As the capital of the Tang Dynasty in the East, this imperial city was extremely large, crowded and prosperous.
"Finally back."
Jian Wushuang stood in the middle of the street, breathing the air, but his mood was extremely complicated.
More than two hundred years ago, he, together with the four three-clawed blood eagle guards Jiu Zui, Ling Long, and Shui Jin, accepted a hell-level mission and went to the sea of stars and mist knowing that they would have a narrow escape from death. As a result, more than two hundred years later, he was the only one.
One person walked out safely from the sea of stars and mist.
"It's been more than two hundred years, but I don't know what happened to the Bingxin Bone Poison in Leng Rushuang's body?" Jian Wushuang had a trace of worry in his heart.
But at this time...
"Huh?" Jian Wushuang's expression suddenly changed. He had already discovered that the atmosphere in the imperial city was somewhat unusual.
On the streets of the Imperial City, groups of dragon-guarding sergeants wearing golden battle armor were seen everywhere. At the same time, Jian Wushuang also sensed many obscure and powerful auras hidden in the darkness.
"The security is so tight?" Jian Wushuang frowned slightly.
He also visited this imperial city more than two hundred years ago. Although the imperial city was heavily guarded at that time, it was far less than it is now.
Moreover, Jian Wushuang also appeared, and the number of strong men in this imperial city was much greater than before.
"Did something happen?" Jian Wushuang wondered, but immediately took out a messenger talisman.
This signaling talisman belongs to Wang Yuan.
"Boss Wang Yuan, I'm back."
The content of Jian Wushuang's message was very simple, and within a moment, there was a response.
"Haha, third child, you are finally back. Over the past two hundred years, I have been worried to death. I have lost a lot of weight because of worry." Wang Yuan looked extremely happy.
"Just brag, I think you are getting fatter and fatter." Jian Wushuang exchanged pleasantries with Wang Yuan, and then asked seriously: "Boss Wang Yuan, has something happened in the Imperial City during this time?
"
"You know?" Wang Yuan smiled lightly, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that in three years, a son-in-law recruitment meeting will be held here."
"A meeting to recruit a son-in-law?" Jian Wushuang was startled and muttered subconsciously: "What meeting to recruit a son-in-law? Who are you recruiting a son-in-law for?"
"Of course, the princess of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Leng Rushuang, is looking for a son-in-law. Who else's son-in-law recruitment conference would attract so many strong men?" Wang Yuan said.
But after hearing this, Jian Wushuang's expression suddenly darkened.
Son-in-law recruitment meeting?
Leng Rushuang’s son-in-law recruitment meeting?
He worked hard and risked almost certain death to go to the Sea of Stars and Fog to find the Yin-Yang Dragon and Phoenix Fruit that could suppress the toxicity for Leng Rushuang.
After narrowly escaping death, he just brought back the Yin Yang Dragon and Phoenix Fruit.
But it's good that Leng Rushuang is still in the mood to find a son-in-law?
"Leng Rushuang..." Jian Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly, but relaxed at the next moment, "No, with Leng Rushuang's temperament, even if there is no ice heart and bone poison in her body, she will never hold any son-in-law recruitment meeting.
, not to mention that she is riddled with bone poison and will not live much longer."
"So, the meeting to recruit a son-in-law must have been brought about by Emperor Leng."
Thinking of this, Jian Wushuang couldn't help but clenched his hands, and then said: "Boss Wang Yuan, I will go find you now."
"Okay." Wang Yuan responded.
Soon, Jian Wushuang came directly to the mansion where Wang Yuan lived.
Wang Yuan, currently the Alchemist Xi of the Eastern Tang Dynasty royal family, lives in a huge mansion within the imperial city.
The dark secret room is surrounded by a layer of restrictions to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in or being heard from the conversation.
In the secret room, only Jian Wushuang and Wang Yuan were sitting together.
"Haha, third child, I knew that the sea of stars and mist would not be able to trouble you."
Wang Yuan looked at Jian Wushuang with a hint of surprise. During the period after Jian Wushuang entered the sea of stars and fog, he was indeed very worried. It was not until he saw Jian Wushuang alive in front of him that he felt completely relieved.
"Boss Wang Yuan, tell me about the son-in-law recruitment meeting." Jian Wushuang didn't have the time to joke.
"We all know Leng Rushuang's situation. If I had not been able to get the Yin Yang Dragon Phoenix Fruit in time for you to refine the Great Ziwei Pill, she would not have survived for three hundred years, and now more than two hundred years have passed.
, that is to say, she can only live for another hundred years at most. At this time, what kind of son-in-law recruitment meeting is held? "
Jian Wushuang couldn't understand.
Everyone is about to die. At this time, is Leng Emperor still in the mood to hold a son-in-law recruitment meeting for Leng Rushuang?
"The son-in-law recruitment conference? Haha~~" Wang Yuan sneered, "Lao San, this son-in-law recruitment conference is actually, to put it bluntly, the marriage between the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the Xia clan!"
As early as when he was on Bauhinia Island, Jian Wushuang had heard from Lin Wan'er that the eldest son of the Xia clan had long been recognized by the outside world as the prince-consort of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.
However, that is just what others think, after all, it has not really been realized yet.
But now this marriage...
"Leng Rushuang agreed?" Jian Wushuang asked in a deep voice.
This question is of great significance.
If Leng Rushuang agrees, then she is willing to do so. Then no one can stop this marriage, and Jian Wushuang naturally does not have the qualifications.
But if there is no consent, it is different.
"Agree?" Wang Yuan smiled faintly, "If Leng Rushuang really agrees, then the meeting held in three years will not be a son-in-law recruitment meeting, but a marriage meeting directly."
"But it's strange to say that according to the news I got in the palace, when Emperor Leng first proposed a marriage conference to Leng Rushuang, Leng Rushang refused directly. But later when Emperor Leng proposed a marriage conference, Leng Rushuang refused.
There was no objection."
"Third brother, you should know that the eldest son of the Xia clan has always been called the number one genius in the Eternal Realm and the number one Eternal Realm. He is indeed a proud man of heaven!" Wang Yuan said with a smile.
"In the eyes of everyone, he is the only one who is worthy of Leng Rushuang, and who can compare with him in the competition to recruit a son-in-law?"
"So, almost everyone thinks that there is no difference between the son-in-law recruitment meeting and the marriage meeting. Anyway, in the end result, Leng Rushuang will marry the eldest son of the Xia clan."
"Of course, the result is that those people don't know your existence, third brother. If you, third brother, also go to the son-in-law recruitment meeting, the result may not be the same."
Having said this, Wang Yuan paused and looked towards Jian Wushuang.
At this moment, Jian Wushuang looked extremely strange.
He heard what Wang Yuan said.
"You rejected the marriage, but you didn't reject the son-in-law recruitment meeting?"
"Why not refuse?"
"Does she hope that someone will be able to defeat the eldest son of the Xia clan in an upright manner at the son-in-law recruitment meeting, and then marry her?"
