Chapter 18: Envy and Jealousy
The seventh daughter of the mayor of Qianshan City turned out to be the girl who was 'kind' to persuade him not to waste time and tell the mayor's position when Li Tianzhao came to ask for merit documents before.
Li Tianzhao has seen her a few times, and she has always been responsible for errands such as serving tea and pouring water, how can she ...... It's the mayor's daughter?
"Heyβwhy are you in a daze? Am I so good-looking today?" Miss Seven seemed to not know what Li Tianzhao was thinking, her smile and tone were no different from the previous few meetings.
"I didn't expect the mayor's daughter to be in charge of logistics. Li Tianzhao didn't know if he was suspicious, at that time he suspected that the girl in front of him had been persuaded to quit by the city mayor, but she didn't behave like it at that time.
At this moment, it seems that he really complicated her?
"It's not her to blame. The city chief explained with a smile: "One of her sisters and one brother were all killed in battle, and her biological mother also contributed her life to King Wu soon after she was born." I love her very much, she wanted to go out to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, I was worried about her safety, so I kept her by my side. It's just that Xuantian Martial King belongs, and she has never eaten idle waste, and no one can be an exception, she always has something to do. β
When the city chief said this, he leaned forward emotionally, pressed Li Tianzhao's shoulder, and said as if pleading: "I know that she will go out sooner or later, and she will be married, so she can't help but be trapped by me." Li Tianzhao, from now on, she will be handed over to you, take care of her for me, if you have any difficulties, just tell me! β
"I will do my best!" Li Tianzhao felt that he didn't need to think about it, no matter what happened in the past, since the marriage turned out to be like this, for him and for Miss Seven, their relationship would be different from now on, and it was useless to dwell on the original details.
After eating, drinking, and talking for a while, the city chief said that he wanted the two of them to talk alone, but he was afraid that Li Tianzhao would not have time to rush back to Baishan Town.
When sending Li Tianzhao away, the city chief said again: "Although marriage is a big deal, our Xuantian Martial King's people are the most pragmatic. Ten days later, you will come, and you will go to the marriage hall together, and take the oath as everyone else. Originally, she was supposed to go back to Baishan Town with you today, but considering that the town would be revoked in a few days, she wouldn't be allowed to cause trouble for you. β
"I can help, how can I make a mess?" Miss Seven was very dissatisfied with being described like this, but the mayor just smiled and ignored her coquettish protest.
"Baishan Town is finally going to be revoked?" Li Tianzhao was surprised, he hadn't heard the city mayor mention it last time, and suddenly this matter was passed?
"Yes, it should have been revoked a long time ago, go back this time, bring back all the documents and materials, and do a good job of the handover of the revocation. β
"I see. Li Tianzhao was very happy, the establishment of Baishan Town was still retained, and it was redundant.
Li Tianzhao said goodbye and left, and after a few steps, he heard Miss Seven calling him.
He turned around and asked, "Miss Seven, is there anything else?"
"I ask you, what's your wife's name?"
"I remembered, Shan Qianqi. β
"That's good! I have long remembered you, Li Tianzhao!" Shan Qianqi smiled and waved his hand, watching Li Tianzhao say goodbye and leave again.
Seeing that Li Tianzhao's figure disappeared at the end of the road outside the city gate, the mayor of Qianshan City asked her, "Dad chose it for you, how about it?"
"It's good, I originally liked him a lot, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, I went to kill the hundred generals of the Earth Martial King alone, and my friends in the Cultivation Hall have been talking about him recently!" β
"Those in the Self-cultivation Hall are friends, and they take care of each other in everything, but your husband must have real skills, dare to fight and kill, and only then can he have tangible merits! Serving the Xuantian Martial King and determining the future of life is the foundation of merit. How much can you share your friend's merits? Your husband's merits are shared with you!" The mayor of Qianshan City saw his daughter nod, but he didn't know if he really understood, and told her: "After you get married, you will welcome a new life." In the last few days, you have been relaxed, but don't do things that you shouldn't do! If you are not careful about the key issues, it will be difficult to gain enough trust from others. β
"Got it! Dadβyou've reminded me many times! I've been guarding it, I'm going to get married, and I'm not stupid, how can I give up all my work at this time?" Shan Qianqi agreed, and said, "Look at what he's wearing, I'll order a few sets of clothes for him." β
"You should prepare your own battle suit, and after the marriage, the time of easy fun is over. β
"Dad, did you want to shake off your hands?" Shan Qianqi was very unhappy when he heard this.
"It's been in vain for my hard work! Li Tianzhao will live a long life in the future, that is the best, in case he dies in battle in the future, with his courage to fight and the ability to kill the hundred generals of Nandou Town, he will definitely fill in a lot of merits for you. Without the help of such a husband, I can help you become a ten-war general, but it is almost impossible to help you become a hundred-war general. β
"I know my father has good intentions!" Shan Qianqi hugged his father's arm, coquettishly, and smiled brightly.
The mayor of Qianshan City knew that Li Tianzhao was almost like a blank sheet of paper, born in the village, limited by knowledge and environmental impact, and was most willing to risk his life for his merits.
The people who came from the cultivation hall in the city are different, most of them spare their lives, and pursue the merits of safe acquisition, and few of them can easily risk their lives.
Of course, it would be best if Li Tianzhao lived a long life, and if he unfortunately died in battle, he would always fight for a lot of merits.
Li Tianzhao is already a hundred generals, once married, the gap between Shan Qianqi's merits and his merits is too big, and the future merits will be counted on Shan Qianqi's head until the merits of the husband and wife are balanced.
Therefore, he decisively abolished Baishan Town, so that Li Tianzhao could get out of the predicament as soon as possible, and what he said above was that because of the weak strength of the previous Baizhan General, there were people from the side of the Earth Martial King who crossed the mountains and forests to attack and loot, so that the people of the Eighteen Villages were forced to move away.
After Li Tianzhao took over, in a fit of rage, he went over alone and killed more than 20 generals and soldiers in Nandou Town, killing and injuring more, so that the people on the side of the Earth Martial King did not dare to come again, but the villagers who had originally moved away had no longer returned, so Baishan Town was forced to revoke.
But the rhetoric of this report, the mayor of Qianshan City would not let Li Tianzhao know.
The information of Baishan Town was originally scarce, and on the day of the handover, the city mayor sent someone to help.
The warriors who helped were secretly envious, but they sighed that their lives were not good.
Li Tianzhao suddenly became Shan Qianqi's married husband, although the city mayor didn't say it, but as a confidant, of course he guessed that it was the result of the city mayor's selection.
The soldier thought about the many hard work of following the city chief for many years, and the difference in status between him and Li Tianzhao, and couldn't help but secretly sigh: "No amount of hard work can compare to the credit! β
After packing up, on the way back to the city, the soldier saw Li Tianzhao practicing footwork and sword moves in the narrow area on the carriage and goods, and asked very puzzledly: "Haven't the hundred battle generals practiced today?"
"Practice when you're free. Of course, Li Tianzhao knows that after his ability is small, he will have less time to practice every day, because it is difficult to make progress after many days of hard work, and he will practice once or twice a day to ensure that he is not unfamiliar and his combat effectiveness will not decline.
"The generals of the hundred battles have all entered the door of the city chief's house, why bother so hard?" The soldier felt that Li Tianzhao couldn't open it too much.
If he becomes a hundred generals, he will definitely have to spare his life more than now, let alone marry the daughter of the city chief, it will be even more impossible to take risks again, isn't it hard to live comfortably in the future?
"If you don't enter the palace of King Wu for a day, you can't relax for a day. "Li Tianzhao is different from that warrior, his goal is the Martial King Palace, and he can't stop here.
β...... The commander of a hundred battles is really ambitious!" the warrior complimented in his mouth, but in his heart he didn't think so. It's not that he hasn't seen a young man who loves to dream, and he likes to daydream as an ideal warrior.
In his opinion, Li Tianzhao is obviously in this stage.
But of course he won't say it.
It's just that, in fact, even if he says it, Li Tianzhao won't care.
Because, the Martial King Hall is Li Tianzhao's target.
In the marriage hall of Qianshan City, the marriage oath once a month was carried out in an orderly manner, and Li Tianzhao and Shan Qianqi were among more than 300 pairs of men and women.
They looked at the golden statue of the Xuantian Martial King, and read out in unison the oath of joining hands from now on, sparing no effort, and working together to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.
Among the men and women who were married, a young man, with a look of jealousy in his eyes, looked through the crowd and stared at the backs of Shan Qianqi and Li Tianzhao.
The young man's marriage partner found out, and sneered: "Don't look at it, it has nothing to do with you." The two of us are a good match, but she is something you can't climb. β
The young man was like an enraged lion, and suddenly glared at the woman angrily, and asked in a low voice, "My Shi Tianlong can't climb her mountain Qianqi?"
"The city chief has always been guarding against your Shi family, how can he marry his daughter to you! To tell you the truth, the marriage between you and me is really not the result of my begging family. The city chief knows that it is difficult for our two families to trust each other, and he is afraid that you will disturb the purity of the mountain and Qianqi, so he deliberately made us a pair, don't think that I am willing! From now on, you do your duty, and I will do my duty; if you make trouble, I will tear down the wall!"
"Hmph!" Shi Tianlong snorted coldly, and he didn't say good or bad.
It's just that he thought that he was very good with Shan Qianqi in the past, he was proud of himself as the first person in the Thousand Mountain City Cultivation Palace, thinking that he could marry the Shan family, many times he wanted to cook the raw rice first, but Shan Qianqi always refused.
Now, it's even cheaper for a guy from a mountain village?
The more Shi Tianlong thought about it, the more angry he became, and he felt that he had become a joke in the Cultivation Palace.
"Hmph, I want to see what this nineteen-year-old Baizhan will be!" Shi Tianlong was determined to save face, but also to humiliate Shan Qianqi.
His married wife sneered and said, "Okay! If you want to die, hurry up, I don't have to lose my innocence before the night of the candles, and I can remarry if you die." β
"What do you have to lose your innocence!" Shi Tianlong disdained, and the woman was about to sneer at each other, when he heard the head of the marriage hall finish speaking, and everyone dispersed in an orderly manner.
When he walked out of the marriage hall, Shi Tianlong shouted Shan Qianqi's name and caught up with them.
