"Marquis Qin, you... Oh my, your visit to my humble abode is a great honor, there's no need to bring gifts. Please co in, please."
When Qin Tian arrived at the entrance of Marquis Ni Yang's mansion in South State, Ni Yang ca forward with a cheerful smile to welco him.
Although Ni Yang was several decades older than Qin Tian, he was very respectful in front of Qin Tian.
"I heard that the mansion of the Marquis of South State is quite beautiful, and I ca today to visit, sorry for troubling you, Marquis." Qin Tian handed the gifts to the servants and walked straight inside.
Ni Yang didn't know the purpose of Qin Tian's sudden visit, and he felt a bit uneasy.
In the court, he had heard that although Qin Tian was very powerful, he didn't seem to take the side of either the Ninth Prince or the Crown Prince.
Nonetheless, Qin Tian had killed several generals of the Ninth Prince and still held great repute in the Imperial City. Such a person visiting his mansion today, could it be for sothing significant?
"No trouble at all, Marquis Qin, please co inside." Ni Yang hurriedly invited Qin Tian in.
Qin Tian, however, stood directly in the courtyard, glancing around, and said: "No, I'm just here to take a look."
Ni Yang was stunned, just here to take a look?
This reason, he couldn't believe.
"Marquis Qin, since you have co to my mansion, may I know why? Is there sothing you wish to discuss?"
Ni Yang asked cautiously. No matter what Qin Tian's purpose was, he was soone with a title but without real power, and he couldn't afford to offend Qin Tian.
"Oh, I'm here to congratulate you." Qin Tian thought for a mont and said.
"Congratulate ?"
Ni Yang was taken aback, "Marquis Qin, what are you saying, what is the cause for celebration?"
"I heard your second son has taken a liking to a young lady from the Murong Family?"
"Oh, that matter, yes, it is indeed so. It's rare for General Murong to favor my second son, and our family has no objection. Hmm, the young lady from the Murong Family is indeed quite beautiful..."
"Murong Fei, beautiful as a celestial fairy."
"Marquis Qin, you know her na..."
Hearing Qin Tian blurt it out, Ni Yang thought of sothing, hesitated, and stared at Qin Tian.
"Not only do I know her na, but I also know that she is destined to be my woman, Qin Tian's woman!"
Hiss!
Hearing Qin Tian's words, Ni Yang gasped, almost losing his balance!
What's going on? Could it be that Marquis Qin also has his eyes on Murong Fei? Could it be that he ca specifically for this matter today?!
Ni Yang felt awkward for a mont and smiled wryly: "Marquis Qin, though you stand high, is it not a bit too much to snatch love in such a manner..."
"If I were to snatch love, there would be nothing to say. But, do you even know how many years I've known Murong Fei? Do you not know, in her heart, she already has soone she likes?"
As soon as Qin Tian said this, Ni Yang's eyes widened.
No wonder it was said that Murong Fei didn't agree to this marriage, no wonder Murong Fei was locked up by Murong Tiannan... it's because she already has soone she loves?
And it's actually Qin Tian, Marquis Qin?!
"Marquis Qin, if you are to enter into a lifelong commitnt with the young lady from the Murong Family, then how about General Murong..."
Ni Yang hesitated.
"There are so misunderstandings between General Murong and , but do you think having misunderstandings would an I would allow anyone to take advantage?"
Shua!
As he said this, Qin Tian directly turned around, his gaze fixed on Ni Yang.
Ni Yang was startled, sensing the killing intent emanating from Qin Tian, he quickly inhaled deeply.
"Marquis of South State, I'm not here today to intimidate you, but rather, to give you a reminder. You can investigate the situation, if Murong Fei is willing to marry your second son, I have nothing to say. But if she's unwilling, and you forcefully make my woman unhappy..."
Qin Tian faced Ni Yang directly, and said: "The City Lord of East Capital City Zhao Wudao, City Lord of Qilin City Sima Qi, kidnapped my woman, do you know the consequences?"
Hiss!
Ni Yang gasped, of course, he knew, they all died!
These two people not only had power and influence but were also under the Ninth Prince, yet they were all killed by Qin Tian!
"Understood, understood..."
Ni Yang licked his dry lips and said to Qin Tian: "Marquis Qin, rest assured, I know what to do. I know how to see the bigger picture, I would never take what belongs to others..."
"That's good to know."
Qin Tian nodded toward Ni Yang and said: "I heard your eldest son is seeking a position? Over at East Capital City, there's a vacant position for a Centurion General, if he's interested, he can report to the Ministry of War tomorrow."
After saying this, Qin Tian turned and left.
"Centurion General?! Thank you, Marquis Qin! Thank you for your help! Thank you!"
Watching Qin Tian's departing figure, Ni Yang snapped out of his fear and was overjoyed.
His eldest son had low cultivation and limited potential, unable to find a suitable position; the position of Centurion General was sothing he couldn't even have dread of!
Unexpectedly, Qin Tian casually arranged it with just a word!
Ni Yang felt imnsely grateful, watching the departing figure of Qin Tian, he said: "So young and so full of vigor, Marquis Qin will surely achieve great things! Alas, my two sons are the sa age as him, yet the gap is so vast..."
Arranging a position for Ni Yang's son was sothing Qin Tian had already ntioned in advance.
Although he currently holds no position in the Ministry of War, he still has many acquaintances; with just a word, a Centurion General position, these people still need to give face to Qin Tian.
...
"Marquis Qin, my uncle found out about your visit to the Marquis of South State's mansion yesterday... he's very angry..."
The next day, Murong Ao ca to see Qin Tian in private and said: "You really angered our old master this ti... he's smashing tables, saying you're too cunning, and he will never let Murong Fei marry you..."
Qin Tian gave a faint smile: "I figured he'd react like that, but let him, I'm just curious, how did Murong Fei react?"
"Her? She was overjoyed, she hadn't been eating much, but last night she called a few maidservants and had a hearty al..."
Recalling Murong Fei's hearty eating, Qin Tian smiled; it had been a long ti since he'd had a al with Murong.
"Marquis Qin, you better be careful, you know my uncle's temper, don't push him to the edge... sigh, that's a poor taphor, don't push him to act rashly. I'm heading back first."
Murong Ao took the things Qin Tian brought for Murong Fei and then quietly left.
Qin Tian shook his head: "That old man, why is he so stubborn... I've already been elevated to the rank of Marquis, higher than his family's title, yet he remains displeased with ? Acting out of emotion."
Qin Tian didn't know what impulsive actions Murong Tiannan might take, but he had a bad feeling.
This bad feeling was confird a few days later—
Murong Tiannan invited over a dozen generals and marquises to his ho to introduce Murong Fei to them!
And every one of these people, without exception, were nobles whose families still had sons who hadn't married a legitimate wife!
