The General's Dishonesty (XI): A Punch Through the Wall (Page 1/3)

"Jinnan Marquis, your grandson is quite calm!" The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the young man standing still. His reaction was not very clear. After a long while, he finally laughed loudly.

The old marquis was ashamed: "Your Majesty is too kind."

"Those who survived a great disaster must be blessed." The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch took out the imperial edict from the side. "

Jinnan Marquis's son, a descendant of a loyal and righteous man, has a graceful demeanor, is neither arrogant nor impatient, and is not afraid of danger. He demonstrates the ambition of our Xiting. I grant you three thousand silver coins, five hundred-year-old ginsengs... one thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum... seven taels of blood swallows..."

These are all precious herbs collected in the palace. Jinnan Marquis has no military power and is far away from the court. The emperor's extra comfort is bound to make people think too much. However, the late arrival of the old marquis and the son did not cause dissatisfaction with the emperor. The singing, dancing and acrobatics continued in an orderly manner.

Murong Liuli secretly looked at the Jinnan Marquis's son who took his seat. Sure enough, he was exactly the same as the legend.

She was tall and good-looking, but her expression was dull and her skin was pale. During the banquet, she took out a handkerchief from time to time to cover her mouth and kept coughing. She

was very bored and looked like she was going to die early.

But... after tonight, this marriage contract would no longer be able to do anything to her.

A shrewd and cruel sneer just passed the corner of the girl's mouth, and the man's eyes just moved to her. The

dark pupils on the pale face were like a calm well. Just a glance made Murong Liuli, a special forces soldier in her previous life, feel a chill running from her chest to her throat, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

When she came back to her senses, Young Marquis Xu's eyes had already moved away, and the strange pressure from before suddenly disappeared.

....Is it an illusion?

...

Half an hour later, everyone was drunk and couldn't help but be absent-minded.

"Sir, the prince is missing."

"Sir... Sir--? Sir?" The deputy general reminded him several times, but he saw the general squinting his eyes and not speaking.

Following the line of sight, the deputy general was slightly stunned: "That... is the son of Jinnan Marquis, right? Next to him is Minister Murong!? Earlier, the young marquis fell off the cliff, and the Marquis's Mansion was angry and blamed his fiancée, Miss Murong. Later, the young marquis returned safely... It seems that he and Minister Murong are ready to renegotiate the marriage between the two families... Miss Murong has suffered so much injustice... The betrothal gift must be extraordinary..." "

... When did the son of Jinnan Marquis return?" Before he finished speaking, he heard his master asked a strange question. The

deputy general thought about it for a while: "It's about the same time as the general's return to the court... It's not much different."

"... Who is his fiancée?"

"Over there, the girl in light green clothes who is drinking." The deputy general pointed carefully.
