"Is that consent?"
Zheng Jibo asked.
"this……."
Zheng Chang'e was angry and her face became shy again: "Oh, grandpa, you are bullying me."
"I, I'm ignoring you!"
When Zheng Jibo saw this, he laughed calmly.
It seems.
This is a sure thing.
As long as the King of Chu marries his granddaughter, then the family is considered to have boarded the boat of the King of Chu's Mansion.
Direct blood relatives of women with the fifth surname and Qiwang basically use marriage to strengthen the bond between the other party and their own family.
Just like when Zheng Guanyin married Prince Li Jiancheng, he also had other daughters who married direct blood relatives of the fifth surname Qiwang, and some of the other direct blood relatives of the fifth surname Qiwang would also marry into their Zheng family.
Family marriage is always the best way to connect people.
And this is why it is difficult for the royal family to take action against their family.
When the emperor took action, he was obviously dealing with one aristocratic family, but there might be several, or even a dozen, aristocratic families standing behind this aristocratic family, and some even had the son-in-law of their family in a court official position.
It can be said that one thing affects the whole body.
Girls in the direct line of the family are used to maintain relationships, and no one cares about their own feelings. This is the status of women in this era.
Being in a family, enjoying the family's wealth and status, how can you not give something.
It's just his granddaughter Zheng Chang'e who, as an old guy, likes her very much, so in the past when other families came to propose marriage, he didn't agree immediately. Instead, he asked his granddaughter what she wanted before deciding to make a choice.
Taking a closer look at the past, there are more than a dozen people who have come to ask for marriage. They are all direct descendants of large families. There are five surnames and seven families, three of them, the next helmsmen of the Zhaojun Li family, the Fanyang Lu family, and the Taiyuan Wang family. Li Tang royal family.
He asked his granddaughter about this, but she felt bad about it and refused.
In the past, I was always rejected, but today I tried to ask, but I didn’t expect that I got the wrong answer.
Although the King of Chu is unparalleled, he has such a precious granddaughter and is a blood relative of the Zheng family. What stain can he find by marrying him?
The Zheng family didn't look down on him.
but…….
Zheng Jibo narrowed his eyes slightly.
All this depends on whether the remnant army of the King of Chu can invite the king's left wing to come down from the mountain.
If not, a group of leaderless guys, even if the King of Chu can come back, it will be a long time later, and it is not certain whether they will be there or not. The Zheng family will not wade into this troubled water.
After thinking about everything clearly, Zheng Jibo smiled and continued to tease his granddaughter: "Do you agree or not? If you don't agree, then grandpa won't tell you to kiss me."
He pretended to be dignified and serious.
When Zheng Chang'e saw this, she was afraid that grandpa would take her coquettishness seriously, so she hurriedly said: "Agree! Grandpa, woo woo woo, I agree!"
"If it were His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I would, I would!"
When the King of Chu was mentioned, the little girl looked shy again, lowered her head, and her little face turned red.
"Hahaha, okay! Grandpa, I'll tell you about this kiss when the time comes!"
Zheng Jibo laughed.
When the left wing of the king comes over, they want the Zheng family to help. The Zheng family will help only if they have conditions, which is to marry their granddaughter Zheng Chang'e to the King of Chu and become the future queen.
otherwise…….
You can help, but you won’t take it seriously...
"Hey, grandpa, I heard from dad and the others that His Highness went to the Turks. It seems..."
When Zheng Chang'e said this, her eyes were lonely, her innocent and cheerful little face was full of sadness, and she sighed: "It seems that he was plotted by a villain. The Turks are so dangerous, can he come back?"
Zheng Jibo stroked his chin beard and rarely became serious about his granddaughter's playfulness: "Yes, after all, he is the King of Chu."
"The King of Chu shoulders the expectations of tens of thousands of his people. He is the faith of those tens of thousands of people, so he does not live alone, he lives with the expectations of tens of thousands of people."
"Grandpa has met the King of Chu and knows that the King of Chu has a very clear positioning of himself, so he should have a way to get out of trouble when he goes to the Turks this time."
"That man..."
Speaking of this, Zheng Jibo had fear in his eyes: "Whatever he does, he always has a back-up plan and is sure of it. That's why he is the undefeated God of War of the Tang Dynasty. He can get out of trouble."
Zheng Chang'e felt admiration when she heard this: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu is still so strong, then...am I worthy of being his wife?"
Zheng Chang'e felt a little inferior.
now.
If the children of those big families who are asking for marriage see it, they will be stunned.
There are not many direct descendants of a big family, and those who can become direct descendants are already among the best, and among them, if you want to be good-looking, you have to remove 90%.
People are like dragons and phoenixes, people are like dragons and phoenixes!
Therefore, Zheng Chang'e was regarded as the perfect marriage partner in the eyes of many children from big families in the top circles. Therefore, it created a grand occasion where three eldest grandsons from the five surnames and seven Wangqi families came to propose marriage.
Such a girl actually has... low self-esteem...
If they heard it, they would never believe it!
"Deserving! Chang'e, you are not only worthy, but you also have to overpower the other women of King Chu in the future! If he becomes the best in the world, you will become the best woman in the world!"
"You will be his best helper, and he must also be your best protector! He is also the best protector of my Zheng family!"
Zheng Jibo picked up his granddaughter, looked at the confused Zheng Chang'e, and smiled calmly: "Our Zheng family will reach a higher level in the future because of you."
"Of course, the premise is that the left wing of the king goes down the mountain to lead the remnant army of the King of Chu, and the King of Chu can also come back."
When Zheng Chang'e heard this, she felt a heavy burden on her body.
The best woman in the world….
This title is too heavy for her now.
"Grandpa, I..."
She hesitated to speak, feeling even more inferior.
Zheng Jibo didn't take it seriously and stroked her little head lovingly: "It's okay, Chang'e, you can do it."
"Grandpa believes in you, and the family also believes in you. Just like King Chu's people believe in him, behind you are tens of thousands of people from my Zheng family who believe in you."
"It just so happens that your aunt Zheng Guanyin is back today. She has been a princess for many years, so she should be able to give you a lot of things."
"Grandpa will take you there later, and she will teach you how to be the best woman in the world."
"Grandpa believes she can do it. After all, she was also the woman who was once the best in the world..."
Zheng Jibo stroked the little girl's head and looked up at the sky.
The future of the Tang Dynasty is destined to be filled with another bloody storm.
It’s about the royal family, and it’s about the world.

…….….….….….
the other side.
Weiyang has been walking slowly since he left the Zheng Mansion.
There were many people on the street, but no one paid attention to this guy who came out of Zheng Mansion.
Walking, walking, walking.
When he reached a deserted alley in a neighborhood, he suddenly picked out a green leaf from an old tree nearby and started humming.
The humming song is "Guangling San" from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.
The singing suddenly filled the entire alley.
at the same time.
The surrounding alleys have long been filled with killers, all of whom have come to hunt down Weiyang to collect the bounty.
How did they know the whereabouts of Wei Yang?
That's because several of the Zheng family's retainers spread the news to the ears of their trusted killer, and then laid an ambush here while Weiyang was discussing things with the old man.
Although the Zheng family's disciples listen to the Zheng family's actions.
but!
People always have selfish motives!
Some blood relatives in a family cannot agree on the same opinion, and a cold and indifferent person like Li Shimin directly intends to kill, let alone these disciples of the Zheng family.
Human nature is always so unpredictable.
And their purpose is very simple, the bounty is very high!
The reward that General Tiance placed on the remnants of the King of Chu was very high. Killing a Twelve Nighter would be enough for them to live a happy and worry-free life.
Money and silk attract people's hearts, so naturally some people can't help but take action.
now.
The alley was surrounded by killers with their faces covered. There were nearly fifty people. They were all stunned when they heard Wei Yang suddenly humming.
"What is he doing?"
"I don't know, maybe... you're chanting for your own death?"
"Don't be ridiculous, he probably settled things with the old man, so he is very happy."
"Stop talking! This person is one of the Twelve Nights under King Chu's account. I don't need to say how terrifying that big shot is. Even if he goes to the Turks, not a single one of his men has a job. Please be serious."
"Do it, don't delay!!"
"……."
There were people in black swarming in the alley, all heading towards Weiyang, with murderous intent on display!
Wei Yang was still humming.
But around the alley, there was chaos.
"What's going on, uh...ah!!"
"Damn, damn, damn! Who are these people? They are so good at Qinggong!"
"Quick, quick, kill them, kill... uh..."
"Run quickly, they are too strong!!"
"……."
There was chaos in the alley, it was a group of killers being attacked and killed by men in black.
One by one, the killers fell into a pool of blood.
And even if blood seeped into Weiyang's feet, this guy was always humming a tune with leaves.
It was as if he was separated from the entire world at this moment and had nothing to do with the surroundings, only his own world.
"Bang..."
As the last killer fell in a pool of blood, Weiyang walked out of the alley completely, finished singing, laughed and opened his hands to the people on the street.
"Hahahaha, the performance is over, everyone, you are still satisfied!"
People around him were frightened by Weiyang's surprise. They looked at him and kept saying words like "madman, fool, idiot" and so on.
Weiyang is not angry, and always has a slight smile.
“Next, it’s time to go on to the next show.”
He put away the leaves and looked outside Kaifeng City.
Among the Twelve Nights, the codename is Weiyang!
The person in charge of the Twelve Nights is the third person on the right side of the mural. He is responsible for the assassination of the King of Chu's army and leads a hundred Chu soldiers to kill him!
now!
The leader of the intelligence agency, You Ji, died and was temporarily transferred to be responsible for rebuilding a new intelligence agency!
One person, two jobs!
….….….….….….
Jingzhou.
A deserted road.
A tourist with a sword wrapped around his waist and a bamboo hat walked from here.
soon.
A cry rang out, right on the path that the male tourist must pass.
The tourist kept walking as usual, not letting the cries slow down his walking speed.
finally.
On the path he was walking forward, a girl of several years old appeared, lying on the ground crying.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The voice was Qiqi Lili, very sad.
The tourist came to her, squatted down and said with a smile: "Little sister, what's wrong?"
The little girl glanced at him, sobbed and said, "My parents are dead, and grandpa and the others are also dead. They even snatched my parents' packages. They..."
As he said this, several people rushed behind Yugito.
That's it, bandits!
turn out to be!
This little girl was deliberately placed on the road by these bandits to attract the attention of tourists, and then they carried out a sneak attack.
"Kill him! He is the King of Chu's Twelve Nights. Kill me, and we will have all the glory and wealth!"
"Hahaha, kill him!!"
"……."
The distance is getting closer and closer, but the tourists are still squatting. This situation is extremely difficult for ordinary people to react to.
but!
When the bandits approached, someone glanced at him and quickly drew his knife. Amidst the flash of the sword and the shadow of the sword, the bandits stopped in place.
And as the tourist put the knife back into the scabbard, and with a "thud" sound, all the bandits fell to the ground.
A traveler with a sword!
In the mural of the Twelve Nights, he is the sixth person on the left, codenamed Chenlong!
"The bounty is really annoying."
Chen Long sighed, then continued to squat down and wiped away the little girl's tears with his hands: "Did they kill your parents?"
The little girl sniffled: "Yes!"
"They are dead and can no longer hurt you. Where are your parents? I will go and set up a tomb for them somewhere."
"They are long dead. They died a few days ago. These...these bandits brought me here from that place. I can't remember the way I came here."
Chenlong said helplessly: "Really? There's nothing we can do about it. Do you still have family?"
"No."
"Then, do you want to follow me and go to a new home?"
The little girl looked at Chen Long with red eyes, her eyes sincere: "Where is that?"
Hearing this, Chen Long looked up at the sky, his eyes twinkling: "Yes, where is that..."
"Can a place without His Highness be called home?"
The little girl said: "Who is your highness?"
Chenlong came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Nothing, new home. I remembered that it is in Jiangdong, and soon, a hidden master will come to continue to lead this family."
"How about, do you want to follow me there? You can meet your new family there."
The little girl's tears stopped somewhat, but she still remained innocent: "Would you lie to me?"
"Won't."
"Then I'll go with you."
Chenlong smiled and said: "Okay."
Then he picked up the little girl with one hand, and wiped your little girl's tears away with the other hand.
"In the future, you will lose your family members, and so will I. This can be regarded as adapting in advance."
"After all, the business we have to do in the future is huge, huge, huge..."
"More people will fall on the road."
The red circles in the little girl's eyes dropped a little, and she asked, "Do I have to do it?"
Chen Long did not hesitate, pinched the little girl's nose, and said with a smile: "I have to do it."
"After all, there are many brothers and sisters' revenge waiting for us to avenge them."
"Our family members don't know the despair that our dead brothers and sisters felt at that time, but they all feel the same as you. They are all crying, crying, and crying..."
