The group of people soon arrived at the entrance of Nangong Aotian's mansion. At this time, Dongfang Lie and Nangong Haoran walked to the front together.
"Aotian, this is your mansion, it's so majestic." Nangong Lie was the first to walk in the door.
"Haha, this is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor. It costs nothing." Nangong Aotian said with some pride.
"You kid, even at such an old age, you still only care about money." Yilin was already standing next to Nangong Aotian, looking at her son constantly, with endless love in her eyes.
"Tian'er, your strength has reached the realm of martial arts." Nangong Haoran also came to Nangong Aotian and said.
"Yes, I am already at the third level of martial arts." Nangong Aotian said proudly, "Even among the family, my strength is reasonable."
At this time, Dongfang Xiaotian and Zuo Bingquan also came out. Of course Dongfang Phoenix also came out. Behind them were Sun Yifeng and Fengyun Leiden.
"They are..." Nangong Lie looked at the row of people behind Nangong Aotian and asked in confusion. The strength of these people made him a little shocked.
"Let them settle down first, and we'll talk about this later." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "Don't rush to introduce them yet."
"Yes, yes." Nangong Lie also said with a smile, "It's better to arrange the people first.
Dongfang Phoenix had already arrived at Dongfang Xiaotian's side at this time. He didn't know what to do, but felt that his heart was beating hard.
"Fenghuang, hurry up, ask the maids to settle down the women and children first. Yifeng, you all can help too." Nangong Aotian started gesticulating, "Fenghuang, take my parents and my grandfather into the room behind the main hall and settle down first.
"
"Oh." Although Dongfang Phoenix's face turned red, he had no choice but to do what Nangong Aotian said.
"This girl is..." Yilin could tell at a glance that Dongfang Phoenix was not Nangong Aotian's servant. After all, Dongfang Phoenix looked very noble at this time, and his clothes were not comparable to those of ordinary people. The important thing is this
Who is willing to treat such a beautiful person like a maid?
"I'll introduce you later. Let's get settled first." Nangong Aotian said nonchalantly.
"You kid." Yilin had no choice but to put aside her doubts and followed Dongfang Phoenix into the main hall.
After everyone was settled and it was getting dark, dinner started immediately.
Of course, it is impossible for so many people to eat together. There are people greeting each other in every house. Dongfang Phoenix has already transferred all the servants and maids at home.
He was so busy that he was sweating profusely. In fact, Nangong Aotian himself didn't even know what he was busy with.
Finally, it was time for dinner. At this time, three large tables were set up in the main hall. Of course, Nangong Aotian, his parents, and the two representatives of the Nangong family, Nangong Lie and Nangong Ying, sat together. There were also people sitting at the same table.
There is Dongfang Xiaotian and his daughter Dongfang Phoenix.
Seeing that it was about to eat, Yilin, who was sitting next to Nangong Aotian, said to Nangong Aotian, "Tian'er, please introduce it to us now."
"Haha." Nangong Aotian patted his head and said, "Look, I even forgot about it."
"You kid." Dongfang Haoran, who was sitting on the other side of Yilin, scolded, "They should be helping you, right?"
"Exactly." Nangong Aotian pointed at Dongfang Xiaotian and said, "This is the commander of the Eastern Army. The first-class duke of the empire."
"Oops!!! You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Nangong Lie suddenly panicked, stood up and saluted Dongfang Xiaotian, "We didn't know that the Duke was here, how offensive we were, please forgive the sins of the Duke."
ah."
Nangong Ying and Nangong Aotian's parents also quickly stood up.
"Haha, you are Aotian's relatives, so there is no need to be polite. I also like Aotian's behavior. He also helped me a lot during this border war." Dongfang Xiaotian waved his hand quickly.
He said, "From now on, we will be like a family and we won't need so many gifts."
"This is the granddaughter of the commander of the Eastern Army, named Dongfang Phoenix. She is my confidante." Nangong Aotian pointed at Dongfang Phoenix and said.
"You..." Dongfang Phoenix didn't expect that Nangong Aotian would directly say that she was his confidante, and his pretty face suddenly turned red. But he couldn't sit like this anymore, so he had to salute Dongfang Lie, but he didn't
Know how to speak.
Dongfang Xiaotian also didn't expect that this boy would actually introduce his granddaughter like this. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and thought, "This boy really knows how to strike while the iron is hot. At this time, the marriage between this boy and my good granddaughter will be ruined."
Even if it's settled." However, he didn't object to the matter originally and didn't say anything at the moment.
"Hey, I said this girl is so beautiful and so noble. She turns out to be the granddaughter of the Duke." Yilin looked at Dongfang Phoenix and became more and more happy.
"Hello, aunt." Dongfang Phoenix could only whisper. His face seemed to be burning with fire.
"Aotian, isn't your master here?" Seeing that Li Youran and Zhao Nanshan were not among these people, Yilin asked.
"Oh, they don't like to practice in such an occasion." Nangong Aotian said.
The food arrived soon. The meal was quite lively. Of course, the most surprised ones were Nangong Lie and Nangong Ying. They didn't expect that Nangong Aotian had already done well in the imperial capital. Even the Phoenix Legion of the empire
The granddaughter of the legion commander has already been captured by this kid, and I am really surprised.
After eating, everyone quickly dispersed to rest. The Dongfang family's servants were taken back by the Dongfang family's housekeeper. Dongfang Phoenix did not leave. At this time, he was already pulled by Yilin. The two whispered softly.
Chatting softly.
Seeing that everyone was gone, Dongfang Xiaotian also knew that he had to go home, so he said goodbye and left with Dongfang Phoenix.
Nangong Aotian brought Dongfang Lie, Dongfang Ying and Nangong Haoran to a hall next to the lobby.
After sitting down, Nangong Lie said to Nangong Aotian, "I heard that you are now a legion commander. How many armies do you control?"
"There are 900,000 troops. Among the four major legions in the imperial capital, Sun'er's legion has actually surpassed the Phoenix Legion in terms of strength." Nangong Aotian said confidently.
"Well, that's good." Nangong Lie nodded with satisfaction, "What about the situation in Holy Dragon City? How big is it there?"
"It's a little smaller than the Imperial Capital, and it's still under construction." Nangong Aotian said, "It will definitely be a good place for development in the future."
"Which prince in the imperial capital have you chosen now?" Nangong Lie asked again.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince." Nangong Aotian said, "Although he does not have any strength, the legion in my hand and the legion of the Phoenix Family are enough to withstand any changes. After all, strength is the most important in times of chaos.
of."
"Well, it's fine that we know this and don't intend to interfere. We know your abilities, so you can act boldly. With an army of 900,000 and the Phoenix family as your backer, you already have enough capital." Nangong Ying thought.
He thought about it and said.
"But you still have to be careful in everything in the future." Nangong Haoran said, "We can't help you much here."
"Yes, I know." Nangong Aotian nodded quickly and said.
"If my prediction is good, the eldest prince and the second prince will come to you a few days after our arrival. They have come to our Nangong family before. I think you know this, right?" Nangong Lie thought for a while and said.
"I know this." Nangong Aotian nodded and said, "I can't think of a week before they will definitely come."
"Well, do you plan to let the Nangong family develop in Shenglong City?" Nangong Lie thought for a while and said, "We also mean the same. We have many constraints on you here. After all, that is our base camp. You are here
You have just established your footing, and we can’t do anything to help you.”
"That's the best." Nangong Aotian was delighted, "My grandson has this plan and wants to ask your opinion."
"Well, of course we agree that the Imperial Capital is not a good place for development. Since ancient times, powerful families have stayed away from the Imperial Capital for development. After all, development here will be somewhat suppressed."
Nangong Lie thought for a while and then said, "In this case, we will leave in two days, so that the two princes will not take the opportunity to make trouble."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Nangong Aotian frowned and said, "You just came, how many days do I still want you to play here?"
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Nangong Lie said with a smile, "What do you mean?"
"We listen to the head of the family," Nangong Ying said immediately.
"Now that you've decided, let's do it." Nangong Haoran also said. Although he was a little reluctant to leave Nangong Aotian, he also knew that now was not the time to be emotional. Although Yilin was full of reluctance, she didn't say much.
"Grandpa, why did you bring so many people here this time?" Nangong Aotian asked again in confusion, "But I didn't see any servants?"
"Most of them are direct and collateral descendants of our Nangong family, but there are also a hundred of them who are our newly recruited young descendants of the Nangong family. They are all between thirteen and fifteen years old, and according to what you said at that time
, they were originally children from poor families, most of them were orphans, and now they all have the surname Nangong."
"That's it. Then these people need to be trained well." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"Yes, we have already started to train them." Nangong Lie said with a smile, "The oldest children in the family have been trained together with these children. And they are practicing the highest fighting skills and exercises in my family. At the same time, they are also training
Their loyalty, children of this age are very malleable.”
"That's good." Nangong Aotian finally felt relieved, "With these people, our Nangong family will have a better foundation for its future development."
