Chapter 560



560 Fulfilling the promise (2)

In the end, the head of the family, Xu Pingzhi, made a decision and said, “”I’ll have to trouble Lina to teach my daughter.”

Xu niannian and Xu Qi ‘an looked at her with confusion. Did they really have to let Lina live in the capital for five or even twenty years?

The repair fee was too high.

In response, Xu Pingzhi laughed and said, “”Lingying is just a girl, and she doesn’t want to be the number one master in the world. If he could learn a little, even if he couldn’t finish his apprenticeship, it didn’t matter.

“The two of you are too ambitious. You always want to be the leader of everything.”

Xu niannian and Xu Qi ‘an had nothing to say. They felt that what their second uncle (father) said made sense.

Lina patted Xu lingying’s head. if you come back to the southern border with me, my father will definitely take you in as a personal disciple. In ten years at most, you’ll be able to move a mountain.”

A corresponding scene appeared in Xu Qi ‘an’s mind. Ten years later, Xu lingying, who had grown up, was carrying a mountain. Every step she took caused an earthquake-like effect.

Big pot, I’m back. I’m giving you a mountain. Take it!

The Xu family’s daughter had just grown up, and her strength was unparalleled … Xu Qi ‘an shivered.

…………

The sky was blue and Dark Before Dawn.

An orange cat strode elegantly through the empty and quiet streets and came to the Gate of the Sun Manor.

It nimbly jumped onto the roof of a house facing the street, looked around, and then jumped off the roof, quickly running to the Gate of the Sun Manor.

Then, the orange cat’s throat rolled, forming a round outline, and slowly squeezed out of his throat.

It was a small Jade Mirror. After it was spat out, it didn’t fall to the ground, but floated in the air. The mirror flashed and shook out an unconscious young master.

The orange cat opened its mouth and put the Jade Mirror back into its stomach. It raised its tail and quickly left.

After another fifteen minutes, the old gatekeeper opened the door with a yawn and saw the well-dressed young master lying on the ground. He was shocked. After seeing the young master’s face, he ran into the mansion excitedly.

After a while, a few servants hurried in and carried the well-dressed young man into the mansion.

Minister sun heard the news and rushed over. When he saw his son lying unconscious on the couch, his heart was instantly in his mouth.

master, young master is only unconscious. He’s not seriously injured. The old Butler standing by the bed said.

“What do you mean by not too badly injured?” Minister sun raised his eyebrows.

“Young master … I was whipped dozens of times, and my skin was torn open. Fortunately, it’s all superficial wounds, and I’m fine after applying medicine.” The old Butler lowered his head.

“Bastard! You broke your promise!”

Minister sun’s face was livid. He was both distressed and angry. But then, as if he thought of something, his boiling anger suddenly dissipated.

After a moment of silence, Minister sun sighed, “”It’s good that you’re back.”

…………

Noble Qi building, tea room.

“King Yu no longer has any thoughts of fighting for fame and fortune, so he’s able to return my favor. If he was still the same King Yu from back then, he probably wouldn’t have agreed so easily. As for state Duke Cao, he and the Deputy general of the North-guarding King have joined forces to plot against my invincible Vajra.

“I remember the Duke of Wei saying that disputes in the Imperial court are all about benefits, and that one must learn to compromise. So I agreed to his request.”

Xu Qi ‘an held a cup of tea and sat in the well-lit tea room. He turned his head and looked at Wei Yuan, who was basking in the sun and looking at the scenery on the lookout tower.

“Not bad, you do have the ability to comprehend, but it’s a pity that it’s hard to change your temperament, and you’re not suitable for the court.” Wei Yuan nodded.

“It’s mainly because you’ve taught me well.” Xu Qi ‘an said humbly.

Wei Yuan smiled and placed his hands on the railing. He looked at the beautiful spring scenery and asked after a long time, ”

“You’ve been running around for the imperial examination fraud case and didn’t even stay in the Yamen much. It’s been hard on you.”

“But I’ve also learned a lot,” Xu Qi ‘an responded and took a sip of tea.

“You understand my point,” Wei Yuan chuckled.

Xu Baiqiao was stunned for a moment and had a bad feeling.”Hard work?”

Wei Yuan shook his head. Without turning around, he said in a gentle tone, “”I didn’t really stay in the Yamen.”

“……..”

“So, this month’s salary is gone,” Wei Yuan added.

Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes were dazed as she looked at Wei Qingyi’s back. She cried, “”Wei gongzi, my salary for this month is long gone.”

“Is that so?” “Then there’s no more for next month.” Wei Yuan nodded.

“???”

Did I make him unhappy …? The smart Xu baijin did not dwell on this topic. One should never compete with the leader, as it would only invite a rebuff.

“Duke of Wei, why did the Deputy general of the North vanquishing Prince return to the capital?”

“The situation in the North is tense. They lack food and pay, so they came back for silver.” Wei Yuan said.

“What kind of person is North vanquishing Prince?”

“What an overbearing person.”

Overbearing people were often unreasonable, and because of his status as. Prince, he could ignore the rules to. certain extent … Xu Qi ‘an judged in his heart.

After saying goodbye to Wei Yuan, he got on the little mare, put the heavy bag on the saddle, and galloped to King Huai’s mansion.

Now, he had to fulfill his promise and go to the Deputy general of the North-guarding King.

“It’s strange. Chu Xianglong told me to go to the northern Garrison mansion to find him after everything is over. This means that he didn’t stay in his own home when he returned to the capital, but in the northern Garrison mansion.

“At least, most of the time, I’ll be staying in the North Garrison. The North vanquishing Prince is at the border, and there’s only one most beautiful woman in his residence, the princess Consort …”

From the North vanquishing Prince’s point of view, he would definitely not allow his younger brother to live under the same roof with his widowed concubine.

But Chu Xianglong did it, and he did it so openly and without hiding anything. This meant that Chu Xianglong had been instructed by the North vanquishing Prince.

Why did the North-guarding King do this?

His trust in the Deputy general far exceeded that of the princess Consort …

…………..

King Huai’s mansion, outer hall.

A woman with a veil and a beautiful palace dress was sitting at the table and fiddling with a tea set.

In the hall, the fully armored and armed Ming Xianglong stood upright. He stared at the Queen with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice, ”

“I heard from the palace guards that the princess Consort disappeared twice for no reason?”

The veiled woman turned a deaf ear and lowered her head to fiddle with the tea set. Her movements were gentle and her posture was elegant.

“How did wangfei hide it from the guards? And how did he hide it from the Directorate of Celestials? Who have you seen recently, and what have you encountered?”

“You’re too noisy!”

The veiled woman frowned and said in a cold voice, ” are you questioning me? ”

“I don’t dare!”

“Other than asking His Majesty for the pay, I’m also here to take the princess to the North to meet the king. You should be prepared,” said Chu Xianglong with his head lowered.

After a pause, he raised his head and stared into the woman’s lively and beautiful eyes.”I’ll be staying in the Wang Residence during this time. If the princess wants to go out, this humble servant will accompany her the entire time.”

The masked woman remained silent.

At this moment, a guard entered the hall and cupped his fists. “General Ying, the silver Gong Xu Qi ‘an requests an audience.”

yes. Chu Xianglong nodded and glanced at the Queen. He cupped his fists and left the hall.

Xu Qi. an, what is he doing here … The masked woman lowered her head, her eyes moving slyly. No one knew what she was thinking.
