Dafeng's Night Squad

Chapter 1523: Probing (5400) _3

however, he himself might unknown about the marriage. Although thousand-man commander Xu has agreed, it’s still unknown whether it will count.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. Xu yinluo was raised by her second uncle and aunt. Although they are not her parents, she is more like one. Marriage was a major event, and it was the parents ‘order and the matchmaker’s words. Based on my understanding of the Xu clan, Lord Xu’s promise is useful.”

Lin ‘an was secretly happy in his heart, and he replied with a reserved “yes.”

At this moment, she heard Wang simu sigh.

“You’re a noble Princess. No matter who you marry, you’ll always be glorious and show off your strength. Only if you marry into the Xu family, I’m afraid that your identity as a Princess will not be of any use.”

With Xu Qi ‘an’s current status and cultivation, a mere Princess would not be able to restrain him.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the foolish little sister of the Xu family could do as she pleased in the palace, and not even the princes and princesses would dare to provoke her.

Since that was the case, when Lin an’s Highness married into the Xu family, as long as Xu yinluo did not separate from her uncle and aunt, then she would be suppressed by the Xu family’s matriarch.

Lin ‘an wasn’t stupid, he understood Wang simu’s implied meaning.

“Simu, you can just say it.”

Wang si mu said softly, ” the Xu family’s matriarch is extremely capable. Once you enter the Xu family, don’t have any conflict with her. Just be an obedient little daughter-in-law. If the rules are set and things are made difficult for you, just bear with it. ”

Hearing this, Lin an frowned slightly, his heart inexplicably heavy. He said in surprise, ”

“You’re actually so afraid of him?”

Wang simu sighed.

“My skills are far inferior to hers. Have you seen Xu lingyue?”

Lin ‘an recalled that day in the stargazing tower, he had met Xu lingyue once and nodded, ”

“Well-behaved, sensible, and delicate. You look very weak.”

Wang simu laughed coldly.

“That’s just an act to scare people. That girl is insidious and vicious. By the way, she’s very infatuated with her brother, Xu yinluo. When you marry into the Xu family, the first thing you need to do is to work with me to get her married. Otherwise, you’ll suffer.”

Lin an was deep in thought.

Wang simu continued,

“I’ve crossed swords with her many times in secret, but I didn’t gain any advantage. To be able to raise such a daughter, how could the Xu family’s matriarch be someone easy to deal with? Erlang was talented, and it was said that it was the Xu family’s matriarch who had taught him to read and write since he was young.

“You have to know that second uncle Xu is only a martial artist. He can’t teach a scholar like Erlang. Also, I heard that when Xu yinluo was young, she was not on good terms with aunt. She was forced to live in the small courtyard of the neighboring house, and her life was very poor.”

Lin ‘an was shocked. He didn’t expect Xu Qi’ an to have such a terrible past.

She knew Xu Qi ‘an well. He was unruly and refused to submit to anyone. From a small gang in Changle County, he had become a hero today. No one could suppress him.

Such a person had actually been chased to the small courtyard by the Xu family’s matriarch when he was young.

Wang simu said in a low voice,

“Of course, at that time, Xu yinluo was still a rebel and was living under someone else’s roof. However, Your Highness, after Xu yinluo’s meteoric rise, he did not settle the score. Instead, he treated his aunt and his family with all his heart.

“Now you know how powerful the Xu family’s matriarch is at controlling people.”

Lin an was stunned on the spot. With a face full of fear, he stammered,

I … Why would. provoke her for no reason? I won’t provoke her …

……… Wang si mu opened her mouth. Actually. what she wanted to say next was that it was not difficult to deal with the Xu family’s matriarch. As long as we joined forces, you would listen to my orders …

But seeing that His Highness of Lin an was so useless, she could not say these words.

At the end of the walk, Lin ‘an got a satisfactory answer, but was still afraid of the Xu family’s matriarch. With a heart full of worries, he sat on the luxurious carriage and returned to the palace with the sound of the wheels.

It was close to lunch, so she did not return to shaoyin Palace. Instead, she went to her mother’s residence.

Imperial consort Chen had laid out a table full of delicacies and was waiting for her son and daughter to have lunch together. Seeing Lin an enter, she nodded slightly.

The relationship between the mother and daughter was somewhat cold. Consort Chen took a sip of tea and indifferently said,

“After his Majesty ascended the throne, he became more and more uninterested in consort mother’s words. I, as a mother, can’t even control my own daughter’s marriage.”

According to the rules, you can’t interfere with my marriage … Lin an muttered in his heart and frowned, ”

“Consort mother is not satisfied with my marriage. You can just find brother Emperor and make it clear. Why are you telling me?”

Consort Chen coldly snorted,

“There’s no need for that. I know that you like him.”

Consort Chen was only brooding over the case of Consort Fu. That brat did not care about Lin ‘an’s face at all and exposed her scheme. She had been demoted by the previous emperor.

“I heard from His Majesty that he is not in Qingzhou or the capital. Now that the Central Plains is in chaos and the war in Qingzhou is at a standstill, why is he running around instead of working for the Imperial court?”

Consort Chen complained.

I don’t know if His Majesty will be able to win over that damn kid if he marries you … Consort Chen muttered in her heart, but she did not say it out loud in front of her daughter.

She still loved Lin ‘an.

As they muttered, the dishes on the table were all ready. The mother and daughter waited for a while, but Emperor Yongxing did not come.

Consort Chen furrowed her brows and ordered,

His Majesty hasn’t had his meal yet. Send someone to inform the peace God Hall.

The eunuch serving in the palace left. After a quarter of an hour, he returned in a hurry and said, ”

“His Majesty was in a meeting with the other officials, so this servant was unable to see his Majesty.”

“Do you know what it is?” Consort Chen’s heart sank.

It was a sensitive period of time where the wind and rain were unstable, and she was extremely concerned about political affairs.

The eunuch said, ”

I heard from the eunuch of the pacifying God Hall that the Department of Astronomy sent a Warlock to deliver a message to the palace. They said that the South is in a state of great upheaval and that the South demons have recaptured the hundred thousand mountains and are rebuilding the thousand demon Kingdom.

The thousand demon Kingdom … Consort Chen suddenly remembered the existence of the thousand demon Kingdom, and her charming face was full of joy.

“The demon race that has allied with the Imperial court?”

The eunuch nodded.

“Good, good …”

Consort Chen’s face was full of smiles as she looked at Lin an,”A while ago, His Majesty also said that if the South demon can’t succeed, it will be difficult to achieve the plan to contain the Buddhist sect. The situation in the Central Plains is worrying.”

“Now it seems that brother Emperor’s worry will not be realized.”

Consort Chen was ecstatic.

“God bless, God bless Your Majesty.”

After waiting for another hour, Emperor Yongxing arrived late with a smile on his face. He was in a good mood.

Already half-full, Consort Chen stood up with a smile.

“I’m heating up the food and wine for Your Majesty.”

He immediately ordered the palace maids to serve the wine and dishes.

Emperor Yongxing laughed,

“Today is worth drinking a few cups. Lin an, you also drink a few cups with Zhen.”

He patted his sister’s shoulder, showing that he valued Lin ‘an.

Seeing this, Consort Chen furrowed her brows and probed, ”

“Your Majesty, I heard that something happened in the southern border?”

Emperor Yongxing laughed,”Speaking of which, Xu yinluo played a huge role in the South demon’s ability to take back the hundred thousand mountains and contain the Buddhist League.” If not for him leading the charge, it would not have been so easy for the South demons to take back the hundred thousand mountains.”

Lin an’s eyes lit up.

It’s him … Consort Chen’s mood was complicated. She glanced at her radiant daughter and immediately felt embarrassed.

………..

The heavenly sect.

The celestial mountain stood tall and was shrouded in auspicious clouds. The cries of apes and cranes could be heard.

There were many palaces, hidden in the clouds and the forest. From time to time, the empty and melodious sound of a bell rang out from this immortal Palace that was like a paradise.

Above the sea of clouds, a tall and handsome exotic beast stuck its head down.

It looked down at the celestial mountain for a moment and walked out of the sea of clouds.

Its body was like a deer, covered with snow-white scales, a pair of horns on its head, a snake tail.

His vertical pupils were as blue as the sea.

………..
