Chapter 2 Marriage
"Do you know why we just left you?" The old man in the white robe stared at Liu Yan. At this time, the three of them were in a small room in the side hall. The two old man in the white robe was called Zhuge Wuji, and the one in the black robe was called Pang Qingyuan. The two of them sat on a bamboo chair against the wall, and Liu Yan was still standing there with his hands against the wall.
"Because there are some lessons that the two girls can't know." Liu Yan was more cautious when he got to the cabin. Zhuge Wuji nodded, and then waved his hand to let Liu Yan sit in the chair beside him.
Liu Yan wanted to be polite, but he thought of the strange temperament of the two old people, so he quickly walked over and sat down on the chair.
"There are some things I shouldn't have to tell you too much." Zhuge Wuji said slowly, "After the destruction of the State of Shu, the descendants of the famous ministers and generals of the State of Shu couldn't help but flee everywhere in order to avoid Cao Pi's pursuit. Although there was some contact at the beginning, many people died or disappeared in the war later.
"After that, the state of Shu will wither. After more than 2,000 years and more than 30 generations, only the pure blood of our Liu, Guan, Zhang, Zhuge, Pang, Liao and Zhu families are still there." Liu Yan knew what Zhuge Wuji said. He just didn't understand why the other party mentioned the old things again at this time.
"You like the girl named Xia Menghan very much, don't you?" Zhuge Wuji turned his head and looked into Liu Yan's eyes, as if he wanted to see something from his eyes.
Liu Yan didn't expect the other party to ask himself this, but he did not hesitate to answer, "Yes, although I don't have much contact with her, I have fallen in love with her since I first saw her. Xia Menghan is the most decent girl I have ever seen in my life.
"It's still beautiful!" Pang Qingyuan interrupted next to him, which made Liu Yan a little embarrassed.
"But what about Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? Have you thought about it?" Zhuge Wuji asked, "You should know that our big families finally united, and the opportunity was the marriage of Liu, Guan and Zhang. The two daughters married you and didn't say anything, but you..."
Zhuge Wuji originally wanted to go on, but when he saw Liu Yan's helpless and lonely expression, the well-informed old man couldn't help sighing.
"Since they didn't say anything about the children, what else do you old man care about?" Pang Qingyuan came here for a leisurely look. He half leaned on a long bamboo chair, his calves were shaking outside, and he drank two sips of wine from time to time, making a sound in his mouth.
"How can you leave it alone?" Zhuge Wuji sighed again: "Zhang Fei is lively by nature and has no intention. He may indeed have no opinion on this matter; but haven't you noticed Xiaoyu's expression just now? She protects Liu Yan everywhere. Obviously, she has long been in admiration. Originally, it was sad for a girl for a husband to share with others, but now there is another person.
Zhuge Wuji asked Liu Yan, "I don't know how much energy you have? Can you take care of so many girls?"
"I..." Liu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still said what he thought: "Although we have made a marriage, I only regard them as my sisters. And nothing has happened between us. I just don't want to delay their future..."
"Did you delay them?" Zhuge Wuji snorted, "I'm afraid you're afraid of delaying yourself, right? Are Yu'er and Fei'er very bad? How much worse are their appearance than that of Xia Menghan?
Liu Yan quickly waved his hand to talk about his appearance, family background and other conditions. The two girls, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, are indeed outstanding among girls, and they are not more condescending than Xia Menghan, but Liu Yan did not have the so-called 'heartbeat' feeling when he was with them. When he said this Although he carefully observed the expressions of Zhuge Wuji and Pang Qingyuan, he still said what was in his heart.
"Don't mention such words in the future. You haven't talked to those two girls, have you?" Zhuge Wuji asked nervously. When he saw Liu Yan shaking his head quickly, he was finally relieved.
"You must know that your three families are united by their in-laws. Although you and Grandpa Pang and I have been supporting your Liu family over the years, the Liao family has defended the interests of the Guan family, and the Zhu family is also the first to the Zhang family. If something happens to your three children, the now peaceful alliance may be defeated in an instant! If we become a plate of scattered sand, we will be broken one by others sooner or later!" Zhuge Wuji took care of Liu Yan several times with a nervous look. Although Liu Yan nodded happily and agreed, looking at his slightly frown, it was obvious that there was still something unresolved.
"Kid, what's your problem? Just take advantage of today to ask!" Although Pang Qingyuan had been lying on the bamboo chair, he heard all the conversations between Liu Yan and Zhuge Wuji.
And Liu Yan was facing this side at this time. Although Pang Qingyuan's small eyes were narrowed, he also saw his expression.
Liu Yan has said a lot of things that he should not say today. At this time, he seems to have made up his mind and intends to release all the doubts in his heart.
"Probably when I was twelve years old, our three families were ready to unite, and it has been about ten years since then?" Liu Yan asked, but Zhuge Wuji did not answer but nodded.
"Although I know that marriage is for the benefit of the family, and I was born in this family, it is normal to make some sacrifices for the family." Liu Yan said this and quickly added, "What's more, it's something that many people dream of marrying two such beautiful wives. I won't complain about it, because it should be a beauty."
Zhuge Wuji and Pang Qingyuan nod at the same time. In fact, they have always been a little guilty about this matter, because it is cruel to let the three children bear the future fate of the three families. However, when I think of the appearance, figure and knowledge of the two girls of the Guan family and the Zhang family, it doesn't seem to be a loss for Liu Yan, so the pressure in everyone's hearts is less.
"And when I first heard about the reason for your alliance, it should have been after my 18th birthday party. My father drank a lot of wine that day. He recruited me into the dormitory and vaguely revealed this matter to me. Liu Yan stopped here. He gently bit his lips with a little uncomfortable expression, because Liu Yan's parents passed away soon after that.
"My father said that the most helpless thing to do in his life was to let me be a condition for the alliance, but this merger of the three families was forced, because the family will soon suffer a disaster comparable to more than 2,000 years ago!" Although Liu Yan's father is not proficient in martial arts, he is a business wizard. From birth to school to adulthood, Liu Yan has stepped on bricks and jade tiles at almost every step of his journey.
"But it's been four years now! Why do I have to practice hard every day? Who is that disaster and that group of enemies? When will they come?" Liu Yan's eyes were a little red at this time, because he couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of his deceased parents. Now he can't figure out what the intention of the alliance is.
Zhuge Wuji looked at Pang Qingyuan beside him and saw the flashing hesitation in the other party's eyes, and Pang Qingyuan shook his hair slightly to give some hint. At this time, Zhuge Wuji nodded slightly and looked at Liu Yan.
"I knew you wouldn't say..." Liu Yan seemed to have expected this result for a long time, because he has knocked around many times in the past four years, but he has never received any relevant answers.
"It's not that I won't tell you, but the time hasn't come yet!" Zhuge Wuji said that when the crisis was approaching, they would definitely tell Liu Yan everything, but before that, Liu Yan needed to practice harder, otherwise he would not be able to survive the catastrophe at all.
"Now all over the world is beginning to be calm. Isn't this the Cao family's family also appearing..." Zhuge Wuji's eyes stared at the door not far away. He was stunned for two or three seconds before whispering, "If Cao Bo is really a descendant of Cao Cao..."
"I will definitely defeat him!" Liu Yan gritted his teeth and said, obviously venting his depression on Cao Bo: "If necessary, I can kill him!"
Zhuge Wuji and Pang Qingyuan didn't say anything when they heard this sentence full of killing, but Zhuge Wuji said solemnly, "I know the bet between you is Xia Menghan, but even if you win in the end, you are not allowed to be with that girl!"
Zhuge Wuji saw that Liu Yan seemed to want to refute, so he repeated it in an aggravated tone: "Remember, for the sake of your father's will, you must do this!"
Liu Yan still wanted to plead for mercy, but when he saw Zhuge Wuji's gloomy face and a very resolute attitude, Liu Yan had no choice but to nod his head.
"Good to Yuer and Feier, those two are the people you should love in your life." Zhuge Wuji was afraid that Liu Yan would deal with himself, so he didn't feel like repeating it again.
"I..." Liu Yan regained his mood and replied, "I know."
"That's right!" Pang Qingyuan then leaned out half of his body and said, "What you need to consider now is how to win the duel three days later!" Other thoughts will only make you not concentrate enough.
Liu Yan seemed to understand, and nodded quickly again, while Pang Qingyuan whispered a few words to Zhuge Wuji, and then waved his hand to Liu Yan and left.
"About the game, you can discuss it with Lao Liao and Xiao Zhu. If you lose, the three of us will have no face!" Pang Qingyuan finally took care of him, and after Liu Yan stood up respectfully and said goodbye, he carefully walked out of the room...
