The next day, Xiao Rui got up early to go to the morning court.

When he returned to the palace at the end of the early dynasty, Jia Xu had already prepared a gift for him to visit the palace of the champion marquis. It stands to reason that Xiao Rui is the main family, and the champion Hou is the courtier, how can there be a reason for a dignified son to visit the courtier's house, but who calls him the new aunt, the future father-in-law has gone home, and his new aunt will not visit for the first time, so it is unreasonable in terms of etiquette.

Sooner or later, it will come.

So Xiao Rui changed his clothes and set off with Wu Zhanfa and Li Kui.

Coming to the door of the champion Hou, the carriage had just stopped, and Xiao Rui had not yet opened his eyes from his false sleep, and the system was moving again.

"Congratulations to the host, on your way to one of the four happy events in life, wouldn't it be a pity if you didn't have a mission to help?"

"Ding-dong... The quest is open, please check it out with the host! ”

Xiao Rui sighed, this is really in line with the urine nature of the system, I only hope that the four happy events will not become the four great sad events.

Talking about these four tragic things is really fucked up, meeting old enemies in other places, a drop of cold rain after a long drought, in a dream when the title of the gold list is inscribed, and the candle night in the cave room is next door.

He clicked on the system and saw that it was written:

"New Mission: Complete the first level of the Champion Challenge, with an Advent value of 10 and a current Advent value of 60/100. The mission fails, and the host is the destined single dog. ”

Xiao Rui's nerves are frozen in the first level, so the champion Hou still has the second and third levels? Oh, is the champion Hou looking for a husband for his daughter, or choosing a pillar for the country.

couldn't help but vomit in his heart, Xiao Rui really wanted to wave his hand and let Li Kui rush in with two board axes, and he fled with his long legs.

He is not good at passing the test, but he is very skilled at robbing his daughter-in-law. I still remember being the best man for my good buddies in my last life, and the groom waved his hand and yelled: "Except for the mother-in-law, the women are all carried away!" ”

Xiao Rui called a cheer, the first to rush up, pick the most beautiful one to carry and run, who knew that not only the best man was chasing behind him, but the bridesmaids were also chasing, and even the groom's official and mother-in-law were chasing.

"Put the bride down, bastard, you're carrying the wrong person!"

Carrying the wrong one?

Would Xiao Rui make such a low-level mistake? He will definitely not admit it, in fact, this is for the good of the groom, after all, when you put on wedding shoes for the bride, I don't know how many humiliating treaties you have to endure, and how worry-free it is to help you carry it away.

It is said that brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes... Ahem... Xiao Rui was a little wrong.

Since that time, those brothers didn't dare to find themselves as their best men, and now that they think about it, Xiao Rui is still full of sighs and sighs.

But when he thought that the champion Hou was a sixth-grade realm martial artist, and Zhuge Yuanba was a fifth-grade realm martial artist, Xiao Rui's flame that had just been ignited was extinguished, so he honestly asked Wu Zhanfa to knock on the door.

"Knock knock..."

"Crunch..."

The side door was opened, and an old doorman poked his head out, he already knew Xiao Rui, and hurriedly came out and said respectfully: "The villain greets His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”

"No courtesy, can the Hou Ye be in the house? I heard that he had returned to Beijing, and the king came to visit. Xiao Rui smiled.

The old doorman smiled awkwardly and said: "My lord is in the house, but he also said that if His Royal Highness King Xian visits, let the villain inform His Royal Highness that my lord has traveled a long way back to Beijing and is deeply tired. ”

Xiao Rui was stunned, yo, this is a guest.

"Naturally, it's a big deal, I can't wait for a few days!" Xiao Rui said with a smile: "If you go to report, just say that the major matter involving the northern border guards is urgent!" ”

When the old doorman heard that it was so serious, he hurriedly went to report.

In the study room in the house, Zhuge Yuanba was drinking tea with a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man and Zhuge Yuanba are similar, and they are indeed born from the same mother, but their temperament is very different. Zhuge Yuanba is casual and lazy, more like an elegant scholar. And the middle-aged man is cold and resolute, with an iron-blooded murderous aura in his gestures, which is the momentum cultivated on the battlefield.

This person is the champion Hou, Zhuge Yuanxiong.

"Big brother, isn't it too much for you to let King Xian enter the mansion, we are courtiers after all." Zhuge Yuanba asked.

Champion Hou glared at him and said, "If you hadn't made your own decision and promised this marriage for Liuying, I would have done this?" Now know that I'm overdoing it? ”

Zhuge Yuanba smiled and said: "Liuying has a good impression of him, and he always wants to marry someone, so naturally let her marry someone she likes, and King Xian is not bad." ”

Champion Hou sighed and said, "Why let the Zhuge family get involved in the battle for the prince." If King Xian is mediocre, there is no problem with finding him as a son-in-law, but from all indications, his goal is very clear! ”

Zhuge Yuanba asked rhetorically: "Big brother, do you think our Zhuge family can really stay out of the battle between the prince?" Once the son of heaven and a courtier, when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, he will inevitably move the Zhuge family! ”

"Even if the Zhuge family is moved, it's a big deal for us to resign, but if we are involved in the battle for the prince, once we lose, it is not as simple as resigning, don't you understand such a simple truth?" Champion Hou asked him.

Zhuge Yuan said domineeringly: "I understand! So we can't lose! If you win, in the future, you will be the ruler of the country, Liuying will be the queen, and the Lin'er born to her and Xiao Rui will be the prince! Our Zhuge family will be the first gate valve of the Great Xia Kingdom! ”

Champion Hou looked at Zhuge Yuanba and said solemnly: "Yuanba, you don't have to disguise in front of me, although I am out fighting, but I have watched you grow up since I was a child, I don't know your temper?" Whether the Zhuge family can become the first gate valve or not, you don't care at all, you chose Xiao Rui, the king of Xian, what is the reason, tell me! ”

Zhuge Yuanba fell silent, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Ye Qianlan." ”

"She?" Champion Hou was stunned, and even fell into deep thought.

After a moment, the champion Hou sighed: "I see, you still can't let her go." But you have to understand that Xiao Rui wants to be the emperor, and His Majesty's standard for him is ten times and a hundred times that of other princes, because His Majesty still has to take care of the foundation of Great Xia! ”

"I know!" Zhuge Yuanba's eyes flickered, and he said with conviction: "But Your Majesty knows better!" Xiao Rui is the son of him and Ye Qianlan, and he will definitely not harm him, let alone damage the foundation of Great Xia. You know Your Majesty's character, since he gave Xiao Rui a chance, he explained everything. ”

"That incident killed Ye Qianlan back then, and Your Majesty also... His Majesty's grand ambition cannot be realized, so he has to choose an heir to the martial arts, and sooner or later he will have to go to that point, why not let Xiao Rui do it? ”

Champion Hou was silent.

At this moment, the voice of the old doorkeeper sounded outside the door: "Back to the master, the king of Xian came to visit, and the villain said according to the instructions of the master, but His Royal Highness the king of Xian said that the major matters related to the northern border guards need to meet the master in person, which is urgent." ”

Champion Hou smiled and said: "This little guy is really flamboyant, he will lie when he opens his mouth, I am guarding the northern border pass, is there a big deal I don't know?" ”

Zhuge Yuanba also smiled: "The eldest brother doesn't want to see it because of the non-major event, so he naturally wants to find a major event that is closely related to you." If you don't see it now, it's not good to get out of the word. ”

"Let's go, go and meet this Xian King who has been praised by you." Champion Hou got up, Zhuge Yuanba followed, and the two walked to the front of the mansion and opened the middle door to greet them.

Champion Hou still saw Xiao Rui when he was very young, and now that he has grown into a handsome young man, he really can't pick out a thorn in his appearance and bearing.

Xiao Rui was also looking at the champion Hou, and hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Rui meets the champion Hou!" ”

The champion Hou didn't dare to hold it up, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said, "The last general, Zhuge Yuanxiong, will meet His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”

The two received the gifts, and the champion Hou deliberately asked: "His Royal Highness King Xian, I heard that you have important information on the northern border defense in your hands?" ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "That's right! ”

"I don't know what kind of information it is?" Champion Hou asked.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "Hou Ye bravely crowned the three armies, guarding the north to deter the Great Qi State, with Hou Ye here, the continuous defense line of the northern border pass is solid, how can there be a problem?" But now that the Hou Ye has returned to Beijing to report on his work, if he is entangled in things, he will take care of the northern border passes without flaw, and the Great Qi State will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble, and the intensification of the confrontation will lead to war, and the dispute over the pasture has not yet been resolved, and our plan to dig the river to flood the pasture has not yet been completed. Therefore, if Hou Ye can solve the entangled matter as soon as possible, it will ensure the safety of the northern border pass, and Hou Ye's matter is a big deal! As the prince of Great Xia, this king also needs to be conscientious, and if he can serve the prince, he will also contribute to the country. ”

Xiao Rui talked about it.

After hearing this, the champion Hou couldn't help but praise: "I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Xian has sharp words, and now it can be seen. Your Highness, the hospitality is not good, please come into the house for tea! ”

"Thank you, Master Hou." Xiao Rui smiled.

In this way, Xiao Rui entered the house.

When he came to the hall and sat down as the guest of honor, the champion Hou ordered someone to serve good tea, and then said with a smile: "It is the last general who should visit your mansion, how can His Royal Highness come in person." ”

"Yes, it should be, Liuying and I hit it off at first sight, had a good conversation, had a good impression of each other, and cared for each other, so naturally we need to visit Hou Ye, after all, marriage matters still need to depend on the life of my parents, I don't know what Hou Ye's opinion is?" Xiao Rui said.

Champion Hou was stunned, he never expected Xiao Rui to be so direct, and the first sentence when he came in was to ask about marriage in a showdown, which was too direct.

In fact, he didn't blame Xiao Rui directly, but he was afraid that he would be embarrassed to ask, and the champion Hou would keep pretending to be stupid, and it would be useless to visit today. So Xiao Rui cut directly to the topic and see how your champion Hou pulls the skin.

However, this couldn't help the champion Hou, he smiled and said: "Since Your Highness has said that you need the order of your parents, you will enter the palace at the end of a few days, ask to see Your Majesty, and talk to Your Majesty about this matter." If His Majesty agrees, he will naturally grant marriage. ”

"I entered the palace yesterday, and my father has agreed to my marriage with Liuying, but my father said that the champion Hou is the pillar of the Great Xia Kingdom, and only this baby daughter must depend on the opinion of Hou Ye, after all, marriage is not only a matter of two people, but also a matter of two families, what does Hou Ye think?" Xiao Rui asked rhetorically.

Champion Hou smiled and nodded, he could see it, if he didn't give Xiao Rui an answer today, he wouldn't give up, no matter how he tried to lead the words away, this guy could pull it back.

Case...

"I see His Highness's intentions in my eyes, but as a father, I naturally want to pick an excellent Langjun for my daughter, and His Highness is very good, but unfortunately I have been fighting all year round and have no chance to see it, so why don't I take advantage of today to let me see His Highness's skills?" Champion Hou said.

It's long overdue for that straightforwardness!

Xiao Rui smiled: "Okay, I don't know how Master Hou wants to test it?" ”

"Then let's start from the five aspects of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor." Champion Hou said.

Xiao Rui: ......

Is this to choose a son-in-law, or a good five students?
