Chapter 139 The Cunning and Treacherous Shen Haisheng
This remark made everyone laugh.
The only one who felt awkward was Shen Lang, but he was also thick-skinned and immediately laughed: "Hey, Shen Miao, how could you be so rude? Where is Shen Ping? Master Xu has been waiting for so long and he still hasn't come to the banquet. What kind of steward is this!"
"Master, the Shen family has been negligent; we are truly sorry..."
Seeing that he had become so respectful, Xu Tianyi was naturally not an aggressive person.
I casually asked a question that had a deeper meaning:
"Oh, it's alright, it's alright. Lord Shen, are you planning to return to Zhongzhou after returning to Leizhou this time?"
This sentence is very simple, but it gets to the heart of the matter: Does your Shen family still have any plans to go back and serve the King of Qi?
Shen Lang's smile froze.
He then laughed loudly: "What are you saying, Master Xu? I came back for Miaomiao's wedding. I will not leave until Miaomiao's wedding is over."
Xu Tianyi laughed: "Oh, Miaomiao is engaged?"
Shen Miao was also dumbfounded: "Who is it? Who is it?! I didn't say I was going to get married!"
Shen Lang laughed and was about to speak when he felt a familiar pressure sweep over him. He stared stiffly at Xu Tianyi, then turned to look at the others.
Others did not seem to be oppressed.
He suddenly understood something.
"Um... Miaomiao is of marriageable age, it's time for her to get married, we're looking for someone right now..."
He gave an awkward laugh, intending to brush off the topic.
Xu Tianyi smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, I think Miaomiao is still young. Let her choose at her own pace. There's no rush..."
Shen Lang nodded quickly.
He could tell what Xu Tianyi meant; he really didn't want Shen Miao to marry Xu Tianyi.
Because Xu Tianyi was a prince consort, even if he had territory, he lacked a sense of righteousness and would ultimately have to rely on the crown prince to become nothing more than a prince consort who would marry a princess.
It would be better for Shen Miao to marry him as a concubine than to marry Yue Shan as his principal wife.
Hearing this, Shen Miao was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! Grandma can..."
"Master Xu!!"
Just as Shen Miaogang opened her mouth, a loud, elderly man's voice called out from the doorway.
Then, Shen Haisheng led Shen Ping in with great strides.
"Grandpa, it's been a long time. You're still as healthy as ever..."
Xu Tianyi went up to him with a big smile.
Shen Lang and the others also came to greet them.
"father……"
"grandfather……"
……
Shen Haisheng laughed heartily: "Miaomiao, come here..."
Shen Miao glared at him: "Old man, you lied to me again! I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Seeing Shen Miao talk back, Shen Haisheng was not angry. He smiled and slowly stepped forward, and soon sat down in the main seat under everyone's gaze.
"Please have a seat, everyone, no need to be shy..."
Shen Haisheng was all smiles, in a very good mood.
The reason he came out later was because Shen Ping was reporting the situation to him.
After hearing about Xu Tianyi's military prowess and learning that Xu Tianyi was rushing to assist the Shen family, he was naturally delighted.
The only thing that caused some unease was that Shen Miao and Xu Tianyi were too close.
However, in his mind, he was at least better than any bandit leader.
Shen Haisheng sent someone to notify Shen Miao to return, but they discovered that Shen Miao was often hanging out with Hu Wei.
He felt anxious and somewhat irritable, but he also thought that if this person could bring troops and had good command skills, he might consider letting him marry into the family, since the Shen family desperately needed a powerful general.
A powerful general.
Two words are essential.
Unexpectedly, Shen Miao returned alone. Clearly, that person was unreliable. Helpless, Shen Haisheng had no choice but to seek help from Xu Tianyi.
To his surprise, Xu Tianyi was powerful and had a strong ability to train troops. Even Yue Shan sent a general to him, which showed that Yue Shan thought highly of him.
Therefore, Shen Haisheng naturally valued him even more.
The only thing that bothered me was his identity.
After all, he was the princess's husband, a son-in-law who lived with his wife's family.
He then spoke up: "Prince Consort Xu, the Eldest Princess has not come?"
Xu Tianyi frowned slightly upon hearing this question.
It's been such a long, long time since I've heard anyone call me "Prince Consort."
The other party had called him "Master Xu" one moment, but now suddenly called him "Prince Consort" and even asked about the Eldest Princess.
The intention is already quite clear.
"I can make decisions regarding the affairs of the eleven counties in the Northwest. Please rest assured, Patriarch Shen."
Shen Haisheng smiled and glanced at Xu Tianyi.
The other party guessed one aspect of my meaning, but not the other.
He then continued, "I heard that the Prince Consort and my Miaomiao seem to have a very good relationship..."
Xu Tianyi immediately pondered the meaning of that sentence.
There was nothing I could do; I owed Old Man Shen too much, so I had to show him some respect.
But that's just how he talks; he makes you guess every single day.
When asked directly, he stopped talking and even secretly despised himself for being unskilled.
After several conversations, Xu Tianyi still chose to slowly probe him.
He continued to refer to himself as the Prince Consort, and then brought up his relationship with Shen Miao, clearly asking why he, as the Prince Consort, still had such a good relationship with Shen Miao.
Having come to this realization, Xu Tianyi was truly helpless.
Why can't you just say it directly instead of making me translate?
He immediately replied, "Shen Miao helped me with disaster relief and also helped me stabilize the Valley God Sect branch in Taikang County, which is why we have the current Valley God Sect leader, Xu Tianyi. So naturally, I am grateful to Miao Miao..."
Shen Haisheng understood immediately.
Xu Tianyi was saying that he was able to become the leader of the Valley God Sect because of the assistance of the Shen family, not because of his title as a prince consort.
Moreover, he has a strong liking for Shen Miao.
On the one hand, he expressed his noble character of being grateful and repaying kindness, and on the other hand, he expressed his identity as the master of the Northwest. Finally, he took the opportunity to express his interest in Shen Miao.
Shen Haisheng was very satisfied with his answer and burst into laughter: "That's really fate!"
"By the way, I've heard that Master Xu already has a method to deal with the bandits. I wonder if the Shen family has anything that can help?"
Xu Tianyi continued to think.
He was saying that he also had the idea of marrying Shen Miao to him, but it mainly depended on fate.
At the same time, he wanted to see if his battle plan would be of enough benefit to the Shen family. If it was, the Shen family could help, and they might even consider marrying Shen Miao to him.
"Grandpa, this is Yue Pingzhi, the Grand General of the First Army of our Valley God Sect. The battle plan to resist the bandits was jointly formulated by him and General Yue Shan. But now that the Shen family is willing to assist, we will naturally revise the plan to strive for greater results."
After Xu Tianyi finished speaking, he immediately handed over a battle plan.
At the same time, he directly activated a projection spell to deploy the battle plan.
This combination of internal energy and magical manipulation left the Shen family dumbfounded.
Especially Shen Miao and Shen Haisheng.
Both of them knew what the projection meant.
This is extremely useful for craftsmen.
Yue Pingzhi immediately stood up and pointed to the projector to explain to Shen Haisheng and the others.
Operation Plan 1.0 is about to be revised, so it's natural to review it carefully.
Inside the Shen family's main hall, everyone began to listen attentively to the lecture.
On the other side, Xue Mantian saw Wuchen again.
