I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 154 Engagement
Beyond the sky, the sunset valley.

This is the valley where Chu Zhao lived before.

Seven days have passed since I returned from Langyue Blessed Land.

The news that Sect Leader Yue Fengcheng has returned from seclusion to the sect, and that the eldest daughter Yue Yao and the ninth prince of Western Chu, Chu Zhao, will be engaged soon, has spread throughout the entire Tianwai Tian.

Early that morning, Chu Zhao had just come out of the elegant house when a middle-aged man ran over.

"Mr. Chu, congratulations."

The middle-aged man congratulated them and handed over a pair of wild geese. "I know you are busy. These are the wild geese we shot for you yesterday."

Chu Zhao didn’t know what the engagement process was like in ancient times, but he knew the basic three books and six ceremonies as well as sending messages by carrier pigeons.

Originally he was planning to hunt a pair of wild geese today, and then come back to treat Wuxiang's leg injury, but he didn't expect that someone would send the wild geese over instead.

"Thank you, Brother Xu." Chu Zhao thanked him and looked up at the top of the valley.

High up in the valley, Wuxiang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and Yue Fengcheng, who had just returned to the clan, were watching the scene in the valley, and their eyes happened to meet Chu Zhao's.

Yue Fengcheng said happily: "This kid's perception is quite sharp."

"Lord." Wuxiangshi called out, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

"It doesn't hurt to just say it."

Wu Xiang Envoy was silent for a moment, and then said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate for Her Royal Highness the Princess to marry the Ninth Prince of Western Chu. Please reconsider it."

"reason."

"The king still needs to be in seclusion. During his seclusion, the eldest princess will be the leader of Tianwai Tian. If the eldest princess marries the ninth prince, with the ninth prince's ability, when the king comes out of seclusion, I cannot guarantee whether Tianwai Tian will have the surname Yue or Chu."

Wuxiang was very wary of Chu Zhao.

Chu Zhao not only possesses an extraordinary affinity, but also an undeniable leadership temperament.

You know, Chu Zhao has only been in Tianwai Tian for about half a month, and during this time he has been learning the art of Qimen Dunjia from the two Wuzuo envoys. He does not have much free time, but even so, the people in the valley where he lives still treat him with great respect. Even Wufa, Wutan and Wuzuo admire him very much.

Coupled with Chu Zhao's terrifying strength, Wuxiangshi didn't think he could suppress him. He was afraid that after a year or two, Tianwai Tian would have a new master.

“Wu Xiang, does Tianwai Tianzhen respect Yao Er as the most respected one?”

Seven days after returning to the clan, Yuefengcheng, the last emperor of Beique, has fully understood the situation in Tianwaitian.

Today, Tianwai Tian claims to respect his eldest daughter Yueyao as the most respected one, but in fact, respects the Four Venerables, and among the Four Venerables, Wuxiang is the most respected one.

Yue Fengcheng's casual question made Wuxiang's heart tremble. He bowed his head and saluted, saying, "I am guilty. Please punish me, Lord."

"Envoy Wuxiang is loyal to me. Everything he does is for the sake of Tianwaitian and the restoration of his country. What crime has he committed?" Yue Fengcheng said quietly.

In fact, it is precisely because we know that Wuxiang's actions are for the purpose of restoring the country, otherwise Wuxiang would not be still alive.

"During the period when the king was in seclusion, many of his subordinates exceeded their authority and took over his duties, which was disrespectful."

Wu Xiang said as he got off the wheelchair, knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "I beg the Lord to punish me!"

At this moment, two figures appeared behind Yue Fengcheng.

The two looked exactly the same and were dressed the same. They were both Wuzuo Messengers from Tianwai Tian.

"My Lord, my son-in-law wants to see you."

Yue Fengcheng hummed and said with a smile: "Let that boy come over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Zhao, carrying a pair of wild geese, walked over here.

"My son-in-law has met my father-in-law."

Yue Fengcheng was already very satisfied with Chu Zhao as his son-in-law and had the idea of ​​recruiting him as his son-in-law as early as seven years ago.

Now that I know some of Chu Zhao's situation, I am even more satisfied.

Although Chu Zhao now has the family background of Yuelu City and can no longer marry into the Tianwaitian family as he originally wanted, the fact that he has created a family business that is not inferior to or even stronger than Tianwaitian at such a young age is enough to prove his excellence.

Once the two parties get married and their forces are united, the restoration of the country will be just around the corner.

Of course, Yue Fengcheng naturally felt a little regretful that Chu Zhao did not marry into the family, but at the same time he also felt a lot more relieved.

Just like Wuxiang Shi was worried, he was actually also afraid that Tianwai Tian would have the surname Chu in the future.

However, since Chu Zhao is not marrying into the family, this worry does not exist.

As for who will Tianwai Tian pass on the throne to after a hundred years?

Don't forget, he also has a daughter, Yueqing.

What's more, he had already discussed with Chu Zhao that the second boy born by Yueyao would have the surname Yue.

Therefore, Yue Fengcheng was very satisfied with Chu Zhao, his son-in-law, and laughed, "No need to be polite, my dear son-in-law."

After paying respects to Yue Fengcheng, Chu Zhao glanced at the Wu Xiang Envoy who was kneeling on the ground and bowing his head. He said with a smile, "Why is Wu Xiang Envoy kneeling on the ground? It's freezing cold, and Wu Xiang Envoy's legs are not good to begin with. If he gets cold again, it will be even harder to cure."

Hearing this, Yue Fengcheng shouted, "Wu Xiang."

"My subordinate is here."

"Tianwaitian, the only surname is Yue, do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

Yue Fengcheng nodded: "Get up, go with Chu boy, he will heal your legs."

"Can my leg be cured?" Wu Xiangshi raised his head, his face full of disbelief.

Chu Zhao nodded: "Okay, come with me."

Treating Wuxiang's leg was considered part of the betrothal money.

In addition, Chu Zhao also prepared a copy of "False Merit".

As for whether Yuefengcheng would practice or not, that was not his concern.

Three days later, at the Tianwaitian headquarters.

Today is the day when the two parties exchange the marriage certificate. After the exchange of the marriage certificate, it means that Chu Zhao and Yue Yao are officially engaged.

The main hall is already hung with red silk, creating a festive atmosphere.

Wuxiang stood at the gate, welcoming the people from the thirty-six sects of Tianwai Tian who came to congratulate him.

Perhaps because his legs were healed by Chu Zhao, Wu Xiang Shi was no longer as gloomy as before, and was much brighter. A leader of the 36 sects entered the main hall, glanced at Wu Xiang who was greeting people at the door, and turned back to ask, "Who healed Wu Xiang Shi's legs?"

"I heard he's the young lady's future husband."

"The Ninth Prince of Western Chu?"

"good."

"Can the Ninth Prince have this ability?"

"Who knows? But I heard that the Ninth Prince of Western Chu is quite powerful..."

Just as everyone was whispering, three figures floated over.

The three figures are all handsome young men, and the one leading them has an extraordinary appearance, like the rising sun, outstanding and unique.

His youthful spirit made people unconsciously ignore his age.

The two young men following closely behind him were the familiar white-haired Mo Qixuan and purple-clothed Zi Yuji, so the identity of the leading young man in red was self-evident.

Let’s not talk about other aspects for now, just talk about this appearance… Everyone couldn’t help but have a thought in their mind - no wonder the eldest lady fell in love with the impoverished Ninth Prince of Western Chu, he is simply bringing disaster to the country and the people.

For a moment, the entire hall was filled with exclamations.

Chu Zhao pretended not to hear and sat down under the guidance of Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji.

Not long after, Yue Fengcheng appeared above with his two daughters and the four great envoys from Tianwai Tian.

"I'll wait to see the sect master."

"No gift."

I have to say, it was quite impressive to see hundreds of people bowing and kneeling, and they felt no less impressive than the emperor in the court.

After some formalities, they entered into the tedious engagement process.

The ceremony was so complicated that Chu Zhao began to feel dizzy halfway through.

With his head dizzy, Chu Zhao let people lead him through the engagement ceremony. It was not until Yue Fengcheng handed him the woman's marriage certificate that he came to his senses.

——I have a fiancée now?
The engagement was complete, and next came the celebratory engagement banquet.

An engagement party, after all, is nothing more than eating and drinking.

Chu Zhao had never coveted the power of Tianwai Tian, ​​so naturally he didn't need to flatter or try to build friendships with the people of Tianwai Tian. He walked around with Yue Fengcheng and then sat down at the seat with Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji.

"Uncle, congratulations."

"Son-in-law, I never found a chance to thank you, so today I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your previous secrets. I offer you a toast."

"Uncle, thank you for your guidance in recent times."

"Uncle, drink..."

It was obvious that Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji were trying to get him drunk on purpose, and by the end they were too lazy to find a reason.

Chu Zhao was not surprised by this.

After all, he knew that the two men liked Yueyao, so it was normal for them to get him drunk.

Since you have stolen someone else's sweetheart, it is hard to refuse, so just drink the toast.

He had never been able to hold a very high alcohol tolerance in his life, and he was too embarrassed to use his inner strength to neutralize the effects of the alcohol, so he passed out on the table before the banquet was halfway through.

Mo Qixuan and Zi Yuji had just helped Chu Zhao back to his residence when Yue Yao arrived with her maid Xin'er.

"You guys go down, I'll take care of him." Yueyao said softly.

"Yes."

The two men bowed and left, but did not go far.

Looking back at the beautiful figure in the attic, both of them showed bitter expressions on their faces.

"Ah~"

A sigh suddenly sounded, startling the two of them.

Only then did they realize that the person sighing behind them was Xin'er, who had come here at some point in time.

"Why did you suddenly sigh? You scared me." Mo Qixuan said angrily.

"I sigh for you."

"What do you mean?"

Xin Er snorted, "Why are you pretending? Who can't see how you two feel about the young lady?"

Zi Yuji had a gloomy face and threatened: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Humph, Zi Yi, who are you trying to scare? You and Bai Fa like Miss, do you think Miss is blind and can't see it? Miss is just pretending not to know because she is afraid that you two will be embarrassed."

"I……"

Xin Er interrupted, "You don't need to explain. The young lady is so beautiful, so gentle, and so considerate. She is also good to us servants. If I were a man, I would like the young lady too."

Hearing this, the two were speechless.

After a moment of silence, Zi Yuji and Mo Qixuan suddenly spoke at the same time: "Do you like the eldest lady too?"

Then they both fell silent again.

After a long while, Mo Qixuan spoke again: "I like the eldest lady, but I know my status and I know I am not worthy of her. Of course, you are not worthy of the eldest lady either."

Zi Yuji snorted coldly, "Humph, same to you, you are not worthy of the young lady either."

Just as the two were glaring at each other, Xin'er suddenly laughed, causing them to turn their heads at the same time.

"why are you laughing?"

"What do you think? When the young lady marries His Highness the Ninth Prince, will I marry her as a maid?" Xin'er said with a silly smile, "At that time, I will also be considered married to His Highness the Ninth Prince."

Zi Yuji: "..."

Mo Qixuan: “…”
