Chapter 154: enemies on (narrow road
Translator: 549690339
At this moment, Xu Qianqian had used all her skills.
Even when she was facing Zhang Pu, she didnât put in so much effort.
However,
The demon Rakshasa, Chou Yao âer, was expressionless and cold.
âI, donât like women.â
Xu Qianqian was stunned.
Is that true?
Arenât there rumors that you like women?
You donât like women? Then, Yingluo, what should I do?
âBut Iâve heard about your story.â âI didnât expect you to still be alive,â Qiu Yao âer said.
Xu Qianqian immediately knelt down and walked forward. She hugged Chou Yao âerâs leg and said, â âGeneral, Iâm really at my witâs end. Thereâs no place in this world for me. Please save me.â
âI can take you in, and you can be with other pitiful women,â said mo Luosha.
She had saved countless women.
Every time he went to exterminate Pirates, he would save a large number of pitiful women.
Now, these women were all under her protection, either cooking, sewing, or cleaning.
Moreover, she had selected a large number of young girls to practice martial arts a few years ago. Now, a group of girls had grown up and become her personal female guards.
but, Yingluo, I want to stay by the generalâs side. Itâs the only way I can feel safe. Xu Qianqian said coyly.
Chou Yao âer was an extremely domineering person. She would crush anyone who was tough.
That was why she did not like Zhang Chunhuaâs air of superiority as a strategist at all.
However, when faced with Xu Qianqianâs pitiful and delicate appearance, she didnât try to suppress her.
âWhat can you do?â âDo you know how to do laundry and cook?â Chou Yao âer asked.
âI can learn,â Xu Qianqian said.
That meant he wouldnât.
âThen, do you know how to embroider and sew?â asked mo Luosha.
âI can learn it too,â Xu Qianqian said weakly.
That would not happen.
âThen, you should know how to serve tea and pour water, right?â mo Luosha frowned.
Xu Qianqian was so ashamed that her voice was almost inaudible.âI can learn it.â
So the bed-making, quilt-folding, laundry, and cooking you mentioned earlier were all fake? the only real thing was a self-recommendation pillow.
âThen what exactly do you know?â asked Chou Yao âer.
âIâll manage the accounts,â Xu Qianqian said.
I only care about killing and snatching, â Chou Yao âer said. I donât care about accounts.
Ah?
You have so many people under you, and the things you Rob each time are astronomical figures, but you donât have an account?
He really didnât!
Every time Chou Yao âer plundered something, she would give it to her father directly.
She had no interest in any property.
She was only interested in fighting, killing, and martial arts.
âThen I know how to compose poems,â Xu Qianqian said.
âIâm not interested,â
Xu Qianqianâs scalp went numb. She realized that she had become a useless person.
âIf you canât do this or that, why are you staying by my side?â âSend him to sweep the floor,â said devil Rakshasa Chou Yao âer.
Then, she waved her hand.
Two female warriors stepped forward and dragged Xu Qianqian out.
There was no room for resistance at all.
Chou Yao âer was completely unmoved and unmoved by any words.
Xu Qianqian was brought to a room, and she changed into a light cotton shirt.
Then, a broom was stuffed into her hands.
Just like that, she had mysteriously become a glorious sweeper in Qiu Yao âerâs Castle.
This was a huge difference from what he had imagined!
I-Iâm here to be a fox spirit, not a floor cleaner.
He looked up.
There were more than a dozen women sweeping the floor in the small yard that was less than 100 square meters.
Every one of them was graceful and beautiful.
At this moment, Xu Qianqian realized that Chou Yao âer was the most extravagant person in the world.
In her Castle, there were hundreds of beautiful women who swept the floor.
It was almost comparable to the monarch.
However, this mo Luosha was really difficult to serve.
It was too difficult to become her confidant and an indispensable person by her side.
Xu Qianqian was sweeping the floor.
But,
The floor was so clean that it seemed as if it had been licked. How could there be anything to sweep?
Xu Qianqian wanted to cry.
...........................
Raging tide city Lordâs mansion!
This was what a turtle shell was!
This castle was even sturdier than the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
The entire Castle had no sense of beauty. It was built entirely with solid black stones.
There were no pavilions, no carved railings, and no Jade buildings.
There were only high walls and towering watchtowers.
The walls of the castle were three to four meters thick and more than ten meters high.
The hole in the door was seven to eight meters deep.
This castle was definitely easy to defend and hard to attack.
As long as there were 1000 people defending, even 10000 people would not be able to break through.
Chou Tianwei had used eleven years to build this extremely strong Castle. He had used tens of thousands of manpower.
In order to build this Castle, countless slaves had died.
Thatâs right, slaves.
The Great Yan Dynasty had long since issued a decree that no vassal state was allowed to engage in slave trade.
But in raging tide city, you could buy anything.
One of the big trades was slaves.
Qiu Tianwei was also very tall, more than 1.9 meters.
He was extremely handsome!
He did not look like a pirate at all.
However, his handsomeness didnât attract women because his nose was too long.
Some people say that a nose is good, so my nose is good.
However, there was a limit to any length. It was not good beyond this degree. For example, if you let it hang to your knees, you might not be able to get a wife.
Qiu Tianweiâs nose, on the other hand, was even more curved than this.
This made his handsome face look very strange, making people feel afraid at first glance.
And his eyes!
It was especially long and narrow, and slightly upturned.
If it was a womanâs eyes, they would be especially beautiful.
However, it was very contradictory and abrupt for a man to have such eyes.
In short, this was an extremely handsome man, but anyone who saw him would feel fear in their hearts, and they would not dare to approach him.
This was the kind of person who was born with a strange sign.
He was currently receiving a guest, the Earl of Jinhai, Tang Lun.
Even though they had crossed paths many times, Tang Lun still instinctively resisted when facing Qiu Tianwei.
The face in front of her was really uncomfortable to look at.
âYou want to marry me?â youâre a noble, â Qiu Tianwei said. you want to marry a pirate? â
âYouâre not a pirate anymore, youâre the master of raging tide city, the master of the sea order. The third Prince and the Crown Prince are trying to win you over. As long as youâre willing, youâll be the future Marquis of raging tide.â
This was indeed the condition of the Crown Prince and the third Prince.
As long as Qiu Tianwei was willing to join them, they would confer him the title of Marquis of furious tide after he ascended the throne.
There were two types of titles in the countries.
One was from the old noble families that had been passed down for hundreds of years.
This kind of noble title was extremely rare, and basically, it could not be moved for a hundred years.
Another type of noble was the new type of noble. This kind of title was more exaggerated.
For example, if Zhang Ji really succeeded this time, he would also be conferred the title of Earl.
In the future, when he entered the ministerâs office and became the Prime Minister, his title of nobility would be promoted by half a grade. When he retired, the king would also confer him the title of Marquis.
Just like the former Minister of State, Lord suo Xuan, was a Marquis.
However, this kind of title was only an honorary reward. There was no fief, only a symbolic salary, and it was decreasing with each generation.
Thus, until now, although the old aristocrats like Earl Wu an, Earl Xuanwu, Earl Jin hai, and Earl Dong Jiang were only Earls, they looked down on the new aristocrats.
It was like the relationship between the shareholders and the workers in a company.
Even if you become a CEO, youâre still just an employee.
âYou want my son to marry your daughter?â Qiu Tianwei asked.
âNo, I want my son to marry your daughter,â Jin Haibo said.
âIf itâs your daughter whoâs going to marry my son, then I can still make the decision,â Qiu Tianwei said. But I canât decide my daughterâs marriage.â
Duke nuchao, you must be joking, â said Tang Lun, count of Jin hai. which womanâs marriage isnât decided by her parents? â
How shameless, now the Duke of the Furious tide was shouting.
âMy daughter is different from all the other women,â Chou Tianwei said.
âIâm willing to use 50% of the island as the betrothal gift,â said Tang Lun, Jin Hai Bo.
âBut your Gold Mountain Island has already lost to the Jin clan,â Qiu Tianwei said.
âThatâs only a contract on paper. If I donât hand over the island, what can Jin Zhuo do?â Tang Lun sneered.
âYou want me to help you pull chestnuts out of the fire,â Chou Tianwei said.
âDuke of raging tide, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity for you, isnât it?â You have many soldiers and generals, and you are invincible on the sea, but you canât touch the land.â
It was true.
The Yue State, Wu State and Qiu Tianwei had a tacit understanding.
I donât care if you, Qiu Tianwei, are the king of the ocean, but you must never touch the land.
Otherwise, even if we donât beat you up, weâll completely ban you.
If I donât do any business with you, your raging tide city will be blind.
Qiu Tianwei had always upheld this line.
Gold Mountain Island made people drool, and so did moon Cliff Island.
Qiu Tianweiâs fleet was sharp and had twenty to thirty thousand troops. They could easily take over the two islands.
However, he had always restrained himself and only asked for protection fees. He didnât dare to seize the island.
âNow, you can officially land on the island. Of course, the gold Mountain Island is still not land, but itâs already an extension of land. The king will definitely agree, because he would probably rather the island fall into your hands than the hands of the Jin family.â
Qiu Tianwei remained silent.
âYou took Gold Mountain Island today, so you can take hope Cliff Island tomorrow,â Earl Tang Lun said.
Qiu Tianwei remained silent.
Count Tang Lun said,âalthough raging tide city is good, itâs still an isolated land overseas. Land is our root.â Only by taking root on land can the Qiu family become a true noble family that will last for a hundred years, or even a thousand years.â
âHow many soldiers do I need to station on the island?â asked Chou Tianwei.
Finally, the Pirate Kingâs words moved. It seemed that he was already very tempted, and even determined to get it.
â5000, thatâs the only way we can defend against Earl Jin Zhuoâs Army,â count Tang Lun said in joy.
âWhat about the miners and miners who are absent?â Qiu Tianwei asked.
âIt will still be paid by my family. All the mining and production will also be handed over to my family.â Tang Lun said.
Tang Lun, the count of Jin hai, had a good plan.
The gold Mountain Island was still being mined. On the surface, they were willing to hand it over to the Jin family, but they were exclaiming to the outside world.
Oh no, the gold Mountain Island has been taken by the Pirate King Qiu Tianwei.
After that, the Qiu family and the Tang family would split the benefits of the Jinshan Island.
However, this was not in line with Governor Zhang Jiâs instructions.
Governor Zhang Ji wanted Tang Lun to hand over the entire Jinshan Island to the Jin family first. After the Jin family had invested a lot of manpower and resources in the island, he would let Qiu Tianwei send troops to take it. This way, the Jin family would shed a lot of blood.
But Tang Lun was reluctant.
If we keep fighting like this, how long will it take for the gold Mountain islandâs mining to be delayed? at least a year and a half! How big of a loss will it be for my Tang family?
Therefore, he negotiated with Qiu Tianwei before anyone else.
If Zhang Ji knew about this, he would probably scold him for being an idiot!
However, Tang Lun was not stupid. He was just greedy.
âI want 70%.â Chou Tianwei said directly.
Count Tang Lunâs expression changed,âDuke of raging tide, the miners and smelting craftsmen are all from my family.â Youâre just sending troops to guard the island and sit back and enjoy the benefits.â
âI want 70%!â Chou Tianwei said.
âDuke of raging tide, we canât work together like this,â count Tang Lun said.
Chou Tianwei said lightly, â it doesnât matter. In any case, you will soon hand over the gold Mountain Island to the Jin clan. At most, I will send troops to take it back in the future. This way, I can get everything. If I were to cooperate with you directly, I wouldnât have to fight this battle, so Iâm only giving you 30%. As for being absent from work, we have plenty of slaves in raging tide city. You have a lot of smelting craftsmen at home, Iâll just hire them when the time comes.â
Tang Lunâs heart was bleeding.
But now, he was like a fish on a chopping block, so what could he do?
âAlright, 70% it is. Letâs sign the contract.â Tang Lun said through gritted teeth.
âWhat contract?â Qiu Tianwei asked. Whatâs the use of that thing?â
Ugh!
It really was.
If one had the strength, a verbal promise was like gold.
If one did not have the strength, the contract they signed would be too hard to clean up.
âThen, what about the marriage between our two families?â Earl Tang Lun asked.
âIâll try!â Chou Tianwei said. Which son do you want to marry my daughter?â
âOf course itâs the Crown Prince, Tang Yun,â count Tang Lun replied.
âDoesnât he have an engagement?â Qiu Tianwei asked.
âYou donât have to,â Tang Lun replied.
the world has really fallen, â Qiu Tianwei said. even you old-school aristocrats donât follow the rules anymore.
In Tang Lunâs heart, Iâll f * ck you.
âMen, gather 5000 troops and prepare to climb the gold Mountain Island and build a fortress on it,â Chou Tianwei said.
Tang Lun was shocked. So fast? So Swift and decisive?
as for the marriage between our two families, I can only say that Iâll try my best, â Qiu Tianwei said. this daughter of mine is different from all the other women in the world.

The sword King, li qianqiu, had escorted Shen lang into Nujiang County and would arrive at Xuanwu city the next day.
Shen lang was used to living like a Prince and was not willing to eat and sleep in the open.
Thus, he decided to stay in the resting point of the Furious River.
I, Shen lang, the son-in-law of the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu, give me the best room. No one can live in this building.
Shen lang spoke arrogantly to the officials in the resting point.
Fortunately, the sword King Li qianqiu was there. Otherwise, Shen lang would not have been so arrogant and would not have dared to announce his name.
What if someone tries to kill me or harm me after hearing Shen Langâs name?
However, with the sword King around, it was simply too safe.
The sword Kingâs chicken-killing swordsmanship was really too awesome.
Li qianqiu replied,âthereâs no such sword technique at all.â
With Shen Langâs status, he did not have the right to stay in the resting point. He did not even have the right to stay in the best courtyard.
But the Deputy quickly agreed.
Donât think that Iâm just a ninth-rank official, but Iâm very clear about who I can and can not offend.
Therefore, Shen lang stayed in the best courtyard in the resting point of Nu River.
However, no one came to curry favor with him.
We canât offend you, Shen lang, but the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu is about to be destroyed. Furthermore, you are the mortal enemy of Governor Zhang Ji. Of course, we canât curry favor with you.
Damn it, there are people everywhere in the officialdom!
Shen lang stayed in a luxurious courtyard.
However, the sword King Li qianqiu was not willing to stay there. He said that he wanted to sleep in the carriage.
Shen lang asked,âwhy?â Isnât the suite in the resting point more comfortable?â
Sword King Li qianqiu said,âheâs too authoritative. Heâll feel guilty if he stays there, and he wonât be able to sleep ..â
Ugh!
Shen Langâs interest in practicing martial arts instantly faded.
It was still better to live off a woman. By relying on a big noble, one could live in glory and wealth, and use the power of a Tiger to intimidate others.
So what if he became a martial Grandmaster?
..................
shen lang lay on the big bed comfortably.
Even though the official courier station of Nujiang was only a courier station of a Prefecture, the most luxurious suite was still very impressive. It was not inferior to a five-star hotel.
The bed was the best, the blanket was the best, and even the stool was made of mahogany.
It was even more luxurious than the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.
After all, this house was specially reserved for the powerful officials who came and went. Even Governor Zhu Rong had stayed there before.
Luckily, there were no high ranking officials today. Otherwise, Shen lang would not have moved in.
With the sword King as his bodyguard, Shen lang slept very well.
......
However!
Shen lang had just fallen asleep for less than two hours when he was woken up.
Then, someone actually wanted to drive him out.
Thatâs right!
He wanted to be chased out.
What a great humiliation!
A group of well-dressed nobles entered the resting point.
There were two cards handed over: the Zhong family and the third Prince.
âWhat kind of random person is staying in the resting point? What does Zhang Ye do for a living?â
âWhoâs staying in the best courtyard?â
Shen lang heard a womanâs voice.
That arrogant and domineering person was simply unprecedented.
âWhat? Shen lang, a mere live-in son-in-law, would dare to stay in the best suite in the resting point?â
âI, Xue Li, donât even put the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu in my eyes, much less a little son-in-law. Youâre just a nobody, a lowly peasant from the countryside. You really think youâre the master after becoming the Jin familyâs live-in son-in-law, you dog!â
Thatâs right, this woman was Xue Li, who had just gone to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu to end the engagement.
Even though she entered the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu alone, there were hundreds of riders protecting her. The lineup was much more luxurious than Shen Langâs.
Then, Xue Liâs voice came from outside.
âMen, go in and chase Shen lang out. No, go and throw him out.â
Truly, enemies meet on a narrow road!
Shen lang sneered.
If I donât teach you a lesson youâll never forget today, Iâm your grandson.
