Chapter 102 I would like to keep this sword in the world
The day after the birthday banquet, Xu Qingmu rushed to the palace to say goodbye to King Xu Yan.
King Xu Yan was somewhat reluctant to stay, and wanted Xu Qingmu to wait for the hereditary abdication ceremony of his son Xu Chengdi before leaving for the frontier. But Queen Cao on the side said:
"Your Majesty, there are a lot of wars going on in the border fortress, so it would be a good thing for Qingmu to go there for training."
King Xu Yan had no choice but to hold a banquet at noon to see everyone off.
A group of people gathered in the Queen's Qiuhe Palace and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch. Prince Xu Pei, Concubine Ye, and the two vassal princes all came here to attend the banquet. Shen Xiuqi finally came to Beijing for the first time. For the first time, I met Princess Xu Luo, who was dressed up for the occasion.
The rules of the feudal prince's palace are extremely strict. Even if he is the apple of Xu Yong's eye, Xu Luo is not allowed to violate the rules. Before getting married, he is not allowed to participate in any official affairs in the palace.
This family dinner to bid farewell to Xu Qingmu did not have too many restrictions.
The fat man looked at the thin-looking Xu Luo who was sitting next to Xu Chengdi and looked sluggish. As if he had made up his mind, he stood up and kowtowed in front of King Xu Yan and the vassal king Xu Yong:
"Your Majesty, Prince Changling, I have a request today!"
King Xu Yan looked at Shen Xiuqi with a smile on his face: "After enduring it for so long, you can finally bear it no longer?"
That night when the family of three was chatting over wine, Xu Qingmu told the story about Fatty and Xu Luo, and Queen Cao smiled with her face hidden, her eyes filled with happiness, as if she was talking about Xu Qingmu herself.
Changling King Xu Yong was confused and looked at Shen Xiuqi: "Tell me."
There was sweat on the fat man's head: "Go back to King Changling, I want to marry Princess Xu Luo!"
King Changling's face instantly darkened, but he did not get angry on the spot. After all, King Xu Yan was sitting next to him. Xu Yong snorted coldly from his nose:
"The Shen family's baby?"
When intelligence came from the frontier, it was said that Princess Xu Luo had a son of the Shen family who was often close to Xu Luo. Xu Yong did not take this matter to heart. After all, the Shen family, which has been doing business for generations, really I didn't dare to have any unreasonable thoughts about the vassal princess. But now it seems that this boy from the Shen family not only has no self-awareness, but is actually a bit jealous!
Xu Yong spoke again: "Why? You are from a business family? How can you protect my daughter's happiness for the rest of her life?"
Shen Xiuqi knelt on his knees, nervous but no longer afraid. The fat man raised his head and looked at King Changling: "I never thought that only through the family can I bring happiness to Princess Xu Luo. The reason why I am kneeling here now The reason for making this request is that I have taken the sword myself, and this is one of them."
The fat man turned to look at Xu Luo, whose face was cloudy and uncertain. The girl's eyes were even more sad.
"I don't have the foundation of those swordsmanship geniuses, nor the panacea to build my body. I first took the sword because of a promise, and now I take the sword because of love. I love Princess Xu Luo, and it will not change in this life, and this is the second one!"
Tears oozed from Xu Luo's eyes. Her Prince Charming was indeed not a genius, and he had just broken through the Sixth Realm. But whenever he encountered difficulties, the man in front of him, who was not tall and even a little fat, always Standing in front of her and saying to her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" The girl felt full of warmth in her heart.
It's like being close to a hot and warm stove on a cold winter day.
On the stove, I was boiling my favorite Pu'er tea.
King Changling's face was still a little gloomy: "I'm afraid these alone are not enough!"
Xu Yong's love for Xu Luo is known to everyone in Jinling City. He gets the wind and the rain. It was even rumored that Xu Luo only said "I want my father to become a horse" when he was a child. Xu Yong has already become one person. So he really crawled on the ground and crawled on the ground with Xu Luo on his back for the whole morning.
At this moment, the fat man was kneeling on the ground, clenching his hands and clenching his teeth. Apart from this, he really had nothing worth bringing up. At this moment, Li Chengru, who had been drinking, slowly stood up and faced Changling. Wang Xuyong made a bow:
"I wonder if adding me would be enough to qualify?"
After saying that, he lightly stamped his feet, and the invisible sword energy filled the air directly. The fluctuation was so great that it made the few bamboo groves in Qiuhe Hall rustle, and the leaves flew flying, falling on the earth built with a few stones under the bamboo grove. Wrap it up.
"Thirteen realms?"
King Changling frowned, looked at Li Chengru, and said in return: "I wonder who you are?"
Li Chengru, who had always been slovenly, looked at the fat man Shen Xiuqi with a bit of fondness in his eyes. Over the years, he seemed to have been a little harsh on the fat man, and he didn't even have a good face. But this little fat man, who was beaten and scolded at will, really cared about him. Okay. Now he spoke:
"Li Chengru. His master. This guy is one of my direct disciples."
The fat man's eyes were red. He had never called him "Master" before.
A master of swordsmanship in the Thirteenth Realm! Looking at the entire dynasty, there are only a handful of them.
Why can the Wang family be the first of the three surnames? Why can they settle in Chang'an Street in the capital? Why can the king of a country, King Xu Yan, personally hang a white cloth to express his condolences?
It’s not because the Wang family has an old sword cultivator in the Thirteenth Realm!
A teacher is a father.
If the thirteenth-level old man in front of him is really Shen Xiuqi's master, the influence he brings will be far greater than that of a Shen family. King Changling's thoughts were flowing, and although his expression did not soften much, he still stood there. He sat down and stared at the fat man silently, seeming to be thinking about something. After a long while, he said to the fat man:
"Prepare the bride price and ask your parents to choose an auspicious day to go to Jinling City."
After saying that, he no longer looked at the fat man who was kowtowing to express his gratitude, and his eyes wandered, thoughtfully.
The haze in Xu Luo's eyes completely dissipated. A few days ago, Xu Luo was banned from the palace by King Changling. He said that after Xu Chengdi's sealing was completed, he would find a good family for her. When she reached the marriageable age, it was time to consider life-long matters. .
At that time, Xu Luo was crying all day long. But now, everything seems to be getting better. Even the child who has been in the belly for three or four months seems a little happy. I don't know if it is an illusion. Xu Luo feels that this The child kicked her.
When he looked at the fat man again, his eyebrows were smiling. The same was true for the fat man.
Xu Chengdi looked at his father, his face softened from gloomy, and then gloomy again, but the corners of his eyes sank slightly, showing a smile. He immediately raised his wine glass:
"Future uncle, I'd like to toast you!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the table immediately relaxed, and everyone toasted to celebrate and said happy words one after another.
The crown prince is especially important.
A banquet lasted until about 2:30 p.m., when Xu Qingmu got up, said goodbye to King Xu Yan, and expressed his apologies for not being able to attend the hereditary ceremony of the crown prince. Xu Qingmu, who had just become the crown prince, said goodbye to everyone and got up to go Go to the frontier.
One year later, in that battle of heaven and earth, I absolutely cannot lose!
After being polite, at the intersection of Chang'an Street, the young man faced north and turned his back to south, and whispered softly to the side pointed by Fu Xiansheng:
"Let's go, Master!"
The wind moves people's clothes like banished immortals, and a handle of sorrow points to the world!
The sky is big and the earth is big. I, Xu Qingmu, am willing to guard the world with my sword at my waist!
The breeze is always with you.
............
As soon as the car exited Chang'an Street, urgent calls came from behind.
"Brother Xu, wait for me..."
Xu Qingmu turned around and saw Wang Shuai, the head of the Wang family, sweating and panting. When he caught up with Xu Qingmu and others' carriage, Wang Shuai's face turned red and he was out of breath:
"Tired...I'm so exhausted..."
Xu Qingmu was a little surprised. The youngest generation head of the Wang family, and a proud son with a century-old inheritance in the family, shouldn't be protected by the whole family, sitting peacefully in the palace, scolding Fang Qiu? Why is he in such a panic now, as if he is fleeing?
Then he spoke: "Brother Wang Shuai? What are you doing..."
Wang Shuai finally calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief: "Go to the border fortress."
Prince Yi.
Xu Qingmu knew clearly in his heart that what Wang Shuai said in the underground city that day was not spoken quickly, but from his heart. But would the Wang family let Wang Shuai leave so easily? Or should they be so relieved?
There were questions in her mind, but Xu Qingmu did not ask, but just invited Wang Shuai to get on the carriage.
After arriving in the car, Wang Shuai mysteriously took out a pale yellow ancient scroll from his backpack. After unfolding it, Wang Shuai laughed:
"As a courtesy, you give me a ride to the frontier, and I give you a great opportunity!"
Xu Qingmu was a little curious. The drawings he saw were blank. The paper was yellowish and had an ancient atmosphere, but there was no pattern or text. Wang Shuai was even more proud: "Don't look at it. There is nothing on it now. As long as it is painted with secret paint,
You can reveal maps one by one, maps leading to the secrets of this world!"
Speaking of this, Wang Shuai's face lit up!
"Fortunately, I am one of the deacons in the underground city, so I spent a lot of money to get this 'Weird Chronicle'. Back then, I was almost beaten to death by my ancestors because of this picture!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and patted it: "Red carp, bring me the potion!"
No one paid attention.
"Red carp...? Damn it!"
Wang Shuai suddenly jumped up and looked behind the carriage: "Running too fast, I was thrown by the red carp!"
Xu Qingmu had a dark look on his face, but he had long been used to it. The iron armor with eighteen locks in the underground city had made Xu Qingmu accustomed to the unreliable head of the Wang family in front of him.
Wang Shuai quickly jumped off the carriage and ran quickly to the rear, shouting as he ran: "Meet you at the city gate behind Chang'an Street!"
Xu Qingmu looked at Wang Shuai's personal belongings that he had put in the car, including the "weird will" whose origin was extremely difficult, and he smiled knowingly. This Wang Shuai was really relieved of himself.
.......
When Wang Shuai got on the carriage again, Hong Li's face turned livid, biting his lips and saying nothing. Wang Shuai seemed to be neither sitting nor standing:
"I'm sorry, Sister Hongli, go back and I'll go to the dungeon to get you the best bracelet, okay?"
Wang Shuai licked his face and kept apologizing.
Hong Li snorted coldly and turned around to go to the carriage of Cao Tong's group of girls. Wang Shuai, Xu Qingmu and others were left alone in the carriage.
Fu Xiansheng saw Hong Li get off the carriage, and he wandered up leisurely until he saw the weird amulet spread out in the middle of the carriage, his eyes lit up: "Boy, where did this good thing come from? This is not easy to see, it is a real treasure.
ah."
Wang Shuai looked a little arrogant. Seeing that this man was only twelve or thirteen years old, he was afraid that Fu Xiansheng would be careless and damage this treasure, so he immediately said:
"Let the children play and don't get involved in adult matters."
"..."
Xu Qingmu counted silently in his heart:
"one"
"two"
"ah--"
Before the third sound could be counted, Wang Shuai, the youngest head of the Wang family in the history of the Wang family, who was praised by the world as a rare inherited genius, flew away from the carriage and landed behind the carriage a hundred feet away in a daze, muttering to himself.
Said:
"It seems like he was kicked by that child?"
Fu Xiansheng in the carriage was still angry, lowered his head and cursed:
