Chapter 431: A Trace of Helplessness
Liu Dui stood there with a gloomy expression and did not speak, which quickly attracted the attention of Dayuan Guozhu and Liu Kaiyuan, and the two of them turned their heads to look at him at the same time, but they couldn't guess what Liu Dui was thinking.
The hall was silent for a while, no one spoke, and Liu Dui's face appeared with joy for a while, and then it was full of sadness, obviously struggling with something in his heart.
The old master of Liu couldn't stand it, so he had to cough and say, "Grandpa wants to hear what you mean!"
Liu Kaiyuan is such a precious grandson under his knees, so he usually discusses with him about anything, and gradually develops Liu Duan's calm and hands-on character.
Before, when he heard that the royal family wanted to marry, this old man was also moved, but when he thought of Zhang Hao's terrifying strength, this little thought in his heart was dispelled.
The reason why he pushed this hot potato to his precious grandson, Liu Kaiyuan was actually a little unwilling.
However, according to the friendship between Liu Du and Zhang Hao, even if there is any dissatisfaction with the royal family, I am afraid that it will be somewhat restrained in Liu Dui's face.
"I disagree!"
When Liu Du heard his grandfather's inquiry, the tangled look on his face instantly receded, and his eyes became extremely firm, as if he had seen through the trick of the Great Yuan Lord, and sneered: "I'm not your pawn, I hope this kind of thing will not be mentioned again in the future!"
After Yuan Sicheng heard this, his hands instantly clenched, and his ten knuckles gurgled.
personally proposed this marriage in his capacity, but he didn't expect to be rejected by Liu Dui. At this moment, he couldn't help but shoot the case and come to ask the guilt.
But thinking of the current situation of the royal family, Yuan Sicheng had no choice but to temporarily suppress the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew is too worried, I am just here to convey Qingluan's meaning, if the virtuous nephew does not agree, then this matter has never been mentioned!"
"What does Qingluan mean?"
The corners of Liu Dui's eyes twitched slightly, and then she couldn't help but ask. In fact, he had a crush on Qingluan, otherwise, he would not have been deceived by Zhang Hao's words in the Iron Desert Wasteland to go out desperately.
But Qingluan has always been very indifferent to him, and sometimes even treats him like a stranger, which makes the eldest young master of the Liu family very entangled in his heart.
Now he suddenly heard such a sentence, it would be false to say that he was not tempted, but he quickly calmed down again, and asked with a puzzled expression: "I don't know what Princess Qingluan said, hey, it can't be that she is also secretly in love with me, right?"
If another person had said such frivolous words, Yuan Sicheng would have been slapped in the face.
But in the face of Liu Dui, he could only endure it for the time being, and slowly exhaled and said: "The virtuous nephew said that he was laughing, how could a girl say such a thing!"
Hearing this, Liu Dui raised his eyebrows, obviously expecting this answer, but he was not in a hurry.
Sure enough, Yuan Sicheng saw that he didn't ask, so he had to continue to speak: "I can also see from her words and demeanor that she has always had a good impression of the virtuous nephew in her heart, but because of the girl's face, it is not easy to speak in person!"
"Hey......
Liu Duan let out that sneer again, but he didn't continue to ask anything, but turned his head to look at Liu Kaiyuan, and sighed: "Grandpa, you should know this matter in your heart, so you don't need your grandson to make it clear!"
Of course, Liu Kaiyuan knew what he was afraid of, so he had to sigh and stand up: "Some things are not something you and I can control, no matter what decision you make, grandpa will support you!"
The old man's words have already made it clear that the marriage is all in Liu Dui's thoughts, and as for the consequences, he doesn't have to worry about it, and the Liu family is not vulnerable.
Seeing this, Yuan Sicheng snorted heavily in his heart, today can be said to have lost face, if he wasn't afraid of Zhang Hao's revenge, he would have left long ago.
Liu Du shook his head helplessly, took his eyes off the old man, looked at the blue sky outside the hall, and said softly, "I want to meet Qingluan, is it okay?"
His words seemed to be said to Yuan Sicheng, and he seemed to be talking to himself, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he turned around and left.
Yuan Sicheng snorted heavily in his heart, but after thinking about it, he put his mind at ease, since Liu Duan wanted to see Qingluan, it proved that things still had a turnaround.
Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry to go back, turned around and returned to his seat, chatting with Liu Kaiyuan with a smile.
But until the sun went west, and Zhang Hao was nowhere to be seen, the lord of the Great Yuan Kingdom began to think crankily again, could it be that the Daoist Elder Wang led the other party out of the imperial capital and killed him, or they fought to defeat both sides......
Just as various thoughts were spinning in his heart, a subordinate hurriedly walked in and bowed to Liu Kaiyuan: "Old man, the person you said is back!"
"Take the old man quickly!"
Hearing this, the old master of the Liu family immediately stood up and took the lead in walking out. Yuan Sicheng hesitated slightly, but still didn't dare to follow.
He couldn't tell what Zhang Hao was thinking now, so he didn't dare to go to visit rashly, and if he accidentally caused the other party to be angry, the consequences might not be easy.
"Old man......"
But the subordinate showed a look of embarrassment on his face, standing in the living room without moving his steps, Liu Kaiyuan also noticed it at this time, and frowned slightly: "Say something quickly!"
He said...... Except for the young master, I won't see anyone from the Liu family again!"
The face of the subordinate changed unpredictably, and Ai Ai said a word, and then peeked at the old man in front of him, quietly waiting for a response.
After a long time, Liu Kaiyuan exhaled, waved his hand helplessly, and said, "I know about this matter, go down!"
Obviously, what happened last night has made Zhang Hao feel a mustard in his heart, and the reason why he can still come back here is also for the sake of Liu Dui's friend's face.
After hearing the words of the subordinate, Yuan Sicheng suddenly understood what was going on in his heart, and quietly picked up a cup of tea on his face, but he was thinking about how to get closer to Liu Dui.
Liu Kaiyuan didn't have the heart to pay attention to what the Great Yuan Lord was thinking now, and he didn't mention it anymore except for instructing his subordinates to take care of Zhang Hao.
Seeing this, Yuan Sicheng knew that the other party had given an eviction order, smiled and talked for a few words, and then left Liufu.
Not long after he left, Twilight returned home with a man.
The man was covered in a gray cloak, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but the faint fragrance coming from under the cloak was sure that it was a woman.
"Young master, Brother Zhang Hao has been waiting in your room for a while!"
Liu Dui, who had just walked into the mansion, saw Mu Donghai greeted him with an anxious expression.
Hearing this, Liu Dui's eyes lit up slightly, nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the small courtyard where he lived.
The man who followed him remained silent.
Mu Donghai's eyes swept over this person, his nose moved slightly, and he had already guessed the identity of the other party.
However, he still stopped the other party with his words, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhang Hao said, I only saw our young master alone!"
"Uncle Mu, I'll deal with something!"
Liu Dui, who was walking in front, stopped when he heard these words, gritted his teeth, and said in a solemn tone.
Seeing this, Mu Donghai had no choice but to nod and let this person enter the small courtyard where Liu Du lived.
After Zhang Hao quietly returned to Liufu, he went straight to Liu Dui's bedroom, and instructed his subordinates to get some clean water and clean the scorched black on his body, and then took out a shirt from the ring and put it back on.
Remembering the terrifying expression on his face when the subordinate saw him just now, he shook his head slightly.
"Knock knock!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Zhang Hao sat there and scolded with a smile: "When did you kid learn to be so polite, get in!"
The door opened, and Liu Duan hurriedly walked in, and was relieved to see that Zhang Hao was safe and sound: "I thought you were injured!"
Just now he heard that Zhang Hao didn't see anyone except himself after he came back, and he vaguely guessed in his heart that it was because his grandfather looked forward and backward last night, which made the other party feel guilty.
But it's not easy to find out this kind of thing, so I found such an excuse.
"Let the guy outside come in too!"
But Zhang Hao didn't pay attention to the other party's ridicule, but stayed at the door and sneered.
Although he didn't know who that person was yet, Liu Duming knew that he didn't want to see outsiders and brought him over, and the relationship between this person and him was definitely not ordinary.
It's just that after last night's incident, Zhang Hao is even more disdainful of the way these big families do things, and he also has a trace of indifference when he speaks.
Seeing this, Liu Dui looked slightly stunned, but he still turned around and brought the person in from outside the door.
The moment the person walked into the room, the cloak that shrouded her head was gently pulled down by her.
"Qingluan, why are you?"
Seeing that the person who appeared in front of him was actually the extremely rude girl in the image, Zhang Hao felt a faint pain in his head.
But Qingluan actually stood there silently, without the slightest appearance of being rude and willful when they first met, but with a touch of sadness on his face.
"Ahem, you guys talk slowly, I'll go out first!"
At this time, Liu Dui coughed dryly, hurriedly turned around and walked out.
When he proposed to see Qingluan, he was still a little hesitant in his heart, but when he saw this girl and saw that the girl who was once lively and cheerful and rude and willful had become the taciturn appearance she is now, the hesitation in his heart became firm.
Even though he knew that Zhang Hao didn't want to see anyone related to the royal family now, he still took the risk and brought Qingluan over.
Exiting the room, Liu Du let out a long sigh and glanced at Mu Donghai, and the two immediately left the place in a hurry.
It seems that he is looking for someone's bad luck.
"Sit down!"
Looking at Qingluan, who was standing there without saying a word, Zhang Hao's brows furrowed slightly, and his tone eased slightly.
Anyway, the girl in front of him had pleaded for the matter of wanting him, and he couldn't blow people out at this point.
Qingluan seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally sat down on the chair next to him according to his words, a pair of jade hands tightly grasped the placket of his clothes, gritted his teeth, and suddenly said, "Can you do something?"
"You're trying to let me go...... Your dad?"
His eyebrows lifted slightly, but Zhang Hao showed a mocking smile on his face. Once upon a time, who wanted to let themselves go? If it weren't for the strong strength shown in this visit to the imperial capital, I am afraid that the wanted notice would still be plastered all over the streets and alleys.
"It's not!"
However, to his surprise, Qingluan shook his head slightly, and said with a sad expression: "I just want you to think about it for the ordinary people of this country, once the current royal family is shaken, then they will ......"
Speaking of this, Qingluan did not continue to speak, but stared at him with a pair of eyes.
In fact, as long as you think about it a little, you will understand that the Great Yuan Kingdom has always been eyeing other countries, and those countries are not good, once they get the news of Yuan Sicheng's death, I am afraid that they will immediately wave their troops to the south and go straight to the imperial capital.
At that time, it will be those ordinary people who will suffer.
But let Zhang Hao let Yuan Sicheng go like this, and he was unwilling in his heart.
Just when he was hesitating in his heart, Qingluan threw out another sentence: "In order to keep the throne, my father did not hesitate to use my marriage as a bargaining chip, in fact, living in the royal family, I should have expected such a day, but what should I do?"
Facing Qingluan's slightly questioning tone, Zhang Hao's brows furrowed deeply. Yuan Sicheng actually used this kind of thing as a bargaining chip to keep his throne?
At this moment, in addition to the killing intent, there was also a trace of helplessness in his heart......
