Chapter 0166: Suppression by Force


Although Jin and Xi looked back frequently, and although Jing Xiaotian kept pushing through the crowded crowd to follow, the distance between them still gradually widened.

Jin Hexi and a group of heroes were taken directly to the palace to attend the celebration banquet, while Jing Xiaotian returned to Heming Villa alone.

At this time, Li Xinran ran to his father, King Rui Li Jue, and whispered something quietly.

King Rui made a slightly annoyed expression, scratched Li Xinran's nose with his hand, then laughed and nodded vigorously.

At the celebration banquet, Emperor Li Chen was delighted.

Since he succeeded to the throne, the country's power has gradually declined, and foreign enemies have provoked him from time to time.

This great victory inspired people internally, enhanced their prestige, and consolidated their status; externally, it suppressed the ambitions of neighboring countries, demonstrated the strength of the country, showcased the military talents of the Beiyuan Kingdom, and greatly deterred those speculators who were waiting for opportunities.

Therefore, he also drank happily from time to time.

When his face was red from drinking, he suddenly called Jin Hexi to his eyes, looked at him carefully, and then praised: "He is truly a talented person.

He is brave and resourceful.

At a young age, he has made outstanding achievements in battle and made the enemy frightened.

He is indeed a general who has not been seen in a century."

"Princess Xinran is my goddaughter.

Today I will betroth her to you and make you the consort of Beiyuan Kingdom."

After saying that, he looked at Jin Hexi with a smile, waiting to appreciate his flattered and overjoyed expression, waiting for his thanks.

However, after hearing this, Jin Hexi had an expression of horror and astonishment on his face, and he stood there blankly, speechless for a long time.

When his father, Jin Peng, saw him, he quickly reminded him: "Hurry up and kneel down to thank me."

Hearing this, Jin Hexi glanced at Jin Peng silently and knelt down numbly.

After opening his mouth several times, he finally said loudly: "Long live, I'm already engaged, I'm sorry to have to obey."

As soon as these words came out, the originally joyful and peaceful celebration banquet suddenly became silent.

The air seemed to be frozen, suddenly becoming cold and suffocating.

Emperor Li Chen glanced at Jin Hexi with some surprise.

He asked in a deep voice: "General Jin has an engagement.

But I don't know which lady the bride is for."

"This is my childhood sweetheart, Jing Xiaotian of Dalinzhuang."

Jin Hexi took the risk and reported Jing Xiaotian's name directly.

"Oh, then your marriage contract.

Does it have the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker?"

Emperor Li Chen suddenly showed a playful smile on his face, teasing Jin Hexi like a cat playing with a mouse.

Jin Hexi was about to speak.

Jin Peng was already shouting angrily: "You traitor, you are definitely not engaged.

I don't know why you dare to say the kid's jokes in front of Long Live.

You are looking for someone who will die and you don't know how to appreciate it.

Why don't you kowtow to express gratitude quickly?"

"Jin Aiqing, don't be anxious.

Your son dares to be in front of me.

He frankly talks about childhood jokes and never forgets his old friends.

He is a person who values ​​affection and righteousness.

It is also very valuable, and it makes people look at him differently."

Li Chen's marriage proposal was rejected.

Not only was he not annoyed, but he felt that Jin Hexi was someone worth trusting.

Seeing this scene, Li Xinran was afraid that the emperor would change his mind, but he did not want to avoid suspicion, so he quickly interrupted: "Jin Hexi, that Jing family's Xiaotian is the owner of Heming Villa."

Jin Hexi glanced at Li Xinran and replied, "That's exactly the person."

"She used to be a native of Dalinzhuang, but now she is the well-known Ziyang Lord of Andai.

General Jin must not know about this."

Li Xinran said angrily.

When Emperor Li Chen heard this, his face could not help but darken.

He did not allow Jin Hexi to explain, but he said categorically: "General Jin and the Jing family are just privately engaged for life.

Such childish jokes are not counted.

I just asked Your father has already agreed to the marriage, and if you continue to talk about it, you are disobeying the order. " When Jin Hexi heard this, he immediately glanced at Jin Peng and saw that his face was livid and his eyes were full of anxiety, and he knew that Li Chen's words were true.

If he really offended him, it would be a crime for everyone to be executed.

Power is at hand, and there is no choice.

Jin Hexi could only kneel on the ground and thank the Holy Grace.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Li Xinran felt a stone fall from his heart.

Then he thought angrily: How dare you mention Jing Xiaotian in front of so many people and slander me?

I must make her look good.

Jin Hexi kowtowed and thanked her, indicating that he had agreed to the marriage, which made him feel as if he had swallowed a fly.

He felt very sorry for Jing Xiaotian, and he didn't know how to face her, or how to tell Jing Xiaotian about this.

But in a certain corner of his heart, there was a hint of luck, maybe Jing Xiaotian would accept this reality, stay silently regardless of his name, and always maintain a close relationship with him.

Jin Hexi was so worried that he couldn't help but drink.

At the end of the banquet, he was so drunk that he didn't know how he got home.

At dawn, Jin Hexi suddenly woke up and recalled the scene at the celebration banquet.

He was heartbroken and could not sit still.

A strong longing suddenly surged in his heart.

He wanted to see Jing Xiaotian's smiling face, hear her voice, and feel her presence.

This longing made Jin Hexi's heart hurt and made him sweat.

All his thoughts turned into one thought.

He was going to see Jing Xiaotian now.

Jin Hexi couldn't stay any longer, he had to do something.

As soon as it dawned, Jin Hexi quietly came to the stable, led the white horse, walked out of the Jin family mansion, and ran towards Heming Villa.

Because he always thought that Jin Hexi might appear next second, Jing Xiaotian stayed up and stayed awake all night.

It was almost dawn, and Jin Hexi was nowhere to be seen.

Jing Xiaotian felt uneasy, fearing that something would happen to Jin Hexi, and fearing that Jin's mother would stop him and not let him out.

She did not want to get stuck in this tormenting emotion, but , but couldn't extricate himself.

Jin Hexi failed to show up at Heming Villa immediately, which made Jing Xiaotian smell something unusual.

She vaguely felt that her future with Jin Hexi was full of uncertainties.

This feeling made her confused and helpless, and at the same time full of anger at her own powerlessness.

Therefore, it is very painful inside.

Inoda kept walking around the room like a trapped animal, trying to calm down.

At this time, the oil lamp that had been burning all night suddenly burst into flames.

Jing Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said to himself: "You have burned it all night and worked hard to create a shadow to accompany me, right?"

I’m tired too.

Now that I’ve made another lantern, is there anything else I can’t celebrate?”

As he spoke, he picked up the scissors and cut the wick.

After thinking for a while, he simply blew it out, put on his clothes and lay down to sleep.

However, as soon as he lay down on the bed, a particularly strong thought arose in Jing Xiaotian's mind: Jin Hexi was outside the door.

She even thought she could hear his breathing:
