When the servant heard this, he quickly went to inform Butler Liu.
After a while, Butler Liu came out. He still had some eyesight. The young man with eyes on the top of his head looked like an ordinary person at first glance, but he was standing behind the old Taoist priest. This showed that this young man who looked inconspicuous but also had a ruthless spirit.
The old man is a real person.
Butler Liu immediately ran down the steps and bowed: "The Taoist Master is here for my prince?"
The old Taoist priest nodded arrogantly. Butler Liu saw that he was not a good person and thought about the people coming and going on the street, so he invited the two of them into the palace.
"You two, please come over here," Butler Liu led the two of them into a flower hall where guests were entertained, and said, "Please wait a moment, go down and report to the prince."
"Go." The old Taoist priest waved his hand.
As the chief steward of Prince Xuan's Mansion, Butler Liu had not encountered such a situation for a long time, but he still went out with a smile.
As soon as he went out, his face darkened, and he hurried to Rong Che's main courtyard. He had a premonition that these two people were not good-natured, and they were not easy to mess with.
Today, Zhizhi was guarding the door. Butler Liu asked, "Has the prince ever come out?"
Contentment shook his head: "I only ate one meal of the food delivered today. The prince was at the table, not sure whether he was reading a book or drawing."
Butler Liu sighed and said: "Let's go and prepare the clothes for the prince to meet the guests. There are uninvited guests."
The two of them walked through the yard and came to the door of the main room. Butler Liu gently knocked on the door, but there was no sound from inside.
Butler Liu knocked on the door again and said, "Your Majesty, we have a visitor in the front hall."
Rong Che's face was not haggard, but a little pale. When he heard Butler Liu's voice, his face still had no expression, but a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes. However, he knew that Butler Liu must have something important, so he sat quietly for a moment before getting up.
He walked towards the central hall, sat down on the imperial chair and said, "Come in."
Butler Liu opened the door and walked in, reporting: "Your Majesty, Taoist Priest Youwei has brought a young man here, claiming to be for your marriage, Your Majesty."
Rong Che's eyes flickered, he lowered his head and thought: "My king's marriage? A matchmaker? That shouldn't be the case."
"Uh..." Butler Liu thought about it for a moment and said very pertinently: "It doesn't sound like a matchmaker, but more like someone looking for trouble."
Rong Che asked: "But he is from Xuanmen?"
"The young man's eyes are higher than his head. I'm afraid... he is indeed a member of Xuanmen."
"The person who came here is not a good person." Rong Che slowly stood up and walked towards the inner room. He was satisfied and quickly ran after him to find the clothes he had brought out to meet the guests and help him change into them.
After changing his clothes and drinking a cup of ginseng tea to refresh himself, Rong Che strode towards the flower hall in the outer courtyard.
When Rong Che stepped into the outer courtyard, the old Taoist priest had already noticed it. He suddenly released his power. Butler Liu who was following Rong Che suddenly felt like he was stuck in a quagmire and was struggling to move forward. However, Rong Che just paused and immediately moved forward steadily.
.
The old Taoist priest was just showing off his power at this moment and did not mean to hurt anyone, so Rong Che, who withstood the pressure, walked into the flower hall smoothly.
However, not only did the old Taoist priest not move, but the young man standing behind the old Taoist priest also showed no intention of bowing to Rong Che.
Rong Che knew that people in Xuanmen had always had this attitude. The royal family of the mortal empire was nothing in Xuanmen, and he, the prince, had no weight at all, so he never thought about it at all.
"Rong Che, I wonder why you two are here today?" He cupped his hands and asked directly after sitting down.
"You don't have to worry about who Pindao is. Even if you tell me, you don't know." The old Taoist priest looked arrogant and said directly: "Pindao came today to confirm something."
Rong Che raised his eyebrows and made a questioning gesture.
"Pindao just wants to confirm that you are the fiance of that girl from the Yan family?"
Rong Che's breathing stagnated, and he slowly lowered his eyelids. After a while, he gradually loosened his clenched fists and said in a solemn tone, "No!"
The old Taoist priest was stunned. Could it be that the information was wrong?
But the young man suddenly sneered: "You are a respectable person among mortals, but you have no courage or responsibility!"
Rong Che took a deep breath and remained silent.
The young man became more and more enthusiastic and mocked: "A prince doesn't even dare to admit his fiancée. Are you so afraid of us Xuanmen people?"
"Don't be rude!" the old Taoist priest gently scolded him. He felt that Prince Xuan didn't look like that kind of coward, and there must be something going on inside.
"Master!" the young man shouted dissatisfied.
The old Taoist priest waved his hand to signal him to calm down, and then asked: "Before I came here, I heard that the girl from the Yan family of Tianyimen was engaged to Prince Xuan of Fenrong when she was young. Is this possible?
Fake?"
"it is true."
"You're kidding us!" The young man suddenly became angry.
"Shut up first!" the old Taoist priest frowned.
The young man took a step back indignantly. He decided that if this prince dared to say any nonsense again, he would tear his mouth open!
"Then, why didn't you admit that you were her fiancé just now?" The old Taoist priest also asked doubtfully.
Rong Che really didn't want to mention this matter. He closed his eyes, paused and then said in a low voice: "Yesterday, we broke off the engagement."
The young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You know what's going on!"
Rong Che felt unhappy, but he just narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Don't be rude!" The old Taoist priest frowned. Although this Prince Xuan is relatively cold and stern, unlike some mortal nobles who try their best to please people in Taoism, he is more upright and answers all questions.
It made the old Taoist priest slightly impressed.
But that's all. He didn't let his disciples be rude for another reason.
"Since the girl of the Yan family has nothing to do with you anymore... then I will take my leave." The old Taoist priest was about to stand up.
Rong Che hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't suppress his concern for Yan Qingzheng and asked, "What does the Taoist want when you ask about this?"
He was worried that the old Taoist priest would cause trouble for Yan Qingzheng, so he would start with her fiancé.
"Haha, don't worry, Pindao is very satisfied with that girl and wants her to marry me as his disciple!" The old Taoist priest said, suddenly looking at Rong Che gloomily, "So, if she really has a fiancé, Pindao
Mr. Dao must resolve it first..."
Rong Che's eyes widened and he was speechless because the old Taoist priest unleashed the power of the cultivator.
The young man glanced at Rong Che disdainfully and followed the master out of the flower hall.
After a long while, Rong Che fell down on the chair, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
At this moment, he seemed to understand a lot of things.
Why did Yan Xi not show a sense of relief when she came to break off the engagement despite clearly not liking her?
At the same time, he also understood one thing, that is, he really did not want to give up on her!
But what can he do? In this world, perhaps anyone is qualified to pursue him, but he is not qualified because he is the one whose engagement was broken off.
News of the old Taoist priest's visit quickly spread to the palace, and the emperor immediately sent someone to summon Rong Che.
Rong Che changed his clothes again with a dark face. Butler Liu asked carefully: "I already said that the prince will not see guests, why did the emperor send someone here again?"
Moreover, he didn’t understand how he could go today after rejecting the emperor’s summons yesterday.
Rong Che didn't say anything. Yesterday, he was indeed planning to stay alone for a few days, but he had already met guests today. He couldn't meet someone from Xuanmen but refuse to meet the emperor.
The emperor was wandering around in the open space of the royal study. He was very worried about Rong Che. It was here that time, in order to resist his will to marry him a concubine, he drew his sword and killed himself. At that time, the blood gushed out, and the warm and sticky feeling
, still lingering at this moment...
Rong Che...has a deep affection for that girl from the Yan family!
Now that the engagement has been broken off, Rong Che must be so sad!
This child has always been taciturn and keeps everything in his mind. He has been fighting on the battlefield since he was young. In the past few years, he has never refused to enter the palace because of personal matters, but this time he was actually ready to thank guests behind closed doors.
How sad this is...
How can I comfort him?
Suddenly, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and the emperor quickly jumped back behind the dragon case and sat upright.
"Your Majesty!" Hong Wen hurriedly ran in, "Your Majesty, eight hundred miles is urgent!"
The emperor was stunned, stood up quickly and stretched out his hand: "Bring it to me quickly!"
A cylinder was presented to him by Hong Wen's hands. The emperor took it and hurriedly opened it and looked at it. His face suddenly became solemn.
He took a deep breath, put the urgent report on the table, tapped his fingers on the table a few times, and shook his head helplessly.
"Originally I didn't call him here for official business, but who would have thought...it's really not as good as God!" The emperor took a long breath, closed his eyes and said: "It's okay, it's not good for him to go out of the capital at this time.
It’s not a bad thing.”
At this time, the eunuch outside the door announced: "Prince Xuan wants to see your Majesty!"
"Come in." Once he made up his mind, the emperor became serious and steady.
Rong Che walked in steadily, walked to the palace without squinting, knelt down and paid his respects to the emperor.
"Get up." The emperor's tone was a little bleak.
Rong Che immediately sensed something was wrong. The emperor's trip was not for his marriage! And he would only be so serious when dealing with official business and very urgent military situations. He raised his head and saw the emperor's serious expression, looking at him.
Deep and serious.
"But is there something going on at the border?" Rong Che asked hurriedly.
"See for yourself." The emperor picked up the urgent report on the case and handed it to Rong Che. Of course, Hongwen trotted over and took it and handed it to Rong Che.
"It's actually Dongling Pass!" Rong Che's eyes flashed with confusion, "Donngling Pass has always been peaceful, but this time there are actually rebels attacking the city!"
"They were those who fled over, and there were some cultivators among them, so it was very difficult to guard the Dongling Gate." The emperor was also very worried. There were not many cultivators who cooperated with the empire, but they were not many, and each time they were used, the cost was very high.
big.
"Donngling Pass...Miao'er Mountain!" Rong Che said.
"I'm afraid so." The emperor sighed helplessly.
Two days' journey outside Dongling Pass is Miao'er Mountain. In the past, many cultivators gathered at Dongling Pass, all for the purpose of going to Miao'er Mountain. In recent years, there have been many fewer cultivators, so the number of cultivators originally stationed at Dongling Pass
The emperor transferred more than a dozen people, but unexpectedly some rebels took advantage of this gap and tried to seize the gate.
"It seems like there's something going on in Miao'er Mountain."
Rong Che remained motionless, and when the emperor pressed him, he said: "Miao'er Mountain has always been Xuanmen's territory, and we...never interfere."
"That's right, Miao'er Mountain has nothing to do with us, but if they want to occupy Dongling Pass, it has something to do with us." The emperor suddenly showed a trace of anger, "You know what to do, right?"
"Wei Chen is willing to go to Dongling Pass to guard!" Rong Che knelt down and said with cupped hands.
"Accurate!" The emperor said this, and added: "You can choose whoever you need, and I will do it for you!"
"Yes!" Rong Che agreed, and the faces of several young people from the Yan family flashed in his mind.
