"Tch, aren't you men all like this? You have three wives and four concubines. If you have nothing to do, you can go to a brothel and talk about being cool and romantic.
We women are the unlucky ones. We have to wear a veil when we go out. When we return home, we must honor our parents-in-law, serve the men, and take care of the children. It is not only exhausting but also annoying to death!" Ma Linglong pouted her little face, full of resentment.
"Haha!" Li Wenhao put down his wine glass and laughed, holding Ma Linglong in his arms: "You are blessed to be my woman. First of all, you don't have to honor your parents-in-law. We live in our own place.
Second, I am a vulgar person and don’t like places with fireworks like brothels.
Thirdly, although I have a bad temper, I never bully women, especially my own women!"
"Let go..." Ma Linglong's face turned red with embarrassment. She was still struggling at first. After hearing Li Wenhao's words, she was stunned. Her big eyes were misty and moved: "You are lying. The rules of aristocratic families are that unless you have a title,
, the eldest wife must stay in the clan."
"What bullshit rules? Tuke City is our home. You live in the General's Mansion. Let me see who can do anything to me!"
Li Wenhao announced domineeringly and stood up with Linglong in his arms. His heroic spirit was so strong that it made Ma Linglong's little head feel dizzy.
When he entered the inner room and found himself skinned into a little white sheep, it was too late to resist.
Forget it, just follow him, and you won't have to hold back your problems and go out to mess with others.
"Why!"
Outside the hall, Ma Yidao hesitated again and again, but turned around and left. He happened to hear what Li Wenhao said to his sister, and was deeply touched in his heart.
He himself doesn't pay much attention to women. If Li Wenhao can treat his sister like this, what else can he say?
However, even if you get on the bus, you still have to pay for your ticket!
Ma Yidao came outside and saw Li Rong standing guard: "Let me know, the general will marry my sister tonight, and the whole army will reward her. No one will be given ten taels of gold!"
Li Rong opened his mouth in shock, intending to go in and ask, but unfortunately he stepped back after taking two steps. Ma Linglong screamed heartbreakingly, wasn't he looking for a beating when he went in now?
"Let's do it now, General Mo!"
Soon, the news of Li Wenhao's marriage that night became known throughout the city, and each person got twelve taels of gold.
The next day, Li Wenhao came out of the bedroom feeling shy and looked confused when he saw the happy words posted all over the yard.
"What, for giving me ten taels of gold per person, they can eat and drink for free when I marry a wife. Even if they don't show courtesy, they still have to ask for money from me!"
Thousands of people, that is, tens of thousands of taels of gold. After hearing this bad news, Li Wenhao felt very bad. In the end, it was changed to a hundred taels of silver per person, which is the price of a Qi and Blood Pill.
"His nana's are so expensive!"
When Ma Linglong came out to eat shyly, Li Wenhao's eyes didn't look like he was looking at his wife, he was just looking at the golden man, the one encrusted with diamonds.
At noon, the army set off back to Tuke City, leaving Ma Yidao's Zuoqi battalion and two thousand newly recruited infantry behind.
Wolf Seventeen led a thousand cavalry, a thousand infantry, and drove more than a hundred ox carts loaded with food supplies.
There were five hundred horses among them, all of them strong black wildebeests.
During this trip, a large number of mounts were first seized in Shibawan and some in Qingshui Town. In addition to wildebeest, most of the plains horses, inferior horses, mules and the like were secretly slaughtered.
More than 500 system wildebeests were destroyed, as well as a large amount of animal taming food, and the mounts were also collected as meat.
The five hundred iron pagoda heavy armored cavalry are ready. As long as they train for a while, they will be as powerful as a killer!
"General!" On the march, Li Rong approached him cautiously and said cautiously: "Ma Yidao has just surrendered, so is it inappropriate to give him such great rights?"
"I know your concerns, but you can rest assured that I have confidence in Ma Yidao!" Li Wenhao rode on the wildebeest and turned to look at Wolf Seventeen and others.
He knew that none of the generals understood his decision, and they all thought it was because of Linglong's nepotism that they entrusted Ma Yidao with the important task. Even Ma Yidao himself thought so.
Otherwise, he would not have refused again and again, until he got angry, and then reluctantly accepted the appointment.
In fact, he originally planned to let Wolf Seventeen stay in Qingshui Town and use Qingshui Town as a base to launch an attack around Daha City in Langya Kingdom.
But when he woke up in the morning, there was a green phantom of wind above Ma Yidao's head.
Now that he has become a member of the legion, Ma Yida is naturally more suitable. After all, Ma Yida is stronger. He is quasi-fourth level, and so is Wu Bai.
Moreover, his family comes from three generations of military generals, so his ability to lead troops in battle is naturally much better than that of Wolf Seventeen.
It's just that he couldn't explain it to everyone.
"Wen Hao, I peeled the fruit, come up and eat some!" Ma Linglong held Little Fatty in her arms and waved to him from Tank.
Well, at least Ma Linglong was very satisfied with her appointment. She was as gentle as a different person that day.
"Eat it yourself, what nonsense are you talking about, we are marching now!" Li Wenhao scolded him in a cool voice.
"Oh!" Ma Linglong shut up obediently, as if she were not so obedient normally.
"General is mighty!" Many soldiers secretly gave Li Wenhao a thumbs up.
Li Wenhao smiled shyly. Who said that Chinese men are afraid of their wives? It is definitely a rumor!
………………
At dusk that day, the army arrived outside Tuke City.
Bonfires filled the sky, and even though it was almost dark, there were still a large number of people reclaiming wasteland in the wilderness.
Cavalrymen armed with scimitars, in teams of a hundred, patrolled everywhere.
Even further away, you can vaguely see a lot of firelight and many shadows of people.
Li Wenhao opened the Shili Sandbox and saw a large number of refugees gathered in the southwest of Tuke City, numbering 20,000 to 30,000 people.
"What's going on? Why are there so many refugees not entering the city?"
Li Wenhao frowned and looked at the Ehu generals who had received the news and came to greet them.
"General!" Erhu said in a very anxious tone: "They are not refugees, they are rebels who escaped from Qingyang County. They suddenly appeared ten miles outside the city this afternoon, and their number is getting larger and larger.
Huixin took Su Lao to communicate with them, but they haven’t received a reply yet.”
"Rebels?"
Li Wenhao muttered in a low voice that Zhu Wen was right, Taiping Road was really preparing to gather in Tuke City.
There are already 20,000 to 30,000 people now, but tomorrow it may not be 70,000 to 80,000, or even 100,000.
These people were actually poor people who had no choice but to rebel.
Li Wenhao didn't want to fight these so-called rebels unless he had to. Wouldn't it be nice to gather hundreds of thousands of people to start farming and open up wasteland?
We are all citizens of the Great You Dynasty, so why bother killing each other?
"Send me an order to make some porridge and rice for the people to send to them, and tell them that as long as they are willing to settle in Tuke City, I will give them land and seeds.
