The Nangong family seemed very busy today, not because of anything else, but because of the arrival of a distinguished guest. A very distinguished guest.
This man came from the imperial capital. He was a distinguished earl.
I don’t know if the Count has come to Baker City before, but at least the people from the Nangong family don’t know that the Count has come to Baker City before.
Sitting in the banquet hall, Nangong Lie was very respectful and did not dare to say a word.
The person sitting in front of him at this time was an extremely luxuriously dressed man. He looked about fifty years old and had a very kind smile on his face.
"Master Nangong, I wonder if you agree with my proposal?" The earl looked at Nangong Lie and said with a smile, "Once you have His Highness the First Prince as your backer, the future of your family will be really bright."
"Of course we can't ask for this." Nangong Lie said with a smile, "But the matter is too hasty. You also know that although our Nangong family is very small, I can't make the decision alone. There are always many seniors in the family.
I need to communicate with them."
"That's right." The count said with satisfaction, "I just don't know how long it will take you to give us an answer?"
"Well, just these few days." Nangong Lie said cheerfully, "What do you think?"
"Well, I'll just wait for you here for a few days." The count said arrogantly, "You have encountered an extremely rare opportunity this time, so I think you won't miss it, right?"
"Of course," Nangong Lie hurriedly said with a smile, "Thanks to His Highness the Prince for thinking highly of us, we are very honored. I will give you an answer as soon as possible after discussing this matter with the elders in my family. It's just that some of them are out to do things.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to come back in a day or two.”
"It doesn't matter, I will stay in the city lord's mansion for the past two days." The count said nonchalantly, "You can just inform me at any time if you have any news."
"Okay, okay." Nangong Lie quickly replied.
The atmosphere of this banquet was still very harmonious. After seeing off the Earl, Nangong Lie went directly into the family meeting hall. Although it was already ten o'clock in the evening, important members of the Nangong family were already waiting here.
"I think everyone knows what happened today. The people from His Highness the Second Prince have already arrived, and now the people from His Highness the First Prince have also arrived. I think Aotian probably has some status in the imperial capital. We have been here for a long time.
Not much left." Nangong Lie thought for a while and said, "You should start preparations immediately when you go back and sell everything you can. But you must be cautious in this matter."
"We know." Everyone in the meeting hall said quickly.
"Aotian said last year that he went to the border to fight. I think he made a lot of contributions. Otherwise, how could our small family be valued by two princes at the same time." Nangong Haoran said at this time.
"I think so. But we don't have much information here, so we have no way of knowing how he is doing now." Yilin also said.
"No matter what, we can't take refuge in any party before Aotian makes a decision." Nangong Ying said at this time, "We know a little bit about the situation in the empire. The two princes are fighting. We are weak now. If we are on the wrong side,
The consequences for our camp are unpredictable.”
"But it seems that the eldest prince's people will not leave until we wait for our reply." Nangong Han spoke after speaking. He is Nangong Haoran's brother.
"At this time, I think Aotian's master has some concerns. They will come in the next few days. Have you forgotten that they said before that they would complete an agreement with Nangong Aotian this year? I think they will go there soon.
I will definitely come here before going to the Imperial Capital, and we will listen to his opinions then." Nangong Haoran thought for a while and said.
"It's best this way, you two just worry about it, this matter is no small matter." Nangong Lie said very cautiously.
"We know." Yilin and Nangong Aotian said quickly.
"No matter what, we must leave here, otherwise we must join the camp of the eldest prince or the second prince. With these two people, the other party does not need to consider Xiaoyao Sect to attack us. So we should decide on the relocation as soon as possible.
"Nangong Lie said, "Sell what you can't take away with you if you can. Remember that we are only looking for buyers now, and everything will not be fully implemented until the final day of decision. Don't alert the enemy."
"We know." Everyone replied again.
After returning home, Nangong Haoran was going to rest with Yilin. A servant came over and reported, "Master and Madam, the two masters of the young master are here. They said they have something important to wait for you when you come back."
"Oh, great." Nangong Haoran was overjoyed and walked quickly towards the small courtyard where Nangong Aotian lived together with Yilin.
"You are back. What do you need to discuss so late?" Li Youran asked when Nangong Haoran and others came in.
"This is..." They saw an old man they had never seen before. Yilin and Nangong Haoran didn't speak for a while.
"This is Aotian's teacher and master, just like us, but he has never met you in the imperial capital. He is the dean of Kalai College. I think you told Aotian about it," Li Youran explained.
"You are Dean Xiang." Yilin and Nangong Haoran were greatly surprised. They didn't expect why Xiang Tianming came all the way here.
"Haha, you are still discussing things so late. Have you encountered something difficult to solve?" Xiang Tianming looked at Yilin and asked.
"We are waiting for you." Nangong Haoran sat down and said, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince sent someone here a few days ago and asked my Nangong family to join them. We made excuses to shirk it. But today the eldest prince's people came again.
And we are waiting for our reply at the City Lord's Mansion. It is difficult for us to decide on this matter."
"We are here for your business this time." Xiang Tianming said, "You may not know about Aotian's situation. He is now the commander of the Holy Dragon Legion, with an army of 900,000 in his hands. At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor has
The management of Holy Dragon City has been handed over to Aotian, and now Aotian is a marquis, and there is a palace in the imperial capital given by the emperor, but these will not be issued until Aotian returns to the imperial capital."
"What??????Legion Commander, Marquis???????" Nangong Haoran was shocked, and Yilin was also shocked. The two sat there blankly for a while, not knowing how to speak. They didn't expect
In just a few years, their son has reached this level.
"Now the eldest prince and the second prince are interested in the military power in Aotian's hands, so they want to win over you. But what you don't know is that Aotian is now on the side of the third prince. The third prince came to the imperial capital when Aotian
We have known each other since we were in Carlai Academy, and they have established a very deep friendship, so now you can neither agree to the eldest prince nor the second prince. And as far as I know, the relationship between these two princes
They are not very good people, and they are not suitable candidates for you to seek refuge with," Xiang Tianming said.
"But what should we do now?" Nangong Haoran was a little at a loss. "The eldest prince's people are waiting here. Once we refuse, they will not let us go."
"Don't worry, we have already discussed it. We will leave for the Imperial Capital in the next two days, and our Xiaoyao trace will also be moved together. There is an evil force coming in here, and it has become no longer pure. When the time comes, you will be with us
Leave here, I think they don't have the strength to stop my Xiaoyao Sect." Li Youran said.
"You have to finish everything here within ten days after we leave. There is no need to hide anything. People from my Xiaoyao Sect will come over tomorrow. You don't have to worry about anything." Xiang Tianming said, "The eldest prince's people will come over and ask you.
, you just say that Aotian asked you to move there in the imperial capital, and all matters must wait until he can make a decision. Don't give him any reply, because they won't be able to do anything to you."
"Okay, I'll go talk to my father right now." Nangong Haoran thought for a while and said.
"That's fine, the sooner this happens, the better. Aotian is also heading towards the Imperial Capital. You will be absolutely safe in the Imperial Capital because I, Kalai Academy, are here. Your Majesty will not allow any accidents to happen to Aotian now."
Tianming said, "We will not leave here until the people from Xiaoyao Sect arrive, but we will only stay here for three days. We will inform Xiaotian of your decision as soon as possible."
"Okay, I understand." Nangong Haoran said quickly, "We were originally thinking about moving today. Even if Aotian didn't come back, we planned to take the risk and move. If we don't reply to the two princes here, we will be delayed.
As time goes by, they will definitely find excuses to deal with us."
When Nangong Haoran saw Nangong Lie and told Nangong Lie about the matter, Nangong Lie was stunned for a long time before he woke up.
"Father, what should we do now?" Nangong Haoran looked at Nangong Lie and asked.
"Now that the matter has reached this level, we don't need to worry about anything. People from the Xiaoyao Sect can't imagine any big trouble. You go and notify people, we will hold a meeting overnight. Then we will sell off all the property and then go to the Imperial Capital.
We know that we must be in need of money when we arrive in the imperial capital." Nangong Lie said decisively, "Bring all the loyal people with us within ten days, and give generous severance pay to the rest. It is said that the Nangong family, except for some, is in urgent need of money.
They leave."
"Yes." Nangong Haoran quickly agreed and went out to make arrangements.
Seeing that the people of the Nangong family were really decisive in doing things, Xiang Tianming and the others finally felt relieved. Three days later, they left the Nangong family and headed for the imperial capital.
At this time, in addition to the disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect who were transferred away, more than 30 people who stayed behind also went to the Nangong family. The strength of these people is above that of Wu Ling. With these people in charge, the Xiaoyao Sect is behind them.
Support. The relocation of the Nangong family happened suddenly, and the people in Baker City could not stop it even if they wanted to. The earl sent by His Highness the First Prince also knew that something was unexpected, so he had to return to the imperial capital immediately to report it.
At this time, Nangong Aotian had already finished everything, and together with Dongfang Xiaotian, the group was heading towards the imperial capital.
