The Savage Lady Wants to Kill Me! Reborn on the Path of Cultivation

Duan Tianyang looked at Tong Ling carefully again. Although she was still young, she had already revealed an extraordinary temperament and obviously had the potential to grow into a peerless beauty.

However, Tong Ling's youthful charm was like a blank sheet of paper in Duan Tianyang's eyes and could hardly arouse his interest.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Alas, sometimes being too handsome can also be a very troublesome thing...

He muttered vaguely: "Even if I promised you before, it was because you forced me to do so..."

As soon as the words fell, Tong Ling's eyes sparkled with a glittering luster. She stared at Duan Tianyang with a hint of resentment, and her voice trembled: "You...are you going to regret it?"

Duan Tianyang was shocked by this sudden change. He waved his hands and denied it hastily: "No, I never..."

Before he finished speaking, Tong Ling had already wiped away the tears in her eyes and smiled brightly. She tightly held Duan Tianyang's arm and said happily: "I knew you wouldn't break your promise! A man's word is as good as his bond!"

Duan Tianyang had a bitter look on his face. What he originally wanted to say was: I never thought of marrying you.

But Tong Ling's words seemed to have forced him into a dead end. If he went back on his word, wouldn't he lose his credibility as a man?

He was just thinking about how to refute, when Tong Ling asked again: "When are we getting married?"

Faced with Tong Ling's continuous questioning, he was obviously unable to cope.

To be precise, although he has always claimed to be a playboy and a popular man, in fact, his emotional experience in modern times is blank, and he has never even had a girlfriend in the true sense...

His precious first kiss was also given to Ling Ziyan after he traveled to this world...

It's fine for him to be smooth-talking and groping in front of the young lady, but once it comes to real feelings, he seems at a loss.

Whether facing Yi Shuirou or Tong Ling at the moment, he felt powerless, not to mention Ling Ziyan...

He scratched his head anxiously, then looked to Wen Daozun and Li Jiu for help.

Wen Daozun and Li Jiu finally came to their senses, and now they basically understood the whole story.

Li Jiu stood up calmly, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, and said to Tong Ling: "Miss Tong, the country is in danger right now, and the enemy is approaching. As the leader of the Hongxing Army, you should not be distracted by personal matters at this time, such as getting married. This move may be criticized by the soldiers, and then affect his reputation in the army."

Li Jiu's words were both reasonable and logical, and cleverly provided Duan Tianyang with an excuse to avoid marriage.

Duan Tianyang nodded repeatedly and agreed: "That's right, that's right. Besides, you are still young, and your family has encountered misfortune. It is indeed not suitable for marriage at this time."

After hearing this, Tong Ling snorted and said dissatisfiedly: "You are just looking for excuses. Since now is not appropriate, when is the right time?"

Duan Tianyang looked embarrassed and stammered, "This... I..."

Seeing this, Tong Ling slowed down her tone and said, "If you find it difficult to answer now, then think about it slowly and tell me when you have made up your mind." She paused, then smiled and said, "In the future, I will live here."

After hearing her words, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes, wondering in their hearts: Isn't this girl too open-minded?

Hua Duoer, who was standing by, could no longer hold back. She frowned and asked sternly, "Ms. Tong, you are still unmarried, but you are living here with Brother Tian. How can this be allowed?"

Brother Tian...

It's so affectionate...

After hearing this, Tong Ling tightly grasped Duan Tianyang's sleeve and retorted: "I am his fiancée, what's wrong with me staying here temporarily?"

Tong Ling’s words made Hua Duo even more unhappy. Her frown deepened and she looked at Tong Ling coldly.

Tong Ling was not to be outdone and responded with a firm look. When their eyes met, the air around them seemed to suddenly drop several degrees.

As a modern man, Duan Tianyang is not as conservative as they are. As long as he doesn't have to marry Tong Ling, everything else is a small matter.

He tried to smooth things over: "Since you have no place to live for the time being, then you can live here first."

Then, he turned to Hua Duoer and said softly, "Duoer, please arrange a room for her."

"Yes, Brother Tian." Although Hua Duoer was dissatisfied, she still listened to Duan Tianyang's words.

She turned her head and said to Tong Ling unhappily, "Follow me."

Tong Ling looked like she had won a battle, with a victorious smile on her face.

Huaduo ignored her childish behavior and turned away.

Tong Ling did not pester him any more. She smiled at Duan Tianyang, then left happily with Hua Duoer.

Duan Tianyang felt relieved after watching them leave the courtyard. He shook his head, turned around and walked back to the pavilion.

Seeing Wen Daozun and Li Jiu looking at him with a smile, he spoke first: "Don't ask, don't mention it, I am also a victim."

Wen Daozun and Li Jiu smiled at each other. After Duan Tianyang sat down, Wen Daozun cleverly changed the subject and returned to the old issue they had discussed before.

He said: "Sir, our army should not send troops to the East Gate at the moment. The most urgent task should be to stabilize the situation in the Northwest Gate and expand the troops. Only by increasing our strength can we deter the Jin army and Zhou Baiyuan and make them dare not attack easily."

Duan Tianyang nodded absentmindedly, then suddenly thought of an important question and asked, "Does our army have sufficient food reserves?"

Wen Daozun and Li Jiu both shook their heads and replied, "The army's food and grass are already very tight."

Li Jiu then suggested: "The most direct way is to collect grain from the people."

But Wen Daozun immediately retorted: "No! The war in the major cities of the Northwest Pass has just ended, and the lives of the people have only just begun to stabilize. Collecting grain at this time is tantamount to cutting off their livelihood."

Li Jiu expressed his opinion seriously: "The issue of food and grass is related to the survival of our army. If we don't collect food from the people, how can our soldiers fill their stomachs?"

Duan Tianyang frowned, this was indeed a big problem.

Just as he was lost in thought, a hearty laugh suddenly broke out from the archway of the courtyard, followed by someone saying proudly: "Brother Tian, ​​just go and expand the troops, and leave the food and grass issues to me!"

When everyone heard the sound, they all turned towards the source of the sound.

I saw a plain-looking young man walking out of the archway. He was a little fat, but his steps were brisk.

After looking at it carefully, Duan Tianyang was surprised to find that it was Jinbao.

Duan Tianyang's face showed a look of joy. He hadn't seen Jin Bao for a long time, and he couldn't help asking, "Jin Bao, you are here, do you have any ideas?"

Jin Bao walked into the pavilion excitedly, and then said with a relaxed smile: "Brother Tian, ​​I have been running around and contacting grain merchants from all over the place. Fortunately, I have found a grain merchant in Xinyang City who is willing to sell grain, but the price is a little high. I am now negotiating with them to try to get a more reasonable price."
