Six hundred and seventieth chapters dragon slaying (forty-one)
"Was the Supreme Emperor just taking Xu as a pastime?" Xu Le held it in a while before responding with such a cold word. Although he did not refuse openly, the words would offend people to the extreme. Don't say Yang Guang, even if Li Shimin was standing opposite him, he would be furious when he heard this and turned against Xu Le, and if he didn't make any attempt to discuss marriage, he would probably have to meet him.
Xu Le also knew very well what consequences would be caused by his words, but he didn't care at all. Or, he wanted to make things like this, so that everyone could be convenient for each other. He never dreamed that Yang Guang would actually want to recruit him as his son-in-law. Even though he was extremely agile, he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, and how to deal with it.
It’s not that Xu Le is really stupid in terms of relationships or marriage, and he doesn’t know how to deal with it once he encounters it. On the contrary, the three generations of the Xu family, from Xu Dan to Xu Le, were extremely smart, and they were enough to deal with Yu Ru in terms of battle formations or human nature.
Although Xu Gan was dissatisfied with the aristocratic family, the Xu family’s military achievements were there. If it weren’t for the East Palace change, the Xu family had already established a family name Kaifu Jianya and became a member of the martial arts family. Even if they could not be on par with the Eight Pillar Kingdom, they would not be far from each other.
How could he not understand normal human relationships when he almost became a family? Marriage is a righteous way of human ethics and is also part of the family management. The Xu family is naturally familiar with it. However, as a martial artist and in troubled times, he has no idea of being romantic. The children of the Xu family have always devoted their energy to practicing martial arts and burying muscles and bones, or they just study military techniques to train soldiers, and they don’t care about anything else, and they are too lazy to perfunctory to those noble girls in aristocratic families for unnecessary jokes. Therefore, in front of outsiders, they naturally have a dull name.
In fact, Xu Le was handsome and strong, and the customs of the people in the Shenwu border area were extremely bold and powerful. Women were much bolder than those in the mainland. Xu Gan was also afraid that his grandson would cause trouble on the woman, so he taught him early to avoid making mistakes. Yang Guang's words began, and he understood his intention, but he didn't expect that Yang Guang, as an emperor, would take the initiative to propose marriage. He didn't expect that the target of the proposal was actually his powerful general under Li Yuan.
Yang Guang's words cannot be miscalculated. Even if the Xu family has not become a noble family, they are still people who step into the threshold of aristocratic families with one foot, which is quite different from ordinary military generals. When talking about the military achievements and past of their ancestors, they can be intimate with the Yang family, and even have some incense and affection. This kind of affection has no effect on the battlefield, but when discussing marriage, they can raise friendships to help. When aristocratic families marry each other, they will also mention that the friendship between ancestors will be closer. They have controlled China for hundreds of years, so how can the people not be affected? Even the imperial family cannot be spared from the common people.
The marriage between the Eight Pillars is to use this method as a bond to consolidate the relationship between each other. Even if a family loses power temporarily, it can still be relied on this incense relationship. If it were someone else, he would naturally agree happily after hearing this letter, even if they have a hostile position, it doesn’t matter. After all, the kinship relationship between Li Yuan and Yang Guang cannot be left. If he becomes Yang Guang’s son-in-law, he will also become Li Yuan’s relatives, and he will be able to gain care in this relationship in the future.
No matter how Li Yuan thinks of Yang Guang, he still under the banner of the Great Sui Dynasty, so he cannot be too harsh. Even if Li Yuan completely raises the anti-bank in the future, he will not kill the Yang family at will. After all, the Eight Pillars Kingdoms are intricately connected, and many of Li Yuan's relatives and subordinates are also Yang Guang's relatives. If he wants to be punished for marrying Yang Guang's daughter, what should others think? How can Li Yuan's kind reputation be preserved?
Therefore, if Xu Le deserves to marry, he will not be punished, but will be reused. The speed of establishing a family member will be several times faster than normal accumulation of merit.
Even if you have to take some risks, it is worth it for this Yang family emperor. Her appearance, temperament, and background are impeccable, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a fairy. If it were in peace, such a woman would be a good match that a man could only meet in his dreams. In the current chaotic times, this woman would be enough to be called the beauty who would harm the country and the people!
Thanks to her journey south and staying in the mysterious building for a long time, she never met anyone else. Otherwise, she would have caused many troubles based on her appearance, and many men would bleed and even die. Xu Le believed that as long as she was willing, she would make her brothers and feet turn against each other and become enemies, and she might face each other with her hands and feet on the spot for many years.
It is the wish of countless men to marry such a beautiful woman. However, this does not include him Xu Le! It is not that Xu Le has any hostility to this woman, but that the hidden mechanism behind this marriage made him dissatisfied and simply refused. Yang Guang was willing to marry his beloved daughter and would not have nothing to ask for. In Xu Le's view, it was precisely because of his defeat and his great reputation that Yang Guang was willing to recruit himself as the East Side.
Apart from Yang Guang's own obsession with generals, the most important point is the current situation in the city. The Xiaoguo army is full of brave and cruel people. Yang Guang lacks food and is lazy in the directors, so he has raised this team too arrogantly, and even if he wants to restrain his team, it is not easy for him to restrain his team.
Come and punish, brave generals like Chengji are the target of military generals obeying. Although Yang Guang has heroes like Shen Guang, he has little prestige in the Xiaoguo army, and his martial arts skills are not as good as Chengji and others. They cannot stabilize the morale of the army and control the troops. Even if Yang Guang tried to solve the food and supplies for the Xiaoguo army, he might not be able to completely obey the orders.
In fact, the Xiaoguo Army is only a short distance away from being out of control, and it is all about the way to prevent accidents from happening. However, once Yang Guang wants to use martial arts against Jiangnan and completely give up the idea of returning to Guanzhong, what measures will the Guanzhong soldiers in the army and the Guanlong children in the court take to deal with it is a major event that Yang Guang has to consider. Even if he doesn't say it, he is probably not sure. This beast created by him has now been out of control of his master and may retaliate at any time.
If you want to suppress these people, apart from sufficient food and grass supply, you must have an unparalleled tiger general in your hands and let the Xiaoguo army obey orders. You are the one selected by Yang Guang. If you defeat the Jinji, you will be defeated. The two major martial artists in the Xiaoguo army are defeated. No matter how important officials in the temple view this fight, you will be a legendary hero for the Xiaoguo army. If you become Yang Guang's son-in-law, these people will be more awe of the emperor. Yang Guang can use other means to gradually regain military power and let the Xiaoguo army be in control.
He is very calculating!
This calculation is not wrong, but it’s a pity that I don’t like it. If I want to build a family and achieve great things, I will make a lot of martial arts. Is it a real man to cling to the powerful with my in-laws? Besides, if I really become Yang Guang’s son-in-law, Li Shimin will definitely bear open and secret shots from Jiancheng. Even if everyone doesn’t say anything on the surface, there will be no less slander or discord in secret. Yu Erlang said that life would definitely be difficult. If he wants to achieve the great cause of the emperor and seize the dragon throne from Jiancheng, his hope would be even more slim.
No matter for the sake of the righteousness of a friend or for his own dignity, he could not agree to this marriage. No matter how outstanding the princess was, she would never nod. As for whether Yang Guang would be angry and overthrew the previous case after such a decisive reaction, he was not cared about now.
Yang Guang was slightly stunned, and he never expected Xu Le to react like this. He looked at Xu Le incrediblely and asked, "What? You have already gotten engaged in Chang'an?"
"No!"
"Is my daughter not as good as a Hu Ji who is covered in fishy and stinking swords? You are willing to go to Xiaoguo's military camp for Hu, but because you are worried about angering Li Shude, you dare not marry my daughter?"
"This matter has nothing to do with others, but a decision is made by one's own family. Now that the lord's great cause has not been achieved, Xu, as a military man, should charge forward and build achievements. How can he care about his children's private affairs? Moreover, my Xu family members rely on real talents and real knowledge to make a living, and they do not have to rely on anyone to take care of him, and they never thought about who to cling to!"
Yang Guang was not as furious as Xu Le thought, but instead looked solemn and said to himself: "It's really like... It's really like... It's really worthy of being the descendant of Wei Langjun, and the father and son are really exactly the same." Then he asked Xu Le: "As you said, you just don't want to be distracted by your children's love, don't you hate Er Niang?"
"I have only met her twice before and after, so naturally I can't talk about disgust. However, regardless of whether she hates her or not, Xu will not be able to do so for the son-in-law of the Yang family. The Supreme Emperor would put away this thought and find another son-in-law for the Emperor's Princess."
Yang Guang smiled: "Do you know how many young people in Jiangdu City want to marry Erniang? Looking at the world, how many people want to be my son-in-law? You just want to give up such a good marriage just to be loyal to Li Yuan. It's really foolish! You are loyal to Li Yuan, but you don't know that Li Yuan treats you..." Before Xu Le turned against you, Yang Guang kept silent and waved his hand:
"Forget it, it's useless to say this matter. Just wait for you to ask slowly. In short, don't refuse this matter in a hurry, and I won't force you to agree. But you can't leave Jiangdu now, otherwise... I will immediately cross the river and join forces with the Wagang Army to attack Li Yuan! What you plan to do will ruin the lord's affairs, and no matter how you look at it, it is not considered a loyal and kind-hearted."
Xu Le changed color, but Yang Guang was proud. He raised his right hand and gestured to sway his head on his neck and beheaded: "You don't have to scare me. There are no outsiders here. It's easy to take my life with your ability, but what's the use? Can you kill me make your plan successful? I have been fighting in a young army and have fought in the chaos. How could I be a greedy person who is afraid of death? If I want to kill him, I guarantee that I will not even frown. Who should cut off my head? If you are a hero like you, it will be a good destination."
While speaking, Yang Guang walked out of the woods, walked over to Xu Le without any stop, and was not wary of it, as if he was really ready to die. Looking at him, Xu Le didn't dare to take action, so he had to watch Yang Guang walk past him and walk out of the woods.
Shortly after Yang Guang walked out of the woods, Xu Le heard the sound of chanting the saints outside. Just as he was talking to Yang Guang, there was a big fish on the emperor's hook. However, even though Xu Le was not a child in Jiangnan, it could be seen that this fish was not aware of taking the bait alive, nor could it grow in this small river.
This emperor is competitive and even fishing better than others. It’s a pity that the heroes in the world are not fish and shrimps in the water after all, and he cannot be merciless!
