Chapter 249 Come to the door
Swish!
While they were talking, two figures, as if teleporting, walked directly into the hall from the door of the mansion.
Both of them were wearing black robes.
One of them had a thick beard.
In his hand, he held a glowing jade pendant.
If you look closely, you will find that this glowing jade pendant is the lower body of the Pixiu!
Together with the piece in Li Xiuning's hand, it can form a whole piece!
His entire body exudes a masculine aura!
"Zheng Tong!"
Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes flashed as she looked at the person who came.
"General Zheng Tong pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Zheng Tong saw Li Xiuning at a glance. Seeing that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately knelt on one knee with his head lowered, and the person behind him also knelt down.
What surprised Chen Xuan was that the person following Zheng Tong was also King Wu!
The dignified King of Martial Arts was actually just a follower!
"No need to be polite, just get up."
Li Xiuning raised her hand and made a gesture to help him up.
Zheng Tong stood up immediately.
The next moment, his eyes were fixed directly on Chen Xuan.
"Princess, could this person be the criminal that the Chen clan betrothed you to?"
Zheng Tong spoke in a cold voice.
"You know everything?" Li Xiuning was a little surprised.
But on second thought, with Zheng Tong's ability, it would not be difficult to find out these things.
"This is outrageous! The people of Daqian are simply going too far! What right do they have to betroth my Tang princess to someone else?"
Zheng Tong was furious, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.
Li Xiuning shook his head slightly and said, "Daqian is indeed not qualified."
"Then Princess, I will kill this man right now!"
Zheng Tong showed his strong murderous intention towards Chen Xuan without any concealment.
Chen Xuan was suddenly shocked. Does this guy have bad intentions?
No wonder he has such murderous intent, it's because he has accumulated a lot of resentment!
If he really wants to attack me, I am no match for him and can only run away!
"What do you want to do?"
Just as Zheng Tong was about to attack Chen Xuan, Li Xiuning took a step forward, stretched out her arms, and blocked Chen Xuan directly. "Do you want to kill my husband?"
Zheng Tong was suddenly startled: "Husband?"
"Princess, didn't you marry him out of helplessness? How could you accept him as your husband? The Tang Emperor would never agree to this!"
Li Xiuning's face was solemn, and she said coldly, "I wasn't forced into this; I married him of my own free will. As for my father, I believe he would agree!"
"Impossible! Princess, you absolutely cannot be doing this voluntarily. You must be hiding something!" Zheng Tong couldn't believe it at all.
"I've already stressed repeatedly that I volunteered. Do you want me to say it over and over again?"
Li Xiuning's tone turned cold.
Those cold eyes were like ice knives stabbing into Zheng Tong's heart, making him feel as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
"From now on, I won't allow you to hurt him in the slightest. Otherwise, I will be irreconcilable with you!"
Li Xiuning spoke again. She could feel Zheng Tong's murderous intent towards Chen Xuan. Not only did it not weaken at all, but it became even stronger.
Zheng Tong said nothing.
Li Xiuning immediately emphasized, "I'm ordering you as the Princess of the Tang Dynasty. Do you hear me?"
Zheng Tong gritted his teeth and looked extremely unhappy, but he still didn't say anything.
"Are you going to disobey this princess's orders?!"
Li Xiuning's tone was cold and serious.
Although Zheng Tong was a general, he was not granted a title or appointed as a prime minister, nor did he become a king of a different surname in the Tang Dynasty!
Therefore, in terms of status, he is naturally far less noble than the princess!
If he disobeyed the princess's orders, he would be defying the royal authority.
Zheng Tong gritted his teeth, and the muscles on his face twitched, as if he was making a final struggle, but finally relaxed and said in a low voice
"The last general takes command!"
Seeing him finally lower his head, Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief.
After a pause, she continued, "From now on, he is the prince consort. His orders are equivalent to my orders. You must obey whatever he says!"
These words made Chen Xuan feel strange.
Have you become the royal consort now?
Zheng Tong suddenly looked up and stared at Chen Xuan, feeling very unwilling.
It would be fine if I didn't kill him, but he actually asked me to call him Prince Consort and listen to him?
This is simply unreasonable!
"Princess, I am a general of the Tang Kingdom. How can I obey the orders of Yu Daqian? It is impossible for me to listen to him!" Zheng Tong was firm.
Military generals are sometimes like this, with a single-minded mind.
And what they said does make sense.
Li Xiuning didn't make things difficult for him anymore. If she continued to force him, it would be her own fault for being ignorant.
"Okay, then you'll have to listen to me from now on."
At this time, Zheng Tong said coldly: "Princess, even if you regard this man as your consort, the Tang Emperor may not necessarily recognize him as his consort!"
The meaning is very clear. Treating Chen Xuan as a son-in-law is only Li Xiuning's one-sided decision.
With her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, Li Xiuning's final marriage can only be decided by the Emperor of Tang.
If the Emperor of Tang does not recognize Chen Xuan, then their engagement is invalid!
"Don't worry about that. My father will definitely recognize him." Li Xiuning said firmly.
"Him? A criminal exiled to the border by the Chen clan? Such a piece of trash is worthy of the Tang Emperor's favor?"
Zheng Tong showed a hint of disdain.
In his opinion, if Chen Xuan was of any use, he would not have been exiled so far away by the Chen clan.
Seeing him belittling Chen Xuan like this, Li Xiuning's face showed a trace of anger, and he said dissatisfiedly: "He came to the border on purpose, otherwise, the Chen clan would never have exiled him."
"Oh, really?"
Zheng Tong said sarcastically, "So what realm is he at now? A martial artist? Or a warrior? He definitely hasn't even reached the martial arts master realm yet. If he had reached the martial arts master realm at this age, he would have a certain status in the Chen clan and would not have been exiled."
"No matter how talented he is, he's only a ninth-rank warrior. Princess, oh princess, I really don't know what kind of magic potion he's poured into you. How can a useless warrior protect you?"
Li Xiuning immediately retorted, "Who told you he was a warrior?"
"Not a warrior? Could it be that he is a martial arts master?"
Zheng Tong was a little surprised, but soon, this surprise turned into disdain.
"Even if he is a martial artist, so what? In today's world, martial artists are as numerous as dogs, and martial artists are everywhere."
"He was just a martial artist, and he was killed at any moment. He treated human life as worthless. He had no way of protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Li Xiuning frowned again. She was very dissatisfied with Zheng Tong's attitude. She said coldly, "Who told you he was a martial arts master?"
