Chapter 491: Women From the Dynasty
The situation in the Xiao Family City was a little special. Unlike the Fire Sect and the Green Dragon Sect, which were purely sects, they occupied an area near the peak of the mountain and were nothing more than a bandit with a slightly better character.
They were also not like the Central Plains Sect Alliance, where everyone in the city belonged to the Central Plains Sect Alliance. From the alliance leader to the people in the city, most of them were from the Central Plains Sect Alliance. Occasionally, some merchants would go to the Central Plains Sect Alliance to trade.
However, the Xiao Family City was different. This huge city belonged to the members of the Xiao family. The strange thing was that the entire city was divided into three parts. The outermost part was naturally the outer city where Victor was currently located. There were all sorts of people here, ordinary people and even cultivators from all over the world. However, not a single member of the Xiao family was present.
This was because they all lived in the inner city. As the living area of the Xiao family’s disciples, the inner city was strictly regulated. Other than some honored guests, or other prominent sects and first-rate forces, very few people were qualified to enter.
As for the deepest part of the Xiao family’s territory, as the name implied, no one there was an outsider. Most of them were from the Xiao family, and they were the direct descendants of the Xiao family. For example, people like Xiao Chenggan lived in the Xiao family’s territory.
One had to say that this was a very reasonable arrangement. Not only did it eliminate many potential threats, but it could also increase the cohesion of the Xiao family’s disciples, killing two birds with one stone.
However, for Victor, this would undoubtedly greatly increased the difficulty of their plan.
With a simple guess, one could understand that at that time, the marriage alliance team of the Western Plains Dynasty would definitely have to live in the Xiao family’s territory. In other words, Victor and He Qi had to sneak into the deepest parts of the Xiao Family City. Moreover, after the incident… it would be impossible to find an opportunity to sneak out.
Just as Victor had said, if the Xiao family’s territory could be easily entered, then Xiao Chenggan, the so-called heir of the Xiao family, would have been killed long ago.
Therefore, entering the Xiao family’s territory was the biggest problem.
Regarding this, Victor had no clue at all.
As his thoughts surged, suddenly, a clamor suddenly came from outside. Victor and He Qi left the room and went outside to check. It turned out that the marriage alliance team of the Western Plains Dynasty had arrived.
It had to be said that whether a force was powerful or not would often be unintentionally revealed.
For example, when Victor went out on a trip, ever since the Three-legged Golden Crow left for personal matters, he and He Qi had been walking, although their speed was far faster than most of the fine horses.
However, look at the Western Plains Dynasty. They came riding the wind on a horse carriage. The horse carriage was pulled by four half-blood dragon horses that could steadily travel in the air. The golden-painted horse carriage was made of non-withering wood obtained from the Great Snow Mountains of the Northern Plains. The cha.s.sis was as tall as a person, it was almost as big as the main hall of an ordinary family. It looked grand and magnificent. Although they had never ridden it before, the environment inside definitely would not be bad.
As the horse carriage continued to descend, it actually landed in the outer city. This immediately caused the discussion of many people.
“Strange. Why is the marriage alliance team stopping in the outer city? Aren’t they going to the Xiao family’s territory?”
“I don’t know. The Xiao family must have prepared a grand welcoming party. Let’s just watch the good show.”
“That’s true. However, the princess is in there. She’s definitely a first-cla.s.s beauty, right?”
“Isn’t that bulls.h.i.t? If the princess isn’t beautiful, could it be that your mother is?”
Pa.s.sing through the noisy crowd, Victor and He Qi came to the front of the crowd. Looking at the people slowly getting out of the carriage, they could not help but frown.
Although Victor knew that the Western Plains would attach great importance to this marriage alliance, it was a little too much.
There was a total of three carriages. More than ten middle-aged men with luxurious clothes and extraordinary bearing walked out of the first carriage. They seemed to be people from the imperial consecration hall of the Western Plains Dynasty. All of them were at the nascent soul realm, and the strongest among them was at the advanced stage of the nascent soul realm.
Following that, two eunuchs walked out of the second carriage. There were also four officials who seemed to be from the imperial court. They wore crimson-colored cloud-patterned robes, and their positions were not low.
As for the third carriage, a group of cheerful young men and women walked out. They were probably the princes and princesses of the Western Plains Dynasty.
Something unexpected for Victor was that Yan Qingxin was present as well, and she looked unhappy.
“Where is that b*stard Xiao Chenggan? Did he ask for my permission before marrying my sister?”
“Tianyang, today is the day of Linyang’s wedding. Don’t mess around.”
Princess Tianyang was how outsiders addressed Yan Qingxin. As for her sister, she was obviously the female lead of this marriage, Princess Linyang.
However, Victor had not heard much about this Princess Linyang.
Subsequently, the woman got down from the carriage and smiled. With that, she had already conquered the city.
The noise instantly disappeared and fell into a strange silence. After a long time, someone finally came to their senses, closed their mouth, and wiped the tears from the corners of their mouths.
So beautiful. This was probably the only impression Victor had of Princess Linyang. The other impression was, f*ck! It was so big!
Her beauty was beyond description. Although he did not want to admit it, even a beauty like Lian Hua was inferior in front of Princess Linyang.
“Tianyang, stop fooling around.”
“Sister, why are you so stupid? Let me tell you, that Xiao Chenggan is not a good person. Brother Crown Prince, don’t you agree?”
After saying this, Yan Qingxin turned her head, as if she wanted to obtain the latter’s approval.
“Tianyang, it’s fine if you say this in front of us, but don’t let others hear it. This marriage alliance with the Xiao family is father’s idea.
“I really don’t know what father is thinking… Sister, do you want to marry? Why don’t I go and beg father and stop you from marrying?”
“If I don’t marry him, will you?”
Princess Linyang laughed lightly. Her eyebrows were just right, outlining the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Once these words were said, Yan Qingxin lost her temper and could only shut up obediently.
Let her marry someone? Impossible!
“Why aren’t you speaking? I remember that you and Xiao Chenggan are close. Isn’t it just right for the two of you to get married?”
“Brother Crown Prince, what are you talking about? I don’t want to marry that b*stard Xiao Chenggan.”
“Alright, alright. Behave, Tianyang.”
“Sister, I just feel that Xiao Chenggan is not worthy of you. You are so beautiful and I… I don’t want to see you get married.”
As she said this, Yan Qingxin’s mood was obviously a little depressed.
“Tianyang, we are n.o.bles of the Tian family. We are father’s daughters. Some decisions are not made by us. You are still young and there are still things that you don’t understand. When you grow up and mature, perhaps you’ll understand that being born in the Tian family means that you don’t have much freedom.”
