In the hall of Han Mansion, brothers Han Feng and Han Lei met. The two brothers had a cordial exchange.

Today, Han Lei's appearance has become much more mature, and his cultivation level has reached Chen level seven stars.

Also coming with him was a young woman with fair skin, round pearls, gold and silver, luxurious attire, and a slightly bulging belly.

The two of them visited Han Feng and Zhou Yunmei together. The young woman's salute was rather perfunctory, and there was an air of pride between her brows.

Han Lei took the initiative to introduce to Han Feng: "Brother, this is my wife Fang Wan."

When Han Feng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "You kid, you didn't even notify me, my brother, when you got married."

Zhou Yunmei on the side whispered: "I originally planned to wait for you to come back before consummating the wedding, but my brother and sister are pregnant and cannot wait long, so I made the decision to consummate the marriage for them."

Han Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but give Han Lei a thumbs up secretly, and quietly said: "Boy, it's okay, eat first, and pay later."

When Han Lei heard this, his face turned red and he scratched his head in embarrassment.

Han Feng looked at Fang Wan again, smiled and said, "I don't know where my siblings are from, or where they are the daughter of a wealthy family."

When Fang Wan heard this, she raised her head lightly and said somewhat proudly: "My father, Fang Ziqing, is currently the governor of Yumen County!"

"Fang Ziqing?"

When Han Feng heard this, he was slightly startled and felt that the name was somewhat familiar.

Zhou Yunmei whispered a few words to the side, and Han Feng remembered this person.

There is some connection between Fang Ziqing and Han Feng.

During the Beast Tide Rebellion in Beiyang Pass, two important figures, the Crown Prince and King Ying, came to Beiyang Pass, and the governor of Fang County also came with his troops.

At that time, Han Feng had frequent exchanges with the Crown Prince and Prince Ying.

Governor Fang saw this and felt that Han Feng had an extraordinary background and would surely rise to prominence in the future.

So he tried his best to get closer to Han Feng and became brothers with Han Feng. It was also this person who awarded Han Feng the official position of Qianhu.

But since leaving Beiyang Pass, Han Feng has rarely returned to Bailong County, and has never been to Yumen County. He has never interacted with the county governor again.

Han Feng almost forgot about this person, but he didn't expect that the other person's daughter would actually marry his younger brother.

Zhou Yunmei on the side quietly told Han Feng that since the incident at Beiyang Pass, although the two families had not had much contact, they would still send people to give gifts during holidays.

But just a few months ago, Governor Fang suddenly came to visit the Han family in person, bringing his daughter with him. Not only did he give him heavy gifts, but he also stayed at the Han family for a few days.

It was during those few days that the two young men and women, Han Lei and Fang Wan, fell in love with each other, and that led to their current union.

After learning all this, Han Feng suddenly realized.

A few months ago, it was almost the time when I participated in the Inner Sea Trial and won the top spot.

Fang Ziqing came at that time and not only brought generous gifts, but also brought his own daughter with him. The purpose of his visit was obvious.

The other party clearly wanted to curry favor with him, and his tactics were very cunning. Instead of flattering him, he directly attacked his brother.

Although they are somewhat disgusted with each other's behavior, Fang Wan and Han Lei are already married and pregnant, so it can be said that it is a done deal.

Han Feng could only smile bitterly in his heart and asked seriously: "Brother and sister, I wonder if your father is well."

Fang Wan replied calmly: "My father is in good health. He wrote a letter the day before yesterday to inform him that he has made outstanding political achievements during his tenure and is now expected to be promoted to the third rank of provincial chief envoy. He only needs to wait for the new governor to take office, sign and seal, and then he can take office!"

Although Fang Wan's expression was very indifferent, there was still a trace of irrepressible pride in her eyebrows.

When she said this, she also took the initiative to say to Han Feng: "Brother, when you return to Xichuan this time, do you want to develop in the remaining province?

If this is the case, you can ask my father to take care of you and ask him to find an official position for you in the Governor's Mansion. After all, I have married into the Han family, and we are all one family."

As soon as these words came out, Han Feng and Zhou Yunmei were slightly stunned, and everyone in the hall also looked at each other.

Han Lei frowned and said: "Madam, my eldest brother is at the top of the Inner Sea Trial. Now he is an official in the imperial capital. My father-in-law may not be able to take care of him."

Fang Wan curled her lips slightly and said: "I heard that my eldest brother is now in the imperial capital. He only serves as a Hanlin bachelor, a fifth-grade official, and does not have any real power. He cannot be compared with a local official like a county governor.

What's more, my father is about to be promoted to the "Chief Envoy" of the Governor's Mansion, a high official who can talk to the Governor.

Although the eldest brother has extraordinary talents, his relationship is weak after all, and the eldest sister-in-law comes from a merchant family and cannot pave the way for the eldest brother.

Our family has the current power, and the two families are considered in-laws. Based on this relationship, it is appropriate for me to support my eldest brother."

As soon as this statement came out, many people in the hall frowned.

If Fang Wan's words just now were just a little arrogant, these words were a bit domineering. Not only did they have a hint of charity, but they even belittled Zhou Yunmei's background.

Han Lei couldn't help but look sulky.

"Madam, please don't be rude and quickly apologize to your eldest brother and sister-in-law!"

Fang Wan was obviously used to being a rich young lady and did not accept Han Lei's behavior at all. Instead, she glared at him and said, "Did I say something wrong? I am helping your Han family. Why are you scolding me in turn?"

!”

Han Lei wanted to say something more, but Han Feng raised his hand to stop him.

"Hey, don't let the family be harmed. My brothers and sisters also have good intentions."

Han Feng said, looking at the daughter of the Fang family again, sighing secretly in his heart.

This Miss Fang has a good image and temperament, barely worthy of her younger brother, but with this brain... She doesn't seem to have any idea why she married into the Han family.

Fang Wanwen, who was on the side, heard what Han Feng said and said that Han Feng was changing his direction to please her. She felt secretly proud and turned around to take a seat.

When I turned around, I happened to hear the sound of footsteps coming from outside the hall.

I saw a group of guards with bright armor and extraordinary momentum walking towards the hall of Han Mansion.

The first person, wearing red armor, has a graceful figure, a heroic appearance, and an aura of majesty, but she is a female general.

When Fang Wan saw the other party, her eyes showed surprise, and she couldn't help blurting out: "Commander Linglong, why are you here!"

As the daughter of a county guard, Fang Wan had accompanied Fang Ziqing to the Governor's Mansion not long ago, and had seen Commander Ling Long in the Governor's Mansion.

The other party and his father have been together since the Qing Dynasty. Although they both hold the fourth-rank official position, Ling Long is one of the four commanders of the Governor's Mansion. He is in charge of the most elite army of the Governor's Mansion. It is said that he has a close relationship with the previous Governor Zhang Dingnan.

Even his father was polite and respectful when he saw the commander. Fang Wan didn't dare to be disrespectful. While making a sound in surprise, he hurriedly saluted Linglong.

However, Ling Long led the guards without even looking at Fang Wan. He walked straight into the hall and knelt down to worship Han Feng with the accompanying guards.

"For your information, Your Majesty the Governor, we have stationed our troops outside the city and put them on guard.

In addition, my subordinates received a summons, and the governors and county guards of the seven prefectures and twenty-three counties of Xichuan Province learned that the governor had arrived in Bailong County and came specially to greet him, and they are all on their way now."

Hearing this, Han Feng nodded, and then ordered: "I understand.

You send a message to the various governors and county governors not to come to Bailong County, but to perform their duties first. After I take office at the Governor's Mansion in two days, I will order to summon them."

"yes!"

Linglong stood up after receiving the order and directly ordered several messengers to go down and deliver the order.

She respectfully stood behind Han Feng and took on the role of guard herself, while the other senior guards of the Governor's Mansion all retreated to stand guard outside the hall.

…

The scene before their eyes was played out in front of Fang Wan and Han Lei, both of whom had shocked and dull eyes.

"Big...brother, you..."

Han Lei was astonished and somewhat incoherent. The great elder Han Yunshan on the side explained to him with a happy face: "Haha... The head of the family, the Supreme Elder, has now been named the Governor of Xichuan Province by His Majesty, and was given the title of Earl of Bailong County."

"What!"

"Governor of Xichuan Province, Earl of Bailong County!"

When Han Lei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed a look of ecstasy and excitement.

When Fang Wan on the side heard this, her eyes widened, she felt a little dizzy and lacked oxygen, and she was almost unsteady on her feet.

When she was supported by a servant, she stabilized her figure and looked at the young figure on the front seat again.

Fang Wan recalled the showoff she had just shown in front of the other party, and her face suddenly became hot, shocked, and embarrassed.

Isn't it a big joke to ask his father, an envoy who has not yet taken office, to take care of the new governor of Xichuan Province?

The other party had just arrived in Bailong County, and all the officials and county guards in the entire Xichuan Province came to greet him, but the other party waved his hand and ordered him to retreat.

Compared with such overwhelming power, the Fang family's influence in Xichuan Province is almost negligible.

…

So a moment later, such a scene appeared in the hall of Han Mansion.

Miss Fang, who was very arrogant just now, is now in the hall, calling her "brother" and "sister-in-law", which is called "kind and obedient".

Not only did Miss Fang's tone of voice be respectful, but her attitude toward Han Lei became as gentle as water, making her like a well-educated and sensible lady.

…

That night, the Han Mansion held a family banquet. No one else in the city was invited. Only the Zhou and Han families gathered together.

Now that the crisis in Bailong County has been resolved, and Han Feng has risen to prominence and become a high official in the border areas, the atmosphere of the banquet was naturally extremely jubilant, and the party ended late at night.

At night, Zhou Dafu and his wife, Mrs. Liu, led the Zhou clan back to the front of the Zhou Mansion. Han Feng invited the two of them to the backyard and took a pill that was as clear as crystal and exuded pure spiritual energy, and drank it for Mr. Liu on the spot.

This elixir is the ancient mysterious elixir "Heart-melting elixir" refined by Wang Jingui, the master of the elixir pavilion of Tiannan College.
