Chapter 271 Son of God

Author: Rongtu

As all the soldiers withdrew from the Xiao Mansion, this sudden farce finally came to an abrupt end.

But no matter whether it is the current masters and servants of the Xiao Mansion, or the other guests who were frightened by the imperial power and dispersed all over the place, everyone knows that this matter will never end here.

It is estimated that at this time, there are rumors all over Fengcheng and surrounding counties. It is not clear whether the focus of the rumors is whether the young lady of the Xiao family is getting married according to the decree, or whether His Highness the King of Jin intends to station troops to rebel.

As the uninvited guests left, the servants of the Xiao family also appeared in the front yard. The group of soldiers with knives were indeed too scary, as if they were about to kill at the slightest disagreement.

Although the government soldiers were always on standby outside the compound, no one wanted bloody killings to occur in their compound.

The previous conversation between the masters and the servants all listened. The old general suddenly used Master Mo to rescue the young lady. It was a clever move, but it was not a long-term solution.

"Let's all withdraw."

General Xiao noticed the servants gathered around him out of the corner of his eye and waved his hand, "Send fresh ones to the army for today's meal."

He has always been frugal and never extravagant or wasteful. He had prepared more than a dozen tables and could not throw them away hastily.

Then he turned around and thanked the Nangong family for supporting him. After exchanging a few words with Nangong Zhen, the other party took his people and left the Xiao Mansion.

The family gathered in General Xiao's study with sad faces, seeking solutions for the future.

"Dad, what should we do now?"

Xiao Yichen couldn't bear the depressing atmosphere in the room and was the first to break the dead silence, "Do you really want Xiao Qingtian to get married early?"

Naturally, he was extremely reluctant in his heart. Even if he married Xiao Jingmo, who became the grandson of the Xiao family, he would not be happy.

When thinking of his sister who died young, Xiao Yichen didn't want to think too much about his niece leaving him early and becoming his wife.

From the moment Su Qingtian appeared, Xiao Yichen made up his mind to keep his niece at home as a memorial, even if she could not find her favorite husband in the future and keep her at home for the rest of her life.

As Xiao Yichen spoke, everyone in the room looked at General Xiao.

"Actually, there is no need to be so nervous."

Lu Chen leaned against the window and said calmly, "As long as the sect leader shows his identity as the head of the Tianzong, I believe that the emperor will naturally not dare to marry her away to another country."

As the sect leader, Su Qingtian naturally represents the Tianzong. If the old emperor dares to have his own way, it would be equivalent to giving up the great treasure that everyone covets from the Tianzong.

No matter how stupid he is, he would never dare to do such a stupid thing.

After hearing Lu Chenyi's suggestion, many people agreed that this was indeed a once and for all solution.

"I don't think it's appropriate."

Xiao Hanyue suddenly objected, "The Xiao family is a thorn in the side of the royal family and the Imperial Master. If they know that Qingtian has such an unusual identity, I am afraid they will try their best to get rid of my Xiao family."

"It's easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. Now the emperor thinks that he can still use his power to contain the Xiao family. Once exposed, he will probably do anything secretly."

"Even if we keep Qingtian's surroundings airtight, it's inevitable that other innocent people will be brutally murdered."

Xiao Hanyue's words awakened everyone.

Xiao Ruofeng also nodded and said, "Brother is very thoughtful. I have been doing business in most of the country in the past few years, and I did hear some unusual rumors from some gossip."

He recalled while saying, "It is said that although the Holy One was wary of the prestige and strength of the Xiao family in the military, he never doubted that the Xiao family would have treasonous intentions. It was not until the Son of Heaven became a national advisor and became close to His Majesty that His Majesty gradually

I became suspicious of the Xiao family and targeted them everywhere."

This news is not a good thing at the moment, and everyone in the room fell silent again.

"Sect Master Lu."

Xiao Nan suddenly thought of something and came to Lu Chen to bow and ask for advice, "You have been practicing Taoism for many years. Do you know who the national master is?"

"Is it true, as the world says, that he has supreme magical power that can reach the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, which even your Heavenly Sect can't match?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows at this question, put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at everyone with a serious look on his face.

"The Son of God does indeed have real abilities, and his cultivation should not be underestimated. After Tianzong first learned about this person, he tried many ways to investigate his origins, but unfortunately, no results have been found so far, let alone how he became the national preceptor.

"

"I heard that someone recommended him." Xiao Ruofeng touched his chin and said, "However, I don't think this news is true. 90% of it is hearsay."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Lu Chen became interested for a moment and squinted his eyes.

"It is rumored that Master Mingshan of Shengguo Temple introduced Tianshenzi to meet the Holy Master. Shengshui fell in love with him as soon as he saw him and granted him the title of National Master."

Xiao Ruofeng laughed out loud as he said this, "No one who knows anything about Master Mingshan would think this rumor is true."

"Who is Master Mingshan? He devotes himself to the Buddha and never hears about worldly affairs. Why would he recommend some god's son as a national teacher?"

"If nothing else, the Son of God and Master Mingshan have had almost no interaction over the years. I don't know where such rumors came from."

Listening to Xiao Ruofeng's analysis, everyone felt that it was just a false rumor made by someone, but it attracted the attention of Su Qingtian, who had been silent on the side.

"Third uncle, where did you hear this?" The girl took a bite of the peach blossom cake and asked, "Do you still remember the person who said this?"

Seeing Su Qingtian's questioning, Xiao Ruofeng changed his slightly casual attitude before, and after recalling it carefully, his face was full of apologies.

"I really don't remember. I just heard it as a joke."

"Sect Master, do you think this is true?"

As soon as Chase Lu saw what Su Qingtian was thinking, he couldn't help but recall, "I once had a relationship with Master Mingshan. He was full of merit and virtue, and his aura was completely different from that of the National Master."

"Sect Master Lu has also seen the Imperial Master?" Xiao Ruofeng couldn't help but ask, "The Imperial Master will only appear in front of everyone during major memorial ceremonies. I have only seen him from a distance once so far."

"I've seen it before." Lu Chen said, "The Son of God at that time was not the national master."

Unexpectedly, the two met so many years ago, which aroused everyone's interest.

"Decades ago, when I was traveling, I discovered an evil spirit was causing trouble in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. On the way to deal with the evil spirit, I met the still young Son of God."

"Although I couldn't see his cultivation at that time, I could feel the powerful power in his body. This power was far superior to mine."

"Really so powerful?!" Xiao Nan blurted out, "No wonder he can become a national master."

As he said this, he felt faintly worried.
