"General Hua, it must have been hard on you." Ye Wei walked to his side and said sincerely. His tone was filled with admiration. Today, he saw a new Hua Zhentian. A treacherous Hua Zhentian who made people feel that he was affectionate and loyal.
"Hahahaha! As long as my daughter can marry your kid, it's worth it even if I have to kneel for him for three days and three nights! Your kid is indeed one in a million. I, Hua Zhentian, have never been convinced by anyone in my life, but now I'm completely convinced by this kid. Even now, I'm still willing to be schemed against by him. Even though I'm being tricked, I don't have any complaints. Instead, I admire this kid even more. Brother Ye, your Yeh family is blessed to have such a descendant. "Hua Zhentian laughed heartily and praised sincerely.
"General Hua, you flatter me." Ye Wei said "flatter me", but his face was filled with pride. How could he not see that Ye Wuchen could win over Hua Shuirou so quickly and not worry about the engagement between the Hua and Lin family? The most important reason was that he knew that Hua Zhentian would be willing to offend Long Yin and the Lin family to break off the engagement for his daughter.
"Flatter my a * s. I, Hua, am a boorish man, but I have better foresight than anyone else. Look at you, you're so proud that you're about to fly. Hmph! "Hua Zhentian pretended to be angry.
Ye Wei, "…"
Hua Zhentian turned to Lin Zhan, whose face was pale, and shouted, "Brother Lin, I, Hua, am sorry."
"Hmph! I'm not feeling well today, so I can't entertain you two. Please leave! "Lin Zhan said while suppressing his anger. Only Ye Wei, Hua Zhentian, Lin Zhan, and the silent Lin Xiao were left in the originally crowded hall.
"Since General Lin is not feeling well, then please rest. It's best not to get angry for the next few days, lest you injure your body, lungs, or liver. If my Tenryū Province loses another Great General, that would be bad. Then, I'll take my leave. "Ye Wei bowed and dragged Hua Zhentian out. Just as he walked out of the hall, the crisp sound of a teacup being smashed rang out behind him.
When Ye Wuchen walked out of the Lin family's door, he saw a luxuriously decorated sedan parked not far away. The corner of his mouth curled up, and he made a shushing gesture to the four men beside him. Then, before they could react, he pulled open the curtains and jumped in at lightning speed.
Hua Shuirou, who had been feeling uneasy, jumped in shock and almost cried out. However, the manly scent that had been lingering in her heart for the past few days calmed her frantic heart. Her body involuntarily moved closer to him. "You … You scared me to death."
"Even your future husband is afraid. My Little Rourou is still so timid." Ye Wuchen smiled and hugged her in front of his chest.
"Don't call me Little Rourou, I'm not little at all." Hua Shuirou protested softly. She was already sixteen years old, the age of marriage.
"Is that so? Then let me give it a try. "
Ye Wuchen's hand quietly moved down and gently held one of her breasts. He rubbed it as he said, "My Little Rourou really isn't little anymore. In a few years, you'll be even bigger."
Hua Shuirou's body trembled and she unconsciously moved closer to him. She said nervously, "Someone … will see."
"Don't worry, other than me, no one will see."
Hua Shuirou knew that her protest would not have any effect. She did not have the slightest resistance against his invasion. She only blushed and leaned into his embrace. She said softly, "Can we get married now?"
"En, your engagement with Lin Xiao has already been annulled. Furthermore, it was personally annulled by the Emperor." Ye Wuchen said lightly. He naturally could not let her know how difficult it was for Hua Zhentian to annul the engagement from six years ago.
The heavy stone in Hua Shuirou's heart finally fell and she happily smiled. In her joy, she gathered her courage and took the initiative to give him a light peck on his face. Then, she ran away in fright and buried her head in his chest.
Ye Wuchen gently touched the place she kissed and couldn't help smiling. For this young girl, to do this kind of action really required a lot of courage … or perhaps, she had gradually led him astray a little these past few days.
"Only, there is a condition for annulling the engagement."
"Ah? What condition? "Hua Shuirou suddenly became nervous. She naturally knew how difficult it was to annul the engagement.
"The condition is that we can only get married after three years. This is because the Emperor has already betrothed Flying Phoenix to me and the day of marriage is in three years. In order to show how important the Imperial Family is, I must marry Flying Phoenix before I can marry her. "Ye Wuchen explained.
"Three years … As long as I can marry you, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes." Hua Shuirou's nervous heart relaxed and she lazily leaned against his chest. As for the matter of him being betrothed to Flying Phoenix, she did not have the slightest intention of asking. For a young girl who was used to being docile, she naturally knew how to make her man happy. She knew what to ask, what not to ask, and even didn't care.
"Only, in these three years, will you be able to see me often?" Hua Shuirou asked in a small voice.
"Of course I will. How could I not see my Little Rourou. "
"En …" She answered in satisfaction and then said in a small voice, "Then the jade short flute I gave you … do you still have it?"
Ye Wuchen reached out his hand and a jade green short flute appeared in his hand, "This is the first gift my Little Rourou gave me, of course I have to bring it with me at all times."
Hua Shuirou reached out her hand, but it did not fall on the flute. Instead, she held his hand and said in a daze, "Then in the future … can you often teach me how to play the flute? Then I can every day … "
Ye Wuchen's entire body tensed up and the short flute in his hand almost fell.
Could it be that all the women in this world liked the profound knowledge of "playing the flute"?
"This … I'll teach you after we get married." Ye Wuchen said with a head full of sweat.
"Why do I have to wait until after we get married?" Hua Shuirou asked with a pout.
"Because after we get married, we can be together every day. When that time comes, I will teach you every day. You have no choice but to learn …"
Hua Shuirou raised her head and looked at Ye Wuchen in confusion. She realized that whether it was his voice or his expression, they both made her heart beat faster for some reason.
"Then now, shouldn't you call me husband?" Ye Wuchen held her face and asked.
She blinked her crystal-like eyes and finally lowered her gaze. She shyly called out in a small voice that could not be softer, "Husband …"
Not many people would have thought that an engagement banquet that was deliberately made grand would end in such a way. Even the Lin family, who had been a little mentally prepared, was stunned by this blow. The entire Lin family was so lifeless the entire day. The servants of the Lin family were also trembling with fear in this kind of atmosphere. They followed the rules, afraid that they would do something wrong and become the sacrificial lamb for the master to vent his anger.
At this moment, the "bedridden" Lin Kuang was kneeling in front of Long Yin. His aged body did not move at all as he listened respectfully to every word.
"If the Lin family and the Hua family can become in-laws, that would be a perfect ending. However, in today's situation, if I don't agree, Hua Zhentian will certainly not let it go. Moreover, he has been loyal his whole life and sacrificed everything for the imperial family. However, this is the first time he has made such an unreasonable request. If I don't agree, it will make me seem ungrateful and cause the officials to criticize me. I had no choice but to agree and delay their marriage until three years later. Therefore, Ye Wuchen must be eliminated. He has already made me feel uneasy. Now, it is related to the marriage between the Yeh family and the Hua family, which I absolutely cannot tolerate. He must die! "
When he said the last sentence, an undetectable gloominess flashed across Long Yin's face.
Long Yin glanced at the silent Lin Kuang and sighed, "The Yeh family has made countless contributions to Tenryū Province. I have really let down the Yeh family by doing this. But in history, how many monarchs and clans had been overthrown and destroyed because of their most trusted and powerful subjects? I really cannot let the Yeh family become such a threat. If the Yeh family really wants to rebel, the Hua family cannot stop them, the Lin family cannot stop them, even I can't stop them. With Ye Nu's prestige, he only needs to give an order and he can gather millions of brave soldiers who have sworn to follow him. How can I be truly at ease? That is why I secretly supported the Lin family and opposed the Yeh family to divert their attention as much as possible. "
"I know what you are thinking in your heart. Don't worry, when I have control over the Yeh family, I will not treat the Lin family like this. Because more than half of the Lin family are my people, even if you really want to rebel … "
Lin Kuang's entire body quivered. He said in fear and trepidation, "No! Even if I have the guts, I will not dare to have the intention to rebel. If it was not for Your Majesty, there would be no Lin family today. Your Majesty is the true master of the Lin family. I will pledge my life to be loyal to Your Majesty. I will be grateful to Your Majesty. I will not complain even if my bones are crushed. "
Long Yin nodded and said in a gratified manner, "I have always known of your loyalty. Otherwise, I will not support the Lin family. However, all these years, have your descendants noticed anything? "
Lin Kuang quickly shook his head, "No, absolutely not! This old subject has never mentioned the fact that the Lin family belongs to Your Majesty to anyone. This old subject will only follow Your Majesty's instructions and tell my son before I die. Then, my son will tell Xiao 'er before he dies … The Lin family will forever belong to the Tenryū clan and will never betray us. "
"Very good. You have always been the person that we trust the most. We also believe that you will never betray our trust. The Lin family has been repeatedly humiliated recently. It is all because of the Yeh family, Wuchen. He deliberately targeted the Lin family. I think … he must have discovered something. "Long Yin said with a frown.
Lin Kuang was shocked. He said in surprise, "This … How is this possible? No one knows about this for decades. He is just an ignorant brat … "
"Ignorant brat?" Long Yin laughed coldly, "If he was just an ordinary ignorant brat, why would we care so much about him? Do you know how he makes me feel?"
"…" Lin Kuang did not dare to answer.
"It is fear! He makes us afraid! "
"This …"
"So, he must die!" Long Yin said through gritted teeth. However, he could not openly execute him. Even if he killed him in secret, he could not let anyone suspect him. This was because he not only had the Yeh family behind him, but he was also a Sword God. In order to cover it up, he praised Ye Wuchen on the surface. He gave him all kinds of gifts and special treatment. He even betrothed the Flying Phoenix to him.
"He humiliated the Lin family. This old subject also wants him to die immediately." Lin Kuang added.
"Looking at the time, the number one assassin of the Slayer Pavilion should have arrived. Even if he has extraordinary intelligence and scheming, he will not be able to escape the number one assassin's pursuit. In the face of an expert with overwhelming power, the so-called tricks are completely illusory decorations, "Long Yin said with certainty, his face full of gloom. Once the number one assassin identified his target, he would pursue him to the end. Unless Ye Wuchen died, or … Tao Baibai died. But was the latter possible?
