"But I will tell you when we get to the hall in a bit. Don't ask me any more questions now. Come in."
After saying that, Li Yishan quickened his pace, no longer paying attention to Chu Lushan and Xu Yanbing, who had extremely solemn expressions, and followed Ying Chen into the hall.
.........
......
...
As soon as he entered the hall, Ying Chen found that it was just as he thought.
Not only Xu Xiao and his two daughters and one son were there, but also almost all the top leaders in the entire Beiliang.
People like Chen Zhibao, Yuan Zuozong, Qi Dangguo and others have all arrived.
After seeing Ying Chen stepping into the hall, Xu Xiao, who was sitting at the top seat, quickly stood up and greeted Ying Chen.
Logically speaking, Xu Xiao didn't need to go to greet Ying Chen. After all, Ying Chen was married to his daughter Xu Zhihu, so Ying Chen was naturally his junior.
But Ying Chen at this time is more than just that. He also represents the Great Qin Empire behind him, which is a powerful empire that Xu Xiao has to take seriously.
And the most important point is that Ying Chen has done a great favor to their Xu family.
If it weren't for Ying Chen, he didn't know how many years he would have been deceived by Li Yang.
It was in vain that he had always believed in Li Yang and asked people in the court to help him investigate.
Xu Xiao couldn't help but grit his teeth when he didn't think about the years he had been deceived.
"King Xu Xiao of Beiliang, thank you Master Yingchen for your great kindness to Beiliang."
When Xu Xiao walked in front of Ying Chen, he clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and expressed his gratitude.
"Your Majesty is polite, but we each take what we need."
Ying Chen did not act arrogantly and simply turned sideways, not fully accepting Xu Xiao's gift.
After all, he will still have to rely on Xu Xiao's Beiliang Army to contain Liyang in the future, and no matter what, Xu Xiao is his father-in-law and his elder.
Seeing that Ying Chen was not arrogant because of his favor, Xu Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
His first impression of Ying Chen was instantly very good.
He has a distinguished family background and is the third son of the Qin Empire.
As for appearance, there is nothing to say.
Even though Xu Xiao loves his son, he has to admit that no one in the entire Beiliang, even his own son Xu Fengnian, is as handsome as Ying Chen.
As for strength, there is no need to mention it.
Being able to kill Zhao Huangchao, the ancestor of Liyang who had lived for more than a hundred years and was at the half-step heavenly realm, single-handedly with a sword at the age of eighteen, his strength is naturally unquestionable.
At this moment, the only thing Xu Xiao was worried about was whether Ying Chen in front of him had any strategies.
Did he also have the idea of overthrowing the rule of his brother Ying Zheng and taking control of the Qin Dynasty?
These two points are crucial to the choice he will make.
No matter what, Xu Xiao would choose to marry his daughter to Ying Chen.
It is both a way of repaying a favor and a marriage alliance.
As for his daughter's thoughts, Xu Xiao could only say that this was a kind of helplessness that came with being born in the Beiliang Palace.
But if the last two points, strategy and ambition, are not met, then Xu Xiao will not choose to be too close to Ying Chen.
After all, the current king of Qin is Ying Zheng.
To whom will they, Liyang, be loyal in the future, be King Ying Zheng of Qin, or the third son of the Qin Empire, Ying Chen?
This is very important. After all, if you stand on the wrong side, there will be no recovery.
Therefore, the main purpose of today's banquet is to test what kind of person Ying Chen is.
On the other side, Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong, who were sitting behind the second desk to the right of Xu Xiao, were also silently observing Ying Chen.
When the two saw Ying Chen coming in, their eyes lit up.
After all, they had never seen Ying Chen before. Although they had heard of Ying Chen's legend, they didn't know what he looked like.
Now when I see this handsome and elegant young man.
Even if it was decided long ago.
Xu Zhihu, who was determined to marry him no matter what the other person looked like, whether he was vulgar or mean, couldn't help but feel relieved.
After all, there are choices, and who wouldn't want her husband to be a hero?
"Is this my brother-in-law?
"In terms of appearance alone, there are probably few people who can compare with him even in the entire Liyang."
"I have passed this first level."
Xu Weixiong looked at Ying Chen and couldn't help but be amazed and inexplicably envious.
With Xu Weixiong's intelligence, it is impossible that she was unaware of her future marriage, nor could she decide for herself.
Therefore, it is unknown what kind of person she will marry in the future, or even whether she will sacrifice her life to protect the entire Beiliang.
Now that I see my elder sister marrying such a good man, I can’t help but feel envious.
At this time, Xu Zhihu said slowly and softly: "There is no such thing as the first level."
"Even if he is ugly, I will still marry him, just for Beiliang."
At this time, Xu Weixiong grabbed Xu Zhihu's hand and shook his head gently.
"That being said, as a younger sister, I naturally want my sister to have a better future."
"He has passed the test of appearance, but I don't know if he is just a pretty face or a real talent. I'll let my younger sister test him for me later."
Hearing Xu Weixiong's words, Xu Zhihu quickly shook his head.
"Sister, don't make trouble. Listen to father's decision in everything, so as not to make Master Yingchen angry."
Xu Weixiong patted his sister's hand and comforted her.
"Don't worry, my sister knows her limits and won't hurt the relationship."
"And I think my father would also want to know what kind of person Ying Chen is."
"Otherwise, the entire Beiliang high-level officials would not be gathered here."
Hearing this, Xu Zhihu hesitated.
After all, she also wanted to know what her husband was like.
After all, that was the person with whom she would spend the rest of her life.
"But..."
But Xu Zhihu still instinctively did not want to test it. He was willing to trust his future husband.
Therefore, she wanted to persuade him again.
Xu Weixiong held her hand and shook his head.
.........
......
...
At this time, in the center of the hall.
"Sir, you are tired from traveling all the way. I think you should stop standing. Please take a seat."
Xu Xiao took the initiative to pull Ying Chen and took him to sit behind the first desk on his right.
As soon as Ying Chen sat down, he looked to his right.
There were two women.
A man wearing a blood-red robe, looked straight ahead and did not turn to look at Ying Chen.
The other woman, who was wearing a white and green Confucian robe, looked at Ying Chen with burning eyes full of curiosity.
And it was also the first time that Ying Chen met the two princesses of Beiliang.
Therefore, he also looked at the other person curiously, sizing up the other person's appearance carefully.
After all, she was his future wife.
The first thing Ying Chen looked at was naturally the person in red.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, with an exquisite and flawless face. Her snow-white skin seemed to radiate light, as if she was a beautiful fairy bestowed upon the world by God.
Especially her eyes, deep and bright, like two shining stars, seem to be able to capture anyone's heart.
Her long eyebrows outline a perfect arc, complementing her high nose bridge.
Her lips were soft and red, slightly upturned as if in a smile.
In addition to her outstanding appearance, the woman's temperament is also extremely noble.
The straight and tall posture reveals confidence and pride, making people dare not have the slightest thought of blasphemy.
Set off by a gorgeous red dress, every move she makes is full of charm and elegance.
The Confucian-clad woman next to Xu Zhihu, Xu Weixiong, could not compare with Xu Zhihu's beauty, but she could also be considered pretty.
The elegant temperament she exudes can even make people ignore her appearance.
Her face had a peaceful and tranquil beauty, her eyes were bright and gentle, and her eyebrows were slightly raised, giving people a feeling of friendliness and wisdom.
Her long hair falls on her shoulders like a waterfall, exuding a fresh scent.
A white and blue Confucian robe, simple yet elegant, reminds people of the purity and tranquility between the breeze and the bright moon.
And just as Ying Chen was looking at the pair of Beiliang princesses, Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong.
Xu Fengnian, Li Yishan, Xu Yanbing and Chu Lushan have also taken their seats.
Xu Fengnian and his younger brother Xu Longxiang sat on the far left of Xu Xiao.
Li Yishan sat next to Xu Fengnian with the puzzled Xu Yanbing and Chu Lushan, and whispered something in their ears.
Seeing that everyone was present, Xu Xiao clapped his hands.
In an instant, everyone fell silent and looked towards Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao cleared his throat and said loudly: "Today's distinguished guest is the third son of the Qin Empire, Young Master Ying Chen."
"At the same time, Master Ying Chen is also my, Xu Xiao's, son-in-law."
"Today, I would like to ask everyone to be a witness!"
"I will betroth my eldest daughter, Zhihu, to Master Yingchen to form a happy marriage. This also represents the good relationship between Beiliang and Daqin!" (Okay)
As Xu Xiao finished his words, warm congratulations rang out from the audience.
"Congratulations to the prince for finding a good husband, and congratulations to the eldest princess for finding a good match!"
They had all been informed by Xu Xiao in advance, and naturally knew what their prince's purpose was today.
Therefore, there will naturally be no accidents.
After Xu Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Ying Chen and said, "My dear son-in-law, from now on, treat Beiliang as your home. Don't be polite."
"Don't worry, father-in-law."
Ying Chen naturally would not refuse, after all, this was his purpose.
With the help of his relationship with Xu Zhihu, he would be able to completely seize power in Beiliang without bloodshed in the future.
When Xu Xiao heard Ying Chen's words, he laughed out loud.
"This king has always been worried about Zhihu's lifelong event."
"But today, I can find such a virtuous son-in-law for Zhihu."
"A hundred years later, I will be able to go see Zhihu's mother with peace of mind."
After saying that, Xu Xiao picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Then, he clapped his hands again.
