressed the hilt of their swords one after another, and the other hand holding the gun was also slightly tight.
Xiao Feng smiled indifferently and said: "Please pass it on, my name is Xiao Feng, my mother Nalan Qing, you should guess what my identity is!" β
The soldier's face with a cold face changed, he looked at Xiao Feng seriously for a moment, and replied coldly: "Son, wait a minute!" β
He waved his hand, and one of the soldiers near the gate trotted into the mansion gate.
"Is something happening to the Nalan family? So heavily guarded? Xiao Feng asked in a low voice.
The soldier stood quietly in front of Xiao Feng, as if he was deaf to Xiao Feng's questioning. just kept looking at Xiao Feng with those curious eyes, but his vigilance had been let down.
Xiao Feng shook his head slightly, feeling a little bored in his heart.
It seems that the soldier brother in this vindictive continent is not bad in discipline at all! β
The soldiers who can be used to guard the mansion must be at the level of a personal guard or a guard. The cronies of the cronies, the elite of the elite, can be believed.
In just a moment, Xiao Feng heard a rush and messy footsteps.
"Is Feng'er here? Ha ha! β
Listening to the unfamiliar and somewhat impressive voice, the corners of Xiao Feng's mouth hooked up a smile: "This feeling of being cared for is not bad! β
The sound of footsteps approached, and the heroic, sturdy middle-aged man appeared in Xiao Feng's field of vision.
"Uncle!" Xiao Feng gently spit out the two words that were jerky, and when he really said it, it was just like that, and he naturally blurted it out.
"Haha, good! It's good to come. Nalan Su took a step forward and slapped his palm on Xiao Feng's shoulder: "I haven't seen you for six years, I've grown taller and stronger!" β
The soldiers on both sides bowed slightly, Nalan Su waved his hand casually, took Xiao Feng's arm and said with a slight reproach: "Go, enter the mansion, how can the young master of the Nalan family stand outside, what is it like?" β
Xiao Feng was pulled by Nalan Su and entered the wide gate. Out of politeness, he did not use his soul power to probe the mansion, and when he came in at this time, he realized that the vastness of this Nalan Mansion was not something that could be seen from the outside.
Nalan Su seemed to see Xiao Feng's exclamation, and said with a smile: "In a place like the imperial capital, where every inch of land is valuable, the size of the mansion represents the level of your status. β
"There are places you can't buy with money! Although the Nalan family doesn't need this mansion to decorate the faΓ§ade, living in this imperial capital, there are some places where we can't avoid vulgarity! β
"Your grandfather and I, as well as several of your cousins, are all from the army, and we can sleep in the camp tents and wilderness, so how can we care about these things outside our bodies?"
"It's really in the game, it's just vulgar! Otherwise, we are outliers! β
Xiao Feng nodded lightly, he also understood some of these truths!
Man is a social animal, but some circles and necessary socialization are essential!
Want to be unaffected by the world? Either you have strength above all else, or you live in seclusion!
In a secular society, strength is financial power or power! For example, Ma Dad, he can rightly say, 'I'm not interested in money!' β
In this Douqi Continent, this strength is the real strength! In the Gama Empire, with the realm of Douzong, you can do whatever you want. In the vast Dou Qi Continent, it would take the realm of the Dou Emperor to ignore everything!
Following the bluestone pavement of the platform, through the well-built dense forests and gardens, and stepping through several Lanting Water Pavilions, Xiao Feng came to the back house of Nalan Mansion under the leadership of Nalan Su.
Tall attics are everywhere, and it's hard to imagine how many people there are in the Nalan family to live in such a big house. This scale is much larger than the Xiao family. And this is in the imperial capital!
"Come, Feng'er, this is an idle courtyard, are you satisfied with it?" Nalan Su said with a smile and pointed to a courtyard in front of him.
Xiao Feng took a look, only to see that there was an exquisite courtyard in the Yuemen, precious flowers and plants were sporadically planted in the flower beds surrounded by stones, and the bluestone road led directly to a three-story small building, about twelve meters high.
There is a flat square in the courtyard, on which there is also a weapon shelf, and some stone mortars for refining are lying on the square at will.
The Nalan family is a clan with military merits, and both men and women in the clan have been exercising since childhood, which can be seen from some ornaments.
"Very good!"
Xiao Feng thought of something, and said softly: "Uncle, I heard that my grandfather was poisoned, and I happen to know alchemy, why don't you let me take a look?" β
Nalan Su was slightly stunned, looked at Xiao Fenghu and said suspiciously: "You still know alchemy?" β
Xiao Feng looked at Nalan Su's suspicious eyes, stretched out his palm, and a purple flame appeared in his palm. Immediately after, the white flame at the center of the eyebrows also appeared on the side of the body.
Nalan Su felt the sudden drop in temperature and the white flame that brought him a strong sense of crisis, and exclaimed: "This is, a strange fire!" β
Immediately, his body trembled slightly, a thick surprise flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed Xiao Feng and walked in the direction of Nalan Ji in the backyard: "Okay!" Feng'er, you're too timely! β
Suddenly, he patted his forehead, stood and looked at Xiao Feng, and said with a serious face: "How many pharmacists are you?" Can you subtly manipulate the fire? You know, this is your grandfather's life, and you can't afford to be sloppy! β
"So-so five or six products! The success rate of refining the peak elixir of the fourth grade is more than eighty percent or ninety, and the elixir of the fifth and sixth grades has not been refined, I don't know! Xiao Feng said casually.
"You kid!" Nalan Su gently rubbed Xiao Feng's head, his eyes were slightly red, he turned his face away and wiped the corners of his eyes. Pull Xiao Feng and leave.
The pressure on him these days is too great, and if Nalan Ji can't stand up every day, the burden of the Nalan family will be on him every day. In the power center of the imperial capital, it is a very dangerous thing to be unworthy.
I don't know how many forces are waiting for Nalan Ji to fall, waiting for him to fall completely.
The only thing to be thankful for is that his daughter Nalan Yanran is a disciple of the Douhuang powerhouse Yun Yun and the young sect master of the Yunlan Sect. Some forces in the imperial capital still want to give Nalan Yanran a little face.
Otherwise, the pressure on him will be even greater!
