New Fiancée

Li Xian suppressed his expression and buried his head deeply, shouting loudly, "Your Majesty, your subject asks for nothing more than for Your Majesty to bear witness."

"My Li family will return everything given by the Anle Marquis Manor. If the items are gone, they will be replaced with items of equivalent value."

"We only hope to completely sever ties with the Anle Marquis Manor and restore my daughter's reputation."

Jun Tianxiao finally managed to wait for him to finish speaking and couldn't help but interrupt immediately:

"You old fool! If Li Qinghan was truly innocent, why would she accept gifts so quickly while refusing to be with me?"

Li Xian slowly raised his head, not even bothering to give Jun Tianxiao a glance. He replied expressionlessly:

"Your Majesty, as far as this subject knows, every time my daughter accepted a gift, it was forced upon her by Jun Tianxiao. She did not accept them willingly."

"On several occasions, Jun Tianxiao even threatened to end his own life, forcing my daughter to accept the gifts."

Faced with this statement, Jun Tianxiao deeply resented his previous incarnation. He knew that Li Xian's words about his previous incarnation were true.

Everything was factual, leaving no room for rebuttal. He stammered for a long time, unable to come up with any excuse.

Mo Yunxuan watched Li Xian prostrate himself and secretly mused:

"This guy is something else. Although I don't quite understand the deeper meaning of his words, seeing Ji Ruxue's increasingly displeased expression, I know Jun Tianxiao is in for some trouble!"

"Tsk, satisfying!"

Ji Ruxue glared at Jun Tianxiao with a dark expression and said coldly, "Esteemed Minister Li, rest assured, I will have Hong Yu personally oversee this matter from beginning to end on my behalf."

Then, her voice echoed throughout the entire hall: "If there is nothing else, we shall adjourn!"

After speaking, she stood up and headed towards the Imperial Harem without regard for whether the officials present had anything else to report.

Seeing Ji Ruxue leave first, the officials had no intention of seeking attention and tacitly lowered their heads.

After the Palace Guards announced "Adjourn," Mo Yunxuan turned and walked towards the exit of the hall.

As he passed Jun Tianxiao, he saw his motionless figure standing there. Mo Yunxuan walked over and gently patted his shoulder.

He hooked his arm around Jun Tianxiao's neck and whispered in his ear, "Brother Tianxiao, when will your Zhao Yun head to the barracks? I'll have someone make proper arrangements for him."

Jun Tianxiao disliked being so close to men and tried to break free from Mo Yunxuan's grasp by shifting his body.

However, after several attempts, he found it impossible. He could only turn his head and say coldly with impatience:

"Mo Yunxuan, stop pretending. Just state your purpose directly!"

Mo Yunxuan raised his chin slightly, looked down at Jun Tianxiao with disdain, and said meaningfully:

"Brother Tianxiao is truly heartless! Are you not afraid that your Zhao Yun will be lost in there?"

"Hahaha! With your ragtag bunch?"

Jun Tianxiao dismissed Mo Yunxuan's threatening words with disdain and was full of confidence in Zhao Yun's reputation.

He had investigated before. Although the Wei State Duke Mansion was still substantial, after the Old Duke's unexpected death...

Even though the Wei State Duke Mansion still had several Spirit Transmutation Realm cultivators, it ultimately lacked a Void Refinement Realm cultivator to anchor it.

With Zhao Yun's strength, even if he couldn't win, he could still escape with ease and preserve his life.

Moreover, he had the opportunity to summon a Huaxia Hero once a month. As long as he was given time, he would definitely gain firm control of the Left Wei Guard, surprising everyone.

Even if someone in the Wei State Duke Mansion broke through to the Void Refinement Realm, by then, the Left Wei Guard would have already changed hands.

Mo Yunxuan looked at Jun Tianxiao's suddenly arrogant expression and slowly released his arm from around his neck.

He tidied his court attire, looked at the bright sky outside the door, and said leisurely:

"Since Brother Tianxiao is so confident, I wish Brother Tianxiao success in controlling the Left Wei Guard."

"However, I must remind Brother Tianxiao that the waters of the Left Wei Guard run deep. If your Zhao Yun happens to be lost in there, don't feel too heartbroken."

After speaking, Mo Yunxuan chuckled, flicked his sleeves, and walked out of the hall leisurely.

Jun Tianxiao watched his retreating back, a shadow cast over his heart.

Although he was confident in Zhao Yun's strength, it was easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. At this moment, he also felt a little less confident.

"Could he really have a backup plan?"

But this thought was immediately dismissed by Jun Tianxiao.

"No! It shouldn't be. If he really had a backup plan, why would he give up the position of Commander of the Left Wei Guard?"

"Besides, this matter has already been decided in the Imperial Court, and I have the Empress's backing."

"Even if he has a backup plan, it's too late."

"It's probably just a bluff!"

With that thought, Jun Tianxiao smiled confidently and left the Imperial Court hall.

##DONE## The Left Wei Guard Barracks, inside the Council Hall.

Many Left Wei Guard generals sat around, their expressions somewhat strange.

At this moment, one of them spoke: "Have we been abandoned by the Duke?"

But his exaggerated tone made everyone present roll their eyes.

A Muscle General retorted disdainfully: "Old Wang, are you done yet! Everyone is thinking of solutions now, and you're still thinking of playing!"

The general called Old Wang didn't care about the Muscle General's words, grinning: "Heh, Old Qi, I just saw the atmosphere was too strange, so I wanted to liven things up!"

"Besides, what's there to discuss? Just follow the Duke's arrangements. It's only a month anyway, not a long time. Just endure it and it'll pass."

Old Qi took a sharp breath after hearing Old Wang's words, his eyes widening, and he said irritably:

"Is that what I mean! I just can't understand, even if you don't pick a commander from among us."

"Don't the Left and Right Xiao Guards have many Spirit Transmutation Middle Stage generals? Just pick one, and it wouldn't have turned out like this."

Old Wang pouted upon hearing this, saying indifferently: "It's the higher-ups' decision anyway, who cares!"

"We should just take care of ourselves and not betray the Wei State Duke Mansion! Thinking too much is just worrying for nothing."

After speaking, Old Wang's restless eyes scanned Old Qi up and down, as if implying that the one worrying for nothing was him.

Old Qi couldn't stand it and roared loudly: "Hey! You brat, see how I'll deal with you."

The people around simultaneously restrained the two, as if this wasn't the first time.

Meanwhile.

Mo Yunxuan returned to the Wei State Duke Mansion. As soon as he turned into the garden, he saw a familiar girl sitting in a pavilion.

Upon clearly seeing the girl's appearance, he suddenly realized that it was his fiancée again!

The girl's name was Meng Zhirou. She was 2 years older than him, but only 1.5 meters tall.

Due to having the same surname, she often called Meng Qianxue 'sister', but they were not related by blood.

But since she was here, Mo Yunxuan naturally had no reason to avoid her, especially since she was his fiancée!

However, in his memory, Meng Zhirou seemed to have a bad habit, just like now.
