Yang Fan finally finished listening to Li Mubai's lecture and had a preliminary understanding of the true power and function of the Succession Hall. There was no doubt that the power held by the Succession Hall was enormous. Even the Succession Hall itself was not sure how great the effect would be if they used this power with all their strength.
This was because this power was great and invisible, penetrating into all aspects of the national economy and the people's livelihood. If they did not control it properly and used it with all their strength, even they themselves could not estimate what direction it would develop and to what extent it would develop. Once they lost control, they would not be able to control it again. Therefore, the Succession Hall had never taken the risk to try this.
This great power would be in his hands in the future!
Even though Yang Fan was not a person who longed for power and position, he could not help but feel like he was floating in the air.
At this time, someone hurried over and whispered a few words to Old Eunuch Li.
Old Eunuch Li suddenly smiled and said, "Well, I have long seen your absent-minded look, I will not stop you. Go back quickly, the eunuch from the capital has already arrived at the Gongsun Mansion! "
Yang Fan rushed back to the Gongsun Mansion, asked the doorman where the eunuch was, and hurried to the central hall. Before he could enter the hall, he heard a man with a croaky voice laugh out loud. "Hahaha, this child is smart and quick-witted. I like her very much!"
When Yang Fan heard the familiar laughter, he was startled and thought to himself, "So the eunuch is Eunuch Gao? He is an old acquaintance. "
Listening to Eunuch Gao's words, Yang Fan was startled again and secretly laughed, "A Nu is too ostentatious. Look at how much this child loves him. These two days, he has been running around with the child to show off. Eunuch Gao is here to pass the imperial edict. What are you showing him? Is it just to hear him praise the child? "
Yang Fan thought and quickly stepped into the hall. He quickly glanced around, but did not see Xiao Man or A Nu, nor did he see his precious son. Gongsun Bufan and Eunuch Gao were sitting in the hall. Beside Eunuch Gao, someone was about to leave with a plate of fruit. It was Feng Yuanyi, who had been following him as a manservant.
"Brother Yang!"
Feng Yuanyi saw him and happily called out. Yang Fan nodded to him and hurriedly cupped his fists to greet Eunuch Gao. With a face full of smiles, he said, "Eunuch Gao, I, Yang, have not gone out to meet you.
Eunuchs at this time did not have much status. Seeing Yang Fan come in, Eunuch Gao quickly stood up and laughed, "I heard that Yang Langzhong was ill when I came, so I was worried about him. Now it seems that Yang Langzhong is well?"
Yang Fan smiled, "Alright, alright. I have just recovered from my illness and my wife has given birth to a son. I am very happy and went to the temple to offer incense to the Bodhisattva on the good day of Guanyin's enlightenment. I didn't expect Eunuch Gao to come and not welcome me at home. My apologies, my apologies."
Eunuch Gao beamed with joy and said, "Hahaha, congratulations, congratulations. Your husband will now send Doctor Yang another piece of good news. Congratulations on your promotion to the position of Heavenly Official Doctor, Assistant Minister of Heavenly Official!"
...
Qinling Mountains, Shallow Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, Zheng Yu turned his horse around and said coldly, "Brother Lu, you can go now!"
Lu Binmi did not mind. He smiled and cupped his hands, "Thank you for your help, Brother Zheng!"
Zheng Yu snorted and said, "Not really. I am just returning your favor! I wish Brother Lu a safe journey! "
Zheng Yu turned his horse's head and said, "Also, the elders have decided that Yang Fan will be the sect master of the 'Succession Hall'. If Brother Lu continues to fight, the aristocratic families will have a reason to deal with you. If you do not want the entire Lu family to be in trouble because of you, it is best to stop now and return to Fanyang! "
A fierce look flashed through Lu Binmi's eyes, but he still had a smile on his face, "Haha, this matter … does not need Brother Zheng to worry about it!"
Zheng Yu did not say anything else. He kicked the stirrups and galloped forward. There was only one carriage and six people left in the original place.
The person beside Lu Binmi patted the neck of the horse and lazily raised his head. It was Lu Binmi's trusted subordinate, Yuan Tingyun.
The Zheng family of Xingyang was the same as the Lu family of Fanyang. They were both large clans in the north. The various aristocratic families had been connected by marriage for generations. The Zheng family's closest marriage partner was the Lu family. Almost all the daughters-in-law of the Zheng family had the surname Lu, and most of the daughters-in-law of the Lu family had the surname Zheng.
Because of this relationship, the Zheng family of Xingyang and the Lu family of Fanyang had always been close. Of course, there was a very personal reason why Zheng Yu was willing to save Lu Binmi and hide him in the carriages that he had brought to the Lu family that day: Lu Binmi had once helped Zheng Yu greatly.
As to what the truth was, both sides knew: if Lu Binmi could make a comeback, then the Zheng family would be the Lu family's closest partner. If Lu Binmi never had a chance to make a comeback, and accidentally revealed the truth that he had been rescued that day, then it was just Zheng Yu's own actions. This debt, it could be settled!
Zheng Yu's subordinates were busy clearing the grass at the foot of the mountain, leveling the ground, setting up tents, and digging stoves to cook. Everyone was busy, as though they did not see that there was a carriage and a few people watching from the side. Some of the cooking utensils and tents piled on the carriage were carried away by a few of Lu Binmi's bodyguards. Lu Binmi dismounted and stepped onto the carriage.
The carriage was very spacious. After all the cooking utensils and tents were moved away, there were actually already people in the carriage. There were two people in the carriage. One was a thin man in his thirties with sharp eyes, and the other was a plump middle-aged woman. When the two saw Young Master Jiang come in, they knelt down on one knee and saluted him.
Young Master Jiang waved his hand and sat down on the couch. The man walked out and sat down on the driver's seat. He pulled out the big whip that was stuck on the side of the seat. Lu Binmi took a small swaddling cloth from the middle-aged woman's hand and carefully looked at it. There was a small baby in the swaddling cloth. Only a white and clean face could be seen. The baby was sleeping soundly.
Lu Binmi stretched out a finger and gently scratched the baby's smooth little face. He smiled slightly.
This child was Yang Fan's daughter.
Xiao Man gave birth to a boy and a girl that day. They were twins of a dragon and a phoenix.
Being pregnant with twins was a bit more dangerous than being pregnant with one child. Unfortunately, she encountered a difficult labor and could not give birth smoothly. Xiao Man tossed and turned, and when the baby was more than half born, she also fainted from the pain. Once a pregnant woman fainted, the result was inevitable death in the abdomen.
When Gu Zhuting saw that the situation was not good, she could only brace up her courage and steeled her heart to help the birth. Fortunately, this midwife was her. If it was another midwife, no matter how experienced she was, it would be useless. Gu Zhuting practiced soft bones kung fu. Her hands were small and soft, and her skeleton was slender. She forcibly rescued the half-born child.
Gu Zhuting cut the umbilical cord and handed the baby to someone else to take a bath. Then, she began to rescue the baby, wanting to wake Xiao Man up. At this time, even she did not know that there was a second child in Xiao Man's stomach. Unexpectedly, as soon as she woke Xiao Man up, the second child poked its head out. Gu Zhuting was shocked and hurriedly continued to busy herself.
Fortunately, the second child was successfully delivered. Otherwise, Xiao Man might really not be able to hold on. After the child was born, all of Xiao Man's strength was exhausted. She drowsily fell asleep. Gu Zhuting took the child out to clean and then reported to Lu Binmi. When Lu Binmi heard that Yang Fan's wife had given birth to twins of a dragon and a phoenix, he immediately had an idea.
If he could successfully negotiate with Yang Fan and force Yang Fan to yield, Xiao Man and the child would still be returned to Yang Fan. He had never thought of keeping Yang Fan's child, but after hearing that it was a pair of twins, he remembered the humiliation and anger that Tin Aino had brought to him at the peak of Mount Hua.
He decided to keep the girl!
Therefore, he concealed the news.
The next morning, the aristocratic families heard the news and tried to put him under house arrest. Lu Binmi was proud and arrogant. How could he be manipulated by others? He immediately decided to break out of the encirclement. While he was preparing, he sent someone to get in touch with Zheng Yu. Of course, the relationship between the two of them had not just been established today.
At that time, he did not know that Yang Fan was not threatened by him at all and was frantically searching for his whereabouts. In his opinion, even if he disobeyed the order and left, although the aristocratic families were angry, they would not be too entangled with him and go all out to chase him. With four carriages in four directions, it was enough to ensure an easy retreat.
The reason why he wanted to find Zheng Yu was that he did not want to leave. He thought that as long as he sent Xiao Man and the child away and firmly controlled them in his hands, Yang Fan would have to listen to him. How could he leave when Yang Fan had not left? In any case, he had a weapon in his hands that could control Yang Fan: his son!
Unexpectedly, Yang Fan did not act like a normal person whose family had been kidnapped and wait at home for him to state his conditions. Yang Fan used violent methods to come to him. Due to this, the aristocratic families were unable to keep their composure. In order to avoid being implicated and exposed, they moved with Yang Fan.
Also, Xiao Man and the child were saved by Yang Fan. Yang Fan's decisiveness crushed his confidence. He did not think that Yang Fan, who had already taken over the position of the sect master of Xian Zong and knew just how great the power of the "Succession Hall" was, would be willing to give up the king-like power that he had already obtained for a daughter!
The worst thing was that Xiao Man had fainted when giving birth. She did not know that she had given birth to two children. Even if Lu Binmi took the child and told Yang Fan, "This is your daughter," he would only be a laughing stock. The other would not believe his words, so why would he ask to be humiliated?
The person responsible for delivering the child, Gu Zhuyun, was one of his people and could not be used as evidence. He had also silenced her. Now, even if he did not give up and wanted to threaten Yang Fan, it was impossible.
In fact, Gu Zhuyun didn't die, but he didn't know about it. Although Zheng Yu protected him, for the sake of safety, he only had contact with him once during the period when he stayed, and told him about the progress of some important things at present. As to the life and death of a guard, in Zheng Yu's eyes, it was no different than a cat or dog. He did not care and did not have the mood to gossip with Master Lu.
Right now, he could only rely on his own methods to be enemies with Yang Fan. And for this girl, he could only act according to his original plan of keeping this child.
The carriage moved and turned onto the main road.
The setting sun pursued them until the twilight enveloped them in layers.
Lu Binmi gave the child to the nursemaid with a smile. Leaning against the soft cushion, he gently closed his eyes. "You stole my A Nu, so I will steal your daughter! Yang Fan, do not worry, I will raise your daughter well and have her become the second … … Tian, Ai, Nu! "
