The Kingdom of Marriage: My Stunning Empress

In the woodshed, a strong man was tied up to a pillar.

His hands and feet were all tied up with ropes, and his eyes seemed to be spewing anger as he stared straight at Diao Meiniang who was sitting leisurely not far in front of him.

Next to Diao Meiniang was a table with tea, cakes, and even melon seeds on it.

Diao Meiniang gracefully picked up the teacup, brought it to her lips, gently blew away the hot air on it with her rosy lips, and took a small sip.

She put down the teacup and looked at the man in front of her with a sweet smile.

This person is Li Shuangdao, the thug who followed Liu Xiantai to Tianxianglou before!

Li Shuangdao seemed filled with righteous indignation and cursed at Diao Meiniang.

"You vicious, venomous woman! Kill me if you dare!"

"You took advantage of me being knocked unconscious and trapped me here for days! You fed me, gave me drinks, and even let two slutty women seduce me every day. What's the point of this?"

After hearing what Li Shuangdao said, Diao Meiniang felt a little headache and gently supported her forehead with her slender hands.

She was considered knowledgeable, but it was rare to find a man like Li Shuangdao who was not interested in women.

The reason why Diao Meiniang locked up Li Shuangdao here and sent her own courtesan to seduce him every day was to "recruit someone" for her husband.

She sent people to inquire about Li Shuangdao's information and learned that Li Shuangdao was a well-known knight in the martial arts world.

As we all know, there are three rankings in the world.

It is divided into three lists: "Tianxiong", "Diling" and "Renjie".

The Tianxiong list is the highest, corresponding to the thirty-six Tiangang constellations in the sky.

There are thirty-six seats, and those who can make the list are all long-established martial arts masters from major sects in the world.

The Earth Spirit List comes next, corresponding to the 72 Earthly Evil Constellations in the sky.

There are seventy-two seats, and those on the list are all famous masters in the world!

The list of outstanding people has a relatively large number of seats, with two hundred.

The list includes all the young and promising new masters in the world.

This Li Shuangdao came from the Juedao Sect of Western Shu Kingdom and was the direct disciple of the Sect Master.

Diao Meiniang wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Li Shuangdao, but unexpectedly, this guy refused to listen!

Diao Meiniang couldn't let her go at the moment, and it was also a headache to keep her locked up.

In a few days, she will follow Han Zhuo into the palace, and Li Shuangdao cannot be kept here forever.

Diao Meiniang came here today just to confront him.

Diao Meiniang stared at Li Shuangdao and said, "Hey, Mr. Li, what do you have to do to follow my husband?"

Li Shuangdao snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it!"

"You want me, a disciple of the Juedao Sect, to follow a fool!?"

"If this gets out, where will the reputation of my Juedao Sect be? How will I, the Western Shu double-sword master Li Shuangdao, gain a foothold in the martial arts world in the future?"

"Also, get these two women out of here right now! I don't need women!"

"Women will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!"

Diao Meiniang quickly heard useful information from Li Shuangdao's words.

Her smart eyes turned slightly, she tapped the table lightly, and smiled in her heart: Got it, I found his weakness!

Diao Meiniang smiled at the two courtesans and said, "You two should go out. If someone asks you where you have been these past two days, please go out."

"Let's talk about the Western Shu Twin Swordsman, ranked 132nd on the Jianghu Heroes List. He was tied up in our backyard. You've been taking turns serving him for the past two days."

When Diao Meiniang said this, Li Shuangdao immediately shouted exaggeratedly: "No! Don't!!"

He cursed Diao Meiniang: "You have a venomous mouth! You have a bad heart! You are such a vicious woman! You...you want to ruin my reputation?"

"I tell you, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!"

Diao Meiniang saw that her goal had been achieved and finally identified the boy's weakness.

So, he used a method he had used to train courtesans, and patiently persuaded her: "Li Shuangdao, I know you care about your reputation. For people in the underworld, the most important thing is face."

"You were defeated by my husband. This is an established fact. You can't deny it."

Li Shuangdao snorted coldly, "I did lose, but that was a sneak attack! It doesn't count!"

"If I were given another chance, I would definitely be able to..."

Diao Meiniang interrupted immediately: "Forget it, just stop being so stubborn."

"Let me ask you, your Juedao Sect is considered a famous and prestigious sect in Western Shu, but how many disciples under the Sect Leader have achieved success in the courts of various countries?"

Li Shuangdao was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought carefully, then said, "No! We are from the underworld, how could we possibly be lackeys for the imperial court?"

Diao Meiniang immediately revealed the kind of contemptuous look that an ordinary brothel owner has.

Then he covered his mouth and said, "Yo yo yo, look at what you said!"

"A few days ago, this guy was working as a thug for the young master of the Liu family? And now he's still speaking so shamelessly here."

Li Shuangdao's face was slightly embarrassed, but he said firmly: "That, that was forced by the situation!"

"Jianghu Baixiaosheng posted a notice, and I simply took it off and came to serve as Mr. Liu's bodyguard for a month."

"After the matter is accomplished, my experience in the martial arts world will appear on the monthly list published by Jianghu Baixiaosheng, for the Jianghu Channel to read!"

When Diao Meiniang heard this, she immediately said to Li Shuangdao, "You have a head for nothing!"

"Adding a paragraph about your experience to the Jianghu Baixiaosheng list is just one or two lines of small print. It's a question whether others will read it!"

"But if you, the Western Shu Twin Swordsman, became a general in the Xuanyuan Kingdom, and led troops into battle in the future, making your name known to the world, I ask you, would you be able to become famous throughout the world?"

"Is it possible to carry forward your Juedao Sect?"

As soon as Diao Meiniang finished speaking, Li Shuangdao's eyes widened and his mouth slowly opened: "Can I, can I be a general?"

"Can I lead troops into battle and command great power?"

"But, but he is a fool..."

"Bah, you're the fool!"

As soon as Diao Meiniang saw the expression on Li Shuangdao's face, she knew that today's recruitment had been successful.

Just at this moment, a maid came in hurriedly and whispered a few words in Diao Meiniang's ear.

When Diao Meiniang heard that it was Han Zhuo calling her, she immediately smiled.

She said to Li Shuangdao, "My husband is guarding the camp outside the city and is recruiting heroes from all over the world."

"One month later, I will lead my troops to a showdown with Young Master Li in the Imperial Palace!"

"This battle is attracting everyone's attention. It's up to you whether you want to go or not!"

After saying that, Diao Meiniang flew away like a butterfly.

"Hey! Hey! I'm going, I'm going!"

"But you let me go. Hey, don't touch me. I don't want a woman, I want a knife!!"

Han Zhuo's living room.

Wang Miaomiao was still wearing her wedding dress, but she didn't look aggrieved as if she had been kidnapped.

Instead, he put his hands on his hips, still in the same domineering attitude as before.

She kept scolding Han Zhuo: "Hey, idiot, what's wrong with you?"
