Baili Mingyu led all the civil and military officials to stand under the city tower and looked at Xia Lie coming from afar. He was so happy that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. He was finally going to meet this young pillar of the country. From now on, he would be his most powerful shield.
Xia Lie didn't like his original name in the first place. The reason why he changed his name was firstly because he didn't want others to laugh at him because of his family connections, and secondly because he wanted to give her a surprise and show her that he was also a trustworthy person.
A good man who can make a world of difference in his family.
Getting closer and closer, Xia Lie's heart was beating fast, and he had never been as nervous as he was now, even when he went to the battlefield.
He looked around at the bright yellow people around him with expectant eyes. After careful inspection, he felt that she was not in them. His expectant eyes suddenly became less bright.
Finally reaching the bottom of the city tower, he dismounted and knelt down on one knee: "Long live the Five Emperors! Long live the Five Emperors!"
"Get married, Xia Aiqing. I didn't expect you to be so young. You are really young and promising. I am deeply gratified to have such a talented person in Wuleguo."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Xia Lie stood up, his eyes met Xia Zhan. Xia Zhan pushed back suddenly. When did this little brat change his name?
"Father, are you okay?" Xia Lie rushed forward to help Xia Zhan, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "My child is unfilial. I haven't come back to visit my father for so many years. Please forgive me!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar. This young general was actually the son of Xia Zhan. Sure enough, the Xia family was full of powerful generals.
The most shocked person was Baili Mingyu. The general he had waited so hard for so long actually belonged to the Xia family.
"Xia Aiqing, what's going on? Don't you want to explain it to me?"
Xia Lie stood up and said with a full face of apology: "Back to the emperor, I concealed my identity because I am afraid that others will look down on me because I am the son of Lord Xiahou. I am also afraid that they will give me convenience because of my identity. I
I just want to prove myself with my own strength and ask the emperor to forgive me!"
"Okay! Be ambitious!" Baili Mingyu had no choice but to ignore past grudges in order to win over this young and promising general. What he needs now is fresh blood. Those old ministers all have their own minds, and they all follow suit.
His skill as a helmsman is not that high, so how could he be so sincerely loyal to himself?
Xia Zhan thought Baili Mingyu would be angry, but he didn't expect his attitude to be unexpected. He quickly kicked Xia Lie on the butt and said, "You bastard, why don't you quickly thank the emperor? The emperor's magnanimity really makes me admire him."
The happiest person was Nalan Lingyu. He stood among the ministers and looked at Xia Lie carefully. No wonder the combat methods he used on the battlefield were similar to those in the Xia family's art of war. It turned out that this boy had changed them.
It's a talent.
Hu Wei stood aside and felt a little embarrassed. Now this young man had become the son of Mr. Xia Zhan for no reason. He couldn't be killed. Even if he could kill him, he couldn't kill him. He couldn't do it with his own strength.
He looked at Nalan Lingyu eagerly, it seemed that this weak scholar still needed to come forward at the critical moment.
Nalan Lingyu burst out laughing when she saw Hu Wei's expression. It turned out that there were times when General Hu was in trouble. It was really interesting.
Xia Lie still couldn't help but want to ask where Xia Qingxin was. When he was at the border, he had heard that his eldest sister had married into the palace. If it weren't for his eldest sister, he would not have chosen to join the army.
What he remembered most clearly was when she stood in the yard full of pear blossoms, looking very heroic. She pointed a sword at him and said: "A good man aims everywhere, not in a corner. Only by relying on his own ability can he make his way out."
Awe-inspiring.”
To this day, he still clearly remembers what she looked like back then. It was she who lit up a guiding light in his confused life.
"Dad, why didn't the eldest sister come? Where is the second sister?"
Xia Lie has never liked his mother since he was a child. In his memory, his mother is a picky person who doesn't care about his feelings at all and uses him as a tool to fight for favor.
Although the second sister is the sister of the same mother, she has not been very close to him since she was a child. Instead, she is the eldest sister. Despite her usual look of a playboy in clothes, the strange gadgets in his hands are all given to her by her.
Xia Lie has known since he was a child that his eldest sister is a good person with a cold face and a warm heart. Her indifferent appearance is just to protect himself, so he likes this eldest sister especially.
The reason why he did this was to show his achievements to his eldest sister one day, so that she could see what he had become, and that he could become the pillar of the family. He never thought that she would become the queen.
"You brat, let's go home first. You actually still have thoughts about your eldest and second sister. I won't break your dog legs when you come home. How dare you lie to me!"
Xia Zhan glared at Xia Lie fiercely and prepared to take him home. There would be a grand reception party in the evening, and that was when Baili Mingyu really started to award rewards.
In fact, Xia Zhan felt extremely proud. Seeing his son grow into something he had never imagined, he felt that the Xia family's ancestors were really eye-opening.
He didn't even care about the name he changed privately. It was just a name change, as long as the surname was still Xia.
"Dad, what do you mean is that the second sister has gone home?" After this understanding, Xia Lie finally understood the right and wrong between this.
It turns out that both sisters married into the palace, and each of them lived an unhappy life. Not all women end up in that golden cage.
"Dad, isn't it true that the eldest sister has given birth to the emperor's child? Why can't she live a comfortable life?"
After hearing his question, Xia Zhan sighed deeply and said, "You can find out when you go to Nalan Mansion. It's useless for me to talk too much. There are some things that you need to experience for yourself."
Xia Lie couldn't wait for a minute, so he drove directly to Nalan Mansion without seeing Xia Qingcheng. According to his father's words, the eldest sister had already made a private life-long arrangement with Nalan Lingyu before entering the palace. He wanted to see it.
Look at what kind of person this Nalan Lingyu is, so that a strong woman like the eldest sister can never forget him.
Nalan Lingyu had just returned to the house and was thinking about how to go to Xia's house to meet him and further interact with Xia Lie. Unexpectedly, Xia Lie himself came to his door.
"Master, there is a man calling himself Xia Lie outside the door asking to see him."
Xia Lie? Why is he here?
"Why don't you hurry up and invite him in." Nalan Lingyu got up and went to make tea in person to wait for Xia Lie. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Lord Nalan, Xia Lie doesn't need to introduce himself. Compared with Lord Nalan, he can see clearly below the tower today."
There was a strong smell of sex coming in before anyone came in. It seemed that Xia Lie was coming here with bad intentions.
"I am really impressed by how Captain Xia can intimidate a party at such a young age. However, seeing Captain Xia arrive in such a hurry, I wonder what's going on?"
Nalan Lingyu still looked calm and calm. He sat on the chair and poured Xia Lie a cup of tea with graceful movements. Suddenly, the fragrance of the tea filled the whole room.
Xia Lie gave him a thumbs up in his heart. He is such a good tea artist. His movements are elegant and he does not panic when encountering difficulties. His calm demeanor shows that he is not a common person.
"Sit down. If you have anything to do, just talk slowly. Don't be in a hurry." Nalan Lingyu had guessed the reason why he came. It seemed that it was because of Qingqing.
"Okay, since everyone is a cheerful person, I will tell you directly. Are you still disconnected from my eldest sister now?"
"So what?"
"Then do you know that as the mother of a country, doing such a thing is a serious crime to destroy the nine tribes?"
"So what if you know?"
"Then why don't you give up? My eldest sister is very happy in the palace. As a minister, you are not worthy of such a beautiful woman."
Xia Lie went straight to the point. He felt that since his eldest sister had married into the palace as a queen, and had given birth to a baby who was still a prince, he would protect their mother and son no matter what, and the future world could only belong to his nephew.
"This anger is difficult to obey. Qingqing can't live without me, and I can't live without her."
"You are shameless! Didn't you already take the princess as your wife? Why don't you give up!"
Xia Lie was a little annoyed. This man looked like a Daluo Jinxian, and even his temperament gave people a feeling of ecstasy. How could he say something so speechless?
"Because Baili Zhan's surname is Nalan, his name is Nalan Yi." Nalan Lingyu put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Xia Lie standing in the center of the room with a smile.
Xia Lie looked at his little face and felt that his consciousness was in a trance for a moment. This man was so good-looking that even a pure man like himself was fascinated by him.
But what he said just now is the key point. What does it mean to be Baili Zhan and not Baili Nalan? Could it be that the child is theirs?
"You mean my nephew and your son? You..." Xia Lie couldn't continue. No wonder his father sighed when he mentioned this matter.
If Baili Mingyu knew about this matter, it would not be a matter of death. I am afraid that even if they were dead, they would be dug out of their graves and their bodies whipped again.
"Why did you tell me? Aren't you afraid that I would report you?"
"You don't know how. You can see how much you respect and love you from your eyes." Nalan Lingyu picked up the tea cup and took another sip of tea. He could see this man's character from his face.
"I'm really convinced by you! Then are you planning to continue like this for the rest of your life?"
Xia Lie felt that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he sat down on the chair and took a sip of tea. Now he was still in the mood to drink tea. He was really calm.
"Tea is for tasting, don't drink it like this, it will spoil the tea." Nalan Lingyu still looked at Xia Lie with that expression, like a master who didn't care about the worldly affairs.
"You still have the heart to lecture me like this now! I'm asking you, do you plan to stay like this for the rest of your life? Are you willing to let your child have someone else's surname?"
"Otherwise? What else can I do?" Nalan Lingyu was testing Xia Lie. He said this because he wanted to see what kind of person Xia Lie was.
"What should I do? You won't work hard to replace me. My eldest sister is such a proud woman. How can she endure such loneliness in the palace?"
Xia Lie lay on Nalan Lingyu's ear and whispered, this is the plan for this matter to have a good result. (To be continued)
