The news that Chief Inspector Long Xiao actually came to see Zixuan really gave Shen Zhui a headache.
What kind of strength is Long Xiao? With a true god like this, he has no chance at all.
After being silent for a while, Shen Zhui looked down and found that Zixuan had fallen asleep in his arms.
After learning about Long Xiao's arrival, Zixuan actually considered countless possibilities along the way. Then she learned from Huang Li the news that Shen Zhui was proposed to be married by Lan Linghou. Then her sweetheart expressed her feelings, and even He was willing to give up his fame and take her away... With his mood ups and downs, he felt a moment of warmth in Shen Zhui's arms, and his mind immediately relaxed, and he actually fell asleep.
The technique she practices is inherently unique. She usually has to suppress her cultivation level. This magical secret method has great benefits. After relaxing the suppression, Zixuan's original cultivation level is slowly exposed.
Shen Zhui was surprised to find that Zixuan's level had risen all the way from the peak of Lingqiao, and she soon broke through the realm of supernatural power, and reached the peak of supernatural power all the way!
However, Shen Zhui didn't ask anything at this time. After discovering that Zixuan was normal, he immediately kissed her on the forehead, gently picked her up and placed her on the soft bed in the courtyard pavilion.
Looking at Zixuan's frowning face while she was sleeping soundly, and at the wet tears at the corners of her eyes, Shen Zhui gently held her hand that was holding the hem of his clothes tightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Zen Xin, is there any way you can avoid the detection of the dragon?" In the cave world, Shen Zhui's soul Yuan Ling looked at Zen Xin.
"It's not very successful." Zen Xin also sighed. Of course he already knew what happened just now, and had been thinking of countermeasures for a long time, but facing the true god, and Long Xiao who was carrying the Emperor's Sword, Zen Xin didn't know what to do. Method. After all, Venerable Ciyun is also the ninth level of Venerable.
"That's too strong, Shen Zhui. That Long Xiao is too strong. He's even stronger than your teacher." Chan Xin said. "What's more, Ji Zixuan is the daughter of the Human Emperor and a princess with a very important status. Your current cultivation Because, I'm afraid if I can't cross the Canglan River, I'll have to be blocked. By then, there will be no good results waiting for you and her. You can't bear the crime of holding the Princess of Zhou. If the Human Emperor is angry, even your master and brothers will suffer. .
The most likely reason is to protect the honor of the princess. Once you do this, you will definitely die quietly."
"As for her, her memory will be erased and brought back to the palace."
"So, Shen Zhui, you can't take this step." Zen Xin advised.
"But I have no choice." Shen Zhui shook his head. "I can't just watch her marry someone she doesn't like and be treated as a victim of a political marriage."
"No, maybe there are other ways." Zen became anxious. "Shen Zhui, don't be stupid. I can guarantee that every move you make now is in the eyes of others. Once you dare to take her away from Luo Xuefeng, you will be You can’t even get out of Wanfeng City!”
"Then think about it!" Shen Zhui said with red eyes.
"Marquis Wu'an, go find Marquis Wu'an!" Chan Xin said. "Now, the only person who is qualified to speak is Wu'an Marquis Zhao Xing."
"Now he wants to be crowned king, and he will be crowned king for his military exploits. If he is willing to intercede for you, there may be a chance for a change!"
As soon as Zen Xin reminded him, Shen Zhui suddenly understood, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
Yes! Zhao Xing, the Marquis of Wu'an, is a strong man who can be crowned king. He is a man of few words, but the Marquis of Wu'an is different. Maybe he really has a chance!
Huh~ Shen Zhui immediately created a clone and stayed at the same place, continuing to accompany Zixuan, while the main body hurried to Tianxin Palace.
Tianxin Palace.
"General Shenwei, wait a minute." A soldier blocked Shen Zhui's path. This man was a personal soldier of Marquis Wu'an. "The Marquis has important matters to deal with, and it is not convenient to see people at the moment."
"Sir Wang." Shen Zhui quickly raised his hands and said, "I have something important to report, please let me know."
"Shen Zhui, I have already said that it is not convenient for the Marquis to see people, don't you understand?" Wang Lei frowned. "If there is something important, you can go to Lei Xing Palace to discuss it with the palace masters."
With Shen Zhui's current status, most matters in the army can now be discussed and decided with the other palace masters.
"Can Mr. Wang afford to delay the military situation?" Shen Zhui had some anger in his eyes and was no longer polite.
"This is my duty, Shen Zhui. Don't bother me, and retreat quickly!" Wang Lei said expressionlessly.
Just when the atmosphere became tense, a voice suddenly came out.
"Wang Lei, let him come in."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Wang Lei nodded respectfully, then stepped aside. "General Shen, please come in."
Shen Zhui didn't care about Wang Lei and ran in quickly.
In the spacious hall, Marquis Wu'an was sitting cross-legged on a long bed. Zhao Xing was wearing a white robe at the moment, and there was a wide and long coffee table on the bed.
"Master Hou, I..." Shen Zhui just wanted to speak.
"Sit down." Marquis Wu An waved his hand and pointed to the opposite side of the coffee table.
"I don't dare." Shen Zhui's attitude was very low.
"How can we talk about things when we are not calm?" Marquis Wu An said calmly. "Sit down and talk."
"Yes." Shen Zhui stopped refusing and floated to the long bed, sitting opposite Marquis Wu An.
"Come on, have a taste." Zhao Xing gently pushed the tea cup in front of Shen Zhui. "The dragon's nest leaves that Xia Jing, the prince of Liang Dynasty, gave to me are the last wave of new tea before winter, and they come from the South China Sea. Shipped here."
"Xia Jing's grounding has been lifted?" Shen Zhui was slightly surprised. But calculating the time, it was almost this time. At this moment, Shen Zhui didn't have the time to think about it, so he immediately picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"The way to chew peonies is wrong." Marquis Wu An chuckled. "This is not how you taste tea."
Having said that, Teacup was filled with pride and was pushed in front of Shen Zhui again.
Shen Zhui opened his mouth to speak, but glanced at the teacup, thoughtfully, took a deep breath, and picked up the teacup again.
Strangely enough, this time, Shen Zhui became much calmer, the tea was calm, and his mood returned to peace.
"Not bad." Marquis Wu An nodded with satisfaction. He also picked up a glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Why does the Marquis drink tea like this?"
"Because your mind is calm now, no matter what you do, it is the most correct way. But if your mind is not calm, no matter what you do, it will be full of flaws."
"I will teach you." Shen Zhui cupped his hands. It was obvious that Marquis Wu An was trying to remind himself not to act rashly. Zen Xin was indeed right. Escape would not work. At least, Marquis Wu An would not tolerate it. On the eve of the start of the battle to seal the king, something like this happened!
"Do you all know?" Marquis Wu An asked.
"I know everything I need to know." Shen Zhui nodded.
"I'm still calm. I knew I would come here first."
"Please show me a clear path, Lord Marquis." Shen Zhui moved a few steps back and bowed down.
"I have arranged a road for you, and it is a broad road." Marquis Wu An said calmly. "The Yun sisters have both political integrity and talent. In order for you to gain a foothold, I will even let Marquis Lan Ling come to Luoxue Peak in person."
"Your Majesty, you stoop down and give money to others... Do you think that just because you are Yun Duo's junior brother, the Yun family will give you so many benefits in vain?"
"How else do you want me to guide you?"
Shen Zhui was shocked.
Indeed, Yun Kang was the Marquis of Lan Ling, so how could he condescend to meet his adopted father and adopted mother? He could have sent an elder of the Yun family to come, and there was no need for the head of the family to come in person.
"My Lord Marquis is so kind, I am very grateful to you, but Shen Zhui just wants to be with Zixuan." Shen Zhui said sincerely.
"Since you know her identity, you should know that she is not only Princess Anle, but also the sole heir of Xuanyue Xiandao!"
Marquis Wu An snorted coldly: "Shen Zhui, should I say that you are arrogant or wishful thinking? Do you think His Majesty will agree?"
"Whether the Marquis believes it or not, my subordinate's liking for her has nothing to do with her identity!" Shen Zhui sighed. "My subordinate hopes that she is just from an ordinary family."
"She is a pure spirit body, born with magical powers! No matter which source of enlightenment she has, she is naturally close to her. She also has the guidance of famous teachers in the world, and has been blessed by Yuanting. She has overcome cultivation and realized the realm again. The strange thing about her now As you have seen, there will be no obstacles for her to become a revered person, and even a true god will have hope in the future!"
"Even without the Xuanyue Fairy Island section, it would be difficult for you to marry such a talented princess! What's more, the Fan family has proposed marriage many times, and His Majesty has pretended to reject it twice. He will never go back this time. I will refuse it a third time!”
"My subordinates believe that everything depends on their own efforts, and they will not hesitate to pay the price with their lives!"
"What if I don't agree?" Marquis Wu An said coldly.
Shen Zhui remained silent and motionless.
After a while, Marquis Wu An sighed, waved his hand and said, "Get up."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your help!" Shen Zhui stood up happily.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me," said Marquis Wu An. "This matter is very difficult, and the risk is not small."
"As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to die for the Marquis." Shen Zhui said sincerely.
"Hmph, for me to take such a big risk, you will definitely have the opportunity to contribute."
After a pause, Marquis Wu An continued:
"If the Fan family wants to propose marriage, it must be done on a more solemn occasion and after confirming that the princess has returned to the city. This is the most basic respect for the royal family."
"It's December now, and Princess Anle will return to Beijing at the end of the month."
"I will delay it a little bit and let Xuan Yatou return to the capital a few days later, and miss the palace banquet first."
"As for the Lantern Festival in the future, you go tell Girl Xuan and let her figure it out on her own. With her intelligence, she won't be able to trouble her with this little thing."
"According to the timing, the Winter Hunting Banquet will be held in January, but the Winter Hunting Banquet is too evil and is not a good time to propose marriage."
"There are temple ceremonies in February, March and April, and the Fan family will not propose marriage during the ancestral temple ceremonies."
"There is no scruple about the First Si Festival in April, but April is the sacrificial ceremony of Xuanyue Fairy Island. Fairy Xuanyue returns to Fairy Island to visit her relatives. As long as Xuan Yatou persuades her mother, she will leave early and drag her to Xuanyue Fairy Island. One month is not difficult."
Shen Zhui nodded. Marquis Wu'an also had considerable influence in the court. This could be seen from the egalitarian attitude of the Grand Inspector and the title Zixuan gave to Marquis Wu'an.
Even if there was a sudden proposal of marriage among the Fan family, it would not necessarily be difficult for Marquis Wu An to stop it secretly on the grounds of etiquette.
Especially since the battle for Wu'an Hou to be crowned king is about to begin, there are still many people in the court who want to curry favor with the future King of Zhao.
"But if we continue to delay, by May, the Fan family will definitely find something unusual and propose marriage no matter what. Moreover, there are many auspicious days in May, such as May 18th, which is His Majesty's birthday."
"No matter how much Princess Anle shirks her appearance at the emperor's birthday banquet, it is impossible not to show up. There is no way to delay it."
"Then what should we do?" Shen Zhui became anxious.
"There is only one possibility." Marquis Wu An raised a finger.
"I have finished the battle for the title of king!"
"Besides, you are qualified to be granted a title!"
Shen Zhui's eyes lit up!
Marquis Wu'an said proudly: "I am granted the title of King of Zhao, so my status is naturally completely different."
"In addition, you have made outstanding achievements and become a marquis in one battle. Then it will be logical for me to propose marriage for you at His Majesty's birthday banquet!"
"At that time, Zhao Guo was newly established, and the general's military exploits were the best birthday gift. Maybe he could make His Majesty change his mind!"
Shen Zhui suddenly became excited.
Indeed, according to what Wu Anhou said, it is really possible for him to defeat the Fan family!
Marquis Wu An said calmly: "If you want to get this chance, you have only one way now, and there is no other way."
"Shen Zhui, you have to think clearly. This is not an easy road."
"You only have five months at most."
"If something goes wrong in the battle to seal the king, or if your merits are not enough, or if everyone in the Fan family is alert, then everything will be in vain."
"And, in order to make others speechless, I will definitely use you to death!"
"The difficulties and dangers involved are beyond words, so you have to think about it!"
"If you refuse now, I can still let you enjoy the glory and wealth, and the Yun family's marriage will continue as usual."
"I hate people suppressing subordinates the most. As long as you have the ability to become a marquis, I will not block your way."
Even if your military exploits are slightly inferior, I can still lift you up after I become the king."
"The new king is about to be established, and there is no such thing. No one will offend me for such a trivial matter."
"Two options, you decide for yourself."
After saying that, Marquis Wu An picked up the teacup again and quietly waited for Shen Zhui's reply.
"Subordinate, choose the first option!" Shen Zhui said without hesitation.
"Okay." A smile appeared on Marquis Wu An's face.
"Go back and prepare well. This month is your last time. But remember not to do anything extraordinary. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you right now!"
"Subordinate, thank you Lord Marquis!" Shen Zhui thanked him again and then slowly left.
After Shen Zhui left, Marquis Wu An's face returned to calm.
"Master Marquis, why do you want to help Shen Zhui like this? If this matter goes wrong, I'm afraid it will not end well."
"Even if he succeeds, the Marquis will definitely provoke enemies like Fan Xiang, which will affect his career." A voice appeared in the ears of Marquis Wu'an.
"Official career?" Marquis Wu An smiled softly, as if he remembered something, and mocked himself: "My official career has been delayed for more than two hundred years, and I am still afraid of this?"
"Eighteen, wait and see, maybe this kid will surprise me."
