Dugu Nan warmly welcomed several distinguished guests who had come from afar. Tea was already set, and he said, "Uncle Nalan, a rough calculation shows that we haven't seen each other for ten years!"
"My dear, I haven't seen you for ten years. I didn't expect you to be so mature and experienced now. Yes, Dugu Xiao finally has a good successor!"
Nalan Zhengde said.
He is not the head of the Nalan family, but the head's younger brother. However, he is also very famous in the Nalan family, and Dugu Nan does not dare to neglect him in the slightest.
"My father is discussing important matters with his subordinates. I'm afraid it will take a while before he can come over. Uncle Nalan, I wonder what you think of the construction of our Dugu City?"
"It's getting more and more prosperous. Ten years ago, this place seemed to be unsatisfactory. Nalan Xiao is a genius and his control is very good. Moreover, I also saw that the law enforcement team seems to be here in name only. This is a good job!"
Nalan Zhengde said.
The two chatted for about ten minutes, and Dugu Xiao walked in from outside. He was so imposing that the tribesmen around Nalan Zhengde were slightly shocked.
Dugu Xiao said: "Why, the four major families are one family, are they even afraid of me?"
Nalan Zhengde said: "This is the first time for them to see you, so they will naturally be scared. Dugu Xiao, you should know why I am here this time!"
"Well, deal with the affairs of the dynasty!"
Dugu Xiao also said.
"The emperor has disappeared and the dynasty has been in chaos. If we don't seize this opportunity, we will be unable to turn over in our lifetime!"
"Zhengde, even if there is no emperor, the dynasty will not be so easy to deal with!"
Dugu Xiao said.
"With the combined efforts of our four major families, there is no way we can't deal with the imperial dynasty. There is probably only one problem before us!"
Nalan Zhengde said: "Who will lead the four major families? After the dynasty is solved, how will its territory be divided?"
"Um!"
Dugu Xiao nodded: "Zhengde, which family do you think is the strongest among the four major families?"
"In terms of strength, it's definitely the Dugu family!"
Nalan Zhengde said.
"In the Immortal Emperor's realm, strength has always been king. So, do you think our Dugu family should obey the orders of other families?"
Dugu Xiao said.
Nalan Zhengde's expression changed: "You mean, our three major families want to listen to your orders?"
"Humph, isn't this obvious? However, I, Dugu Xiao, have never been a selfish person. As long as the dynasty is eliminated and the territory is equally divided between us, I only need to be the head of the four major families!"
Dugu Xiao said.
Nalan Zhengde thought to himself: This old fox, after you get rid of the dynasty, you will be the head of the four major families. How is this different from your Dugu family ruling our other three major families?
Dugu Nan also said: "Uncle Nalan, to be honest, our Dugu family will do the most to deal with that dynasty, because we have resources that your other three major families cannot have!"
"What resources?"
"Internal response!"
Dugu Nan said confidently.
"It's impossible. The disciples in the dynasty are all loyal and extremely elite. We once wanted to cooperate with the inside and outside, but it was simply difficult to find anyone who was willing to be the inside of our Nalan family!"
Nalan Zhengde said.
"So, this is the biggest difference between our two families. Our Dugu family has always had leadership qualities!"
Dugu Nan said.
"How dare you, man, don't say such frivolous words in front of Uncle Nalan!"
Dugu Xiao shouted.
Dugu Nan nodded: "Yes, father!"
Nalan Zhengde didn't know what Dugu Xiao meant. He said, "Even if our Nalan family agrees, the other two families are still not sure about their ideas. Dugu Xiao, are you confident?"
"Does Zhengde mean confidence in dealing with the dynasty, or confidence in persuading them?"
Dugu Xiao asked.
Nalan Zhengde said: "Both!"
“Indeed it’s both!”
Dugu Xiao laughed loudly.
…
For several days, Xu Feng waited for news about Dugu Nan in the restaurant.
He did not disappoint Xu Feng. He told Xu Feng all the important points discussed by the Nalan family and the Dugu family, and asked Xu Feng to be his military advisor and guide him on what to do next.
Before leaving, Dugu Nan also said: "Brother Xu Feng, whenever I feel unhappy these days, I whip that beast Zhu Qi. I don't know how happy it is. My father also knows about this, and he asked me to
Don’t let Zhu Qi go just yet, let’s see what the imperial court’s reaction is!”
"Well, Zhu Qi's father is an elder in the dynasty. If nothing unexpected happens, they will not sit still and wait for death. The head of the Dugu family has a good idea. Let's see if the dynasty dares to go down the mountain to save people!"
Xu Feng said.
"Okay, brother Xu Feng, let's not talk about it for now. I have to go back and deal with the Nalan family!"
Dugu Nan said.
After he left, Ace came in quickly. She looked at Xu Feng and frowned, and said: "Isn't everything happening now what you expected? Logically speaking, you shouldn't be acting like this!"
"The Nalan family has agreed to make the Dugu family the head of the four major families. Although the ideas of the other two major families are still unclear, this is not a good signal!"
Xu Feng shook his head.
Ace said: "If the four major families unite, it will be even more difficult for us to reverse the situation. Even if Dugu Nan believes in you, Dugu Xiao is still in control of the overall situation!"
Xu Feng was silent.
This was the first time that Ace saw Xu Feng thinking about the problem so seriously. A trace of vague emotion flashed in her eyes. She shook her head, how could it be possible? How could I have feelings for him? It's impossible. Don't.
Think more!
After a while, Xu Feng said: "The breakthrough point is Zhu Qi!"
"Zhu Qi?"
"Well, the news that Zhu Qi has been captured will definitely be released, and the imperial court must send someone to rescue him!"
Xu Feng said.
"Why?"
"Tell me first why you have a blush on your face?"
Xu Feng said: "Have you finally fallen in love with me?"
"Are you looking for death?"
Ace said angrily that there was something wrong in her mind, but she didn't expect that she was just distracted for a moment and was caught in the eyes of the other party.
Xu Feng smiled and said: "Don't be angry, anyway, the alliance between the four major families will not succeed for the time being!"
"If you don't tell me, don't tell me. Do you think I can't figure it out?"
Ace shook his head.
…
Three days later.
The spies in Dugu City quickly rushed to Dugu Xiao's home.
"Master, something bad is going on!"
"What's going on? There's nothing Dugu Xiao is afraid of in this Dugu City!"
"People from the dynasty are coming to kill!"
"impossible!"
Dugu Xiao shouted: "Even if Zhu Qi is here, they shouldn't be so bold to come here so soon!"
Nalan Zhengde was also in the hall. He said, "Dugu Xiao, have you captured someone from the imperial dynasty?"
"That's right, Elder Zhu's son was captured by me and is now being imprisoned by me. Originally, I wanted to find out the attitude of the people in the imperial dynasty, but I didn't expect that as soon as the news got out, they were about to come and kill him!"
Dugu Xiao sighed.
Nalan Zhengde had a strange look on his face, but he didn't speak.
Bang bang bang!
The sound of energy explosions came one after another.
Dugu Xiao frowned: "The people from this dynasty are so bold. They broke into my Dugu family and even injured my Dugu family members. This account has to be settled!"
Whoosh!
They all flew out of the door.
Outside the door of Dugu's house, the guards were beaten to the ground, groaning in agony.
In front of them, stood an old man. This old man's feet were wrapped with strips of ivy, and his face looked a little fierce.
"Old Demon Bodhi, how dare you hurt my disciples? Don't you know where this place is? You know, when I went up the mountain, I didn't deal with your disciples!"
Dugu Xiao said angrily.
The old demon Bodhi sneered: "Even Nalan Zhengde is here. It seems that the contact between your two families is quite frequent. Zhengde, why do you look so scared on your face? I'm not here to kill you. I
I’m just here to take away the disciples from my dynasty!”
When Dugu Xiao saw that Old Demon Bodhi was ignoring him, he was about to take action, but Old Demon Bodhi said again: "Dugu, are you sure that I just came to your home alone?"
"Who else?"
Dugu Xiao shouted.
"No more nonsense, where is Zhu Qi?"
The old demon Bodhi said.
While he was speaking, the entire Dugu family's house was covered with strips of ivy, and the light was dazzling. Nalan Zhengde's eyes were a little uneasy: "Old Demon Bodhi, what do you mean, are you robbing people?"
"Huh, robbing someone? I'm here alone now. If Dugu doesn't hand over the person, all the elders will arrive in Dugu City!"
"What? Is Zhu Qi worthy of so many of you saving him?"
Dugu Xiao didn't believe it.
"Hmph, his father is Elder Zhu. No father is not worried about his son. Didn't you rush up the mountain to save your son that day?"
Old Demon Bodhi shouted.
Dugu Xiao secretly thought: How could this dynasty make such a big move? The tone of Old Demon Bodhi does not sound like a threat, but they clearly know that our four major families are about to join forces, so how dare they be so presumptuous? Is there any way they can resist it?
Do you live in our four major family alliance?
He looked at the fearless old demon Bodhi and said: "Zhu Qi, I will naturally let him go. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago. But, old demon, you dare to come to my Dugu family so arrogantly, don't you think so?"
Are you so confident that you can take Zhu Qi away?"
"Although the elders of your Dugu family are waiting for an opportunity to kill me, it doesn't matter. I am dead and I have received a good apprentice. But to be honest, our dynasty, which is the alliance of the four major families, really has not let go.
In my eyes, if you don’t believe it, you can go up the mountain and give it a try, but now I’m going to take Zhu Qi away!”
Old Demon Bodhi's eyes shone: "Dugu, you won't make it difficult for me, right?"
Nalan Zhengde looked ugly, but he still heard Dugu Xiao say in a deep voice: "Let him go!"
