Chapter 47: Marriage Promised

"What, he told you he wanted to marry me?" Qinglan's face flushed, and she asked a little embarrassedly.

Fang Lihua comforted her and said, "Can this still be fake, when did my sister and I lie to you!" You can wait for Mr. Cheng to marry you with peace of mind, congratulations, sister! ”

Qinglan said with a little twist: "People don't know what kind of person he is, but since my sister said that he is a big hero, then it is not a loss for me to marry him." Sister, I have to tell my father about this, or he will be angry. ”

Fang Lihua also came to her senses and said, "Oh yes, you have to let the leader of Dun Leha know, but you can't say that he lifted your veil when you were fighting. You must tell your father that it is because you are in love with each other that you need to be united, understand? ”

She saw that Qinglan was still a little confused, so she said again: "Oh, my stupid sister, you think, if you tell the truth, the leader of Dun Leha must not be angry." Even if you agree to your marriage, you will not feel comfortable, and you may have to have extraneous branches in the future, don't you want your parents to bless your union? ”

Qinglan understood a little: "Okay sister, I understand." Then I'll just say that after coming here, Mr. Cheng and I both have a good impression of each other, so we want to get married, right? ”

"Silly sister, after you marry Chief Cheng, you will wait to enjoy the blessings, do you know, I heard that after this mercenary guard helped Duke Duozan win the war, how much did Duke Duozan promise them? Forty percent of the total income of Silver Tower City is as much as 60,000 gold victors a year! "Fang Lihua has a feeling of offering treasures.

Qinglan was not very interested in the number of gold coins, because their people were not very interested in these gold and silver except for those who often traded with outsiders, and they believed that horses, cattle and sheep were the most valuable treasures.

Fang Lihua further explained: "Let's put it this way, their annual income can buy 30,000 sturdy war horses, now you understand, right?" ”

"Thirty thousand, or war horses?" Qinglan widened her charming eyes: "Our entire tribe doesn't have so many war horses, sister, why did that Duke Duozan give them so much money?" ”

"That's because they were the most important part of that war, and without them, Duke Dozan wouldn't have been able to win that war. Without them, I'm afraid this Silver Tower City would have changed its owner long ago......" Fang Lihua said this, thinking of Lige's death again, and looked a little sad.

Qinglan said at this time: "Sister, even if he has money, but we don't have that kind of affection between us, what if I am not happy after marrying him?" ”

"Mr. Cheng is so tall and handsome, can you not like it? It's good that you slowly cultivate your relationship after getting married, he is a hero, and he will definitely love his woman, so you can rest assured. Think about it, is it better for you to marry Mr. Cheng, a big hero and a tycoon, or is it better to be known the truth and even your father can't hold his head up for the rest of his life? ”

After Fang Lihua's persuasion, Qinglan finally figured out everything, and she proposed to meet Cheng Lei and have a good talk with him. Fang Lihua warned her not to shout and kill after seeing others, Cheng Lei also made up his mind with great difficulty, don't let him waver anymore.

Qinglan said that since she was going to get married, of course she couldn't treat him like that, she had to treat her husband like she really did, the women on the grassland were so simple and kind.

In Cheng Lei's room, Cheng Lei smoked a cigarette and looked at Qinglan with her head down and her face red, Qinglan was still veiled when she was outside, after all, she was not married yet. But when she came to Cheng Lei's room, she put down the veil, which is also a trust in Cheng Lei, which made Cheng Lei feel warm in his heart.

"You are from the Kereh, are your people all outside the city now?" Cheng Lei saw that she was a little shy and didn't dare to speak, so he took the initiative to ask.

Qinglan's voice was like a mosquito, but it was still a volume that Cheng Lei could hear: "Our Jilie tribe is a very large nation, and there are our people in the east and west. Our tribe is called the Tieji tribe, and it is one of the largest tribes of the Eastern Kilie tribe, with a population of tens of thousands. Now outside the city is the vanguard of our Tieji tribe. ”

"Originally, we have been living in the southwestern grassland far away from Yinta City for the past few years, but this year, the weather there is dry, and the water and grass have withered, so we have to move our family here. I remember that we had been here a few years ago, and we had been given grazing permission by the Duke of Dozan, but it was too close to the desert and the water and grass were not very abundant. But now it's much better than on the southwestern steppes, so my father decided to stay here again. ”

Cheng Lei asked about the topic he was more interested in: "Your father is a tribal leader?" How many soldiers are there in your tribe? ”

After really talking, Cheng Lei found that Qinglan was a more talkative woman, and now she didn't blush: "The soldiers of our tribe are not called soldiers, but warriors, and they are all fighting on horseback, so they are also called knights." There are about seven or eight hundred knights in the tribe, and as long as there is a war, all the young men in the tribe will automatically become reserve knights and supplement the knights. ”

Cheng Lei somewhat understood, no wonder the old fox of Duke Duozan actually agreed so simply a few years ago to let the people of the Tieji tribe graze on the grassland he owned, it turned out that people spoke with strength. If Duke Dozan disagrees, then he has to start a war, with the more than 300 troops in Yinta City at that time, how can they compare with the 800 cavalry of the other people, and they can also have a steady stream of reserves to replenish them!

"Husband, I want to go back to the tribe, tell my father about our affairs, and then send someone to bring you a message. At that time, you can just go and propose, my father has two sons, and I am the only one who is a daughter, who usually dotes on me. I sneaked out this time, otherwise he wouldn't have let me out at all, who knew that when I got here, I would meet you and these things, but ...... But I'm still very happy......" Qinglan said more and more in her voice, and in the end, her face was as red as a rose, and sure enough, as Fang Lihua said, Cheng Lei was indeed very tall and handsome, no different from the hero image in her mind, she felt more and more that she was lucky to be able to meet such a good husband.

"Husband...... Husband? Cheng Lei was a little uncomfortable with this title for a while, but thinking that a girl from someone else's family was so generous, what could he not erase! Then he said casually: "Mrs. Little Beauty, when do you plan to go back?" ”

Qinglan scolded with a smile: "I hate it, it was you who teased me like this that made me angry, I'm not a beauty!" ”

Cheng Lei saw her pitiful appearance, and couldn't help but let go of his courage to walk in front of her, and hugged her in his arms: "Little beauty, this is not a curse, it's my affectionate name for you." Besides, you are a veritable little beauty......" After speaking, he involuntarily kissed Qinglan.

When Qinglan was hugged by him, she was already like countless deer scurrying in her heart, and she was kissed by him again, her brain was completely blank, and she didn't know what to do at all. After all, Cheng Lei is her future husband, and he can't beat or scold, so he has to paralyze in his arms and pretend to be dead.

After Cheng Lei made out with her, he let her go, let her sit on the chair, and lit a cigarette himself: "Qinglan, you are my first woman, I will cherish you and will not let you suffer a little grievance." Tell your father this, and even if he doesn't agree to marry you to me, I'll do my best to snatch you!" ”

The next day, Cheng Lei sent two team members to send Qinglan to the construction site of the base, and then Zheng Bin sent someone to send her back to the Tieji tribe. Zheng Bin didn't know the inside story, and thought that this was a guest that Duke Duozan asked Cheng Lei to help him send, but Cheng Lei didn't say it explicitly, thinking that Zheng Bin would be surprised when the time came.

Qi Mi's drawings over there are almost outlined, and in his words, if conditions allow, work can start now. However, the construction of the base now requires a lot of money and materials, although the cement plant is more important than the base in a strategic sense, but now they are most urgent to have their own real territory.

Cheng Lei promised to find that when the wall of the base was officially completed, the cement plant would start immediately! The houses on the base are still relying on their own cement factory to produce cement to build!

Qi Mi's originally disappointed face was filled with joy again, the walls of the base would be completed in less than a few months, and it was time for him to show his skills.

Cheng Lei roughly calculated the current cost, and found that it was really not a good family, and he didn't know that firewood and rice were expensive, and the money was like running water. The 30,000 gold victor has already spent some of it, but now the shadow of the base has not been seen anywhere!

He went to the Silver Tower again to find the Duke of Dozan, so that he could say that he had dug up 10,000 gold victors from the Duke of Dozan. This is still Duke Duozan made up in various places after paying the 30,000 gold victors, Duke Duozan's words, Cheng Lei felt that the two achievements were enough.

This old miser, if he didn't have 108,000 Jin Wei in his hand, Cheng Lei would be able to take his surname! After all, the counterinsurgency war has been won, and all the gentry and big families must pay tribute, even if they spent all the savings of Duke Duozan during the war, but Cheng Lei heard that Duke Duozan collected more than 100,000 gold coins in all aspects when he heard that Guangqing Gong would be celebrated.

If he could have 60,000 gold victors in his hands, Cheng Lei would not be so troubled, enough for the construction cost of the base and the cement plant. So now he can only pick from Duke Dozan little by little, and he can pick as much as he can.
