Counting on your fingers, the fifth marriage is coming

Chapter 190 Twelve Linked Villages (Part )
"My dear son, who did you say Emperor Yue is?" Chi's mother even changed her tone.

Village Master Chi also looked incredulous.

Chi Jiangdong's shoulders slumped, and he sat down on the chair, saying weakly, "Xu Shanshan, the fiancée that our family once despised and broke off the engagement with, Xu Shanshan, the disciple of the world's number one fortune teller."

"Who?!"

The leader of the Chi village jumped up as if his butt was on fire. He uttered "Oh!" and turned left and right in worry. After turning around for several times, he turned to look at Chi Jiangdong.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?"

He asked with the last glimmer of hope.

Chi Jiangdong was also annoyed: "This matter is very serious, how could I make up nonsense? Emperor Yue is Xu Shanshan, and Xu Shanshan is Emperor Yue, you can believe it or not."

Mother Chi murmured as if in a dream, "So, if our family hadn't canceled the engagement, we might have become a royal relative by now?"

When Chi Jiangdong heard this, he immediately interrupted his mother's fantasy: "She was the one who broke off the engagement. She broke off the engagement with the five of us in public when She Yuan regained the throne. She..."

He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "She doesn't care about us at all."

Mother Chi and the leader of Chi Village looked at each other. This couple, who had been married for almost twenty years, had already cultivated the tacit understanding to the highest level.

This child... is in love and has finally met his soulmate, but he doesn't know whether it is a good fate or a bad fate.

But he obviously didn't seize the opportunity and ruined himself.

"Son, you have a pure mind and a simple character. The harem is not a place suitable for you. So let's call off the engagement. Let your elder brother suffer the consequences." Mother Chi consoled.

Chi Jiangdong's uncle had seven sons, six of whom were married. However, the eldest son was rather arrogant and looked down on ordinary women, so he has remained unmarried until now.

But whether it is appearance, knowledge or martial arts, he is recognized as an expert, so no one talks behind his back about him not being able to find a wife. They only regret that no woman is worthy of him so far.

Now, Empress Yue is the most supreme woman in the world and is more than qualified to be his match.

"Madam." Master Chi gave her a look, asking her to look at Chi Jiangdong's expression.

When Chi's mother saw Chi Jiangdong's face turn pale, she knew that these words were somewhat hurtful, and hurriedly said, "Donger, this Xu Shanshan, no, this Emperor Yue, has no advantages except for her high status. She is also superficial and only likes things that are fleeting, such as appearance. She is definitely not a good match. It is not a pity to lose her."

Chi Jiangdong lowered his eyes and retorted subconsciously.

"She's not as bad as you say... You don't even know her, so why do you say that about her?"

It's over. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. She won't listen to any advice.

Mother Chi stroked her forehead and sighed.

"Then what are you thinking? No one wants you anymore, you are not still planning to run for election, are you?" Chief Chi Zhaizhu frowned and questioned him.

Chi Jiangdong immediately stood up as if stimulated. He turned his eyes away and said, "I won't go... I'm not that cheap."

After an internal selection within the Twelve Linked Village, three good men were finally chosen, namely Chi Yu, the eldest son of the uncle's family, and two candidates in the village, Xiang Yi and Yin Qi.

Chi Yu's difficult marriage has long been a concern for Uncle Chi, but he was asked to send a child to Emperor Yue as a concubine for nothing. The journey was long and deep, and it would not be easy to see her again in the deep palace.

He was reluctant at first, but Chi Yu was very happy to do it this time. He was combative and liked challenging and competitive things.

Uncle Chi couldn't persuade him, and this time he was doing it for the sake of the entire Twelve Links Village, so he had no choice but to let him do it. Xiangyi and Yinqi were a pair of brothers. Although they were both good-looking, they were unable to practice martial arts because of their weak physical constitutions. They lacked the masculine energy of a man, and were more gentle than handsome. They were not liked by the heroic women in the village, so they never got married.

They took the initiative to request to participate in the talent show. They heard that Emperor Yue preferred this type of femininity, and they privately thought that if Chi Yu's type didn't work, they might be favored instead.

There was no way to hide the fact that someone from the Twelve Linked Village was taking part in the talent show. Of course, they didn't want to hide it. Anyway, things had come to this point, so let's wait and see who would win.

"Where's Dong'er?"

After returning to Jinlu Village, Village Master Chi discovered that Chi Jiangdong had disappeared. He asked everyone and everyone claimed that they had no idea, did not know, and had not seen him.

Chi's mother sat there for a long time before she said, "Let's go."

"Where did you go?" Village Chief Chi suddenly had a bad feeling.

Chi's mother looked helpless, "Where else can he go? Of course, he should go to the person he has lost his heart to."

The leader of the Chi village was stunned for a long time before he said angrily: "This silly child, he still wants to jump into this fire pit."

"Who says he is our child? He is very passionate and stubborn. He will never give up on something he has decided on. He will hang anyone he likes on a tree."

The leader of Chi Village also understood Chi Jiangdong's character, and he would not give up until he reached the Yellow River.

"Don't be angry, have you forgotten that the fortune teller said that they are a marriage destined by heaven and that they have the most suitable destinies for each other? Look, after all these twists and turns, didn't the red string finally tie? " When Chi's mother was advising him, she was also advising herself.

"But, but the person she is going to marry is the emperor. There are so many men around her. How can our son possibly defeat them?"

Leader Chi was not only angry, he was more worried about Chi Jiangdong.

"Isn't there Chi Yu? That kid has been very thoughtful since he was young. With him around, I'm sure no one will be able to bully Dong'er."

"But if Chi Yu also falls in love with Emperor Yue, you also know how dark the means of competing for favor in the harem are."

"Don't worry, that kid has treated Dong'er as his own brother since he was young. He won't do that. Besides... he wouldn't dare to do that with us here." Mother Chi had a kind smile on her face, but her eyes were as deep as a wolf's and she was protecting her cub very much.

There was almost no obvious change in expression on the face of Master Chi, but there was a faint cold light flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"You're right. Dong'er is not without support. We will always be his escape route."

holy mountain
Star Observatory

A large stone, as if it had been cut and polished, with grooves on its surface forming the shape of the universe, shining above, reaching from heaven to earth.

Xu Shanshan stood alone on the stone plate that was filled with the light of the "sun and moon". The faint light sprinkled around her. Her wide and thin white robe floated in the water, and her figure was ethereal. She closed her eyes and felt it, with a peaceful and calm expression.

"Shan, you've been standing here all night."

At this moment, Xu Shanshan revealed the compassion for the world and the indifference to joy that belonged to a great master. Her eyebrows were like distant ink and her eyes were like stars falling into a clear spring, reflecting an eternal and beautiful galaxy.

"There is a crack in the chaos. Pojun, Ziwei, Tianlang... their sharp momentum has retreated a little, but the final outcome cannot be changed. Floods, sky stones, plagues, ground fissures, tsunamis... wars, insect plagues, famine..."

"You said, when a country is about to be destroyed, at what stage will it be destroyed?"

As she spoke, a gust of black wind swept in and wrapped her up. When Xu Shanshan opened her eyes again, she was already on a vast ocean mirror.

Her shadow was reflected under her feet. She didn't say a word, but the "shadow" gave her a strange smile.
