Chapter 139

Xiao Yu had set up a meeting to discuss the plans to attack the enemy when Housekeeper Hong stopped him. He smiled: “Master, you are 18 years old now. There is one thing you have to do as soon as possible.”

Xiao Yu couldn’t help but ask: “Uncle Hong, what thing?”

Housekeeper Hong smiled: “Young master, how can you forget this? Master had helped you by setting up a marriage back then. You are going to be 18 soon and its time to get married. The territory is stable now and its developing… So it is time to marry.”

“What!?” Xiao Yu jumped up from his seat. He carefully went through the memories of previous Xiao Yu. There was a marriage!

In this era, people agreed to marry their kids from an early age. They didn’t even think how the looks of their kids would be when they grow up! Xiao Zhan Tian was a hero who was known world-wide. He had set up marriage to all of his sons from an early time.

Xiao Yu’s brother had gotten married early and there was pile of widows in the house. Xiao Yu was the youngest one and his age just got 18 now. So Housekeeper had brought up this matter.

“I have just destroyed bandits… I’m still young and not so anxious to get married… What about I kill Carrie and his father then go for the marriage?” Xiao Yu was resisting the marriage from bottom of his heart. He wanted to find the girl on his own which he felt would be more appropriate.

Housekeeper Hong immediately replied: “We can’t drag this matter. Other things can be dragged but not this. Xiao family has no successor! How come you haven’t paid attention to this? I have already sent people to notify master Lin that you will be visiting in few days. If you don’t go then the promise from that year will be breached and people will lose faith in word of world famous general…”

Housekeeper Hong came up with lots of reasons for Xiao Yu to go to meet his future wife. Xiao Yu almost drowned in all those reasons. Nevertheless, Xiao Yu couldn’t get angry at Housekeeper Hong. He listened with patience. The old man was like a father to him. It was undeniable that housekeeper was doing it for Xiao Yu’s and territory’s good.

Xiao Yu came up with an excuse to delay the thing so that he could discuss attack plan with Mu Lee and others. However, all of them stood aside when Housekeeper Hong told them about the marriage. They even agreed that Xiao Yu should get married and supported Housekeeper Hong’s decision. Xiao yu frowned as he couldn’t do anything. Even his sisters-in-law came in to explain Xiao Yu and advise him to get married early. Xiao Yu felt like a lone wolf who wasn’t supported by anyone.

So he decided to go to Lin family to see how his fiancee Lin Muxue looked.

Of course, he wasn’t planning to stay idle during that time. He planned to use different forces to harass Carrie’s father’s territory.

He couldn’t move Arthas and the ghouls a lot so as not to be suspected by others. He decided to use batriders, raiders and hunters for harassment as they were fast and mobile.

In short, he decided to go to Lin family. The house of the Lin family was in Shire city which was the capital of Lancaster Grand Duchy.
