Chapter 163 Your Majesty, I Want to Cancel the Engagement

The Liang general Qin Shang led 50,000 elite troops and marched aggressively, intending to capture the border town in one fell swoop.

However, among the defenders of Daxia, there was an unknown young general who was brave and resourceful. When the two armies were fighting, he broke through the siege, defeated Qin Shang in one fell swoop and took his head.

When Lin Ruyi reached this point, she couldn't help but admire.

"It is said that the young general was injured at the time, but he was still able to take down Qin Shang's head. I really admire him."

Lang Yue also sighed: "This young general is really amazing, he is really a hero of our Great Xia! Hey, who exactly is this young general?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruyi immediately put down the teacup and looked at Yao Jia.

Yao Jia smiled softly, "Why? Don't I know this young general?"

Lin Ruyi chuckled and nodded proudly.

“You really know him.”

Yao Jia's heart skipped a beat, her breath suddenly choked, and she stared at him closely...

Lang Yue urged, "Okay, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly."

Lin Ruyi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then spoke slowly.

"This young general is none other than your cousin, your fiancé, the young master of the Gu family - Gu Xiyan!"

The pen in Yao Jia's hand fell to the table with a bang, and her face turned pale.

Gu Xiyan! It’s really him!

Lang Yue looked at Yao Jia, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.

The cancellation of the engagement between Yao Jia and the Gu family has not yet been finalized, and no one else knows about it except them.

Lin Ruyi thought she was just too surprised. She stroked her chin and murmured, "Cousin, how come you always have such a good eye for choosing a husband? I have to work harder in the future and not let An He look down on me..."

Yao Jia felt dizzy and subconsciously held onto the table.

Without her, Gu Xiyan would have realized his dream of becoming a general. He would have risen to prominence and made great military achievements in the future...

Lang Yue hurried forward and gently supported Yao Jia, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Yao Jia shook her head slightly, trying to calm herself down.

Lin Ruyi also realized that something was wrong, and quickly stood up and asked, "Cousin, are you okay?"

Yao Jia tried to force a smile and shook her head gently, "It's okay, I was a little tired when I was reading the divination just now, I'll be fine after a rest."

Divination does indeed consume physical strength.

Lin Ruyi didn't think about it and quickly said, "Then you should have a good rest. I should go to class too."

Just as he reached the door, he seemed to have thought of something and turned back.

"Don't worry, his injury is not serious. It has been so long, he should have recovered."

Yao Jia nodded and smiled at him.

After Lin Ruyi left, Langyue helped Yaojia lie down on the couch.

Looking at her pale face, my heart was filled with worry.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to ask a doctor to come and take a look?"

Yao Jia shook her head slightly. She was fine, but just a little confused.

Just take a rest.

Langyue covered her with a quilt and sat beside the bed to watch over her.

Yao Jia closed her eyes, her mind in turmoil.

Gu Xiyan has taken the path he should have taken, and she should be happy, but why can't she be happy?

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Everything was going according to her plan, but she was becoming more and more unhappy.

Yao Jia lay on the bed, feeling as if there were millions of ants gnawing at her heart, making her unable to find peace.

Lang Yue looked at her frowning brows and gently held her hand, "Yaoyao, you are worried about him, right?"

Yao Jia's heart suddenly trembled. She opened her eyes and looked at Lang Yue, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

This is what worry feels like...

Seeing Yao Jia remaining silent, Lang Yue sighed secretly, thinking that Gu Xiyan must be Yao Jia's first man and should always be different from others.

"If Yaoyao is worried about him, please light a blessing lantern for him."

Yao Jia turned her body to face the couch, "I'm not worried about him."

Her voice was muffled, and it was obvious that she was saying something but thinking another.

Lang Yue did not expose her, but just sat quietly beside the bed, looking at her back.

It was not until night fell that Yao Jia's voice was heard again.

"I want to eat the donkey rolls from Xicheng Street. Please buy some for me."

Lang Yue smiled slightly, "Okay, I'll go buy it for Yaoyao right away."

After Langyue left, Yaojia sat up and went downstairs quietly.

As more and more people placed blessing lanterns in front of Tianxing Pavilion, vendors set up stalls not far away to make it convenient for people to buy.

Yao Jia stopped in front of one of the stalls, his eyes fell on the prayer lanterns, scanning them back and forth.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose a stack of exquisite red-bottomed prayer lanterns, picked up a pen and wrote down his wishes on the lanterns.

I revised and revised several of them and finally let out a sigh.

"May he live."

Putting down the pen, she looked at the words quietly. One should not be too greedy. Just one item is enough.

Take a deep breath, light the prayer lamp, and let it fly gently.

As I watched the lamp gradually rise higher and blend into the night sky, my heart seemed to relax a little.

He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the vendor.

The vendor refused, "Young Master, we are very grateful that you let us beg for food here. How can we still accept your money?"

He refused to take it no matter what.

Yao Jia rolled her eyes at him, "Want to bribe me? No way!"

The vendor laughed and said, "Young Pavilion Master, you have a brilliant plan. My stall is on the east side, but the business is not as good as the stall on the west side. I wonder if Young Pavilion Master can think of a way to let me switch with the stall owner on the west side."

Yao Jia folded her arms and looked at him. He was like eating melon seeds and finding shrimp skins. All kinds of people are like that.

"If you want to change stalls, go talk to him. Why are you looking for me? It's like putting oil on an awl - sharp and slippery."

He threw the silver in his hand into his arms, turned around, and met Lang Yue's deep eyes.

After a slight pause, he smiled somewhat guiltily, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Lang Yue walked over to her and gently held her hand. "I wanted to come back early to see if you are feeling better and if you still have an appetite?"

Yao Jia nodded repeatedly, "Of course, I'm starving."

A smile slowly spread across Lang Yue's face, his eyes full of doting.

In just two months, the Daxia army was unstoppable and invincible.

The Liang army was defeated one after another and was unable to resist the iron hoof of Daxia.

In the imperial city, a festive atmosphere permeated every corner. The people cheered and celebrated Daxia's victory.

The streets and alleys were filled with red lanterns, drums were beating, and singing was heard one after another.

The emperor was delighted. "Lord Lin, summon him and appoint Gu Xiyan as the third-rank general of Pingliang."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Lin Congzhi bowed and stepped down, the emperor looked at Yao Jia who was standing next to him and smiled knowingly.

"Young Pavilion Master Nangong, in a few days I will call you Pavilion Master Nangong. Before that, if you have any wishes, I will try my best to satisfy them as a gift for you to become Pavilion Master."

Yao Jia's heart moved. She thought that such a good opportunity to break off the engagement should not be missed, so she put the white jade fan in her hand behind her waist.

He walked forward and bowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I do have a favor to ask."

The emperor raised his eyebrows. He wanted to be polite to her, but he didn't expect that the girl would be rude to him. He miscalculated.

The emperor secretly regretted it for a moment, then smiled and said, "I wonder what the young master wants?"

Yao Jia said: "I would like to ask your Majesty to cancel my engagement with General Pingliang!"

emperor:"……?……"

The emperor didn't react for a while, and it took him a while to realize that the General Pingliang that Yao Jia was talking about was Gu Xiyan.

After thinking deeply, he realized that he had indeed granted this marriage earlier, and he couldn't help but look at Yao Jia.

He thought: The Gu family is now thriving and can be considered a popular new family in Da Xia. Tianxing Pavilion has never been involved with the imperial power. If I cancel the engagement with Gu Xiyan, the Gu family will definitely find another good match for Gu Xiyan.

With the current power of the Gu family, if they were to form an alliance with a powerful person, the power would inevitably become too great and difficult to control.

He rubbed his forehead and said, "Young Master, I...I feel a little uncomfortable in my head...I will consider what you said carefully."

He raised his hand towards Wei Xi.

Wei Yu understood, walked to Yao Jia, and said softly: "Young Pavilion Master, I will take you out."
