Chapter 0108 Taking the initiative to break off the engagement
The news of the closure of Qifeng Tower for rectification immediately spread to every corner of the imperial capital like a pot exploding.
Whether it's before tea or after dinner, the most discussed topic is the inside story of Qifeng Tower's closure.
Although there are not many witnesses to the cause of the incident, there are still a number of them after all.
There are various speculations, but most of them are just gloating. Who makes Qifeng Tower always so high-profile and the threshold so deep?
Those low-level nobles who were not usually qualified to enter Qifeng Tower for consumption felt even more secretly happy, wishing that Qifeng Tower would just die.
…
Nanyunzhou City, in the Ximen Grand Valve Mansion.
Ximenyu opened his palm, and a homing pigeon fell into his hand. He took out a thin bamboo tube and pulled out a note.
Behind him, in the darkness, serve the two chief guardians of the "Thirteen Cold-Blooded Eagles".
"Master, has there been a letter from the Imperial City?"
Ximenyu opened the note in his hand and scanned it with his tiger eyes. His eyes flashed suddenly, and then it flashed past, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Second Protector."
Ximenyu was silent for a moment and finally spoke slowly.
The tall second guardian walked out of the darkness: "Master, what are your orders?"
"You will take that girl Yan'er to Luojiang County tomorrow, non-stop, the sooner the better." Ximen Yu said in a very cautious tone.
Then he added: "How to do it specifically, I don't need to tell you, right?"
The second guardian said cautiously: "The intention of the Valve Master is to break off the engagement with the Daxi family. I would like to ask the Valve Master to show me how to control the style."
"Well, break off the engagement." Ximen Yu's tone at this time showed no reluctance at all, and he mused, "As for the style, it doesn't have to be too high-profile, nor too low-key. Just the right amount. Don't overdo it and detract from the face of the Daxi family, but it must be
We must maintain the dignity of the powerful family. In short, we are the ones who took the initiative to break off the engagement, and the Daxi family is responsible for making amends and apologizing. Can the Second Protector control this degree?"
"Since the Valve Master has given me the regulations, my subordinates will never betray the Valve Master's trust. It's just that the Second Young Lady, my subordinates are worried that she will make the eldest lady lose her temper."
"I will warn her. After departure, all disciplinary rights will belong to the second guardian. She can be beaten or scolded. When necessary, she can enforce family law on my behalf. She will not be tolerated." Ximen Yu explained seriously.
"I obey," the second guardian replied respectfully.
"Well, you go down first and rest early. We will set off tomorrow." Ximen Yu dismissed the second guardian.
The Great Protector, who had been in the dark, suddenly sighed and said quietly: "Master, have the results of the trial come out?"
Ximenyu's tone was bleak and he sighed. There was a trace of reluctance, but more of it was envy and admiration.
"Yes, in our Baiyue Kingdom, a king with a different surname will soon appear."
"Personal champion, could it be..."
"Just as you and I expected, the flower fell into the Qin family in Donglin." Ximen Yu said in a solemn tone.
The Great Protector murmured to himself: "The Qin family of Donglin has soared into the sky from now on."
…
Luojiang County has been quite peaceful during this period, because the three most outstanding martial arts boys have all gone to participate in the trial, which has made Luojiang County lose a lot of atmosphere. However, it has also created a lot more talk.
Seeing that the one-month trial period has passed, I believe that the results will be sent to Luojiang County in a few days. At that time, the results of the trial martial arts boys in Luojiang County will be known soon.
In the afternoon, Da Xiheng was playing chess with the family elders in the yard, when suddenly a confidant broke in and whispered something in his ear.
Da Xi Heng, who was usually calm, frowned after hearing what the visitor said.
"Is there someone from the Ximen Clan? The Second Protector is personally in charge, and is there Miss Ximenyan as well?"
Da Xiheng was a little confused for a moment. What did it mean for the Ximen clan to come at this time? Whether it was a blessing or a curse, he had no way of knowing.
"Master, it's a blessing, not a curse. You can't avoid it. You have to face it." The elder pushed the chessboard, completely disrupting the chess game.
Da Xiheng nodded: "I'll go take a look."
"Go ahead, I'm worried about all the strong men in the family, and I'm waiting for you!" The elder did not dare to show any signs of neglect in front of the masters of the Ximen Clan.
In the hall of the Daxi Family, Da Ximing greeted several visitors from the Ximen Family without any disrespect. He looked calm and composed on the outside, but in his heart he was confused and didn't know what Ximen Dazai's visit meant this time.
Especially Ximen Yan, who looked at him from left to right without scruples, and there was a hint of resentment and evil spirit between her eyebrows.
On the other hand, there was no murderous intent in the expression of the second protector. He had a very standard public relations face, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking in his heart.
After serving tea and snacks, Da Ximing was about to speak when suddenly footsteps came from outside the door, steady and powerful, with a relaxed rhythm. It was obviously his father Da Xiheng.
Sure enough, as soon as Da Xiheng entered the door, he glanced around and said with a smile on his face: "Sure enough, the Second Protector of the Ximen Grand Clan is here to visit. It's not a long way to welcome him."
The Second Protector smiled faintly and did not get up, just nodded.
"Second Protector, Miss Ximen, why are you coming all the way this time?" Da Xiheng did not dare to neglect and asked cautiously.
"Hey..." The Second Protector frowned slightly and said, neither salty nor cool, "In recent months, rumors have been spreading to our Nanyunzhou City, and there are many right and wrongs, which makes my family leader
Deeply unhappy.”
"Oh? What is the Second Protector referring to?" Da Xiheng knew what he was referring to, but he retreated to ask questions.
"Master Daxi, a wise man doesn't speak secretly. The master of my family sent me here this time to dissolve the engagement between our two families. Because the rumors about your young master in Luojiang County have greatly affected my reputation as the great clan of Ximen.
The responsibility for this matter lies with your Daxi family. How to deal with the aftermath, my family leader will let the Daxi family master think deeply."
Break off the engagement?
Da Xiheng and Da Ximing were both stunned. They thought their ears were wrong.
They originally thought that the other party came this time to urge them to get married as soon as possible, but they never expected that the other party actually made a completely opposite request.
For Da Ximing, this was definitely a good thing that he could only hope for. He almost wanted to say "good". But he knew that his father was here and he had the final say in everything.
Da Xiheng had no objection to breaking off the engagement, but he was more concerned about the fact that the Ximen Clan leader proposed to break off the engagement without any reason, and it was impossible to do so without any conditions.
This is not like Ximen Daval's style at all.
Da Xiheng muttered: "Second Protector, what do you mean by your clan leader?"
"The clan leader's intention is very clear. It is necessary to break off the engagement. And in order to save the reputation of the Ximen clan, your Daxi family must make the necessary gesture."
Da Xiheng suddenly realized that this was blackmail and he was asking for compensation! But Da Xiheng didn't care about it. If they could cancel the engagement and compensate, the Da Xi family would accept it. They just wanted this matter to be settled.
The Second Protector suddenly stood up and said in a solemn voice: "Master Daxi, I have brought the master's words. If the Daxi family wants to settle this matter, it depends on your sincerity. My master is waiting for news about the master of the Daxi family in Nanyun City.
, it lasts for seven days, no waiting if it expires!”
After the explanation was completed, the second guardian didn't even stay for a moment and left directly.
And Ximen Yan didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but kept a straight face, looking at Da Ximing with eyes filled with displeasure.
When the powerful men from the Daxi family arrived, they found that the people from the Ximen clan had already left.
Da Xiheng remained silent, obviously thinking about something.
The Ximen Grand Valve came and went like the wind, and when he came and went suddenly, he couldn't see what kind of overtones it contained.
Ximen Davali took the initiative to break off the engagement? This kind of thing is not in line with Ximen Davale's usual behavior. It sounds like Ximen Davale's tone is still very high-profile.
Just, there is obviously a lot of room for maneuver in this high-profile. It seems that it is almost like Ximen Dasha took the initiative to find a way out for the Daxi family.
Now, it depends on how Da Xi Heng will go down this level. Apologizing and offering property are all small things, and the Da Xi family can still afford them.
As for apologizing, for an aristocratic family to apologize to a powerful family, it is not a shameful thing in itself. It is even a glorious thing.
After all, any conflict between an aristocratic family and a powerful family will end in a very miserable situation. Being able to end with an apology is a victory in itself for the aristocratic family.
"Father, could the Qin family be involved in this matter?" Da Ximing asked cautiously. He remembered that Qin Xiu had mentioned that Qin Wushuang was going to the trial this time and seemed to be planning to go to Nanyun Prefecture to meet with the Ximen clan.
.
"Qin family? Ming'er, although the Qin family defeated the Xu family and won an unknown position in the wealthy family, do you think the Qin family's current strength can threaten the Ximen clan?" Da Xiheng asked rhetorically.
"Father, I think I can." Da Ximing was different from his father. He had a deeper admiration for Qin Wushuang.
"Ming'er, the son of the Qin family, my father admits that he is a monster, but you have to know that the leader of the Ximen Clan is at the peak of the ninth level of Zhenwu Realm! There is no force in Nanyun Prefecture that can make him change his mind...
There must be another hidden story behind this matter. Anyway, I decided to go to Zhoucheng in person to see what the Ximen Clan Master is..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a confidant from outside the door suddenly trotted in: "Master, there is a flying pigeon delivering a message."
Da Xiheng took the bamboo tube and pulled out the note inside. When he took a look, he couldn't help but be stunned. But then, his face showed a look of ecstasy.
"Father, where did the letter come from?" Seeing his father's expression, Da Ximing knew that this letter must have good news.
"Yang'er, he qualified! Moreover, he won the seventh place in the overall score of the Akagi Kingdom! And the Akagi Kingdom ranked first in the group among the four major kingdoms!" Da Xiheng sounded quite proud.
Suddenly, his expression changed, with a strange tone, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "Ming'er, my father takes back his views on the Qin family just now. I have to admit that my father's vision is not far-sighted enough when it comes to judging this matter."
"Father, could it be?"
"Qin Jiazi, in the trial, he won 600 points, beating the second place by several blocks. He was first individually, first as a team and had the highest contribution value..."
Da Xiheng's tone was full of envy, and he sighed: "The Qin family in Donglin was granted the title of king and marquis, and has been on the rise ever since. Ming'er, you have vision, you have vision!"
