Chapter 931 Rejection

"You're going to betray your daughter's happiness because of the huge profits?" Nangong Wudi shouted with a stern face.

"Father, I am not doing it for myself, I am doing it for my family!" Nangong Martial Saint said helplessly. "I know that Li Mu is a strong Martial Saint realm. This news has spread throughout the city, but even if Li Mu is talented, he still has to wait until We can only realize it in the future, but the Qinghai Mo family, as long as we marry them, we will immediately become the number one family in the mountain city!"

"There is hope for the Martial Saint family and even the Martial God family in the future. Even if Li Mu is a strong Martial Saint realm, how much benefit can he bring to our family? Can he help us become a Martial Saint and a Martial God?"

Nangong Wusheng looked helpless. He also felt that Li Mu was indeed good and very talented, but when Li Mu fully matured, would it take ten or twenty years? Do they have that much time to wait?

Besides, even if Li Mu grows up, the biggest benefit will be with Li Mu, not the Nangong family, but doing business with the Mo family is different. When doing business with the Mo family, the biggest benefit will directly fall on their Nangong family. Martial Saint Zhang Nangong calculated it very clearly.

For the Nangong family, this is a century-old plan, but as for Li Mu, even if Li Mu is amazingly talented, he will definitely leave the mountain city in the future. Even if he becomes the Martial God and Martial Ancestor in the future, how much benefit can he bring to the Nangong family?

Unless Li Mu's achievements in the future can be so high that people will worship and fear him when he mentions his name, and will not dare to offend the Nangong family in the slightest, so that the Mountain City Alliance military can use all their strength to help or even please the Nangong family, otherwise Nangong Mingyue married Li Mu instead of Mo Shaochong, which was a loss-making deal for the Nangong family.

In terms of personal emotions, Nangong Wudi certainly hopes that Nangong Mingyue can marry the person he likes and find his own happiness, but from the standpoint of the Nangong family, he must consider the entire Nangong family.

There are more than a hundred direct and collateral members of the Nangong family, hundreds of nursing home servants, and countless people employed by various industries in its trading houses. He has to consider this big family.

Nangong Wusheng moved out of the family. Even Nangong Wudi, the old head of the family, couldn't say anything and couldn't find any place to refute, but he would never have the heart to marry Nangong Mingyue to a man who was thirty years older than her, even if this man was in the martial arts realm. Neither can the strong.

"If the Mo family wants to marry, except for Mingyue, any other female of the right age in the family will do. If the Mo family is willing, then marry them. If they are not willing, then reject it!"

Nangong Wudi said.

"Father......!"

"That's it!"

Nangong Wu Sheng still wanted to speak, but was directly interrupted by Nangong Wudi's wave.

In the end, Nangong Wusheng had nothing to say. Nangong Wudi disagreed, and he could not change Nangong Wudi's attitude. Nangong Wudi had no objection to the Nangong family, and it was difficult to change what he decided. What's more, Nangong Wusheng didn't know how to force it. Nangong Mingyue marries Mo Shaochong.

This matter should not have been so complicated. Li Mu had reached the Martial Saint Realm, and Nangong Mingyue was supposed to be marrying into a prestigious family. Many families in the mountain city would be the envy of them. But at this time, Qinghai City contacted the Nangong family and came out. The incident of Mo Shaochong put the Nangong family in a dilemma.

Western Region, Qinghai City, Qinghai City is only one hundred and sixty miles away from Qinghu. But compared with the Central Region, this place can only be regarded as a bitter cold place at best. The commerce is underdeveloped and the population is not large enough. Even Qinghai None of the lake monsters chose this direction as their main attack direction.

One is because Qinghai City is stronger than the mountain city, and the other is because breaking Qinghai City doesn't make much sense. You won't get much food, you can't get through the passage with the demon city, and the water demon can't occupy the bitter cold on the land. The land is not suitable for water monsters to survive.

Therefore, small-scale conflicts between Qinghu Water Demon and Qinghai City continued, but a major war had not even occurred. In order to change this situation, Qinghai City came up with the idea of ​​opening up trade routes and developing outward through marriage. After all, although Qinghai City It is a bitterly cold place, but there are not many resources. Once the trade routes are open, Qinghai City can develop quickly.

Qinghai City, the Zhou family's mansion, and several major families in Qinghai City gathered together. Because Qinghai City is a bitter cold place and there is no shortage of resources, the martial arts geniuses and martial arts masters here can practice with peace of mind. In addition, they do not have to fight with the Qinghu Water Monster in these years. In a big war, the losses are small and the energy is not distracted by the war.

Therefore, there are more strong men in Qinghai City than in the mountain city. In the luxurious villa of the Zhou family, Chen Taixin of the Qinghai Chen family, Zhou Tianwei of the Zhou family, Fan Shaohuang, the ancestor of the Fan family, and a group of strong men from Qinghai City gathered together and were drinking and having fun at the Zhou family. .

"Master Mo, Nangong Mingyueyan of the Nangong family in Shancheng City is famous far and wide. She is the leading beauty in Shancheng, and she is also very talented. If Master Mo marries her, it will be a match made in heaven for her talent and beauty!"

Zhou Tianwei raised his glass and gestured, then said with a smile.

"This is all thanks to Brother Zhou, who brokered the deal, otherwise I, Mo Shaochong, would not have been able to find such a good match!" Mo Shaochong said with a laugh.

The thought of marrying the Nangong family actually came to Zhou Tianwei's mind. The Zhou family is a master of weapon refining. Their entire family makes a living by refining weapons. A gem called Fire Wind Stone is abundant a hundred miles away from Qinghai City. , this kind of gem can significantly increase the speed of the magic weapon after being refined.

Therefore, the Zhou family invented a flying shuttle. This kind of flying shuttle is not big, only ten meters long, thick in the middle and thin at the ends. Not only can it rise to high altitudes, but its speed is much faster than the current airships. The fastest speed is even It can be twice as fast as an airship.

This kind of shuttle, combined with large storage boxes, can completely replace large cargo ships to a certain extent and take on the important task of transportation. It is also because of the invention of this shuttle that it is possible to successfully connect trade between Qinghai City and Mountain City.

Before this kind of shuttle was invented, it was too dangerous to cross Qinghu Lake with an airship that could only lift hundreds to hundreds of meters into the air. One was that the airship was too slow, and it took a long time to sail over Qinghu Lake. It's too long. If an airship wants to cross Qinghu Lake, it will often take more than half a month. Sometimes in order to avoid the powerful water monster, it even has to take a detour, which takes even longer time.

In addition, the flying height of the airship is limited. Even if it flies to the highest position, it is basically between 100 meters and 300 meters. Large cargo ships can only fly up to 100 meters in the air. This height is usually The more powerful water monsters can attack at will, and they can even knock down powerful water monsters with one blow.

The shuttle is different. The shuttle is small, fast, and can fly high enough. Except that it cannot transport as much cargo at one time as a large cargo ship, it is better than a large transport ship.

The Zhou family has now produced at least twenty or thirty shuttles. For safety reasons, they can divide these shuttles into three or four caravans, follow a relatively safer route across Qinghu Lake, and trade with the mountain city.

But if you want to open trade routes in the mountain city, you need a powerful local force. Otherwise, relying on them alone will involve a lot of energy and many paths will not work. That's why they thought of letting them go. Mo Shaochong married the Nangong family.

After all, Mo Shaochong was also a strong man in the Martial Saint Realm. After investigating, he felt that only Nangong Mingyue in the Nangong family was worthy of him, so he wanted to marry Nangong Mingyue and marry the Nangong family.

Among them, there is actually a more critical family, the Zhao family in Shancheng. A few years ago, someone saw Li Mu using Liang Yi to separate the halo, and it was finally confirmed that Zhao Xin, the legitimate son of the Zhao family, had been killed.

Originally, the head of the Zhao family, General Zhao, wanted to take revenge. However, because of the deep background of the Nangong family and the powerful strength of Nangong Invincible, even if the Zhao family wanted to take revenge, it would not be easy for them to succeed. If they wanted to succeed, they would have to enlist the power of the Mountain City Alliance military. , but based on some sporadic information, how could the Mountain City Alliance military be allowed to deal with Li Mu and the Nangong family.

The Zhao family has been waiting for news all these years, and they have not even taken any retaliatory measures against the Nangong family. It is as if they did not know that Zhao Xin was beaten to death by Li Mu. They did not seek revenge from Li Mu, nor did they target the Nangong family. Instead, they targeted the guests of the Nangong family. Be polite, just like you are.

Until the Zhou family in Qinghai City invented the flying shuttle and sent people to the mountain city to find cooperative forces, the Zhao family immediately felt that an opportunity had come, and directly launched the Nangong family and introduced Nangong Mingyue.

If the marriage really succeeds, it will naturally do no harm to the Zhao family. But if the marriage fails and causes trouble, it will do no harm to the Zhao family. Not only will the Zhao family be able to take over the cooperation with Qinghai City, This is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone.

The Zhao family sent people to introduce Nangong Mingyue. When he heard that Nangong Mingyue was the jewel in the Nangong family's eyes and was famous in the mountain city, Mo Shaochong was immediately moved. He was now fifty years old and could find someone with a prominent family background and beautiful appearance. How could I not be willing to take our young lady as my wife?

The Zhao family had made a clear plan. Li Mu had gone to Jincheng before and was about to reach the ninth realm, which would never be eliminated. The Zhao family knew that this was their last chance.

Once Mo Shaochong decides that Nangong Mingyue must marry him, when Li Mu returns, there will inevitably be a big mess. Even if Li Mu doesn't have time to return, and Mo Shaochong is allowed to marry Nangong Mingyue, then the Zhao family will The news was released that Nangong Mingyue had a man, which made Mo Shaochong feel like he was being tricked.

In this case, Mo Shaochong is not only likely to take revenge on the Nangong family, but is even more likely to take action directly and personally beat Li Mu to death. If Li Mu is killed, the relationship between the Mo family and the Nangong family will also take a turn for the worse. By then, the Zhao family will have no chance. It's coming.

"Haha, Nangong Wudi has now been made a general by the Mountain City Alliance military. Although it is only a false position, his status is still there. In the Nangong family, Nangong Wudi is old and frail. Until now, he has not dared to cross the heavenly tribulation and attack the Martial Saint Realm. His son Nangong Wu Shengkong has the name of Martial Saint, but he is still far away from being a Martial Saint!"

"As for the third generation of the Nangong family, Nangong Yongcheng's talent is also average. I am afraid that he will have no hope of becoming a martial saint in this life. When Nangong Wudi dies, the title of general will only fall on the head of the Mo family. At that time, the head of the Mo family could easily annex the Nangong family!"

Chen Taixin said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen, for your kind words!"

Mo Shaochong smiled broadly, feeling very proud of himself at this moment. He stepped into the Martial Saint Realm at the age of fifty, and was expected to reach the Martial God Realm at the age of sixty or seventy. After entering the Martial Saint Realm, his body became extraordinary and became a saint. He was no longer a human being, and his life span was also increasing. Although I don’t know exactly how many decades it can grow, but at least it is definitely easy to live a hundred years.

Martial arts improve, life expectancy increases, you can marry a beautiful woman, and soon you can directly annex a big family. This business is really profitable.

Just when the atmosphere was warm and the wine was flowing, the steward of the Zhou family hurried over with an ugly expression on his face.

"Why are you looking so ugly? I didn't expect that the head of the family is having a banquet with guests?"

Mo Shaochong's face turned slightly red while he was drinking. When he saw the steward coming in with an ugly look on his face, he immediately shouted in displeasure.

"Master, yes, it's a bit of a private matter at home!" The steward looked at the distinguished guests with an ugly face, and said in a low voice with a forced smile.

"Haha, since Patriarch Mo has something to do, I'll take my leave first. We'll drink this wine next time!" Chen Taixin put down his wine glass and said with a smile.

"What did the head of the Chen family say? We haven't finished the wine yet. If word gets out, why don't we say that the Mo family doesn't know how to treat guests!" Mo Shaochong quickly stopped him and shouted to the steward, "If you have something small, you don't have to say it. "Excuse me for interrupting my drinking with some family heads. If it's a big deal, just tell me directly. We are all our own people here, and let the family heads hear what the matter is!"

"This, this!" The steward said, "This, this!" He hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

"What are you waiting for? If you have something to say, please tell me quickly!" Mo Shao slammed the table and shouted.

The steward had no choice but to say, "Master, the people who went to the Nangong family to propose marriage have reported back that the Nangong family has rejected the marriage and has returned the Mo family's betrothal gift!"

"Unless, unless the head of the family chooses another woman from the Nangong family, the Nangong family cannot marry our Mo family!"

"What?"

There was silence in the hall at first, and then Mo Shaochong's anger rose. He stood up suddenly and shouted sternly, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"The head of the family, Nan, the Nangong family rejected the marriage and the betrothal gift from our Mo family. They said that Nangong Mingyue already has a Taoist companion and cannot marry with the Mo family!"

The steward swallowed his saliva and said helplessly. Originally, he wanted to tell Mo Shaochong privately about this matter, but Mo Shaochong insisted on letting him tell it in the hall, which made him look embarrassed now.

"Damn it, the Nangong family is so brave, they dare to reject me, Mo Shaochong!"

Mo Shaochong's expression turned ugly and he roared, "Nangong Wudi is just an old man. He has not yet entered the Martial Saint Realm. How dare he refuse me? If he doesn't obediently send the woman I, Mo Shaochong, likes to my door, It’s okay to come, but you still dare to refuse, do you really think that I don’t dare to bloodbath the Nangong family?”

"Mo Family Head is careful to say that Nangong Wudi holds the rank of Mountain City General after all. If his family is destroyed, it will be a slap in the face of the Mountain City Alliance military. Although our Qinghai City is not under the direct jurisdiction of the Alliance military, we cannot be too Don’t give face to the Alliance Army!”

Chen Taixin said quickly.
