Every word Jia Xu said was like a flying hammer, constantly bombarding Liu Zhang's mind.
Especially this sentence, ‘What can I do to protect the one I love!’, it woke Liu Zhang up, and six words flashed through his mind.
Southern Xiongnu, King Zuoxian!
History has confirmed to him that many things cannot be changed by humans! What should happen will still happen!
Maybe Cai Yan will not be kidnapped by King Zuoxian of the Southern Huns again. Who can guarantee that he will not be kidnapped by other foreigners?
If you don't have enough strength, how can you protect her?
In the final analysis, there are only two words, strength!
Without strong strength, everything is just talk!
Liu Zhang stood up suddenly, swept away his previous dejection, and looked ahead firmly.
That’s right, today’s worries will only bring greater hidden dangers in the future!
If I am really good for Yan'er, I must be cruel now!
For Cai Yan, for the people around me, for the Han people, for the Chinese nation! And even more for myself! I must make a choice!
"Wen He, thank you! Without your tireless teachings, I would have almost gone astray!"
After saying this, Liu Zhang took a step back and bowed deeply to Jia Xu.
"Lord, please get up quickly!"
Jia Xu hurried forward and helped Liu Zhang up as he spoke.
"My lord has great ambitions, how can he be trapped in the shallows! Jia Xu has full faith in my lord!"
Jia Xu finally smiled. He had always believed that Liu Zhang could come out!
If Liu Zhang really just wanted to stay together with Cai Yan, he could have found a place in the mountains and lived a life without fighting against the world. Why would he have to fight with various forces every day and put himself in danger?
Liu Zhang's true intentions had long been clearly seen by Jia Xu! No matter how hard Liu Zhang tried to hide it or how humble he was, he could not hide it from Jia Xu's eyes.
His heart is greedy and has extremely high desires!
Without desire, how can you have the motivation to support your ambitions?
But not long after he was happy, Liu Zhang began to have a headache again.
"Wen He, I have refused your Majesty's offer. Do I have to take the initiative to ask for your Majesty's help?"
If I didn’t regret it too much at first, I feel regretful now!
I licked my face and went to find Liu Hong. It would be fine if he agreed, but if he was rejected, there would really be no place for Liu Zhang's old face!
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Jia Xu was also amused by Liu Zhang's contrast. Just now he looked depressed and thought about escaping from the marriage, but now he began to worry about how to marry the princess.
"Wen He, you can't make fun of me! You must have a way, right?"
Jia Xu did not disappoint Liu Zhang and nodded with a smile.
Jia Xu is such a great person. Whatever he wants to do will be perfectly thought out for you from beginning to end, so you don't have to worry about stopping at a certain step.
"My lord, just sit at home, your highness must be my lord's without a doubt!"
"I guess there is someone who has more headaches than my lord at the moment!"
If someone else had said this, Liu Zhang might have been suspicious, but when Jia Xu said it, he was very relieved!
"Hahaha, with Wenhe's words, I feel relieved!"
"My lord, sooner or later, I will let my lord embrace this beauty!"
Hug the beauty back! After hearing this, Liu Zhang couldn't help but picture Liu Yun's face in his mind, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
"Report, General!"
Just as Liu Zhang thought about Princess Wannian, he was interrupted by the guards outside the door, feeling slightly annoyed.
"What's the matter!"
"General Qi, there is news from the palace, General Xuan will enter the palace immediately!"
Liu Zhang was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at Jia Xu.
"Wenhe, is it possible?"
Jia Xu didn't answer, just showed a smile.
"You will know as soon as the lord leaves!"
Just as Liu Zhang rushed to the palace, a scribe entered Liu Yan's Zongzheng Mansion.
"Are you Xun Zhubo?"
The housekeeper of the Liu Mansion knew this scribe, who was Bo Xunyou, the head of the Hou General Mansion.
"Butler, take me to see Miss Cai Yan quickly. I have something urgent!"
The housekeeper frowned, feeling a little confused.
Lord Xun Bo is so anxious to see Cai Yan. Could it be that something happened to the young master?
"Master Xun Bo, has something happened to the general? Do you need me to inform you?"
Seeing that the housekeeper had misunderstood, Xun You quickly waved his hand to him.
"You are worrying too much. The general is fine! I have something urgent to do with Miss Cai. Please take me there quickly!"
"In that case, please come with me!"
Xun You's tone was very anxious, and the housekeeper didn't say anything more and led Xun You directly to Cai Yan's residence.
Liu Yan's Zongzheng Mansion was very large, and Cai Yan's residence was at the back. Xun You was led by the housekeeper to turn left and right, and walked for a long time before arriving in front of the courtyard.
"After entering this courtyard, this is Miss Cai Yan's residence. I can only send you here!"
"Master Xun, please, I will take my leave first."
The butler bowed his hands and said goodbye to Xun You with a smile.
"Thank you, steward! I'm done!"
Xun You politely bowed his hand and sent the butler away.
Xun You stood at the door of the courtyard, feeling slightly nervous.
Jia Xu didn't say anything to him, but Xun You understood everything from Jia Xu's eyes.
Liu Zhang couldn't do many things, so he and his subordinates could only do it for him!
For example, when Liu Zhang wanted to marry a princess, Xun You decided to inform Cai Yan on Liu Zhang's behalf!
Maybe the Lord will punish me severely!
Xun You sighed secretly in his heart, but without any fear, he directly opened the door and entered the courtyard.
"Miss Cai, I am Bo Xunyou, the head of the Hou General's Mansion. I have something to see you."
Not long after shouting, the door was opened from the inside.
"Master Xun, I wonder why you want to find your daughter?"
Cai Yan walked out, holding a small flowerpot in his hand, which was obviously a potted plant being pruned and planted.
Xun You and Cai Yan looked at each other for a moment, then gently lowered their heads and bowed their hands to Cai Yan.
"Miss Cai, Xun You is here specifically to arrange the marriage between my lord and Miss Cai."
Cai Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Why did Xun You come to her marriage to Liu Zhang? Why didn't Liu Zhang come?
"What happened to our marriage? Master Xun should speak frankly."
Cai Yan was very nervous and clenched the flower pot unconsciously with both hands.
"Miss Cai, I'm afraid my lord can't marry Miss Cai."
Xun You looked at Cai Yan with slightly narrowed eyes and his tone was very calm.
"What!"
Cai Yan trembled all over, it was indeed not a good thing!
"Why! What happened?"
"Where is Liu Zhang? Let him come to see me!"
Cai Yan was very excited. She absolutely did not believe that this was true, and she absolutely did not believe that this was what Liu Zhang meant.
"Miss Cai, for the sake of my lord's great cause, he must marry Princess Wannian."
"Wannian...Princess..."
Cai Yan suddenly remembered that that day outside Luoyang City, Liu Zhang had personally rejected the emperor's offer of marriage.
"Didn't he already reject the princess's marriage proposal?"
Xun You didn't say anything and just kept looking at Cai Yan.
"Is this...what...he...meant?"
A stream of clear tears continued to flow from Cai Yan's eyes, and his voice was trembling.
Xun You didn't show any sympathy, but his tone was even colder.
"No matter who it is, my lord must marry Princess Wannian!"
Bang! The flowerpot in Cai Yan's hand fell to the ground and shattered...
