"Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke, I'm in big trouble!" In the courtyard of the special class, Ma Xiaoshu pulled Chen Ke into the woods and said in panic.
"What kind of disaster?" Chen Ke was surprised.
Ma Xiaoshu's clothes were wrinkled, his hair was messy, his eyes were red, and he looked like he hadn't slept well.
"Xiao Yunlong, Xiao Yunlong!" Ma Xiaoshu gritted his teeth, sighed, and felt remorseful. He was completely crazy.
Chen Ke secretly said, "You deserve it. Who told you to aid the enemy? How dare you turn your elbow outward and let others beat me down?"
"By the way, aren't you going to the capital? Yes, hurry up and leave. There's nothing here worth your nostalgia except me." Ma Xiaoshu was spinning in place, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke was speechless. This bastard was even more narcissistic than me.
Suddenly realizing something was wrong, Chen Ke asked in surprise, "Xiao Shu, how did you know I was going to the capital?"
Ma Xiaoshu said irritably, "My father told me so. He also said that once your marriage with the Princess of Qin is finalized, I might have to go to the capital too!"
Princess of Qin, what Princess of Qin?
Chen Ke was shocked and confused.
He reached out and tugged at Ma Xiaoshu's cheek: "You're still asleep, aren't you? Wake up, what's wrong with Princess Qin?"
Take your claws away!
Ma Xiaoshu pushed Chen Ke's hand away in dissatisfaction and looked at Chen Ke in surprise: "You don't even know your own wife?"
Yarn!
"Tell me quickly what your father said to you."
"You really don't know." Ma Xiaoshu looked at Chen Ke's annoyed face and was convinced.
He was not surprised. In a marriage, the interests of the family come first, and individuals have no say.
Ma Xiaoshu explained, "You know the Qin State, right? It's a vassal state of our Great Xia Dynasty in the northwest. Twenty years ago, the orc army marched south, and the capital of the Qin State was captured by the orc army. The state is now in name only."
Chen Ke frowned: "Princess of a fallen nation?"
"During the period of refuge in Daxia City, the Qin royal family gave birth to a Qin princess, so it can be considered as such."
Ma Xiaoshu looked at Chen Ke enviously, "Xiao Ke, don't underestimate her because she's a princess of a fallen nation. She's actually a relative of our Grand Empress Dowager. She's been pampered by both the Grand Empress Dowager and the Retired Emperor since she was little. I heard that the Duke of Qin is not only a beauty, but also talented. The nobles who want to marry her can line up from Meicheng to Daxia City!"
Chen Ke said with a straight face: "Such a beautiful lady would marry me?!"
Ma Xiaoshu nodded honestly: "I also think it's unreliable. I'm afraid your father and my father are just wishful thinking."
Ma Xiaoshu looked at Chen Ke worriedly again: "Xiao Ke, the news that your family is seeking to marry the Princess of Qin hasn't spread yet. Once it gets out, the capital will be a dangerous place for you. You should make plans early!"
Chen Ke frowned and said, "Are you saying that those guys who can't stand seeing cabbages being eaten by pigs will line up from Meicheng to Daxia City to deal with me?"
Yeah, Ma Xiaoshu nodded vigorously.
Chen Ke was in great pain. Why was it so difficult to live a peaceful life?
He could probably understand his father's painstaking efforts. A princess of a fallen country was still a princess, and the apple of the emperor's eye.
Once he successfully married the princess of Qin, it would be equivalent to finding a strong backer for the Chen family.
They are all related to each other, so the King of Shu would feel embarrassed to take action against the Chen family again, right?
Moreover, with this marriage relationship, he is at least half a royal relative. If the demon clan wants to harm him, they have to think twice.
Because of this, Chen Ke was not really that resistant to this marriage.
The Chen family needs a backer, and the Qin royal family probably also needs a lot of money to recruit soldiers and recover their territory.
In a marriage, both parties get what they need, and it is hard to say who is wronged.
So what if she is a princess? Just marry her and worship her like a bodhisattva. He can continue to do what he is supposed to do.
If the girl is obedient, everything will be fine. But if she is disobedient, everyone will act out a scene of drunken beating of the golden branch.
Having said that, Chen Ke still felt a little resentful towards his rich father.
For such a big thing, you should at least give me a heads-up in advance so that I can be mentally prepared, right?
Moreover, Chen Kesensen doubted his father's taste in choosing a daughter-in-law.
Like the daughter of the seventh-rank official before, what was her name? She is snobbish to the core.
Seeing that the Xu family fell and Xu Ziang was fired, her attitude immediately changed.
Some time ago, the woman actually ran to his house and said that she was still his fiancée in name and wanted to start over with him.
Fortunately, he was not at home at the time. If he was at home, he could have kicked that girl out.
Chen Ke was a little distracted, but Ma Xiaoshu started to get anxious again, running around like an ant on a hot pan.
The threat from the capital is far away after all, but the current threat is imminent.
Choose the lesser of two evils.
Ma Xiaoshu gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Ke, you'd better leave quickly. I know Xiao Yunlong has already beaten you up before, but I guess he's going to beat you up a second time soon, and it will be even more brutal!"
Chen Ke glanced at Ma Xiaoshu and said, "Just because you glanced at him a little longer in the crowd during the domino battle at the City Lord's Mansion?"
"Not only that, I even asked my idol, Big Brother Lu Lingfeng, to help him!" Ma Xiaoshu said, then suddenly felt something was wrong and stared at Chen Ke, "How did you know?"
Chen Ke was speechless. You bastard, are we fake childhood friends and brothers?
I have been reborn, I am handsome and elegant, and you didn't even notice it?
I'm just wearing a mask, how can you mistake me for someone else?
Chen Ke said unhappily, "Don't worry, he and I have reconciled, and he even sold me the space ring."
Tsk, you will die if you don't brag, Ma Xiaoshu rolled his eyes.
When his eyes rolled back, he saw a ring on Chen Ke's palm and was immediately stunned.
Chen Ke deliberately raised his hand and said leisurely: "Look carefully for me, what is this!"
"Really, it really is a space ring, exactly the same as the one my third uncle wears!" Ma Xiaoshu was extremely shocked and spoke incoherently.
Chen Ke was too lazy to talk nonsense and stuffed the ring into Ma Xiaoshu's hand: "Okay, this ring is for you. I bought an extra one."
Ma Xiaoshu stared at the space ring in his hand. When he looked up, he found that Chen Ke had already walked away.
Unable to contain his excitement, he gripped the ring tightly and shouted at Chen Ke's back, "Xiao Ke, no matter how much it cost, I will definitely return the money to you!"
Are you kidding? A space ring is a treasure that cannot be bought with money.
If they could buy it, the Ma family would be willing to sell everything they had.
When Chen Ke heard Ma Xiaoshu's shout, he waved his hand impatiently, walked across the small garden, and walked out of the back door of the special class.
A warrior approached, holding an invitation above his head, and said solemnly, "Mr. Chen, I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness the King of Shu to deliver this invitation to you."
