Xu Xiao felt even more guilty and opened his mouth, but still couldn't say anything.
Feeling guilty, I couldn't bear to let him, a man who killed so many people and was known as the mass murderer, act like an ordinary old father who loved his daughter at this moment.
"Since you don't want to talk, dad, then I'll call my second sister and Fengnian over and listen together." Xu Zhihu's eyes flashed narrowly and he said with a teasing smile.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," he said, and Xu Xiao quickly waved his hand. If those two people knew about it, he would not have to say goodbye during this period of time.
He coughed a few times, lowered his eyes, and said in a very tactful tone: "Zhihu, dad just wants to ask you, what do you think of Black Dragon City in the north?"
"Black Dragon City?" Xu Zhihu frowned slightly, a little puzzled, but still said in a deep voice: "The Black Dragon City in the north has unified the territory, is ambitious, and will definitely look at all directions.
And the first target is probably our five countries."
As she spoke, her tone became serious.
Xu Xiao looked at his daughter with relief, then immediately turned away, not confident enough and said: "Then what do you think of City Lord Li?"
Xu Zhihu's face was even more puzzled. She shouldn't be asking this question, but he still replied seriously: "That Lord Li of City is a man of great talent and strategy, and he is truly a rare and outstanding figure throughout the ages.
Dad, what do you mean-"
After a sudden pause, he seemed to have thought of something, his expression became serious, and he looked at his old father quietly.
He didn't say anything, but there was an invisible pressure.
Xu Xiao couldn't sit still, knowing that his smart daughter had realized something. He gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said quickly: "Zhihu, if dad betroths you to that City Lord Li, what do you think?"
After saying that, he quickly raised his head and waved his hands and explained: "Dad, this is not about sacrificing you and letting you get married.
I know a lot about Mr. Li Cheng. He is only in his thirties this year, and no young man can match him in all aspects.
Although he has married more than a dozen wives, all of them are young and old, and he has never neglected any of them. He is a rare male who treats his family very well.
If I marry you to him, you will never be wronged or bullied in this life."
Xu Xiao tried his best to explain, and Xu Zhihu listened quietly. His face was stiff at first, but gradually softened, and he lowered his head silently.
The expressionless look on Xu Xiao's face made Xu Xiao more and more panicked.
He firmly promised: "Zhihu, don't worry, dad will not force you, everything depends on your wishes.
If you don't want to, we won't get married. You don't have to marry for the rest of your life. Dad will support you."
"Ah."
Suddenly, Xu Zhihu laughed, like a hundred flowers blooming, his silver bell-like laughter was crisp and sweet, revealing a bit of joy, and he said coquettishly: "How can I let my father raise my daughter for the rest of her life?"
"It's okay, dad is willing." Xu Xiao felt relieved when he saw his daughter smiling, and said with a nonchalant smile. He didn't have the majesty of King Beiliang at all.
Xu Zhihu slightly raised his delicate chin and thought like a little girl. After counting his breaths, he felt a little shy and said openly: "The Lord of Black Dragon City is indeed a rare good match. My daughter can be married."
"Ah, you just agree?
You can think about it again, don't be in a hurry, think about it carefully and don't be in a hurry." Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said solemnly.
"Dad, do you want your daughter to get married? Or do you not want your daughter to get married?" Xu Zhihu said with a dumbfounded look.
"Well, there's no rush anyway, you should think about it carefully first.
You must think it over before speaking." Xu Xiao felt a little complicated and even more guilty.
"Well, my daughter will think it over carefully." Xu Zhihu smiled and said gently.
"Well, think about it carefully." Xu Xiao nodded, but his eyes became even more evasive, not daring to look at Xu Zhihu.
The guilt took root deep in my heart.
After a while, Xu Zhihu left and went back to his room alone.
Xu Xiao looked downcast and lonely, and felt very painful in his heart.
he knows.
How could he not know?
How could Zhihu, a smart and silly boy, refuse?
She would definitely act as if nothing had happened, and even agree happily.
Why, why can't you be more willful?
Dad, Dad, I'm sorry for you.
the other side.
Xu Zhihu, who looked relaxed, returned to the room all the way. Until then, his dignified and beautiful face turned into a lonely and absent-minded one.
He stared blankly towards the south and did not move for a long time.
I don't know how long it took, but I lowered my eyes and suppressed all my emotions in my heart.
In this life, there may be no destiny.
Three days later.
Xu Zhihu took the initiative to find Xu Xiao and repeated the answer he gave last time.
Xu Xiao smiled a little reluctantly and asked solemnly again, but still got the same answer.
December 19th.
Chuanying and Ruxin came to Beiliang Prince's Mansion again and once again invited Xu Xiao to Black Dragon City and married Xu Zhihu.
Xu Xiao still didn't respond.
The two left.
December 29th, the eve of New Year’s Eve.
When the Prince's Mansion of Beiliang was in a state of joy, Liao Ruxin came to visit for the third time.
This time, Xu Xiao took the two of them into a secret room, and Li Yishan followed them.
"I want greater sincerity." Xu Xiao said coldly and resolutely.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Liao Ruxin was shocked and prepared to prepare.
"I want City Lord Li to love and protect my daughter forever, and I want him to swear an oath." Xu Xiao said without any doubt.
Liao Ruxin pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "I will report it to the city lord immediately."
Xu Xiao was not surprised. If Liao Ruxin could agree to such a thing on behalf of Li Daoqiang, then he wouldn't be able to rest assured.
His tone softened a bit: "Okay, I'll wait for your answer."
"What else does the prince have to ask for?" Liao Ruxin asked.
"No more. With that promise, I only have this condition." Xu Xiao said calmly and decisively.
Liao Ruxin was startled and paid more attention to the person in front of her.
No matter what the real reason is, Xu Xiao, who only made this request, is definitely an extremely smart person.
Even Chuanying, who had remained silent, took another look at the prince.
"I understand. I will reply to the prince as quickly as possible." Liao Ruxin lowered her attitude.
Without it, the two parties are almost like a family.
And the other party's status must be above him.
Without saying anything more, Liao Ruxin and the others left.
Two days later, Xu Xiao's conditions reached Li Daoqiang's hands as quickly as possible.
After reading it, Li Daoqiang laughed out loud.
The Prince's Palace of Northern Liang is already in the palm of your hand, and the five southern countries are not far away.
"Let Ruxin tell me about this father-in-law, and I will swear it in public.
When the time comes, I will definitely let him see my sincerity and never let him down." Li Daoqiang ordered without hesitation.
"Yes." Bai Xiaosheng, dressed in white, responded respectfully and immediately went down to do some work.
Li Daoqiang's eyes were shining and he looked south quickly.
