That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 342

The Tian family has no relatives, and the Tian family has no secrets at all.

Just as Empress Xu could easily know about the correspondence between Xiao Zhinan and Xu Beiyou, Xiao Zhinan knew about the conversation between the two of them on the tower the next day.

But Xiao Zhinan knew in his heart that this was a deliberate gesture made by his father, if he didn't want her to know, then she must know nothing.

Especially the phrase "The daughters of the Xiao family don't marry mediocre people" made Xiao Zhinan feel that this was what his father said to him on purpose.

It is true that since the establishment of the dynasty, the Xiao family has produced a total of four princesses. Except for the eldest princess Xiao Ru who died of illness early, the other two princesses married extraordinary people. Needless to say, the later founding master Wanyan Beiyue, No matter how bad Zheng Ai Emperor Qin Xian is, he is still the respect of the emperor.

Now it's Xiao Zhinan's turn, even if she doesn't have to follow the old marriage path like the two elders, she must not marry anyone at will.

Xiao Zhinan walked barefoot on the wooden floor with the white cat Banlan in his arms. The floor was supported by wooden pillars, about three feet away from the foundation. Walking on it would make a crisp sound, like drumbeats.

This corridor has just been built according to Her Royal Highness's wishes, and it will be washed with clean water every half an hour. Walking on it, the soles of the feet will feel cool.

At the end of the corridor is the study of Her Royal Highness the Princess. Since she returned to the imperial capital from Jiangnan, she moved her study here. There are purple bamboo forests planted around it, which seems a bit winding.

The study room is exactly the same as the corridor, you don't need to wear shoes and socks.

After arriving in the study, Xiao Zhinan sat behind the desk, and Ban Lan consciously jumped aside.

She rubbed her forehead and began to slowly sort out the changes during this time.

First, there was civil strife in the Taoist sect, and the dispute for the first disciple intensified.

Then there was the change in Jiangdu. After Zhang Zhaonu entered Jiangdu alone, the situation in Jiangdu became increasingly tense.

Especially after Xu Beiyou was attacked and killed, the confrontation between the two camps came to the surface. No one expected Xu Beiyou to be so courageous. He invited the Dragon King of Buddhism and Murong Xuanyin to Jiangdu successively to break through the Taoist workshop and expel Du Haichan, at the same time, traps and kills the Kunshan patriarch Zhang Zhaonu.

During this period, Xu Beiyou set foot in the realm of earth and immortality.

Then there is the continuation of the temple battle. Han Xuan, who looks like an old-fashioned and pedantic, made the second move. It was still the Jiangnan Army. Last time it was the left governor Chen Qiong, this time it was the right governor Liu Fan. The matter of Bai's collusion was revealed, and he was arrested by the Dark Guard and returned to Beijing. The only surviving right governor completely delegated power, allowing Yu Kuang to monopolize military power.

There is no doubt that Yu Kuang has already boarded Han Ge's big ship, and Xu Beiyou is also a person on this ship, which can be seen from the change in his father's attitude.

It's just that there are gains and losses, and Duanmu's family is afraid that they will fall to Sapphire.

But for Xiao Zhinan, this is good news. Once Duanmu Ruisheng boarded Lanyu's boat, Duanmuyu would not be able to marry a highness princess no matter what.

Xiao Zhinan sighed softly.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and Tianjia is no exception.

Each has its own set of difficulties.

A small family will worry about a few taels of silver, and a high-ranking family will also worry about their official career.

The same is true for the Xiao family of Tianjia.

Whose world is it?
On a larger scale, the world belongs to the people of the world.

At a young age, the world belongs to the Xiao family.

This is a truth that Xiao Zhinan has understood since he was sensible.

In the world, if you regard it as an object, then this object has experienced many owners, and it is unknown how many lives have died in order to fight for it.

Its last owner was surnamed Qin, and the Xiao family won the world from the Qin family in just a matter of sixty years.

Now the most difficult scripture for the Xiao family to recite is how to protect the world. Other matters such as Xiao Zhinan's marriage and disputes in the temple are, in the final analysis, all for the sake of reciting this scripture well.

As a member of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhinan couldn't completely stay out of it.

A sneer hung on the corner of Xiao Zhinan's mouth.

It would be fine if the Xiao family could unite as one, but unfortunately everyone has their own thoughts, including her, Xiao Zhinan, who is no exception. The so-called kings of the Xiao family can be seen from the word "Zhu".

Except for one Xiao Mahe, the other sects can't be counted on.

There is no trash in the direct lineage, but it is also because of being too outstanding that there are endless fights. Leaving aside the dispute between Xiao Bai and Xiao Li, there is also a king of Wei who is enough to break the wrist with the father. Xiao Jin.

And the gang of foreign relatives.

Two generations of queens have two relatives.

Today's Xu family is not well established, but the Lin family is the king of Khan who has dominated the grassland for many years. Long before the Xiao family won the world, the Lin family was already an eagle on the grassland. , but also borrowed the power of his wife and family.

Ever since the emperor's grandfather and emperor's grandmother passed away one after another, Lin Han became more and more arrogant day by day, making no secret of his ambition for the Central Plains.

Like Lan Yu, he is an old man who was in front of the late emperor, and now he is showing a tendency to perish, like a chronic illness, so what?
State affairs are difficult.

Xiao Zhinan leaned on the back of the chair, dazed.

After a while, she laughed at herself and said, "Why do you still think about the water that the married daughter poured out?"

Thinking of getting married, she couldn't help thinking of Xu Beiyou who was far away in Jiangdu.

It has been exactly two years since the two met for the first time in Taiping 20 years ago.

During these two years, Xu Beiyou grew from a penniless "bumpkin" in Northwest China to a well-known Mr. Xu in Jiangdu.

It was as bizarre as a dream.

If you can give him another two years, how far can he go?
Mr. Xu who is famous all over the south of the Yangtze River?Or is it the master of Sword Sect?

In all fairness, Xu Beiyou gave her a great surprise, and this surprise tended to continue to magnify.

When I met him for the first time, I only thought this young man was interesting, but he couldn't make her interested, let alone make her curious and in-depth, and even leave a mark in my heart.After all, there are too many excellent men in the world. Xu Beiyou is like a thriving green tree in the forest. Even if there are some differences, he will still disappear in the vast forest.

But this slightly different thriving green tree not only did not disappear in the vast forest, but instead had the posture of being more beautiful than the forest.

It is said that the tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, but several storms failed to blow down this tenacious young tree. Instead, it became stronger and took root in the fertile soil in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xiao Zhinan had to admit that she was a bit misjudged the first time, but she was a little complacent, and she didn't misjudged the second time, and firmly grasped Xu Beiyou.

It is true that Xiao Zhinan has met many excellent men, but she has not had much interaction with those men. Compared with the notorious and powerful princesses in the history books, she is very clean-cut and never does anything out of line.

She is also ignorant and clumsy when it comes to the word "emotion", but she conceals it well.

Xiao Zhinan suddenly became worried about gain and loss.

In the south of the Yangtze River, there is no shortage of beauties. With the rise of Xu Beiyou, there must be many women who will post them. Will he be tempted?

Men are all stealthy cats.
