After thinking for a moment, Gui Ning walked to Xue Duan's side and asked, "Young Master Xue, since we are engaged, we have the name of husband and wife. Can you tell me the truth? Do you have the heart to be the emperor?"
Xue Duan regretted his words. Some words could not be spoken so simply. Once they were spoken, it would be impossible to take them back. If something happened in the future, both sides would be responsible for it. The question that Gui Ning asked was already considered an outrageous one.
When Xue Duan heard this, he cast a meaningful glance at Gui Ning. He pulled her hands and arrogantly asked her, "Could it be that Miss Gui Ning only wants to be the owner of the rouge button and doesn't want to be the owner of this world?"
Gui Ning looked at Xue Duan and nodded. "Young Master Xue, since you and I have already spoken, how about we go back and get married after we finish our business in Shattered Leaf City?"
Now, neither the imperial government nor the martial arts world was at peace. The chain reaction that resulted from this was that business was hard, and business was even harder.
In this vile feudal society, the ranking between jobs was originally a place for warriors, peasants, workers, and merchants. Merchants, in the eyes of the world, were the lowest kind of people, the scoundrels who ate people without spitting out their bones.
Only the people of the dynasty and the sects that had connections with the merchants knew how difficult it was to become a merchant, but how important it was.
For example, in a war, ordinary people could not afford to spend their money to survive. Even some armies of the imperial court lacked money and food. However, this sort of situation rarely happened to those wealthy merchants and giants.
Because they had money and hoarded a lot of food. In the midst of war, whoever had the money and food, could find troops and horses, and could rule the entire world.
Therefore, although merchants were ranked last, the upper echelons of the Great Yu Dynasty would never suppress the wealthy merchants and elites within the dynasty. This was because all the emperors knew that they had to rely on these people to maintain their own businesses in times of danger.
Although the emperor was not embarrassed, it did not mean that the officials were not troubled. There were too many people from top to bottom who wanted to do business well and do things in the long run. If you don't invest a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, you won't be able to do business in the long run.
There were county officials, province officials, and countless other officials in the capital. You can't avoid worshipping any temple.
The current atmosphere in the imperial court was extravagant to begin with. Even those who joined the army rarely had hard bones. It was even harder to point at those officials who were making ink and dance.
In the past few years, she had already seen through the darkness of the government. She had personally witnessed too many transactions involving money and authority and had thought that she would be numb to them since long ago. However, after hearing Xue Duan say that she wanted to change this situation, she became excited.
As the head of the Gui Family's business, she should make plans for the future of the Gui Family's business. Merely relying on the Tong Bai Army was far from enough. It would be better to use her family's financial resources and sources of information to support Xue Duan and become the Lord of the world. At that time, she, Gui Ning, would be the queen of the world.
At that time, she would no longer have to care about others' faces or worry about her family's business being sealed. At that time, she would no longer have to run around like this due to some matter.
When Xue Duan heard Gui Ning mention that she wanted to marry him, he immediately replied, "It's exactly what Xue Duan wants!"
Hearing Xue Duan's words, Gui Ning crawled into his arms like a little woman. Xue Duan did not mention it again. He held onto Gui Ning with both hands and continued to warm her up for a short period of time.
After the warmth was gone, Gui Ning left Xue Duan's chest and asked, "Since you're the most magnanimous person, then you should recruit more talents. Yang Muyun is a very talented person, why would you object to me recruiting him to be in charge of the Heaven's Net?"
When Xue Duan heard this, he explained, "Miss, I don't object to you recruiting Xue Duan. What I object to is that you hand over the Heaven's Net Organisation to him to be in charge. Otherwise, if there is an accident when you need it the most, then there will definitely be a loss, and it will be a complete loss. The Heaven's Net Organisation is very important to us in terms of achieving great things, so the Heaven's Net Organisation can only firmly control it in our hands, and must not hand it over to any outsiders. "
After knowing the reason, Gui Ning nodded her head and thought to herself, "Looks like the Tong Bai Army already had the ambition to rule the entire world. Otherwise, Xue Duan wouldn't have thought through the situation regarding the Heaven's Net in such a short amount of time."
Following that, Gui Ning asked Xue Xianyan, "Young Master Xue, but I've already made a promise to Yang Muyun just now. If he chooses to join my rouge after taking revenge for killing my father, I can't go back on my word, can I?"
Xue Duan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own ways of making him join my Tong Bai Army and compete with me in this world. As long as he doesn't join rouge, you don't need to hand over the Heaven's Net Organization to him, do you?"
When Gui Ning heard this, she helplessly said, "Young Master Xue, it can't be that you wanted to recruit Yang Muyun into the Tong Bai Army so you could tell me what happened just now?"
"Of course not, Miss. Just now, everything that I said were the thoughts in my heart. I absolutely did not lie to Miss. In other words, no matter if it's Yang Muyun joining the rouge buttonhole or the Tong Bai Army, they're still our people! "
Hearing Gui Ning's questioning, Xue Duan hurriedly explained.
Gui Ning knew that Xue Duan wouldn't lie to her, so she said, "Then I'll just wait quietly for my husband to accomplish something great."
As she spoke, she bowed deeply to Xue Duan.
Xue Duan smiled and said, "I've made myself clear. Now, I should go to the backyard and discuss with Yang Muyun how to strangle Cui Bong tonight."
Gui Ning did not say anything. After seeing Xue Duan leave, she called Little Four into the house.
"Patriarch, what orders do you have?" Xiao Si bowed to Gui Ning and asked.
"Send orders and find out how many troops the Tong Bai Army has right now. Also, prepare a copy of all the information on the high-ranked military generals of the Great Yu Dynasty. When I return to the capital, I'll have a look!" Gui Ning instructed Little Four seriously.
Hearing this, Little Four bowed, "Yes, Patriarch!"
With that, Little Four walked out of Gui Ning's room. In the empty room, the only person left was Gui Ning, who was thinking about her future.
In the eyes of outsiders, Gui Ning was merely the head of the family, a woman of incomparable weakness. But who would have known that in the eyes of others, she was the sole leader of Heaven's Net Organisation?
The Patriarch of the Gui family came to his senses after the calamity thirty years ago. A force like Waving Slowly could only be firmly controlled by his own family. No one else could control the Waving Slowly, including the members of the Tong Bai Army.
