Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 163: Crazy Sheep

After so much back and forth, Marshal Lu really wanted to poach people. No one would have too many talented people. "Speak."

Ning Zhi smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Give me money, food, and land."

Marshal Lu: ...

He is a stingy miser, why would he be willing to bleed?

"How can you be so vulgar? You only know how to ask for these vulgar things like gold and silver all day long, bringing shame to the Ning family."

Ning Zhiwei looked at him and saw that he was adorned with gold and jade ornaments all over his body, a fine purple jade pendant around his waist, ten jewel rings of various colors on his hands, and his clothes were made of tribute fabric worth thousands of gold.

How can such a person have the nerve to call others vulgar?

"You are noble and you are great, then you should take off your valuable clothes and expensive ornaments, then you can be naked and look more elegant."

Lu Dashuai was so handsome that he vomited blood. Is she really a woman? Is this young lady who grew up on the border so unscrupulous?

He changed the subject, "Mr. Zhou, take a closer look. This is the true face of the person you are loyal to. She doesn't take you seriously at all and is willing to sell you out for money."

Zhou Hongye was almost laughing to death. The lord was really a wonderful person. She could always use strange methods to achieve her goals.

But his face was filled with grief, sadness, and confusion, so complicated that it could not be described in words. "As long as she is my master, no matter how she treats me, I will have no complaints. I will only do my best and plan for her with all my heart."

Marshal Lu wanted such a loyal counselor even more.

"Ning Zhiwei, just be a decent person and let him go free."

Ning Zhiwei was immediately annoyed, "So you want to get something for free, without paying anything, and all you know how to do is say nice words to deceive people. There is no future for you if you follow such an insincere person."

She shouted, "Fellow soldiers, why don't you join our Ning Family Army? I promise that you will have enough food and clothes, and I can also provide food and clothes for your families."

What fame, wealth and honor? For ordinary soldiers, being alive, well fed and warmly clothed is the good life they dream of.

The soldiers in Mingzhou were so excited that some of them couldn't help asking, "Can we really eat enough?"

"Yes, I swear in the name of the Ning Family Army." Ning Zhiwei raised his right hand and swore, his expression serious and solemn, and everyone believed it easily.

There is no way, the Ning family army has a very good reputation.

"Then can we bring our families with us?"

Ning Zhiwei smiled and said, "Sure, you are welcome to come anytime."

Seeing his men wavering under his nose, Marshal Lu immediately became anxious, "Shut up, Ning Zhiwei, you are shaking the morale of the army."

"That means you haven't done well, and you should reflect on yourself," Ning Zhiwei said confidently. With Marshal Lu's miserly character, the soldiers under him would not have an easy life.

The generals might be better off, but the soldiers under them must have had a hard time.

"Our Ning family generals reflect on themselves three times a day: Did they feed their soldiers well? Did they keep them warm? Did they shed blood and tears?"

There is no harm without comparison. The Lu family army had no comparison and no way out before. No matter how hard it was, they had to grit their teeth and hold on.

But now, the Ning family army called on them!

Marshal Lu looked at the soldiers in turmoil and finally realized how powerful Ning Zhiwei's ability to bewitch people was.

With just a few words, he convinced countless people. How can we fight this war?

Alas, he should have taken action at the beginning, captured the person and then negotiated the terms, but now, it's too late to say anything.

"Jingning County Lady, is it too much to steal my girlfriend right in front of me?"

Ning Zhi smiled and said, "I learned it from you. You do the first day and I do the fifteenth."

Marshal Lu: ...

The staff member at the side lowered his voice and said, "Don't waste your words on her. You are no match for her when it comes to talking nonsense."

Marshal Lu barely managed to save his precarious self-esteem, "What should we do then?"

The staff sighed silently, "We have missed the best opportunity to take action. Now we can only...appease the enemy."

The deputy general was very impatient. "Why not just snatch the young master and the young lady away? Why waste time?"

The staff couldn't help but roll their eyes. They just do nothing but fight and kill all day without using their brains. "How can we rob them? They clearly want compensation. We can't just fight them."

The problem is that it hurts to let the lord spend a penny.

"Also, I think this Princess Jingning is not an ordinary person. It would be best if she could form a good relationship with me."

Marshal Lu's heart moved, "Let her be my principal wife? This... seems to be possible."

The staff almost choked. Although the lord was the local emperor of Mingzhou and was used to bullying men and women in the area under his jurisdiction and snatching whoever he liked, how could he have the nerve to let a county lady of super rank become the second wife of a second-rank official?

"Do you think she would be willing to be the stepmother of a dozen children?" It would be good enough if she didn't kill them.

Marshal Lu was silent, "But, I can't suppress Ning Zhiwei."

The staff patiently analyzed, "That requires her to be willing. Let's not talk about feelings, but only about interests. At this moment, the marriage between the Lu and Ning families will connect the two places into one, which is in the interests of both families. If she considers the Ning family, she will definitely agree to this proposal."

General Lu was persuaded. "Who should we choose? My sons are not very outstanding. Only Jifang is okay, but he is a few years older than me..."

The aide pursed his lips and said, "Let her choose for herself."

"What if you pick Jung-Jung Mei?"

"Then let the eldest son be the heir. For the sake of the Lu family's century-long plan, please be patient for a while and wait until the big things are settled. Think about your ambitions and eternal hegemony."

When Marshal Lu appeared in front of everyone again, he had a smiling face and walked to Madam Ning's carriage to pay his respects.

"There is a separate courtyard of our Lu family in front. We sincerely invite Madam Ning to bring her family to rest for a while."

Madam Ning didn't even show her face, "I don't care about anything. If you have anything, please discuss it with the head of the Ning family."

She let it go and praised Ning Zhiwei highly, which instead strengthened Marshal Lu's idea of ​​​​marriage.

He touched her whole body and took off the jade pendant and ten rings. "Jingning County Lady, this is a gift for you."

Ning Zhiwei was disgusted, "Don't be so fancy, how can I use something you've used? Give me some money."

Marshal Lu gritted his teeth and decided to take the gamble, thinking that he could not catch the wolf without sacrificing the lamb.

He took out all the money he had on him for the first time. Ning Zhiwei took it and counted it, looking very disgusted, "What? Marshal Lu only has 10,000 taels of silver notes on him? Is the Lu family so poor? Whoever marries into the family will be unlucky."

Marshal Lu's face was very dark. He turned to look at his men and said, "Do you have any money? Give it all to me."

The subordinates scraped together some money and finally managed to get 30,000 taels of silver notes, which they presented to Ning Zhiwei, finally earning a smile from her.

"Princess Jingning, please."

Ning Zhiwei accepted them all with a smile, and also took over the jade pendant and ring from before. If she didn't need them, she could give them away or sell them.

"Okay, send a pigeon to the silver-faced young general and tell him that we are temporarily resting at the Lu Family Villa in Cao County. Please station an army at the border between the two places and be ready to respond to my orders at any time."

Marshal Lu's face changed, "Princess Jingning, you are judging others by your own standards..."

Ning Zhiwei stared into Marshal Lu's eyes and continued sinisterly, "One more thing. If I make a mistake, send the secret guards to execute the decapitation operation and kill all the members of the Lu family. No one should be spared."

Damn, Marshal Lu swore. Saying that in front of him was a blatant provocation!
