Yu Cang bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, please speak freely."
Vast Cloud Diagram: "Guaren's daughter Hao Qingqing has reached the age of marriage. General Huyan's son has also reached the age of marriage and is a perfect match. I would like to trouble you to be the matchmaker. What do you think?" His eyes were full of expectation.
Three Thousand Li, Bei Xuan, and Yuwen Yan looked at each other and roughly understood the Emperor's intention in bringing them here.
Although Yu Cang was famous and ranked fifth on the Pill List, there was still a big gap between him and them.
The three of them also had a place in the Misty Pavilion. The Misty Pavilion controlled the entire world, so the gap was obvious. Therefore, Yu Cang wasn't worthy of the three of them coming out to entertain him. After all, the Emperor was here for the Eldest Princess's marriage!
The three of them also knew this. Qi's most elite troops were in the hands of Huyan Wuhen. The Valiant Cavalry was built by Huyan Wuhen. Huyan Wuhen had an irreplaceable position and prestige in the Valiant Cavalry. As long as Huyan Wuhen wasn't willing, the imperial court couldn't send anyone to the Valiant Cavalry to take the position of commander.
This matter wasn't something that could be done by sending a few cultivators to 'protect' Huyan Wuhen and take his life at any time. Would the Emperor dare to kill Huyan Wuhen?
Even if the Emperor wanted to kill him, he would have to ask the three major sects for permission. If Huyan Wuhen was killed, the Valiant Cavalry would inevitably be in turmoil. It could even be a violent mutiny. Once external forces took advantage of the chaos, it would affect the interests of the three major sects. The three major sects wouldn't just sit back and watch!
Therefore, the Three Major Sects would have to carefully consider Huyan Wuhen's opinion if he were to declare his support for a certain Prince one day. And, the Three Major Sects would have to carefully consider Huyan Wuhen's opinion if that day were to come. Perhaps, even the Vast Cloud Diagram's throne would be in danger.
Don't think that Qi was peaceful and no one coveted Vast Cloud Diagram's throne.
As a result, Vast Cloud Diagram naturally held a grudge against Huyan Wuhen.
It wasn't that Huyan Wuhen wasn't loyal to Qi or Vast Cloud Diagram. It was just that for some reason, he didn't want to take the path of marriage.
However, Vast Cloud Tu wasn't at ease. There were too many uncertain factors in the world. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future? Therefore, he must tie the Huyan Clan together with him!
Now, Yu Cang's arrival had given the Vast Cloud Diagram a chance. Yu Cang could be considered Huyan Wuhen's teacher. As a teacher, it was easier for him to advise Huyan Wuhen than anyone else.
In this regard, the three Sect Leaders could not say anything.
Yu Cang was silent when he heard this. His reputation did not come from nowhere. There were some things that he naturally understood.
The Emperor's intention was too obvious. Not to mention Huyan Wuhen … even the outsiders were very clear about it. Huyan Wuhen's son would inevitably interfere in the Huyan family's affairs once he marries the Princess. It wasn't to interfere in the family's trifles. Rather, the Emperor would support whoever marries the Princess. And, the person he would support would inevitably be the Huyan family's future Clan Head. How many people would be able to stop Vast Cloud Tu from promoting someone?
The crux of the matter was that it wouldn't be as simple as supporting one. In order to support one, they might even have to suppress Huyan Wuhen's other sons.
It was very obvious that Huyan Wuhen didn't want the Emperor's hand to stretch into his own family. It would cause chaos in the Huyan family. Mixing family affairs and state affairs was definitely not a good thing for the Huyan family. If Huyan Wuhen could agree so easily, he probably wouldn't have needed Yu Cang's help.
Yu Cang also understood the meaning behind Vast Cloud Diagram's words. It was an exchange. If you help me facilitate the marriage, I'll help you find Niu Youdao!
Yu Cang muttered to himself, "I've also heard of the Huyan family's son. He's a naughty and mischievous kid. I'm afraid he's not worthy of the Eldest Princess!"
Vast Cloud Diagram said, "If he's really worthless, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter. I've always been paying attention to that kid. He's rough on the outside but meticulous on the inside. He's not as unbearable as he looks on the outside. Moreover, my daughter has been spoiled since she was young. She's also a troublesome girl. She's not much better. A well-behaved child isn't worthy of her. She needs a man who dares to discipline her. One is waiting to be married, and the other is waiting to be married. The two of them are a match made in heaven! "
If Hao Qingqing heard these words, she would probably go crazy. There was actually a father who would say such things about his daughter.
Yu Cang said, "Maybe there's someone more suitable for the Eldest Princess."
Vast Cloud Diagram said, "I like that Huyan family's boy!"
At this point, Yu Cang was silent for a while, then slowly nodded and said, "Good! A grown man should get married, and a grown woman should get married. It's a beautiful thing. After we leave the palace, I'll go to the General's house to matchmake this matter! "
"Thank you, Mister!" Vast Cloud Diagram was happy. He raised his cup with both hands and said, "Here's to Mister!"
Yu Cang returned the toast.
The three Sect Masters glanced at each other without batting an eyelid. They had no intention of interfering in this matter. Between the Emperor and Huyan Wuhen, it wasn't appropriate for them to help either side.
After putting down his wine cup, Vast Cloud Diagram immediately turned to Bu Xun and said, "Madam Zhong traveled a long way to become an apprentice. She must be very tired. How can we let Madam Zhong travel for nothing? Immediately send someone to find Niu Youdao's current whereabouts as soon as possible! "
"Yes!" Bu Xun bowed.
Regarding Niu Youdao's whereabouts, Bu Xun already knew. He naturally understood Vast Cloud Diagram's meaning.
Previously, he had said that he didn't know. How could he slap his own mouth in the blink of an eye? If Yu Cang could matchmake Princess Cheng's marriage, they would naturally be able to find Niu Youdao's whereabouts. If the matchmaking failed, there would naturally be another result. They weren't so easily fooled.
Yu Cang also kept his promise. Before the banquet ended, he said that he would leave the palace and head straight to General Huyan's residence to discuss the marriage.
Vast Cloud Diagram was overjoyed. He immediately asked Bu Xun to prepare a carriage to send Yu Cang over.
"Boss's mood seems to be off recently."
In the Tofu House, Niu Lin and the others returned from training. They found Yuan Gang sitting alone in the pavilion, leaning against a pillar and drinking from a jar of wine. They couldn't help but whisper.
For the past two days, Yuan Gang hadn't participated in their training. He had been cooped up at home. Furthermore, Yuan Gang wasn't someone who would mess things up by drinking. They had never seen someone hugging a jar of wine and not letting go.
"Boohoo …"
Behind them, another person ran over with a sobbing tone. When they turned around to look, they were all dumbfounded. They saw Hu Yanwei running in while crying.
Yuan Gang turned around and was also stunned. It was hard to imagine that Hu Yanwei, this shameless hedonistic young master, would actually cry.
Hu Yanwei ran to his side and snatched the wine jar from his hand. He raised his head and gulped down the wine. The wine flowed down from the corners of his mouth and wet his clothes.
Putting down the wine jar, Hu Yanwei sat down and looked up at the sky with tears streaming down his face. He looked heartbroken.
"Third Young Master, if you want to cry, go outside and cry." Yuan Gang berated. He was already upset, and now that he saw a man crying, he felt even more upset.
Hu Yanwei raised his sleeve to wipe his tears and turned to look at him. "Brother, you can't even live anymore. Do you still have any sympathy?"
Yuan Gang: "I just got a large sum of money, why can't I live anymore?"
"Money is nothing!" Hu Yanwei bared his fangs and brandished his claws in grief and indignation, "As long as you can help me solve this problem, I will give you all my monthly money!"
Strange, he didn't even love money. This wasn't like the Huyan Family's Third Young Master he knew! Yuan Gang looked him up and down and asked, "What happened?"
It would have been better if he hadn't asked, but once he did, Hu Yanwei immediately burst into tears. "My family wants me to marry the Eldest Princess!"
Speaking of the Eldest Princess, Yuan Gang thought of the woman who proudly said that she liked him in the Ice and Snow Pavilion. She was a very unique woman. He couldn't help but feel strange. "Didn't your father always oppose you marrying her? Why did he suddenly agree? "
Hu Yanwei opened his mouth and scolded, "It's all that old fart Yu Cang's fault. Why did he blindly join in the fun? My entire life has been ruined in his hands. Can that bitch Hao Qingqing marry me? If I marry her, do I still have a way out? "
On one hand, he scolded his father's teacher as an old fart, and on the other hand, he scolded the Eldest Princess as a bitch.
In fact, Yu Cang didn't force Huyan Wuhen too much when he came to find him. He only explained the situation of the Emperor's matchmaker. Afterwards, he suggested that Huyan Wuhen either give up his military power, or let his son marry the Eldest Princess. Otherwise, he couldn't continue like this unless he wanted to rely on his military power to fall out with the Emperor!
However, Yu Cang solemnly reminded Huyan Wuhen that if he would rather give up his military power than let his son marry the Eldest Princess, then he would offend the Emperor. He would cause the Emperor to lose face, and lose the protection of his military power. That would be tantamount to giving up his influence over the three major sects. Sooner or later, the Emperor would look for the Huyan Family to settle accounts!
How could Huyan Wuhen not know this truth? He was only delaying, delaying, and deliberately indulging his son in debauchery. He hoped that the Emperor would change his mind and keep the Huyan Family stable.
When Yu Cang arrived, he found out that the Emperor had even brought out the leaders of the three major sects. Moreover, he had asked his teacher to be the matchmaker. Huyan Wuhen knew that the Emperor had steeled his heart. He had set his eyes on his son.
Huyan Wuhen had no choice but to push the boat with the current. He did his teacher a favor at little cost, and agreed to the marriage!
Yuan Gang sighed endlessly after he had asked about the matter. He felt a little sympathy for Huyan Wei. It wasn't easy to be the son-in-law of the Huyan Family. Others might want to climb up the social ladder, but it wasn't necessarily a good thing for the Huyan Family.
Yuan Gang consoled him, "The Eldest Princess might be a little unruly, but she wouldn't go so far as to throw her weight around in front of your Huyan Family..."
"Bah!" Huyan Wei interrupted, "Is that throwing her weight around? Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't know why the Emperor wants me to marry his daughter? Isn't it because he has taken a fancy to the military power in my father's hands? What kind of purpose is this marriage? If I really marry that slut, the Huyan Family won't be at peace. The Emperor will suppress my two brothers. How will we brothers get along in the future? Damn it! The Vast Cloud Diagram is a cruel and unscrupulous thing... "
Yuan Gang interrupted and reminded, "Third Young Master, be careful with your words!"
"Brother An, if you really treat me as a brother, then lend me a sum of money!" Huyan Wei wiped his tears and stretched out his hand to ask for money.
Yuan Gang was stunned, "The shop just gave you a sum of money. Is it not enough for you to spend?"
"I'm already like this. Can't I have a good time? Are you going to give it to me? "Huyan Wei stretched out his hand again and again.
Since things had already come to this, what else could Yuan Gang do? He was quite sympathetic. He asked him to write a note and lent him three thousand gold coins!
Huyan Wei took the money and left while wiping his tears. He left resolutely and didn't even look back.
Yuan Gang also thought that Huyan Wei wanted to have a good time. It wasn't until the middle of the night when a group of people rushed over and surrounded the Tofu House. It wasn't until the Huyan Family personally mobilized troops to capture Huyan Wei that Yuan Gang understood the purpose of Huyan Wei's borrowing money.
