Chapter 1199: Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Two: The Gift Chapter 1199: Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety-Two: The Gift “The winds are blocking it, how could it be cold?”

Tang Luo, with his back to the window, said to Yun Xiu with a light laugh, “Moreover, I’m not joking, I just feel that this city is worthy of being called Chaochang only when it’s in your hands.”

Yun Xiu pursed her lips and remained silent, merely standing up and waving two cloud hands, using one on either side to close the open exterior windows from the inside.

What also closed were the hopes and joys that had just begun to grow in her heart.

She walked forward, threw herself into Tang Luo’s arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and rested her head on the man’s left chest, murmuring softly, “Don’t take risks, and don’t give me hope, what I have now is already enough.”

The failure of the Yun Clan not only crushed the pride of the Hawk Faction but also the confidence of the eldest daughter, facing the Xiang Family alliance that was rising like the sun, the once reckless oriole found it hard to muster the courage to sing again.

Embracing the girl in his arms and feeling her panic and trembling, Tang Luo said softly, “It’s not enough, you deserve better, and Chaochang deserves better.”

“Chaochang will be better,” Yun Xiu closed her eyes and buried her head even deeper into Tang Luo’s chest, “it will be, for sure.”

“Don’t you want to hear my plan?” Tang Luo tightened his embrace on the little person in his arms and gently patted her back, coaxing her in a voice like one would use with a child, “Come on, listen, I’m not going to act recklessly like your brother, the success rate should be very high!”

“Why do you have to do this?” Yun Xiu looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and asked.

“I remember reading in some book that once, the number of gallant suitors coming to Yun Family in Chaochang for courtship was endless, and to win the heart of Miss Yun, these gallants exhausted their family resources to collect what they considered the most precious treasures as a bridal token, attempting to move Miss Yun’s heart.”

Tang Luo said with a smile, “Although the situation has changed a little now, the rules should still be followed. I’m about to marry the Yun Clan’s head family’s eldest daughter and bring her home; the betrothal gift can’t be shabby, right? So after thinking it over, the only thing I can present that’s worthy is this city of Chaochang.”

“You’ve been fooled.” Yun Xiu, leaning in Tang Luo’s arms, wrinkled her cute nose and playfully said, “Marrying a girl from the Yun Family doesn’t require any bridal gift. Those who came with treasures to buy a bride, not one of them married a Miss Yun.”

With that, Yun Xiu loosened her left hand from around Tang Luo’s waist and placed it gently on the man’s sturdy chest, looking up and saying, “Marrying a wife requires sincerity, not money or treasures; women marry a man, not some kind of treasure.”

“Blind trust in books is worse than no books at all. The ancients did not deceive me!” Tang Luo exclaimed, then asked, “But that book talked so convincingly, saying the Yun Family women despised poverty and loved wealth, and many divorced because they were dissatisfied with their husband’s family assets. That’s not a lie, is it?”

“Hmph, the writer of that book is really a thief.”

Yun Xiu indignantly said, “If you trace back the family histories of those divorces, you would find that many of the Yun Family misses started from scratch with their husbands. It’s just that men, after gaining wealth and status, changed; their horizons broadened, and naturally, they no longer valued their once beloved partners. After all, which man doesn’t like the dazzling world out there?”

At this point, Yun Xiu seemed to suddenly remember something, released her embracing arms, and looked up defiantly, “You’re the same, aren’t you!”

“Not at all, not at all. I’m a person with a rather narrow heart; there’s room for not many, practically filled by just one.”

Seeing Yun Xiu trying to pull away, Tang Luo could hardly bear it. He immediately tightened his arms and changed the topic, “Let’s not talk about this, you should listen to my plan. It’s low risk and high reward, guaranteed to be more feasible than your brother’s plan!”

Unable to break free or to contend, Miss Yun looked up with her shining eyes at Tang Luo and said, “I’m listening, but if there’s any danger, don’t do it!”

“Absolutely no danger, it’s very stable!” Tang Luo grinned and said, “Look, now that the Twelve Aristocratic Families have joined the Cloud Summit Council under the pretext of allying with the Xiang Family, but you’ve seen what they are doing; they’re just grabbing the rights originally held by the Xiang Family in Chaochang.”

“Just a few months, and the honeymoon period between the Xiang Family and the Twelve Aristocratic Families is already over. What do you think those Twelve Aristocratic Families will do next?”

Reminded by Tang Luo like this, Yun Xiu suddenly had a flash of spiritual light but immediately dismissed the crazy idea, negating herself, “No way… even if they really did that, the Xiang Family surely won’t let them do as they please, they won’t give up Chaochang.”

“That’s for certain,” Tang Luo laughed. “The Xiang Family won’t give up on Chaochang, but think carefully, what is their only tie to Chaochang in the name of justice?”

“Are you talking about Xiang Loulan and Yun Xiu?”

“Exactly!” Tang Luo nodded. “The marriage between Xiang Loulan and City Lord Yun Xiu is the only tie the Xiang Family has to remain in Chaochang, or rather, their most advantageous weapon against the Twelve Aristocratic Families right now is that puppet city lord.”

“What are you planning to do?”

“I’m thinking, if Xiang Loulan were to be divorced, and the puppet city lord were to lean towards the Twelve Aristocratic Families, what reason would the Xiang Family have left to stay in Chaochang?”

“…Is this your plan?”

“How about it, doesn’t it sound quite feasible?”

“Do you know who that puppet city lord is?”

“Who?”

“She is Xiang Loulan’s… younger sister!”

Yun Xiu articulated each word deliberately.

“So what?”

Tang Luo shrugged carelessly, “Who she is doesn’t matter at all. What matters is, how to find an opportunity to come into contact with both Xiang Loulan and City Lord Yun Xiu.”

“What do you mean?”

“The meaning is quite clear,” Tang Luo’s smile was as cunning as a fox. “Use the real Yun Xiu to replace the fake Yun Xiu, and then use the Twelve Aristocratic Families to drive the Xiang Family out of Chaochang!”

“This…” Yun Xiu’s mouth fell open in shock upon hearing the full plan for the first time, unable to hide her amazement. “Is it possible?”

“Why wouldn’t it be possible.”

Tang Luo spoke earnestly, “Just find an opportunity to assassinate Xiang Loulan and the fake Yun Xiu. If successful, you can smoothly take her place, then have Wind Media show goodwill to the leaders of the Twelve Aristocratic Families. They are all shrewd people, just a hint will make them understand what to do!”

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger!”

As Tang Luo explained half of the plan, watching Yun Xiu’s shocked face, he added, “You’ll play the fake Yun Xiu, and I’ll play the critically wounded Xiang Loulan…”

“No way.”

Yun Xiu interrupted him before he could finish, “It’s too dangerous. You’re still recovering from serious injuries. If anything goes wrong, it would be disastrous. Let me do it.”

“You underestimate me!”

Tang Luo waved his hand, “This plan won’t be implemented so soon. We need to first get a clear picture of Xiang Loulan and Yun Xiu’s movements and physical characteristics. It will take some time, and by then, my injuries should have significantly healed, no problem!”
