Chapter 268 What a great thing? A joke!

Author: Rongtu

"The emperor's oral order? Do you have proof?"

Xiao Gang took a step forward, his tall figure blocking Su Qingtian and Xiao Jingmo behind him. He has always been the backbone of the Xiao family and the Xiao family army, and now he is naturally the biggest supporter of his granddaughter.

Scanning the uninvited guests with murderous eyes, Xiao Gang asked coldly, "Without any evidence, how do I, the general, know whether you are falsely passing on the imperial edict?!"

"General Xiao."

Gu Mingxuan took a step forward with a proud look on his face, and bowed his hands politely, "My son's father is the current king of Jin, and this is the best proof that my son came to deliver the oral message in person!"

In Gu Mingxuan's opinion, his father's status in the Mo Kingdom should be as loud as a thunderbolt even in this border area, and any noble family or high-ranking official who hears the word "King of Jin" will obey him.

"That doesn't necessarily mean the oral instructions are true!"

Who would have thought that General Xiao did not retreat even a moment, sneered, and then said in a penetrating deep voice, "The King of Jin has been stationing troops privately for many years, and he has also dug up mountains and mines to refine refined iron in various parts of Shanxi."

"To do such a heinous and unethical thing so openly, your father must have become accustomed to falsely conveying imperial edicts!"

As soon as these words came out, all the guests present took a deep breath, wishing that they had been deaf for just a moment, but now it was too late.

How can little people like them hear the secrets related to His Highness Prince Jin?!

If King Jin gets angry and orders the massacre of Fengcheng, these people will really die unjustly!

Before the green-faced Gu Mingxuan could open his mouth to refute, the guests in the courtyard instantly dispersed, whirring past them, rolling and crawling out of the side door.

I'm afraid I won't be able to take another look at this Xiao Mansion in the future, so I must hide as far away as possible!

Xiao Nan looked in shock as several of her classmates, who were usually close friends, were dragged away by her elders. The other students were so frightened that they didn't even dare to make eye contact. They lowered their heads and disappeared into the courtyard of their house.

The originally lively banquet suddenly became deserted. The servants were caught off guard by the sudden change of situation. It was only the old housekeeper who winked that cleared all the irrelevant people out of the front yard.

Currently, there are only a few families that are particularly close to Xiao Mansion and still remain.

"Master Liu, Master Hu and the head of the Nangong family, you guys should leave quickly."

Xiao Hanyue lowered her voice and said to everyone, "It's a matter related to the imperial court. If you stay, you will only be implicated. Please go back first."

Mrs. Hu was holding her infant son tightly in her arms. The boy was babbling, grabbing his mother's collar and grinding his teeth. He couldn't understand the fear on his mother's face.

She looked at her Master Hu with a worried look.

As a serving official, Mr. Hu naturally understood how serious General Xiao's accusation was. He was about to say something but was interrupted by Liu Zifeng on the side.

He stood up clearly, glanced at Gu Mingxuan and the others, sighed slightly, then clasped his fists at Old General Xiao and turned around to leave.

The Hu couple looked at each other and had no choice but to leave quickly with their son in their arms. Although both of them looked apologetic, they really had no choice but to do so in the Mo country where the imperial power overshadowed the sky.

In the end, only people from the Nangong family stood firmly behind the Xiao family.

Nangong Zhen knew that it would be difficult for his family to survive for a hundred years, but he also knew that without the help of Immortal Su Xiao, the Nangong family might have been destroyed.

Today's scenery and glory, as well as the succession of descendants, are fundamentally the selfless gifts of Immortal Su.

Standing here now is just returning the life she gave to her benefactor.

Needless to say, the determination on the faces of the Nangong family can already be read.

Seeing that they were determined not to leave, Xiao Hanyue could only sigh secretly and stop trying to persuade them.

Su Lingxian looked at the guests who had dispersed throughout the courtyard and couldn't help but let out a series of chuckles.

"It seems that your Xiao family is just superficial."

Wiping away the tears from her eyes with her tender fingertips, Su Lingxian looked at Su Qingtian and said, "Sister Qingtian, if you really care about your mother's family, you should accept the imperial edict."

"You will marry the Snow King soon, and a glorious life of endless glory will be waiting for you in the future. Wouldn't it be more satisfying than living in this small place in the wilderness now?"

Seeing that Su Qingtian's eyes were completely untouched, Su Lingxian knew that her playful words had not hit the opponent's weakness.

A pair of big eyes glanced at the sons of the Xiao family and said suddenly.

"Your mother's family is a loyal family. The men are dedicated to the royal family and fight on the battlefield. As a child of the Xiao family, you now have a great opportunity to relieve the country's worries and marry into the Snow Country. Such a glorious and honorable good thing, how can you be so pushy and obstructive?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Xiao family immediately turned dark.

All countries know that the Xiao family is the largest and strongest patron saint of the Mo Kingdom. Almost all the men of the Xiao family are fighting on the battlefield for the Mo Kingdom. This is also the most important reason why the Three Kingdoms have been afraid of the Mo Kingdom for many years.

In addition, General Xiao has been a soldier all his life and has the title of God of War that everyone fears, which is the Xiao family's greatest honor.

Now, in order to quell the threats from other countries, the emperor actually asked the Xiao family's granddaughter to marry into the Snow Country. He really completely humiliated the entire Xiao family in front of the world.

Xiao Hanyue and others had already been aroused, and General Xiao also looked at Su Lingxian with anger in his eyes.

Su Lingxian feigned fear and hid in Gu Mingxuan's arms again, but she couldn't hide the successful smile in her eyes.

Su Qingtian knew that the boys in her family didn't even bother to talk to a woman, and Su Lingxian was just an adult, so she couldn't say anything.

She held Xiao Jingmo's hand and comforted him for a few more times. After noticing that the other party relaxed a little, Su Qingtian let go of her hand and walked to General Xiao.

"Since there is such a great good thing, why don't you get married?!"

Su Qingtian lost all her anger and looked at Su Lingxian with a charming smile, slowly exposing the other person's lies.

"There are no secrets in the world. The emperor first asked you to marry Prince Snow, but you cried and made trouble at home and refused to obey. In the end, your charming and charming mother encouraged Su Zheng to ask the emperor for this.

Oral instruction.”

Su Lingxian's eyes trembled slightly after everything was exposed.

Only family members in the mansion knew about such a private matter. How could she, a dead girl far away in Fengcheng, know so well?!

Could it be...

Her eyes quickly swept across the Xiao family across the street, but there was no one she expected to see in the crowd.

Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man in white sitting on a chair with a leisurely expression, holding a tea cup and sipping it leisurely. He looked at the Xiao family with a casual look, or to be precise, he was looking at Su Qingtian.

Su Lingxian's heart was shaken by the aura surrounding the man, which was like smoke and dust.
