Chapter 2387 Bring a Message 50.0
Xiao Fengqi looked at everyone, smiled, and continued, "In fact, the two gentlemen also got inspiration and enlightenment from me."

"Master Xiao, here?" Shen Haolin saw that he had almost finished talking about the sea chart and Sanskrit. He waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down. He also asked Hongye to put away the map brought by Xiao Fengqi and said, "Is it because of Master Xiao's principle of breaking before building?"

"What the Duke said is true." Xiao Fengqi waited until Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian were seated before he sat down and said, "Now many people do not respect these two people. They think that they are young and cannot handle things, and will destroy the Liao Dynasty's century-old foundation."

"Speaking of which, it's quite strange!" Xue Ruitian sneered, "Whether it's Daxia, Liao, or Jin, whether it's the royal family, the nobles, or the merchants, most of the so-called elders who have some achievements and are old say the same thing, as if they have received unified training."

"You know what, it's true!" Jin Jing agreed with Xue Ruitian's words, "When we first took over the Shen family army, didn't the veterans also disobey us? They said we were young and inexperienced, and would ruin the peace that Jiaping Pass had finally gained, right?"

"That's right." Xue Ruitian nodded and looked at Xiao Fengqi. "It's the same situation for the Xiao family, right? Young Master Xiao is already an adult, and he should have taken over the position of the head of the Xiao family long ago. But probably because the so-called elders don't want to give up power, they use the excuse that you are too young and can't possibly be the head of the family, so they refuse to give you the seal of the head of the family, right?"

"What the Marquis and Master Jin said are both right. It seems that all the elders in the world are the same. They all think that we are young and therefore untrustworthy." Xiao Fengqi sighed, "It's a pity that they have all forgotten that when they were in power, they were not much older than us. Similarly, they should have been criticized in the same way by their previous generations."

"That's it. The rain that I got wet in must be let on to the younger generation. The suffering that I suffered must be let on to the younger generation." Jin Jing shook her head helplessly. "I guess the two Yelu masters have encountered the same thing. Those old officials are probably not dissatisfied, but afraid."

"Afraid?" Hongye looked at Jinjing curiously, "What is there to be afraid of? Those two young masters are handsome and not scary, and they won't eat them. What are they afraid of?"

"They are afraid of losing their power. They are afraid that they will no longer be reused and that everything they enjoy now will be gone." Xiao Fengqi snorted, looked at Hongye who still didn't understand, and explained, "They are the confidants and loyal ministers of the current King of Liao. They are used to being treated as second to none and have lived like this for so many years. But the current King of Liao is in poor health. They are worried that when the King of Liao is gone, they will be abandoned by the new King of Liao and fall from the clouds to the mud. So, in order to avoid this, they will stop at nothing to prevent Master Lan from ascending the throne."

"Have they done anything?" Shen Cha held up his chin and looked at Xiao Fengqi, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have taken action so quickly."

"Yes!" Xiao Fengqi hesitated for a moment, nodded, looked at the entrance of the flower hall, and said, "They tried to assassinate Master Lan and Master Nan several times, but failed. Then they set their sights on people who were close to them."

"You and brother Xiao Qi are the first to be involved?"

"Why does the general think I'm here?" Xiao Fengqi spread his hands, "I just shook hands with these two and made peace not long ago."

"But in the eyes of those people, you are in the same camp, and your interests are tied together." Shen Cha smiled, "When you completely destroyed the Xiao family and stood firmly beside the two of them, Master Xiao was already considered to be in the same group with the future young King of Liao. If they want to threaten the two masters and the future King of Liao, they have to destroy their left and right arms."

"Indeed." Xiao Fengqi nodded, "They did attack me first. Because the Xiao family is gone, they think I don't have any support behind me. I have no power except the two young masters. Unfortunately, I haven't lived in vain for so many years. I have also cultivated some power of my own. It may not be possible to do something, but it is more than enough to protect myself."

"They failed?" Hongye looked him up and down, "No injuries?" "Thank you for your concern, I'm not hurt." Xiao Fengqi smiled at her, comforted her, and continued, "I'm lucky and my kung fu is pretty good. It's not easy to dodge these assassinations."

"Wait a minute!" Hongye stretched out her hand and tugged at Xiao Fengqi's sleeve. "How many assassinations? How many times?"

"Not many times, just..." Seeing Hongye staring, Xiao Fengqi felt a little guilty, "That."

"Uh, uh, uh, tell me how many times!"

"It's really not that many times, probably..." Xiao Fengqi touched his nose, his voice getting smaller and smaller, "about seven or eight times!"

"How many times!" Hongye slammed the table hard, scaring Xiao Fengqi. "Tell me, how many times!"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited!" Xiao Fengqi quickly said to comfort him, "Seven or eight times!"

"Seven or eight times is just fine?" Hongye stared at him. "How many times is considered serious? How many times is considered too many?"

"Xiao Ye Zi, you can't be so rude!" Shen Cha shook her head at Hong Ye, glanced at Xue Ruitian, and then looked at Xiao Fengqi, "Xiao Ye Zi's attitude is not good, please forgive me, Master Xiao, but what she said is right, seven or eight assassinations are already very serious."

"In fact, it's not as serious as you think. There were a few times when we caught the killers in advance and there was no conflict at all." Xiao Fengqi sighed, "When the old guys saw that I was a tough nut to crack, they turned their target to Brother Xiao Qi. They thought that it would be easier to fail if they tried multiple times, so they prepared to hit me with one strike."

"Hit the target with one strike?" Hongye's expression became increasingly ugly. She said with a sullen face, "Are you planning to kidnap Xiaoqi?"

"Yes, that's what they planned." Xiao Fengqi swallowed unconsciously when he saw Hongye's expression and said, "Don't look at me like that, it's a bit scary."

"They didn't make it, did they?"

"Yes!" Xiao Fengqi nodded. "Because of my experience, they guessed what they wanted to do. Therefore, even if they were well prepared, they did not succeed. Instead, we caught them all in one fell swoop. However, Master Nan knew that if my younger brother Xiao Qi and I continued to stay in Linhuang Mansion, those old guys would still find a way to take action. They were in the dark and we were in the light. We could defend against them once or twice, but there would be a time when we couldn't defend against them. It just so happened that the general asked the third master to help, so we left with an excuse. However, we did not leave openly, but secretly. I guess at this time, they just found out that we were no longer in Linhuang Mansion."
