Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 210: Oh No, Something Happened

Several powerful families entered Yuguan Gate one after another. Seeing the earth-shaking changes in Yuguan Gate, they couldn't help but become curious about the Princess of Jingning County.

What kind of person is she?

The heads of the four major families gathered in Mingyuexuan and asked this question at the same time.

The head of the Zheng family had a deep expression on his face. "She is not an ordinary woman. She is the one who can save the women of the Ning family by herself and escape unscathed from the presence of the late emperor."

The late emperor was notoriously suspicious and jealous. I don’t know how many high-ranking officials fell under his suspicion.

However, Ning Zhiwei was able to remain safe and sound. It must be said that he is quite capable and should not be underestimated.

"Moreover, she is the head coach of the Ning family army."

This is what the aristocratic families fear the most, and it is one of the reasons why they have to come.

Otherwise, how could a mere woman cause them to mobilize so many troops?

The head of the Yu family sneered, "It's unheard of for a woman to be the head coach. It seems that the Ning family is in trouble. The men can't support it, and they rely on women to hold the scene. Sooner or later, it will be over."

They instinctively despise women, look down on women, exclude women from showing up in public, and extremely hate women in power.

The head of the Du family is a thousand-year-old fox, shrewd and calculating, and often plays the role of a military strategist.

"That's right, the Ning family is a hundred years old. What a pity."

Although he said it was a pity, his face was full of smiles and he couldn't hide his excitement.

Power waxes and wanes. When the Ning family falls, the power vacuum left behind gives them an opportunity. They have everything, but who would complain about having too much power?

They discussed how to overthrow the Ning family and replace them to become the true masters of the Northwest.

For the past hundred years, with the Ning family putting pressure on them, they had no choice but to endure it, but now, they finally had the chance.

After discussing numerous response plans, the head of the Lian family finally said with a smile, "Reopening the trade market this time is a great thing, but it is not a woman's turn to take the lead. Let our four major families share her worries."

"Yes, we share our worries." The four of them smiled at each other, "Our four families have always been united and have always stood together, and this time is no exception."

"I agree."

The four of them smiled complacently, as if everything was under their control.

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant rushed in in panic, "Oh no, oh no, something has happened."

Patriarch Zheng was startled. "What happened?"

The servant said hurriedly, "The young masters were captured by the city guards while they were playing in the city and were thrown into prison."

The four family heads turned pale when they heard this. "How dare the city guards touch my son?"

The head of the Lian family was furious. "Who gave the order? Tell him to release the man immediately. I will pretend that this incident never happened. Otherwise, you will have to wait for our Zheng family's revenge."

"Take my post over and ask him to give our Yu family some face."

"Send my note to him as well, and give him one hour to send the young master back."

This is completely treating Yumen Pass as one's own territory.

"Tell him that our Du family doesn't have a good impression of him."

They were more arrogant than each other. They didn't even ask what trouble those guys had caused. They just kept clamoring and habitually used their power to suppress them.

Dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain forever. They have firm control over countless resources, including soldiers, money, food, and vast tracts of land.

When officials take office, the first thing they have to do is pay their respects to these aristocratic families; otherwise, their government orders will have difficulty being implemented.

In a blink of an eye, the invitations from the four families appeared in front of Ning Zhiwei's desk. She played with the invitations with a cold look in her eyes. "These trouble-making dandies can't sit still for a day. They know the prohibition of Yumen Pass, but they still dare to be so presumptuous. The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked. These old guys are not good people either."

These playboys were restless and kept clamoring to go to brothels. However, there were no brothels in Yumen Pass, not even a single one.

Unwilling to give up, they rode their horses through the busy streets, knocking over countless stalls and injuring countless passers-by.

As a result, the city defenders immediately stepped forward to stop them and captured all the playboys.

Huo Shaokang bowed and stood by, and asked respectfully, "City Lord, what should we do?"

He was convinced by this master. She made drastic reforms right from the start and brought the city back to life in a short period of time.

At the same time, she ensured that the defenders had enough food and clothing, which was enough to make them obey her orders.

In the military, the strong are respected, regardless of gender or age.

Ning Zhiwei said indifferently, "Ignore, don't see, don't care."

"Yes."

The heads of the four major families waited until dark but received no response. Faced with their crying family members, their faces became extremely ugly.

Since they are so disrespectful to us, don't blame them for being rude.

The banquet began, and the guests, dressed in gorgeous clothes, came in one after another. As soon as they entered, they were stunned to see Ning Ran and Huo Shaokang standing side by side, greeting the guests with smiles on their faces.

These two people never attend banquets, especially Ning Ran, who rarely shows up, like a dragon that is hard to find. However, his outstanding military achievements have frightened countless Jin people.

"General Ning, I didn't expect you to attend the banquet. We are honored to see you."

Ning Ran nodded slightly, "Please."

The female members of the family were entertained by Madam Ning and a group of other ladies. The female members were more concerned about the news about Young Master Ning and tried to get information from him in various ways.

This was the first banquet held after the Ning family army encountered trouble, and everyone was more concerned about whether the Ning family still had a future.

This made the female members of the family feel a little uncomfortable. Is it not possible without a man to support them?

Ning Ran was surrounded by people, and everyone was praising him non-stop.

The four family heads praised him to the skies, "General Ning, you have protected the Northwest border and the people of Northwest China with your own strength. We toast to you."

Everyone raised their glasses to toast him with smiles on their faces. Ning Ran looked at them deeply, raised his glass and took a sip.

Seeing this, everyone felt relieved. "General Ning, you are a hero in everyone's heart. With you, we can stay here safely. The people of the northwest want to thank you."

"General Ning, you know that the people respect you like a god and worship your longevity tablet at home. May you live a long and healthy life."

If people are praised by everyone in turn, most people will be flattered to the point of losing their way and becoming drifting without knowing what to do.

"General Ning, I feel sorry for you. You have made outstanding military achievements and are qualified to be a marquis. But now you have nothing. This is unfair."

"Who said it wasn't? Everyone is standing up for you. This shouldn't be normal. Why can't you even give him a decent official position? Is there someone obstructing you?"

Ning Ran had known that these people were restless, but he did not expect that they would sow discord so blatantly and even flirt with the Princess of Jingning in public.

They are so brave! Do they know who their opponent is?

You are so arrogant, no wonder the master wants to catch you all in one fell swoop.

A voice announced, "The city lord has arrived."

Everyone looked towards the door.
