Chapter 267 Xingluo, can you please stop calling Xie Shian brother?
The emotion in Xie Guanlan's eyes was too cold.
Xie Xiang felt fear for no reason, but when she thought of her identity, she bit her lip and quietly straightened her chest.
She was a daughter of a wealthy family, and all the men in the world were attracted to her. For Xie Guanlan, a prince from a remote area, marrying her was marrying up.
She wanted to let He Yu know that she could still get married even if she left him, and she wanted him to regret it!
So she deliberately questioned He Yu in front of him, "Xie Guanlan, will you marry me?!"
Xie Guanlan didn't even think about it, "No."
Xie Xiang: “…”
After a strange silence, Xie Xiang's pretty face turned even redder, as if all the grievances and humiliations of half a lifetime were concentrated in this moment.
She couldn't bear it any longer and threw herself into Concubine Zhang's arms crying, "Mother!"
Concubine Zhang felt extremely distressed. She patted her back gently and looked at Xie Zhe helplessly, "Your Majesty, you have to make a decision for Xiang'er. Xiang'er is just a little girl. Where will she put her dignity?"
Xie Zhe played with a string of tourmaline Buddhist beads slowly and leisurely.
When she raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Guanlan, there was always a faint smile on her lips.
The royal family values face the most. He can choose not to marry Xiang'er to Xie Guanlan, but Xie Guanlan cannot actively reject Xiang'er, especially after the He family's rejection.
The Buddhist beads collided, making a dangerous crisp sound.
Just as he was about to scold Xie Guanlan, a lazy voice suddenly came, "Why don't you just have a fight?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the people coming were Xie Zan and Wei Ying.
Xie Zan, still casually dressed in his long sleeves, bowed to Xie Zhe and glanced at Xie Guanlan with a smile, "In my humble opinion, Your Majesty and the Crown Prince can each send three men to fight each other. It's a best-of-three match. If Your Majesty wins, the Crown Prince will marry the princess and stay in the capital forever, and I, Xie Zan, will inherit the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Southwestern Troops. If the Crown Prince wins... then it will be as if today's events never happened."
He spoke in a playful tone, as if the transfer of officials was just a child's play.
Xie Shian was the first to object, slamming the table and standing up, saying, "Xie Zan, it's not enough that you betrayed the family, you also want to steal my eldest brother's official position!"
"Hey, Xie Xiaosi?" Xie Zan looked at him with a smile. "You're in the capital too? Why don't you come to me for a drink? I'm very familiar with the capital. I'll take you around tomorrow."
"Shut up! I don't want to go around the capital with someone like you!"
The brothers' quarrel seemed to please Xie Zhe.
He twirled his Buddhist beads one by one. "I think Mr. Xie's suggestion is a good one. Ziheng, do you dare to bet with me?"
Xie Guanlan smiled, "If your Majesty is willing, I will accompany you."
Xie Shian's face was tense. "First round, Xie Zan, do you dare to fight me?!"
Xie Zan sat down, shaking the wine cup in his hand, and chuckled softly, "Xie Xiaosi, don't forget who taught you kung fu. On the duel stage, life and death are irrelevant. You want to fight me? Are you crazy or stupid?"
Xie Zhe looked at the brothers with interest.
He really wanted to see them fight.
He was about to order Xie Zan to come on stage when a powerful voice suddenly rang out:
"Xie Shian, I want to fight you!"
Everyone looked over and saw Wen Rulei appearing out of nowhere, holding a red tasseled spear and appearing on the duel stage with a menacing look.
Xie Zhe: "...Who is he?"
Wei Si said in a delicate voice, "He is my youngest son, named Wen Rulei. When I accompanied you to Jiangnan, he won the top prize in martial arts this year. Why don't you let him try on stage? He wants to share your worries."
Xie Zhe was silent.
He just wanted to see the people in Zhenbei Palace fighting and killing each other.
Wen Rulei's interference is not to relieve the worries, but to add to the trouble.
However, the warm and soft beauty beside him was particularly considerate and gentle.
Wei Si had a very good relationship with him during this period. He felt very comfortable both in their daily interactions and in bed, which gave him an illusion that Wei Si was the most suitable woman for him in the world in terms of her background, character and appearance.
He doesn't want to ruin this relationship for the time being.
He acquiesced to Wen Rulei's appearance.
Wei Si smiled sweetly and lowered her eyes while drinking tea, hiding the dark light in her pupils.
The King of Zhenbei treated her kindly.
She was willing to protect his children.
Wen Xingluo looked up at Xie Shian on the stage and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Fourth brother..."
On the stage, Wen Rulei had just won the title of martial arts champion and was in high spirits. As soon as he came on stage, he waved his red tasseled spear to show off his power to everyone. His eyes passed by Wen Xingluo and he paused to stare at him for a long time.
He pointed at Xie Shian and made an arrogant gesture of wiping his neck towards Wen Xingluo.
What he meant was that he wanted to kill Xie Shian.
Wen Xingluo clenched his hands.
Wen Yueyin had just finished bandaging the wound and sat down beside her, saying quietly, "Little sister, you don't know yet, right? Third Brother has been practicing very hard lately, and his spear skills have improved a lot. I'm afraid Xie Shian will suffer under his hands."
Wen Xingluo ignored her and just focused on the scene.
I thought there would be a fierce fight, but I don’t know if Xie Shi’an was stimulated by Xie Zan, but he beat Wen Rulei to a pulp in just over thirty rounds!
The red tasseled spear in Wen Rulei's hand broke into two pieces. He stepped back in embarrassment and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth.
He clearly remembered that when he and Xie Shian had fought in front of General Li's residence, Xie Shian was not so powerful yet and had only relied on his cleverness to defeat him. Why was it now...
He looked at Xie Shian with a complicated expression, as if he was looking at an insurmountable mountain.
Xie Shian raised his red tasseled spear and pointed it at him impatiently, "I don't care if you're the top scholar in martial arts or literature. Do you think I've just muddled through these past two years?!"
He fought his way out of the border!
He was forced by his elder brother to stay in the military camp all day long to practice shooting. He had suffered more than Wen Rulei had ever tasted!
Wen Rulei swallowed.
The various looks from the audience filled him with fear, and his cheeks felt hot.
He thought that since he won the title of martial arts champion, he could finally embark on the same glorious and prosperous road as in his previous life. He had made up his mind that even if Xingluo resisted him and hated him, he would give Xingluo everything that he had given to Wen Yueyin in his previous life!
He really wanted to repair their brother-sister relationship.
However, Xie Shian appeared again.
He defeated him again and stepped on his face again!
Wen Rulei couldn't help but walk up to Wen Xingluo.
His face was pale and blue, and he spoke in a very low voice, "In this life, the fact that Xie Shian didn't have his legs broken and became a cripple was actually your doing, right?"
Wen Yueyin next to him was startled and also looked at Wen Xingluo.
She had asked this question before, but was denied by Wen Xingluo.
Wen Xingluo was silent.
She couldn't remember any of that.
But if she knew that her fourth brother would be in danger, she would definitely try her best to save him.
So she nodded calmly, "Yes."
Wen Yueyin's face was filled with an indescribable expression. "It's you! Little sister, do you know that you've caused Third Brother to lose a great opportunity?! Originally, everything that belonged to Xie Shian belonged to Third Brother! Originally, when you and I got married, we could have countless Jinwu Guards escort us with great fanfare!"
Wen Rulei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, his voice tinged with hoarseness, "Xingluo, I don't like Xie Shian, I really, really don't like him. Can you please stop calling him brother?"
