Chapter 371 In-Laws

Wilderness courtyard.

When the information from far west reached Zhao Di, a heavy rain was about to fall.

Zhao Shuang and others have been living in the small courtyard for a long time. It is from spring to summer that the weather becomes a bit muggy.

Zhao Shuang was lying on the corridor, watching the dark clouds gathering in the sky, and murmuring slightly.

"Mokdu?"

The Moon God on the side looked a little ugly, while Concubine Yan was completely gloating about her misfortune.

At the beginning, Moon God promised that he could solve the problem in Longxi and seize those cities, but now, the development of things has deviated from expectations.

"They attacked the Qiang tribe at night, kidnapped the women, and killed all the strong men. They were really ruthless."

"Will trade at the border be affected by this?"

Concubine Yan asked.

"Not for the time being. After all, after this battle, Mokdu's military strength has been seriously damaged. In addition, the nearby tribes have no longer trusted him. In the short term, he should be unable to make a difference."

Life here is quite ordinary, just cutting firewood and fetching water every day, and then going hunting in the mountains every few days to get some wild animals such as roe deer.

Seeing that it was going to rain soon, Li Ji was preparing to pack the dry clothes.

Zhao Shuang gives a shout-out. Over the past few days, Zhao Shuang has taught Li Ji important things that she should know as the leader of the Mohist family, and by now, it's almost done.

Looking at Li Ji at this time, although she was wearing a sarong, she could not hide her beauty. Zhao Shuang was looking deep in thought when someone interrupted him.

"What catches your eyes!"

Concubine Yan waved her hand, a little annoyed.

"When are you going to leave here?"

Zhao Shuang turned his head, looked at Concubine Yan, and asked.

"Why do you ask?"

"I heard that the alliance between Yan and Qin is not going well. How long will you stay here?"

Zhao Shuang smiled. Although Concubine Yan and Moon God were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked like peasant women, after all, they were not ordinary women. Although they are here, the news from the outside world cannot be hidden from them.

"Wait a little longer!"

However, Zhao Shuang didn't look anxious at all. He had a lazy aura about him and was about to take a nap. Concubine Yan and Moon God didn't care, but enjoyed this time.

"Hey, we don't have much money. You think of a way. This whole family depends on you!"

Luna touched Zhao Shuang and said.

"Where can I get money for you at this time? Don't make trouble."

Zhao Shuang's eyes were closed not long ago, but they were opened again.

"Sir, there is a shelter from the rain ahead."

A loud shout, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves, came over in this afternoon when the rain was gradually falling.

The faces of the three women in the courtyard changed. Immediately afterwards, those people kicked open the courtyard door and broke in, regardless of whether there was anyone in the courtyard.

Dozens of Zhao soldiers gathered around a man in rich clothes and entered the courtyard.

Seeing someone in the yard, the noble man's servant spoke.

"This is my son, the Duke of Zhao, who is here to take shelter from the rain temporarily. Why don't you say goodbye?"

For a moment, Li Ji glanced at Zhao Shuang and saw that he was still lying in the corridor, while Yueshen and Yan Fei paid no attention at all, and none of the four of them moved.

"Are you deaf?"

Young Master Qian was originally arrogant, but when he glanced at the three women in the courtyard, his expression changed and he pushed the servant away.

"Don't be so rude!"

Young Master Qian waved his hand, his arrogant look changed and he became very friendly to the people.

"These are my fellow citizens of Great Zhao. I am already making trouble when I come here. How can I be so disrespectful?"

Young master moving?

Zhao Shuang looked at his leering look and suddenly had an idea.

"Oh, it turns out to be the young master!"

Zhao Shuang jumped up, startling Luna and Concubine Yan.

Just as Concubine Yan and others looked shocked, they saw Zhao Shuang walking over and bowed.

"The grassroots and three sisters hid in this wilderness to avoid the war, but they didn't expect to meet a noble person today."

"Are they your sisters?"

When Young Master Qian heard this, he became even more enthusiastic. However, whether it was Concubine Yan, Moon God, or Li Ji, their expressions changed and they were very angry.

Young Master Qian was a little surprised when he saw this. What was going on with all the expressions?

"What happened to these three beauties?"

"You're a rough woman from the mountains, you don't know etiquette. What are you doing here in a daze? Why don't you heat some hot water for the young master?"

"It doesn't matter. Just let my soldiers do the rough work. Don't bother the beautiful lady."

"It's okay, these girls are used to it. Sir, please!"

Young Master Qian's reluctant eyes lingered on the three women, and even when he walked into the house, his heart was not on Zhao Shuang.

Every once in a while, I have to look outside the house to see what's going on.

"I wonder if your three sisters are betrothed?"

Let me go. Is it so direct?

Zhao Shuang thought to himself that he should not ask again after a few days, how could he ask right after they met. But Zhao Shuang sighed softly, with a sad face.

"The world is so difficult. Several of my sisters have not found husbands. I am also worried. Seeing that they are getting older day by day, they are still unable to get married, and they have become old maids."

At this moment, Li Ji walked in. She, who originally had the most docile personality, listened to Zhao Shuang's words, slammed the wooden plate in her hand on the table, gave Zhao Shuang a fierce look, and left without saying a word.

"Sister, this is..."

Young Master Qian was a little confused, but saw Zhao Shuang wave his hand.

"The fact that she can't get married has almost become a worry for her. She can't talk about it, just talk about it."

"So that's it!"

Young Master Qian nodded, seeming to understand. Then, he adjusted his clothes and said seriously.

"So, I am willing to take your sisters as my concubines, how about that?"

"Being able to become the master's concubine is the blessing they gained in their previous life!" Zhao Shuang said this and paused, "I wonder which master you want to marry?"

But I saw the young master smiling, evil and arrogant.

"I want it all."

"Oh!" Zhao Shuang clapped his hands, "Young master is really like a dragon and a tiger. He can do things that others cannot do. So, please let me go above and beyond and call you brother-in-law."

"brother in law!"

Young Master Qian also walked up the pole and patted Zhao Shuang on the shoulder, feeling very happy.

"Is it just this betrothal gift?"

Zhao Shuang rubbed his hands with a philistine expression on his face.

"Don't worry, you will be indispensable. After I marry your three sisters, you will move to Handan with me. At that time, I will help you find a position in Handan and ensure that you will have no worries about wealth."

"Then I'd like to thank my brother-in-law."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Prince Qian returned with his men and horses to prepare the betrothal gift. As soon as they left, Concubine Yan and others walked in.

This time, they are extremely united.

"Zhao Shuang, what exactly are you going to do?"

But Zhao Shuang clasped his fingers, seemingly calculating something.

"Tell me, how much is Mr. Zhao willing to spend to redeem this meat ticket?"
