Considering that his master was from the Sword Clan, Xiahou Qingyi asked Liang Xiao to go back to his room and wait, so as not to affect the conversation between Liang Xiao and Mu Dingguo.
In the lobby, Mu Dingguo did not sit on the main seat, but sat on both sides with Liang Xiao, holding his hand tightly with a look of joy on his face.
"I already know your deeds and political achievements. You are worthy of being a disciple of the Martial Saint after the Marquis of Lanling!"
Mu Lingxiao and his wife looked at Liang Xiao with even more respect.
The name of the Martial Saint is like thunder piercing the ears!
That Martial Saint is actually still alive...
Even the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong, who were far away from the capital, respected and loved the Martial Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty as much as they did Zhuge Hui.
"Shortly after your mother-in-law gave birth to you, she passed away. We, the old ministers, only knew that you were entrusted to your relatives by your mother-in-law. At that time, I and Prime Minister Zhuge thought that you should be entrusted to Wu Sheng, but for some reason, regarding this matter, Wu Sheng We haven’t been informed for a long time…”
At the end of his speech, Mu Dingguo's expression became a little less calm.
Liang Xiao explained: "My master said that at that time I was not sure whether I could survive, let alone how many years I could take care of myself. If he had taken the first step, someone would have taken me back to Beijing..."
Mu Dingguo nodded slightly and did not discuss the matter in depth.
Liang Xiao also did not reveal too much.
As he rose to fame and came into contact with the current empress, he felt more and more that the bad old man's ideas at home must not be spread outside.
A series of things that happened later also proved his view.
What the old man did was really for his own good and that of the Liang family, and he was very cautious.
After all, he is the only member of the Liang family.
Of course, until now, Liang Xiao still believed that the old man might have other ideas or difficulties, but he just didn't tell him.
Perhaps, knowing too many secrets is not good for you and will affect your behavior.
As long as he can keep the secret of being a Martial Saint disciple as a disciple, everything else won't be a problem.
For example, why can the old man freely enter and leave the Sword Clan's holy land and summon any member of the Sword Clan at will, including Gongsun Xunfeng, the general of Bashu, but he dare not refuse the summons?
As a hidden clan, the Sword Clan obviously has its own clan leader, and the clan leader even had irreconcilable conflicts with his father.
"marshal……"
Just as Liang Xiao opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Mu Dingguo.
"There are no outsiders here, just call me grandpa with Xiaoxue."
Liang Xiao nodded and said: "Grandpa."
Mu Qinxue on the side was secretly happy, her face flushed, her beautiful eyes never leaving Liang Xiao.
Mu Lingxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his sister in disbelief.
On the other hand, A Qi looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
Mu Dingguo then said with satisfaction: "It's not too late to discuss military matters when we go to the military camp. Grandpa is at home right now, so let's talk about family matters."
"Family affairs?" Liang Xiao couldn't help but be curious when he saw Mu Dingguo's mysterious smile.
Mu Dingguo started to brew his emotions first, his eyes were deep.
"Presumably, His Majesty and the Prime Minister have told you about the causes and consequences of the disaster of moving the capital. Back then, Beihu took advantage of the lack of defense in the northern border of our country, brazenly broke the treaty and went south, marched to the old capital, and caught our country by surprise. It was your father who stepped forward and Leading troops to guard key points, bought enough time for Shizu and the soldiers and civilians to retreat, minimizing losses."
"Beihu was gradually approaching. Your Majesty also took the initiative to lead the remaining troops to cut off the rear, and begged me to cover the retreat. At the same time, I asked Shizu to bear the blame for the defeat alone, so as to protect the generals, especially me..."
Liang Xiao just sighed, unable to hide the sadness in his eyes.
Mu Qinxue pursed her lips and stared at her grandfather nervously.
What her grandfather said was...
Mu Dingguo said with a serious face: "So, I and even the entire Dingguo Marquis Mansion owe you a huge favor from the Lanling Marquis Mansion! Later, when I learned that you were coming to the capital, I immediately sent someone to inform Quanzi without saying a word. I will betroth Xiaoxue to you. My granddaughter is both talented and beautiful, and can take care of the family business. She will be an absolutely virtuous wife in the future."
Liang Xiao nodded and said: "Qin Xue is indeed the best girl in the world. I am lucky to be able to enter into a marriage contract with her."
Mu Qinxue became even more shy and did not dare to say anything.
Mu Dingguo was overjoyed: "So, how about you being here today to marry my Xiaoxue?"
"Bah bang bang!"
Mu Lingxiao and A Qi applauded at the same time, looking like they were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
Mu Qinxue's breath was stagnant.
Liang Xiao was stunned and said: "Grandpa, Princess Yunxiu and I also have a marriage contract. In order to prevent Qin Xue from being wronged, they will marry me as legitimate sisters from now on. You should know that."
"I know!" Mu Dingguo smiled, waved his hand, and said, "But you can't understand how grandpa can't wait to see you and Xiaoxue get married. After all, when you get engaged, grandpa and I may not be able to attend..."
"That's true..." Liang Xiao nodded in agreement.
"That……"
Before Mu Dingguo finished speaking, Liang Xiao said again: "If grandpa, you really can't attend our wedding, I will bring Qin Xue to you in the future and hold another wedding in front of you. I think Ming Media is marrying Princess Yunxiu and Qin Xue at the same time, and not letting them go first, lest they be criticized in the future."
If Mu Dingguo realized something, he praised: "You don't want any of them to be wronged and feel that you have let them down. It doesn't matter, you and Qin Xue will hold your wedding here, and only a few of us know about it. From now on, they I still want to marry you together."
Liang Xiao looked at Mu Dingguo with a suspicious look on his face: "Is this okay?"
Mu Dingguo nodded and said: "Then, you enter the bridal chamber again. The bridal chamber has a night of flowers and candles. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Grandpa, I will feel at ease from now on!"
Hearing this, Mu Qinxue's face turned red, and she felt her face getting hot: "Grandpa..."
"This is a great event in life, but it is not very good for Qin Xue. After all, she needs to be in constant contact with the outside world..." Liang Xiao was a little embarrassed.
"If she is pregnant, just let her rest! Doesn't your Liang family just have a heir? You have an heir named Liang, so your majesty and princess don't have to worry!"
Mu Dingguo winked at Liang Xiao with a "you understand" expression.
Liang Xiao was a little puzzled.
Of course Mu Dingguo already knew that Princess Yunxiu was happy, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.
But Liang Xiao always felt that something was wrong, so he decided to politely refuse.
"Grandpa, I estimate that Beihu will go south this year. You should concentrate on dealing with Beihu first. It won't be too late to discuss starting a family next year..."
Mu Qinxue quickly added: "Grandpa, he is just worried about others' safety."
After Mu Dingguo was stunned for a moment, he suddenly walked towards Liang Xiao, held his hand, and looked at him with tears in his eyes.
"Liang Xiao, grandpa is already very old. I don't know who will come first tomorrow or in the accident. I just want to see my precious granddaughter and the son of my benefactor get married. Is it so difficult..."
Liang Xiao saw this and felt guilty, and quickly comforted him: "Grandpa, don't be sad. What do you think of Qin Xue?"
Mu Qinxue muttered: "You guys have agreed, I will obey..."
"Look, Xiaoxue doesn't have any objections..." Mu Dingguo choked.
"But……"
Before Liang Xiao could finish speaking, Mu Dingguo shed tears and grabbed Liang Xiao's collar. His kind eyes were gone and he looked arrogant.
"Back then, your grandfather introduced me to such a good girl. I finally raised such a precious granddaughter, and I just want to see you marry her. Is it reasonable? Just tell me whether you want to marry her or not!"
