Chapter 179: The Perfect Method in the World, Fulfilling the Bodhisattva's Promise! [Subscribe]
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhao Ning smiled and said to Lin Xuan:
"I intend to grant you a marriage, what do you think, my dear?"
"Marriage?"
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
Thinking that the Black Fox King has not been eliminated, there will still be the Dark Demon King to wreak havoc on the world in the future.
He hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, I am a minister..."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Emperor Zhao Ning.
"My dear, please don't be so hasty to refuse. First, listen to who I will give you."
Lin Xuan was silent for a moment.
Suddenly, Emperor Zhao Ning said solemnly:
"I want to marry Wang Mengdi, the daughter of your lord, to you. What do you think?"
"Meng...Ms. Mengdi?"
After the words fell, Lin Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.
Thinking that Wang Mengdi was still in front of the palace, his face turned red for no reason.
At this moment, he did not show any bearing of a spiritual master. Instead, he just looked like an ordinary teenager, feeling awkward and shy when encountering marriage for the first time.
at the same time.
When Wang Mengdi heard the emperor's words, a blush immediately appeared on her pretty face and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
I'm embarrassed to visit Lin Xuan.
The blushing look added a bit of brightness to her already beautiful face.
Although she acted indifferent, she was actually looking forward to Lin Xuan's answer in her heart.
Through the contact over the past few days, Wang Mengdi did not dislike Lin Xuan, but instead felt some admiration for him.
It is difficult for Wang Mengdi to explain this admiration.
I don’t know if it’s because of his title as a young marquis, or because he has such amazing abilities at such a young age.
Or at the foot of Youli Mountain, he was willing to give an ingot of gold to the old woman who took them in for the night.
This act of repaying her felt that it coincided with some of her own good intentions...
In short, in Wang Mengdi's opinion, Lin Xuan is an interesting person, with chivalry and compassion in his heart, as well as a sense of family and country.
Wang Mengdi was also very clear that he was destined to never be able to keep up with such a dazzling and outstanding person like Lin Xuan.
To a certain extent, the two are not even a match.
But even knowing this, Wang Mengdi still had a glimmer of hope and happiness in his heart.
So, she was looking forward to Lin Xuan's answer.
……
Seeing that Lin Xuan did not express his opinion for the time being, he neither refused nor agreed.
Emperor Zhao Ning could only change his approach and asked:
"Lord Lin, what do you think of Commander Wang's daughter?"
"Ms. Mengdi is intelligent, pretty and graceful, and very lovable."
Lin Xuan said without hesitation.
Hearing Lin Xuan's praise, Wang Mengdi's face turned even redder, and her ears felt a little hot.
Upon hearing this, Commander Wang also smiled.
It seems that Lin Xuan is a secure son-in-law.
"Then you agree, my dear?"
Emperor Zhao Ning said again.
Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Majesty, I am not yet of age, so the marriage can wait a little longer."
Say it.
Several people present were stunned.
Wang Mengdi's beautiful eyes dimmed instantly.
She just felt like a basin of cold water poured over her from head to toe, and the sudden clarity shattered all the fantasies in her mind.
Soon, Emperor Zhao Ning was confused and said:
"Lord Lin, what do you mean by this?"
"Do you feel that you are too young to get married, or are you dissatisfied with me giving you the daughter of Commander Wang?"
Lin Xuan bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness."
"But now that the Black Fox King has not been eliminated, it is difficult for me to have any romantic feelings."
"I hope Your Majesty will take back the order for the marriage and not delay Miss Mengdi."
Since going to the future world, Lin Xuan realized what kind of enemies he would face in the future.
He couldn't stop.
Even if I really get together with Wang Mengdi, how long can I stay with her?
He still doesn't know how powerful the Dark Lord is.
Even someone as powerful as Bodhisattva Puji Guangwei cannot guarantee that he can kill this demon.
Therefore, his path is destined to be difficult.
In this case, there is no need to keep the sentimentality and drag others down, right?
With this in mind, Lin Xuan refused the marriage.
Regarding Lin Xuan’s words.
Emperor Zhao Ning couldn't understand it.
In his opinion, it would take time for Lin Xuanzhen to kill the Black Fox King.
But now that we have the ability to defeat this demon, it means we don't need too much time.
Perhaps after a year, we can completely wipe out this group of people.
Why did Lin Xuan’s previous words make him feel a little confused?
It seems that killing the Black Fox King is not as easy as he imagined.
Emperor Zhao Ning could not help but look solemn and said:
"Lord Lin, you saved Commander Wang's daughter, so logically you have defeated the Black Fox King. Do you have any unspeakable secrets?"
Lin Xuan thought for a moment before saying:
"Your Majesty, the reason we were able to rescue Miss Mengdi this time was that the Black Fox King was already injured and his strength was only 50% to 60% of what it was before, which allowed this humble minister to take advantage of the situation."
It would be of no use even if the emperor Zhao Ning and others were told about the Dark Lord.
Therefore, Lin Xuan chose to conceal the truth and deliberately made the Black Fox King sound more powerful.
Commander Wang was shocked when he heard this:
"what?!"
"The Black Fox King is so powerful. How can Xuan Yonghou, with his strength, be compared to the Black Fox King who is only 50% as powerful as him?"
To know.
At present, Lin Xuan’s strength is even greater than that of Abbot Sanzang!
Lin Xuan glanced at Commander Wang and said:
"Commander Wang is wrong. The Black Fox King has not yet recovered his full strength."
Hearing this, Wang Daosen's heart sank.
In this case, he had underestimated the Black Fox King before.
No wonder the three great Shaolin monks in the past could only seal it, and they were not strong enough to kill it.
This time.
Emperor Zhao Ning did not speak for a long time.
It seemed that he was also impressed by the power of the Black Fox King.
Just when Lin Xuan thought that His Majesty would take back his order, Wang Mengdi, who was standing in the hall, suddenly raised his head, looked directly at him and asked:
"If the Black Fox King is not eliminated, do you plan to marry, Brother Lin?"
"I……"
Do not know why.
Lin Xuan was speechless for a moment.
Looking at Wang Mengdi, he suddenly discovered that the latter's eyes at this moment had some similarities with the eyes of the grown-up "Wang Mengdi" he saw in the future world.
It also carries a bit of coldness and desolation.
In an instant, Lin Xuan remembered the instructions given by Puji Guangwei Bodhisattva before he left, which asked him to make up for this regret if he had the chance.
Could it be that he really wants me to marry Wang Mengdi?
When Lin Xuan was hesitant.
The girl's firm voice rang out in the hall, word by word:
"Brother Lin, since you can't answer, why don't you let me make a decision for you!"
"I understand your aspirations and your concerns. If you have really decided to forge your own path, then go ahead without hesitation."
"No matter what, I will keep up with you. If you reach the other side one day, when you look back, I will still be waiting for you!"
The words fell.
Wang Mengdi could no longer control her emotions. Her eyes turned red and tears kept rolling down her face.
After a moment, she actually ran out!
"Dream Flute!"
Seeing his beloved daughter running away crying in disgrace in front of the emperor, Commander Wang felt his scalp tingling and he quickly called out to her.
But how could Wang Mengdi listen at this moment?
Seeing this, Emperor Zhao Ning did not blame him, but just sighed helplessly:
"Forget it, Commander Wang."
"I understand the child's nature."
"It seems that we are pushing it too far."
In the emperor's view, granting a marriage between Lin Xuan and Wang Mengdi should be a good thing.
Why in the end, it can't be resolved...
Sure enough, it is difficult to be a matchmaker.
Just when he was about to let Lin Xuan and Commander Wang leave.
Unexpectedly, His Highness Lin Xuan suddenly changed his words and said:
"Your Majesty, I have thought it through and am willing to marry Miss Mengdi!"
Emperor Zhao Ning's expression changed and he said:
"Oh?"
"Lord Lin, do you agree again?"
"No jokes in front of you, you better think carefully before answering."
Lin Xuan answered seriously: "Your Majesty, I have thought it through and am willing to marry Miss Meng Di!"
Wang Mengdi's last sentence made Lin Xuan suddenly realize the truth.
If he really didn't agree, perhaps she would have to wait for him all her life.
If that's the case, what's the difference between this and the situation we'll encounter in the future world?
Since Bodhisattva Puji Guangwei has warned me, I should make up for my regrets if I have the chance.
From today's perspective, His Majesty's granting of marriage is an opportunity.
If you miss it, you don’t know when the next time will be?
After careful consideration, Lin Xuan finally agreed!
As for future matters, we will deal with them slowly.
Perhaps, with the help of the Cauldron of Creation, he could attain the state of Buddhahood in the next ten years.
By then we will have the strength to defeat the Dark Lord.
Hearing Lin Xuan's sonorous words, Emperor Zhao Ning smiled and said:
"it is good!"
"Lord Lin, since you have agreed, I will give you the betrothal gift. You are not yet 20 years old, and Meng Di is not yet 15 years old, so it is better to settle the marriage first. There is no need to rush to get married."
"As your majesty wishes."
Lin Xuan nodded and said.
Then, Emperor Zhao Ning said loudly to Wang Daosen:
"My dear Lord Wang, how about this good son-in-law I found for you?"
Hearing this, Commander Wang was already grinning from ear to ear. He quickly bowed and said:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"Okay, you go down first."
"Tomorrow I will send the Minister of Rites, no, Lord Tang, to deliver the order."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Xuan and Commander Wang looked at each other and spoke respectfully.
Soon, the two of them left the Yangxin Palace.
……
After leaving the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Wang Daosen was preparing to go find Wang Mengdi.
But then he thought again, Lin Xuan was still here, so he patted his shoulder and said:
"Lin Xuan, you got her angry and she ran away, so why don't you coax her back?"
"Yes, Commander Wang."
Lin Xuan laughed dryly.
Wang Daosen's face turned serious:
"Still calling me Commander Wang?"
"Father-in-law." Lin Xuan bowed.
Seeing this, Wang Daosen was satisfied.
Not long after, Lin Xuan left the palace gate ahead of Commander Wang to look for Wang Mengdi.
Looking at Lin Xuan's departing back, Wang Daosen sighed:
"Alas, I don't know whether it is good or bad for Meng Di to marry Lin Xuan..."
……
Lin Xuan's spiritual power is astonishing. Once released, it can cover an area of a thousand feet in radius.
Therefore, he found Wang Mengdi easily.
In fact, Wang Mengdi didn’t walk far. He just stood alone in a daze at the corner of the palace wall.
There were several palace maids around her, and it seemed that they were acquainted with Wang Mengdi.
"Sister Mengdi, who bullied you? Why are you crying like this?"
"Where is Commander Wang? He doesn't care?"
"Sister Mengdi, are you being bullied by the Black Fox Gang?"
"..."
The woman had just finished speaking.
A clear young man's voice suddenly sounded.
"With me here, no one dares to bully her!"
The women were wondering.
The next moment, a figure appeared like a ghost and came in front of the few people.
Everyone was shocked at first.
But when he saw that the person coming was a handsome young man with clear eyes and eyebrows, and a handsome figure like a jade tree, his eyes suddenly brightened.
A girl who was over the age of marriageable looked at Lin Xuan and asked:
"Who is this young master?"
"My name is Lin Xuan."
Lin Xuan began to introduce himself.
Hearing this, the girls suddenly realized what was going on and smacked their lips and said:
"Lin Xuan, could it be that you are the Marquis Xuanyong who was personally conferred by the emperor?"
"He is indeed a handsome man."
"I heard that it was you who rescued Sister Meng Di this time."
"..."
Lin Xuan did not pay much attention to the women's words of exclamation and praise.
He moved and walked straight to Wang Mengdi.
Looking at the girl in front of him whose eyes were red from crying and whose long eyelashes flickered with her sobs, Lin Xuan leaned down and said gently:
"Ms. Mengdi, I agree to your majesty's marriage."
Wang Mengdi originally thought that Lin Xuan came to persuade him to go back according to his father's wishes.
She had already prepared to refuse in her mind, but when the boy in front of her said this.
For no reason, Wang Mengdi's heart trembled, and then her beautiful eyes widened, staring at Lin Xuan in disbelief.
Her cheeks gradually became flushed again.
this moment.
The women present seemed to understand what had happened and began to congratulate the two men.
……
……
Kaifeng City.
Lin House.
No, to be precise, it is the Xuanyong Marquis Mansion.
Father and Mother Lin have moved into the Marquis' Mansion for a long time.
Apart from Lin's father and mother, there were only maids, housekeepers and other miscellaneous servants left in the house.
A rough estimate shows that there are only about forty people in the entire marquis's mansion.
The marquis's mansion was quite large, with a garden, living room, rockery, waterside pavilion, etc., which was more than twenty times larger than that of the Lin family in the past.
Lin's father and mother were not used to living there at all. After moving into the marquis's mansion, they didn't recognize any of their neighbors.
In desperation, Lin's mother invited people from her own family to live with her.
After all, she is pregnant now, so it would be more convenient for her family to come and take care of her.
……
This day.
The entire Lin family was eating around the table.
Suddenly, a doorman hurried into the room and reported:
"Master, the imperial envoy from the palace is outside the door!"
“And they brought a lot of stuff!”
The words fell.
Father Lin's face changed slightly. He didn't understand why an imperial envoy from the palace came here out of the blue.
Could it be because of Xuan'er?
He couldn't figure it out, but he knew clearly that he couldn't be rude to the messengers from the palace.
So I quickly greeted:
"Everyone, follow me out to welcome the imperial envoy!"
Soon, Lin's father, Lin's mother and a large group of people all walked out of the main hall.
As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I saw a eunuch wearing a tea-colored robe with gorgeous patterns embroidered on it, leading the palace guards.
The guards were all carrying things, some were carrying large boxes, and the things they were carrying varied, including silk, jade…
There are even chicken, duck, fish and meat.
In addition, Father Lin also heard faint horse neighing outside the door.
See this scene.
Father Lin and others were completely confused.
It was the father-in-law who first asked him with a smile:
"This must be the father of Marquis Xuan Yong, right?"
Father Lin nodded quickly and asked politely:
"That's me, may I ask what this is, sir?"
"These are the betrothal gifts bestowed by His Majesty on Marquis Xuan Yong."
The eunuch said.
"bride price?"
Hearing this, Father Lin was stunned and couldn't help but look at Mother Lin.
At this moment, Lin's mother was also confused.
The emperor gave Xuan'er a betrothal gift. Does that mean Xuan'er has someone she likes?
"Yes, His Majesty has arranged a marriage for Marquis Xuanyong, so he should give some betrothal gifts," the eunuch explained.
Hear this.
Father Lin was a little bit unbelievable.
Last year, when I talked to Xuan'er about getting married, he wasn't interested at all.
Why did you suddenly figure it out now?
For this reason, he quickly inquired:
"May I ask, sir, which young lady did His Majesty betroth to Marquis Xuan...Xuan Yong?"
