Chapter 212 Engagement

  This is the first time Xu Yuan has seen this sharp-eyed woman.

   Regardless of past life or this life.

  Because of the emperor’s weird attitude, Xu Yuan can probably guess that he should know the other person in this marriage.

  And there is a high probability that she is a princess or a princess.

  Now it seems that it is indeed acquaintance, but it is a one-sided understanding. It was acquainted in the internal references of those newspapers about the northern border.

  Wu Yuan,

  Li Qingyan.

  Okay, now Xu Yuan understands why the old man of the emperor showed that weird expression before.

  In my memory, Mu Zhiyun is a standard good girl, the kind of good girl who can jump up in fright if you poke her from behind.

  And Wu Yuan?

  Oh, Yuan Hao, the psychopath who killed so far, may be able to make a small change in her hands.

  Who dares to marry this kind of woman?

  Xu Yuan took a deep breath and asked:

   “I remember, didn’t you fight in the north?”

  Wu Yuan narrowed his phoenix eyes, and his voice sounded very comfortable with a little rustle:

  ”The war in the north is not going well, because of the weather there is a temporary stalemate.”

  ”The weather?” Xu Yuan asked intentionally.

  Wu Yuan has no doubt about him, so he explained carefully:

  ”A blizzard fell from the sky, a once-in-a-century blizzard, and thousands of miles were frozen. The scout monsters were completely unable to see in the air, and the soldiers could not go out of the barracks at all. They could only temporarily shrink and stick to it.”

  Although he already knew something beforehand, Xu Yuan still nodded his head pretendingly, and then asked:

   “So the war in the northern border is still urgent, what are you going back to Beijing at this juncture?”

   “It is important for me to return to the Imperial Capital.”

   “Is there something? What’s the matter? For this engagement?”

   “It’s none of your business.”

   “tsk”

  Xu Yuan smacked his lips, looked at that beautiful face, and said with a smile:

  ”Although we are not very close, there is a high probability that this marriage will fail. In other words, this son is your husband, so you can’t say anything about it?”

  Wu Yuan turned around, with red lips, looked at the man in front of him and said with a smile:

   “Okay, when we get engaged, I will tell you why I returned to Beijing immediately.”

  “.”

   Xu Yuan was silent, and suddenly asked:

   “About this marriage, you have no opinion?”

   “Why should I have an opinion?”

  Wu Yuan stared at Xu Yuan with strange eyes: “I want to recruit a son-in-law after all. You are good-looking, so it is enough for me not to reject you.”

  “.”

   Another woman who is greedy for his body.

  Xu Yuan shook his head with a smile, and suddenly found that the beautiful woman in front of him was tall and tall.

  At least about 175, if a pair of slender long legs are matched with high heels, it is estimated that they can be at the same level as him.

  Looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan didn’t look away, and asked with great interest:

   “I mean, you don’t care about my reputation? Or character?”

   Wu Yuan stared at Xu Yuan for two seconds:

  ”Why should I care about such a worthless thing? As for character, I don’t care.”

   “.” Xu Yuan.

  Wu Yuan pursed his lips and smiled at him:

   “Okay, don’t talk nonsense, Xu Changtian, tell me what you think of this palace, this marriage is unlikely to be cancelled.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan’s eyes flickered twice: “I don’t know what the princess is talking about?”

  Li Qingyan pointed to the path on the lake bank and said while walking:

  ”Anything is fine, temperament, appearance, figure, any dissatisfaction can be directly expressed, I will consider whether it can be changed.”

  “.”

   These words will make Xu Yuan unable to adjust again.

  In the previous life, under the arrangement of the old man, he also had a few kisses in a perfunctory manner.

  Marriage, business.

  It’s good for both parties if everyone talks about everything.

  However, he did not expect that Princess Wu Yuan Li Qingyan would be so enlightened.

   After two seconds of silence, Xu Yuan spoke slowly:

  ”First of all, I think marriage needs a little privacy.”

   “Be more specific.” Li Qingyan.

  Xu Yuan has a serious expression:

   “I have a lot of friends, and sometimes I may not go home for dinner at night.”

  “.”

  Li Qingyan’s phoenix eyes narrowed little by little, and her voice was steady: “Well, and then.”

  Xu Yuan chooses his words carefully: “I am a laid-back person, and occasionally I go out to relax.”

  Li Qingyan smiled with a pair of phoenix eyes:

   “Keep talking.”

   “Secondly, I think”

   “Yin He, do you think that girl from my family and this kid from your family can succeed?”

  Standing by the window, the old man in imperial robe stared indifferently at the lake in the distance.

  The breeze blows through the attic, and the tableware on the indoor desk has been taken away by Eunuch Nie, and a tea tray has been replaced.

  Xu Yinhe sat on the futon and poured himself a drink:

  ”Chang Tian should be willing. As for Wu Yuan, I don’t know much about her.”

  Li Yaoxuan looked back and glanced at Xu Yinhe, and said calmly:

   “Not much? Indeed. Even I don’t know Wu Yuan’s temperament very well.”

   “You don’t understand?” Xu Yinhe was noncommittal.

   “She followed that guy Mu Zhenbei since childhood, so I naturally don’t understand.”

  Li Yaoxuan’s voice carried an ambiguous smile: “But I talked to her about this before, and she agreed straight away.”

  Xu Yinhe put down the teacup:

   “So, this marriage is considered a success?”

  Li Yaoxuan’s eyes were a little strange, he turned around and leaned against the window rail:

   “Don’t pretend to be confused, I mean temperament.

  ”Although I don’t know much about Wu Yuan’s temperament, but she grew up in the army, and she will not be too gentle when she grows up, and what your son has done in the imperial capital over the years, you Should be clear.”

  Translate, let the two have a bad temper together, you Xu Xiangguo think of a way to solve it.

  Xu Yinhe thought for a while, and said leisurely:

  ”Since he was able to cultivate, Chang Tian’s temperament has changed a bit, so he should not be able to fight.”

  Before the words fell, the room suddenly fell silent.

   “.” Li Yaoxuan pouted out the window.

   “.” Xu Yinhe sighed.

  Then,

   “Boom!”

   “嗡——”

   “Li Qingyan, are you sick?! Are you pretending this is your barracks?”

   “Boom!!!”

  The black dragon carriage was driving on Tian’an Road, galloping in the opposite direction from when it came.

  The space inside the car was silent.

  Xu Yinhe sat cross-legged expressionlessly.

  Xu Yuan also sat quietly, with some bruises on his face.

  There is an incense burner on the tea table between the father and son, and the green smoke is floating upward.

  Big eyes and small eyes.

   I don’t know how long it has passed,

  Xu Yinhe’s voice sounded faintly: “How is the injury?”

  This is an opening nonsense, how could this old man fail to see that he suffered all skin trauma.

  Xu Yuan also smiled:

   “Wu Yuan has a sense of proportion.”

  Xu Yinhe nodded and asked:

   “Why did you fight with her by the lake?”

  Xu Yuan shrugged, ambiguous:

   “I made a few jokes with that woman, but she doesn’t seem to have a good temper.”

  Xu Yinhe did not comment on this.

  Whether it’s true love or acting, it will not affect this marriage, because until now, the three sons have not said that they don’t want to get married.

  Xu Yuan sighed, and suddenly asked:

   “Father, I just asked directly. From the beginning, my marriage partner was Wu Yuan, right?”

  Xu Yinhe raised his eyebrows:

   “Changtian, why do you ask that?”

  Xu Yuan showed a smile of unknown meaning:

  ”The reason given by the emperor earlier was too lame. Mu Zhiyun is a weak woman, and she can’t do such a thing by forcing her to die.”

  Xu Yinhe has strange eyes:

   “You are familiar with that girl.”

   “.” Xu Yuan.

  Coughed lightly, Xu Yuan then said slowly:

   “Father, when you chatted with me on the way to the palace, you said that you haven’t seen the emperor for a long time.”

  ”Before you discussed with Wu Chenghou, I guess Wu Chenghou is probably the emperor’s mouthpiece, and you said that they were the main ones, and you should refer to the imperial party instead of Wu Chenghou. Chenghou Mansion.”

   As he spoke, Xu Yuan sighed:

  ”And from the beginning to the end, father, you never said that my marriage partner is Na Mu Zhiyun, but you have always said that you discussed the marriage with Wu Chenghou.”

   “There is also the matter of marrying into a family. Although it is an exchange of benefits, the Marquis of Wucheng’s Mansion will not allow me to marry into a family.”

  ”I didn’t think so much before, but now that I think about it carefully, it is indeed a bit abnormal.”

  “.”

  Xu Yinhe sat opposite and listened carefully:

   “Long Tian, ​​you are half right.”

  ”Half?” Xu Yuan asked.

  Xu Yinhe glanced at the direction of the palace:

  ”Wu Yuan was indeed the one that Weifu wanted to marry at the beginning, but the emperor disagreed, so Weifu could only settle for the next best thing. Those ambiguous words before were all helpless. ”

  Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

   “Why does the emperor disagree?”

  Xu Yinhe taught in a plain and soft voice:

  ”If you become a son-in-law and give birth to an heir in the future, then being a father is not only a prime minister, but also a relative.”

  ”Li Yaoxuan can bear it, but he has a bottom line, and the imperial power is his bottom line.”

  ”But if it is the father’s wish, it is not too difficult to change the surname of the palace after his death through this relationship and through layers of planning.”

  “.”

  The words fall, silence.

  The imperial power is supreme, there is no retreat.

  Xu Yuan digested silently for a while, and said slowly:

   “Father, is it true that the Emperor is running out of time?”

  Xu Yinhe is ambiguous:

  ”I don’t know, but it should be soon, but before he dies, he will definitely try his best to provoke a war between the Prime Minister’s Mansion and the Zongmen.”

  Xu Yuan understands very quickly:

   “So now the emperor agrees to this marriage because of the war in the north?”

  Xu Yinhe nodded:

  ”Well, now the sects in the three continents in the north are increasing their troops, and the scale of the war is expanding. Li Yaoxuan probably wants to tie us together through this marriage, at least in his We must be bound together firmly before we die.”

  After hearing this, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:

   “Then we were tied onto the boat like this?”

  Xu Yinhe laughed when he heard this:

   “Why not?

  ”Nine out of ten people who are unsatisfactory in life, although I want to wait as a father, but the general situation can’t wait.”

  ”And,

  ”Being a father and Li Yaoxuan have the same goal since they were young. Although there are some differences now, they are still the same. Since what he wants to do now is beneficial to the goal, then it is in line with my goal. Still on the way.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan found that his pattern was still small.

  Xu Yinhe looked at Xu Yuan, paused every word, and asked very seriously:

   “Chang Tian, ​​the royal family is not an enemy, if it is not a last resort, absolutely do not attack them.”

  Incense smoke curled up, and the car was silent.

  Xu Yuan looked at Xu Yinhe with a serious face, and felt the helplessness of his father.

  The comrades who have walked together for a lifetime will kill each other at the end of their lives.

  It’s cruel, but it has to be done.

  Because an emperor would never allow himself to keep such a prime minister for his heirs before his death.

  If you don’t make a move, you will be caught without a fight.

  If Li Yaoxuan could live longer, there would not be such a tense atmosphere between the royal family and the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

  Thinking of this, Xu Yuan wanted to rely on the information in “Cang Yuan” to try to save the emperor, but suddenly found that there was no way to save him.

  Let’s not mention whether the information in “Cangyuan” can be used for the time being. Now that things have come to an end, it is impossible for the emperor to tell them the real situation of his body.

  Tell them that it is about the same as setting a time for the Xiangguo Mansion to start the war.

   After a long silence, Xu Yuan laughed twice:

  ”Yes, father, Changtian understands.”

  Tianyuan Mountain, Back Mountain Bamboo Forest.

  The sound of ding-dong was endless, and the wind pressure driven by the giant sword almost overwhelmed the surrounding bamboo forest.

  The burly old man wields a huge sword but is very fast. With a skillful swing, the black sword flies high, and then he is about to smash it down with a simple move.

  The girl in black couldn’t avoid it, and she blinked her eyes in frustration.

  The giant sword stagnated steadily on an inch of the girl’s cold face, and the strong wind pressure blew three thousand black hairs fluttering with the wind.

  Withdrawing the sword, Ran Jianli laughed, and patted the shoulder of the girl in front of him carelessly:

   “Hahahahaha, Qingmo, you have grown a lot. Although you have no use for Yuan Qi, you have already been able to walk five rounds under Wei Shi, are you still coming?”

  “.”

  Ran Qingmo pursed his lips, said nothing, turned around silently and walked over to pick up his ink sword, and then walked straight towards his small bamboo house.

  “.”

  The corner of Ran Jianli’s mouth froze while holding the huge sword, and he stuck the giant sword in the ground, and quickly stepped forward to follow the girl, sideways and asked cautiously:

   “Qingmo, I can’t let the water go when I’m discussing with you as a teacher?”

   “Qing Mo, are you angry?”

   “Don’t be angry, I called you back, isn’t this the teacher who misses you?”

   “You say something. When your teacher’s wife comes back later, you have to say that your teacher bullied you.”

  “.”

  Ran Qingmo stopped and shook his head: “I’m not angry with my master.”

   After finishing speaking, he continued to walk towards the bamboo house, and closed the wooden door with a “bang”.

   “.” Ran Jianli.

  Patting the back of his head, Ran Jianli grinned and took a breath, talking to himself:

   “What’s wrong with this girl. You won’t be so depressed if you lose in the competition before.”

   “What are you doing standing at Qingmo’s door, you stupid old man?”

  Suddenly, a clear and beautiful voice came from the bamboo forest path outside.

  Ran Jianli looked back and saw a middle-aged woman walking in. Time had carved some marks on her face, she was beautiful and gentle.

   Exhaling, Ran Jianli walked over and pulled out his giant sword, and asked with a slow question:

   “Xiaowei, you came just in time. It seems a little weird for our good apprentice to go out today.”

   Luo Wei glanced at Ran Jianli, and then at her apprentice’s small bamboo house:

   “What’s wrong?”

  Ran Jianli said ramblingly:

   “Since Qing Mo went out, he has been practicing duels with me. After losing a hundred times, he was angry and left.”

   “.” Luo Wei.

  Ran Jianli quickly explained to his wife:

   “Xiao Wei, it’s not that you don’t know Qingmo’s temperament. In the past, Qingmo wouldn’t be angry if he lost for a day.”

  Luo Wei rolled her eyes, took out a piece of Dibao from the Sumeru Ring, and patted it on Ran Jianli’s strong chest muscles:

   “Let’s see.”

  “.”

  Ran Jianli took a look at it in doubt, his carefree look disappeared instantly, and there was a dignified look in his eyes:

   “Are Li Yaoxuan and Xu Yinhe still going to do it?”

  While the silent war in the frozen north continued, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the Great Flame in the form of Tianxiadibao.

  Li Qingyan and Xu Changtian are engaged.

   A little late
