Chapter 59
"Prime Minister Duan, now that everyone is here, I won't beat around the bush." ​​Xia Ao gave Duan Muyao a calm look, "I came to you to discuss with you about supporting me." Xia Ao With a slight smile, there is an absolutely confident smile on his face.

Inexplicably, her heart settled down, he always has this ability to make her feel at ease no matter what.It wasn't until a long time later that Duan Muyao knew that it was love. He loved someone and decided to spend his whole life with him, so even his little gesture would make you feel extremely at ease.

"Supporting the second prince, where did you start?" Prime Minister Duan pretended to be stupid on the surface, and his heart was already alarmed. At first he thought that his daughter was just talking about it for a while, but when he saw the second prince looking at his daughter When looking at the eyes, there is absolutely no fake element in the gentleness in them. It is definitely the eyes that can only be found when you love someone to the core. After all, he once had such eyes, but he was obliterated by the burden on his shoulders day by day. up.

"Prime Minister Duan is a smart man, so he naturally understands what I'm talking about." Xia Ao had expected that Prime Minister Duan would pretend to be stupid, but he was well prepared. Very bumpy.

"What do I know? A minister should be diligent and loyal to the emperor all his life, and die for the emperor. No matter who is the emperor in the end, I will do my best." Prime Minister Duan did not directly avoid this topic this time. It's just that whose words are supported in the words is still unclear.

"Prime Minister Duan, have you ever heard of the 'Kyoto 47 Guards'?" Xia Ao pondered for a moment before throwing out a sentence that shocked everyone.

The 47 Guards of Kyoto is one of his subordinates who directly belong to him and only listen to his secret subordinates. The members in it have no names and only their own code names. From 47 to [-], all of them are highly skilled in martial arts and have their own skills in different fields. Amazing talent.

However, the most shocking thing is not this, but the birth of the 47 guards in Kyoto.The predecessor of Yan State was Chu State. When Xia Haoyu, the first emperor of Yan State, conquered the world, his main force relied on these 47 people.

With these 47 people, they created countless legends, especially the most famous battle of Luohe. At that time, they only relied on their familiarity with the terrain and the pitiful number of 47 people to hold back the 20 Chu State. Day and night, the army bought extremely precious time for the arrival of reinforcements and severely frustrated their spirit.

But what is crazy is not these. After that battle, everyone thought they were dead, and when they were silently mourning for them, they miraculously appeared again.

The dynasty changed and the new emperor ascended the throne. From then on, Xia Haoyu ruled the world. Just when the canonization ceremony was about to start, the whole audience fell silent, and a group of people in heavy armor appeared in front of everyone with such arrogance.

The dark heavy armor reflects the cold light under the sunlight. Everyone wears helmets on their heads and cannot see their faces clearly. The weapons in their hands are different. A group of people have been so quiet since their high-profile appearance. He stood there without saying a word, but anyone could see the majesty and solemnity in it.

The envoys from various countries were discussing secretly, and the expressions of the princes and nobles also changed from panic at the beginning to confusion. After entering the palace, no matter who you are or what your prominent status is, you have to kneel when you see the emperor.

But now these people who appeared inexplicably, not only did not kneel down, but also held weapons one by one. The strangest thing is that their emperor didn't seem to be angry at all.

A few thoughtful people secretly counted the number of people present, and were surprised to find that there were no more than 47 of them. A bold guess appeared in their minds. Could it be that they were the heroes in the Battle of Luohe?

Everyone cast admiring glances at the people in the center of the arena. At this time, the emperor spoke. There was no praise, no appreciation, no promotion, but only gave them a series of privileges and the right to freely follow their masters.

Everyone is excited. Isn’t this a disguised expression that those who win the 47 guards of Kyoto win the world? After the 47 guards of Kyoto knelt on one knee and expressed their willingness to follow our Lord, they pushed the atmosphere of the enthronement ceremony to the climax until the banquet ended After that, everyone wanted to recruit them to find out their whereabouts, but no one knew where they were, as if they had never appeared before.

But this incident was not forgotten by everyone, but those heroes were remembered. The name of the 47 Guards in Kyoto became louder and louder. In the end, even other countries heard their strength from their envoys. In the end, even He became the protector of the Yan Kingdom.

It was mentioned again today, and the person who mentioned it was Xia Ao, so the meaning is self-evident.

"Now the 'Kyoto 47 Guards' directly belongs to you?" Prime Minister Duan's calm face changed. He knew that Xia Ao's talent definitely did not belong to other princes. Subdued.

"Yes." Xia Ao nodded, only Duanmuyao felt sorry for him, she didn't know how much effort Xia Ao had put in to subdue this rebellious team, but she knew that Xia Ao was able to calm down now To put it mildly, the effort behind it will definitely not be less.

"Okay, I support you." At this moment, Prime Minister Duan finally let go. A talented prince who is deeply loved by the emperor added the rhetoric of "the 47 defenders of the capital win the world", and he couldn't help being moved by it. .

"Thank you, Prime Minister Duan." Xia Ao smiled warmly and politely, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Xia Ao stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Prime Minister Duan, "Now let's talk about the second thing."

"There's a second thing?" Duan Mufeng listened quietly on the sidelines. Just now, the 24th guard in Kyoto caused a storm in his heart, and he couldn't tell that the second prince was the one who was hiding the most.

"Yes, I want to ask Prime Minister Duan for a treasure." Xia Ao suddenly bent down and bowed to Prime Minister Duan, which shocked everyone present. How could someone in the royal family bend down to others?

"Second prince, please hurry up, don't make trouble for the old minister." Prime Minister Duan vaguely felt that he could guess what Xia Ao wanted.

"Whatever you want, we will give you." Duan Mufeng thought for a while and said, there are some treasures that are not available in the second prince's mansion, and he still has to go to his house to get them, but he realized as soon as the words came out, this is the most precious treasure I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

"Thank you, Young Master Duan, for your generosity." Xia Ao cupped his hands, the future brother-in-law is really easy to talk to.Xia Ao didn't wait for Duan Mufeng to explain a few more words before speaking, "I want to ask Prime Minister Duan to marry your daughter, Duan Muyao, the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family."

"No!" As soon as the words fell, they were blocked by two people in unison. Duan Mufeng and Duanrou frowned. Although it was clear from Yaoyao's words just now that she liked Xia Ao, as family members they have For their own selfishness, even if Yaoyao wanted to marry the second prince willingly, they would not agree so easily.

"Yaoyao is only 14 years old." Duan Mufeng said the most powerful reason. In Yan country, women can only marry when they are 14 years old and 16 years old.Duan Mufeng tried to find excuses to perfunctory the promise he made just now.

"We can ask the emperor for a marriage first, and it won't be too late to get married in two years." Xia Ao had already had a plan to deal with it, and set Yaoyao down first, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy, and we will talk about the future.

"This..." Duan Mufeng was speechless, after all, there was a precedent for this.

"No, I won't let my daughter be wronged." Duanrou said firmly, "I would rather be a poor family wife than a high family concubine. Yaoyao has been spoiled by us since she was a child, and I'm afraid she can't serve her husband with others .”

"I can guarantee that I will only love her in my lifetime." Xia Ao frowned, he really couldn't give Yaoyao these things, all he could give was his own heart.

"The most unreliable thing in the world is promises. You say you want to rule the world, but what is an emperor? If Yaoyao marries, he will face not only three wives and four concubines, but also three thousand beauties. How can you make me feel at ease?" Duan Rou's tone was a little excited, as if recalling some bad memories, he had promised her the same way before, but he left it behind in an instant, how could she believe Xia Ao's words anymore.

Duan Chengrui blushed slightly, he seemed to have made a promise, but he broke his promise after all.
