Chapter 198: Give a betrothal gift and marry me
That day, Zhu Chenluo and Shen Lang chatted until late at night before leaving.
Shen Lang held a wine jug and sat alone in the back garden of his mansion, drinking by himself .
"General, are you worried about something?" Huo Wuxin walked out from the darkness, dressed in a white robe, like an immortal.
Shen Lang smiled faintly, handed Huo Wuxin a wine glass, and said, "How have you been recently? Are you okay?"
Huo Wuxin took the wine glass, raised his head and drank it all, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's boring. I still like the feeling of fighting on the battlefield. Even though I will die, it makes my blood boil!"
"Have you ever thought about starting a family?" Shen Lang asked while sitting on a stone chair.
Huo Wuxin shook his head: "If I tell you this, the general may not believe it. I am not interested in women at all!"
Shen Lang was stunned: "Have you been injured before?"
"Forehead!"
"No, I'm just not interested in women!" Huo Wuxin smiled helplessly, fearing that Shen Lang would think wrongly.
"This is the first time I've seen a man who is not interested in women!" Shen Lang did not doubt him, drank a glass, and said, "What's the situation in Nanyue Empire now?"
"Very calm. After Wanyan Rulie returned, he began to reorganize the country. After all, he is now just a commander without troops, and everything has to start from scratch!" Huo Wuxin spoke truthfully.
"Is there any movement from the Kingdom of Duin?" Shen Lang nodded and continued speaking.
"No, the border troops are very calm and there is no movement at all. It seems that they are not interested in the Nanyue Empire now!" Huo Wuxin pondered for a moment and continued speaking.
"Perhaps, the Nanyue Empire has lost its appeal to the Duin Kingdom now!" Huo Wuxin added at the end.
Shen Lang pondered for a moment: "Be careful, I always feel that there is something fishy going on in the Kingdom of Duyin. Now the national strength of the Nanyue Empire is not as great as before. If you are not tempted by such a rich land, it may all be an illusion!"
"Yes, General, I will redeploy after I return!" Huo Wuxin nodded.
"good!"
Looking at the crescent moon in the night sky, Shen Lang suddenly said, "If I go to the Nanyue Empire, do you think Wanyan Rulie will welcome me?"
After hearing this, Huo Wuxin was stunned for a long time, then slowly said, "General, are you leaving Baiyun City?"
"It's almost there!" Shen Lang picked up the wine jug and took a sip: "It probably only takes a few days!"
"I have thought for a long time about where I should go to find a safe place!" Shen Lang smiled bitterly: "I actually found that the Nanyue Empire is the most suitable for me!"
Huo Wuxin looked at Shen Lang and said, "Maybe, that place is a good place to go!"
"The general is unrivalled in wisdom and courage, and is a rare talent wherever he goes!"
“No matter how high a dragon flies, it will eventually fall into the water. No matter how fast a phoenix flies, it will have to land and rest!” Shen Lang sighed and said, “I just don’t know if this green mountain is still the same green mountain, and if this water is still the water from my hometown!”
At the end of his speech, Shen Lang raised his head and poured all the wine in the pot into his throat. He wiped his mouth, patted Huo Wuxin on the shoulder, and said, "When I get over there, I'll probably come to you to have a drink!"
"If the general doesn't mind, you're most welcome!" Huo Wuxin grinned after hearing this.
…
Three days later, Shen Lang received the imperial edict.
The content of the imperial edict was exactly the same as what Zhu Chenluo had said. His father Shen Feng and his mother Liang Wanrong were not surprised at all, as if they had already expected it. Shen Lang was even more calm. He kowtowed in a very calm manner to express his gratitude, kept the envoy for a meal and a drink, and then sent him away.
At night, Shen Lang arrived at Wanyan Ruyu's room. At this time, Wanyan Ruyu had already gotten used to living with Shen Lang. She just told him to rest first and she would wash up and come later.
Shen Lang smiled slightly, walked behind Wanyan Ruyu, put his arms around her waist, and said, "Do you miss your father?"
Wanyan Ruyu smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Of course I miss you!"
"Oh!" Shen Lang leaned his head on Wanyan Ruyu's shoulder, tilted his head to look at Wanyan Ruyu's profile, and said with a smile: "Do you think my father-in-law will welcome me if I go to his place?"
Wanyan Ruyu was shocked when she heard this, her eyes sparkling: "Are you going to take me to see my father?"
“No, no, no!”
Shen Lang shook his head: "The whole family is going, I don't know if my father-in-law will welcome it!"
"Really?" Wanyan Ruyu's eyes were like stars in the sky: "Of course I welcome him, even though... even though he is my enemy, I am his daughter, how can I not welcome him as my son-in-law?"
"good!"
Shen Lang nodded: "Get ready, we'll set off in three days!"
After hearing this, Wanyan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and hugged Shen Lang excitedly: "Husband!"
"Oh, the wind in the room is too strong. I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again!" Shen Lang said with a smile.
"Dead look!"
…
The next morning, Shen Lang sent his butler to fetch Qingsi, Mingyue and Chang Rumo separately.
"Husband, do you miss me?" Mingyue was the first to arrive, and she was as happy as a little nightingale.
Not long after, Qingsi and Chang Rumo also arrived.
"Ladies, I have something to tell you!" Shen Lang asked the three ladies to sit down and said, "This matter is very serious, you need to make your own decision!"
The three girls looked at each other, somewhat confused.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Qingsi looked at Shen Lang puzzledly.
"After reading this, you will know!" Shen Lang placed the imperial edict in front of the three women.
After the three girls saw it, their faces all looked unhappy.
"In two days, I will go to the Nanyue Empire to hide!" Shen Lang held his chin with both hands, looked at the three ladies in front of him, and asked, "I don't know how long it will take to come back!"
"So, you called me, Sister Qingsi, and Sister Mingyue to ask us if we want to go with you, right?" Chang Rumo was very smart and guessed Shen Lang's thoughts immediately.
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes!"
The three women were silent, no one spoke.
This is a very difficult choice for them.
On one side is your husband, and on the other side is your family!
No matter which side you are with, you are destined to stay away from the other side!
As for how long, it all depends on God's will.
"Husband, I'll go with you!" Mingyue spoke first and reached out to hold Shen Lang's hand: "I am your wife, and we are engaged. Wherever you are, I will be there!"
Shen Lang smiled: "Okay!"
"I'll go with you too!" Qingsi smiled slightly, looked at Shen Lang and said, "Don't forget our agreement!"
"Of course I remember, of course I remember!" Shen Lang nodded.
Chang Rumo looked at Qingsi and Mingyue, then looked at Shen Lang, and asked, "Husband, I can accompany you too!"
"Really?" Shen Lang exclaimed in surprise.
Because among the three women, Chang Rumo is the most difficult!
Because she is so dazzling!
"Really!" Chang Rumo nodded and said, "But I have a request!"
"What request?" Shen Lang asked quickly.
"Give me a betrothal gift and marry me!"
