Chapter 198: A Confused/Forced Face
Like the Song family, especially the beloved daughter of the lord Tiandao Song Que, marriage is strictly restricted, talking about the right family, and the man may also be able to take concubines privately according to his likes and dislikes, but the woman does not have this freedom, and can only match the designated person according to the family's arrangement.
Even Song Shidao, as the only descendant of the Song Valve, cannot marry a woman outside the Han bloodline, and Song Yuzhi is of course no exception.
As early as before, she was almost promised to Li Mi's son Li Tianfan, on the condition that Li Mi obtained Luoyang, but now it seems that Li Tianfan's chances of marrying Song Yuzhi have become very slim.
Feng Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think, "Does Song Valve want to marry me?" ”
No......
Feng Xiaoxiao glanced at Song Lu, who was smiling and silent, and said in his heart: "Song Valve just wants to have one more choice, so he makes some ambiguous gestures, but he won't make a clear statement, at least not now." ”
His current status is not low, and his status will never be below Li Mi, let alone Li Tianfan, but if he wants to be compared with a big force like the Wagang Army, it is still extremely inferior, after all, from the national level, no matter how strong his personal ability is, he cannot compare with the forces of one side.
What's more, his identity as the evil emperor of the Demon Gate, for Song Valve, will only subtract points and not add points, because once he is accepted, it is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the martial arts white road, and for Song Valve, the gains outweigh the losses.
As soon as he thought of this, Feng Xiaoxiao chuckled and changed the topic, and said, "If my expectations are correct, the Yun Gang Master has already gone south with Senior Brother Song Zhi and Senior Song Zhi!" ”
Song Lu twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Brother Feng's discerning eyes, but please rest assured, I will definitely do my best to ensure the safety of the Cloud Gang Master." ”
Feng Xiaoxiao said: "In this case, the third lady doesn't have to follow me, everything is up to Senior Brother Dao and the Yun Gang Master." ”
Song Lu looked at him in great surprise.
In fact, Feng Xiaoxiao is just a matchmaker. After pulling the line, the cooperation between Song Valve and the Giant Kun Gang is actually completely unnecessary, you must know that Song Valve has a lot of talents and masters, as long as there is an entry point. Pretty much anything can be settled.
The reason why he also used the excuse of contacting the two parties and letting Song Yuzhi follow Feng Xiaoxiao's side was that he was worried that Feng Xiaoxiao would think that Song Valve would kick out the middleman if he opened a deal, and this kind of unrighteous behavior would definitely lead to Feng Xiaoxiao's bad feelings, if he made any unworthy moves, it would cause something to happen to the originally smooth situation.
That's why this seemingly redundant move can also prove how much Song Valve cares about Feng Xiaoxiao's attitude and reaction now, and even does not hesitate to appease Song Yuzhi.
Who knew that Feng Xiaoxiao actually refused. If he kicks himself out, under the influence of Song Valve, he is afraid that it will be difficult to control the distant Giant Kun Gang...... This kind of unwise behavior really doesn't look like the evil emperor of the Demon Gate who is far-reaching and single-handedly stirs up Luoyang......
Feng Xiaoxiao saw Song Zhi's doubts and incomprehension, and said with a smile: "If I had the slightest doubt about your sincerity and ability, then I would not have chosen to cooperate with Song Valve from the beginning, so Senior Song doesn't have to worry about my reaction after completion." Just let it go. ”
Song Lu was overjoyed, got up and said solemnly: "Brother Feng is so generous. It really makes me ashamed, and on behalf of Song Valve, I would like to promise that I will not fail your trust. ”
Feng Xiaoxiao's out, if the Giant Kun Gang is completely handed over to the Song Valve, including the waterway transportation of the entire Yangtze River that will be in hand next, the benefits are absolutely astronomical. It's not just the word generous that can be described, but Song Lu can't help but be excited.
Now it was Feng Xiaoxiao's turn to smile and say nothing.
His generous behavior is not a bad intention, but his selfishness is still not small.
Among the many forces in the world, he naturally looked down on Song Valve, who had always insisted on ensuring the Han bloodline. Compared with Li Shimin, deep down in his heart, he hopes that Song Valve will win the world.
But many of these obstacles are not on the outside, but on the inside.
From the recent exchanges, it can be seen that the Song Dynasty was divided into the main battle faction, led by Song Zhi, hoping to expand its power out of Lingnan and into the Central Plains to fight for the world.
The Lord and the faction hoped to stick to Lingnan, with the geographical advantages and the strength accumulated by the Song Valve for many years, no matter who became the emperor, he must be kind to the Song family, which is far away from the emperor, so as to avoid the children of the family from making huge sacrifices.
This faction was led by Song Lu, Song Yuzhi and others, so that Song Zhidu had to make a lot of compromises.
Now Feng Xiaoxiao seems to be generous in handing over the Yangtze River water transportation, but in fact, it really dragged Song Valve to the brink of war......
If you want to occupy the coveted Yangtze River for profit, you naturally have to send a large number of children to defend and defend it, and suddenly you have the most direct border with all the forces in the Central Plains.
Where there is a border, there is friction. Where there is friction, there is strife. Where there is strife, there are casualties. Where there are casualties, there is hatred!
Once the hatred is bloody, the main battle or the main peace, it is up to Song Valve himself......
Not to mention Li Valve, who had already made a profit on the water transportation of the Yangtze River and was about to be driven out, they would definitely not give up, and Feng Xiaoxiao's timely withdrawal would avoid Li Valve's resentment on his head.
Song Lu obviously couldn't see Feng Xiaoxiao's far-reaching intentions, and was still holding Feng Xiaoxiao's hand excitedly, without any assurance and gratitude.
Feng Xiaoxiao responded with a smile, but said in his heart: "The Tao Te Ching has clouds: if you want to take it, you must stick to it." Fools can do it! ”
He thought that the matter was settled, but he didn't expect that there would be minor waves elsewhere......
That night, Song Lu held a dinner to entertain Feng Xiaoxiao, and all the high-level Song valve executives who are still in Luoyang attended, and Song Yuzhi was naturally no exception.
But except for Song Lu and a few other older seniors, all the young generations showed varying degrees of hostility towards Feng Xiaoxiao, especially Song Yuzhi.
In the past, although Song Yuzhi has always been lukewarm to Feng Xiaoxiao, he has not even looked at the corner of his eye like now.
Feng Xiaoxiao's face was silent, still talking and laughing, as if the guests and hosts were happy, but his heart was very inexplicable, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
After the dinner, when he was leaving the hall, he quickly grabbed Song Jie, who was about to withdraw from the guards, and pulled the reluctant Song Jie to the rockery in the courtyard, and asked extremely dissatisfied: "Why are you deliberately avoiding me?" ”
Song Jie didn't have the appearance of smiling all the time, but said in a stiff tone: "The Evil Emperor is the most honored guest of my lord, and the small one is only avoided because of respect." ”
Feng Xiaoxiao smiled instead, and said softly: "People are not sages, who can do nothing!" After that, it can be changed, and it is very good. You have to let me know what's wrong so I can have a chance to correct it! ”
Song Jie was immediately moved.
You must know that Feng Xiaoxiao's identity is very different, and he can say such a sincere word to him, a pawn, if he speaks coldly again, it will be really rude.
He hesitated slightly, looked around a little, and lowered his voice: "Everyone said that you don't look down on the third lady, and you'd rather drive her away than ...... Hum! ”
As he spoke, the anger rose again, staring at Feng Xiaoxiao.
Song Yuzhi is very popular among the younger generation of the Song family, like Song Jie and others all respect her like a god, and naturally hate Feng Xiaoxiao who doesn't know what to do at this time, if it weren't for Song Lu and other older generations to suppress it, I am afraid that the children of the Song family who are strong and strong will jump out to find trouble with Feng Xiaoxiao.
Feng Xiaoxiao's eyes were wide open, and he looked confused...... (To be continued.) )
