Seeing Lan Ling, Suo Hanyi frowned, his eyes full of anger and disgust, and said coldly, "You bastard, you still know to come back? Burned by a woman, you actually went thousands of miles to the Demonic Mountain Range and didn't even see your father for the last time. You're really promising, aren't you? "
Lan Ling didn't argue, but bowed his head and said, "Big brother, I was wrong."
Suo Hanyi was a little surprised. His relationship with Søren was very bad. Because his foster father valued him very much, Søren was afraid and jealous of him. He never called him big brother when he saw him, and always looked at him coldly.
But even so, Suo Hanyi didn't look at Lan Ling directly. In his heart, he looked down on his cheap younger brother, even though he was very loyal to the Suo family.
"Big brother, what happened in Tianshui City?" Suo Ningbing asked softly.
Suo Hanyi turned his face, no longer looking at Lan Ling, and looked at Suo Ningbing.
He didn't know if it was Lan Ling's illusion, but he always felt that Suo Hanyi looked at his sister with a somewhat fiery gaze, although it was very vague and fleeting.
"Søren, I want to talk business with Lil Bing, you go away." Suo Hanyi said straightforwardly.
Suo Hanyi's attitude could be said to be very rude. It should be known that Søren was not only his sworn brother, but also his lord. And Suo Hanyi was completely bossing him around.
Suo Ningbing's expression was a little unnatural, and then she said with a gentle smile, "Big brother, Xiaolun is old, so it's time to learn how to deal with territorial affairs."
Suo Hanyi nodded and said, "I came to King City because I heard that Søren is back, and because there is a crisis in Tianshui City."
Suo Ningbing's pretty face changed, and she said, "What crisis?"
Suo Hanyi said, "Nur. Er Dan is in contact with various high-level warrior lords, planning to break away from the Suo clan and become independent. "
Nur. Er Dan, the largest lord of Tianshui City, has always been ambitious.
Suo Ningbing's expression changed, "How can they do this? Their territories were bestowed to them by my Suo Clan. They are not only the Suo Clan's retainers, but also servants. "
Suo Hanyi said, "Before Søren disappeared for a long time, everyone thought he was dead. The Suo family had no heir, so they used this reason to leave the Suo family."
Suo Ningbing said, "Søren has already returned."
Suo Hanyi said, "But before that, Nu. Er Dan's connection has already begun. "
Suo Ningbing said, "How many Warrior Lords responded? Er Dan? "
"Of the nineteen Warrior Lords, at least seven or eight are already on his side, and the rest are starting to waver." Suo Hanyi said, "If we don't stop them soon, they will rise up in a few months. At that time, the royal family will take the opportunity to intervene, and our Suo Clan will completely lose the 500 miles of territory in Tianshui City. "
Suo Ningbing's breathing suddenly quickened, and her beautiful eyes looked at Suo Hanyi, "Big brother, what should we do?"
Suo Hanyi said, "Let Søren inherit the title as soon as possible, and then return to the territory with righteousness. Everyone knows that a country cannot be without a leader for a day. "
Suo Ningbing frowned. One must know that the Søren in front of her was a fake, Lan Ling in disguise. His knowledge of the world's literature and martial arts started from zero. If he could pass the graduation exam of King City College next year, he would already be a genius.
So, Ning Bing said, "Big brother, although Søren has turned over a new leaf, he has fallen behind too much in both literature and martial arts courses. It is really difficult for him to pass the graduation exam of King City College this year."
"Hmph." Suo Hanyi sneered, "Lil Bing, don't hide it for him. With this prodigal's ability, he won't graduate in ten years. You have to think of another way."
Suo Ningbing was silent for a moment, and nodded, "Big brother, I know."
Suo Hanyi said, "Remember, Søren must graduate successfully in a few years and inherit the title. If it is delayed until next year, the high-ranking lords in Tianshui City will definitely rebel. "
"Yes." Suo Ningbing bowed.
…
Suo Hanyi said, "Things are over, I have to rush back to Tianshui City immediately."
Ning Bing said, "Big brother, don't you want to stay one night before leaving?"
Suo Hanyi said, "This is a matter of great importance, I can't delay for even a moment."
Ning Bing said, "Then at least eat before leaving. I will go cook for big brother."
Suo Hanyi shook his head, "No, prepare a few meat pies for me to eat on the road."
Then, he put on his helmet and was about to leave.
"Okay." Ning Bing's eyes were wet, and she said softly, "Big brother, thank you. Without you, I really don't know what to do!"
Suo Hanyi trembled, and looked at Suo Ningbing with a gentle and fiery gaze, saying, "Silly, you know that big brother is willing to do anything for you, even give up his life."
Suo Ningbing was stung by his gaze and avoided it unnaturally, while the hairs on the back of Lan Ling's neck almost stood up, like a lion whose territory had been invaded.
After a quarter of an hour, the meat pies were ready, and Suo Ningbing wrapped them in oiled paper layer by layer, and then put them on the warhorse's bag.
"Søren, you unfilial son, remember this, don't go out and cause trouble in the future, listen to your sister, understand?" Before leaving, Suo Hanyi scolded Lan Ling coldly.
Lan Ling frowned, and said, "Of course I will listen to my sister, I don't need you to tell me."
Lan Ling was a person with a very strong personality since childhood. When others were good to him, he would be very shy and pure, but when others were not good to him, he would be like a thorn.
And Suo Hanyi thought that he was repeating his old habits, and scolded in a low voice, "A dog can't stop eating sh * t."
Then, he walked out of the Count's Mansion, mounted a fine horse, and galloped away. Suo Ningbing bowed to his back.
…
"Little brother, you have been wronged," Suo Ningbing said, "big brother is just sad that Søren is not competitive, he has no ill intentions."
Lan Ling said, "It's okay that he has a bad attitude towards me, but I just don't like the way he looks at you."
Suo Ningbing's face turned red. She was not completely unaware of Suo Hanyi's feelings, and Suo Hanyi had always been very restrained in his feelings.
"In short, big brother is very loyal to father, loyal to the family. Before you grow up, he is our family's pillar." Suo Ningbing said, "So, you have to rely on him, and deal with big brother well, understand?"
Lan Ling said in a muffled voice, "I understand, but no matter who, as long as they have ambitions towards you, I will not allow it."
Hearing Lan Ling's naive and overbearing words, Suo Ningbing's face turned even redder. For a moment, she did not know whether to be shy or happy, or faintly worried. After all, Lan Ling at this time was playing the role of her biological brother.
Immediately, Suo Ningbing said softly, "Don't worry, big sister will be by your side for the rest of my life, I will not marry again."
"In the future, I will marry you openly." Lan Ling almost blurted it out, but in the end, he did not say it, because he felt that he was not strong enough to protect his sister.
Suo Ningbing was married before, and her husband's family was very prominent and detached. But after less than a year of marriage, they divorced, and Suo Ningbing returned to her parents' home alone, which was criticized.
As for the specific reason for the divorce, Lan Ling did not know. Because this was his sister's sad matter, he did not ask. He felt that as long as the two of them had a deep relationship to a certain extent, his sister would definitely open her heart to him.
Thinking of what Suo Hanyi had said just now, that Søren could not graduate smoothly, so if he wanted to inherit the title, he had to think of another way. Lan Ling could not help but ask, "Suo Hanyi said that another way, what is it?"
Suo Ningbing said softly, "Generally, it's something like bribery. Little brother, don't feel pressured, just continue to study at the same pace as before, big sister will take care of it."
At this time, Lan Ling could not wait to immediately increase his martial arts, successfully pass the Royal City graduation examination, and smoothly inherit the title.
…
The next day, Suo Ningbing went out, and brought with her three thin contracts. These three contracts were for a manor, a pawnshop, and a shop, worth a total of more than ten thousand gold coins.
More than ten thousand gold coins did not seem like a lot, but in fact, it was already a huge amount of wealth.
The gold coins in this world were more than an inch and a half in diameter, and weighed about eighty grams. Such a gold coin was equivalent to about fifty silver coins, or more than ten thousand copper coins. If converted to Earth's Renminbi, one gold coin was equivalent to ten or twenty thousand Renminbi.
Moreover, this was almost the last property of the Count's residence in the Royal City, but Suo Ningbing did not have the slightest reluctance, and directly brought these three contracts to the Duke's residence in Yingting to bribe.
The Duke of Yingting was the King's youngest brother, and was greatly favored by the King. This person did not like to be involved in power, but liked to eat, drink, and enjoy life. He was very attached to money and wealth. Therefore, to get him to do something for you was very simple, just bribe him with enough gold coins.
Moreover, this person would definitely do his job after receiving the money, and his reputation was very good.
Originally, Suo Ningbing planned to delay Lan Ling's participation in the Royal City Academy's examination for a year, but the situation in Tianshui City was very dangerous now, so it was urgent for Lan Ling to inherit the title and return to Tianshui City. But in everyone's view, Lan Ling wanting to pass the Royal City graduation examination this year was completely a pipe dream, so Suo Ningbing had to take out the last property of the Count's residence to bribe Duke Yingting.
In the magnificent Duke's residence, Suo Ningbing soon met Duke Yingting.
