stand back, let me come

Chapter 1239: The Duke's Daughter [asking for a monthly ticket]

Wu Xian was very disappointed with his friend.

"If I tell you not to mention it, will you really not mention it?"

  How come he didn't know these people would be so obedient?

Wu Xian clenched his teeth, his cheek muscles tensed, and squeezed out word by word from his throat: "Xinnan is ready to fight Shen Youli to the death. If I had known this, would I have come here for my trip? It's better to go to the North Pole to see the Sky Eye!"

I heard that to the north of Mozhou, in the frozen land thousands of miles away, there are often colorful lights of various shapes appearing from the yin to the chen, and then the arrogance subsides.

Some colorful lights look like the eye in the sky.

Wu Xian had only seen it in folk travel notes and was very curious.

The former scout shrank his neck after being scolded, and the other members looked at each other, and then all looked at Wu Xian, hoping that the parents could make a decision. The girl mustered up her courage, stepped forward and gently stroked Wu Xian's arm: "Now that things have come to this, it's useless for my father to scold me."

Seeing her come forward, the former scout grinned.

He said, "Don't worry, sir. I'm sure this scout isn't that powerful, and the troops that sneaked over aren't that many. We discovered it early, so if we stay away carefully, we won't be discovered."

The daughter's comfort quickly extinguished her already small anger.

Wu Xian frowned: "So confident?"

The former scout said with embarrassment: "Ahem, I have been a little slack in the past few months and am not as sharp as before. If I could find them first like this, then... you can imagine."

There are no active scouts as vigilant as him who have retired.

You can experience it yourself to find out what level it is.

Wu Xian carefully stroked the hammer head with his palm, pacing hesitantly. The former scout winked at the others, and the others winked at Wu Xian's daughter - Wu Xian was okay in other aspects, but his wavering and lukewarm style was really annoying.

After receiving the signal from her uncle, the girl timidly grabbed Wu Xian's sleeve.

The pair of black and white eyes were filled with admiration, as if the purest light in the world fell into her eyes. Being stared at by such eyes, even steel would be softened to softness, not to mention that the girl had a face that was 60% similar to her biological mother.

Especially these two eyes, which look almost like they were carved from the same mold.

Wu Xian's love for this daughter was greater than that of dozens of other children tied together. She didn't need to say or do anything, just standing there could easily make Wu Xian calm down. He said, "Father is thinking about whether to turn back."

The girl froze for a moment.

The appearance of scouts means that the enemy is not far away.

In this situation, are you still hesitating whether to go back?

Wu Xian did not miss his daughter's reaction. He thought she was frightened by the situation and patted the back of her hand to comfort her. "Shen Youli conferred the title of Duke of the First Rank on your father and promised to ask for the title of Crown Princess for you. The title will be passed down to you in the future, but she..."

When it comes to this, Wu Xian's face twisted a little.

If it was just the four states of Shen, Wu, Tang, and Di, which were full of ambiguity, it would at most cause trouble for Wu Xian. For him, this matter would even have more advantages than disadvantages - that is, the parties involved knew that the "deep love between Tang and Di" was fake, but the outside world thought it was real and even the historians did not hesitate to praise this friendship. It is conceivable how people in later generations would praise it. After careful calculation, Wu Xian still made a profit.

  The main reason for his dissatisfaction was still this first-rank duke - Shen Youli posthumously conferred the first-rank duke on Gu Ren, and gave the same title to Wu Xian. It was not a day or two since she had been stingy, and Wu Xian had never thought about how well she treated him - but why was it that Gu Ren's descendants were allowed to descend after three generations, but he himself did not have this additional privilege?

Don't say that the chaotic world may not be passed on to the third generation. It's the same with or without "three generations of surrender". Can it be the same with or without? Is Wu Zhaode not more politically significant to her than a dead person? Wu Xian was so angry that his chest hurt when he thought about this.

But Wu Xian couldn't bring it up directly.

He asked for his daughter to be crowned as a princess, but Shen did not say anything, but simply agreed to Wu Xian's request. Wu Xian received the imperial edict from the inner court, and repeatedly asked for help, and only gave up after making sure there was no unnecessary expression. He got angry, asked Shen Tang for leave, and took his son, daughter, and his confidants on a spontaneous trip.

Wu Xian didn't believe that Shen Tang could still sit there like this.

As a result, this guy actually sat down!

  Without even moving your butt!

Wu Xian, the warlord leader who once fought against her, took the title of Duke of Kangguo and traveled around Kangguo with his troops after being defeated, but she didn't respond at all! Wu Xian thought she would be nervous and ask a few questions, and then he could get away with it, play the victim, and cry about the pity of parents in the world. If Shen Tang was "touched" by him and gave him the "three generations of surrender" treatment, wouldn't this matter be perfectly turned over?

But Mr. Shen didn't see the hint.

I don’t know if he is blind or pretending to be ignorant.

As the only second Duke of Kangguo, Wu Xian took the initiative to ask for his daughter to be the heir apparent. This was of great political significance. Why was it not worth a "three generations down"? In the future, the title would be passed to his daughter. As the first heir apparent in the history of Kangguo and even the mainland, Shen Youli would not look good if she was demoted to the throne? Wu Xian really couldn't understand.

The girl's face darkened when she heard this.

What Wu Xian mentioned was also what hurt her.

She has many half-siblings, some of whom have impressive cultivation aptitude. Everyone thought that Wu Xian would choose one of them as the heir to the title for the sake of the family's continuation, but Wu Xian chose her against all odds.

A daughter who has no aptitude for cultivation.

This decision made the brothers and sisters jealous and angry. They knew Wu Xian was partial but they didn't expect him to be so partial. Some of them simply turned to the outside family.

The remaining children could only accept the reality. There was nothing they could do if they refused to accept it. Wu Xian was in his prime, and although he was defeated by Shen Tang, he still retained a considerable portion of the family property. If they could get some of it out of their fingers, it would be enough for them to live a life of luxury.

The girl was not as open-minded as them.

She has no talent for cultivation, and will not be able to keep her title in the future.

She was unwilling to be a rich and idle person without knowing what was going on. She couldn't just pin her hopes on the next generation, hoping that one of them could turn the situation around? Her father, as a man, could have dozens of children, so he could always bet on someone who was qualified. But as a woman, she couldn't do that. The human wave tactic wouldn't work...

As a result, my depression became even worse.

These thoughts cannot be told to outsiders, especially Wu Xian.

She knew why her father favored her so much, but he was trying his best to make up for it by letting her miss her late mother Mi Kui. In order to maximize this favoritism, she naturally had to maximize her natural advantages. It was not enough to have similar looks, but also to have similar personalities as much as possible. Whether it was true or false, the most important thing was to gain benefits!

There was a faint gleam of water in the girl's eyes.

Lost and self-blaming, "It's my daughter's fault..."

If she had the aptitude to practice, she could keep her first-rank Duke title even without the "Three Generations of Descendants" and would not need any extra treatment. Wu Xian felt distressed when he heard this: "Talent is not something that can be solved by striving for success. You can only blame your parents."

Wu Xian added: "Blame my father."

Mi Kui is smart and clever, indeed much better than him.

The girl didn't dare to continue talking, but bit her lips with emotion, wanting to cry but not wanting to. Wu Xian's heart softened when he saw her like this: "Hey, leave the things that matter to your father."

These few words contained a huge amount of information. The girl was dumbfounded: "Father?"

Wu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly towards the direction of the enemy scouts' activities, and deftly played with the bone hammer with his fingers: "You also heard that these people are not elite, and they are not very dangerous. We are in the light, and they are in the dark, so we can take advantage of them if we take action."

  The enemy has already reached the border. No matter whether Wu Xian sends someone to report the news or takes a few heads for fun while reporting the news, no matter how big or small the contribution is, Shen Youli must take the credit! Wu Xian hesitated just now because he was weighing the benefits of both!

The girl grabbed Wu Xian's arm.

War is no joke.

Wu Xian had been idle for two years, and before that he was a pampered king. It was unknown when he would lead troops to fight. If he rashly went to the battlefield now, she was afraid that he would be in danger. This worry was not only about the loss of support, but also a bit of father-daughter friendship. When the capital of Gao State was on fire, their mother sent them out in advance. Although they saved their lives, they were worried and displaced along the way, which left her with an indelible shadow in her life.

"Father!"

The girl's voice became more trembling.

Wu Xian did not waver, but turned to look at his son. He said sternly, "A man should be upright and protect his blood relatives. Your father set a bad example before, so don't follow his example."

The young man's back stiffened for a moment, then relaxed.

He nodded solemnly: "My son will."

Their mother gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and now they are the only two left.

Wu Xian selected ten people to follow his children, and the rest followed him.

  He watched the twelve people disappear around the corner of the plank road, jump down from the back of the mountain, and disappear into the vast sea of ​​trees. Wu Xian no longer had any worries in his heart. He was seen waving the bone hammer in his hand, with the hammer head against the mountain wall. Danfu surged with martial energy, and he put on his full set of martial armor again!

At this moment, the back became straighter.

A long-lost sharpness burst out from his eyes.

The surrounding soldiers and confidants were all looking at him with excitement in their eyes.

  "Brothers, your swords are not rusty, right?" Wu Xian chatted and laughed while raising his hand to create a visor to cover his entire face, exhaling the foul air and throwing away the laziness he had developed over the years!

Everyone was so excited that their eyes turned red, and they responded in unison.

“No rust!”

"Grind three times a day, and it won't rust!"

Wu Xian was very satisfied with these answers, but he felt a little uneasy - compared with these old people, he had indeed relaxed too much over the years - fortunately, it was not easy for a martial artist to gain weight, so his waist did not swell to the point where his original size could not be seen.

“No rust!”

"It doesn't matter if it's rusty, just grind it with a bone!"

"Gentlemen, follow me!"

Wu Xian was the first to jump down the plank road, and after a few jumps, he was able to descend the mountain steadily. Behind him, dozens of people followed his steps one by one. Although there were not many of them, they were all brave warriors! In terms of fighting power, they were not inferior to hundreds of people!

At the same time, Wu Xian's children are also working hard.

The girl ordered, "Quickly inform the guard of the news!"

  They were not sure how many enemies there were!

Is it the vanguard main force or the reconnaissance outpost?

All of a sudden, all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. She could even hear her heart beating restlessly in her chest. Her hands and feet were cold. She seemed to be pulled back to the time when she fled the capital. She could still smell the lingering burnt odor.

The young man saw her hesitation and fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Just a few words gave her great courage.

She took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

As time went by, her complexion did not improve. When she passed the news to the garrison commander, her face turned pale and bloodless. She still said, "...This is what happened. General Yang, please send troops to support my father as soon as possible!"

It is no small matter for a first-rank duke to die on the front line.

Even if Wu Xian sneaked to the front line by himself and happened to detect the enemy's traces, and led dozens of people to attack the enemy's outpost for the sake of credit, which led to his death, the world would not believe it. They only want to believe what they believe! Compared with the so-called coincidence, the twists and turns of the plot are more eye-catching.

  Lord Shen doesn't want his reputation to be damaged, right?

The garrison commander was not surprised to see the enemy, but he was helpless that Wu Xian would be involved. If Wu Zhaode died in his own territory, he would be in big trouble: "Don't worry, my lady, I know about this matter. I will send troops to support Duke Lu and others."

Duke Lu is Duke of Lu, Wu Xian.

The original plan was to choose between "Gao" and "Wu" as both could be used and it saved the trouble of addressing him. However, considering that Wu Xian might bang his head against the pillar out of shame and anger, Shen Tang had to change it to "Lu", and only then did Wu Xian stop.

The girl burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, General Yang!"

General Yang did not accept her greeting: "My lady, there is no need to be so polite. If you think carefully, Duke Lu is also my benefactor."

The girl was startled, not knowing the origin of this connection.

General Yang sighed: "That was many years ago."

During the Battle of Xiaocheng, the princess was probably just born, so she naturally didn’t know about this past event. This General Yang was also an acquaintance, the former commander of Sibao County, Yang Gong. During the Battle of Xiaocheng, he burned himself to death and fought against Gong Xichou…

The result was no surprise; he was defeated miserably.

He was originally doomed to die, but was forcibly rescued by Shen Tang.

For many years after that, he lost his will and became an ordinary person. During the Heyin County period, he helped Shen Tang train his troops, but as an ordinary person, he could only do so much, and then he went to look after the shop; during the Longwu County period, he changed his job to guard the salt warehouse, and reunited with his daughter Yang Ying, and became more and more satisfied with his current life. As Shen Tang became more and more successful, Yang Gong became less and less important and was no longer needed.

He was also content to be a rich man.

only--

This body has finally decayed too much.

Burning the Dan Mansion was a desperate gamble, and the extra years he was able to live were stolen. In the past few years, his health became increasingly weak, and the doctors in the medical field were helpless. Doctors can only treat stubborn diseases, but cannot take away life from heaven.

He told himself to be content.

Yang Ying is already capable of setting up his own business, so they don't need him anymore.

But no matter how he comforted himself, the voice of reluctance became louder and louder, reaching its peak in the days when he thought he was dying! He still had too much to reconcile! He was unable to leave his broken body on the battlefield, and was unable to see his daughter Yang Ying get married, have a career, and have children.

  Are you willing?

Not reconciled!
