700 Mission

No way, no way, no way.

It shouldn’t be what he thought. After all, Su Xiaolu was only 14 years old. It was too early to get married.

But it would be fine in three years at most.

Calculating his age, the Wisdom King was only 18 years old. It was the right time to get married. However, in another three years, it would not be too late to get married.

Who was the Wisdom King? He was smarter than ordinary people. One could not think of him with ordinary thoughts.

“Uh… I don’t know, but looking at his age, Fourth Brother should be getting married soon. If he can fall in love with Princess Li Dynasty’s princess, it will be a beautiful story.”

Su Xiaolu sighed. Usually, when consorting with princesses of foreign dynasties, they were all princes. There were also people who entered the palace. That depended on whether the princess sent over was favored or not.

If she was the princess of the empress, she usually wouldn’t enter the palace. After all, if she entered the palace, she would be a concubine.

Marriage to the royal family had to be done as the official wife.

Of course, she had only read these in books. She had never seen the real situation and did not understand it.

But this time, she had a chance to understand.

“Xiaolu, do you really think-”

Chu Jin looked at Su Xiaolu in surprise. He wanted to ask Su Xiaolu if she really thought it was a good story, but he was interrupted by Old Wu.

“What’s there to say? This isn’t the first time the two dynasties have interacted with each other. We’re just ordinary people. Why are you worried about those things?”

Old Wu did not want Chu Jin to continue. There was no need for his disciple to care about this at all.

Chu Jin was a little puzzled by being interrupted.

It was mainly because he felt that Elder Wu was looking at him a little fiercely…

Su Xiaolu listened to Old Wu and nodded in agreement. “Master is right. It’s not strange to interact with many countries.”

In her previous life, the television dramas she had watched were all like this. It was used to maintain the relationship between the two countries. Whether it was in history or on television, it was indispensable.

If the other side married a princess over, their side would marry a princess over too. It was good for everyone.

“That’s true…”

Chu Jin felt a little confused, but what Old Wu said made sense. However, why did he feel that the topic was a little off?

But that was the end of the subject.

Chu Jin still wanted to talk about the princesses in the past, but when Old Wu glared at him… Gui You’s expression was also cold.

Chu Jin touched his beard tactfully and held back what he wanted to say.

At night, Chu Jin recalled deeply what was going on. He recalled everything he said during the day. He racked his brains but could not figure out why.

He scratched his ears and muttered, “I didn’t say anything. I just said that the Wisdom King might want to marry…”

Chu Jin’s expression changed. He finally had an answer after being confused for the entire day.

He remembered that when talking about the Wisdom King, Su Xiaolu still did not know about this. The Wisdom King was close to Su Xiaolu. He felt that the Wisdom King might like Su Xiaolu. Those two Seniors had seen a lot. Did they think so too?

They did not want him to mention it because Su Xiaolu did not know yet. They did not want Su Xiaolu to be too involved with the Wisdom King.

Thinking of this, Chu Jin immediately understood. He clicked his tongue and was instantly amused.

He realized that there were many hints. For example, the two Seniors would emphasize that they were siblings.

Su Xiaolu called Wisdom King Zhou Zhi Fourth Brother.

It seemed that it would not be easy for the Wisdom King to get the beauty.

After thinking it through, Chu Jin laughed out loud.

“Ahem—”

Old Wu coughed twice. Chu Jin quickly covered his mouth. Forget it, he had understood after interacting with them for a while. Su Xiaolu’s old Master treated Su Xiaolu as the most precious thing.

If he dared to say anything, this old man would definitely find trouble with him. It was an important etiquette for him to see through it but not expose it. He had seen through it, but he would definitely not say anything.

Chu Jin hurriedly put away his thoughts and rested.

Later on, on the way, Chu Jin did not mention this again.

On the way, they met the vendors from the Li Dynasty. Su Xiaolu even bought some new things.

The high-quality silk was smoother than skin, and every bolt cost a fortune.

The people of the Li Dynasty all had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and deep facial features. Many people’s eyes were like emerald lake water and blue sky. Even in the crowd, one could tell at a glance that they were different.

Most of them had curly hair, and most were dark yellow and brown in color. The difference in looks and hair color could be quickly distinguished.

Su Xiaolu thought that these must be foreigners.

Some caravans even traveled the same way as them. Su Xiaolu and the others were not in a hurry, but when they were about to enter the capital, they saw even more people from the Li Dynasty.

On the seventh of November, Su Xiaolu and the others entered the capital.

As soon as they entered the capital, Chu Jin bade farewell with Hu Changshou, Su Xiaolu, and the others.

Chu Jin cupped his hands at Old Wu and Gui You solemnly. “Seniors, thank you for your guidance along the way. Junior has benefited greatly. If there’s a chance, the Chu Residence will welcome you at any time.”

“Back at you.”

Old Wu said calmly.

Gui You said nothing.

Chu Jin said to Su Xiaolu, “Goodbye, Xiaolu.”

Su Xiaolu waved her hand. “Goodbye.”

She waved at Hu Changshou again. “Cousin, take care. When you’re free, don’t forget to visit my parents. They miss you too.”

Hu Changshou nodded. He smiled and said, “I will. When I’m settled, I’ll visit Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, and the others.”

Chu Jin hugged Hu Changshou’s shoulder and said with a smile, “Xiaolu, don’t worry. I definitely won’t treat your cousin badly. Then let’s part ways here. See you next time.”

Chu Jin treated Hu Changshou as a brother. He would temporarily be his subordinate. The two of them would fight side by side in the future. When Hu Changshou made a contribution in the future, he would be promoted.

If he followed him, there would always be more opportunities. Hu Changshou also had his own strengths. If he brought him along, there would be an additional chance of survival.

After separating, Su Xiaolu went home with the two Masters.

Spring passed and autumn came. She had been away from home for months.

As they got closer to home, Su Xiaolu tiptoed and couldn’t help but use Qinggong. She shouted at the two Masters without looking back, “Masters, I’ll go ahead first.”

This year, she became an aunt.

Sister-in-law Lin Yaoyao gave birth to her eldest brother’s eldest son. He was already more than half a year old and was named Su Shiyu.

Her third sister, Su Xiaoling, had given birth to twin girls and they were now more than half a year old. The letter at home said that the older sister’s name was Zhou Wei and she was titled Princess Ping Sheng. The younger sister’s name was Zhou Xuan and she was titled Princess An Sheng.

The two children had obtained titles at such a young age. It was obvious that they were valued and doted on. She couldn’t wait to see her brother’s children. After seeing her brother’s children, she immediately went to the palace.
