Chapter 13 The Xiao family’s strength has skyrocketed
"Yaoye, what do you think of this?"
From Yaoye's point of view, Jia Xingtian's questions were more like a test.
Therefore, she did not answer immediately. Instead, she thought for a while and then said cautiously: "I think Lin Ning's purpose of killing the spies was most likely to cover up a secret."
"This secret should be very important, so important that Lin Ning feels that as long as the secret is leaked, their Lin family will suffer disaster."
"Only in this way will she take action to cut off all sources of information, and she will not hesitate to offend the majesty of our royal family to do so."
Speaking of this, Yao Ye's tone became obviously colder. She snorted coldly and then said: "But no matter what, she shouldn't kill our people."
"Lin Ning was just a little mercenary in the past. If your great grandfather hadn't recruited her into the royal family and given her martial arts elixirs, how could she have broken through the fighting spirit? I'm afraid she would have died in the Warcraft Mountains long ago.
."
The more Yao Ye thought about it, the angrier she became, and her words became more fierce: "I didn't expect that after so many years, this woman not only ignored your kindness, but actually killed the royal family's spies, which can be considered a traitor!" p>
"Rebellion? That's not a big deal."
Jia Xingtian shook his head, looked at the angry great-great-granddaughter, and said with a smile: "My great-great-grandfather knows Lin Ning a little bit. Maybe it's because of her experience as a mercenary that her character is a bit decisive.
But she is also loyal and repays kindness, and she is not a white-eyed wolf."
"But she killed our people!"
The way of not being angry in the night.
"No, a secret agent has no identity."
Jia Xingtian said slowly: "Yao Ye, you are still too young. Let me ask you, what is the identity of our royal family's spies who infiltrated the city lord's mansion? Did they go there under the banner of our royal family?" p>
"Of course it's impossible."
Yaoye shook his head subconsciously and said: "The secret agent naturally sneaked in as a mercenary or a poor person through the city lord's mansion to recruit guards and waiters."
"That's right. Since they are just some guards and waiters who betrayed the city lord's palace, and their identities are unknown, then what's wrong with Lin Ning killing them?"
Jia Xingtian's tone was as calm as water: "Perhaps, Lin Ning didn't know at all that among the spies she killed, there were members of the royal family."
The conversation changed, and Jia Xingtian then said in an incomprehensible tone: "Besides, even if she deliberately killed the royal spy, we are at fault."
"Although it has been a common practice for many years to place spies in the palaces of city lords at all levels under the empire. However, this kind of thing is not very open and honest. It can only be done in secret, and it cannot be used as an excuse to convict Lin Ning.
”
"It makes sense."
Nodding thoughtfully, Yao Ye frowned slightly and said still somewhat puzzled: "But Grandpa, if you let Lin Ning go so easily, wouldn't that mean that you will undermine the majesty of our royal family?" "Dignity comes from strength, not from punishing a few people."
Jia Xingtian looked at Yao Ye and said earnestly: "As long as our Jia Ma royal family still has Dou Huang, few people in the entire empire will dare to act rashly. The strong are the source of majesty!"
Speaking of this, Jia Xingtian sighed again: "If one day, Grandpa's time comes, and the royal family cannot bring out other powerful warriors, then the majesty will really be lost, and the country will be devastated.
”
"Grandpa, you..."
Yao Ye was about to say some words of comfort, but was interrupted by Jiaxing Tian with a wave of his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You happened to be here tonight, and Grandpa has something that needs you to do."
"You tell me, I'll do it right away."
Yao Ye nodded decisively, and then asked hesitantly: "Grandpa, then Lin Ning..."
"Just keep letting people monitor her. If she is fine, everyone will be happy. If there is any secret, it will be revealed sooner or later. Be patient."
Jiaxingtian replied calmly.
"Okay."
Seeing that Jia Xingtian had made a decision, Yaoye stopped talking and asked, "I wonder what you, Grandpa, were planning to give you just now?"
"I want you to find out what happened to the Xiao family in Wutan City in the past few years!"
Jia Xingtian said it straightforwardly.
"Utan City... Xiao family?"
Yaoye was immediately confused, what kind of family was this? Is it famous?
Seeing the confusion on his great-great-granddaughter's face, Jia Xingtian reminded: "It's the Xiao family that moved away from the imperial capital many years ago. Their family has a marriage contract with the Nalan family. Do you remember it?"
"Well, I remembered, it's Dou Wang Xiao Lin's family!"
Yao Ye instantly recalled the Xiao family that was considered a hegemon in the imperial capital when she was a child.
It's a pity that Xiao Lin, the only fighting king of the Xiao family, died from serious injuries in a fierce battle with his enemy.
The backbone of the Xiao family has also been lost, and only a few great fighting masters are left, leading the clan members and leaving the imperial capital.
She didn't expect that the Xiao family could run far enough.
He actually traveled thousands of miles from the Holy City of Gama to Wutan City in the eastern part of the empire.
How afraid are you of being liquidated by the enemy?
But, why did grandpa suddenly mention this declining family?
Could it be that the Xiao family's salted fish has turned over?
Looking at Yao Ye's expression, Jia Xingtian instantly understood what she was thinking, and nodded, saying: "You are right, in recent years, the overall strength of the Xiao family has suddenly increased dramatically.
There are no less than five people who are strong at the Dou Ling level alone."
"There is even news that Xiao Shan, the eldest elder of the Xiao family, has broken through to the realm of Dou Wang, but it is just kept secret."
"The key is that this all happened in a very short period of time. Just three years ago, the strongest person in the Xiao family was just a great fighting master below five stars."
Hearing these words, Yaoye's expression instantly became serious.
The rise of the Xiao family is indeed terrifying!
In three years, five fighting spirits and one fighting king were created!
Give them another three years, will they be able to produce five fighting kings?
You know, even if they are as powerful as the imperial family, they only have three fighting kings accumulated over the years!
If the Xiao family can continue to grow the family strength at such an outrageous speed.
It won't be long before the imperial family may change their surnames.
This is not alarmist!
Because hundreds of years ago, when the empire last changed power, the Gama royal family at that time happened to be a giant family in the previous empire.
Therefore, the royal family has always been secretly wary of the big families in the country, especially the Xiao family whose strength has grown at such an outrageous rate!
Yao Ye, who knew the stakes well, immediately expressed his stance: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll have someone go check it out right away."
"In addition, I plan to deploy another Guards Corps, just like the Yunlan Sect, and station them near Wutan City. What do you think?"
