Ji Xiangcheng looked about sixty years old, with a few strands of messy hair on his temples, thick black and neat eyebrows, and his eyes were extremely bright. From time to time, he was the prime minister of the Tianfeng Kingdom, who had been eighteen years, and the momentum of the superiors was particularly strong on him. At this moment, he was squinting slightly and gently savoring the fragrant tea in his hand.

"Mr. Ji has been waiting for a long time, sorry, sorry!" After Pang Ruhai came in, he walked to Ji Xiangcheng with a smile, bowed his hand and accused him.

Ji Xiangcheng put the teacup in his hand on the table and raised his lips, "Mr. Pang is polite. Today, my daughter married into your family. We will be in-laws in the future. I hope Mars. Pang will take care of her more."

"It should be, it should be." Pang Ruhai sat down in the seat on the side and nodded repeatedly.

After the two of them greeted each other for a while, Ji Xiangcheng said with a straight face, "Mr. Pang, now we have become in-laws. I won't say much about the empirical words. I wonder what you think of the current domestic situation?"

"Yeah!" Pang Ruhai glanced at him, with a look inexplicable expression in his eyes, "Mr. Ji, I'm afraid you know the situation in the country better than me? Now the situation in our Tianfeng Kingdom is very unoptimistic. There are enemies outside, and all the princes inside are eyeing each other. To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that when that person goes, the little prince will probably not even have any bone residue left."

"Yes, now the Tianxing Kingdom is about to move again. A large number of troops were mobilizing a month ago. I'm afraid the war will rise again." Ji Xiangcheng sighed lightly, touched his beard with his hand and said, "By the way, has Pang Gong received the news about the Xiao family? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that this Xiao family waiter who didn't look down on anyone at the time has now grown into a big force, making the old fox Xiao Shiyun embarrassed?"

"Well, Xiao Tianci is indeed a talent. In less than three years, he developed the small Starry Night City to such a scale. The armored soldiers under his command exceeded 100,000, which has become a climate." Pang He took a sip of tea and nodded and said lightly, "Last month, Xiao Heng died. Xiao Tianci returned to Beijing to attend the funeral. That night, he betrayed the Duke's Mansion. Two days later, in Fengcheng that day, he was in a state of vagueness. He used a thousand iron cavalry to fight against Xiao Shiyun's 30,000 private soldiers, and killed the 30,000 private soldiers with weak and strong.

The army was defeated. At the beginning of this month, he sent another 100,000 troops to attack Jumucheng and attacked halfway. Not only did he seize Jumucheng, but he also wiped out reinforcements from the other five cities. One prisoner of war was nearly 100,000, and on the same day he captured five cities and plundered countless money and grain. Now Xiao Shiyun has put all his bets on, and the 450,000 army attacked Xingye City, and even asked Jin Zhe to help. It seems that whoever can win after this battle will truly become the king of the western part of our Tianfeng Kingdom."

"Haha, the marshal is worthy of being the marshal, the information is so detailed." Ji Xiangcheng chuckled, "It seems that the future competitors must have one of the two members of the Xiao family? Then the chief military advisor sent his eldest disciple Jin Zhe to assist Xiao Shiyun. Can we think that Yue Buyi, the old fox, has chosen him?"

"Otherwise." Pang Ruhai shook his head and looked at Ji Xiangcheng, "Yue Buyi is as smart as the sea. He will never bet easily when the situation is unclear. Besides, it is not the strongest uncle and nephew of their Xiao family at present. Not to mention that the Duke Chengguo who occupies Lianyunzhou in the eastern part of the kingdom is Lord Ji, don't you also have a huge literary system and a huge private soldier in Hezhou, the fiefdom?"

"Ahem! Pang Gong is exaggerating." Ji Xiangcheng coughed twice awkwardly, changing the topic, "Pang Gong, now the foreign enemy is strong, the internal troubles are serious, and the future is even more uncertain. Now that the situation of the Lord is in a critical state, how should you and my family handle themselves?"

Pang Ruhai glanced at him, frowned slightly, and said a little dissatisfied, "Sir Ji, since you and my family have already married, they should be open and honest. If they continue to hide, I don't think we need to continue talking."

"What does Pang Gong mean?" Ji Xiangcheng said in surprise.

"What do you mean? Lord Ji should be very clear in his heart." A trace of anger flashed across Pang Ruhai's slightly dark face, "The king has not had much time, and the princess is young. Although the eldest princess Long Ziyue is talented, she is a daughter. She is weak and powerful. Now she is the image of a group of tigers. Just wait for the dragon to win, the Tianfeng Kingdom will be divided into pieces. People from all walks of life will compete for the throne. Isn't your Ji family willing to marry my Pang family now just to unite? With the power of you and me, you will definitely have the advantage in the future competition for the great treasures. There is great hope to win the throne. But after taking the throne, will your Ji family sit? Or will my Pang family sit?"

"This..." Ji Xiangcheng didn't expect that Pang Ruhai, an old man, would have made it clear that everyone's tacit understanding. He didn't know how to answer it. After a while, he said, "Pang Gong is far-sighted, but it is really difficult to answer this matter immediately. It's better to do this. You and I will jointly seize the treasure. As for who will take this throne in the future, what if you and I will rely on their own abilities?"

"Well, I won't talk about the future in advance. After all, it's too far away. Let's talk about how you and my two families unite first." Pang Ruhai also knew that there would definitely be no result in this matter. He just said this, just wanted to hit Ji Xiangcheng, the old fox.

"By the way, Xiao Shiyun should have asked you for food and grass, right?" Pang Ruhai continued to ask.

"Well, I have said this, but the number is large. I am still hesitating whether to sell it to him." Ji Xiangcheng nodded and said.

"Sell, no matter how large the number is, you have to sell it." Pang Ruhai stressed, "I have sold my fief for three floors this year's autumn harvest grain with him. I hope he and Xiao Tianci will fight as much as possible, and it is best to fight both sides and lose both sides and have no power to make a comeback. This will be a powerful enemy for you and me in the future."

"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Pang to value the uncle and nephew of the Xiao family so much?" Ji Xiangcheng was a little surprised. Although he knew that the two of the Xiao family would definitely become a stumbling block for the rise of the Ji family, he had never valued it as much as Pang Ruhai.

"It's not a question of whether to pay attention or not." Pang Ruhai shook his head and said, "I have been the Grand Marshal for nearly twenty years, and have been marching and fighting for more than a hundred times. The most important thing is to be the first. You must take the lead in everything. The same is true for the two uncles and nephews of the Xiao family. When they are fighting now, I can arrange things calmly and take the initiative. It's best to drag them down without a single soldier. And if you sell food, you can have a large amount of money and income, right?"

"That's right, okay, I'll ask someone to organize the food and grass to sell it to him Xiao Shiyun." Ji Xiangcheng smiled and said.

Afterwards, the two old foxes with ulterior motives discussed various things and their tone became much closer during the conversation, but who could know what these two old guys were thinking?

………

In the palace not far from the Marshal's Mansion, it was cold at this moment. In Chengqian Palace, the lights were dim, and two servants leaned on the left and right side of the pillar of His Highness and were drowsy. On an extremely large ** in the hall, Long Sheng lay there with a blood-colored face, his eyelids slightly closed, he was panting, and sweat beads appeared on his forehead from time to time. He was extremely weak.

Long Sheng, the lord of the Tianfeng Kingdom, has been lying in a drowsy manner on the ** for more than ten days. The excessive use of pills made him look thinner and thinner. His head was covered with pale hair and increasingly obvious wrinkles on his cheeks. It can be seen that his vitality has been severely overdrawn, and he is probably not much time.

At this time, the palace gate was pushed open with a slam, and a beautiful figure hurriedly walked in. The two little servants who were still dozing off quickly stood up, stretched their necks to scold them loudly, but after seeing the appearance of the visitor, they all lowered their heads respectfully and said, "I have seen Princess Ruyue."

"Where is my father? What's the situation?" The visitor was Princess Ruyue Long Ziyue who rushed back from the Divine Sword Sect of the Ming Emperor Capital. At this moment, she looked anxious, frowned tightly, and had no regrets.

"Go back to the princess, the situation is not good. You have been drowsy for several days and eat at most liquid food every day. The imperial physician... The imperial physician said..." One of the young servants looked at Long Ziyue, then lowered their heads and said.

"What do you mean by the Imperial Doctor? Tell me quickly." Long Ziyue asked repeatedly.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Doctor said that the Lord... the Lord is already terminally ill, afraid... I am afraid there is not much time." The little servant replied tremblingly.

"There is no more time...there is no more time..." Long Ziyue stood there like a lightning strike, and kept chanting. After a while, she came to her senses. Her face suddenly became cold. She looked at the two little servants and said in a cold voice, "Say, why don't you notify me earlier?"

"District... Your Highness... This... the young men don't know much." The two little servants looked at each other and replied stammeringly.

"Hmph, I'm not sure. It seems that I, the princess, have been away for too long, and I have forgotten the existence of Princess Ruyue." Long Ziyue snorted coldly, her eyes shot straight towards the two little servants like swords.

The two little servants suddenly shook their bodies and said tremblingly, "Princess...Princess, don't make things difficult for the younger ones."

"It's a dilemma?" Long Ziyue laughed in anger and said twice, "Then the Japanese Palace is going to make things difficult for you. If you don't say anything, don't blame me for being ruthless." As he said that, Long Ziyue pulled out the sword from her waist, and the sword energy was soaring, and the whole room suddenly dropped several degrees.

"Hao..... Your Highness calms down, the youngest said." The two little servants were so scared that they lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Highness, Concubine Rong did not let everyone notify the princess. He said that the princess was busy with school and should not worry about these trivial matters."

"Concubine Rong? The mother of the prince Ziying." After hearing the words of the young servant, Long Ziyue's face changed drastically. The sword in her hand fell to the ground suddenly, making a bang, "Small thing? Humph, the father is seriously ill is also a small thing? Then what is a big thing? What does Concubine Rong want to do? Can't wait so much?"

When the two servants heard Long Ziyue's words, they were so scared that they hurriedly lowered their heads and crawled on the ground, not daring to say another word.
