Chapter 212 Engagement
This was the first time Xu Yuan saw this sharp-eyed woman.
Regardless of previous life or this life.
Because of the emperor's strange attitude, Xu Yuan can probably guess that he should know the other person in this marriage.
And there is a high probability that it is a princess or a princess.
Now it seems that it is indeed acquaintance, but it is a unilateral understanding. It was acquainted in the internal references of those newspapers about the northern border.
Wu Yuan,
Li Qingyan.
Alright, now Xu Yuan understands why the old man of the emperor showed that strange expression before.
In my memory, Mu Zhiyun is a standard good girl, the kind of good girl who can jump up in fright if you poke her from behind.
And Wu Yuan?
Heh, Yuan Hao, the psychopath who killed so far, may be able to make a small change in her hands.
Who would dare to marry such a woman?
Xu Yuan took a deep breath and asked:
"I remember, didn't you fight in the northern border?"
Wu Yuan narrowed his phoenix eyes, and his voice sounded very comfortable with a rustle:
"The war in the north is not going well, because of the weather there is a temporary stalemate."
"The weather?" Xu Yuan asked intentionally.
Wu Yuan did not suspect him, and explained carefully:
"Blizzard, the once-in-a-hundred-year blizzard, thousands of miles of ice, scout monsters can't see in the air at all, soldiers can't go out of the barracks at all, they can only temporarily shrink and stick to it."
Although he had already known something beforehand, Xu Yuan still nodded his head pretendingly, and then asked:
"So the war in the northern border is still urgent, what are you doing back to Beijing at this juncture?"
"Ben Gong's return to the Imperial Capital is naturally something important."
"Is there something? What's the matter? For this engagement?"
"None of your business."
"tsk"
Xu Yuan smacked his lips, looked at that beautiful face, and said with a smile:
"Although we are not very close, there is a high probability that this marriage will fail. In other words, this son is your husband, so you can't say anything about it?"
Wu Yuan turned around, with red lips, looked at the man in front of him and said with a smile:
"Okay, once we get engaged, I will tell you why I returned to Beijing immediately."
“.”
Xu Yuan was silent, and suddenly asked:
"About this marriage, you have no opinion?"
"Why should I have an opinion?"
Wu Yuan stared at Xu Yuan with strange eyes: "I want to recruit a son-in-law after all. You are good-looking. It is enough for me not to reject you."
“.”
Another woman greedy for his body.
Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile, and suddenly found that the beautiful woman in front of him was tall and tall.
At least about 175, a pair of slender long legs with high heels would probably be at his eye level.
Looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan didn't look away, and asked with great interest:
"I mean, you don't care about my reputation? Or character?"
Wu Yuan stared at Xu Yuan for two seconds:
"Why should I care about such a worthless thing? As for the character, I don't care."
"." Xu Yuan.
Wu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled at him:
"Okay, there's no need to talk nonsense, Xu Changtian, tell me what you think of Bengong, this marriage is unlikely to be cancelled."
“.”
Xu Yuan's eyes flickered twice: "I don't know what the princess's opinion is?"
Li Qingyan pointed to the small path on the lake bank and said while walking:
"Anything is fine, temperament, appearance, figure, any dissatisfaction can be directly expressed, I will consider whether it can be changed."
“.”
These words made Xu Yuan unable to adjust again.
In the previous life, under the arrangement of the old man, he also had a few kisses in a perfunctory manner.
Marriage, business.
It is good for both parties if everyone speaks out.
However, he did not expect that Princess Wu Yuan, Li Qingyan, would be so enlightened.
After two seconds of silence, Xu Yuan spoke slowly:
"First of all, I think marriage needs a little privacy."
"Be more specific." Li Qingyan.
Xu Yuan has a serious expression:
"I have a lot of friends, and sometimes I may not go home for dinner at night."
“.”
Li Qingyan's phoenix eyes narrowed bit by bit, and her voice was steady: "Well, and then."
Xu Yuan chose his words carefully: "I am a laid-back person, and occasionally I go out to relax."
Li Qingyan smiled with a pair of phoenix eyes:
"go on."
"Secondly, I think"
"Yin He, do you think that girl from my family and this kid from your family can succeed?"
Standing by the window, the old man in imperial robe stared indifferently at the lake in the distance.
The breeze blew through the attic, and the tableware on the indoor desk had been taken away by Eunuch Nie, and replaced by a tea tray.
Xu Yinhe sat on the futon and poured himself a drink:
"Chang Tian should be willing. As for Wu Yuan, I don't know much about her."
Li Yaoxuan glanced back at Xu Yinhe, and said without haste:
"Not much? Indeed. Even I don't know Wu Yuan's character very well."
"You don't understand?" Xu Yinhe was noncommittal.
"She followed that guy Mu Zhenbei since she was a child, so I naturally don't understand."
Li Yaoxuan's voice carried a hint of an unclear smile: "But I talked to her about this before, and she agreed straight away."
Xu Yinhe put down the teacup:
"So, this marriage is considered a success?"
Li Yaoxuan's eyes were a little strange, he turned around and leaned against the window rail:
"Don't pretend to be confused, I mean temperament.
"Although I don't know much about Wu Yuan's temperament, but she grew up in the army, and she will not be too gentle. You should know what your son has done in the imperial capital over the years."
Translate, put the two temper tantrums together, you Xu Xiangguo think of a way to solve it.
Xu Yinhe thought for a while, and said leisurely:
"Since he was able to cultivate, Chang Tian's temperament has changed a bit, so he probably won't fight."
Before the words fell, the room suddenly became silent.
"." Li Yaoxuan pouted out the window.
"." Xu Yinhe sighed.
Then,
"boom!"
"Om—"
"Li Qingyan, are you sick?! Are you pretending this is your barracks?"
"Boom!!"
The black dragon carriage was driving on Tian'an Road, galloping in the opposite direction from when it came.
The space inside the car was silent.
Xu Yinhe sat cross-legged expressionlessly.
Xu Yuan also sat quietly, with some bruises on his face.
There is an incense burner on the tea table between the father and son, and the green smoke is floating upwards.
Wide-eyed and small-eyed.
I do not know how long it has been,
Xu Yinhe's voice sounded faintly: "How is the injury?"
This is an opening nonsense, how could this old man's cultivation base fail to see that all he suffered were skin traumas.
Xu Yuan also smiled:
"Wu Yuan has a sense of proportion."
Xu Yinhe nodded and asked:
"Why did you fight with her by the lake?"
Xu Yuan shrugged, ambiguous:
Xu Yinhe did not comment on this statement.
Whether it's true love or acting, it will not affect this marriage, because until now, the three sons have not said that they don't want to get married.
Xu Yuan sighed, and suddenly asked:
"Father, I just asked directly. From the beginning, my marriage partner was Wu Yuan, right?"
Xu Yinhe raised his eyebrows:
"Chang Tian, why do you ask such a question?"
Xu Yuan showed a smile of unknown meaning:
"The reason given by the emperor before was too lame. Mu Zhiyun is a weak woman, and she can't do such a thing by forcing her to die."
Xu Yinhe's eyes are strange:
"You are familiar with that girl."
"." Xu Yuan.
Coughing lightly, Xu Yuan then said slowly:
"Father, when you chatted with me on the way to the palace, you said that you haven't seen the emperor for a long time."
"Before you discussed with Wu Chenghou, I guess Wu Chenghou is most likely the emperor's mouthpiece, and you were mainly talking about them before, and you should refer to the imperial party rather than Wu Chenghou's mansion."
As he spoke, Xu Yuan sighed:
"And from the beginning to the end, father, you never said that my marriage partner is Na Mu Zhiyun, but you have always said that you discussed the marriage with Wu Chenghou."
"There is also the matter of getting married. Although it is an exchange of benefits, the Marquis of Wucheng will not allow me to marry."
"I didn't think so much before, but now that I think about it carefully, it's really a little abnormal."
“.”
Xu Yinhe sat opposite and listened carefully:
"Chang Tian, you are half right."
"Half?" Xu Yuan asked.
Xu Yinhe glanced at the direction of the palace:
"Wu Yuan was indeed the person Wei Fu wanted to marry at the beginning, but the emperor disagreed, so Wei Fu could only settle for the next best thing. Those ambiguous words before were all helpless."
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:
"Why does the emperor disagree?"
Xu Yinhe taught in a plain and soft voice:
"If you become a son-in-law and give birth to an heir in the future, being a father is not only a prime minister, but also a relative."
"Li Yaoxuan can bear it, but there is a bottom line, and the imperial power is his bottom line."
"But if the father is willing, after his death, through this relationship and after layers of planning, it is not too difficult for the palace to change its surname."
“.”
The words fell silent.
The imperial power is supreme, there is no retreat.
Xu Yuan digested silently for a while, and said slowly:
"Father, is it true that His Majesty is running out of time?"
Xu Yinhe is ambiguous:
"I don't know, but it should be soon, but before he dies, he will definitely try his best to provoke a war between the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zongmen."
Xu Yuan understands very quickly:
"The reason why the emperor agreed to this marriage is because of the war in the north?"
Xu Yinhe nodded:
"Well, the sects in the three continents in the north are increasing their troops, and the scale of the war is expanding. Li Yaoxuan probably wants to tie us together through this marriage, at least before he dies." together."
After hearing this, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
"Then we were tied to the boat like this?"
Xu Yinhe laughed when he heard this:
"Why not?
"Nine out of ten people who are unsatisfactory in life, although I want to wait as a father, but the general situation can't wait."
"and,
"Being a father and Li Yaoxuan have the same goal since they were young. Although there are some differences now, they are still the same. Since what he wants to do now is beneficial to the goal, then he and I are still on the same path."
“.”
Xu Yuan found that his pattern was still small.
Xu Yinhe looked at Xu Yuan, paused every word, and asked very seriously:
"Chang Tian, the royal family is not an enemy, unless it is absolutely necessary, absolutely do not attack them."
Incense smoke curled up, and the car was silent.
Xu Yuan looked at Xu Yinhe with a serious face, and felt the father's deep helplessness.
The comrades who have walked together for a lifetime will kill each other at the end of their lives.
It's brutal, but it has to be done.
Because an emperor would never allow himself to keep such a prime minister for his heirs before his death.
If you don't make a move, you will be caught without a fight.
If Li Yaoxuan could live longer, there would not be such a tense atmosphere between the royal family and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even if there was, it would definitely be after the troubles of the sect were eliminated.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan wanted to rely on the information in "Cangyuan" to try to save the emperor, but suddenly found that there was no way to save him.
Whether there is a way for the information in "Cang Yuan" will not be mentioned for the time being. It is now impossible for the emperor to tell them the real situation of his body.
Tell them that it is about the same as setting a time for the Xiangguo Mansion to start the war.
After a long silence, Xu Yuan laughed twice:
"Yes, Father, Chang Tian understands."
Tianyuan Mountain, Bamboo Forest in Back Mountain.
The sound of ding-dong was heard endlessly, and the wind pressure driven by the giant sword almost overwhelmed the surrounding bamboo forest.
The burly old man swung a giant sword very fast. With a skillful swing, the ink sword flew high, and then he was about to smash it down with a simple move.
The girl in black couldn't avoid it, she blinked her eyes in frustration.
The huge sword stopped steadily at an inch of the girl's cold face, and the strong wind pressure blew three thousand black hairs fluttering with the wind.
Retracting the sword, Ran Jianli laughed, and patted the shoulder of the girl in front of him carelessly:
"Hahahahaha, Qing Mo, you have grown a lot. Although you don't use Yuan Qi, you have been able to walk five rounds under Wei Shi's command. Do you still want to come?"
“.”
Ran Qingmo pursed his lips, did not speak, turned around silently and walked over to pick up his black sword, and then walked straight towards his small bamboo house.
“.”
Ran Jianli froze the corners of his mouth while holding the huge sword, and stuck the giant sword in the ground, then quickly stepped forward to follow the girl, sideways and asked cautiously:
"Qing Mo. I can't let the water go when I'm competing with you as a teacher, right?"
"Qing Mo, are you angry?"
"Don't be angry, call you back, isn't this the teacher who misses you?"
"Why don't you say something? When your teacher's wife comes back later, you have to say that your teacher bullied you."
“.”
Ran Qingmo stopped and shook his head: "I'm not angry with my master."
After finishing speaking, he continued to walk towards the bamboo house, and closed the wooden door with a "bang".
"." Ran Jianli.
Passing the back of his head, Ran Jianli grinned and took a breath, talking to himself:
"What's wrong with this girl. She won't be so depressed if she loses in the competition before."
"What are you doing standing at Qingmo's door, you stupid old man?"
Suddenly, a clear and beautiful voice came from the bamboo forest path outside.
Ran Jianli looked back and saw a middle-aged woman walking in. Time had carved some marks on her face, she was beautiful and gentle.
Exhaling a breath, Ran Jianli walked over and drew out his giant sword, and asked with a slow question:
"Xiao Wei, you came at a good time. It seems a bit strange for our good disciples to go out today."
Luo Wei glanced at Ran Jianli, and then at her apprentice's small bamboo house:
"What's wrong?"
Ran Jianli said ramblingly:
"Since Qing Mo went out, he has been practicing duels with me. After losing a hundred times, he was angry and left."
"." Luo Wei.
Ran Jianli quickly explained to his wife:
"Xiao Wei, it's not that you don't know Qing Mo's temperament. In the past, Qing Mo wouldn't be angry if he lost for a day."
Luo Wei rolled her eyes, took out a piece of Dibao from the Sumeru Ring, and patted it on Ran Jianli's strong chest muscles:
"Let's see."
“.”
Ran Jianli took a look at it suspiciously, his carefree look disappeared instantly, and there was a dignified look in his eyes:
"Are Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhe still going to fight?"
While the silent war in the Frozen North continued, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the Great Flame in the form of Tianxiadibao.
Li Qingyan and Xu Changtian are engaged.
