Li Huan was surprised.
Unexpectedly, Lu Junyi actually married another wife.
As is widely known, Lu Junyi's wife, Jia, had a secret affair with the steward, Li Gu, and conspired to frame Lu Junyi.
As a result, Song Jiang led his men to cleverly capture Daming Prefecture, rescued Lu Junyi in time, and captured Jia Shi and handed her over to Lu Junyi, who then executed her by slow slicing.
Lu Junyi laughed and said, "I'm usually very busy with work, so I can't do without a woman by my side to take care of me."
Damn, that sounds so high-sounding.
He clearly can't stand being alone.
Li Huan deliberately said, "Master Lu has been betrayed by a woman before, so you'd better be careful when you marry this time!"
Of course, we must be careful, otherwise Lu Junyi will be wearing a green hat again.
"Prodigal Son" Yan Qing hurriedly said, "The wife you are marrying this time is a well-bred woman carefully selected by the matchmaker at the request of Madam Sun. She is educated, reasonable, and beautiful."
Li Huan asked, "Has the wedding been held yet?"
Sun Erniang said, "On the sixth day of next month, Master Lu and his fifteenth brother will hold their wedding ceremony together!"
Li was happy.
Holy crap, they're holding a mass wedding!
"A joint wedding ceremony?" Li Huan asked. "Whose idea was this?"
Gongsun Sheng replied, "Brother, this is my idea. On the sixth day of next month, all sixteen brothers will get married together for a lively occasion."
Li Huan nodded: "Very good, very good! This saves us from holding sixteen weddings and avoids extravagance."
Lu Junyi's brows were furrowed.
Li Huan could tell that Lu Junyi really wanted to hold a private wedding, and had argued with Gongsun Sheng about it.
After all, Lu Junyi was once the richest man in Hebei and always valued pomp and circumstance, especially when it came to weddings.
Li Huan asked knowingly, "Master Lu, you are a man of high moral character and prestige. Would you be willing to get married and hold a wedding ceremony with your brothers?"
Lu Junyi quickly clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "Just as you said, elder brother, this matter can avoid extravagance and waste. How could I not agree?"
Li Huan said, "I'm sorry to have wronged Master Lu."
Lu Junyi said, "It's not unfair, we treat everyone equally! However, my fiancée is frail and I'm afraid she can't join the women's army!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "As long as your hands and feet aren't crippled, you must join the Women's Army! After long-term training, you'll definitely be strong and healthy, no longer weak in martial arts!"
Lu Junyi looked helpless: "I'll do whatever you say, brother."
Li Huan then asked, "I'm very curious, which family's daughter would be willing to go to Liangshan and marry a bandit in the eyes of the imperial court?"
Sun Erniang hurriedly said, "That woman has long admired Master Lu's reputation and is willing to follow him."
In an instant, Lu Junyi straightened his chest, struck a heroic pose, and glanced at Da Qiao.
Li Huan surveyed the crowd with piercing eyes and spoke in a loud voice.
"Our Liangshan Marsh does not tolerate idlers! Everyone, regardless of age or gender, must learn martial arts!"
"Brothers, if you're not satisfied, say it to my face today, so we can avoid unpleasantness later!"
Gongsun Sheng clasped his hands and said, "Brother is wise! Only by making every bush and tree an enemy soldier can Liangshan make the imperial court tremble with fear and dare not invade!"
Lu Junyi said, "Isn't it a bit unreasonable to force older family members to learn martial arts as well?"
Li Huan said, "Those under seventy years old are exempt from weapon training, but they must learn to ride horses; otherwise, they will never have a chance to escape in the future!"
Lu Junyi said, "I believe that by purchasing fertile land and houses in other places, we can send the elderly there to live out their days in peace and comfort."
Li Huan understood that Lu Junyi was hatching another scheme, trying to move his elderly relative from Liangshan to live in seclusion elsewhere.
Li Huan said, "Master Lu, let's not discuss this matter today. Write your ideas into the plan and let me review it!"
Lu Junyi nodded in agreement.
Li Huan said, “From today onwards, the Women’s Army will move back from the back mountain and live separately in the large mansion. If there aren’t enough rooms, build more immediately!”
"Brothers, this army of women will be your future wives!"
Wang Ying said happily, "Don't worry, brother, I'll take care of building the house!"
Gongsun Sheng said, "Short-legged Tiger, you're just meddling again. There's no need for you to get involved in civil engineering matters; Brother Tao Zongwang will handle that!"
Instantly, Li Huan looked at Tao Zongwang, the "Nine-Tailed Turtle".
This person was in charge of the infrastructure work of Liangshan Marsh. He was skilled in design and construction and was an indispensable talent for Liangshan.
Moreover, Tao Zongwang's weapon was also very distinctive; it was an iron shovel.
Li Huan asked, "Tao Zongwang, where in Liangshan can we build a camp for the women's army to live?"
Tao Zongwang was about forty years old, with dark skin and an honest appearance.
He clasped his hands and said, "Brother, Hu Sanniang and I discussed building a military camp on the right side of Juyi Hall, near the cliff!"
"The terrain there is high enough to accommodate three hundred people, and the feng shui is also good!"
Li Huan asked Hu Sanniang, "Madam, is this really true?"
Hu Sanniang laughed and said, "Exactly! I've already thought of a name for the military camp: Niangzi Village!"
Niangzi Village?
Li Huan frowned slightly.
"This name doesn't sound good. Niangzizhai (娘子寨) sounds like the word 'debt' in the context of collecting debts!"
Hu Sanniang froze, then muttered, "A debt from a wife... a wife demanding a debt, that doesn't sound good..."
Gongsun Sheng hurriedly said, "Brother, in my opinion, the name should be—Women's Camp!"
Li Huan hummed in agreement: "Not bad, not bad, easy to understand. The character '营' in '娘子营' (Niangziying) is a homophone for '赢' (ying) in '输赢' (shuoying), which is quite auspicious!"
Hu Sanniang smiled and said, "Niangziying sounds much better than Niangzizhai!"
Li Huan asked, "Tao Zongwang, can the Women's Camp be built within a month?"
Tao Zongwang said, "Brother, it won't take a month; it can be completed in ten days."
"Ten days?" Li Huan's face darkened. "I told you to build houses to live in, not to set up tents!"
Tao Zongwang said, "Brother, ever since Hu Sanniang discussed the construction with me, I have been preparing. We have a lot of people in Liangshan, and I guarantee that the construction of the Women's Camp will be completed within ten days!"
Li Huan smiled and said, "That's right, you've planned ahead, you deserve a reward!"
Tao Zongwang said, "I don't want any reward for contributing to Liangshan. I'll be content as long as I get to eat more of the boxed lunches you cook, brother!"
When the topic of boxed lunches came up, a chorus of rumbling stomachs filled the hall.
Wu Song laughed and said, "I was so busy arguing with Master Lu that I forgot to eat lunch."
Sun Erniang hurriedly said, "Let's go! Let's go to the West Mountain Hotel for a drink!"
Lu Zhishen said, "Anyone who goes to Sun Erniang's tavern for drinks is a fool!"
Sun Erniang laughed and scolded, "You good-for-nothing monk, looking down on my inn? Yesterday, you ate three catties of beef, ate two chickens, and drank ten catties of wine in the inn!"
Lu Zhishen chuckled a few times: "Don't misunderstand me. What I mean is, Brother Li Huan has returned, and we have boxed lunches to eat. Who would still go to your hotel for drinks?"
Li Kui laughed loudly: "Hahaha... Brother Li Huan, what delicious boxed lunches are you having today? I'm so hungry!"
Li Huan said no more and led Hu Sanniang, Sun Erniang, and Gu Dasao out of the Juyi Hall.
"Wow!" Sun Erniang exclaimed, "Brother Li Huan has a new tricycle!"
Hu Sanniang said, "It should still be the same tricycle, but it's bigger!"
In front of the Hall of Gathering Righteousness stood one hundred female soldiers...
