"A strange man from outside the Imperial City entered the General's Mansion and was warmly welcomed by the Nian Butler!"

This news quickly spread to many families and forces in the Imperial City of Binh Duong.

In the branch of the Ming Yang Chamber of Commerce in Binh Duong Imperial City.

Shangguan Lengyun sat casually on the Taishi chair, casually picked one from a plate of grapes on the table and threw it into his mouth. The rosy lips took the purple-red grapes in their mouths, and they quickly bit the skin to suck the flesh clean, and then spit out the skins and grapes into a bamboo basket on the ground. Impartially, not a single grape seed fell out. And her lips were moisturized with sugar water, which made her appear even softer.

The people standing in the hall looked down at the ground, not daring to remind her of the indecent movements. At this moment, his face was very respectful, even a little uneasy.

"This news is good, it should be the best news I have heard in the past few months since I came to Pingyang! After a few months, progress has been as slow as a snail, and you people are not much smarter than pigs! If it weren't for the special status of this girl, it is not easy to show her face, I would not have counted on you at all! The news brought to me this time is not bad, I will not punish you for anything, go to the account room to receive some reward money!"

"Thank you, Miss, for the reward!" the people in the hall hurriedly bent down to thank them, and then ran quickly.

Shangguan Lengyun nodded and said to himself: "Even people have already come to the door, so the General's Mansion really has no intention of forming a marriage with the Xia family's royal family? It seems that His Majesty the Emperor's wish is really going to be frustrated!"

"I just don't know if this refusal is Ling Zhanye's intention or Ling Cangyue's meaning? The Ling family has stood tall in the Great Zhou Dynasty for nearly a thousand years, relying on the loyalty of several generations of the Ling family to the Xia family's royal family. All the men and sons of the Ling family joined the army to defend their families and defend the country, and most of them died on the battlefield, and even the women married more soldiers and soldiers, which is simply full of loyal martyrs! But why did they refuse His Majesty the Emperor's proposal this time? For the current Great Zhou Dynasty, what could be more beneficial to the country than marriage? Is this refusal for some other purpose, or is there really a so-called love?"

Shangguan Lengyun picked another grape and bit it into his mouth, his mind was full of thoughts, "Everyone knows that Ling Zhanye can't be treasonous, but the strongest trust can't help the erosion of rumors, there should always be something to be done about this matter! Now all the key is focused on the new young man, I don't know what direction he can make the situation go! Well, I really should find a chance to meet that young man." ”

......

In an ordinary courtyard in Pingyang City, there are two people, an old man and a young man.

"If the Xia Ling family really marries, it will be an irreparable and huge blow to our plan, and it will even die from it. Originally, Ling Zhanye's rejection of the Xia family's royal marriage was good news for us, but now a young man really appeared to marry Miss Ling! Now things have changed far beyond our expectations, and they are far from our plan. What are we going to do next?"

Lian Bo worriedly analyzed the current situation, and looked at Gongsun Yuanjia, who was casually fiddling with flowers and plants, very anxious, but helpless.

"Now this young man has become the key to the matter!Childe, do you want us to start with this young man who suddenly appeared?"

Gongsun Yuanjia picked off a small green insect from the potted plant and threw it out of the wall, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, this young man came suddenly, his identity is mysterious, and what can make the Ling family value must not be mediocre." Don't venture into him, or you'll be self-defeating. Let's wait and see what happens, and wait for something to be clear before making a decision. I don't believe the General's Mansion will be able to do what it normally wants!"

Lian Bo was even more anxious, and persuaded: "Childe, we don't have much time, if we don't make a move, I'm afraid we will face a dead end......!"

He paused when he said this, and said with a worried expression: "I received a secret message from the door that that person is already on his way to Pingyang City. ”

Gongsun Yuanjia was stunned for a moment, but still asked calmly: "Then did they say that they called me back to the mountain gate?"

Lian Bo was stunned for a moment and replied, "Not really!"

"Oh. Then let's wait and see!" Gongsun Yuanjia replied lightly.

......

Crape Myrtle Villa in the south of the city has gradually reached the season of crape myrtle blooming, and thousands of crape myrtle trees in front of and behind the house of the villa have begun to sprout.

In a pavilion in the backyard of the villa, there are a man and a woman sitting and standing. Beyond the pavilion is a vast lake, where fish and willows swim against each other, and a few lush lotus flowers bloom on the shore.

Long Youwei sat quietly in the gazebo, sipping a pot of tea. Ryuzo stood aside with his head down, his face was sometimes angry, sometimes worried, sometimes sad and sometimes anxious, several expressions changed back and forth, and his mood was repeated.

"It seems that Sister Ling is really unwilling to marry His Majesty!" Long Youwei sighed and put the teacup in her hand on the table.

"Master, the Ling family has refused to marry with an iron heart, what should we do now?" Long San asked in a low voice, and then analyzed with a frown: "General Ling has been defending his family and defending the country against foreign enemies for many years, and his loyalty to our Great Zhou is known to everyone. How important this marriage is to our current situation, I think he must know very well. ”

"I think the reason why he rejected His Majesty's marriage was because of Ling Cangyue. Ling Cangyue already had a heart, so she was unwilling to marry His Majesty, and General Ling's beloved daughter had no choice but to refuse this marriage. If the failure of the marriage is to blame, it can only be blamed on Ling Cangyue's ignorance of the general situation, ignoring the danger of the country and indulging in the love of her children. Even that strange boy who popped up out of nowhere should be remembered as a great sin!"

Long Youwei shook her head and said, "It's no wonder Sister Ling, I guessed the possibility of a failed marriage from the beginning. In this world, apart from Uncle Ling and his wife, I may be the only one who knows her best. ”

"Sister Ling has a straight temper, she has always been straightforward in doing things, she is upright and unyielding like General Ling, and she knows how to be righteous. Although she is cold, I know that her heart is as hot as a flame, yearning for freedom. Although the queen is noble and the mother of a country, these can't let her take a look at it at all, and the luxurious palace can't trap her heart. And don't forget, Sister Ling has also fought for the country for several years and made many achievements, and I think her loyalty to Da Zhou is by no means inferior to her father. Whether she wants to marry His Majesty or not, I think that in addition to her liking freedom, maybe she really already has a heart!"

Ryuzo frowned deeply, not knowing how to deal with it anymore.

After a long time, Long San mustered up the courage and asked tentatively: "Master, people's hearts can also change. If we let her die, will the marriage go smoothly?Do you think we should find an opportunity to give the boy who doesn't know how to live or die ......?" he made a knife gesture.

"Shut up!" Long Youwei suddenly became angry, "Don't forget what the purpose of our establishment is! We want to train talents to serve the country, not to persecute Zhongliang to control the government! Long San, I warn you, if something happens to Sister Ling's side, even if we have been in love for many years, I will never spare you!"

"Yes! Long San broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and he regretted it.

"Get up, and Hugh will bring it up later. Long Youwei picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea inside.

"Speaking of which, I miss Brother Li a little, during the time I was with him, I felt very relaxed and comfortable, and I could always forget these messy troubles. Later, we missed the opportunity to meet again. I don't know how he's doing now, but I suddenly want to pick out a few more clothes for him......"

......

Big families such as the Yu family, the Ye family, and many high-ranking officials in Pingyang City also received the news of the secret report from the eyeliner, and the reactions of each family or force were different.

Those families or noble ladies who dreamed of marrying the royal family began to hold banquets to celebrate, and those ministers or forces with different intentions also breathed a sigh of relief. But those princes and nobles who were looking forward to saving the country by marriage jumped to their feet and scolded angrily, smashed cups and bowls, and couldn't eat or sleep well. And those admirers of Ling Cangyue were all like ignited explosive kegs, waiting for the savage to explode at any time!

The huge city of Binh Duong has already had an undercurrent under its quiet and peaceful appearance.

And when countless people were talking about it, the protagonist of the topic was in a quiet courtyard in the general's mansion, slowly reading his "Collection of Famous Generals' Stories".

Because of Ling Cangyue's warning, Li Xuanji did not leave the gate of the General's Mansion again. He himself is a person who likes to be quiet, and he is not like Jin Ning who likes to go shopping and loves to be lively. He simply hid in the general's mansion to pass the boring time by reading books.

However, the only book around him was the old "Famous General's Story Collection", so he had to take it out and read it. In any case, it is a relic left by his parents, and he can't put it away forever, right?

It is not known who wrote it, and it does not mark any author, nor does it mark anything that can be inferred from the date. The entire book is written in rune font, except for the name written on the front page, and inside is the table of contents index and the main text.

On Li Xuanji's way to the Imperial City of Pingyang, he often turned out this book and read it in his spare time.

It records the stories of hundreds of famous generals who have fought for thousands of years. Some of these famous generals have been recorded in the current classics, and many more have not even heard of their names. But the stories recorded in the book seem to be stories that actually happened. Because the above records are too detailed, no matter how many troops there are, what the terrain is, even weapons and war beasts are clearly recorded, and sometimes even the words of the main general are recorded.

Li Xuanji had never seen such a well-documented collection of stories.

The rune font is a very magical font, and this font itself has a rune rhyme and is full of mystery. And all the stories in this book are written in rune fonts, and the story makes people feel inexplicably beautiful and smooth in their eyes, so that the mind gradually falls into the story, and let the mind follow the development of the story to find out!
