Qin Feng seemed to have vaguely guessed something, his brows furrowed slightly, but he said nothing.
"Why? After all, you are the real head of the Nangong family." Nangong Yun was puzzled. She couldn't understand that her father, who had not detoxified two days ago, was in poor health, but there was still a feeling deep in his heart.
With unyielding fighting spirit and perseverance, now that he has recovered and is full of energy, why does he say such decadent words?
Nangong Shangyu lowered his head, his eyes happened to fall on the burnt end of the nine-yuan agarwood incense, he sighed slightly and said: "Yun'er, you should know that the sandalwood used in my incense burner,
They are all produced from the finest sandalwood incense from the Southern Red Region."
Nangong Yun was stunned and didn't understand why her father suddenly said such seemingly meaningless words. However, she had always been smart, so after thinking about it, she understood what her father meant.
"You mean...Uncle Liu, he also..." Nangong Yun showed an incredulous look.
Nangong Shangyu said: "The Nangong family's warehouse has always been managed by Elder Liu Hui and Liu. Without Elder Liu's permission, the sandalwood in the warehouse would not have been replaced with nine-yuan agarwood incense, and neither would the toxins in my body.
It's about to happen."
"How could this happen! Uncle Liu has always been loyal to the family, how could he do such a thing..." Even though the facts were before her, Nangong Yun still couldn't believe the facts.
Because Liu Hui is the most senior elder of the Nangong family. He has served two generations of Nangong family heads and has been loyal and respected for decades.
"If even Uncle Liu has taken refuge in Nangong Shengrong and even wants to kill his father, then wouldn't it be true that the other elders are even more..." Nangong Yun secretly clenched her fists in her sleeves and did not dare to think about it anymore.
Went down.
"It's just a different choice. It's extremely difficult for Liu Hui to persist from thirteen years ago to now." Nangong Shangyu shook his head and smiled bitterly. His smile was somewhat helpless, but he didn't have much hatred for Liu Hui.
Because he knew very well that Liu Hui's loyalty was for the Nangong family, not for him.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and keenly caught the word 'thirteen years', and thought of Yama Luo Ji Ming Powder, a strange poison that is very difficult to find in the mainland.
It stands to reason that such a rare and precious poison should not appear in the Royal City at all. However, such a rare thing happened to appear in the Royal City, and it appeared in a small family... This is really a bit strange.
Unbelievable.
To take a step back, even if such a strange object appears in the Daqian Kingdom, the person who knows how to use it should be a very knowledgeable and knowledgeable person. However, it seems that such a person does not exist in the small Nangong family.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are already too many things that should not exist in the Daqian Kingdom, and many strange things have happened, and most of them are related to something that happened thirteen years ago.
Thirteen years ago, Qin Feng's parents suddenly disappeared. However, the originally humble Lin family in the royal city married the daughter of the dean of Qianwu Academy and became one of the eight major families in the royal city.
Thirteen years ago, two seventh-level formations suddenly appeared in the Hidden Mist Mountain, and the legendary strongman Yi Tianxing of the Daqian Kingdom was brutally imprisoned.
Now Nangong Shangyu also mentioned thirteen years ago. It seems that some changes occurred in the Nangong family thirteen years ago?
What is the connection between these things?
This made Qin Feng vaguely feel that there seemed to be a huge black hand secretly planning...
Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, what happened thirteen years ago?"
Nangong Shangyu's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, and he said with a slight hesitation: "Thirteen years ago, many mysterious and powerful people came to Daqian Kingdom that even the royal family could not afford. After they arrived, it seemed that they wanted to force the royal family to find something. , or looking for someone, but our Nangong family has not been involved in that matter, so I don’t know much about it.”
Speaking of this, Nangong Shangyu paused slightly and said: "But I know that the royal family did not agree to the conditions of those powerful people, so they suffered some suppression. On the contrary, it was General Zhenyuan in the kingdom and the students from Qianwu Academy. The people were so ambitious that they sent countless soldiers and horses to search everywhere. The scope of the search almost covered the entire Daqian Kingdom. Innocent people in sixty-four large and small cities were either captured or died, and suffered an unreasonable disaster... "
"Later, those mysterious strong men who came seemed to have achieved their goals, so they were extremely happy to give many treasures to the general and Qianwu Academy, which caused some changes in the layout of the royal city. After another thirteen years of quiet evolution , the royal city today has been divided into two factions."
Hearing this, Qin Feng's heart suddenly tightened! His parents also disappeared thirteen years ago! Could it be that the people those mysterious strong men want to arrest are his parents?
This seems very possible. Qin Feng has always felt that his father's origin is very extraordinary. Let alone the Thunder Sword and many formations in the secret room. The dragon-shaped jade pendant that seals the true dragon's energy is extraordinary. thing.
So, is it possible that the purpose of those mysterious strong men is because of the dragon-shaped jade pendant? Or is there a huge hatred between those mysterious strong men and the Qin family?
If this speculation is true, many things can be explained. For example, Lin Xiaotian made a fortune after Qin Xiaochi disappeared, and even joined a powerful force like Qianwu Academy.
In Qin Feng's opinion, it is very likely that Lin Xiaotian discovered some secrets of Qin Xiaochi and provided some clues to those powerful mysterious experts, and was rewarded for this...
Of course, this is only Qin Feng's preliminary guess, but such a guess is undoubtedly very close to the truth. The specific answer requires him to have enough strength before he can conduct further investigation.
"Oh? Divided into two factions?" Although Qin Feng was stirred up in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.
"Well, the first faction is the faction that maintains the orthodoxy of the Daqian royal family, and can be divided into the 'royalist faction'."
"The other faction is the 'anti-royal faction' led by General Zhenyuan and the Qianwu Academy. They believe that the Daqian royal family is stuck in its own ways, has short-sightedness, and is unwilling to serve those who are strong, and will surely decline in the future." Nangong Shang. Yu explained.
Hearing this, Nangong Yun couldn't help but said: "That's nonsense. The Daqian royal family has always been diligent, caring and people-oriented. When the Daqian Kingdom was not established, this land was in chaos and ferocious beasts were raging. The people are in dire straits, and the Chen royal family even made the aspirational statement of 'Unless we suppress the ferocious beasts, we will never establish a country.'"
"Why are you complacent and short-sighted? In the final analysis, these are nothing more than the generals and the people from the Qianwu Academy. With the help of those treasures and resources, they have become more powerful and want to rebel. They follow the trend and arrest ordinary people in the kingdom at will. Is it reasonable for the common people to use this to please outsiders?"
Nangong Shangyu sighed and said: "Having said that, it is an indisputable fact that the anti-king faction has become stronger and stronger. In this world, the strong have always been respected. In recent years, there have been
Many families or forces have secretly defected to the Anti-King Faction, and any family that is willing to join has received a lot of benefits in recent years... But I have always been unwilling to join the Anti-King Faction. This is also the case for the elders of the Nangong family.
The reason why I started to support Nangong Shengrong."
Nangong Yun said in disbelief: "Are you saying that Nangong Shengrong and other elders support the Nangong family to join the anti-king faction?"
"That's true. In fact, as early as thirteen years ago, when those mysterious powerful men first came, our Nangong family also had the opportunity to seek some benefits from them, but I was unwilling to let the Nangong family become their minions, so I did not participate in that year's events.
During the brutal search...at that time, many elders had some opinions about me."
"In the following thirteen years, those families that had participated in the brutal manhunts have benefited a lot. For example, the Lin family has grown from an unknown family to one of the eight major families. For example, the Cheng family has been quietly growing in strength over the years.
, for example, the Qi family went from being the last of the eight major families to becoming the number one family in the royal city today..."
"These changes have made the elders of the Nangong family jealous. On the other hand, the Nangong family has gradually begun to decline, so they feel that my ideas are too pedantic and that serving the royal family is too stupid. Over the years, if it weren't for Elder Liu and a few other
Several elders support me, but I am afraid that a few years ago, I was no longer the head of the Nangong family."
"So I just said that it is very rare for Elder Liu to support me for thirteen years... He is indeed very loyal to the Nangong family, but he is loyal to the Nangong family, not to me personally. Maybe he feels very loyal now.
I was wrong for three years and hindered the development of the Nangong family, so now he supports Nangong's promotion and even kills me, which is understandable."
