"I do not need you to marry me. Our women in the south are different from your women in the capital." On the spur of the moment, she blurted out.
"Self-respect." His voice was deep and full of magnetism, and as his hand loosened, Pan Ruozhu took two steps back and leaned against the table behind her. She suddenly came to her senses, looking ashamed.
This king has come here only to repay that favor, and also to not use this excuse as an excuse for you and Prince An Qing to ask me anything in the future. Now, this king has already drunk the wine that you spoke of, and the love for that sword is already gone. Feng Yunzheng's tone clearly carried a cold warning.
"Ninth prince, your self-control is too good." Pan Ruochen hugged her body tightly, feeling that she really was asking to be humiliated. She thought that the Ninth Prince's heart would be moved by the drunkenness. However, she didn't expect that the one who lost control would be herself.
"You're wrong. Originally, you didn't use much self-control." As Feng Yunzheng spoke, he turned around and left. The white robe carried a gust of wind and carried a graceful immortal aura.
The door opened and he disappeared.
Pan Ruoxi felt her body soften as she fell to the ground. She finally understood what he meant. Facing her, there was no need to control himself, because he had never been tempted by her before!
What kind of person was that woman that she could make such an outstanding man stand up for her?
"Princess, princess …" Silver Coin ran in hastily. Seeing Pan Ruochen sitting on the ground, she was shocked and hurried over.
Pan Ruochen held up a jar of wine and poured it over her face. "This prefecture lord has made a notice that no one will marry in this lifetime. No one is to enter Prince An Qing's mansion to propose marriage."
"Princess …" Silver's heart skipped a beat. Was the princess going to defend the ninth prince for the rest of her life? " "But, then Ninth Prince …"
"No need for further words, bring me a brush, ink, and paper!" Pan Ruocheng slammed the wine vat onto the ground, causing it to splash high into the air.
"Yes."
A few days later.
Feng Yunzheng left Qingnan, and when the carriage passed through the city, he saw a group of people gathered at the city gate to watch the liveliness. The night wind also ran over to take a look, and when he came back, he said:
"Then if Princess Chu has posted a notice saying that no one is to be married in this life, no one is to be allowed to come to the palace to ask for a marriage. Otherwise, heads will be sent to you."
Feng Yunzheng lightly glanced at him and said, "About other people's matters, you don't have to worry about them. If you have time, you might as well think about your own matters." He closed his eyes.
Ye Feng's face looked sullen as he mumbled, "I was just here to watch the show."
In the eyes of the princess, she was also a strong woman. It was a pity that the person she had to defeat was the eldest miss. The eldest miss was the uncrowned king of the Ninth Prince, so —
Sometimes, it's not that you're not good enough, but that the person he wants isn't you at all.
Other than Lian Yingyue, anyone liking Feng Yunzheng was a calamity. He only thought of them as passing guests, but they would have to spend their entire lives reminiscing about him and forgetting him.
Qing Nan ended the fight smoothly, and the next was An Ping, Wang Lu, and Shang –
Among the three vassals, Anqing was the weakest, and because of his geographical position, he was far from the other two vassal lords. Moreover, his two sons were not in good condition, which was also the reason why the En Order was carried out so smoothly.
Their sons were not simple, even their grandchildren were mediocre people, and Pingzhou was also the largest territory in the territory of the three vassals. King Anguang, Li Mao, relied on Lu Shang's breathing as well, making the combination of the two much more difficult.
In his previous life, Anping King Lu Shang had waged a war against the imperial government together with King Anguang and Li Mao. Later, Xiao Zhenhai volunteered himself to go to Pingzhou and annihilate the three vassals in one fell swoop. He made a great contribution and from then on, he completely established his position within the imperial government.
In this life, would the Xiao family still have that wish?
The mountain customs office.
In the middle of the night, Huang Yan woke up from his daze and saw Lian Fu still sitting there, flipping through the book in front of him. He said, "Tong, it's almost daybreak. Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Big Brother Huang, you sleep first. I'll go to sleep after I finish reading these pages." Lian Fang turned his head and said to Huang Yan.
Huang Yan said, "You've already practiced for an entire day, and yet you're still reading military strategies at night. Aren't you tired?"
Lian Meng smiled and said, "I'm not tired. Quickly go to sleep. You still have to get up early tomorrow."
Every day, he would lead a hundred of his subordinates to practice diligently, and every night, he would read until late at night with a lamp lit. He read the military books one by one, and when he looked at them, the books he had read almost formed a small mountain.
"Xuan, I've never seen such a hardworking person like you. You will definitely become a powerful official in the future." Huang Yan sincerely said.
When Lian Meng heard this, he paused for a moment before saying, "I just want to one day be able to protect the people I care about."
Before he left, he swore to the Emperor that he would return in glory, and that he would do so only to protect those he wished to protect.
Lian Meng put down the book in his hands, opened the tent and walked out.
It was grey outside, and a red light was faintly discernible in the east. He raised his eyes to look, and that picturesque face of his was almost melting in the sky like this …
Elder sister, are you doing well?
I have not heard much about you, said Fourth Uncle. My mother gave birth to a little brother, and I could not help but feel a surge of relief. You must be very happy, too.
Elder sister, it has been a long time since I last saw your smile.
I really... I missed you a lot. In your heart, you still remember Yi'er … Younger brother?
I don't know why, but I feel especially guilty towards her. I always felt that I had let her down, and I didn't help her in any way when she was in distress …
If she wasn't dead, if everything was fake, how great would it be …
"Boom …" As Lian Fu was immersed in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard a loud sound coming from afar. He turned around abruptly and saw the soldiers running out from the tents one by one. He was startled and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Not good!" "Chidan suddenly attacked, the whole army is in emergency preparation for battle!"
Huang Yan and a few soldiers rushed over and shouted with nervous faces.
"What, Chidan …" Lian Fu's heart sank as he immediately said, "Quick, gather our men. Marshal Yuan must have an important mission to complete!"
"Yes sir!"
Everyone gathered.
Not long later, the marshal, Lian Yanfu, had already donned his armor and stood high on his warhorse. Raising the sharp sword in his hand, he said loudly:
"Soldiers, we have been stationed at the customs for five years. During these five years, everyone has gone through a lot of training. Now, when Chidan invades our Central Plains, it is finally time for us to show our prowess and build a career!"
