Everyone looked at Fang Qing in confusion.
According to their previous thoughts, they did intend to use Xu Ben's identity to create some trouble for Xu Jiang.
As for how big this "point" is, they have not yet come to a conclusion.
But one thing is certain, Xu Ben’s identity is very important.
So why does Fang Qing now say that if Xu Ben is Xu Jiang’s biological son, it will make things more difficult?
Fang Qing raised his head and glanced at everyone.
"Ever since Xu Jiang helped Huo Lie take over, we've been very stable."
When he finished speaking, a relatively young man beside him understood what Fang Qing meant.
"Brother Qing, do you think we are under suspicion?"
The young man frowned and said, "Brother, I think you are overthinking it, because we have never been truly trusted."
The woman from before also echoed, "Xu Jiang hasn't touched us yet. It's definitely not because he trusts us. He's just worried that touching us will trigger a series of chain reactions, causing instability in the future."
Everyone present understood this truth.
They never expected that Xu Jiang would be defenseless against them.
So, if Xu Ben is really Xu Jiang's biological son...
Fang Qing's worry was that Xu Ben showed his defensiveness when they first met.
But this worry, in the eyes of others, is not a big deal.
After all, there has never been trust between the two sides.
However, Fang Qing's expression did not improve at all at this time.
"You have overlooked one issue."
Fang Qing's face was gloomy and ugly: "In our minds, Xu Jiang just doesn't trust us, not that he suspects we will actually betray him!"
The young man asked puzzledly, "What's the difference?"
“It’s a huge difference!”
Fang Qing said in a deep voice, "As far as we know, since those people from the lower city came, they have only spoken to Xu Jiang once."
Seeing that the people next to him wanted to speak, Fang Qing waved his hand: "I know, they may have discussed it privately, but what I want to say is that Xu Jiang's current situation on the front line is more difficult than we imagined!"
"That Xu Ben is his biological son, and Ning Fan and the team he brought with him are also Xu Jiang's most trusted trump cards."
“I don’t know how much hardship people in the lower city have to go through to get to the upper city, but I can imagine it.”
"Under such circumstances, if Xu Jiang had a moment to breathe, he wouldn't just let Lin Chuan come back!"
That's right.
Fang Qing's guess is indeed reasonable and well-founded.
Xu Jiang must have been tied to the front line, so he didn't come back to see Ning Fan and Xu Ben in person.
"And in this situation, even if Xu Jiang had contact with the people in the lower city, he didn't have time to communicate too much."
"On the other side, Lin Chuan just returned to Jinfeng City, and we went out to greet him."
"That is to say, Lin Chuan didn't have many opportunities to communicate with them at that time!"
"In that case, that Xu Ben..."
"And since when did you become wary of us?"
Everyone finally understood what Fang Qing was thinking about.
Xu Jiang might not trust them, and this was something everyone knew.
But is this distrust so great that it needs to be explained to the group of people in the lower city?
Xu Jiang and Ning Fan don't have many opportunities to communicate, and in this limited communication, the content to be discussed should focus on the key points.
And if Xu Ben really lied, it would prove that both parties mentioned Fang Qing during the conversation.
In other words, Fang Qing is with Xu Jiang...
That’s the key point!
The atmosphere in the living room became depressing.
Everyone also understood why Fang Qing communicated in this way.
If they were really the focus of Xu Jiang's attention, then what they were going to do next might be completely exposed under his nose.
The most important thing is that the reinforcements from the lower city have arrived, and they can see it with their own eyes.
With such help, how long can Xu Jiang keep them?
"Brother Qing, then we..."
The woman frowned: "Shouldn't I strike first?"
Everyone looked at her.
"I recently received some news that the people from the lower city will lose some strength after coming up, and their strength will not be very strong."
"It's definitely impossible for us to mobilize their army now, but if we just deal with Xu Ben..."
"I don't think it's a big problem."
A fierce look flashed in the woman's eyes. "We can leak this news to Diancheng! We can work together with them from inside and outside..."
Before she could finish her words, Fang Qing interrupted her with a wave of his hand.
"You are so naive."
The woman was stunned.
Fang Qing narrowed his eyes and asked bluntly, "Who are you? Will Diancheng... even care about you?"
The woman licked her lips, a little embarrassed, but did not refute.
yes!
Diancheng will not pay any attention to them at all.
For a long time, Diancheng has given people the impression of arrogance.
Even a big city like Yaocheng, which was several levels higher than Jinfengcheng, was only accepted by Diancheng after continuously paying tribute and showing goodwill.
And they...
A group of rabble want to negotiate business with Diancheng?
It's just a fool's dream.
"What should we do then?"
The woman panicked: "We can't just wait to die like this, right?"
Not only this woman, but also several other people in the living room were at a loss at this time.
Even though Xu Jiang and Ning Fan didn't do anything, they already felt that their lives were threatened.
If Ning Fan saw this scene, he would probably think of what Lu Yiming once said to him.
"People from the upper city...are very timid."
Yes.
Only Lu Yiming and Xu Jiang have truly lived in Shangcheng.
Only they know what the upper city looks like.
At the same time, Ning Fan and others, who had almost finished reminiscing about the past, also began to bring the topic back to the right track.
"Brother Chuan, what's the situation with Master Xu now?"
Ning Fan said seriously, "I heard the situation on the front lines is quite tight right now. If you need support, I'll take a team there first."
"Not yet."
Lin Chuan waved his hand and said, "Old Xu specifically told you guys to settle down first, he can hold on for the time being."
Since this was Xu Jiang's intention, Ning Fan did not insist.
"What about Jinfeng City?"
Ning Fan asked again: "Is there anything I can handle?"
Lin Chuan smiled with satisfaction.
Although Ning Fan has repeatedly put his own growth in front of him, Lin Chuan is still amazed at the changes in this child.
After all, in Lin Chuan's memory, Ning Fan has always been eighteen years old.
"Old Xu said, if you're bored and want to do something, just do it."
Ning Fan also laughed.
"I understand."
