Chapter 220: Your illegitimate daughter with that masked woman?
In the Kefeng courtyard where Xu Ming lives.
Wu Yanhan sat facing Xu Ming.
Shen Shengsheng was in the flower bed in the courtyard, playing in the mud with his butt sticking out.
Although Xu Ming invited Wu Yanhan to sit in his courtyard, Wu Yanhan just said "No" and left.
However, when Xu Ming returned to the courtyard, Wu Yanhan came over on his own initiative.
As for Yu Wenxi and Miao Feng, they were not so tactless as to disturb other people's world of two, so they returned to their own residence.
"Who is this little girl?" Wu Yanhan looked at Shen Shengsheng and asked, "Your illegitimate daughter with that masked woman?"
"Cough, cough, cough." Xu Ming accidentally choked, "What are you talking about? Shengsheng is almost nine years old."
"Hehe." Wu Yanhan turned his head.
Xu Ming: “.”
Xu Ming suspected that Wu Yanhan was still resentful of him for not helping her.
Then again, Wu Yanhan isn't that stingy, right? "Her name is Shen Shengsheng, and she's Shen Sheng's daughter." Xu Ming poured Wu Yanhan a cup of tea.
"Shen Sheng?" Wu Yanhan was stunned for a moment, and soon remembered that when he was on a mission eight years ago, Shen Sheng was the man who controlled the monster and eventually turned into a monster, and was eventually killed by Xu Ming.
"This girl is his daughter? Then why is she following you?" Wu Yanhan became even more confused.
Xu Ming shook his head: "It's a long story. As for the reasons behind it, how Shen Shengsheng was born, etc., I don't know much. I just know that Shen Shengsheng has the blood of a demon beast.
That was when I came out of the Baiwa Secret Realm."
Xu Ming told Wu Yanhan everything that happened in the lava core cave, without hiding anything.
When Wu Yanhan heard that a human actually had the blood of a demon beast, he was even more amazed.
"You told me all this? Is it really okay?" Wu Yanhan asked.
Shen Shengsheng is too special.
If any force knew that a human had the blood of a magical beast and could practice cultivation, they would probably compete for and study Shen Shengsheng.
But Xu Ming told it all unconditionally.
Xu Ming smiled and drank a cup of tea: "Since I told you all these things, it means that I trust you and believe that you will not tell other people about this."
Wu Yanhan: "When did you trust me so much?"
Xu Ming said as a matter of course: "When we went through so many life and death situations together, I already believed in you unconditionally. It can be said that you are one of the people I trust most in this world."
"One of them." Wu Yanhan sneered, "Let me guess, the person you trust the most includes Qin Qingwan from Tianxuan Sect, right?"
Xu Ming: “.”
"Apart from Qin Qingwan, you also trust that masked woman unconditionally, right?" Wu Yanhan continued.
Xu Ming's brows twitched, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
no.
Why are you bringing up something else? "I don't believe the masked woman you mentioned," Xu Ming replied.
"Oh? Why don't you tell me her name now? Aren't you hiding it for her?" Wu Yanhan said.
"What's there to hide?" Xu Ming felt that Wu Yanhan was a bit aggressive today. "The masked woman you mentioned is the Saint of the Black Lotus Sect in the Western Regions. I have a relationship with her because she wanted to kill me, but in the end, for some reason, we worked together to deal with the Hehuan Sect. To be honest, she and I are actually in a relationship of mutual use."
Wu Yanhan: "Just that?"
Xu Ming felt a little guilty: "That's all."
"Ahem." Xu Ming coughed a few times and continued, "Actually, there is another reason why I told you this."
Wu Yanhan: "Oh? Tell me about it."
Xu Ming: "After returning to Wudu, I want to leave Shengsheng in Xuguo Mansion and let mother help take care of her. I also hope you can help out a little."
Wu Yanhan thought about it and shook his head: "If I don't have anything to do, I can agree to you, but I'm afraid I won't be in Wudu in the next few years."
This time it was Xu Ming's turn to be confused: "Why?"
Wu Yanhan looked directly into Xu Ming's eyes: "Suppress the rebellion."
Xu Ming: "Suppress the rebellion?"
Wu Yanhan nodded and said, "In the more than half a year since you left Wudu, a lot of things have happened. The biggest thing is that my father implemented your Enfeoffment Order.
Your method of extending favors is indeed extremely brilliant.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Especially when combined with the improved status of illegitimate sons in Wu State.
Many princes had to accept it even if they didn't want to, and they had to divide their land among their descendants.
But no one is a fool.
The reason why these princes accepted it was that they did not dare to rebel in the first place, and the gentle measure of the Enfeoffment Order did not force them into a corner, so they were unwilling to rebel.
But it was different for those ambitious princes of Wu State.
These princes knew that if the Enfeoffment Order was implemented, their own states would become weaker and weaker within a hundred years, and if they did not implement the Enfeoffment Order, internal conflicts would become increasingly serious.
By then, some illegitimate children will turn to the imperial court.
Therefore, these princes took advantage of the fact that their fiefdoms were strong and powerful and wanted to fight for the throne of the emperor.
There are now more than twenty vassal kings rising up in rebellion, big and small, in the entire Wu Kingdom.
Some vassal kings formed alliances, while others acted alone.
Many generals in the court went to redress the injustice. As the eldest princess of Wu State, how could I sit in the deep palace and wait for death?"
Xu Ming knew what Emperor Wu meant.
War is the best time to build prestige.
It was indeed dangerous for Emperor Wu to let his daughter go to the battlefield to fight, but there must be protectors protecting her in secret.
And if Yan Han can play a significant role in quelling the rebellion this time, he will have a high reputation in the court later.
Moreover, Yan Han has the body of a martial god, and he needs the blood and energy of the battlefield to hone himself. This time of quelling the rebellion is a very rare and good opportunity.
Seeing Xu Ming lowering his head in thought, Wu Yanhan thought that she had rejected him, which made him feel uncomfortable. Wu Yanhan tucked the hair by her ears and said in a more relaxed tone: "But as long as nothing unexpected happens, it shouldn't take too long to quell the rebellion this time. You can stay in Wudu for a while and wait for me to come back."
"Thank you." Xu Ming smiled and turned to look at Shen Shengsheng, "Don't worry, I'll think about it."
"Take your time to think about it. If you need any help, just tell me directly." Wu Yanhan looked directly at Xu Ming, "But before that, I have a question for you."
Xu Ming nodded: "Given our relationship, just ask directly."
"Then I will ask directly, are you here at Tianxuanmen to congratulate or because you miss Qin Qingwan?"
