Jiang Chang looked sulky, this Lian Zhan is really shameless!

First, outside the door, I saw that His Royal Highness did not welcome him in directly, but had to wait for the announcement.

After he came in, he didn't even let the prince sit down. He just asked him to stand and wait under the scorching sun.

Now, His Royal Highness is actually invited to enter the room. It is only a side room, and he has not even entered the main hall.

This Lian Zhan is really a powerful person.

Li Yunxing gave Jiang Chang a wink, telling him not to be impulsive and that I would have my own sense of proportion in everything.

Only then did Jiang Chang restrain his anger and did not explode immediately.

Lian Zhan sat on the main seat and arranged Li Yunxing on the guest chair.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. After all, you are on a tour incognito today and are not paying an official visit. Due to circumstances and reasons, I can only arrange for you to sit in the guest chair."

Li Yunxing waved his hand nonchalantly.

"General Lian is a veteran of our dynasty, and it is human nature to want to sit on the throne. Just don't spread the word that General Lian doesn't know etiquette, justice, and integrity."

Li Yunxing praised and disparaged openly, and his words made Lian Zhan choke to death.

However, Li Yunxing's words still made Lian Zhan treat him differently, and the original hostility immediately dissipated.

"I wonder what the purpose of Your Highness the Crown Prince's visit to the humble residence is?" Lian Zhan went straight to the topic.

Li Yunxing said calmly: "I came here this time to ask for the marriage of General Lian Jirou, his beloved daughter. I hope General Lian can agree."

Lian Zhan's expression changed and he said in surprise: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to marry my daughter?"

Lian Jirou is Lian Zhan's only daughter. She is still young and has just passed her hair age.

Li Yunxing nodded and said: "My father is seriously ill in bed, but he still worries about the general's beloved daughter finding a good home. That's why I came up with the proposal to marry General Lian. I ask the general to consider it carefully."

Lian Zhan took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.

"My little girl is young and has a naughty personality. I am afraid she is not worthy of His Highness the Prince's daughter."

"Oh? Are you not worthy of me, or do you think I am not worthy of your daughter?"

As soon as Li Yunxing said these words, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

"I don't dare." Lian Zhan gritted his teeth and glared at Li Yunxing.

Li Yunxing remained calm and met his gaze with open eyes, as if he didn't notice Lian Zhan's increasingly cold expression at all.

Lian Zhan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm his irritable heart.

"Your Highness, I will excuse my arrogance. You can choose the most beautiful wives in the world, and there are many virtuous and virtuous people. Why do you choose my Jirou? Is there anything special about her?"

Hearing this question, Li Yunxing did not feel dissatisfied and said calmly: "What I admire is General Lian, a man of great talent and strategy. Your only daughter should be a model of maternal kindness to the world."

Li Yunxing said something very beautiful and praised Lian Zhan.

But Lian Zhan was unfazed, because he knew that Li Yunxing was definitely more than just admiring him.

"His Royal Highness is joking. When it comes to talent, I feel ashamed."

Then he added: "For such a noble person as His Royal Highness, how do you know that Ji Rou is not as good as you imagined?"

"Is General Lian going to disobey the imperial edict?"

Lian Zhan's expression suddenly changed.

"I don't dare." Lian Zhan lowered his head and said.

"If you really don't dare, then accept the betrothal gift."

Lian Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "Is His Highness the Crown Prince forcing me to do this?"

"If you don't want to, I will never force you." Li Yunxing said calmly.

"But, what if this betrothal gift is the military power of the northwest?" Li Yunxing smiled and pondered.

Lian Zhan's expression changed again, and he stared at Li Yunxing, as if he wanted to read the answer from his eyes.

But Li Yunxing just smiled and said nothing.

Lian Zhan suddenly fell silent, his eyes flashing with an incomprehensible light.

He had been on the battlefield for more than ten years and was accustomed to a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife. However, Emperor Wu recalled him to the court and nominally gave him the position of Grand Sima, but withdrew his military power.

For the brave and skilled generals, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, but it was a helpless move.

When Li Yunxing saw Lian Zhan's reaction, he knew he had guessed correctly.

The goal of Li Yunxing's trip was actually to get Lian Zhan back on the battlefield.

He knew that Lian Zhan would not be willing to be imprisoned for life, so using military power as bait was the best way to get the other party to compromise.

Lian Zhan loved his only daughter, and as long as he married Lian Jirou as the crown prince, he would not worry that Lian Zhan would rebel.

This can be regarded as establishing Li Yunxing's unique power in the court.

Li Yunxing tapped his fingers on the table a few times, thinking quickly about the pros and cons in his mind.

Lian Zhan was silent for a long time before finally asking, "The military power in the northwest is in Wu Simiao's hands. How can your highness give it to me?"

Sure enough, it worked.

Li Yunxing sneered secretly in his heart.

"Since I dare to make a promise, I can certainly do it." Li Yunxing said proudly.

After saying that, he took out the half of the Gecko Talisman from his arms.

As soon as he saw the tiger symbol, Lian Zhan's eyes immediately lit up.

He held the tiger talisman with both hands and looked left and right, as if it was a fine antique.

After careful inspection, he found that the tiger talisman was indeed real.

Then, there was another long silence.

Lian Zhan may be in a battle between heaven and man. Whether he wants power or his daughter's happiness, he has not been able to get the answer for a long time.

Li Yunxing understood that at this time he only needed to give Lian Zhan a push.

"General, what are your concerns?"

"My little daughter has been with me since she was a child. She has been living and eating in the military camp, and she has acquired a lot of mischievousness. Although I am greedy for power, I am reluctant to let my little daughter suffer."

"I promise not to treat her badly, and the food and clothing expenses will be absolutely unparalleled," Li Yunxing said in a persuasive manner.

Lian Zhan was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "Why don't Your Highness go and see the little girl on your own? If she agrees, I will no longer stop you."

"Okay!" Li Yunxing nodded.

After a while, Lian Zhan took Li Yunxing and Li Yunxing's bodyguards to the door of Lian Jirou's boudoir.

"Ji Rou, come out to meet the guests."

"Jirou..."

Lian Zhan called outside the door for a long time, but there was no sound inside the house.

Then he asked the maid to open the door and enter. Unexpectedly, there was a little maid kneeling in the hall, crying so hard.

"Stop crying, where is the lady?" Major Lieutenant Nian asked quickly.

"Miss...Miss said that Master Liu Yin invited her to see a fantasy show today, so he climbed over the wall and ran away!"

Speaking of Lian Jirou, Lian Zhan also has a headache!

Other women always stay close to home, but Lian Jirou is a different kind, wanting to run out all day long.

But today I was bumped into by the prince who came to propose marriage!

"Fantasy show?" Li Yunxing asked.

"Legend has it that several illusionists came from Haixi Kingdom. Master Liu Yin specially invited them from Yangzhou to perform illusions. Many princes and noble ladies were invited."

"Where is the lady? Let the captain capture her immediately."

"Right among the water and clouds of the capital city."

Just as Lian Zhan was about to send someone to go, Li Yunxing suddenly interrupted him.

"General Lian, there is no need to worry about it. I will pick him up personally!"

"How is this appropriate?"
