"Yes, Young Master." Xiao Zheng returned quickly and immediately sent someone to the house of Lu Douzhi, the imperial censor.

Lu Xi's body trembled, shaking uncontrollably.

The man's words were extremely casual, as if he were discussing the weather.

But this is her marriage!

Even if she can't be Xie Xingyun's concubine, she can choose the man in Kyoto as her first wife at will. How many women in Kyoto can surpass her in terms of family background?

But when Xie Xingyun interfered, it was completely different. She was not the only daughter in the family, and her father would definitely not choose to offend Xie Xingyun for her!

Lu Xi shook her voice and wanted to speak, but she saw the guard running out and fainted from fright.

Xiao Zheng grabbed her rope to avoid direct contact with her, cupped his fists and said: "Master, how should I deal with it?"

"Throw it away in mother's yard."

Xie Xingyun said without any emotion: "Don't let her appear here again."

"yes!"

…

The Liuli Banquet was to welcome the triumphant soldiers, but in reality it was a reward banquet to celebrate their achievements. The Xiyi Kingdom sent envoys this time, and the Ministry of Rites, in accordance with the regulations, scheduled the banquet to be held in the palace on June 20th.

The emperor paid special attention to this and ordered the ministers to treat him with dignity and set up several competitions in compliance with their requests. Even though Bai Tanshen was recuperating at home and Bai Jingyuan was granted leave, he still had to go to the banquet two days later.

After Xie Xingyun came to the door with gifts a few days ago and was rejected, he came to the General's Mansion for several days in a row.

The onlookers were shocked from the beginning, but later became indifferent.

"Tell me, when will the young Marquis be able to impress the girl from the Bai family? This has been going on for several days. I didn't expect him to be so persistent. I thought he would stop after being rejected once. After all, there are many noble girls of the right age in Kyoto!

"

"I don't think I'm going to impress the Bai family girl. I'm afraid I have to ask, when can I impress the Bai family girl's brothers who dote on my sister like their own children? If I have such a beautiful sister, I won't be able to let her go.

Get married!"

"The gifts are getting more and more each time, and this battle is also heroic. If the Bai family and the Xie family are married, it will be extraordinary..."

Xie Xingyun turned a deaf ear to this, and Xiao Zheng skillfully stepped forward to knock on the door. When the guard inside saw it was him, he was stunned for two seconds, and then immediately closed the door with a bang!

"Come here, this wooden stake is not strong anymore, please replace it with a new one!"

Xiao Zheng: "..."

He turned to look at his young master, only to see Xie Xingyun glance at the eaves thoughtfully.

Xiao Zheng was startled, "Sir, this is not a suitable place."

There were too many people, and it was still at the main entrance. It would be a bit indecent to enter like this.

Besides, they have a lot of stuff.

Xie Xingyun withdrew his eyes and said calmly, "Of course I know it's inappropriate."

Xiao Zheng was puzzled. The door of the General's Mansion was still open when he came a few days ago. He probably didn't expect that they would keep coming. Today was the first time that they were rejected. Now it seems that there is no better way, unless

Waiting for the door to open inside?

"Son, why don't you go and sit in the carriage first. If anyone goes out, we can go in."

Xie Xingyun was wearing a brocade robe, and his noble temperament was more obvious. He slightly curled his lips and looked in one direction, "No need."

Xiao Zheng followed his line of sight and found Bai Li standing on the eaves at some point. After confirming that it was the two of them, Bai Li took a breath and came down to lift the wooden stake away.

It turns out that Young Master just now was checking to see if Bai Li was there!

That's right, although the Bai brothers don't want to see them, Miss Bai's heart is for the young master. Knowing that the two of them are blocked at the door, she will definitely find a way to help them.

Under the "internal and external coordination", Xie Xingyun successfully reached the front yard.

Bai Tan listened deeply to the guard's report and heard that the person had been locked out of the door. Although he felt that something was wrong, he felt relieved. He frowned slightly and then thought that this was the order he had given yesterday, and paused for two seconds.

Then let them go.

He really didn't have a good attitude towards this kid who wanted to kidnap his sister.

He had been stationed at the border with his father since he was a child. After his father died, he and his sister spent less time together and separated more. They often went on an expedition, and when they came back, his sister had grown much taller.

Before he became a general, Bai Tanshen was regarded as a thorn in the side of many people because of his young age and his extraordinary courage and courage on the battlefield. They regarded him as an obstacle to their advancement.

For such a seedling, without the protection of his father, the situation in Kyoto was chaotic, and his father's cronies were dispersed to various military camps. It can be imagined that his life was easy, and every military achievement was earned by his blood.

When he returned to Kyoto in his late teens, there were already rumors in Kyoto that he was a soul-seeking Rakshasa from hell, who drank blood with raw hair and killed people indifferently. He was blinded by killing at a young age, and even said that he was a lone star of evil spirits.

, his parents will be killed, and his brothers and sister will also suffer.

The young Bai Tanshen had never met Yaomei several times. Even when his mother was pregnant, he always wanted a sweet and sweet sister.

He would buy her beautiful dresses and beautiful things that little girls like. Later, when Bai Xianyu was born, he had to leave Kyoto, and even meeting her became a luxury.

After not seeing each other for several years, he returned to Kyoto for the first time and was still a little timid about being close to home.

My sister is so young, will she misunderstand him because of the rumors outside?

If others misunderstood him, he was used to it.

But if his sister misunderstood him, he would be... very sad.

But on the day he returned, the young man Bai Tanshen encountered several gangsters committing murder. During the fight, he accidentally cut off the hand of one of them. The man grabbed his bright silver armor hoarsely and spattered blood on his face.

Face and tissue paper wrapped with candy.

He has been very courageous since he was a child and has never been afraid of anything. The emotion of fear is foreign and distant to him.

But when he heard the words "Xianyu, come back!" behind him, Bai Tanshen felt the fear in his heart for the first time.

The scene he expected the brother and sister to meet would be at the General's Mansion. When the sister saw him being the most peaceful and gentle person, she let go of her fear and hugged his legs and called him brother like before.

It shouldn't be like this. Seeing him covered in blood in this blood-soaked alley is just like Yama according to those people's rumors.

But even though the young man Bai Tanshen was frightened, he still slowly turned his head.

The pretty girl stood in front of him, no taller than his legs. She was fair and tender, with two double-ring buns tied with a red hairband. Her eyes were like agate, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her breathing was shallow.

Fairies are generally pure and flawless.

But a trace of panic flashed across her beautiful pupils, and she froze on the spot.

Although she was much taller than before, the young man Bai Tanshen still recognized her immediately.

He opened his mouth, trying to explain something.

But the more the blood was rubbed, the deeper it got, as if it was imprinted into the texture of his skin, making it difficult to wash away.

Bai Tan felt deeply powerless. Even if he explained, his younger sister would not listen.

But at this moment, the little Xianyu moved, she tilted her head, "Are you... my brother?"

The young man Bai Tan froze and subconsciously retorted, "No."

Come back to see her next time. A little girl's memory is easy to forget. He will come back when she has almost forgotten everything.

He doesn't want her to be afraid of him.

But as soon as he opened his legs, the little Xianyu ran over hummingly, hugged his legs, his round eyes were bright, and he said with a smile: "Lie, you are my brother!"

Her determined tone made him feel at a loss.

The young man Bai Tanshen felt that the smell of blood on his body was unbearable, but there was a large pool of blood where she was pressed. If she were any closer, her fair face would touch the blood.

His heart finally softened, and for the first time in his life, he lowered his tone and asked cautiously: "Aren't you afraid of Xianyu?"

"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Xianyu's voice was loud and clear, like jade beads falling on a silver plate, with an innocent smile.

The eyes of the young general who will sweep across the border in the future are hot, "Why are you not afraid of me? I have blood on my body."

"Because!" Little Xianyu's eyebrows were crooked and his two little tiger teeth were exposed in his smile, "Because you are Xianyu's brother."

The leaves swayed slightly, and he did not forget these words for a long time.

The young man's eyelashes drooped slightly, "Yeah."

"Is this the snack that my brother brought me?" The little Xianyu had a sharp nose. He immediately saw the bag of candy and asked with a smile: "Can Xianyu eat it now?"

The young man Bai Tan paused deeply and said, "It's dirty."

Seeing the little girl's greedy look, the young man Bai Tanshen made the second promise in his life - to protect his sister when she grows up and bring the best in the world to her.

…

The courtyards of Bai Jingyuan and Bai Jinyan were very close to each other. Emperor Wu Xuan gave Bai Jingyuan a leave of absence so that the two brothers could reminisce about the past. Therefore, Bai Jingyuan was rarely busy with official duties and often visited the mansion to enjoy flowers, visit the lake, or catch up on his sleep.

During this rare free time, Xie Xingyun's proposal of marriage soured his mood.

Therefore, when he heard the guard's report, Bai Jingyuan came out with a dark face.

Bai Jinyan lay on the chair holding the book and muttered: "How long does he plan to do this?"

Bai Mohuai commented: "The traitor will never die."

His beautiful baby cabbage had just grown hairpins, and he couldn't wait to pluck it out. Even Bai Mohuai, a famous smiling tiger among merchants, couldn't help but smile at him.
