Around dusk, Liu Feng handed over his work to the master of the workshop. He came to the door and rode his horse back to his residence.
"Greetings, General." As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Liu Feng saw dozens of sword-wielding maids following Sun Shangxiang and bowing to him in unison.
"Why are you kneeling to me?" Liu Feng asked in a deep voice.
"I heard that the general is going to present the merit of benefiting the people to the emperor of Xuchang. Please confer the title of Jiangling Marquis on Madam. We are deeply grateful for the general's kindness and pay our respects!”
"Bang!"
However, after kneeling and kowtowing, they had yet to get up.
Liu Feng suppressed his temper. Seeing the leading maid, he said,"I heard that the general wants the envoy to send this item to the East Wu and give it to the Marquis of Wu to complete the betrothal gift. We apologize for our rude words and neglecting the general!”
"Then, they kowtowed twice.”
"The last one is our sincerity to be loyal to you from now on. As long as you treat Madam well, we are willing to serve you.”
Liu Feng had a complicated look in his eyes. Each of these sword guards was trained by Sun Shangxiang.
Because of Sun Shangxiang's special status in Dongwu, no one dared to persuade her, so they could only let her be.
He didn't expect that there would be such elegance amidst his unyielding nature.
"Please rise, everyone."
Liu Feng helped the Sword Servant up and walked towards the inner courtyard.
"I lost again." As soon as he entered the door, Liu Feng saw Sun Shangxiang, who had changed into a colorful dress. She stood there and gave him a long bow.
"However, aren't you worried that after I'm conferred the title of Jiangling Marquis by the Emperor and South County becomes my fief, my brother Wu Hou will still not give South County to you?”Sun Shangxiang narrowed her eyes and looked at Liu Feng with a faint smile.
"That's not up to him." Liu Feng sat down at the table and looked at the dishes on it.
"My Sun and Liu families have allied to fight against the Cao bandits. You already have the land of Lujiang. Fei, if he got South County, did he still want to send troops in two directions with his own strength?”
"Little did you know that our previous agreement was for the two families to send troops together, so South County has to be handed over to us.”
"Whether Wu Hou is willing or not, we can act first and report later.”
Sun Shangxiang's expression turned serious as she sat down beside Liu Feng." Aren't you afraid of hurting the harmony between the two families? If there's a war in the future, how would I feel if I'm caught in it?"”
Liu Feng reached out and lifted her chin." You're my wife. I'll protect the Sun family in River East, provided that they don't cry or make a fuss and listen to me.”
"Humph." Sun Shangxiang did not struggle. Instead, she looked straight into Liu Feng's eyes and said," You are extremely arrogant. Most of the soldiers of Dong Wu are fighting against Shan Yue. Otherwise, it would not be a problem for us to gather 200,000 soldiers. How many people could Imperial Uncle Liu have? It's just tens of thousands, and most of them are from the four counties of Jingnan. How can they defeat the strong army of Dongwu?”
"Then let's bet again. This time, I can take South County before Zhou Yu.”
"Moreover, the two families will not fight because of this. How about it?”
"You won. What do you want?" Sun Shangxiang looked at Liu Feng warily.
Liu Feng looked at the wine cup on the table." Little Xiangxiang, you should fulfill our bet first. Could it be that you have already forgotten?”
Sun Shangxiang's face was flushed red from her cheeks to her neck.
"You win this time."
"But if I win next time, you have to wash my feet and pour me water.”
"Sure, if I win next time, I'll treat you to a dessert called ice cream.”
Seeing Sun Shangxiang's dumbfounded expression, he agreed immediately.
Liu Feng was overjoyed.
Little Xiang Xiang, I will eat you bit by bit. It was clean and there was nothing left.
