Chapter 323 Attitude
"My lord, my lord!" Yan Ji yelled after chasing after him, "I'm already sixteen today, even if you go now, it's too late!"

"Why is it too late?" Yanling walked quickly, and said while going to the school grounds, "Leaving tonight, three days of fast horses is enough."

Rongguan is about a thousand miles away from Nanyuan, and there are mountains and rivers on the road. It takes at least four hundred miles to arrive on time every day.

This is the speed at which urgent military information is transmitted, and the messengers have to change people and horses on the way, and now the localities are in their own ways, and they don't have the support of the post station, so they can only bring a few more horses to change rides——Yanji just thinks about this difficulty, and his legs will straighten tremble.

"My lord, calm down, my lord! What kind of person is Miss Xu San? Even if the false emperor personally forces her to come to the door, she won't be able to accept this order! Just put your heart in your stomach, and let's take a long-term plan, okay?"

Yanling stopped in her tracks: "Aji."

Yan Ji thought that he listened to the persuasion, and was overjoyed: "Hey!"

Yan Ling turned her head, her anger had subsided, and she said calmly, "I know she won't accept this order, and she will handle it properly."

"It's okay..."

"But I can't not go." Yanling cut off his words, "It's her attitude that she doesn't accept the order, it's her ability to handle it, and I also have my attitude, I can't push things to her just because she has the ability ——I want this marriage, even if I go through fire and water, I have to go and grab it by myself!"

Yanji was dumbfounded: "My lord..."

Yan Ling had already moved on, and at the same time shouted loudly to the guards: "Pass my order, gather at the school grounds!"

……

Looking at the list of guests, Xu Yin sighed.

Xu Si came in from outside with soup, and joked with a smile: "What's the matter, there are too many princes and grandchildren, our third lady is picky?"

Xu Yin glared at his sister reproachfully, and pouted: "The wedding is coming soon, and if my sister doesn't go to get the dowry, how can she still make fun of me?"

Xu Si's face has already been thickened, and he said without changing his face: "You have to rest for a while to prepare the dowry, right? Just come to listen to Miss San talk about her worries!"

"elder sister!"

Seeing her cheeks flushed, Xu Si couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

After laughing, she gave Xu Yin soup and said, "You don't have to worry too much, the second son of Yan always keeps his word. When you were going to Yongcheng to assassinate Wu Zijing, he went with you without saying a word. It was the same in Jiangdu, he Serving as Li Shizi's stand-in, isn't it just because of your face? For more than a year, he has been in danger for you every time, and he has never shied away. Now that he has an agreement with you, the Yan family will definitely not be absent .”

Xu Yin stirred the soup in the bowl with a spoon, and said, "Of course he will keep his promise, and that's why I'm worried."

"You mean..."

"He said that his parents had already agreed to the marriage before he went to the capital, and I told him about the date early. Based on Duke Zhao's behavior, the envoys sent to discuss marriage should have left long ago."

It is true to say so, Xu Si was startled, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that their family...repented? There is a better choice, and they don't want to form an alliance with our family?"

Seeing her thinking wrongly, Xu Yin smiled: "No. Duke Zhao could agree to this marriage in whatever situation our family was in last year, so why would he dislike it now? Sister, I know in my heart that I have a marriage contract with Yan Er, and it is also Because the two love each other, forming an alliance is just incidental, just like you and Li Shizi."

Xu Si thought the same, and continued to ask: "Then what are you worried about?"

Xu Yin lowered his head and looked at the bowl of soup: "If I left early and I haven't seen him yet, I'm naturally worried that something will happen."

"Isn't that possible?" Xu Si didn't believe it, "Who would dare to do anything to Duke Zhao's mansion?"

Xu Yin scooped up the soup absently, and had an idea in his heart, but he didn't see the sign yet, so he hesitated for a while, but still didn't say it.

Just after eating, Xiaoman ran in from outside panting: "Miss, something is wrong! The motorcade of Duke Zhao's mansion was robbed!"

The two sisters raised their heads at the same time: "What?"

Xu Yin suddenly got up: "I'm going to see my father."

Xu Si called to her: "I'll go with you."

The two sisters quickly walked through the atrium to the outer study.

Ever since Xu Yin became a director, the servants have become very used to the two young ladies going in and out of the study, and let them in without even notifying them.

"Father!"

There are quite a few people in the study, apart from Ji Jing, there are also several staff members.After the two sisters saluted, Xu Yin opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that the motorcade of Duke Zhao's mansion was robbed, what's going on?"

This news was brought by Xu Huan. He sighed and explained the situation again: "The emissary of the Yan family left last month. When they arrived at Fuyundu, they were robbed by a group of robbers. The limousine They were all lost, even the letter of petition was destroyed, and the envoy was seriously injured, so he ordered his relatives to report the news, and he did not arrive until today."

"Rooters? Which family's robbers dare to rob Duke Zhao's mansion?" Xu Yin was 1 in disbelief, "Who pretended to be?"

Xu Huan glanced at Ji Jing, and let him explain: "Miss San, we guess that he is a false emperor."

False Emperor, Duan Wang!
Xu Yin felt that the bad premonition in his heart was becoming a reality.

The anger flashed by, and she quickly calmed down: "Fuyundu is not far from Nanyuan, where did the robbers go?"

"I don't know, my lord has asked Wan Song to keep an eye on him." Ji Jing said.

"Ayin, what are you worried about?" Xu Huan asked directly.

Xu Yin replied: "Father, since the False Emperor sent people here, they didn't just want to rob the car. I suspect that their real goal is Nanyuan."

"You mean, he's coming too—asking for marriage?"

"To be precise, it's a summons." Xu Yin raised the corner of his mouth, with a half-smile, "Father, guess, will they bring an imperial decree?"

Xu Huan fell silent.What Xu Yin said was also what he was worried about. If the person who came really brought the imperial decree of the false emperor, then he had to make a decision.If you don't accept the imperial decree, you will turn your face, and you can only be the rafter in the early days.If he accepted it, it would be tantamount to acknowledging the legitimacy of King Duan's succession to the throne, and he would turn his back on it in the future and follow the truth.

Neither option is good for the Xu family.

"If that's the case, then we'll have to make a careful calculation."

Several staff members nodded in unison and began to discuss in a low voice.

When the matter is settled, Xu Huan softly comforted his daughter: "Don't worry, if the false emperor dares to do this, we will make him suffer a big loss. As for those suitors, you don't have to worry about them, as the father will handle them properly."

Speaking of this, he sighed: "I still want to settle your marriage before your sister gets married, but unfortunately the people from the Yan family can't come for the time being, so we can only wait."

Xu Yin said yes, but his mind drifted away.

It was indeed an accident that the envoys of Duke Zhao's mansion were attacked, but there are still four days left, is it true that people from the Yan family can't come?
　For the Yan and Xu families, the first thing is to get married, and the second is to form an alliance.Sincerity is the recognition of the weak, not the rush after the developed.
