"Your Majesty intends to point you to a marriage. ”

Xiao Lie's first words caught Xiao Yu off guard. For a while, he didn't know how to answer, although he was the eldest son of Xiao Lieyan, the powerful Governor of the Secret Guard, but the father and son have been deeply involved in these years, but the relationship is actually not harmonious.

And that saint, Xiao Yu sneered in his heart, would he be so kind? From the bottom of his heart, Xiao Yu had no trust in that high-ranking Ninety-Five Venerable, let alone the so-called loyalty, and even said that if he had the opportunity, he would not mind following the example of the ancients and doing the five-step thing of blood spattered.

A cold snort interrupted Xiao Yu's thoughts.

This cold snort made it seem that the whole hall trembled slightly.

Xiao Yu even felt as if someone had smashed a hammer on his chest with a sledgehammer, his chest was very stuffy, and his face instantly turned pale, if it weren't for Xiao Yu's insistence on practicing swords for many years and his strong body, Xiao Lie's snort alone would have cost Xiao Yu half of his life.

"It's all up to my father. Xiao Yu lowered his head expressionlessly, but his right hand hidden in the sleeve of his wide robe was still clenched into a fist.

Xiao Yu has always known very well that Xiao Lie, the Duke of Anguo, has a very high cultivation, after all, being able to rank among the five major governors is a proof in itself.

The five governors in the five major governors are the Metropolitan Governor of the World Soldiers and Horses, the Metropolitan Governor of the Central Capital, the Metropolitan Governor of the Eastern Capital, the Metropolitan Governor of the Northern Capital, and the Metropolitan Governor of the Secret Guard. The strength of these five governors is obvious to all in the court, after all, when there is a war on the border, it is not enough to rely on lip service, but also to rely on real swords and real guns to fight on the battlefield.

Xiao Lie's face could not show joy or anger, and he said in a calm and almost indifferent tone: "Your Majesty's marriage partner for you is the princess of King Zhenbei, Princess Qingyue. Since this matter is His Majesty's will, this Duke can only abide by it. ”

Xiao Yu's eyes, who lowered his head, flickered slightly, as if he was thinking of something, "Yes." Father. ”

Xiao Lie leaned back in his chair, and his indifferent face revealed a complicated expression, which flashed away, and then continued: "But Princess Qingyue does not live in the Eastern Capital, but in the Grassland Royal Court. The mission of the steppe will go back in the next year, and you will have to go with you when the time comes. ”

Xiao Yu didn't speak, his mind that had been silent for five years finally couldn't help but come alive at this moment, and a great opportunity to leave the Anguo Mansion was in front of Xiao Yu. For a while, Xiao Yu almost forgot that this was in the main hall of the Anguo Mansion, and it was Xiao Lie, the Duke of Anguo, who was sitting in front of him, but he was stunned.

Xiao Lie raised his eyes and looked directly at Xiao Yu, his voice was still cold, and he couldn't hear joy or anger, "Talk back." ”

Xiao Lie's gaze alone made Xiao Yu feel a lot of pressure, and he came back to his senses in an instant.

Although there was a breath of resentment in his chest, Xiao Yu, who had lived in the Eastern Capital for twenty years, knew better than anyone that he must not be stunned when he should pretend to be a grandson, so his face just changed slightly, and the fists hidden in his sleeves clenched and clenched, and he had already readjusted his mentality and replied calmly: "It's all up to my father's arrangement." ”

Xiao Lie lowered his eyelids and hummed lightly.

Xiao Lie retracted his gaze, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, only to find that the placket behind his back was a little wet with cold sweat.

I don't know if I saw Xiao Yu's similar appearance to myself, or something else, a strange smile crossed the corner of Xiao Lie's mouth: "The customs on the grassland are very different from ours in the Central Plains, you have to be prepared yourself." ”

"Customs?!" Xiao Yu didn't understand what this sentence meant for a while.

"You'll know when the time comes. Xiao Lie said lightly, and did not tell Xiao Yu what Sun Zhongguan said about the princess and the horse.

"Yes, father. Xiao Yu lowered his head again.

"You have done the crown ceremony, and it is only natural that you should marry a wife. Xiao Lie said again: "This time, Your Majesty will be gracious, presumably the will will come down in a few days." ”

Seeing that Xiao Lie's tone was slightly softened, Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "Father, since the marriage is decided, then I want to pay tribute to my deceased mother." ”

I don't know if Xiao Lie still feels guilty about Xiao Yu's mother, every year on the day of Xiao Yu's mother's death, Xiao Lie will acquiesce to Xiao Yu to worship.

After Xiao Lie heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he remembered something, and he was silent for a while before he slowly spoke: "That's fine, so you can go." ”

"Thank you, father. Xiao Yu bowed.

Xiao Lie seemed to become a little impatient, and waved his hand: "You go to the chief steward to get two hundred taels of silver, go ahead." ”

"Yes. Xiao Yu responded and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

Xiao Yu came out of the main hall, passed through several corridors, and passed through several portals. It took about two quarters of an hour to walk, which shows the size of the mansion.

But although this mansion is big, after all, it is Xiao Yu's home for the first fifteen years, and he is familiar with every grass and tree here, even if there are changes in the past five years, he will not get lost.

In Xiao Yu's memory, when he was a child, his mother took him to this huge mansion, but now, his mother is gone, this is not his home, and he is finally going to leave this place where he has lived for 20 years.

"Well, there's not much nostalgia here. Xiao Yu closed his eyes and sighed lightly.

After finding the chief steward and receiving the money from the account room, Xiao Yu walked on the way back to his yard.

Although I don't know what Xiao Lie thinks of this marriage, what His Majesty thinks, and who are the people in it, Xiao Yu still sees a glimmer of hope in it, leaving the hope of the Anguo Mansion and the Eastern Capital.

Only by leaving these two cages can Xiao Yu have the opportunity to find the rumored Three Sects of the Dao Demon Buddha and have a chance to become a ...... A person who cultivates.

Of course, the risk is proportional to the reward, Xiao Yu's trip to the grassland this time will definitely not be peaceful, or it may be a dead end, a game to eradicate his "remnants".

Chop the grass without leaving roots. The people of the Central Plains have believed in a tradition for many years. If there is any remnant of iniquity, it will always be like a fish in the throat. If you don't pull out this thorn, I'm afraid some people won't be able to sleep soundly.

Of course, Xiao Yu knows better than anyone the mentality of these so-called princes of the Eastern Capital, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, as for who wants to get rid of himself, Xiao Yu didn't guess, and he didn't want to guess. Now he is not qualified to think about this, but after saving his life, it is not too late to think about it.

In the past, the little grandfather of An Guogong, who could also be domineering in the best place in the world, has been reduced to a down-and-out prince in name only, Xiao Yu has lost his edges and corners, his face is expressionless, his eyes are gloomy, and he walks in the cold Guogong Mansion.

Walking to the front of his small courtyard, Xiao Yu stopped and whispered to himself: "Stay until the eighth day of the lunar month next year." ”

When my flowers bloom, a hundred flowers kill!
