More than ten luxurious carriages had been parked in front of the Xiao family's gate, and there were many majestic soldiers around, each with sharp eyes, as if they looked at everyone around them as an assassin.

Jia Tiannan, dressed in a golden imperial robe, slowly walked out of the carriage, looking at the spacious Xiao family in front of him, and said with emotion:

"I didn't expect that after a few years of separation from Xiao Zhen, I would become his father-in-law. It really feels a bit weird!

We used to eat meat and drink wine together and talk about ideals. It was really happy. It was much more relaxing than reviewing memorials all day long now."

"Your Majesty, that is all in the past. Now that you are the emperor of the Gama Empire, you can no longer be as free and unrestrained as before. You must maintain your dignity!" A woman in a golden phoenix dress got off the carriage. Her every move was so dignified and elegant. She was also the current queen of the Gama Empire.

After a while, Princess Yaoye came out from another carriage, holding the hand of a little girl who looked younger than Qinglin. This was also the empire's little princess Jia Yaoyue.

"Father, can I meet my future husband today?" Yao Ye opened her watery eyes wide with a faint smile on her lips.

Jia Tiannan touched Yaoye's head, picked up the young Yaoyue, and said calmly:

"What's the matter, Ye'er, do you hate this engagement?

If so, please do not hide it from Father. I have a good relationship with Xiao Zhen, so he should not make it too difficult for me. "

When mentioning Xiao Zhen, her future husband, Yao Ye couldn't help blushing, shook her head, and said calmly:

“My daughter is not against this kind of marriage. Winning over Xiao Zhen and the entire Xiao family is very important to our royal family!

For the future of the empire, a little sacrifice is nothing. It is my daughter's honor to be able to contribute to the royal family!"

There was a deep feeling of emotion in Jia Tiannan's eyes. A child as smart and clever as Yao Ye, who had a sense of the overall situation, might be more suitable for this position than himself if he were a boy.

Jia Tiannan stroked Yaoye's little head and said with relief:

"I am very relieved that you can think this way, father. However, Xiao Zhen is not someone who can be easily controlled. You'd better not have too many small thoughts, otherwise you might cause some big trouble!"

Yao Ye nodded obediently, but she did have some thoughts in this regard in her mind. If she could tie Xiao Zhen tightly and make him her helper, perhaps she could fulfill that future dream.

"Your Majesty's personal visit really makes this old minister extremely terrified!"

The one who went out to greet them was Xiao Lin, the head of the family, followed by several elders. Of course, the important figure Xiao Zhen was also among them.

As a Dou Wang warrior, although Xiao Lin did not hold the position of marshal in the empire like Nalan Jie, he also had the idle position of a general.

Unless there is some major turmoil in the empire, Xiao Lin doesn't have to do anything. He just needs to stay at home and collect his salary without getting into any trouble. This is how the royal family deals with strong people in the country.

Almost everyone in the Gama Empire, even some people within the Yunlan Sect, hold honorary positions in the empire, but they certainly don't get paid much.

Jia Tiannan walked up to Xiao Lin and said with a gentle smile, "Old General, why bother being so polite? I have never visited you since I ascended the throne. It is I who should apologize!"

Xiao Lin just smiled slightly, pointed his arm at the door behind him, and said with a smile:

"It's not a good idea to stay outside all the time. Let's go inside and talk first, Your Majesty, please!"

Jia Tiannan also nodded with a smile, then walked in front with Xiao Lin, and the others followed behind, which also demonstrated their status.

As Xiao Zhen was walking, he suddenly felt like someone was staring at him. He turned around and saw that it was the little girl Yao Ye.

Speaking of Yao Ye, Xiao Zhen had seen her before. At that time, Jia Tiannan was not yet the emperor, and the princess was still a baby. Xiao Zhen even held her in his arms.

Soon everyone arrived at the Xiao family's hall. Jia Tiannan, the emperor, and Xiao Lin, the head of the family, sat on the main seats, one on the left and one on the right.

Xiao Zhen was sitting relatively close to the front, next to the great elder Xiao Feng. As for the other side? I don't know if someone deliberately arranged it, it was his young fiancée Jia Yaoye.

Jia Tiannan just sipped a cup of tea and looked at Xiao Lin beside him, and said with emotion:

"Old General Xiao Lin is truly amazing. The huge Xiao family is managed in perfect order!

Over the years, the Xiao family has reportedly gained several Dou Ling masters, and even produced a genius like Xiao Zhen. The family is so prosperous that even the royal family is envious!"

Xiao Lin quickly shook his head. He didn't expect that the new emperor, who had only been in power for a few years, would be so good at taking pictures. He was now feeling a little flattered.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The entire empire is under the rule of the royal family, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. How can the small achievements of my Xiao family be compared with that?"

Watching these two guys promoting each other's business, Xiao Zhen felt very disdainful in his heart, especially when it came to the Xiao family's progress, which was nothing.

Think about the Xiao family in the past. No, to be more precise, it was the Xiao clan. During its peak period, there were some Dou Di powerful people.

Even a thousand years ago, there was the strongest man on the continent, the top Fighting Saint Xiao Xuan.

At that time, the Xiao clan was also in great glory. Except for the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan, which also had Nine-Star Douluo, and the mysterious Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, they ignored the others. If they saw someone they disliked, they would go up and give the person a couple of slaps, so that the other person would remember it and know how to write the word "Xiao".

After talking nonsense for a while, Jia Tiannan finally got to the point. He said slowly:

"Old General, the reason I came here this time is related to my daughter's engagement!"

Upon hearing this, almost everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Zhen, making him feel as if he was pricked by countless needles and his whole body was uncomfortable!

Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes and asked, "I wonder what the problem is with the engagement that requires Your Majesty to come here in person!"

Jia Tiannan tapped the table with his fingers, thought about the wording, and then continued:

"It's nothing, actually. It's just that when we were getting engaged, Brother Xiao Zhen..."

Before Jia Tiannan could finish his words, he saw his queen shaking her head, reminding him to be careful with his words, as their relationship was no longer the same as before.

"Cough cough cough..."

Jia Tiannan pretended to cough a few times and said, "Master Xiao Zhen was not at home at the time. Now my royal family wants to continue to confirm whether both parties are willing and whether there is any rejection."

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The marriage has been settled. My Xiao family will never cheat. As long as I am still the head of the family, I have the final say in this family!" Xiao Lin began his domineering declaration on the spot, and then looked at Xiao Zhen with a serious face.

Xiao Zhen's eyelids twitched. What was his father trying to do? How should he answer? Should he say: I am the master of my own marriage. If you dare to force me, I will... run away from home!

"Everything is up to my father's arrangements. I am willing to obey your orders!" Xiao Zhen nodded and said lightly.

When Xiao Lin saw this answer, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Your Majesty, look, this kid doesn't have any objections, so it's settled!"

Haha, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes at Xiao Lin, and sneered in his heart: What's the use of opposing it? Are you going to learn from Nalan Yanran and cancel the engagement? Are you kidding me? When it comes to an engagement, it's not me, the Second Young Master Xiao, who will suffer.

Jia Tiannan suddenly stood up and said to everyone, "Everyone, Young Master Xiao Zhen and I have something to say, I hope everyone can make some space."

The Queen of Jiatiannan was winking frantically, but our Emperor pretended not to notice.

Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment before saying calmly, "If Your Majesty and my son have something to discuss, you can go to the backyard. I will order the others to leave and ensure that I will not disturb you two!"

Jia Tiannan cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, General!"
