Violators of the Doomsday Game.

Chapter 268 Look, something went wrong with the gilding
"Uncle Feng, what are you thinking, letting Sister Xian go to meet such a villain?" A young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, with an extraordinary appearance, looked at the Duke of Fengguo, Feng Yu, with a frown.

His name is Nalan You. He and Feng Yaxian have been childhood sweethearts. Although there is a difference in their status, Feng Yu, the Duke of Fengguo, values ​​him very much.

His character and ability are not bad, so he can recruit Lan You as his son-in-law in the future, so he also intends to match the two of them.

Nalan You is also a hard-working person. Later, he became an apprentice and studied military tactics. Now he has returned from his studies and is planning to put his knowledge into practice.

As a result, I had just returned when I heard the sad news of Feng Yaxian's death.

Feng Yu was also filled with regret. He loved his eldest daughter Feng Yaxian very much.

"This matter is also my fault." Feng Yu sighed: "I thought it was just a nobody, so I intercepted the matter in front of His Majesty."

"I never thought that this murderer would be so bold as to kill Xian'er and all the people sent to contact him."

"Absolutely lawless!"

Nalan You actually understood Feng Yu's idea. It was a done deal and he would be able to gain some credit as long as he went over there. It was a great job to gild himself.

Then things were out of his control and something happened that he regretted deeply.

"Uncle Feng, don't worry. I will find a way to retrieve Sister Xian's body and chop off the murderer's head to pay tribute to Sister Xian's spirit in heaven." Nalan You said in a cold voice.

He was actually very angry too. After all, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. Even though they had been separated for quite some time, he would still avenge her because of their past relationship.

In addition, he was supported by the Fengguo Mansion when he became an apprentice. Otherwise, with his family background, although he could afford to eat, he would not be able to learn military strategies.

If you learn these things, you will either be rich or noble.

It is thanks to his relationship with Feng Yu, the Duke of Fengguo, that he is able to achieve what he has today.

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you, Xiaoyou." Feng Yu just felt very tired.

The future son-in-law was trained, and it would not be a problem to revive the Fengguo Mansion in the future, but his eldest daughter died.

It is probably impossible to tie Nalan You up in the Duke of Fengguo's mansion again.

He does have other daughters, but they are not as good as Feng Yaxian.

Feng Yu could see that Nalan You was arrogant and would never look down on his illegitimate daughter.

Even if he proposed it, it would be rejected by the other party.

As for forcing it? It will only wipe out the original kindness.

It is possible to control and suppress Nalan You, but the question is, what is the point?
It would be better to maintain this favor so that when Nalan You becomes successful in the future, he can take care of the Duke of Fengguo's Mansion.

If he fails to make it, it doesn't matter. It's just a waste of investment. This loss is not a big loss in the huge Fengguo Mansion. It's just a drop in the bucket.

"Uncle Feng, please help me track down the murderer with the holy object so that I can take action." Nalan You stated his request.

Given his family background and status, the biggest difficulty he encountered was not being able to find anyone.

He knew that this was a difficult task, but Nalan You needed to send a signal to the outside world that he, Nalan You, was a grateful person.

As you climb up in the future, with such a good reputation to pave the way, many things will become much easier.

What else? You can't just think about repaying a favor.

The motivation that drives Nalanyou to act is indeed repaying a favor, but it is more than just repaying a favor.

He knew that Feng Yaxian was dead and he could no longer use the resources and connections of the Duke of Fengguo's Mansion to pave the way for himself, so he wanted to make the best use of it.

Even though he knew that he could ask for the second daughter born out of wedlock, the upper limit was far less valuable than Feng Yaxian, the eldest daughter.

It might even become an obstacle to his advancement in the future. For the sake of his own future, he could only take a gamble.

The enemy is dangerous, but he is very confident in himself.

"Leave this matter to me."

"But the criminals are violent and ruthless, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to handle it alone."

"I will assign some people from my palace to help you kill this villain." Duke Feng Yu of Fengguo changed his nickname and no longer used a familiar name.

"Your Highness, please don't do this. This is something I really want to do. How can I disturb the masters in the mansion?" Nalan You refused without hesitation.

His purpose was to establish himself as a grateful person, not to really engage in a head-on confrontation with the enemy.

Nalan You was not a man who turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and devoted himself to reading the books of sages.

He is fully aware of the intelligence from the outside world.

Of course, he knew that Qi Sui'an had killed Sharp, the chief judge of the seventh punishment chamber of the Eternal United States' secret force, and he also knew that he could bring disaster to the entire Eternal United States with the power of one person.

With his strength, he is no match for the enemy at all. If they really meet, he will definitely die.

If the forces of Duke Fengguo do not intervene, all you need to do is build momentum for yourself.

Once you intervene, you will be forced to be involved.

At that time, we will inevitably confront the enemy.

If he had this ability, would he still need to use this incident to build momentum for himself?

It's nothing more than a plan for yourself.

However, Feng Yu saw through his thoughts, so he said this tentatively.

After being rejected, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable.

If Nalanyou accepted it, he would definitely sincerely avenge Feng Yaxian, but unfortunately, Nalanyou was still too young. Feng Yu was an important official in the court of the Xuan Empire, and Nalanyou's methods were not up to par in his eyes.

But he did not show any dissatisfaction, just nodded: "Well, since you have this intention, go ahead."

"I'll arrange someone to assist you with the tracking."

There was not much change in his attitude, and there was no order in his tone. Instead, it sounded like, "As long as you have this intention," he said.

But this matter is definitely not over.

In his opinion, Nalan You was just an insignificant chess piece.

If he wants to avenge his daughter, he has to rely on the power and network of contacts in the Fengguo Mansion.

Relying on a young man who is just starting out and full of calculations?
It's simply impossible to get anything done.

"Thank you, Duke. I will definitely live up to your expectations in this matter." Nalan You quickly expressed his opinion.

Just say it first, the actual situation will naturally change according to the changes.

"It's all my duty. After all, you've put in a lot of effort." Feng Yu said, and chatted with Nalan You about some family matters to enhance their relationship.

After about half an hour, Nalan You was allowed to leave.

His eldest daughter died, but his son was still alive, so in the future, only his son would inherit the title of Duke of Fengguo.

And if Nalan You doesn't die this time, there is a very high possibility that he will soar to the sky in the future.

This is how you accumulate connections.

The kindness gained by helping someone in time of need is always deeper than that gained by adding icing on the cake.

Even though Nalan You thought he had left the Duke of Fengguo's Mansion, in fact, even if he became powerful in the future, all factions in the Xuan Empire would only think that he was born as the Duke of Fengguo.

This label is tied to his gratitude, and once he wants to break away from it, his personality will collapse.

So Feng Yu wouldn't suffer any loss at all.

It was just that Nalan You was young, so he didn't realize that he had been tied to the Duke of Fengguo for a long time.

Ever since he received funding from the Fengguo Mansion, there has been no way for him to get away.

Once he leaves, he will be a typical example of betrayal and ingratitude, and it will be much more difficult for him to climb up.

No one is willing to accept an ungrateful person.

At most, they will just exploit him and throw him away when he is no longer valuable.

Nalanyou's thoughts were just his own assumptions.

"What a pity, if... Alas." Feng Yu sighed. If Feng Yaxian hadn't died, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Feng Yu really liked this eldest daughter. In addition to the factors of kinship and blood relationship, it was also because Feng Yaxian possessed political value.

Even if she failed to become a couple with Nalan You, she could still be married off as a political marriage.

As the eldest daughter of a duke, her status as a bargaining chip in a political marriage is still very important.

And such a bargaining chip was shattered during the gilding process. How could Feng Yu not be angry? He was angry and hateful.

I wish I could skin that iron-armored man alive and pull out his tendons.

Even if the cause of this incident was that he had to intercept, Feng Yaxian would not have died if he had not intercepted.

But how could Feng Yu blame himself? He could only blame the enemy.
-
"If I were alone, this would be extremely dangerous."

"I have to ask my classmates with status and background to lend me a hand."

"I can gain fame, and they can also use it to gain some favor from the Duke of Fengguo's Mansion." Nalan You was thinking about this matter.

He got along very well with his classmates, and no one made things difficult for him because of his background and identity.

After all, Nalan You considered himself a commoner, but in fact, in the eyes of his classmates, he was the son-in-law of the Duke of Fengguo.

Otherwise, can I learn military tactics through the relationship with the Duke of Fengguo's Mansion?

There is no need to make things difficult for and mock Nalan You. This is not a slap in the face of Nalan You, but a slap in the face of Feng Yu, the Duke of Fengguo.

Those who can go to school together are all elite children trained by their respective families. It is impossible for them to be so brainless in the way they treat others and behave.

Even if they refuse, it will not be so direct, but will be done in a tactful way.

Nalan You’s idea was good, but now that he no longer had the status of the Duke of Fengguo’s son-in-law, his classmates might not necessarily give him this face.

After all, not everyone needs to curry favor with Duke Fengguo, especially since this matter involves risk to his life. If he fails to do it well, he may even lose his life.

The next level is even worse, as it might offend the Duke Fengguo's Mansion.

So it is better not to go. With their own status and position, there will naturally be people who will help them as stepping stones in a way that is less risky and has less consequences.

There is no need to choose to agree to Nalan You unless you really have a very deep affection and relationship with Nalan You.

Nalan You didn’t understand this for the time being. After all, in school, he didn’t understand the difference in status between the two parties.

Subconsciously, he thought that there was not much difference between his classmates and they all needed to work hard to succeed.
