Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 414

Chapter 414 “Winning Honor for the Nation!”

As soon as Li Daozong stepped into the tent where Li Xueyan lived, the air in the tent instantly froze.

After spending a long time with the Li Dao Sect, Qin Mubai felt that this straightforward and heroic prince had always been a wise, open-minded and magnanimous old man. But today, Qin Mubai had seen a powerful aura that was enough to intimidate anyone in the Li Dao Sect!

Seeing her father, Li Xueyan hurriedly stood up. Her face turned pale. She opened her lips and looked at Qin Mubai in panic. She actually forgot to say hello.

Li Daozong narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Tantai sisters beside him. A pair of ruthless sisters who had witnessed many storms in Jianghu felt a chill run down their spines. Without waiting for someone to give the order, they retreated nervously.

When Qin Mubai saw that the atmosphere wasn’t good for Li Daozong, his face changed and he even had a bit of killing intent. He hurriedly walked to the middle of the father and daughter and said, “Your Highness, please sit down. Let’s talk slowly.”

“Get out of the way!” The Li Dao Sect erupted with a battle. Suddenly, it took Qin Mubai away from its body and took a tiger step forward. It slapped Li Xueyan’s face like lightning!

“Pa!” The sound was loud and bright, causing the Tantai sisters outside the tent to be frightened to the point their hearts skipped a beat.

Li Xueyan fell to the ground before she could scream.

“Evil beast! How did my Li Dao Sect give birth to such an evil beast like you!!!”

Roaring like thunder!

“Your Highness, please calm down!” Qin Mubai struggled to stop the furious Li Daoist Sect and subconsciously pulled the saber off his waist and threw it into the corner of the tent.

The current situation really made people worry that Li Daozong truly had the heart to destroy his family with righteousness!

Li Xueyan was slapped to the ground, her hair scattered on the ground. She did not cry nor say anything, but her body trembled slightly.

Li Daozong’s eyes were filled with anger and unbearable anger. His sturdy and upright body trembled violently. Even though Qin Mubai had infinite strength with them, he could barely hold him down.

“This is your reward for the 17 years of nurturing your mother and me?” Li Daozong took out a letter from his bosom and shook it in his hand, “Very good!” Leaving behind a book to go to Tibet, you have to rely on your own strength to stop the war, you are so capable! I’ve been spoiling you ever since I was young, and even your mother scolded me for being too spoiled! But today, he got the reward! You’re so nice! How could my Li Clan ever have such a scum like you, dare to betray the country and treason the enemy! You’ve grown up! ”

Li Xueyan whispered, “I don’t want to betray the country and invest in the enemy …” However, she said very clearly.

“You still dare to reply!” Dao Sect Li’s anger came up again. He stepped forward to kick Li Xueyan and roared angrily, “I, Dao Sect Li, will pretend that I didn’t give birth to a daughter like you! I killed you with one slash of my sword, it’s better than being insulted and scolded for betraying your country. The people of the world and the Li Clan’s ancestors won’t forgive me!”

Qin Mubai struggled to stop the Li Dao Sect.

Li Xueyan lowered her head and whispered, “If father wants to kill, then kill him …” Although daughter is unfilial, willful, and stubborn, her fist is not selfless. She only hopes that there will be two fewer battles and a few fewer deaths … ”

“You still dare to argue!”

“Your Highness! Calm down!-Stop!!!”

Qin Mubai was enraged and shouted loudly. He pushed Li Daozong back a few steps with both of his arms.

Dao Sect Li looked at Qin Mubai in astonishment. “Good boy, you’re so strong!”

“Your Highness, I have offended you.” Qin Mubai cupped his hands and sighed, “Anger and anger won’t solve the problem. Moreover, this is the Zhongjun Camp. You mustn’t break the military rules by making a ruckus. Leading the generals out will also damage His Highness’s reputation.”

Dao Sect Li let out a long sigh of relief and snorted. He nodded and glanced at Li Xueyan, who was still lying on the ground. He gritted his teeth and said, “I will only say this once-if you insist, we will break off our father-daughter relationship and become enemies! If you can leave so ruthlessly, don’t blame me for being such a righteous father!”

“Your Highness, this matter can be discussed later.” Qin Mubai squatted beside Li Xueyan and held her elbows. He could clearly see that her left face was swollen and there were a few clear blood fingerprints on it.

With this slap, Li Daozong would probably be able to knock over a strong man with one palm.

“Princess, why don’t you go rest in my handsome tent first, and wait for His Highness to calm his anger first, then we’ll talk about the rest.” Qin Mubai said softly.

Li Xueyan stared deeply at Qin Mubai, bit her lips and nodded. She stood up.

“Tantai!”

“Yes–”

The two women received orders to enter the tent, glanced at Li Daozong with some confusion, and hurriedly helped Li Xueyan out.

‘”Ah–” Dao Sect Li sighed in a deep and distressed tone.

“Your Highness has always been kind to calves, and he can be called a good example of fatherliness. Today, I am truly surprised!” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and said, “If I had known, I would have hidden the princess.”

“Could it be that she still dares to resent you?” Li Daozong snorted twice and sat down on a chair. He picked up the kettle and poured it into his mouth. Then, he raised his head to the sky and let out a few long sighs, as if he could not breathe enough in his chest.

“Actually, why is Your Highness so troubled? Everyone has been sixteen or seventeen years old, right?” As Qin Mubai poured tea for him, she warned him warmly, “People of this age are often the most rebellious. Moreover, the princess has been very intelligent since childhood. It is understandable that she has drilled into the horns of oxen for a while. After all, she is young and needs the inculcation of His Highness.”

“Still young? When her mother was her age, she was already the mother of two children!” ‘”If I had known that I would have found someone to marry her two years ago, I wouldn’t have caused such a disturbance today. Her mother’s heart would have been broken, and now she would have been in trouble at the Imperial Court! What a sin!” Said Li Daozong.

“Your Highness … Actually, the princess might not change her mind.” Qin Mubai smiled meaningfully.

“What do you want to say?” Dao Sect Li’s eyes became sharp.

“Nothing.” Qin Mubai smiled lightly and said, “After all, is she a little girl? Her mind might not be so stable and tough. If she were to use both hard and soft methods, she might not be able to change her mind.”

“I definitely can’t.” Dao Sect Li waved his hand and said, “If it’s okay, how could she be here today? I stopped her when she was about to petition for a marriage.”

Qin Mubai curled her lips and did not say anything.

Li Daozong frowned and glared at Qin Mubai sullenly, “Thief brat, if you have something to say, why are you making a face?”

“Ah? Haha, no!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “I just suddenly remembered an old saying. It’s called ‘Great Female Bu Zhong Liu’.”

“Indeed, it is the Great Female Bu Zhong Liu!” Dao Sect Li said in frustration, “I have raised her for seventeen years, as if this flesh-and-blood kindness had disappeared overnight!” Actually, it wasn’t necessarily because she disobeyed unfilial and didn’t care about family affection. When this woman grew up, she would one day have to turn her heart towards her husband’s family and become a husband’s family member. A year or two ago, she had heard some anecdotes about Tibet, Zan Pu, Qizong Nongzan, and Qizong Nongzan from somewhere. This stupid child was actually interested in him! –You say, this is abominable, not abominable! “A barbarian man I’ve never met actually surpasses my status in her heart!”

“Hehe!” Qin Mubai wiped his nose and said, “Your Highness, weren’t you the same … who captured the princess back then?”

“How dare you! How dare you tease this king!” Dao Sect Li was so angry and funny that he raised his palm to slap someone.

“Hehe, Your Highness, please calm down!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “As the saying goes, which girl is not pregnant …”

“Where is this’common saying ‘? Is it so obscene?”

“Cough! … Your Highness, don’t interrupt! It is said that which girl is not pregnant with spring. She is sixteen or seventeen years old when her love affair is just beginning. The power of this first love is terrifying and astonishing!” Qin Mubai said, “The princess actually regards Qizong Nongzan as her idol. This sounds rather helpless and indignant to me, but there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s such a ridiculous and unreasonable affair!” Actually, I can tell that when the Duke goes to the plateau, his ideals and aspirations are indeed half, and his personal feelings are also half. “It’s both public and private. After all, the princess is only a mortal embryo.”

Dao Sect Li was stunned. He blinked his eyes a few times and nodded. “Actually, this king has seen it before.” However, he had always cared about her face and did not break it. It was precisely because of this that I was especially furious when I thought of her leaving a book to look for Qizong Nongzan! If she ran away with any man, I might not be so angry! However, that person must be Qizong Nongzan … This king definitely cannot accept this! –If she dares to leave, I dare to exterminate her relatives righteously, and I will do what I say! ”

“Your Highness, there are no outsiders here anymore. Why are you trying to pretend?” Qin Mubai smiled softly and said, “If that slap goes on, His Highness’s heart will hurt even more than the princess’s face. If no one else can see it, I might not be able to pretend to be ignorant when I’m close.”

‘”Ah!” Li Daozong shook his head and sighed, “This is the first time in my life that I’ve hit my own children. Especially Yan’er. Don’t say it’s a beating. She hasn’t scolded me in 17 years. Her mother sometimes scolds me when she gets angry, but I blame her instead. It’s my fault. I’m too spoiled for her …”

“Your Highness, how about this …” Qin Mubai said, “Now that you’re here, she definitely won’t dare to run to the plateau again in front of you. You can bring her back to Lanzhou and try to persuade her. After all, the princess was someone who knew how to read and salute, so she was probably just a muddle-headed person who had drilled into the horns of an ox, unable to overcome the obstacle in her heart. “Your Highness, why don’t you be patient and use both carrot and stick. Slowly, it will make her change her mind.”

“Carrot and cart? Let me scold her again? “To be honest, I was really like a lean head on the scaffold today, so I made this move …” Li Daozong spread out his palm and looked at his hand, shaking his head. “There is a gap between father and daughter, but after all, there is a gap between them. Just a few words, I can’t get to her heart. Helplessly, there are two ways now. “Either you use your fastest speed to flatten Tibet and slaughter that Qizong Nongzan, completely breaking her mind.”

“This is impossible in a short period of time! This will be a long and bitter battle.” Qin Mubai shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Then there’s only a second way.” Li Daozong punched, “Let her get married! With a man and a family, she won’t think nonsense anymore.”

“Good idea.” Qin Mubai nodded in agreement.

“Then it’s you.” Dao Sect Li suddenly said.

“Ah?” Qin Mubai was stunned and looked at Li Daozong with a confused expression.

“Ah, what? Don’t you understand?” Dao Sect Li looked at Qin Mubai with a look of righteousness and anger, “Could it be that my daughter is not worthy of you?”

‘”Ah? Ah?” Qin Mubai’s mouth was wide open, and he couldn’t believe whether to laugh or cry, “Your Highness, don’t laugh!–This isn’t my business!”

“What do you mean!” ‘”Could it be that my daughter is an ugly woman that no one wants?” Li Daozong was infuriated and slammed his hands on the table. “Is she going to give you the stronghold?”

“Of course … no!” Qin Mubai gulped down a mouthful of saliva.

“Could it be that my Jiang Xia Palace isn’t a proper household for your Duke Yi’s Mansion? Could it be that my daughter is a remarried daughter who doesn’t keep her daughter’s pavilion, or that my Li Dao Sect’s notoriety is notoriously disgusting to the people of the world?”

“Neither …”

“Then you can marry her.” Dao Sect Li sat down again and put down his legs, holding a cup of tea.

Qin Mubai looked blankly at Li Daozong’s calm expression on the Diaoyutai Stage, her heart filled with confusion. At the same time, she thought, “Why do I feel like I’ve fallen for a trap?”

“Brat, what are you thinking?”

“Nothing …”

“Then, after the war is over, come to my palace and marry me!”

“Wait, Your Highness!” Qin Mubai hurriedly said, “Your Highness, you know that I’m already married to Gaoyang.”

“Yeah, so what?” ‘”Gaoyang and Yan’er are uncles and sisters. Gaoyang is His Majesty’s daughter. Is she a real princess or a cousin? Is my daughter a fake princess or a cousin? It’s only natural for Gaoyang to be Yan’er’s little sister. It’s not embarrassing.” Li Daozong put the tea cup on the table with an indifferent expression.

“I’ve already been engaged to Wu Meiniang for a lifetime, and she’s even pregnant with my flesh and blood …”

“Mother Wu Mei, even this king respects her. If it weren’t for Gaoyang’s appearance, she would still be His Majesty’s matriarch, and it would be reasonable for Yan’er to follow behind.” Dao Sect Li replied, “Wang Ben, there’s no objection.”

Qin Mubai was speechless.

“Continue?” Dao Sect Li looked at Qin Mubai with a provocative expression.

“There are no more words” Qin Mubai grinned, a smile even uglier than crying.

“To let you marry is not to let you enter the palace to be a eunuch, but to make such an expression is really useless!” ‘”Sanlang, your father and I were brothers in the same robe who died together, and we were like half a son to you. In addition, there are very few men in this world who are worthy of our Yan’er-tell me, if you don’t marry Yan’er, what is the reason of heaven?” Li Daozong smiled and said, “Sanlang, we used to be brothers in the same robe.”

“Heaven forbids this …”

“Not really.” Li Daozong laughed again. “Most importantly, Yan’er likes you. Don’t pretend to be stupid in front of me and say that you don’t know.”

Qin Mubai was speechless again.

“This is a good day and a good place. You have to marry Yan’er.” Li Daozong stood up and slapped Qin Mubai on the shoulder, his head full of mumbling. He said earnestly,

“Putting aside personal matters, do you really tolerate the princess of the Tang Dynasty, this king’s daughter, Yan’er, who admires you so much, marrying that ignorant plateau barbarian of Qizong Nongzan?–Take the initiative first, and then you rob Yan’er! This is not a relationship, a brown marriage, but a matter of national honor and disgrace!”

“Ah?-needn’t be so serious?” Qin Mubai really wanted to cry without tears.

“Stop talking nonsense!–It’s decided! Dafeichuan is still your territory, and everything is up to you.–Now, you will win honor for this daddy!”
