Transmigration with Cheat Codes - Chapter 55

[55. Chapter 55]

Nan Luo, thirty-two years old, the first child of Nan Lao Fort Lord, the current generation of Nanjia Fort——

Eldest daughter.

The moment Meng Jintang saw the other person’s appearance clearly, he realized that he had never heard anyone mention the gender of the Lord of the South Castle before.

Nan Luo had a heroic spirit in his brows, tall and straight posture, nimble steps, and a very dashing temperament. After sitting on the main seat, he toasted three glasses of wine with the visiting martial arts comrades, and immediately announced the official start of the banquet.

Meng Jintang thought that just because the other party did not make an impromptu speech like “Let me say a few words first” before eating as usual, it was obvious that she was a real girl.

Nan Luo is not too old now. Judging from Nan’s second, third, and fourth ages, when the old castle master Nan died, she was estimated to be a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. On the set of Jianghu, she was just a girl. Girl, no wonder the You family had an excuse to take the second young master away and raise him on their own.

The interior and exterior of the hall are decorated with colorful candles and bright lamps. In addition to the interior of the hall, there are also many tables outside the hall for the ordinary warriors who come with the famous heroes to eat and drink. The guests exchange cups and cups, chatting and laughing. The time was extremely lively.

Uncle You raised his wine glass, walked to the main table, and said with a smile: “This is the year of the martial arts competition, and I have to watch you, my eldest niece, fight against all the heroes again!”

Meng Jintang noticed that the word “again” was mentioned in his words. If it was not said casually, it meant that the Lord of the South Castle had a history of fighting against the heroes.

Nan Luo exchanged greetings with Uncle You’s family and drank a drink with each other. Zhou Chen looked at it and saw that the time was almost up. The disciples in the fort came over holding a tray. In addition to the cups, there was also a medium-sized wine jar on the tray. Others occasionally noticed it. , and found that although the opponent was holding a heavy object in his hand, everything from his shoulders to his arms, and then from his arms to his fingers, was motionless. His basic skills were obviously extremely solid.

The disciples served the wine, and the banner master Gao Xun personally held the pot and poured two full glasses of wine for the castle master.

——In terms of status, Gao Xun is only lower than the deputy castle master Zhou Chen. Judging from his age, he is nearly twenty years older than Nan Luo. However, his expression is extremely respectful, and he obviously admires this castle master very much.

Among the guests, someone talked about the past of this banner leader, saying that he was very brave when he was young. He and his brothers once picked off ten thieves’ villages in seven days. A few years ago, the leader of Guiwei Village attacked Yezhou. He coveted this piece of fat and was afraid that he would not be able to swallow it, so he even roped in his old enemy Yinfengzhai to join him. As a result, when he was still fifty miles away from Yongji City, he met head-on with the Nanjiabao disciples who had received the news in advance. The person who led the team was the banner master Gao Xun. He easily sent the people back without the need for the master of Nanbao to take part in the whole process. He had countless similar experiences in his life, and he was a great hero.

Wan Wangde whispered: “I have heard from the elders in the family that both Gaoqi Master and his wife were saved by the old fort master, so they are loyal to Nanjia Fort. He has only one daughter, who is also known by today’s Nanjia Fort. The castle owner once saved lives, and the relationship between the two parties is extremely close.”

Nan Luo walked up to Mrs. Nan and raised his glass to propose a toast: “I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity as long as Nanshan Mountain.”

Her words were more than respectful, but not intimate enough. She only called her old lady, but did not call her mother. Some of the guests present noticed the details in Nan Luo’s words, which was understandable – they were called mother and daughter, and their actual ages were also different. She was only a few years old, so she was treated as an old lady to avoid embarrassment for both parties. However, Nan Luo’s expression was both calm and high-spirited. Compared with her stepmother, who lived quietly at home, she really looked like a person from two different generations.

Mrs. Nan took the wine glass and touched her lips with the rim of the glass to express that she had finished drinking. She looked at Mr. Nan and her children, and her eyes suddenly became dazed. After a while, she sighed: “In a blink of an eye, the children They have all grown up.”

Hearing this, Nan Luo felt quite emotional when he recalled the hardships of starting a business.

The two exchanged a few gentle words. Nanjiabao’s close subordinates looked at it and were quite puzzled – Mrs. Nan lost her husband at a young age and rarely smiled in a year. Chatting for a short while like today was already considered a blessing. High spirits.

Zhou Chen and others thought that although the old lady did not pay much attention to others since the death of the old castle lord, seeing that the third young lady and the fourth young master had grown up, her temper was gradually becoming kinder than before, and they felt very Happy.

After Nan Luo toasted his stepmother, Uncle You kept winking at his nephew. Nan Er looked frightened and hesitated for a long time before he reluctantly stood up and toasted his eldest sister a glass of wine.

Originally, the third young lady and the fourth young master wanted to toast together, but they were stopped. Uncle You’s uncle smiled: “Brother first, then younger brothers and sisters, come one by one, wouldn’t it make the order clearer?”

Zhou Chen and others were all confused. When they heard it, they could tell that the You family was implying that the Second Young Master Nan was ahead of the Third Young Lady and the Fourth Young Master. If the Third Young Lady and the Fourth Young Master grew up and could intervene in the affairs of the castle, then the Second Young Master Nan would Nature also needs to take its place.

Some people even thought a little deeper – Master Nan Castle currently has no disciples to succeed him. If the Second Young Master Nan gets married before his sister and has an heir, won’t it affect the succession issue of Nan Family Castle?

Wan Wangde sighed softly: “There is no one to pass on to the next generation of Nanjiabao. No wonder others are thinking about it.”

Zuo Lingqiu glanced at his nephew and told him not to talk too much about his master’s family affairs at the banquet, but judging from his expression, he quite agreed with what Wan Wangde said.

Meng Jintang looked at the wine glass in front of him, his thoughts diverged from the problem of Nanjia Fort, and thought of himself – Hanshan Sect has not yet established the next generation heir, but her situation is different from Nan Luo, this body is still young, She was also frail and sickly, and looked like she would die young in the eyes of ordinary people. Accepting a disciple too early would easily make others wonder whether she might not live long, so she had to plan for her funeral in advance.

“Snapped!”

The sound of breaking utensils suddenly sounded, interrupting Meng Jintang’s thoughts.

Nan Er was always afraid of the eldest sister. He held up the wine glass, stammered a few words of congratulation, and then raised his neck to drink the wine. As a result, before he could put the glass down, his face turned black and he fell to the ground. He often fell to the ground. Jiu Hui and Meng Jintang looked at each other at the same time, and shook their heads at the same time, indicating that Nan Er was dead. Unless the Nanjiapu people wanted to do a careful autopsy or clean up the scene, there would be basically no professional doctors or part-time doctors carrying corpse powder to take action. necessary.

Wan Wangde couldn’t help but glance at Meng Jintang, a little worried that he would go over at an inappropriate time to sell the bottles and cans he carried with him…

Seeing this scene, the two people who reacted the most were Mrs. Nan and Uncle You. The former suddenly became panicked with a calm look on his face. He rushed to his children and knocked over the drinks in their hands – connecting Nan Luo and Including the old lady, the wine in the glasses of the five people was poured from the same pot.

Uncle You’s family threw himself on Nan Er’s body and shouted loudly for his nephew. He tried to rescue him first, but after finding that it was useless, he suddenly raised his head: “Lao Er… what’s going on?”

The shouts shook the candlelight, and shadows and lights continued to intersect on everyone’s faces. Where all eyes converged, Nan Luo slowly put down his wine glass.

The wine in her cup comes from the same jug as her second brother, third sister and fourth brother. However, Nan Luo is a highly skilled martial artist and the poisonous wine that can poison Nan Er will definitely make her feel… No, so Nan Luo was very sure that the drink in his glass was normal.

Uncle You’s face was extremely ugly. He stared at Nanluo and suddenly said loudly: “Master Nanbao, today is my brother-in-law’s birthday. I want to ask you, Mr. You, if you dare to tell me in front of your late father whether you are worried about me.” Your poor nephew threatened your position, so he killed you!”

“…”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the hall. Many heroes in the world looked at Uncle You silently. They didn’t know whether the other party had a high opinion of Nan Er’s strength or looked down upon Master Nan’s handling of affairs.

Zhou Chen stood up immediately – there are many doubts about what happened today. Whether it is from the pros and cons or from the means, it is definitely not the fault of the Lord of Nanbao. However, if he follows the request of Uncle You, he can explain it in front of everyone. , wouldn’t it be a huge loss of face?

Nan Luo raised his eyes and looked at Uncle You with a majestic expression. The latter had always been afraid of this “niece’s” martial arts skills, but when the former looked at him, his voice involuntarily weakened.

After a moment, Nan Luo withdrew his gaze, stood up and cupped his hands from afar: “Brother Qixing Guanzuo.”

Zuo Lingqiu stood up and returned the greeting: “Lord of the South Fort.”

They didn’t speak very loudly, but hundreds of people inside and outside the hall could hear them clearly, as if the two were talking next to them.

Nan Luo: “Qixingguan is the leader of the martial arts community in the Central Plains. Nan has always admired him. Since Brother Zuo Dao is here to visit the house, the person in charge will not think twice about it. He also hopes that Brother Zuo will lend a helping hand and come to take a look at the house.” Brother’s situation.”

Qixing Guan is one of the three top sects in the Central Plains. It has strict sect rules. It has always had a reputation as a chivalrous person and has a profound foundation. There are many masters in the sect. Since Zuo Lingqiu is a disciple of the Guan, he will be responsible for presiding over the murder of Nan Er. It’s suitable in every aspect.

Mr. Tai nodded slightly. Since Nan Luo dared to say this, it showed that he was open-minded and not someone who wanted to murder his half-brother.

Hearing this, Zuo Lingqiu did not agree directly, but glanced at Meng Jintang first.

He grew up in a Taoist temple, and was influenced by the ethos of his sect. He was very indifferent to fame and fortune. In addition, he admired the skills of Head Meng of the Hanshan Sect. He wanted to recommend her to take charge, but he didn’t know if she was willing.

Meng Jintang smiled and whispered: “I can take a look at the situation with Brother Zuo.”

The Hanshan sect is not famous enough now. If you take it out alone, even if it can control the situation in terms of martial arts, it will not be able to control the situation in terms of reputation. Nanluo recommends Zuo Lingqiu, not only because he is interested in him personally, but also because of the Qixingguan view over the years. Good reputation.

Zuo Lingqiu nodded, thanked Master Nanbao for his kindness, and agreed. He also said that Miss Meng from the Hanshan Sect was his good friend and was always careful. If he got involved in this matter, he would definitely be able to find out the situation faster.

When Zhou Chen heard this, his eyes moved slightly. He had already reported Meng Jintang’s incident to Nanluo, and had an affair with his close brothers in the fort. However, everyone said that they had never heard of the name Hanshan Sect. Zhou Chen gradually had some doubts. But seeing that the other party is able to make good friends with the disciples of Qixingguan, he must be a disciple of a famous family. As for why Nanjiabao is not clear about it, perhaps it is because the other party has always lived in seclusion, and when it comes to choosing social partners, he will probably choose some innocent sects to interact with. , ordinary martial arts people don’t know about it, so that’s not surprising.

At the main table, Jin Wangsun, the leader of the Golden Whip Club, had been watching with cold eyes. At this moment, he suddenly stood up and said with a smile: “The second young master has suffered a misfortune. I am very sad. This matter is a family matter in Nanjiabao, and there is also Taoist Master Zuo of Qixingguan.” Now, we will be able to resolve it smoothly, and there is no need to postpone the martial arts meeting even if we think about it.”

Nan Er had just died, and Jin Wangsun mentioned the martial arts meeting at this time. Although it was a bit inappropriate, most of the guests present came for this purpose. Except for some highly respected people who sighed slightly, no one expressed objections.

Nan Luo looked calm and only said: “Brother Lao Jin has asked, the martial arts meeting in the fort will be held as usual, and all the rules will be followed, as in previous years.”

Jin Wangsun said with a smile: “It would be good to follow the old rules in previous years, but the scene in the arena this year is very different from previous years. Young heroes emerge in an endless stream. If we continue to stay the same here, I’m afraid it won’t be appropriate.”

Nan Luo glanced at him: “Then I wonder what Chairman Jin has to say?”

——Many guests at the venue have noticed that Lord Nanbao changed the word “Brother Jin” in his words to the more formal and distant Lord Jin.

Jin Wangsun: “As I think about it day and night, there is always something unclear. The martial arts brothers in Yezhou have always been as good as others, but Yezhou is not as far away as the martial arts in the Central Plains…”

When Wan Wangde heard this, he was glad that the people at the same table with him either didn’t drink, or because Meng Jintang and Zuo Lingqiu didn’t drink, they followed suit. Otherwise, he would be drunk now. Either choked in the throat or got sprayed in the face.

——Not only is Yezhou not as powerful as the Central Plains Wulin, but its land prices are even lower than the Central Plains Wulin. If one is densely populated and the other is inaccessible, if they can really keep pace with development, how incompetent will the leaders in the Central Plains be…

What Jin Wangsun said was actually quite deceptive. Many of the people sitting around were local brothers and sisters. They neither wanted to say that they were inferior to others, nor could they say that their relatives and friends were inferior to others. After hesitation, he could not find a suitable excuse to interrupt. , As for Zuo Lingqiu and others, although they are considered young heroes, they are not local heroes in Yezhou. Their modesty at this time can easily be seen as hypocritical, so they all kept silent.

Zhou Chen smiled and said: “Yezhou is a remote place with a low population, but in recent years, it has made significant progress. In terms of population alone, twenty years ago, there were less than 10,000 households in Yongji City, and now there are nearly 100,000 households… …”

He is the deputy of Lord Nanjiabao and has a very clear understanding of the situation in Yongji City. He uses data to show that Yezhou has made great progress under the leadership of Nanjiabao. Zhou Chen speaks eloquently, and everyone listens After a while, I felt that Yezhou was already experiencing some prosperity.

Jin Wangsun sneered and said that economic progress cannot determine everything. If the momentum in Yezhou is great, how come there are no outstanding representatives worth mentioning among the younger generation?

Leader Meng, who had not spoken yet but was brutally bombarded by the map: “…

Is this person criticizing Sang and Huai? As a very noteworthy representative of the younger generation, wouldn’t she be willing to keep a low profile at the beginning?

Jin Wangsun said that the reason why Yezhou is not as good as the Central Plains is because the people in charge are incompetent. As he narrates, his words gradually become harsher.

Wan Wangde put down his chopsticks silently, not daring to look at Meng Jintang’s face next to him.

Jin Wangsun sighed: “…In this case, why not replace Yezhou with another Jianghu leader. In fact, Jin did not want to be so direct, but since the master of Nanbao is suspected of murdering his brother, how can he occupy the transportation hub of Yongji City again? “Tao.” He said again, “You don’t have to be dissatisfied. When it is later proven that the death of the second young master has nothing to do with Lord Nanbao, it won’t be too late for us to separate.”[End of this Chapter.]
