In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

"No, my wife and I have only been married for six months. How could I possibly take a concubine at this time?"

It was all just to lure out the prince.

Of course, Your Highness need not worry. The Zhang family is not trying to harm you, but rather using this as leverage to conduct a commercial negotiation!

"mean!"

Duan Zhengchun quickly understood Zhang Xiaoshan's purpose, and even the Yellow-Eyebrowed Monk remained silent.

"The business world is like a battlefield; there are no legitimate means to expand your business."

The Zhang family is disciplined in their business dealings, adhering to principles and keeping promises. However, when it comes to expanding their territory, these two qualities are completely useless.

Extraordinary measures are needed for extraordinary events!

"What conditions does the young master require to dissolve the engagement?"

Duan Zhengchun looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and thought that as long as the conditions weren't too harsh, he could agree to them.

First, it was his daughter's weakness; second, he was wary of the Zhang family's ruthless methods, which made them resort to any means to achieve their goals.

If things can be resolved peacefully, there is no need for the two sides to become enemies.

"Firstly, the Zhang family has the right to conduct business in the Dali Kingdom, and they will not miss a single tax payment."

Secondly, the Zhang family needs ten shops in prime locations, to be traded at normal market prices. The Zhang family is not making demands unjustly.

Third, the Zhang family wants three mining rights: two for jade and one for rubies.

The conditions for obtaining mineral resources can be set by the Duan family of Dali. If the Zhang family cannot meet these conditions, then naturally the condition can be cancelled!

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun became serious.

The first two conditions are fine; they can be resolved with just a few words.

But the conditions that followed were that the mineral resources were hard-won by Dali, the Biao Kingdom, and the Baiyue Kingdom. How could the Zhang family just take them away like that!

One mineral deposit is impossible, let alone three, which Zhang Xiaoshan wants.

"The other two conditions are fine, but the conditions regarding minerals require Zhengchun to discuss with the Emperor."

"It's good that we can discuss it. Actually, the Zhang family's conditions are mainly the first two conditions."

The next condition is that the Dali Duan family can propose the terms of the trade, and if the Zhang family feels that they can accept them without losing out, then they will choose to trade.

If the conditions are too stringent, then just pretend there are none!

Chapter 230 Raging Fury Strikes: The Three-Foot Blade's Power

"A heartless bastard! Despicable and shameless! A disgrace to the underworld!"

Inside the Mantuo Villa, shouts and curses could be heard incessantly.

Looking at the marriage agreement before her, Madam Wang really thought that Zhang Xiaoshan had taken a liking to Wang Yuyan, but she didn't expect that it was all a scheme.

If her old flame Duan Zhengchun hadn't come knocking on her door today, she would never have known that Zhang Xiaoshan's schemes were so deep.

How dare he?

One Wang Yuyan can be exchanged for three mineral resources, even if it's an exchange, not a gift.

But Li Qingluo was well aware of the immense profits involved; the Zhang family was taking advantage of her misfortune, and using her and her daughter as bargaining chips.

"A'Luo, this matter has been resolved, and it hasn't spread yet, so Yu Yan hasn't been affected at all!"

"roll!"

Duan Zhengchun tried to step forward and embrace Li Qingluo, but suddenly, a surge of true qi forced him back four or five steps before he stopped.

This incredibly powerful true energy caused even the Yellow-Eyebrowed Monk's expression to change drastically.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly delicate and frail Madam Wang possessed such terrifying strength.

However, it was merely the protective aura of the Lesser Formless Skill. Duan Zhengchun was not injured; instead, he looked at Li Qingluo with disbelief.

In an instant, the true qi surged like a surging river, and Li Qingluo's strength far exceeded his expectations.

"It's all because of you, '963,' you heartless man! You made me feel like an idiot and let people make fun of me!"

Now even your daughter is being used as a bargaining chip in a transaction. An eye for an eye, Duan Zhengchun, all of this is your doing, why should it fall on your daughter?

Looking at Duan Zhengchun, Li Qingluo's previous love instantly turned into intense hatred.

She was already consumed by hatred because of love, and Wang Yuyan's experience reminded her of being abandoned back then. Although it was just an unintentional act by Zhang Xiaoshan, it completely touched the scars in her heart.

Some things are especially vulnerable to comparison.

At this point, her martial arts skills had reached an extremely high level, and her perspective on problems had also changed.

Duan Zhengchun's romantic and refined demeanor attracted the infatuation of countless beauties back then.

However, Duan Zhengchun had no sense of responsibility whatsoever, and in the end he abandoned them one by one instead of making arrangements for his escape.

In the end, Qiao Yacha had no choice but to marry Prince Ma, Zhong Wanchou, and was forced to marry into the Wang family. The man from the Ruan family of Hubei was even expelled from his home…

None of the women fared well.

Moreover, they have been fighting each other relentlessly over the years, battling tooth and nail for an irresponsible man.

Previously, she harbored the idea of ​​mastering martial arts and killing them one by one, so that she could possess one of them alone.

Only then did she realize, was this kind of man worth it?

An irresponsible man, an irresponsible father... a complete scoundrel!

"Ah Luo, it's all my fault!"

Seeing Duan Zhengchun bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Madam Wang shook her head, her eyes filled with a mocking smile.

"Originally, I had mastered martial arts and wanted to find and kill those bastards one by one."

But through this incident with Yu Yan, I've discovered that you're even more shameless than him, and you're not even the same kind of person.

Not only me, but Gan Baobao, Xiu Luo Dao, and the Ruan family have all given birth to daughters for you. The karma you created back then has been reaped through your daughters. How laughable!

"what?"

"Grandma Rui, bring those things here!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

At this moment, Li Qingluo's gaze towards Duan Zhengchun was extremely cold. If she didn't still need Duan Zhengchun to save her daughter, she would have loved to refine Duan Zhengchun's internal energy for her own use, which would be another way of being together.

All the intelligence was obtained by Li Qingluo at great expense.

The one who understands you best is undoubtedly your enemy.

She had previously attacked and hunted down several rivals in love without regard to the cost!

Now that she's strong enough to completely overwhelm them, she's lost interest.

"Baby, Red Cotton, Star Bamboo!"

"That's right, I'll give you all the information about these women. From now on, we're severing all ties. Yu Yan doesn't have a father like you."

At the same time, looking towards Yanziwu, Li Qingluo's murderous aura intensified instantly. She never expected that she had been made a fool of all along.

Immediately, Li Qingluo's figure transformed into a streak of light and flew out of the hall, with Duan Zhengchun and the Yellow-Eyebrow Monk quickly following after her.

They knew that Madam Wang had gone to settle accounts with the Zhang family!

Given Madam Wang's strength, how could she willingly allow herself to be outmaneuvered? Naturally, she would seek revenge.

···

"Shameless scoundrel, die!"

Qin Yun Xiao Zhu (琴韵小筑)

Before the women had even rested, during their bonfire gathering, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.

Zhang Xiaoshan knew that it was Madam Wang who had come to cause trouble. At the same time, he pulled back Huang Rong, who was eager to jump in, and looked at Liu Sheng Piaoxu on the side, asking her to handle the situation.

"What are you going to do? This woman has gone mad."

If you go there, it's like meeting an enemy; they'll be extremely hostile and might even try to take you down with them.

Piaoxu was wearing the Fiery Cloud Battle Armor, and her strength was no less than hers. It would be good to let her vent her anger.

Furthermore, your newly enhanced true qi requires time to adapt, and this woman is a worthy opponent.

"understood!"

Thinking of the crazed Madam Wang, who might even drag her down with her, Huang Rong smiled brightly, though somewhat apprehensive.

Abi, however, had no idea what was going on, but she knew that Madam Wang was going to fight them to the death.

Immediately, a fairy appeared, soaring through the air and rushing towards the scene at an extremely fast speed.

Clang!

Liu Sheng Piaoxu drew his longsword, unleashing a chilling aura that swept across the area.

This was an Iaijutsu slash, the power of which was enough to traverse five zhang in a single strike. Lady Wang performed a pigeon somersault, hastily dodging Liu Sheng Piaoxu's sharp blade aura.

"Step aside!"

Seeing Liu Sheng Piaoxu, Madam Wang did not want to get entangled with him any further.

Just now, from that extremely cold blade aura, Madam Wang knew that Liu Sheng Piaoxu's strength was not much lower than hers.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoshan's playful expression and the way he waved to her caused her to suddenly lose her temper and go berserk.

Her delicate hands moved gracefully, as if plucking a flower, and then the surrounding petals shot out towards the drifting catkins blocking her way!

Fingers!

Not to mention that his finger technique is far inferior to that of Master Mingchen.

Moreover, this is a group attack, not a single petal, so its power is greatly reduced.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan noticed that Madam Wang was holding a flower petal between her jade-like fingers; this was the real killing move!

Amidst the flashing blades, the petals that hurtled through the air were all struck down by the famous swords.

hum!

Suddenly, a whooshing sound pierced the air; Liu Sheng Piaoxu had anticipated this move.

Blade energy crisscrossed, and soft petals burst open in mid-air.

At the same time, Madam Wang held a precious sword and immediately used the Three Deadly Immortal Swords of Mount Hua. With one strike, she created three sword flowers that enveloped Liu Sheng Piaoxu's face and both shoulders before thrusting straight at him.

The sword's shadow flickered unpredictably, its energy poised to strike at the opportune moment, like a venomous snake...

Snow is falling on the earth!

A powerful and vast surge of sword energy transformed into a mighty river, surging forth and rushing towards the attacking Lady Wang.

Sword energy surged, blade energy crisscrossed; the exchange was so intense that not a single frame could be missed.

Bang!

A figure flew backward, but Zhang Xiaoshan was not surprised at all.

Using one's own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths, it would be strange if one could win.

"Aluo!"

"Go away!"

Duan Zhengchun was shocked to see the swords clashing as soon as he arrived, and looked at Li Qingluo with concern.

Unfortunately, Li Qingluo didn't care at all, and instead looked at Liu Sheng Piaoxu with a serious expression.

Despite the blade's immense internal energy failing to harm her, it still caused her to lose by half a move, which made her very uncomfortable.

Despite her self-perceived mastery of martial arts, she was no match for a female warrior beside Zhang Xiaoshan.

"Come again!"

With a leap, Li Qingluo abandoned her sword and used her palms like a dragon drawing water, causing all the surrounding leaves to swirl wildly.

The ultimate martial art of Kongtong Mountain—Boundless Ocean!

The surging true qi condensed into a ball of turbulent and turbulent primordial qi, which was directly pushed out by her jade palm.
