Chapter 276 Departure
Tang arrived at Shousong Hall and nodded to Madam Yuan and Liu. Then, she smiled and said to Matchmaker Liu, "Thank you for your hard work, Bingren. I'll leave my daughter's marriage to you!"
When Matchmaker Liu heard this, she knew it was an agreement, and she immediately smiled and said, "Oh, that's great! In that case, I'll go back and report. I'd like to congratulate Madam Yuan, Madam Yuan, and Madam Cui from here. Congratulations on another happy event in your family!"
Upon learning that Cui Ruxu had agreed to the marriage proposal, the elder lady was delighted and said to matchmaker Liu with a smile, "Thank you, Iceman, for your kind words!"
Everything that happened after that was a natural progression!
The two parties exchanged engagement letters and compared their horoscopes. The man sent an engagement gift, and Cui Ruxu gave him a sachet embroidered by herself in return, which marked the engagement.
During this period, Zheng Xun secretly came to Yuan Mansion at night and met with Cui Ruxu on purpose. Cui Ruxu was shocked to see Zheng Xun, who was no longer the same as before, but later she felt relieved when she learned that the person was Zheng Xun.
"Xu'er, don't you ask me why I am like this?" Zheng Xun asked.
Cui Ruxu smiled and shook her head: "As long as that person is you!"
Zheng Xun then took Cui Ruxu into his arms: "Xu'er, when we get married, I will slowly tell you!"
"good!"
Cui Ruxu got engaged, and the happiest people were Yuan Ziyu and Cui Ruxun!
The two of them found Cui Ruxu and brought her to Wuyou Pavilion. Yuan Ziyu specially asked Haziya to come back and prepare a table of frontier dishes. The three girls celebrated well!
The assassination of Xuanyuan Che did not end there. Emperor Wen of Qi was angry that Youye Tower challenged the royal majesty and made up his mind to destroy Youye Tower. After determining the specific location of Youye Tower, he ordered Huo Xifei to lead people to eliminate Youye Tower.
This decision surprised Yuan Ziyu!
She clearly remembered that in her previous life, the imperial court had also wanted to wipe out Youye Tower. However, the person sent by Emperor Wen of Qi was not Huo Xifei, but another young military general. It was said that the general had great martial arts skills and won the top prize in the martial arts examination in the first year.
However, the annihilation of Youye Tower in the previous life was not smooth. It can be said that the entire army was wiped out and no one survived.
Yuan Ziyu was worried. The leader in this life had changed to Huo Xifei, and she couldn't feel at ease no matter what.
"Brother Xi!" Yuan Ziyu had Huo Daxun find Huo Xi and fly him to Wuyou Pavilion: "Are you going to wipe out Youye Tower?"
"Yeah!" Huo Xifei nodded: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
"I want to go with you!" Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly.
Huo Xifei said, "No, this trip is full of men, it's not convenient for a girl like you!"
"No, I want to go with you!" Yuan Ziyu was anxious, and subconsciously, she felt that she must go with them.
"But..." Huo Xifei was about to retort when Yuan Ziyu interrupted him, "I don't care. I must go. If you don't agree, I will quietly leave the house and follow you!"
"You'er!" Huo Xifei called out softly with some helplessness.
"Brother Xi, just promise me that I will dress up as a man and promise not to cause you any trouble. Just let me go!" Yuan Ziyu simply hugged Huo Xifei's arm and shook it.
"Uncle Yuan and Aunt Liu won't agree!" Huo Xifei sighed.
"As long as you agree, I'll talk to my parents!" Yuan Ziyu said hurriedly.
"But You'er, this journey is dangerous!" Huo Xifei frowned and said, "The people in Youye Tower are all desperate criminals, none of them are good people."
"Then I must go even more!" Yuan Ziyu insisted.
Thinking of the ending of the young general in her previous life, Yuan Ziyu couldn't let it go. If she didn't follow him in person, she felt she would go crazy!
"Okay!" Huo Xifei was annoyed by Yuan Ziyou's nagging: "Then you must stay close to me and don't leave me!"
"Sure!" Yuan Ziyu nodded quickly.
This time they were going to wipe out Youye Tower, and because it had to be a secret operation, they didn't make it public. Three days later, Huo Xifei brought Yuan Ziyu and led everyone on the expedition!
During these three days, Yuan Ziyu had to work extremely hard to convince Yuan Qifeng and Liu to agree to let her go with Huo Xifei. For this, Liu was so angry that she ignored Yuan Ziyu for the whole day. She was worried that if Yuan Ziyu went with her, there would be something unexpected. After all, it was not just a sightseeing trip, but real swordplay!
Although Yuan Ziyu felt a little guilty about this, he still insisted on his own opinion. As a result, Yuan Qifeng and Liu couldn't sleep at night and were worried every day in the next few months. When Yuan Ziyu returned home, the couple had really lost weight, which made Yuan Ziyu very distressed. He prepared meals and snacks for them every day and used spring water to recuperate for some time before the couple recovered. Of course, this is all a story for later.
Youye Tower is located in the deep mountains of the southwest. Although it is called a tower, it is actually a large village, which has a sense of occupying the mountain and being the king.
The Youye Tower is located in the mountains with a very dangerous terrain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is why, although the Dali Dynasty has always regarded the Youye Tower as a major threat, it has never been able to eliminate it for so many years.
"Prince!" A deputy general said respectfully to Huo Xifei, "We are still thirty miles away from Lumian Mountain, where Youye Tower is located!"
Huo Xifei thought for a moment, then ordered, "Set up camp right here, and send out scouts to investigate. Remember, don't reveal your whereabouts!"
"yes!"
This time, Yuan Ziyu came out with Huo Xifei, disguised as a man, and served as Huo Xifei's servant. She named herself Pingfeng after Pingshan, which made Huo Xifei very happy.
Once the tents were set up, Pingshan consciously left the tent and stood guard outside.
Yuan Ziyou turned around and saw that only Huo Xifei and he were left in the tent, so he asked, "Brother Xi, did you let Pingshan leave?"
"That kid is self-aware!" Huo Xifei looked at Yuan Ziyu with a smile. Although Huo Xifei didn't want Yuan Ziyu to take the risk with him, he was still willing to be alone with his future wife.
"Be careful or someone will find out!" Yuan Ziyu glared at Huo Xifei.
"No, Pingshan is here!" Huo Xifei had just finished speaking when he heard someone outside the tent talking to Pingshan: "Hey, Pingshan, why are you standing outside the tent? Where's the prince?"
"Deputy General Liu, the prince is resting. If there is nothing important, please come back later!" Pingshan replied with a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing important. I just wanted to ask the prince what the next deployment should be. After all, the location of Youye Tower is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We have never been able to capture it over the years. Everyone is uneasy, so I wanted to ask the prince!" Deputy General Liu said with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Several people responded.
Yuan Ziyu and Huo Xifei looked at each other. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people.
"Come in!" Pingshan was dealing with several deputy generals when he heard Huo Xifei's voice in the tent.
