As he muttered this, Fang Ze's brain began to spin rapidly, thinking about what important matters these nobles would have to deal with him.
After thinking for a moment, he could only think of two things.
One is that these nobles are concerned about the federal quota that he, or Miaomiao, holds.
From the purchase of a two-sided fan, we can see that the privileges enjoyed by nobles in the Federation are actually very valuable. Many luxuries or important resources are not sold by the Federation to the outside world. Only families and powerful families with quotas can purchase them.
And now that each noble family has developed for so many years, the quota has probably been divided within the family, or has been realized in cooperation with other forces.
Then the amount of money in the hands of Fang Ze, a nobleman who returned to the Federation and was the only nobleman in the family, became something that many people were interested in and coveted.
After all, after redeeming it, it can be resold for several times the profit.
And these quotas are not just the purchase qualifications, but also include, for example, 1 billion in supplies per year and a private escort of 1,000 people.
Even if a certain family has pursuits and is not interested in accumulating wealth, Fang Ze's legal guard quota and annual material quota of 1 billion are very tempting. Once obtained, the family's strength can be greatly increased.
.
The second is Fang Ze's recently exposed special ability that can break through the protection of demigods.
Although Fang Ze used the black shadow as a shield, the black shadow is also a member of the Si family and obeys Fang Ze's orders. So the nobles came to see him because of this matter and wanted to find out the news; they wanted to bribe Fang Ze and used this ability; and
Or you may be dissatisfied with this ability and want to eliminate it. It is possible.
And these two possibilities, no matter which one they are, seem to be bad...
In addition, these nobles were obviously invited to different dinner parties. Which one to go to, which one not to go to, which one to offend and which one not to offend are all a headache.
Therefore, no wonder Heiyu called Fang Ze in such a hurry.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze also came to his senses. He calmly said to Heiyu, "Okay. I understand. I'll go back now." After saying that, he hung up the phone, took the documents, and turned around to leave.
office.
...
Because of the special transmission technology of the State Security Bureau, Fang Ze returned home very quickly. It only took him five minutes to return to Sijia Manor.
However, as soon as he returned to the manor, Fang Ze found that the manor was tight outside. Although there were still two or three guards patrolling outside, the atmosphere inside the manor was tense. More than 400 veterans had gathered, and each one looked like
He stood on the school field like a javelin, with a mighty momentum.
Black Bull, on the other hand, had a dark face and was patrolling in front of the team while lecturing, as if giving a speech before setting off for the expedition.
When Fang Ze saw this scene, his eyelids jumped. Then he picked up the communicator and called Kuroyu.
When the call was connected, Fang Zecai said in a deep voice, "What are you doing? Are you gathering the escort to kill those nobles, or do you want to bloodbath the parliament?"
"Do you know that the demigod-level military base in Cedar State is still parked above the state capital?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Heiyu on the other side of the phone was a little helpless. She said, "Young Master, when those nobles came just now, they deliberately demonstrated and annoyed the general."
"The general said that young master, you have been wandering outside for more than ten years, and you were bullied when you just returned to the family. As a veteran, he can't even dare to fart. So, he assembled the escort team."
"But he doesn't really want to have a conflict with the other party, but he wants to escort you there to build up his momentum."
Hearing Heiyu's words, although Fang Ze understood Hei Niu's approach, he still shook his head and said, "Let people disperse."
"It's still unclear what the other party's purpose is. Your actions have no meaning other than intensifying conflicts. And... face is gained by strength, not by the number of people and the momentum."
"Even if our family has tens of thousands of fusion levels, it can't be compared to having a demigod to suppress someone else's luck."
Hearing Fang Ze's words and thinking about the root cause of the Si family's genocide, Heiyu couldn't help but fell silent. She said "hmm" and then hung up the communication.
After a moment, Fang Ze saw Hei Yu flying over from inside the manor, landing on the ground, and whispering a few words to Hei Niu.
Hearing Kuroyu's whisper, Hei Niu was obviously a little angry. He argued with Kuro Yu for a few words. Finally, after Kuro Yu moved out of Fangze, he angrily dismissed the assembled escort team, staring angrily with a pair of bull's eyes.
's gone.
Seeing this scene, Fang Ze stopped watching. He walked directly back to the villa where he lived, intending to find out what was going on with these seven noble families.
After returning to the villa, invitations from the nobles were already placed on the table in the villa hall.
Fang Ze picked up the dozen invitations and counted them. There were seven in total. The seven invitations were all pressed with gold foil, with gorgeous patterns printed on them, which looked like decorations or the crests of different noble families.
Fang Ze opened the seven invitations in turn and looked at them. They were all noble families from the Eastern Jurisdiction Region. Two were from Yunlan Prefecture, one was from Tangzhou, one was from Tuoye Prefecture, and three were from the Eastern Jurisdiction Region.
The district directly belongs to the state.
Coupled with the fact that Xidazhou has been paying attention to Fang Ze's Bai family and Jiang family, it can be said that Fang Ze has now attracted the attention of more than half of the noble families in the eastern jurisdiction.
Since he did not have information about these noble families, Fang Ze, after reading the invitations, dialed a message to Bai Zhi who was far away in Emerald City and asked about the affairs of these noble families.
The communication was connected, and Bai Zhi was signing documents. Her expression returned to her previous state of despair. It was obvious that her work made her very unhappy...
But now that she had another chance to fish, she immediately put her work aside without hesitation and started calling Fang Ze.
After listening carefully to what Fang Ze said about the situation, Bai Zhi put away her playful spirit and couldn't help but look a little serious.
She pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "Fang Ze, these seven noble families are not weak in strength, and the demigods of Dinghai Shenzhen are still alive. They have a certain influence in their respective states and in the jurisdiction of the region.
"
"If we have to compare, then the Zeng family, Sima family in Yunlan Prefecture and the Jia family in Tangzhou are weaker than the other four families."
Speaking of this, she briefly explained, "The comprehensive strength of Yunlan Prefecture ranks in the middle of the entire eastern jurisdiction, neither above nor below. And the strength of the Zeng family and the Sima family are also equally divided. This has led to them having to contain each other over the years.
, and have never been able to get golden development opportunities.”
"The Jia family in Tangzhou is slightly different from them. Among the seven states in the jurisdiction, Tangzhou ranks second in comprehensive strength, second only to the directly affiliated states. However, Tangzhou has another family that is in the ascendant: the Li family.
"
"Tangzhou was a real feudal monarchy before the establishment of the Federation. The Li family was the royal family of Tangzhou at that time, and the entire Tangzhou was their family's private property. Later, when the country was withdrawn and divided into states, the Li family's power remained unabated and they firmly controlled the entire state.
The power of Tangzhou is that it has the strongest overall strength among the 13 noble families in the region. Even the federation has difficulty in effectively penetrating into it. It can only be eroded slowly and gradually."
"And the Jia family... was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty at the beginning. They were vassals of the Li family. Later, after the establishment of the Federation, they did not stand up. They were suppressed by the Li family. This caused the overall strength of their family to be biased.
If we are weak, we can only continue to seek outward development.”
After explaining these three families, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown, and she said, "As for the remaining four families, I suggest you not to offend any of them. It is best to have a good communication with them."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze couldn't help but ask, "Why? They are very strong?"
Bai Zhi nodded first, then shook his head, "They are not strong, but... special."
"Special?" Fang Ze really didn't expect this word to be used for nobles.
Bai Zhi said "hmm" and then said, "Let's talk about the three families directly under the state first. The strength of those three families is actually pretty good, but... they only rank around five or six among the 13 noble families."
"But... the relationship between the three of them as demigods is very good. They were brothers who worshiped each other back then. After becoming demigods, their abilities complement each other, so the three of them are in the same spirit, and they will do everything together, no matter what difficulties they have.
We also carry it together. It is completely different from the noble families in other states."
"It is precisely for this reason that when they competed for the states directly under the jurisdiction of the region, their state stood out and was selected by the federation. This also allowed them to be first-come-first-served. Many family members served as vassals in the region. Further,
Let them have greater influence in their jurisdiction."
Speaking of this, Bai Zhi added, "Oh, by the way. The senior presiding judge you met last time came from these three families."
"In other words...this position has always been monopolized by the three of them, taking turns. So they nominally have the right to judge members of various noble families."
Fang Ze listened silently and had a certain understanding of these three noble families. To put it bluntly, others fight alone, but these three families work together as a team. Three demigods fight one demigod, and three families fight one family. This makes ordinary people fight.
Demigods, how can ordinary noble families fight, so no wonder these three families are the strongest.
Thinking of this, Fang Ze couldn't help but ask, "What about the Jialan family in Tuoye Prefecture? They are also very strong?"
When talking about the Jialan family, Bai Zhi's brows really furrowed. She pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "The Jialan family is not strong, but...weird. Or Tuoyezhou."
It’s just weird.”
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]
Bai Zhi said, "Before the establishment of the Federation, Tuoye Prefecture was actually a religious state, ****. Apart from missionary work, it had very few exchanges with surrounding countries. It is very mysterious."
"Even after being incorporated into the Federation, there is still very little news coming out of that place. The appointment and dismissal of personnel seems to be almost never made public. It is said that a large number of federal officials die there every year, but I don't know whether it is true or not.
.”
"The Jialan family was the actual controller of Tuoye Prefecture before the establishment of the Federation. After the establishment of the Federation, they were the only nobles in Tuoye Prefecture. In addition, they hardly communicate with other families, so no one can figure out their status.
Details and depth.”
"It is said... that during the great catastrophe, the ancestors of the Jialan family did not take action even a few times."
After listening to Bai Zhi's story, Fang Ze finally had a certain understanding of these seven noble families. However, he immediately reacted, "Wait a minute!"
"The Eastern Jurisdiction Region only has seven states and 13 noble families in total. You just introduced three states and six noble families. I made a horizontal comparison. Why do I feel that the three noble families in our West Dar State are so weak?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi looked embarrassed for a moment.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually... not really."
"When the federation was first established, our West Coast state ranked first in overall strength in the entire region, even stronger than the states directly under it."
"The main reason is that our three families are dispersed, have little competition, and live in harmony. Because of your special ability, your Si family has the largest number of vassals and the strongest power in the entire jurisdiction. And our old man is a demigod of the martial arts sect, with great strength.
It was strong and ranked second in the jurisdiction. The Jiang family had auxiliary capabilities and money. So at that time, our strength in West Dazhou was very, very strong."
"How could I know later..."
Fang Ze:...
Indeed, who would have known later that the ancestor of the Si family had himself killed by using the Prisoner's Divine Technique. The Si family plummeted and became the lowest among the 13 noble families. It had powerful resources and power, but without the Sea Ding Needle, it was first destroyed by the Federation and Jiang
His family coveted him, and he was later exterminated.
Immediately afterwards, the Jiang family's betrayal of the Si family was exposed, and their connections and reputation suffered a huge blow, and they were unable to recover. Now the ancestors had few breaths left, and saw that they would soon follow in the footsteps of the Si family.
Only the Bai family can still barely support it, but it has been weakened a lot by He Weidao in recent years.
Thinking about it this way, He Weidao is indeed a giant of the civilian faction in the entire jurisdiction. Looking at the situation in other states, if it were not for him back then, it is estimated that Cedar State would still be dominated by the nobles.
After getting all the information about the nobles who sent the invitations, Fang Ze hung up the communication. Then he called Heiyu and asked in detail about the nobles who sent the invitations. Finally, he had a rough idea in his mind.
A decision has been made.
He felt that Bai Zhi was right. It was best not to offend Tuoye Prefecture and the four noble families in the directly-controlled prefecture. Therefore, he chose... the Jia family in Tangzhou!
As for the reason! Of course the Jia family has the best attitude!
According to Heiyu's previous report, the other six families came to the door arrogantly. For example, the Ma family in Yunlan Prefecture directly stepped down from the mortal level and came with huge coercion. They dropped the invitation and left, making it clear that they were here to fight.
Face!
They all refused to give Fang Ze face, so why should Fang Ze give them face?!
Only in the Jia family, the housekeeper politely came to the door, let the patrolling guards pass the news, and then sent gifts and invitations. This is the attitude of contact and cooperation.
Therefore, Fang Ze decided to go to the Jia family's banquet tonight. As for other families...just wait.
Anyway, the Si family only has Fang Ze now, and they don't dare to risk his life to kill Fang Ze. If they kill Fang Ze, it will be equivalent to the second genocide of the Si family, regardless of whether the nobles of the federation or other regions
, will not let them go.
So, what is Fang Ze afraid of? He is so barefoot that he is not afraid of any threats!
With this in mind, Fang Ze called Hei Yu and began to prepare for his appointment at Jia's house.
.......
The arrival of seven noble families in Cedar State was originally the most important event in Cedar State in recent years. Especially when combined with the Daheigaluo traitor incident that just occurred, it became even more sensitive.
Therefore, not to mention the congressmen in the state capital, even He Weidao and the inspector Ji Qi all paid attention to him.
With sufficient information channels, they found out that seven noble families had invited Fang Ze to the banquet at the same time without much effort.
As for which one Fang Ze would choose, everyone was actually very curious.
Some people speculated that Fang Ze would go to meet the three noble families in the direct state, some speculated that Fang Ze would go to meet the Jialan family in Tuoye state, and some speculated that Fang Ze would not see anyone and pretend to be dead at home, just to name a few...
.
...
At the same time, just when everyone is guessing.
The capital of Xida Prefecture, the spiritual military base.
In a luxurious tea room, He Weidao, the inspector who had a relationship with Fang Ze, was playing Go there.
The two of them were chatting about Fang Ze's choice while getting off the bus.
What is Daozhi Heizi? He bowed his head and asked with a smile, "Which house do you think he will go to?"
Ji Qi looked at the chessboard in deep thought and said casually, "Let's go to the three states."
He Weidao smiled and shook his head, "No."
Ji Qi looked up at him strangely, "Jialan?"
He Weidao smiled again and shook his head.
Ji Qi clutched Bai Zi and frowned slightly, "It can't be those two families in Yunlan Prefecture, right?"
He Weidao smiled even brighter, "It's still wrong. He will go to Jia's house."
Ji Qi shook his head and said, "Impossible. Why would he go to see the weakest family in the Qi family?"
He Weidao smiled and said, "It's because the Jia family is the weakest."
Ji Qi gave him a strange look, a little puzzled, "The Jia family was so suppressed by the Li family in Tangzhou, and the strength itself was not strong, so it couldn't give him much benefit at all, and it couldn't even stop the dissatisfaction of the other six families.
live."
He paused and then said, "And...I heard that the Jia family came this time not to discuss cooperation, but to form a marriage alliance."
"Then the boy hasn't taken care of that girl from the Bai family yet. If we hook up outside at this time, are we really afraid of a fight?"
Hearing those strange words, He Weidao smiled and said nothing.
After a moment, he smiled and commented, "We kids have great ideas. Just wait and see."
After saying that, he casually fell down and killed the fierce and strange dragon...
.......
"Come out, Fang Ze is out."
At six o'clock in the evening, under the gaze of everyone, the gate of the Si family manor opened, and a whole fleet of luxury cars slowly drove out of the manor.
Many people who were paying attention to Fang Ze's movements continued to observe while silently analyzing Fang Ze's whereabouts tonight. Some people who gathered together to follow this drama even started chatting quietly.
"It seems that we are not going to meet Jialan's family? Jialan's family has booked a dinner in the west of the city. If we go there, we won't take this route."
"It's not to meet the Sima family. The dinner ordered by the Sima family is in the south of the city. It's not this way."
"Then it's definitely not the Zeng family. The Zeng family is also in the south of the city and is competing with the Sima family."
"Then there are only three families in the direct state and the Jia family?"
"It shouldn't be the Jia family. The Jia family is in the east of the city. Although it is on this route, it requires a detour. Only the three families directly under the state are in the center of the city and can be reached directly."
"Then it looks like we are going to meet the three families in the direct state."
"should be."
This result is not surprising to everyone. After all, Fang Ze has an old relationship with the senior presiding judge, and the three directly affiliated states are the strongest forces in the entire jurisdiction. There is nothing wrong with Fang Ze choosing them. The only problem is... this result
Too boring.
It seems to be too logical, without much surprise or surprise.
Some people who don't have much patience are even ready to withdraw their attention and no longer pay attention to this matter.
But at this moment, when everyone thought the matter was settled, suddenly! Fang Ze's motorcade turned around.
This sudden change surprised everyone who paid attention to Fang Ze.
"Aren't you going to meet the three families directly under the state?"
Thinking like this, they couldn't help but quickly replan Fang Ze's route.
Soon, Fang Ze's real destination tonight appeared: Jia's family.
After learning this result, many people were in disbelief, "Jia family? Why is it the Jia family?"
"Yes. How could it be the Jia family?"
"What does Fang Ze want to do?"
.....
At the same time, the seven noble families also gradually obtained Fang Ze's whereabouts and the person he was going to make an appointment with tonight.
After learning that Fang Ze finally chose the Jia family among the seven noble families, everyone, including the Jia family, fell silent.
But after the silence...
In the center of the city, the representatives of the three noble families directly under the state looked at each other with livid faces.
In the west of the city, the representative of the Jialan family closed his eyes expressionlessly and muttered something.
In the east of the city, the representative of the Zeng family was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
As for the representatives of the Sima family...
In the box.
"Crack!"
The sound of a bunch of things falling to the ground!
A middle-aged man's canthus was cracked, his eyes were red, and his whole body was shaking with anger, "You bastard! You went to the weakest Jia family?! Do you really think that there is no one in our Sima family?!"
"Uncle Fan!"
Following his call, a powerful old man appeared in the box out of thin air. If Heiyu were here, he would have recognized him as the faded mortal master whose aura overpowered the entire Si family during the day!
After arriving at the box, the old man glanced at the middle-aged man and called, "Young Master, what are your orders?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said, "Go and catch that bastard from the Si family! I must see him tonight!"
The old man hesitated for a moment and was about to persuade. But the middle-aged man directly shouted, "Go! Go!"
Seeing this, the old man sighed slightly, nodded and said, "Yes."
After saying that, he dodged and disappeared into the box.
After the old man disappeared, the middle-aged man looked at the old man's disappearing figure, his eyes gradually lost focus. He breathed heavily and mumbled, "Xiaorou, don't worry. The Si family...
Even if no one survives, they will all go down to stay with you."
