Wang Yan glared and said, "I'll marry your sister."
"My sister is still young." Cheng Wushuang said, sticking out his tongue.
Wang Yan was almost speechless.
He rolled his eyes and asked Geng Ling, "How old are you this year?"
"Sir, my daughter is seventeen years old this year."
"Seventeen!" Wang Yan was sweating profusely.
You're not even an adult yet, how can you get married?
He grinned and said to another beauty, "What about you?"
"Slave Servant Sixteen."
"Maid Seventeen."
…
Many people volunteered their ages, which gave Wang Yan a headache.
They were all sixteen or seventeen years old, and that wasn't even their full age.
Another week later, he'll be even younger.
In modern society, at their age, they are just students.
Getting married at such a young age, isn’t that a sin?
Cheng Wushuang nodded with satisfaction, "Fortunately, they are all relatively young."
Wang Yan glared at her, "Fuck you."
Cheng Wushuang grinned, "Why are you arguing with my sister?"
Wang Yan rubbed his forehead, almost speechless, "Wushuang, I have a task for you, send them back."
"Send them all away!" Cheng Wushuang blinked his eyes, looking unconvinced.
"Yes, send them all away, leaving no one behind." Wang Yan said with great certainty.
"Sir, please don't!" Someone immediately knelt down and cried.
"If we are sent back, we will have nowhere to go."
"The Holy Dragon is in a chaotic world, and it is too difficult for weak women like us. I beg you to be kind and not drive us away."
"Sir, our lives are pitiful. It's hard to get this opportunity. I am willing to serve you for life. I beg for your mercy."
"If you insist on driving us away, I'm afraid we will have no chance of survival."
The women knelt down one after another and kowtowed repeatedly, their eyes full of pleading.
"Oh, don't do this!"
Wang Yan had a headache watching this. "General Tan won't let you be homeless and unable to make a living."
"I will write to her and ask her to take good care of you."
Geng Ling raised her head, her face stained with tears as she spoke, "General Tan can provide for us temporarily, but he cannot guarantee our safety for the rest of our lives."
After hearing what Wang Yan said, the girls were still unwilling to leave.
"Now that we have chosen you, sir, we do not want to leave."
"Sir, you are kind-hearted. We are willing to follow you..."
"We have made up our minds and beg you to take us in."
…
The women kowtowed again, insisting on staying with Wang Yan.
Wang Yan grinned.
How come a group of beautiful women are relying on me for this?
Could it be that he has become handsome again?
I have to look in the mirror later!
"Wushuang Chen Hu, send them back quickly."
Wang Yan said and walked away, "I'll go take a look outside."
It would be better to just leave this difficult task to Cheng Wushuang and Chen Hu. I really can't handle them.
Seeing Wang Yan leave like this, Cheng Wushuang said to Chen Hu in a daze: "What should we do?"
Chen Hu pointed at the beauties and said, "They are all your rivals in love. You need to work harder."
"Go to hell!"
…
Tan Junyan was discussing with several generals how to attack Tianshui City when a soldier walked in and reported, "Commander-in-Chief, the envoy from Tianshui City, Conway, requests an audience."
All the generals were surprised when they heard this.
We were just planning to attack them, why did they send people here?
Are they going to return the stolen gold and silver?
Tan Junyan said coldly: "Let him in."
After a while, Conway walked in and bowed to everyone, "Conway greets the generals."
"Hmph!" Wei Guang snorted disdainfully.
We were nearly shot to death by them. If we hadn't been wearing bulletproof vests, we would have all been killed.
No one else gave Conway a good look either.
Tan Junyan said calmly, "General Kang, just speak frankly!"
"yes."
Conway bowed slightly.
"My commander, Xue Bang, sent me here to negotiate a deal with General Tan."
Tan Junyan asked in surprise: "What deal?"
"We have intercepted a batch of gold, silver, and jewelry. My commander, Xue Bang, hopes to use that treasure to exchange for some water and food from you to alleviate our urgent needs."
Conway stated his purpose directly.
"You're dreaming." Wei Guang exploded.
"The gold, silver, and jewelry you stole were provided by the imperial court to the barbarian army for the sake of peace."
"That's right." Qu Zheng took over the conversation.
"Robbing the imperial court's gold, silver, and jewelry is tantamount to rebellion. Eunuch Yang has already returned to report the situation."
"Just wait to be besieged by various cities!"
"Do you know what we are doing? We are discussing how to send troops to attack your Tianshui City."
"Go back and tell Xue Bang to clean his neck and wait for us to chop it off."
In fact, there is no such thing as an imperial edict. They are all reasons figured out by everyone.
But Tianshui City's robbery of jewels is really equivalent to rebellion, and it is right to send troops to attack them.
In order to have a legitimate reason to act, Eunuch Yang has returned to the court to report the situation.
Given the young emperor's temper, he would definitely issue an order to eliminate Xue Bang.
Whoever can capture Tianshui City first will own it, so Tan Junyan wants to send troops as soon as possible.
Although Tianshui City is not as big as Pengshi City and its population is not comparable to that of Pengshi City, it is better to have it than not.
From a long-term perspective, if the imperial court really rebelled and Tianshui City was taken in advance, Tianshui City would be the first line of defense against the powerful forces.
"hehe."
Conway wasn't afraid at all; he chuckled. "You took Pengshi City and killed the Shi family father and son without authorization. Doesn't that count as rebellion?"
"Everyone knows what the emperor is like. The imperial court is a mere formality. It doesn't matter whether we rebel or not."
