With a "bang", a tea bowl was thrown to the ground and smashed to pieces.

"Who can tell me what happened?"

Fan Jiangong's face was a bit hideous.

Hou Diaosi, who was standing beside Fan Jiangong, was frightened and hurriedly called a maid to come forward to pick up the pieces of the tea bowl.

Under the hall, Ma Yichao quietly glanced at Ning Ting.

At present, the only ones who can be used by Fan Jiangong are left.

Ning Ting frowned, and only then did he improve. Who would have thought that something went wrong with Feng Yuan.

Seeing that no one responded to him, Fan Jiangong slapped the handrail and said angrily: "Are you all dead? There is not even a word?"

Ma Yichao was shocked and knelt down and said, "Don't rest assured, this southern expedition is directed by Feng Shuai himself. We really don't know what happened in this!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Ning Teng and winked at him.

Ning Ting understood what Ma Yichao meant.

A wave of contempt arose in his heart, and a sad look on his face Ning Wei bowed her hand and said to Fan Jiangong: "Your Majesty, my family master suddenly suffered this disaster. I am very sad. At this moment, it is also a mess and has no clue."

Fan Jiangong looked at Ning Teng, his face calmed down a little. After sighing, he said, "General Ma, get up. I am not angry with you and General Ning. It's just that this matter is too sudden and I'm not prepared at all. Therefore, I'm so angry that I'm confused. The two generals, please sit down and discuss!"

After saying that, he looked at Ning Ting and asked, "General Ning, the reason why I am angry is that I regret Mr. Jia's departure, but the matter has happened, it is better to find out the truth as soon as possible and avenge Mr. Jia. As Mr. Jia's beloved disciple, you should turn grief into strength, seize the real murderer, and comfort Mr. Jia's spirit in the sky. You should think about it carefully. With Mr. Jia's ability, who can take his life? But someone has a personal grudge with Mr. Jia, so he takes this opportunity to kill him secretly?"

Jia Nanfeng's death was indeed beyond Ning Ting's expectations. He originally thought that everything was in Jia Nanfeng's plan. In the future, he would make a decision on Jia Nanfeng or not, or he would not choose to become Fan Jiangong, and he would really become Fan Jiangong. However, it depends on whether Fan Jiangong has the strength worth choosing.

But now...

He seemed to have no choice.

With a light sigh, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are right. I am puzzled about the death of my family master. Feng Shuai's letter did not describe this matter in detail, and I can't make any judgment at the moment. Besides, with my master's skills, who can take his life in Bazhou? And with Feng Shuai and my three junior brothers, how could such a thing happen?"

After a little pause, he continued, "King, as far as I know, although the nine sects have always been in a state of open and secret struggle, they will not take action directly like this. Moreover, with my master's skills, those who can kill him can only be attacked by the leaders of each sect."

Fan Jiangong pointed out, "In this way, someone else who killed Mr. Jia should be someone else."

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suddenly slapped the case in front of him and said, "I understand!"

Ma Yichao hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you know?"

Ning Ting was also stunned.

Fan Jiangong put his hands on the desk, moved forward slightly, and said to Ning Ting and Ma Yichao: "It must be the purpose of the people in the Deer Cutting Tower. Think about it, who is behind Yuan Xi?"

After saying that, Fan Jiangong nodded and said, "It must be like this, General Ning, think about it, has Yuan Xi's master not appeared yet? If you can teach a disciple like Yuan Xi, his master must be a top master."

After saying that, he said regretfully: "Mr. Jia can be said to be completely clear, but he neglected this matter."

Ning Ting's heart moved slightly.

He naturally knew who was the real person in the Deer-Chasing Tower, but Fan Jiangong's words reminded him.

Maybe this is really possible.

Or maybe there was a way to notice Jia Nanfeng's thoughts and tear his face apart in advance, but he was picked up by Pingnan City.

After all, there is also a backup plan to deal with Lu Yiping, and it is naturally much easier to deal with Lu Yiping than Jia Nanfeng, who has the support of the King of Shu.

After pondering for a while, he slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, it is very likely that as you said, Yuan Xi's master appeared in Pingnan City. Otherwise, Feng Shuai would not have been captured alive by Lu Yiping, resulting in Feng Shuai's army returning in vain."

Fan Jiangong nodded and looked at Ma Yichao and asked, "General Ma, where should Feng Shuai's army arrive at this time?"

Ma Yichao, who had been unable to interfere, hurriedly saluted Fan Jiangong and said, "Return to the king, I just received the news an hour ago that Feng Shuai's army was led by his deputy general Fu Shou, and now it is only a hundred miles away from Ziyang City."

"Fu Shou?"

Fan Jiangong lowered his head and thought about it. He had never noticed what Feng Yuan's subordinate looked like before.

He had some impression of this person's name. I think Feng Yuan had introduced this person to him, but he didn't care.

After nodding, Fan Jiangong asked again: "So, Feng Yuan is still in Lu Yiping's hands?"

"Yes, Lord!"

Ma Yichao hesitated for a moment and continued, "Master Wang, within one day, Feng Shuai's army will arrive outside Ziyang City. Should we make some preparations?"

"Preparation? What preparations? Are you welcomed Feng Yuan back in triumphant return?"

Fan Jiangong snorted coldly and said, "This is how Feng Yuan has just taken the position of commander to repay my favor with me? I can't figure it out. He just agreed to Lu Yiping withdrew his troops so happily?"

In fact, in Fan Jiangong's mind, if it were Feng Yuan, he would be more willing to accept it.

At this time, Ning Wei said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Feng Yuan and Lu Yiping had a great friendship back then. When Lu Yiping was able to become a defender in the city so quickly, he still borrowed Feng Yuan's east wind."

"Yes, I know about this matter. The father's appearance was indeed because Feng Yuan was so fond of Lu Yiping."

Fan Jiangong thought, then he showed a sudden look on his face and said with hatred: "I finally understand. No wonder Mr. Jia suffered this disaster. It seems that both of me and Mr. Jia were deceived by him Feng Yuan."

He cursed Fan Jiangong in his heart and said that Ning Wei's eyes were slightly moved. It seemed that he would be better off working with him there.

After hearing Fan Jiangong say this, Ma Yichao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what I just said about the preparation is exactly what I mean."

"oh?"

Fan Jiangong looked at Ma Yichao and asked, "Can General Ma discover something?"

Ma Yichao took a deep breath and said, "The King, Feng Shuai sent someone to send two letters to the royal palace. The first letter was written by Feng Shuai himself. In the letter, he clearly stated that Lu Yiping chose to surrender to you, and he took Pingnan City without any blood. The second letter explains to you the truth. Judging from these two letters, it is very strange and full of loopholes. If he was captured by Lu Yiping alive, even if Fu Shuai was afraid of being a mouse, he should report the truth to the king as soon as possible. But Fu Shuai did not do this, then it means that he must have been instructed by Feng Yuan."

He picked up Hou Diaosi and poured himself the tea again. Fan Jiangong nodded while drinking it, and then said to Ma Yichao: "General Ma is right, you can continue talking."

Ma Yichao, who had just picked up the teacup, nodded, and didn't bother to take a sip and continued, "Your Majesty, after receiving the first letter, I sent someone to inquire about the news. At that time, Feng Shuai's army had retreated to Quanshui Town."

"And this second letter was handed over by Fu Shou to my people and brought back to Ziyang City. At that time, Feng Shuai was not in his own army."

"Thus, it shows a problem, that is, Feng Yuan knew that the incident of Lu Yiping surrendering to the king was not tenable, because he did not expect that I would send someone to his army so soon to find out the news."

"Besides, I personally advise the sent people to see Mr. Jia..."

Ning Ting glanced at Ma Yichao.

He is worthy of being an official for many years.

At this time, Ning Wei said: "Master, what we need to do now is to defend Ziyang City first. If Feng Yuan's army does not retreat, our Ziyang City will be in danger."

When Fan Jiangong heard this, he was shocked and sweated.

He only thought of Feng Yuan's rebellion alone, but he forgot that there were more than 10,000 people under Feng Yuan's command.

After thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Ning Ting, maybe we have misunderstandings about Feng Shuai? Don't forget that if it weren't for Feng Shuai's help that night, even if I were the legitimate King of Shuai, I might not have been able to succeed the throne so safely..."

"The King~"

Ning Ting interrupted Fan Jiangong, "Don't forget that the person who really contributed that night, but I, Ning Ting, and my master, think about it, is it because my master is protecting you that he dare not act rashly?"

"With that being said, …"

At this moment, Fan Jiangong seemed to have no idea, but in his heart, he was a little reluctant to admit that Feng Yuan betrayed him.

Because if this is true, he would not even have the courage to speak on the throne at this moment.

He sighed heavily, and he shook his head and said, "But if he intentionally did not benefit me, when I and him returned to the capital from near Liangcheng, he could take action. Why wait until now?"

Ning Wei shook his head and said, "Master, as long as the person behind Yuan Xi does not show up, he will not dare to expose himself. Besides, letting him take the charge of killing the prince may not convince the public. But it is different now. Now that my master has been killed, he has nothing to be afraid of. If I guess correctly, after arriving in Ziyang City, they will force the king to give way. In this way, they can support Fan Liye as the King of Shu with justification."

After hearing Ning Ting's mention of Fan Liye, Fan Jiangong was so angry that he was filled with smoke from his seven orifices.

Without him, so many things wouldn't have happened.

He looked at Ning Teng, and asked, "Ning Teng, what do you think we should do now?"

Ning Wei looked at Ma Yichao who was sitting opposite him, chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, now we should fight for Feng Yuan's troops first, otherwise, even if the gods come, your throne will not be preserved."

Ma Yichao also said to Fan Jiangong: "Your Majesty, General Ning is right. At present, there are only five thousand men and eight thousand men in Ziyang City and General Ning's 8,000 men and general Ning's command. Moreover, General Ning's command is full of new soldiers. Needless to say, whether Lu Yiping sent troops here, just based on Feng Yuan's more than 10,000 men, it is not something we can resist. Therefore, for the sake of the present, only by instigating Fu Shou, we have a chance of victory."

Ning Ting looked at Ma Yichao again and said nothing.

At this time, you are still trying to win the merits. Just rely on your ability. I will give you all the merits. Do you dare to take them?

Ma Yichao's background has been carefully investigated.

He recruited soldiers in Ziyang City, in addition to forming his own city defense force, he also secretly recruited people from the world.

Of course, Fan Jiangong gave him this matter.

Originally, before Fan Jiangong succeeded to the throne, there were several disciples who had cleared guests in front of him, but the people who followed him were just a little skill in three-legged cats. It was okay to run errands, but it was embarrassing to have a great task.

After experiencing this storm of winning the throne, Fan Jiangong deeply realized that if he did not raise a group of masters around him, he would sooner or later end up like his father.

He handed the task to Ning Teng.

He was not afraid that Ning Ting would be unfavorable to him, because he knew that even if Ning Ting killed him, he would not get any benefits, but he could give what Ning Ting wanted.

Moreover, he also plans to appoint Jia Nanfeng as prime minister.

As a king, what he is best at is the art of controlling people.

Ning Wei, as the direct descendant of Qingyun Sect, was in a high position. After his call, some people from second-rate sects and some martial artists from the martial arts world came one after another, and naturally there were also people who were just making up for the numbers. Ning Wei did not refuse anyone, and after careful selection, he left behind fifteen people.

The basic condition for him to choose someone is his internal strength.

If you have never practiced internal strength, no matter how beautiful you punch, you are just a fancy style.
