At that moment, Xiao Tianqing was like a king, exuding dazzling light all over his body, making people unable to take their eyes off.

"Father, there is one more thing I want to tell you." After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Tianqing still couldn't be sure whether he wanted to accept Ye Yichen's suggestion, although the idea was good, the price he could pay was indeed big. Emperor Ling was not a weak character, as could be seen from the fact that he sent Ling Tianqi to garrison the border of Yunguo, he had the same calculation as Xiao Tianqing at the beginning.

If it weren't for the fact that the result was beyond expectations, there was really no way to determine who would have killed the deer.

"Yes, let's talk about it."

"Erchen wants to marry Ling Guo." As soon as Xiao Tianqing's words came out, Nandi picked up the teacup and paused there in an instant, and after a long time, he asked tentatively: "Qing'er, are you serious, aren't you joking?" After all, this matter was unacceptable to the Southern Emperor for a while, and it was very common for the two countries to marry in ancient times to ensure peace, but when these words came out of Xiao Tianqing's mouth, he always felt that the meaning was absolutely unusual.

Nandi couldn't guess what his intentions were for a while, so it was better to ask directly and see how he answered.

Facing Nandi's questioning, Xiao Tianqing's gaze did not dodge at all, and directly met Nandi's gaze. "It's not a joke, Erchen is thoughtful."

"However, this is your life's work, you have to think about it before you make a decision." Nandi still disagreed, after all, it was a marriage, if he married a woman he didn't love, he would be hurt in the end. Nandi had already lost his life, and he didn't want his son to follow his old path and repeat the mistakes of the past.

"Father, is the lifelong event of the son-in-law important, or is the century-old foundation of the southern kingdom important?" In such a sentence, all the words that Nandi wanted to say next were blocked in his mouth, Nanguo is important or he is important, isn't the answer about to come out. Back then, he gave up everything for the sake of the southern country, including the woman he loved. Now when he mentions this sentence again, his answer is the same as his father's answer at that time, "The world is important to the community, and the individual is light." ”

Xiao Tianqing's expression did not change, as if he had already expected the answer, "In this case, compared with the century-old foundation of the Southern Kingdom, the lifelong event of Erchen is naturally nothing. Xiao Tianqing said very naturally, but Nandi stopped in his ears, and always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had done something unforgivable.

"However, my father heard that Emperor Ling's knees are all princes, and the youngest son is more than twenty years old, and you are the only prince under his father's knees. Where does the marriage between the two countries begin? Seeing that he couldn't say Xiao Tianqing, Nandi had to give up, but his current wording was indeed telling the truth.

"Not necessarily, marrying Ling Guo is just a strategy. As long as Emperor Ling has this heart, it is not a problem if he has a woman under his knees or not. All he wanted was an excuse that he couldn't go to war against the South. Xiao Tianqing's eyebrows were clear, and his words were also orderly, and at that moment, Nandi suddenly understood Xiao Tianqing's intentions.

There was only one reason needed to restrain Emperor Ling's ambitions, even if he wanted to do something, but he couldn't.

In this way, he would be able to gain time for the southern kingdom, and according to the current situation, it was impossible for Emperor Ling not to agree to the southern kingdom's request for marriage.

In this way, this is a good plan, but the price to be paid is really too great. He didn't want to exchange the happiness of his only son's life for the future of Nanguo, but at the same time, he couldn't change Xiao Tianqing's attitude, he could only choose to compromise.

This is the helplessness of the Southern Emperor Xiao Tianning, so no matter what Xiao Tianqing does, he has no reason to stop it.
