At night, Xiao Qing returned to Nangong under the escort of the cavalry regiment. Before he could enter the city, he was caught by the family sent by the family, because he saw that the family was not easy to talk to, so he had to hurriedly pull Xiao Qing back to the Xiao family. For such a situation, the soldiers of the cavalry regiment naturally did not take it to heart, and it would be strange if their own city was taken by others.

After leaving the cavalry regiment, the Xiao family told Xiao Qing what had happened after he left Nangong, which scared Xiao Qing into a cold sweat and even forgot how to walk. In the end, if it weren't for the reminder of the Xiao family, I'm afraid Xiao Qing would have been stunned on the street for a few hours. When Xiao Qing left Nangong, Xiao Qing also deliberately explained to his most proud master that he wanted him to guard the city personally, so Xiao Qing left Nangong to go to the banquet. Such an arrangement will also allow Le'an Jun to succeed, and Xiao Qing thought of buying a piece of tofu and killing him.

Returning to the Xiao family's mansion as if he had lost his soul, the old lady of the Xiao family took hundreds of people from the Xiao family to sit in the front yard, seemingly waiting for Xiao Qing's return.

"The head of the family, Yuan Jie is guilty and voluntarily accepts all punishments." As soon as Xiao Qing stepped into the door, he saw this powerful lineup, thinking that they were here to ask him for guilt, so he took three steps forward and asked the old lady Xiao for his guilt. It's just that Xiao Qing's heart is really depressed, it can be said that the loss of Nangong City is not a festive fault at all, if Xiao Qing finds an excuse to stay in Nangong, Fan Xiwen will also look for a reason to come to the door, Nangong still has no strength to resist in the face of Le'an's three thousand elites. At that time, the Xiao family is afraid that it will be a problem for them to continue to exist.

"Yuan Jie, I don't blame you for this incident, if you want to blame Fan Xiwen, Xiao'er is too cunning. We are not gathered here today to ask the teacher for sin, but to think about how to let the Xiao family continue to survive, Fan Xiwen Xiao'er will not let us go so easily. Old lady Xiao deserves to be an old and refined character, and she saw the depression in Xiao Qing's eyes at a glance, and hurriedly comforted her. Now the Xiao family has reached a critical moment, Fan Xiwen is menacing, and the old lady Xiao doesn't want the Xiao family to become the next Li family. What is the result of Anping Li's family? The family was copied and not to mention, and was also charged with rebellion and punished the nine clans.

How similar is the Xiao family today to the Li family before, and the Xiao family is richer than the Li family, and this wealth will become the last life talisman of the Xiao family.

"Grandpa, you know that too? Today, before the banquet, the five of us joined hands to test Fan Xiwen's tone, but in exchange for his strong counterattack. I'm afraid that the five of us will become the first targets of Fan Xiwen's next move, this person has great ambitions, and he will definitely not allow Anping to have other forces. Xiao Qing listened to Mrs. Xiao's words, and immediately told the scene of himself uniting the other four county orders in Le'an County.

After listening to Xiao Qing's narration, Old Lady Xiao took a breath of cold air again and again.

It's just that the rest of the Xiao family didn't care much about Xiao Qing's words, and in their opinion, it was understandable for An Pingxiang to take over his own territory. They only know that they can still run rampant in Nangong City, in their opinion, the signboard of the Xiao family is enough to cover them, isn't there a good thing to say in the future? The county officials are not as good as the current management, and the power of the Xiao family in Nangong is definitely more effective than the county order. Some Xiao family members who were jealous of Xiao Qing's ability to become Nangong Ling even had fun in their hearts.

They haven't seen Le'anjun's treatment of the people, they haven't seen Le'anjun's treatment of those bullying bullies, they haven't seen Fan Xiwen's strength, they haven't seen Fan Xiwen's and Guo Jiajia's plans against Wang Jiaxiong, there are too many that they haven't seen, and it is only a matter of time before they die in the hands of Fan Xiwen.

A group of poor worms who only know how to eat and wait for death, after losing the protection of Xiao Qing, the county order, and when Fan Xiwen took over the entire territory of Anping strongly, their good days came to an end.

"In other words, Fan Xiwen is a child in the whole Anping, and all of us big families will become his targets?" Old lady Xiao didn't show surprise after listening to his grandson's words, obviously he had guessed that such a question was just a test for his grandson.

In the first year of Zhongping, Fan Xiwen led hundreds of young people to attack Le'an and fought a battle. Immediately afterwards, he invited Zhu Jun to Zhonglang and was awarded the post of Le'an Order. Later, Anping counties sent scouts to inquire about Le'an, but the result was that Fan Xiwen was just a little guy who had not even held a crown ceremony, and he only had 500 village warriors under him. As a result, the counties couldn't help but relax their vigilance against this rather small county order.

At the end of the first year of Zhongping, Fan Xiwen suddenly held a military parade, and the number of troops had reached 3,000.

In the second year of Zhongping, Fan Xiwen marched to Taihang Mountain, and soon expanded his troops to 10,000 people, and his power swelled dramatically.

In October of the second year of Zhongping, Zhang Niujiao raised 80,000 troops, but was wiped out by Fan Xiwen's 10,000 army, which established the prestige of the Le'an Army in Anping in one fell swoop. At this time, no one can shake Fan Xiwen's position in Anping.

All kinds of signs show that Fan Xiwen is not a fool, and Fan Xiwen also has a lot of ambitions. For Fan Xiwen's forbearance, Mrs. Xiao felt quite scared, a young man who didn't even add a crown gift has such wisdom, if he is allowed to grow up, then what kind of situation will it be? No one knows or dares to imagine, the only thing that can be said is that this son is definitely not a thing in the pool.

"Not bad." Xiao Qing nodded affirmatively.

"It seems that Fan Xiwen is still quite courageous, and he actually wants to do something to all the warriors in Anping, but I don't know who wins and who loses the struggle between them?" Old lady Xiao said to her grandson with a smile, and the people around her were confused.

"What does the head of the house mean?" Xiao Qing didn't continue, such a topic is already related to the development of the family, and the fewer people know, the less they know.

"Well, the bandits outside have been making a lot of trouble recently, so you have to go out less." Old lady Xiao said to a group of Xiao family members behind him who had more than enough success and more than failure, and when he got up, he suddenly said to Xiao Qing: "Yuan Jie, you come with me." ”

"Yes." Xiao Qing answered, and then followed Old Lady Xiao away, leaving the members of the Xiao family who looked at each other with a look of jealousy.

In the study, Mrs. Xiao sat behind the bookcase, Xiao Qing sat opposite Mrs. Xiao, and the two grandchildren sat quietly for a long time.

"Yuan Jie, maybe you will lose the position of Nangong Ling." In the end, Old Lady Xiao spoke, without any mood fluctuations in his tone, as if he was saying something insignificant.

"Hehe, grandpa, this question has already been thought of by grandson, Anping is now in the hands of Fan Xiwen, and no one can be allowed to interfere at all, even if the position of Nangong Ling continues to be held by grandson, I am afraid it will not be able to do well." Xiao Qing also seemed to be a nobody, his face was very calm. A person who can be pushed to the front by a big family to manage a county town, his ability will definitely not be bad for the city government.

"What the Xiao family has to do now is to recuperate and accumulate strength. Of course, some things will be dealt with, but they must be done in secret. "Old lady Xiao has three sons under his knees, the eldest son is Xiao Qing's father who died early, and the second and third sons are eyeing the position of the heir to the head of the family. Old lady Xiao is now seventy or eighty years old, and it will not be a few years before it will be time to cover the coffin board into the loess, and Old Lady Xiao knows that his two sons are the kind of ambitious and talented goods, and he is unwilling to let the Xiao family decline into the sinners of the Xiao family in the hands of one of them.

Therefore, Mrs. Xiao has always cultivated Xiao Qing, who has been smart since childhood, as the heir of the family, and Xiao Qing did not disappoint Mrs. Xiao, and managed Nangong in an orderly manner, and her ability was quite good. If it weren't for Fan Xiwen's strong agreement to Anping, Old Lady Xiao would have even been ready to hand over the Xiao family to Xiao Qing and go to enjoy Qingfu by himself.

"Grandpa is saying that he will use this bandit incident to eliminate some of the surrounding small warriors? Didn't this fuel Fan Xiwen's arrogance? Xiao Qing asked with some puzzlement, now at this time, Fan Xiwen is powerful, and it is difficult for the Xiao family to compete with it, and it is the best way to secretly unite some small scholars. And what Fan Xiwen has to do next is to clean Anping, and carry out large-scale suppression of those forces that do not obey him, he will definitely make a lot of enemies at this time. The more enemies Fan Xiwen has, the better it will be for the Xiao family, how can the Xiao family take action at this time to eliminate Fan Xiwen's enemies in the near future?

"It seems that Yuan Jie, you are still not mature enough, we really fueled Fan Xiwen's arrogance by doing this? Not necessarily. You think about it, you think about it in the long term. Old lady Xiao's head shook, and it seemed that she was not very satisfied with her grandson's answer.

After getting the direction indicated by his grandfather, Xiao Qing calmed down and pondered carefully for a while, but he didn't come up with a single one.

"Grandpa, my grandson is stupid, I really can't think of it." In the end, Xiao Qing had to shake his head and reply.

"Hey, that's it, you're still young, it's normal to not know this." Old Lady Xiao said with a little disappointment, and then stood up. "Yuan Jie, you can't focus on the present, you have to take a long-term view. Fan Xiwen belongs to a dominant family in Anping, but once he is out of Anping, he is nothing, which is why I want you to help Fan Xiwen eradicate a few unpleasant scholars. ”

"This, my grandson understands." Xiao Qing said with some sudden realization.

"Alright, you go out first." When Mrs. Xiao saw her grandson's expression, she knew that he really understood his words, and her face was also relieved.
