Let's say that at the same time that Fang Yan fell into the Fang family's study, a secret order from afar flowed into Luohua City, and secretly entered the Fang family from the dark saucer.

In the main hall, a group of family veteran-level figures gathered in a room, talking to each other and whispering. Today's patriarch Fang Hong sits on the main throne, Fang Hong is over forty years old, in the prime of life, and has developed an oppressive momentum after reigning for many years. Sitting on the side was his son Fang Yu, after Fang Yan was taken up the mountain, Fang Yu began to often follow his father to participate in this kind of family affairs, and this arrangement of seats was very clever, so that Fang Yu was higher than others, the purpose was obvious.

Fang Hong narrowed his eyes and glanced down coldly, the originally noisy main hall suddenly fell silent, and only then did Fang Hong speak: "I just received the secret order, the group of troops that the Xu family has recently moved in is probably a group of people from the Jiuyou Prefecture and the Nine Shadows Kingdom, what does this mean, I don't need to say anything more." ”

The old men frowned, and one of them said hoarsely: "Could it be that Jiuyou still wants to meddle in our own affairs in Luohua City?" Now that they are provoking Wuzhou and taking care of themselves, they have to transfer troops to Luohua City to put pressure on us?"

After the battle of the Song family, the Xu and Chen families completely gained power, and they became the two most powerful families in Luohua City.

The others nodded one after another, and Fang Hong snorted coldly, "On the surface, this army is a personal soldier brought over by a clansman from the Xu family who has returned from a long trip, but you and I know the reason for this, and the most important thing now is that if they really want to tear their faces with the Chen family, will our Fang family become the next one?!"

Everyone was silent, if the Xu family really formed an alliance with Jiuyou, then they could suppress all the families, including the Chen family, in an instant, and everyone would be in danger at that time, and they would not be like the Feng and Zang families who could leave at any time, and they didn't know where to hide. Someone whispered, "Or...... Try to turn to those mountain gods?"

Fang Hong frowned, "Those mountain people, the Flower Bone Sect has closed the mountain, and the other sects have their own opinions, which one to find?"

One person said boldly: "I heard that the Golden Sword Sect is selecting a new mansion Dongtian to develop as a sub-sect to settle down, and now it is pressed by the Six Battle Gates and lacks resources, if we give them a helping hand at this time, wouldn't it be possible to make friends with them in the snow?"

Fang Hong pondered for a moment, "This method is not impossible, I guess other families have also thought of it, but the Six Battle Gates are too powerful now, if you offend the Six Battle Gates, I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Everyone discussed for a moment, Fang Hong glanced at Fang Yu, who was wearing a gorgeous costume and doing nothing on the side, and sighed secretly in his heart. He has taught Fang Yu everywhere, and even asked him to sit in on family proceedings, but Fang Yu is still the unenlightened gentleman, and as the old saying goes, mud can't support the wall.

However, he didn't expect Fang Yu to be more capable, now it was more suitable for him to control, but every time he thought of this, Fang Hong couldn't help but think of his other "son", for Fang Yu, whether it was his heart and talent, it was an insurmountable mountain.

At the end, Fang Hong said: "In a few days, it will be my father's death day, do things quickly in the past few days, don't make another incident." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and soon dispersed, Fang Hong sighed, a little depressed, today's Luohua City is completely different from a few years ago, the martial arts under the mountain, the qi practitioners on the mountain, there are many contacts like a cow's hair, like a bronze mirror, in the past, the people in Luohua City could only have one side inside, but now that the mirror is broken, the outside world is revealed.

And what caused these was Song Tian's shot that day, as well as the present life of Luohua City, Fang Hong resolutely pushed the Song family to a low point for the sake of family interests, and now that he thinks about it, the initiator of today's situation has nothing to do with himself?

......

At the same time, Fang Yan gently pushed open the door of the study room, slightly stunned.

What fell into his eyes were still the layers of books, these poems he had read and written were not thrown away, but were left in the room, and they were neatly arranged, and the warm sunlight shone over the boy's head, shining on some of the scattered scrolls, and the room was very clean, apparently often cleaned.

In the corner of the room, a girl dressed like a maid was squatting on the ground, holding a book and reading quietly, probably too involved to hear Fang Yan pushing the door. Fang Yan smiled knowingly, walked over slowly, and didn't speak, just standing silently behind the girl.

After a long time, the girl stretched her waist, only to realize that there was someone behind her, after seeing the person clearly, the girl showed an unbelievable expression, the hand covered her mouth, her body shook, Fang Yan hurriedly supported her, the girl grabbed the young man's cuffs, tears flashed in her eyes, and she lost her voice: "Young master, is it really you, young master!"

Fang Yan touched the girl's head and said with a smile: "It's not me, who else can it be?" It's been a long time, Xiao Cui. ”

Xiao Cui's tears burst down the embankment instantly, and she confided in Fang Yan intermittently, Fang Yan gently patted the girl's back, and patiently listened to Xiao Cui talk about what happened after she left. After a long time, Xiao Cui finally stopped crying, but she still grabbed Fang Yan's cuffs, as if she would leave as soon as she let go of Fang Yan.

Fang Yan could hear from Xiaocui's scattered words that she was not doing well, and the Fang family announced that she was going out to study after her disappearance, broke the marriage contract with the Song family, and even fell into the ground, pushing Song Tian off the position of the city lord.

As for Xiao Cui, she worked hard to keep this study, and for this reason, she was not less exposed to the eyes of those young ladies and maids, and she was harassed by Fang Yu twice in three days, and she gritted her teeth and endured it.

"Okay, okay, didn't I come back safe and sound?" Fang Yan smiled, and asked with a sinking face, "Say, who beat you?!"

Xiao Cui's left side of her face was red and swollen, obviously someone had beaten her, and there were traces of bandaging on the left corner of her mouth, Xiao Cui was a little panicked, and quickly said, "Back to the young master, it's not ...... It's okay!"

Fang Yan sighed, touched Xiaocui's head and said, "Remember what I said, you are my maid, whoever dares to bully you just won't give me face, if you don't say it, why should I ask for my face?"

Fang Yan was easy to say and persuade, and it took a long time for Xiao Cui to slowly tell the truth. It turned out that a young handsome man from the Xu family came to Fang's house to hang out, and saw the poems that Fang Yan had collected in the study, and he wanted to take them for himself when he was happy.

Fang Yan asked again, and learned that it was a child of the Xu family, who was idle on weekdays, but also acted domineeringly, often causing trouble, and forced to death a woman from a good family in Nancheng some time ago, this matter was suppressed by the Xu family, and this person stopped for a while. It was because this wicked young master was quite friendly with Fang Yu that the Xu family paid attention to one or two.

As she spoke, Xiao Cui secretly looked at Fang Yan, she hadn't seen her for a few years, her young master seemed to be much stronger than before, the young man's immaturity was already very blurred, I heard the young master say, did you stay in the sect on that mountain for a few years, with the immortals? She couldn't help but ask: "Young master, are you doing well on that mountain?"

Hua Weijian stepped forward, bent down and smiled: "Xiaocui, do you remember me?"

Xiao Cui stared blankly at the flowers, and finally remembered after a while: "Are you, Miss Haven't Seen?"

Hua Weijian nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I've been staying with your young master all these years, it's very good!"

Xiao Cui thought hard about it, then laughed and said, "I believe Miss." ”

Fang Yan laughed, glanced at the study, and asked, "You cleaned this?"

Xiao Cui nodded vigorously, "The front door is now locked because of what happened before, and the slave maid came in from the back door of the Fang family, I don't know when the young master will come back, so the slave maid cleans it every day!"

"I'm sorry for you," Fang Yan looked at Xiao Cuiqiao's face, "With the young master here, I will never let you suffer again in the future." ”

Xiao Cui's eyes turned red again, and she hummed heavily.

Several people talked for a long time, and only left at sunset, Fang Yan told Xiaocui the address of the inn where he was staying, and said that if there was trouble, he would come to him, and Xiaocui kept it in mind.

When he went back, Hua Weijian glanced at Fang Yan, and asked, "Do you want to do something?"

Fang Yan smiled: "I seem to like to do things?"

Then he replied to himself: "Don't say it, it's really like!"

Hua Weijian frowned, "Listening to the shopkeeper, there are a lot of soldiers from the Xu family, and I'm afraid there are martial artists from Yamashita inside." Xiaocui was humiliated, and the Fang family didn't say anything, it seems that they are ready to sacrifice a little slave to make friends with the Xu family, if we come a few days late, I'm afraid it won't be ......."

Fang Yan snorted, and said after a while: "I haven't seen the girl, I'm ......"

Hua Weijian stopped, stared at Fang Yan, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Fang Yan was stunned and said with a smile: "I haven't said anything yet." ”

Hua Wei said twice: "You must want us to go first, don't you go to the door by yourself?" Tell you, there is no door, how can Xiaocui say that she also helped me back then, if you swallow this breath, how can this girl still mix the rivers and lakes!"

Fang Yan laughed, okay, it's really a heroine!
