Chapter 1223 Wan Lianxing denies Han Nianxia again
Just when Sha Guanghan was busy arranging military affairs, Yan Shizhao quietly led his donkey and was about to leave. Sha Guanghan was quick to grab his neck and said in a rough voice: "I, Old Sha, think you are not an ordinary person. Don't refuse my kindness. You can be my military advisor and I will not treat you unfairly."
"I won't do anything for you!" Yan Shizhao obviously didn't like Sha Guanghan's loud voice, and he struggled desperately.
However, Sha Guanghan held Yan Shizhao tightly in his hand, "Working for me is equivalent to working for the emperor. Your Majesty, I want this man."
Wan Lianxing waved his fan slowly and said, "Mr. Yan is a gentleman, don't be violent, don't be violent."
At this time, Cheng Feng, who was running from a distance, saw Yan Shizhao being dragged by Sha Guanghan while shouting. Sha Guanghan looked very reluctant. He asked Wan Lianxing, "Uncle, what are they doing?"
"Don't ask them first. Let me ask you. Didn't I tell you to stay in another camp? Why are you here again?"
"I'll serve you."
"Why don't you show your filial piety at any other time? Why do you have to show your filial piety when there is a plague? If you get infected with the plague, how will I explain to my brother and sister-in-law?"
"My body is so strong that even the plague will avoid me."
"You've been out for two years, and I haven't seen any improvement from you. Instead, you keep talking big. How strong am I, how strong is Sha Guanghan, and that Suiying? Aren't they all in trouble?"
Cheng Feng looked at Wan Lianxing and said, "Uncle, you are indeed much thinner than before I left on this journey. Are you overworked?"
Wan Lianxing said: "In the past two years, the emperor of Dalang State forced us to rebel step by step. At the beginning of the rebellion, I was very calm. I was fearless and could do it freely. But later, I was given the title of Shuiyong King, and my life was like being in prison."
"So miserable?"
"What do you think? I, your uncle, get up earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog every day. A bunch of people and things revolve around me. When I was a little marquis in the past, I could still do whatever I wanted. I could just ignore anything I didn't want to do. But now it's not possible. Countless eyes are watching my every word and action. The people believe in me like a god, and the ministers regard me as a wise ruler. So I dare not do anything wrong. I have to think twice before making any decision. I can no longer do whatever I want."
Cheng Feng heard this and said, "Uncle, you are just tired. It seems that the throne is not so easy to sit on."
"Not only is it uncomfortable to sit on, but it also sticks out your butt! Look at the current situation. The Southern Yan Kingdom and the Great Lang Kingdom have joined forces to attack our Fengqi. Our Fengqi is just a small country. It is not easy for us to fight against these two countries until today."
"Uncle, you must have some drastic measures, otherwise you wouldn't be able to seize the initiative and win the victory in all your campaigns."
"My uncle doesn't have any thunderous means, but he is good at using people. In the south, Sui Ming and Sui Xin are very capable, and in the north, Sha Guanghan and his son are helping my uncle expand the territory. Without these people, it would be my father and me who would be on the battlefield at this time. Therefore, these people are the founding heroes we beg for!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng took out his fan and fanned Wan Lianxing while asking, "Uncle, meritorious officials must be rewarded according to their merits, right?"
"Of course, rewards are essential."
"Uncle, you said that we should reward some gold, silver and treasures. Our family has them all. But if a meritorious official is rewarded with a marriage, wouldn't that be a bit difficult for our family?" After saying that, Cheng Feng fanned Wan Lianxing with a fan, and Wan Lianxing's hair was blown up.
Wan Lianxing glanced at Cheng Feng with his eyes slanted. How could he not hear the hidden meaning of Cheng Feng's words? "Are you saying that it is inappropriate for my uncle to arrange a marriage for Sha Yueteng?"
"It's not inappropriate, but we have to do it within our means. We are a small family, and we moved here with our whole family. We don't know any good women, so where can we find a wife for Sha Yueteng? The main thing is that your requirements are a bit high. A lady from a noble family and a dignified appearance are easy to get, but it's a bit difficult to find a woman who is both civil and military!"
"Are you here to defend Shang Xi?"
"Feng'er dare not, but your niece-in-law doesn't know any girls! She deals with some craftsmen and painters all day long, all of them are men, not a single woman. If you ask her to be a matchmaker, she won't understand! Uncle, I think you should consider Han Nianxia again. If you agree, I will immediately ask someone to teach her martial arts every day, so that she can wield a spear and a stick when we get married."
Wan Lianxing said unhappily: "Why don't you marry your niece He Ye to Sha Yueteng? She might be better than Han Nianxia."
"Uncle, how do you know about He Ye?" Cheng Feng was a little surprised. He asked Sui Ying and the others to keep it a secret, but it seemed that she had secretly informed his uncle.
"Don't think that I'm in the military camp. Whether you go out to sell goods or come home to be beaten with a stick by your wife, I know all the glorious or shameful things you have done. So, just let Shang Xi choose a wife for the Sha family and don't have any bad ideas. Han Nianxia and Sha Yueteng are not a match. Sha Guanghan only asked me for this matter. If I use Han Nianxia to get away with it, what will Sha Guanghan think of me, Wan Lianxing? The father and son are begging for us, you know! Your uncle reminds you that within one month, if Shang Xi can't hand over a decent person, I will deal with her." Wan Lianxing not only denied Han Nianxia again, but also gave a death order to Shang Xi who gave the order.
"Uncle, you are making things difficult for Shang Xi. Do you know how much Shang Xi has to do every day? During the day, she organizes rice porridge donations, and at night, she works hard to draw blueprints for you. She is so tired that she has lost weight."
Wan Lianxing rolled his eyes at Cheng Feng again, and then said angrily, "You really do love your wife. Cheng Feng, remember this, if I hear that your wife beat you with a stick and made you jump up and down and howl like a wolf, I will break your legs."
Cheng Feng wondered what he had done wrong to his leg, and why everyone wanted to break his legs at every turn.
He put away his fan, put it on his waist, supported Wan Lianxing and said, "Uncle, please stop talking about irrelevant things. It's embarrassing enough, and you still blame me."
Wan Lianxing raised his hand and poked Cheng Feng's head and said, "You have brought shame to our Wan family. How come someone like you who is afraid of his wife appeared?"
Cheng Feng chuckled. He didn't feel ashamed at all about being beaten by Shang Xi with a stick.
Afterwards, Wan Lianxing was forcibly supported by Cheng Feng to the big tent where Sha Guanghan and his men were meeting. All the capable people in the entire military camp gathered here.
