The visit to the Finns went smoothly. After all, Lacey was there, so it was normal for siblings to meet and reminisce about old times.
Then, Fein's attitude towards Chen Xing seemed to be better than Chen Xing expected, at least the hostility was not written on his face. In addition, Fein seems to be very fond of Dongfang Xuanran and seems quite affectionate. It's mid-to-late January, and the weather is a bit cold. Finn even put on a down cloak for his wife to keep out the cold, which is very warm.
Even Chen Xing himself found it strange why Ye Yang Bailiu didn't like him back then, even though he was obviously quite good. He has education, family status, looks, height, and a gentle person. You can't find a good man even if you hold a lantern.
"This is my first time to the Purple Orchid Palace, and you don't want to show me around~" Lacey complained to Finn while looking at the decorations of the palace. The latter immediately stood up, "If my sister is interested, how dare my brother?" Neglect."
In the blink of an eye, Lacey sent Finn out.
Chen Xing and Dongfang Xuanran were the only ones left in the side hall.
Dongfang Xuanran looks similar to the photos on the Internet, but she seems to be in a good mood recently, her skin is whiter, and her body is much fatter than in previous photos.
At this moment, Dongfang Xuanran sat there quietly, looking towards the direction where Finn and Lacey left.
"Ahem..."
Chen Xing coughed twice, and Dongfang Xuanran came back to her senses immediately, smiled at him, nodded and said, "I didn't take good care of you. I'm neglecting you."
Dongfang Xuanran is very polite and calls herself "concubine", usually in front of people with a higher status than her husband. Dongfang Xuanran is the fifth princess of Black Feather, and her husband is the second prince of Red Dragon, while Chen Xing is just a baron from the edge town, so it can be said that he has a lot of face.
Judging from Dongfang Xuanran's attitude, she clearly has a good impression of him.
The two had never met before, so why did they have a good impression from the beginning? Of course, Chen Xing would not think that it was because he was handsome, or because of his explosive masculine charm, or because he was like a king.
So why?
Chen Xing thought about it carefully and guessed the general situation. If he hadn't robbed Ye Yang Bailiu, how could Fein become the Dongfang family's son-in-law?
Sure enough, this world is made up of interests. As long as we have the same interests, we are natural friends.
"I don't dare. I'm just a rough martial artist. Fortunately, Her Highness the Fifth Princess receives me. How can I say that I'm being negligent?"
"Master Chen is too self-effacing. He defeated three armies in Silver Claw a few days ago and his star shines brightly. How can he be said to be just a warrior?"
"Your Highness the Fifth Princess is overly praised. I am just lucky..." Chen Xing felt his tongue was a little knotted. He was really not used to speaking in such a formal manner.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Chen is not only young and promising, but also so humble and polite. If I hadn't been a woman, I might have been very attracted to him~" Dongfang Xuanran said with a smile.
"Haha, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess deserves the award! I actually think that Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess is well-informed and sensible, and she is the one who pursues dreams in our generation."
"Haha, Mr. Chen is really good at talking~"
The two complimented each other for a while, then Chen Xing changed the topic, clasped his fists in salute, and said seriously, "Your Highness, Fifth Princess, I have an unkind request, should I take it seriously?"
Dongfang Xuanran put away her smile, sat upright, stretched out her hand and said, "Master Chen, please speak."
Next, Chen Xing told the other party exactly what he wanted to do, which meant that he wanted her and Fein to convince Duke Black Feather to sit on the front line of Silver Claw.
After listening to Chen Xing's words, Dongfang Xuanran looked thoughtful, and after a long time, she sighed quietly. Chen Xing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he had some bad premonitions.
"To be honest, there have been frequent wars in Silver Claw recently, and I am often uneasy..."
Speaking of this, Dongfang Xuanran's eyes turned red, "Although Qinghe and I have become strangers, he has always been the child's father. Although the Marquis Haitang is ruthless, he is also the child's biological grandfather."
"Now the general wants me to ask the child's grandfather to beat the child's biological grandfather. General, what do you want me to do?"
At this point, Dongfang Xuanran burst into tears.
Chen Xing was very depressed and cursed secretly that he shouldn't have listened to that bitch Lacey and wasted time in the Black Feather Principality. He is a close relative, and his bones are broken but his tendons are still connected. How can he, an outsider, persuade him?
Dongfang Xuanran took out a small handkerchief, wiped her tears, suddenly grabbed the back of Chen Xing's hand, and then pressed her whole body against it, kneeling on the ground, "I only want the general, if the country of Silver Claw is defeated one day, Spare the life of my child’s father.”
Chen Xing's whole body was in bad shape. He was not just here to waste time, he was also here to leave a way out for the enemy...
"Okay, okay, you get up first..." Chen Xing was embarrassed. At this moment, Dongfang Xuanran's breasts were pressed against his arm, exuding a faint milky fragrance, which was too ambiguous. If someone breaks in at this time, he will not be able to escape even if he jumps into the Yellow River.
"If the general doesn't agree, I won't be able to kneel down."
"Promise you, promise you, promise you, can't you?" Chen Xing was forced to have no choice but to
He agreed repeatedly. Isn't it just a waste that pursues true love? Just let it go.
Dongfang Xuanran finally stopped crying, and then sat back down with Chen Xing's comfort.
Chen Xing is the leader of the two, and he doesn't dare to provoke the other party. After staying up for most of the day, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when Lacey and Finn came back.
The matter has not been settled, but he cannot go back immediately. After all, his status is different now. He is visiting the allied countries as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force. The etiquette that should be observed must still be observed.
At noon, the Fein couple arranged sumptuous Black Feather Principality specialty tea for everyone who came.
Chen Xing was almost shocked when he saw it. This so-called special tea is actually the most common "morning tea" in southern China.
You have to drink your morning tea!
This is morning tea.
Crystal dumplings, chicken feet with sauce, three shredded yuba, braised beef brisket with radish, steamed pork ribs with taro, glutinous rice wrapped in lotus leaves, fried radish cake, freshly fried taro cake, braised pork trotters with brown sugar and sour, preserved egg and lean meat porridge...
Each tea snack is exquisite and small, with a wide variety, so everyone can find something that suits their appetite.
While Jian Yue Canglian was tasting, she asked Dongfang Xuanran for advice on how to make it. She probably wanted to go back and add to the master's menu.
Although he saw the delicacies that he had not seen for many years, Chen Xing had a poor appetite and just ate some casually. The matter has not been resolved, and my heart is still hanging in the air, without a solution.
At the end of lunch, Chen Xing found an opportunity to communicate with Lacey alone.
"That's the way it is..." Chen Xing shrugged, "I can't think of any way to convince her."
Chen Xing said "I have tried my best", but Lacey looked at him with disdain, "If the princes and nobles really valued blood and family ties so much, there would be no war in this world."
Lacey's words were like enlightenment, but it only brought clarity for a moment, and soon I was confused again.
Chen Xing reorganized his thoughts.
Do princes and nobles value blood ties?
They must pay attention to it, otherwise they wouldn't be marrying each other everywhere and formulating various inheritance laws.
So, for princes and nobles, what is more important than family ties?
The answer is ready to come out.
That is, right!
Throughout the ages, how many princes and nobles have disowned and killed their relatives in order to fight for power and gain?
Too many to count.
So, what rights benefits can he provide to Dongfang Xuanran?
Thinking of this, everything suddenly became clear.
At the same time, he was also glad that he was lucky. If Salode hadn't suddenly had a problem, Lacey would have become his most troublesome enemy based on Lacey's scheming tactics.
After lunch, Lacey found an excuse to send Fein away so that Chen Xing could get close to Dongfang Xuanran.
"If I strike down the silver claw, your son will be the future king of the country."
Chen Xing's words were so shocking that Dongfang Xuanran was stunned on the spot.
Even after laying down the silver claws, according to the aristocratic laws of the Red Earth Continent, Chen Xing still has to find the blood of the Wei family to inherit the family business. At most, he will be the mastermind behind the scenes.
If he wants to build a country with mercenaries, he can only wait until the Northern Alliance unifies the entire north, and the north and south of the Ambergris River enter the stage of governance across the river, and then/reshuffles the rights, and Aaliya rewards him for his merits and gives him a piece of land.
In this case, why can't these rights that have not yet been obtained be used as bargaining chips to be traded?
Now Fein and Dongfang Xuanran occupy Farrington. Their reputation is not justified and they will have to return it sooner or later. But if Dongfang Xuanran's son becomes the head of the country, and she becomes the mother of the country, everything will be justifiable.
"The general means what he said!"
Dongfang Xuanran's eyes shone brightly and she stared at Chen Xing intently.
"There are no jokes in the army." Chen Xing said pretentiously.
Dongfang Xuanran looked very excited, her face flushed, "If the general really has this intention, I am willing to do my best!"
"Let's just say it clearly..." Chen Xing really couldn't stand this formal conversation, "You convince your father to sit on the front line, and I will make your son the leader of the country. It's that simple."
Dongfang Xuanran stood up suddenly and walked back and forth in the side hall, seeming to be deep in thought.
After a moment, she hurried to the door and called to the maid outside the door, "Bring Luo Er here!"
Not long after, a boy of four or five years old came in holding the maid's hand.
Seeing his mother, the little boy stretched out his pink hands to give her a hug. But Dongfang Xuanran's face was serious and she said in a deep voice: "Luo'er, kneel down!"
When the little boy saw his mother's serious expression, he immediately became serious and knelt down towards Chen Xing.
"This is your uncle." Dongfang Xuanran introduced.
"Wei Luo pays homage to your uncle." The little boy kowtowed and saluted in a decent manner.
Then, Dongfang Xuanran knelt down beside her son.
Originally, with her noble status as the royal princess of Dongfang Xuanran, there was no need to kneel down and bow down to a small rural aristocrat like Chen Xing.
Now not only did he give a great gift, but he also asked his son to recognize him as his uncle.
Little did they know that although the royal princess was noble, Grand Duke Black Feather had five daughters and six sons, all of whom were legitimate children, not concubines.
For such a large family, the rights assigned to each child are naturally very limited.
And the biggest piece of cake must be reserved for the crown prince. For a married woman like Dongfang Xuanran to be given a place to live, it is already very good. It is almost impossible to enter the center of power. Unless you are extremely talented, like Lacey, you will have strong combat power in your own right.
Dongfang Xuanran's talents are limited, and he relies on a large amount of expensive medicines to reach the elite level.
If you go forward, you have to take the hero potion and fight for the chance of a narrow escape. She is from a royal family, with a superior background, and she cherishes her life very much.
Although her husband, Finn Maris, has a gentle personality and takes good care of their mother and son, his talents are limited. He is only a guard at the moment and has no signs of breaking through to become a quasi-lord.
Although Chen Xing's status is not high, he is a real warlord commander, a lord-level powerhouse, and a popular figure in front of the Northern Princess, a real power player.
A strong man who stirred up the storm and flattened everyone. She saw with her own eyes that even though the Red Dragon Princess, who was extremely talented and always had a higher eye than the others, was half a body behind Chen Xing when she stood next to him, it was clear from this that she seemed to be dominated by the other party.
A person like Chen Xing is worthy of her putting down her stature and trying to please him.
Silver Claw is a principality comparable to Black Feather. If Wei Luo becomes the king, Dongfang Xuanran's status will naturally rise and she will enter the stage of power.
Dongfang Xuanran faced Chen Xing and said solemnly, "If Luo'er ascends the throne of Silver Claw in the future, we, mother and son, will be willing to be puppets on the throne for the next thirty years to be driven by my uncle."
"Wei Luo must be like mother and listen to uncle."
Dongfang Xuanran's words were tantamount to directly transferring the actual control of the Silver Claw Principality for thirty years. Of course, it is a verbal agreement. After all, things under the table cannot be signed into a contract and executed in accordance with the terms.
Whether you are really obedient depends entirely on your credibility.
Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh, this woman from a noble family is really ruthless. The father who had been begging him not to kill his child, who had been pleading with her just now, sold her ex-husband and her ex-father-in-law in the blink of an eye.
Once you negotiate the terms, the rest will be easy.
Dongfang Xuanyuan has an upright character and has a grudge against the Wei family. His beloved youngest daughter burst into tears and immediately flew into a rage, threatening to chop off anyone who blocked his way to the front line.
Dongfang Xuanyuan is at the pinnacle of the Great Lord level, only one step away from the Little King level. Although he is not yet a legendary powerhouse, he should be evenly matched against Wei Tianyu, who is halfway to the ground.
It is rumored that Dongfang Xuanyuan possesses a great fake weapon, the "Dragon Sword", which can transform into a giant sword and sweep through thousands of armies, and can transform into an iron dragon and fly into the sky and into the earth. It has very powerful combat power.
Before leaving, Chen Xing met Dongfang Xuanran again.
"Uncle, good afternoon!"
The maid led Wei Luo away. Chen Xing happened to see a trace of milk stains on the corner of Wei Luo's mouth, and couldn't help but be curious, "You are so old, are you still breastfeeding?"
No wonder the other person smelled like milk when he got close to her before. It turned out that he was still breastfeeding.
Dongfang Xuanran's face turned red, "Luo'er is like his father. He has a weak body. I take pity on him and have been feeding him until now..." She suddenly leaned into Chen Xing's ear and exhaled like a blue breath, "If uncle wants to eat, I still have plenty of milk/water..."
"This..." Chen Xing quickly refused, "Don't dare..."
There are many disputes in the field of power, and there is no shortage of women around him. There is no need to covet this kind of excitement, so as not to cause complications.
If he was caught by Finn, he would most likely fight him to the death.
Just imagine, if you were robbed while chasing a goddess, and then cheated on your wife, it's still the same person, how deep the hatred must be.
"Uncle, don't be polite to the slave family. We are all one family from now on, so why should we separate each other? This seems like a natural separation~" Dongfang Xuanran's voice was soft and soft, charming to the bone, and it made people's hearts sing. Ripples, I can’t help but want to try it...
"Next time, next time!" Chen Xing repeatedly postponed and left as if running away. The war was urgent now, and he didn't want to cause more trouble.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Chen is still a gentleman..."
Looking at Chen Xing's retreating back, Dongfang Xuanran murmured to herself.
If any of the dignitaries of the Red Dragon Principality saw this, they would definitely sigh. This is the biggest misunderstanding in the world!
