Great Jin, Qianzhou, Western Capital
Qianzhou was located in the western part of the Great Jin's territory. It was originally named Western Capital, but after several changes of name, it was finally named Western Capital.
Western Capital was the capital of the Great Jin, the capital city, under the feet of the Emperor, the best district!
Naturally, it was incomparably prosperous. Every day, the roads were filled with endless streams of carriages and pedestrians. It was the heart of the entire Great Jin.
Western Capital was 180 feet high. It was completely built with sturdy green stones. Between the stones, it was difficult to drill through even with an awl. It was known as the world's most sturdy city.
The Great Jin's Imperial City was within Western Capital. It occupied a quarter of the entire Western Capital. It was majestic and imposing, insufferably arrogant.
In the palace of the Imperial City, there was an extremely secluded courtyard. This courtyard was located on an island in the center of a man-made lake. The island was filled with birds and fragrant flowers. It was like spring all year round.
The courtyard was not big, but it was unusually elegant.
Two black-clothed and black-armored guards stood at the entrance of the courtyard. They were like two door gods. Their faces were completely covered by iron armor. It was impossible to see what they looked like under the mask.
On this small island in the center of the lake, other than the two black-clothed and armored guards standing at the entrance of the courtyard, there seemed to be no one else. As for the courtyard behind them, it seemed even more mysterious.
"Do you think he will agree?!"
In the courtyard, there was a quiet room. In the simple layout, there was a sense of grandeur. In front of a short table, a middle-aged man held a memorial in his hand. On his handsome face, there was a trace of an unexpected smile. "What a strange reaction. I thought this Prince Ma would fight with me to the death?!"
This middle-aged man was wearing a bright yellow robe. On his waist was a grey silk belt. In the middle of the belt, there was a pigeon egg-sized white jade bead. From head to toe, he emitted an imposing manner. Within this imposing manner, there was a faint sense of swallowing the world, as if he held the universe in his hands.
Even though this man was wearing casual clothes, he was still incomparably dignified. He was the current Emperor of the Great Jin, Ji Yingshen.
"You think he won't?!"
It was also a middle-aged man's voice. However, this voice was slightly shrill and weak. The owner of the voice was wearing a white scholarly robe. His figure was tall and slender, but he seemed very frail. It was as if a gust of wind could blow him over. Under his chin were three strands of long beard, gently swaying.
"He's here to ask if Director Zhang's letter is real!"
"Doesn't he know whether it's true or not? He just wants to give you a way out. You know his temper. Maybe if you don't give him a way out, he will go crazy and drive out the Mingyi School's people. It's not impossible!"
"That's true. When this guy goes crazy, no one can control him. However, if I let his daughter marry to the north to make peace, he will go crazy. But now, the son-in-law I found for him is one of the most talented geniuses in the world. He won't go crazy like this!"
"The White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou is indeed a rare talent in the world. Moreover, he is from the Mingyi School. Even if Prince Ma is unwilling, he has to consider the impact of this matter. However, Tian Long Mystic Mountain …!"
"Tian Long Mystic Mountain?!" Ji Yingshen laughed. "The Tian Long Mystic Mountain controls the heaven and earth, could it be that they can still control other people's marriage?"
"If this matter succeeds, Your Majesty, it will be greatly beneficial to our plan!"
"Our plan?!" Ji Yingshen glanced at him. "Brother Yuesheng, there's still a long way to go!"
"Under the heavens, all land belongs to the King. Those who lead the land belong to the King!" Ming Yuesheng said softly. When he said these two sentences, his frail body straightened up. His gaze was as sharp as a sword as he stared at Ji Yingshen. "Your Majesty, I firmly believe that this is the future of the Great Jin!"
… … …
… … …
"Under the heavens, all land belongs to the King. Those who lead the land belong to the King! Bullsh * t! "
Great Jin, Yunzhou, Qinlingjun City. Yunzhou Governor Ma Tianchang was also pondering these words. His face carried a hint of cold mockery. "Forget it. Let the two of them play. I want to see what kind of movement they can actually make!"
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency …!"
While he was deep in thought, a maid rushed in from the outside. Her face was full of panic.
"What are you panicking for?!" Ma Tianchang raised his eyebrows. Although he himself was not a strict person, and the rules of the Governor's Mansion were not too strict, rushing in like this was still an extremely impolite thing to do.
"Miss, Miss …!"
"What is she doing now?!"
Hearing the maid mention the word "Miss", Ma Tianchang immediately became helpless.
"Miss wants to leave the Mansion!"
"Leave the Mansion?!" Ma Tianchang raised his eyebrows. "You mean she wants to leave home?!"
"Yes, yes. Miss wants to leave home!"
"Then let her go. I want to see if she can leave Qinlingjun City!"
"Ah?!" The poor maid was stunned by Governor Ma's words. She stood there staring at Ma Tianchang, not knowing what to say.
"What are you standing there for? She wants to leave. Hurry up and pack her things. Tell her to come back before the wedding!" Ma Tianchang said loudly.
"Bang!" Outside the door came the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. A red figure flashed by with a burst of anger.
"Hehe, this damned girl, how dare she play tricks with me here!" Ma Tianchang looked at the maid and said with a smile, "You go back and tell that little girl, don't play tricks with me. Stay at home obediently. If that Lu Shaoyou really has the ability to marry her, then let her wait at home to get married ~"
"Yes, yes —!" The maid's face paled. She looked at Ma Tianchang fearfully, saluted, and hurriedly left.
"Alas, little girls nowadays really can't let people be at ease!" Ma Tianchang looked at the back view of the maid hurriedly leaving and sighed softly. "Ming Yue Sheng, you bastard. This kind of bad idea must have come from you. It's fine if you guys are messing around, but why do you have to drag me into it? Could it be that you really think I'm a pushover?"
Ma Tianchang stroked the short beard on his lower jaw and paced back and forth in the study. "Hehe, I've done what you needed me to do. Even if I agree to this marriage, what's the harm? Whether that Lu Shaoyou can marry my daughter or not depends on his own ability! "
"Hmph, if he's capable enough, you'll really marry your daughter off!"
A cold laugh came from outside the study.
"Madam, why are you here?!"
"Why can't I be here!"
A beautiful young woman in a white dress walked into the study. Looking at Governor Ma who was pacing back and forth in the study, she suddenly laughed. "If you don't have the confidence, I'll go and kill Lu Shaoyou right now!"
"You're going to kill Lu Shaoyou?" Ma Tianchang frowned slightly. "Yu 'er, my place is already messy enough. Don't add more to it, okay?!"
"Alright, no problem. As long as you don't push my daughter into the fire pit, I won't add more trouble for you!"
"This matter isn't as simple as you think!"
"I'm not interested in the intrigue between you men. I'm also not in the mood to listen to your explanation. In short, it's already like this. Either you help your daughter to reject this marriage, or …!"
"Don't say this or that. I've already decided to agree to the marriage. There's absolutely no reason to go back on it …!"
"You agreed, but I didn't —!"
"Let me finish!" Ma Tianchang said in a deep voice. "Three days later, Lu Shaoyou will come to formally propose. During this period of time from the proposal to the wedding, you better stay calm. No one is allowed to cause trouble!"
"You want me to think of a way to cause trouble at the wedding? I like it — "The young woman immediately beamed with joy.
Ma Tianchang looked at her with a face full of cold sweat. "Yu 'er, that's your daughter's wedding. They're going to serve you tea. Why are you causing trouble at the wedding? You better listen to me. When my daughter gets married, no matter who she marries, she'll have to be carried out in a sedan chair. Once she leaves the door of my Governor's Mansion, it's Lu Shaoyou's business! "
"You want me to steal my daughter's marriage?!" At this moment, the young woman had already lost her previous anger. Instead, she looked at Ma Tianchang with interest, her eyes full of expectation.
"It's not your turn to make a move!" Ma Tianchang, whose forehead was full of black lines, said snappily.
"What, someone dares to steal my daughter?!" The young woman finally understood the meaning of Ma Tianchang's words. Immediately, her willowy eyebrows furrowed and a gust of Evil Qi emitted from her body. "This is too much, too much. Who has the guts to dare to have designs on my daughter?!"
"You don't have to worry about this. Just wait and watch the show. Lu Shaoyou probably won't be able to pass this hurdle. However, if he is lucky enough to pass this hurdle, then, if you're happy, you can kill him!" Ma Tianchang said, smiling at the young woman. "However, there's one thing I have to remind you. Lu Shaoyou is a Level Eight expert. His swordsmanship is superb. Can you kill him?!"
"No matter how good his swordsmanship is, he's just a barbarian!" The young woman smiled. "Now, I'm very interested in those who want to steal the bride!"
