Swish!
While they were talking, two figures, as if teleporting, walked directly into the hall from the door of the mansion.
Both of them were wearing black robes.
One of them had a thick beard.
In his hand, he held a glowing jade pendant.
If you look closely, you will find that this glowing jade pendant is the lower body of the Pixiu!
Together with the piece in Li Xiuning's hand, it can form a whole piece!
His entire body exudes a masculine aura!
"Zheng Tong!"
Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes flashed as she looked at the person who came.
"General Zheng Tong pays respect to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Zheng Tong saw Li Xiuning at a glance. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately knelt on one knee with his head lowered. The person behind him also knelt down.
What surprised Chen Xuan was that the person following Zheng Tong was also King Wu!
The dignified King of Martial Arts was actually just a follower!
"No need to be polite, just stand up."
Li Xiuning raised her hand and made a gesture to help him up.
Zheng Tong stood up immediately.
The next moment, his eyes were directly locked on Chen Xuan.
"Princess, could this person be the criminal that the Chen clan betrothed you to?"
Zheng Tong spoke in a cold voice.
"You know everything?" Li Xiuning was a little surprised.
But on second thought, with Zheng Tong's ability, it would not be difficult to find out these things.
"How can this be absurd? The people of Da Gan are simply going too far! What right do they have to marry the princess of our Tang country to someone else?"
Zheng Tong was furious, like a volcano that was about to erupt at any time.
Li Xiuning shook her head slightly and said, "Dagan is indeed not qualified."
"Then Princess, I will kill this man right now!"
Zheng Tong revealed his strong murderous intent towards Chen Xuan without any concealment.
Chen Xuan was suddenly startled. Is this guy here with bad intentions?
No wonder he had such murderous intent, it was because he had accumulated a lot of resentment!
If he really wanted to attack me, I would be no match for him and would have no choice but to run away!
"What do you want to do?"
Just as Zheng Tong was about to attack Chen Xuan, Li Xiuning took a step forward, spread her hands, and blocked Chen Xuan directly, "Do you want to kill my husband?"
Zheng Tong was shocked: "Husband?"
"Princess, didn't you marry him out of helplessness? How could you accept him as your husband? The Tang Emperor would not agree to this!"
Li Xiuning's face was solemn, and she said coldly: "I was not forced, but I voluntarily married him. As for my father, I believe he would agree!"
"Impossible! Princess, you absolutely cannot be doing this voluntarily. You must be hiding something!" Zheng Tong simply couldn't believe it.
"I have repeatedly emphasized that I am doing this voluntarily. Do you want me to say it over and over again?"
Li Xiuning's tone turned cold.
That cold look was like an ice knife stabbing into Zheng Tong's heart, making him feel as if it was being cut by a knife.
"From now on, I won't allow you to hurt him in the slightest. Otherwise, I will never reconcile with you!"
Li Xiuning spoke again. She could feel that Zheng Tong's murderous intent towards Chen Xuan not only did not weaken in the slightest, but became even stronger.
Zheng Tong said nothing.
Li Xiuning immediately emphasized: "I am ordering you as the Princess of the Tang Dynasty, do you hear me?"
Zheng Tong gritted his teeth and looked extremely unhappy, but still didn't say anything.
"Are you going to disobey this princess' orders?!"
Li Xiuning's tone was cold and serious.
Although Zheng Tong was a general, he was not granted a title of nobility or appointed as prime minister, nor did he become a king of a different surname in the Tang Dynasty!
Therefore, in terms of status, he is naturally far less noble than the princess!
If he disobeyed the princess's orders, he would be defying the royal authority.
Zheng Tong gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face twitched, as if he was making a final struggle, but he finally relaxed and said in a low voice:
"I obey your orders!"
Seeing him finally lower his head, Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief.
After a pause, she continued, "From now on, he is the prince consort. His orders are equivalent to my orders. You must obey whatever he says!"
These words made Chen Xuan feel strange.
Have you become a royal consort now?
Zheng Tong suddenly looked up and stared at Chen Xuan, feeling very unwilling.
It would be fine if I didn't kill him, but he actually asked me to call him Prince Consort and listen to him?
This is simply outrageous!
"Princess, I am a general of the Tang Kingdom. How can I obey Yu Dagan's orders? It is impossible for me to listen to him!" Zheng Tong was firm in his attitude.
Military generals are sometimes like this, with a single-minded mind.
And what they said does make sense.
Li Xiuning did not make things difficult for him. If she continued to force him, it would be her own fault for not being sensible.
"Okay, then you should listen to me from now on."
At this time, Zheng Tong said coldly: "Princess, even if you regard this man as your consort, the Emperor of Tang may not necessarily recognize this consort!"
The meaning is very clear. Treating Chen Xuan as a son-in-law is only one-sided on Li Xiuning's part.
With her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, Li Xiuning's final marriage can only be decided by the Emperor of Tang.
If the Emperor of Tang does not recognize Chen Xuan, then their engagement is invalid!
"Don't worry about that. My father will definitely recognize him." Li Xiuning said confidently.
"Just him? A criminal exiled to the border by the Chen clan? Such a waste is worthy of the favor of the Tang Emperor?"
Zheng Tong showed a hint of disdain.
In his opinion, if Chen Xuan was of any use, he would not have been exiled so far away by the Chen clan.
Seeing him belittling Chen Xuan like this, Li Xiuning showed a trace of anger on his face, and said dissatisfiedly: "He came to the border on purpose, otherwise, the Chen clan would never have exiled him."
"Oh, is that so?"
Zheng Tong said sarcastically, "So what realm is he at now? A martial artist? Or a warrior? He must not even have reached the realm of a martial artist. If he had reached the realm of a martial artist at this age, he would have a certain status in the Chen clan and would not have been exiled."
"No matter how talented he is, he is only a ninth-level warrior. Princess, oh princess, I really don't know what kind of magic potion he has given you. How can a useless warrior protect you?"
Li Xiuning immediately retorted: "Who told you he is a warrior?"
"Not a warrior? Could it be that he is a martial arts master?"
Zheng Tong was a little surprised, but soon, this surprise turned into disdain.
"Even if he is a martial artist, so what? In today's world, martial artists are as numerous as dogs, and martial artists are everywhere."
"He is just a martial artist, and he was killed at any time. Human life is worthless. There is no way to protect the princess's safety!"
Li Xiuning frowned again. She was very dissatisfied with Zheng Tong's attitude. She said coldly, "Who told you he is a martial artist?"
