C643 Another Engagement Paper

After thinking for a long time, Ye Tian raised his head, looked at Old Master Mu, and said seriously: "Old man, thank you for reminding me of this. Originally, I didn't think about so many things in the future. As a result of your reminder, I will face these situations in the future with more and fuller psychological preparedness than I would find unacceptable at once. "

Old Master Mu was obviously very satisfied with his own speculation and analysis. With an alluring smile, he looked at Ye Tian and said, "Then, do you want to settle the matter regarding my grandson and daughter now?"

"This?" Ye Tian scratched his head and said, "Let me think about it."

"Pa", Old Master Mu slapped the armrest of his chair and blew on his beard: "What are you still thinking about, those women will leave you sooner or later. They have a more important mission and a greater responsibility, my grandson and daughter will never leave in the future, she can take care of you for the rest of your life."

Ye Tian was shocked by Old Master Mu, and then said in a daze: "Oh, okay, then I promise you."

Old Master Mu smiled again and pulled out a piece of paper from nowhere. He quickly placed it in front of Ye Tian and said: "Sign it."

Ye Tian stared at the paper on the table and asked: "What is this?"

"The engagement." Old Master Mu stared at Ye Tian, as if he was afraid that Ye Tian would run away.

After a long while, Ye Tian coughed and coughed for a long time. His old face blushed as he looked at the thin piece of paper on the table. He let out a long breath, raised his head and looked at Old Master Mu.

Old Master Mu stared at Ye Tian and asked, "How long do you think I can live?"

Nodding his head, Ye Tian naturally understood Old Master Mu's thoughts.

This old man was practically on his deathbed, his Mu Mansion at such a stage, and actually had strong signs of his family's decline. There weren't many talented people, and it wasn't easy for a woman to come out of it.

Not to mention that aside from her biological parents who had died young, Mu Qingying did not have a group of aides who could help her ascend to the throne. They were aides who held the military power of the entire county in their hands.

The female generals under her command were undoubtedly loyal, but their talents were difficult to convince the masses.

If this carried on, as long as the days went by, if Mu Qingying married someone, then everything would be for someone else. But if Mu Qingying never left her room for the rest of her life, and was a woman, she would sooner or later be ostracized by the new officials sent by Shangjing City.

At this moment, Ye Tian finally understood that Old Master Mu's real opponent was actually the Emperor within the Shangjing City.

Or, sooner or later, the emperor would send in the capital to take over the military and political power of the county. This was the last thing the local military and civil officials wanted to see.

Because of this, Old Master Mu had been finding a backer for Mu Qingying. This backer was not too weak, nor could he be from a local school. This was because there was already no one from the local school, and they had already surpassed Mu Qingying in terms of backing and power. It would be best if they could be high-ranking officials from other places, such as Commander-in-chief from another county, or the Governor, or even high-ranking officials from both the military and political branches of the capital.

As for a man's concubines, Old Master Mu had never cared about them. To him, this was not a problem at all.

For this, Old Master Mu had once filtered out Liaodong, Shannan, Tianxi, Hedong, Jiangnan, Chuanxi, Huodong, Guangnan, Yunxi, together with Li Mu, a total of nine counties, one county, and all the younger military and political leaders.

However, there wasn't a suitable candidate to choose from.

A person of a suitable age would never have a strong background. And those with powerful backgrounds were simply too old. Even if having three wives and four concubines wasn't a problem, Old Master Mu didn't want his own grandson to be a widow.

Just as he was at his wits' end, Ye Tian appeared. Like a bolt of lightning in the dark sky, Old Master Mu saw hope and hope.

Regardless of which aspect he looked at, Ye Tian was the most suitable person.

Needless to say, behind Ye Tian was the emperor. With military power, not to mention the Armored Corps that Old Master Mu still didn't understand, just the combination of the seven great Legions of high-level mages and warriors was enough to become a luxurious dream combination on the entire continent.

At the same time, what made Old Master Mu even more determined was Ye Tian's character. It was easy to be amiable without any official attitude. In front of Mu Qingying, he even bowed his head to her, which made Old Master Mu, who loved his darling granddaughter dearly, extremely satisfied.

Which elder didn't want their daughter to find a man who cared for her.

Therefore, the first time Ye Tian appeared in Xitong Pass, Old Master Mu started to plan how to let Ye Tian walk into the marriage contract step by step.

When he looked up again at Old Master Mu's pleading face, he could faintly feel a domineering aura that could not be refused, and also a little tenacity that would not let him go until he achieve his goal. Finally, Ye Tian let out a long sigh and said, "Alright, Old Master, I promise you, regardless of whether I fulfill this marriage contract or not in the future, I, Ye Tian, will protect the Mu Family's position and power in Sichuan. This vow will never be broken in my life."

Old Master Mu chuckled and pushed the marriage contract on the table forward. He said, "A empty mouth is no use, just speaking is not enough. You have to sign this marriage contract, so I can be at ease."

Ye Tian gritted his teeth as he knew that he wouldn't be able to escape this calamity today. Ye Tian knew Old Master Mu's plan very well. After signing the marriage, Mu Qingying would be a member of his Ye Family from then on. The rise and fall of Mu Mansion would naturally become Ye Tian's own family business.0

If he had the western Sichuan County as his rear, even if Ye Tian was far away in Shangjing City, it would be equivalent to having an additional military and political force that could be used by him at any time. With such a background, when he fought with others in the political arena in the future, he would naturally have an extremely important bargaining chip.

The road ahead was still unclear. Even though Ye Tian's identity as Prince Consort was clear, Qin Ruhua and Lin Chengzhou also gave Ye Tian full trust. The two of them had already made it clear that they wanted to get close to Ye Tian. However, who knew if another political enemy would emerge tomorrow? It was hard to say.

In Shangjing City, regardless of which side's general or high ranking official it was, if they could have the power and background of a county or province, then their fighting prowess would undoubtedly be increased by quite a bit.

Thinking about this, Ye Tian finally nodded with difficulty and said: "Ok."

He stretched out his hand and picked up the pen Old Master Mu handed over. Ye Tian slowly signed his name at the bottom of the marriage contract.

The marriage contract was signed twice, so Ye Tian signed his name twice.

After signing, Old Master Mu pushed another stage over. Ye Tian once again stuck out his thumb and pressed red mud on the stage. Then, he pressed two handprints on the two words "Ye Tian" on the two marriage contracts.

Old Master Mu stared at Ye Tian's hands until Wu Tie pressed down the bright red handprint. Then, he stretched out his hands with a beaming smile and took the two engagements.

While chuckling, Old Master Mu looked at the name and the handprint on the engagement with satisfaction. He said: "When we get back, I'll get Ying'er to sign it too and press the handprint. This marriage will officially take effect."

Only then did Ye Tian realize that Mu Qingying had not signed the marriage contract. It was hard to say whether that girl was willing or not.

All of a sudden, Ye Tian had the feeling of sneaking into a trap that Old Master Mu had meticulously weaved.

With his mouth half open, Ye Tian looked at Old Master Mu who had an excited expression and couldn't say anything for a long time.

At this moment, Old Master Mu heavily patted the armrest of his chair again. Then, he walked up to Ye Tian and said in a low voice with a face full of excitement: "It's better to choose the next day than the next day. Let's set it for tonight."

Ye Tian was stunned and asked: "What are we going to do tonight?"

"Enter the bridal room." Old Master Mu's eyes lit up as he said: "That girl has a stubborn temper. When the time comes, I'll trick her into the house. You can't be too lenient. If your hands soften, she'll definitely run away."

Ye Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry and helplessly said: "Old man, how can you be a grandpa like this? Are you in such a hurry to push your grandson and daughter into a fire pit? What's more, she hasn't even signed the marriage contract yet, and there's not even a single word of it. It seems that you're in quite a hurry. "

Old Master Mu stared and blew his beard as he said: "Nonsense, I'm not pushing her into a pit of fire, I'm pushing her into a jar of honey. Right now, she does not know. She will definitely continue to persevere with her personality, but in the future, she will definitely understand my painstaking efforts. Sooner or later, she will understand. "

This time, Ye Tian decided not to give in, he stood up, spread out his hands and said: "Old Gramps, I'm afraid it's not possible tonight, I have to return to the Xitong Pass as soon as possible. There's still the million strong alliance army and the two hundred and fifteen thousand Devil Beast outside, it's not a joke."

Old Master Mu stretched out his hand and pressed Ye Tian back into his chair, then said: "Just one night, stay in Mu Mansion for one more night. "Don't forget, you've already agreed to the marriage, but Ying'er hasn't signed it yet. No matter what, you have to wait for Ying'er to sign the marriage contract. Leave a copy for each of you to finish."

At this point, Old Master Mu walked up to Ye Tian and said with a serious face, "Stopping halfway and returning empty-handed isn't your style of doing things, is it?"

Ye Tian was stunned on the chair again and couldn't say anything for a long time.

Then, he picked up the teapot on the table, poured two full bowls of tea, passed one bowl to Ye Tian and also picked up the bowl himself, saying, "Come, Manager Ye, let's celebrate our marriage. I'll use tea in place of wine, we'll do it."

Ye Tian hurriedly took the tea bowl and clinked it with Old Master Mu. Then, he drank all the tea in the bowl in one gulp.

Honestly speaking, Ye Tian was not in a hurry to regain his Xitong Pass. After all, the West Continent Coalition Forces had already entered into a strategic defensive state, and the three layers of defense had already been set up.

At this time, the allied army was completely consolidating the fruits of their battle with East Continent, pushing the battle to the eastern border of Eli Empire. According to Ye Tian's judgement, at least for a long period of time, the allied forces would neither attack nor retreat. This was because within the Xitong Pass, there were tens of thousands of armor-type vehicles, and on top of the walls, there were hundreds of magic defense towers.
