Chapter 243: Becoming Famous
Go away.
The Xie Xuan in front of her gave her every reason to believe that if she left, he would follow suit.
If he really took this to Beirong to exchange for the two saints, it would be like sending the people of Nanling under the iron cavalry, with no chance of recovery.
By then, Nanling would be like fish on the chopping board of the Northern Rong Baishang Kingdom...
How come she didn't see that?
He is a lunatic!
Seeing that she didn't refute, Xie Xuan stood up in an instant, "You say."
She watched as the beast, armed to the teeth by her own hands, was about to break free from its cage and devour its prey.
Su Shengsheng also found it hard to accept.
"If you want a fair trial regarding the Qilin Army, you must not resort to extreme means."
Xie Xuan agreed immediately, "Okay."
He waited patiently for her second condition.
Su Shengsheng looked at him helplessly, "What if the emperor ordered me to forge a battlefield weapon and I don't want to?"
Xie Xuan looked shocked, but for the first time he felt that he was finally close to her heart. "I will never let this happen."
How could Su Shengsheng not know that he really had no intention...
But... I'm afraid all this will eventually get out of control.
Xie Xuan held her shoulders and said, "I swear..."
But before he could utter anything that would harm himself, Su Shengsheng covered his mouth, "I didn't say I didn't believe you."
Xie Xuan grabbed her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, "If it's true, then disobey the order. I still have the golden medal of immunity from death to protect you."
Su Shengsheng knew it too.
But this way, she would only owe him more.
She looked up at him and said, "I wouldn't be a good wife."
Xie Xuan frowned slightly, "Does this have anything to do with you leaving me?"
Su Shengsheng looked at him angrily, but she had to warn him, "What if I don't want to have children at all?"
This was the glory his ancestors had exchanged their lives for, but she would prevent the Xie family from flourishing.
This time, Xie Xuan didn't speak for a long time.
"Just because you don't want to now doesn't mean you won't want to in the future." Xie Xuan finished speaking, and before Su Shengsheng could get angry, he quickly added, "But I can promise that I will never force you."
Most of the three worries that had been hanging in my mind were gone.
Su Shengsheng sighed softly and calmed down.
Xie Xuan leaned over to look at her, his black hair entangled with hers.
"Is it that simple?"
What he wanted to ask more was, was she lying to him again?
But he was afraid that if he asked her, she would lie to him.
Su Shengsheng stared at him coldly, "I don't like you sending people to keep an eye on me, even if it's in the name of protection."
Xie Xuan closed his thin lips, obviously still not believing her.
As they stared at each other, Xie Xuan admitted defeat, "Then you have to give me some guarantees."
Su Shengsheng was a little angry, "What other guarantees do you want?"
He has threatened her like this, why should she run away?
We can't let him sell out all the people in Nanling and flee with the Su family.
Xie Xuan seemed to hear her unfriendly tone, but he became happy instead.
Because the calmer she was, the further she pushed him away.
Her anger at him proved that she really cared about him.
This made Xie Xuan, who had been in a bad mood for days, feel a little relieved.
"If you don't like it, I'll just move them away."
Su Shengsheng glared at him angrily, not wanting to listen to his explanation, and wanted to go back to sleep.
If you want to change a man's inherent arrogance, you will probably have to compete with yourself all your life.
"If Jun Yao goes crazy, I'm afraid she might even kill herself." Xie Xuan watched her turn around and moved closer, his mind no longer on this.
Su Shengsheng ignored him and only hummed, "Do you know her well?"
Xie Xuan paused, looking at her soft profile.
But now, he has experienced her abilities and no longer dares to underestimate her.
She looks weak on the outside, but is actually strong on the inside.
"So, do you think I look like her?" Xie Xuan stared at her.
Su Shengsheng heard this and glanced sideways, "It looks quite similar."
Xie Xuan's face suddenly darkened, "How is it similar?" He felt like a huge rock was falling from his heart.
Su Shengsheng had already closed her eyes sleepily, "They all look quite enchanting..."
After hearing this, Xie Xuan lowered his head in confusion and kissed her cheek.
Skin?
People who came out of the pile of corpses have long been accustomed to the ugliness of the world, so why would they care about this stinky skin?
But... his eyes moved downwards, and his throat moved silently.
"What are you doing?" Su Shengsheng grabbed his hand that was crossing the line.
Xie Xuan felt no guilt at all, "I want to know, was this a dream?"
His hands lingered on her soft waist, and he glanced at her slightly closed brows coldly, "Don't you want to know about Bai Shangguo's affairs?"
"In no mood."
Some sounds of gnashing teeth were heard.
Xie Xuan curled his lips into a smile, and his palm had already grasped her obstructing hand, easily pressing it down on the pillow.
Their eyes met, and for a moment the only sound they could hear was the sound of burning charcoal in the stove.
The two people who should have been on the verge of a fight just looked at each other quietly.
Xie Xuan's eyes were filled with moisture. "I didn't know that people say they cry when they are happy, but it turns out this is what it feels like."
A tear fell on her brow, causing Su Shengsheng, who was slightly stunned, to stop struggling in her heart.
Maybe this is her doom?
No matter what she wants, she keeps pestering him.
No matter how she resisted, she could only watch as fate bound them together.
"What happened to Bai Shangguo?"
"The King of Baishang has passed away, and the Regent and Queen Mother Xia have fallen out, accusing each other of murdering the King."
His words, along with the passionate kiss, continued to sprinkle between her eyebrows, causing her to tremble slightly.
Such a big thing, and yet no news has been released?
"Was it Tuoba Ye who killed him?" Su Shengsheng was a little puzzled.
After all, Mr. Rabbit has the blood of a foreign woman, which is not recognized.
"Who knows?" Xie Xuan said as he walked down the stairs. "Queen Mother Xia invited a wolf into the house. It's not surprising that this happened."
Su Shengsheng, who was annoyed by his staying up late at night, looked at him coldly, "What on earth did you mean by that?"
After Xie Xuan heard that she was completely free of sleepiness, he smiled with satisfaction, "The spies reported that Queen Mother Xia has chosen a son from the royal family for adoption."
Well, Su Shengsheng had to admit that women are naturally insensitive to political power.
She completely missed his point.
“Shengsheng…”
"Um?"
Su Shengsheng, whose mind was full of confusion and distraction, suddenly heard him calling her.
But before she could react, he leaned over...
Two shadows overlapped and changed with the firelight.
…
After three examinations, the results were finally out.
Unlike previous years, the achievements of the tribute students spread throughout Nanling within a day.
You know, even if the top scorer is announced after the palace examination, you may not receive the news within a month.
But this time, relying on the Su family's wireless telegraph, the results of all the tribute students were transmitted back to various prefectures and counties in one day.
When Magistrate Sang heard that five tribute students had emerged from Tianqian Pass, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Five of them!
In previous years, even three people, let alone five, were considered a minority.
Tianqianguan was poor and weak, and had suffered greatly from the ravages of war.
There are many soldiers but few literati, so it is rare for one or two to enter the palace examination.
But this time, there were five of them, countable on one hand.
This is still an understatement. You should know that the young master of the Ji family who was studying in a bookstore also passed the palace examination.
By this calculation, there are six tribute students.
What’s even more surprising is that, except for Young Master Ning, the other four tribute students all came out of Su Shengsheng’s bookshop.
This time the news spread, and as the county with the largest number of tribute students, Yuebi Bookstore also became famous.
