Chapter 324 Return to Dahuang City
Lin Qingwei said softly: "I believe it."
Xiao Yi grinned and said: "Since you don't want to be my wife, the betrothal gift must be given to you. After I return to Dahuang City tomorrow, I will hold a birthday party and give you all the congratulatory gifts I received. You should treat it as a betrothal gift." ”
Lin Qingwei looked astonished. If there was no wedding banquet, the young master would have a birthday banquet to receive gifts?
If the person who said this was not her own son, Lin Qingwei would definitely scold her for being shameless...
At dawn the next day, Xiao Yi and the others left the forest and headed towards Dahuang City.
When the early sun rose, Xiao Yi and four others came to the gate of Dahuang City.
Outside the city gate, Nangong Wentian and five others were already waiting for him.
"I will see you at last, Your Majesty the Envoy." Nangong Wentian, Xian Yuren and others all got down on one knee and saluted Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi smiled and said: "Commanders, although I, Xiao Yi, have a silver order, I am not a member of the officialdom. When you see me in the future, you don't need to pay this courtesy. Everyone, get up."
"Thank you so much, Your Majesty." Nangong Wentian and others responded respectfully and stood up immediately.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Commanders are waiting for me here. Is there something going on?"
Nangong Wentian coughed lightly, lowered his head and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, we do have something to ask for."
"Say it." Xiao Yi smiled lightly.
These people are all members of the dynasty. Xiao Yi is not afraid of them, but he will not provoke or exclude them at will.
Judging from his life experience, if he can establish a good relationship with a political power, many things can be facilitated.
He has no emperor's heart, and as long as the dynasty does not deliberately make things difficult for him, he will not mess with the behemoth dynasty.
Nangong Wentian said hurriedly: "We were originally the captain of the Silver Guard in the Imperial City's Star Royal Division, but because we were framed, we were punished and demoted to the Great Wilderness City and became the commander of the Imperial Guard. Now we are already a few months away from leaving the Imperial City. Five years, but every day we think about being able to go back. So... So we would like to ask the envoy to speak for us in front of the prince and let us return to the imperial city. "
While speaking, Nangong Wentian lowered his voice, carefully handed a yuan ring to Xiao Yi and said: "This... this is a little thought from us five brothers. I hope your Majesty will not dislike it."
Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "Is this considered a blatant bribery?"
The faces of Nangong Wentian and the other five people all changed. They knelt down quickly and said in fear: "The general will not dare!"
Xiao Yi curled his lips and said: "I have taken out everything, what else do you dare not do. However, I will accept this thing. When I go to the imperial city, I will ask the prince to check whether you have been framed. If so, The truth is like this, I believe the prince will let you return to the imperial city. If it is not a frame-up, haha... I will send a message to Tuoba Zhan and ask him to send your heads to me. "
After saying that, Xiao Yi took the Yuan Ring and left.
Nangong Wentian and others had cold sweat on their temples.
"Nan...Brother Nangong, are we hugging the wrong thigh?" Xian Yuren said with a trembling voice.
Nangong Wentian gritted his teeth and said: "Why panic! We are indeed framed! As long as Xiao Yi can really persuade the prince to investigate our affairs thoroughly, with the prince's ability, he can definitely clear our names!"
The expressions of Xian Yuren and others relaxed slightly.
…
The people of the Tuoba family have been waiting anxiously for Xiao Yi to come.
Originally, many Tuoba tribe members suggested quietly escaping from Dahuang City and finding a way to make a living elsewhere. After all, no one could predict what Xiao Yi would do when he came to visit today...
But Tuoba Zhan was unwilling to give in.
The Tuoba family has been based in Dahuang City for nearly a thousand years and has managed to reach its current position. How could he be willing to leave like this?
What's more, his father Tuoba Wei is still in Xiao Yi's hands, and he cannot ignore his father's life and death.
People from the other five families were intercepted by Nangong Wentian and others before they left Dahuang City. Now I haven't left, but I haven't put away the things I packed. They are all waiting at home to see what will happen next.
If things go wrong, they still have to escape...
If what Xiao Yi said was true, then they wouldn't have to leave their hometown.
After all, they are reluctant to let go of the centuries-old foundation created in Dahuang City.
It's just that between their lives and their foundation, they want to save their lives more.
As Xiao Yi and his entourage appeared in front of Prince Man's Mansion, a Tuoba tribesman who was in charge of lookout quickly ran to the inner hall and reported Tuoba Zhan.
"Finally... finally here!" Tuoba Zhan's throat trembled slightly and his whole body tensed up.
The rest of the Tuoba family also turned pale and sweated profusely.
"Barbarian...Barbarian King, I seemed to have seen the ancestor just now." The person who came in to report said in an uncertain voice.
Tuoba Zhan gritted his teeth, kicked the man in the stomach, and said angrily: "What do you mean it looks like? You can't even recognize my ancestor?"
The person who made the report covered his stomach and said in fear: "Ancestor, he followed Xiao Yi with his head lowered. I...I can't see his face clearly."
"Following Xiao Yi and lowering your head?" Tuoba Zhan frowned and hummed: "Then you must have seen it wrong. Even if the ancestor was coerced by Xiao Yi, how could he do anything to Xiao Yi?" Such a respectful attitude!"
"Oh, why not?" At this time, an evil laughter came into the inner hall of Tuoba Mansion.
Xiao Yi, Ouyang Wudu, Lin Qingwei and Tuoba Wei, who was walking at the end with a respectful look, appeared outside the inner hall and then strolled into the inner hall.
"It's really the ancestor!" The Tuoba family members were shocked when they saw Tuoba Wei's appearance.
Tuoba Wei's eyes were originally lowered, but he raised them coldly and said: "Master Xiao, regardless of the past grievances, not only pardoned me for the death penalty, but was also willing to preserve everything that Tuoba's family has. I should be grateful and worship the Lord! You wait. We must always remember Mr. Xiao’s kindness! If someone repays kindness with evil and does something wrong again, I will be the first to slap him to death!"
Although everyone was a little surprised by Tuoba Wei's words, most of the results made them extremely happy!
For example, everything that exists in the Tuoba family has been preserved!
The head of the family is still a barbarian king!
Tuoba Zhan's eyes trembled. Faced with his ancestor's decision, he did not dare to disagree.
"Grandpa! Is this Xiao Yi threatening you with our life and death to claim your mastership to him?" A voice gritted his teeth and said angrily.
The Tuoba family members were almost frightened to death by this voice!
The family has been saved, who would jump out like a fool to make trouble!
For a moment, most of the Tuoba family's eyes became angry, and they all looked at Tuoba Yao!
"Tuoba Yao, you have no right to speak here! Shut up!"
"That's right! I'm so spoiled to you! If you make Mr. Xiao unhappy in the slightest today, even the Barbarian King won't be able to protect you. I'll have to break your legs!"
"Barbarian King! The family was saved only because of Mr. Xiao's kindness. Tuoba Yao made disrespectful remarks. I suggest that he be deprived of his cultivation and imprisoned in the dungeon forever!"
Several elders of the Tuoba family roared angrily, wanting to punish the Tuoba demon.
After all, if they offend Xiao Yi now, they will all die! Rather than all of them dying, it would be better to just die to Tuoba Yao...
