Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

Chapter 199 Xinyue Wants to Regret

Xuan originally wanted to write a letter back to tell King Xiyan that the Fifth Prince Shi Ran was not killed by Xiaoyao, but just as he was about to send someone to deliver the letter, someone came to report that King Xiyan had sent General Yinglong to take over his affairs, and he was urgently summoned back.

In a guest room in Chenyi City

"Tu Shanjing, Xiaoyao is surrounded by so many experts, how can you kill her? If we can't solve this problem together, there will be endless troubles!"

"What's the rush? It'll be soon!"

"What should I do with my brother? He doesn't know anything yet!"

"What do you want him to know?"

Xinyue fell silent. I regretted it. Maybe if I had begged Xiaoyao, she might have let me go. But now, she's already involved, and Tushan Jing's chances of winning are slim. The Tushan family is finished!

Xinyue came back with a worried look on her face and happened to meet Fenglong who had also returned.

The two of them came to an empty pavilion and sat down. Feng Long then asked about Xinyue. She had been going out early and coming back late these days, and no one knew what she was doing!

"Xinyue, where have you been? Xuanxuan has returned to Xiyan. He asked me to tell you..."

"I understand, brother. Are you still going to support Xuan? What if he loses?"

Xinyue interrupted Fenglong and said that given the current situation, it seemed that it didn't matter whether they supported it or not.

"Xinyue, what nonsense are you talking about? Xiyan only has Xuanxuan left now. Who else can the King of Xiyan choose besides him? I have to thank the people who killed the Fifth King Shi Ran. They solved all the troubles at once. Soon Xuanxuan will be able to succeed to the throne. Xinyue, haven't you always wanted to marry Xuanxuan? Then you will be the most honorable queen! My brother will be the general, and in the future..."

Xinyue asked quietly: "Brother, are you planning to unify the world?"

Feng Long was a little surprised that Xin Yue actually knew their plan. He looked around and saw no one, but nodded.

"Brother, what if we fail? Xiaoyao has already stood with Chen Rong, which means she and Xixuan are destined to be on opposite sides. Now that Hao Ling has joined forces with Chen Rong's righteous army, Xiyan is no match for him. Brother, let's ignore him, okay? I don't want to get married! I don't like him anymore!"

Xinyue was really scared. Today, when she saw the heads all over the ground, she was terrified. Xiangliu, Rushou and others tried their best to protect Xiaoyao, and King Haoling was fully prepared. How could they win!

Feng Long glanced at Xin Yue with complicated eyes. Now it was not a question of whether she liked it or not. If Xuan became the emperor, he would definitely have a queen. In order to win back the hearts of the people in the Central Plains, he would definitely make Xin Yue the queen.

"Xinyue..."

"Okay, brother, you don't have to say anything, I understand!"

They were both silent for a long time. A cold wind blew past, making Xinyue shiver. She gathered her collar with both hands and exhaled a breath of cold air.

As if remembering something, he said anxiously, "Brother, Xiaoyao can't possibly like you. Don't even think about it. She's always liked Xiangliu, and the Xiaoliu who lived with us before was Xiangliu."

"I understand. Xuan has already said it. I didn't say I had to marry her. I'm not the kind of person who would forcibly take someone else's wife."

"Brother, aren't you angry that she lied to you?"

"That's not cheating at all. She never said she liked me. It's just a little regretful!"

He had originally thought that marrying Xiaoyao would benefit both him and Xuanxuan, and he was very fond of Xiaoyao... Never mind... He had seen Xiaoyao and Fangfengbei kissing...

The next morning, at the gate of Yan Mo's residence

Yinglong clasped his fists and asked politely, "Excuse me, does Princess Haoling live here? I am Yinglong, and I would like to see the Princess!"

"General, wait a moment! I'll go and inform them right away."

After a while, Xiaoyao came out to greet

"Uncle Yinglong, you came just in time. Someone was just talking about you!"

Yinglong was a little surprised that Princess Haoling was so affectionate to him. They had never even spoken a word to each other before. In Xiyan, Yinglong had only seen Xiaoyao from a distance a few times.

"You are too kind, Princess Wang. I wonder who would be talking about me?"

"You'll know when it arrives!"

Xiaoyao led the way in front, and Yinglong followed closely. Along the way, they were surrounded by demons. Some were eating fruits, some were playing and chatting together, and some were lying on trees to sleep. Wherever they went, the demons enthusiastically called Xiaoyao "Princess", and Xiaoyao responded with a smile.

Yinglong clearly felt that these monsters were not at all uncomfortable and were quite casual, but the look they gave Xiaoyao was more of respect and admiration.

Maybe they were just used to this way of getting along. When he came here, he also inquired about what had happened recently and had some admiration for this princess. As a woman, she had the courage to fight against the royal power to protect the demon tribe. This was worthy of admiration. In a trance, he seemed to see the style of Princess Xuanyuan.

He still remembered that General Xiling Heng had greeted him in the same way. In her eyes, there was no discrimination against him as a member of the demon clan.

"We're here, let's go in!"

Xiaoyao blinked mysteriously and gestured for Yinglong to go in first. Yinglong was confused, but he still stepped in. He didn't feel any malicious intent. If someone wanted to harm him, he would have no chance of escaping once he entered this courtyard full of masters.

Seeing him go in, Xiaoyao quietly retreated

"General Wang Ji?! No, Princess Wang, please forgive my rudeness, but Princess Wang and General Wang Ji are too similar!"

He had heard a long time ago that King Hao Ling married a person who looked exactly like the eldest princess, but he still didn't believe it. Now that he saw her, even twins wouldn't be so similar.

Xiling Heng smiled bitterly and replied, "General Yinglong, it was indeed me..."

"What? Princess, are you kidding?"

Yinglong was genuinely frightened. Could it be that the princess had deceived him? But what good would it do to deceive him?

"Yinglong, I'm not kidding. Xiaoyao is Chichen and I's daughter. Back then, I should have perished together with Chichen, but Chichen saved me by exchanging his heart with the Pangu Bow. Three hundred years ago, Hall Master Yan entered the Chishui Desert to rescue me. For Xiaoyao, I married Shaohao..."

Yinglong finally believed that she was General Xiling Heng, but why...

"General, why don't you tell His Majesty that you are still alive? He will definitely be very happy. Now, the fifth and seventh kings are dead, and only His Highness Xuan is left. With your support, he will be much smoother..."

Even though there was only one person left, there weren't many people in the court who supported him. They were all remnants of the Five Kings and Seventh Kings! They didn't trust him, and it wouldn't be easy for him to succeed to the throne.

"Yinglong, Xiling Heng is dead. I have repaid all I owed to the people of Xiyan and the King of Xiyan. Now I am just Shaohao's wife and the mother of Xiaoyao and Wuyou. As for Xuanxuan... I'm sorry. Just treat your aunt as dead. Her life was saved by Master Yan and General Xiangliu. Her position is mine. I see you now as a former comrade-in-arms. Let's reminisce about the past. I no longer want to care about the affairs of the court. Let nature take its course!"

"Yes, Yinglong understands! I came here this time to find the little princess to convey His Majesty's intentions. I never thought that I would be able to meet the general. It is really a pleasant surprise!"

……

The two of them talked happily and never mentioned the affairs of the court again.

"Mother, it's time to eat. Uncle Yinglong, let's eat together!"

Xiling Heng also signaled Yinglong to join him, thinking that there was still an imperial decree that had not been told to the little princess, so he agreed.

When we arrived at the lobby, it was already full of people. They all stood up and greeted us warmly. Xiaoyao introduced Yinglong to them one by one.

"Uncle Yinglong, this is my husband, Chen Rong's military advisor Xiang Yao. This is my sister Yan Mo, also the head of the Shengdan Hall. This is my sister's husband Gui Fang, uh... Gui Fang Liu? He's used to wearing a mask, don't mind. This is Ru Shou, you must know him. This is my sister, Hao Ling Qing Yan, nicknamed Wu You. This is Fang Feng Yi Ying, the head of the Fang Feng family!"

Yinglong bowed to everyone one by one, secretly shocked. If this table of people went out, they could overturn the wilderness. Why did they sit together like this?

"I've heard so much about you. You're all big shots. I, Yinglong, am getting a little restless. Haha..."

Yan Mo gestured for Yinglong to sit down and be casual, no need to be restrained.

"General, you're welcome. Your presence here means you're trustworthy. I believe in Ah Heng's judgment. Let's eat first. Would you like a drink? I have some good wine that's not available for takeout. You'd be missing out if you don't try it!"

Yinglong sat down generously, without any nervousness. When he heard Yan Mo talking about wine, he smiled heartily: "Of course I have to try it! I am a wine lover! Maybe I will ask for a few bottles later! Haha!"

"The general is indeed a straightforward person!"

Yan Mo took out a few bottles of fruit wine from the space. These wines were brewed with fruits from the space. They were full of spiritual energy and added with a lot of natural treasures. Thinking back to the beginning, in order to learn how to brew wine, she probably visited local winemakers everywhere and promised them favors. Slowly learning how to brew, knowing that Xiang Liu loved wine, she tried to brew wine with various things, but it was not smooth sailing, and a lot of bad ones had to be thrown away.

Xiang Yao took it and poured a large bowl for Ying Long. The rich aroma of the wine immediately attracted all of Ying Long's attention. His nose moved slightly. He was not drunk yet, but he could not help it. He picked up the wine bowl and seemed reluctant to drink it all in one gulp. Ying Long took a sip and savored it carefully.

"It's really a good wine! It's mellow and sweet, refreshing and pleasant, with a rich aroma. Just one sip and I feel refreshed and comfortable all over. What kind of wine is this that contains such rich spiritual power! If I sell it, won't the buyers go crazy? It's really hard to find!"

"If you like, General, drink as much as you want. I'll give you enough!"

……

After having a good meal and a good drink, Xiaoyao asked Yinglong why he came to see him. Yinglong wanted to talk to Xiaoyao alone, but seeing that Xiaoyao insisted, he repeated what King Xiyan had said.

"I understand. Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip, General. I will seriously consider it."
