“Okay, since you brothers think so highly of me, it would be disrespectful if I refuse.” Xiang Nan nodded.
“That’s what we want from you.” Qi Shaoshang said with a smile.
The seven village owners also laughed.
Xiang Nan also smiled and suddenly burst into tears.
“Brother Gu, why are you crying?” Qi Shaoshang asked doubtfully.
"Brothers, you are brave and brave, and you have such high regard and trust for me, a little person with unknown origins and unknown good and evil. I am really moved and then ashamed." Xiang Nan explained, "In this case, I am not good either. Hidden from everyone again.
Actually, my true identity is that I am the son-in-law of Prince Shaobao, the governor of the world, and the right prime minister Fu Zongshu. My wife is Fu Zongshu’s daughter, her name is Fu Wanqing. "
When everyone heard this, they were surprised.
I didn’t expect that Xiang Nan, dressed in commoner clothes and seemingly unassuming, would have such a high status that he could be the prime minister’s son-in-law.
It is true that people cannot be judged by appearance, and sea water cannot be measured.
“I didn’t expect Brother Gu to have such a noble status, we are really disrespectful.” Qi Shaoshang said with a smile, “In this case, it will be even better for you to be the leader of our Lianyun Village.”
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
Lianyunzhai was a civilian rebel army. Although it helped the imperial court fight against the Liao Dynasty, in the eyes of the officials, it was no different from grass bandits, rebels, and rebels. But if Xiang Nan is the leader of Dazhai, the relationship between the court and the court can be eased.
At that time, even with supplies from the imperial court, the power and status of Lianyun Village will be unattainable, no less than adding wings to a tiger.
"Otherwise." Xiang Nan said with a straight face and waved his hands, "Brother Qi still remembers that I was sent by Prime Minister Fu to perform tasks at the border on my wedding night."
“Remember.” Qi Shaoshang nodded.
"Brother, do you know what mission I have received?" Xiang Nan asked again.
Qi Shaoshang shook his head, "What mission?"
"Kill Qi Shaoshang and seize Nishuihan." Xiang Nan said immediately.
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nan is not a good brother who shares life and death with the same goals, but a sworn enemy with an order to kill!
“Why?” Qi Shaoshang asked doubtfully.
“I don’t know, but I guess the secret is in Ni Shuihan Sword.” Xiang Nan explained, “Because this sword is what Prime Minister Fu cares about most, this sword must hide a great secret.
Brother Qi, can you let me take a look at the Ni Shui Han Sword in your hand? "
Qi Shaoshang was stunned for a moment, and then handed the Nishui Hanjian to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan reached out and took the sword.
Upon seeing this, the seven village masters put their hands on their weapons. Once Xiang Nan made any move, they would all take action together.
Xiang Nan pretended not to see it, but looked over and over at Nishui Hanjian.
Then, he lightly pressed the spring on the hilt of the sword, and there was a click. The sword fell and was inserted into the ground for more than a foot.
It is indeed a sword that can make quick decisions and sharpen iron like clay.
It turns out that Fu Zongshu colluded with Xiao Tianyou, the southern king of the Liao war faction, and intended to kill the third prince and princess of the Liao Kingdom when the Song and Liao Dynasties reconciled, which led to another war between the Song and Liao Dynasties.
At the same time, he would also send people into the palace to kidnap the emperor and force the emperor to abdicate the throne to him. Moreover, he has already contacted the army at the border. At that time, he was the only one who could lead the army to resist the Liao army, so all the officials had to pinch their noses and let him wear a yellow robe and ascend the throne as emperor.
Just like when the Khitans invaded, Zhao Kuangyin was ordered to attack them, and then Chen Qiao mutinied and wore yellow robes.
…
When they saw this secret letter, Qi Shaoshang, Ruan Mingzheng, Lao Xuguang and others were all shocked.
I never thought that there was such a huge secret hidden in Ni Shuihan Sword.
The dignified prince Shaobao, the governor of the world, and the right prime minister Fu Zongshu, actually betrayed the country through Liao and intended to rebel. He was really lawless and daring.
“So that’s it.” Xiang Nan sighed, “No wonder he wants to take back the Nishui Hanjian at all costs. It turns out that there is such a big conspiracy hidden in it.
Fortunately, I managed to put things right in time, otherwise, once the incident happened, even I would be involved and the nine tribes would be implicated. "
He knew that Fu Zongshu's conspiracy would not succeed.
The present time is different from the past. Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor during the period of warlord warfare during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. The slogan at that time was "Son of the Emperor, he who has strong soldiers and horses should be the one who has the best talent."
Zhao Kuangyin was the commander-in-chief of the imperial palace and the supreme commander of the imperial army in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Later, he took advantage of the Khitan invasion and obtained the right to dispatch the army and horses across the country, so he was qualified to ascend the throne.
Comparatively, Fu Zongshu only controlled General Helian by relying on the Jiuyou Divine Lord's Ten Thousand Curses Returning Nine Lotus Lanterns magic potion, and he was still far from controlling the country's military power.
Moreover, now that the world has been settled and the people are at peace, Fu Zongshu's plan to usurp the throne is completely against nature and it is impossible to succeed.
Secondly, Fu Zongshu's biggest helpers are the Jiuyou Shenjun and the group of medicine men under him who are unaware and only know how to fight.
But his opponents include Zhuge Shenhou, the four famous arresters, and all decent people. Even his colleagues in the government would not sit back and watch him ascend to the throne.
the reason is simple. When everyone is a minister, perhaps they have the same interests and can form an alliance to help each other.
But after Fu Zongshu ascended the throne, the first person he dealt with was his political opponents, and the second person he dealt with was his comrades.
Just like when Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, the generals such as Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, and Wang Shenqi who surrounded him on the throne were all given a glass of wine to release their military power.
Hence, Fu Zongshu's plan to usurp the throne seems to be scheming and sure-footed, but in fact it is full of omissions and wishful thinking, which is simply impossible.
…
“Fortunately, Brother Gu informed him in time, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark.” Qi Shaoshang was also shocked.
“Master Dazhai, who gave you this sword?” Ruan Mingzheng asked curiously.
Qi Shaoshang then recounted how he met Li Ling, the coach of the 800,000-strong Tiger Ben Army, and was entrusted by Ni Shui Han Jian to meet and wait for seven days at Qiting Winery.
“Since Fu Zongshu sent me to Qiting Restaurant to kill you, Li Ling must have fallen into his hands.” Xiang Nan said, “Brother Qi doesn’t have to wait any longer.”
Qi Shaoshang nodded, "Brother Gu, what do you think we should do next?"
“Brother Qi, are you still willing to believe me?” Xiang Nan looked at Qi Shaoshang and said.
"Brother Gu is able to betray his brother in battle and kill his relatives for justice, which is what a hero does. If I don't believe it, wouldn't I be completely heartless?" Qi Shaoshang said with a smile.
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "First of all, we need to eliminate two of Fu Zongshu's gangsters. One is the Sanzhi General Xian Yuqiu, and the other is the Riyou Shen Leng Hu'er.
Fu Zongshu sent them to come with me to the border. If we don't stop them in time, they will probably spread the news about me anyway. "
