"Also, there's another matter that I want to announce in front of everyone." He paused for a moment, his gaze paused on each person's face for a while before he said, "That year, we had personally arranged a marriage, marrying Hua family's Hua Shuirou to Lin family's Lin Xiao. But later on, because Wuchen and Hua Shuirou were in love, in order to fulfill their wishes, we could only go back on our word and disappoint the Lin family. Even though the matter has passed for a long time, we still brood over it. Especially when I heard that Lin Xiao is still infatuated with Hua Shuirou and turns a blind eye to the other families' women. We feel even more uneasy. Now that Wuchen is gone, and he and Hua Shuirou are no longer engaged, we will once again arrange a marriage between her and Lin Xiao. It can also be considered as relieving one of our worries. "
When Ye Wei and Hua Zhentian heard this, their expressions changed. But at this moment, Ye Wei couldn't stand out, because what Long Yin said was reasonable. Ye Wuchen and Hua Shuirou were not engaged. At this moment, it could be considered that he had no relations with the Yeh family. If he spoke out against it, people would think that he was being unreasonable.
Lin Zhan quickly stepped forward and said, "On behalf of my son, this official thanks Your Majesty for your concern, and thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness!"
"Wait a minute!" A loud roar sounded. As expected, it was Hua Zhentian who stepped forward. He strode forward and walked to Lin Zhan's side. He said to Long Yin, "Your Majesty, this official has something to say!"
Long Yin frowned and said, "Does General Hua not allow it? That day, General Hua had said that he didn't want his daughter to suffer even the slightest grievance. Ye Wuchen's ability was indeed a hundred times better than Lin Xiao's, but now that he has passed away … Ai, General Hua can't let his daughter only choose one person and be alone for the rest of her life, right? And Lin Xiao's character is the best in all aspects. There is no one else in Tian Long City who can compare to him. He is also deeply in love with your daughter. Is there anything that General Hua is dissatisfied with? "
"Alone for the rest of her life …" These words made Hua Zhentian's heart ache. He once again scolded Ye Wuchen. He sighed in his heart and said, "In this world, which parent would be willing to see their daughter hang on a dead tree and not marry someone? It is really … Today, before this official left, my daughter said a few words to this official. She said … She was born a member of the Yeh family, and when she dies, she will be a ghost of the Yeh family. Her heart for Ye Wuchen can be seen by the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon can prove it. Even if she turns into the earth, it will not change. If she wasn't worried that no one would be by her side to take care of her in-laws in their old age, she would have followed them long ago. And if someone forced her to marry someone else … She would rather die! "
After Hua Zhentian finished speaking, he looked at Long Yin with bright eyes. He repeated in his heart, "Silly daughter ah … silly daughter ah …"
The imperial court suddenly became silent. The words that Hua Zhentian said fiercely touched their heartstrings. None of them believed that these words were not said by Hua Shuirou himself. Because just as Hua Zhentian said, which father would make up such an excuse to prevent his daughter from marrying someone else just to avoid a arranged marriage? Such an infatuated girl was rare in this world. Although Ye Wuchen was already dead, to be able to obtain this girl's love, it could be said that he had no regrets.
Long Yin looked at Hua Zhentian for a long time, then nodded and said, "General Hua, you gave birth to a good daughter ah. Usually, I only heard that she was weak, but I didn't expect that she was such a strange girl with a strong chastity. "
"Please, Your Majesty, fulfill my daughter's infatuation and take back your order." Hua Zhentian's face was filled with pain as he spoke in a tragic voice.
Hua Zhentian's words had sealed off his and Long Yin's escape route. Long Yin knew that if he continued to persist, he would definitely disappoint the Hua family and the Yeh family. This was something that he could not see. If it was the Lin family or some other small family that did not have much power, he could directly ignore them and force them to submit. However, the Yeh family and the Hua family could not. This was the difference between having complete control and not having complete control. Especially when facing the Yeh family, he always had too many misgivings. This was also the reason why he had been scheming for so many years to secretly control the Yeh family in his hands. When a person was used to standing on the highest point as an emperor, he would increasingly not tolerate anything that was not within his control.
"If that's the case, how can I not fulfill Shinji's loyalty. I will then take back my order. It's just that I have broken my promise to Lin Xiao twice in a row. I feel uneasy … I will cancel the engagement between my beloved daughter, Flying Phoenix, and Ye Wuchen. I will appoint Lin Xiao to be married three years later. Do you have any objections? "
"This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for fulfilling my wish." Hua Zhentian shouted and retreated. As for who Flying Phoenix was to be married to, it was none of his business.
"This humble subject thanks Your Majesty on behalf of my son." Lin Zhan hurriedly repeated what he had said earlier.
The emperor's decision to appoint Flying Phoenix to be married was obviously to regain the Lin family's reputation. This was because she was originally betrothed to Ye Wuchen. Although it was a little unfair to the Yeh family, it was understandable. Everyone supported the emperor's decision.
After morning court, Ye Wei and Zhuge Wuyi returned together. Zhuge Wuyi comforted Ye Wei for a long time, then sighed all the way home.
As soon as he opened the door, Zhuge Xiaoyu, who heard his return, ran out impatiently and dragged him inside. "Hurry up, hurry up. Tell me the simplest way to break that Eight Elements Four Fold Formation. I've tried many ways, but every one of them consumes a lot of people …"
Zhuge Xiaoyu was crazily learning the art of commanding the battlefield and said that she wanted to surpass Ye Wuchen's grandfather. Zhuge Wuyi knew that his daughter, who had always been competitive, had been provoked by Ye Wuchen in some way. That was why she seemed to have changed into a different person. He originally thought that after learning of Ye Wuchen's death, she would throw it aside and be depressed for a while. However, contrary to his expectations, she did not take it seriously at all. She was still in high spirits every day. Crying and throwing tantrums were not related to anything. Instead, she tried her best to learn the art of commanding the troops. Perhaps it was because she had inherited his ability in this area, he gradually realized that Zhuge Xiaoyu had an amazing talent in this area. Occasionally, she would show her ability to analyze and calculate the battlefield, which often made him dumbfounded.
"Father, look … The Eight Elements Four Fold Formation is about many changes. It has both offense and defense. Its biggest feature is that it can easily surround the enemies who break into the formation. It can attack three times and lure one away, or it can attack two times and lure one away three times. Before killing the enemy, it can first confuse the enemy. I have studied it for a long time and feel that the biggest flaw of this formation is the four turning points. Look … "Zhuge Xiaoyu took a pen and drew on the paper. She said seriously," If these four turning points are messed up, it will be like an earthworm that has been cut open. Each of them will be in their own formation and the formation will be messed up. However, if we use the four Long Snake Formations without attacking and only use the heavy shields to break them one by one from the turning points, then go back and forth, it will not be a formation. Look, like this, with this formation and this direction … Father, you have said that there are many powerful formations on the battlefield that can win by surprise. However, if the formation is messed up, the morale of the army will be messed up. I have done some calculations. If I use this method … Father, look … "Zhuge Xiaoyu used the pen to demonstrate her method of breaking the formation on the paper seriously. She also noted the possible losses and effects." In this way, under the situation where both sides have the same military strength, it will take about three hundred people to kill a thousand enemies. That's a lot … Father, please teach me another method. "
Zhuge Wuyi was speechless.
"Father?" Zhuge Xiaoyu raised her hand, only to realize that Zhuge Wuyi was staring blankly at the piece of paper that she had scratched almost all over, speechless.
"Father, are you alright?" Zhuge Xiaoyu waved her hand in front of him.
"Yu 'er, did you really come up with this?" Zhuge Wuyi asked in surprise. When Zhuge Xiaoyu told him about her method, he did not think much of it. However, after she simulated it on the paper, he was shocked to find out that the strange method that Zhuge Xiaoyu had described was equivalent to stabbing the hearts of the enemies with a few knives at the same time. A fatal blow. Although this was the idea she came up with to break the Eight Elements Four Fold Formation, the method she came up with to break the formation allowed him to see another extremely powerful formation.
"Hey! What do you mean? Of course, I came up with it. "Zhuge Xiaoyu puffed her cheeks and looked dissatisfied.
Zhuge Wuyi quickly waved his hand and asked, "Yu 'er, can you first tell me why you still want to learn how to set up formations? You used to make the young master of the Yeh family beg to marry you. Now that he is gone, what's the point of learning it? You're a girl, you can't possibly go to the battlefield to command a battle. "
"Hmph!" Zhuge Xiaoyu scoffed and put down her pen. She glared at him and said, "I'm going to Dafeng Nation!"
"Oh?" Zhuge Wuyi was surprised.
"Because they killed the husband I fancied, so I must beat them to a pulp. Hmph hmph hmph hmph! "After saying that, Zhuge Xiaoyu stuck out her nose and raised her fist.
"This …" Zhuge Wuyi was speechless.
"Look, the husband that I had my eyes on is proficient in all four arts. He's so handsome and so powerful. He even defeated that powerful God of War and dared to do anything. He even dared to scold me. For my sister, he traveled thousands of miles to Dafeng Nation and turned the Dafeng Palace upside down. Whoever marries him will die of happiness. Last night, when I was sleeping, I was still thinking that if I could marry him, even if I were to be kidnapped one day, he would still run thousands of miles away and risk his life to save me. Wow! I'm so happy … Hmph, such a good husband is gone because of me in Dafeng Nation. I will never, never, never forgive them! "
Zhuge Wuyi broke out in a cold sweat. He finally realized that the reason was still Ye Wuchen. However, unlike other people who shed tears for love, the happy-go-lucky Zhuge Xiaoyu, who did not know why he was worried, still faced it happily and chose his own way.
"Alright, since you want to learn, then learn seriously. However, this is just empty talk. The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. Nothing is set in stone. It's useless to just learn how to deploy troops. Only when you're on the battlefield will you understand the true meaning of the changes, "Zhuge Wuyi said.
Zhuge Xiaoyu's eyes lit up and she shouted excitedly, "Daddy, when can I go on the battlefield?"
"… Fine, fine. Disguise yourself tomorrow and I'll take you to watch a few military drills," Zhuge Wuyi said with a bitter smile. He could not bear to discourage her enthusiasm. Of course, it was necessary for her to disguise as a man.
"Wow! Yeah! Long live daddy! "Zhuge Xiaoyu shouted excitedly. Zhuge Wuyi was so shocked that he almost hid under the table. In this era, the only person who could say long live was the emperor. It was a serious crime to say something like that.
