"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 leisurely 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 through the skins to suck up the flesh, and then spit out the skins and seeds 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 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 my special status and I can't show my face, I wouldn't have counted on you at all! The news brought to me this time is not bad, I won't punish you for anything, go to the account room and get some reward money myself!"

"Thank you, Miss, for the reward!" the people in the hall hurriedly bent down to thank them, and then ran away quickly, not daring to stay for a moment.

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 soldiers and soldiers as wives, which is simply full of loyalty! 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? Was this refusal for some other purpose or was it really for the so-called 'sweetheart'?"

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 reaches a marriage, it will be an irreparable huge blow to our plan, and we will even die from it. Originally, Ling Zhanye's rejection of the Xia family's royal family's marriage proposal was good news for us, but now a young man really appeared to marry Miss Ling! Now the change in the situation has far exceeded our expectations, and it is 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 worm from the potted plant and threw it outside 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 can be so smooth!"

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 his face was a little ugly: "I received a message from the person in the door that the person was already on his way to Pingyang City. ”

Gongsun Yuanjia was stunned, but still asked calmly, "Then did they say that they would call 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.

It has gradually reached the season of crape myrtle blooming, and thousands of crape myrtles in front of and behind the houses of the entire villa have begun to sprout.

In a pavilion in the back garden of the villa, a man and a woman are sitting and standing. Beyond the pavilion is a vast lake, where fish and willows swim against each other, and near the shore a lush lotus flower blooms.

Long Youwei sat quietly in the gazebo, sipping a pot of tea. Long San 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 extremely complicated.

"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 said 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. I think he must be very aware of how important this marriage is to our current situation in Da Zhou. ”

"I think the reason why he rejected His Majesty's proposal to marry was because of Ling Cangyue. Ling Cangyue already had a place in her heart, so she was unwilling to marry His Majesty, and General Ling's beloved daughter had no choice but to refuse this proposal. The failure of the marriage was all because Ling Cangyue did not understand the general situation, and indulged in the love of her children regardless of the danger of the country. 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. ”

"Although Sister Ling is cold, I know that her heart is as fierce 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. 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 more about the righteousness of the Gangchang. 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 is the purpose of our hard work to establish the Dragon Pavilion! We are 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 knew that she was really angry, so he didn't dare to say any more. But his worries were even worse, "Master, if Miss Ling is unwilling to marry His Majesty, and His Majesty insists on marrying, then wouldn't you ......?"

Long Youwei's body stiffened and returned to normal, and said lightly: "If Your Majesty needs it, why don't I sacrifice some? We have been encouraging others to pay and sacrifice for this country, and when the matter comes, we hide instead, how can this be done by a gentleman?"

"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. It's a shame that we missed the last time we met. 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 powder kegs, waiting to explode at any time!

The huge city of Binh Duong has already had an undercurrent surging 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 doesn't like to go shopping like Jin Ning. He simply hid in the general's mansion to pass the boring time by reading books.

The only book he had 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, inside is the table of contents index and the main text, and nothing else.

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

The book records the stories of hundreds of famous generals who commanded the army to fight thousands of years ago. Some of these famous generals have been recorded in the current classics, and many more have not even heard of their names. And each of these classic battles can be described by the word 'legend'! Find the possibility in the impossible and turn the tide of the battle! Everyone is a peerless general, a peerless commander, and this book can even be regarded as an epic ode to those famous generals!

The battles recorded in the book seem to be very exaggerated, but they make Li Xuanji feel as if they are all stories that have really 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 story.

And the rune font is a very magical font, this font itself has a rune rhyme, 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!
