The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

Chapter 14: The War King with a Rich Heritage

This trip to the capital was because the emperor had arranged a marriage between Miss Yuwen and Prince Zhan.

For the sake of the young lady's reputation, the general has not announced her disappearance to the public over the years and has been searching for her in secret.

The staff of the General's Mansion is simple, and they are all close confidants, so outsiders don't know that the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion has been missing for three whole years.

This arranged marriage can no longer be kept secret.

The general returned to Shengjing this time to ask the emperor to revoke the imperial edict.

However, the emperor had a hot temper and was always wary of the power of the general's mansion. He wanted to let the general retire more than once.

The general wanted to use his authority to find the young lady, but he was slow to respond to the emperor, which made the emperor even more suspicious.

This trip back to Beijing is unpredictable, with more dangers than benefits.

Speaking of the War King Xiao Mingchen, he can also be regarded as a legendary figure of his generation.

In the eyes of the people of the country, he is a god-like existence. No matter his status or appearance, he is the dream lover of thousands of girls.

Moreover, the War King has a mild temper, unlike the fierce and decisive killing on the battlefield. The War King is gentle and treats people very well when he takes off his armor.

He is a good man, and there was a good story among people - if you want to marry, you should marry Xiao Mingchen.

A year ago, the emperor sent Prince Zhan to handle government affairs, but he was assassinated on the way.

The War King was seriously injured, and his old illness from fighting on the battlefield in previous years also recurred. He has been plagued by illness ever since.

From then on, the rumors that one should marry Xiao Mingchen disappeared, and the many girls who stayed near Prince Zhan's mansion every day, blushed and ran away after taking a peek at Prince Zhan, never appeared again.

Today, it seems that the War King's body can no longer hold on.

The result of the divination by the national teacher for the King of War was that happiness could cure the disease.

The object of the wedding was the daughter of the great general who guarded the country - Yuwen Xin.

The imperial teacher only talked about getting married for good luck and said nothing else.

If you ask again, you will get the answer that is unfathomable: “The secret of heaven cannot be revealed.”

The ministers all knew that the King of War might not survive this time, and none of them wanted to marry their daughters off to him and let him become a widow.

After all, my daughter has been taught music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was young, just to marry a good man in the future and build up her own rights.

So the arranged marriage fell on Yuwen Xin, the daughter of a general who had lived in the border for a long time.

"It is true that disaster may come from the sky while you are at home." Even though they were away from the court and no longer under the emperor's nose, they still could not escape.

Ling Yueqing complained while secretly sighing in her heart.

There is nothing to say about the appearance of the King of War, he is the kind of guy who is unique in the world. Whenever he goes out on the street, he is followed by a group of little fans. If it weren't for the strict laws and regulations in ancient times, they would probably chase after him and call him brother.

His combat power was off the charts on the battlefield, and he was elected as one of the war gods of the Kingdom of Li.

In private, he has a gentle personality, treats people mildly and politely, and is praised by everyone.

The most important thing is that he holds a high position and has a large inheritance... oh, no, it's property.

Ling Yueqing's abacus was tinkling.

It must be said that the King of War is indeed a good marriage candidate.

"What a pity, such a huge legacy... What a good prince!!"

But the young lady from the general's mansion is missing, and Ling Yueqing feels very sorry about it.

"Yes, it's such a pity. King Zhan is the patron saint of our Li country, but now he can only rely on drugs to stay alive." Zhu Yu and Ying'er thought that she was feeling sorry for King Zhan's health, and they agreed wholeheartedly.

After saying these words, Ling Yueqing felt a little tired, so she let the two of them leave.

For some reason, she had an indescribable sense of closeness to the General's Mansion. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want anything to happen to the General's Mansion. Maybe it was because there were not many good officials in this dynasty where people were willing to retire at the height of their careers.

Ling Yueqing thought about taking a look at the situation first and then sending a message to Dashun and Ershun in a few days. Anyway, that money was enough for the two of them to spend for a while.

Thinking of this, she fell asleep.

Over at the shabby house, Er Shun came back with a lot of shopping bags. Seeing that the eldest daughter was not there, he thought that she had remembered something and went out to buy things again.

But when it got dark, no one came back.

He was getting more and more anxious as he waited.

Finally, there was a noise outside the door, and Ershun rushed over, "Boss, where have you been? I thought you left us and ran away."

The door opened and it was Dashun who came in.

"What are you howling like a ghost? I can hear it from far away." Dashun supported his tired waist with one hand and held up the food he bought with the other.

"Look what I bought. I earned a few extra coins today and bought a lot of meat to improve the boss's food."

Ershun looked worried, "Brother, I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Good news." Dashun said without any hesitation. They were already so miserable, how bad could the news be?

"Come and see." Ershun looked around and quietly pulled Dashun to the corner.

The obstructions were removed and purses were opened one after another.

Dashun's expression changed from nonchalant to his eyes getting wider.

"My old man, you are not committing robbery, are you? The bad news is that we are wanted, right?"

Dashun's face turned red with anxiety, and he began to stutter. Although they were so poor, they couldn't do anything sneaky.

Seeing his usually calm elder brother showing such an expression, Er Shun hurriedly interrupted him. He was afraid that his elder brother would beat him up if he thought about it further.

"Don't think too much. This is the protection fee and mental damage compensation that the boss asked me to collect."

"What? Speak human language!" Dashun was completely confused.

"It's just... um... it doesn't matter. We won't be caught anyway." Er Shun couldn't explain it, and he forgot to ask the boss what this meant.

Then Ershun and Dashun told the story of the boss's heroic deeds, and Dashun was stunned after hearing it.

He regained his voice in disbelief, "You mean the boss beat up the bully Xue Wang and robbed him of his money?"

"I didn't rob them. I told you they gave it to us willingly! Protection money and mental damages!"

Isn't it all done willingly? The stone can be crushed to pieces just by being squeezed. Who dares to resist?

Dashun looked around but didn't see Ling Yueqing. "Where's the boss?"

Ershun's beaming expression instantly drooped, "This is bad news. When I came back from shopping, the boss was gone."

"Wasn't he captured by Xue Wang?"

"Impossible. No matter how many of them come, they are no match for the boss. Besides, there are no signs of fighting here."

Ershun still has some confidence in this.

The boss’s skills are so great that he can fight many people at once and even crush stones with his bare hands. Let’s ask who else is there!

"Maybe the boss had something urgent to do and left first without informing us. The boss looks like he is not an ordinary person."

My stomach growled in protest. "Let's eat first. Save the good food for the boss."

Dashun and Ershun put the food they bought on the table, including roast chicken, roast duck, pig's trotters, meat buns, meat patties, etc.
