The castle master's words made everyone present take a breath of cold air.
Feng Jiu'er not only possessed peerless martial arts, but also had tens of thousands of troops. If she really wanted to destroy Nanman Fort, it would not be difficult.
There was silence in the palace for a while, and then the captain of the South Gate said in a low voice: "In this case, this matter is the Ninth Prince's idea, so it is almost impossible."
"It is clear at a glance which one is more important, subverting the Chao Gang or regaining our Black Canyon."
"It can't be Zhaojiazhai's idea."
The deputy castle master said softly.
"If Zhaojiazhai really wants to unify the entire Black Canyon, and the old boss is still alive, no outsider will take action on this matter."
"The deputy castle master is right."
The castle master nodded lightly, "So, the key still lies with Feng Jiu'er."
"Why did she come to Nanman Castle?"
His thick eyebrows furrowed, and the castle master let out a sigh.
"I should handle this matter personally. As long as there is no conflict between the two parties for the time being, it is best to maintain the status quo."
"Yes, Lord."
The man who just reported the situation to Feng Jiuer nodded.
The castle master glanced at everyone and waved his hand.
"The deputy fort master and the two elders stay, everyone else should go out."
"yes."
Everyone stood up and responded in unison.
In a blink of an eye, everyone who should leave turned around and left, leaving only a few people.
...Feng Jiu'er, Jian Yi and Qiao Mu returned to their brothers' camp at Nanman Fort and had a bite of hot rice and stew.
After dinner, the three of them left Nanman Fort and met up with Zhao Yusheng, Xing Zizhou and Xiaoying Tao.
After making sure that nothing special happened, Feng Jiuer took some clothes and returned to Nanman Castle with Qiao Mu and Jianyi.
As soon as the three of them returned to the grotto prepared by the castle master for them today, they were greeted by a slave.
"Hello, Miss Feng!"
Xiao Nu’s blessings.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing this man, Feng Jiuer felt that nothing good could happen.
After a long day, there is nothing better than taking a hot bath and going to bed.
Thinking of this, Feng Jiuer immediately said: "Go and prepare the bath water. I want to wash myself. Thank you."
Without giving Xiao Nu a chance to speak, she turned around and strode into the grotto.
Xiaonu raised his eyes and took a look, then he could only lean down and say: "Yes, Miss Feng."
The bath water was changed bucket after bucket, and once the swords were washed, Qiao Mu and Feng Jiuer both lay down on the bed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Feng Jiuer rolled her eyes and stood up.
When she walked out of the inner room, Jianyi, who had just been washed, appeared in front of her.
"You can refuse, but you don't have to go."
Jianyi said softly.
"No matter what, you can't refuse."
Feng Jiuer sighed lightly and walked out.
She had known for a long time that the castle owner would not let her go easily. For convenience, she even put on her clothes before getting into bed.
Qiao Mu came out of the inner room and rubbed his eyes: "Jianyi, what's wrong?"
Jian Yi ignored it, turned around, and followed Feng Jiuer's footsteps.
The knock on the door continued, and Feng Jiuer went over directly and opened the door.
"What's the matter?"
"Miss Feng."
Xiaonu felt blessed and raised his eyes to look at Feng Jiuer.
"What's wrong with you?"
Feng Jiuer stared at the bruises on her face and frowned slightly.
"fine."
Xiaonu immediately lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Miss Feng, for your concern!"
"Miss Feng, the castle master said he would like to invite you over for a gathering. He has prepared fine wine and delicacies. Do you think it is convenient for you to go there now?"
Feng Jiuer was reluctant to do so, but now it is convenient even if it is inconvenient.
This castle owner's temper is really bad. She can't control him when he beats his people. If he doesn't get over, he won't have to rest tonight if he attacks her people.
"Let's go, let's go now."
Feng Jiuer shook her black hair and walked towards the main hall.
"Yes, Miss Feng, please!"
The little slave suddenly felt a lot more happy, lowered his head, and walked ahead to lead the way.
Jian Yi and Qiao Mu followed suit.
Following Xiaonu and Feng Jiuer, the three of them walked into the main hall, then turned a corner and walked into a side hall.
The castle owner was sitting on the main seat, thinking alone, and there was a table full of delicacies on the table in front of him.
Not only was there a table at the main seat, but also on both sides. The tables were all equally delicious.
"Miss Feng, you are finally here."
The castle owner raised his eyes and glanced at Feng Jiu'er, put the wine bottle on the bottle and stood up.
"Why don't you go and replace everything?"
He glared at the little slave and snorted coldly, "Is it possible to let Miss Feng eat cold food?"
"yes."
The little slave nodded.
Several slaves outside heard this and hurried in.
The good food was quickly removed and the table was left clean.
"Miss Feng, please sit down!"
The castle master looked at Feng Jiuer and waved his hand.
Feng Jiuer walked to the side, followed by Qiao Mu and Jianyi.
"Miss Qiao, your place is over here, please!"
The castle owner looked at Qiao Mu, smiled and waved his hand.
Tonight, Feng Jiuer and Qiao Mu both changed their clothes.
Qiao Mu has always preferred smart outfits, and tonight was no exception. The smart outfits were a little less feminine, but they better highlighted Qiao Mu's good figure.
Feng Jiuer changed out of her night clothes and wore a white plain dress. She was fresh and refined, but it could not hide her noble temperament.
Qiao Mu glanced at Feng Jiuer, then turned around and walked to the table on the other side.
Jian Yi still followed Feng Jiu'er and stayed by her side.
In a blink of an eye, the little slave who went out came in again.
In the short time it took to burn the incense, all the delicacies on the table were changed.
The meat and vegetables were still steaming, and the pastries and fruits were arranged neatly and meticulously.
The castle master waved his hand, and except for the slave who was pouring tea for Feng Jiuer, everyone else returned to the palace, blessed themselves together, and left.
"Fortmaster, what are you..." Feng Jiuer looked at the fortmaster and asked softly.
The castle owner picked up the cup in front of him and raised it to Feng Jiuer and Qiao Mu.
"It's rare for distinguished guests to come here. Everyone was in a hurry today and couldn't get together properly, so I asked someone to prepare a table of dishes."
"Miss Feng and Miss Qiao, this is also the first time for us to come to our door. Of course we can't be rude."
Feng Jiuer really wanted to complain, but seeing that the dignified master of the castle had been waiting here for so long, she couldn't refuse.
This man must have been unaware of their purpose and was unwilling to do so, but how could she announce to the world that she would come in to hunt for treasures on her own?
"Fortmaster, you are too polite!"
When she held the tea cup, she poked the silver needle in her hand into the tea.
The same goes for Qiao Mu. After being by Feng Jiuer's side for so long, she has no shortage of small things like silver needles.
Feng Jiuer hid the silver needle and raised the cup.
Qiao Mu ignored the castle master and followed Feng Jiuer in raising the tea cup.
"Fortmaster, thank you for your hospitality!"
Feng Jiuer raised the cup to the castle master.
The castle owner laughed loudly, and after raising his glass to Feng Jiuer again, he did not forget to glance at Qiao Mu.
"Miss Feng, Miss Qiao, please!"
The three of them raised their glasses together and drank it all.
