Chapter 747: 366: Vicious Girl! _2

Haigang said, "The conditions have been laid out, three types of marriage alliances, choose one."

Only the first two could be considered marriage alliances, the third option was simply a direct transaction, where Suo Lun would exchange the annual sum of four to five hundred thousand Gold Coins to secure Haigang’s military support.

After all, Haigang’s deployment wasn’t for Suo Lun’s sake, but to help himself. The Yan Mo was his biggest enemy.

But since the Yan Mo first attacked Suo Lun, Haigang naturally took the opportunity to ask for an exorbitant price.

Suo Lun closed his eyes to think, and after a long time he said, "Thirty percent, that’s the most I can give you of the marine trade proceeds. It’s already an astronomical figure."

Haigang hesitated for less than three seconds before nodding and saying, "Deal!"

Thus, Suo Lun secured Haigang’s troops at the cost of several hundred thousand Gold Coins each year, to join forces in attacking the Yan Mo.

This price was nearly astronomical.

But there was no choice, when one is in need of help, one can’t expect generosity from the other party.

"Deal," Suo Lun said.

Then Suo Lun couldn’t help but speak sarcastically, "Lord Haigang, the first time you did business with Ashi Luo, you didn’t take a penny and even contributed thirty thousand naval forces. The second time with Zhi Li, another ten thousand naval forces. But with me, you’re extorting hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins each year. You really do treat people differently."

Haigang laughed, "There’s no helping it. I’ve made too many losses in business, so I must have a profit somewhere. And I would like to do a losing deal with you too, but you don’t agree."

Suo Lun scoffed coldly and remained silent.

Following that, both parties signed a formal alliance treaty, stamped with the Energy Seal, and signed their names, in triplicate, one copy of which would be sent to the Dragon Temple!

...

After signing the contract, Haigang extended his hand to Suo Lun, "A pleasure doing business, in a month’s time, you and I together, shall defeat the Yan Mo!"

"A pleasure," Suo Lun shook hands with Haigang.

"Summon someone, take Lord Suo Lun to the guest annex to rest," Haigang ordered.

Immediately, four Samurai entered to accompany Suo Lun and his party to the guest annex of the Governor’s Mansion on Yingzhou Island.

"Zhier, you follow too," Haigang suddenly said, "Remember our Yan Tribe’s tradition, if you can’t make a man leave the room with a sore waist and back, it’s a disgrace to the daughters of our Yan Tribe."

At that moment, Haigang once again referred to himself as part of the Yan Tribe.

The fifteen-year-old Hai Zhier’s cheeks turned slightly pale, then she bowed and said, "Yes, Father."

...

The four Samurai led Suo Lun and his companions to the Governor’s Mansion’s guest annex.

There, dozens of servants and maids had been waiting for a long time.

A fragrant bath had been prepared, as well as brand new bedding and clothing.

Once inside the annex, Suo Lun comfortably submerged himself in the large wooden bath, soaking in the warm waters, feeling every pore in his body open up.

It was incredibly comfortable!

Princess Zhen Yan was bathing in another room, while Zhuang Zhixuan remained standing guard outside.

Lying in the bath, Suo Lun closed his eyes to savor the momentary tranquility.

Though he had paid a heavy price, he had finally come to an agreement with the Hai Family.

The Suo Naval Forces, Yingzhou Island Naval Forces, and their pirate allies together amounted to a hundred thousand naval forces, against Yan Mo’s hundred thousand.

Even though Yan Mo commanded seventy thousand Rock Pirates, a formidable force, Suo Lun had gunpowder, Griffin Beasts, and fire oil, so victory in this battle was still possible.

Bastard Yan Mo, rather than living peacefully, you had to meddle with me, causing such a great cost for an unnecessary war.

Just then, Suo Lun felt someone come in, her footsteps silent, but his spiritual power easily detected her.

Opening his eyes, he saw the exquisitely beautiful Hai Zhier, wearing only a thin layer of gauze, with nothing beneath.

She was only sixteen, already nearly one meter seventy in height, her tender body as delicate as snow, graceful as a willow.

"What are you doing here?" Suo Lun asked seriously.

Hai Zhier looked at Suo Lun with an innocent gaze and said, "I’ve come to serve my husband’s bath."

"There’s no need," Suo Lun said, "You’re only sixteen, you shouldn’t have to do this."

Hai Zhier said, "It’s my duty, if nothing happens between us by morning, I will be beaten to death. A girl of the Yan Tribe who’s not even desired by her betrothed has no face to live in this world."

Suo Lun said, "But you’re not of the Yan Tribe."

Hai Zhier said, "Perhaps in the future, I won’t be, but for now, I still am."

Then, Hai Zhier stepped into the bath.

Suddenly, the temperature of the bath seemed to rise considerably, and the enchanting fragrance intensified.

Suo Lun immediately closed his eyes; although Hai Zhier was extremely beautiful, even more so than Yan Mo’s wife Haidei’er, but after all, she was only sixteen, and Suo Lun was not a beast, he would not lay his hands on her.

"Heehee..." Hai Zhier’s exquisite, lovely face drew close to Suo Lun’s and said, "You’re much more handsome and charming than I imagined, and a good person too."

Suo Lun said, "You’ve already served me for the bath, you can go now. I want to lie alone for a while."

"Am I not beautiful enough?" Hai Zhier asked, "Do you look down on me?"

"No, you’re just too young, and I don’t indulge in this kind of trade," Suo Lun said. "If you’re willing, I’ll take you back to Tianshui City; after the battle is over, I’ll give you your freedom."

"Alright, I’m done washing." Suo Lun turned his head aside, ready to get up and leave.
