Chapter 1297 Zi Dinghou's guess
Rhea Fu is finished.
When an unknown guard from the Grand Duke's Palace came to Nanhuang Planet and personally presented Duke Ruiya's head to King Nan, everyone understood this.
He said that he took advantage of Duke Rhea's unpreparedness and poisoned his wine to kill him, but no one paid attention to these details.
Nan Yanhe only wanted a result, and those princes only saw the vast territory of the Ruiya Fu clan.
Once the dragon head dies, the remaining jackals, tigers and leopards will surely swarm to eat it.
So in just one month, Ruifu Star, which was originally indestructible, fell.
The splendid Grand Duke's Palace lost its glamorous appearance, and for a moment it appeared infinitely desolate and desolate. The robbers almost scratched off the crystal powder on the palace's murals, and even knocked off the floor tiles one by one and took them away.
People with the status of Tianshang Gong naturally disdain it, but for those not very wealthy Fang Bo, when big shots eat meat, all they can do is get a piece of the leftovers, and they can even take advantage of the fact that no one is there.
At that time, I sat on the throne of Duke Rhea and lived a high-ranking Duke's addiction.
In the owner-less Duke Rhea's mansion, greedy and ugly scenes of the world were played out all day long.
Tianshang Gong, who had planned for a long time, became the biggest winner. He swept away the frustration and decadence since the exchange meeting, seized more than a dozen stars with overwhelming force, and expanded the boundary of his territory by a full fifty stars.
This distance is equivalent to the distance from the edge of chaos to Luotian Beidou.
Although Tianshang Gong later discovered to his dismay that the resources he grabbed were not as rich as expected, at least far from being worthy of the Fu family's thousands of years of heritage, but no matter what, he was currently in the limelight in the southern region.
It seems that he has surpassed Hai Minggong as the head of the Grand Duke.
So these days, countless princes and uncles came to attach themselves to Tianshang Gong, and they almost crossed the threshold of Tianshang Gong's mansion. The voices that originally mocked Shang Tianyu at the exchange meeting disappeared, and became all exaggerated.
This directly led to the Shang prince to retreat into seclusion and refuse guests.
Of course, the fastest movers were the big chambers of commerce. As soon as they heard about what happened on the Ancestor Worship Day, they immediately sent the invitations to Lord Tianshang’s house. At that time, Lord Ruiya was still sitting upright.
In the Grand Duke's Mansion, they have already clearly calculated the future distribution of interests in the southern territory.
It was not until the frenzy of partition cooled down that everyone suddenly remembered a force they had almost forgotten - Western Union.
So many people couldn't help but gloat about the misfortune. The chamber of commerce in the north (in their eyes, Western Union is a chamber of commerce) really couldn't figure out the muddy waters in the south. It was the first to go to discuss cooperation with Duke Ruiya, offending the three previous ones.
The grand duke didn't say anything, but in the blink of an eye, duke Ruiya collapsed. Isn't this an embarrassing situation now?
However, the Western Union mission was unaware of it and turned to Nanhuang Star.
Three days later, the royal family officially announced the establishment of a cooperative relationship with Western Union, and invited all large and small chambers of commerce in the southern region to come to Nanhuang Star to participate in cooperation matters. The royal family will serve as the introducer and occupy a certain share of the profits.
In the eyes of many people, this is another undoubted move by Western Union.
Whose thigh is bad to hug? I have to hug the royal family? Don’t look at the fact that the royal family issued an order to kill thieves before and wiped out the Ruiya Fu family in an instant, as if they were really the boss of the southern border. However, during the whole process, the troops were deployed
They are all princes, and the royal family is just waiting for it to be ready.
The royal family is still weak. This is an unchangeable fact. The occasional sharp edges are just a reflection of the glory. The princes unanimously believe that killing Duke Ruiya is enough to satisfy the ambition of the good-for-nothing Nan Wang. They will wait until Yu Chen dies.
, that guy with no ambitions may only dare to huddle in his own palace, eat, drink and have fun all his life.
And children trained by such waste can only be little waste, and can just dream about making a comeback.
Therefore, everyone was dissatisfied with Western Union's choice.
Although some princes had hidden concerns and felt that Nan Yanhe's behavior was a little abnormal, these people were not the majority after all. Even Lord Tianshang was in high spirits and did not regard the royal family as a threat from the beginning to the end.
Among the few knowledgeable people, Zi Dinghou is considered to be one with a keener sense of smell.
Thoroughly penetrate the Purple Star, and the Purple Dinghou Mansion.
"Caiwei, do you know why I suddenly called you here?"
In the study room filled with the scent of ink, Zi Dinghou finished writing the last few words, with a faint smile on his face, and turned to look at his eldest daughter.
"It's either related to the royal family, it's related to Western Union, or it's just the same thing." Xue Caiwei held up the rice paper and gently blew the ink dry, winking playfully.
"Hey, how many times have I told you, you can't brag about this." Zi Dinghou rubbed her head helplessly and lovingly.
"Hey, how many times have I told you, you can't touch your head, you won't grow taller!" Xue Caiwei immediately knocked off her father's hand and rolled her eyes at him angrily.
"Wake up, you are already twenty, do you think you can still grow taller?" Zi Dinghou teased unceremoniously.
"Why not! I just bought the secret book of warriors in the North. It is said that you can grow a few more centimeters if you reach the peak of strong muscles! One meter seven, one meter seven, I must grow to one meter seven!" Xue Caiwei said with great air.
"If you have time to practice those heresies, why not study the formations carefully? Don't think about growing taller. Think about when to get married seriously." Zi Dinghou knocked on her forehead.
Xue Caiwei glanced sideways at her father, grabbed the middle of the rice paper and said, "If you say it again, I'll tear it up!"
Zi Dinghou took a breath as if he had a toothache: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business. You guessed right just now, it's about the royal family and Western Union."
"Is there a reward for guessing correctly?" Xue Caiwei said with a smile.
"Yes, I will give you a chance to travel to Nanhuang Star at public expense."
"Dad, have you thought about it? So easily, so hastily?" Xue Caiwei roughly guessed the implication of Zi Dinghou's words, and couldn't help being surprised.
"Nonsense, this is dad's decision after careful consideration!" Zi Dinghou said angrily: "The matter of Duke Ruiya is too deep, at least it is far more than what it seems. Those princes stand too high, and there are too many things in their field of vision.
The blind spots are not as clear as mine."
"Narcissistic." Xue Caiwei curled her lips: "Others say that Western Union is always making mistakes. Do you have another opinion?"
"No, if you think about this matter carefully, there is a lot worth pondering."
Zi Dinghou stroked his long beard and said with deep eyes: "The first thing I noticed were a few details. For example... the Western Union mission went to Nanhuang Star first, and I don't know what they talked about with the royal family, and then they
They went to Ruifu Planet, but within the same day, they were assassinated, and several of Duke Ruiya's men defected. The defectors also kidnapped Duke Ruiya's bastard Fu Ping, causing an uproar throughout the southern border. This matter
Don’t you think it’s a coincidence?”
"What if it's really a coincidence?"
"The chance is too small. I asked President Zhu and President Le. They have already gone to Nanhuang Star to contact the Western Alliance mission. They found that the people in Western Alliance are not as ignorant as imagined. They know the pattern of the Southern Territory very well, and their personalities
They are very shrewd, as the two presidents have been negotiating with the deputy leader named Nilabe for several days, but they have not taken any advantage, which can be seen from this."
"So what dad is saying is that it was strange that Western Union chose to visit Ruifu Planet first and angered the first three Grand Dukes?"
"Yes, they must have anticipated the consequences, but they still did such a puzzling thing. And if they hadn't gone to Ruifu Planet and attracted Duke Ruiya's attention, Fu Ping wouldn't have been so
Easily kidnapped. This incident... seems like a coincidence at first glance, but after thinking about my father for a long time, I feel more and more that this is an interlocking game. Western Union went to Ruifu Star just to deal with Ruifu.
Just like Yagong."
"But daddy, your conjecture is based on one premise, that is, Western Union is a staunch ally of the royal family, but why would they choose the royal family? If they are really shrewd businessmen, this makes no sense."
"This is my only confusion, but the feedback given to me by the two presidents is that the relationship between Western Union and the royal family is very close. They secretly observed that neither Cai Ye, Yu Chen, nor His Majesty the Southern King, have any regard for Nilabe
Very warm and familiar, like a long-time friend."
"Okay, assuming all your conjectures are true, dad, but just because Western Union is on the side of the royal family, are we going to surrender? Isn't it worth the risk?"
"I'm not surrendering, I'm asking you to test him out. Remember to bring Feng Ren with you. I always feel that this kid has been sneaky and restless lately." Zi Dinghou snorted.
"He has been like that since he went to the border battlefield. Dad, you haven't seen it. This little fat guy is usually as timid as a mouse, but he turned out to be brave at the border. Several times, if I hadn't been by his side, he might have really
To die in the void battlefield, maybe I didn’t know him well enough before, so I mistakenly thought he was timid.”
Xue Caiwei paused, then spread his hands and said: "But it's really strange. He has earned tens of thousands of military merits, but he is still miserable every day when he comes back. I don't know what's wrong with him."
"This kid has his own secret, otherwise there would be no reason for him to have such a smooth journey on the spiritual path. This is no longer something that talent can explain. I used to be able to turn a blind eye, but now at this critical moment, you
But you have to keep a close eye on him." Zi Dinghou said seriously.
"No problem!" Xue Caiwei agreed readily, and then looked a little lonely: "Speaking of Aren, I think of Wen Wei again. Is he... really dead? Shang Zhenyu and the others are still fine. Wen Wei
Isn’t it even more unreasonable for me to die?”
Hou Ziding sighed leisurely: "I don't know, this young man... really can't see through his father. Don't worry about him. Just pack up and go to Nanhuang Star." (To be continued.)
