Liu Ting, Ye Xiaotian, and Ma Qiancheng took advantage of the excitement to set up the marriage agreement. Although there was no paper document, the three of them were people of high status, and they could easily make a promise. Naturally, there was no doubt about this matter.
Although the child had not been born yet, and the gender could not be determined, even if they were all of the same sex, they would still be close friends. The relationship between the three of them naturally became much closer, so Liu Dadao ordered the kitchen to prepare wine, and invited the two of them and Qin Liangyu to the back house to entertain them.
Before the banquet, Ma Qiancheng picked up the old topic and said, "Brother Liu, Second Brother Ye, I am the youngest, so you have to give in to me. This is the first merit to conquer Hailong Tun, so you can't compete with me for it."
Liu Dadao, as the commander-in-chief of the eight armies to suppress the rebellion, could not compete with the vanguard. Anyway, he was the real commander-in-chief, so no matter who made the merit, he could not miss out on a share.
However, although it was said to be a marriage between the three families, in fact, he and Ma Qiancheng were relatives through Ye Xiaotian, and the closest one was Ye Xiaotian. Moreover, Ye Xiaotian was the vanguard of his headquarters, and with such a great opportunity to make a great contribution, he had to distinguish between them, so he looked at Ye Xiaotian.
Ye Xiaotian understood his meaning, thought for a moment, and said, "Since you call me Second Brother, how can I compete with you? Not only will I not take your merit, but … I will also help you."
Ma Qiancheng said happily, "This brother is really not in vain. How does Second Brother plan to help me?"
Ye Xiaotian glanced around, and Liu Ting understood, and said in a deep voice, "All retreat. Without my orders, those who approach without permission will be killed without mercy!"
Liu Dadao was in the army. He was a true general of the court and could not be compared to a chieftain like Ye Xiaotian, who dared to keep female servants by his side. That was why the people serving tea and pouring wine were all soldiers. Hearing the commander-in-chief's orders, everyone acknowledged and retreated.
Ye Xiaotian looked at Liu Ting, Ma Qiancheng, and Qin Liangyu, and said, "There's no one else here. I have a plan, and I was going to discuss it with Big Brother.
Ye Xiaotian pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there has always been a woman hidden in my camp."
Ma Qiancheng pointed at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Ha! I've long known that Second Brother is dissolute, as expected. Aren't you afraid that your sisters-in-law will be jealous? "
Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes at him. Ma Qiancheng turned to Qin Liangyu and clicked his tongue. "Look at him."
Qin Liangyu looked at him with a smile and said softly, "If Langjun wants to take in concubines or marry a few more wives, I have no objections."
Ma Qiancheng looked at her sweet and cute smile, but he couldn't help but shiver. This was a plan to lure the enemy in. Once they fell into the trap, they would be killed without a trace. They couldn't be fooled.
Liu Ting furrowed his brows and said to Ye Xiaotian, "This war has been going on for several months, and we've been marching all day. You find it boring, so you leave a woman by your side to serve you. I'll turn a blind eye and pretend I don't know anything, but you don't have to say it out loud. Luckily there are no outsiders here. Remember not to mention it anywhere else. Otherwise, I won't be able to answer to the generals even if I want to side with you. "
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his nose awkwardly, especially when he met Qin Liangyu's curious and amused gaze. Ye Xiaotian felt even more helpless. "Is my reputation so bad? I've never done anything like bullying others. Now that I'm the Chieftain of a mansion, I only have four wives and I've never been to the red-light district. Other than a few wives, I've never had any other women. I've never even taken a maid. Why is everyone so sure that I'm dissolute? "
Ye Xiaotian coughed and said, "Eldest Brother, Third Brother, you're thinking too much. I left this woman in the army because of her special identity! "
Ye Xiaotian became serious and said word by word, "She's … Yang Yinglong's third wife, the eldest daughter of the White Mud Tian Clan, Tian Xiufeng!"
The hall fell silent. Liu Dadao and Ma Qiancheng were filled with deep veneration. Even Qin Liangyu widened his almond-shaped eyes as some awkward thoughts rose in his mind. I don't know if this second brother is good at coaxing people, or if he's good at bed, but … how did he even manage to abduct Yang Yinglong's third wife?
Ma Qiancheng slapped his thigh and said, "Oh my! I knew it. Back when I attended your wedding in Crouching Bull Ridge, I vaguely heard that this third wife and you … Haha, it really is groundless. There's a reason for it! I've vented my hatred! "
His own mother had been tricked by Yang Yinglong into losing her chastity. Because of this, she had even caused her husband to frame her in an attempt to seek refuge with her lover. Now that Yang Yinglong had suffered retribution and had been cuckolded by Ye Xiaotian, Ma Qiancheng was extremely delighted.
Liu Dadao slapped his thigh and said, "This method is too shameless! However, if you want to use it to attack Yang Yinglong and provoke him into battle, it might be effective. However … even if you're doing it for the imperial court, second brother, that Tian Xiufeng is the wife of the main culprit. Unless she's willing to help you and pledge loyalty to the imperial court, I'm afraid she won't be able to escape the crime of having her entire clan executed. "
Ye Xiaotian could not take it anymore. He slapped the wine table and said angrily, "Enough! What kind of person do you think I, Ye Xiaotian, am? Am I that kind of lecherous and immoral person? "
Liu Ting said seriously, "Second brother, men are 'lecherous' by nature. Who says lecherous is immoral? I'll be the first to disagree! You don't need to think too much about it. What's the harm in admitting something like this? It's a waste of one's youth if one isn't lecherous! "
Ma Qiancheng smiled mysteriously and said, "I heard that when Second Brother was in Gourd County, you and that beautiful wife of Magistrate Hua had some unclear and unclear relationship. If you want to say that you're immoral, that's hard to say. But if you want to say that you're lecherous …"
Qin Liangyu looked at Ye Xiaotian with a strange look in her eyes. There was a hint of disdain in her eyes. Previously, she could reluctantly accept the third madam of Bozhou because of their relationship as enemies. But Magistrate Hua's wife … Why did this man specialize in seducing other people's wives? No, she had to make Qiancheng spend less time with him. He'd picked up a bunch of bad habits.
Ye Xiaotian glared at Ma Qiancheng angrily. "Who told you that?"
Ma Qiancheng betrayed Li Xiangrong without hesitation. "When I went to your wedding banquet, I heard it from Li Xiangrong."
"That bastard! I'll settle the score with him when I get back!" Ye Xiaotian cursed fiercely before explaining, "You're all mistaken. Although I brought the third madam with me, the two of us are innocent. We've never done anything improper!"
Liu Ting and Ma Qiancheng looked at Ye Xiaotian with a look that said, "Whatever you say, don't be so flustered and exasperated." Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to continue explaining, "I deliberately brought her with me in the camp because I had my own considerations. Otherwise, why do you think I set up an ambush at Loushan Pass so early on? And this time, I want to borrow her help again! "
Ye Xiaotian explained his idea in detail. Liu Ting and Ma Qiancheng looked at each other and slapped their thighs in unison. "So ruthless!" Qin Liangyu also looked at Ye Xiaotian with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Ye Xiaotian really couldn't stand the three people's disdainful looks. He couldn't help but say, "This plan has been used by Emperor Qin, Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhou Gongjin, Han Shizhong, and even Yue Wumu. What's wrong with me using it?"
Liu Dadao and Ma Qiancheng said in unison, "But it's a man, not a woman! Not only is it a woman, but it's also a beauty! I'm a good man who has tender and protective feelings for the fairer sex. "
Ye Xiaotian bristled with anger. "Bah! If you talk nonsense again, I'll cut all ties with you! "
