Chapter 128: Wedding Strategy
To be honest, I didn't want to wait any longer, as soon as I saw the gate of the capital, my heart had already flown and flew to my beloved, but since Tianyun had already spoken, I couldn't say anything, so I had to wait with him.
I walked up to Li Feng, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "Old Ancestor Li Feng, don't be angry, Tianyun is right." However, if I go back to the village in the future to preach and preach that the dignified God of War can't even enter the gate of the capital, I'm afraid many people will be interested, haha. β
Tianyun frowned and said, "Lei Xiang, don't be angry with the second brother." β
Li Feng's fists were clenched, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, Tianyun was right, his surname was indeed impulsive, although he was more than two hundred years old, his surname was still like Agni.
At this moment, a childish voice caught our attention: "Grandma, grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Following the sound, I saw a little girl squatting on the ground crying, and an elderly woman was lying there in front of her, her body trembling constantly.
Two of the soldiers defending the city immediately ran over, and one of them was the one who had stopped us just now.
We also stepped forward, and the crowd of people queuing around us suddenly surrounded us, human beings are so lively, they can't change at any time.
A soldier helped the old woman's upper body up: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
The old woman's face was as pale as paper, and her body was still trembling, and she looked delirious.
Another soldier shouted to the surrounding people: "Is there anyone here who is a doctor, help this aunt quickly, the military department will be very grateful." β
Everyone around them is shaking their heads, it seems that there is no doctor.
The soldier holding the old woman said categorically to his companion: "Quick, you go and ask the healing mage of the Magician Legion to come over, you can't move her now, otherwise there may be danger." β
Another soldier agreed, turned around and ran into the city.
Seeing this scene, Li Feng's clenched fist loosened, and with a sigh, he said to the sky: "Big brother, you can help her take a look." β
Tianyun nodded slightly, leaned over, and said, "Come, let's let me leave some fresh air for the patient." β
He crouched down and said to the soldier, "I know some light magic, I'll help her take a look." β
The little girl on the side grabbed Tianyun's clothes and said hurriedly: "Uncle, uncle, you have to save my grandmother." β
Tianyun smiled and nodded, "Little girl, I'll give it a try." β
The soldier said earnestly, "Thank you, take a look." β
Tianyun stretched out his right hand and put it on the old woman's chest, and after a while, he sighed and said, "She is old, she must have had a serious illness when she was young, and she didn't recuperate well afterwards, this is a recurrence of the old disease." β
Seeing Tianyun's expression, I knew that this old woman's illness was very serious, and with Tianyun's magic cultivation, there were really not many people who could make him feel embarrassed.
The soldier hurriedly said, "Is there any salvation left?" β
Tianyun sighed: "Even if I cure her temporarily, it can't be cured, the disease enters the bone marrow, and I can only help her prolong her life." After speaking, he put his hand on the old woman's head, closed his eyes, and kept chanting the incantation in his mouth, and a white and soft light emanated from his body, which slowly poured into the old woman's body.
The people around seemed to enjoy the white light, and their faces showed intoxicated expressions, and Mo Yue and I were uncomfortable because of our surname, so I pulled her out of the crowd.
At this time, the soldier who had run to find someone had returned, and he was pulling a magician in a white magic robe, panting and sweating continuously, and he didn't care about wiping it, what a warm-hearted person!
He shouted as he ran, "Get out of the way, the healer is coming." β
The crowd of onlookers hurriedly dodged a way, just in time to reveal the appearance of Tianyun treating the old woman.
The healer and the soldier came closer, and when he saw the soft light emanating from Tianyun's body, he was stunned, and the soldier hurriedly said, "Take a look, that old lady doesn't seem to be able to do it." β
The therapist shook his head and said, "This gentleman's skills are much higher than mine, so he doesn't need me." If he can't be cured, I can't help it. β
In the middle of the night, the old woman let out a long breath, came to her senses, and exclaimed, "It's hard for me to die." β
Tianyun sighed, "You're okay for the time being. β
The old woman hurriedly said, "Thank you for saving me." β
Tianyun shook his head and said, "I will also save your life for the time being, but when it happens again, even if the gods descend to earth, there is no way." β
The old woman said sadly: "Originally, I thought that this time I would inevitably die, but I am very satisfied to be alive." Can you tell me how long I have to live?"
Tianyun stood up and said, "At most, it won't be more than ten years." β
The old woman said happily: "It's great to live so long, benefactor, I will kowtow to you." β
As he spoke, he was about to kneel down for Tianyun, Tianyun stroked his hand, lifted the old woman up, and said, "You are fine now, you must pay more attention to maintenance in the future." β
The old woman said respectfully, "Yes, benefactor, thank you. β
The soldier on the side supported the old woman and said, "Auntie, are you really okay?"
The old woman nodded, and said, "I have never felt so relaxed as I do now, young man, and thank you." β
The soldier smiled innocently and said, "No thanks, auntie, you are much older than my mother, this is what our army should do, and the duty of our army is to ensure the safety of the people." β
The surrounding civilians who were about to enter the city immediately applauded, and a cheer rang out.
The healer who came from the city walked up to Tianyun and said respectfully, "Hello this magician, I don't know what method you used to treat this aunt just now?"
The old woman was stunned for a moment when she saw the therapist, and said, "Doctor Wang, it's you!"
The therapist nodded and said, "It's me, Aunt Li, how are you feeling now?" Didn't I tell you when I treated you last time, don't you have to work hard anymore? Why don't you listen, if it weren't for this gentleman's profound skills today, I'm afraid you would be in danger." β
The old woman nodded again and again, and said gratefully: "You are my savior, I really don't know how to repay you." β
Tianyun smiled slightly, and said: "You go back and have a good rest is the best reward for me, remember, you must not work hard, you must rest more, and recuperate." β
After a thousand thanks, the old woman left with her granddaughter.
The healer didn't leave, he said with admiration: "This gentleman, your light magic is really clever, can I ask you what method you used to help Aunt Li heal." I used to help her see a doctor, but I tried my best, but I couldn't clear the cold in her body. When I checked her just now, I found that the cold was gone, which was amazing. β
Tianyun was not happy because of the other party's praise, sighed, and said: "Although I have temporarily healed her injuries, her body itself has been severely traumatized, resulting in a very weak physique, and with her current physical condition, she can only live for another ten years at most." β
The therapist nodded gloomily and said, "That's all it can be." However, this is already very good, and if I keep helping her, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass even three years. β
The soldier who was in charge of checking us just now came over and saluted to the sky: "Sir, thank you for your help just now. β
I hurriedly said, "Thank you, you don't need it, you just need to let us into the city." β
The soldier was stunned, shook his head, and said, "It's one thing to save people, it's another thing for you to go into the city." I'm sorry, but it's my duty not to let you in easily. β
The healer said: "Forget it, just let them in, this gentleman's light magic just now is very profound, and without a kind heart, light magic cannot be cultivated to this realm." β
The soldier hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, since you say so, let them into the city." "It seems that this healer surnamed Wang still has some authority here.
Tianyun said: "Then thank you." β
We were just about to leave when there was a sudden noise in the city, and someone shouted: "Marshal inspect, assemble." β
The soldier and the healer were startled and hurriedly stepped aside. Could it be that Landis is coming?
Tianyun was stunned for a moment, and looked at me, we were now at the location of the city gate, he glanced at me, and we hurriedly stepped aside and stood with the soldiers.
Dense footsteps came, and a group of elite silver-armored soldiers quickly ran out of the city, they walked neatly, with serious expressions, and soon ran to the sides of the city gate, and one of them shouted: "Marshal Landis has arrived." β
The sound of footsteps came again, and a tall figure walked out from inside the city, it was none other than Lan Disi, one of the three generalissimos of the Dragon God Empire, who had a relationship with me.
He had a serious expression, wearing a golden chain armor, a fiery red cloak fluttering behind him, and walked out with a helmet in his hand, and the strong momentum on his body was unobstructed, but compared to Tianyun, he was much worse, Tianyun couldn't see how advanced his cultivation was from his appearance, and in this regard, I was much worse than him.
All the civilians knelt down at the same time, their faces full of reverence. At the same time, the soldiers raised their weapons in their hands and greeted their most respected Imperial Commander.
Landis walked to the gate of the city and said loudly: "Folks, please get up quickly, I have only come here for a routine inspection." β
He turned his gaze, just saw us, when he saw me, he couldn't help but be stunned, when he saw Tianyun, his eyes burst into a strange look, hesitated, he said: "Captain on duty." β
The soldier who had stopped us from entering the city just now stepped forward quickly, got down on one knee, and said, "Humble duty." β
"Is there anything going on here?"
"Tell the marshal, everything is normal. β
Landis turned his gaze to us and said, "What's going on with them?"
The soldier replied respectfully: "They were unable to confirm their identities during the inspection just now, so they were temporarily detained here, according to their own words, mercenaries." β
Landis nodded, "You stand down and continue to check." β
"Yes, Marshal. The soldier stepped back.
Landis walked up to us, looked Tianyun up and down a few times, and said with some hesitation: "You...... Are you?"
Tianyun smiled slightly and said, "Landis, we haven't seen each other for more than thirty years, and we met when you were just promoted to dragoon. β
There was a look of surprise in Landis's eyes, he took a step back, knelt on one knee and supported his right hand on his chest, and said excitedly: "See ...... for lowly Landis."
Tianyun didn't wait for him to say his identity, and hurriedly helped him up, saying, "Get up, you have other things to do, I have something to deal with when I go back to the city this time, and I don't want to alarm him too much." β
The soldiers and civilians around them were stupid, they couldn't have imagined that a god-like figure in their hearts would actually kneel down to an inconspicuous middle-aged man.
The captain on duty who had intercepted us stood there even more stunned, his eyes wide open, and I thought his mind must be blank now.
Landis stood up and said with a respectful expression: "Yes, then you can enter the city quickly, I have a chance, I want to ask you to give me more guidance." β
Tianyun smiled and said: "You have done a good job, the defense of the capital has done a very good job under your management, and the soldiers under your command have both a sense of responsibility and love, these are all talents of our Dragon God Empire." I'll go to see Your Majesty later, but don't tell him yet, I don't want too many people to know that I'm back. β
"Yes. Landis replied respectfully.
I stepped forward and said, "Hello, Marshal Landis. Long time no see, I don't know if you still recognize me?"
Landis was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at me, frowned, and suddenly said, "You are a student of Tiandu Academy who was with Zixue's girl when His Majesty hunted last time." Your name?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, it's me, my name is Lei Xiang, and I will ask the marshal to take care of me in the future." β
Landis looked at me, then at Tianyun, and said suspiciously, "Have you already worshipped Lord Heaven as a teacher?"
Tianyun smiled: "Then how can it be, I am not worthy of being his master." Alright, you're busy, we're in town. β
Landis looked at me suspiciously, bowed down and said, "You go slowly, if there is anything I need to do, you can just give me orders." β
Tianyun nodded, and the four of us finally walked into the gate of the capital.
Tianyun was indeed supreme in the Dragon God Empire, and even powerful ministers like Landis respected him.
Walking into the capital, I said to Tianyun, who was looking around: "Old Ancestor Tianyun, you are still powerful! Even Marshal Landis has to kneel down for you." β
Tianyun glanced at me and said, "The reason why he is so respectful to me is because the three major dragoons of their empire have all been taught by me, and when the Holy Dragon Knights were established, the king at that time had a secret edict, and our Holy Dragon Knights have the power of life and death over any official in the empire, and even when the king is mediocre, they can ...... You get the idea. β
My heartstrings trembled, I really didn't expect what Tianyun said, it turned out that there were still these secrets inside, and the Holy Dragon Knights actually had the right to supervise the country, but why did he tell me. I'm just an outsider, and I'm the commander-in-chief of the feuding orcs of the Dragon God Empire.
Tianyun seemed to see my doubts, and said indifferently: "Lei Xiang, don't think about it, take us back to your house to have a look, and then I will go into the palace to meet Your Majesty." β
I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go then." As I spoke, I took Mo Yue's little hand and took the lead in front.
After a while, we have come to our home in the capital, a beautiful little courtyard. The courtyard door was closed, and I stepped forward and knocked softly.
"Who?" said Bai Jian's voice from the courtyard.
"Sister Jian'er, it's me. β
"Ahh
"Lei Xiang, you're back. Although it was only a few words, I could hear the excitement in her heart.
I stepped forward, took her little cold and soft hand, and said, "Sister Jian'er, everything is okay at home?"
Bai Jian was grabbed by my hand, struggled slightly, did not break free, his face rose a flush, and he nodded lightly: "Everything is fine at home, but my mother misses you very much, and you are back." β
I really wanted to ask her if you miss me too, but I didn't say it, although Bai Jian and I already have a marriage contract, the time we have been together is too short after all, and I am afraid that it will frighten her. It's better to cultivate feelings slowly.
Li Feng's voice came from behind him: "I said Lei Xiang, don't you introduce us, you came from afar, and you won't let us in." β
My face turned red, and I hurriedly turned sideways and said, "Let me introduce you to you, this is one of my fiancΓ©es, Bai Jian." Sister Jian'er, these two are the distinguished guests I invited, Tianyun and Lifeng. β
Bai Jian saluted: "Hello, two, please come in quickly." β
Tianyun threw an ambiguous look at me, and walked into my home with Li Feng.
The scene in the courtyard startled Tianyun and Li Feng at the same time, and I said proudly, "How is it?
Li Feng exclaimed: "It is indeed a good place, to be able to arrange such a courtyard in a place like the capital, Lei Xiang, you will enjoy it! The air is really good, it seems to be back in the valley." β
I laughed and said, "This is not my arrangement, but another person with a heart." Let's go, I'll take you to meet my mother. β
Before we could walk down the gravel path to the wooden house, our mother had already greeted us when we heard the sound: "Xiang'er, I knew it was you who came back, oh, who are these two?"
I hurriedly introduced it again, and when I entered the wooden house, Bai Jian said, "You sit down first, and I'll pour you some water." With that, he turned and walked out.
I said to my mother, "Mother, are you okay?"
Mother smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mother will be fine, since I started learning kung fu with you, my mother's body is much tougher." β
"Then I'll rest assured, mother, these two are rare guests! they're both over two hundred years old. This Tianyun Old Ancestor is the current leader of the Holy Dragon Knights, known as the patron saint of light. This Powerful Wind Ancestor is the deputy head of the Holy Dragon Knights, known as the God of War of Exterminating Winds, and is the highest level of the Dragon God Empire. β
My mother was taken aback when she heard my words, stood up, and said, "It turned out to be Tianyun seniors and Li Feng seniors, and the little girl was rude." β
Tianyun said: "Don't be so polite, please sit down." β
The mother's eyes were full of reverence, and she said, "I grew up listening to your glorious deeds when I was a child, and I really didn't expect to see you in person in my lifetime." β
Tianyun smiled and said: "We people are all old and immortal, and we are thieves." This time, we came here mainly for Lei Xiang's business. "On the way, I had already told them who my mother was.
My mother was stunned for a moment, and looked at me suspiciously: "Xiang'er, he ......"
I smiled and said, "Mother, have you forgotten? Didn't you say when I left that I wanted to invite a big man to come back and help me propose marriage? With his old man coming forward, how can Uncle Zifeng give face, right?"
Mother said in surprise: "When did you meet Tianyun senior, why haven't you heard about it?"
I knew that my mother was worried because of my orc identity, and I was afraid that Tianyun would embarrass me because of my identity, so I just wanted to answer, but Tianyun took the lead.
Tianyun replied for me: "We don't know each other if we don't fight, and we can be regarded as friends who have forgotten the year." Lei Xiang is a good boy, you can have his son, I make me jealous! I know he is an orc, but he does not have any aggressive ambitions, even if the orc race is in a high position, but he can think about other races, to be honest, I admire him. This time he came to me and asked me to help him propose, and I was very happy. In the future, the mainland will be the world of these young people, and I, the matchmaker, will be determined. β
I laughed and said, "Old Ancestor Tianyun, you are not old! according to your current situation, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to live for another two hundred years." β
The mother didn't seem to have recovered from the surprise, and muttered, "It's really an honor to have you in charge of Xiang'er." β
I said to Tianyun: "Ancestor, this time you have also seen my mother, should you tell me how to deal with the marriage, I am the party after all!"
Tianyun nodded and said, "Okay, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you." However, it requires you to make some sacrifices for politics, can you agree?"
I was stunned, what I hate the most is political marriage, he won't want to find me another wife, frowned, I said, "You talk about it first, see if I can do it?"
Tianyun said indifferently: "That day, after you told me about getting married, I thought about it for several days, and finally came up with a good solution." Lei Xiang, I know that you don't have any pursuit of fame and fortune, but I hope that you can consider the civilians of humans, orcs, and demons. I want to make your wedding bigger. β
"Big, what's going on?" I seemed to have caught something, but I couldn't tell.
Tianyun Zhengse said: "You now have four fiancΓ©es, among which Yue'er is the princess of the demon clan, the Miss Baijian just now is a fox man in the orc clan, and the other two are the daughters of Duke Zifeng." In other words, your fiancΓ©e includes people from all three tribes. If you want to marry your fiancΓ©es at the same time and not let them be wronged, there is only one place where their families can be present and there will be no conflict. β
His words made my heartstrings tremble, and I said in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Tianyun nodded, "You should have thought of it, yes, I'm talking about the open space in front of the Stroul Fortress." Don't get excited, listen to me. β
Tianyun stopped me from interjecting, and continued: "I think so, since your fiancΓ©e belongs to the three clans, and their identities have a certain status in each clan, and you yourself are an important minister in the orc clan, if we make this wedding bigger, it is a good time to adjust the relationship between the three clans." If I'm right, now that the Demon Race and the Orc Race have no plans to invade the Dragon God Empire in a short period of time, in that case, why don't we take this opportunity to reach an agreement so that at least there will be no conflict between the three clans for a relatively long time?"
I was a little confused by his words, how can a marriage be so troublesome, Tianyun, Tianyun, no matter when you can't forget the peace of the mainland, there is really you, no wonder he agreed to be my matchmaker so easily.
"Old Ancestor Tianyun, how do I feel like I've fallen for you. Go ahead, I'd like to hear your complete thoughts. But I haven't said yes yet. β
Tianyun smiled confidently and said, "You will agree." I'm going to make your wedding a little grander, and with your status among the orcs, it shouldn't be a problem to ask the Beast Emperor to officiate at your wedding. And Yue'er is the princess favored by the Demon Emperor, and the Demon Emperor will definitely come forward. I will consult with Your Majesty and ask him to officiate for the daughter of Duke Zifeng. In this way, the heads of the three clans can gather outside the fortress of Stru, and while your wedding will be a political marriage, it will bring peace to the common people. I think that with the existence of our Holy Dragon Knights, the Demon Emperor and the Beast Emperor should not refuse our peace talks. In this way, you can also marry the girl you love at the same time, killing two birds with one stone, why not?"
Li Feng laughed and said, "Big brother, you really have you." This is indeed a good idea, Lei Xiang, you can agree. When the time comes, your wedding will be the biggest wedding on the mainland. β
At this time, Bai Jian walked in, and she also noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, and put the brewed tea in front of us, and then walked behind her mother to listen to our conversation.
Alas, he was still calculated by Tianyun, but the method he said was indeed feasible, which would not let the women be wronged, and could achieve the goal of peace.
However, if I really do what he says, I am afraid that I will not be able to move an inch on the mainland in the future, and it is not a good thing to become a household name. After all, Tianyun has lived for more than 200 years, and he is really an old man.
"Tianyun Ancestor, what if I don't agree to your proposal?"
Tianyun smiled slightly and said, "It's okay if you don't agree. He turned to his mother and said, "You should be from the royal family, and you don't want to see any more disputes between the three clans, right?"
The mother nodded unconsciously and said, "Yes, for hundreds of years, the war on the mainland has never stopped. β
Tianyun said with satisfaction: "That's why we have to do this, Lei Xiang, didn't you tell me that you will live in seclusion after you get married? β
He paused, took a sip of the tea sent by the white sword, and continued: "You know the strength of our Holy Dragon Knights, although your skills are very high, but the combined power of demons and orcs cannot compete with our Dragon God Empire. Although the ancestors once said that every living thing on the continent has the right to live, if there are constant wars between various races, sooner or later the continent will be destroyed by war. Therefore, if the two Warcraft clans invade the Dragon God Empire again, I will lead the forces in the group to participate in the war, I think, you should know the consequences very well. Even if it is the current majesty of the Dragon God Empire, he will not stop me. β
He was threatening me, in fact, I already agreed with his opinion on the wedding in my heart, but I was very angry at his threat, and my heart was full of anger, and I said coldly: "Even if your Holy Dragon Knights can destroy our two clans in the end, I'm afraid they will suffer a lot of losses." β
Tianyun sighed and said, "Lei Xiang, you are a smart person, what I just said is just a possibility." As long as the peace talks between the three clans succeed this time, it will be a good thing for the three clans, and everyone will be able to recuperate for a long time, so think about it. Don't you want to be with your beloved girl? If I come out against it, even if Duke Zifeng originally wanted to marry his daughter to you, he will change his mind, I hope you can think it through. β
I didn't want to say no to him, especially what he said was really threatening to me.
I glared at him and said dejectedly, "Tianyun Old Ancestor, you are too deceitful. Do I still have a choice? Well, I agree. I have the conditions, though. β
Tianyun showed an expression that he knew you would agree, and smiled: "Say it, I'll try to promise you." β
I said, "First of all, this grand political wedding is what you want to do, I don't care about anything, everything is handled by you, I am only responsible for attending the wedding." Secondly, you have to guarantee that if this peace negotiation is successful, your Holy Dragon Knights will never be able to participate in any war on the continent in the future, can you do it?"
Tianyun said: "The first point I can promise you, these Majesties should be able to handle it well. However, the demons and orcs still want you to inform them in person and communicate with them. As for the second point, I can't promise you that the Holy Dragon Knights will never participate in the war, but I can guarantee that as long as the Demon and Beast clans fulfill the peace talks, as long as the Dragon God Empire is not mortally threatened in the future, we will not make a move, how about it?"
My goal has been achieved, and I nodded, "Deal." β
To be honest, dealing with Tianyun is really tiring, but he is indeed also thinking about the majority of civilians on the mainland, and I can't find anything about him, but I just feel very cowardly in my heart.
Tianyun laughed and said, "Okay, that's it." β
He turned his gaze to his mother and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"
The mother shook her head and said, "I just hope you don't embarrass Xiang'er too much." β
