I am the master of this world

Chapter 203 Make a Marriage

"Master Xiao wants to see me?"

Shen Ning was drinking tea. When he heard that Xiao Zhan wanted to see him, he was a little surprised.

In fact, Shen Ning didn't want to see Xiao Zhan, he was the servant of the sect with a lot of authority, if news of seeing him got out, it might have bad influence.Furthermore, Xiao Zhan is very scheming, and definitely belongs to the level of an old fox. Although he disguised himself very well, wouldn't it be troublesome if something was spotted?
At this time, Xiao Rui said: "My father thanks you for your good plan, so naturally I have to thank you in person."

Shen Ning nodded, it was inconvenient to refuse at this time, so he followed Xiao Rui to the study.

The study room is very spacious and bright, with a lot of books and swords. It seems that Master Xiao has both civil and military skills.

"Humble Shen Ning, pay homage to Master Xiao." Shen Ning stopped under the hall and bowed his hands.

Xiao Zhan got up and said with a smile: "General Shen is not polite, we are meeting in a private capacity today, there is no official position, please sit down."

The three of them divided the guest of honor and sat down.

The servant served tea and retreated, Xiao Zhan looked at Shen Ning, and said with emotion: "Nephew Shen Xian is a good-looking talent, and he is both civil and military. No wonder he can be trusted by His Majesty, so he can serve as the Deputy Commander of Tianlongwei. To be able to guard the imperial palace and protect His Majesty's safety, this is a great talent." It is a heavy responsibility, and it is His Majesty's holy family!"

"Thanks to Master Xiao's attention, I am honored to be favored by Your Majesty, so I will naturally serve Your Majesty and the imperial court." Shen Ning replied.

Xiao Zhan nodded and asked, "How is your father's health?"

Shen Ning was shocked when he heard it.

Could it be that Xiao Zhan knew the head of the Shen family?

Fortunately, Li Ru asked Shen Ning to pretend to be his nephew and told Shen Ning the situation of the Shen family in detail, so he would not be confused by the questions.

"My father has been recuperating these years, and he is still in good health. Master Xiao knows my father?" Shen Ning asked.

Xiao Zhan nodded and said: "Of course, I was the governor of Youzhou and stayed in Youzhou for a few years. Naturally, I had to deal with the local families at that time. Your father was brave and loyal when he was young and led people to resist foreigners. Unfortunately, he was injured. , the Jin Dynasty lost a loyal and brave general!"

"Lord Xiao praised it. If my father knew that Master Xiao praised him so much, he would be very happy." Shen Ning replied.

Xiao Zhan laughed heartily and said, "I'm not flattering you. Your father was indeed fierce back then. As the saying goes, like father, like son, he will be happy to have such an outstanding son like you."

Shen Ning smiled.

At this time, Xiao Zhan stood up, walked to the Bogu stand aside, and picked up a strong bow.

"Thank you for making suggestions for Xiao Rui. To thank you, this bow is given to you as a gift. Please accept it!" Xiao Zhan said.

When Shen Ning saw this bow, he knew it was a good bow, so he naturally declined: "Master Xiao must not do it, I just mentioned it casually, how dare you accept such a precious gift?"

"You're welcome, no matter how good the bow is, it will only be valuable in the hands of the right person. Take it, this is my wish." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

Xiao Rui also said: "That's right, brother Shen, take it."

Shen Ning had no choice but to accept it, and said: "Then I will be disrespectful."

This bow looked good at first glance, Shen Ning tried to pull it, but it was a bit laborious, and after asking, he found out that it turned out to be a strong bow with four stones.

Shen Ning became interested, exerted enough energy, and immediately opened the full moon.

"Good!" Xiao Rui praised.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan suddenly froze, staring blankly at Shen Ning.

Shen Ning loosened the bowstring, and the tight bowstring bounced back, making a crisp and clean sound.

"It's really a good bow, but it's a pity that my martial arts skills are still inexperienced. Only when my cultivation is higher and my strength is improved can I display its true power!" Shen Ning couldn't put it down.

Xiao Zhan had already recovered, and nodded with a smile.

Next, Xiao Zhan didn't stay with the two of them for long, and said, "Rui'er, take good care of Mr. Shen."

Xiao Rui responded, and took Shen Ning out of the study.

It was already dusk when Shen Ning came out of Xiao's residence.

He got on his horse and prepared to go to the eldest princess's mansion to have a look. He had not seen his mother for many days and missed her very much.

When they arrived outside the princess's mansion, Yunzhi had sent away the Dihu Guards at the back door and quietly took Shen Ning into the mansion.

At this time Sima Qing was chatting with Ji Yue Qingyi.

Seeing Shen Ning coming in, Ji Yue Qingyi happily stepped forward to greet her, and shouted, "Brother Ning!"

Shen Ning rubbed her forehead, this was an intimate gesture between the two, and it was a habit developed by childhood sweethearts over the years.

Sima Qing looked at this scene with a smile, her eyes were full of emotion, she didn't know what to think.

Afterwards, Shen Ning stepped forward and said: "The child is visiting the mother. I have not come to pay my respects during this period of time. Please forgive me."

Sima Qing smiled and said: "I know you are busy. You have just guarded the palace. This is a big deal, so you must not relax. I am very happy to have Qingyi accompanying me."

Shen Ning nodded.

But Ji Yue Qingyi snorted: "Brother Ning, you are taking a rest today, why are you here now?"

Shen Ning then explained: "Xiao Rui has invited me to banquets many times, so I went to the Xiao Mansion."

Hearing this, Sima Qing frowned, and asked, "Son, have you forgotten the deep blood feud of the Shen family?"

"Haier has not forgotten that he approached Xiao Rui just to make better use of him so that he can get revenge in the future." Shen Ning explained.

Sima Qing nodded and said, "It's good that you haven't forgotten. I've heard that Xiao Rui, the eldest son of the Xiao family, is peaceful and courteous. You are about the same age as him, and it's normal for you to share similar interests. But fate is so unfair, making you enemies , not friends."

"Don't worry, mother, the child will keep it in your heart." Shen Ning responded.

Sima Qing did not continue to warn, but asked: "What happened when you arrived at Xiao's house?"

Shen Ning then told what happened at Xiao's house.

After hearing this, Sima Qing suddenly had a look of joy on her face, and said, "You deserve it! You deserve it!"

Shen Ning knew the pain in her mother's heart, so she didn't say anything.

Then, Sima Qing asked: "During this time guarding the palace, can you think of a way to deal with the Yang family?"

Shen Ning told her about Zuixian San.

"In order to make Concubine Yan compete for favor, the Yang family actually made this bad move. It's a godsend opportunity!" Sima Qing was overjoyed and agreed with Shen Ning's opinion very much.

"Mother, I plan to implement this matter through Princess Changle. I want to use Yang Jian, so Princess Changle." Shen Ning expressed his concerns.

Sima Qing immediately said: "Don't worry, I'll comfort Princess Changle and make sure nothing bad happens to her."

"I don't worry if my mother comes forward." Shen Ning nodded.

Afterwards, after chatting for a long time, seeing Sima Qing's sleepy face, Shen Ning bid farewell and left.

After Ji Yue Qingyi sent Shen Ning away, she was called over by Sima Qing.

"Mother, I wonder why you are looking for your daughter?" Ji Yue Qingyi asked curiously.

Sima Qing waved her hand and asked Ji Yue Qingyi to sit next to her, then took her hand and said, "Qingyi, my mother wants to arrange a marriage for you. I wonder if you are willing?"

Ji Yue Qingyi blushed and said shyly, "Okay! It's up to mother to decide."

Looking at her goddaughter's expression, Sima Qing naturally knew what was on her mind, but she didn't say much.
