The old steward was deeply worried. "I really can't think of anyone with such skill and courage. Although Xie Lingzhen did not appear in the martial arts competition, she is still a top-notch master. The Spring Invitation Cottage is also connected to the new Minister of War. Li Huoli's skills are probably average, but with the imperial court as a life-saving talisman, who would dare to make a move? I'm afraid that if the manor does not handle this properly, it will be hard to avoid the wrath of various powers. There will be many who will take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters and add insult to injury. Manor Lord must think of a way out. The King of Jing An has always wanted Quicksnow Mountain Villa to rely on the Wang Family. Manor Lord, do you agree? "
Yuchi Liangfu's expression was complicated, and he was unable to decide what to do. He stopped and looked at a large red lantern hanging on a tree branch. There was no joy in it at all. He heavily exhaled and helplessly said, "It's like doing business. I originally wanted to use this time's Wulin Alliance Leader election to bring prestige to the manor. When the time comes, we can find a buyer ourselves. The highest bidder gets it. The King of Jing An urgently wants to buy it, and we don't have to worry about the next buyer. We can follow our own temperament and not sell it. Now that we are in trouble, and we turn to the Jing An Palace, I'm afraid Quicksnow Mountain Villa will have to be sold at a low price. If we buy and sell it to everyone's satisfaction, then it's fine. But now I'm afraid that even if we sell it to the Jing An Palace, that young vassal king will remember that Quicksnow Mountain Villa was not tactful in the past and make things difficult for the manor. I know that this vassal king has a master behind the scenes, and his governance is clear, and he is well known. He is not inferior to the old vassal king in any way. Judging from his words and actions, he doesn't seem to have a big heart. A person without foresight will have immediate worries. As the head of the manor, I'm afraid that when I pay respects to my ancestors in the future, I won't have the face to face them. "
The old steward softly comforted him, "Yanbao has already sent people to the King of Jing An to mobilize troops. I hope it will be settled in one fell swoop. Once the thousands of Iron Cavalry from Xiang and Fan arrive, as long as the assassin leaves a trace, it will be difficult for him to escape. I'm afraid that he will kill in ten steps, and by now he has already escaped. "
A trusted steward of the manor hurriedly delivered a message, "Manor Lord, we've only traveled less than ten li from Yanbao when we were intercepted by Prince Jing 'an's scouts. It turns out that Prince Jing' an had already used the military tally to mobilize the Qingzhou navy. The warships were lined up on the lake twenty li away. It was only because of the thick fog on the lake that no one noticed them. Furthermore, there were more than four thousand light cavalry stationed at every intersection, along with dozens of scouts scattered all over the place. As soon as there's any movement, we can reel in the net!"
After Yuchi Liangfu recovered from his pleasant surprise, he bitterly smiled and said, "This Prince Jing 'an truly has divine foresight. So it turns out that Soar Snow Manor has become a fish pond. As long as the big fish takes the bait, it will be dragged to the shore."
................... think............ look..... a.............................. Maybe Xie Lingzhen and Li Yibai are the Crown Prince's students. They are only there to deceive the public and make it look better for the imperial court to meddle in the martial arts world. Manor Lord, there is one thing I have to say. Fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. If Quicksnow Mountain Villa wants to turn from bad to good, distant water cannot quench the immediate thirst. We can only choose the Jing An Palace as our neighbor. After all, he is the first King to inherit the throne after the Spring and Autumn Period. He is quite favored in the capital. "
Yuchi Liangfu waved his hand to dismiss the steward. He hesitantly said, "Let me think about it."
The old steward anxiously said, "Manor Lord, time waits for no one!"
Anger appeared on Yuchi Liangfu's face. He spoke without thinking, "Do you really want Niuquan to be the concubine of that young King who has always been in love with his mother?! Yuchi Liangfu can't sell his daughter for glory and wealth! "
The old steward kept quiet out of fear. He sighed and said, "It was a bad plan. Although the villa was saved, it was indeed hard on the young miss."
Yuchi Liangfu patted the old man's shoulder and said apologetically, "Old Liu, I know you are loyal and devoted to the manor, but I, Niuquan, only have one daughter. She has the same stubborn temperament as her mother who died young. As her father, I have to make her happy. Marrying a poor boy who truly likes her is better than marrying into a family of generals and ministers where everything is out of her control. How many women can live happily as duckweed?"
The old steward nodded.
Yuchi Liangfu fiercely rubbed his cheeks and said in a low voice, "Wait a little longer!"
At the outer corridor, compared to Yuchi Liangfu and the old steward who were stuck in a quagmire, it was much more relaxed on the surface. Yuchi Niuquan volunteered herself, saying that she could reach her residence by rowing a boat. However, when she approached the railing and knocked, she was immediately dumbfounded. At that time, she was in a hurry to get ashore and forgot to fasten the small boat with a black canopy. Probably because of the lake breeze, there was no trace of the small boat. This made Yuchi Niuquan's face turn red. She didn't dare to look at Hsu Fengnian and Lin Hongyuan. At this moment, a black figure slowly passed through the fog and appeared in everyone's field of vision. A young and handsome Daoist stood at the bow of the boat with an exquisite bamboo flute tied to his waist. He had a somewhat ethereal and otherworldly charm. The orthodoxy of the world revered the ancestral court, Mount Longhu. The Daoists of the world naturally regarded the Mount Longhu's Heavenly Master as the most important. Although the young Daoist in front of them didn't dress like a noble from the Heavenly Master's residence, his bearing could make people forget him at a glance.
Lin Hongyuan slightly narrowed her eyes in order to hide her schadenfreude.
The main character had arrived.
Moreover, this young Daoist who had a meteoric rise in the imperial court and a great reputation in the jianghu didn't disappoint Lin Hongyuan. On the contrary, his words broke the heavenly mystery. "This humble Daoist of Mount Longhu's Zhao Ningshen greets Young Palace Head Lin and Young Miss Yuchi. Also, this young master, your left hand has been pierced by a sword in your sleeve. Would you allow this humble Daoist to make an unnecessary move and shamelessly gift you a bottle of the mountain's secret golden sore medicine? "
Hsu Fengnian didn't move at all. He stood by the railing with his hands in his sleeves.
Zhao Ningshen smiled warmly. "Other than returning the boat to Young Miss Yuchi, this humble Daoist also has a gift in return. I remember that at that time on the great snowfield, there was someone who spoke malicious words and didn't return a sword owed."
Hsu Fengnian's reply simply swayed Yuchi Niuquan's mind.
Of course, she didn't care about some Mount Longhu Daoist owing a sword on the great snowfield. This silly girl's butt had always been unswervingly tilted towards the fellow beside her.
She only heard him ask, "Are you courting death?"
