Chapter 262: It's hard to escape fate
As soon as Pan Xuan's words came out, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.Long Ziyan's face had already turned to the side, and her eyebrows were full of deep melancholy.
Long Teng didn't speak, and could only look at his father and see his answer calmly.
After a few breaths of silence, Long Xiaotian laughed, got up and bent down and saluted: "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my Long family is also deeply honored. ”
Pan Xuan was about to be overjoyed, but Long Ziyan suddenly stood up at this time and said, "I don't want to, I already have someone in mind, please think twice." ”
After Pan Xuan heard Long Ziyan's words, his face sank at first, and then he smiled slightly, and said, "The person you like is the person named Qin Feng, right? I have heard about this, but do you think he can be compared to me? ”
Long Ziyan raised her face and looked at Pan Xuan, and said with an unwavering look in her eyes: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a hundred, a thousand times more noble than him, but I already belong to my heart, and I can no longer accommodate others, I beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to let the little girl go, right?"
Long Xiaotian wanted to scold Long Ziyan, but he couldn't interject for a while, and a wave of anger could only be temporarily held in his heart, so as to see how Prince Panxuan would react.
The corners of Pan Xuan's mouth curved a little, stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed outside: "If you know the purpose of this prince's coming to Yanyang County today, you want me to let you go at this moment, so what face do you let me face everyone in the world?"
"This has nothing to do with the question of whether the world knows or not, as long as the prince can let the little girl go, then the little woman will clarify to the world, just say that His Royal Highness the prince doesn't look down on the little girl. Long Ziyan looked at Pan Xuan pleadingly, hoping that he would retreat.
It's just that Pan Xuan would give up so lightly? I'm afraid it's difficult!
Pan Xuan sneered, his face became gloomy, changed his originally gentle face, and said: "Miss Long, what you think is too simple! This prince has come all the way, and the whole world knows the mind of this prince, how can you say that it can be resolved with your words? This prince will sue you now, and your prince will decide." ”
"You can't be ignored"
Before Long Ziyan finished speaking, Long Xiaotian hurriedly scolded: "Bold, how can you be rude to His Royal Highness the Prince?
Pan Xuan turned around with a cold face and walked out, and when he arrived at the door of the hall, he stopped again, and said coldly: "For the sake of the reputation of this prince, you have to marry, and if you don't marry, you have to marry, if you are obsessed again, this prince will write to his father, and say that your Long family has humiliated my royal face, and then I will see how your Long family will buy land." ”
After Pan Xuan finished speaking, he continued: "If you can't give me an answer at sunrise ten minutes tomorrow, you will bear the consequences. ”
At this moment, Zi Panxuan really began to threaten, he knew how many enemies Long Xiaotian had over the years, and he firmly grasped this point, and used this rank to blackmail Long Xiaotian's father and daughter. As long as Long Ziyan dares not to agree, then as long as Long Xiaotian's position as the county king is withdrawn, countless enemies will flock to him, and the Long family will be wiped out and wiped out.
Long Xiaotian didn't chase him out to intercede, because he knew that it was useless to intercede, and the only choice was in Long Ziyan's hands. Long Xiaotian's face was full of grievances, anger, and even sadness.
I think he has made a lot of contributions to guarding the frontier for the empire for so many years, but in the end, if Long Ziyan does not agree to this marriage, then he will lose most of his life.
The Praetorian Guards outside the hall had already supported Pan Xuan and left, leaving the three father and daughter of Long Xiaotian in the hall in a daze.
"Dad, I" Long Ziyan wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it. Her eyes were already moist.
Long Xiaotian waved his hand tiredly, and also walked outside: "Don't say anything!
Long Teng said at this time: "Dad, why don't we escape?"
Hehe, Long Xiaotian looked up to the sky and smiled sadly: "Escape, where can you escape? Maybe our family will have to be buried here before we get out of Yanyang County." ”
Long Xiaotian exhaled a long breath and sighed: "Zi Yan, Dad doesn't force you, Dad promised your mother to take good care of you, so Dad let you choose for yourself, if you choose to marry the prince, our Long family can continue, if you don't want to, then you can leave here as soon as possible! Dad will cover you." ”
After saying this, Long Xiaotian left without looking back, and the staggering back made Long Ziyan cry when she saw it. When did Long Ziyan ever see her father's back like this. In her impression since she was a child, her father was a tall and mighty man, but recently this back made her see that her father was old.
Long Xiaotian has no father and mother since he was a child, and he has suffered from the indifference of the world, and by chance he once worshipped a traveling swordsman as a teacher, learned a martial arts, and later embarked on the road of cultivation. That year, he became a swordsman, but in order to make a living, he threw himself into the military camp, and he also made countless military exploits.
His status is getting higher and higher year by year, and his cultivation is also getting deeper and deeper year by year in countless battles. At the age of thirty, he had become a general that year, and then married Long Ziyan's mother. But he didn't want to give birth to Long Ziyan not long after, but his wife fell ill and died, leaving him with two young children.
Long Xiaotian has been lonely all his life, except for the smile every time he goes home and sees his children, he basically has never really smiled, at this time he really feels old!
Long Ziyan cried silently, crying very sadly, this choice was more important than her life, if she had a choice, she would rather choose to die by herself than affect her relatives.
Long Teng pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, walked up to Long Ziyan, and took her into his arms, so that she could cry with confidence.
Long Teng hugged him very tightly, and at this moment, he finally felt the importance of cultivation. If he cultivates to the point where he is not afraid of anyone, he will be able to protect his father and sister from being bullied.
It's just that it's useless to say anything now, he doesn't have the cultivation, let alone the power to stop this from happening.
Long Ziyan's voice was hoarse until she cried in Long Teng's arms until she fainted.
Long Teng's heart was very painful, and after glancing at the door with resentment, he picked up Long Ziyan and walked out of the hall door to the backyard.
The entire county king's mansion fell into silence, and it seemed so out of place with the lively world outside.
The day passed quickly, and in the dead of night, Long Ziyan had woken up, standing alone in front of the window and looking into the distance.
She didn't cry anymore, she didn't shed any more, because there were no tears to shed.
This time, Qin Feng would not be able to appear like last time, and this time there would be no one who could help her survive this catastrophe. It was her fate, her own fate.
