Lin Xiu asked, "Why?"

Zhao Lingyin said angrily: "Why are you so stupid, can't you really see what Xue Ning'er is thinking?"

Lin Xiu pretended to be surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Lingyin gritted her teeth and said: "You are my sister's fiancé, if you are fascinated by Xue Ning'er, what will others think of my sister, do you think Xue Ning'er likes you, she is just using you, she can't even see this, He deserves to be manipulated by others."

During this wave, Lingyin thought Lin Xiu was in the basement, but in fact he was in the atmosphere.

Between him and Xue Ning'er, someone is indeed using another person, and someone is indeed being manipulated, but that person is not Lin Xiu.

Don't look at Lin Xiu now saying "Miss Ning'er" and "Miss Ning'er", calling her kindly, after she gets her abilities, hehe...

Of course, this reason cannot be told to Lingyin.

In front of her, Lin Xiu still pretended to be an innocent little virgin who didn't understand anything, and he said unexpectedly: "Ah, no way, why do you think so, we are just good friends, isn't Miss Ning'er People like that..."

Zhao Lingyin's chest heaved unceasingly, and she was about to die of anger from Lin Xiu.

These men only have Xue Ning'er's beauty in their eyes, and they don't know Xue Ning'er's methods at all. Maybe one day they will be sold by her, and they will count the money for her.

She was about to expose Xue Ning'er's true face for Lin Xiu, but suddenly her expression changed and she turned around abruptly. At the same time, the surrounding ground began to freeze rapidly.

When this ice layer encounters most pedestrians, they will automatically avoid it, except for an old beggar.

The ice layer reached his feet in an instant, and then spread upwards. With the effort of two breaths, the old beggar was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Zhao Lingyin guarded Lin Xiu behind her, and said in a deep voice, "This person has been following us since he came out of the School of Different Arts. Stand behind me and don't go far."

When passers-by saw this scene, they scattered in panic, and the old man who was frozen by the spirit sound suddenly had a trace of gold on his body.

The golden color quickly spread all over his body, turning him into a golden man. Afterwards, the golden man moved his hands and feet, and the ice layer outside his body was all shattered.

At this moment, a shopkeeper carrying a load, who was not far behind the old beggar, also suddenly pulled out the pole and stood beside the old man. The pole was actually made of fine steel. There was a voice like a tearing silk, which must have been infused with true energy.

This peddler is obviously a strong martial arts expert.

Zhao Lingyin's complexion changed slightly, and she immediately said to Lin Xiu: "They still have accomplices, you go first!"

As soon as the words fell, a spear of ice had already condensed in her hand, and she confronted those two people at a distance, and the battle was imminent.

This scene seems to be very long, but in fact it only happened in a short moment. After Lin Xiu realized it, she quickly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, they are secret agents sent by His Majesty to protect me, my own people, my own people..."

Zhao Lingyin froze for a moment and asked, "Is what you said true?"

Lin Xiu said helplessly: "Of course it's true. Which assassin dares to assassinate here after eating the bear's heart and leopard's courage?"

This is the main street of Dongcheng, and the imperial palace is just a few hundred meters in front. There is a post at ten steps, and a post at five steps. Even the strongest of the heavens dare not make trouble here, let alone two little assassins?

Almost at the same time as the conflict broke out, a dozen or so armored figures rushed towards us not far away, and the guards patrolling the streets surrounded beggars and shopkeepers, and if they made any movement, they would be killed immediately .

The two immediately took out a sign from their waists and threw it to the chief of the imperial guards. The old beggar said: "The secret investigation department is carrying out its mission. You have nothing to do here. Continue to be on duty."

The chief of the imperial guard carefully examined the token, then stepped forward, offered it with both hands, and said, "I've offended you."

Then, he led his men to leave directly.

The secret investigation department is directly under His Majesty, and they often carry out confidential and urgent missions. They only need to show their identities, and they don't need to tell them the content of the mission.

At this moment, the old beggar stepped forward, looked at Lin Xiu in surprise, and asked, "Boy, how do you know that we are your protectors?"

Lin Xiu smiled and said, "Boss Zhu told me that during this time, there will be secret agents to protect me personally."

The old beggar asked puzzled, "When did you find us?"

Lin Xiudao: "It's your first day in the Lin Mansion."

The old beggar was even more puzzled: "Did you know that we were secret agents on the first day?"

Lin Xiu shook her head and said, "I'm not sure at first, but the pancakes made by this spy are really, really special and have to be doubted, so..."

Hearing the words, the old beggar looked sullen, looked at the peddler, and said, "I asked you to change your identity, but if you didn't change, you would be discovered by others on the first day. It's really embarrassing to the spy!"

"You don't have to be ashamed, you are not being followed by someone and told you not to get so close, you say you have a sense of proportion, you have a sense of ass!"

……

The two quarreled in the street, Lin Xiu and Zhao Lingyin ignored them and continued walking towards the Lin residence.

On the way, Lin Xiu asked curiously, "Lingyin, how did you conjure that gun just now?"

I have to say that the way she conjured up an ice spear out of thin air just now is very handsome, and Lin Xiu also wants to learn it.

Zhao Lingyin glanced at him, and said: "Using Bing Ning as a weapon requires a high level of ability control. You can learn it slowly when you awaken again, and I will teach you when the time comes."

Back in the Lin Mansion, Uncle Ping'an and his wife were pleasantly surprised by Lingyin's arrival.

After some courtesies, Zhou Yun was silent for a moment, and said to Lingyin: "Lingyin, have your parents returned to the capital?"

Zhao Lingyin nodded and said, "I came back with them this morning."

Uncle Ping'an and his wife looked at each other, and Zhou Yun continued, "My father Lin Xiu and I are going to pay a visit to the Zhao Mansion today. When Lingyin returns to the mansion, please let your parents know."

Zhao Lingyin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell them now."

After Lingyin left, Lin looked at Uncle Ping'an and his wife and asked, "Father, mother, are you going to the Zhao family to divorce?"

Zhou Yun nodded and said: "During this period, your father and I have considered for a long time. Whether it is the reputation of the Lin family or the Zhao family, in the hearts of parents, they are not as important as your safety. I ask you to achieve something, as long as you live a safe and happy life."

A warm current surged in Lin Xiu's heart, and she asked with a smile, "Shall I go with you?"

Zhou Yun shook his head and said, "It's fine for me to go with your father. You can stay at home. It's not easy for you juniors to come forward for such things."

Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "I'd better go with you. After all, I'm the reason for the divorce. It's more convincing for me to go with you."

The two thought about it for a while, and felt that what Lin Xiu said was also reasonable. About half an hour later, the family of three got into the carriage and headed towards the Zhao Mansion.

Zhao's Mansion is a first-class Marquis's Mansion, and its location is also in Dongcheng, but it is some distance from Lin's Mansion.

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Zhao Mansion. After Sun Dali asked the porter to inform him, several figures greeted him from the mansion soon after.

Lin Xiu knew Lingyin's father, but it was the first time he saw the woman next to him. She must be Lingyin's mother. When she was young, she was also an out-and-out beauty.

Of course, Mrs. Zhao is also very beautiful now, but she is a kind of gentle and virtuous beauty. Compared with Mrs. Zhao's gentleness, Lingyin is too cold and arrogant. Just from the first impression, Lin Xiu even doubts whether Lingyin is Zhao Fu picked it up.

Marquis Wu'an and his wife welcomed the family of three enthusiastically. When Lin Xiu walked into the Zhao residence, she found that the residence of the Zhao family was much more grand than the Lin residence. This is the Yiwaihou Mansion, one of the families standing at the pinnacle of Daxia's power.

After entering the main hall, after the guests and hosts are seated, it is natural that some politeness is unavoidable.

After a long time, Zhou Yun took the initiative to turn to the topic, and said to Wu Anhou and his wife: "My husband and wife came to your mansion this time because of the marriage contract between Lin Xiu and Ling Jun."

Marquis Wu An put down his teacup, smiled, and said, "That's right, Lin Xiu and Ling Jun are not young anymore. Our original plan was to get them married as soon as possible after Ling Jun returned to the capital."

Zhou Yun shook his head and said: "Marquis Wu'an misunderstood, Zhao's mansion is now a first-class mansion, and my Lin family has long since fallen, so I really dare not climb high. Why don't we just cancel that engagement?"

Marquis Wu An was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "What is the madam talking about, my Zhao family is not a villain who is following the trend, since I have already made this marriage contract, I will definitely not go back on my word, this point, you can do whatever you want rest assured."

At this time, Pingan Bo Linting finally spoke: "Of course we know the integrity of the Zhao family, but to tell the truth, in the past two months, Xiu'er has been assassinated twice in a row, and she was even more nearly assassinated a few days ago." Lost her life, Miss Lingjun is the girl of heaven, there are countless families that Wang wants to marry Zhao's family, the Lin family really can't afford to offend, if this marriage contract is not cancelled, I don't know if there will be such an assassination How many……"

Hearing the words, Marquis Wu'an straightened his expression, looked at Lin Xiu who was standing aside, and asked, "Assassinate..., how is my nephew?"

Lin Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you Uncle Zhao for your concern. Last time I was lucky, the sword avoided the vital point, and now I'm fine."

Marquis Wu An was silent for a moment, looked up at Uncle Ping'an and his wife, and said, "I can understand the thoughts of parents, but to tell the truth, this marriage is no longer under the control of your two families."

Zhou Yun was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Lin Ting seemed to realize something, his face changed, and he asked, "Could it be..."

Marquis Wu An nodded, and said, "Yes, this is His Majesty's intention. Your Majesty hopes that Lin Xiu and Ling Jun can get married as soon as possible."

Chapter 77

Zhao family.

Madam Ping'an didn't understand Marquis Wu'an's words, and asked, "Why, what does the engagement between the Lin and Zhao families have to do with Your Majesty?"

Marquis Wu An breathed a sigh of relief, and explained: "Because His Majesty does not want Ling Jun to marry other families, the strength and power of those families are too strong. After so many years of hard work by the royal family, the court situation has reached a delicate level. balance, and if Lingjun marries into one of the families, this balance will be broken, which His Majesty does not want to see."

He looked at Madam Ping'an and asked, "Madam thinks that His Majesty will just watch Lingjun marry into a duke's family, or is he a member of the county prince's family, or, which one of his princes?"

Zhou Yun was speechless for a moment.

No matter how unresponsive she was, she still wanted to understand something.

At this time, Uncle Ping'an also gave a wry smile, and said: "The Lin family is just a small family, even if Ling Jun marries in, it will not affect the balance of power in the capital, and the marriage contract between the two families has given His Majesty another sufficient reason. "

Lin Xiu also finally understood.

In the final analysis, what he had lived before was just the life of an ordinary person, at most he was just a rich second generation, and he didn't understand the feudal dynasty and the twists and turns of the balance of power.

But now he understands.

There are many powerful families in Wangdu who want to marry Zhao Lingjun, but there is one person who absolutely does not want to see this kind of result, that is, Emperor Daxia. , Threatening the rule of the king are all things that are not allowed.

Marriage of other dukes is fine, this kind of thing cannot be avoided, and every son of a powerful man cannot be forced to marry a commoner, but Zhao Lingjun is different.

Her ability is too strong and her talent is too terrifying. Her future personal strength, coupled with the power and influence of a certain big family, is capable of changing the Daxia royal family's surname. If she marries a certain big family , Emperor Daxia can still sleep at night?

The Lin family is different.

The family has a single lineage, no power, no power, no power, no military power, no political power, the rise and fall of the family, all depend on the grace of God, it is Zhao Lingjun's ideal husband's family in the heart of Emperor Daxia.

What's more, the two families still have the marriage contract, which can be said to be justified and justified, just as the emperor intended.

Whoever wants to cancel this engagement is against the emperor.

No wonder he plotted against His Majesty and the noble concubine last time. He did not punish Lin Xiu at all. No wonder he immediately sent two masters to secretly protect him after hearing that he was assassinated. It turned out that he did not want Lin Xiu to Something happened to the show.

Now that the matter has come to this point, there is naturally no need to discuss this topic any further.

Although the Zhao family is a first-class marquis, this title was single-handedly promoted by the Emperor Daxia, not by their strength. Their background is incomparable to other families, and naturally they do not have the strength to disobey the emperor's orders.

The Lin family is even less powerful. The rise and fall of the family is a matter of the emperor's words. What can they use to resist the emperor?

The family came with high expectations, but returned disappointed.

Lingyin's parents originally wanted to stay with Lin Xiu and the others for dinner, but Uncle Ping'an and his wife declined politely. After learning the truth of the matter, they were not in the mood to eat at all.

On the carriage home, the two were very depressed, but Lin Xiu's mood didn't change much.

God gave him one more life, gave him heaven-defying magical abilities, and most importantly, gave him a long-awaited warm home, what else is he dissatisfied with?

People need to know how to be content.

Lin Xiu has already realized the true meaning of life.

Life, how can there be smooth sailing and perfect things, since you can't resist, it's better to try to enjoy, since the marriage contract can't be canceled, then forget it.

If Emperor Xia asked him to marry Chen Yuanyuan, that 300-pound, old and ugly woman with special hobbies, Lin Xiu would leave Daxia with her family, and then devote herself to hard work. Take his country, let a hundred old and ugly women humiliate him for a month, in order to avenge this life...

But in fact, what he wanted to marry was Zhao Lingjun, a young and beautiful girl with unfathomable magical ability and extremely high talent.

Not a loss.

Therefore, Lin Xiu took the initiative to comfort Uncle Pingan and his wife and said, "Father, mother, why are you so sad? Your Majesty has already sent experts to protect me secretly, so I don't have to worry about someone assassinating me anymore. In this way, this engagement is a good thing for our family. Miss Zhao is so outstanding, the king wants to marry her man, from Zhao's house to the gate of the city, I picked up such a big deal for nothing, I'm glad it's not too late..."

Uncle Ping'an and his wife thought about it carefully, and felt that what Lin Xiu said made sense.

They went to Zhao's house to withdraw their engagement simply because they were worried about Lin Xiu's safety. As long as this problem was resolved, the family would take advantage of this marriage no matter what.

In the carriage, Lin Xiu stretched out her arms, hugged one of them, and said with a smile: "Actually, this marriage can't be rescinded, I'm secretly happy, I don't know when my wife will come back, I still want to get married soon... "

The melancholy in Zhou Yun's heart had disappeared for a long time because of Lin Xiu's gag. She stretched out her finger and nodded on Lin Xiu's forehead, and said, "That's right. Our Lin family is the blessing you cultivated in eight lifetimes..."

……

After returning to the Lin Mansion, after separating from her parents, and coming to her own room, the smile on Lin Xiu's face gradually disappeared, and she sighed softly.

In his heart, marriage is actually sacred and solemn.

The marriage he understands is two men and women who love each other. Under the attraction of love, they are ready to join hands with each other for a lifetime. It is not about family reputation, let alone political considerations.

Lin Xiu had never met such a person in her previous life, and it seemed that she would never meet such a person in this life either.

Before he crossed over, the life of Uncle Ping'an's son had already been arranged. He wanted to change it, but he was powerless.

Lin Xiu's mind was in a mess, she walked to the bed and fell asleep.

After a good night's sleep, Lin Xiu walked out of the room full of energy.

If life cannot be resisted, then try to enjoy it. This is his life principle. Instead of entangled in something that cannot be changed, it is better to learn to adapt in advance.

In case the eldest lady of the Zhao family is knowledgeable, understanding, considerate, caring, and has a harmonious and happy married life in addition to her extraordinary talents, he has nothing to complain about.

If he can be like his parents in this life, then marriage is not a terrible thing for him.
