Chapter 80: Parents

Although Lixia's parents were poor, they were not panicked. They followed Huang Zhen into the inner hall. According to the etiquette taught by Huang Zhen, they knelt down and kowtowed to the Spirit Emperor, and said in unison: "Grass people pay homage to the Emperor."

The Emperor of Spirit stood up and walked up to the two of them, reached out to help Lixia's father Li Hewen up, and said with a smile: "Please get up, please, please, please."

He turned to say, "Give a seat."

After sitting down, the Linghuang smiled and said, "Lixia Bianguan has made great achievements and is famous all over the world. I have long wanted to meet the two of you, but I have been suffering from the lack of skills in my family. I am really lucky to have this opportunity today."

Li Hewen lowered his head and replied, "It is her blessing for the little girl to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. The emperor said so, and the people were panicked."

Emperor Ling said, "Mr. Li, don't worry too much. I invite you here today, because there is something to discuss. Li Xia is already in the year, and because of the war in the country, it is a mistake for the good times. The virtuous couple can have someone who is interested, so it is better to get married for Li Xia early."

Li Hewen was stunned and asked them to come for Li Xia's marriage. He hurriedly said: "But with the emperor's slaughter, the people will have no objection."

Emperor Ling smiled and said, "Mr. Li is wrong. Since ancient times, the marriage of children has been the order of their parents. How can I interfere with the words of the matchmaker? My intention is that Li Xia is a woman after all, and marriage matters should not be delayed. Now there are many talented people of the court at the right age, and wise couples should also pay more attention to Li Xia."

Liu said: "Reporting to the emperor, the civilian woman also asked Lixia. She fell in love with one of her senior brothers, but she didn't say who that adult was."

The Spirit Emperor smiled and nodded and said, "I also know about this. Li Xia's senior brother is Gu Du. He once fought with Li Xia in Rizhaoguan to seize the commander. However, Gu Du got married last year. His wife is Jin Lan, and she is also a soul master. She just gave birth to a child a few days ago."

"So this marriage is not done. Li Xia's pillars are brave and good at fighting. They are not as good as men. They will never be concubines with others, right? Even if the virtuous couple and Li Xia don't mind, then Jin Lan will not agree."

Liu turned his face in shock and looked at Li Hewen. Li Hewen raised his hand to greet him and said, "Please tell me clearly what the people should do."

Linghuang smiled and said, "Because Jin Lan gave birth to a child in Zhenbei Pass, Lixia asked to transfer to Zhenbei Pass to guard the border. My intention was to ask the virtuous couple to work hard and go to Zhenbei Pass to persuade Lixia not to be obsessed with the old feelings anymore, so as not to have rifts between colleagues, and it is not a blessing for both public and private."

Lihewen said: "The people who are in charge of the order will go back immediately to pack their bags and go to Zhenbei Pass."

The Emperor Ling smiled and said, "Here I go to Zhenbeiguan, the mountains and rivers are far away. How can I let the Xian couple walk alone? The Xian couple go back to clean up. I ordered someone to escort the Xian couple."

Li Hewen replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When she returned home, Liu asked Lihewen: "His father, do you think this child is crazy? She is still so shameless about going up, even the emperor is embarrassed for her."

Li Hewen said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense. Xia'er is not an ordinary woman. Even the emperor said that she is brave and good at fighting, and is as good as a man. You have to ask in person about this matter. You should pack your luggage quickly."

Zhenbei Pass, with Lixia accompanying Jin Lan, Gu Du began to go out to inspect the pass again and again. The front of the border river was more than ten miles, and it was more than five feet wide. Gu Du walked along the border river east and west sides, without seeing the beginning and end. This border river was probably more than a hundred miles long, or even hundreds of miles.

The border river was still unable to approach, and the enemy deployed heavy troops in the front, not only crossbowmen, but also catapults.

Gu Du had a premonition that Emperor Ze had returned to the grassland, and even the city walls had been almost built, otherwise the enemy would not have set up a formation that was facing a great enemy.

After returning from the inspection that day, Jin Lan said to him: "Husband, Lixia's parents are here."

Gu Du was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and then said, "Come on, come, are you saying I should go to see you?"

Jin Lan waved, Gu Du walked to the edge of the couch and sat down. Jin Lan whispered: "They did not come by themselves, they were escorted by officers and soldiers, so there must be something wrong."

Gu Du frowned slightly. It was human nature to see his daughter, but with the identity of the Li couple, it was impossible for officers and soldiers to escort them. Since there were officers and soldiers to escort them, they should have been ordered, but I don’t know who was ordered to take it.

Gu Du asked, "I'll go and have a look?"

Jin Lan shook her head and replied, "Don't go, you go and have a drink with the general. Unless Li Xia comes to you, you can stay with the general and don't show up."

Gu Du frowned and asked, "Why?"

Jin Lan said: "You are resourceful, but you are all used to big things. If you listen to mine, go quickly."

Gu Du said, "You have to tell me why, right? This is unclear. If the general asks, what will I say?"

Jin Lan replied: "I just don't know it now. If I know it, I will tell you. If the general asks, just say it, I asked you to hide."

"Okay." Gu Du nodded, stood up and left.

Wu Renxiong arranged a house for the Li family and his wife, and ordered the soldiers to help clean it. After cleaning up, the soldiers left. Lihewencai said, "Xia'er, come and sit down. Dad has something to ask you."

Li Xia said: "My parents are working hard all the way, so let's take a break first. Besides, Jin Lan has to take care of her. Her daughter is going back and will come to visit her parents tomorrow."

Liu scolded: "What are you taking care of? Other people's wife and children want you to take care of?"

Li Xia said coldly: "Don't talk like this, mom, this is Zhenbei Pass, my daughter is responsible for guarding the border with her shoulders, and Jin Lan is a comrade with me, and my parents are common people, so you should not speak nonsense. If someone hears it, wouldn't it make me and Jin Lan have a rift?"

Liu looked at Li Hewen and shouted, "Listen to what she said, how dare you teach me a lesson!"

Li Hewen scolded: "Don't be clamoring!"

Liu was stunned. Li Hewen lowered his voice and scolded: "Xia'er is now very responsible and responsible. She is not an ordinary woman who cares for her husband and children at home. You are so noisy in the army that those soldiers can hear. What kind of prestige does Xia'er have? She wants to lead troops to fight. Do you think she knows some family matters like you?"

Liu sat down angrily, turned his face to the side, and ignored the father and daughter.

Li Hewen said: "Xia'er, Dad knows that you are busy with everything, but Dad does have important things to ask you. You can sit down and you won't be able to miss your time."

Li Xia sat down, and Li Hewen asked, "Xia'er, Jin Lan's husband, is the senior brother you love?"

Li Xia asked back: "How do dad know?"

Li Hewen said: "You only say yes or no."

Lixia replied: "Yes."

Liu shouted, "Listen! She really has the attitude to say it!"

Li Hewen slammed the table suddenly and shouted: "Shut up!"
