Chapter 19 Delivering on Commitments

"What? Marriage? I disagree!"

Xu Fengnian reacted greatly.

When his eldest sister married Jiangnan, he didn't agree, and it was impossible to agree to send his second sister to marry at this moment.

What's more, the person who married was still a member of the Zhao royal family.

Wu Suzhi's death has always been an insurmountable hurdle in his heart.

Moreover, although he has no evidence, he has already guessed about this matter in his heart.

His mother's death must have been inseparable from the royal family.

In this case, how could he agree to marry his second sister to someone from the royal family?

Xu Xiao sighed and frowned, "Do you know that if you refuse, my Xu family will be at risk of being wiped out?"

Xu Fengnian's expression froze, and he said slowly: "You mean, once I Bei Liang refuses, the royal family will do something to our Xu family?"

Xu Xiao's expression was slightly complicated, and he said, "If the royal family really wants to move me Beiliang, how can your father and I have such a headache?"

He looked at Xu Fengnian deeply, and said in a deep tone, "Do you know that the King of Shu alone has the ability to destroy my Xu family?"

Xu Fengnian's throat was dry, and he subconsciously didn't believe it.

He has studied with Li Yishan for many years, and he has never looked down on martial artists.

I haven't practiced martial arts in these years.

Even retorted, "Alone? Even if he is a so-called land immortal, I Beiliang will bring tens of thousands of horses, how can he be an enemy?"

Xu Xiao recalled a scene that happened in the lobby not long ago.

Xu Yanbing blocked for him I don't know how many assassinations in the open and in the dark, and the strength of a half-step land fairy realm is also the top in this river and lake.

Even in the face of a real land immortal, it is impossible to be hit so easily by a single move.

He shook his head and said, "This person is so strong that I have almost never seen it in my life.

Tens of thousands of horses, to put it lightly, even if I have an army of 300,000 in Beiliang, if such a strong man wants to leave, there is no reluctance to be involved with a warrior who can fight, who can keep him?

Once the other party escapes, can I still be by my side all the time with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to guard it?

Do you know what kind of terrifying deterrent a real top powerhouse has?

Back then, I stepped on the rivers and lakes and collected half of the martial arts cheats on the rivers and lakes, so that I had Tingchao Pavilion, a so-called martial arts holy place.

But if there was such a strong man who attacked me back then, I am afraid that there would be no such so-called future."

Xu Fengnian seems to be prodigal, but in fact, he is well versed in the world and knows the severity.

Xu Xiao's simple words made him understand the horror of this King of Shu.

It's just that he is still a little unwilling.

"What did Master say?"

Xu Xiao groaned: "Now that the King of Shu is listening to the tide pavilion, he gave your father and me a half-month deadline to consider, before that, I had better not meet with him.

So, I haven't had time to meet your master yet, but he should have been in general aware of it.

In the past few days, you can find an excuse to ask this Shu king to leave the palace temporarily, and I will go and discuss it with your master."

Xu Fengnian's face was slightly condensed, he could see that his old father was very jealous of the King of Shu.

Obviously, what happened at the time of today's meeting made a deep impression on Xu Xiao.

In a sense, it also reflects the horror of this Shu king.

It seems that he needs to find Chu Lushan for some detailed information about the King of Shu, so that he can think of a way to let the other party leave the palace.

Xu Xiao was thinking about the second thing that Li Chengqian promised him today.

The matter of bringing all the people involved in the Baiyi case in the capital to him alive.

Back then, as an eyewitness, he knew far more than Xu Fengnian tracked down.

Who did it, he even had a few clear candidates in mind.

But Wu Su's entrustment before his death, the countless people under his command, this huge Beiliang, all tied him up, so that he knew who the enemy was, but

It is easy not to dare to take revenge.

As a husband, who doesn't dare to avenge his wife, who can understand the torment?

In fact, after Li Chengqian said this promise, the balance in his heart has shifted somewhat.

To put it mildly, even his biological daughter can marry Jiangnan for marriage, let alone an adopted daughter who is not related by blood?..

It's just that Li Chengqian's identity as the seventh prince made him hesitate to make a choice.

The heavenly family is ruthless, especially this Zhao family, who likes to do some things like to cook with cunning rabbits and dead lackeys.

How dare he ignore the future of the entire Beiliang and put it on one person?

For a while, the father and son thought about it, and they both fell silent.

At this moment, there was a bang, and the closed door opened in an instant.

Li Chengqian stepped in with the frightened Jiang Ni.

I was still listening to the tide pavilion before, and in an instant, I came to Xu Xiao's courtyard.

In the meantime, the speed is as if he is stepping on the wind, and Jiang Ni has never had such an experience.

However, in addition to being frightened, she also faintly felt a certain unrestrained and unrestrained pleasure.

She has always been cautious in this Beiliang Palace, and it is the first time that she has faced the true owner of this huge palace so blatantly.

And behind them was Cao Changqing, who didn't dare to leave lightly for half a step.

As for the guards outside the door, under the suppression of the power of heaven and earth, it can be said that they have no power to resist.

Xu Xiao saw Li Chengqian coming here, especially Jiang Ni in his arms, and his eyes couldn't help but tighten.

Then a smile quickly grew.

"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

Xu Fengnian looked at Jiang Ni, who was held in Li Chengqian's arms, and his face changed several times.

Then he looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Excellency is such an unworldly strongman, why should you get along with a maid?"

In his opinion, this scene must have been done by Li Chengqian forcing Jiang Ni.

Li Chengqian glanced at Xu Fengnian lightly, and said unhurriedly, "My woman, why should I have trouble with him?"

Your woman? Xu Fengnian was stunned, and then his eyes fell on Jiang Ni's body.

Jiang Ni lowered his eyes lightly and did not refute.

In an instant, Xu Fengnian felt a pain in his heart.

Only then did he realize that it seemed that as early as the moment Jiang Ni came to Beiliang Palace, her figure was deeply imprinted in his heart.

At this time, Cao Changqing took half a step forward and said coldly: "I, Princess Xichu, am not someone else's maid, if you dare to insult again, I will behead you here!"

Between the indifferent words, the domineering qi rushed straight towards Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian's eyes tightened, his whole body trembled, he took a few steps back, and stumbled and fell to the ground.

Xu Xiao couldn't take care of Xu Fengnian at the moment, he looked at Li Chengqian, and said in a deep voice, "Why did Your Highness come?"

Li Chengqian smiled faintly and said, "It's just to fulfill the promise."

As he spoke, he let go of the hand holding Jiang Ni and said softly, "Go, don't worry, he can't resist."

Losing that warm embrace, Jiang Ni couldn't help but tremble when he looked at Xu Xiao with an angry face.

However, listening to the gentle words in her ear, she still mustered up the courage and took out the rune that had followed her for many years from between her sleeves.
