"To break off the engagement without authorization is to defy an imperial decree!"
Xu Fengnian slapped Xu Xiao hard on the back, "Xu Xiao, who are you trying to fool!"
"Haven't you defied enough imperial decrees?"
"Last year, the imperial court ordered you to rush to the aid of Jiange to help resist the barbarians. Did you go?"
"Two years ago, the imperial court said that Lu Qiu'er and his men were abusing the people and that military discipline was chaotic. Did you handle that?"
"Furthermore, when did you ever report the true situation regarding the strategies for defending against the Northern Barbarians that the court asked you to submit?"
Upon hearing these words, Xu Xiao suddenly seemed ten years younger!
"My son Fengnian has the makings of a wise king!"
"I never imagined you'd start secretly paying attention to the politics of Northern Liang!"
Xu Fengnian retorted angrily, "Bullshit! I specifically asked Lu Qiu'er about this, just to shut you up!"
Xu Xiao wasn't angry at all, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you this time!"
"I also want to see if my son Fengnian's plan can help Weixiong cancel this engagement!"
Xu Fengnian added, "Oh, right, let Lu Qiu'er go too!"
"With Lu Qiu'er around, no one in this Li Yang world can hurt my second sister!"
Seven days later.
Yongzhou, Jincheng.
At this moment, Li Chang'an is listening to music and watching dances in the most luxurious brothel, Meixian Courtyard.
High-class brothels are often named after courtyards, halls, or pavilions.
Lower-class brothels often used names like "class," "building," or "shop."
Whenever Li Chang'an thinks about the knowledge he has gained in the new world, he can't help but sigh that nuclear war has still erased some aspects of culture.
The most popular brothel in the world of Joy of Life is called Drunken Immortal Pavilion, what a disgrace!
Seven or eight scions of prominent families in the city were all Li Chang'an's cronies.
The graceful dancer, seemingly boneless, with a slender waist and delicate arms, danced with exquisite movements.
In this sensual and ambiguous atmosphere, the playboys were parched and burning with lust.
However, Li Chang'an found it utterly boring!
Because his singing was so bad, he missed Sang Wen.
However, this world also has singers and dancers, such as the milk turtle Youwei, who is a master of both singing and dancing.
Once I've mastered all my martial arts, I'll definitely find her and have a proper appreciation of her singing voice.
Over the years, Li Chang'an has made progress in various rankings. The system settled the accounts once and rewarded him with 15,000 Red Dust Points.
Li Chang'an spent 17,000 worldly points to exchange for martial arts skills, lightness skills, and templates for various characters.
Over the years, due to the expansion of the Embroidered Uniform Guard across the country, Li Chang'an's power has gradually risen to over a hundred.
He also achieved some success in wealth and the arts, but Li Chang'an didn't put much effort into it.

After several years of cultivation, Li Chang'an has reached the peak of the second rank.
Just one step away from reaching the first-grade realm.
There are approximately 150 top-tier masters in this world, namely Vajra, Finger Profound, Celestial Phenomenon, and Land Immortal.
Li Chang'an's current strength should be stronger than some martial artists who have just entered the first rank.
Over the years, he has acquired two more martial arts techniques: the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and Crossing the River on a Reed.
The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is an extremely powerful and yang martial art. When combined with the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, it becomes incredibly fierce and powerful.
Crossing the river on a single reed is a light-body technique suitable for Buddhist internal energy cultivation.
In addition, Li Chang'an also exchanged for a group of assassins similar to the Six Sword Slaves, known as the Eight Linglong, to serve as his personal guards who would handle secret matters.
All eight Linglong templates were for second-grade cultivators. Two years ago, after they were redeemed, Li Chang'an found eight people in the Embroidered Uniform Guard to fuse with them.
After the four men and four women merged the template, they had the strength of the early stage of the second rank, and now they basically all have the cultivation of the middle stage of the second rank.
At this moment, Qian Sha, one of the Eight Linglong, came to report.
"Your Highness, the Second Princess of Beiliang has come to annul the engagement, along with Chu Lushan, one of Xu Xiao's six adopted sons."
Upon hearing the name of the Princess of Beiliang, the brothel immediately fell silent.
Upon hearing Chu Lushan's name, the brothel dancers were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
Most people play around with women, but Chu Lushan, he takes lives!
Chapter 173 Arresting the Engagement at the Door! The Arrogant Chu Lushan! (13)
Yongzhou, Jincheng.
The once bustling brothels are now eerily silent!
Li Chang'an, a noble prince, is serving as the son-in-law of the Northern Liang; it's simply beneath his dignity.
The Tang Emperor's memorial arch was erected by the late emperor, and everyone knows this perfectly well.
However, the Tang King was not powerful, that was in comparison to other vassal kings; he was not someone that ordinary powerful clans could afford to offend.
Therefore, when they heard that Xu Weixiong was coming, no one dared to say anything out of turn.
In recent years, especially after the death of the old emperor Zhao Li, the Northern Liang royal family has become increasingly arrogant.
The fact that the Xu family dared to come and cancel the marriage bestowed by the late emperor shows that Xu Xiao was no ordinary person.
Xu Wei and Xiong Wencai were outstanding in chess and card games, but they had only just begun to show their talent. However, Chu Lushan was infamous throughout the land.
Yongzhou borders the three prefectures of Beiliang, and the people there know this man by heart!
As more and more people heard the news, discussions arose one after another.
"One of Xu Xiao's six adopted sons, the hawk and hound among the 'One Tiger, Two Bears, Three Dogs'!"
"This person treats human life like dirt, and especially enjoys torturing and killing women!"
"Upon hearing that a beautiful woman had given birth, he wanted to abduct her to his home to drink her milk!"
"If the breast milk is of good quality, then give a reward of silver to send out!"
If it doesn't taste good, he'll cut off two pieces of its breast!
"They routinely abduct women and disregard human life without batting an eye!"
……
Just then, several armored soldiers stepped into the brothel!
One of the officers strode into the room and headed straight for Li Chang'an.
"Your Highness, the two princesses of Beiliang have entered the city!"
"Prefect Tian invites Your Highness to return to your residence; please do not be impolite!"
Tian Zong, the governor of Yongzhou, was a subordinate of Gu Jiantang and a meritorious official in the conquest of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
After the unification of the country, he was assigned by the court to Yongzhou, where he was still required to keep an eye on Beiliang.
Jincheng was the headquarters of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and Li Chang'an had a firm grip on Tian Zong's every little weakness.
Therefore, all the officials in the governor's office treated Li Chang'an with utmost respect.
Li Chang'an never cared how Tian Zong monitored Bei Liang.
However, Tian Zong's reports to the court on Li Chang'an's performance all required Li Chang'an to review them privately.
"Go back and tell Lord Tian that I am aware of this matter."
"Let Lord Tian do his job well, there's no need to worry too much."
The officer didn't ask any more questions and immediately turned and left.
Li Chang'an said to the dancers, "Don't stop!"
