That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 117 Said that the marriage is still lacking a son-in-law

Some people may wonder, is Xu Beiyou, who has not reached the realm of ghosts and immortals, worth such a big fight in the Temple of Demon Suppression?

If Chen Ye, the number one figure in the Temple of Demon Town, could answer, his answer would definitely be worth it.

Because the status of Xu Beiyou today is quite different from before. He is the only orthodox descendant of Gongsun Zhongmou and even Jianzong. Seeking to manage contacts for most of his life, these incense and passion will still fall on Xu Beiyou in the end.

Now all parties are waiting to see if Xu Beiyou can get the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall in his hands. If he can, it will prove that Xu Beiyou is qualified to inherit the position of Gongsun Zhongmou, and then enter this intricate network of contacts.In other words, only when Xu Beiyou transfers all the incense and favor accumulated by his master to his own name can he be recognized by others. .

In addition, people like Han Xuan, Zhang Wubing, Xiao Zhinan, and Mutang have different attitudes toward Xu Beiyou, but no matter what, they are still willing to stand by Xu Beiyou's side, and none of them are good. The little people who meet each other, a former minister who is about to return to the temple, a quasi-first-rank military general who has been appointed as the left governor of the Northwest Army, a princess, and a powerful vassal, that is, the mountain of Daomen It's really too high, if it is another small sect, I am afraid that they will directly admit defeat in the face of these four people.

Sometimes even Xu Beiyou himself finds it terrifying when he recalls it. He would never have imagined that he, who was an unknown person not long ago, can now move his whole body with a single hair, and can affect the indirect struggle between the two big mountains of Taoism and the court.

Among the four, Han Xuan was undoubtedly the one who put himself in Xu Beiyou's shoes the most.

A few days before Xu Beiyou set off from the northwest, he told Xu Beiyou that he must capture Xiao Zhinan, no matter what means he used, even if the two of them had no marriage relationship, they would become allies.

Because there are not many daughters in the Xiao family, not counting the married daughters-in-law, there are only four of them, two eldest princesses, one eldest princess, one princess, and the three elder princesses are all married. The youngest princess is still in the boudoir. She is neither the aunt nor sister of the current emperor, but his own daughter. The love is very different, and this princess is like the empress dowager who died young. His Majesty the Emperor, who has been close to his mother since he was a child, probably has a considerable degree of empathy. From this point of view, the importance of this Her Majesty the Princess is even higher than those of the clan and vassals.

Every time Xu Beiyou thinks of this, he smiles wryly and is speechless. That Her Royal Highness Princess, who has been with His Majesty the Emperor since she was a child, has practiced in palaces and temples for many years. She is clearly a goblin who has transformed into a human form. This little Taoist priest who just learned how to draw talismans relied on this little skill to subdue the evildoers. Most likely, he would end up with no return, and he was the kind with no bones left.

However, Han Xuan’s words cannot be miscalculated from the root. If you can’t attack the frontal battlefield, you have to worry about it from the side. When Emperor Taizu was alive, he had a strong temperament. It is the same reason that Han Xuan asked Xu Beiyou to follow Xiao Zhinan's connection in order to invite this sister-in-law to come forward.

Now Xu Beiyou has not left Yanzhou, but Her Royal Highness, who left Liaozhou first, has already crossed the river and came to Jiangzhou.

Jiangnan and Jiangzhou are just one word apart.

In Jiangnan, Jiangdu is the head and Jiangzhou is the most important.

Unlike the Northwest, which is still snowing heavily at the moment, Jiangnan is already green with willows and willows. At a glance, the eyes are full of vibrant fresh greenery, which is really picturesque.

In addition to the scenery, there are two great talents in the south of the Yangtze River. One is the delicate lady and romantic beauty with the world's best appearance and talent, and the other is the ordinary celebrity and the seed of reading who are the best in the world in dancing and writing.When it comes to celebrities in the south of the Yangtze River, we have to talk about the major families in the south of the Yangtze River that are rich in celebrities.

If it is said that most of the military leaders are in the borderlands, and most of the civil servants are in the imperial capital, then most of the high-ranking families are in the south of the Yangtze River. The Xie family and the other high-ranking families are all rooted in the south of the Yangtze River, and their roots are intertwined.

After Xiao Zhinan came to Jiangzhou, he settled in Xie's family, which is known as the number one in Jiangzuo.

At that time, the competition in the world was like a big wave washing the sand. Xie Gongyi, the old patriarch of the Xie family, took a good look at Xiao Yu, who was just showing up at the time, and defied all opinions and bet the entire Xie family on Xiao Yu. In the end, Xiao Yu established the country and the Qi, The Xie family has also made a lot of money, and has jumped from a first-class family in the south of the Yangtze River to a top-notch family in the world, suppressing the limelight of the entire Jiangnan, almost comparable to the Murong family and the Ye family.

Xie Suqing, the original head of the Xie family, is the eldest grandson of Xie Gongyi. After his grandfather and father passed away successively, he took on the burden of the entire Xie family at an age when he was close to knowing his destiny. Xiao Xuan's peers, if they don't care about their status as monarchs and ministers, Xiao Zhinan would still call him Uncle Xie.

There is a light rain of apricot blossoms in the south of the Yangtze River, the white mist is as vast as light smoke, and many buildings are in the misty rain.

In a pavilion facing the lake, the two sat facing each other.

The woman is young, beautiful, with a gentle smile, without any indifference and arrogance due to her appearance or family background, blending with this drizzle, like a spring breeze.

The man is older, a standard Jiangnan celebrity, with a fair complexion, three long beards, and Danfeng eyes. It can be vaguely seen that he had a handsome appearance when he was young, with a gentle demeanor and a gentle smile, mixed with just the right kindness of the elders. Feel bad.

The woman held a lazy Persian cat in her arms, looked at the misty rain outside the pavilion, and said softly: "Jiangdu is better than Dongdu, I don't like the name Didu, but whether it is called Dongdu or Didu, that There are too many rules and regulations in the city, and even His Majesty the Emperor can't be at ease, but in Jiangdu, as long as you reach a certain height, you can be free, so it's no wonder that so many elders have to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River at every turn."

The older man laughed loudly, and said: "Your Highness has lived in the north for a long time, since you have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River this time, you should stay a few more days, so that this old man can show some kindness as a landlord."

Speaking of this, the man shook his head again and said: "I'm really old, my brain is not bright, is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's subject on the shore of the land, whether it is in the northwest or in the south of the Yangtze River, it is His Highness's home, where is it his turn?" The old man came to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Xiao Zhinan smiled and said: "Uncle Xie is serious. If the world is home, then it can only be the father. I am just a little girl waiting to get married. The so-called home is the princess mansion. I am here to visit Jiangnan. That's all."

Xie Suqing sighed softly, "Speaking of Your Majesty, he has worked hard on state affairs for these years. He went to Beijing last year and saw His Majesty, but it is not the same as before. After His Highness returns to Beijing, he must persuade His Majesty that his body is more important than anything else."

Xiao Zhinan nodded with a smile and said: "Uncle thank you for your concern, father is indeed no better than before in the past two years, but this year is better, his complexion is much rosier than before, and his spirit is not bad."

Xie Suqing nodded, pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Your Highness is here in the south of the Yangtze River, besides enjoying the scenery, do you have other things to do?"

Xiao Zhinan's smile remained undiminished, "Originally there wasn't, but when I was a guest at the Prince Liao's Mansion in Liaozhou, I met an interesting young man, so this time I came to Jiangnan to enjoy the scenery."

Xie Suqing's face was slightly dignified, and she asked, "Could it be that Xu Beiyou?"

Xiao Zhinan sighed: "It's him, Gongsun Zhongmou's apprentice, Han Xuan's adopted son, the current young master of the Sword Sect, the remnant of the Sword Sect who was hunted down by the Demon Suppressing Palace. This time, I came to Jiangnan to see how far he can go."

Xie Suqing was a little playful: "I've heard about Jianzong's affairs, if this young man can get Jianqi Lingkongtang into his hands, what will His Highness plan?"

Xiao Zhinan gently stroked the back of the Persian cat in his arms, and said flatly: "If he can take down the Sword Qi Lingkong Hall, he will have his own foundation. I, an old girl who is waiting to be married, still lack a son-in-law. I don't know if he Would you like to?"
