Chapter 204: Investing in Yizhangqing
The seven generals and eight tigers of the Yang family.

Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang also got married very early, but no trace of their descendants can be found.

Especially Yang Dalang, he was about 40 years old in the Battle of Jinshatan. Later, in the Twelve Widows Expedition to the West, his wife and the wives of Erlang and Sanlang also went to the battlefield one after another. Their sisters Yang Bajie and Yang Jiumei also joined them. Even Yang Zongbao's wife Mu Guiying and Yang Zongying's wife and Yang Zongmian's wife came to follow the army.

However, there are no descendants of Dalang, Erlang and Sanlang, which means that they did not leave any children.

Yang Wulang became a monk and Yang Balang died young, so they had no descendants.

Yang Qilang's son Yang Zongying died in the Bronze Light Formation. His hasty marriage and early death also left Yang Qilang without descendants.

Yang Liulang's descendants have been passed down from generation to generation. From Yang Zongbao to Yang Wenguang and Yang Huaiyu, they are all his descendants. Yang Zaixing is Yang Liulang's great-great-grandson.

As for Yang Zhi, he always said that he was a descendant of Yang Laolinggong, but never said which lineage he was from.

Because of what?
Because he is the descendant of Yang Silang Yang Yanhui.

Yang Yanhui had a huge stain. In the Battle of Jinshatan, Yang Silang was captured and became the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom.

The people of the Song Dynasty believed that Yang Silang's surrender to the enemy insulted the reputation of the loyal and brave Yang family. He not only betrayed his ancestors but also the court. Most of the people of the Liao Dynasty also looked down on Yang Silang, thinking that he was a spineless man.

In fact, Yang Silang did not betray the Song court. He chose to endure hardships and serve as an insider for the Song army. For 18 years, he helped the army pass messages from both inside and outside, and saved countless Song soldiers from the hands of the Khitans.

It was precisely because of his existence that a lot of bloodshed was avoided between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom.

However, not all people could understand his efforts. Even when Yang Silang returned to Tianbo Mansion to live in the later period, he was still under tremendous pressure.

Yang Zhi is from the same lineage as Yang Silang.

Up to now, the Yang family has been ruined, and the members have gone their separate ways, scattered all over the world.

Yang Zhi was naturally stumped by Cao Jie's question. He scratched his head and said, "If you are interested in Yang Zaixing, I will go and find out about the descendants of the Sixth Patriarch. I will give you an answer in a month or ten days at most."

Although the Yang family is impoverished, they still have some connections, especially Liu Lang's lineage, which is easy to find out.

With Li Ying's help, Dulonggang soon calmed down, but Cao Jie's heart became restless.

At the Zhu family's ancestral home, Cao Jie began to reward himself.

Hu Sanniang is a virgin after all. Although she has a generous personality, she cannot withstand Cao Jie's aggressive gaze!
"As a child of Jianghu, there is no need to be bound by those red tapes. If you are willing, I will propose to your father tomorrow."

"If I say I don't want to now, will you let me go?"

"Of course not..."

Cao Jie gently slapped Hu Sanniang on her plump buttocks.

"oops!"

Hu Sanniang suddenly felt sore and weak all over, as if her acupoints had been pressed.

Cao Jie quickly held his waist and moved over.

"Don't... tomorrow... tomorrow..."

Cao Jie took a deep breath of the faint fragrance and said, "Then I will go to propose marriage today, and in the evening..."

Hu Sanniang stamped her feet fiercely, finally summoning up the strength to flee from the Zhu family's ancestral home. At dawn the next day, Cao Jie selected a bunch of antiques and calligraphy and paintings from the Zhu family, and loaded a load of silver, which was covered with silk and satin. Accompanied by Li Ying and a group of brothers, he swaggered to Hujia Village.

"Flying Tiger" Hu Cheng was naturally excited and enthusiastic.

Even though the father-in-law, Hu Taigong, looked a little unhappy, he could not stand the rebellion of his son and daughter, so he went out to greet them in person.

Li Ying was of the same generation as Hu Taigong, and he immediately congratulated him, "Since ancient times, beauties have always been paired with heroes. Brother Hu, Sanniang has a good eye. Little Mengde is indeed a top-notch hero today. This is a perfect match! Why are you looking so miserable?"

"Ugh!"

Hu Taigong felt completely ashamed. He looked around and saw that everyone around him was either Cao Jie's brothers or Li's family members, and they were even mingling with his own son.

He wanted to ask his daughter again. If she agreed, she would really become his concubine.

When he turned around, he saw Hu Sanniang leaning against the door, looking back, her face as red as a peach. There was no trace of her former heroic demeanor, only the look of a little girl.

What else is there to say? His heart sank to the bottom. He forced a smile and reached out to grab Cao Jie's hand and said:
"My dear son-in-law, my daughter has been lively and active since she was young. She is very good at wielding swords and guns, but when it comes to taking care of people, she is completely clueless! If she cannot take care of my husband and children in the future, I hope my dear son-in-law will bear with me."

Cao Jie also held onto Hu Taigong's hands and said sincerely, "Father, I like Sanniang's free and easy personality. If we have children in the future, I will hire a nanny to take care of them and a famous teacher to teach them. Sanniang loves to wield swords and guns, so what if she wields swords and guns for the rest of her life? I will never let her suffer any grievances around me."

When Hu Taigong heard that he spoke with sincerity, the smile on his face became seven points more genuine.

Upon learning that Cao Jie had no parents, Hu Taigong ordered a grand banquet. Although she was to be a concubine, he still took out 20,000 taels of gold and silver as a dowry for his daughter.

Although there are not so many red tapes among the people of Jianghu, Hujia Village is still bustling.

In addition, it was the New Year's Eve, and the Zhu family was wiped out. The Hu family also became the leaders of Dulonggang, so it was natural to celebrate.

Countless farmhands were busy, and within two hours, the farm was decorated with red and colorful decorations, and it was full of joy. They slaughtered pigs and sheep, and set up countless banquets.

Villagers from all over Dulonggang and even Zhujiazhuang came to give gifts and ask for a glass of wedding wine.

Cao Jie couldn't help but drink a few more cups, and waited until the sun went down before he staggered into the bridal chamber amid the noise of his brothers.

I saw that it was originally Hu Sanniang's boudoir, now decorated as a bridal chamber. Red candles were burning brightly, and the light made the beauty look like jade.

Cao the thief lifted the red veil and looked at the graceful figure and flawless face. He was mesmerized. He was not drunk at all. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. Come, drink a cup of wedding wine with me, and then we can rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jie's eyes flashed, and he saw Hu Sanniang suddenly stand up, reaching her hand under her red skirt, and the Sun and Moon Swords were already in her hands, pressing in front of Cao Jie.

"Good brother, defeat Sanniang first and then I'll talk!"

"when!"

Cao Jie was quick-witted and snatched the Sun and Moon swords and threw them on the table.

"what!"

Feeling that a certain part of her body was being grasped, Hu Sanniang blushed, forced herself to take a deep breath, and tried to poke Cao Jie's pig's hoof with her backhand. Unexpectedly, Cao Jie's right hand slid down, and his finger force was exerted on the life and death orifice. Hu Sanniang felt her spine go numb, and her legs suddenly went limp.

"Sanniang, your skills are still immature in front of me, your brother!"

Cao Jie was familiar with the place. He picked up Hu Sanniang and threw her on the bed.

Then I stepped forward and successfully invested!
