"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Xia Yongkang took advantage of the situation and looked at Cao Guan.
"There was indeed an engagement before, but something went wrong now, so the engagement must be considered in the long run." Cao Guan said truthfully.
"If there is a problem, then sit down and talk about it. Why is it so tense?" Xia Yongkang was quite dissatisfied.
"It's not that I don't talk about it, it's that the Cao family doesn't give them face." Shangguan Hong said.
"Marriage is a matter of mutual consent. If you openly lead troops to force a marriage, isn't it an act of banditry?" Concubine Cao Xuan suddenly shouted.
"You're right. Marriage between a man and a woman requires the consent of both parties. If someone doesn't want to marry, you can't force it." Xia Yongkang agreed.
Hearing this, Shangguan Hong couldn't help but frown slightly.
Looking at this posture, the opponent is determined to join the Cao family's team.
"Mr. Governor, what benefits did the Cao family promise you? I am willing to pay ten times." Shangguan Hong said coldly.
"presumptuous!"
Xia Yongkang's face darkened and he shouted: "Shangguan Hong! What do you think of this governor? A corrupt official? Or a corrupt and treacherous minister?!"
"Don't dare, don't dare... General Hong just made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me the governor!" Ma Weiguo quickly smoothed things over.
"Young and energetic! I don't know what to say! Those who lead you, get out!" Xia Yongkang shouted sharply.
I originally planned to save some face for the other party, but I didn't expect him to be so disrespectful.
"General Hong, forget it, let's talk about it later." Ma Weiguo winked wildly.
The two of them combined were not good enough in front of the Governor.
Maybe Shangguan Hong is talented and has a bright future, but now, he is not enough to challenge Xia Yongkang.
"Mr. Governor, do you really want to protect the Cao family?" Shangguan Hong narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right! I've guaranteed the Cao family's fate! If any of you are dissatisfied, just come to me!" Xia Yongkang spoke forcefully.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Cao family was overjoyed.
On the other hand, Shangguan Hong's face became extremely ugly.
He couldn't understand that Xia Yongkang would openly challenge the official family for the sake of the mere Cao family.
Anger is anger, but now, he can only retreat.
A high-ranking official with a heavy army, he really can't afford to offend him now.
But he is confident that within five years, he will be able to become a prince and prime minister, overpowering his opponent!
"My Lord Governor, you have a high official position and I accept it. However, if things don't change, we will see you again later!"
Shangguan Hong snorted coldly and left with a large force.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. Sooner or later, he will trample Xia Yongkang under his feet!
"Mr. Governor, young people are too impulsive. Please don't take it to heart. I'll take my leave now."
After Ma Weiguo saluted, he also walked out quickly.
I have to admit that I hit a brick wall today.
"The Governor is really powerful! With just a few words, he scared Shangguan Hong away!"
"Of course! Is it true that a governor of a province or a high-ranking official in a feudal territory is in vain?"
"I really envy the Cao family for having Governor Xia as their backer."
As soon as Shangguan Hong left, the discussion at the scene became more intense.
Who would have thought that just a birthday banquet would attract so many official giants?
After the two families compete, it can be called a fight between gods.
"Governor Xia, old alliance leader, and Deputy General Wang, thank you all for your help. Your great kindness will be remembered by the Cao family!"
Cao Guan walked forward quickly and saluted the three of them one by one.
If these giants hadn't come forward, the Cao family would have been in disaster today.
"You're welcome, Chief Cao. I came here today mainly to return a favor." Xia Yongkang smiled.
While speaking, he glanced at Lu Chen next to him.
"Return the favor?"
Cao Guan was slightly startled, and he was extremely confused.
Governor Xia is a person who is inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people.
Who in the Cao family has the ability to make such a big shot owe a favor?
"Hehehe... It's a coincidence that I, like Governor Xia, also return favors." Huangfu Longteng stroked his beard and smiled.
"what?"
Cao Guan's eyes widened and he became even more confused.
A governor and a martial arts master.
Who is so awesome that he can make two giants owe favors at the same time?
"Clan Chief Cao, congratulations on getting a good son-in-law. Your Cao family will be blessed in the future." Xia Yongkang said with a meaningful smile.
"son in law?"
Cao Guan's mind was a little overwhelmed.
My two daughters are not married yet, so where can I find a son-in-law?
and many more!
The son-in-law that Governor Xia mentioned could not be Lu Chen, right?
