Girl, there's something wrong with you

"so much?"

In Jingkou, Cheng Jinyang was also shocked when he saw the list of supplies sent by Li from Longxi.

In fact, the amount of materials delivered was almost three times the original purchase amount, and the excess was obviously given away for free.

Is it hush money? Although I generously stated that I would not be held accountable, after all, the Li family in Longxi was a family with the fifth surname and wanted to be ashamed, so they would use this as compensation for me?

Hahaha, this is really an unexpected surprise.

Of course, Cheng Jinyang would never admit that the plan he came up with on the spur of the moment was actually about making money by playing tricks.

After all, he was indeed caught by that Li Jingai. Shouldn't he be charged some mental damage compensation?

Also, I helped the Li family in Longxi discover a genius with super potential. If it weren't for me, Teacher Li would still be hunkering down somewhere and torturing himself!

Now that Teacher Li has gained family status, the Longxi Li family has a third-grade guarantee for the future, and Li Xuansheng has an adopted daughter, isn't this something that everyone is happy about? Without me, how could you get these benefits?

Hey, wait a minute, I originally thought that three times was a bit exaggerated anyway. But think about it...

Could it be the dowry prepared by Li Xuansheng for Li Qingwan?

It can't really be a dowry, right? !

After Cheng Jinyang thought about this, he found Li Qingwan who was escorting the supplies. He pretended to be confused and asked her why there were so many supplies this time and whether it was a mistake.

"It's a dowry." Li Qingwan said with a smile.

Cheng Jinyang:! ! !

"Haha, just kidding." Seeing that he was so frightened, Li Qingwan stuck out his tongue and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's the compensation your father gave you. After all, you were caught in jail. He hopes you won’t hold grudges against my two useless brothers and sisters.”

The front leg just recognized his adoptive father, and the back leg started calling his brother and sister? Cheng Jinyang was speechless and waved his hand:

"Ahem, it's okay, I don't mind. Besides, you know that too (we were the ones who plotted against them first)."

"Yes." Li Qingwan nodded, "One more thing. My father sent some potential tribesmen to Jingkou, hoping to join the Beifu Army."

"Join the Beifu Army?" Cheng Jinyang asked in surprise.

Joining the Beifu Army and joining the shogunate of his charismatic commander are completely different things.

The latter is an individual's surrender, such as Wang Changshi and Master Xie. Even if they are given instructions from the top of the family, they can only join Cheng Jinyang's camp on their own behalf and have nothing to do with the Wang family and the Xie family.

Li Xuansheng's decision to allow his tribe to join the Beifu Army was an investment by the Longxi Li family in the Beifu Army. The courage and motivation behind this decision should not be underestimated.

"Yeah." Li Qingwan nodded and said, "Like everyone else, I also told my father about my expectations for this war."

"Father thought my analysis made sense, so he sent some clan members over to prevent Jiankang from changing."

Cheng Jinyang looked at the personnel list. This time, the Longxi Li family sent 167 people. The levels were mainly eighth-grade and seventh-grade people, and the number was slightly less than that of the Hejian Xing family.

But there are already far more than the Chu family in Yangzhai. In a sense, Li Xuansheng's trust in this newly recognized daughter is much greater than Chu Jiye's trust in Chu Qingqing.

"Then let Wang Changshi settle these tribesmen first." Cheng Jinyang replied.

"My father also came with me." Li Qingwan said.

"Your clan leader is here?" Cheng Jinyang was startled at first, and then realized that he was talking about her biological father.

"Yeah." Li Qingwan rubbed his eyebrows in worry, "I'm still thinking about how to best explain to him if I don't go home at night."

This is indeed a problem. After all, Jingkou Town is not big, but it is not as big as Jiankang City. Although they are not far apart, but her daughter doesn't come home every night, her father-in-law will definitely become suspicious.

"How about this?" Cheng Jinyang pondered for a long time and then said hesitantly, "I will arrange a military position for my father-in-law, so that he will travel frequently and have no time to come home. Can't we hide it for the time being?"

"Father-in-law?" Li Qingwan frowned.

"Ah poof! Poof! It was a slip of the tongue, I'm sorry." Cheng Jinyang changed the subject in a panic, "You understand what I mean. Although it's a bit hard to explain to him, it's better than him always worrying about where you stay every night."

"That's the only way it can be." Li Qingwan nodded in agreement.

After Cheng Jinyang left knowingly, she stood up slowly, walked to the bathroom to get water and washed her face, and then stared at her face in the mirror in trance.

Cheng Jinyang left the port warehouse and returned to the Admiral's Mansion, where he met Xing Yunzhi at the door of the office.

"Jinyang." Xing Yunzhi said solemnly, "My dad just came from Jiankang City and said he wanted to see me. I won't stay here tonight."

"Oh, where does my father-in-law plan to live..." Cheng Jinyang asked subconsciously, and then he realized that he was speaking quickly again.

"Let's find a hotel nearby first." Xing Yunzhi's face turned red, but she didn't protest. "Actually, one night is fine. The problem is that I want to keep him here. After all, Jiankang City is next... you know."

"Yeah." Cheng Jinyang thought, isn't this the same problem as Teacher Li? It's not easy to deal with the father-in-law and mother-in-law one by one. They have to come up with an effective and comprehensive strategy.

"Yuan Zhi, how far away are you from the fifth level of bloodline concentration?" he asked seriously.

"About 10,000 or 20,000 horses." Xing Yunzhi thought for a while and said, "It's just a matter of today or tomorrow."

"Let's all advance to the fifth rank as soon as possible." Cheng Jinyang said seriously, "Then we will announce this secret to our respective families in exchange for their trust and support in living together with us. After all, they will all rush to the gathering next It’s in Jingkou Town.”

"Tell them the truth?" Xing Yunzhi asked in shock, "Jinyang, the more people know, the faster this secret will be exposed..."

"Yes, that's why we have to wait until all members are at level 5." Cheng Jinyang said in a deep voice, "Level 5 is the threshold for qualitative change in supernatural powers, and it is also the basis for us to obtain independent political status. When eight level 5 superpowers join forces, we will become Taiwan The city cannot attack us easily. In addition, I will ask Yujing San tonight about how to quickly advance from the fifth level to the fourth level."

"Yeah." Xing Yunzhi couldn't think of any objections for the moment, but finally reminded him, "Jinyang, we'd better discuss it with Miss Wang. Although she doesn't speak very nicely, she is still willing to help in this regard."

"What about Wanrou?" Cheng Jinyang said worriedly, "I'm not afraid that she will object, but... what if she says that she can tell the truth, but only if she puts a stamp on your family?"

"Place the steel seal..." Xing Yunzhi was speechless for a moment.

"Forget it, let's upgrade to the fifth rank first." Cheng Jinyang waved his hand, "Don't worry, I won't make a decision easily before reaching a consensus."

"Well." Xing Yunzhi stood up, "Then I'll leave first."

"Okay." Cheng Jinyang said.

However, Xing Yunzhi did not leave immediately, but looked at Cheng Jinyang hesitantly. Her particularly large and bright eyes seemed to be suddenly covered with mist.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Jinyang asked in surprise.

"It's okay." Xing Yunzhi finally made up her mind and came over to hug him hard.

The strength of her hug was so tight that Cheng Jinyang felt as if he was going to be "hugged to death" by her.

However, Ah Zhi buried her head in his chest. At such a close distance, Cheng Jinyang could even see her eyelashes trembling slightly, and he forgot to struggle for a moment.

After all, with Ah Zhi's severe and abnormal mysophobia, it is easy to imagine how much determination and effort she put into being willing to have such close contact with him.

"That's it." Xing Yunzhi finally let go of him, her face as red as a ripe persimmon. She turned around in a hurry, not letting Cheng Jinyang see her face, and said with a serious expression:

"When I'm not here, you have to be careful when sleeping! Don't let other girls take advantage of you, you know?"

"……oh."

"Is that your tone of reluctance?"

"No." Cheng Jinyang laughed softly, "I'm just a little surprised..."

"...I can see you being so frank."
