Lu Yihai's reminder was not unclear to Dong Lingjiu, but he just didn't want Xia Tan'er to get too close to Xue Chen. Whether he was selfish or overbearing, Xia Tan'er and the child could only belong to him completely. .
But before Dong Lingjiu could answer, Lu Yihai spoke again.
"It is said that the king is ruthless, and when he is angry, corpses will litter the land. But if you really want to keep the country standing, the people will be overthrown sooner or later because of their ruthlessness and lack of humanity. Although you are in love with Tan'er, little nine, you can't keep your children's affair alive. We must also take care of the tens of millions of people in Jiuzhou Continent.”
"Tan'er is not an ignorant person."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yihai got on his horse, leaving Dong Lingjiu alone standing there in shock.
Yes, Xia Tan'er has always been a reasonable person, but he has never explained it to Xia Tan'er properly. He considers any decision based on his own thinking and has never thought of asking Xia Tan'er for her opinion.
Dong Lingjiu looked back and saw Xia Tan'er in the carriage chatting and laughing with Feng Muchi, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes.
He was a little reluctant to drag Xia Tan'er into his darkness. He didn't want Xia Tan'er's saving hands to be stained with the blood of murder like his.
"Tan'er, tell me what I should do."
Sensing the gaze directed at her from a short distance away, Xia Tan'er raised her head but saw no one.
The curtain of the carriage was also lowered as it was about to set off. Xia Tan'er's eyes were slightly stunned, and she was about to find the source of her gaze, but the next second her attention was attracted by Feng Muchi again.
"I said Tan'er, what are you going to do in the military camp? You just said you would take me to play, but I saw that the old man Lu Yihai looked serious and didn't look like he was going to play, and Dong Lingjiu was also following him. Go, tell me the truth, is there going to be a war on the front line?"
"You little kid will still worry about the country and the people."
"I am from Dongling after all. How can I ignore this when others bully me to the point of being bullied?"
As he said this, Feng Muchi looked like he was going to fight with outsiders. Looking at his serious face, Xia Tan'er couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, it's just that I have a competition with my uncle, and I asked you to come over to help me."
"Competition? What kind of competition?" Why had he followed Xia Tan'er for so long without knowing that these two people were going to compete?
"It's just a competition on the art of war, chess and so on. I had a bad temper with my uncle earlier and asked for a competition, that's all."
"You know the art of war, I really didn't see it."
"Why, are you looking down on people?"
Xia Tan'er glanced back at Feng Muchi, the threat in her eyes could not be more obvious. Feng Muchi couldn't help but shrink back and swallowed when she was looked at by this look.
"How dare I look down on you? The lesson I learned last time was not enough. But I really didn't expect you, Tan'er, to dare to compete with Lu Yihai like this. Have you forgotten that he is a general. I'm afraid he has fought more battles than you have. There’s more rice.”
"More rice than I've ever eaten? Why, have you counted it?"
Xia Tan'er's mouth could choke someone to death, but he was just making a metaphor.
"I haven't counted, I haven't counted." You are so good at eating, how can I count...
Feng Muchi only dared to murmur the second half of the sentence in his heart. If he really wanted to say it out loud, Xia Tan'er might not want to destroy him.
"Hmph, don't let others' ambitions destroy your own prestige. You can't make a conclusion until the end."
"Okay, okay~"
Seeing Xia Tan'er so confident, Feng Muchi couldn't bear the blow, but he was thinking about how to comfort Xia Tan'er if she lost.
Xue Mansion.
The head of the Xue family kept pacing back and forth at the door anxiously, and after a while he looked up in the direction of the street.
"Master, master, General Yuwen is back."
"Back? Hurry!"
Before Yu Wenyue could stop, the head of the Xue family hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the reins.
"Yue'er, how's it going? Did Xia Tan'er agree?"
Yu Wenyue shook his head at the head of the Xue family and got off his horse.
"Father, please go inside when there are more people on the road."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
"Father please."
The two walked through the nine-curved corridor and crossed the path to a living room. The head of the Xue family made a wink with his hands behind his back, and his entourage hurriedly went out and closed the door.
Seeing that he and Yu Wenyue were the only two people left in the room, the head of the Xue family hurriedly asked Yu Wenyue.
"Yue'er, please tell me what's going on."
"To be honest with my adoptive father, Xia Tan'er agreed when he arrived to inform him earlier, but Uncle Nine Emperors called Xia Tan'er to a place and didn't know what he said. When he asked again, Xia Tan'er changed the topic and refused. .”
"Uncle Nine Emperors? There is actually something written by Uncle Nine Emperors in it? Can Xia Tan'er trust it?"
The worry of the head of the Xue family is not unreasonable. Uncle Nine Emperors has a mysterious mind, and no one knows what he is thinking. If the treatment of Xue Chen is also his plan, then the Xue family may be manipulated by Dong Lingjiu in the future.
"Believe it or not, Xia Tan'er is not a subordinate of Uncle Nine Emperors."
"Not a subordinate? Are you serious?"
"really."
Yu Wenyue nodded, and after thinking for a while, he decided to explain clearly to the head of the Xue family what he had seen today.
After listening to Yu Wenyue's words, the head of the Xue family was filled with disbelief.
"So what you are saying is that Uncle Nine Emperors is in love with Xia Tan'er, and Xia Tan'er is the one who dominates. Yue'er, tell your adoptive father that you are really right?"
"Father, Yue'er swears that he is right. It does sound ridiculous, but it is the truth. It's just that no one has exposed this matter. Maybe it's to save Xia Tan'er's face."
"If that's the case, Xia Tan'er is really a good person. She must be special enough to make the Nine Emperors Uncle secretly agree. Moreover, based on her status and medical skills, she is more than enough to be the mistress of my Xue family. It's a pity..."
"Does the godfather think it's a pity that Xia Tan'er is pregnant?"
"Xia Tan'er was also harmed not willingly by others. It's a pity that she looks down on the Xue family. If she can really be the mistress of my Xue family, why worry about not having a suitable heir for the Xue family."
Xia Tan'er's medical skills are enough to make any powerful person in Jiuzhou continent flock to her. The head of the Xue family has never been a pedantic person. A trivial matter like innocence is nothing in front of the family. Apart from family background, the most important thing for a matron is Ability, and Xia Tan'er has both, which is very rare.
Seeing the Xue family leader sighing, Yu Wenyue blinked his eyes and looked confused.
"Xia Tan'er didn't seem to say that she looked down on the Xue family. From the current point of view, Xia Tan'er seems to be having a conflict with the Nine Emperors Uncle. The child heard that there was an episode at the palace banquet before, and then the Nine Emperors Uncle and the Second Prince of Nanling came together. While picking up people outside the palace, Xia Tan'er chose to get into the carriage of the Second Prince of Nanling and ignored the Nine Emperors Uncle. "
"In my opinion, if Achen can regain his sight, he will indeed be able to compete with Uncle Nine Emperors based on his abilities. But I don't know what Achen thinks of Xia Tan'er. I haven't seen through it until now. ."
