Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 245 Reunion

After a while, Xiao Lingnan wrote a letter again, saying, "The reason why the previous dynasty was destroyed was that the warlords in various places held heavy armies and refused to listen to their calls. Today, the unification is the main reason. In order to ensure eternal peace, it is right that all armies should be under the direct control of the imperial court." .Not only did she submit a letter, but she also took the initiative to return the military power held by Dingnan Palace.

Emperor Taizu, Long Yan Dayue, praised Xiao Lingnan in front of the officials in the court hall, "Xiao Lingnan understands the general situation, and is a loyal minister of the country", and then granted Xiao Lingnan's Dingnan throne hereditary replacement, and retired with the country.

So far, Xiao Lingnan has become the leader of the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and has great influence in the court.

Now, King Dingnan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the middle-aged man opposite, but his eyes were softer: "Xing Rong, you also saw the attitude of the eldest princess' mother in the mansion just now, I don't think the marriage proposal this time may be successful. "

The middle-aged man disagreed: "The orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, it is the emperor, the empress dowager, and the queen mother who can really decide the marriage. Even if the eldest princess and her mother have opinions, they must obey them. Since the emperor has already spoken , 'The eldest princess is a disciple of the Goddess Palace, and she is not allowed to marry a prince or minister. My Li family has a chance.

One is that my father is a hero who founded the country, he holds the title of Uncle Zhu Yang, and his status is quite honorable; the other is that my family is far away from the imperial court, and has become a martial arts family, which meets the requirements for marriage.If the eldest princess marries into my family, she will be considered a good match. "

"According to what you said, the other four of your Gyeonggi Five Families are also very suitable." Xiao Lingnan was noncommittal.

"So I ask Ling Nan to help me." The middle-aged man called "Ling Nan" kindly.

Xiao Lingnan sighed softly: "Although I have a good relationship with the empress dowager, after all, meddling in the royal family's marriage and involving martial arts sects is a taboo of the court, and I have to be cautious, and I can only do my best. Besides, After all, the princess was born in martial arts. You should know that people in martial arts like to do things rashly. I heard rumors in the palace that the eldest princess has a stubborn personality and already has someone she likes. She had conflicts with the empress dowager many times in the palace because of marriage. Don't get your hopes up too much!"

"Oh?!" The middle-aged man was very surprised when he heard this for the first time, and asked anxiously, "Who is the eldest princess' favorite?"

"How would I know, but the eldest princess just came to the capital, so she can only be an old friend from Bashu." Xiao Lingnan said in a confident voice, "For example, the young head of the Xiaoyao Sect that I saw just now, as far as I know, the Goddess Palace This mansion rarely receives men, and the eunuch accompanied by the eldest princess went to pick him up in person, and the eunuch was obviously lying when he talked to me."

"Xue Chang from Bashu Xiaoyao Sect..." The middle-aged man murmured the name thoughtfully in a low voice.

Suddenly I heard Xiao Lingnan say quietly: "Xingrong, you haven't come to see me for decades, and it was a rare visit yesterday. I didn't expect you to do it for your son..."

The middle-aged man felt ashamed, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "The dog is stubborn, and he can't succeed in literature or martial arts. If he can become a son-in-law, he can keep his life safe..."

"Being a son-in-law might as well let me send him to the military camp and beat him for a few years, maybe he will become a talent."

"The dog should not be able to bear that pain."

"A loving father is a loser, okay, I was the one who was sorry for you more than 20 years ago, so I will try my best to help you this time." Xiao Lingnan looked up at the roof of the carriage and said in a deep voice.

"Ling Nan, what counts is what counts. It wasn't your fault that you canceled your marriage more than 20 years ago. No one would have expected that the emperor would let you inherit the throne. If it weren't for..." The middle-aged man said a little excitedly: "If It's not that I'm the only child in the family, my father doesn't allow me to marry into your family, maybe today, I don't have to worry about the child's affairs..."

"Okay." Xiao Lingnan's expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of melancholy in his tone: "Let the past be over..."

........................................................................

"Please go and tell the eldest princess that Master Xue of the Xiaoyao Sect has arrived." Liu Yong said to the maid who opened the door to send Dingnan Wang and the two out.

The maid looked at Xue Chang's master and apprentice curiously, and then said: "Please wait a moment, honored guest." She turned around and entered the courtyard, closing the door behind her.

Several apprentices stared at the wooden door without blinking, looking forward to the moment when they would see their future mistress, but out of the corner of their eyes, they suddenly caught a glimpse of a pink shadow flying across the courtyard wall, heading straight for Xue Chang.

Xu Xi and the others were shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Master, be careful!"

Xue Chang could see it clearly, he stood still, and instead opened his arms, his arms were filled with warmth and fragrance in an instant, and what appeared in front of his eyes was a beautiful face that was both angry and happy, and there was a bit of complaint in his extremely joyful voice : "Xue Lang, you are finally here!"

Seeing Luo Lanmeng in his arms, all the uneasiness and doubts in Xue Chang's heart were swept away, and he responded guiltily: "Bashu is too far away from the capital, I came late!"

"The martial arts competition will start more than ten days later. If it wasn't for me, Xue Lang, how could you come so early." Luo Lanmeng took the initiative to defend him, and then looked at Xu Xi and the others: "They are Xue Lang, you Apprentice?"

Under the eyes of his apprentices, no matter how thick-skinned Xue Chang was, he was too embarrassed to continue hugging Luo Lanmeng. Even though it felt so wonderful, he could only let go of his embrace and said, "That's right, they were the first ones I accepted. Some of my apprentices, Lanmeng, let me introduce you."

"Okay." Luo Lanmeng smiled sweetly, grabbed Xue Chang's right hand tightly with her left hand, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, even though Liu Yong coughed several times, she didn't respond.

"He is my first apprentice, named Xu Xi, not only very talented in martial arts, but also a good assistant to me in managing the affairs of the sect." Xue Chang pointed to Xu Xi and introduced him seriously.

Among Xue Chang's disciples, Xu Xi has always been calm and restrained, but facing Luo Lanmeng, who is beautiful and beautiful, he also feels reserved, and stammered a bit: "Xiaoyao faction... the eldest disciple Xu Xi pays homage to the elder—" Xu Xi hadn't finished speaking, but seeing Luo Lanmeng's eyebrows frowning slightly, he immediately changed his words and said, "Nvxia Luo!"

"Bold!" Liu Yong immediately scolded when he heard this, but was reprimanded by Luo Lanmeng: "Liu Yong, shut up! If you interrupt indiscriminately again, don't stay in Yaohua Palace!"

Liu Yong had no choice but to bow his head obediently and stand there.

Xue Chang was slightly surprised. In his impression, Luo Lanmeng would not speak so forcefully. It seems that the life of the eldest princess for more than half a year still has a lot of influence on her.

When Luo Lanmeng looked at Xue Chang, she still smiled sweetly: "Xue Lang, your apprentice is very clever, and I like to be called a heroine."

Xue Chang understood some of Luo Lanmeng's thoughts again, pointed to Fan Mastiff and said, "This is my second apprentice Fan Mastiff, who is good at swordsmanship. Don't look at his simple and honest appearance, he is actually very glib."

"Master." Fan Mastiff said with an aggrieved face: "How can you expose the shortcomings of the disciple in front of the teacher's wife!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was taken aback, even Xue Chang felt a little inappropriate, and Liu Yong's eyes widened, but thinking of what Luo Lanmeng said just now, his face was flushed, but he insisted on not saying anything. speak out.

Only Luo Lanmeng, although her delicate dimples were blushing, she pursed her lips and smiled, saying: "Xue Lang, your apprentice is quite glib." But there was no trace of blame in her words.

Fan Mastiff heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a little proud in his heart: Sure enough, Master Mistress likes to hear this.

At the same time, Xue Chang felt his right hand was suddenly clenched by Luo Lanmeng. He turned his head and saw that he was meeting Yi Ren's shy and expectant eyes, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.He immediately came back to his senses, lowered his voice, pointed to Hu Qiudi and said, "This is my third apprentice, Hu Qiudi, who is good at swordsmanship. Although she is a woman, she is capable and quite manly."

Since Fan Mastiff had opened the way ahead, Hu Qiudi said directly: "Disciple Hu Qiudi pays respects to Master!"

"Good! Good!" Luo Lanmeng smiled happily, looked at Hu Qiudi, and encouraged: "Just now I sent away a queen who is called a heroine in the army, I hope you can be like her in the future and become famous all over the world! "

"I will, thank you, Mrs. Hu!" Hu Qiudi responded without humility.

"This one is my four apprentices, and also my younger sister Xue Yuting."

As soon as Xue Chang finished speaking, Xue Yuting couldn't wait to step forward and said admiringly, "Sister-in-law, you look so good-looking, like a fairy! It would be great if my brother could marry you!"

These words made Luo Lanmeng very happy, she stepped forward and took Xue Yuting's hands, looked at her and praised: "Sister, you are also very good-looking, and you will look even better when you grow up."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask your brother."

When the two looked at Xue Chang in unison, Xue Chang could only nod, then quickly pointed to Xue Wu and said, "This is my five apprentice Xue Wu. He is simple in nature and practical in his work."

Facing Luo Lanmeng's dizzy eyes like pearls, Xue Wu was so nervous that his teeth chattered up and down: "Brother...disciple...Xue...Xue Wu...greeting...mother..." He spent a lot of time. It took a long time to finish speaking, and I lowered my head in shame.

Xue Chang immediately smoothed things over for him: "Don't look at Xiao Wu's introverted and shy nature, he has excellent bones. When he visited the Shaolin Temple before, the senior monks in Shaolin rushed to accept him as a disciple."

"Oh? That's really good." Luo Lanmeng responded with a smile, but there was still a hint of doubt in her words.

"Sister-in-law, it's true!" Xue Yuting interjected: "The emperor named Huitong in Shaolin Temple forced Xiao Wu to stay, and the master even fought with him, and finally defeated him, so the monks in Shaolin Temple released him." We leave-"

"Can you defeat Huitong?!" A familiar voice came from behind Xue Chang.

Xue Chang looked back and saw that it was Elder Zhou Wanyao from the Goddess Palace standing at the door, looking at him with complicated eyes, he hurriedly wanted to go forward to greet him, completely forgetting that his hand was still being held by Luo Lanmeng.

"Meng'er, how long are you going to grab someone's hand! Don't let go!" Zhou Wanyao saw it and reprimanded him softly.
