Xu Fengnian nodded and said: "Although I have traveled abroad in the past two years, I have also heard about things in Beiliang. In the past two years, Liyang Chaozhong has been accumulating his own strength, and he has sent courtiers from time to time to divide me in Beiliang. Obviously, there are I've got Beiliang's idea. Don't worry, I will get along well with my brother-in-law."
"Oh, by the way, what happened that day? Why were the soldiers of Da Qin killed in battle or the bodies collected by Beiliang? Why did you say it was to buy time for my second sister to leave?"
"When your second sister returned home, she was attacked and killed on the road. All the soldiers sent by Da Qin to escort were killed." Xu Xiao said slowly.
Xu Fengnian's expression changed drastically.
Xu Xiao continued: "When we first fought, your brother-in-law asked Qingniao and Hongshu to take your second sister back to Beiliang, while he and the soldiers stayed there to buy time."
"The people who attacked and killed that day were those with the lowest level of martial arts cultivation. They gathered dozens or hundreds of them, and a grandmaster took action. Your brother-in-law blocked them all, allowing your second sister to return to the north smoothly. Liang moved to get reinforcements."
"When your second sister and her men arrived, none of Da Qin's soldiers survived, and all the thieves with innate cultivation were killed, except for your brother-in-law and the grandmaster. No one knows what happened after your second sister left that day. What, let alone what will happen to your brother-in-law and that grandmaster."
"Originally, we wanted to use Beiliang's power to conduct a comprehensive search, but a letter came from Da Qin, asking us to stay calm and not let the outside world know about it. Later, your brother-in-law returned safely."
When Xu Fengnian heard this, he felt a chill in his back and said, "This matter is not simple."
"It's indeed not easy, but that's not what you should be thinking about now. Okay, go down and wash yourself, change into clean clothes, and we'll have a family dinner later."
... ...
Beiliang Prince's Mansion, Dining Hall.
"Come on, dear son-in-law, sit here."
In the dining room, Xu Xiao saw Ying Zhu and Xu Weixiong looking intimate, he smiled and pointed to the seat next to him and said.
"My dear son-in-law, as a prince, you have lived in the palace for a long time, so you must have tasted all the delicacies. Today, you and I still have Fengnian, and the three of us mainly drink, and we will stop when we are drunk! Haha! Come, try the Northern Liang soldiers Our favorite green ant wine.”
"Okay, father-in-law, please." After Ying Zhu raised his glass in respect, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's refreshing enough, haha." Xu Xiao drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile.
The three of them drank together for two full hours. Xu Xiao was a little confused. He put his arms around Ying Zhu's shoulders and said, "Xian son-in-law, we are already a family. We must stay longer when we come to Beiliang this time. Let Wei Xiong will take you for a nice stroll in Beiliang."
"Father-in-law, to be honest, my son-in-law really wants to stay in Beiliang for a longer time when he comes here this time. Firstly, he wants to see what Madam's hometown is like. Secondly, my son-in-law has longed for Tingchaoting for a long time, and he also hopes to see his father-in-law. Allow my son-in-law to come in and observe."
"Come into Tingchao Pavilion. It's a small matter. My dear son-in-law, you can come in whenever you want."
"Thank you, father-in-law. This is a toast to you."
"Done."
The three of them hooked up and drank one cup after another until they were all drunk, and the banquet was finally over.
The next day.
Lanterns were hung high in the palace and celebration posters were posted, creating a lively atmosphere.
Ying Zhu used his inner strength to dissipate the last bit of alcohol, stood up, opened the door and came to the courtyard. When he heard the movement outside the courtyard, he asked Hongshu doubtfully: "Hongshu, is there anything good coming from the palace? Those things that were placed yesterday have not been If it was withdrawn, how come new ones were added?”
"Your Highness, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhao Xituan, is coming. He named the young prince twelve years ago and said he would come back in twelve years to accept him as his closed disciple. It will be twelve years tomorrow."
"Oh? Longhu Mountain." Ying Zhu touched the tip of his nose and murmured.
Hongshu said warmly: "Your Highness, it's time for breakfast. The young lady, the prince and the prince have already passed."
"Okay, let's go."
After a simple breakfast, several people came to Tingchao Pavilion. Xu Weixiong went inside to read a book, while Ying Zhu was pulled by Xu Fengnian to lie on the soft couch outside Tingchao Pavilion, fishing quietly, enjoying the scenery and chatting.
"Brother-in-law, when I came back from traveling, all the girls in the courtyard were transferred. I'm really not used to it." Xu Fengnian said while looking at the two sweet potatoes and blue birds behind him.
Ying Zhu smiled lightly and said: "There are many maids in the palace, why don't you transfer a few of them? Your second sister married into Da Qin, so she has to keep a few close maids around her. I have something to do in the future, so I can't accompany you." Sometimes, they are there to accompany me."
Xu Fengnian was startled when he heard this, and responded with a smile: "That's right."
Ying Zhu smiled slightly, but his eyes were inadvertently directed towards a middle-aged man in casual clothes not far away. This man was 30 years old, nine feet tall, and had a majestic appearance. Although his aura was very restrained, Ying Candle can also sense that he is definitely not a human being.
[Sign in Yuan Zuozong, the sixth adopted son of Xu Xiao, and there are currently five people left. After all sign-ins are collected, rewards will be distributed]
When Ying Zhu heard the system notification in his mind, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
When Ying and Xu were lying by Tingchaoting Lake chatting about the interesting stories of Xu Fengnian's three years of travels, a fat man dressed in rich clothes quickly ran towards them.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You are finally back!" The fat man shouted as he ran.
Xu Fengnian sat up and took a look, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, while Yuan Zuozong turned his head away and looked away, his eyes filled with deep disdain.
"Your Majesty, you are back. Lu Qiu'er misses you so much."
The person who came was Chu Lushan, the adopted son of King Xu Xiao of Northern Liang and one of the three eagle dogs.
[Signed in Chu Lushan, the sixth adopted son of Xu Xiao, there are currently four people left]
"Your Majesty, you are finally back. Lu Qiu'er misses you. In the past three years since he left, Lu Qiu'er has thought about you day and night. He has no appetite for you."
Chu Lushan lay on Xu Fengnian's lap with snot and tears streaming down his face, and Xu Fengnian kicked him away with a disgusting kick.
"With your physique, you say you have no appetite? Why do I feel that you are fatter than you were three years ago?"
"Your Majesty, I have definitely lost weight. If you don't believe it, Lu Qiu'er will go to the scale right away to weigh it. If it weighs one catty, I will cut off one catty. If it weighs ten catties, I will cut off ten catties and give them to you."
Xu Fengnian rolled her eyes and said, "What do I want from you?"
"You can just feed the dog and play with it."
Ying Zhu, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times as he listened to what the two said.
"Your Majesty, is this true?" Chu Lushan looked at Ying Zhu at this time and asked Xu Fengnian with some uncertainty.
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "That's the one you thought of."
"Oh my! I thought that the prince's appearance was already unparalleled in the world, but here comes another one who is equal to him. Crown Prince, you will have a rival from now on. Those girls..." Chu Lushan whispered softly into Xu Fengnian's ear. .
Xu Fengnian's face darkened, and he pretended to angrily yell: "What are you thinking about? There is no formality."
