Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 266

[Chapter 266: Fuso Incident]

Lin Xiu finally realized what it meant to be easy to get married but difficult to get divorced.

Marriage can be a momentary impulse, but when it comes to separation, there are many concerns.

Losing Lingjun also means that Lin Xiu will lose Lingyin.

This is what he least wants to see.

After this storm, the days that followed returned to the previous calm.

Lin Xiu practiced with Lingyin and Princess Minghe during the day, and fell asleep in the land of gentleness at night. During this period, he also attended the wedding of Li Baizhang and Chen Peipei. She is now the concubine of the King of Qin. After Li Baizhang got married, he moved out of the King of Qin’s mansion. I don’t know what the King of Qin’s wife felt in her heart. What

she lost was not only her family, but also, most likely, the position that she might never have thought of.

Comparing them, Lingjun is still better.

One day, Lin Xiu just walked out of the Yishu Academy and saw Zhu Jin standing at the door of the Yishu Academy.

Lin Xiu glanced at him and asked, “Wait for me?”

Zhu Jin nodded and said, “Your Majesty summoned you.”

Last time, Lin Xiu helped him solve the assassination of the genius of the Three Kingdoms and calmed down a storm that had not yet arisen. Later, the court took this opportunity to reach some agreements with the Western Regions, Nanyue, and Beimang, and deepened its ties with several countries.

A more important point is that from now on, the top talents of the Western Regions, Nanyue, and Beimang can be sent to Daxia for training, and represent Daxia in the competition. After the age of 25, they can freely choose to stay or leave.

At that time, whether they stay in Daxia or return to serve in their country, Daxia will not interfere.

This is a win-win choice.

Compared with Daxia, honor has little effect on those small countries.

What they lack is resources.

With their national strength, they can’t cultivate top powerhouses at all.

Daxia helped them cultivate strong people, and they helped Daxia win honor, which was beneficial to both sides. From the perspective of the Western Regions, Nanyue and Beimang, this condition was already very generous. The other major dynasties were almost plundering the talents and resources of those small countries. The small countries whose resources and talents were plundered only received nominal protection in return. It was similar

to being broken into by robbers, occupying the wife and children’s property, and then telling them that I have this place covered, and no one will bully you in the future…

Lin Xiu walked into the imperial study and said with a fist: “Your Majesty.”

Emperor Xia looked at him and said: “I called you here this time to discuss the marriage with the Qianye family. I’m afraid you have to go to Fusang in person for this matter.”

Not long ago, Emperor Xia sent envoys to Fusang to discuss the marriage.

But the result was not smooth.

Although Fusang is adjacent to Daxia, its relationship with Daxia is not as close as that of countries such as the Western Regions and Nanyue. First, because the domestic situation in Fusang is complicated, the clans are divided, and there is no unified regime, it is impossible to establish diplomatic relations with Daxia as a country.

Secondly, although Fusang is small, it is a place of spiritual practice resources like Java. There is one of the largest volcanic groups on the continent. And for some unknown reason, people with fire ability can practice faster near Fusang’s volcanoes than near other volcanoes on the continent.

This makes Fusang a must-fight place for the five dynasties. At present, the largest clan in Fusang is supported by Dayu, and some other large and small families also have the shadow of the five dynasties.

This time, Daxia sent people to marry the Qianye family. Dayu, who got the news, naturally would not sit idly by and watch Fusang Tianjiao marry to Daxia.

The assassination failed, so they simply proposed a marriage to the Qianye family.

Daying, Dalu, and even Daluo were not to be outdone, and they proposed marriages one after another, and the pressure was once again put on the Qianye family.

The five dynasties, none of them could afford to offend, and no one dared to offend. After discussion, they decided to hold a fair and just competition. Whoever can become the final winner, the Qianye family will marry him.

This move threw the problem to the five dynasties again.

Everyone depends on their own ability. No matter who wins or loses in the end, the Qianye family cannot be blamed.

Emperor Xia looked at Lin Xiu and said, “The age limit for this competition is under 30 years old. The five dynasties each have three places. The other dynasties may send out the geniuses of the previous Tianjiao list or even the previous one. Do you have confidence?”

Lin Xiu said, “I will do my best…”

It seems that it is not that easy to help Qianye Lin, but since things have come to this point, he can only do it.

After a while, the prince and the king of Qi were also summoned to the imperial study.

Emperor Xia looked at them and said, “You always say that I favor Lin Xiu and don’t give you a chance. This time, I will give you a chance. Who of you is willing to represent the Great Xia court, go to Fusang, and bring that Tianjiao back to the court?” The

prince and the king of Qi looked at each other in bewilderment.

How could they have this ability?

This competition, to some extent, was even more intense than the big competition. It was an arena for the strong. Apart from their status, they were nothing. They were afraid that they could not even take a move from those people.

The prince immediately bowed and said, “The King of Qi has always wanted the Fusang girl to be his concubine. Let him go.”

The King of Qi was not to be outdone and immediately said, “No, no, no, that Fusang Tianjiao has a noble status. Only the prince is worthy of it…”

A few days ago, the two were still fighting for it, but now they were more humble than each other.

Emperor Xia looked at the two people who were still standing there and still being humble, then looked at Lin Xiu on the side, waved his hand impatiently, and said, “Back off, don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance. I gave you a chance, but you are useless…”

The King of Qi and the prince hurried away, and the last two places in Daxia were given to Zhang Ren of the Zhang family and Song Yuzhang of the Song family.

After all, they are the strongest of the younger generation besides Lin Xiu.

After this news came out, it also caused widespread discussion in the capital.

“Whoever can marry that Fusang Tianjiao will be considered a hero of Daxia!”

“I also want to win glory for the country, but unfortunately I don’t have that kind of strength.”

“Why is it Lin Xiu again? Didn’t he just marry two people? Can you leave the opportunity to us?”

“You, do you have that strength? Let’s get into the top ten of the competition first. Didn’t you see that these three candidates were selected according to their ranking in the competition? Do you think anyone can represent Daxia?”

…

The people of the royal capital had great expectations for this matter.

Although they envied and even envied Lin Xiu, they could still tell the difference in the face of such national issues.

If he could marry the Fusang Tianjiao, it would be for the glory of the country, for Daxia to recruit talents, and to complete what all Daxia men wanted to do but couldn’t do. He can be regarded as a role model for our generation…

This time, he was not lustful, but for the country.

This is how Lin Xiu explained it in front of the couple of Ping’an Marquis and the couple of Wu’an Marquis.

He said seriously, “Your Majesty hopes that the genius from Fusang can stay in Daxia, so that in the competition a few months later, Daxia will have one more person on the list of geniuses, and with Miss Qianye’s strength, it will be no problem for her to enter the top ten of the list of geniuses. This means that in the next few years, Daxia will be able to obtain more resources and cultivate more geniuses. Next time, Lingyin can practice in the polar region for not one month, but two months, three months, or even longer…”

He changed his tone and said, “But if Miss Qianye is taken away by Dayu, the resources she can fight for will also belong to Dayu. In the next three years, Daxia may happen to lose the resources of the polar region, and Lingyin will not be able to practice outside…”

Lin Xiu used Lingyin’s practice as an example, and Ping’an Hou and Wu’an Hou and their wives understood.

Lingyin was promoted to the earth level because of her trip to the polar region.

It turned out that he had such an important mission to go to Fusang this time.

For the Wu’an Marquis and his wife, this son-in-law is good in every way, but there are too many marriages. His Majesty always likes to grant him marriages. Although they can understand that His Majesty does this to better continue his bloodline talent, they are still worried that he will forget the old one and neglect Lingjun.

This time he went to Fusang to marry another woman. As the father-in-law and mother-in-law, it is impossible for them to say that they have no objections.

But this is His Majesty’s request, and he has such an important mission, so they can’t say anything more.

His Majesty just sent a box of grapes from the Western Regions. Lin Xiu planned to let his parents and father-in-law and mother-in-law take some when they go back. This is a rare thing. In addition to the harem, he only rewarded Lin Xiu, and the prince and the King of Qi did not have any.

This tribute grape is big and sweet, fleshy and juicy, thin skin and seedless. Lin Xiu peeled a full bowl and put one into Caiyi’s mouth. Ning’er’s head also came over.

Lin Xiu fed her another one, and she left with satisfaction and continued to play Go with Qin Wan.

Lin Xiu always treats everyone equally. After feeding Caiyi and Ning’er, he naturally cannot leave Qin Wan out. When Lin Xiu walked over and fed Qin Wan a peeled grape, and was about to return to the table to enjoy it himself, he suddenly felt two scrutinizing gazes.

He spread his peripheral vision and saw that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were looking at him.

Lin Xiu thought to himself that it was not good, and he forgot that they were still here.

He walked past the stone table and came to Lingjun who was talking to Lingyin. He picked up the largest grape with a toothpick and smiled: “My wife, you have one too…”

Zhao Lingjun was stunned for a moment, then realized something, leaned forward slightly, took the grape that Lin Xiu fed her with her delicate lips, and smiled: “Thank you, husband…”

Behind Lin Xiu, the scrutinizing gaze of Wu’an Hou and his wife softened.

Lingyin took the jade bowl from Lin Xiu and said, “Thank you…”
