Cultivating Immortality, Starting from Childhood Sweethearts

#463 - Princess of Chu (4000 words, two in one)

“Marriage certificate.”

When Liu Feng said these words, Old Madam Xu frowned.

The others in the courtyard also showed strange expressions.

Liu Feng, a former prime minister from the previous dynasty, actually came to deliver a marriage certificate?!

“What marriage certificate?” Old Madam Xu asked.

Although Old Madam Xu's expression was calm, she already had a very bad premonition in her heart.

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Liu Feng's mouth curled up, and he said loudly: “Naturally, it is the marriage certificate between the Chu Kingdom princess and the young master of your esteemed residence.”

“.”

Liu Feng's words made the others even more puzzled.

A marriage between the Chu Kingdom's princess and the Xu family?

The Chu Kingdom is one of the ten major dynasties of the human race.

When did the Chu Kingdom's princess decide to marry the Xu family?

Moreover, the relationship between the Chu Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom is actually not good; the two sides have always been estranged, and there are even frequent military confrontations on the border.

It's just that because both the Wu Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom border the Northern Wilderness, and the Northern Wilderness is above them, the Wu Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom have never fought, so as not to be taken advantage of by the Northern Wilderness.

The relationship between the two countries can be said to be no different from that of enemy states.

But now, your Chu Kingdom actually wants to form a marriage alliance with the Wu Kingdom?

The officials present couldn't figure out how the Chu Kingdom made this decision.

“Mr. Liu, I, this old woman, am not senile yet, but you are already confused?

Our Xu family has never had any connection with the Chu Kingdom, but now you come uninvited and tell me, this old woman, that you want to form a marriage alliance with the Chu Kingdom?

Moreover, the young men of our Xu family are not worthy of the Chu Kingdom's princess, are they?”

Old Madam Xu said forcefully, immediately drawing a line between herself and the Chu Kingdom.

As a Duke's mansion, if it has any connection with an enemy country, it will be beheaded!

The Xu family and the Qin family, even though all kinds of absurd things have happened in the past 200 years and the descendants are incompetent, they have all been safe and sound.

The main reason for this is that the Xu family and the Qin family do not participate in partisan politics and do not collude with foreign countries—these are the two bottom lines.

Liu Feng smiled: “How can there be no relationship?

The Empress Dowager of the Chu Kingdom has long heard of the fame of Xu Ming, the top scholar of the Xu family.

Today, Liu is here as a lobbyist, wanting to propose marriage to the Xu family.”

Many guests: “? ? ? ”

Xu Ming: “? ? ? ”

Wu Yanhan suddenly turned her head to look at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming said innocently in a low voice: “I have never been to the Chu Kingdom, nor have I met the princess of the Chu Kingdom, so I really don’t know about this matter.”

Wu Yanhan took a closer look at Xu Ming before turning her head and continuing to look at Liu Feng.

Old Madam Xu didn't say anything, just looked at Xu Ming, waiting for Xu Ming's answer.

Because the other party was coming for Xu Ming.

And Xu Ming has experienced many things during his travels.

Who knows if Xu Ming had some kind of relationship with the Chu Kingdom's princess during his travels?

Had a brief affair?

Xu Ming stood up and walked forward in full view, cupping his hands in salute to Liu Feng: “Junior Xu Ming pays respects to Mr. Liu, I have long heard of Mr. Liu’s great name.”

Liu Feng looked Xu Ming up and down, nodded, and a kind expression appeared in his eyes, returning the salute: “I have long heard of Young Master Xu’s great name.

Young Master Xu is both civil and military, and even went to the North Sea as an envoy, causing the North Sea to become friends with the Wu Kingdom.

It is the Wu Kingdom’s good fortune to have someone like Young Master Xu in the Wu Kingdom.”

“I am able to be where I am today thanks to His Majesty’s good training.”

Xu Ming routinely flattered Emperor Wu.

In the past, when Xu Ming said these words, he would feel a little nauseous.

But now that he has said it so many times, Xu Ming doesn't feel anything anymore.

But speaking of which, how long has it been, and even the Chu Kingdom knows about the Wu Kingdom's friendship with the North Sea?

From this, it can be seen that there are also people from the Chu Kingdom in Wudu.

“May I ask, Mr. Liu, I have never had any connection with the Chu Kingdom or the princess of the Chu Kingdom,” Xu Ming’s voice spread throughout the entire courtyard, “I don’t know where this marriage certificate comes from?”

Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Xu Ming really needed to stand up and say a few words at this time.

Otherwise, others would really think that he had something to do with the Chu Kingdom.

But he had no relationship with the Chu Kingdom, let alone stepped into the territory of the Chu Kingdom.

As for that princess of the Chu Kingdom, he had never even met her.

The other party only wants to betroth the princess to me because I am famous?

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense.

Liu Feng smiled and said: “Master Xu’s reputation is known throughout the world, and he is even second on the Azure Cloud List.

It is rumored that he is both a body and law cultivator.

It is only natural that the Chu Kingdom’s ruler wants to betroth the princess to you, Master Xu.

Moreover, nowadays, talents are emerging from various sects and dynasties, and the Northern Wilderness is eyeing our Central Plains.

If the Wu Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom continue to confront each other, it will definitely be harmful and not beneficial to both countries.

It is better for the Wu Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom to join hands and jointly deal with the Northern Wilderness.

Young Master Xu is the top scholar of the Wu Kingdom, the future leader of the Wu Kingdom's literary world, and has no small achievements in the path of immortal cultivation.

I believe that this will definitely lead to a beautiful marriage.”

Listening to the other party's words, Xu Ming frowned.

Although what the other party said made sense, Xu Ming didn't think so.

Xu Ming felt that the other party must have something to ask for.

“Then I’m sorry, I don’t want to get married recently, so please forgive the Chu Kingdom for this matter.”

Xu Ming refused directly, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.

And just as Xu Ming refused, Wu Yanhan's expression relaxed slightly, and even the corners of her mouth curled up, with a hint of a smile.

“Heh heh heh.”

Liu Feng smiled.

“Master Xu can take his time and not rush to refuse.

After all, Master Xu has not met our princess yet, and marriage is a major event, ordered by parents and arranged by matchmakers.

I believe the elders need to discuss it carefully.” Liu Feng smiled.

Old Madam Xu frowned: “Regarding Ming’er’s marriage, we old guys can’t see clearly, so Ming’er will make all the decisions himself.”

“That’s right, that’s right.”

At this time, Xu Zheng quickly stood up and said to Liu Feng, “Ming’er’s marriage will naturally be decided by my son.

Besides, His Majesty bestowed a marriage back then, but my family’s Ming’er didn’t accept it.

What is your Chu Kingdom?

Is your Chu Kingdom’s princess in the top ten of the Red Beauty List or something?”

And just as Xu Zheng’s words fell, everyone’s eyes turned to Xu Zheng’s direction.

Xu Ming’s eyebrows twitched.

He didn't know if his old man was missing a string or what.

Can these words be said?

Should you say these words?

Even if it's the truth, you can't say it.

“Cough cough cough…” Old Madam Xu quickly coughed a few times, telling Xu Zheng to stop talking and quickly step down.

Xu Zheng also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he just smiled awkwardly and then said nothing more.

Xu Ming pretended not to hear his old man's words and cupped his hands in salute to Liu Feng: “Thank you very much for your country's high regard for me.

Your country's princess must be extremely outstanding.

But please forgive your country, I really have no intention of getting married, so let's forget about this marriage.

But since Mr. Liu is here, please sit for a while longer.”

Xu Ming's words landed.

Mr. Cao flicked the white jade wine cup in his hand towards Liu Feng.

This marriage alliance will definitely not be successful, and the other party can't just come and go as they please.

The moment the white jade wine cup was about to touch Liu Feng, the white jade wine cup shattered instantly.

The wine splashed open.

This cup of wine turned into strands of silk, binding Liu Feng.

However, Liu Feng did not struggle, only wearing a smile.

At the same time, Li Han and others slammed the table and stood up, holding Tang horizontal knives and killing towards Liu Feng.

“Heh heh! You people, are you worthy of using Tang horizontal knives?”

The girl beside Liu Feng sneered and pulled out a long knife painted black all over.

The long knife in the girl's hand was also in the shape of a Tang horizontal knife.

In this world, there is a Tang country, and the Tang country three thousand years ago was also one of the ten major dynasties of the human race, and even the most powerful one among the ten major human dynasties.

It is a pity that the Tang country eventually had internal strife, and the last Tang king was昏庸 and fatuous, and finally the Tang country was destroyed.

Among them, a kind of knife was created by the Tang country.

The name of the knife is called Tang horizontal knife.

This Tang horizontal knife is almost exactly the same as the Tang horizontal knife of Xu Ming's previous life, Blue Star.

This kind of knife is generally seventy to eighty centimeters long, the blade length is between fifty and sixty centimeters, the thickness is about six to eight millimeters, and the width is generally between three and four centimeters.

Compared to ordinary broadswords, this kind of knife is more slender and “refined”.

If ordinary broadswords are a rough warrior.

Then the Tang horizontal knife is the kind of Confucian general who can go to battle and kill enemies on horseback, and can govern the world off horseback.

The biggest reason why Xu Ming designated the Tang horizontal knife as the standard weapon of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is that he hopes that the current Embroidered Uniform Guard and the future Embroidered Uniform Guard will not be the kind of organization that only knows how to rely on violence, but should read more books.

Even if they leave the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they can be competent in some other positions.

And the Chu Kingdom is the successor of the Tang Kingdom.

Today's Chu Kingdom is built on the former Tang Kingdom.

So the Chu Kingdom does have a lot of say in the Tang horizontal knife.

The moment Li Han Guangyin and others slashed down with their long knives, the Tang horizontal knife in the girl's hand was pulled out, and the black blade slashed on Li Han's blade.

The long knife in Li Han's hand was directly cut out of a gap, and the huge impact force sent Li Han flying out.

Immediately afterwards, the girl turned around and kicked, and Guangyin knocked over a table, and the food splashed everywhere.

Many of the guests sensed danger and quickly fled the courtyard to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

Just as the girl's long blade was about to strike Zhao Feiyan again, a delicate fist hurtled towards her.

Although the fist was small, the power it contained was terrifying.

"Clang!"

The Tang blade collided with the fist.

The girl and Wu Yanh Han both staggered backward.

The bamboo hat on the girl's head fell to the ground.

Xu Ming saw the girl's face.

She was indeed beautiful, with delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, giving her an air of heroism. Her almond-shaped eyes revealed a hint of aloofness, and beneath her straight nose were delicate, rosy lips.

Her aura was very similar to Wu Yanhan's.

Or rather, women who wielded blades and practiced martial arts all possessed a kind of aggressive aura.

And people with similar auras, especially those with similar appearances, and especially women, would generate a kind of repulsion.

Xu Ming could clearly feel the mutual dislike between the two of them.

"Boom!"

Wu Yanhan and the girl took a step forward simultaneously.

The black blade collided with Wu Yanhan's fist.

Wu Yanhan was already at the peak of the Golden Body Realm and was not afraid of those icy blades at all.

Their attacks were all deadly, each strike aimed for the flesh, and they were both going for the kill.

The violent martial artist's true energy and spiritual power reverberated throughout the courtyard.

"She's got some skills," Xu Ming thought, admiring the girl who was fighting Wu Yanhan.

Wu Yanhan was a martial arts prodigy, and she was at the peak of the Golden Body Realm. Yet, he didn't expect that the other party would be able to fight Wu Yanhan in close combat without being at a disadvantage.

Especially the blade techniques that the girl wielded were incredibly skillful.

Who is this girl?

Wu Yanhan was in the top ten of the Azure Cloud Rankings.

For someone to be able to fight Wu Yanhan to a standstill, evenly matched, they must have a name on the Azure Cloud Rankings.

But he remembered that there didn't seem to be anyone from the Tang Kingdom on the Azure Cloud Rankings.

Could it be that this person had only just "descended the mountain?"

Xu Ming felt that this was the only possibility.

"Boom!"

A loud noise rang out, and Wu Yanhan and the girl once again separated. The surrounding tables had already been overturned.

This was still the result of the two of them being very restrained.

Because there were still many ordinary people in this courtyard, and they both seemed worried about hurting innocent people, they were very restrained.

Just as Wu Yanhan was about to move forward again to capture her, Eunuch Wei Xun walked quickly into the courtyard and shouted in his characteristic high-pitched voice, "By imperial decree!"

Wu Yanhan frowned, her eyes filled with displeasure, but she still lowered her fists.

The girl also "hmph-ed" and put down the blade in her hand unhappily.

Wei Gonggong looked at the messy scene in the courtyard and couldn't help but wipe away sweat. He announced in a loud voice:

"By imperial decree: I have long heard of Mr. Liu Feng's great name. I have admired him for a long time. Now that Mr. Liu Feng has come to visit Wudu, how can I not treat him as a guest? Moreover, with the Princess of Chu visiting, I must treat her with the etiquette due to a state guest. I have already prepared a banquet to entertain the two of you, to fulfill my duties as a host. I hope the two of you will not decline."

Princess of Chu?

Xu Ming and the others looked at the girl holding the black Tang blade.

The others also looked over, especially Wu Yanhan.

When Wu Yanhan learned that the other party was the Princess of Chu, her hostility increased.

The Princess of Chu did not show any weakness, and she also turned to look directly into Wu Yanhan's eyes, their gazes almost sparking.

The Chu Kingdom had two princesses. Although there was little news about them, one was already an adult, and the other was only eight or nine years old.

The one who could marry Xu Ming was naturally the one in front of them.

Liu Feng smiled and easily broke free from the ropes soaked in wine.

The wine spilled on the ground, but Liu Feng's clothes were not stained at all.

Liu Feng stepped forward and bowed to Wei Xun: "Since it is His Majesty's invitation, how can this old man refuse? I hope that Eunuch will lead the way."
