Myth: Xianwu Tang Dynasty

Chapter 55 Nanguo Duke’s Mansion
After staying in Linyuan Study for more than an hour, and then bidding farewell to Wang Yanlin, Song Xiuwen, and Du Fu, Bai Yuxian returned home and started practicing for the day.

At this time, a small group of soldiers and horses galloped into the city from outside Chang'an City.

"Drive! Drive!"

"Get out of the way, get out of the way of those in front."

After the soldiers and horses entered the city, they were still galloping all the way.

The leader was a tall, imposing middle-aged man wearing armor.

"It's General Nangong."

"General Nangong has returned to Beijing."

Someone soon recognized that the middle-aged man leading the group was none other than Nangong Che, the third-rank Yunhui general of the current dynasty, who was leading the army.

At the same time, Nangong Che was also the legitimate son of Nangong Yuntian, the old Duke of Nanguo Palace at that time, and the entire Nanguo Palace was one of the top princes and dignitaries in the Tang Dynasty.

"The general is back."

"Go get the horse quickly."

"General."

Not long after, Nangong Che returned to the Duke of Nan's Mansion, handed the war horse to his servants, and quickly entered the Duke's Mansion, and then rushed to a study room in the Duke's Mansion.

"Father."

In the study, Nangong Che bowed to an old man who looked very old.

The old man was none other than Nangong Che's father, Nangong Yuntian, the old Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

When the former emperor Li Longji ascended the throne, Nangong Yuntian was a general of the Tang Dynasty. He assisted Li Longji in ascending the throne and eradicated Empress Wei, Princess Anle and others. He had contributed to Li Longji's support and obedience to the dragon, so Nangong Yuntian was also granted the title of Duke of Nanguo.

"Back." Nangong Yuntian looked at Nangong Che and nodded slightly, but there was no emotion on his face.

"I wonder what important matters my father has when he calls his children back to Beijing this time?"

Nangong Che looked at his father in confusion, because the main reason why he returned to Beijing this time was to get a letter from his father asking him to return to Beijing as soon as possible, but he did not say what the reason was.

"Do you still remember, Bai Qingfeng?"

"Bai Qingfeng?"

Nangong Che's expression changed when he heard this, with a look of doubt on his face.

He naturally remembered Bai Qingfeng. In the past, Bai Qingfeng was the best among his peers with both civil and military skills. He had unlimited fame, even though he was slightly weaker than him.

It's a pity that he died in battle and failed to fully grow up. Otherwise, if Bai Qingfeng could survive to this day, his achievements would probably not be lower than his.

And speaking of it, he and Bai Qingfeng had a good relationship at the beginning, and they even made a verbal appointment to marry each other while they were drinking together.

At that time, Bai Qingfeng gave birth to a son, and he happened to give birth to a daughter, so the two arranged a verbal baby kiss.

But when the Turks invaded and Bai Qingfeng died in battle, the verbal marriage was naturally invalidated, and he never mentioned it again.

After all, the main reason why they decided to get married was because of Bai Qingfeng.

"Brother Bai has been dead for more than ten years, why would my father suddenly mention this?" Nangong Che couldn't help but look at his father in confusion.

"More than a month ago, in the Imperial College Entrance Examination, a child from the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion was admitted to the Imperial College. He was ranked No. 1. His name is Bai Yuxian."

"Bai Yuxian?"

Nangong Che was stunned when he heard the words. He felt that the name seemed familiar, and then some dusty memories deep in his memory were quickly recalled.

"It's Brother Bai's son!"

He remembered that Bai Qingfeng's son was not named Bai Yuxian.

"That's right." Nangong Yuntian nodded: "And according to the information collected, this Bai Yuxian is not only outstanding in talent, but also has extraordinary talent in martial arts. It only took less than two months for him to become an ordinary person's martial arts master. territory."

"Hiss, I won't be able to get started in martial arts for two months!"

Nangong Che took a breath of air.

As a martial arts master in the martial arts spiritual realm, he knows the concept of getting started in martial arts in less than two months.

His own talent in martial arts can be called a genius, but it took him more than a year to get started in martial arts and enter the Qi and Blood Realm.

But Bai Yuxian has only been around for less than two months. With this talent, he may have great hope for martial arts and supernatural powers in the future.

The most important thing is that he has both civil and military skills, and now he has been admitted to the Imperial College.This kind of talent is definitely better than Bai Qingfeng's back then.

If such a talent comes from their Nangong family.

hiss--!

In an instant, Nangong Che had a realization and somewhat guessed what his father was thinking.

"My father's intention is to follow the original marriage agreement and let Xue'er and Bai Yuxian get married."

Nangong Yuntian nodded. He was a little confused when he first saw Bai Yuxian's name. The Bai family of Wuhou Mansion is now sunset, and each generation is worse than the last. Many dignitaries in Beijing even speculated that the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion might not be able to survive. The next generation is about to fall. When did such a young talent who could be admitted to the Imperial College suddenly appear?

As a result, after finding out the specific information about Bai Yuxian and thinking about this marriage, Nangong Yuntian immediately became interested.

Naturally, Nangong Yuntian also knew about the verbal marriage between Nangong Che and Bai Qingfeng back then. However, after Bai Qingfeng died, the remaining orphans and widows of Bai Yuxian were naturally not qualified to be compared with their Nan Guo Gongfu.

Therefore, after Bai Qingfeng's death, the marriage between Nangong Che and Nangong Yuntian was not mentioned again.

But now that Bai Yuxian has suddenly emerged and shown such extraordinary talent and potential, this marriage is naturally very promising.

If they could recruit such an outstanding son-in-law as Bai Yuxian, they would naturally be very willing to do so.

"In this case, you can go to the Bai family tomorrow with a greeting card, mention this matter, and see what the Bai family means."

Nangong Che immediately took a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

Bai Yuxian actually has such talent and potential.

If this is the case, then this marriage is indeed worth it.
-
"Young Master Jade Fairy."

"Young Master Jade Fairy."

Early the next morning, Bai Yuxian got up early as usual and went to the martial arts hall to practice.

Along the way, people in the mansion saluted him respectfully.

Bai Yuxian found that the situation in the mansion seemed a little different today. Everyone he met was in a hurry and seemed to be preparing for something.

"What happened in the house? Everyone is in such a hurry?"

Seeing this, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but find a boy and asked.

"Going back to Mr. Yuxian, General Yunhui of the Duke of Nanguo Mansion sent a greeting card just the morning before, saying that he would come to the mansion to visit the old lady this morning. The old lady attaches great importance to this matter and has just issued an order for everyone in the mansion to be here. Prepare for this."

The boy replied.

But just early in the morning, the Duke of Nanguo sent a greeting card. General Yunhui of the Duke of Nanguo was coming to visit Mrs. Bai this morning.

After learning about this matter, Mrs. Bai took it very seriously and quickly ordered everyone in the house to prepare.

"Nanguo Duke's Mansion."

When Bai Yuxian heard the words, he immediately understood and thought, "No wonder."

This Duke of Nanguo is one of the top princes and dignitaries in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty.

Although they are both nobles of the Tang Dynasty, the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion is much different from the Duke of Nanguo Mansion.

Just in terms of level, one is a Marquis' Mansion and the other is a Duke's Mansion. Their Wuhou Mansion and the Bai Family are one level lower than Nanguo's Mansion.

Not to mention that the current Nanguo Duke's Mansion is still at its peak. Nanguo Duke is still alive and plays a decisive role in the entire Tang Dynasty army.

But the Bai family has long been in decline.

General Yunhui of the Nanguo Duke's Palace is the future heir of the Nanguo Duke's Palace. Nangong Che, the legitimate son of the Nanguo Duke, is also a third-rank general of the imperial court and leads the army.

In terms of status, Nangong Che is only higher than Bai Zhengdu, the current head of the Bai family.

In this case, Nangong Che wants to come to visit, and it’s no wonder that Mrs. Bai takes it so seriously.

However, Bai Yuxian had some doubts in her heart. The status of Nanguo Duke's Palace was not comparable to that of the Bai family of Wuhou Palace today, and the two families had never had any relationship.

How could Nangong Che suddenly come to visit in such a situation.

I have some doubts in my heart.

However, Bai Yuxian didn't think too much. He just thought about it for a moment and then put it behind him and walked towards Wutang.

For him, the most important thing at the moment is to continue working hard to improve his strength, and there is no need to pay attention to other things that have nothing to do with him.
