Chapter 357 Kangli Ding'an: The Jin Envoy Has Arrived to Propose Marriage! [3rd Update, Please Subscribe]

Cai Fu, of course, did not linger:
You say stay, then stay! I am Sai Xuande, Iron Arm, Northern Sword King...

"Please forgive me, brave warrior!"

Kangli Ding'an actually ran up to Cai Fu, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply to him:
"Only because the matter is of great importance, we have no choice but to test the brave warrior. As expected, Kangli Ding'an has the heart of a petty man!"

Kangli Ding'an was both the Liao emperor's brother-in-law and Princess Tianshou's uncle, so Cai Fu couldn't go too far.

After all, they might very well become family in the future.

"The Emperor's brother-in-law is right!"

Cai Fu helped Kangli Ding'an up and answered him with this gesture, a gesture accustomed to worldly wisdom.

Kangli Ding'an was taken aback, then quickly added approvingly:
"As expected of the 'King of the Northern Blades,' he's truly impressive!"

"Brave warrior, to be honest, the reason I invited you here is because I want to ask you something in person!"

Cai Fu frowned, realizing that things were not so simple:
"Is there anything else the Imperial Brother-in-law wants to ask me?"

Kangli Ding'an cut to the chase: "Brave warrior, how far have you and the princess progressed?"

Good guy!
Cai Fu instinctively denied it: "Imperial Brother-in-law, you've misunderstood!"

"I didn't misunderstand!"

Kangli Ding'an was an experienced person, and besides, Princess Tianshou was his niece whom he had watched grow up.

Princess Tianshou looked at Cai Fu with such a resentful gaze, like a woman confined to her boudoir, how could he not see it?
"Rest assured, brave warrior, I will not interfere with your relationship with the princess!"

Kangli Ding'an held Cai Fu's hand:

"I'm just asking from an uncle's perspective: where have things come to between you and my niece?"

Uncle? Then I have no way to say it!
Cai Fu's mouth twitched twice secretly:

"Imperial brother-in-law, all I can say is that the princess and I are innocent."

In Cai Fu's view as a time traveler, the mouth doesn't count, and innocence refers to a woman's virginity.

However, Kangli Ding'an clearly failed to reach a consensus with Cai Fu on this aspect.

Seeing that Cai Fudu had said so, Kangli Ding'an could only shake his head with a wry smile:
"In that case, Kangli Ding'an has been presumptuous!"

"Brave warrior, let's go back!"

"Wait a minute!"

Cai Fu originally did not want to contact Princess Tianshou's family so early, but Kangli Ding'an's behavior clearly indicated that there was another reason.

Cai Fu stopped Kangli Ding'an: "Imperial Brother-in-law, please speak frankly!"

Kangli Ding'an shook his head: "Since you and the princess are innocent, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Brave warrior, please."

That’s all!

Cai Fu knew that now was not the right time to expose his relationship with Princess Tianshou.

Moreover, his relationship with Princess Tianshou was ambiguous.

No matter how famous he was in the Song Dynasty, he was nothing more than a bandit leader who ruled over a mountain.

Princess Tianshou was different from Fang Jinzhi; she was a legitimate princess of the Liao Dynasty.

Cai Fu and Fang Jinzhi were a perfect match, while Cai Fu and Princess Tianshou would only make him a laughingstock, a toad trying to eat swan meat.

However, Cai Fu had watched too many melodramatic TV dramas, and he always caused melodramatic consequences because of a single sentence that was not explained clearly.

Cai Fu didn't want his life to be so dramatic, so he gritted his teeth and glared:
"Although the princess and I are innocent, we are sworn brothers!"

"If this matter is detrimental to the princess, how can Cai Fu stand idly by?"

Friend of life and death?

Kangli Ding'an hesitated for two seconds: "Actually, it can't be considered as detrimental to the princess..."

"Since you and the princess are sworn brothers, I may tell you."

"Just the day before yesterday, an envoy from the Jin Kingdom came to propose marriage!"

Watt hair?
Cai Fu had a bad feeling: "Who is proposing to whom?" Kangli Ding'an replied: "In order to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries, Wuzhu, the fourth prince of the Jin Dynasty, hopes to marry the princess!"

I'm crazy...

Cai Fu's face turned green: "Ha Mi Chi, that son of a bitch, is really like an old sow wearing an eye patch, one trick after another!"

Clearly, Jin spies had already reported to Hami Chi by fast horse that Princess Tianshou had been rescued by him...

As a result, Hami Chi pulled this stunt again. It has to be said that Hami Chi successfully disgusted himself!

And Jin Wuzhu!
He stole Jin Wuzhu's mount, the Jade Lion, and Jin Wuzhu wanted to retaliate in kind.

No way!
Kangli Ding'an sighed:

"I've heard that Wuzhu has a face like burning coals, hair like black clouds, bushy eyebrows and a long beard, a wide mouth and round eyes, a height of ten feet, and shoulders three sections wide..."

"They're as savage as wild beasts!"
"Actually, I didn't want the princess to marry into that family. The Wolf Lord only has this one precious daughter!"
"well--

"However, the Jin envoy was pressing us hard, and the Wolf Lord hesitated, waiting for the princess to return to discuss it."

There were actually political reasons behind this, but Kangli Ding'an didn't intend to explain it so clearly to Cai Fu.

"I understand."

Cai Fucai doesn't care about political marriages.

He only knew that he had already taken a bite of Princess Tianshou, this delicate little cabbage, so how could he let wild boars from outside run wild again?
However, he still needed to go to Princess Tianshou in person to clarify how to handle this matter.

"Imperial brother-in-law, I'll go find the princess first."

Cai Fu cupped his hands in greeting to Kangli Ding'an and strode out.

After walking for a while, Cai Fucai realized that Princess Tianshou had already left her seat, and he couldn't find her when he went back the way he came.

So the question is, where is Princess Tianshou?

Having no other choice, Cai Fu had to go back and ask Kangli Ding'an again:
"Imperial Brother-in-Law, hiss—"

Cai Fu couldn't help but gasp:
Just moments ago, Kangli Ding'an was sighing and complaining to himself, but now he was lying face up dead in his chair!
Kangli Ding'an's head was smashed open; the murder weapon was that one-foot-tall golden horse!
broken!

Cai Fu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly turned to leave, only to see Princess Tianshou and Wuyan Yanshou enter!

"uncle--"

Princess Tianshou still coquettishly drew out the sound.

She didn't know what Kangli Ding'an wanted to say to Cai Fu.

But even someone with a brain should be able to figure out that what Kang Lidingan said was related to her.

Princess Tianshou was worried that Kangli Ding'an would make things difficult for Cai Fu, so when she found out, she rushed over to help Cai Fu out of the predicament.

Upon entering, Princess Tianshou saw Cai Fu and instinctively avoided his gaze, turning instead to Kangli Ding'an.
"Uncle, why are you doing this—"

Upon seeing Kangli Ding'an's death, Princess Tianshou couldn't help but let out a scream:
"uncle--"

She shoved Cai Fu, who was blocking her way, and rushed to Kangli Ding'an's body in a panic, tears streaming down her face.

"Uncle, what's wrong, Uncle—"

Cai Fu looked at Wu Yanshou, who was standing at the door. Wu Yanshou looked panicked, as if he had been scared out of his wits.

"Cai Cai!"

Princess Tianshou rushed to Cai Fu with tears streaming down her face, grabbed his chest with both hands, and sobbed as she asked:
"Who killed my uncle?"

Cai Fu looked directly into Princess Tianshou's eyes with an open and honest expression:

"If I said I didn't know, would you believe me?"

Princess Tianshou and he locked eyes, and tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string...

"If it wasn't you who killed the emperor's brother-in-law, then who was it?"

Wuyan Yanshou seemed to have come to his senses and immediately pointed at Cai Fu, shouting:

"The emperor's brother-in-law brought you here alone, didn't he?"
"There are only the Imperial Brother-in-law and you here. Who else could it be but you?"

Cai Fu gave him a meaningful look:
You don’t even want to act anymore?
