"Liang Xiao shot??" Gong Yangte couldn't believe his ears.
"It's absolutely true! Rumors have spread outside that the place where the pigeons are kept has been taken away! Fortunately, no one has been captured yet. The Beihu people received the news in advance and fled..."
Gongyang Te gritted his teeth after listening to the report from his personal guard: "This beast has ruined my good business as soon as it came and destroyed my family's key to contacting the Beihu! He is temporarily dormant and sends someone to secretly inform the other Beihu people in the city to see what he does first. !”
Just as the bodyguard was about to leave, Gong Yangte called him again.
"By the way, is there anything going on over there with Xiahou Qun?"
The guard replied: "There is no news from King Wu yet!"
Gongyangte took out the secret letter from his sleeve, handed it to his bodyguard, and warned: "Pay close attention, the Gongyang family needs the support of King Wu of Chu! I recently sent someone to look through the household registration and found that there were two people in Dazhou. The Xiahou clan once lived in Yanzhou and Jixian respectively, and they may be the Dachu clan. After the disaster of moving the capital, these Xiahou clans have disappeared."
The guards were shocked, agreed repeatedly, and left urgently.
At the same time, in the Imperial Garden of Dachu Palace.
Xing Feng and Li Xinwen were summoned by the Emperor of Chu.
The emperor with gray temples has a calm aura and a peaceful expression, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle, making people dare not look up.
Xing Feng and Li Xinwen sat on opposite sides.
Next to Emperor Chu, Princess Da Chu, with long hair reaching her waist and dressed in purple, was looking lovingly at Xing Feng, who was sitting opposite her.
"Xinwen, do you really want to resign from all positions and become a white man?"
Emperor Chu finally broke the long silence.
Li Xinwen left the table and knelt down, pleading: "I only ask my emperor to grant you permission!"
"What are your plans after you leave office?" Emperor Chu asked.
Li Xinwen replied: "I am just a woman who has benefited from the glory of her fathers, but is actually mediocre in ability. I am unworthy of my emperor's cultivation. How dare I sit down and eat nothing? After leaving office, I will act with my heart and live up to the people of the world. No matter when and where, I will always be a minister of Great Chu..."
"It's far-fetched, Xinwen, you have something on your mind." After the princess sighed, she looked at Xing Feng again, "Xing Lang, what do you think?"
Xing Feng thought for a while and said: "In my humble opinion, General Li has no interest in officialdom. As a woman, it is time for her to retire after her achievements."
Emperor Chu smiled: "Aiqing, are you worried that she will steal your limelight in the future?"
Xing Feng said: "I am only loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Fame and power are all external things."
Only then was Emperor Chu satisfied. He glanced at his beloved daughter and said regretfully: "I have obtained Yan'er's consent. If Xinwen doesn't mind, I can accept her as my adopted daughter and grant her the title of princess. They will become sisters. Then I can be betrothed to you together with my direct descendants to show my honor and favor."
Xing Feng was startled, while Li Xinwen felt tense.
"I am grateful for His Majesty's grace, but I do not agree with General Li. I will disappoint Your Majesty!" Xing Feng, who quickly recovered, declined politely.
"That's okay." Emperor Chu sighed helplessly.
Li Xinwen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xinwen, just follow your heart. But this great Chu woman belongs to you. No matter when and where you are willing to return, I will allow you to resume your post. I will give you one last task: If you travel to Da Zhou, please bring the official documents and tokens, and pay a visit for me. Are there other Xiahou clans in Da Zhou... The King of Wu has been very restless recently."
Li Xinwen was extremely grateful for Emperor Chu's decision.
"I accept your order!"
After Emperor Chu left, Princess Chu retreated, leaving only Xing Feng and Li Xinwen.
"Xinwen, are you going to Dazhou?"
Hearing the princess's earnest inquiry, Li Xinwen nodded and said: "I must keep the appointment! Moreover, after returning to China, I often reflected on myself. I only felt that I was ridiculous and naive. I only hope that when I return, I can be like a mirror and let go of the past. The obsession..."
The princess was silent for a moment and smiled helplessly: "I am waiting for you here. No matter when you come back, you and I are still sisters. I will continue to ask my father to make you a princess."
Li Xinwen was ashamed to thank her and did not dare to look at Xing Feng and the princess again.
The princess looked at Xing Feng, but the latter just looked as usual.
After Li Xinwen left, the princess asked: "Mr. Xing, does she have a crush? Why did she make a promise to a teenage girl?"
Xing Feng was stunned and said: "Maybe, but she is brave and heroic, and she is destined to leave here..."
At the moment, Xing Feng no longer concealed anything and told the princess about their experiences in Da Zhou.
The princess became more and more sad as she listened, and shook her head helplessly.
"Let her be, as long as she returns safely."
The carriage of Dingguo Hou Mansion drove towards the military camp.
Liang Xiao and Mu Dingguo were riding in the same car.
The old and young people were chatting happily in the car.
"To be honest, in order to pursue your grandma, your grandfather actually asked Xiaoxue and her grandma to help him in exchange for my help. I regarded him as a brother, and he let such a... well, a strange woman take me down, you say, Who can not be angry!!"
"However, you are sincere to Xiaoxue and reasonable. I am satisfied. She will be a good wife and mother."
Liang Xiao listened to Mu Dingguo's complaints and behaved like a real grandson.
The old man had told him about his grandfather and Marquis Dingguo.
It is said that Mrs. Mu fell in love with Mu Dingguo and took the initiative to approach him, but Lao Lanlinghou accidentally discovered her violent side. After negotiation, the two hit it off and reached the deal Mu Dingguo said.
At that time, Mu Dingguo was focused on making great achievements, and he was quite determined that "the Huns are not destroyed, so why should we take care of our family?"
In order to force Mu Dingguo to submit, Lao Lanlinghou even came up with a crooked idea to get Mu Dingguo drunk, and then asked Mrs. Mu to force him to get married on the pretext of cooking raw rice.
The poor Marquis of Dingguo didn't know until the night of the wedding that his wife was still a young girl. It was only after many years that he discovered that this woman was extremely powerful and powerful...
Therefore, when Liang Xiao discovered that Mu Dingguo was playing such a prank to get revenge on his grandfather, his attitude changed completely and he decisively agreed.
It’s not a loss anyway!
If he doesn't agree, the furious Marquis Lao Dingguo may be in danger of his life.
After Mu Dingguo finished complaining, he felt refreshed and asked: "How is the taming of Bai Longying?"
"It is ready to go to the battlefield. It is more courageous than ordinary war horses. It is not afraid of noise or crowds. I heard from the girls in Tsing Yi that it has kicked an adult tiger to death." Liang Xiao replied.
Mu Dingguo couldn't help but look envious: "When I first saw Bai Longying with my own eyes, I knew that this was a divine horse with spirituality, and it was a fierce horse among the fierce horses. You have such a magical horse, and the Prime Minister must have also I feel more at ease. You don’t know that in the letter the Prime Minister wrote to me, there are only a few words that will never leave you, this descendant."
Liang Xiao was moved in his heart and nodded repeatedly, saying: "The Prime Minister loves you so much. I am the best way to repay him by serving my country as a loyal king!"
Mu Dingguo smiled happily, frowned again, and reminded: "Do you know about your parents and Jian Wuyi? This person was the apple of the eye of the previous leader of the Sword Clan, but now he has become the mentor of the Red Blood Sword... "
