Chapter 144: Intrigue III

Just when Li Qiande was about to implement the third step of his plan, Ma Lanlan suddenly returned to Jiading.

She said to Yang Zhan: "After staying in the mountains for a long time, I began to miss the lively life again. From now on, leave all your banquets to me. I will also organize the hunting activities. With me as your right-hand man, Just worry about national affairs."

Yang Zhan was overjoyed, "Really? If you had done this, my hair would not have turned gray."

Lan Lan looked at his temples with distress. Fortunately, they were only a few hairs gray. Logically speaking, martial arts practitioners would not have gray hairs at the age of forty-five.

Lan Lan asked Wu Dading to help her organize the first hunting event because she chose the location in Qingshen territory.

She discussed all the details with Wu Dading, including who to choose, what kind of bows and arrows and firecrackers to prepare, how many teams to form, how many hounds and falcons to draw, where to set up camp, etc.

Since Wu Dading led his team to Qingshen, he no longer has to worry about food and drink, and everyone is fat and strong. However, after not being in battle for a long time, his spirit is a little sluggish.

Even though it's just a hunting activity now, I still have a chance to show off my skills.

Wu Dading was beaming with joy when he saw the large and small soldiers, and the barriers in his chest were quietly melting away.

Lan Lan said "Second Brother" to the left and "Second Brother" again, as if he was his biological brother.

Wu Dading led Lan Lan to survey the terrain, and Lan Lan pointed to different terrains to discuss troop formations with him. Wu Dading all answered, and Lan Lan was full of praise.

Then, she changed the subject, "If you defend me and I attack, do you know what I will do?"

Wu Dading knew that she had guarded Guangyuan and Xuzhou, so he asked his wife for advice.

Lan Lan deduced them one by one for him, and Wu Dading broke into a cold sweat. Lan Lan said again: "If I defend and you attack, do you know what I will do?"

Oh my god, where is this woman? This is obviously the God of War! Whether it is defensive or offensive, it can also evolve into more than a dozen formations.

After talking about arranging the troops, he talked about martial arts again. Lan Land said: "I have nothing to do today. Do you dare to have a martial arts competition with me for entertainment?"

Dading said: "How dare I offend Mrs. Sister-in-law?"

Lan Lan smiled and said: "Then you and my girl Su Zhi have a competition."

Su Zhi was collected by Lan Lan when she was guarding Xuzhou. She was born into a poor man, had a big appetite and was very strong. She carried a big bow on her back and her quiver was always full of arrows.

Wu Dading smiled shyly: "A good man doesn't fight with women!"

Lan Lan laughed loudly: "I am a very powerful girl, but I'm afraid you can't compare to her. If you can't compare to her, I will make her your wife!"

During Wu Dading's life as a soldier, he married two wives, but unfortunately they died in wars one after another. Firstly, Fulanlan was embarrassed, and secondly, she was also very curious about how powerful this woman was.

He asked: "How to compare?"

Lan Lan took the red flag from the hands of the soldiers and gave it to Wu Dading, and took the green flag to Su Zhi. She pointed to a mountain in the distance and said: "Whoever goes up to the top of the mountain first and plants the flag will be considered the winner. The rest will not win. There are no restrictions, which means you can start fighting now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Zhi seemed to have received the command to charge and rode away. Dading was stunned for a moment and chased after her.

Suzhi turned around frequently and pulled the bow string, which was actually a fake move to scare her, but Dading was afraid that she was serious, so he dodged and fell more than ten feet away.

Dading became anxious and shot an arrow at Suzhi's horse. The horse staggered and threw Suzhi away.

The good Suzhi put her feet on the ground and without waiting for breath, she flew up to a big tree on the side of the road. When Dading's horse passed by, she jumped on it.

The two got into a ball on the horse, and because of the difference between men and women, they quickly rolled to the ground.

Now there is only one horse, whoever fights for it will win.

Dading didn't expect a woman to be so strong. If Suzhi hadn't been shy, she would have thrown him to the ground.

Dading had an idea and grabbed her chest. Suzhi's face turned red, Dading jumped on his horse and ran away quickly.

Suzhi did not give up, and ran as fast as she could until she reached the foot of the mountain. The red flag of Dading was already fluttering in the wind.

Su Zhi was furious, picked up her bow and arrow, and shot an arrow to break the flagpole. Dading picked up the red flag and was about to insert it again when Su Zhi was already on the top of the mountain. They both pulled out their swords and fought together.

The only sounds on the quiet mountain top were the fierce sound of swords and the heavy breathing of the two men.

Lan Lan had been here a long time ago and was watching their fight with great interest.

Wu Dading was the first to take it too much and fell to the ground. Su Zhi didn't have time to sheath her sword and stabbed him.

Lan Lan quickly took action, picked up a stone and knocked her sword to the ground.

After taking a breath, Wu Dading turned over and jumped up, saluted Su Zhi and said: "The heroine is so powerful, Dading is willing to be defeated!"

Su Zhi blushed and left.

Lan Land said: "I set the rules. Whoever puts up the red flag first wins. Of course, the second brother wins. Why are you so polite?"

Suzhi shouted unconvinced: "Madam!"

Lan Lan scolded: "Everyone is as messy as you, how can there be a fair game in this world?"

Then, she smiled and said to Wu Dading: "Since I have promised you that if you win, Suzhi will be betrothed to you, then it's settled like this?"

Wu Dading also blushed and said coyly: "It's all up to my wife to make the decision."

Lan Lan high-fived and said with a smile: "Today is such a good day. My second brother is having a happy event. Why don't you treat me to a drink?"

Wu Dading found a mountain home, cooked food and wine, and drank happily with Lanlan and Suzhi.

After drinking, he saw Su Zhi's appearance clearly. It turned out that she was still a beauty waiting to bloom. Unconsciously, he was so happy that he completely forgot about all the unhappiness he had experienced in the past few months.

When the hunting activity officially started, Li Qiande and Yuan Tao also came. Seeing the familiarity between Wu Dading and Ma Lanlan, Yuan Tao was a little jealous.

At the banquet at noon, he joked: "When did my second brother get the favor of my wife?"

Wu Dading said happily: "Guess!"

No need to guess, Ma Lanlan quickly announced in public: "I have a happy news to tell everyone. I have betrothed my sister Suzhi to my second brother, and we are scheduled to marry her at the beginning of next month."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, some were sincerely happy for both parties, some were sour and jealous, and some like Li Qiande gasped.

Yang Zhan took the lead and raised his glass to congratulate: "Second brother, congratulations! Your sister-in-law should have been worrying about your life-long events, haha..."

Yuan Tao was also really happy and joked: "When will Madam-in-law help me find one?"

Lan Lan pretended not to hear and dragged Jing Xin to congratulate Dading. She said loudly: "Jing Xin, when you have nothing to do, come to Qingshen to teach your second uncle. He is an expert in arranging troops and formations.

"

Then, she handed Jing Xin's hand into Dading's and said, "Second brother, your eldest brother is usually too busy. Please help me teach Jing Xin!"

Jing Xin also saluted respectfully: "Thank you, uncle!"

Wu Dingben was a person who was not good at words. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Li Qiande stepped forward to congratulate him, but his words showed frustration.

Jian Kuan quietly teased Lan Lan: "You have a second brother, have you forgotten that you have a junior brother?"
