Castle of Black Iron - Chapter 1368

Chapter 1368: 1368




"Thanks, commander-in-chief . I'm overwhelmed by your unexpected favor . However, you might not know that I've already got too many wives in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory . They have been sharing my joys and sorrows for so many years . I treat all of my wives equally, regardless of age and status . My wives call each other sisters . If the pearl of Zuoqiu Clan marries me, I'm afraid to embarrass her . . . " Zhang Tie said frankly .  

Zhang Tie had been utterly different than the boy in Blackhot City . At that time, he was young, frivolous and hot-blooded like a horny hyena . At the sight of beauties, he would have a maggot in his mind . He even had an absurd one-night stand with those girls of Rose Association . By contrast, Zhang Tie had already known that the real women in a man's life should be sentimental instead of being a top beauty or a princess of a major clan . The sentimental woman was priceless while the callous woman was like flowing water . Even if the pearl of Zuoqiu Clan was as beautiful as a fairy and would bring a mountain of benefits to Zhang family, Zhang Tie still felt such a woman was like flowing water . Even if she was sweet and brilliant, he could only appreciate her quietly on the bank . . .  

Additionally, Zhang Tie didn't need to associate with any major clans or sects through marriage anymore; neither would he embarrass his wives only for the sake of one person .  

Although being dignified, Bai Suxian's emotional experience and life experience couldn't be matched by commoners . Additionally, she had fought demons together with Zhang Tie in the Earth-elements Realm . Zhang Tie didn't expect that other princesses of major clans in Taixia Country could make it . Additionally, Zhang Tie was clear that he couldn't treat other princesses of major clans as same as how he did to Bai Suxian .  

Zuoqiu Mingyue was not stupid . After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Zuoqiu Mingyue had understood the deep meaning of the simple word "embarrass"——Zhang Tie was worried about making the pearl of Zuoqiu Clan embarrassed by having her on the same footing with the other wives, which might offend Zuoqiu Clan . Additionally, if the pearl of Zuoqiu Clan had a great qi field, the other wives of Zhang Tie might not feel comfortable .

Zhang Tie declined it politely .

Zuoqiu Mingyue had not imagined that his suggestion could be declined . How could he refuse the good intention of the Military God? Was he lunatic or an idiot? However, Zuoqiu Mingyue didn't lose his temper; instead, he appreciated Zhang Tie's high EQ more .

Zuoqiu Mingyue had long heard about the identities of Zhang Tie's wives . Those foreign women and a pair of twins were all humble commoners with ordinary family backgrounds . In the eyes of the Military God of Taixia Country, Zhang Tie's wives were nothing different than those from common families on the roadside, including Ms . Olina who had a great talent in commerce and O'Laura who was a queen . Zhang Tie's property in Waii Subcontinent was really too poor in the eyes of the Military God of Taixia Country . Zhang Tie refused the princess of Zuoqiu Clan for the sake of these common people and give up the beautiful jade for the sake of some stones, which impressed Zuoqiu Mingyue that Zhang Tie was a sentimental and reliable person .

"It seems that our Zuoqiu Clan's junior isn't destined to marry you . . . " Zuoqiu Mingyue let out a sigh pitifully and became silent . If he kept urging that, the Military God of Taixia Country would lose his face too much .



After throwing a glance at Zuoqiu Mingyue, Zhang Tie revealed a smile, "My elder brother is in the prime of his life . He's talented and remarkable with decent and tolerant morality . His family doctrines are rigorous . My elder sisters-in-law are all Hua women who're cultured, elegant and reasonable . They all look as noble as those from major clans . At commander-in-chief's favor, this humble man suggests one princess of Zuoqiu Clan to marry my elder brother as my elder sister-in-law . How about that?"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Zuoqiu Mingyue became silent for a second . He then became a bit interested in it . He had heard about Zhang Tie's elder brother . Although Zhang Yang's achievement in cultivation was not as brilliant as that of Zhang Tie, the reputation of Jinwu Business Group had also spread over Taixia Country over these years . Additionally, it was said that Zhang Tie's elder brother was also a pharmacist . Therefore, Zhang Yang was also not bad . The two brothers assisted with each other with a profound brotherhood . It's also a good choice for Zuoqiu Clan's female junior to marry Zhang Yang as Zhang Tie's elder sister-in-law if she couldn't marry Zhang Tie . . .

"Fine, you have my words . . . " Zuoqiu Mingyue promised Zhang Tie at once .

"Now that commander-in-chief has agreed, I will notice my family members to propose marriage in Biyong Palace someday . . . "

Zuoqiu Mingyue nodded, which meant that they had fixed it . The two people didn't even mention whom to marry Zhang Tie's elder brother . Because there was an existing rule on connections through marriage between major clans of Taixia Country, Zhang Tie knew that Zuoqiu Clan would definitely find a proper female junior to marry his elder brother . That lady would never look ugly while she must be a direct descendant of Zuoqiu Mingyue; otherwise, this connection through marriage would be meaningless .  

After fixing the connection through marriage in brief talk, Zuoqiu Mingyue and Zhang Tie instantly felt the other one a bit closer . Additionally, Zuoqiu Mingyue's words sounded much more genial .

"I have one more thing to negotiate with you!"

"Go ahead, please, commander-in-chief . "

"It's said that you've established Fire-Dragon Corps in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory . In the beginning, Fire-Dragon Corps have been matched with Fiery Oil weaponry; additionally, they have mastered special battle methods?"



"Yes!" Zhang Tie nodded as he felt it was unnecessary to cover it .  

"The Fiery Oil weaponry have just been delivered to the troops in the theater of operations . However, those corps are still learning to use them . As there's no reference or model, I want you to assign a part of your Fire-Dragon Corps to the theater of operations and have them stationed at the bank of Weishui River . . . "

After hearing Zuoqiu Mingyue's request, Zhang Tie instantly understood that Zuoqiu Mingyue wanted a part of Fire-Dragon Corps to serve as a reference of those corps in the theater of operations so that those corps could be familiar with the use of Fiery Oil weaponry as soon as possible .

The army would finally be put into use in the theater of operations . Zhang Tie couldn't refuse such a request . Actually, since he established Fire-Dragon Corps, Zhang Tie had been preparing for that .

"Fine . . . " Zhang Tie nodded straightforwardly, "I wonder how many people do you need, commander-in-chief?"

"50,000!"

"But who would be responsible for guiding the part of Fire-Dragon Corps in the theater of operations?"

"I will direct them!"

"Okay, I will have people arrange it!"

"The earlier they come, the better it will be . Because the large-scale war near the frontline of Weishui River and Helan Mountain is coming soon!" Zuoqiu Mingyue said sincerely .  

"Don't worry, commander-in-chief, I will have 50,000 people of Fire-Dragon Corps appear at the bank of Weishui River together with their weaponry within 1 week!" Zhang Tie said resolutely .

"Fine!"

. . .

After fixing the matter of assignment of Fire-Dragon Corps, the knight subordinate of Zuoqiu Mingyue who led Zhang Tie here just now reported that the Cheji General of Ningzhou Province had arrived and was waiting for Zuoqiu Mingyue . After finding that Zuoqiu Mingyue was busy, Zheng Tie bade a farewell to him right away .  

Not until he left the high tower in the center of Xuanyuan Fortress did Zhang Tie patted his head as he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to resign .  

Strangely, since he saw Zuoqiu Mingyue, Zhang Tie had felt bashful talking about it .

Now that he had forgotten about it, Zhang Tie could only comfort himself to serve this term for another period . No matter what, everything about the four provinces had already been in the right way . Nothing more to worry about .  Zhang Tie had enough time to do whatever he wanted . Additionally, Lu Yanyu's suggestion was reasonable . If he mentioned his resignation at this critical moment, Zuoqiu Mingyue would probably disagree with him . The reason was that the four provinces couldn't stand any big trouble anymore . Even if he did nothing in his position, as long as he could reassure the people, Zuoqiu Mingyue would never replace him with someone else .

'Whatever . I will talk about it next year . After half a year later when the four provinces' situation stabilizes, I will ask to resign . By then Zuoqiu Mingyue might agree with it . '

Zhang Tie muttered .

. . .

Soon after he came to the avenue in Xuanyuan Fortress, white light had flashed by . Before Zhang Tie responded to it, Bai Suxian had already thrown herself into Zhang Tie's arms tenderly .  

"Why didn't you tell me that you're coming back in advance?" Bai Suxian complained with a pleasant and spoiled look . After leaving him for half a year, Bai Suxian instantly ran over here soon after she heard that Zhang Tie had returned to Xuanyuan Fortress . Therefore, the moment Zhang Tie left the central high tower of Xuanyuan Fortress, he had been captured by Bai Suxian .

All the passers-by were attracted by such a scene——a beauty embraced a teenager as she acted in a spoiled way in the teenager's arms as if nobody was on their sides .  

"Ahem . . . ahem . I just wanted to give you a surprise . " Zhang Tie said tenderly as he patted her soft waist as he looked around without caring about the onlookers' eye light . Closely after that, he buried his head into Bai Suxian's hair and took in a deep breath . After smelling her body fragrance, Zhang Tie became reassured physically and mentally at once . He then kissed her tender cheek as he looked straight into Bai Suxian's eyes and said, "I miss you so much . Although we've just departed from each other for half a year, I feel that I've not seen you for a long time . . . "

Zhang Tie indeed had not seen Bai Suxian for a long time because he had stayed in the tower of time for 6 decades . Therefore, Zhang Tie sighed with emotions at this moment .

After sensing Zhang Tie's sentimental deeds to her in the public, Bai Suxian felt warm-hearted at once as she almost turned soft all over . She then whispered to Zhang Tie, "I miss you too . . . "

The two people then looked straight into each other's eyes with a smile . . .
