1 Grievances
"What are you talking about," Ling Dongwu jumped out of Xiao Haotian's arms as if he had been stepped on by someone, stood on tiptoe, like a, pointed his finger at Xiao Haotian's nose, and said angrily: "You, you actually want to marry the daughter of that thief,"
Xiao Haotian saw that Ling Dongwu's angry little face was flushed, and his eyes were a little watery, so he hurriedly held her little hand in the palm of his hand, and explained with a smile: "I won't really marry Prime Minister Song's daughter, I just pretend to marry Prime Minister Song's daughter, this is an expedient measure, Prime Minister Song is a scheming, cunning and suspicious, but he is very careful of his daughter, but this daughter has a blind eye for me, crying and pestering Prime Minister Song to marry me to me,"
Ling Dongwu listened to Xiao Haotian's words, then put his heart in his stomach, glanced at Xiao Haotian, pursed his lips, and sneered: "What you said is true or false, and people are crying and clamoring to marry you, not putting gold on their faces,"
Xiao Haotian stretched out his hand to straighten Ling Dongwu's head, let her look at his face, raised his eyebrows, and asked evilly: "What, do you think I'm not handsome and chic enough, or do you think I'm not graceful enough, do you want me to show you my charm?"
Ling Dongwu struggled to break his head out of his clutches, laughed and hid to the side, looking up at Xiao Haotian's perfect knife-like facial features, he was really good-looking, at this time, he was smiling without his usual ruthless indifference, and it looked really pleasing to the eye.
She thought that when the creator fabricated this face, he must have exhausted all his thoughts on the world, if there is really a so-called perfection, it must be the person in front of him, but this man, now he likes himself,
Women are a little vain, and Ling Dongwu also has it, it is a very proud thing to be liked and pampered by such an excellent man.
As soon as she thought of this, somewhere in her heart was loosening, like a boring sponge suddenly sucking up water and becoming incredibly soft,
"Okay, Lord Wang, I said the wrong thing, I know that you are the most beautiful man in the Northern Desert who is loved by everyone, flowers bloom, and the old and weak women and children eat all,"
Xiao Haotian shook his head at her helplessly, and continued: "Prime Minister Song has mentioned to me many times openly and secretly that he wants to marry his daughter to me, but because I have no interest in her daughter at all, I have always been perfunctory to him, and now we can take advantage of this matter, I pretended to agree to marry his daughter, and promised to marry his daughter as the eldest lady, and asked him to come to preside over the wedding, and when the time comes, he will be captured and killed,"
Ling Dongwu also felt feasible after hearing Xiao Haotian's plan, but then thought of Prime Minister Song's cunning and cunning, and said: "Prime Minister Song is so cunning, how can he be willing to come to Shangdu, which is thousands of miles away,"
"Of course he won't come to Shangdu, we don't need him to come to Shangdu, I've already thought about it, I'll marry his daughter in Wukou City, everyone knows where I lived for a long time, there is one of my mansions, where to get married, no one will be suspicious,
Wukou City is not far from Nanzhao Kingdom, Prime Minister Song Cheng must be willing to go where to officiate for his daughter's wedding, Wukou City is a throat fortress whether it is to Nanzhao or Northern Desert, even if something happens, we can attack if we advance, we can defend when we retreat, whether it is Emperor Nanzhao or Emperor Beimo, we can't help us,"
Ling Dongwu heard Xiao Haotian say this, his heart moved, it seemed that Xiao Haotian wanted to take advantage of this wedding to go out of the Northern Desert Capital, and from now on, occupy Wukou City and start his grand hegemony.
But no matter what Xiao Haotian planned to arrange, Ling Dongwu felt that this was a good opportunity to kill Prime Minister Song, and unconsciously his blood boiled, and nodded in agreement,
The two discussed some specific matters for a while, Ling Dongwu suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Zhou Ze for many days, and he hadn't heard Xiao Haotian mention Zhou Ze, remembering the dispute between the two of them for himself that night, and he was unconsciously sorry in his heart, Xiao Haotian needed Zhou Ze's help at this time, and he didn't help him, but instead caused chaos for him, causing them to turn against each other for many years, but he was really a red face, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Lord Wang, you and Zhou Ze, and Zhou Ze have been okay recently,"
Xiao Haotian saw the worry in Ling Dongwu's eyes, stretched out his big hand, touched her hair, and the soft light of his eyes fell into her dark eyes, and said softly: "Ling girl, I am very good with Zhou Ze, you don't feel uneasy because of those boring things, you just need to remember that in this world, except for you, other people and things are not a problem for me,"
Ling Dongwu didn't think Xiao Haotian's words were like good words, so he unconsciously beat off the big hand he put on his head in anger,
After Xiao Haotian extended an olive branch to Prime Minister Song, Prime Minister Song immediately heard from him, he was the first assistant prime minister of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, and proposed to the emperor of the Northern Desert Kingdom, Xuan Ran Shouxu, to marry the Southern King of the Northern Desert Town.
The Southern Zhao Kingdom and the Northern Desert Kingdom have just negotiated peace, Xuan Ran Shouxu doesn't want to have another incident at the moment, seeing that Prime Minister Song Cheng proposed to marry his daughter to Xiao Haotian, although this undoubtedly increases Xiao Haotian's strength, but Prime Minister Song Cheng is in a high position in Nanzhao, and he is not easy to refuse, but fortunately, now Xiao Haotian is already a tiger in a cage, so there is nothing to worry about,
Xuan Ran Shouxu knew that Xiao Haotian was not a person who could listen to his arrangements at will, so he hurriedly summoned Xiao Haotian into the palace to discuss this matter.
In the Qinzheng Palace, when Xiao Haotian arrived, Zhou Ze and He Bao and others were already talking to the emperor inside, and it was about to be the old calendar year.
Zhou Ze listened with a smile next to him, and occasionally interjected two sentences,
Seeing Xiao Haotian walk in, Zhou Ze and He Yu both stood up, Xuan Ran Shouxu also enthusiastically gave the seat, and said with a haha: "Haotian, this person's spirit is really handsome, no, Prime Minister Song Cheng of Nanzhao sent a letter again, wanting to marry his daughter to you as a big lady,"
Xiao Haotian was obviously stunned, and said with a little surprise: "There is such a thing, it seems that my peach blossom luck is still quite vigorous,"
"Yes, there is such a thing," Xuan Ran Shouxu laughed and waved his hand, and the little eunuch next to him showed Xiao Haotian the letter from Prime Minister Song,
After Xiao Haotian read it, with a helpless wry smile, he handed the letter back to the little eunuch,
"Haotian, what do you think," the morning sun shone in through the bright window lattice, Xuan Ran Shouxu saw that Xiao Haotian was looking forward to the heroic spirit, the eyebrows were clear, and his expression couldn't help but be quite yearning,
"Haotian listens to the emperor's decision,"
"Okay, then I will fulfill this good deed of you," Xuan Ran Shouxu said with a smile,
Zhou Ze listened to the words of Xiao Haotian and Xuan Ran Shouxu, and his hand holding the tea bowl was soft, but he trembled slightly, his face was blue and white, and he seemed to be uncertain, trying his best to hold himself.
Xuan Ran Shouxu saw Zhou Ze's expression in a trance with the peripheral vision of his eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker, and after talking for a while, Xuan Ran Shouxu found an excuse to leave He Zhu and let Xiao Haotian and Zhou Ze leave together.
Looking through the window, sure enough, as soon as he got out of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhou Ze reasoned with Xiao Haotian, Xuan Ran Shouxu stood in the room, looked at this scene, and smiled with satisfaction,
Zhou Ze stopped Xiao Haotian with a pale face and asked, "Big brother, do you really want to marry the daughter of Prime Minister Song to be the eldest lady,"
"Yes, what's wrong," Xiao Haotian replied casually,
"No," Zhou Ze yelled,
"Why not, who this king wants to marry, it's your turn, Lord Batu," Xiao Haotian's tone was thick with mockery,
"Big brother, I don't want to take care of you, I also know that I can't control you, I am, I am ......" Zhou Ze said at a loss: "If you marry Prime Minister Song's woman, what should Ling Yatou do?"
"What can she do, continue to stay in Zhennan Palace," Xiao Haotian looked very indifferent,
"Big brother, have you forgotten, back then in Wukou City, it was because you took that Chu waist into the mansion that Ling girl was forced away, and now you want to force her to go again," Zhou Ze pleaded in his voice,
"Zhou Ze, you're too worried," Xiao Haotian patted Zhou Ze's shoulder, "The current Ling girl is no longer the willful Ling Dongwu who was the one back then, and would rather be a broken jade than a complete Ling Dongwu, she has gone through so many years of training, she already knows how to advance and retreat, and has become very well-behaved,"
"Big brother, then can you bear to let her be wronged," Zhou Ze's eyes were red,
"Zhou Ze, don't be naïve, you should know that I need this marriage now, as for who is wronged, it doesn't matter anymore," Xiao Haotian finished speaking, turned around and left,
Only Zhou Ze stood in place with his hands clenched into fists, watching the sunset gradually set, the sunset was colorful, as if he had overturned the god's material bottle, and the sky was extremely gorgeous.
Because Prime Minister Song proposed in the letter that he wanted Xiao Haotian to go to Wukou City to get married, so that he could also send his daughter at the end, so after Xiao Haotian obtained Xuan Ran Shouxu's consent, he began to pack his bags and prepare to set off for Wukou City.
Just when the Zhennan Mansion was busy preparing for Xiao Haotian's departure to welcome his relatives, a big event happened.
The backyard of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the royal temple of the Northern Desert, suddenly caught fire, the fire almost alarmed the entire imperial city inside and outside, the halls were all brightly lit, bright as day, almost all the palace people and guards rushed to put out the fire, through the shadow of the high eaves of the Buddha Pavilion Palace, several black-clothed people rose and fell,
Xuan Ran Shouxu and Xiao Haotian arrived almost at the same time, but before they had time to get close to the fire, suddenly a loud noise inside jumped up from the sky, the fire was ten times more fierce than before, and the people who were already tired couldn't be saved closely, so they could only do birds and beasts scattered and hurriedly avoided it, in just a few hours, the fire extended to the main hall and front hall of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and nearly one-third of the huge Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was caught in the monstrous fire.
This fire burned for half a night, until the entire magnificent Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple was reduced to ashes.
Xiao Haotian found Xiao Yingyue's jade pendant that never left him in a pile of broken ruins at dawn.
