Chapter 349 Li Kai: When will I become a grandfather? (Begging for rewards and monthly tickets!)
into the night.
It was a charming night. Looking up at the sky, it was like a calm sea. The deep blue sky was quiet, and the bright moon was dotted in the sky. When the moon was full, the stars in the sky like tiny gems surrounded the bright moon. It seemed that there was indeed a moon goddess on the bright moon, who followed the example of her father Emperor Jun and ruled the stars in the sky.
Li Kai's county magistrate's mansion was bustling with noise and bright lights.
Tianxuan's concubine: Nongyu, is the only daughter of Li Kai, the governor of Shu County. Although Tianxuan came to Shu with the mission ordered by Zhengge to subdue the Shushan clan, because of this relationship, Li Kai and his wife, who had been separated from their beloved daughter for many years, set up a banquet in the mansion to welcome Tianxuan and others.
"Mr. Wushuang, please."
In the spacious and simple hall, Li Kai and his wife, Mrs. Hu, sat at the top. Nong Yu, who was as elegant as an orchid in the valley, nestled in the arms of her mother, Mrs. Hu, like an ordinary good daughter. Tian Xuan, Yan Fei, Yue Shen and other girls were divided into two rows and sat below Li Kai and his wife. In front of each person was a table, on which were placed various delicacies and a small pot of wine.
As for Tianxuan's other subordinates, Li Kai placed them in the military camp in the city and entertained them with fine wine and delicious food.
The initial awkwardness was over. After enjoying some dishes, Li Kai picked up the wine bottle in front of him and gestured to Tian Xuan who was sitting below him.
"Master Li Kai," Tian Xuan picked up the wine bottle in front of him and habitually wanted to call him 'Master Li Kai', but after saying this, he himself felt weird, "Forget it, in this private occasion, I'll just call you father-in-law!"
When Tianxuan said this, Li Kai and his daughter, as well as Zi Nu, who knew that this marriage was in name only, blushed. Mrs. Hu, who was already old and whose once gorgeous face was now covered with wrinkles, but whose former elegance could still be seen from the subtle details, regarded her daughter Nong Yu's behavior as a shy act and glanced at her daughter with a playful look.
"Since you said so, then in this private occasion, I will also be so arrogant as to call you Tianxuan, right?"
"Of course." Tianxuan agreed.
"Ahem." Li Kai coughed several times, pretending to be dignified, "Tianxuan, since my daughter has married you, you must treat her well." Halfway through his words, Li Kai's eyes swept across Nong Yu's flat belly, "My daughter has been married to you for a while, how come she is not even pregnant?"
At the end of his speech, Li Kai's tone was slightly angry.
Madam Hu took over the conversation in a tacit understanding: "Tianxuan, you also know that we are both old. Now that Nongyu has married you, my husband and I only hope to hold our grandson as soon as possible."
As a daughter, Nanyue, upon hearing her parents say this, faced with this marriage in name only, and the indelible mark left on her heart, her pretty face turned pale without Li Kai and his wife noticing, her delicate body trembled slightly, and a strong sense of guilt rose in her heart.
"Father-in-law and mother-in-law," Tian Xuan's expression changed slightly after hearing what Li Kai and his wife said, and he comforted them, "In my opinion, you are in your prime, there is no need to say such discouraging words."
"Please rest assured. Before you are 100 years old, I will make sure that you become grandparents. If you have many children, I can even adopt one to you, my father-in-law. Then you can take your surname Li and continue the Li family's incense!"
At the end, Tianxuan had a look of confidence on his face. "Hahaha." Li Kai heard this, even though he hadn't made any progress yet, he was still very happy, "Tianxuan, then I'll wait for the day when you make me your grandfather!"
Yan Fei, Yue Shen, Da Siming and Shao Siming all knew that Tian Xuan's marriage with Zi Nu and Nong Yu was in name only. When they heard that Tian Xuan wanted Li Kai, a father-in-law in name only, to become a grandfather as soon as possible, they all stared at Tian Xuan with amused eyes, and they all felt more or less jealous in their hearts.
"Nongyu, mother tells you..." After getting Tianxuan's assurance, Mrs. Hu, who had always regretted not being able to give Li Kai a son to continue the family line, looked at her son-in-law Tianxuan with a touch of satisfaction from the bottom of her heart. She pulled her daughter's soft hand, put her lips close to Nongyu's ear, and opened and closed her pink lips, imparting knowledge to Nongyu.
After her mother whispered some secrets to her, even though she was filled with guilt towards her parents, her pretty face still turned red, just like the red clouds hanging in the sky at dusk falling on her jade-white and crystal cheeks.
"Cough cough."
With Tianxuan's martial arts, what Mrs. Hu, who was not good at martial arts, whispered to Nongyu was no different from what she shouted directly into his ear. As another party involved, Tianxuan was also in a dilemma. Facing the meaningful and half-smiley looks from Yan Fei and Yue Shen, he could only imitate Li Kai and change the subject with a few dry coughs.
"Father-in-law, I believe you have read the official document I sent to Shu a month ago. How are the preparations going?"
"Everything is ready." Hearing Tian Xuan mention official business, Li Kai's expression became stern, and he said in a deep voice, "Five thousand soldiers who were born in mountain villages and have experience in mountain life have been recruited and can go out at any time."
"That's good." Tian Xuan smiled with satisfaction. "In mountain warfare, soldiers with mountain life experience are the most important! Shushan covers a vast area with many trees. The Shushan clan has lived there for generations. If there are no mountain soldiers, rashly entering the mountains is like diving into a dragon's den and a tiger's lair."
"Husband," Yan Fei couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this, "The mountains and forests are naturally dangerous, but can't you set a fire and burn all the trees on the mountain to force the Shushan clan out?"
Tian Xuan gave Yan Fei a helpless look and said, "Yan Fei, do you know how many people make a living by chopping wood and hunting on Mount Shu?" Without waiting for Yan Fei to respond, Tian Xuan answered the question himself, "At least four or five thousand!"
"The Shu Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and there are many mountains and rivers in Shu. If we set fire rashly, it will cause a continuous fire, and half of Shu County will be turned into a furnace. I don't know whether the people of the Shu Mountain clan will be burned to death. But my head and yours will definitely be burned by this fire!"
After hearing what Tianxuan said, Yan Fei's pretty face flushed. Facing those foolish looks coming from all directions, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Where's the realgar?" After criticizing Yan Fei's wild ideas from a professional perspective, Tian Xuan's attention fell on Li Kai again, "There are many snakes and insects in the mountains and forests. Father-in-law, how much realgar have you prepared?"
"One thousand stones!" Li Kai replied proudly.
"One thousand stones?" Tian Xuan chewed on the number Li Kai said, "Then, it should be enough."
"Rest for a few days, and then the army will follow me to conquer Shushan." Speaking of business, Tianxuan is no longer the son-in-law of Li Kai and his wife, but a senior official of the Great Qin Empire. His face is still the same, but his majesty is fully revealed. Although the people present are all relatives, no one dares to underestimate this young empire feudal lord.
