Jishui County

Inside the Santo's Mansion
Lian'er, the maid in the backyard, ran quickly from the front yard into the inner courtyard with a letter in her hand. As soon as she entered the door, the little girl shouted happily to her young lady:

"Miss, Miss Biao wrote back saying that she will be here the day after tomorrow, and Master Aotian will come with her."

Originally, Nangong Shiluo, who was looking out of the window with blank eyes, had a rare surprise on her face when she heard her maid said that her cousin was coming soon.

After receiving the letter handed over by the servant girl Lian'er, the girl carefully read it twice, then frowned and said:
"Nangong Aotian, he has nothing to do here to fetch water, and what's more, my cousin asked him to come with me."

Maid Lianer whispered:

"The person who sent the letter said that last month, Master Aotian broke through the physical training realm. The master asked me to tell the lady that the master sent a letter saying that Master Aotian came here specially for your business."

Nangong Shiluo looked at her maid in puzzlement and said:
"For my business, what do I need to trouble him for?" He snorted coldly, as if he was very disdainful of the young master Aotian that his maid was talking about.

"This, this..." the little maid hesitated, wondering if she should tell her lady what she had heard.

Nangong Shiluo saw that her maid was hesitating, as if she was hiding something from her, so she pretended to be displeased and said:

"Hold? Lian'er, is there anything else you haven't told me?"

The little maid looked anxious for her own lady and said:

"I heard that Miss Biao and Master Biao are also here with the third young master of the An family, An Yuzuo."

After finishing speaking, the little maid carefully looked at her young lady. She knew that Young Master An Yubei An San was one of the leading figures in the younger generation of the An family.

A gentleman is like jade, which is well reflected in An Yuzuo, who has always been deeply loved by the older generation in his dealings with others.

Three years ago, on Nangong Shiluo's 13th birthday, she met An Yujia who was a guest at Nangong's home in Jingzhou.

At that time, Nangong Shiluo followed her father to visit her grandfather just because her grandfather missed her.

Unexpectedly, after that time, when An Yujia fell in love with her at first sight, he immediately proposed marriage to Nangong Shiluo's grandfather, which made everyone in the Nangong family dumbfounded.

I don't understand why Young Master An San, who has always been strict with etiquette, would make such a request, but the Nangong family unanimously rejected it tactfully.

The reason is very simple, not because An Yuzhu is not good enough, but because the relationship between the two does not allow it.

Nangong Qing, the Patriarch of the Nangong Family, and An Haoran, the Patriarch of the An Family, are in the same robes, and both serve Nanshenhou Xuetongtian.

If only the two of them were so simple, it would be great. The marriage between the two families makes Qin Jin a good friend, and it is also a very good thing to help each other.

Other families did the same, and Nan Shenhou didn't care about these trivial matters.

The biggest problem is that Nangong Patriarch Nangong Qing and An Family Patriarch An Haoran are two of the three most important generals under Nan Shenhou Xue Tongtian's subordinates.

Nanshenhou Xuetongtian holds 300 million troops in southern Xinjiang, guarding hundreds of counties in the five states of southern Xinjiang during the Dayu Dynasty. Together with his ability to indirectly mobilize millions of defenders in each state, no one in southern Xinjiang can shake his power.

And Nangong Qing and An Haoran are Xuetongtian's confidant generals, the second of the three generals, and they control two-thirds of the 300 million elite army directly under the Nanshenhou Mansion.

If the two of them get married, what will Xue Tongtian think? Even if the two of them are Xue Tongtian's trusted confidantes, who can guarantee that they will not have other thoughts in the future.

Therefore, when An Yubo proposed marriage, the two families had no intention of thinking about it, so they agreed to reject it, but the fire could not be contained, and no one knew who disclosed the news.

However, seeing that his father and grandfather and the members of the Nangong family refused to agree, he went directly to Nanshenhou's mansion and asked Nanshenhou Xuetongtian to make the decision for him.

This news snowballed, causing a sensation in the official circles in southern Xinjiang, and the generals in the army even talked about it.

This caused Xueshenhou, Nangong family and An family a headache, especially Nanshenhou Xue Tongtian once wondered if it was a trick by his own subordinates.

Therefore, she had to choose a compromise and let Nangong Shiluo decide whether to marry or not. Obviously, Nangong Shiluo didn't have the slightest affection for An Yubo, and everything was just An Yubo's wishful thinking.

This made everyone heave a sigh of relief. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Nanman endured for a hundred years and always wanted to invade the southern border and regain their lost land.

But it is not so easy to invade southern Xinjiang. The 300 million elite army under Guangguang Nanshenhou Mansion needs the barbarians to fill it with tens of millions of elite barbarians.

Although the barbarian population is quite large, about [-] million people in total, the barbarians are not unified, they are divided according to the tribal situation.

Generally speaking, the barbarians are divided into two groups, one is the southern barbarians and the other is the northern barbarians.

The Northern Man was far away from the territory of the Dayu Dynasty, and there were no disputes, so the Northern Man did not want to lie in this muddy water.He didn't have the intention to help the Nanman regain the territory.

A hundred years of endurance made the patriarchs of the tribes in the Southern Man unable to wait. They waited too long, especially the masters in the Southern Man. Their lifespan is not much left, so they have always wanted to lead their tribe to kill return.

In recent years, there have been continuous wars in southern Xinjiang, and they were all used by the Nanman people to train their troops. The several sneak attacks were all noticed by Nan Shenhou Xue Tongtian, and the Nanman people have not been able to succeed for several years.

This made the upper echelons of the Nanman always think that if they want to regain the lost ground, the first thing is to solve the Nanshenhou Xuetongtian first.

So, all the Nanman masters came out and ambushed Nanshenhou Xuetongtian who was inspecting the frontier a month ago. Although, most of the Nanman masters who came to sneak attack lost most of them.

But Nanshenhou Xuetongtian was also seriously injured, and he retreated as soon as he returned to Nanshenhou's mansion.This made the entire southern border and even Nanshenhou Mansion without a leader for a while.

At this time, the imperial court also took the opportunity to intervene, which made everyone in Nanshenhou mansion anxious, thinking, 'If the imperial court is allowed to intervene in southern Xinjiang affairs, then their good days will come to an end. '

Therefore, Xiang Chunqiu, one of the three generals of the Nanshenhou Mansion, immediately elected Xue Tongtian's grandson, Xue Lingyun, to temporarily control the affairs of the Nanshenhou Mansion.

The most elite of the Nanshenhou Mansion is not the 300 million elite army, but the prestigious 30 blood god army. The blood god army has not been under the jurisdiction of the imperial court since its establishment.

It belongs to the private army of Nanshenhou Xuetongtian, they only obey the orders of Nanshenhou Xuetongtian, and if they want to join the Blood God Army, they must reach the physical training state to join.

At this time, Xue Tongtian of Nanshenhou was seriously injured and retreated. However, two of Nanshenhou's sons died in the battle against the Nanman in his early years, leaving only his grandson Xue Lingyun.

Although Xue Lingyun has just turned [-], at such a young age, he has already broken through the physical training state, and even reached the second-rate peak state.

Under such circumstances, the Blood God Army would naturally follow Xue Lingyun's orders, and only Xue Lingyun followed suit.

Xiang Chunqiu, who was the first to suggest that Xue Lingyun temporarily control the southern border affairs, naturally got Xue Lingyun's favor, which made Nangong's family and An's family feel a little uncomfortable.
