Chapter 261 - Princess Xicha
"Oh? This news has actually spread outside. " Ling Xiao said with some surprise.
If it was just some trivial matters, no one would really pay attention to it. But the position of the Master Wu Lin determines who is the boss of the entire Jianghu, and will even affect the positions of the various powers, I have no choice but to pay attention. " Ye Lvhongji said with a serious expression.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded and said: "That's true, although I am not officially taking my Master Wu Lin's seat, it is already a foregone conclusion, and there is no way for it to change, as long as I do not sit for a day, my words will not be as unyielding, at least it will be hard to convince the masses."
"I understand Sect Master Ling's intentions. This time, the reason why I've asked Sect Master Ling to run for the position of Prince Consort is not only for myself, but also for Sect Master Ling." Ye Lvhongji said.
Ling Xiao raised his head, looked at Ye Lvhongji, and laughed lightly: "Hongji's leader means to borrow the power of the Xicha to help this reputed one get stronger?"
"That's right, to be honest, we can't wait any longer, because if we delay it any longer, then those small countries around us will also take action. Once the war starts, we, the big countries, will become the most eye-catching targets." Ye Lvhongji said worriedly.
"When we arrive at Xicha, let's discuss this matter together. My goal is to maintain peace in the world and I do not wish for any war to happen." Ling Xiao said.
Hearing this, Ye Lvhongji nodded his head and said, "I'm the same. My main goal is also the Sect Master Ling, but I won't allow my own people to be threatened."
"Naturally." Ling Xiao laughed faintly.
At this time, the Carriage stopped, and the melodious sound of a musical instrument drifted over. It was a type of ancient melodious music.
"This is the Xicha's joyous music." Ye Lvhongji said.
"Not bad." Ling Xiao nodded in praise.
Afterwards, the two dismounted and saw that a special messenger was waiting for them.
Following the envoy, the two of them arrived at a luxurious room.
"This doesn't seem to be the main hall?" Ling Xiao looked around and asked.
"Mm, I specifically instructed the King of Xicha to arrange this so that we can speak privately. Other than the people in the imperial family, no one knew we would come here." Ye Lvhongji laughed.
"So that's how it is. It seems that all of you are really worried." Ling Xiao said as he nodded his head.
Not long after they entered the room, a servant brought in tea-water and delicacies inside, followed by a hearty laughter.
"He's coming." Hearing this laughter, Ye Lvhongji immediately laughed and stood up.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao stood up too and looked towards the door.
The person who came was a middle-aged man. Although his appearance was ordinary, he had an aura unique to those in power. One look was all it took to tell that he wasn't an ordinary person.
King of Xicha first greeted Ye Lvhongji, then looked towards Ling Xiao.
"This must be the Sect Master Ling." The King of Xicha said with a smile.
Ling Xiao cupped his fists and replied: "Yes, that's me."
"I have long heard of the great appearance and talent of the Sect Master Ling. I knew that His Majesty Hong Ji would not lie to me on this occasion." King of Xicha was obviously very satisfied with Ling Xiao and kept praising him.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao smiled: "You're flattering me."
"Since everyone is already here, let's get down to business." Ye Lvhongji said.
"Seems like His Majesty Hong Ji cannot wait any longer. Since that's the case, let's begin." The King of Xicha laughed.
Following that, King of Xicha ordered for everyone to be chased away. Without his order, they were not allowed to come close.
King of Xicha personally poured tea-water for Ling Xiao and the others and carried it in front of them. It could be said that he was extremely humble, as if he wanted to leave a good impression on Ling Xiao.
Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao actually raised his eyebrows, because there was nothing to offer, it was either a thief or a traitor. If King of Xicha was willing to lower himself to speak to him, there must be some kind of excessive request.
After pouring down the tea-water, only then did King of Xicha return to his seat. He looked at Ling Xiao and said: "Sect Master Ling, this is our Western Xia's special tea leaves. Although it is not as fragrant as the Central Plains, it is still quite interesting."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao took a sip, and leaned against the chair, and said indifferently: The tea is good, but when I drink it, I do not feel anything, why not directly talk about it, your majesty the king?
After hearing that, King of Xicha glanced at Ye Lvhongji awkwardly, then scratched his head and said: "I want to say something, Sect Master Ling should have heard of it on the way."
"Hongji's leader said that this matter is urgent, so don't delay any longer." Ling Xiao said.
With Ling Xiao's capabilities, these people basically do not have the qualifications to compete. However, we still have to trouble the Sect Master Ling to take action, and this was also for them to see. " The King of Xicha said.
"Oh? What kind of plans have you prepared? " Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.
After coughing twice, King of Xicha opened his mouth and said: "If we were to give it directly to Sect Master Ling, it would definitely not be appropriate. Hence, we set up a stage, and only the victor can marry the princess.
"Seems like I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to win." Ling Xiao squinted his eyes and said with a faint smile.
Hearing this, King of Xicha quickly waved his hands and said, "What do you mean by that, Sect Master Ling? I definitely do not have that intention."
"Princess Xixia, I haven't officially met her. It's fine if I win the match, but what if she doesn't like me?" Ling Xiao said indifferently.
King of Xicha's expression became serious, "Sect Master Ling is worrying too much, my daughter really desires to see you."
"Is that so? I wonder if I can meet him alone?" There are some things that I would like to ask, and I would like to see her true reaction. " Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Hearing that, the King of Xicha could not help but be startled, then looked at Ye Lvhongji, seeing him nod his head, after hesitating for a moment, he also nodded his head and agreed, "Alright, I can arrange for a room for all of you, but it cannot be for too long."
"Of course, just a few words. It won't take long." Ling Xiao said.
"Right now?" King of Xicha raised his head and asked.
"Yes, I'll go now." Ling Xiao nodded.
"Sect Master Ling Qing, follow me." King of Xicha took a deep breath, then stood up and said.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao stood up and followed along.
Since they were meeting alone, Ye Lvhongji did not follow them.
After making a few turns in the palace, they finally stopped at a quiet side hall.
