I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

Chapter 27 The decision of the head of the Shifangchuan family (Please collect and support~!)

Xianjin Station, on the top floor of the castle tower, between the castle lords.

There is no doubt that those who are allowed to enter here by the head of the Sifangchuan family are either core senior executives of Xianjinyi or very important guests, or simply Miss Changpu of Sifangchuan, who are the ones who can step into the important areas.

Now Li Mo has directly commanded the new army of Xianjin Station, captured the port and successfully cleared the area around Xianjin Station. Even the catastrophic disaster brought by [Juncheng] in the original plot where all the passengers turned into Kabane was eliminated. It is no exaggeration to say that the strength and prestige he now possesses in Xianjin Station is enough to threaten the Shifangchuan family. Naturally, he is qualified to be invited to the castle lord of the castle tower and have a fair negotiation with the head of the Shifangchuan family.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have to worry about whether a Hongmen Banquet was being staged. However, Li Mo, who had the advantage in intelligence, knew that there were no ambushes on the side of the castle tower. As for tricks like poisoning, Li Mo was not afraid of such tricks. When he heard that the head of the Sifangchuan family had invited him to discuss important matters, he did not hesitate to take ten guards and stepped into the room of the castle lord of the castle tower.

However, Li Mo did not expect that the Hongmen Banquet or ultimatum he had anticipated was not the original intention of the head of the Sifangchuan family. The other party came to him to discuss important matters, which really concerned the future development of Xianjinyi!

"Mr. Mo, it's been a long time. We haven't seen each other for more than a month, right?"

When Li Mo stepped into the city lord's room, he found that in the seemingly empty room, the head of the Sifangchuan family was standing with his back to the gate and his hands behind his back. He was admiring the bustling castle town of Xianjinyi outside and the large golden rice fields that were being harvested. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Li Mo with an expression that showed both admiration and sighing.

"Lord City Lord, it has indeed taken more than a month..."

Li Mo nodded in agreement with the words of the Sifangchuan family head. Although his words seemed polite, he put himself in an equal or even higher position than the other party. That attitude of equality made the Sifangchuan family head frown and then calm down.

Indeed, the head of the Sifangchuan family had to admit that the current Li Mo was no longer a person he could control at will. Not only did he control the new army of Xianjinyi and had a high prestige, but it was also said that he could treat people bitten by Kabane. In the doomsday context of the rampant Kabane, Li Mo could be said to be in a situation where he was in a difficult position. If he rashly held a Hongmen Banquet, the consequences would be extremely serious, and even lead to the destruction of the Sifangchuan family. That was why he was ready to find Li Mo to solve this problem.

Li Mo was also very clear about this problem, but he didn't know what the head of the Sifangchuan family was going to do. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that the other party did not intend to use physical removal to deal with him...

"Mr. Mo, the current changes in Xianjinyi are indeed very dependent on your strength..."

Looking at Li Mo's imposing expression, and thinking of how he had been rescued by his group a few months ago and behaved submissively, the head of the Sifangchuan family sighed sincerely, and then he straightened his face and stated his negotiation conditions: "So, I plan to betroth my only daughter, Acorus, to you, and a boy born from you and Acorus will inherit the name and territory of the Sifangchuan family. What do you think?"

？ ！！

After hearing the words of the head of the Sifangchuan family, Li Mo didn't react for a while. When he understood the meaning of the other party's words, his expression seemed a little strange, but he was analyzing it quickly in his mind and found that this seemed to be an excellent plan for the Sifangchuan family.

It is true that Li Mo himself has not yet shown his ambition, but the fact that he has firmly grasped the military power and constantly led the new army to victory has already made his prestige exceptionally high for a territory that is constantly under the threat of Kabane. If the Shifangchuan family takes rash action, it may cause serious internal friction, but if they do not take action, Li Mo may gradually take the initiative. The head of the Shifangchuan family must respond.

At this point, Li Mo guessed what the head of the Sifangchuan family was thinking. If he was twenty years younger or had a son, the head of the Sifangchuan family would directly try to expel or kill Li Mo. Unfortunately, he only had one precious daughter, Sifangchuan Changpu, left in his direct line of the Sifangchuan family. If he could successfully expel or kill Li Mo, not to mention how much internal friction and losses it would bring to the developing Xianjinyi, could he and his daughter maintain such a large scale of Xianjinyi?

Regarding this issue, the head of the Sifangchuan family, who knew that his ability to lead troops in battle was not outstanding, was very self-aware. He was also well aware of the ability of his precious daughter, who could not support the current grand scene of Xianjinyi at all. What's more, Sifangchuan Changpu was also of marriageable age. Marrying his precious daughter to Li Mo and ensuring that the Sifangchuan family's name would not be lost was much better than other methods in any way.

Therefore, the head of the Sifangchuan family, who held this mentality, acquiesced in Li Mo's various actions to win over the hearts of the troops. Otherwise, if he had even one son as an heir, he would consider the option of expelling or killing Li Mo!

"I have no objection. Isn't the Patriarch afraid that I will completely take over the Sifangchuan Family?"

Li Mo let out a breath, and after thinking it through, he immediately realized that the current situation in Xianjinyi was completely different from the original plot. He looked at the head of the Sifangchuan family with some amusement and directly asked him a question of his own.

"Haha, although I am old, I think I can still see clearly. For a person who took the initiative to open up trade routes and return home after recovering the port, preserving the bloodline inheritance of the Sifangchuan family is the best outcome... Mo Jun, when are you going to marry Acorus?"

Hearing Li Mo's words, the head of the Sifangchuan family smiled. As a daimyo, he was not so naive. Through the goods and personnel transported by steam merchant ships, he naturally knew about Li Mo's development of the East Asian continent, which made him determined to enter into a marriage alliance. For this reason, even if the other party was allowed to command Xianjinyi, it would be acceptable, because he only had one precious daughter left in the Sifangchuan family.

At least, the head of the Sifangchuan family is not prepared to let his relatives who are closely related to him get away with it. He would rather let his grandson inherit the name and territory of the Sifangchuan family than think of letting others inherit the Sifangchuan family. He will never consider even relatives!

"We both need some time to prepare, so let's set it for seven days later~!"

At this time, Li Mo didn't have anything extra to say. He nodded to show that he agreed with the other party's opinion and proposed a more compact time.

"Time is a bit tight, but it's barely enough. After all, my beloved daughter's marriage involves the subsequent transfer of power in [Xianjin Post]. According to the rules, I have to inform Kongo Post and other castles and invite envoys from familiar daimyo to come and watch the ceremony..."

Facing Li Mo's reaction, the head of the Sifangchuan family raised his eyebrows and then recovered his mood. He pondered for a moment and nodded to indicate his consent. By the way, he made it clear that he was going to withdraw and let Li Mo know the inevitable procedure for the power transfer in Xianjinyi.

If it were a peaceful era, the wedding and power transfer process of a direct heir of a daimyo family would have to be reported to the shogun and other daimyo, and it would probably take a year and a half just to prepare for the wedding. However, at this time when Kabane is rampant, the wedding and power transfer ceremony of the daimyo's direct heir must be kept as simple as possible. Even using [Shuncheng] to travel to other castles would face considerable risks. The shogun's control over the castles in various places would naturally be superficial.

The head of the Sifangchuan family did not think that there was any big problem with the seven days given by Li Mo. In fact, with the current material reserves in Xianjinyi, a few days would be enough to prepare a pretty good wedding ceremony!

"Then I'll trouble you, father-in-law!"

Hearing the promise from the head of Sifangchuan family, Li Mo very tactfully changed the way he addressed him. Since he had already agreed to the marriage with the other party, and Sifangchuan Changpu was a beautiful woman, and it also came with the legitimate control and inheritance rights of Xianjinyi, there was naturally no reason for him to be reluctant. Calling the other party father-in-law was the most normal thing, and he didn't have any psychological burden at all.

This time, the head of the Sifangchuan family responded very happily. He was also relieved in his heart. Li Mo agreed to marry his daughter Sifangchuan Changpu. This was the best situation for both the Sifangchuan family and Xianjinyi!

Chapter 28: Marriage and Reality (Please collect and vote~!)

On that day, Xianjin Station sent the news of the power change of the Shifangchuan family and the marriage of the eldest daughter of the main family to Kongo Station and other castles through [Shuncheng], and according to custom, envoys from Kongo Station and other daimyo were invited to watch the ceremony.

In this case, in the peaceful period before the Kabane wreaked havoc, it would not be surprising that it would take a year and a half. Even with [Jun City] contacting other places, it would be the same. That thing called [Etiquette] is enough to torment people. Japan is a country that likes to torment itself with complicated etiquette. Just look at the colorful twelve-piece kimono, and consider that this thing can bear a maximum weight of more than 40 kilograms, and you will know how it feels for Japanese noble women to wear this thing.

Fortunately, the life-and-death crisis brought by Kabane has reduced the so-called etiquette and constraints to the lowest level. The wedding that used to require many cumbersome procedures has been reduced to the simplest invitation of general envoys and friendly daimyo envoys to watch the ceremony, and then conduct heir weddings of different specifications within the city depending on the supply reserves. It can be predicted that the supplies of most Neon cities are not sufficient. On the day of the heir wedding, it is a very good level to treat all the civilians in the city to a meal of white rice. Those who are a little stingy will do it simply.

In the past, Xianjinyi was considered to be of an upper-middle level among the remaining castles in Neon. After regaining the port and opening up trade with other parts of East Asia, the added bonuses of fishing, salt drying, and trade immediately greatly improved the overall strength of Xianjinyi. Except for the population increase which was not too much, its material resources had far surpassed those of other castles. And now that the eldest daughter of the family and the new leader were getting married, the scale of the wedding would naturally be expanded, making it particularly lively.

When the wedding started, there was a bustling atmosphere throughout Xianjin Station. Apart from the necessary guard forces that were on guard against the surrounding Kabane and other hidden dangers, everyone, including civilians, was enjoying the sumptuous food in front of them. For example, the main table at the wedding was filled with wine and various delicacies, which made the guests who came to watch the ceremony marvel and toast to Li Mo while enjoying.

After a day of cumbersome wedding ceremonies, Li Mo finally got rid of the wedding guests' urging to drink until the moon was high in the sky. He was supported by a maid and came to the castle tower, ready to step into the bridal chamber that was temporarily prepared for this wedding!

………………

It has to be said that the head of the Sifangchuan family was very thorough. Taking into account that his son-in-law might not be able to hold his liquor, he specially arranged for two maids beside his daughter to help support him. They would even take the initiative to participate in the wedding night if necessary.

But Li Mo is obviously not an ordinary person, or he has integrated the power of four other different worlds. His physical fitness alone has exceeded the limit of human beings, not to mention the existence of extraordinary powers such as martial arts, chakra and shadow power. It can be said that it is impossible for the world of the Iron Fortress to make him unable to drink alcohol, at least it is impossible for Li Mo to get drunk when he himself does not want to.

Seeing that the bridal chamber was just around the corner, Li Mo let go of the two maids who were supporting him, and asked the two maids who were full of expectation and uneasiness to leave. Even though the two maids felt a little unwilling, facing Li Mo's firm rejection, they had no choice but to retreat. When they left, they still secretly looked at Li Mo, with a hint of resentment and expectation in their beautiful eyes. But when they didn't get Li Mo's permission, they could only retreat and dared not step into the bridal chamber.

After all, the situation in Japan is that you can only act recklessly unless you break the rules. For example, Li Mo forced the head of the Sifangchuan family to give in and marry Sifangchuan Changpu to control Xianjinyi. In fact, it was a decent process of admitting defeat. However, the two little maids, Cricket, had no confidence to disobey the new master of Xianjinyi. Even if they felt that they had lost a great opportunity, they could only withdraw with regret.

To Li Mo, the two little maids were too young. If they really did anything, they would probably be punished by the iron claws of the mythical beast river crab. Besides, there was a very beautiful woman in the bridal chamber. Why should Li Mo still consider two small maids?

"Um?!"

As soon as he pushed the door and entered the room, Li Mo saw the newly decorated bridal chamber. In the light of the whale oil candles, a white wedding dress was scattered on the ground, and the bride had changed into her usual western dress.

Shifangchuan Ayame not only changed into her favorite cherry-colored western dress, but also undid the complicated bun on her white wedding dress and tied it into a long ponytail again. She was now using a small knife to cut the curtains, and the strips of cloth she had just torn off were tied into a half-finished rope. It can be predicted that if she waits a little longer, this young lady may try to escape through the window.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, Sifang Chuan Changpu couldn't help but tremble. He turned around and saw Li Mo had already stepped into the bridal chamber. He hurriedly raised the knife in his hand, clenched the knife with both hands and pointed it at Li Mo!

"Tsk tsk, Miss, are you planning to run away from your marriage?"

Seeing Sifangchuan Acorus' actions, Li Mo said with some emotion as he walked.

"Don't come over here, I would rather commit suicide than marry you!"

Upon hearing this, Sifangchuan Acorus' whole body froze, and then he hurriedly turned the knife in his hand, pointed the tip of the knife at his throat, and spoke in a trembling voice.

As a young lady, it is naturally difficult for Sifangchuan Acorus to commit suicide. However, her escape plan has been discovered before it can be implemented. When she finds that the man she once saw with her father is approaching, Sifangchuan Acorus, who is afraid that the other party will force her to marry him, can only threaten him with suicide, or at least prevent him from taking dangerous actions to approach her.

Li Mo smiled slightly, and stood still with his arms crossed, watching the show. There was a hint of playfulness in his words: "Well, if you want to commit suicide, just do it! Anyway, the wedding is over, and your father has announced his resignation in public. I will inherit the position of the new city lord. Your task as a tool has been completed..."

"you?!!"

Hearing Li Mo's sarcastic words, Sifang Chuan Changpu was so angry that her hands were shaking. She almost cut herself accidentally. She couldn't help but temporarily lower the knife in her hand. Tears flowed down her beautiful eyes. The young lady, who was obviously angry, couldn't help but grit her teeth and shouted to Li Mo: "Am I just a tool for handing over power in your eyes?"

"What else? What do you think you are?"

Li Mo couldn't help but curl his lips and refute such naive remarks. He didn't think it was a good idea for Sifangchuan Changpu to escape from the marriage. It was obvious that the rich lady had not yet understood the cruelty of reality.

"I am a person! I have the right to choose my own happiness! I am not a puppet that you can arrange a marriage for me at will!!!"

Li Mo's rebuttal further irritated Sifang Chuan Changpu's nerves. The rich lady's eyes became more and more tearful and she shouted hysterically.

"That's something only a young lady who doesn't know much about the world would say. It turns out that without going through those hardships, one can't grow up~!"

Faced with Sifang Chuan Changpu's excited attitude, Li Mo spread his hands helplessly and sighed, then his figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from the spot. Before Sifang Chuan Changpu could react, the knife in her hand was slapped away and nailed firmly to the roof. She was directly embraced in Li Mo's arms, looking completely cute and allowing Li Mo to bully her.

However, Li Mo activated the [Power of Black Shadow] the next second, and directly took himself and Shifang Chuan Acorus away from the bridal chamber. And the next second, Shifang Chuan Acorus found himself standing on the top of the castle tower!

……

"What did you do? Let me go..."

When Shifangchuan Acorus realized that she had been brought to the castle tower for no apparent reason, she felt dizzy and embraced by a warm person. It took her several seconds to react and her pretty face instantly turned red.

However, Shifangchuan Acorus was released from the waist by Li Mo in the next second, and she almost stumbled and fell because of the rain shield of the castle tower. If Li Mo had not hugged her immediately, this young lady who just let out an exceptionally high-pitched scream would have to experience what a tragic feeling it would be to fall from the castle tower that was dozens of meters high. That was obviously a situation of seeking death, which was something she absolutely did not want to do.

After experiencing the terrifying experience that made her adrenaline surge, Sifang Chuanchangpu instinctively hugged Li Mo's waist tightly. The chill brought by the cold wind made her shiver uncontrollably. She instinctively hugged Li Mo and wanted to get more warmth. Even though she quickly realized that her current behavior was very ambiguous, the fear of being in the sky and could fall at any time made it difficult for her to let go, so she held back her shame and hugged her nominal husband.

Fortunately, Li Mo did not make any excessive moves for the time being. Noticing that the other party was very well-behaved, Shifangchuan Acorus tentatively raised his head and found that he was actually standing on the top of the castle tower. Li Mo was hugging him like a solid stone statue, and below him was the brightly lit Xianjinyi city area. The houses in the field of vision became smaller, and people came and went, but it was full of a lively and festive atmosphere.

At this time, Li Mo gently hugged Sifangchuan Changpu in his arms, looking at this young lady with a great figure and outstanding appearance, then pointed to the bustling Xianjinyi and said to her directly:

"Hey, Acorus, take a good look at the current Xianjinyi~!"

(The photo of Sifang Chuancai from Baidu shows that she is indeed a beauty)

Chapter 29: Girl's Attachment (Please collect and vote~!)

Xianjinyi

As the second-largest castle in Japan, Xianjinyi, which has sufficient supplies, is a lively place when the new lord ascends the throne and holds his wedding. The castle town is bustling with activity.

The streets decorated with lights and the pedestrians playing around made Xianjinyi appear to be in a peaceful scene as if in a prosperous age. However, if you look closely at the towering city walls and the guards who are still on duty, you will know that it is still in a world threatened by Kabane. It's just that Xianjinyi has made great progress in strength recently, and has cleared out all the Kabane around it, forming a relatively safe area. There is also ample supplies for the wedding of Li Mo and Sifangchuan Acorus.

Even though there were smart people who knew all this, facing the rare wedding of the new city lord, both the original residents of Xianjinyi and the foreign envoys and merchants all participated in the wedding celebrations with great enthusiasm. Now that it was nightfall, Xianjinyi had opened a night market, and high-end seafood, desserts and other foods that were in limited supply in the past were being sold at stalls. The original residents of Xianjinyi, who rarely saw these good things, took out their wallets to buy them. The merchants or envoys from other cities were even more eager to buy them all up.

Even though each person is limited to purchasing high-end seafood and desserts, other snack stalls such as oden and grilled squid that are not limited are doing particularly prosperous business. The common people, who rarely get to wear their most precious new clothes, enjoy the food with their families or close friends. Occasionally, one can hear laughter and smiles from the castle town, which makes people realize that they are very satisfied with the lively scene and delicious food of today's wedding, and the life that makes them feel full of hope.

Seeing this noisy and bustling scene, Shifangchuan Acorus unconsciously stopped struggling, leaned in Li Mo's arms and stared at the castle town in a daze. Li Mo did not move much and waited silently!

………………

"Hey, Acorus, how are you feeling now?"

After looking at Xianjinyi from afar for several minutes, Li Mo gently hugged the beautiful woman in his arms, lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

"Wait a minute, I haven't given you permission to call me by my first name yet!"

Hearing Li Mo's ambiguous words, Sifang Chuanchangpu reacted and felt the heat beside her ears. She felt that they were actually leaning in each other's arms. Her pretty face instantly became hot as if it was on fire. She turned her face away and did not answer the question raised by Li Mo. Instead, she whispered to change the subject: "Anyway, I still don't admit that you are my husband..."

"Acorus, haven't you noticed that the situation at Xianjinyi is different from a few months ago?"

Looking at Sifangchuan Changpu's ostrich posture, Li Mo put on a smile, feeling the faint body fragrance of the beautiful woman in his arms. He then gestured to the Xianjinyi which seemed very lively, and said with a slightly proud tone.

"A few months ago? It seems that Yicheng is much more lively than before..."

Faced with Li Mo's repeated inquiry, Shifangchuan Acorus, who had not left the castle tower many times in the past few days and was entangled in his father's proposal of marriage for Li Mo, looked at the lively scene of Xianjin Station in a daze, and his words were very uncertain.

"It's simple. Compared to a few months ago, Xianjinyi has cleared out the Kabane from the surrounding area and also reconquered the previously lost port!"

Li Mo, who knew that this young lady had not grown up with the complicated experience of the original story, sighed a little at the bewildered attitude of Sifang Chuanchu. Then, with a solemn expression, he pointed directly at the lively scene of Xianjinyi and said, "Perhaps, you think that your marriage with me is a dirty exchange of interests, and even sacrifices the love and future of a young girl. But for the vast majority of people living in Xianjinyi, this means that their current life will continue, and they don't have to barely survive starvation like before, and they don't have to suffer the threat of Kabane..."

Sifangchuan Acorus's cherry lips moved, and she found that she had no way to refute Li Mo's words. Although she didn't pay much attention to political affairs, she knew how great what the man in front of her did was - the other party ensured that everyone in Xianjinyi had food to eat and jobs to do, and they did not have to suffer the threat of Kabane. This had always been her father's greatest wish, but he could only barely protect himself!

However, Li Mo did accomplish these things. After being rescued back to Xianjinyi, he not only quickly invented new weapons that demonstrated great power to kill Kabane, but also improved the steam guns and new ammunition, allowing the new army to quickly be able to fight against the surrounding Kabane, directly recapture the port and engage in external trade.

Even though he was angry with his father and was dissatisfied with the fact of marriage implied in his words, Sifangchuan Changpu also felt the changes brought about by Li Mo. Foods such as sugar and seafood, which Xianjinyi could not produce before, have appeared on the dining tables of various families in Xianjinyi in the past few months. For example, the Sifangchuan family obtained the top-notch goods, exquisite desserts and all kinds of precious seafood, which made Sifangchuan Changpu understand the importance of his family's recovery of the port. It turned the entire Xianjinyi from a stagnant pool into an important and vibrant trade route.

Half a year ago, Shifangchuan Acorus, who would at least go out with his father occasionally, had seen Xianjin Station, which was a depressed scene with a depressing atmosphere. Most of the civilians who came and went had pale faces, and the number of goods on the market was pitifully small. Those civilians and even the lower-level samurai families had to try their best to utilize every piece of land around their homes, and the vegetables and grains they grew were often not enough to eat.

At this time, Li Mo's words made Sifangchuan Changpu understand why the marriage between Li Mo and himself caused such a lively and noisy atmosphere in Xianjinyi. Including several family elders and retainers he knew, they all agreed to this marriage.

"It seems like you have figured it out. I thought you were a spoiled brat, but now it seems you are quite sensible~!"

Li Mo found that Sifang Chuanchangpu had calmed down and did not act like a scoundrel like those unruly and willful young ladies, so he smiled and whispered teasingly.

"But, but, you ignored my wishes after all!"

Although Li Mo's words convinced Sifang Chuan Changpu, when she looked at Li Mo's smiling face, she still felt a little annoyed and couldn't help but speak.

"Your wish? Haha, Acorus, don't forget that your name is Sifangchuan Acorus. You are first the eldest daughter of the Sifangchuan family and the heir of Xianjinyi, and only then a young girl Acorus! Since you have been enjoying a life of luxury with peace of mind, it means that you must bear the corresponding obligations and costs of such a life. Now everyone in Xianjinyi needs you to make this sacrifice. What qualifications do you have to pursue your own freedom and love?!"

Suddenly hearing Li Mo's rebuttal, Sifang Chuanchangpu was struck by lightning and her eyes were blank. She looked at her well-maintained white and tender hands, and then looked at the bustling Xianjinyi. She did not speak for a long time and fell silent. Then, as if she had figured something out, she lowered her head and buried herself in Li Mo's arms.

"Ayaka, are you cold?"

At this time, Li Mo hugged her very naturally and whispered comfortingly.

"Well, take me back..."

Sifangchuan Acorus felt the warmth brought by Li Mo's embrace, and couldn't help but actively hugged Li Mo's neck, and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito's buzzing.

"Then let's go back and enjoy our wedding night~!"

Li Mo hugged Sifang Chuan Changpu tightly, then activated the [Power of Black Shadow] and brought her back to the bridal chamber. When Sifang Chuan Changpu saw Li Mo's burning gaze, she no longer had any resistance and greeted him with a blushing face.

Soon, the low moaning of Sifang Chuancai was heard in the bridal chamber. The low moaning of the girl, like crying, lasted for a long time before stopping...

……

The next morning, Sifang Chuan Changpu woke up late as a matter of course. If the maid hadn't knocked on the door and considering that it was the girl's first time, Li Mo would have probably not been able to help but wake up late as well and have some more intimate time with the beautiful woman in his arms.
