Jumang can't break through the forest barrier, can't go to the volcano, can only wait here. Seeing Xia Xiao coming back in rags, he hurriedly asked:

"How?"

"It's a deer dog, I don't know the name, I don't have a small temper, and I taught him a lesson. ”

"Such a lesson?"

"Spanking. ”

"You're not afraid he'll hold a grudge, but I remember everything clearly. ”

"It's okay, it's not heavy. ”

Ju Mang couldn't help but laugh.

"Fortunately, I was obedient when I was a child, otherwise I would have been beaten by you. ”

"I'm not that domineering, he scolds people when he opens his mouth now, what will I do in the future?"

"Yo, what about being a son?"

"Now a son, then a brother, just like you. ”

"you. ”

Rubbing his right hand, Xia Xiao had hurt his hands before. The fawn dog's skin is extremely hot, and it is estimated that he will grow up to be a real vicious dog in the future.

"Let's go first. ”

Sentence after sentence, Xia Xiao disappeared.

In the carriage, Xia Xiao's robe was complete, and he exhaled a long breath at this time, attracting the eyes of Shu Shuang and Huiyue.

"Afternoon?"

Looking out the car window, the sun is warm and the flowers are in full bloom, which is really a good scenery. After this huge grassland, it is close to the imperial capital.

"Xia Xiao. ”

Shu Shuang's voice was a little embarrassed, and Xia Xiao followed her gaze to look at Huiyue, who was looking at her.

"What's wrong?"

"Shu Shuang told me everything. ”

Shu Shuang pulled Xia Xiao's sleeve, a little self-reproachful. She didn't want to say it, but when the carriage stopped, several coachmen talked a few words, although it was only a few ordinary conversations, but they were related to last night. After that, Huiyue kept asking, Shu Shuang couldn't consume it, and she was afraid of disturbing Xia Xiao, so she told her.

The injuries on Huiyue's little face were still there, and Xiu grabbed the corners of her clothes with her hands, frowning.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because you're not well. ”

"......"

"The matter is not as serious as you think, since the master has appeared, no one dares to provoke us, this time is different from the last time!"

Hui Yuexiu clenched her fists, and when she saw Xia Xiao averting her gaze, she hurriedly said:

"Xia Xiao, I don't want to be your resistance. ”

"Don't think about it. ”

After Xia Xiao finished speaking, he fell silent. Huiyue has done enough, and the next thing is still up to him.

"After arriving in the imperial capital, there will naturally be someone to take care of you. ”

"Who?"

"It's coming. ”

Huiyue felt inexplicable, but looked at the car door with Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang's eyes. It slammed open and shut, taking less than a second before someone had already entered.

This is a middle-aged man, with strong sword eyebrows and a chivalrous style. He sat down against the car door and handed out two red flowers. The flowers are freshly picked, delicate and delicate, with bursts of floral fragrance. Even if the man was so fast before, he didn't drop half a leaf petal.

"I picked it on the road and gave it to the two girls. ”

Huiyue was a little surprised, and Shu Shuang took it and said:

"Thank you. ”

Shu Shuang sat next to Huiyue, who leaned into her ear and asked softly:

"Who is this?"

"I don't know. ”

People Shu Shuang doesn't know, Xia Xiao definitely doesn't know each other, after all, there is still a big age difference. But Xia Xiao could guess who he was, and asked bluntly:

"There is a mission on the Holy Side?"

The man smiled heartily and exclaimed:

"The third young master is worthy of being a person who came from afar, and he is really smart. ”

This kind of sycophant can't be taken seriously, but since he is a saint, Xia Xiao still has to be respectful. And this title, no one has called it for a long time.

"Seniors are polite. ”

With a movement of his eyes, the window behind Xia Xiao was being knocked on. When the man heard this, he raised his eyebrows and leaned against the side of the window. This kind of speed made Xia Xiao secretly recognize that his strength was good, at least he was in the Honorable Realm.

Opening the window, it was Chuan Lian, a teacher of Ning Theological Seminary on horseback. For the latter, Xia Xiao was more respectful and asked:

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Chuan Lian looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he asked in a low voice:

"I saw someone come in before, are you okay?"

As he spoke, Chuan Lian glanced into the carriage.

"Thank you for your concern. ”

Xia Xiao opened his body to the side, so that his vision was unobstructed, and then when he looked at each other, he signaled that it was okay.

Closing the window again, Xia Xiao said:

"Say it, otherwise you will be discovered by Ji Buwen in a while. ”

The man nodded and said:

"My name is Fei Lian, the Holy Messenger, and I want to tell you two things on this trip. First, the Holy Lord hopes that you will be presumptuous above the court and connect the Zhu family and the Guolaoyuan together, and it is best to talk about this incident as well. Second, about your marriage, the Holy One would like to ask your opinion?"

"Marriage?"

The first thing Xia Xiao still understands, the saint wants to weaken the power of the House of Elders in order to consolidate his rule. The struggle between the political parties in the DPRK and China has only been covered with a layer of paper, and many people have seen it thoroughly, but they have never spoken, but someone has to pierce it. It is better for this person to be outside of the two sides and have a high status. At present, Xia Xiao is very suitable, but what does marriage mean?

"The third young master has not forgotten Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Xia Xiao was stunned, there was only one princess in the Great Xia Dynasty, named Ji Yunying, the saint's own sister. This year, I want to be the same age as myself, but there is a relationship between them?

"What's wrong with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"The third young master is really a noble man who forgets things, but he has forgotten the marriage book. ”

Xia Xiao's first reaction was to look at Shu Shuang, and his face was sincere when his eyes were flustered. He hadn't even seen that Yunyun lingering, how could he still have a marriage certificate? Such a bloody plot, could it happen to himself and Shu Shuang?

Shu Shuang didn't know what was going on, although she trusted Xia Xiao, the light in her eyes was still dim for a moment.

Turning his head, Xia Xiao asked Fei Lian.

"When?"

"Did the third young master really forget?"

Seeing Xia Xiao frowning upset, Fei Lian continued:

"Four years ago, you regained your sanity with a vision of heaven and earth, and you had a person who came from afar. After that, countless generals came to get engaged, and at that time, the court and the people discussed it and decided to marry the princess to you. ”

"Didn't the marriage contract be completely ruined after I left the imperial capital?"

Xia Xiao still remembered that his dream of three wives and four concubines was broken at that time. Now that I meet Shu Shuang, engraved with the extreme barren pattern of day and night, I dare not think about it.

"The princess is unwilling, saying in black and red, the marriage contract has been decided, and she doesn't want to wet a few more faint crows on the new edict, so she has been waiting for you to come back. ”

"And this?"

Xia Xiao was stunned, his face full of incredulity. After leaving the imperial capital for two years, how come no one has ever told him?

"The third young master is so blessed. ”

Fei Lian looked at Shu Shuang Huiyue with a smile, causing Xia Xiao to scold angrily:

"I've got one soothing. ”

His eyes lit up, Shu Shuang was overjoyed, saw Xia Xiao turn sideways, and said politely to Fei Lian:

"Please go back and tell the saint, I will do my best to deal with the affairs of the old people's house, but on the princess's side, I hope the saint will forgive me. ”

"It seems that the third young master doesn't know the current situation of the princess. ”

"I've never seen it, of course I don't know. ”

"Everyone in the world knows that I have a handsome young saint in Daxia, but few people know about the princess, all because she is frail and sickly, lives in a shallow place, and does not see outsiders all year round. For so many years, only the servants of the Holy and the Imperial Match could see her. I heard that it is also as beautiful as a flower, a standard beauty embryo. ”

Xia Xiao's mouth slanted, revealing some resistance.

"So what?"

"The Holy Lord wants you to get ready to meet her after the final selection. ”

"What if you don't see it?"

When Fei Lian heard this, he smiled and said:

"If I were you, even if I made my little lady angry, I would have to meet him. Over the years, your Xia family has fallen into the valley abyss, and everyone wants to break off the relationship with you, and they don't dare to be implicated, but the princess has been waiting for two years. Aside from anything else, this blind trust alone is enough for you to be sincere. Two years is a short time in our lives, but for a princess, it may be the end of life. ”

"So sick?"

"The entire dynasty is helpless and has been shelved for eight years, does the third young master think it is serious?"

When Xia Xiao was silent, Shu Shuang sat beside him and whispered:

"Go ahead. ”

Xia Xiao frowned, he didn't like this, he felt weird. Falling in love with a stranger, or even talking about marriage, is always difficult to accept. Because he has experienced a lot, Xia Xiao attaches more importance to sincere feelings, and it is impossible to agree to him because of a few words from Fei Lian. After agreeing, there is no room for refusal. On the contrary, it is better to refuse first.

"Let's wait until the final selection is over, the Holy Lord will definitely want me to solve the trouble of the National Elder's House first. ”

Yes, smart enough!

Fei Lian sincerely admires it, whether Xia Xiao accepts it or not, it is better to put it aside. And what he admires even more is Xia Xiao's age.

He would certainly not be surprised if a twenty-year-old made such a decision, but Xia Xiao was younger than all the contestants who made it to the final competition, and he was still wise and calm.

"I will convey the words of the third young master to the Holy Lord, please rest assured. ”

"After waiting for the imperial capital, I have to trouble you with one more thing. ”

"Third Young Master, please speak. ”

"Please send someone to protect her. ”

Following Xia Xiao's gaze, Fei Lian looked at Huiyue. The latter, an ordinary commoner, bowed his head in front of the messenger of the Holy One.

"From the moment I stepped into the imperial capital, I won't let this young lady lose a single hair. ”

Fei Lian nodded slightly, signaling Xia Xiao to rest assured. Then, after the matter was finished, he left without any delay and disappeared into the plain.

Opening the window, Xia Xiao frowned and glanced in the direction where the carriage was going. Shu Shuang beside her didn't know how to tell Xia Xiao, in fact, she really didn't mind Xia Xiao going to find the princess, but admired Her Royal Highness the princess, since she insisted on waiting for Xia Xiao to come back, it was really touching.

Even if you stay at home and are thousands of miles away from Xia Xiao, do you still believe in him? If so, Shu Shuang must do better and believe in Xia Xiao even more!

After walking for half a day, I saw red flowers blooming on both sides of the road. These flowers are the same as those in Huiyue Shushuang's arms, all of them are half the size of a palm, crimson as blood, like a tribute to the dead.

Next to the convoy, there were red flowers, and there was a strange demonic beauty, which amazed the young man's cold eyes. He looked at the road and knew that the other end of the road was the imperial capital.

This kind of return is different from what Xia Xiao thought, it may be a little less momentum, but he really wants to go back. The city of longing is ahead!
