Eyes facing each other.
Xu Xiao's heart was trembling.
Something's wrong!
This kid is so calm even after knowing the truth!
It's like a storm is brewing!
I'm afraid they're going to beat me up any second now!
His eyes darted around, and he immediately burst into laughter, saying, "Feng Nian, your eyes are truly discerning! You are truly my prodigy! This is what they mean by 'fiery eyes and golden pupils,' and you are the one who can see into people's hearts. Such wisdom is truly unparalleled in the world, indeed..."
Yes! Xu Xiao has an extremely strong will to survive!
He rattled off every single idiom he knew in his life! I just hope he'll go easy on me when I get a beating!
However, Xu Fengnian was not in a hurry.
He crossed his arms and smiled.
Watch him perform quietly.
After the twelfth idiom.
Xu Xiao's vocabulary is insufficient!
He chuckled, then coughed twice, and got straight to the point. He could tell that Xu Fengnian was in a good mood today and probably wouldn't beat him up.
"Well, Feng Nian, the Emperor has issued a decree to marry his most beloved twelfth princess, Princess Sui Zhu, to you."
"I plan to send you on a three-year journey, firstly to temper your character, and secondly to avoid an arranged marriage. What do you think?"
In Xu Xiao's view.
With Xu Fengnian's intelligence, he could immediately see the complex relationships and interests involved.
They will definitely agree to the travel trip.
No idea.
Xu Fengnian raised an eyebrow: "Not so! Traveling? I'm not going. Whoever wants to go can go!"
Chapter 1: I'll just kill myself! The Four Ghosts of Western Hunan
The original owner had never practiced martial arts.
There's absolutely no foundation.
As for the Great Yellow Court?
This is a world of martial arts where sects are numerous and kingdoms are divided!
Many things will not unfold as they did in the original story!
Xu Fengnian wants to become stronger.
The only way is to check in!
The stronger the luck in a place, the greater the reward!
Which place has a higher auspicious energy than the imperial palace?
He had long wanted to visit the palace.
He could also get a princess for free, even though Princess Suizhu was a bit unlikable, but Xu Fengnian had a good appetite and wasn't picky about food.
"Feng Nian! This is not the time for jokes!"
Xu Xiao rarely stood up for herself in front of her son.
With a flick of his sleeve, he scoffed, "Do you intend to go to the capital as a hostage? Do you want me, the King of Northern Liang, to be controlled by the court?"
"Only by going out and traveling can we silence the criticisms from the court and stabilize our Northern Liang power!"
It's true that Xu Xiao dotes on Xu Fengnian.
But it depends on the situation.
For example, Xu Xiao had already made plans at this time.
Whether Xu Fengnian likes it or not, he must go on his travels!
"Xu Xiao, calm down and listen to me." Xu Fengnian had anticipated Xu Xiao's reaction.
While chewing on a goji berry, he said casually, "The Emperor's bestowal of this marriage clearly means he wants you, the Prince of Beiliang, to send a hostage so he can feel at ease."
"Once you give it to them, you will be subject to the control of the imperial court from now on."
“Not sending it, regardless of your loyalty, this action alone is enough to show that you have rebellious intentions.”
"You're in a dilemma, but between two evils, you choose the lesser. You'd rather bear the stigma of being disloyal than lose the power you hold, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiao frowned and nodded.
Xu Fengnian's ability to see this far was not surprising to him.
"Feng Nian, since you know how serious this is, why don't you get out of there quickly?"
Do it knowing you can't do it.
Xu Xiao was also feeling uneasy.
Could it be that Feng Nian has another idea?
"Xu Xiao, let me finish speaking first, don't rush to refute me."
"My decision is to go to the capital to marry Princess Suizhu."
First of all, if we go along with the emperor's wishes, no one will dare to accuse us of having rebellious intentions.
Secondly, if I go, will you really be at someone's mercy? I'm your weakness, but the question is, who dares to touch me?
I am the eldest son of the King of Northern Liang!
If anything happens to me in the capital, whether it's a so-called suicide or murder by martial arts figures, whatever the form, as long as something happens to me, you, the King of Beiliang, will have ample reason to lead an army of 300,000 to trample the capital and avenge the crown prince! The entire city will be adorned with Beiliang swords, and we will seize the supreme throne!
So, while I was in Beijing, they were protecting me with all their might, I was perfectly safe!
You must know that there is not only the Li Yang Dynasty and the Northern Mang in the world today, but also the Great Han Empire, the Great Qin Empire, the Great Tang Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Ming Dynasty, and so on!
The surrounding nations are like fierce tigers, eyeing us menacingly!
Li Yang is still counting on the more than 300,000 Northern Liang troops to guard the country! At this critical time when manpower is needed, who dares to touch me! Who dares to touch you!
If the Northern Liang Army no longer bears the surname Xu, then it is no longer the Northern Liang Army!
Only in the hands of you, Xu Xiao, and my Xu family, can the Northern Liang Army be a mighty force that sweeps across the world and tramples the earth!
Therefore, we won't wear the hat that implies dissent!
What if I go to the capital?
Who can stop you? Who dares to stop you!
With our massive army at our disposal, we have the power to overturn the table!
After saying this.
Xu Xiao was stunned on the spot!
He is not lacking in wisdom.
Instead, the thought of handing his son over to the capital as a hostage, and being controlled by others, filled him with a sense of crisis!
Concern leads to confusion!
Now, after listening to Xu Fengnian's words, I suddenly understand!
I couldn't help but slap my thigh: "That's right! I was confused! My son is much wiser!"
Just as he was about to laugh, Xu Xiao clicked his tongue again: "However, Feng Nian, this will be a hardship for you. It's easy to get into the capital, but you'll never be able to come out again, never have your freedom. You're only 12 years old, and your father really can't bear it..."
Hostages, hostages.
Once you're in, you think you can get out?
"Hehe, if this young master wants to leave the capital, who can stop him?" Xu Fengnian said with a faint smile, "I'll go to the capital and spend a few days with Princess Suizhu. That'll be enough for us men to show our loyalty. We've gone through all the formalities and procedures. What more does the Liyang royal family want?"
"When I, the young master, wish to leave, no one dares to stop me..."
Xu Fengnian reached out and shook his neck.
"I'd just fucking kill myself!"
"If they don't let me leave, I'll just kill myself. If they're not afraid of the Northern Liang army trampling the palace, then keep blocking my way!"
"Furthermore, while I'm away from the capital for my travels, the entire royal family will have to send a powerful force to protect me! After all, if anything happens to me, they will be held responsible! If they are responsible, you will have another excuse to send troops!"
Xu Xiao: ? ? ?
Is this okay?
Xu Xiao was completely dumbfounded!
But upon closer reflection, it really makes sense!
