Chapter 129, the Tian family
Tian Leopard's words were really not polite, he really belonged to the ranks of the landlords here, and this feeling became even stronger after coming to the Tian family.
It covers a vast area, faces the sea behind the mountain, is extremely magnificent, there are 3,000 guests, countless servants, the Tian family knows everyone in this Nanjing Tower, the structure of the whole Tian family mansion is like a skyscraper, and they do not live outside the mountain, but dig out a Taoyuan cave in the mountain.
Xu Zhige and several people walked into the gate of the Tian family, and even the well-informed Leo was not only amazed.
After a long journey, they walked into the mountains. The interior of the mountain is cylindrical, and the central plaza is hollowed out to the top of the mountain, and the thick sunlight shines down from the top of the mountain. The square is surrounded by a variety of rooms and halls, and these buildings are also clinging to the mountain wall, and there are many floors. It would cost a huge amount of money just to open up the mountain range, and the amount of money and time that the Tian family mansion would cost was simply appalling!
Tian Bao wanted to go back to his life, and Jiang Zhen naturally became the best choice for the tour guide. After all, he had been in the Tian family for many years, and he was half of the Tian family.
After walking through the gate, Xu Zhige has been in a state of amazement.
The variety of layouts and buildings alone is dazzling and eye-opening. And along the way, Jiang Zhen was also very willing to introduce the origin of various scenes in this mansion to Xu Zhige and the others. For example, the small garden designed and built by the horticultural master of the Holy Continent, the stone bench made of the best Sirius stone dug up from the Beichen Heavenly Wolf Mountain, and the Panlong Pillar carved from the Xingnan wood specially transported from the northern border of Huangzhou.
"This ...... It's really unimaginable! Although we have heard of the richness of the New World for a long time, it is indeed unimaginable when we look at it with our own eyes!" "Yu Wenshi felt that his mouth was a little dry, he came from a sandbank, which was remote and desolate, how could he have seen such luxurious beauty! And this was only a local power! A local power that was not particularly powerful already had such wealth, so what about the old local powers? What about the kingdoms? Even the ancient kingdoms that had been passed down for at least ten generations in legends? What kind of heritage should it be?
"Don't say anything else!, it's really eye-opening!" Lin Kui also hurriedly sighed.
Along the way, Xu Zhige was almost wondering if this iron-masked man who looked expressionless was showing off his wealth, although he didn't say anything about the value of geometry, but this kind of invisible flaunting of wealth that you guess how much it costs is more speechless than directly showing off his wealth.
"Several, the guest room has arrived, please forgive me for missing me. ”
After taking Xu Zhige and the others to a room that looked like a family gate-like building, Jiang Zhen left.
And Xu Zhige and the others sat quietly in the room, discussing their own affairs.
As soon as Xu Zhige opened his mouth, he asked, "Lan Lan, do you remember where your treasure is located?"
"Let me see again. Lan Lan was a little helpless, "In the spring and autumn of hundreds of years, the mountains and rivers have been transformed into a mess, and it is probably very good for me to remember living in one, and it is not easy to find it easily." But if you can find one or two iconic things, I think it will be a little easier. ”
"Can you tell me, what good things are you hiding? I'm a little itchy......" Lin Kui leaned over and lowered his voice and smiled, "Say it to make us happy?"
Lan Lan squinted at him, "You'll know when the time comes!
"Hehe, then I'm looking forward to it......"
Lin Kui didn't inquire anymore, and he himself knew that the people on the Dreadnought were a little repulsive, or rather wary, of him. This is also because they are not companions, but collaborators, since they are collaborators, it is better for everyone to keep a little secret, even if they are not honest, right?
Xu Zhige's side was calm, but Tian Leopard's side was turbulent.
After learning that his younger brother was almost intercepted and killed, Tian Hu, the son of the Tian family, suddenly took the case and said angrily: "Those orc mongrels borrowed courage from the sky? Even our Tian family dare to move? Aren't you afraid that we will immediately take action, kill them in the prairie, and exterminate their tribe?"
Sanzi Tian Biao touched his chin and said with a slight frown: "Second brother, don't you think this time things are very strange? It is said that your way back and forth is all set by the general for you, and basically few people know, how do the orcs know? There must be ghosts among them!"
"I've also wondered if an inner ghost has betrayed me. Tian Bao said in a deep voice: "But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be any good! I didn't go out to run goods this time, even if they catch me, what can I do? Extortion? Besides, they acted so cruelly that they knocked down an entire airship, and it looked like they wanted to kill more than kidnap me!"
"Could it be that you offended someone?" Tian Hu said in a sullen voice: "The half-orcs are also famous for doing anything as long as they give money, could it be that you offended people outside, and then someone bought you?"
"Probably not!" Tian Biao pondered: "If they really want to intercept and kill, I think they will definitely send more foolproof means, instead of letting the second brother come back easily like now." You should also know that from the Misty Cape to Nanjing Tower, there is a long distance between them, enough for them to deploy and assassinate them several times!"
"There is truth to that......"
The three sons of the Tian family were arguing endlessly below, while Tian Meng, the head of the Tian family who was sitting upright, closed his eyes and was silent.
"Who else was on the airship at that time, and who are the people who came back with you this time?"
Tian Meng, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly spoke, bringing the third son of the Tian family back to his senses.
"This ...... At that time, it was just me and Jiang Zhen and some retinue, oh, and there were two mages from the Holy Continent. Tian Bao said: "As for the others, they are my saviors." At the critical moment, it was they who showed up and killed me. ”
"Is it really such a coincidence?" Tian Meng's voice was a little deep. "There is no way to repay the grace of saving lives, and it is indeed the duty to treat them well, but I am afraid of ...... Lure the wolf into the house!"
"Father, do you mean that they are in the same group as the orcs?" Tian Biao lost his voice, then thought about it again, and said, "Don't lose this possibility! Otherwise, it is really difficult to explain why all this is like this......
"Third brother!"
Tian Bao took the case, "They are my benefactors, they saved my life! Your brother's life was saved by them!
Tian Biao laughed bitterly, "I naturally know that they are kind to my Tian family, but the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, second brother!"
"I don't know if you heard the wind. Tian Biaofu said: "The epic hero of the prairie has begun to seek a breakthrough, if he succeeds, then the status of the prairie will definitely leap from the local power to the kingdom power." The half-orc clan can immediately crush our Nanjing Tower. But the problem in front of the orcs now is that the one is closed, and he will never come out without big things, and once he disappears, it will be difficult for the prairie to avoid falling into a period of weakness in strength, so in order to avoid being eaten by us, they will naturally use a little means in secret to create the instability of our Nanjing Tower, so that we have no intention of devouring their forces!"
Tian Biao's analysis is reasonable and convincing, and even Tian Bao has to admit that this is indeed an analysis that is quite close to the truth.
Tian Bao said with some distress: "They all believed in me before they came back with me, should I drive them away because of some conjectures?
Tian Hu stood up and sighed: "Second brother, we can't be emotional! We have been entertaining them well these days, of course, we can't relax our vigilance against them secretly, and after a few days, we will find a random excuse, send a thank you gift, and then ask them to leave." ”
"Big brother...... Tian Bao still wanted to fight for something, but in the end he sighed, "Just do what you say." I'm so tired, let's go down and rest first. ”
Looking at the back of the second son leaving, Tian Meng sighed silently, and then looked at the remaining two sons, "In the past few days, you have to entertain a few distinguished guests." Don't be rude, you know?"
"Understood!" Tian Hu and Tian Biao respectfully bowed their hands and sent their father out.
"Third brother, I'm going to trouble you to watch more these days. Tian Hu said in a deep voice: "I will take care of the affairs outside, and negotiate with the orcs, I will let the second brother go, and the affairs at home will be handed over to you." If necessary...... You have an expedient approach!"
In the end, a hint of decisiveness flashed in Tian Hu's eyes. Among the three sons of the Tian family, the third son Tian Biao can make good decisions, and the second son Tian Bao attaches great importance to love and righteousness, but when it comes to decisive decisions, it should be the eldest son Tian Hu.
Tian Biao nodded and said, "I know." ”
"That's good!" After patting his brother's shoulder, Tian Hu took the lead in walking out of the hall.
In the entire huge lobby, only Tian Biao was left sitting on a chair, and he kept pondering the whole thing in his mind. This is his personal habit, but whenever something difficult to decide happens, he will always be alone, and then think about the whole thing from the beginning as a spectator to see what will be missed.
After a long while, Tian Biao opened his eyes and muttered to himself: "Seemingly unbelievable facts are often hidden under the most impossible appearance! If you want to say that there are more suspicious people, there are more than a few outsiders who suddenly appeared, Jiang Zhen, Jiang Jiaoxi, could it be that you are also involved in this matter......
