C2148 Lin Military City Li Clan
In the military city, in the Lee family, Zhou Yingxue was meeting with his father with the Li family's patriarch.
"Zhou Family Head, why did you suddenly pay a visit to my good friend?" Looking at the Zhou family's Patriarch, the Li family's Patriarch, Li Jingyi, had some doubts.
"Chief Lee, actually, other than visiting your old friend, I want to discuss something else with you." The Zhou Family's Patriarch, Zhou Hao, laughed.
"Discussing what?" Li Jinyi asked doubtfully.
"This matter is related to my daughter. My daughter has already reached the age of marriage, as her father, I am naturally anxious for her." Zhou Hao said.
"Zhou Clan Head, there are so many clans in the Imperial City, have you found anything suitable?" Li Jingyi was still puzzled.
He couldn't figure it out. With Zhou Yingxue and her beauty, she wouldn't be unable to find a suitable husband.
"Master Li, it's not that you can't find him, it's just that my daughter rejected all the previous attempts, and now I can't find him anymore. I've seen your third son, Li Yun, before, and I think he's talented and good-looking, so I brought my daughter here in hopes that you can arrange a match." Zhou Hao laughed.
"My son is afraid that Miss Zhou will not like him." Li Jin Yi could not help but look at Zhou Yingxue.
In his heart, he truly believed that his son was not worthy of Zhou Yingxue, not to mention that Zhou Yingxue had rejected so many people in the Imperial City.
"My family's young lady has already been enlightened. As long as we can find a good family, it's fine. As for your family's Li Yun, he's completely compatible with her." Zhou Hao laughed.
"Oh, Miss Zhou, is what your father said true?" Li Jingyi looked towards Zhou Yingxue.
"Uncle Li, Father's words are true. If Young Master Li Yun is able to marry this little girl, this little girl will definitely not refuse." Zhou Yingxue nodded.
Her face was expressionless, and Li Jinyi could not see any trace of happiness on her face.
It seemed like Lady Zhou had been forced by Zhou Hao, Li Jinyi guessed in his heart.
However, since Zhou Yingxue and Zhou Hao had already said so, he naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, the Zhou family was a large family in the Imperial City, and they were much stronger than his Li family.
What's more, Zhou Yingxue was so outstanding.
Therefore, after a short pause, he nodded his head and said, "Since Clan Head Zhou and Lady Zhou are so friendly, I agree to this marriage. I will immediately get someone to call Li Yun over!"
With that, he turned to the servants outside. "Get the third young master over here!"
"Yes, old master!" The servant outside acknowledged and then quickly left.
Before long, a young man in his twenties walked into the hall.
The moment he entered, he looked at Zhou Hao, Zhou Yingxue, and the others. When his gaze landed on Zhou Yingxue's face, his heart immediately thumped loudly, because Zhou Yingxue was just too beautiful.
Who was this girl? How could she be so beautiful? Was the man beside her her her father? Such a thought flashed through his mind.
The last time he saw Zhou Hao was many years ago, when Zhou Hao was still unbearded. Now that Zhou Hao had grown a beard, and his appearance had changed greatly from before, how could he recognize him?
"Greetings, father. Greetings, uncle and lady." He bowed and said in an extremely courteous manner.
"Master Zhou, this is my son ? "Yun`er, this is the uncle Zhou Hao of the Zhou Family that I have been telling you about often." Li Jingyi introduced with a smile.
"Greetings, Uncle Zhou." Hearing that it was Zhou Hao, Li Yun became even more respectful.
"As for this person, he is your uncle Zhou's daughter, the young miss of the Zhou family, Zhou Yingxue." Li Jingyi continued.
"So it's Miss Zhou. No wonder she was so beautiful." Li Yun could not help but praise him.
"Yes, we greet Young Master Li Yun." Zhou Yingxue replied courteously.
This Li Yun is a genius, but unfortunately, I already have someone else in my heart and can't tolerate anyone. This thought flashed through Zhou Yanxue's mind.
The so called other person was naturally Lin Long. Being together with Lin Long for so long, Lin Long's image had long been deeply ingrained in her heart.
Even if she knew that there would be no results if she followed Lin Long, she could not erase Lin Long from her heart.
Therefore, no matter how much her father tried to introduce her, she wouldn't budge an inch.
This time it was completely Zhou Hao who forced her to come, otherwise she wouldn't have come.
"Yun'er, if your Uncle Zhou wishes to betroth Miss Zhou to you, are you willing?" At this moment, Li Jingyi suddenly said.
Promise me? Hearing this, Li Yun was completely stunned.
Even though he thought Zhou Yingxue was beautiful, even though he had fallen in love with her as soon as he saw her, Li Yun knew the difference between the Zhou family and his own Li family. He also knew the difference between Zhou Yingxue and himself, so he didn't have any presumptuous thoughts.
Thus, he was shocked when he heard his father's words.
It was as if a huge pie had fallen from the sky and landed on him.
"Father, you ? What did you say? " He was afraid that he had misheard, so he could not help but ask this question.
"I mean, if your Uncle Zhou wants to betroth Lady Zhou to you, are you willing?" Li Jingyi could only repeat himself.
"I am willing ? "Of course I'm willing!" Li Yun said without hesitation.
As he said these words, he really didn't understand why the Zhou family would choose him, and why Zhou Yingxue would agree.
"That's good. Then it's decided. Our two families will choose a good day to marry them." Zhou Hao laughed.
"It just so happens that I've already gotten someone to calculate that it's a lucky day three days from now, so we might as well get married on that day." Li Jingyi immediately said.
He knew that this sort of matter was too important to his Li family, so how could he delay it? He chose to directly choose three days later.
"Alright, then three days later." Zhou Hao immediately nodded. He knew that it would be a lucky day in three days.
"It's a deal." Li Jinyi could not help but laugh out loud.
Hearing that it was already decided, Zhou Yingxue momentarily felt empty in his heart. An indescribable feeling of worry surged through his heart.
His life was decided just like that ? Lin Gongzi, goodbye. Such a thought flashed through Zhou Yingxue's mind.
"Yun'er, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and bring Miss Zhou around to familiarize yourself with our Li family's environment ?" As for the other things, your Uncle Zhou and I will discuss them in detail. " Soon after, Li Jingyi looked towards Li Yunyi.
Li Yun hurriedly looked towards Zhou Yingxue and said, "Miss Zhou, come with me to our Li family for a walk."
"Yes." Zhou Yingxue responded and then stood up.
Her expressionless face made Li Yun feel that something was wrong. However, since the Lord had already settled the matter, why would he care so much? He could just return with a beauty in his arms.
Just as he was about to bring Zhou Yingxue out and get closer to their relationship, a Li family servant ran in frantically.
"Why does he look so flustered? What happened?" Li Jingyi frowned and hurriedly asked.
"Master, General Meng from the Imperial City has brought some people to our Li Clan ?" The person said while panting heavily.
"General Meng? Are you sure that they are from the Imperial City? " Li Jinyi could not help but ask.
His Li family was only a clan within the army, so he didn't think that he would be able to alarm the Emperor and get the Emperor to send such a person over.
"He's indeed from the Imperial City, he has the medallion of the Emperor in his hands." Then he said.
Hearing that there was a command medallion, Li Jinyi quickly said, "Then quickly take me out ?"
As he spoke, he had already walked out. Just as he took two steps, he stopped and turned back to look at Zhou Hao, "Zhou Family Head, you and Lady Zhou move aside first. We'll meet again after I've met that General Meng."
"Yes." Zhou Hao nodded in agreement.
Only then did Li Jingyi continue to head out.
Before he could even reach the door, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside, and then a group of people appeared outside.
Li Jinyi saw that the person in front was dressed in the uniform of a high-ranking officer of the imperial city. It was obvious that this person was the General Meng from the servants' group.
"Greetings, General Meng." Li Jingyi hurriedly cupped his hands.
General Meng ignored him and looked towards the main hall. When he saw Zhou Hao and Zhou Yingxue, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He had come here for Zhou Hao and Zhou Yingxue, so he was naturally happy to see them.
"Is Master Zhou and Lady Zhou here as guests today?" General Meng asked.
"Yes, they just arrived." Li Jingyi replied.
Were they here for Zhou Hao and Zhou Yingxue? Such a thought flashed through his mind.
"Is that so?" General Meng said.
As he walked into the hall, an elder followed him into it.
These two people were the people the Emperor had sent over. The old man was that Old He.
"Greetings, General Meng!" Zhou Hao and Zhou Yingxue, who were inside, quickly replied.
Li Jinyi didn't recognize General Meng, but they did.
"General Meng, what are you doing here today?" Li Jinyi, who had followed him in, hurriedly asked.
Not only was he puzzled, Zhou Hao and Zhou Yingxue also did not understand.
"Today, I came here uninvited because of the Zhou family's head and Lady Zhou." General Meng went straight to the point.
Zhou Hao was shocked and quickly asked, "For us? I wonder why? "
"It's simple, His Majesty found out that you two are very close to Qian Jiayi, so he wanted us to bring you guys back for questioning." General Meng said.
"General Meng, our Zhou family might have some connections with the Qian family, but we've cut off all connections after they met with trouble." Zhou Hao quickly said.
"Actually, this is mainly because of Lady Zhou Yingxue." Elder He said.
"Because of my daughter?" Zhou Hao was stunned. He glanced at Zhou Yingxue and quickly said, "My daughter was indeed on good terms with Qian Jiayi previously, but that was before the Qian family was taken care of. After the incident with the Qian family, she didn't even see Qian Jiayi again ?" General Meng, Elder He, if she really sees them, she will definitely inform you two. "
"Yes, General Meng, I haven't seen Qian Jiayi for a long time." Zhou Yingxue also said.
"This actually has nothing to do with Qian Jiayi. It's mainly because of a person beside Qian Jiayi. That person's name is Lin Long, I believe you know of him, Miss Zhou." Old He said.
Lin Long! Hearing this, Zhou Yingxue's expression changed.
"I have no idea who that Lin Long is, and I have never seen my daughter, how could he be related to me in any way?" Zhou Hao quickly denied it.
"Let's put it this way, Miss Zhou had previously trained at the Mask Academy, and met that Lin Long there. She and Lin Long had even messed up the entire Mask Academy ?" Saying this, Elder He looked towards Zhou Yingxue and smiled, "Miss Zhou, don't you think that this old man is right?"2
Zhou Yingxue frowned. She could tell that the other party had already investigated thoroughly.
"Elder He, that's right, I do know that Lin Long." Zhou Yingxue replied.
Since the other party had investigated thoroughly and she knew that denying it was useless, she might as well admit it.
"Ying Xue, you really know that Lin Long?" Zhou Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Previously, he felt that something was amiss with Zhou Yingxue's foot, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen to the Zhou Family. Furthermore, he did not expect Lin Long to be related to Qian Jiayi.
"Father, this is real." Zhou Yingxue nodded, then turned and spoke to Old He and General Meng, "Old He, General Meng, this has nothing to do with the other members of the Zhou Family, it's just that I am personally connected to Lin Long. I hope you can let the other Zhou Family members go."
"Miss Zhou, we also wanted to let go of your Zhou family members, but His Majesty didn't agree." General Meng spread out his hands and spoke to his men with a cold expression, "Take them away!"
A few of his subordinates immediately walked in and took the spatial rings off Zhou Hao and Zhou Yingxue, and used a special rope to tie up their hands.
They weren't the only ones. The other Zhou family members who had followed them were also taken by these people.
Finally, General Meng looked at Li Jingyi and coldly said, "Chief Li, I hope you don't spread this matter. Otherwise, it will be of no benefit to your Li family."
"General Meng, I know." Li Jingyi quickly replied.
After that, General Meng and the others brought the Zhou family members and left the Li family estate.
Looking at the backs of these people walking away, Li Yun couldn't help but ask, "Father, is there any other marriage?"
Li Yun knew that it was already impossible for him and Zhou Yingxue to meet after such a thing happened, but he couldn't forget Zhou Yingxue who he had just met, so he subconsciously said such words.
"Yun'er, don't ever bring up this matter again. In the future, our Li family will no longer have any relationship with the Zhou family!" Li Jingyi said coldly.
Although he was worried for Zhou Hao, he did not want to bet the lives of everyone in the Li Family.
"Got it." Li Yun said with a dejected look.
General Meng and the others quickly left the Rainwater army.
They didn't know that a person was following closely behind them. This person wasn't far from them, but even the most powerful Elder He didn't notice his presence.
This person was none other than Lin Long who rushed over to the Rainfall Army City in a hurry after leaving the palace.
But he was still a step too late.
He had to think of a way to save the girls next week. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to save them when he reached the Imperial City! Looking at the people in front of him, Lin Long said in his heart.
However, it was very difficult to save Zhou Yingxue and the others right now, because there was one person who could activate the rank 6 Ice Talisman Paper, Old He.
Luckily Lin Long did not come alone, and had instead brought Qian Jiayi and the others with him. Otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult for him to save Zhou Yingxue and the others.
