Chapter 65: Liu Yingjie
When everyone's faces were solemn, Xiao Changqing's little hand was gently placed on Xiao Boyuan's shoulder, and she slowly spoke: "Daddy, the auspicious time has come, and today is the big day of the second sister." ”
Firecrackers and music that must be played when greeting relatives have already sounded outside, and the groom has arrived outside the general's mansion, and he looks at the general's mansion with the door closed with some confusion.
The door was not closed for long, it was opened, and the firecracker was lit again the moment the door opened, crackling, and today is a good day.
Like the last time the eldest sister Xiao Yaman got married, it was done according to the wedding customs of Xuguo, but Xiao Boyuan, who was sitting in the main hall, had a heavy face, and the atmosphere in the main hall gave people a feeling of lifelessness.
The groom couldn't help but ask the bride he was carrying what happened to make everyone feel so depressed.
Xiao Yatian didn't tell her husband what happened to their family, even if he said it, it would only add to the trouble, and he couldn't help anything.
After a set of processes, it will be the wedding banquet in two hours, the third sister Xiao Yaxi took Xiao Changqing's hand and took her to dress up, I still remember the last time I dressed up for Xiao Changqing.
At that time, there was still the second sister there, and everyone was in a very happy mood at that time, unlike now, Xiao Yaxi didn't know what to say, Xiao Yale, as Xiao Changqing's own sister, she didn't know what to say to alleviate the current situation.
"Third sister, I heard that the spring, summer, autumn and winter in Li Country are longer than those in our Xu Kingdom, is it true?" In Xiao Changqing's cognition, Li Guo should be the same as Xu Guo, and the winter lasts for a long time.
"Well, the four seasons there are normal times, and the winters there won't be as long as our Xuguo." Xiao Yaxi, who combed Xiao Changqing's hair, she had read it in a book.
The country of Lebanon has the richest land, which can grow many varieties of fruits and vegetables, and there are indescribably many pedestrians coming and going.
Participating in the wedding banquet, Xiao Yaxi and Xiao Yale's mood was much better, and they were trying to digest the fact that their little sister was going to Li Kingdom.
No one expected that the prince of Li Guo and his guard Gao Lang would enter the wedding banquet with a swagger, and when the groom saw him, as if he was seeing a relative, he hurriedly left the others and came to Lu Chengye.
Respectfully shouted 'His Royal Highness the Prince' made the Xuguo people present feel very delicate, and when they saw their own people dog-legging to the Li Guoren, who would feel better.
The groom official listened to Lu Chengye's words and arranged for him to sit at a table with the Xiao family, sitting directly opposite Xiao Boyuan.
The Xiao family tacitly chose not to talk to Lu Chengye, everyone said their own, Xiao Changqing was well-behaved and ate silently, and most of the dishes of the wedding banquet were according to the traditional wedding banquet dishes of Xuguo.
So it's the same as the dishes at the eldest sister Xiao Yaman's wedding banquet, except for a different main dish, the order of serving is different.
Lu Chengye saw that everyone in the Xiao family was reluctant to talk to him, and he would not take the initiative to speak and dislike him, but very intimately sandwiched a dish for Xiao Changqing, which she wanted to eat but couldn't eat.
This move successfully won all the attention of the Xiao family present, and Xiao Changqing politely thanked Lu Chengye.
"Prince Li, today our Xiao family got a holy decree, which says that I want my youngest daughter to accompany you back to Li Guo, and then go to worship Zheng Yuan as a teacher."
Xiao Boyuan's left hand clenched into a fist, green tendons faintly appeared, and when he said this, he was a little bit gnashing his teeth.
"Really? Your king has not told me about this, but I have come to the wedding feast today because I know the bridegroom. Lu Chengye's surprised expression really looked like he had just knew.
Xiao Boyuan felt a faint pain in his temples, this prince of Li must have said something in front of the king, it must be him!
"General Xiao don't worry, tomorrow I will enter the palace to meet your king and ask him to take back his will, after all, Xiao Changqing is only five years old, and he is going to leave home, which is too cruel."
This sentence was said by Lu Chengye so uprightly, he had a trace of dissatisfaction with King Xu on his face, thinking that he should not make this holy decree.
In Xiao Boyuan's mind, he replayed what the king said today, and he said it, and there was no intention to retract his will.
If the prince of Li really enters the palace tomorrow to let the king retract his will, then their entire Xiao family is afraid that they will not be suspected by the king of whether there is any collusion with this prince of Li Guo.
Can he use his identity as a general in exchange for the freedom of his little sister... The answer is impossible, as the general of Xuguo, he has a country before he has a home.
Xiao Boyuan's eyes fell on Xiao Changqing, his little daughter, usually the most sensible, although she doesn't like to talk, but she won't leave any of the truths she should understand.
"Thank you Prince Li for your kindness, I understand it in my heart, this is our Xu Kingdom's business, our Xiao family will abide by the king's will, and I hope that Prince Li Guo, after you return to Li Kingdom, take care of us evergreen."
Xiao Yaxi and Xiao Yale also understood their father's decision at this moment, only Xiao Changqing was still eating carefree, not affected by what they said in the slightest.
"General Xiao, don't worry, I will take good care of Chang Qing, and I will never let people bully her." Lu Chengye also made an oath gesture, he is the crown prince of Li State, and there are not many people who can make him make a promise.
After the wedding banquet, Lu Chengye was the first to leave, Gao Lang followed behind him, and finally left the noisy wedding banquet.
"Your Highness, you just played really well." Gao Lang couldn't help but praise the acting skills of His Royal Highness in front of the Xiao family.
As Xiao Boyuan expected, it was indeed Lu Chengye who mentioned Xiao Changqing, who was only five years old, but had an unusual talent for martial arts in front of King Xu.
also offered a lot of tempting conditions, and successfully made King Xu take the bait, and Lu Chengye is now in a surprisingly happy mood.
"It's still unknown how many times the combat power of Xiao Changqing can get for my Li Kingdom." All the starting points of Lu Chengye are for Li Guo, and poaching Xiao Changqing is just the first step.
He was very curious about the iron smelting of the Li Kingdom, nearly half of the iron weapons in their Li Kingdom came from the Xu Kingdom, this small country, which was obviously so inconspicuous, but could have a way to contain their huge Li Kingdom.
However, the king of the kingdom of Xuguo obviously did not know that the kingdom of Li had been thinking about their iron smelting for a long time.
The iron-making technique of the Li Kingdom has always been in a dilemma, and many iron tools cannot be used well after they are forged.
It was always a little bit of success, and the craftsmen kept trying to figure out what was missing in this last step.
This time, Lu Chengye came to Xuguo, not only to teach the way of military training, but the most important thing was the task that his father gave him in private.
Get the secret of Asahi Kingdom's alchemy.
