Chapter 277: Resign yourself to fate(2/3)
"What? Is this true?"
"It's incredible. There is such a good thing?"
After hearing this, several people in the courtyard gathered around and talked among themselves.
Li Mochou stood there in a daze, with tears in her eyes.
After all, Lu Chengfeng was the calm one. He took the letter that Huang Rong threw in his hand and read it at a glance.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
"Fourth Senior Brother already thinks this is true?"
Guo Mo was a little surprised by Lu Chengfeng's reaction. It seemed that he had known something for a long time.
"Haha, I have just received information that officials from the Ministry of Etiquette are coming to Xixia. They just arrived in Taiyuan two days ago, but the specific content is unknown."
"I also have a letter here that just came from Lin'an. It was written by an official, and the paint is still there."
As Lu Chengfeng spoke, he carefully took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Guo Mo.
Guo Mo smiled bitterly, this father can really find trouble for himself, how could he agree to such a marriage?
Guo Mo thought that in the letter, the officials were explaining to him the marriage to Xixia. After opening it and reading it, he was even more at a loss.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, are you okay?"
Seeing Guo Mo standing there motionless, Lu Chengfeng asked cautiously.
"Hey, today is really a 'good day'. Fourth senior brother, you should also take a look."
Guo Mo had nothing to hide from Lu Chengfeng, both publicly and privately.
What gives Guo Mo a headache is that he doesn't know how to explain the marriage to Xixia to Huang Rong, and now it happens again?
"Ah, King Yongnan of Luo's Ghost Kingdom has arrived in Lin'an and wants to study there? The officials actually took him to Peach Blossom Island?"
Not many people know the life experience of King Yongnan, but there are also quite a few, and Lu Chengfeng happens to be one of them.
"Brother, I won't write a reply. Please go back and tell the leader of your family that I, Guo Mo, will be guarding this land in Yinzhou. If there is any trouble, he can come to Yinzhou.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Let’s talk about the marriage, is there any reason to not use the city that is handed over to you?
After receiving Guo Mo's reply, the visitor from Xixia didn't stop and turned around to leave.
"Fourth Senior Brother, since this is the situation now, you should immediately send someone to Taiyuan and ask Meng Gong to personally lead the 30,000 "Dunwu Army" to garrison here."
"Fourth brother, you go out now. Guanying and you guys will also help us, call back all the horse thieves who were lurking before, and officially take over Yinzhou City."
"In addition, Fourth Senior Brother, please think about another announcement to calm the people. Without mentioning the marriage, just show that I, the Yan Palace of the Great Song Dynasty, have taken over Yinzhou from the King of Great Xia."
"The policies implemented before will remain unchanged for the time being. Then hurry up to Luoyang and ask Zhao Changshi to send some officials over."
Li Dewang, the king of Xixia, played a trick at the end. He first notified his people to evacuate completely, and then sent a letter to Guo Mo two days later?
It seems that the other party also knows his whereabouts in Xixia very well.
Everyone stopped practicing martial arts. With such a big change happening suddenly, everyone had to get busy first.
Fortunately, the horse thief army, plus the "Ting Feng" people, plus the Yan King's escort army, there are only a thousand people at their disposal. Without the invasion of foreign enemies, there is no problem in maintaining law and order in the city.
As for the places under Yinzhou, we can only wait for Meng Gong's "Dunwu Army" and Zhao Rushu from Luoyang to send people before making plans.
In the busy courtyard, only Guo Mo and Li Mochou were left.
"Brother Mo, you'd better go to the backyard to comfort my eldest sister..."
For the first time in several months, Li Mochou called Guo Mo "Brother Mo". Ever since Huang Rong chased him to the battlefield in Hebei, the two of them seemed to have been estranged from each other until a year ago.
"Okay, what you should face will eventually have to be faced. Mo Chou, you should also come with us."
Guo Mo has been struggling, not only with the matter itself, but more importantly with his own inability to convince himself.
"I...is it appropriate for me to go?"
Li Mochou didn't wait for the answer. Guo Mo had already turned around and walked towards the back house, and Li Mochou had no choice but to follow.
The only characteristic of the house Guo Mo bought in Yinzhou City is that it is "big", which is also in line with the characteristics of the northwest. The land is vast and sparsely populated, so there is no shortage of land.
Even the courtyard of the back house is five feet square, which is more than enough even for practicing martial arts here.
Huang Rong did not return to the house, and the weather was still hot. Guo Mo had a small pavilion built on the west side of the back yard.
It is a good choice for three or five people to sit around and drink tea in summer.
Huang Rong was sitting there at this time, holding a teapot and pouring water into the teacup. The water overflowed and she didn't even notice.
"Rong'er, let me do it -"
Guo Mo walked closer, reached out and took the teapot, picked up another teacup, poured a cup into it, and handed it to Huang Rong.
Huang Rong took it and drank it in one gulp.
"Brother Mo, how long have we known each other?"
After drinking a book of tea, Huang Rong asked calmly.
Guo Mo didn't understand what he meant, but he answered honestly.
"It has been seven and a half years since I first met you at Changqing Tower in Zhangjiakou. You were not yet sixteen years old at that time..."
Time flies so fast. As Huang Rong asks, everything that happened in the past few years seems to have happened yesterday.
"Yes, it has been more than seven years. I was not yet sixteen at that time. Now I am the mother of three children. Yi'er and Xiang'er are both over four years old."
"Brother Mo, you have always taken good care of me for more than seven years, whether it was the young boy who just came back from the desert or the current King Yan of the Song Dynasty."
"But, I know that you don't belong to me alone. Sooner or later, you will have another woman. I am afraid every time I think of this..."
"Rong'er, please stop talking. I will not agree to this political marriage. Don't worry, I..."
Seeing Huang Rong talking so calmly, as if she was telling someone else's story, it was so calm that Guo Mo felt heartbroken.
"Brother Mo, I know you are good to me. No matter how many women you have, I believe you will never forget me. I'm just not used to sharing you with strange women."
When she said this, Huang Rong couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.
Li Mochou stood aside silently, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know if she was shedding tears with Huang Rong, or if she was feeling sad in her heart.
"You are His Royal Highness King Yan of the Song Dynasty, and in the future you will be an official of the Song Dynasty. You will also want to be an emperor who unifies the world and reorganizes China. How can you become the laughing stock of the world because of my existence?"
"In the Great Song Dynasty, there are officials and important ministers present. After several years of hard work, there is basically no resistance."
"Hedong, Guanzhong, and Hebei are also in our hands. The Kingdom of Jin is no longer a concern. Now the Xixia battlefield will be the place where several forces will finally compete. How can you not take this Yinzhou?"
"If you can capture Yinzhou without spending a single soldier, you will have the title of Prince Consort of Xixia. In the future, if you want to expel all forces in Xixia, you will be able to change your name more legitimately."
"Rong'er, please stop talking. The more you say this, the more I feel sorry for you..."
How could Guo Mo not think of what Huang Rong said?
However, in his original plan, he just wanted to become a proud couple with Huang Rong, and have three or five children to look after him.
When the children grow up, I will travel around the world with Huang Rong.
How did it become like this?
"Brother Mo, this Xixia's 'Princess of Yincheng', since the ruler and officials of the other party have approved it, and they have handed over Yinzhou to you first, you must marry her!"
"However, before you marry this 'Princess of Silver City' whom you have never met, you must promise me something! It seems that we have known each other for more than seven years, and apart from saving my mother, I haven't asked you for anything, right?"
Huang Rong suddenly said solemnly. Such a tone made both Guo Mo and Li Mochou feel unfamiliar.
"Rong'er, do you still need to use the word 'begging' between you and me? As long as I can do it, you can just say it -"
Huang Rong already understands justice to this extent, how can Guo Mo let her down again?
"Gee, my request is very simple. Before you marry the 'Princess Yincheng' of Xixia, your second sister, Mochou Mingyuan, must be allowed to marry—"
"What?--"
"Sister?——"
Huang Rong's words shocked the other two people in the yard.
"Why, brother Mo, don't you agree?"
"I......"
Guo Mo is also a flesh-and-blood person, and Li Mochou is an outstanding woman in every aspect, and the two have been alone together for more than half a year.
Especially last year, when she was trapped in a secret cave in Zhongnan Mountain, Li Mochou was even more worried. She completely lost her appearance.
However, it seems that if he really wants to marry her, that is not the case.
"If you don't refuse, I'll take it as your promise. Second sister, aren't you willing to marry Brother Mo?"
"I......"
Where is the poison in the palm of the Five Poison Gods? The ice in the palm is melting!
Isn't she willing?
