Chapter 185: A big gift for Nalan's family birthday banquet.
[69 Book Bar - www.] Ni Jiuxie frowned irritably, and finally decided to run to the Heavenly Fire Kingdom.
No matter what, it would be a good idea to go back and find out more about the situation. After all, there was no need for her to stay here after the tournament.
…
Skyfire Capital is as lively as ever, but this time there is still a hint of a storm coming.
The martial arts tournament was canceled midway, and warriors from all over the world returned home one after another. Nalan Qing and others were still on their way back, but the Nalan Mansion was extremely lively. Just because... three days later, the head of the Nalan family, the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, Nalan Wu
And the birthday of Nalan Qing, the first son of the Nalan family.
Ni Jiuxie was dressed in low-key clothes and walked into Prince Yan's Mansion silently.
At this time, the wanted portrait of Ni Jiuxie was posted throughout the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, which forced her to keep a low profile.
"The prince is waiting for you in the study." Not long ago, Ni Jiuxie asked Feiying to bring a letter to tell Huo Yan the news that he was coming back. As soon as he came back, he saw Shan Shan waiting for him at the door.
"Yeah." Ni Jiuxie nodded and walked to the study in a familiar way.
Even if Huo Yan didn't call her, she still wanted to ask him what happened when the sacred weapon was stolen.
The door was pushed open, and the guard at the door nodded respectfully to Ni Jiuxie.
Ni Jiuxie walked in silently.
In the study room, the man who was immersed in committing the crime raised his head when he heard the sound. His glazed eyes looked at Ni Jiuxie for a moment. After a while, he chuckled and said: "Sit down."
"You owe me an explanation." Ni Jiuxie pulled up a chair without any courtesy, rested his chin on one hand and looked at Huo Yan.
"You mean Qi Huo Qin and Xuan Shui Xiao?" Huo Yan asked calmly without any trace of embarrassment about losing something on his face.
"What do you think?" Ni Jiuxie raised his eyebrows, asking knowingly?
Hearing this, Huo Yan put down the pen in his hand and said, "Their strength is too high."
"Oh." Ni Jiuxie replied lightly. She naturally understood that the person coming was very powerful and she couldn't save the things even if she was there.
But when she thought of her belongings being snatched away alive, she felt a fire burning in her stomach.
"When will you seize the throne?" Ni Jiuxie asked, changing the subject. He originally wanted to cooperate with Huo Yan to achieve Yi Mo's wish, but now, the cooperation seems to be interrupted.
However, in order to save the people in Lianban, she owed him Leng Qing, and now it is time to pay it back. It was still some time before Huo Yu succeeded to the throne, but now that Tianxuan is in turmoil in the spiritual world, it will be too late to take action.
There was a layer of variables, so Ni Jiuxie concluded that Huo Yan would take action in the next few days.
"Cooperation interrupted?" Huo Yan heard Ni Jiuxie's words and immediately understood what he meant. He had said before that Ni Jiuxie did not need to participate in the matter of seizing the throne. Now when she asked, she said that she wanted to get involved. It was obvious that she wanted to.
Pay off the favor and make a clean break with yourself!
"Yes." Ni Jiuxie nodded lazily, her deep black eyes as dark as ink. We are all smart people, and she believed that she did not need to explain the interruption of cooperation.
Huo Yan was silent, pursed his lips slightly, and said after a while: "Three days, start in three days.
I just got the news that Huo Yu is not in the palace. He went to Lanfeng with Nalan's family, and Nalan Wu was among them.
Three days later it will be the birthdays of Nalan Wu and Nalan Qing. At that time, all the officials will congratulate them and Huo Yu will also go.
I will stop Huo Yu on that day, and you only need to be responsible for clearing out the Nalan family."
Ni Jiuxie smiled. He knew she had a grudge against the Nalan family and sent her to deal with the Nalan family. This was selling her a favor.
Ni Jiuxie slightly darkened his eyes and said uncertainly: "Nalan Qing and Nalan Wu's birthday? It seems that I have to go down and prepare a birthday gift. I'll leave first." After saying that, Ni Jiuxie stepped forward.
When going out to attend other people's birthday banquets, she shouldn't leave empty-handed. She should think about preparing a 'big gift' for the Nalan family.
Huo Yan raised the corner of his mouth and raised his brows. What gift would she give to the Nalan family? The best gift would be to kill someone's daughter and not make her angry to death! He knew Nalan Yiyi, the precious girl of the Nalan family.
He was killed by Ni Jiuxie.
"Wait a minute." Just as Ni Jiuxie was walking at the door, Huo Yan suddenly said.
Just as Ni Jiuxie was about to step out of the house, he paused and turned his head to look at Huo Yan in confusion.
Huoyan's glazed eyes were filled with warmth, and he asked gently: "What do you want the Four Kingdoms Sacred Artifact for?"
Ni Jiuxie frowned when she heard Huo Yan's question. Didn't she already tell him about Yi Mo? "Didn't I tell you? I want to collect them to open the door to Chuchen." After that,
He walked outside without looking back.
In the room, Huo Yan looked deeply at the direction Ni Jiuxie left, with dark waves in his eyes. He rubbed the table with his right hand and murmured in a low voice: "Is it really just to open Chuchen's door..." His voice was very loud.
It's small and light, as if it was blown away by the wind when it came out, making it hard to hear it clearly.
The wind outside the window blew gently into the study. Huo Yan stared at the door motionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking...
…
Three days later, the Nalan Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and a cheerful doorman stood outside the door to greet the guests, with a smile on his face as if a flower was about to bloom.
Nalan Wu sat at the head of the Nalan Mansion in high spirits, wearing longevity clothes and accepting everyone's blessings with a smile on his face. Nalan Qing sat on his right, although this time it was him and Nalan Wu.
’s birthday, but Nalan Wu is the real general who governs the country and the leader of the Nalan family, so Nalan Qing has become much silent in comparison.
There were endless congratulations in the house, and from time to time, someone tried to get close to Nalanwu, which made the smile on Nalanwu's face grow stronger, but only he knew how much his smile was.
Someone was secretly scolding below that Nalanwu had just finished the funeral for his daughter not long ago, and now Nalanwu could laugh. He was indeed an old fox!
"The Prime Minister's Mansion presents two deep-sea century-old blood corals, two pairs of Ruyi jade, and twenty pieces of fire brocade and cloud weaving!" The servant's voice rang in the mansion, and even the bustle of people in the mansion could not drown out his loud voice.
"Thunder!" Several boys lit firecrackers and set them off at the door. The sound was shocking and loud.
"The Minister of Rites presented two boxes of thousand-year-old ginseng, a two-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, a box of snow lotus specially provided by Tianshan Mountain, and a pair of gilded jade vases."
"A gift from the Minister of War..." The voice of the servant of Nalan's family became louder and louder. His voice was not hoarse even after roaring for a long time. He was slightly trembling as he read out the birthday gifts listed on the gift list. He would definitely not be able to get any of these things in his lifetime.
Ah, just one item in the gift list is enough for ordinary people to spend half a lifetime.
The salutes continued, and Nalanwu, who was sitting at the top, smiled wider.
The higher the status of the person giving the gift and the more precious the gift, the higher his prestige.
The officials in the government also secretly competed for their financial resources. They listened carefully to the Nalan family's servants offering gifts, and secretly speculated, why haven't they heard of so-and-so family having so many good things before?
Ni Jiuxie was waiting in the long queue to give gifts, with a strange and unpredictable smile on her face. With a slight modification of her face, no one could tell at a glance that she was Ni Jiuxie, who was wanted nationwide. She was hiding quietly and low-key in the long queue.
, silently lowering his head and pretending to be a little slave.
High-ranking officials with status have long been invited into the mansion, while those outside the mansion are servants holding congratulatory gifts.
Ouyang Hongyu was able to capture Lianban so easily because of the manipulations played by Huo Yu and the Nalan family. The Nalan family gave her such a big gift, and she had long wanted to repay it. Now she happened to meet Nalan.
It was Lan Wu and Nalan Qing's birthday. How could she not give them a big gift to show her 'gratitude'?
Although the queue to deliver gifts was long, Nalan's servants were also very efficient, and soon it was Ni Jiuxie's turn.
The servant who reported the gift habitually picked up the gift list handed over by Ni Jiuxie and reported, "Prince Yan's Mansion..." He paused mid-sentence.
Prince Yan’s Mansion? Did he read that correctly?
Who doesn’t know that Huo Yan, the third prince of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, has always been alone and not involved with any officials. Now that such a person who is beyond the whirlpool of power has come to send congratulatory gifts to the Nalan family, the Nalan family’s face will inevitably be lost.
It's too big!
The senior officials in the mansion looked at each other, with different thoughts in mind. In fact, they were also curious about what kind of wind had brought Huo Yan's people here.
Nalan Wu, who was sitting in the first seat, was also stunned. He had no friendship with Huo Yan. Why would the other party come to give him a birthday gift?
However, after being stunned, Nalanwu felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and he suddenly felt that he was very proud.
The third prince, who has always been indifferent to worldly affairs, sent people to give him gifts. This is not a sign of pride!
"Congratulations, general. The third prince sent someone specially to congratulate you. It can be seen that the general has made great achievements in battle and has played an important role in protecting our country." Someone rolled his eyes and a horse came up to him.
I have to say that this horse shot was exactly on point.
Nalan Wu stood up from his seat with a red face, touched the beard on his chin and said humbly: "Where is it? The royal family loves me, Nalan Qing, and my Nalan family has achieved today's achievements. I owe everything to the emperor."
.”
"It is an indisputable fact that General Nalan's military exploits are outstanding. General, there is no need to be modest. The contribution your Nalan family has made to the Skyfire Kingdom is seen by the royal family, we see it, and the people of the world also see it. Everyone said
