Set fire, blow up the mountain, and erase all traces. This is what Feng Qi has to do. At least whether the news will spread after blowing up the mountain and who it will be sent to, this is not what Feng Qi needs to worry about.
When a fire burns a mountain, everything will be burned away, including traces of gunpowder. He is not worried at all about what the man will find.
As for the gold mines in the mountains?
By this time it had all been buried underground, and there was not much gold left, so it was not worth spending manpower and material resources to dig out.
Leaving a group of people to guard outside the mountain to prevent outsiders from sneaking in, Feng Qi left with Xiao Jiuan's Yanbei Army.
The Yanbei Army had a large number of people, so they could not run around and could only return to the Yanbei Army camp. As for the imperial troops sent by the emperor, they had been "escorted" back to the capital by the Yanbei Army.
As for whether the Imperial Guards will be punished after returning to the capital, that has nothing to do with them. They did not take the opportunity to kill people and throw them into the fire. They had already given the emperor face.
It was already midnight when Feng Qi sent the Yanbei army to the camp. After successfully delivering the troops and horses to Xiao Shaorong who was waiting in the camp, Feng Qi wanted to retreat, but was stopped by Xiao Shaorong: "Master Feng Qi, I think we have
We need to talk."
"Talk?" Feng Qi hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement after seeing Xiao Shaorong's serious face.
The young master of the Xiao family, they can indeed talk.
Although Xiao Shaorong received education from an aristocratic family since he was a child, he has been in the military since he became an adult. It is inevitable that he has acquired some military style. Whether he speaks or does things, he is decisive and direct, and rarely makes detours.
As soon as Xiao Shaorong opened his mouth, he showed that everyone should put aside the aristocratic ways and say what they have to say directly. Feng Qi did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
Although she is a noble child of an aristocratic family, she did not receive the education of an aristocratic family. She does not act or speak like a child of an aristocratic family, hiding her love and keeping things under wraps.
To be honest, he doesn't like the etiquette of the aristocratic family that much, it's too tiring.
"Your brother Feng Ning, what do you think of him?" Xiao Shaorong was indeed direct enough, and he asked a question that was not easy to answer.
Feng Qi didn't hide it, and directly expressed his evaluation: "Restless, ambitious, and capable."
"The Wang family wants to marry their legitimate daughter into the Xiao family. I heard that the girl has a good relationship with your brother, and she has been taken care of by your brother when she was a child." The situation of the legitimate daughter of the Wang family is similar to that of Feng Qi. Both mothers died in childbirth.
The stepfather married a stepwife, which displeased his father and had almost no status in the family.
But luckily for the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, she was just a girl. Only her mother died in childbirth. Her grandparents were fine, and the relationship between her parents was not deep. They couldn't bear to see her.
Send her outside to be raised.
"Feng, Qi, Xiao, and Wang, in addition to the direct descendants of the Qi family, all have daughters from the Wang family. You should ask the Wang family what they want to do." Feng Qi checked what happened back then. He didn't believe in God's will, let alone coincidence.
He always felt that the death of his mother, maternal grandparents, and grandparents was not simple, but more than 20 years had passed since the incident, and many traces had disappeared.
Moreover, he could only investigate this matter privately and not let anyone know about it, otherwise others would think that he was afraid of being blamed for killing his mother, grandparents, and grandparents, so he tried his best to find excuses.
"The head of the Wang family is more than capable of defending the city, but not aggressive enough. The Feng family has tried their best to recruit them over the years, but they have only been able to survive until now." Xiao Shaorong is not optimistic about the Wang family, nor does he think the Wang family has that ambition. On the contrary, he is more afraid of Feng Ning.
"I found out that your younger brother has close contacts with the eldest prince Beichen. Do you know what he is going to do?" It is not a good thing for a legitimate son of a noble family to have close contacts with the prince of an enemy country.
Feng Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention." He knew a little bit about Feng Ning's interactions with Beichen Tianque, but he didn't know exactly how deep their friendship was.
After all, Feng Ning is not stupid. He has a good mind and a good means. He has enough ability to conceal his dealings with Beichen Tianque. Xiao Shaorong was able to find out, probably thanks to Xiao Jiu'an.
"I, the Xiao family, will never marry that legitimate daughter of the Wang family. If you can, please tell me so that the Wang family will not bother you anymore." When Feng Qi said this, he was undoubtedly telling the Feng family and the Wang family.
, the relationship between Xiao Shaorong, the young master of the Xiao family, and Feng Qi is unusual.
In aristocratic families, it is very strict to make friends with whom according to your status. Just like Feng Ning, no matter how favored he is, the young masters of the Qi family and the young masters of the Xiao family will not include him in their circles, because
His identity is not enough.
Most of the children of the aristocratic families gathered around Feng Ning, except for the young master of the Wang family, have no inheritance rights, no matter how talented and capable they are.
There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in a family. The family has always adhered to this point. It will decide on the heir early and train it with all its strength. It will never let the family get into a struggle for power. Unless the heir is useless, he will never inherit the heir easily.
As for the other disciples in the clan, the family will not leave them alone. They will teach them in accordance with their aptitude and let them become the help of the family head.
There is no lone wolf in a pack. The reason why aristocratic families have been able to stand for thousands of years is because of the unity of the aristocratic families, the careful education of their children, and the clear definition of rights and responsibilities within the aristocratic families. However, these are not static.
People's ambitions are uncontrollable, and even small indoctrination is useless. Therefore, even the heir will be under pressure.
After all, the children next to you are so much better than you, so much better than you. Even the old people in the clan will have the idea of changing their heirs.
In aristocratic families, everything is based on family interests, and personal interests can be sacrificed at any time.
The Feng family has an outstanding Feng Ning, and the Xiao family also has outstanding disciples. The position of Feng Qi's successor cannot be determined. Although Xiao Shaorong has determined the position of successor, it does not mean that his position will always be stable, especially in the
After he got closer to Xiao Jiuan.
Xiao Shaorong took the initiative to approach Feng Qi this time as a gesture of goodwill, and after a simple meeting, the two got to know each other initially.
Although it is impossible for them to become friends and help each other now, who knows what will happen in the future. After all, one more friend is better than many enemies.
When the two of them finished chatting, it was not far from dawn, so Xiao Shaorong simply left Feng Qi to sleep in the army overnight and return to the capital tomorrow.
Although Feng Qi is a noble man, he looks like a child carefully cultivated by a famous family. He has never suffered at all, but God knows he has suffered all kinds of hardships. The environment in the camp is extremely simple, but Feng Qi does not dislike it at all. It is natural.
, Xiao Shaorong secretly admired him.
You know, when he first arrived at the military camp, he hated everything here so much that he even asked his servants to bring him his usual quilt from home. If the bed hadn't been difficult to bring, he would have taken the one he liked.
Bring a bed.
There is no way, he has been pampered since he was little, and uses the best in everything. Even the princes and princesses in the palace may not necessarily use better things than he does.
Coming to the army all of a sudden, he was really uncomfortable with everything. Not to mention the bed and quilt, he couldn't even stand the smell in the air, but it would be better if he stayed for a few more years.
Now let alone sleeping in a tent in the army, even if he sleeps on the grass in the open air, he will not frown... (To be continued)
