Li Chen reached out to pinch the little guy's face, "Your Majesty bestowed me a beauty that can topple nations, are you sure you want me to accept her? It just happens that I don't think it's right to reject him. Should I go and ask him for his return? "
Little Charmer was instantly stunned, allowing Li Chen's hand to strike his own face. He didn't even have time to react.
"Little fool!" Li Chen chuckled, then suddenly leaned over and gently kissed the herald.
Xiao Xun suddenly regained his senses and slapped Li Chen's hand and said angrily: "What! His Majesty actually wants to give you a beauty! "
"That's right! And she's a priceless beauty! " Li Chen deliberately emphasized the word 'priceless': "What, you still want to think about it?"
Little Charmer gritted his teeth: "Yes! Why not! I still need a maid who can carry tea, pour water, wash and cook! "
Li Chen laughed. He didn't know if Little Jun would say such words when she found out that the woman was a Princess Jiayi.
Just as they were chatting casually, a voice suddenly came from outside, "Princess Jiayi has arrived!"
The grapevine put away his playful thoughts, and then his eyes were a little gloomy.
Seeing Li Chen and the rumors, Jia Yi nodded his head towards the rumors, and without caring about what was going on in the palace, he directly said to Li Chen: "Can I have a few words with you alone?"
Regarding the matters of the imperial court, Jia Yi knew about it immediately.
It had to be said that Jia Yi was very happy when she heard that Wan Tongtian wanted to grant her a marriage, but she quickly found out about Li Chen's rejection.
Therefore, she rushed over here in a hurry to ask Li Chen about this.
Xiao Liu gazed at Li Chen's and Jia Yi's faces for a long time, she subconsciously wanted to hug Li Chen's arms tightly, as though she wanted to prove her ownership.
Li Chen comforted the little guy as he patted his hands: "You go out first!"
She thought, Li Chen said that she was a priceless beauty, how can she be considered priceless?
Only someone like Jia Yi, who had a noble and beautiful identity, could be called priceless!
However, very quickly, the rumor comforted itself. If Li Chen had any other intentions, he would have agreed to it when the emperor bestowed the marriage upon him instead of choosing to reject it.
Thinking about it this way, Little Charmer felt more comfortable in his heart, so he gave an "oh" to Li Chen before leaving the room.
The followers behind Princess Jiayi all walked out of their own accord.
The moment Li Chen saw the Princess Jiayi, he guessed that the Princess Jiayi must have come for the matters of the imperial court.
"I heard that father wanted to betroth me to you, but you refused?" Jia Yi said straightforwardly.
Li Chen nodded calmly, "I don't think we're suitable."
Jia Yi sneered: "What's suitable?"
After musing for a while, he said: "You are a princess, and I am only a commoner in the Beiming Nation, it is not really appropriate. Moreover, if I return to the Southern Region, would your royal father agree to let me go with you?"
That was the real problem. Although it was an excuse, but it should be enough for Jia Yi to agree with him, right? Li Chen thought.
Jia Yi frowned slightly: "What's wrong with Beiming Nation? Isn't it better to be carefree here for the rest of my life? "
This question made Li Chen want to laugh: "Then what's wrong with the Southern Domain? Why must I choose a Beiming Nation? "
In the end, Jia Yi was still too naive, and couldn't say a word after being asked by Li Chen in that instant.
"I won't marry you, but I simply don't like you. It's not that you're not good enough, but that we're really unsuitable?" Li Chen explained with a serious expression.
Jia Yi slightly raised his head, his face carrying a smile: "Am I not suitable? Is she really suitable for you? "
Li Chen naturally knew that she was referring to a small rumor. He frowned slightly, not liking comparing her to a small novel.
"She's a very good girl." In one sentence, Li Chen didn't want to make any further comments, but Jia Yi's attitude made him feel that something was off.
"I see." Jia Yi looked at Li Chen deeply, then turned and left.
Once Jia Yi left, Little Charmer ran back and looked at Li Chen with a gossipy expression: "What did the two of you say behind my back?"
Li Chen couldn't help but want to laugh: "He asked me which one of you was bigger and which one was younger after we got married."
The grapevine suddenly felt wronged. "Why!? Didn't you say that you won't marry her? "
Seeing that her eyes were suddenly filled with tears, Li Chen hugged her with a smile: "I'm lying! I won't marry her! "
Hearing Li Chen's words, the herald felt a little relieved. She raised her head to look at Li Chen, and the corner of her mouth slightly curled. They thought Li Chen was popular!
No, she had to get out of here as soon as possible.
"When are we going to leave?" Little Charmer asked Li Chen as he acted coquettishly.
Li Chen frowned slightly: "I guess it'll be for the next two days! I just want to wait for Xiong Ke to give me an answer. "
To Li Chen, this Beiming Nation was not worth his attention. He only wanted Xiong Ke to follow Yang Wei and the others back to the Southern Region.
He would give Xiong Ke the Dragon Essence. At that time, if Sword Seeking Sect had two Martial Saints, he wouldn't need to be so afraid of the revenge from the other clans in the Southern Region.
The grapevine opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.
Since she was young, she had lived in the Beiming Nation, she had heard quite a few legends about Xiong Ke, and she truly admired and respected this man. Even the rumors doubted her, would Wan Tongtian really let Xiong Ke leave?
He couldn't be sure about that.
Not long after Jia Yi left, Xiong Ke came as well.
Seeing Xiong Ke's frown, Li Chen could not help but laugh: "General Xiong would not think that I should not reject the emperor's suggestion today, right?"
Xiong Ke shook his head: "Of course not, if you're willing to marry, then marry. If not, no one can force you!"
Hearing Xiong Ke's words, Li Chen's heart became a lot more at ease.
"It's just that I'm very worried about his actions ?"
Xiong Ke did not finish his words, but Li Chen understood what he was worried about, and said indifferently: "It's fine, he can't even force me if he wants to, at worst, I can just leave."
After he finished speaking, Li Chen looked at Xiong Ke and said, "As for you, have you decided whether to stay or leave with me?"
Although he knew what kind of person Xiong Ke was, and following him meant more of a future, he also had one thing in common, which was that he would never be able to protect everything in the Beiming Nation.
"I will request for an order tomorrow. Tell His Majesty to allow me to return from my old injury and remove my armor and return to the fields."
Xiong Ke's words were tantamount to telling Li Chen that he had decided to leave together with Li Chen.
Li Chen laughed: "I'm waiting for your good news!"
Even though those words were said, Xiong Ke's heart was extremely heavy. On the next day, Xiong Ke handed over the paper.
After he clearly saw what was written on it, a burst of anger ignited in Wan Tongtian's heart.
How could he allow Xiong Ke to leave immediately?
He still relied on him to protect the Beiming Nation!
It took a lot of effort for Wan Tongtian to dispel his anger, and in the next two days, he didn't even manage to receive a reply from Wan Tongtian.
On the other hand, Li Chen did receive a large amount of gold and silver treasures.
"It's just a common thing!" Seeing those things, Li Chen said indifferently.
Little Charmer didn't care that much, and immediately said to Li Chen: "A common thing? If you don't want it, then just give it to me! "
The end result was that most of the stuff went into the biblical pocket.
Li Chen naturally laughed it off. On the third day, he could no longer sit still and directly told Wan Tongtian about it.
"What does General Xiong mean by this?" Wan Tongtian's expression slowly turned cold.
Xiong Ke said in a slightly helpless manner, "For the sake of the Beiming Nation's war horse, I truly wish to remove my armor and return to the field at this time. I ask for Your Majesty's permission."
Wan Tongtian's expression was ice-cold as he stared at Xiong Ke's pained heart and said, "You know that in the entire Beiming Nation, the person I trust the most is you! "But why would you ?"
Before Wan Tongtian could finish his words, Xiong Ke interrupted him and said: "I am truly helpless, my strength is almost at its end, if I do not train hard, in a hundred years, I will only be a pile of bones, I beg Your Majesty to allow this lowly one to exist!"
Xiong Ke had already said this much, but Wan Tongtian did not have any intentions of giving in.
On the second day, in the palace, Wan Tongtian rewarded Xiong Ke with many things in the name of Xiong Ke protecting the nation, and in the end, gave the order to marry Xiong Ke and Princess Jiayi!
When this news came out, everyone in the Divine Wood City was dumbfounded!
Even Li Chen felt that Wan Tongtian had gone mad.
Princess Jiayi also never thought that the Emperor would grant Xiong Ke a marriage, and immediately felt a bit dizzy.
'This Emperor... I'm afraid you're a little confused. " After hearing that, the small talk smacked her lips, she finally understood why Li Chen said that the person you were envious of back then was also envious of you.
Although Xiong Ke was not ugly, and was tall and strong, he could still be considered to be in the same generation as Wan Tongtian.
Xiong Ke anxiously asked Wan Tongtian to retract his order, even Princess Jiayi could not sit still.
She did not get a single piece of information, and getting her to marry Xiong Ke in an instant, was simply unprepared!
"I wonder what Wan Tongtian will do now!" Li Chen and the small legend also sighed when they thought about this.
For the sake of tying Xiong Ke up, Wan Tongtian had really gone all out, to the point where he could ignore even the happiness of his own daughter.
But soon, a new piece of news came from the palace.
Princess Jiayi had claimed that he already had a family background, and thus didn't want to marry Xiong Ke.
This time, the heavenly thunder rolled!
Li Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In order to not marry Xiong Ke, Jia Yi had even made a name for himself!
But Li Chen quickly lost his smile! Under Wan Tongtian's questioning, Jia Yi finally revealed the identity of the person who did it!
It was Li Chen himself.
When Li Chen heard this news, he almost vomited all of it.
This was truly a person sitting at home with a pot coming from the sky! Who did he offend!
