Good days are always short-lived.

......

Xiao Chen and Chu Lingqiu walked around Baiyun City for a day after coming out of the Wind and Rain Building, Chu Lingqiu felt that happiness could not be more than this, she was lying in Xiao Chen's arms the whole time, at first she couldn't accept the eyes of others looking at them, and in the back she didn't care what others thought, she could only enjoy Xiao Chen's favor.

The two of them can be described as swaggering through the market today, how high-profile and high-profile they are.

As the sun set, Xiao Chen and Chu Lingqiu returned to the City Lord's Mansion in a carriage.

"Miss, you're finally back. As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Lingqiu's little maid greeted her a little anxiously.

Xiao Chen got out of the carriage unhurriedly, and then picked Chu Lingqiu off the carriage, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

"As soon as the master came back, he said that he was looking for you, and there was something urgent. The little maid replied.

Xiao Chen put Chu Lingqiu in a wheelchair and followed the little maid to the backyard.

Why is the mother also there, Xiao Chen saw Ouyang Jingxue who was talking to Chu Yuntian, and the faces of both of them were a little heavy at this time, "Mother, Uncle Chu." ”

"Father, Aunt Xue. ”

Seeing that Xiao Chen and Chu Lingqiu were back, Chu Yuntian waved his hand to let the little maid retreat, and then squeezed out a slightly ugly smile and said, "Where have you two been playing for a day?" He saw the happy look on his daughter's face, which he hadn't seen in all these years, but thinking of going to Kyoto to meet His Majesty this time, what His Majesty said, Chu Yuntian could only sigh lightly.

Chu Lingqiu saw that his father had something on his mind and asked, "Father, what's wrong?"

Chu Yuntian motioned for Xiao Chen to sit down, glanced at his daughter, and then said, "Do you know why His Majesty summoned me into the palace this time?"

"Uncle Chu, is it because of my marriage with Ling'er?" This holy decree has been delayed for a long time, and Xiao Chen guessed that it might be the third prince who returned to Kyoto or the lord of Mingyue who made a fuss about it.

Chu Yuntian nodded.

"Father, is it true that we have delayed for too long, has Your Majesty blamed you?" Chu Lingqiu said.

Chu Yuntian sighed again, shook his head and said, "If only you blame me......"

Xiao Chen couldn't help frowning, could it be more serious? Chu Yuntian was the strongest among the thirteen city lords, and he was also the most trusted, from the time His Majesty asked Chu Yuntian to take over the Baiyun City, which was closest to Kyoto. Although it is said that their marriage has dragged on for a while, it is not a big crime, and it should not be punished severely......

Chu Lingqiu couldn't figure it out, she just wanted to ask her father, Chu Yuntian asked her first: "Ling'er, do you like Xiao Chen?"

Chu Lingqiu didn't know why his father asked like this, his pretty face flushed, nodded and whispered, "Hmm." ”

Chu Yuntian exhaled a long breath, made a decision in his heart, and said, "For you, I will enter the palace again tomorrow to meet Your Majesty." Chu Lingqiu's happiness is more important than anything else in his heart.

"Uncle Chu, what happened?" Xiao Chen was sure that something big must have happened, and it wasn't just a matter of delaying the marriage.

"City Lord Chu, you better tell them. Ouyang Jingxue said on the side.

"Alas...... This time I went to Kyoto to meet Your Majesty, indeed for the sake of your marriage, but not for the sake of delay. In fact, His Majesty knew that this was a gambling contract between Ling'er and Mingyue, so His Majesty did not write a specific time when he made the decree at that time, which was also because of me. ”

Xiao Chen thought to himself, I see.

"Why do you say that this time I talked to Your Majesty about your marriage, it is because of 'Shen Guhong'. Chu Yuntian continued.

"Shen Guhong?"

"Alas...... Shen Guhong asked the valley lord of Vientiane Valley to put pressure on His Majesty to lift the holy decree. ”

"What!Shen Guhong, what does this mean?" After Xiao Chen saw those two masters and apprentices in the City Lord's Mansion last time, he knew that they would definitely not come to apologize, they were such a big sect, would they lower their status to apologize to Chu Lingqiu?

Xiao Chen glanced at Chu Lingqiu, he didn't expect Shen Guhong to be so persistent, but he had seen Shen Guhong twice, and the other party looked at Chu Lingqiu with no love in his eyes, which was reasonable......

He ...... How could he do this. Chu Lingqiu was a little angry and said, "Father, has Your Majesty agreed to his request?"

"Our Great Qin is not a vassal country of Vientiane Valley, although their strength is strong, but Your Majesty is not afraid, the queen is from the Shura Sword Sect. But His Majesty is not willing to set up this enemy for your sake, and His Majesty is also unwilling to withdraw the holy decree, because that would only damage the credibility of the royal family, and His Majesty means to let Chen'er give up this marriage contract himself. ”

"I also know that Ling'er doesn't like that Shen Guhong, and I also made it clear in front of His Majesty, but ...... Alas......"

"The final result, seven days later, Shen Guhong will come to Baiyun City to challenge Chen'er, loser, give up Ling'er. ”

"Hmph......" Xiao Chen snorted coldly, "Ling'er is not an item, how can he fight for it like this, even if he can win me, Ling'er will not be with him, what's the point of Shen Guhong doing this?"

"Besides, even if there is no marriage decree now, Ling'er and I will not be separated. ”

Xiao Chen held Chu Lingqiu's hand tightly and gave her a firm smile.

What Xiao Chen meant, Chu Yuntian knew, but His Majesty did not say that after Xiao Chen gave up the marriage contract, let Shen Guhong and Ling'er unite.

His Majesty meant that the valley lord of Vientiane Valley loved Shen Guhong very much, and he learned that the girl Shen Guhong loved was going to marry a person he didn't like because of a holy decree, and he felt that it was unfair to Shen Guhong to do so, so the young man should find the person he liked.

Therefore, the meaning of the Valley Lord of Vientiane Valley is to let His Majesty lift this holy decree so that Shen Guhong can have a fair chance.

"Hahahaha! Good boy, with your words, I, Chu Yuntian, will enter the palace tomorrow to meet Your Majesty, even if I risk my life, I can keep you with Ling'er. Chu Yuntian laughed.

Ouyang Jingxue didn't speak, she knew that this matter wouldn't be so simple.

"Uncle Chu, it doesn't have to be like this. Xiao Chen said to Chu Yuntian.

"Huh?"

"Even if Uncle Chu said that he moved His Majesty and kept my marriage contract with Ling'er, Shen Guhong would not give up. Since he wants to make it difficult for me to retreat, he must be confident that he can defeat me. A month ago, I wouldn't have been his opponent, but now, it's different. Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Chen'er, this is not a joke, I heard Your Majesty say that Shen Guhong has entered the realm of the Martial King, and the Vientiane Creation Skill of Vientiane Valley is extremely powerful, plus his Martial Spirit 'Illusion Eye', Wuzun is not necessarily his opponent. Chu Yuntian said worriedly.

The momentum on Xiao Chen's body suddenly exploded.

"Martial King Realm!"

Chu Yuntian, Chu Lingqiu, and Ouyang Jingxue were all shocked.

"I'm not afraid to face his illusion again, I want him to know that Ling'er is not what he wants!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "Mother, Uncle Chu, Ling'er, believe me, let me deal with this matter." ”

What Xiao Chen said at this moment really made them feel reassured.

"But......" Xiao Chen's voice changed and said, "Can you lend me some money?" ”

Xiao Chen's expression was very serious when he said this, but they always felt that he was saying this at this time......
