Chapter 31 Family Banquet
"Excuse me, father, what is the grudge between Marquis Shenwu and my Fan family?" Fan Ruoruo had already spoken, and Fan Sizhe was sensible enough to leave when he saw this occasion. There were some things he was not worthy of knowing, since he had just experienced it once anyway.

"Stop, this matter is related to you, sit down and listen together." Fan Jian said, making Liu Ruyu nervous. Could it be that Fan Sizhe was causing trouble?

"Marquis Shenwu, whose real name is Shen Qingzhou, is from Kyoto. He joined the army six years ago and fought his way up from the vanguard camp. He made numerous military exploits, was demoted to the eighth rank Cheng Jushu, fought the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, and later rode on grasslands and drank from the Hanhai Lake. He made numerous military exploits and was named Marquis Shenwu and General Shen Ce. Even his current official position and title are higher than mine." Fan Jian talked about Shen Qingzhou's experience. Even though he was the de facto Minister of Revenue, he couldn't help but admire the young hero.

"Father, everyone knows these things." Fan Sizhe said. Liu Ruyu had already said that he was an annoying child of other people's families.

"But, you don't know, he is about the same age as Ruoruo, and not much older than Fan Sizhe." When Fan Jian said this, everyone was really shocked. How could a person of the same age be so strong? Everyone knew that Shen Qingzhou was extremely brave, but because of his age and family, no one knew.

"This really is Huo Qubing reborn." Fan Xian was surprised, but he also couldn't forget to complain that the other party was actually younger than him.

"Aren't you curious about why he has no good impression of our Fan family, Fan Sizhe? Do you remember that many years ago, you robbed a secret recipe of a booming cooking shop? It was the idea of ​​hiring people to pretend to be customers. Your mother was there too," Fan Jian said.

"Father, I'm a very good person. I usually give you money. I don't take it by force. No, what does this have to do with you?" Fan Sizhe said.

"Master, could it be that the young boss who was directly dragged into conscription is the Marquis of Shenwu?" Liu Ruyu said a little tremblingly. She had once instructed the conscripts to be nice to Shen Qingzhou, which was considered a bit of conscience.

"What, it's him." Fan Sizhe was surprised. Fan Ruoruo and Fan Xian were listening. They didn't know what was going on.

"That's right. After being sent to the Vanguard Camp, he killed enemies and made great contributions. He has come to where he is today thanks to his military achievements." Fan Jian said.

"Master, have you known this a long time ago?" Liu Ruyu asked.

"You want to ask me why I didn't tell you. If I tell you and you poison him again, you won't stand a chance in the military, he will become powerful very quickly," Fan Jian said.

"Master, that's not what I meant. No, we gave him money and didn't offend him."

"Aunt, what if he thinks that you guys are forcing him to join the army in order to prevent the business secrets from being leaked?" Fan Ruoruo said.

"But master, it really wasn't me." Liu Ruyu said. What was the point of finding an opponent for the master for no reason? She had to explain.

"I know, I was the one who sent him to the border." Fan Jian's words silenced the entire dinner table. No one mentioned Chen Pingping, there was no need.

"Father, you don't have to help me vent my anger like this." Fan Sizhe laughed. Liu Ruyu kicked him directly on the leg. Why doesn't this kid know what's good for him?

"You don't need to know too much about the inside story. You should be careful with your words and actions in the future." Shen Fanjian said. In fact, he didn't want to put pressure on everyone, but since it concerned everyone, he had to let them know the importance of the matter.

"Father, can the conflict be resolved? He has never attacked my brother." Fan Ruoruo asked.

"Ruoruo, he is just a deceived pawn. He may be unfriendly to us, but our Fan family will not be bullied in Kyoto. He will not do anything excessive." The Tiger Guards are Fan Jian's confidence, and this is Kyoto. Do you know the relationship between me, Chen Pingping, and Emperor Qing?

Fan Jian didn't know where the Queen found the child, but it was definitely not a relative of her mother's family. If there was hatred, it was because the Queen had deceived him. When it was exposed one day, the Queen would be even more disheartened. "Be careful when you go out in the future." Fan Xian said, looking at the eyes cast at him, "When we met today, he told me that people above the ninth rank can hear the breathing of people on the other side of the wall. He heard the breathing in my carriage."

"It's already the ninth rank." Fan Jian stroked his beard. He had known this for a long time, ever since he had a fight with Haitang Duoduo.

"Father, do we have to move?" Fan Sizhe asked.

"Why?" Fan Jian was stunned.

"Master, today the kid moved into the house diagonally opposite ours. I heard that it was a reward from His Majesty. I was planning to let Sizhe make friends with him." Liu Ruyu said.

"Yes, I was planning to do business with him. He is so popular in Kyoto now, but who knew this would happen? He won't assassinate us, right? There are very few ninth-grade masters. And he is so young." Fan Sizhe said.

"Don't worry, he is a ninth-rank warrior and is different from the others. He doesn't know Qinggong, so it's impossible for him to come in silently." Fan Jian said.

"He doesn't know Qinggong?" Fan Xian asked in surprise.

"That's why I say he is a genius. He couldn't cultivate true qi since he was a child. After he went to the border, he learned the most basic body-building exercises in the army. He is also born with supernatural powers. To be able to get to this point, he must have a very high level of attainment in horizontal training."

"He is a martial arts genius, sir. We are helping him. Otherwise, his talent would not have been discovered. sir, I won't say anything more." Liu Ruyu shut up.

Fan Xian wanted to laugh in his heart. It was his business that he was a genius, but sending him to die was another matter. How could they be compared?

"I observed this man up close and he seems to be filled with murderous intent. Everyone should be careful," Fan Xian said.

"How can I not be filled with murderous rage? Soon the news will come back that I have killed more than ten thousand enemies, and then one hundred thousand enemies. After killing so many people, you are not afraid of not being able to sleep at night." Liu Ruyu and Fan Sizhe are indeed mother and son.

The dinner was over and everyone was in a bad mood. Seeing that Fan Sizhe was full of worries, Fan Jian just hoped that this troublesome son would grow up. As for Shen Qingzhou, he just had another opponent.

“Xian’er, this man, the Marquis of Shenwu, must be your rival in managing the inner treasury, he is a descendant of the crown prince.

However, you don't have to worry about this person being too threatening. Although he seems to be in a high position, he does not have actual military power, and His Majesty will not allow the Crown Prince to have too much contact with the army and the Ministry of Personnel. "Originally, Fan Jian was planning to go to court tomorrow to see Shen Qingzhou and then tell Fan Xian these things, but after hearing in advance that he had no good feelings towards his own Fan Mansion, he decided to face reality directly.

He had been an official for many years and naturally knew that it was normal to train a prince as the emperor was in his prime, but if you got your hands on military power and official appointments, you would be a little emperor, which was taboo.

The Fan Mansion was very quiet that night.
