Du Shaofu's pale-white face fluctuated as he looked at the tall and handsome middle-aged man in front of him. Then, he respectfully bowed and said, "Du Shaofu greets Uncle Ling."
The handsome middle-aged man was naturally Ouyang Ling. Hearing that, he looked at Du Shaofu and a smile rose from the corner of his mouth. He said, "Boy, how did you recognize me?"
Du Shaofu's eyes jumped and said, "Very simple. Big Sis Shuang looks a bit like you. I could tell with a glance, so it wasn't hard to recognize you."
Hearing that, Ouyang Ling's face couldn't help being taken aback. Then, he bitterly smiled and said, "Don't mention that girl. I don't know what sins I committed in my past life for her to anger me. Sooner or later, I will be angered to death by her."
"Big Sis Shuang's martial cultivation talent is extremely high, and her appearance is also devastatingly beautiful. Uncle Ling, you should be happy."
Du Shaofu didn't know what to say. In his heart, he thought that if he said more nice things and praised more, then there shouldn't be anything wrong.
"Don't you know that girl is not interested in men right now? She actually likes women. Your Aunt Shan and I have been having headaches for a long time."
Ouyang Ling looked at Du Shaofu, then his clear gaze suddenly changed, as if he discovered a new continent. He said, "Boy, you're not bad. You're also my brother's son, and you're also very special. How about I betroth that girl to you?"
"What …"
After hearing that, Du Shaofu was instantly taken aback. If Ouyang Shuang knew about this, she would probably be the first to commit suicide. He quickly shook his head and said, "Uncle Ling, don't joke around. I'm still young, so this kind of thing needs to be decided by my parents."
"That's true. Next time I see my brother, I'll mention it to him."
Ouyang Ling seemed to be serious. Then, he looked at Du Shaofu. His gaze slightly moved as he said, "You look like your father as well. You can recognize him with a glance. Speaking of which, it's already been eighteen years since I last saw him. How has he been these years?"
"He's alright. He just likes to drink. I wonder if he used to like drinking?"
Du Shaofu said softly. Needless to say, Du Shaofu could feel that the relationship between this handsome middle-aged man and his alcoholic father was definitely not ordinary.
"He didn't drink much in the past."
Ouyang Ling looked at Du Shaofu and sighed. "You'll slowly find out about your father's past in the future. However, it won't be easy for you to surpass your father."
"I'll work hard, as long as I don't embarrass him," Du Shaofu said.
"You have ambition." Ouyang Ling slowly stepped forward. His clear eyes looked at Du Shaofu. His expression became more serious. His eyes flickered as he said, "I came out of seclusion last night..."
"Uncle Ling shouldn't be in seclusion."
Du Shaofu interrupted Ouyang Ling's words. Then, he smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, the governor of Lanling Prefecture City, Han Qiang, must have come to find Uncle Ling last night. Han Xin should also have been released last night. At this time, I'm afraid that the city guards captured by the Lanling Prefecture City's private army have also returned."
Looking at Du Shaofu, Ouyang Ling's face twitched helplessly. After a while, he looked at Du Shaofu and asked, "Tell me, how can you be so sure?"
Du Shaofu smiled and said, "I didn't know at the beginning. However, I suspected it yesterday and confirmed it in the end."
After pausing for a moment, Du Shaofu continued, "Normally, during this special period, the city guards wouldn't dare to touch my friend. Han Xin wouldn't either. He would even warn the city guards not to cause trouble during this period. Therefore, when I heard that the city guards wanted to harm my friend, I already suspected it, but I didn't dare to be sure.
In the end, I went to the private army camp and found out that Uncle Ling came to Lanling Prefecture City 16 years ago and became the governor.
Before this, the current governor of Lanling Prefecture City, Han Qiang, had been in Lanling Prefecture City for many years and had made many contributions. He originally had the greatest chance of becoming the governor. This Han Qiang also has a lot of background in the empire. However, Uncle Ling became the governor immediately. Han Qiang was more or less displeased. All these years, he probably didn't agree with Uncle Ling either. "
"What does this mean?" Ouyang Ling looked at Du Shaofu and asked with interest.
Du Shaofu smiled and said, "Of course it has something to do with it. Han Qiang didn't agree with Uncle Ling either. I think Uncle Ling, as the governor of Lanling Prefecture City, also felt a little uncomfortable. However, this Han Qiang is also very smart. Therefore, Uncle Ling didn't want to do anything to him all these years. Secondly, he didn't catch Han Qiang's tail.
However, this time, I unintentionally caused some trouble. It just so happened that it involved Han Qiang's most important and most trusted city guards. Uncle Ling wanted to take this opportunity to knock some sense into Han Qiang, but it wasn't good for you to do it personally.
Moreover, this time, Han Qiang didn't show up at all. It was his son, Han Xin, who stepped in. Therefore, Uncle Ling chose me and the situation developed to this point. "After Du Shaofu finished speaking in one breath, his gaze fell on Ouyang Ling again.
When Ouyang Ling heard Du Shaofu's words, he stood with his hands behind his back and smiled, "What you said makes some sense. However, these words are a little far-fetched. I can completely deny it."
"It's a little far-fetched, and there's no evidence."
Du Shaofu looked at Ouyang Ling and said, "But this is indeed the truth of the matter. This result is also what Uncle Ling wanted. I think Han Qiang came to Lanling Prefecture City last night to see Uncle Ling, so he must have expressed his stance to Uncle Ling. I'm afraid that he won't be dissatisfied in the future. Therefore, Uncle Ling released the city guards and Han Xin, and said that this was a conflict between Han Xin and me, right?"
Ouyang Ling's handsome face muscles looked at Du Shaofu and couldn't help but twitch. He was surprised that this kid could actually guess the development of the matter after Han Qiang came last night. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "I just want to know, how can you be so sure?"
"Hehe …"
Du Shaofu smiled and then said, "It's very simple. Yesterday, I was too talkative and asked Sister Shuang. She said that you weren't in closed-door training the day before I came. Then I asked Sister Shuang to describe the characteristics of several people who went to make trouble for my friend yesterday. Later, I went to the private army of Lanling Prefecture City and found that except for some people who were on duty, several people in the private army camp were missing. After investigation, I found that the missing private army of Lanling Prefecture City were very similar to those who claimed to be the city guards described by Sister Shuang.
Only Uncle Ling and Uncle Ling's trusted aides can mobilize a private army. So, I guess that's the gist of it. "
"Why would I send people to pretend to be the city guards and make trouble for your friend?" Ouyang Ling asked.
"Because I don't intend to get involved in the matter between the city guards and the private army of Lanling Prefecture City. Uncle Ling didn't do this because he wanted to pull me in. This matter started because of me, so naturally it can only end with me."
Du Shaofu looked at Ouyang Ling and said, "So I simply made it big. First, I called Han Xin to Lanling Prefecture City, and then learned from Uncle Ling. I found someone to pretend to be the confidant of the commander surnamed Lin of the city guards and went to the city guards camp to inform the other city guards that the private army of Lanling Prefecture City framed me and insisted that the city guards wanted to rebel. They have already captured the young city lord and the city lord in Lanling Prefecture City and are preparing to kill them.
The city guards are probably very sullen these days, and they are also Han Qiang's confidants. When they heard that Han Xin and his son were captured, there will definitely be some impatient people who will rush to Lanling Prefecture City without understanding the situation. At that time, I will think of a way to make Han Xin attack me. Plus, the city guards have surrounded Lanling Prefecture City. These two together are equivalent to conclusive evidence. I think it will be enough to make Han Qiang unable to explain.
In the end, Han Qiang will definitely come to Lanling Prefecture City. The only way is to submit to Uncle Ling. And if Han Qiang comes personally, I think Uncle Ling will have to come out of seclusion. "
"Good boy!"
Looking at Du Shaofu, after a long time, Ouyang Ling opened his mouth and began to speak. His dew-like clear eyes rippled. He sighed slightly and said, "I treat you like this, what do you think in your heart?"
Du Shaofu looked at Ouyang Ling and his expression became serious again. He bowed again and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ling."
"The child is worth teaching. As expected of the son of those two terrifying fellows."
As Ouyang Ling's voice sounded, the surrounding space rippled. After which, his figure gradually disappeared in a strange manner. A medicinal pill appeared in front of Du Shaofu out of nowhere. He said, "You should have just broken through to the Pulse Stage. As your uncle, I don't have anything good to give you. This Gumai Soul Pill has a great effect on stabilizing the meridians and spirits of those who have just broken through to the Pulse Stage. It is also a rather difficult item to find. Consider it my gift to you."
By the time Du Shaofu reached out and grabbed the Gumai Soul Pill, Ouyang Ling's figure had already disappeared.
Lanling Prefecture City, City Lord's Mansion.
In a quiet small hall, a rather well-built man looked at Han Xin. His brows were slightly furrowed as he said, "You still lost."
"I don't understand why I fell for such a low-level trick. Even if I didn't attack him, I wouldn't have been tricked by him." Han Xin sat upright. His expression was dim as he raised his head slightly.
"Because you were too anxious. You wanted to win too much, so you lost your sense of propriety."
The well-built man said to Han Xin, "Even if you didn't attack that brat, the matter has already been settled. You went to the Lanling Prefecture, so you were destined to be controlled. You lost your sense of propriety, so you lost for sure."
"That brat is too shameless." Han Xin fiercely slapped the seat. He didn't expect that he would lose like this.
"Don't find excuses for your loss. You lost twice in a row. It's enough. Winner takes all. Being shameless is also a skill."
The well-built man looked at Han Xin and said, "That brat is not simple. Your loss this time may not be a bad thing for you. At least you can discover your own shortcomings. In the future, you won't lose so easily when you meet such an opponent. However, if you still can't admit your loss, then you won't have another chance to win in the future. "
Han Xin raised his head slightly. He didn't reply.
"City Lord, Young Master, there is a person called Du Shaofu outside the door. He said he is looking for Young Master." An old man who looked like a housekeeper walked in and said respectfully to the two.
"It's time for the fifth watch. Brothers, go to bed early after reading. "
