Chapter 496 The common people are coming to kowtow
Moreover, Chen Xiaobei also made it clear just now that he had long hoped to cancel the state funeral for Huang Ying, so now he had no choice but to exchange the dead for the living.
Thinking of this, Xiao An put away the smile on his face. He stared at Chen Xiaobei and said, "Chen Xiaobei, then Acupuncture takes back what he said just now. He won't hold the national highway for Huang Ying. You can go."
this.
Before Chen Xiaobei could speak, Fang Zheng was anxious. This was a good opportunity to rescue Liu Runan. Chen Xiaobei ruined this opportunity without marrying Liu Rumei. This was different from what Lin said when he came. Thinking of this,
This made him speak quickly again.
"Wait a minute, Chen Xiaobei, you can't leave yet."
"Just now the emperor said that he would let Liu Rumei go as long as you promised one thing. But you said it yourself. You are willing to go up mountains of swords and into seas of fire."
"However, the emperor neither asked you to go to the mountain of knives nor to the sea of fire. He only asked you to marry Liu Rumei, but you resisted. As the saying goes, a gentleman's words are hard to catch. How can you be a gentleman by resisting and resisting."
Xiao Jingyun also instantly understood what Fang Zheng meant. He wanted to force Chen Xiaobei to submit. After all, as long as Chen Xiaobei agreed to his father, it would be hard to change his mind. This was a good opportunity.
He immediately followed Fang Zheng's words and said, "Chen Aiqing, since you agreed to this matter, you can't go back on it. As the old prime minister said just now, even if you don't want to make a big deal, as long as Old Marquis Xiangnan agrees, you can keep a low profile.
It's nothing to get married, so please rest assured that the reward you deserve from your father will never be less."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understood Xiao Jingyun's hint, that is, if you quickly agree to come down and not hold a state funeral, the emperor will not marry Liu Rumei in a graceful manner, so you just take Liu Rumei away quietly and bring Liu Xiangnan to the Yi family.
Let's rescue him first and then talk about it.
My goal has basically been achieved. As long as it is quiet, I can completely accept these two things. After a while, I can break up peacefully with Liu Rumei and go their separate ways.
"Okay, since His Highness the Crown Prince has said this, I will agree to it."
To be honest, Chen Xiaobei turned to look at Xiao An again, lifted up his clothes and knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Liu Rumei could not be married off in a glamorous manner, and the effect of humiliating Liu Xiangnan would be reduced, no matter what, it was his daughter who married a villager.
As long as this matter spreads, my goal will be achieved.
Thinking of this, Xiao An nodded, "Okay, then everything will be up to you. When your altar practice is over, I will decree a marriage for you and Liu Rumei."
Chen Xiaobei kowtowed to thank him and left the palace. He began to make plans in his mind.
Even before Huang Ying's body was cold, she accepted the emperor's marriage offer. I'm afraid it would be hard to say if it spread out, so she had to explain some things to Shen Ziyan and the others first. This was not her original wish.
Returning to the altar, Chen Xiaobei first told Cui Hongyu the situation. After listening, Cui Hongyu also frowned.
"Your Majesty is so rude. Sister Huang Ying's body is still cold. How can you think of getting married?"
"Yes, I can see it too. In fact, the emperor doesn't care at all who marries Liu Rumei. His original intention is to humiliate Liu Xiangnan and completely knock Liu Xiangnan off the altar. From now on, there will be no place for him in the army. This way
Only after Jamel Xiao ascends the throne can he completely take over the army!"
After listening to Chen Xiaobei's words, Cui Hongyu was also helpless, but this is the fact.
A fact they cannot change is that Xiao An belongs to the emperor.
Xiao An holds the power of life and death. If Chen Xiaobei does not agree, Liu Rumei will not be able to save him.
After a long time, Cui Hongyu took a long breath and said, "Forget it, I will tell Sister Ziyan personally about this when she comes."
The two of them discussed that the day had passed in the blink of an eye. The sky was slightly brighter the next day, and Chen Xiaowei opened his eyes. He didn't know when he fell asleep.
Looking at Cui Hongyu next to him, leaning in his arms, also half asleep, Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt sorry for him. He stood up and called the leader of the Suzaku Gang, asking them to send Cui Hongyu back to the inn to rest, while he got up and ran
Towards the altar outside the west gate.
After Cui Hongyu came back yesterday, he temporarily transferred two people from the Suzaku Gang to guard it. In fact, to be honest, it doesn't matter if you have those hands or not. As long as the tiger is tied tightly, it doesn't matter if there is no one to guard it.
It was just a bluff to send someone to guard. When they saw Chen Xiaobei coming, the two Suzaku gang members who were guarding the altar hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand, "Okay, let's go down and have a rest. When the sun rises, we can bring two more people over. Just finish today."
The two men waved their hands and said, "Chang Li, don't be polite. Our leader, Laldo, told us to stay here. Don't worry, we just stayed up all night, so this is nothing."
Of course Chen Xiaobei knew that for people like him who were used to licking blood from the edge of a knife, staying awake for two or three consecutive nights, let alone one night, was just that. They had long been used to it.
Chen Xiaobei nodded and was about to speak again when he saw a noise in the distance and someone coming over.
Judging from their attire, they were ordinary people. These people gathered around the river and pointed into the river.
It was obvious that they were talking about the disappearing schools of fish. Perhaps they were used to seeing schools of fish swirling and gathering for so many days, and the sea was suddenly calm, so the common people were not used to it.
Someone took out some fish food from his sleeve and threw it into the water, but after waiting for a long time, one or two small fish less than three inches long jumped out of the water, and then quickly swam away into the distance.
Seeing this scene, the people suddenly became excited. After dancing for a while, a man who looked a little older suddenly took the lead and fell to his knees with a plop, muttering to the river.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei burst out laughing. I have set up the altar here for three days and cleaned up this vision from the sky for you. Why did you go to the river to kowtow? Then my work was in vain.
Fortunately, someone finally came to his senses, pointed to the altar not far away, and said loudly, "Thanks to the two immortal girls for doing this, otherwise we wouldn't have the Lang Lang Qiankun we have now."
"Yes, they are the two immortal aunts. We have to go over and kowtow to the immortal aunts."
Everyone was making noises and heading towards the altar. Chen Xiaobei's mind suddenly moved. He suddenly pulled over the two guards beside him, gave them some instructions, and then turned around and hid in a hidden place.
This group of people quickly walked under the altar. Someone came forward and said to the soldiers outside, "We would like to kowtow to the two immortal aunts above. Please do it for your convenience."
The soldier on duty looked at the common people and sighed, "You are late. The two fairy aunts you mentioned have left and are no longer here."
