Xie Yuan was stunned by Ye Anlan's words.

He thought for a moment, "I never thought about what I like. After all, we only met a few times when we were young. The only thing I can be sure of now is that at least I don't hate her. If she can tell clearly and fulfill her duties as a first wife in the future, I will also give her the honor and respect she deserves."

Ye Anlan wanted to speak but stopped.

She wanted to say that this was wrong. How could a couple have only "duty" and "respect"? But thinking about the reality in ancient times, Ye Anlan couldn't force his point of view to Xie Yuan and forced him to accept it.

Xie Yuan seemed to have seen through Ye Anlan's true thoughts, and he was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that you, junior sister, have such a naive side."

Although Ye Anlan is indeed a real "little girl who loves fantasy" in terms of age alone, she commands a rebel army and lives in the three counties. How can she compare with other little girls who only have the idea of ​​"marrying a son-in-law to ride a dragon"?

Xie Yuan originally thought that Ye Anlan's view on marriage should be like him, like most of the most ambitious men in this world, but Ye Anlan was still fantasizing about knowing each other with his husband and being in love┓(′?`)┏

Ye Anlan was speechless. It was so normal for him to want a partner who was like-minded and in love with him. How could this be called "naive"?

She hopes that she can be calm and strong, brave and fearless, and hopes that no matter what kind of world she is in, she can firmly grasp her destiny through her own efforts, rather than being knocked to the ground by the waves of the times, and from then on she can only struggle in despair and live in vain.

But at the same time, she also longs for someone to fight side by side with her, to allow her to give all her trust, to understand each other and to communicate with each other.

This "someone" can be a relative, friend, or naturally a lover or husband.

Although she will not force, will not settle, and will not deliberately search, this does not prevent her from having expectations, right?

After all, expectation will not prevent her from standing firmly in this world with her own feet, nor will it prevent her from working hard to become her own sun and illuminating the way forward with her own light.

But... the problem is, Li Jing, he is also a real pure ancient, ε=(′ο｀*))) Alas!

She took a deep breath and silently mourned her poor love that was about to end before it even started. "Whatever you think, anyway, I don't agree with you selling yourself to someone else's son-in-law for the so-called interests and alliances. This is not fair to you and that girl."

Xie Yuan:... Suddenly I felt someone stabbed in the chest_(:з」∠)_

He rubbed his face and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. My wedding date has been finalized. You can't let me regret the marriage now, right?"

If you regret the marriage, it doesn't matter to Xie Yuan, a big man. The girl who regretted the marriage will probably be very sad in the future.

Ye Anlan could still figure out the debt. When she heard Xie Yuan say this, she immediately overturned the preface and slapped herself, "You are right. You should be trustworthy in your life. In fact, a marriage that is of equal status is also very good!"

Li Jing endured the laughter and his shoulders were trembling, while Xie Yuan was so angry that he almost turned over the table (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

He understood that his junior sister was always trying to stand up for his future wife from beginning to end, instead of taking his own mind to consider him from his standpoint_(:з」∠)_

He rubbed his eyebrows and explained to Ye Anlan helplessly, "Don't worry, although we are husband and wife for profit, as long as we go to the church and get married, she will be the wife of me, Xie Yuanming. As long as she does not let me down, I will definitely protect her from beginning to end in my life."

After all, his elder brother was able to use the marriage to gather his ideas that Xie Yuan used for his own sake. If his future wife was determined to be inclined to her parents' home, he would probably be difficult for her to be consistent.

On the contrary, if his future wife could put her position in the right place and find a suitable balance between her husband's family and her parents' family, Xie Yuan naturally would not do anything bad to her.

He did not have his uncle's ambition to annex the other party through his marriage and formed an alliance with the other party, just to gain a strong ally for himself through this marriage before his strength grew to a certain extent, and to watch over and support each other in the next few years.

Xie Yuan probably told Ye Anlan about his sphere of influence and his uncle.

According to him, his uncle's sphere of influence is in the area of ​​Weifang north of Mengshan, while his sphere of influence is in Tancheng and Lianyungang, not far from his hometown of Jinling.

The two formed an alliance and agreed to move westward at the same time, of course, in an ideal state where everything was as they expected and no changes occurred.

Ye Anlan listened for a long time, "Your territory is much smaller than your uncle's?"

Xie Yuan: "...yes."

He wanted to say, in fact, you really don’t have to be so blunt, you always stung my heart_(:з」∠)_

But before he could complain about Ye Anlan, Ye Anlan asked him again, "How much is it missing?"

"Two counties. After taking Lanling County, if I can take down two more county towns, our sphere of influence will be almost the same."

"Then I'll help you." She just happened to have not returned the favor of giving him martial arts secrets.

Xie Yuan was surprised, "Aren't you afraid that my strength will increase greatly. Will you threaten you in the future?"

Ye Anlan was very surprised, "I don't compete with you for the world, why am I afraid?"

Xie Yuan: "......This is the second time you said this? You just said it too. If you don't plan to expand outward, you just want to be in a place and seek a sense of peace and stability."

Ye Anlan nodded, "That's right. So don't have too much hope for the transaction with us Mengshan. I don't need too many weapons, armor and war horses. As for other things, salt, cloth, tools, daily necessities, I can produce and sell them myself."

Xie Yuan:!!!

He stood up and said, "You can make salt? Do you have a salt field?"

Ye Anlan leaned back slightly, "It's just a small salt farm, and the annual salt production is very limited. With those three counties, my salt farm will probably only barely supply the daily salt used by the people of the three counties."

Xie Yuan:-_-||He also wanted to buy salt from this person, but this person actually broke his fantasy in just one sentence.

"But I can sell you the salt-making method."

Xie Yuan:!!!"Are you serious?"

"Natural." Ye Anlan still has a good impression of Xie Yuan. Although she will not rashly take sides when the situation is unclear, it is still okay to give up some things and invest in potential stocks she is optimistic about.

She pondered for a moment, "Let me do this, give me five hundred war horses of quality, and I will give you all the recipes for making coarse salt and refined salt."
