Chapter 78 Betrothal! Make an alliance based on blood! (Please subscribe)

Liszt was surprised and said: "You have no children."

"I am still innocent. How can I have a child? Even if I have a child, his surname is not Zheng."

"Innocent body" Liszt looked strange.

Zheng Dongliang's eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he said, "I haven't passed the door yet."

Liszt was slightly stunned.

What should a woman do if she wants to get married but doesn’t want to get married?

How does a widow counterattack and become the head of a family with tens of thousands of people under his command?

The Land of Flowers is not the Amazon lily of Daughters Island. Patriarchal values ​​are deeply rooted here.

It must be a road intertwined with conspiracy and blood. She is the flower of the other side that blooms from the bones. She is as dangerous as she is beautiful.

Do you want to be married to such a woman?

Liszt suddenly laughed and said: "If I dare not tolerate even one woman, then how can I talk about looking at the world? I am no different from the old stubbornness of the Zheng family."

"Well then, I will call you brother."

"elder sister"

The blood-based sworn bond is naturally not just a simple name, it also requires a ceremony.

News spread quickly.

In the Zheng family ancestral hall, elders from all clans gather together, the leader of whom is holding a cane.

"It's nonsense, it's nonsense. Patriarch, this woman is getting more and more outrageous. She has repeatedly rejected our proposals, and now she wants to marry an outsider, a young man with unknown origins. This makes the world think of our Zheng family." The old man with a goatee in brocade scolded angrily.

"Yes, there are rumors outside now that the Zheng family's pillar has fallen in love with a pretty boy, and he might give birth to a bastard one day."

"You're immoral. You shouldn't have supported her back then. Patriarch, I think Ayu has grown up. It's time for her to abdicate. If we really make a bastard out of her, then if we fight, we will both lose."

"Yes, I heard that the swordsman named Li is dead and she has no one in her hands. This is our opportunity."

"Patriarch, make up your mind, you don't know, that woman keeps cutting our tribute, and also makes our children start from the lowest level of the crew. The third child, because he drank some wine and missed something, She was whipped in front of the crew and became the laughing stock of Gaoshan Island, which is simply a shame. Without my own family, the navy would not have the surname Zheng."

At the clan meeting, all the people surnamed Zheng were filled with indignation. This was not the first time.

The cliff pavilion stands next to the sea. You can watch the sunset and sunrise in the distance, the golden light shines on the sea, and you can watch the waves crashing on the shore and rolling up thousands of piles of snow.

"Over the past few hundred years, the children of the Zheng family, who were once a powerful figure on the east coast, have long turned into pot-bellied worms, lying on the navy to suck blood. More than % of the revenue from the navy's operations is used to support the Zheng family's expenses. They have various privileges. They run rampant and kill ordinary people, just like those Celestial Dragons."

"Do you know that when I took over the Zheng family, the navy soldiers were like scattered sand. The children of the Zheng family, regardless of their ability, could get high positions. The truly capable people had to accept the command of mediocrity. How ridiculous?"

On the red clay stove, hot water was boiling. Zheng Dongliang picked up the pot. With an elegant and calm posture, he brewed three cups of tea and served them to Liszt and Robin respectively.

"please"

Robin picked up the plain tea cup and smelled the tea aroma. She couldn't help but think about why she was sitting here.

Liszt and Zheng Dongliang talked about some private topics, which were usually not allowed to be heard by outsiders, so he invited her to do so.

With her intelligence, she naturally figured out what Liszt meant.

But, it's embarrassing

"My sister's reforms touch the interests of the vested parties, and they will definitely fight back."

"There is still trouble in Citong Port. Li Yi is my retainer and was involved in the assassination of the admiral. I am worried that the royal family will take the opportunity to collude with the clan and force me to abdicate."

"Strike first is the best," Liszt said.

Zheng Dongliang held the tea cup in her hand, and looked at the distant sea with her wonderful eyes, where the merchant ships with unfurled sails were coming and going. She said: "No, if you want to secure the throne, force alone is not enough, you also need righteousness. I can only strike later. You, will It’s my ace in the hole”

Her eyes were burning with greater ambition, and she was looking further ahead.

The sea breeze blows on your face, the sun sets, and the sea surface sparkles.

Liszt and Robin walked side by side, each with his own thoughts and silence.

"What do you think of her?" Liszt suddenly asked.

"Um"

Robin raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "An elegant, generous, beautiful, almost perfect woman."

"Well, I'm talking about the inside."

Robin thought for a while and said: "Ambitionful, full of ambition, unscrupulous to achieve the goal, polite and virtuous corporal."

Liszt smiled and said, "She was much more arrogant than she is now when she left the port."

"Yeah"

Robin was surprised and said, "I heard she was the one taking care of you that night on the boat."

Liszt was startled and said: "Who said that?"

"Xiaoxuan."

Robin has excellent communication skills. She has become good friends with Xiaoxuan and has gained a lot of information.

"What did she say?" Liszt frowned.

"Xiaoxuan said that when she saw you asleep that night, she went to tell Mrs. Zheng. After that, Mrs. Zheng came to your room and stayed all night."

Liszt choked and said, "Ahem, I stayed here all night."

"Yeah." Robin smiled with his eyes narrowed.

Liszt was a little confused and coughed dryly: "Nothing should have happened."

Robin shrugged slightly and said with a smile: "Who knows?"

In the pavilion with flying gauze curtains, Zheng Dongliang is lying on his side, with graceful curves and attractive posture, while Xiaoxuan is packing the table and tea cups.

"Xiaoxuan, am I in a hurry?"

"Xiaoxuan doesn't understand. Xiaoxuan knows that Madam has her own agenda."

"Internal troubles and external troubles"

Zheng Dongliang rubbed his forehead lightly and said: "I originally planned to join forces with Chen Mirage, but the recklessness of Zhang Zhong and Li Yi made me very passive. Going to find Chen Mirage now is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth. In this way, I am looking for There is no better choice.”

On the day of marriage, an open space was arranged, an altar was set up at the front, and there were seats on both sides.

Guests came to the table one after another, including captains under their command, representatives of other naval forces, wealthy merchants and nobles, all of whom were full of guests.

"Brother, I heard that the person who was sworn to Zheng Dongliang defeated grandpa." In the front row seat, the representatives of the Cai family of the Babao Navy were Lao Cai, who was determined to be the next generation of Dongliang, and his brother Abu.

Like Qingjiao, Lao Cai has a burly body. His face looks old. Although he is only 21 years old, he feels like he is 40 years old, so everyone calls him Lao Cai. Over time, his original name has been forgotten.

Abu is much younger than Lao Cai. He is in his early 16s, has long hair that flies sideways, and has a skull-like tattoo on his left arm. He looks like a delinquent.

After being defeated by Liszt, Qingjiao gave his two grandsons a lesson when he returned home, handed over the family affairs to Lao Cai, and began to train young people.

"The honor of the family will be recovered by us." Lao Cai clenched his fists with high morale.
