Ning Ke sat by the window with her hands on the railing and her sharp chin resting on the back of her hands, quietly watching the autumn scenery in the garden.
She wore a light white, narrow sleeved chest-length dress embroidered with purple flowers, showing off her slender and delicate waist. Her long eyelashes fluttered slightly melancholically, as if she was in deep thought. In fact, she was not thinking about anything. All her attention seemed to be scattered to the grass and trees in the garden, bathing in the warm autumn sun with them.
This was the most comfortable and relaxing moment of her day.
"Younger Sister! Younger Sister! "
Dugu Yu rushed in excitedly, his face flushed with excitement.
Ning Ke only turned her head lazily, glanced at her brother who ran in, and said with a smile, "What are you so happy about?"
Dugu Yu looked up at the sky and laughed, then sat down next to his sister, saying cheerfully, "Lu Binmi couldn't hold back and made a stupid move. Last night, she actually sent someone to assassinate Yang Fan!"
Ning Ke was startled, her beautiful big eyes suddenly widening, but she immediately calmed down. Her brother was in such high spirits, it could be seen that Yang Fan must have been scared but not harmed.
As expected, Dugu Yu did not mention Yang Fan again, but triumphantly talked about the response of the aristocratic families, "The aristocratic families in Shandong now have an excuse to depose him. The Pei family, the Wei family, the Liu family, and the other Guanlong families are also taking advantage of the situation. Now they are constantly sending people to pressure the aristocratic families in Shandong. Our plan will definitely succeed!"
Dugu Yu poured a cup of water and gulped it down. Then he said joyfully, "Sister, you are a Zhuge Liang among women. You're really good. You've made ingenious plans in the tent and created a new leader of the Xian Clan!"
Ning Ke still leaned on the railing, quietly watching her brother put down the cup, wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "Do you think it is our Dugu family that made Erlang?"
Dugu Yu said proudly, "Isn't it?"
"It isn't!"
Ning Ke gently straightened her slender waist, the autumn sun passing over her black hair and white skin, beautiful and dazzling.
"Why didn't we choose someone else? Because no one else is qualified! Elder Brother, this is his own ability. Not everyone can become this person! He has all these conditions. We just need to stimulate these potential conditions and let everyone remember that he is the most suitable person. It's like … "
Ning Ke tilted his head and thought for a while. Then he smiled mischievously and said, "It's like when a patriarch wants to divide the family property, his brothers will fight for it. There were also many relatives and friends who wanted to help the person closest to them get more benefits. If they continued to fight like this, it was very likely that the whole family would fall apart and everyone would be finished.
However, there was such a person. His prestige, reputation, status, and relationship with this family were enough to make him the best mediator, and everyone was convinced by him. It was just that he didn't want to be the peacemaker, and the people who were arguing didn't think of him. And we … accidentally thought of it! "
Ning Ke was full of energy today, and his words were clear and pleasant to the ear.
She took the cup of water that her brother handed over and moistened her throat delicately. She continued, "Erlang is this person. His background reassures the Empress. His close relationship with the Wu Clan makes the biggest resistance possible, and it will be the most supportive force for him to be the mediator. He risked his life in the southern border, and the friendship he forged with various chieftains made them trust him and be willing to accept his arrangements. He has long established a close relationship with the Hidden Sect, which made all the aristocratic families trust him. With all these reasons, it is destined that he can only be the candidate. No matter how many schemes we have, if that person isn't him, it will be impossible to succeed! So … "
Ning Ke stared at her brother and said seriously, "Don't ever think that we created him. If you think that we are doing him a favor, then we will lose his friendship sooner or later! "
Dugu Yu withdrew the smile on his face and thought carefully for a long time before nodding solemnly. "En! I understand. We just have to put ourselves in the position of a friend forever! "
Ning Ke nodded cheerfully.
Dugu Yu said, "I originally felt that all the forces can't hold back anymore. At this time, our Dugu Clan might as well hide in the back. In that case, I should immediately go and see Yang Fan and see what help I can provide him … "
Ning Ke was slightly startled, and her expression changed. Her complexion was originally pale, and with this loss of color, it was as if even the tendons hidden under her delicate little face could be seen clearly. "Erlang is injured?"
Dugu Yu said, "I don't think so … even if he is injured, it will be a light injury. But his wife was kidnapped by Lu Binmi. Heh! This Lu Binmi is really insane … "
"What?"
Ning Ke suddenly stood up, and her body couldn't help but sway. Dugu Yu quickly got up to support her and asked in surprise, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Ke said angrily, "You … why didn't you say such an important thing?"
Dugu Yu said blankly, "Is this thing very important?"
Ning Ke hatefully shook off his hand and said angrily, "His wife was kidnapped, how is this not important?"
Dugu Yu said disapprovingly, "A man should establish his career, but a woman …"
Facing his little sister's angry gaze, Dugu Yu rubbed his hands and couldn't go on with his words.
At this time, someone reported at the door, "Ah Lang!"
Dugu Yu turned his head and saw that it was his personal attendant, so he asked, "What's the matter?"
That person said, "I just received news that Yang Fan killed his way to Xingning Lane and smashed the Lu family!"
"What?"
Dugu Yu was startled, "He … he led troops there?"
That person said, "Alone! Oh, by the way, he also brought two girls, one of whom is the eldest daughter of the Gongsun family. "
Ning Ke's eyes flashed with a strange light, and her thin lips tightly pursed, but she couldn't stop the curve of her lips that was gradually curling up.
Dugu Yu murmured, "Yang Fan … Yang Fan … no, he is going to cause a big trouble. Once this matter is spread to the ears of Mr. Liu, I'm afraid it will be bad …"
Before his voice died away, another attendant hurried to the door, cupped his hands and reported, "Ah Lang, Yang Fan broke into the Lu family, and Old Grandpa Li of Longxi heard the news and rushed to stop him."
Dugu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, he almost screwed things up. For a woman, is it necessary for him to …"
That guard said again, "But Old Grandpa Li didn't stop him, and Yang Fan … went to smash the second house!"
Dugu Yu sat back on the stool, and Ning Ke could no longer hold his tightly pursed lips, and a trace of blood appeared on his snow-white face.
…
More than a dozen strong men in bright clothes and riding horses rushed to the Lu family of Jingan Lane, and stopped abruptly in front of the screen wall.
Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Old Grandpa Li stuck his head out of the carriage and waved his arms, saying, "Help me down! Help me down! Where is that hothead, stupid brat? This time, he must give me … "
Old Grandpa Li was halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.
Two white-haired old men had just come out from behind the screen wall, each holding a walking stick. They were panting heavily, and their faces were full of anger. One of them was the lord of the Taiyuan royal clan, and the other was the lord of the Xingyang Zheng clan.
Old Grandpa Li asked curiously, "Why are you two old things here? Where is that bastard Yang Fan? "
Old Grandpa Zheng waved his walking stick in annoyance, saying, "This old man didn't make it in time, you ask him!"
Old Grandpa Wang slammed his walking stick on the ground, saying, "That bastard didn't give us any face at all! When this old man rushed over, the Lu family had already been robbed, heh! "
Old Grandpa Li asked, "Where is he?"
Old Grandpa Wang glared at him, "You ask me, but who do I ask? Let's go! Let's go! "
Old Grandpa Li fell on the shaft of the carriage, and the coachman hurriedly held him up. Old Grandpa Li asked anxiously, "He … he wouldn't have smashed all the Lu family's mansions in Chang 'an, would he?"
Old Grandpa Zheng squinted and stroked his beard. He said decisively, "No!"
Old Grandpa Li and Old Grandpa Wang became spirited at the same time, and asked in unison, "Why do you think so?"
Old Grandpa Zheng said confidently, "From Xingning Lane to Jing 'an Lane, there are two or three Lu family's properties in between, but I didn't see him smash them."
Old Grandpa Wang was overjoyed, and said with a hand on his chest, "That's right! Amitabha … no! No! "
Old Grandpa Wang began to hit the ground with his walking stick again. He said angrily, "This means … this means that he came prepared. He wasn't sure where that bastard of a Lu family was hiding, but he had at least confirmed a few places. If this is the case, do you think he will find the real place in the next house? "
The other two old men heard this, and their expressions changed. Old Grandpa Zheng took a deep breath and said, "This won't do. If we let him be so reckless, we will all be doomed together!"
Old Grandpa Li said, "We have to send someone to that boy from the Lu family. No matter what, we can't let Yang Fan kill him with a knife!"
Old Grandpa Wang said, "I have already sent someone, but if Yang Fan goes to the real place next, I'm afraid that the person I send will be behind him …"
Old Grandpa Li took a deep breath, and said coldly, "Is there anyone else in charge in the Lu family?"
The steward of the Lu family sent off the two old grandpas respectfully, and was following behind them. Upon hearing this, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply, saying, "Greetings, Old Grandpa Li!"
Old Grandpa Li said coldly, "If you don't want the Lu family to be finished, quickly go back and pack up everything. If anyone in the neighborhood hears anything, you must shut their mouths! No matter what, this matter cannot be known to the officials, do you hear me? "
The steward's body trembled, and he said repeatedly, "I hear you, I hear you!"
Old Grandpa Li waved his hand and said, "Get lost!"
Grand Elder Li chased away the steward of the Lu Residence and said to Grand Elder Zheng and Grand Elder Wang, "Hurry up and mobilize all of your manpower. No matter where Yang Fan went, chase after him and suppress the chaos. Only our own people can know about this matter. We must not let it spread. Don't let the commoners and the government officials hear even the slightest bit of news!"
The two white-haired old men understood the severity of the situation, and hurriedly nodded. They boarded their respective carriages, and before the carriages left, orders were passed down.
They had to work together, using the rich resources of the millennium families, and all their connections and connections to suppress the commotion caused by the chaos to the smallest extent possible, and clean up Yang Fan's mess!
