At this moment, Xu Xiao felt that this was the most humiliating moment of his life!
But immediately, he was thoroughly humiliated again.
Although Xu Xiao was in a bad mood, Li Yishan still told him some bad news.
Zhao Chun intended to give Shazhou to Li Chang'an and also wanted to marry Xu Zhihu to Li Chang'an.
Upon hearing this news, Xu Xiao instantly unleashed a beastly roar!
"That damn Yuan Benxi!"
"You son of a bitch!"
"I'll castrate you!"
"To marry Zhihu to Li Chang'an is to kill him out of his spirit!"
Xu Xiao was both shocked and furious. Although he could make his son avoid marriage and his daughter run away from marriage, this was just too frustrating!
Not long after, Xu Zhihu, who had heard the commotion, came over gracefully.
Xu Zhihu, who was already over eighteen, should have been married long ago.
However, she has been reluctant to leave Beiliang, which is why it has been delayed until now.
Xu Zhihu was tall and graceful, with a beautiful face and snow-white skin.
She and Xu Fengnian both look like Wu Su, not Xu Xiao, so they are both very good-looking.
Although she is extremely beautiful, her temper is just as her name suggests—not gentle at all.
"Father, what happened?"
Before the imperial edict was issued, Xu Xiao obtained intelligence about the Fushui Society.
"Daughter, look for yourself!"
Xu Zhihu took the letter and trembled after reading it.
"To bestow upon Li Chang'an the title of Grand Protector of Anxi is to stab Beiliang in the back!"
"And they want me to marry Li Chang'an? That's utterly immoral!"
Xu Xiao asked, "Who is the Protector-General of Anxi?"
"Is the Western Regions being pacified? Tibet? Or is it pacification for me, Xu Xiao!"
"It must have been Yuan Benxi's idea. No good person would be so malicious!"
"I send assassins to kill him every year, and I even had his favorite concubine do it!"
"This guy is incredibly lucky; he just didn't die!"
Xu Zhihu gave a bitter smile and said, "It seems that my daughter is also destined for hardship."
"Now, I can't just marry anyone I want."
Xu Xiao said angrily, "It's not that bad!"
"Li Chang'an will be dead in three years at most!"
"He's dead. If Father marries you off in a grand and glorious manner, it won't be considered disobeying the imperial decree, will it?"
Xu Zhihu asked, "Father, should I go to Jiangnan to hide for a while?"
Xu Xiao said coldly, "No need!"
"You stay in the palace, and I'll tell you you've disappeared!"
"Let's see what the imperial court does to me!"
"Having already arranged a marriage for his son, he must also arrange a marriage for his daughter!"
"Even when Zhao Li was around, he wouldn't dare to be this presumptuous!"
Xu Zhihu suddenly asked, "Father, has Fengnian not returned yet?"
Xu Zhihu is his biological daughter, but Xu Xiao still hasn't told her the truth.
After all, Xu Fengnian's matter has far too many implications.
"Feng Nian has already escaped and gone on a journey through the martial world, according to the plan that Yi Shan and I devised."
"Feng Nian was kidnapped by bandits and could not get married smoothly, so the imperial court had nothing to say!"
Chapter 193 Exchange for the Xuanjia Army! Summon Zhuge Liang! (33)
Two months after Xu Xiao agreed to the conditions, the imperial edict from the Liyang Dynasty arrived.
The rumors were all confirmed, and Li Chang'an was appointed as the Grand Protector of Anxi, in charge of seven counties in Shazhou.
In addition, Xu Zhihu was betrothed to Li Chang'an, who became the principal wife of the Tang emperor.
Following the regulations for a medium-sized fiefdom, the Tang emperor established three armies with 6,000 soldiers and bestowed upon them 500 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and 5,000 bolts of Shu brocade.
That night, Sweet Potato frowned and told Li Chang'an the news.
Li Chang'an patted Xu Weixiong's buttocks, greatly appreciating her efforts.
"Thanks to Wei Xiong's strategic planning, this matter was finally accomplished."
Xu Weixiong's face flushed red, and she was panting slightly, unable to utter a single word.
Sweet Potato giggled and said, "Hehe! Sister Wei Xiong, your swordsmanship has improved greatly!"
Li Chang'an remarked, "It's just that the scabbard is a bit tight."
Soon after, Xu Wei and Xiong Xiang were drenched in sweat and could no longer hold on, so they had to give up.
Sweet Potato, with her slender, jade-like hands and alluring eyes, groped her way to grasp the long knife.
"Your Highness... you've finished practicing swordsmanship, now it's time to practice saber techniques."
The alluring and seductive sweet potato, with the help of the dual cultivation technique, made rapid progress in her cultivation.
She sensed the powerful true energy emanating from the longsword and precisely sheathed it.
The precious sword was sheathed, eliciting a series of mournful cries!
Li Chang'an clicked his tongue in amazement, "The scabbard is tight enough!"
Before long, the sweet potato became completely absorbed in the moment, losing all sense of where it was.
"Sweet potato, I'll give you a dragon robe someday. Will you wear it?"
Dunhuang City held an extremely special position under the rule of the Northern Mang, and its city lord was an empress who wore dragon robes.
Sweet Potato babbled, "If Your Highness says to wear it... then I'll wear it..."
An hour later, the sweet potato was completely defeated.
"Your Highness... those who practice swordsmanship and those who practice sabers... are no match for Your Highness..."
"There's someone seriously practicing shooting outside the door..."
"Your Highness...isn't your favorite woman who loves martial arts the most...?"
The sweet potato was referring to the bluebird that was guarding the entrance.
Li Chang'an laughed and said, "Sweet Potato, you still have the mind to talk about others."
"That means we still have energy left, let's go again!"
Then came a gasp from Sweet Potato.
"No! Your Highness!"
"Waaaaah... Your Highness... Sweet Potato is going to die!"
The bluebird that had just delivered the imperial edict was still outside the door, not yet gone.
Bluebird, her face flushed, gripped the Moment Spear tightly in her hand!
However, Qingniao couldn't help but feel happy when she heard that Hongshu was being bullied by Li Chang'an.
"You little devil, you deserve to be taught a lesson by the Prince!"
An imperial edict from the Li Yang Dynasty arrived, and Xu Xiao secretly sent money and provisions as well.
Li Chang'an's rankings have all improved.
[Your power ranking has risen to 62nd!]
[Your wealth ranking has risen to 40th!]
[Your ranking for womanizing has risen to 125th!]
With both rankings in the top 100, the system finally initiated the settlement and rewarded a large number of mortal points.
Your influence in the Snowwalking world has greatly increased; you are rewarded with 25000 Mortal Points!
Now, Li Chang'an can legally command an army of six thousand.
However, Li Chang'an still habitually recruited an extra thousand people.
The next step is to go to the Western Regions, so cavalry will be indispensable.
