Chapter 2759 2761 [Keep your word and do what you say]
Xiang Nan then paid a visit to Duke An.
At this time, Duke An Guo also heard about the return of the Ninth Princess, and immediately took Xiang Nan to the palace to discuss with the King of Xizhou the matter of the Ninth Princess''s coming to Beijing.
"King of Xizhou, the ninth princess''s entry to the capital has been delayed for so long. Now that the ninth princess has finally returned, it''s time to follow me to the capital." Duke An Guo said to the king of Xizhou.
The King of Xizhou nodded, "What Duke An Guo said is true, I will send people to prepare immediately."
“I won’t marry, I won’t marry, and I swear to my death I will never marry someone else.” At this moment, a wisp of red cloud rushed into the palace, and upon closer inspection, it was the ninth princess, Qu Xiaofeng.
"You are so outrageous! You have the final say whether to marry or not." When the King of Xizhou saw this, he slapped the table and said angrily.
??Said such words in front of the prince and envoys of Toyochao, wouldn''t it make people laugh and cause discord between Toyochao and Xizhou?
“Father, they destroyed Danchi, captured Aweng, killed cousin Imoyen and Heye, and also captured Adu... How can I marry Feng Chao?” Qu Xiaofeng cried.
“Shut up.” King Xizhou scolded.
"Ninth Princess, you only saw our Feng Dynasty conquering Dan Chi. Do you know how many times Dan Chi has invaded our Central Plains in the past hundreds of years? They captured our cities, robbed our people, robbed our wealth, and robbed our merchants... They can be said to have done all kinds of evil. .
When you were in Danchi, you must have seen Central Plains slaves who were regarded as cattle and horses. They are honest people, but they are so enslaved by the Danchi people. Doesn''t the Ninth Princess think they are pitiful?
The people of Danchi are so cruel, what''s wrong with us attacking them? Could it be that only Danchi people are human beings, and we Toyochao people are not human beings? Xiang Nan made an impassioned speech.
Qu Xiaofeng was stunned when he heard this.
I thought of the Central Plains slaves I saw in King Danchi’s tent. They were indeed imprisoned, enslaved, and whipped. Often because of trivial things, they are beaten all over their bodies, which is really pitiful.
?Hence, she suddenly had nothing to say and could no longer defend Dan Chi.
…
?However, Qu Xiaofeng really didn’t want to marry Toyo Chao, so he said stubbornly, “I promised Aweng that I will marry whoever can kill the White-Eyed Wolf King.”
“Nonsense.” When the King of Xizhou heard this, he immediately said angrily.
??King Tiedal has now been captured and taken to Shangjing to obey his orders.
? Xizhou wanted to break away from him, but felt that it was not done in time. Qu Xiaofeng still insists on his standards for selecting a son-in-law, which is asking for trouble.
?Besides, the daughter was born to him and raised by him, so why should King Tidar decide the ownership of his daughter?
"Is what the Ninth Princess said true?" Xiang Nan asked, "Don''t just delay it again and go back on your word, right?"
"Of course not. We Xizhou women always keep our word." Qu Xiaofeng said immediately.
“Seriously?” Xiang Nan looked at her and asked.
"What do you mean? Of course it''s true." Seeing that Xiang Nan didn''t believe him, Qu Xiaofeng immediately said angrily.
Although Xiang Nan had saved her before and showed extraordinary martial arts and courage, she was still upset that he dared to doubt her.
"Okay, in that case, let the princess take a look at this." Xiang Nan said, taking out a wolf head pickled with quicklime from the bag on his waist.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it. They didn''t expect Xiang Nan to carry a wolf head with him.
??Moreover, this wolf''s head is extremely huge, like a calf''s head, and its teeth alone are two inches long. You can imagine how huge and ferocious it would be if it were still alive.
"This is the wolf head of the White-Eyed Wolf King of the Western Region." Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.
“You think so?” Qu Xiaofeng said disdainfully.
"Ninth Princess must know that the White-Eyed Wolf King got its name not because its eye hairs are white, but because its left eye is white." Xiang Nan explained, "Everyone, look at its eye..."
?When everyone saw it, it turned out that the left eyeball of the wolf head was white.
?Qu Xiaofeng was also stunned. She heard King Tidar say that the most striking feature of the White-Eyed Wolf King is that its left eye is white. People in the world often mistakenly believe that the eyebrows of the White-Eyed Wolf King are white, so it doesn''t look like it even if they are faked.
“Why do you have its head?” Qu Xiaofeng asked in surprise.
She once heard someone say that no one could kill the White-Eyed Wolf King, so she used it as an excuse to refuse the marriage. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiang Nan took out the wolf head.
It’s such a slap in the face!
“It’s just a wolf, I’ll kill it with one sword stroke.” Xiang Nan curled his lips and said disdainfully, and then asked again. "So, is Ninth Princess going to break her promise?"
Qu Xiaofeng didn’t believe it at first.
??But when I think about it, when Xiang Nan killed the Shuobo people, he did it with one sword and it was extremely neat, no less than his master Gu Jian. It seems possible that the White-eyed Wolf King was killed by him.
Because of this, it is now difficult to repent.
"Okay, if that''s the case, then I''ll get ready right away." King Xizhou said immediately, "In ten days, we will officially set off, how about it?"
An Guogong nodded with satisfaction.
?Qu Xiaofeng wanted to object, but couldn''t.
…
"Thanks to the fifth prince for taking action today, otherwise things would have been more troubled." Duke An Guo thanked Xiang Nan.
"You''re welcome, Mr. An Guo." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "The ninth princess of Xizhou is just willful for a moment, but she actually looks very smart."
Gong An Guo nodded.
Xiang Nan then went to the palace to visit Princess Mingyuan.
“Auntie, have you been feeling better recently?” he asked with concern.
“Yeah.” Mingyuan nodded.
After taking the medicine Xiang Nan sent her, her symptoms were indeed relieved a lot. I used to cough up blood, but now I no longer have it, and even my breathing is much easier.
“Cheng Yin, you performed very well in this campaign against Danchi. My aunt is proud of you.” Mingyuan said with a smile.
This time Xiang Nan not only scouted the location of King Danchi''s tent, but also borrowed 100,000 reinforcements from Shuobo, and even led the light cavalry to capture King Tiedal alive, which was a great achievement. Moreover, the courage and strategy displayed are also amazing.
??If she were the emperor, she would definitely make him the prince.
"Thank you, aunt. Thanks to Mr. Chai''s help in this matter. Without his help, this battle would not have been so easy." Xiang Nan nodded.
"I''ve already thanked him." Mingyuan nodded.
"Well. Auntie, I heard that Concubine Xizhou intends to do evil to you?" Xiang Nan asked again with concern.
"It doesn''t matter, she is also a poor woman." Mingyuan waved his hand.
Concubine Xizhou’s mother country was destroyed, so it is understandable that she would want revenge. If it were him, if his mother country died, he would probably not be able to survive.
"Auntie, you should have someone by your side to protect you." Xiang Nan suggested. "Although Xizhou Concubine has been demoted to a commoner, she still has her power after more than ten years in the palace. I think it is better to let my cousin stay in Yanzhi City. , how about protecting you?”
Xiang Nan didn’t want Gu Jian to go to Beijing. Because when he went to Beijing, he couldn''t help but harass Qu Xiaofeng. Even if he is his cousin again, Xiang Nan can''t tolerate him.
Mingyuan was stunned.
She certainly knew about Gu Jian''s kidnapping of the Ninth Princess, and she also knew that Gu Jian''s move was a big mistake.
??But he didn''t expect that Xiang Nan already disliked him to such an extent that he didn''t want him to return to the capital, and naturally he wouldn''t reuse him.
Mingyuan sighed, then nodded.
