As the confidant of the family head, An Ran still knows a little bit about some things: this incident has exposed a very big loophole in the An family. If you are lucky enough to fix this loophole, it will naturally be regarded as a small mistake, but a trivial matter that makes people laugh.
But if it cannot be replenished, not only will all the expected benefits be lost, but it will even cause a loss of family luck.
Luck is the foundation for the An family's ancestors to survive, and the ancestors who can directly contact the heaven are the foundation for the family's existence.
Without their existence and relying only on Wu Jin, it would not be a noble family, but like the Bai family, which could only rely on the strength of one person to survive. It is impossible for such a family to exist for tens of thousands of years.
When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. Even if he goes to heaven, it will be the same and he will have nothing to do with the mortal world.
Hill looked at Fat An, whose eyelids were drooped and his eyes rolled slightly, and he judged that his nervousness was not low at all.
The An family seems to be very concerned about trade with Faerûn, and urgently needs to establish a foothold there. Is there anything the Shoulong Empire needs that can only be purchased from Faerûn?
So serious that once it is banned from sale, it will even affect the entire empire.
Aglaia City is right next to Waterdeep City. It is too easy to do this. Anjia, who has already determined Hill's identity, is so cautious about him.
Then their goal should be to make achievements and even integrate more into the national destiny of the Shoulong Empire.
The carriage stopped gently.
An Ran stood up suddenly. He, who had always been slow in his movements, suddenly became much more flexible.
At least, it's definitely not the kind that gets stuck in the middle of a box.
Hill curled his lips and sneered. This fat man was really a very typical oriental businessman. He was really good at pretending to be stupid.
But Hill could also feel how much An Ran distrusted the guards guarding the Lin family. This was quite normal. In an aristocratic family, if there were motivated people, there would also be people who were dawdling.
If the An family didn't lock up the people they already caught this time, their face would probably be completely shattered.
Hill actually doesn't care about this little thing.
Although he didn't know what An Ran was thinking about, he could feel that An Ran was very worried about losing him as a trading partner, fearing that he would give up continuing to cooperate with the An family because of this matter.
Perhaps in Enron's mind, Hill attached great importance to ocean trade, so he personally came to Menglong to find partners.
But Hill was just unlucky once, it wasn't like... he offended some small-minded goddess and was involved in the turbulence of time and space.
Making money was never his goal.
He must come to Lin's house to take a look. It has nothing to do with anything An Ran thinks about. He just wants to remember the aura of these people.
That is the flavor engraved on the law. To put it bluntly, it is the cause and effect that the Dragon Shou people often say.
As long as Hill remembers that the next time someone related to them appears in front of him again, he will be able to recognize them immediately, and then he will naturally find the real culprit behind using him as a raft.
He thought for a moment and gave An Ran a few minutes before Shi Shiran stepped out of the carriage.
Hill looked at the high wall in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Is this a family home?
What appeared in front of Hill was not a big house like the one he lived in, but an obvious Wubao. If the outer wall were replaced in Faerûn, it could already be regarded as the wall of some ordinary cities, with a length of more than five meters.
It is high, and there are tall sentry towers on all four corners of the city wall.
However, the place where the guard should have stood is now empty.
It seems that the An family has taken control of the fortress quietly.
And it seemed that there was no fierce battle at all. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hill not to feel the bloody atmosphere. The Lin family was captured with almost no resistance.
Hill was probably the result of the action of the An family witches, and the level of the witches who took action was not low, and the number of them was definitely large. It seemed that the patriarch of the An family wanted to use the lives of the Lin family to save the face and money he had lost.
As for the Lin family, they must be an ordinary family without the power of their ancestors to protect them, and they are unable to guard against Wu Jin's mysterious methods.
Not every family has the ability to worship their ancestors. In particular, some common people and even Han people have no idea whether there are any sages among their ancestors.
Hill controlled the urge to look back. He was sure that he was still in Renhe City, but the Wubao in front of him did smell like crops, and there were definitely a lot of acres of farmland.
If there were no witches and warriors to attack, the Lin family would be completely self-sufficient and would not have to worry about running out of ammunition and food.
Probably every larger family here in Shoulong has this style. No wonder this city is so big and it takes so long to travel even at such a fast speed as Hill's carriage.
Is this a family-oriented Shoulong?
Hill felt that he had only now seen the real Shoulong Empire.
An Ran quickly returned to Hill, bringing with him a knight in full armor.
His armor was exquisite in style, and the entire body was made of fine interlaced metal scales in the shape of a mountain. Hill controlled his urge to observe carefully. He really didn't expect to see Shan Wen, one of the Thirteen Armors, in another world.
First.
Hill was in a trance for a moment, and felt that it was quite normal. With the refining capabilities of this world, making it exquisite and uniform is no longer a troublesome thing for craftsmen. On the contrary, Shanwen armor saves materials than other armors, and is more comfortable and breathable. The most important thing is
, the movements can be made more relaxed and neat, which is more suitable for Dragon Shou people who like to use skills rather than brute force.
"Mr. Bolaño, please allow me to introduce you to Captain An Pengfei, Commander of Light Vehicles." An Ran said with a smile on his face, "Pengfei is the strongest knight of our An family. He is usually in the army. This time is rare.
It happened that he went home to visit relatives.
With him here, the defense here is absolutely foolproof."
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Bolaño, because Anjia's mistake has brought unhappiness to your pleasant trip." An Pengfei said calmly, "I hope Anjia can make up for this mistake in the future."
Hill nodded: "I just hope we can understand each other better. Some things can only be solved by waiting for time."
Whether it is an official position or a military position, Shoulong has a nine-level system. This may be because the founding of Shoulong was the unification of nine kingdoms. From the lowest nine to the highest one, it proves that Shoulong's great unification is
It was formed by inheriting the destiny.
An Yanfei's position as Administrative Officer of Yingbin Island was introduced there. Hill remembered that it was the sixth rank.
There are six lightning patterns on his robe, but they are silver, while An Pengfei's armor has four golden lines.
A fourth-grade military attache?
It is indeed a position that makes the An family proud, but what does it have to do with Hill?
No matter what they want to do, Hill just wants to find his enemy.
He didn't say anything more, just looked at An Ran and raised his chin: "Did you catch that Lin Yi?"
"No..." An Ran said weakly.
"Lin Jiezhi didn't come home. I asked people to check carefully. When the accident happened, he ran away without informing anyone at home. Although Governor Bai closed the city gate, it was probably too late.
However, no one knows if he will want to see the big show he designed with his own eyes, so he is now being searched throughout the city.
The Lin family, except for a few people who were not at home, have all been arrested. The Bai family tried to take them away for interrogation, but I stopped them." An Pengfei stood aside and answered.
He had no complaints about Hill's neglect of him.
As the eldest son of the An family, An Pengfei did not join the An family's most powerful navy. Instead, he became a charge knight and joined the Black Cavalry Army. The ostracism he received can be said to be countless.
Not only did he survive, but he finally became a fourth-grade general. He couldn't be a young and energetic person who couldn't stand a little grievance.
Not to mention that the identity and ability of this archmage are enough to make him despise anyone. An Pengfei doesn't think that he, a level 28 knight, has any qualifications to let this high man take a look.
He just came here to get acquainted, and wanted to see how the mages in Faerûn could track his enemies.
An Pengfei is not as simple as An Ran thought. This person must come to the Lin family to have a look in person. He must have some special magic to find someone.
What if... what opportunities would it bring to him?
"Preliminary interrogation results show that the Lin family seems to be people sent by the Tulong Kingdom." An Pengfei chose his words carefully.
"Looks like?" Hill reacted as expected.
"The people over at Tulong...can't be that stoic." An Pengfei walked in front to lead the way. As long as he talked about business, the great mage would still pay attention to him, and that was fine.
An Ran was at the end, following Hill's entourage of knights, trying to chat with them.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him.
Hill thought about An Pengfei's wording: perseverance.
Japanese?
Although known as the Japanese Empire, their living environment has always been cruel, with frequent typhoons and earthquakes, and many active volcanoes.
As far as Hill knows, the era of large-scale wars in the Japanese Empire has just ended, and the entire country is still full of political atmosphere of conspiracy, conspiracy and counter-conspiracy.
And there is a Sakura Empire watching eagerly next to her.
Hill was a little confused. If the Japanese Empire occupied the Sakura Empire, it would turn its attention to the Shoulong Empire. It would be in line with the thinking of the people there. But now, even the neighbors who have been enemies for many years have not been killed.
Have you started laying out plans on the mainland?
"Although Haidong Province looks prosperous, it is the seaside." An Pengfei said lightly, "The southern border with the Tulong Kingdom is different, with corpses and bones everywhere.
Although the war is currently in a state of truce, no one knows when the war will start again. The Black Cavalry Army I am in is preparing for this war.
The Shoulong Empire used to be the overlord of the Karatu continent, but over the past few hundred years, all attention has been attracted by the Tulong Kingdom.
Other neighbors took a lot of breathing space.
Just like the Japanese Empire, if it were in the past, how could their gangster crime hall be connected with the Zhentarim in Faerûn."
Hill showed a polite smile: Are you an ally of Zhentarim? It seems that you can understand why he would come to trouble him!
