Kuaiwen: Have any grievances? Crazy Patriarch will help you counterattack

Lianyi naturally understood what Duan Zongqing meant, so he said with a smile:

"Don't worry, father. With my daughter's skills, she can protect herself as long as she doesn't encounter a large army."

"That's good."

After Duan Zongqing nodded in agreement, he got to the point:

"I came to you today to discuss the marriage with the Zhang family. Dashuai Zhang has been making subtle insinuations several times, but I have fooled him all the time. But this time he brought it up directly. I can't prevaricate him any more, so I just said... The decision can only be made after asking for your opinion, which temporarily delays the other party.

Daughter, what do you think of Zhang Xuetao? I see that he has been very attentive to you in the past two years, and I have never seen you refuse anyone outright. "

Duan Dashuai said.

"Father, I didn't reject him clearly because of you. You have been busy unifying the south. If you don't give the other side a little hope, if the Zhang family plays dirty tricks behind your back, our Duan family army will be caught between two sides.

Although the Zhang family may not be able to succeed with his father's ability, it is inevitable that he will be injured. When the time comes, he will not be able to suppress the small forces in the south, and the rear area will be unstable. How will you expand your power? "

Lianyi turned the mutton-fat jade bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile.

"It's my daughter who knows the basics."

After Duan Zongqing lamented that his daughter was a caring little cotton-padded jacket, he said directly:

"Although the Zhang family is powerful, my Duan family is not a soft persimmon. You don't have to force yourself to marry a man you don't like because of these things. I will find an opportunity to reject the Zhang family's marriage proposal."

"No, father, you have to promise him, and you have to hold a grand engagement ceremony for the two of us, so that all the forces know about it."

Ripple said with a smile.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Duan Zongqing didn't understand what his daughter was doing.

"Father, don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly."

Lianyi immediately comforted him.

"You say it and I listen."

"In the past two years, Zhang Xuetao said he was studying in the south, but in fact he was always following me, leading people to infiltrate the forces in our south. My father knows better than I do what the purpose is.

I think you are turning a blind eye because you don't want to directly confront Marshal Zhang from the South for the time being. Besides, the South is not a monolith. You need time to integrate, whether it is fighting a war or winning people's hearts.

Therefore, this marriage must be arranged, and after the engagement, you can use the power of the Zhang family to win over the most difficult aristocratic families in the south, and you will have money and food. Then you can also learn from Zhang Xuetao , sent people to slowly infiltrate the forces in the north.

In order to avoid the Zhang family asking for marriage immediately after the engagement, you can send me to study in country Y. There is a bridal school established by the royal family of country Y, where I can learn how to be a bride.

When I come back after completing my studies in four years, if Zhang Xuetao is still clean around me, then we will hold a wedding. If he goes behind my back and messes around, as long as you seize the handle, you can directly terminate the engagement and still stand on the high moral ground.

Of course, after we break up, we will have to confront the Zhang family head-on, and father must be prepared. "

Ripple spoke his thoughts lightly.

Duan Zongqing didn't know what expression to put on after hearing this. The staff around him didn't dare to use his daughter's marriage as a bargaining chip, but his own daughter had set up such a big scheme.

"My dear daughter, tell me, how long have you been thinking about this?"

"It's been two years. Ever since Zhang Xuetao surrounded me like a fly, I want to swat him to death all the time, but for the sake of my father, I can only endure it."

Lianyi spread his hands and said.

"Hey! I have wronged my precious daughter."

After Duan Zongqing finished sighing, he straightened his face and asked seriously:

"Since you choose to do this, you are preparing to take over the power in my hands in the future."

"Yes! And I want to be the strongest one!"

Ripple answered firmly.

"Okay! Be ambitious!

However, ambition alone is not enough. You must know how to march and fight, and learn strategies and tactics. You have been away for four years now. If I don’t take you with me, how can I teach you? How will the power be safely handed over to you then? The group of people under me will not obey you just because you are my daughter! "

Duan Zongqing has already begun to consider the issue of power transfer.

"Father, you don't really think that I went to country Y just to study in bridal school, do you?

Country Y also has a military academy, which will teach me how to fight. Moreover, Country Y has advanced weapons. I also want to get some to arm our own team. "

Ripple's eyes rolled and he said with a smile.

"You girl, it seems that you have already planned everything. I have no reason to refuse at all."

Duan Zongqing felt happy and his tone was very doting.

"But father, I have to pry into your corner and prepare a personal guard for me. These people should be young and potential, loyal to the Duan family, and preferably deputies with a certain prestige in the Duan family army. Come and study with me. The most advanced combat methods can be put into effect in the army immediately after returning.

In addition, I want to take the third and fourth aunts with me to country Y, let them take care of my life, and then see if I can run some business in country Y. The third aunt's family is in business, and she has also studied. The appearance of the fourth aunt It's an advantage to go out, so they can also help their father. "

Ripple told everything about his plans.

"You have thought very carefully. These people who study abroad with you are equivalent to your direct descendants. They will be easy to use in the future. You also have enough time to conquer them. It is not difficult to do it just by spending more money.

As for Qiu Chan and Dong Qing, as long as they are willing, I will definitely not object. When Qiu Chan entered the Marshal's Mansion, she brought all the property of the Qiu family with her. Over the years when I fought in the war, she gave me half of it, but In the past two years, I have paid it back one after another. No matter how bad I, Duan Zongqing, am, I will not covet my aunt's dowry. "

"Okay, as long as dad doesn't dislike me for taking your beauty, I'll go talk to the two aunts."

"It's up to you! Then I'll reply to Zhang Xuetao tomorrow. You still have one night to regret it."

"I don't regret it! Father can just answer it."

After Ripple finished speaking, he went to discuss the matter with his two aunts.

The next day, after Zhang Xuetao received Duan Zongqing's clear answer, he was ecstatic and immediately stood up and said:

"Thank you, Marshal Duan, for agreeing to my marriage to Lianyi. I will definitely cherish Lianyi and make her happy throughout her life."

"I also hope that my daughter will find a good home so that she can be worthy of her miserable mother!

It's just that this child, Lianyi, is young and doesn't seem to be enlightened, but she still likes you, so she agreed to the marriage. However, I want to keep her for a few more years and plan to get you two engaged first. What do you think? "

Duan Zongqing said kindly.

"Of course it's no problem! I listen to my uncle."

Zhang Xuetao said immediately.

For a powerful force like them, getting engaged is tantamount to announcing it to the world, and they cannot go back on it.

Soon after, Marshal Zhang received the news that the marriage had been agreed, and he quickly led his people straight to the south.

See you tomorrow, babies~
