I Conquer the World For My Duke - C101

Bai Zheng knew that the two elders were giving her courage, and a warm feeling filled her heart. She smiled and replied, “With His Highness Wen King and the Old Duke here, Zheng is not afraid.”

“Little girl, you forgot about Ayuan again!” The Old Duke laughed heartily.

Everyone immediately laughed out loud.

As they chatted, a young man walked into the hall under Bai Fu’s guidance.

Bai Zheng stood behind Bai Yinan and looked over.

The man’s body was tall and straight. His calm eyes hid a gaze as sharp as a falcon. When matched with his handsome face that seemed to have been carved out from the depths of space, his valiant aura was even more intimidating.

“I am Zhuo Lingxiao. Greetings, Master Bai. Greetings, Dingyuan Marquis. Greetings, two sirs …. “Milord.”

It was clear that he had received the corresponding training, even if he did not recognize the Wen King and Old Duke Zhou, this Xuanning King still respected the etiquette of Great Zhou very much, bowing to the people in the hall one by one, until his gaze landed on Bai Zheng.

Zhuo Lingxiao’s gaze became even sharper, and looked at Bai Zheng without any hesitation, before speaking slowly.

“This is the future Wife of Dingyuan Marquis, Miss Bai Zheng right?”

Facing Zhuo Lingxiao’s gaze that was sizing him up, Bai Zheng acted as if she did not feel it, she smiled and stepped forward to return the greeting: “Bai Zheng, greets Decedent.”

Zhuo Lingxiao’s eyes flashed with a strange look, and after a while, he suddenly laughed out loud. “Master Hou, you have good eyes, it seems that this little madam is a powerful character.”

Feng Linyuan smiled slightly: “Zheng is timid, Decedent, don’t scare her.”

Zhuo Lingxiao laughed clearly, “Master Hou, don’t worry. How can I, your Decedent, be someone who doesn’t know how to show mercy to the fairer sex? Madam Hou is elegant and generous, and is definitely not a timid person like Master Hou had said. It is actually a good match for the gift that I, Big Beam, have prepared. ”

Bai Yinan timely laughed: “Decedent is flattering me. My family’s little girl only got the chance to marry into the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis with the good fortune of three lives, empty-handed even under the title of Madam Hou. In reality, she is only an insensible child, why would she need to come all the way from Decedent to deliver gifts? ”

Zhuo Lingxiao looked at Bai Zheng with a deeper meaning, “Everyone will know when you see this gift of mine, whether Miss Bai is worthy of it or not.”

Hearing this, Bai Zheng had a bad premonition.

Zhuo Lingxiao clapped his hands lightly. A man who looked like a bodyguard came up with a long and narrow carved wooden box in his hands.

“Is this the present Decedent prepared for my daughter?” Bai Yinan glanced at it and asked.

Zhuo Lingxiao nodded, his eyes staring straight at Bai Zheng, he raised his hand: “Miss Bai, why don’t you open it yourself?”

Bai Zheng looked at the shape of the box, and knew that this gift was not a normal jewel, after pondering for a moment, she raised his eyes, and blinked his eyes at Zhuo Lingxiao, and revealed a smile: “Then Bai Zheng will not be courteous.”

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Bai Yinan instinctively wanted to stop them, but when he saw Feng Linyuan’s calm face, Wen King and Old Duke Zhou’s expressions did not change.

Yes, even if Zhuo Lingxiao was even more daring, he would not choose this time to make a move against Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng extended a finger, hooked the lock on the wooden box, and then raised her head to look at Zhuo Lingxiao.

Zhuo Lingxiao slightly nodded his head, and then, he opened the wooden box.

Immediately, a burst of biting cold air met his eyes.

Inside the exquisite wooden box was a long sword.

Seeing the sword, Feng Linyuan’s face changed.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the Wen King say in a deep voice: “Master Hou’s wedding day, why would Decedent give this thing to you?”

Old Duke Zhou thought for a moment, then laughed and said, “Perhaps Xiliang’s customs are different from my own, which is why there are misunderstandings. Decedent might not know, but in our Great Zhou, swords are deadly weapons and are ominous. On such a happy day, Decedent should take back this sword. ”

Bai Yinan repeatedly said, “That’s right, we can’t accept this gift. We’ll accept Decedent’s kind intentions, but the thing is still …”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Zhuo Lingxiao: “Weapon, unknown?”

The tip of his eyebrows slightly raised as he casually glanced at Bai Yinan, “This is a gift that my Dazhou, for congratulating the Marquis, has put in a lot of effort to find. I never would have thought that none of you all would recognize what treasure sword it is. ”

Hearing the disdain in Zhuo Lingxiao’s tone, Bai Zheng’s heart moved, and she carefully looked at the sword in the box.

The sword had a simple shape, its entire body was black, its scabbard was covered in diamond-shaped dark markings, clearly carved into the shape of a blade, the hilt of the golden phoenix carved on it was mighty and dignified. Although the sword was hidden in its scabbard, he could still feel the biting cold killing intent.

It was obvious that this was a peerless treasure sword that could swallow blood ten thousand miles if it was unsheathed.

“It’s just that no one else could recognize it. Dingyuan Marquis, I think you should recognize it.” Zhuo Lingxiao looked at Feng Linyuan with a smile that was not really a smile.

Hearing that, everyone looked at the silent Feng Linyuan.

“Could it be …” Wen King suddenly thought of something, “Is this a Phoenix Cry?”

Zhuo Lingxiao smiled. “That’s right, this is the Phoenix Cry.”

The expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

The Phoenix Cry Sword was the sword that belonged to the Senior Marquis Feng Zhen. Or rather, it was the weapon that could be used by all the Dingyuan Marquis s on the battlefield.

It was said that the moment the Phoenix Cry appeared, the situation changed.

The Phoenix Cry Sword was the most infamous sword in the entire Great Zhou, and its reputation was not inferior to any of the famous swords. Every year, there would be countless assassins that trespassed into the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis, because of this sword.

As an existence that was passed down in the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis, it was bestowed upon the first generation of Marquis Dingyuan’s blood brother, the emperor who founded the nation.

It had followed generations of Dingyuan Marquis to travel unrivalled throughout the world. As for how many people it had killed and drank too much blood, perhaps no one knew.

Until seven years ago, when Senior Marquis Feng Zhen died in battle at Yancheng and when Feng Linyuan was severely injured, he had no intention of controlling it. Only then did the Phoenix Cry sword disappear without a trace.

It was unknown how many people searched in the open and in secret, but it was nowhere to be seen.

This way, this gift was indeed the most suitable to be gifted to Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis, and was also the one with the most obvious sincerity.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Zhuo Lingxiao said in satisfaction: “I heard that after the Phoenix Cry Sword was lost, my royal father was extremely anxious. It took a lot of effort and effort to find the sword. It is a good opportunity for us to return to our original owners on Dingyuan Marquis’s happy day. ”

Bai Yinan stood up, bowed to Zhuo Lingxiao, and said with a solemn face: “Such a generous gift, I must thank Decedent.”

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Phoenix Cry Sword was a national treasure of Great Zhou.

For Zhuo Lingxiao to give such a gift, not only would the entire Great Zhou be grateful, it was so.

“Master Hou, are you satisfied with this Decedent’s gift?” Zhuo Lingxiao couldn’t help but ask when he saw the most happy Feng Linyuan being expressionless.

Feng Linyuan then revealed a gentle smile, “Of course. Decedent, please convey my thanks on behalf of this marquis. This marquis will always remember Xuanning King’s good intentions. ”

Bai Zheng also nodded, “Bai Zheng is also extremely grateful. Uncle Fu, quickly put away this sword, it is incomparably well-kept. ”

Hearing that, Bai Fu immediately went forward to receive the sword case, but was blocked by Zhuo Lingxiao.

“Hold on.”
