"I heard from the servants in the mansion that they call me Chu Ling, Ling who towers over the valley and into the sky."
"Hey! You're quite crazy. You dare to come to my Duke Shun's mansion to cause trouble. That's enough."
"Brother, they didn't come to cause trouble, they just came with a marriage certificate..."
"You know what the hell, isn't this making trouble? What qualifications does a country man of unknown origin have to marry my sister?"
"But I have a marriage certificate."
"So what, just grab it. My sister has already entered Zhaoyan Courtyard and is following the flower master to travel to northern Xinjiang. We can't let this boy spoil my wish."
"But my mother has ordered the housekeeper to invite him into the house."
"Then...let's go and take a look first."
Under the clear blue sky, on the covered bridge surrounded by green grass and flowers, two young men in brocade clothes walked quickly. After passing through the Moon Gate, a rockery several meters high came into view. Under the rockery, a clear pool was rippled with golden light.
The koi fish swam slowly, but the two young men didn't pay attention to it and stepped on the covered bridge above the pond and walked forward.
As the legitimate son of Shun Guo Gongfu, his father Li Qing was the famous Beiting War God of the Feng Dynasty and the General of the Conquest of the North, and his mother was the daughter of a royal clan.
The Li family's status in Xanadu is respected. Even if the Beiting God of War, who is favored by the emperor, is not in Xanadu, there are still many people who want to visit, but most of them can't even get through the gate of Li's house.
But a strange thing happened today.
A young man named Chu Ling came to the Duke Shun's mansion with a marriage certificate and proposed to visit Li Qing. This shocked everyone outside the mansion.
When did the only daughter of Duke Shun Guo make a marriage contract?
Didn’t he travel to northern Xinjiang with the great scholar Hua Lengtang?
Brothers Li Qian and Li Kun were also shocked when they heard the servants in the government explain this matter.
Their sister is actually engaged to someone?
He is also a country man with unknown origins.
Li Qian, who has a straightforward personality, found out about this and immediately couldn't sit still.
He had never heard of this before.
Fake, it must be fake!
Li Qian, who was filled with anger, ignored the salutes of servants and maids along the way, and led his twin brother Li Kun straight to the side hall of the house where guests would receive guests.
“It’s really luxurious.”
In the side hall of Duke Shun's mansion, Chu Ling sat on the Grand Master's chair and looked at the decoration in the hall. The entire set of red sandalwood furniture was extremely exquisitely carved, and precious porcelain was dotted everywhere. A touch of sandalwood surrounded the tip of his nose. Chu Ling sighed, "
As expected of the Beiting God of War who has won the favor of the Feng Emperor, the mansions he has been given are comparable to the standards that only a prince can enjoy. Although he has not been granted the title of Pillar Kingdom, he is also known as one of the Ten Pillar Kingdoms.
There are only nine.”
The uncrowned king!
Chu Ling smiled and shook her head.
He was a little curious in his heart.
What is the true identity of his master, and why he has friendship with the revered Beiting God of War and why he can make this engagement for himself.
But these have little to do with him.
He wants to break off the engagement!
In his previous life, in order to squeeze into the so-called circle, he did a wrong thing, gave up a true relationship, and got what he wanted. However, there are some things that are not something you can be accepted just because you want to blend in. Powerful people
The circle made him gradually lose himself. Although he also achieved some achievements,...
Now that he has been reborn in this life, Chu Ling doesn't want to go through this again. In fact, it's good to be a free-spirited person. Why do he have to get involved in all these troubles?
"Are you Chu Ling?"
A disdainful voice sounded, and Chu Ling looked away.
Two young men walked into the side hall.
Twins?
Seeing the appearance of the person coming, Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly. They looked very similar. They were nearly seven feet tall, thin, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. They were wearing purple robes and brocade clothes embroidered with green patterns, and white deerskin boots. Her jet-black hair is styled into a neat bun on the top of her head and set in a delicate white jade crown.
The two stood side by side, and outsiders couldn't tell who was who.
"Exactly."
Chu Ling stood up slowly and looked at the young man slightly in front. From his eyes, Chu Ling saw hostility.
"You are a country boy, but you are quite fair."
Li Gan showed disdain and looked at Chu Ling, "Give me your marriage certificate and get out of here as soon as possible. Not everyone can reach the heights of the Duke of Shun Kingdom!"
"Is this the upbringing of Duke Shunguo?"
Chu Ling was not afraid at all, facing Li Qian's glare, he said calmly.
"Education? You deserve it too!"
Li Qian snorted coldly, glanced at the baggage placed next to Chu Ling, and chuckled: "I have seen many people like you. It seems that you just came to Xanadu, and you can't wait to come here. You Don’t you really think that you can marry my sister with just a so-called marriage letter?”
Li Qian's attitude made Chu Ling a little unhappy.
"Your name is Chu Ling, right?"
Li Kun, who was standing on the side, looked at Chu Ling with a smile, "My name is Li Kun. Before my mother comes to see you, I would like to advise you to give the marriage certificate to my brother and leave the Shunguo Duke's Mansion as soon as possible. I will give it to you." A sum of silver."
Chu Ling smiled.
He came here just to break off the engagement and didn't think about anything else.
It's just that these two young men in front of me, well, one of them is named Li Kun. They didn't even ask clearly, and they just thought that they wanted to get ahead of them.
This reminded Chu Ling of something.
Most of the children of powerful people have this kind of virtue.
Their transcendent origin makes them despise everything.
Is this what is called superiority?
"why are you laughing!"
Li Qian clenched his fists tightly, feeling that his face had been slighted, he glared at Chu Ling and said: "Don't force me to do anything, you don't take a piss to show yourself, you are a country man, you can't even carry my sister's shoes." Even though they are not qualified, you know that my sister was accepted as a direct disciple by Hua Lengtang, a great scholar in Zhaoyan Academy..."
"Ahem~"
A light cough sounded, causing Li Qian to stop and look at a screen in the side hall.
Mrs. Shun Guogong, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked out from behind the screen and looked at Chu Ling and the others with her bright eyes.
Is this the God of War in Beiting, Huangfu Yunling, the royal wife of General Li Qing who conquered the North?
Chu Ling narrowed her eyes slightly.
Huangfu Yunling has a thin figure, an oval face, eyebrows like willows, a black hair shawl, a jade hairpin in her hair, and a purple jade tied around her waist. She has a dignified manner and a noble look.
"Back off."
Huangfu Yunling's voice sounded.
"Mother~"
Li Qian said subconsciously, but when he saw those cold eyes, Li Qian became timid.
Li Kun, who was nearby, hurriedly stepped forward and took Li Qian's arm, "Brother, don't make mother angry."
"Son, please leave!"
Li Kun pulled his brother and said to his father with a smile. Li Qian was reluctantly dragged out of the side hall.
The atmosphere in the side hall is slightly depressing.
"How is your master?"
Huangfu Yunling looked at Chu Ling, her words laced with alienation.
"My master can eat two bowls of rice, one catty of meat, and half a catty of wine in one meal."
Chu Ling said calmly: "My master said that he is just a man who is obsessed with the mountains and wilderness, and there is no need for anyone to worry about him."
"Your master still has the same temper."
Huangfu Yunling shook his head slightly and sighed: "In order to hide from the general, he went to Beiting to serve the country and serve his country. He left Xanadu without saying a word. Three years later, I didn't expect him to be such an arrogant person. , he even accepts disciples."
It seems that my master and Li Qing have a good relationship.
Hearing what Huangfu Yunling said, I was afraid that Li Qing, who was in charge of Beiting, would send people to find out the whereabouts of his master.
"Madam, Duke of the State, I am here in Shangdu. I am here on the orders of my master..."
Chu Ling thought for a while, walked towards where she was sitting, and said to Huangfu Yunling.
"No need to say it."
Huangfu Yunling said indifferently: "Leave the marriage certificate and go away. My daughter will not marry you."
"???"
Chu Ling stopped and looked at Huangfu Yunling.
"Don't cause trouble for yourself."
Huangfu Yunling said in a cold tone: "Your master is very powerful. Even if you have a good relationship with the general, I don't think you have any ability to be worthy of my daughter. Leave Xanadu as soon as possible, otherwise what will happen to you?" I can’t guarantee the consequences.”
Huangfu Yunling's words were very calm, not as arrogant as Li Qian's, but Chu Ling felt that these words were harsh.
It's like a person standing in the clouds, looking down at an ant.
He is that ant!
"Ever since I came down from the mountain with my master's orders, I was thinking about how to break off the engagement on my way to Xanadu."
Under the gaze of Huangfu Yunling, Chu Ling walked towards where he was sitting, bent down and unpacked his baggage, "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix. The son of a mouse can dig holes. This junior is a lazy person, so I didn't think about it." Who are you trying to reach too high... But I just heard my wife say this, and I know what to do."
Huangfu Yunling'e frowned slightly and stared at Chu Ling in front of her. She seemed to have guessed Chu Ling's purpose wrongly.
An irritable mood emerged from the bottom of her heart.
The look on Chu Ling's face made her unhappy.
It was as if something was beyond her control.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing Chu Ling put down the brocade box in her hand, Huangfu Yunling said coldly.
However, Huangfu Yunling didn't even notice that there was a little nervousness in her words, as if to verify that her previous thoughts were correct.
"nothing."
Facing Huangfu Yunling's gaze, Chu Ling bent down to pick up the baggage and said with a smile: "I suddenly don't want to break off the engagement. I want to marry the only daughter of Duke Shun's family!"
After saying this, Chu Ling raised her hand and saluted Huangfu Yunling, then turned around and walked out of the side hall.
"Have you thought about it?"
Huangfu Yunling looked at Chu Ling's back and gritted his teeth.
"I've thought about it."
Chu Ling did not look back and said: "Shun Guogong Mansion, I will come again."
All the experiences in her previous life made Chu Ling feel tired.
In this life, he just wants to live according to his heart.
"You'll regret it."
Huangfu Yunling's angry voice came from behind.
Chu Ling ignored it.
regret?
Maybe.
Originally, he just wanted to cancel the engagement quietly and never thought about causing trouble. However, after arriving at the Shunguo Duke's mansion, Chu Ling felt that he was so wrong.
The powerful people standing in the clouds will not look squarely at ants.
Is it just that he, Chu Ling, is an ant?
"Don't look at me like this, you've decided to call me brother-in-law."
Chu Ling, who walked out of the side hall, saw Li Qian who had not left, glared at him, and showed a faint smile, "Remember, my name is Chu Ling, the Ling who towers over the valley, Lingxiao, don't forget, when the time comes Remember to bring my shoes."
"Chu Ling!!!"
Li Qian glared at Chu Ling who was walking away, gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Goodbye."
Chu Ling walked forward with her head held high, facing the breeze and waving with a relaxed smile on her face.
