Chapter 273: Engagement

The Wolf City Inspector's Mansion has been vacant since Liu Jiye's suicide. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info It wasn't until the Minister of State, Prince Wen Ye Chong came to Wolf City, that he became popular again, and it became Ye Chong's temporary residence.

Standing on the small building of the Inspector's Mansion, you can see the ruins of the Northern Xinjiang Governor's Mansion in the distance, and the traces of smoke and fire all prove the tragedy of the civil strife that day. It's just that the civil strife set off by the Wolf City military police has long become a confused account.

The three parties involved in the war, the Wolf City Gendarme, Admiral Burru, and the Wolf Cavalry Battalion, each claimed to be innocent. The gendarmes claim that they are trying to exterminate the undead hidden in the Doge's palace (alluding to Admiral Berru's bad intentions), and Admiral Berlu says that the gendarmes almost missed something wrong (as evidenced by Prince Twilight's rebellion), and he accuses the gendarmes of killing innocents and mutilating the people of Wolf City. The wolf riding camp looked innocent, saying that he was the biggest victim (of course, everyone who is interested knows that the wolf riding camp is actually the biggest winner.) )

In general, given the notoriety of the gendarmerie, it is more inclined to believe in the highly respected Admiral Berlu. As for the Wolf Cavalry Battalion, no one cared at all about their strange behavior at that time - instead of rescuing the Governor's Palace, which was in danger, they took control of the Wolf City first. Because in the eyes of the people of Northern Xinjiang, isn't it the duty of the wolf cavalry camp to protect the wolf city?

Ye Zhong quickly withdrew his gaze from the dilapidated governor's palace, and only he knew that the gains and losses of this civil strife far outweighed itself. Because, the civil strife in Wolf City is of great significance to him. It was precisely because of the defeat in this civil strife that he realized that his mentor, Admiral Berlu, was most likely a rebel of the Empire, and eventually led to the huge organization behind the other party, the Hidden God. In this civil strife, Li Wuheng also entered his sight for the first time, and the cooperation with MONOCULUS Odoff deepened his knowledge and understanding of this young man.

It turns out that the shadow behind the scenes in this civil unrest has become a pivotal existence. Whether it is the hidden god or Li Wuheng, they have now become a cancer that the empire must exclude. And he, as the de facto ruler of the Empire, would never allow such a cancer to exist - no matter how humble the other party was, it could not reduce his murderous intent in the slightest.

The reason why he didn't do it was only because it would take a little more time -- from tomorrow onwards, all this should be over completely! Whether it was the emperor and grandson who represented the ambition of the southwest, or the remnant of the previous dynasty, Li Wuheng, or the ambitious and pretending to be submissive, they must all disappear!

This is his dignity as an emperor!

......

On the stairs, footsteps rang out.

Chiba took off his cloak, came to Ye Chong's side, and said softly, "Father...... , the daughter has failed her father's ......"

Ye Chong put away his thoughts, looked at his most distressed daughter dotingly, and smiled slightly: "Then let's treat it as if there has never been such a thing!"

Chiba: "But your father's big deal—"

Ye Chong: "Silly boy, an unforgettable lesson is enough, I have already lost your brother, I can't lose you anymore." You're my only child - I don't want you to make any sacrifices, your happiness is more important than anything else!"

Ye Chong's smile hid a trace of pain that could not be relieved.

Chiba was keenly aware of this, she gently hugged Ye Chong's arm, and said softly, "Father, that's not your fault. Your daughter will definitely be filial to you on behalf of her brother. ”

Ye Zhong patted the other party's hand and smiled: "I'm fine! Actually, in my opinion, it doesn't matter if Guo Wuxi likes you or not, as long as my daughter likes him, because I won't give him any chance to refuse!

Chiba showed a rare hint of shyness.

From a very young age, she knew that she might marry a boy named Guo Wu. She has always been curious and looking forward to this.

Later, when she grew up and began to help her father with some affairs, she realized that she did not "may" marry Guo Wu, but "must" marry Guo Wu. Because, Beijiang must become a sword in her father's hands, and she is willing to be the hilt of this sword.

What's more, Chiba is well aware that her brother has died in a foreign country. If her father inherits the throne, she will face the question, who will be the future prince? As a daughter, she has no chance. But if her son can be surnamed Ye, it is very likely that he will become the prince of the future empire.

If this child is also the heir of the Northern Frontier, then he will definitely become the most powerful monarch in the world! And she will also become the most glorious woman in the world!

Ye Chong saw his daughter's stupid smile and already knew the answer. However, Ye Chong deliberately snorted coldly: "Since you don't have a good impression of him, it's simple! My Ye Chong's daughter is a nobleman, I can't let his Guo family humiliate him again and again-" Ye Chong's eyes showed a trace of murderous intent.

Chiba was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Father, don't be angry...... Guo Wu...... Guo Wu...... He ......: "As clever as she is, she doesn't know what to say for a while—and for a moment her heart is so confused!"

Ye Zhong looked at his daughter's embarrassed appearance and couldn't help laughing.

Only then did Chiba know that he had fallen for his father, his face was flushed, he stomped his feet again and again, and was about to run away, but he saw the housekeeper suddenly come to report: "Lord Wang, Guo Wu asks to see!"

Ye Zhong glanced at his daughter meaningfully, it seems that this kid is still an acquaintance! Otherwise, he really wants to wonder how Guo Zizhong has educated his son all these years?

As far as Ye Chong is concerned, he doesn't want Guo Wu to be just a martial artist! Because what he needs is a stable and enterprising northern Xinjiang. For this reason, he is willing to give Guo Wu more trust, but only if Guo Wu can be worthy of this trust - whether it is ability or loyalty, it must be so!

"Guo Wu greets the Prince!" As soon as Guo Wu entered the door, he gave Ye Zhong a deep salute.

Ye Zhong looked at the burrly guy in front of him, snorted coldly, ignored him, and walked directly downstairs towards the back house.

Guo Wu was stunned, and he didn't know what to do for a while!

Chiba looked at the other party's stupid appearance, pursed his lips, and quickly pushed: "Guo Mutou, why don't you go with your father soon-"

Guo Wu smiled bitterly, this "man's wife" really doesn't shy away from it! He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed up in the inner house. When he arrived at the back house, Guo Wu found that there were several elders of the Guo family waiting inside. He hurriedly stiffened his head and saluted one by one.

Ye Zhong glanced at Guo Wu's cautious appearance, and said coldly: "Guo Wu, do you know why I called you over this time?"

Guo Wu's face turned red, although he had been mentally prepared, but he was forced to marry in person, and he felt that he was really a little aggrieved! He glanced at Qianye, and secretly gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Wang, Guo Wu knows that he is here this time...... It's for the sake of the kid...... Marriage!"

Ye Chong snorted coldly: "Since you know, why do you still say 'Prince' - I have a good relationship with Ling Zun, and we are like brothers." If you call me uncle, I will never insult you!"

Guo Wu hurriedly changed his words: "The little nephew has seen his uncle!"

Ye Zhong nodded with satisfaction. Chiba frowned secretly, this guy is like the two of them he saw before, and he must have something to ask for-I don't know what this guy is thinking!

At this time, the elders of the Guo family also said earnestly: "Guo Wu, since you know the purpose of coming this time, let's just say it as elders.

Speaking of which, your parents are no longer there, and a few old bones of our Guo family are very worried about your marriage. You must know that as the future lord of the Northern Frontier, if you don't have the help of the virtuous, it will be inappropriate after all!

Therefore, let's be cheeky to find the prince for you, hoping to marry the prince's palm pearl. It is also thanks to the old friendship between the prince and your father that he readily agreed.

The lord of Chiba is a noble and gentle lady, and being able to marry my Guo family is a rare blessing for us for a thousand years! Guo Wu, you must cherish it!"

Guo Wu lamented, he lowered his voice so lowly, as if he couldn't get a wife! As for the gentle and virtuous lady? Ahh

However, he still said respectfully: "I have bothered a few elders, and being able to marry a beautiful woman like the county lord is indeed a blessing for my Guo Wu in several lifetimes...... It's just that my father just ......" and his face immediately showed a look of sadness.

The Guo family elder sighed: "We have also considered this matter - your father suffered a misfortune in the imperial capital, and the Guo clan and the people of Northern Xinjiang are very sad. It's just that it's common for my northern Xinjiang boys to be shrouded in horse leather and spilled blood on the battlefield. As generals, we are even more so-we have also discussed with the prince, and you don't have to rush to get married to the county lord, you can make a marriage in advance. As for the big wedding, it doesn't hurt to hold it in a year and a half! What do you think?"

Guo Wu pouted secretly, what else can you do? It's not up to you to decide everything? He Guo Wu is not a person who has no responsibility, his father is not there, the northern Xinjiang is worried about internal and external troubles, and the empire is in chaos. Now that Prince Wen is powerful, if he marries the lord of Chiba, it is obviously the most beneficial choice for northern Xinjiang.

However, Guo Wu actually didn't believe that his father had died in the imperial capital at all, and he, like Ah Heng, was extremely confident in the two old men - as long as he didn't see the body, it meant that the two old men were still alive, which was simply certain!

Guo Wu is now worried about something else: I don't know if the prince can let him ask for a few small favors for the sake of his quasi-son-in-law, such as sparing the big fool who is still in the imperial capital and blocking the prince's path.
