Chapter 109 Wang Zhenchuan 18

Zhenchuan looked down on people like Wang Baochuan who only complained endlessly but never took any practical action. She really didn't want to interfere in Wang Baochuan's affairs. After all, no matter what the outcome was, it was Wang Baochuan's own choice and she should bear all the consequences of her choice.

......

At the same time, Dai Zhan and Lina on the other side disguised themselves as ordinary soldiers and closely followed Ling Xiao's team that came to pay tribute from Xiliang. After a long journey, they finally caught up with Ling Xiao. When Ling Xiao saw Dai Zhan suddenly appearing in front of him, he was shocked and had no joy at all. Because he knew very well that Dai Zhan must have come for Xue Pinggui. So he immediately planned to send the two back to the country. However, Dai Zhan firmly opposed it. After all, she had not met Xue Pinggui in person so far. At this time, Lina stood up to explain the reason to Ling Xiao and expressed her hope to go to Datang together. In the end, under Lina's persuasion, Ling Xiao reluctantly agreed to this request, but at the same time he also proposed three rules as conditions.

Snowflakes were floating in the sky, falling down one after another, as if covering the whole world with a white veil. Dai Zhan looked at Ling Xiao with concern, and gently put a thick cloak on him. Ling Xiao took the cloak with a smile, and then carefully put it on Dai Zhan, making her feel endless warmth.

At this moment, Ling Xiao finally couldn't suppress his inner torment and mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to Dai Zhan. However, what he didn't expect was that Dai Zhan didn't accept his love. She only had a brother-sister relationship with Ling Xiao and never thought of going beyond this limit. What's more, Lina has always liked Ling Xiao secretly, and Dai Zhan hopes to make them happy. And she told Ling Xiao that she liked Xue Pinggui.

At this moment, Lina was holding another cloak in her hand, and was about to walk towards Ling Xiao to put it on him. But the scene in front of her made her stunned, and at the same time she also heard Ling Xiao's sincere confession. Her heart was in pain, and she was filled with sorrow and helplessness.

Time passed quickly, and soon after, the envoys from Xiliang arrived in Chang'an. Su Long, as the official in charge of receiving the envoys, personally met Ling Xiao from Xiliang. When the two met, the atmosphere was tense and solemn. Each of them represented their own country, and the words were tit-for-tat, and neither side gave in.

After a fierce battle, Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh: "The Tang Dynasty is indeed full of talented people." However, Dai Zhan disagreed. She firmly believed that there would be no one in the Tang Dynasty who could tame the world-famous red-maned horse. But Ling Xiao had a different view. He believed that the Tang Dynasty was vast and rich in resources, and there might be such a person, so he should not be underestimated.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was blowing. Wang Yun, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, sat in the main hall of the mansion and solemnly received Ling Xiao, who had come from afar. He asked Ling Xiao with concern whether he had a safe and smooth journey and whether he had any discomfort. Ling Xiao smiled and replied, "Thanks to the prime minister's concern, everything is fine. This time, thanks to General Su's careful arrangements, everything is in order."

Then, Ling Xiao changed the subject and mentioned the precious gift they presented - a red-maned horse. It is said that this horse has a fierce temperament, and only those who can tame it can get such a generous gift. Hearing this, Wei Hu and Su Long were eager to try and show their skills, but the result was not satisfactory. Not only did they fail to successfully subdue the red-maned horse, but they returned with serious injuries.

Wang Yun saw this scene and could not help but feel angry. He felt that the Tang Dynasty had lost face in front of the Xiliang envoys and damaged the dignity of the country. He was so angry that his face turned blue. Back in the mansion, Wang Yun drank alone in a depressed mood. Seeing their father so sad, the three sisters Wang Jinchuan, Wang Yinchuan and Zhenchuan were filled with worry.

Zhenchuan comforted Wang Yun, saying, "Don't worry too much, Dad. This incident must have been planned by the Western Liang Kingdom. We were not fully prepared in advance, so it is reasonable that we failed." Yinchuan then had an idea and suggested, "Why not post a notice and invite heroes from all over the world to come and give it a try. If anyone can tame the red-maned horse, he will be rewarded with a high position and generous salary. In this way, we may be able to save the situation." Upon hearing this, Wang Yun nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval.

At this time, Wang Baochuan also came to visit her injured brother-in-law Su Long. Su Long felt guilty for not being able to tame the red-maned horse and was ashamed to face everyone. Wang Baochuan comforted him softly, "Brother-in-law, please don't blame yourself. Take care of yourself. I believe there will always be a way to solve the current predicament."

As the day of the Dragon's Head Rises draws near, Wang Baochuan's search for a husband is about to begin. Wang Yun is looking forward to his daughter finding a suitable husband, preferably one who can help him.

Jinchuan comforted him, "Daddy, please relax. February 2nd is coming soon. With Baochuan's talent and beauty, she will definitely find a good husband." However, this statement did not attract the support of Wang Yinchuan and Zhenchuan. They seemed indifferent to it and did not want to get involved.

Su Long was suspicious, thinking that all this was a trap set by the Western Liang Kingdom to find out the details of the Tang Dynasty. So he quickly obtained permission from the higher-ups and posted the imperial edict, hoping that a master could subdue the fierce red-maned horse.

Wang Baochuan knew that this event was of great significance and would attract attention from all sides. She secretly thought that perhaps this would become a turning point and a good opportunity for Xue Pinggui to emerge.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the rumors from the outside world, Wang Yun hurried to Wang Baochuan's boudoir with Mrs. Wang.

"Baochuan! Are you still thinking about Xue Pinggui?" Wang Yun frowned and asked earnestly.

Wang Baochuan nodded without hesitation and responded: "Yes, father, I do love Master Xue."

Wang Yun was furious after hearing this, and his voice unconsciously rose eight degrees: "What? You actually like a beggar who has nothing! What virtue or ability does he have to make you so obsessed with him? Now our Xiangfu has suffered disgrace because of him!"

Seeing that Wang Yun was angry, Mrs. Wang and Wang Jinchuan, who arrived later, hurried forward to comfort him. At the same time, they also did not forget to defend Wang Baochuan to avoid a quarrel between the two.

Wang Baochuan burst into tears and said firmly: "Daddy, please don't blame my daughter. Master Xue is upright, honest, kind and chivalrous. Most importantly, he once saved my daughter's life. In addition, Master Xue is open-minded, kind-hearted and gentle. Not only is he skilled in martial arts, he also treats my daughter with great care and love."
