After a while, Xiao Lingnan wrote a letter again, saying, "The reason why the previous dynasty was destroyed was that warlords in various places had heavy troops and did not listen to the call was the main reason. Today, we will unify and maintain permanent peace. All troops should be directly under the jurisdiction of the court." Not only did she write a letter, she also took the initiative to return the military power held by the Dingnan Prince's Mansion.

Emperor Taizu Long Yan was very happy and praised the ministers in the court for "Xiao Lingnan knows the general and is a loyal minister of the country." He also granted Xiao Lingnan's throne of Dingnan to be hereditary and retired with the country.

At this point, Xiao Lingnan became the leader of the Great Zhou nobles and had a great influence in the court.

But now the King of Dingnan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the middle-aged man opposite, but his eyes were softer: "Xingrong, you just saw the attitude of the eldest princess' mother in the mansion. I think this time the proposal may not be successful."

The middle-aged man disagreed: "The orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker, the one who can really decide the marriage is the emperor, the imperial concubine, and the empress dowager. The eldest princess and her mother must obey even if they have any opinions. Since the emperor has spoken, "The eldest princess is a disciple of the Goddess Palace and cannot marry a prince and a minister, my Li family will have a chance."

First, my father was a founding hero and possessed the title of Zhu Yangbo, and his status was quite noble; second, my family was far away from the court and became a martial arts family, which met the requirements of marriage. If the eldest princess married to my family, it would be considered a good match."

"According to what you said, the other four of your five major players in the capital are also very consistent." Xiao Lingnan refused to comment.

"So, please help me." The middle-aged man shouted "Ling Nan" kindly.

Xiao Lingnan sighed softly: "Although I have a good relationship with the Imperial Concubine, I have to interfere in the royal marriage and involve the martial arts sect. This is a taboo in the court. I have to be cautious and be careful, and I can only do my best. Besides, the eldest princess was born in the martial arts world, you should know that martial arts people like to act casually. He heard rumors in the palace that the eldest princess is stubborn and already has a crush on the empress dowager. He has many conflicts with the queen mother in the palace due to marriage, so you'd better not have too much hope!"

"Oh?!" This was the first time the middle-aged man heard about this, and was very surprised and asked anxiously: "Who is the person the eldest princess likes?"

"How could I know? But the eldest princess just came to Kyoto and could only be an old friend of Bashu." Xiao Lingnan said confidently and in a deep voice: "For example, the young leader of the Xiaoyao Sect I just saw, as far as I know, the mansion in the Goddess Palace rarely receives men, and the eldest princess will go to pick her up with the eunuch in person. The eunuch was obviously lying when he talked to me."

"Xue Chang from the Xiaoyao Sect of Bashu..." The middle-aged man chanted the name in a low voice.

Suddenly, Xiao Lingnan said quietly: "Xingrong, you haven't come to see me for decades. I rarely came to the door yesterday. I didn't expect you to be for your son..."

The middle-aged man felt ashamed and was silent for a moment before whispering: "The dog son is naughty, he cannot succeed in his writing and martial arts. If he can become the prince consort, he can also keep his life safe..."

"It's better to ask me to send him to the military camp and beat him for a few years, and maybe you can become a talent."

"The dog shouldn't be able to withstand that pain."

"A kind father is defeated, okay, I was sorry for you more than 20 years ago, so I will do my best to help you this time." Xiao Lingnan looked up at the roof of the carriage and said in a deep voice.

"Ling Nan, one code is one code. It was not your fault that you cancelled the marriage more than 20 years ago. No one expected that the emperor would let you inherit the throne. If it weren't..." The middle-aged man said a little excitedly: "If it weren't for my only son in the family, my father wouldn't allow me to marry into your family. Maybe today, I wouldn't have to worry about my children's affairs..."

"Okay." Xiao Lingnan's expression was still, but there was a hint of melancholy in his tone: "Let the past go over..."

……………………………………………………………………

"Please go and tell the eldest princess, and I will say that the leader of Xiaoyao Sect has arrived." Liu Yong said to the palace maid who opened the door and sent the two Dingnan Kings out.

The palace maid looked at Xue Chang's disciple curiously, then said, "Please wait for a while." She turned around and entered the yard and covered the door.

Several apprentices stared at the empty wooden door without blinking, looking forward to seeing the future master's wife, but suddenly saw a pink figure flying across the courtyard wall and rushing towards Xue Chang.

Xu Xi and others were shocked and shouted anxiously: "Master, be careful!"

Xue Chang saw it clearly, stood still, but opened her arms, and in an instant, the warm jade and warm fragrance were all over her arms. What was revealed in front of her was a face that was both angry and happy, and she was extremely beautiful. The extremely happy voice was filled with a little complaint: "Xue Lang, you are finally here!"

Seeing Luo Lanmeng in his arms, all the uneasiness and doubts in Xue Chang's heart were wiped out. He responded guiltily: "Bashu is too far from Kyoto, I'm late!"

"The martial arts competition will start more than ten days later. If it weren't for me, how could you come so early?" Luo Lanmeng took the initiative to defend him, and then looked at Xu Xi and others: "They are the apprentices you accepted by Xue Lang?"

Under the attention of the disciples, Xue Chang was embarrassed to continue hugging Luo Lanmeng. Although the feeling was really wonderful, he could only let go of his arms and said, "Yes, they were the first few apprentices I accepted. Lanmeng, I'll introduce them to you."

"Okay." Luo Lanmeng smiled sweetly, grabbed Xue Chang's right hand with her left hand and stood side by side with him. Although Liu Yong coughed several times, she ignored her.

"He is my first disciple, Xu Xi. Not only is he very talented in martial arts practice, but he is also a good assistant to manage affairs in the school." Xue Chang pointed at Xu Xi and introduced seriously.

Among Xue Chang's apprentices, Xu Xi has always been calm and self-control, but when facing Luo Lanmeng, who is so beautiful, he feels restrained and stutters, saying, "Xiaoyao Sect... The eldest disciple Xu Xi pays homage to the eldest son--" Before Xu Xi finished speaking, he saw that Luo Lanmeng had already frown slightly, and immediately changed his words and said, "Holy Master Luo!"

"Bold!" Liu Yong immediately scolded him when he heard this, but was scolded by Luo Lanmeng: "Liu Yong, shut up! If you interrupt again, don't stay in Yaohua Palace!"

Liu Yong had no choice but to bow his head and stand solemnly.

Xue Chang was slightly surprised. In his impression, Luo Lanmeng would not speak so strongly. It seems that the life of the eldest princess for more than half a year has still had a significant impact on her.

When Luo Lanmeng looked at Xue Chang, she still smiled and said, "Xue Lang, your apprentice is very clever, I like to hear the title of female hero."

Xue Chang understood some Luo Lanmeng's thoughts again, pointed at Fan Yu and said, "This is my second disciple Fan Yu. He is good at swordsmanship. Don't be honest, he is actually very smooth-talking."

"Master." Fan Yu said with a grievance: "How can you expose the disciple's shortcomings in front of your master's wife!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned. Even Xue Chang felt something was wrong. Liu Yong even widened his eyes, but when he remembered what Luo Lanmeng said just now, his face turned red, but he didn't say anything.

Only Luo Lanmeng's delicate face was flushed, but she smiled and said, "Xue Lang, your apprentice is quite greasy." But there was no sign of blame in her words.

Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little proud: As expected, the master's wife liked to listen to this.

At the same time, Xue Chang felt his right hand being clenched by Luo Lanmeng. He turned his head and saw Yiren's shy and expectant gaze, and his heart couldn't help but feel aroused. He then came back to his senses, softly said, pointing at Hu Qiudi, saying, "This is my third disciple Hu Qiudi, who is good at using swordsmanship. Although she is a woman, she is capable and has a masculine style."

Since Fan Yu had already set off the road in front, Hu Qiudi said directly: "Disciple Hu Qiudi greets Master's wife!"

"Okay! OK!" Luo Lanmeng smiled happily, looked at Hu Qiudi, and said inspiration: "I just sent away a queen who is called a female hero in the army. I hope you can become famous all over the world like her in the future!"

"I can do it, thank you, my master's wife!" Hu Qiudi responded without any modesty.

"This one is my fourth disciple and my sister Xue Yuting."

As soon as Xue Chang finished speaking, Xue Yuting couldn't wait to walk forward and said admiringly: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful, like a fairy! It would be great if my brother could marry you!"

Luo Lanmeng was so happy that she stepped forward and grabbed Xue Yuting's hands, looked at her and praised, "Girl, you are also very beautiful, you will look better when you grow up in the future."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, you can ask your brother."

When the two of them looked at Xue Chang together, Xue Chang could only nod, then quickly pointed at Xue Wu and said, "This is my fifth disciple Xue Wu. He is simple by nature and has a down-to-earth job."

Facing Luo Lan's dizzy eyes like a pearl, Xue Wu was so nervous that he fought up and down his teeth: "Brother... Disciple... Xue... Xue Wu... Meet... Master's wife..." It took him a long time to finish his words, and he lowered his head in shame.

Xue Chang immediately smoothed out the situation for him: "Don't look at Xiao Wu's introverted and shy nature, he has a good roots and bones. When he visited Shaolin Temple before, the Shaolin monks rushed to accept him as his disciple."

"Oh? That's really good." Luo Lanmeng responded with a smile, but there was still a hint of suspicion in his words.

"Sister-in-law, it's true!" Xue Yuting interrupted, "The emperor named Huitong from Shaolin Temple forced Xiaowu to stay. The master even fought with him. After finally defeating him, the monks from Shaolin Temple let us go-away-"

"Can you defeat Huitong?!" A familiar voice came from behind Xue Chang.

Xue Chang looked back and saw Elder Zhou Wanyao, who was the Goddess Palace, standing at the door, looking at him with complicated eyes. He hurriedly wanted to come forward to greet him, but he forgot that his hand was still being grabbed by Luo Lanmeng.

"Meng'er, when will you catch someone's hand? Don't let go!" Zhou Wanyao saw it and whispered.
