Chapter 79 Victim
"Uncle, what did you say?"
Fan Xian looked at Wu Zhu with a puzzled look.
Why is he going to Kyoto for no apparent reason?
Although Fan Xian had never been to Kyoto, he knew some things about it from other people.
Moreover, every once in a while, his younger sister Fan Ruoruo would send letters from Kyoto to describe the situation there.
In fact, Fan Xian had wanted to go to Kyoto for a long time, but he never had the chance, and his grandmother didn't want him to go, so he had no plans to do so.
Fan Xian asked, "Uncle, why did you say that I was going to Kyoto?"
"Did something happen?"
Wu Zhu nodded and said, "Because you are going to Kyoto to get married."
"What!" Fan Xian looked incredulous and immediately stood up from the stone.
"Why should I go to Kyoto to get married?"
"Is it possible..."
Wu Zhu nodded and said, "Yes."
Then he took out a package from his arms and threw it into Fan Xian's hands.
"This is from Miss Fan, for you."
When Fan Xian heard that Fan Ruoruo had delivered the package, he hurriedly opened it and found a letter and a belt with exquisite workmanship and extremely beautiful appearance inside.
He casually opened the envelope and began to read the information inside.
Soon after Fan Xian finished reading the letter, he knew what was going on.
The belt in front of him is a birthday gift for him. Since it is impossible to come to Danzhou from Kyoto, this gift can only be sent to him in this way.
Sure enough, his sister is the one who knows how to care for others and always thinks about him as her elder brother.
However, something unexpected happened to Fan Xian.
It was actually an arranged marriage!
Because Fan Ruoruo said in the letter that His Majesty had granted him a marriage a few days ago, asking him to marry the daughter of a prime minister.
"grass!"
Fan Xian put the letter away and couldn't help but curse.
After all, he traveled through time from the modern era, and what he hated most was feudal arranged marriages.
When they were young, Fan Xian often taught Fan Ruoruo that one should advocate freedom in love and make one's own decisions in marriage.
Now, look what happened. He has become a victim of the court.
It goes without saying that the purpose of His Majesty granting the marriage is definitely to unite the two families and strengthen the power of the court.
"Humph!"
"You gave me a marriage for no reason. Who do you think I am?"
"I don't buy that."
"From now on, I will make my own decision on my marriage!"
Then, Fan Xian picked up the badge in front of him and began to look at it carefully.
I have to say that my little sister has a good eye. She likes the badge she chose very much, both in terms of quality and appearance.
It seems that there are still people in this world who are thinking about him.
This feeling is so good.
After a moment, Fan Xian put away the belt in his hand, brushed off the dust on his body, and continued to practice on the spot.
As for returning to Kyoto, he was too lazy to care.
No matter what, he will take charge of his marriage himself and will never compromise.
No one can!
Wu Zhu, who was standing aside, looked at Fan Xian in front of him, with no expression on his face.
……
Kyoto, the royal palace.
As usual, Li Chengze strolled in the yard after lunch and ate a little.
He basically didn't go out these days, and the check-in point didn't continue to refresh.
Therefore, he practiced after meals every day, and his martial arts level improved a lot.
When Li Chengze was strolling in the yard, two young men walked in quickly from outside the gate.
"Your Highness."
The two men walked up to Li Chengze, bowed to him and said hello.
Li Chengze looked at the two people, and their memories appeared in his mind. They were Li Chengze's eight generals, among whom were Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian.
He was previously assigned to another place by Li Chengze and has just been transferred back.
Li Chengze said: "It's good to be back. Go to your room and rest first."
Fan Wujiu shook his head and said, "Your Highness, we are not tired."
"I heard that you were assassinated some time ago?"
"Did the prince send someone to do this?"
"Damn it!" Xie Bian clenched his fists and growled, "They can't beat us openly, so now they start assassinating us!"
"If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have left."
Li Chengze knew that Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian were loyal to their predecessors and were rare talents.
He waved to the two of them and said, "Don't be so nervous, it's over."
"The prince is now locked up in the palace and can't leave. He won't make any other moves for the time being."
Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian finally felt relieved after hearing what Li Chengze said.
"Your Highness, if you need anything in the future, just let me know."
"Yes, that's as it should be!"
The two of them bowed and said in unison.
Li Chengze nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"You guys go down, I'll find you if I need anything later."
"Yes." Fan Wujiu and Xie Bian turned around and left.
Afterwards, Li Chengze prepared to continue strolling around and thinking about some things.
In addition to the recent arranged marriage, he also has to find a way to resolve the issue regarding Northern Qi.
Since Northern Qi asked us to send a heavyweight, it certainly cannot be a small character.
So, Li Chengze began to feel a little conflicted about who to send.
If that doesn't work, he will go there by himself.
By the way, let’s go and meet the masters from Northern Qi. If we can contact a few of them, our strength will definitely increase greatly.
By then, if you want to get rid of that old silver coin of Emperor Qing, it will be too easy.
Just as Li Chengze was deep in thought, the system's voice sounded again in his mind.
[The next sign-in location is at 'Ye Mansion, Backyard'. Please be ready in time. ]
Ye Mansion?
Isn’t this Ye Ling’er’s home?
Li Chengze didn't expect that the check-in location this time would be refreshed to Ye Mansion.
But it's okay.
Anyway, I will marry Ye Ling'er in the future, so I can just go to the Ye Mansion to take a look.
Li Chengze turned back to the bedroom, changed into a new robe, and then walked out of the palace.
……
at the same time.
Ye Mansion, backyard.
Ye Ling'er sat in the stone hall, holding her round pretty face with both hands, looking into the distance, as if thinking about something.
Ever since she and Li Chengze broke up last time, she has been having all kinds of random thoughts in her mind, and sometimes she would have all kinds of messed up dreams at night.
I have changed my small underwear several times, and I feel so shy every morning when I wake up.
Now, my mind is full of Li Chengze's image.
At this time, a young maid came stealthily from not far away and whispered to Ye Ling'er:
"Miss, I'm back."
Ye Ling'er came back to her senses immediately after hearing the voice and said in surprise, "Quick, quick, quick, I'm here."
The maid ran quickly to Ye Ling'er, took out a package from her arms and placed it on the stone table in front of her.
"Miss, this is the forbidden book you wanted."
"Put it away carefully after reading it. If the master finds out, he will punish me severely."
Ye Ling'er took the package and nodded, "Don't worry, I know what's going on!"
