Liaodong, Qingni City.

The envoy of Duli Town came and brought the reply of the city lord Wang Pu to Li Lingfu's proposal.

"The general of my family is willing to marry the lord of Li City, and marry the little lady to the eldest son, and from then on, the two families will marry Qin and Jin, and they will never offend each other." The envoy said, "However, our city lord has a request, that is, I hope to marry the little lady into the Li family, and at the same time, marry the daughter of the city lord of Li to enter the family of the king of my capital town. ”

Before the envoy's words were finished, Li Lingfu's third son, Li Juli, had already stood up, pointed at the envoy and scolded: "What kind of thing is Wang Pu, our family is willing to marry his daughter, that is already looking up to him." He didn't even take a photo with a bubble face, just by him, he dared to ask my little sister to marry! ”

"Third child, don't be rude!" Li Lingfu scolded. However, although he reprimanded Li Juli, he did not express his agreement with Wang Pu's proposal. He asked people to go to Duli Town to propose marriage, but in fact, he had been suppressed by Duli before, and the Li family of Qingnipu loved Duli Town for a hundred years. Now that he has finally defeated Duli Town once, he can't help but be excited. Proposing to Duli Town is just a revenge and insult to them.

He didn't expect that Wang Pu would dare to propose marriage to his daughter, which was really unreasonable.

"City Lord Li, please don't be angry, my city lord said, in order to show his importance to the little lady of the Li family, the Wang family is willing to take out 1,000 war horses, 3,000 cattle, 10,000 sheep, 1,000 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, 100 carts of spices, and 1,000 pieces of silk as a dowry. In addition, if two good things come into pairs, then the dowry of my little lady is also this number. ”

This envoy was also direct, and it was completely the dowry that Wang Haojun brought to Wuhu Island, and it turned it into a dowry without changing a word. This is indeed a generous dowry. Worth 200,000 yuan. Even if it is the top wealthy family in Datang. Such a dowry. It's top-notch.

Although he has just defeated Duli Town and is about to get a compensation of one million yuan, this money is still exciting. Especially a thousand war horses, which made Li Lingfu even more excited. However, he was still a little reluctant to let him marry his daughter to the Wang family.

"Zhongmou, I think we can agree to this matter, but we don't have to marry the eldest sister out of Lu, we can marry the second sister." The old manager Li Meng whispered in Li Lingfu's ear. The eldest sister is Li Lingfu's daughter-in-law. But the second sister was born to Li Lingfu and his concubine, and his mother said that she was a concubine, but in fact she was just a Silla slave maid, and she only became a concubine after giving birth to a second sister. For a family like Li Lingfu, a girl like the second sister actually has a very low status in the clan. Their fate is usually used for marriage, but most of them are married to those middle-level officers under them.

Li Meng's words seem to be a little ruthless, but they are in line with the concept of the great clan of this era. Using a concubine family woman to marry each other in exchange for relatives can not only exchange for one of the other party's daughters. And the dowry and dowry add up, but as high as 400,000. Especially those two thousand war horses, for Qingnipu, who has an elite cavalry, is definitely quite precious. Moreover, the war horse can not only be used by itself, but it is also the only equivalent that can be exchanged for a weapon like Divine Fire from Shamen Town.

Li Lingfu was also a little moved, he was neither close to that concubine's daughter, nor could he talk about too many feelings. However, he still hesitated, "I heard that the city lord has three sons, but the eldest is only twelve, and the remaining two are eight years old and five years old, none of them are adults, how can they marry?" ”

The messenger smiled, "Twelve years old is not too young, now marry the past, wait another three years, and the marriage will be officially completed." ”

"Then it's better to wait another three years, and I'll send my daughter again."

"This is not very good, my city lord said that it is best to marry the two families at the same time, so that it is more joyful and happy, and double happiness is coming."

Li Lingfu frowned, the development of things was somewhat beyond his expectations. "You allow us to consider it and reply later."

The result of considering the deliberations was obvious, and no one would take the happiness of a concubine woman into account. In this era, even if it is a concubine, sometimes for the sake of family interests, she has to sacrifice it at any time. What's more, it's just a concubine born to a Silla slave. The results came out quickly, and the Li family unanimously agreed to Wang Pu's request.

The next thing developed quickly, and Wang Pu was quickly sent to greet his relatives and pick up the second sister. However, the Wang family did not send the sorry gentleman as promised, and even the dowry and dowry that were said to be good were also presumed to be being prepared. Moreover, the 1 million indemnity of Qingnipu was not delivered on time.

This result made Li Lingfu a little annoyed, originally he sent his daughter out so easily, but he didn't care too much about this daughter. And he didn't think that the Wang family would repeat this matter.

sent several people to Duli Town to welcome relatives, but the result was that Wang Xiaoniang happened to be ill, and Wang Pu hoped to postpone the day of sending relatives.

After more than ten days of this, the messenger sent to Duli Town to greet the messenger suddenly hurried back and brought back a piece of news that shocked Wang Pu.

"The little lady of the Wang family was not sick, but had been sent to Wuhu Island in Shamen Town by Wang Pu a few days ago. When the lowly detective heard the news, he said that Wang Pu not only sent his daughter to Wuhu Island, but also sent 1,000 war horses, 3,000 cattle, 10,000 sheep, 1,000 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, 100 carts of spices, and 1,000 pieces of silk as a dowry. Moreover, Duli Town has handed over all the three million indemnity money, food and materials to Li Jing. I heard that Li Jing is now on Wuhu Island, and it is rumored that the little lady of the Wang family has married Li Jing as a concubine, and the two have already had sex together on Wuhu Island. I also heard that Li Jing married Wang Pu's daughter as a concubine, and the two families have married and formed an alliance. ”

Bang!

The thick table was blown apart by Li Lingfu's punch, and Li Lingfu's face was gloomy and red, and his muscles were bulging. A pair of eyes were extremely sharp, and the whole person was trembling slightly.

"Is the news true?" Li Lingfu said word by word.

"It's basically true, we have determined that Little Lady Wang is indeed on Wuhu Island right now, and she did bring the dowry that the Wang family originally promised us. In addition, Duli Town has handed over all the three million indemnities to Li Jing, and now the little lady of the Wang family is still on Wuhu Island, and Li Jing also arrived on Wuhu Island seven days ago, and he is still there. ”

"Father, Li Jing betrayed us!" Li Juli yelled.

"When did the daughter of the Wang family arrive on Wuhu Island, and when did Li Jing arrive on Wuhu Island?" Li Lingfu is still trying his best to keep his composure.

"It was all seven days ago, the lady of the Wang family arrived on Wuhu Island in the morning, and Li Jing arrived at noon, front and back."

"Is there a rumor about their marriage?"

"It's not a rumor, I personally went to Wuhu Island and secretly inquired. Everyone on Wuhu Island knew about it, and the little lady of the Wang family lived in the town general's mansion. ”

Li Lingfu turned his head to look at Li Meng, "Uncle Meng, you can help me judge whether Li Jing has betrayed us and formed an alliance with Duli Town." ”

Li Meng's face was also ugly, no one thought that such a thing would happen. The old manager pondered for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "I think there may be some misunderstanding in this matter, Li Jing is a person we are all strangers to, and we know it well." Although I heard that the little lady of the Wang family is beautiful and fragrant, he should never be a person who forgets his righteousness. What's more, Duli Town and Qingnipu, he should know who is his friend and who is his enemy. I'm afraid there's something strange about this. In my opinion, it is better for us to go directly to Wuhu Island and ask Li Jing in person, and listen to his personal reply. Don't make judgments lightly, be careful that this is a discordant plan in the town of Tori. ”

The alliance between Qingnipu and Shamen Town was a simple alliance at the beginning. But by now, the relationship between the two families has become very close. It can even be said that in this alliance, the town of Salmon began to dominate more. Qingnipu is more dependent on the other party than Shamen Town. The boss thinks far ahead and sees things more accurately.

"I hope so!" Li Lingfu nodded with a gloomy face, although he also believed the words of the boss, but this matter was still like eating a fly, which made him nauseous. The emissary sent to Wuhu Island soon returned, bringing the latest results.

Li Jing said that Wang Pu really wanted to marry him, and directly sent his daughter and dowry to the island. However, he said that he did not agree, and because Wang Haojun had been forced to die and refused to go back, he let her stay on the island for the time being, but there was absolutely nothing else. And he also said that he had never heard of our proposal to Wang Pu before. ”

"Father, Li Jing is simply quibbling, how could he not know about the matter of our marriage to Wang Pu. And if he really has nothing to do with the daughter of the Wang family, then why did he keep her on the island. I don't believe that he really can't even send a weak woman back. Nine times out of ten, Li Jing has secretly formed an alliance with Duli Town. Otherwise, Duli Town would have paid the three million indemnity so quickly, and our one million has not been seen until now. Father, we have to be careful of Li Jing, in case he joins forces with Duli Town, I'm afraid that their next target will be us. The third child has always had some prejudices against Li Jing, and he said loudly at this time.

"Enough!" Li Lingfu reprimanded him irritably, "Since Li Jing has explained, then we will believe him once, he is our ally and my bloody brother, you have also kowtowed to call him uncle, you still have to have the trust you should have." Having said that, Li Lingfu himself was hesitant in his heart, not knowing if Lu Dao could still trust Li Jing.

"Father, it is indispensable to guard against others." Li Juyi, the second child, who had been silent, also spoke: "The child also sent someone to investigate, and heard two bad news. ‘

"What's the news?"

"First, although Duli Town gave Li Jing all the compensation, he did not hand over Feng Changgui's family to Li Jing as stated in the original contract, and Feng Changgui's sister was Wang Pu's wife and Wang Haojun's uncle. Second, Li Jing received the compensation, but we haven't received a penny. Li Jing had already ordered yesterday to let the soldiers and horses assembled on Wuhu Island begin to return to the islands of Shamen Town one after another. ”

Li Lingfu was taken aback: "Li Jing has withdrawn?" ”

"Yes, father."

Li Lingfu's face was gloomy and scary, and he didn't say a word, but the hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and he kept trembling.
