Chapter 65 The Grand Tutor's Return
Xiao Qing was causing trouble both openly and secretly in Nanhua Palace, while the Grand Tutor was drinking tea, admiring flowers, and chatting in Beidu.
Putting aside Gerhard's identity and what he did to the Great Xiao, he could actually be considered a very good chatterbox.
Although he grew up on the grasslands, he wandered around in his youth, gaining extensive knowledge and experience. He also went deep into the lives of ordinary people in Da Xiao many times, and eventually won the heart of a gentle and beautiful young lady from a prominent family and brought her back to the grasslands.
Originally, Ge Haier planned to meet Fu Mingyi, who was known as the "Soul of the Fu Family," to see what kind of extraordinary person he was. Why was there no legend about him in the martial arts world, yet his name was always in the martial arts world?
Upon seeing him, he was immediately struck by his outstanding appearance and began to feel a strong urge to try it.
Furthermore, when he brought the person back, Fu Mingyi was indeed injured, but his elegance and composure remained undiminished; he was calm, collected, and knew how to advance and retreat with grace.
He felt that leaving half the country to Xiao, who was barely surviving and at the mercy of the enemy, was a waste.
Gradually, she began to focus more and more on him.
Therefore, even though a peace treaty between the North and South had been agreed upon, he found every possible reason to keep people here.
Fu Mingyi's weakness is actually quite obvious.
Thinking of this, Gerhard couldn't help but praise his third son in his heart once again.
However, after several days of this back and forth, no matter how much he was in the mood, Fu Mingyi had no intention of chatting with him about all sorts of random things all day long.
That day, Gehair took Fu Mingyi for a stroll through the gardens of Yongxiao Palace, intending to continue to try and persuade him whenever he had the chance.
"The weather is nice today, and you look much better, sir. It's clear that you are still well-suited to this peaceful city. I am truly pleased to see you like this."
But Fu Mingyi smiled and said, "I am fortunate to have received help from the Northern Lord. I have troubled you for many days and I feel ashamed. Now that the peace treaty has been concluded, I should take my leave."
Fu Mingyi spoke bluntly, and Ge Haier didn't react for a moment.
"No rush, no rush. Although the peace treaty has been reached, so many people are leaving; we still need to arrange a proper solution. Besides,"
He said in a mysterious voice, "I heard that Jiangzhou City is under martial law. People inside are not allowed to leave, and people outside are not allowed to enter. Even if it is Mr. Fu, he would need to make preparations before bringing so many people into Jiangzhou."
Although Gehai appeared sincere, the deputy envoy accompanying Fu Mingyi had already cursed him a hundred times in his heart.
Shameless and persistent, if it weren't for these barbarians, why would Jiangzhou be under martial law?
Seeing that Fu Mingyi remained unmoved, Gerhard continued to increase his bets.
"My third son is also aware of this. I didn't know she was his own sister before, otherwise I wouldn't have been so offensive. I apologize to her on behalf of my third son."
He kept a low profile, but his eyes were constantly observing Fu Mingyi's expressions and subtle movements.
"However, my third son is indeed deeply in love with your sister, which is why he was so rude. It's a matter of young people's feelings, and I shouldn't interfere too much. I've sent people to urge him several times, and he should be back by now. I'm not an unreasonable person. You should look at your sister, and I'll teach that brat a lesson before making any further plans. What do you say?"
Ge Haier thought to himself, "This Fu Mingyi is really good at keeping his composure."
If it weren't for the fact that Consort Ming was indeed his own sister, and that the two were said to have grown up together and had a very close relationship, he would have really thought that Fu Mingyi's indifference and apathy during this period of time were because he didn't care about his own sister's fate.
There was really no reason to delay any longer, and Nan Ding showed no intention of compromising at all, so he had no choice but to show his utmost sincerity.
And what he said wasn't entirely false. To be honest, he did have the intention of a marriage alliance.
The Xiao Dynasty was in turmoil, but the Fu family survived and grew stronger through a century of trials. Even when the Northern Alliance advanced south, the Fu family did not seem to suffer any real damage. Now, only an empty shell remains in Yizhou, and the rest have probably been quietly moved away.
Therefore, Fu Mingyi, who is known as the "soul of the Fu family," is not someone who would remain subservient to others for long.
If he cannot be used by me today, he will surely become a major threat to Beiming in the future.
Thinking of this, a dark yet sharp glint flashed deep in Ghehr's eyes.
He thought that now that things had come to this point, Fu Mingyi should at least express his opinion.
Unexpectedly, the other party simply smiled faintly, "Now that the peace treaty has been concluded and the North and South are living together, although the timing of the young man's feelings may be unfortunate, it may not necessarily lead to a bad outcome. Although my elder sister is stubborn, if the Third Prince is fond of her and treats her sincerely, I believe no woman would refuse such feelings. The Northern Lord need not be too harsh on the Third Prince."
He paused for a moment, then said, "As for the meeting, Mingyi is truly limited by his duties and cannot do as he pleases. Please forgive me, Lord Bei. All matters have been arranged. Mingyi has come here to bid farewell to Lord Bei."
Gerhard still had his pride; having said all that, he couldn't force anyone to stay and make a fool of himself in front of the world.
So he smiled and expressed his reluctance, hinting that the door to the North would always be open to Fu Mingyi, before reluctantly agreeing to let him go.
Fu Mingyi bid farewell with impeccable manners, seemingly treating Gehaier as an equal to the Emperor of Da Xiao from beginning to end, without showing any contempt for the Northern Barbarians or any hostility or resistance towards the invaders.
This was something that both pleased and greatly alarmed Ghehr.
Homon approached silently. "Father, Fu Mingyi is stubborn and won't listen to reason. He's not at our disposal. Perhaps..." He made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes cold as a snake.
Gehr shook his head. “No need to rush.” He thought for a moment. “First, send a letter over there, telling them the time and route Fu Mingyi set off. Then, have someone keep an eye on things and secretly rescue him if things go wrong.”
Homon frowned. "Father, this is like letting a tiger return to the mountains. The young emperor can't control him; what if he rebels..."
Ghair laughed, “Eagles always have to go through hardships before they can soar through the sky. If he really rebels, I’d like to meet him and see if he, with only half of the Great Xiao still standing, really has the ability to turn the tide.”
Homon still didn't think it was good.
"That woman..."
Gehair glanced at him. "You, Father knows you're the most loyal warrior of Beiming, but Murdan is your brother. You should also pay more attention to his life. Fu Mingyi's sister is an exceptionally outstanding young lady; she's more than capable of being Murdan's queen..."
Gheir seemed to have a sudden whim, "Yes, that's good. Homon, you go and write to your brother. He doesn't have a proper wife yet, so you and your two brothers, Tare, should help him find one. He'll be back soon. Let's have the wedding in Peace City this time."
Thinking about it, he smiled again, "Such good news should be sent to Fu Mingyi as quickly as possible, and it should also be posted publicly so that the whole world knows."
We must also let the Fu family and the young emperor in the south know.
