Chapter 7 Heart, Promise

At the beginning of dinner, Xiao Yu was about to go to Shen Li for a drink, but Li Linxiang came to Xiao Yu's residence alone.

Xiao Yu didn't know why Li Linxiang came to find him. After Zhu Xin and Lian Xiaonuo left, he slowly squeezed the tea in the teacup and waited for Li Linxiang to speak.

After a while, Li Linxiang finally opened her mouth when she felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward.

"General Xiao doesn't seem to like to talk to his little sister!"

"It's not that I don't like it, but I don't know what to say."

Listening to Xiao Yu's direct words, Li Linxiang smiled and whispered, "Since General Xiao doesn't know what to say, let the little sister ask some questions!"

"Xiao listened attentively!"

Li Linxiang pondered for a while, stared at Xiao Yu's eyes and asked, "I don't know what General Xiao said about Qingyun?"

"Miss Tang?"

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and said with a faint smile, "Miss Tang is as beautiful as a fairy and quiet. She is a rare good woman."

Tang Qingyun's purpose of coming to Xiao Yu's side is obvious, but after she came to Xiao Yu's side, she never took the initiative to please Xiao Yu.

When she is fine, Tang Qingyun is either reading in the room or practicing medicine on the street, as leisurely and quiet as an old man who has seen through the world.

Xiao Yu really has a good impression on Tang Qingyun.

"Qingyun is indeed a good woman. Unfortunately, she comes from the Tang family, and there are many things she can't help."

Xiao Yu nodded and smiled faintly, "There are gains and losses. There are many places where people from a family are not free, but many people in the world are very envious of those who come from a family. If he can change his identity, Xiao believes that many women are willing to change his identity with Miss Tang.

Li Linxiang was silent for a while, smiled softly and said, "General Xiao is right, but people are not popular enough. Most people think that the environment they are in now can be better. Qingyun has such an idea in her heart, and so does her little sister.

"It is human nature to pursue a better life, and Xiao also hopes that his current environment is better than the current situation."

"What is the better environment that General Xiao expects?"

"The world is peaceful, and I have enough strength and power to take revenge!"

Li Linxiang nodded, stared at Xiao Yu with a pair of watery eyes and asked, "Does General Xiao know what the little sister expects?"

"The princess must expect your majesty to unify the world as soon as possible!"

"My little sister really hopes that my father can unify the world as soon as possible, but my little sister also knows that even if my father has peerless talent, he can't unify the world in a short time."

Li Linxiang dared to explain in front of Xiao Yu that Wang could not unify the world in a short time, but Xiao Yu could not follow Li Linxiang's words.

"To the average woman, they should marry someone after the sixteenth, and the little sister has passed the eighteenth this year."

Although Li Linxiang is not an ordinary woman, when she said this, a touch of red still appeared on her face.

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yu. Li Linxiang continued, "Qing Yun is half a year younger than her little sister, and she has passed the age of the betrothed family. However, like her little sister, she can't make her own affairs. The little sister wants to get a marriage that really belongs to her. I don't know if General Xiao is willing to help the little sister?

With Xiao Yu's shrewdness, he certainly understood the implied meaning of Li Linxiang's words.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yu didn't know how to answer Li Linxiang's words.

Seeing that Xiao Yu did not answer her words, a trace of shame slowly appeared on Li Linxiang's face.

Li Linxiang wanted to leave, but she didn't know when she would have the courage to say these difficult words.

After a silence for a while, Li Linxiang took a deep breath and continued to say, "If the little sister doesn't have anyone in her heart that she thinks she can entrust, the little sister can only accept her fate, but now, the little sister is really not willing to let her father decide the little sister's future."

Li Linxiang said this, and Xiao Yu could no longer pretend not to understand.

"Princess Meng valued it, and Xiao was flattered."

"Didn't you think you would continue to pretend to be confused?"

Li Linxiang glanced at Xiao Yu, suppressed the shame in her heart, took a sip of tea, and whispered, "As a princess, my little sister knows that her future husband can never be an ordinary person. Therefore, my little sister has never thought that she would work hard for her marriage. It was General Xiao who gave the little sister the opportunity to think, and also gave the little sister the opportunity to decide her marriage. With the ability of General Xiao, he will definitely be awarded the title of general. At that time, as long as General Xiao is willing to open his mouth, his father may agree.

After saying the thoughts in his heart, most of the shame in Li Linxiang's heart disappeared.

Before Xiao Yu could speak, Li Linxiang talked about Bai Wenxuan and Huangfu'an.

"Maybe the little sister is resisting those who may be appointed as her husband's son-in-law by her father, and the little sister has a resistance to Ping An's cousin and Bai Taixue. Since she knew that General Xiao and his little sister had known each other at the magic soldier treasure appraisal meeting that day, the little sister suddenly felt that General Xiao might be the person the little sister had been waiting for.

I don't know whether it was a moment of ghost fascination or too chaos in my heart, Xiao Yu opened her mouth and said something that made Li Linxiang very angry.

"If Xiao had done nothing in Yunshan County for more than half a year, the princess would not have said it today."

"If General Xiao is really mediocre, my little sister won't have today."

Seeing that Li Linxiang was really angry, Xiao Yu couldn't help smiling awkwardly.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yu suppressed the embarrassment in her heart and said to Li Linxiang, "Please redeem Xiao to speak bluntly. Xiao has never thought about the love between a man and a woman for more than a year, nor has he thought about the princess, and he can't promise anything to the princess at this time. If the princess believes Xiao's words, when Xiao really has the ability to fight for a freedom for the princess, Xiao is willing to help the princess achieve her wish.

"My little sister didn't think about what General Xiao promised now. She said these things to General Xiao. She just wanted to say it in person before returning to the name."

After saying this, Li Linxiang stared at Xiao Yu for a moment and took off the jade pendant hanging around his neck.

"This fragrant jade little sister has been with me for 18 years, and it is the thing that has been with my little sister for the longest time. Today, the little sister gave it to General Xiao, hoping that General Xiao can often think of the little sister."

Xiao Yu should have sent a gift after accepting Li Linxiang's jade pendant, but he thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of what he should give as a gift.

After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Yu took out the jade bamboo he got at the Huai Temple.

"Is this Yuzhu?"

Li Linxiang asked, but did not pick up the jade bamboo handed over by Xiao Yu.

After Xiao Yu nodded, Li Linxiang stared at Xiao Yu's eyes and asked, "Can General Xiao find someone to help his little sister carve this jade bamboo into a short flute?"

Xiao Yu took out the jade bamboo and gave it to Li Linxiang, because he knew that Li Linxiang knew the trick, but he didn't think that it was not appropriate for him to give an uncut jade bamboo to Li Linxiang.

"Good!"

Xiao Yu answered with some embarrassment and took the jade bamboo back into the Xumi pearl.

After a while of silence, Li Linxiang suddenly asked about Xiao Yu's past.

"General Xiao, can you talk about what happened to you before?"

"What happened before? What does the princess want to know?

"As long as it's about General Xiao, the little sister wants to know."

Xiao Yu looked at Li Linxiang, hesitated for a while, and told some of his previous experiences.

Although Li Linxiang made it clear to him, Xiao Yu only said something that did not need to be kept secret.

The two talked for more than half an hour, but Xiao Yu hadn't talked about Liu Hanyan and Fu Qingyu.

Maybe he thought it was too late. Xiao Yu didn't take the initiative to say it, and Li Linxiang asked directly.

"Can you tell me about your confidant?"

"She?"

Xiao Yu was silent for a while and whispered, "She has a deep affection for Xiao. Xiao has also promised her. Unfortunately, when Xiao went to find her, she was no longer there. Xiao asked himself that he had not made any decision that he regretted, but this matter was a pity for Xiao.

"If she knew that General Xiao would go to her according to the agreement, she would not blame General Xiao under Jiuquan."

"Even if she blames Xiao, it's what Xiao deserves."

Seeing that Xiao Yu's mood suddenly became very low, Li Linxiang couldn't help regretting asking about this matter.

When his mind turned around, Li Linxiang asked about Wanjia Town in those years.

"General Xiao, can you tell your little sister about Wanjia Town in those years?"

Xiao Yu nodded gently and told the story that he broke into Wanjia Town alone.

"General Xiao may not know yet. It is because of the matter of Wanjia Town that Wushuang's sister-in-law has always regarded General Xiao as a real hero."

"A chivalrous man? Although Xiao thinks he has a sense of justice, he doesn't want to be a hero.

Xiao Yu shook her head and smiled. She didn't know whether she was laughing at herself or being interested in Yan Wushuang's innocence.

After talking for about a quarter of an hour, Li Linxiang felt that it was a little too late, so she said that she was leaving.

After saying his intention to leave, Li Linxiang stared at Xiao Yu's eyes and asked softly, "General Xiao is willing to make an appointment with his little sister?"

"Agreement? What agreement?"

"A three-year agreement, after three years, no matter whether General Xiao is interested in his little sister or not, General Xiao is asked to show his intentions for his little sister to his father."

Xiao Yu was silent for a while, nodded and said in a low voice, "Three years later, if Xiao has the ability, Xiao will definitely help the princess compete for freedom."

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

After high-fiveing and swearing, Li Linxiang left.

Xiao Yu stood at the door and stared at the starless night sky for a long time. When Zhu Xin reminded him that he should go to rest, he returned to the room.

Although Xiao Yu has no idea about Li Linxiang now, after Li Linxiang showed his feelings to him, he had a position in his heart.

With the passage of time, Li Linxiang's position in Xiao Yu's heart may slowly disappear, but it is also likely to become indelible.

Whether intentional or unintentional, Li Linxiang came to Xiao Yu to show that the purpose of his heart had been achieved.
