Chapter 448 Telescope, Excited Wu Shang

After the news about the Hu family came, Ning Fan was not too surprised. He was already sure that Duke Jing Guo would take action, and as long as he took action, it would be a thunderous blow, and there would be no chance of the Hu family turning around.

This time, the crisis was nipped in the bud, and the Dahan Grain Store and the Daming Salt Store also banned the Lu and Hu families, monopolizing the salt and grain stores in the north and south of the Yangtze River.

However, Ning Fan is not worried about this. The Hu family and the Lu family will do whatever it takes to harm the interests of the world for their own benefit. But now, the Daming Salt Company and the Han Food Company are firmly under his control. in hand.

Eventually we will be on the road to change.

But now, he doesn't want to hand over the salt and grain stores to the court. That time has not yet come.

"Lord!"

"Wu Shang, the general of the northern border, was ordered by Duke Jing to escort some important prisoners of the Hu family to come to see him."

"Martial Arts Merchant?"

Ning Fan was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Let him come in!"

"promise!"

Not long after, a heroic young man who was no older than the weak crown strode into the main hall of the county mansion. When he saw Ning Fan sitting at the head, he quickly bowed his hands and said, "The last general of the martial arts business, please see His Highness King Yong!"

"No need to be polite!"

"Your Highness, on Master's orders, I will escort some important criminals from the Hu family to come and hand them over to you."

"Master?"

"My mentor is Duke Jingguo..."

After hearing what the martial arts merchant said, Ning Fan looked a bit surprised and said with a hint of surprise: "I didn't expect that he is a beloved disciple of Duke Jingguo. General martial arts' future is limitless!"

"Your Highness has given you too much praise. I have long heard that His Highness is wise, powerful, and resolute in his work. He supports the court at the top and loves the people at the bottom. When I see you today, it is just like the rumors. He is majestic and heroic, and he lives up to his name."

"Hahaha!"

After the two exchanged business blows, Ning Fan became more fond of this disciple of Dayu's Army God. This boy could talk, which meant that the road ahead would be smoother.

"General, you've been running around all night, haven't you rested yet?"

"Somebody come!"

"exist!"

"Preparing a banquet, I will celebrate the victory of the general."

"promise!"

Seeing Ning Fan directly ordering people to hold a banquet, the martial arts merchant also showed a somewhat embarrassed look: "Your Highness, the general is acting as ordered. Now that he has been brought here, he still has to go back to deliver business. The banquet is still..."

"Too!"

"In that case, let's forget about the banquet."

Ning Fan was also polite. Now that the martial arts merchant declined, he no longer insisted. Instead, he said with a smile: "General Wu, have you encountered any trouble in wiping out the Hu family this time?"

"Um!"

The martial arts merchant also showed some concentration, and slightly cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the Hu family has been entrenched in the northern border of Dayu for many years. The frontier is bitterly cold and sparsely populated. There are often horse bandits wandering between Dayu and Mobei."

"The Hu family was born into horse bandits back then. Over the years, the Hu family has supported many forces in Mobei. Although the Hu family has been wiped out now, bandits are still everywhere in the north, and there is even a faint tendency to gather."

"oh?"

There was a hint of coldness in Ning Fan's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "You really don't know whether to live or die. If you give them a way to live, they won't go, and they will have to take the road of death."

"snort!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Duke Jingguo has sent several light cavalry to destroy them."

"Although we can't kill them all, we can still suppress their arrogance. As long as they have the intention to unite, they can be extinguished in an instant."

After hearing Wu Shang's words, Ning Fan frowned. After pondering for a long time, he strode into the back hall. When he came out, he already had several more cylinders in his hand and handed them to Wu Shang.

"Come!"

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"A little gift for you. With a telescope, these horse bandits will have nowhere to hide."

"telescope?"

There was some doubt on Wu Shang's face. Ning Fan nodded with a smile and said softly: "Try using this telescope to look into the distance."

"this……"

After the martial arts merchant heard this, he raised the monocular telescope in his hand, stood in front of the hall door, and looked at a branch in the distance. The scene in his eyes was instantly zoomed in countless times.

"this……"

"I can actually clearly see the lines on the trees."

"This tree is at least a hundred meters away from me!"

"The divine object is really a battlefield artifact!!"

With a look of excitement on Wu Shang's face, he suddenly stepped on his feet and jumped directly onto the roof. He raised the telescope in his hand and looked into the distance. Time passed like this little by little until Ning Fan couldn't help but Coughed.

"Your Highness, I am rude to you."

"It's just that this telescope is so magical that I was obsessed with it for a while..."

Seeing that Wu Shang's embarrassed face suddenly turned red, Ning Fan was also very curious as to what he had just seen. However, it was hard to ask more questions at this time.

"Hahaha!"

"No problem!"

"They are just some gadgets. These telescopes can be put to good use even if General Wu brings them to Mobei."

"this……"

The martial arts merchant was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Is it too expensive?"

"General, what you said is wrong. You are guarding the gate of a country for me, Dayu, and this telescope is a magical weapon on the battlefield. It can take into account every move of the enemy. How can it be said to be valuable?"

"It's just making the best use of everything."

"Well, thank you, Your Highness."

Ning Fan heard the system's notification sound, and the martial arts merchant's favorability level for him actually exceeded 60 points in just a short time of burning incense, with a somewhat intimate smile on his face.

"Okay, since you are busy with official duties, I will not keep you any longer."

"When you return to the northern border, say hello to Duke Jingguo for me."

"Definitely!"

"Elai, send General Wu off for me!!"

"Yes!"

After Dian Wei left with Wu Shang, Ning Fan silently took out the only high-definition military telescope from the system space, climbed onto the roof, and looked in the direction that Wu Shang had just observed. His expression froze for a moment...

"Too shameful!"

"Did the ancients also play so much?"

"In broad daylight, the world is in decline and people's hearts are no longer the same!"

"Tsk tsk, so excited!"

Ning Fan was watching with relish until a fragrant breeze blew over. He subconsciously put down the telescope. A beautiful figure stood beside him and was looking at him with interest.

"What are you looking at, Your Highness?"

"Princess?"

Ning Fan was ashamed as if he had been caught red-handed as a thief. His old face turned red. The princess should not be able to see it from such a distance, right?

"Ahem!"

"Nothing, just a look, Princess, why are you here?"

"I heard from the servants that Wu Shang came, so I came to take a look."

"Wu Shang has left."

"Oh!" Li Xiuning looked at the telescope in Ning Fan's hand with interest, and asked in confusion: "Your Highness, what is this?"

"This..."

Ning Fan looked at Li Xiuning's excited look, and then leaned close to Li Xiuning's ear and whispered: "This is a hidden weapon."
