The Duke's Mansion of Xiangxi was located in the largest county in Rising Sun Country — Xiangxi County.

The so-called Xiang Xi didn't refer to a single city, but rather a large area that included several cities. Because it was located in the western part of the water, it was called Xiang Xi.

This piece of land was located downstream of the water. The land was flat and fertile, and was known as the Rising Sun Nation's grain producing county. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that 80% of the grain reserves in the Rising Sun Country came from the Western Region.

And the person who obtained this piece of fat and became rich to the point of being oily was the current Duke of Xiangxi — Yun Liu Chang.

Yun Liu was not the current emperor's blood brother, nor was he his cousin, much less had he fought in a war or achieved meritorious deeds for his country. To put it bluntly, this person had done nothing for his country and people.

Then why did he take the richest piece of land in the entire Rising Sun Country and put it under his name?

However, the gist of it was that Yun Liu's ancestors were the wealthiest people on the continent. When the people of the two continents fought a large-scale war over their territory, Yun Liu's ancestors had spent a large amount of money to support the people of the Eastern Continent in defeating the Western Continent, and had even used that money to support the Sun Ascension Kingdom's earliest generation of emperors to ascend to the throne.

In order to remember the great kindness of the Yun family, the first emperor of the Rising Sun Country immediately changed his surname to 'Yun' and gave the best piece of land to the Yun family that helped him call himself emperor. That piece of land was the earliest piece of land in Xiangxi County.

At the same time, he also left an imperial edict for his future descendants. No matter how many years it took, as long as the country rose, the Yun clan would not be allowed to do anything to the Yun clan. Furthermore, the Xiangxi County would always give the descendants of the Yun family a legacy.

All in all, in short, even though this Duke of Xiangxi had only received the title of duke, the rights he enjoyed and the rank of his robe and decorations were even higher than that of a prince.

The royal family gave the Duke of Xiangxi an ornament with six claws and a yellow dragon tattoo, but Yun Liu willingly wore only five claws, which made the Emperor naturally satisfied with the Yun Family of Xiangxi and gave them an imperial edict. In the future, all divisions of the Kingdom of Xiangxi must treat the Duke of Xiangxi with the etiquette of a prince.

The emperor had even said that not only would she be free to choose her husband, she would even be allowed to choose two county horses. In the history of the Rising Sun Nation, not even the Grand Princess had ever enjoyed such privileges before. This showed how much the Emperor valued the Yun Family.

Not to mention that in the future, once a person was chosen, they would be given the title of 'Princess', 'Princess Mansion', and so on.

That's why I have to take into consideration all the details. Why did our student Sen Luo only get a glance at the lantern festival last night before the entire Rising Sun Nation, and why so many people were looking for him?

One must know that Yun Liu only had a single daughter, who was held in the palm of her hand since she was young, who was a little afraid of dying. Furthermore, the mother of the young prefecture lord passed away too early, so she was naturally obedient to her one and only daughter.

Although I felt that this strange man I saw at the lanterns meet has neither official rank nor rank, and is possibly not a descendant of a noble family (because there is no one surnamed Sen in the Rising Sun Country) and doesn't seem to be worthy of sending my daughter off, seeing your daughter crying over and over again, even committing suicide and fleeing from home, as my father, how can I endure this?

Only then did they agree to search for this man called Sen Luo on the streets of the entire country. If it wasn't for that, they would have been searching for him for a year.

He finally got the news today.

To say that the person they had been searching for without a sound for a year was about to step into the territory under the jurisdiction of the Duke of Xiang Xi's estate, this news was like 'breaking iron and finding shoes without any effort'. The happiest person was naturally the young prefecture lord Yun Xiangyun.

Almost immediately, he changed into his riding boots and a horse skirt. As he spoke, he wished that he could rush to the city where Sen Luo and Leng Hong Xiu were staying.

Yun Liu couldn't stop them all, so he could only send two groups of men to follow Yun Xiangyun out.

The person who reported this news received a great reward. However, he didn't have the time to say that the incomparably handsome young master Sen Luo was also accompanied by a woman dressed in black and wearing a veil hat.

As such, the princess, who had always wanted to be in the wind and rain, had nearly clashed with Leng Hong Xiu!

Thus, a person rushed from the Duke's Palace to the city at the very edge of the county, while Leng Hong Xiu and Sen Luo were on their way to the same city. Leng Hong Xiu never thought that before they entered the city, the people from the Duke's Palace would already have received their news, much less the infatuated young prefecture lord would come so soon!

When she came back and saw that there was no sign of Leng Hong Xiu leaving her room, she thought of her cold expression and her bad temper, and almost knocked on the door a few times, and then retracted her hand.

However, it looked like she was about to take charge of the lights. Could it be that she wasn't even going to eat dinner?

Sen Luo could not help but feel dejected. Along the way, although he was ridiculed by Leng Hong Xiu for being sarcastic, he was still used to talking to her from time to time. For a time, he could not see her nor hear Leng Hong Xiu's cold voice.

If it were before, he would have gone out to find a human woman to enjoy a merry life, or to eat a few humans to fill up his empty stomach. But now, after tasting the ecstasy of Leng Hong Xiu's body, Sen Luo did not feel like wanting another woman at all.

Leng Hong Xiu was even more displeased with the smell of his corpse, and he dared not eat anymore living people, not to mention that he had been eating cooked food with Leng Hong Xiu these few days, and the meat that had been cooked, from the start, was chewed on weirdly, to the point where he was actually used to it now, and even though there was nothing that was dripping with blood, it still did not stop him from eating.

To put it simply, Sen Luo really didn't know what to do now!

The main hall was already lit up, it was not too dark at all. Sen Luo had taken a table for himself and ordered ten catties of beef and two jugs of wine. To be honest, ten catties of meat was not enough to fill a small portion of his stomach, but ten catties of meat was enough for a normal human to eat for at least three days.

After slicing all ten catties of beef, that huge pottery was fully filled, and the wine was also sent over. Sen Luo directly pushed the wine cup to the side, and with one hand holding the chopsticks, and the other holding the wine jug, he raised his head to drink, and then ate the beef, his actions were not very elegant, and did not match the luxurious Young Master's clothes he wore. Fortunately, it was night, and there were not many customers in the restaurant, only a few businessmen who were travelling, so no one paid too much attention to him.

Halfway through his meal, the sound of galloping horses came from the main street, approaching like a drum. Not long after, they stopped in front of the inn where Sen Luo was staying. The door of the inn was opened, and the door of the inn was completely opened.

A woman in beautiful riding clothes quickly walked in, followed by a maid. In addition, through her back, one could see two rows of soldiers standing straight and respectfully at the two sides of the inn. One could tell with a single glance that the guards of the government office had scared the waiter and the shopkeeper.

That woman was Yun Xiangyun.

Sen Luo seemed to be completely oblivious to such a commotion. He continued eating his beef and drinking his wine until a fragrant aroma wafted into his nose. He then frowned in displeasure and raised his eyes to meet Yun Xiangyun's fervent and joyful gaze.

"Young master Sen Luo, we finally meet again!" Yun Xiangyun was so excited that she didn't know what to say. This man was even more handsome than she remembered. He was so dazzling that she didn't dare to look at him for too long.

Sen Luo frowned even more. He couldn't remember when he had seen this woman before. He only coldly said, "I don't know you. Please leave. Don't disturb my drinking!"

"Ah?" Young Master Sen Luo, it's me. We even met at the Lantern Festival last year, and you even talked to me about it. Don't you remember? "

Yun Xiangyun could not believe that someone she liked could not remember her at all. She had spent a year searching for him, and had almost gone crazy because of him, but then she thought about it, he was handsome, and had seen countless beauties all year round. She could not remember if she could understand what he meant, since the last time she had seen him was a year ago.

Another 'Festival of the First'?

Sen Luo narrowed his eyes and said unhappily in his heart, "You're that Princess Xiang Xi?"

Ah!" Young master Sen Luo, do you still remember me? "Great!" Yun Xiangyun's eyes immediately filled with tears of excitement as her entire body trembled uncontrollably. She originally thought that Young Master Sen Luo did not even remember him. Now, it seemed that she had not forgotten at all!

"Don't you think you're too childish, too shameless, to immediately withdraw the people who came looking for me with my portrait in their hands? He was actually holding a portrait of a man and looking for someone? Hmph, I don't want to see you, get lost now! "
