Female martial arts fanatics only love to fight, while men fight for their lives.

Li Huaiqing is confident that he will have her in his hands one day.

So what if King Youshan falls in love with her? Will he lose?

Would Duke Lou Xiao, who came from a common countryside family, be willing to be with a rude and arrogant mixed-race person?

"I like your confidence, Li Huaiqing. If that's the case, then you can try and see if you can snatch her away." Xiao Zhengdu smiled maliciously, "See if you have the luck to do it."

He watched him stand up, and before leaving, he asked about his health in a hypocritical manner, "Take care, Master Li, and Lord Li, please stay. Your Li family has produced many important officials in the court for generations, so don't let His Majesty down."

Xiao Zhengdu looked around the room he was in. After being cleaned up by His Majesty and the late emperor, Li Huaiqing still had such a foundation in the capital. He stayed in the capital to find hope for his revival.

Your Majesty has not tried to kill him. Li Huaiqing was excellent enough whether he was an official in the court or serving Your Majesty in the palace. Now that he has a relationship with Lou Xiao, could it be that he changed his mind and wanted to enter the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?

Lou Xiao is indeed favored by His Majesty. Just because she comes from the common people, do you think she is easy to control?

It is said that Li Huaiqing has met countless people and is famous for his talent, but it is still not as good as Xiao Zhengdu's first try in the palace. Lou Xiao is not someone who can be fooled so easily.

As he walked out, he thought, that guy can rest assured, Li Huaiqing will not be able to take her down in a short time.

But he wouldn't tell "him", and let that guy worry on his way back, hahahahahaha...

Xiao Zhengdu came inexplicably and left very quickly. Li Yanfan followed him to see him off. Only Li Huaiqing was left lying on the bed, looking at the dark sky outside, as if thinking about something.

"Sir, why did you have to speak to King Youshan like that... He is one of the few princes left by the previous emperor. His Majesty is quite nice to him. It would be bad to offend him."

The servant next to him whispered, "King Youshan is willful. If he wants to do something..."

Li Huaiqing's face was slightly cold, "He has already done it. He came here today just to laugh at me."

Was it a warning to him? Not allowing him to have anything to do with Lou Xiao?

He had insisted on making friends with Ai Ying at that time, not only because he thought he had good skills, but also because he heard him say "weak strength", which showed that he had seen through the assassin's methods.

He had wanted to find him and ask about it when he felt better, to find out who had attacked him, but he didn't expect the murderer to be so impatient to see him.

King Youshan is too arrogant.

The heat in his body only subsided temporarily. Li Huaiqing now needed to lie down and have a good rest, but someone else came. He frowned slightly and felt a little tired, but he finally calmed down.

"Zi Yan! Why didn't you go to the tea party today? I waited for you for a long time, and then I heard from the servant that you were sick!"

Qu Shubai walked in with a threatening voice, sat down beside his bed unceremoniously, and suddenly whispered, "I just saw the Minister of Revenue. Is she looking for you for something? If it's not convenient, I'll come back to see you another day."

Li Huaiqing sighed slightly. What's the point of saying these things when people are here?

He comforted her, "I just feel a little unwell, and the Minister just stopped by to see me."

Qu Shubai didn't show any expression. He just felt that Li Huaiqing did not look very well. He felt a little embarrassed for coming here empty-handed without any preparation.

"I rushed over before the tea party was over. As long as you are fine, Ziyan, take care of yourself and I won't bother you anymore!" He was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something and ran over to gossip in a low voice.

"Hey, I just heard a piece of news that the great general of Beimo will also return to the capital to celebrate His Majesty's birthday this time!"

Is Wu'an Hou Lu Huan finally coming back?

"Where did you hear the news? How can you know the whereabouts of Marquis Wu'an at will?" Li Huaiqing asked in doubt, but actually he believed what he said.

When Your Majesty was trying to seize the throne, Marquis Wu'an remained silent, unwilling to take sides, and refused to change his tune. No one could win him over.

He just did his duty, guarding the border in the Northern Desert and repelling the occasional invasions by foreign tribes in the Northern Desert.

After His Majesty ascends the throne, he should at least meet the new emperor to show his loyalty.

If we still pretend to be dead at this time, I am afraid that His Majesty will be suspicious and the Lu family will suffer.

"It was spread at the tea party. I don't know who leaked the news. But I guess it was someone from Wu'an Marquis's Mansion who said it themselves. They have a lot of things going on at home."

As soon as Qu Shubai started talking about gossip, he forgot that he was about to leave, and sat down again with his skirt lifted.

"His family elders are trying to arrange a marriage for him. I heard that it's a distant relative of Marquis Wu'an's father's clan. The person hasn't returned yet, but the reputation has been spread first. He won't be able to refuse when the time comes."

Qu Shubai sighed, "Even if he hid in Beimo, he couldn't escape the control of his elders. He had to marry into that family. I don't know why."

At that time, Wu'an Hou was still one of the inconspicuous sons in the mansion. In order to avoid marriage when the previous emperor was alive, he volunteered to go to the northern desert to guard the border.

A young boy has carved out a name for himself, especially the great victory at Hemen Pass five years ago, in which he defeated a nomadic tribe in the northern desert that dared to invade.

The previous emperor conferred him the title of Marquis of Wu'an, but he never returned. It was also from that time that the trade routes in the northern desert were expanded. The previous emperor first allowed the refugees from other ethnic groups outside the Great Wall to enter the territory and become his subjects.

Then, His Majesty ascended the throne and allowed them to enter the Central Plains and even the capital to do business.

When some ethnic minorities living near the border came to the Central Plains, it was no longer surprising for the Central Plains to see faces different from their own.

You have to know that many years ago, even mixed-bloods like King Youshan were extremely rare, but now they are everywhere in Xiyun City in the capital.

How many years has it been since Wu'an Hou returned to the capital? He is not young anymore, does he mean to compromise when he returns this time?

"Is the daughter of that family still waiting for him?" Li Huaiqing knew a lot about the affairs of the capital. "I remember there were rumors two years ago that she had already married."

Qu Shubai had a look on his face that said, "You don't know, do you?" "Well, he married her before. Now he is the Marquis of Wu'an, so of course he can't marry.

They are trying to arrange for a girl to marry him into the mansion, in order to firmly bind him to the family."

People are like this. Parents are afraid that their children will become estranged from them because they remember that they did not treat them well in the past and they are afraid that they will be treated the same way.

If you want to tie down your son who has been away from home for many years, you have to give him a home. Even if he doesn't like it, you can still control him by using filial piety and secular morality.

What kind of family could Wu'an Hou's parents find?

Women in high positions don't dare to marry, and even if they do, they won't listen to them. They just look for someone in the clan who is of the same mind as them, with decent character and appearance.

"He's ready to get married right after he comes back? Is he willing to do that?" Li Huaiqing couldn't understand. As long as the successful Wu'an Marquis could get a good marriage, he would be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital in the future.

You can also get more help in the court.

"I think he might want to get married, but he might not listen to his family." Li Huaiqing guessed, "Either he brings the child back from the Northern Desert himself, or he asks His Majesty to grant the marriage. Either way is better than having someone at home."

His parents didn't understand, but Marquis Wu'an knew very well what was best for him.
