Teleporting this magic skill from the air is not a powerful attack power. It just sends people out of thin air to another space. Therefore, in this era where force is the most important, there are not many people who can learn this magic skill. Moreover, the masters who practice this magic skill to the most can only teleport five people to a hundred miles away, and the distance of one person is no more than five hundred miles away. However, the power of many masters together is great, and they can completely teleport a person thousands of miles away.
The guards who chased the killers were afraid of this. Although the main goal of these killers assassinating the emperor was not achieved, if the emperor was abducted from his favorite woman and his furious emperor, their heads would probably be difficult to protect.
The emperor, who was following the guards, was anxious. How could his woman tolerate others to get involved?
But once it falls into their hands, how can she maintain her perfect body with her beauty?
Instead of letting others insult her, she might as well let her die with innocence.
So at that moment, the emperor wanted to kill his beloved concubine, but he couldn't do this for a while. After all, she was still her beloved woman.
Just when the emperor was in a dilemma, Nangong Qiang appeared because the killer kidnapped the imperial concubine and happened to pass through the area where he was patrolling. Nangong Qiang directed his soldiers to quickly surround the killer and put psychological pressure on him. At the same time, he climbed onto a barley tree to hide. The naked tree was on a path that the killer must pass.
When the killer hijacked the imperial concubine by the tree, Nangong Qiang jumped down from the tree and waved his palm toward the killer.
As an intermediate officer of the imperial guards, Nangong Qiang's martial arts skills are not weak, and the killer was already exhausted after a fight. In addition, the psychological pressure caused by being surrounded by a large number of soldiers greatly reduced his attack and reaction. Therefore, as the other party grew, Nangong Qiang's sneak attack was a hit in one blow, knocking down the killer and saving the imperial concubine!
Therefore, the emperor was very happy and the imperial concubine was even more grateful. From then on, Nangong Qiang rose to prominence, from a small intermediate officer to the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, and then to the commander of the Imperial Army.
After he became an official, he took his two brothers and one younger brother to Jing'an City and inserted it into the officialdom.
Gradually, after generations of efforts, the power of the Nangong family became increasingly greater, especially in the third generation, Nangong Xiao, the grandfather of the young master of Nangong. He loved martial arts since he was a child, and he was extremely smart. At a young age, he had already mastered the martial arts of his family. By the time he was twenty years old, he had become the number one person in the family's martial arts.
In order to get to the next level of martial arts, he used his good relationship with the royal family to often go to the palace's collection hall and read a large number of martial arts secrets. If it were ordinary people, let alone a large number of martial arts secrets, even a martial arts secret can not be fully understood and understood in his whole life. However, Nangong Xiao, with his genius understanding of martial arts, he had thoroughly understood a martial arts secret in a very short time.
In this way, within a few years, he became the top master on the mainland.
What's even more amazing is that after studying many martial arts secrets, he created a new martial art: the Void Divine Art.
Nangong Xiao was recognized by the martial arts world as the most powerful martial arts person with this Xunwei divine skill.
In addition, his ability to arrange troops was also very outstanding. Relying on these two things, Nangong Xiao achieved the highest official position in the family's history: Sima General Cavalry, and was also named Zhennan Hou, in charge of nearly half of the country's troops.
Nangong Xiao had outstanding military achievements throughout his life. Before him, the Huatang Empire suffered a lot of war because the Huatang Empire was located in the Central Land. On the east side was the Donglu Haiwang Xia Empire, the Xilusm Empire to the west, the Nanlu Mosha Empire to the south, and the Beilu Hanhe Empire to the north.
The Huatang Empire was surrounded by four countries and had borders with each country. With borders, there was naturally border friction. Therefore, border wars broke out one after another, and almost every country wanted to invade Huatang, which forced the Huatang Empire to attack from all sides, and sometimes even suffered from enemies from both sides.
In this way, under the war of years, the emperor of the Huatang Empire wanted to develop the economy and could not make any moves to enrich the national strength. Therefore, Huatang's national strength was greatly consumed, the economy was weak, and the people were in trouble!
Just as the national strength of the Huatang Empire became increasingly sad, Nangong Xiao appeared. His first troops were leading the war at the age of 22. At that time, he led 50,000 troops to prevent the invasion of the 200,000 troops of the Beilu Hanhe Kingdom. At that time, almost everyone thought it was tantamount to going to die, especially Nangong Xiao's mother, who cried in front of his father with tears and tears, asking him to plead with the emperor and take back his life. Although his father was in the same mood, he was helpless.
Huatang fought for years, and the troops were already insufficient. He had to send troops to garrison all directions, and only 50,000 soldiers could be given.
In addition, when the emperor asked the generals who could lead troops to prevent the Hanhe Kingdom from invading, no one answered the order!
The emperor couldn't help but be furious. At this time, Nangong Xiao took the initiative to stand up and expressed his willingness to lead troops to fight. The emperor turned anger into joy. Therefore, if the emperor took back Cheng Ming, it would definitely offend Long Yan, and might bring disaster to the entire family.
However, what surprised everyone was that Nangong Xiao only took half a month to deal with Hanhe Kingdom three times, destroying nearly 180,000 troops from the other side, driving them back to Hanhe Kingdom, forcing the emperor of Hanhe Kingdom to send a letter of peace.
In the following time, Nangong Xiao became more and more braver in the battle, defeating Hanhe Kingdom, Smeng Kingdom, Sea King Xia Kingdom and Magic Kingdom, which made them dare not invade again. From then on, the borders were stable, and the Huatang Empire also had the energy to free up their hands to recuperate and develop their economy.
The power of the Nangong family developed the fastest at this time. In addition to Nangong Xiao as General Sima, who was in charge of military power, he also had one of his elder brothers who became the Minister of Personnel. His three cousins and one cousin also held relatively important positions in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works respectively.
The Nangong family owns its own place in the more important military power, financial power and personnel appointment and removal power, especially military power. Therefore, the power of the Nangong family is at its peak at this time.
At this time, the Xun Ming Divine Art naturally became the most powerful family martial arts of the Nangong family. However, this magical art was only passed down to the descendants of Nangong Xiao, and it was passed down to men but not women. Therefore, although the Nangong family is now large, there is only one person who knows this magical art, that is, Nangong Xiao's son, that is, the father of the Nangong Young Master: Nangong Lingkong.
Nangong Lingkong is currently the head of the Nangong family. He inherited the Marquis of Zhennan. He also succeeded his father's position during his lifetime: General Sima and Cavalry, who was in charge of nearly half of the country's troops.
Although his military talents are not as outstanding as his father Nangong Xiao, his martial arts are fully understood, and naturally he became the most powerful person in the martial arts world after his father.
Nangong Lingkong has three sons. The young master Nangong is his youngest son, named Nangong Xiuqi. This man has been very smart since childhood and is very similar to his grandfather Nangong Xiao in this regard. His two brothers are relatively mediocre in qualifications, so it is difficult to completely appreciate the essence of the Xunwei magic skill, so Nangong Lingkong placed almost all his hopes on his youngest son.
However, what disappointed Nangong Lingkong was that although Nangong Xiuqi had the talent of his grandfather, he did not have the diligence of his. He also flirted with flowers and did things outside and became an absolute playboy.
In this regard, Nangong Lingkong was disappointed, but there was no effective way to make Nangong Xiuqi calm down and study and practice martial arts seriously, because he had a grandmother who loved him very much. Whenever Nangong Lingkong made up his mind to discipline this naughty son, his mother, Nangong Xiuqi's grandmother, would come forward to protect his grandson. In addition, Nangong Lingkong also felt sorry for his son's absence from his mother's love since he was born. Therefore, he did not have the heart to regulate him too strictly.
As long as he didn't make too much trouble, Nangong Lingkong turned a blind eye.
As for the inheritance of the Xun Ming Divine Art, he thought that after the past two years, he would become older. Perhaps this naughty boy would become better and he would spread his Xun Ming Divine Art well.
However, Nangong Lingkong still felt that it was not a solution for him to continue like this, and he had to give him some things to do. So when he was in court today, he asked the emperor to allow him to take Nangong Xiuqi to court to listen to politics and discuss matters tomorrow, so that he could learn more.
The emperor naturally agreed to his request.
Nangong Lingkong was quite happy. He immediately returned to the mansion after the court, asking Nangong Xiuqi to prepare and go to the court to follow the government tomorrow in a good state.
However, when he returned home, he found that the kid had not come back yet while playing outside. He couldn't help but be furious and immediately asked Butler Mo to go out and find Nangong Xiuqi back.
The sky was getting darker, but Nangong Xiuqi had not returned to the house yet. Nangong Lingkong, who was reviewing official documents in the study, couldn't help but frown again, stopped the pen in his hand, and said in a deep voice: Why haven't Qi'er come back yet?
The close-fitting golden armored guard standing beside him bowed and said, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"
Nangong Lingkong was about to nod and agreed, when he suddenly heard a clear voice from outside: Please see the Marquis!
The iron-armored guards came in. There were three personal guards beside Nangong Lingkong, namely the golden-armored guards, the silver-armored guards and the iron-armored guards. Each of them was a first-class master in the martial arts world, but they all felt guilty about Nangong Lingkong's martial arts and minds, and willingly gave up the opportunity to become famous in the martial arts world and stayed by his side as a servant.
Report to the Marquis, Ximen Wuhui and his party have arrived in Jing'an, and now they live in the vassal hall under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites.
Oh, they came quite quickly.
Nangong Lingkong stroked his beard and said: How many people are there in total?
In addition to Ximen Wuhui, there is also his daughter Ximen Wuyue, and there are two accompanying servants, with only four people in total.
Well, I got it!
I have another thing to report to the Marquis.As he said that, the Iron Armored Guard told Nangong Lingkong about the details of what happened in the restaurant.
After hearing this, Nangong Lingkong slapped the case and said angrily: Summon a little beast, bullying men and women outside all day long, causing trouble, I am so angry!
Yo, what's wrong?What makes you so angry?I heard you outside.
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful, luxurious, beautiful and refined beauty appeared at the door of the study.
I saw her beautiful face and light body. At this moment, a breeze blew by, carrying her skirt up, like a fairy descending to earth.
A black black hair is tied into a tall Yaotai bun, tied with a flying phoenix jade hairpin wrapped in golden silk, which is extremely elegant!
There are colorful pearls and jade hanging on the flying phoenix jade hairpin. The flawless pearl at the bottom is just hanging from the center of her eyebrows, and it is like her two dark eyebrows that are like crescent moon and bright eyes that are as bright as each other, forming a glittering momentum!
The beautiful beauty was wearing a double-breasted peach-rose flower jacket on the upper body, a lilac brocade and Baidou Palace Clothing on the outside, and a double skirt with a yellow-green pattern on the lower body, with a string of beads and jade tied to the skirt, which made a pleasant pearly sound as her every move.
She has a slender figure, graceful curves, elegant lotus steps, and a wide range of charm. She is truly a magnificent and peerless!This woman is the wife married by Nangong Lingkong, Princess Clin, the stepmother of Nangong Xiuqi.
She was nearly thirty years younger than Nangong Lingkong. She was recognized as the most beautiful princess in the royal family back then. She had countless princes and ministers, and the princes and young masters of the royal nobles had pursued her, but she didn't like them. She just passed by twenty-five years old and she didn't get married.
You should know that in Huatang Kingdom, women of this age can definitely be considered over-age women. Ordinary girls get married after they are eighteen years old, and some even get married as other women at the age of sixteen. The latest one is not over twenty years old. Princess Clin has been 25 years old and is still in the boudoir. This makes many people feel incredible, so some people think that Princess Clin has any physical or psychological problems, because even the emperor's daughter does not have to worry about marrying, and it cannot be delayed until now. There are no other princesses in the royal family who have not been married after they are over twenty years old.
But strangely, the Empress Dowager and other royal members were very anxious in the face of her reluctance to marry her. However, her brother, the current emperor, did not take this seriously at all, and even gave people the feeling that he did not want to marry the most beautiful princess and the most beautiful sister. Whenever someone proposed marriage to Princess Clin, he always refused mercilessly. Many of them were young talents with prominent families, which made many people unable to understand, especially the Empress Dowager, who blamed the emperor's son for being too inappropriate and did not think about his sister at all.
However, the emperor always answered the Empress Dowager with a sentence: Clint herself doesn't want me, and I can't help but Ah.
In fact, Clin was indeed unwilling. Although the Empress Dowager was anxious, Clin herself was unwilling. The Emperor also supported her, and the Empress Dowager had no choice.
It was not until Princess Clin was twenty-six years old that she suddenly announced that she would marry Nangong Lingkong, and it was less than a year since Nangong Lingkong's ex-wife passed away.
This news was nothing short of explosive news at the time. Many people who didn't understand it suddenly realized at this time, thinking that this was an important means for the emperor to win over the Nangong family. At the same time, they also believed that only the Nangong family's prominent status could be worthy of the beautiful Princess Clin.
However, some people think that the age difference between them is too big. The gap between them is nearly thirty years old enough to make Nangong Lingkong be Clin's father. If the gap is within fifteen years old, it would be perfect. This is also the idea in the heart of the empress dowager. However, in general, the gap between them is nearly thirty years old is not too horrifying. Moreover, Nangong Lingkong is also an important minister of the country and a dragon among people. Therefore, this marriage is beneficial to both the royal family and the Nangong family at least on the surface.
As soon as he saw his beautiful wife, Nangong Lingkong's anger seemed to disappear a lot. He shook his head and sighed: Alas, he is not that little beast. He is causing trouble for me all day long, and he is really angry!
Clin smiled, then raised his jade hand and waved at the two guards. The two guards bowed and retreated.
Clin walked behind the chair, stretched out her slender jade fingers, pressed them on Nangong Lingkong's temple, and gently massaged them on it and said: Lingkong, don't be too angry. Qi'er is still young, and it's normal for a child to play at home!
Still a little Ah?It’s nineteenth, and it’s time to make achievements.But he, let alone making achievements, didn’t even learn a little of his skills. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, which was so inappropriate!
Don’t worry, Qi'er is very smart. As long as he is willing to learn, he will learn everything quickly.
Smart means intelligence, but smartness does not need to be on the right path.
Nangong Lingkong sighed again, reached out and gently grabbed Princess Clin's pair of tender gums that were massaged by him, pulled her to her, then held her thin waist and said: You Ah, you spoil him even more than his mother.
Princess Clin sat sideways on his legs, wrapped her arms around his neck, and raised her mouth slightly and said: Can you not spoil him?He is the old lady's heart.If I treat him badly and he goes to the old lady to sue me, then I will not bear the bad reputation of the evil stepmother...
Haha, you Ah!
Nangong Lingkong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He loved his wife who was nearly 30 years younger than him, so that now he only had the only woman Princess Clin in his eyes. He ignored the concubines of the past.
In fact, according to the royal regulations, in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family, as long as you marry a princess, you cannot take a concubine again. Even if you want to take a concubine, you must obtain the princess’ consent.
Nangong Lingkong had already taken many concubines before marrying the princess. If the princess was married, all of these concubines would have to be dismissed. However, Nangong Lingkong was an important official of the country. The emperor issued a special order without dismissing the concubines, and he also allowed him to continue to take concubines in the future. But Nangong Lingkong let alone take concubines, he rarely paid attention to the concubines in the past, and his thoughts on women were completely devoted to Princess Clin.
The two were teasing softly, and a messy footsteps and noise suddenly came from outside the door. Nangong Lingkong smiled bitterly and let go of his hand that was holding Princess Clin's slender waist. He knew that the little beast was back because only he dared to be so ignorant and ruled in front of him.
Sure enough, the voice of the golden armored guards sounded outside the door: Young Master, you are back, the Marquis is waiting for you in the study.
knew!
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Xiuqi pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that Princess Clin was also here, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It would be impossible for Nangong Xiuqi to have no idea about this beautiful stepmother, but after all, Princess Clin is his stepmother. No matter how lustful he is or how he makes trouble, he will not dare to touch his father's woman Ah!
Besides, he didn't want to. Although he was the only one in the mansion who dared to shout in front of his father and was rude, from the bottom of his heart, he still respected his father very much, and of course he also knew that his father loved him the most.
How many times have I told you that you have to knock on the door before coming in? Why do you always have no memory?Nangong Lingkong glared at Nangong Xiuqi and said.
Nangong Xiuqi smiled and grabbed his hair and said: I forgot for a while, I will pay attention next time!
Nangong Lingkong has heard this answer less than ten times before. He knew that he would definitely come in like this next time, and he still answered the same way, so he stopped messing around with this question. The topic changed: What good things did you do outside today?
No, I didn't do anything good...
Nangong Xiuqi muttered: Just play!
Play?You only know how to play all day long, but this time you almost lost all your life, right?Speaking of this, Nangong Lingkong's anger that was previously relieved by Princess Clin, couldn't help but rise again. Princess Clin, who was standing beside him, saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried forward to smooth things over and said: Oh, Lingkong, if you have something to say, why are you angry?
Nangong Xiuqi threw herself to Princess Clin and smiled gratefully, then said embarrassedly: Dad, do you know everything?
Humph, don’t you even know the good things you did outside?
Nangong Lingkong said angrily: I know everything in my heart. I usually don’t bother to talk about you, but I didn’t expect you to become more lawless.How about it?I learned a lesson this time, right?
Dad, that Ximen Wuhui is too arrogant. He relies on his ability to meddle in other people's business, and doesn't look at what this is?It’s so annoying that we don’t take our Nangong family seriously!But it doesn’t matter. I have already asked someone to search the whole city. I believe that it will not take long before I can find him and give him a good look!
After hearing this, Nangong Lingkong became even more angry. He angrily scolded: Bastard, can you do something else besides this?Do you know who that Ximen Wuming is?Can you make people look good even by you?
Nangong Xiuqi was dissatisfied and said: Why don’t I know?Isn't it just a few blue lights?What's so great about it?As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. When I bring a few more people, I will definitely make him look good!
Nangong Ling's air stood up from the chair, pointed at Nangong Xiuqi and said to Princess Clin: Look, this bastard still doesn't repent after suffering a loss.
Hehe, Qi'er is still young, and it is inevitable that he is a little more young and energetic.Princess Clin persuaded with a chuckling.
Nangong Lingkong walked to Nangong Xiuqi and stared at him for a while. His eyes contained a little love, a little helplessness, and a little anger. After a while, he said: Let me tell you the truth. Ximen Wuhui secretly came to Jing'an from Fenghai, the capital of the Sea King Xia, at the invitation of the court. He is now living in the vassal hall.If you rashly take someone to trouble him and make the city full of storms, don’t say that I can’t forgive you, even the court will punish you for leaking secrets.
Ah…
Nangong Xiuqi was shocked and his momentum suddenly became much weaker.
Then, I won't look for him...
Nangong Lingkong shook his head and said: You just don’t look for him, you will still cause trouble for me when you are outside.I have already asked for a report in front of the emperor and asked me to take you into the court to listen to the affairs of the government. The emperor has already approved the report.You get up early tomorrow and go to morning court with me.
Ah!Dad, don't you?
Nangong Xiuqi said with a bitter face: Why should I go to the morning court?I don’t have one official position, I can’t do anything, and I don’t have to go!
You also know that you can't do anything...
Nangong Lingkong said angrily: It is because of this that I asked you to go to the court to listen to the government and see how the emperor and the ministers manage this country. It will be good for you and save you from causing trouble for me all day outside.
Dad, I...
When Nangong Xiuqi wanted to say something else, Nangong Lingkong interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said: OK, stop talking, this matter is settled, you go back to your own house.
Nangong Xiuqi knew that the old man had decided, and it was useless to say more, so he had to retreat in disappointment.
Fusheng, who was waiting outside the door, saw him coming out and hurriedly came forward and said: Young Master, what's wrong with you?
Don’t mention it, the old man didn’t know something was wrong and insisted that I go to the morning court with him tomorrow. Alas, I have nothing to play in the future!Nangong Xiuqi said as he walked towards his house dejectedly.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Fusheng didn't dare to say anything more, so he just followed him tightly.
Nangong Xiuqi lived in Yixianglou, which is a two-story exquisite attic with carved beams and high eaves.
What makes this loft unique is that it is not built on the land, but in an artificial lake. It has no foundation and is supported by wooden stakes as thick as bowls under the water.
Around it is the rippling lake water, and the lake is full of lotus flowers. The breeze blows by and the fragrance is swaying, so this building is named Yixiang Tower.
A winding white jade bridge connects the attic with the ground. On the other side of the lake is a small garden. Nangong Xiuqi took Fusheng and just walked through the garden path and were about to step onto the stone bridge, a figure emerged from the depths of the garden. Lan was in front of Nangong Xiuqi, which scared him. Just as he was about to hide behind Fusheng, he found that this person was just the gardener Liu in the garden.
Hello, Old Man Liu, what are you doing?Sneaky, trying to scare people!Nangong Xiuqi said annoyedly.
Sorry, young master, the young master didn’t mean to scare the young master.Speaking of this, Old Man Liu knelt down with a plop and said: I just want to thank the young master. Not only did I let the little girl come to the mansion to do things, I also gave us some money, such a great kindness...
OK OK OK.
Nangong Xiuqi interrupted him and said: Just ask your daughter to serve me well in the future.After saying that, Nangong Xiuqi walked around Old Man Liu who was kneeling in front of him and stepped onto the stone bridge and walked towards Yixiang Tower.
Yes, the youngest must instruct the little girl to serve the young master well.Old man Liu knelt there and said to Nangong Xiuqi's back.
In fact, when he first heard the news that his daughter was raped by Nangong Xiuqi, he felt dizzy and grief and angry. However, when he further learned that Nangong Xiuqi did not kick her away after raped his daughter, he gave her a sum of money and asked her to go into the mansion to be a personal maid, this made Old Man Liu turn sadness into joy.
Because of their poor background, being able to be a maid in the Nangong family, the young master who served the Nangong family was already a good destination. If he could give birth to a man and a half daughter for the young master, then he would have climbed the branches and turned into a phoenix.
So now Old Man Liu is full of gratitude to Nangong Xiuqi, grateful that he is not as good as the girls he has raped before, and he ignores his eyes and leaves after he finishes his work.
When they returned to Yixiang Tower, the two maids immediately stepped forward, serving tea, and delivering water. After serving, Nangong Xiuqi waved to them and said: Okay, you go down, I'll go upstairs and rest for a while.
Fusheng and the two maids bowed together and said: Yes!
The guards who chased the killers were afraid of this. Although the main goal of these killers assassinating the emperor was not achieved, if the emperor was abducted from his favorite woman and his furious emperor, their heads would probably be difficult to protect.
The emperor, who was following the guards, was anxious. How could his woman tolerate others to get involved?
But once it falls into their hands, how can she maintain her perfect body with her beauty?
Instead of letting others insult her, she might as well let her die with innocence.
So at that moment, the emperor wanted to kill his beloved concubine, but he couldn't do this for a while. After all, she was still her beloved woman.

Therefore, although the Nangong family is now large, there is only one person who knows this magical art, that is, Nangong Xiao's son, that is, the father of the Nangong Young Master: Nangong Lingkong.
Nangong Lingkong is currently the head of the Nangong family. He inherited the Marquis of Zhennan. He also succeeded his father's position during his lifetime: General Sima and Cavalry, who was in charge of nearly half of the country's troops.
Although his military talents are not as outstanding as his father Nangong Xiao, his martial arts are fully understood, and naturally he became the most powerful person in the martial arts world after his father.
Nangong Lingkong has three sons. The young master Nangong is his youngest son, named Nangong Xiuqi. This man has been very smart since childhood and is very similar to his grandfather Nangong Xiao in this regard. His two brothers are relatively mediocre in qualifications, so it is difficult to completely appreciate the essence of the Xunwei magic skill, so Nangong Lingkong placed almost all his hopes on his youngest son.
However, what disappointed Nangong Lingkong was that although Nangong Xiuqi had the talent of his grandfather, he did not have the diligence of his. He also flirted with flowers and did things outside and became an absolute playboy.
In this regard, Nangong Lingkong was disappointed, but there was no effective way to make Nangong Xiuqi calm down and study and practice martial arts seriously, because he had a grandmother who loved him very much. Whenever Nangong Lingkong made up his mind to discipline this naughty son, his mother, Nangong Xiuqi's grandmother, would come forward to protect his grandson. In addition, Nangong Lingkong also felt sorry for his son's absence from his mother's love since he was born. Therefore, he did not have the heart to regulate him too strictly.
As long as he didn't make too much trouble, Nangong Lingkong turned a blind eye.
As for the inheritance of the Xun Ming Divine Art, he thought that after the past two years, he would become older. Perhaps this naughty boy would become better and he would spread his Xun Ming Divine Art well.
However, Nangong Lingkong still felt that it was not a solution for him to continue like this, and he had to give him some things to do. So when he was in court today, he asked the emperor to allow him to take Nangong Xiuqi to court to listen to politics and discuss matters tomorrow, so that he could learn more.
The emperor naturally agreed to his request.
Nangong Lingkong was quite happy. He immediately returned to the mansion after the court, asking Nangong Xiuqi to prepare and go to the court to follow the government tomorrow in a good state.
However, when he returned home, he found that the kid had not come back yet while playing outside. He couldn't help but be furious and immediately asked Butler Mo to go out and find Nangong Xiuqi back.
The sky was getting darker, but Nangong Xiuqi had not returned to the house yet. Nangong Lingkong, who was reviewing official documents in the study, couldn't help but frown again, stopped the pen in his hand, and said in a deep voice: Why haven't Qi'er come back yet?
The close-fitting golden armored guard standing beside him bowed and said, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"
Nangong Lingkong was about to nod and agreed, when he suddenly heard a clear voice from outside: Please see the Marquis!
The iron-armored guards came in. There were three personal guards beside Nangong Lingkong, namely the golden-armored guards, the silver-armored guards and the iron-armored guards. Each of them was a first-class master in the martial arts world, but they all felt guilty about Nangong Lingkong's martial arts and minds, and willingly gave up the opportunity to become famous in the martial arts world and stayed by his side as a servant.
Report to the Marquis, Ximen Wuhui and his party have arrived in Jing'an, and now they live in the vassal hall under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites.
Oh, they came quite quickly.
Nangong Lingkong stroked his beard and said: How many people are there in total?
In addition to Ximen Wuhui, there is also his daughter Ximen Wuyue, and there are two accompanying servants, with only four people in total.
Well, I got it!
I have another thing to report to the Marquis.As he said that, the Iron Armored Guard told Nangong Lingkong about the details of what happened in the restaurant.
After hearing this, Nangong Lingkong slapped the case and said angrily: Summon a little beast, bullying men and women outside all day long, causing trouble, I am so angry!
Yo, what's wrong?What makes you so angry?I heard you outside.
As soon as he finished speaking, a graceful, luxurious, beautiful and refined beauty appeared at the door of the study.
I saw her beautiful face and light body. At this moment, a breeze blew by, carrying her skirt up, like a fairy descending to earth.
A black black hair is tied into a tall Yaotai bun, tied with a flying phoenix jade hairpin wrapped in golden silk, which is extremely elegant!
There are colorful pearls and jade hanging on the flying phoenix jade hairpin. The flawless pearl at the bottom is just hanging from the center of her eyebrows, and it is like her two dark eyebrows that are like crescent moon and bright eyes that are as bright as each other, forming a glittering momentum!
The beautiful beauty was wearing a double-breasted peach-rose flower jacket on the upper body, a lilac brocade and Baidou Palace Clothing on the outside, and a double skirt with a yellow-green pattern on the lower body, with a string of beads and jade tied to the skirt, which made a pleasant pearly sound as her every move.
She has a slender figure, graceful curves, elegant lotus steps, and a wide range of charm. She is truly a magnificent and peerless!This woman is the wife married by Nangong Lingkong, Princess Clin, the stepmother of Nangong Xiuqi.
She was nearly thirty years younger than Nangong Lingkong. She was recognized as the most beautiful princess in the royal family back then. She had countless princes and ministers, and the princes and young masters of the royal nobles had pursued her, but she didn't like them. She just passed by twenty-five years old and she didn't get married.
You should know that in Huatang Kingdom, women of this age can definitely be considered over-age women. Ordinary girls get married after they are eighteen years old, and some even get married as other women at the age of sixteen. The latest one is not over twenty years old. Princess Clin has been 25 years old and is still in the boudoir. This makes many people feel incredible, so some people think that Princess Clin has any physical or psychological problems, because even the emperor's daughter does not have to worry about marrying, and it cannot be delayed until now. There are no other princesses in the royal family who have not been married after they are over twenty years old.
But strangely, the Empress Dowager and other royal members were very anxious in the face of her reluctance to marry her. However, her brother, the current emperor, did not take this seriously at all, and even gave people the feeling that he did not want to marry the most beautiful princess and the most beautiful sister. Whenever someone proposed marriage to Princess Clin, he always refused mercilessly. Many of them were young talents with prominent families, which made many people unable to understand, especially the Empress Dowager, who blamed the emperor's son for being too inappropriate and did not think about his sister at all.
However, the emperor always answered the Empress Dowager with a sentence: Clint herself doesn't want me, and I can't help but Ah.
In fact, Clin was indeed unwilling. Although the Empress Dowager was anxious, Clin herself was unwilling. The Emperor also supported her, and the Empress Dowager had no choice.
It was not until Princess Clin was twenty-six years old that she suddenly announced that she would marry Nangong Lingkong, and it was less than a year since Nangong Lingkong's ex-wife passed away.
This news was nothing short of explosive news at the time. Many people who didn't understand it suddenly realized at this time, thinking that this was an important means for the emperor to win over the Nangong family. At the same time, they also believed that only the Nangong family's prominent status could be worthy of the beautiful Princess Clin.
However, some people think that the age difference between them is too big. The gap between them is nearly thirty years old enough to make Nangong Lingkong be Clin's father. If the gap is within fifteen years old, it would be perfect. This is also the idea in the heart of the empress dowager. However, in general, the gap between them is nearly thirty years old is not too horrifying. Moreover, Nangong Lingkong is also an important minister of the country and a dragon among people. Therefore, this marriage is beneficial to both the royal family and the Nangong family at least on the surface.
As soon as he saw his beautiful wife, Nangong Lingkong's anger seemed to disappear a lot. He shook his head and sighed: Alas, he is not that little beast. He is causing trouble for me all day long, and he is really angry!
Clin smiled, then raised his jade hand and waved at the two guards. The two guards bowed and retreated.
Clin walked behind the chair, stretched out her slender jade fingers, pressed them on Nangong Lingkong's temple, and gently massaged them on it and said: Lingkong, don't be too angry. Qi'er is still young, and it's normal for a child to play at home!
Still a little Ah?It’s nineteenth, and it’s time to make achievements.But he, let alone making achievements, didn’t even learn a little of his skills. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, which was so inappropriate!
Don’t worry, Qi'er is very smart. As long as he is willing to learn, he will learn everything quickly.
Smart means intelligence, but smartness does not need to be on the right path.
Nangong Lingkong sighed again, reached out and gently grabbed Princess Clin's pair of tender gums that were massaged by him, pulled her to her, then held her thin waist and said: You Ah, you spoil him even more than his mother.
Princess Clin sat sideways on his legs, wrapped her arms around his neck, and raised her mouth slightly and said: Can you not spoil him?He is the old lady's heart.If I treat him badly and he goes to the old lady to sue me, then I will not bear the bad reputation of the evil stepmother...
Haha, you Ah!
Nangong Lingkong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He loved his wife who was nearly 30 years younger than him, so that now he only had the only woman Princess Clin in his eyes. He ignored the concubines of the past.
In fact, according to the royal regulations, in order to maintain the majesty of the royal family, as long as you marry a princess, you cannot take a concubine again. Even if you want to take a concubine, you must obtain the princess’ consent.
Nangong Lingkong had already taken many concubines before marrying the princess. If the princess was married, all of these concubines would have to be dismissed. However, Nangong Lingkong was an important official of the country. The emperor issued a special order without dismissing the concubines, and he also allowed him to continue to take concubines in the future. But Nangong Lingkong let alone take concubines, he rarely paid attention to the concubines in the past, and his thoughts on women were completely devoted to Princess Clin.
The two were teasing softly, and a messy footsteps and noise suddenly came from outside the door. Nangong Lingkong smiled bitterly and let go of his hand that was holding Princess Clin's slender waist. He knew that the little beast was back because only he dared to be so ignorant and ruled in front of him.
Sure enough, the voice of the golden armored guards sounded outside the door: Young Master, you are back, the Marquis is waiting for you in the study.
knew!
As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Xiuqi pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that Princess Clin was also here, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. It would be impossible for Nangong Xiuqi to have no idea about this beautiful stepmother, but after all, Princess Clin is his stepmother. No matter how lustful he is or how he makes trouble, he will not dare to touch his father's woman Ah!
Besides, he didn't want to. Although he was the only one in the mansion who dared to shout in front of his father and was rude, from the bottom of his heart, he still respected his father very much, and of course he also knew that his father loved him the most.
How many times have I told you that you have to knock on the door before coming in? Why do you always have no memory?Nangong Lingkong glared at Nangong Xiuqi and said.
Nangong Xiuqi smiled and grabbed his hair and said: I forgot for a while, I will pay attention next time!
Nangong Lingkong has heard this answer less than ten times before. He knew that he would definitely come in like this next time, and he still answered the same way, so he stopped messing around with this question. The topic changed: What good things did you do outside today?
No, I didn't do anything good...
Nangong Xiuqi muttered: Just play!
Play?You only know how to play all day long, but this time you almost lost all your life, right?Speaking of this, Nangong Lingkong's anger that was previously relieved by Princess Clin, couldn't help but rise again. Princess Clin, who was standing beside him, saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried forward to smooth things over and said: Oh, Lingkong, if you have something to say, why are you angry?
Nangong Xiuqi threw herself to Princess Clin and smiled gratefully, then said embarrassedly: Dad, do you know everything?
Humph, don’t you even know the good things you did outside?
Nangong Lingkong said angrily: I know everything in my heart. I usually don’t bother to talk about you, but I didn’t expect you to become more lawless.How about it?I learned a lesson this time, right?
Dad, that Ximen Wuhui is too arrogant. He relies on his ability to meddle in other people's business, and doesn't look at what this is?It’s so annoying that we don’t take our Nangong family seriously!But it doesn’t matter. I have already asked someone to search the whole city. I believe that it will not take long before I can find him and give him a good look!
After hearing this, Nangong Lingkong became even more angry. He angrily scolded: Bastard, can you do something else besides this?Do you know who that Ximen Wuming is?Can you make people look good even by you?
Nangong Xiuqi was dissatisfied and said: Why don’t I know?Isn't it just a few blue lights?What's so great about it?As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands. When I bring a few more people, I will definitely make him look good!
Nangong Ling's air stood up from the chair, pointed at Nangong Xiuqi and said to Princess Clin: Look, this bastard still doesn't repent after suffering a loss.
Hehe, Qi'er is still young, and it is inevitable that he is a little more young and energetic.Princess Clin persuaded with a chuckling.
Nangong Lingkong walked to Nangong Xiuqi and stared at him for a while. His eyes contained a little love, a little helplessness, and a little anger. After a while, he said: Let me tell you the truth. Ximen Wuhui secretly came to Jing'an from Fenghai, the capital of the Sea King Xia, at the invitation of the court. He is now living in the vassal hall.If you rashly take someone to trouble him and make the city full of storms, don’t say that I can’t forgive you, even the court will punish you for leaking secrets.
Ah…
Nangong Xiuqi was shocked and his momentum suddenly became much weaker.
Then, I won't look for him...
Nangong Lingkong shook his head and said: You just don’t look for him, you will still cause trouble for me when you are outside.I have already asked for a report in front of the emperor and asked me to take you into the court to listen to the affairs of the government. The emperor has already approved the report.You get up early tomorrow and go to morning court with me.
Ah!Dad, don't you?
Nangong Xiuqi said with a bitter face: Why should I go to the morning court?I don’t have one official position, I can’t do anything, and I don’t have to go!
You also know that you can't do anything...
Nangong Lingkong said angrily: It is because of this that I asked you to go to the court to listen to the government and see how the emperor and the ministers manage this country. It will be good for you and save you from causing trouble for me all day outside.
Dad, I...
When Nangong Xiuqi wanted to say something else, Nangong Lingkong interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said: OK, stop talking, this matter is settled, you go back to your own house.
Nangong Xiuqi knew that the old man had decided, and it was useless to say more, so he had to retreat in disappointment.
Fusheng, who was waiting outside the door, saw him coming out and hurriedly came forward and said: Young Master, what's wrong with you?
Don’t mention it, the old man didn’t know something was wrong and insisted that I go to the morning court with him tomorrow. Alas, I have nothing to play in the future!Nangong Xiuqi said as he walked towards his house dejectedly.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Fusheng didn't dare to say anything more, so he just followed him tightly.
Nangong Xiuqi lived in Yixianglou, which is a two-story exquisite attic with carved beams and high eaves.
What makes this loft unique is that it is not built on the land, but in an artificial lake. It has no foundation and is supported by wooden stakes as thick as bowls under the water.
Around it is the rippling lake water, and the lake is full of lotus flowers. The breeze blows by and the fragrance is swaying, so this building is named Yixiang Tower.
A winding white jade bridge connects the attic with the ground. On the other side of the lake is a small garden. Nangong Xiuqi took Fusheng and just walked through the garden path and were about to step onto the stone bridge, a figure emerged from the depths of the garden. Lan was in front of Nangong Xiuqi, which scared him. Just as he was about to hide behind Fusheng, he found that this person was just the gardener Liu in the garden.
Hello, Old Man Liu, what are you doing?Sneaky, trying to scare people!Nangong Xiuqi said annoyedly.
Sorry, young master, the young master didn’t mean to scare the young master.Speaking of this, Old Man Liu knelt down with a plop and said: I just want to thank the young master. Not only did I let the little girl come to the mansion to do things, I also gave us some money, such a great kindness...
OK OK OK.
Nangong Xiuqi interrupted him and said: Just ask your daughter to serve me well in the future.After saying that, Nangong Xiuqi walked around Old Man Liu who was kneeling in front of him and stepped onto the stone bridge and walked towards Yixiang Tower.
Yes, the youngest must instruct the little girl to serve the young master well.Old man Liu knelt there and said to Nangong Xiuqi's back.
In fact, when he first heard the news that his daughter was raped by Nangong Xiuqi, he felt dizzy and grief and angry. However, when he further learned that Nangong Xiuqi did not kick her away after raped his daughter, he gave her a sum of money and asked her to go into the mansion to be a personal maid, this made Old Man Liu turn sadness into joy.
Because of their poor background, being able to be a maid in the Nangong family, the young master who served the Nangong family was already a good destination. If he could give birth to a man and a half daughter for the young master, then he would have climbed the branches and turned into a phoenix.
So now Old Man Liu is full of gratitude to Nangong Xiuqi, grateful that he is not as good as the girls he has raped before, and he ignores his eyes and leaves after he finishes his work.
When they returned to Yixiang Tower, the two maids immediately stepped forward, serving tea, and delivering water. After serving, Nangong Xiuqi waved to them and said: Okay, you go down, I'll go upstairs and rest for a while.
Fusheng and the two maids bowed together and said: Yes!
