Chapter 262 - Recruitment of a Prince Consort
"It's here. I'll wait outside for you." The King of Xicha said.
"Alright, it won't take long." Ling Xiao nodded.
Entering the side hall, Ling Xiao smelt a wave of fragrance coming from the side hall. It was very strange, it was not a spice from the Central Plains.
Taking a few steps further in, Ling Xiao saw that behind a layer of gauze, there was a woman with an extremely good figure dancing. Even though Ling Xiao had walked over, it seemed like he did not sense his, and was still focused on dancing.
There was no music, and no audience. This young and beautiful woman continued to dance on her own.
Ling Xiao did not disturb them, and just watched quietly, and in the end, he could not help but clap his hands.
"Seems like Sect Master Ling really likes it." Princess Xixia used a light veil to cover his face, making his look very bashful.
Ling Xiao laughed blandly: "Because it's very good. Even if it's not suitable for music, it's still very rhythmic. This Seat really likes it a lot."
"That's great, I've always heard that the Sect Master Ling was a very powerful man in the Central Plains. I'm very worried that I'm not worthy of you." Princess Xi Xia walked to the side of a table, poured a cup of wine, turned and handed it over to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao did not look at it, and gulped it down, as though he was not worried that there was any problem with the wine at all.
Seeing this scene, Princess Xi Xia's smile became even more joyous, and his entire being relaxed a lot. It was probably because Ling Xiao's action had made Princess Xi Xia feel more confident.
"Does Sect Master Ling like me?" Seeing Ling Xiao not saying a word, Princess of the Western Xia said while grinding his teeth.
After placing the empty wine cup back on the table, Ling Xiao paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, as if he was admiring the decorations in the side hall.
After a long while, Ling Xiao finally stopped and looked at a landscape painting that came from the Western Regions, and said indifferently: "I can't say I like it, I just think that the princess is very beautiful, because I have yet to truly understand her, but I feel that you are a smart person, and will not disappoint me."
"That's right, we haven't really understood each other, then is there anything that Sect Master Ling doesn't like?" Princess Xixia raised his head and asked.
Ling Xiao turned around and looked at Princess Western Xia, and said indifferently: "I don't like to be a burden and cause trouble."
"Such as?" Princess Xixia's beautiful eyes were wide open, as if he was asking about something.
"It's against this reputed one." Ling Xiao replied.
Hearing this, Princess Xi Xia was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "I understand Sect Master Ling's meaning, you want me to stand on your side right?"
"You're really smart. If I were to say what I like about you, then you'd be smart." Ling Xiao revealed a satisfied smile.
"Then can Sect Master Ling tell me what your position is?" Princess Xixia asked with a serious expression.
She knew that Ling Xiao's position represented her position in the future, and that the person standing behind her was the entire Xicha, was not a child's play. Even if she really liked Ling Xiao, she would definitely not take an entire country as a joke.
"My position is very simple, it is to ensure that the world is peaceful and I do not wish for any wars to occur. No matter how large-scale the war is, it is extremely likely that it will become the fuse of war in this world." Ling Xiao looked at Princess Xi Xia and said word by word.
After hearing what Ling Xiao said, Princess Xi Xia immediately revealed a smile, "So it's like this. Then I can rest assured.
From the looks of it, the Princess of Western Xia had the same stance.
"Alright, then let's end today's conversation here. See you tomorrow." Ling Xiao nodded, then turned and left.
This man was not only powerful, his actions were also extremely calm and decisive. If he wanted this world, who could stop him?
After exiting the side hall, Ling Xiao saw King of Xicha pacing back and forth. It seemed that he was very worried about the situation inside.
Seeing Ling Xiao coming out, the King of Xicha hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sect Master Ling, are you satisfied?"
Ling Xiao slightly nodded and said: "Princess is a very smart person and also very beautiful.
Hearing this, King of Xicha could not help but heave a sigh of relief, knowing that there would be no problems with the marriage anymore.
"Sect Master Ling, it's getting late, how about I send you back to rest?" The King of Xicha said.
Ling Xiao nodded and said: "Can you help me pass a message to Hongji's leader? There are some things that you still want to tell him."
"Of course there's no problem. Your residences are right next to each other. Talking is very convenient, and there's no one else around. It's absolutely quiet." The King of Xicha laughed.
Arriving at his own residence, Ling Xiao saw that Ye Lvhongji was already waiting for him.
After bidding farewell to Ling Xiao and Ye Lvhongji, King of Xicha took the lead and left, giving the two of them enough space.
"Sect Master Ling, how is it?" Ye Lvhongji stood up and walked in front of Ling Xiao, and asked somewhat anxiously.
If Ling Xiao did not fancy the Western Xia Princess, then his plan would basically have failed as well.
"Not bad. I'm quite satisfied." Ling Xiao said.
"That's good." Hearing this, Ye Lvhongji heaved a sigh of relief.
"If this thing goes according to your plan, what do you plan to do after it's over?" Ling Xiao found a chair to sit down on and asked with his head raised.
Hearing that, Ye Lvhongji's heart tensed up, and said: "Of course it is to maintain peace."
"I hope what the Hongji's leader said is true. You are well aware of how tense the current situation is, and that everyone is an unstable variable." Ling Xiao said with a serious expression.
As long as he could get rid of those unsettled enemies, it would be fine. Xiao Feng had already dealt with this matter, and what Ling Xiao needed to do was to stabilize the ambitions of these large nations.
Seeing Ling Xiao's serious expression, Ye Lvhongji knew that Ling Xiao was not joking. After being silent for a moment, he nodded and said: "Of course, I will keep my promise."
"Then there's no problem." Ling Xiao revealed a smile.
On the second day, under the convening of the King of Xicha, the people who came to participate in the Prince Consort Competition were all gathered together. One could see all kinds of rich and beautiful clothing, and even the Western Region's decorations.
After everyone was seated, King of Xicha slowly walked to the spectator's stand and loudly announced the official start of the Prince Consort's election.
One could see the different expressions on the faces of everyone who took part in the selection, but without exception, they were all confident in their own abilities.
