C77 poisons and antidotes (1/2)

”Taking the title of general's daughter, Pan Feng's sister Pan Si, try your best to give birth to a child. The first male child will be made Crown Prince, and he will inherit the title of Li Tangguo Emperor in the future.” Guo Nan said with a smile.

”Coiled silk?”

When the generals of the Guo Family heard this, their expressions became extremely strange. General Pan had a pair of children. The man was shaped like a giant, while the woman was shaped like a moving mountain.

Li Shi and Prince Ji were obviously aware of the situation as well. Their faces were extremely ugly, especially Li Shi, who looked as if he had just eaten a dead fly.

After hearing Guo Nan's suggestion, Guo Ziyi could not help but smile.

”Li Shi, you have to consider this carefully. General Pan's daughter is nineteen, she is not married, and just so happens that you do not have a Queen, allowing Pan Si to be the Queen. The eight provinces of China are yours. If there were no China's eight provinces, how much territory would the Li Family possess north of Chang River? ”

Li Shi remained silent, as if he had lost his parents.

”I'll give you a stick of incense to think about it. It's in the eight provinces of China. Do you want to hear it from me?” General Pan holds a high position in our Guo Family. In the future, we will be friends for generations, but we still need to have some connections through marriage, no? Originally, Princess Changle and I could have gotten married, but that Princess Changle was taken away by the Hall of Souls and I cannot guarantee when we would be able to be saved. Then, the alliance between you and General Pan's daughter will be the bond between our two countries. ”

Guo Nan squinted his eyes, with a hint of threat in his tone. He was saying, if you don't agree, there won't be any in the eight provinces of China. Li Tangguo's area is too small, and if he gets bullied, our Guo Family won't help.

Li Shi's face revealed a fierce expression, and nodded: ”Everything will be as Young Master Nan says. I and Pan Si's child will inherit Li Tangguo's great undertaking!”

He understood in the bottom of his heart that Guo Nan's playful actions were not to restrain Li Tangguo. The power of the Guo Family did not need to care about that at all. What Guo Nan really wanted was to return the favor back to him, the marriage of the Shoe Princess Linglong! Coiled silk was not a broken shoe. Who would like a mountain-like woman who couldn't even marry herself?

After Li Shi finished speaking, he felt discouraged all over and his entire being seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.

As Guo Nan thought about Li Shi's marriage, which was almost as big as him, a sinister smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth. The other higher ups of the Guo Family's army also had expressions that were full of schadenfreude.

General Pan did not attend the meeting, but everyone knew that General Pan would agree to it. General Pan had always been worried about his daughter Pan Yin not marrying out of the family.

If she could marry Li Shi, she would have to give birth to her son and become the crown prince.

After discussing for a while more, they all agreed that the Chang River was the boundary, and the Guo Family was completely separated from Li Tangguo. Li Shi was feeling extremely dejected. It was even worse to marry his than if she were to kill him.

Although it was a discussion, in truth, it was still just Guo Nan alone. Whatever he said, would Li Shi do it?

One month later, Zhao Song, Qingming Kingdom, State of Liao, State of Yan, State of Xia and the other six prefectures in the south of Chang River had settled down. Guo Ziyi announced that they would establish a new nation, called Five Kingdoms.

The surrounding nations came one after another to congratulate Guo Ziyi, trying their best to curry favor with him. Guo Nan was bestowed the title of Marquis Zhao Quang, and the Prince Quang became the Marquis of Quang. He was in charge of the bordering palace in the northern part of the Zhao Song. Around that mansion were all the generals of the Guo Family Army taking command, just in case Zhao Kuang was to bring the Zhao Family clansmen and cause a ruckus.

A few days later, the envoys who had come to congratulate him gradually left, the Five Kingdoms quieted down. Guo Ziyi issued a series of orders: Rewards for farming, prizes for exorcism, and recovery for the people.

Dugu Hong returned to the Tiancheng Empire and agreed to meet with Guo Nan there. Uncle Xiang stayed by Guo Nan's side, acting as his guide and bodyguard.

It was almost time for Tianwu Academy's recruitment season, so Guo Nan packed his luggage and prepared to set off.

The night before they set out, he found Huang Bo.

Huang Bo was a handsome man, leading the troops in battle had some of the feeling Guo Ziyi had back then. If Guo Nan wanted to leave, the person who he was worried about was Huang Bo.

Loyalty or not, determined Huang Bo's fate.
