Chapter 18 Many Ifs, Warriors, Wait!
"bite--"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully resolving the crisis. The original deducted 100 points are fully refunded! Because while resolving the crisis, the host also created an effect that changed the original owner's reputation, gaining initial recognition and improving the impression of the people in the fiefdom, and thus gained 100 points each in morality and strength!"
"The total remaining points are currently 215! Host, please keep up the good work!"
Just as the report on the changes in the mechanical points was finished, the system could no longer bear Liu Ziye's ban on it and went online again!
"Host! You actually! Really solved this crisis!"
"Did you have a plan all along? You must have! You just wouldn't tell me, right? I just knew you were the chosen host!"
Liu Ziye didn't want to say anything more to it. "Is there any use in telling you? If it's useless, why should I tell you?"
"Um, host, I'm actually omniscient and omnipotent. I'm an extraordinary system! It's just... it's just... for some reason, I'm temporarily restricted by the underlying rules. I haven't found a way to break through yet, so I make you feel useless."
"oh?"
Liu Ziye's tone was casual, and one could tell from his voice that he was just dealing with it nonchalantly.
The system simulated a hurt tone: "It's true, host."
Liu Ziye didn't say anything. She had previously guessed that there must be something wrong with the system itself, and what the system said in a hurry just now just confirmed her guess.
She then said, "If you were a powerful system, you would also know the enormous risks of my actions. If Iberly or Pan Yi hadn't fallen for their tricks, if Fu Zhen'er hadn't been briefly unconscious after waking up, and hadn't lost her memory of their previous encounter, which would have saved me a lot of effort, and if Fu Mingyi hadn't fallen into the emotional vortex I wanted and been led by me..."
When the system heard this, it couldn't help but think of these consequences.
Liu Ziye continued, "There are many hypothetical scenarios. If any of them came true, I would only have less than five days left to live. You will also have to find your next host soon."
The system was silent for a while. With nothing to say, it could only say emotionlessly: "Host, please keep up the good work!"
Offline.
You'd better go back and find a way to solve your own problem!
From its point of view, this host is someone who will not give up even in a critical situation where he is certain to die. He is someone who dares to scheme against people's hearts and make a big profit with a small investment!
But there are too many random factors in everything.
No matter how carefully thought out a gamble or plan is, there is always the possibility of uncontrollable factors, which may result in miscalculation.
just in case……
It must also make itself truly powerful in front of the host as soon as possible!
Outside the Xiguan Marquis Mansion, Pan Yi heard Du Hui tell Fu Mingyi with his own ears that his only son was not dead.
He sent someone to follow him in and investigate, and the person came back to tell him that the young master of the Fu family was not dead, but was being safely laid to rest in the old housekeeper's yard!
Pan Yi thought to himself, "Oh no!"
At this moment, two people walked out from the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Pan Yi immediately recognized them as the two leaders of the Fu clan who had accompanied Fu Mingyi into the palace. Because of the news he had just learned, Pan Yi couldn't help but pay a little more attention to the two people who had just left the palace. Unlike his initial indifferent attitude, he politely paid attention to the two people.
It's obvious that he wants to talk.
The two men actually looked back, but the look they gave Pan Yi was obviously one of extreme disdain.
He even snorted coldly and walked past him without any intention of talking to him.
Pan Yi: ...
This is so damn embarrassing!
After the two leaders of the Fu family came out, they joined the Fu clan members. After a speech, the Fu clan members gradually cheered loudly, celebrating the good news that the future clan leader was still alive!
Afterwards, the two leaders gave further instructions after the crowd had calmed down a little.
Soon, everyone spread the news from one person to another, and then dispersed. They explained the story one by one to the people who had heard the noise and gathered around the marquis' mansion to watch. Later, they talked one after another about how their Fu family had misunderstood the young Marquis of Xiguan, how the young Marquis of Xiguan and their young clan leader hit it off and became close friends, and how the Marquis of Xiguan himself had suffered a drastic change and had personally served soup and cared for their young clan leader as soon as he woke up...
Even as he was talking, Pan Yi heard someone else say:
The best friends of their young clan leader Fu are all friends of their Fu clan. If anyone embarrasses their friends, the Fu clan members will embarrass them too!
As he spoke, he kept turning his head and signaled with his eyes to Pan Yi who was at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, as well as the guards and soldiers from the Governor's Mansion who were with Pan Yi.
Pan Yi & the Imperial Guards: ...
So angry.
However, there were a total of three to two thousand people from the Fu clan in Yucheng, including women, the elderly and children.
At this critical juncture, we can't create any more complications and can only endure it.
The deputy captain of the imperial guards and the commander of the palace soldiers looked over reluctantly. Pan Yi, who was just looking for a place to vent his anger, glared at them and said, "What are you looking at! Guard the Marquis' Mansion for me!"
The deputy captain and the commander of the palace guards swallowed the roar in silence, then turned around and shouted the same words again to the guards and soldiers next to them.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
"What are you looking at! Guard the Marquis' Mansion for me!"
Pan Yi: ...
I really want to hit someone!
Governor's Mansion.
The palace soldiers that Iberly had instructed yesterday to keep an eye on any unusual movements in the Marquis' Mansion and report any situation at any time have returned.
The Fu clan surrounded the Xiguan Marquisate before dawn and, at daybreak, attempted to storm the mansion, but were stopped by Du Hui, the former Chief Clerk of the Royal Palace, who had emerged from the mansion. It turned out that the only son of clan leader Fu Mingyi had not died in the Xiguan Marquisate at all, but was actually being well cared for and treated as a distinguished guest by everyone in the mansion!
Now, not only did Fu stop attacking the Xiguan Marquisate, but he also publicized the close friendship between the young Marquis of Xiguan and the future patriarch of the Fu family to the people of the whole city!
There was a sudden click in Iberly's brain.
He... fell into the trap!
However, before he could get upset, someone came to report that someone had come from the Marquis of Xiguan's Mansion.
Iberly didn't dare to deny seeing Joe again, and immediately asked someone to invite him in.
The person who arrived was a young boy. He entered the hall of the Governor's Mansion and saluted with dignity, saying, "My name is Xiying. I am the guard of the Marquis of Xiguan. Our Marquis sent me to deliver a message to the Governor."
Iberly's scalp tightened subconsciously, and he had a premonition that what he was about to hear would definitely not be good.
"What does the young Marquis of Xiguan want to say to me?"
Xiying glanced at him sideways. "Our Marquis said that, in order to thank the Governor for delivering the news so promptly, he hopes the Governor can deliver the royal emoluments owed to the Palace in previous years to our Xiguan Marquisate within three days. Otherwise, if any memorials are sent from Xiguan County to Yanjing after three days, the young Marquis cannot guarantee it."
Iberly: ...
He just knew it!
Xiying was still standing in the middle of his hall, waiting for Iberly's response.
Iberly controlled his expression, chuckled dryly, and said, "Okay, okay, I will do my best and send all of them to the Marquis' Mansion for inspection within three days. Please rest assured, young Marquis!"
After receiving the response, Xizhao bowed and prepared to leave.
But Iberly stopped him again and said earnestly, "Wait a minute, brave man!"
Xizhao, who was only fourteen years old and had an underdeveloped, thin body, turned around innocently and looked at Iberly suspiciously.
Are you sure that the word "brave man" is directed at me?
Iberi didn't care about all that. At this moment, even if he called the personal guard of Xiguan Houfu "hero", he would do it without hesitation.
"It's like this, young man. I just learned that something serious happened at the Xiguan Marquis' Mansion this morning, and it frightened the young marquis! Fortunately, the young marquis is a man of good fortune, and the crisis will be resolved on his own. Otherwise, if anything happens to the Marquis' Mansion, I will never be able to escape the blame!"
"Young man, please wait a moment. I will prepare some gifts and accompany you to the Marquis' Mansion in Xiguan to pay a visit to the young Marquis and express my apologies!"
Oh, bring the things with you, fine.
Xiying nodded, chose a seat in the hall, sat down and waited.
Then, he looked at Iberi with a smile and added, "Inspector Yi knows our young marquis's temperament very well. As royals, they are very particular about everything! If it's not a genuine and good thing, they will definitely not be interested, right?"
Iberly laughed so hard that his heart bled. "That's right! How could I not know this? The direct descendants of the royal family of our Great Zhou Dynasty must have good things on their radar. Don't worry, young man. I know my limits! Huh? Hahahaha..."
·
On the third day after Fu Zhen'er woke up in the Xiguanhou Mansion, he drank a small amount of porridge and medicine for two consecutive days and finally regained the ability to have simple conversations.
After Fu Mingyi settled down with several members of the Ming Fu clan, Liu Ziye simply asked the old housekeeper to move to another courtyard, cleaned up this place, added various daily necessities, and asked all the members of the Fu family and the servants in the mansion who were arranged to serve Fu Zhener to live there.
Liu Ziye would come to Fu Zhener every day, and consult with the doctor about Fu Zhener's recovery in detail, take care of her personally, chat with Fu Zhener one-on-one, and also briefly talk about daily life with the head of the Fu family.
Du Hui also came every time. Compared with Liu Ziye whose main target was Fu Zhener, he had a good chat with the leader of the Fu clan and others as soon as he arrived.
"Brother Fu, you're not going to eat anymore?"
Liu Ziye held the bowl in his hand with a spoon in it, and asked Fu Zhener, who was sitting on the bed, for her opinion in a gentle voice.
Fu Zhener looked at Liu Ziye who was sitting opposite her and nodded.
Liu Ziye raised his hand and handed the bowl of porridge to Xiying beside him, and praised with a smile: "Brother Fu's appetite has obviously improved today. He drank a total of twelve spoonfuls of this fish porridge, four more than yesterday."
