Liaodong, Qingni City.

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

"My general is willing to marry the Lord Li and marry the eldest son. From then on, the two families have formed the Qin and Jin dynasties and will never violate each other." The envoy said, "However, our Lord has a request, which is to marry the Lord Li's daughter to the Lord Li's house at the same time as he joins the Li family."

Before the messenger could finish his words, Li Lingfu's third son Li Juli stood up, pointed at the messenger and cursed: "What kind of thing is Wang Pu? Our family is willing to marry his daughter, so we can already look down on him. He doesn't even spread instant noodles to take a look. He dares to ask my little sister to marry him!"

"The third brother, don't be rude!" Li Lingfu scolded. However, although he scolded Li Juli, he did not agree to Wang Pu's proposal. He asked him to go to Duli Town to propose marriage, but in fact he was just a hundred years of oppression by Duli Town before, and the Li family in Qingnipu has been bullied by Aiduli Town for a hundred years. Now he has finally defeated Duli Town once, and he can't help but be excited. Proposing marriage 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 outrageous.

"Please don't get angry, Lord Li said that in order to show his importance to the Li family's young lady, the Wang family is willing to take out 1,000 war horses, 3,000 cows, 1,000 sheep, 1,000 gold, 5,000 silver, 1,000 spices, and 1,000 silk as betrothal gifts. In addition, if the two families have good deeds, then the dowry of my little lady is the same."

This messenger was just a direct person, and he turned the dowry that Wang Wanjun brought to Wuhu Island into a betrothal gift without changing it. This was indeed a generous betrothal gift, worth 200,000 yuan. Even the top wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty, such a betrothal gift could be considered top-notch.

Although he had just defeated Duli Town and was about to receive a compensation of one million yuan, the money was still touching. Especially for a thousand war horses, Li Lingfu was even more moved. However, he was still a little reluctant to marry his daughter to the Wang family.

"Zhongmou, I think this matter can be agreed, but we don't have to marry our elder sister, we can marry our second sister." The boss manager Li Meng whispered in Li Lingfu's ear. The elder sister is Li Lingfu's legitimate daughter, but the second sister was born to Li Lingfu and his concubine. His mother said she was a concubine. In fact, she was just a Silla slave, and she became a concubine after giving birth to her second sister. For families like Li Lingfu, girls like the second sister are actually very low in the clan. Their fate is generally used for marriage, but most of them are married to middle-level officers under their jurisdiction.

Li Meng's words seemed a bit ruthless, but they were in line with the concept of the great clan in this era. A illegitimate family woman married the other party to exchange for relatives. Not only could she exchange for the other party's legitimate daughter, but the dowry and betrothal gifts combined, but it was as high as 400,000 yuan, especially the two thousand war horses, which were definitely quite precious to Qingnipu, which had an elite cavalry. Moreover, the war horses could not only be used by themselves, but also the only equivalent to the magical fire that can be exchanged from Shamen Town for return from Divine Fire.

Li Lingfu was also a little moved. He was neither close to his illegitimate daughter nor had too much feelings for him. However, he was still a little hesitant, "I heard that the lord of the city has three sons, but the oldest is only twelve, the remaining two are eight years old and the other are five years old, and none are adults. How can we marry?"

The messenger smiled. "The twelve years old is not young anymore. Now I will marry you. Wait for another three years before I can get married."

"It's better to wait three more years and I'll send my daughter."

"This is not very good. My city lord said it is best for two families to marry each other at the same time, so that the joy will be even more joyful. Double happiness will come."

Li Lingfu frowned, and the development of the matter was as expected. "You allow us to consider it and reply later."

The result of consideration and discussion was obvious. No one would take the happiness of a illegitimate woman seriously. In this era, even the legitimate daughter sometimes had to sacrifice her for the benefit of the family. What's more, she was just a illegitimate woman born to a slave of Silla. The result was soon revealed, and the Li family unanimously agreed to Wang Pu's request.

The next thing developed very quickly. Wang Pu quickly sent him to welcome the bride and picked up his second sister. However, the Wang family did not send Wan Jun as promised, and even the promised begging gifts and dowry were said to be in preparation. Moreover, the one million yuan in compensation from Qingnipu was not delivered on time.

This result made Li Lingfu a little angry. He originally gave his daughter so easily, but he didn't care much about this daughter. Moreover, he never thought that the Wang family would repeat this matter.

Several troops were sent to Duli Town to welcome the bride, but in the end, Wang Xiaoma happened to be sick, and Wang Pu hoped to postpone the day of sending the bride.

After more than ten days of this, the Shinichiba who was sent to Duli Town suddenly rushed 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 by Wang Pu to Wuhu Island in Shamen Town a few days ago. Bei Zhi found out that Wang Pu not only sent his daughter to Wuhu Island, but also sent 1,000 war horses, 3,000 cattle, 1,000 sheep, 5,000 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, 1,000 carts of spices, and 1,000 silk as dowry. Moreover, Duli Town handed over all the three million indemnities and supplies to Li Guan. It was said that Li Guan was now on Wuhu Island. It was rumored that the little lady of the Wang family had married Li Guan as a concubine, and both of them had already had sex on Wuhu Island. It was also said that Li Guan married Wang Pu's daughter as a concubine, and the two families had already formed a marriage alliance."

Bang!

The thick table was knocked apart by Li Lingfu's punch. Li Lingfu's face turned gloomy and red, and his veins were bulging. His eyes were extremely sharp, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

"The news is true?" Li Lingfu said word by word.

"It's basically true. We have confirmed that Wang Xiaoma is indeed in Wuhu Island at the moment, and she did bring the dowry that the Wang family originally promised to give us. In addition, Duli Town has delivered all the three million in compensation to Li Guan. Now the Wang Xiaoma is still on Wuhu Island, and Li Guan also arrived at Wuhu Island seven days ago and is still here."

"Father, Li Guan betrayed us!" Li Juli shouted.

"When did the Wang family's daughter arrive at Wuhu Island, and when did Li Guan arrive at Wuhu Island?" Li Lingfu was still trying his best to remain calm.

"It was all the Wuhu Island that the Wang family's wife arrived in the morning seven days ago, and Li Guan arrived at noon, front and back feet."

"Are the rumors of their marriage rumored?"

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

Li Lingfu turned his head and looked at Li Meng, "Uncle Meng, please help me determine whether Li Guan has betrayed us and has formed an alliance with Duli Town."

Li Meng also looked ugly, and no one expected such a thing to happen. The boss thought for a while, and finally said slowly: "I think there may be any misunderstandings in this matter. We are all familiar with Li Guan, and we still understand it. Although I heard that the little lady of the Wang family is beautiful, he should never be a person who forgets his righteousness when he sees sex. What's more, Duli Town and Qingnipu, who is his friend and who is his enemy. He should know what's wrong with this. I think it's better to find someone to go to Wuhu Island to ask Li Guan personally and listen to his personal reply. Don't make any judgments easily. Be careful that this is the plan of Duli Town's discord."

The alliance between Qingnipu and Shamen Town was just a simple alliance at the beginning. But now, the relationship between the two families is very close. It can even be said that in this alliance, Shamen Town began to occupy a more dominant position. Qingnipu relies more on each other than Shamen Town. The boss thought a lot and looked at things more accurately.

"I hope so!" Li Lingfu nodded with a gloomy face. Although he believed the boss's words, this matter was still like eating a fly, which made him disgusted. The messenger sent to Wuhu Island came back soon, bringing the latest results.

"Li Guan said that Wang Pu really wanted to marry him, and directly sent his daughter and dowry to the island. However, he said he did not agree. Because Wang Wanjun had been forcing him to die and refused to go back, he temporarily let her stay on the island, but there was no other connection. And he also said that he had never heard of us proposing marriage to Wang Pu before."

"Father, Li Guan is just a quibble. How could he not know about us proposing marriage to Wang Pu? And if he really has nothing to do with the daughter of the Wang family, why would he keep her on the island? I don't believe that he would really not be able to send a weak woman back. In the past tense, Li Guan has secretly formed an alliance with Duli Town. Otherwise, why did Duli Town deliver all the three million compensation so quickly, and we haven't seen a penny of our millions. Father, we have to be careful. If he joins forces with Duli Town, we are afraid that their next target will be us." The third brother kept seeing Li Guan Youxing, and said loudly at this time.

"Enough!" Li Lingfu scolded him irritably, "Since Li Guan has explained, we will believe him once. He is our ally and my bloody brother. You have kowtowed and called his uncle. You still have the trust you should have." Despite this, Li Lingfu himself was hesitant, not knowing whether he could still trust Li Guan.

"Father, beware of others." The second son Li Juyi also spoke: "The child also sent someone to inquire and heard two bad news."

"What news?"

"First, although Duli Town gave Li Guan all the compensation, it did not hand over the Feng Changgui clan to Li Guan as stated in the original contract terms. Feng Changgui's sister is Wang Pu's wife and Wang Wanjun's uncle. Secondly, Li Guan received the compensation, but we had not received a penny. Li Guan had already ordered yesterday to let the troops gathered on Wuhu Island return to the various islands of Shamen Town one after another."

Li Lingfu was shocked: "Have Li Guan withdrawn his troops?"

"Yes, father."

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