God-slaughtering Battle King

Su Xiaoxiao's musical skills had already become famous in the capital. At the Empress' birthday ceremony, she was invited to play a piece. She would not reject such an opportunity.    

"Su Xiaoxiao did not cultivate and must have an ordinary background. When she came to the Imperial Palace... You can bring her around to broaden her horizons and see this magnificent and magnificent scene. Such a noble and luxurious scene, I'm sure you have different thoughts." Cao Yu said.    

"En, I'll leave this matter to you. As for Mother, I'll go and tell her."    

Xuan Wuyu said.    

Su Xiaoxiao's zither skills were unparalleled in the capital. If he could invite her over, mother would not have any objections.    

"Yes, my king." Cao Yu said respectfully.    

He came out of Xuan Wuyu's room and thought for a while, then walked towards the Treasure Pavilion.    

In his opinion, this matter was really simple.    

...    

"Second Manager, there is a man who called himself Cao Yu outside the door requesting to see you. He said that it is Second Prince's Mentor."    

The fat man was in the midst of settling the accounts when a beautiful shop assistant came over and said.    

"Oh, he came again so quickly." Fatty's eyes rolled a few times, "Please go to the reception room."    

He thought for a moment, then got up and left.    

"Greetings, Zhao Young Lord." Cao Yu cupped his hands towards the fat man and said.    

Although he was Second Prince's Mentor, the fat man was the Young Lord of Zhao Family. His status was not lower than his. On the contrary, he was more respected.    

"Cao Mentor, may I know why you are here?" The fat man said.    

"Five days later is the Empress' birthday ceremony. My Mistress wants to invite Miss Su to play a song to liven up the ceremony." Cao Yu said.    

"Such a good opportunity." The fat man said in surprise, "No matter who it is, it is a great honor!"    

"Young Lord is right. Not everyone can have such an opportunity." Cao Yu was delighted in his heart. This matter was indeed easy.    

Playing a song at the Empress' birthday ceremony was a great honor, and it could even make the world know about it. This kind of temptation, ordinary people could not reject.    

"It is indeed so." The fatty nodded his head and immediately felt very regretful, "It's just that, alas, it's a pity that Xiaoxiao's life is not good. She missed such a great opportunity!"    

Cao Yu frowned slightly. "What do you mean by that, Young Lord?"    

"An hour ago, Xiaoxiao went back to visit her family. What a coincidence." The fat man said.    

Lin Yue entrusted Su Xiaoxiao to him to take care of her. Now, she was only playing in the Treasure Pavilion and was already famous in the capital.    

If he really let her play the zither at the Empress' Grand Ceremony, it would probably attract the attention of countless high-ranking officials and nobles. It would be difficult to live a quiet life in the future.    

So, no matter what, he could not let Su Xiaoxiao participate in this banquet.    

"What!?" Cao Yu was shocked, "Where is Miss Xiaoxiao's house? I will chase after her."    

The fatty smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I don't know either."    

"Young Lord, don't joke around. She's from your Treasure Pavilion. How could she not know?" Cao Yu said.    

"You might not know, but I haven't known Miss Su for long. At that time, she was penniless. She asked for water from my store and played a song to repay me." Fatty casually made up a story, "When I heard that she played really well, I discussed it with her. Let her come here every day to play a song. I'll give her some money as compensation. "    

Cao Yu's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. This damn fatty was clearly talking nonsense, but he could not find any flaws to refute.    

"Does that Young Lord know if she will come back?" He said patiently.    

"Ah, she only said that she will go back to visit her family. She did not say that she will not come back. But I guess she will come back. After all, I give her one gold coin every day." Fatty said.    

Cao Yu had just drank a mouthful of tea and wanted to catch his breath. However, when he heard this, he spat out a mouthful of water.    

Although he had never heard Su Xiaoxiao play the zither, he saw that Xuan Wuyu had a very high evaluation of her and praised her musical skills as the best in the capital.    

He did not expect that this damn fatty would only pay her one gold coin per day!    

And looking at the fatty's appearance, he seemed to feel some heartache.    

This was simply a waste of heaven's gifts, a great waste!    

If she was willing to follow Xuan Wuyu, even if he gave her ten thousand gold taels every day, it wouldn't be a problem.    

"Cao Mentor, don't you think that you have given me too much money?" Fatty said, "Actually, I think it's a bit too much, but after all, it's not easy for her to be young. One gold coin is fine."    

Cao Yu had just coughed a few times, but now he heard it and coughed even harder.    

This fat man owned a spirit mine and almost monopolized the fabric of the capital. Even the cloth donated by the royal family was bought by the textile factory.    

And this Treasure Pavilion also had a surging source of wealth every day. He didn't think that he would be so stingy.    

More importantly, Su Xiaoxiao was playing for one gold coin. If it wasn't for the fatty's nonsense, Su Xiaoxiao would be in need of money.    

"Young Lord, don't joke around. I am carrying Second Prince's orders this time. If I can't finish it, it will be hard for me to report." Cao Yu said with a crying face.    

He had thought that this was a very simple mission, but who would have thought that it would be like this?    

He didn't believe most of Fatty's words.    

"Cao Mentor, every word I say is true." Fatty said very seriously, "I swear to my own flesh that if I lie, I will lose a hundred jin of meat!"    

Cao Yu's vision darkened, and he almost fainted.    

The fat man was about 300 pounds now. He would definitely want to lose 100 pounds of meat to lose weight. This was not an oath. This was simply a declaration of losing weight!    

It seemed like the fat man was planning to continue pestering him. There was no point in staying here any longer.    

Cao Yu bid farewell to Fatty and hurried back. What he was looking forward to was that Second Prince did not go to the Empress to tell Su Xiaoxiao to play at the birthday ceremony.    

However, after he returned, he was told that Second Prince went to the Empress's place.    

"What should we do this time?" Cao Yu let out a long sigh.    

It would be fine if the Empress did not agree, but if she did, Su Xiaoxiao would not be able to come. This would be a big deal.    

His mind quickly operated. If the fatty was an ordinary person, it would be fine. He directly sent people to the Treasure Pavilion to search.    

But the fatty was the Zhao Family's young master, so he could not be easily offended.    

Especially when the Zhao Family was secretly fighting for power and power among the princes, they maintained a neutral position.    

If they offended the Zhao Family, it would be equivalent to giving a major power to their opponent. Such an act was extremely stupid, and they wouldn't do it unless they had no other choice.    

Now, they could only wait for Second Prince to return before discussing what to do.    

Of course, it would be better if the Empress didn't agree to this matter.    

While waiting anxiously, Second Prince finally returned.    

"What's wrong?" Xuan Wuyu looked at him and a bad feeling rose in his heart, "The matter didn't succeed?"    

Cao Yu nodded and told him everything.    

"Ha, this damn fatty is doing this again."    

Xuan Wuyu sneered, "I have already told mother that I will arrange a performance for Su Xiaoxiao to play at the birthday ceremony. No matter what, I want her to come."    

Cao Yu was shocked in his heart. The thing that he was most worried about had still happened.    

Xuan Wuyu glanced at Cao Yu. He was not to be blamed for this. When he met a fat man who was full of nonsense, no one would dare to say anything.    

He had to make another trip to this matter.    

Because this matter was very important, he didn't delay and immediately went to the Treasure Pavilion.    

The fatty didn't expect that after sending Cao Yu away, Xuan Wuyu would return. Today's matter was truly a little difficult to deal with.    

"    

Fatty Zhao, what are you trying to do? I just want Su Xiaoxiao to play a song, I won't eat her."    

Xuan Wuyu said directly to him.    

Lil' Fatty Zhao's name was a nickname he had used when they played together when they were young.    

Xuan Wuyu had always called this name when he came in, not by the name of the fatty. Naturally, he had the intention of trying to build a good rapport with him.    

After all, the Zhao Family's power could not be underestimated. If he could rope them in and fight against Xuan Wuchen, he would have some confidence.    

Furthermore, ever since the Hao Family had once again competed for Young Lord's identity, Hao Rann had once again obtained Young Lord's identity. The Hao Family and the Zhao Family had the intention of forming an alliance.    

Because, back then, the fatty said that Hao Rann had a third of the share of the spirit ore mine, which allowed Hao Rann to obtain the position of Young Lord once again.    

Now that the Zhao Family and the Hao Family had joined hands, whoever got the help of the Zhao Family would be able to get the help of the Hao Family as well.    

No prince was willing to give up such a force.    

"Where did the Second Prince come from?" The fatty looked very surprised. "I've already made it very clear to Cao Muqing. Did he not convey it?"    

"Don't talk nonsense with me here. Even if you don't want Su Xiaoxiao to go, have you asked her for her opinion? Perhaps she still wants to go. It's such a good opportunity. I'm afraid no one will reject it."    

Xuan Wuyu said.    

"Opportunities are rare, but it's really a pity..."    

"Fatty!" There was a trace of anger in Xuan Wuyu's tone, "Regarding this matter, Mother Empress has already agreed. If Su Xiaoxiao is unable to go at that time, wouldn't you be slapping my face?"    

Previously, he had wanted to use the Empress' birthday ceremony to get closer to Su Xiaoxiao, but who would have thought that it would be like this? It made it hard for him to back down and the situation was very passive.    

Now, if he told the Empress that he was not invited, it would be too shameful.    

Fatty rubbed his nose, thinking that this had nothing to do with him. If it wasn't for the friendship when he was young, he would have closed his doors and refused guests.    

"Even if you do me a favor, will you?"    

Xuan Wuyu saw that Fatty looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. His tone softened again, "Count it as me owing you a favor."    

Fatty looked at him and sighed. "Then I'll send someone out to look for him. See if they can find him. If they find it, I'll give you a reply tomorrow."    

One. The favor of the Second Prince was quite significant.    

Furthermore, judging from Xuan Wuyu's reaction, if he were to reject the offer, it was hard to guarantee that he would not do something unexpected.    

Of course, the fatty would seek Su Xiaoxiao's opinion, so he did not say that Su Xiaoxiao would definitely go.    

"Alright, then I will wait for your news."    

Xuan Wuyu felt relieved in his heart.    

He was sure that Su Xiaoxiao was still in the pavilion. The reason why the fatty said that was just to make up for what he said earlier.
