Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

City Lord's Mansion.

In the former Leng Mansion, the yard was also full of busy figures.

The entire yard was filled with round tables, and Leng Chengye's voice could be heard from time to time.

"Is the food ready? It's almost time to finish over there, so the food must be ready quickly."

"Yes, sir, the kitchen has already started serving the food. It will be ready when the city lord and the master return."

At some point, Li Tianze's name in the City Lord's Mansion became "City Husband".

Even though they have not yet been married, almost all the people in the north know about their relationship.

Nowadays, whenever Li Tianze walks on the street, people will smile and call him a city dweller.

He smiled back as if he had eaten honey, without any sense of shame about being a "son-in-law".

"Go back!"

Leng Youran waved his sleeves and easily swept the dead Eastern Jin soldiers away. Even the bloodstains left on the battlefield were cleaned up.

After the soldiers returned to the city, Leng Youran flicked his finger and a flame fell on the pile of corpses. As the flames ignited, the smoke of war ended again.

After the two entered the city, Leng Youran didn't care about his image and pulled Li Tianze to the casino.

The casino opened today and people placed bets on when they could end the fight. She had been betting for half an hour.

Thinking that she was about to get another 1,000 taels of silver, her face was filled with joy.

After the two came out of the casino, Leng Youran habitually gave half of the silver in his hand to Li Tianze, and Li Tianze accepted it.

"Ran'er, if this goes on, when will I be able to save enough money for the dowry to marry you?" Li Tianze weighed the silver in his hand, without a trace of joy on his face.

He was almost thirty years old, and his relationship with Youyou was gradually becoming more open, but the little girl just refused to agree to get married.

She also said that she still had plenty of time and couldn't be trapped in the inner house.

"Well, that depends on your ability to make money. Anyway, our family has already prepared the dowry, so you can decide for yourself!" Leng Youran said indifferently while counting the silver in his hand.

Li Tianze's shoulders drooped suddenly.

During these five years, he and she developed the Northland into the North City. The number of people taken in and recruited in the city has reached nearly 200,000, and the number of soldiers has grown from no one before to the current 100,000-strong army.

Moreover, those people were trained by Li Tianze himself. One cannot be equal to a hundred on the battlefield, but one to ten is enough.

The North was thriving, and everything was going smoothly, except for his marriage to Leng Youran, which was on hold.

How could Leng Youran not know what he was thinking? She was not afraid that she would not be able to leave the backyard after getting married, but Qin Zhaohai had not shown up yet. She did not want to, and was not willing to, get married and have children early.

The matter has not been settled yet, and she is afraid that she will become addicted to the taste of home and lose her fighting spirit.

"Youyou, are you worried that there will be trouble when that person shows up in the future?" Li Tianze was like a worm in her stomach, and he could see through her inner thoughts at a glance.

"Well, I guess so. If we get married now and have a child, my focus won't be on developing the North. If that person takes advantage of the situation and takes advantage of it..."

She has lived alone since she was a child, so she doesn't want her children to live in a situation where they want to see their parents but can't.

Li Tianze breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, then wait a little longer, there's still a lifetime to go."

Leng Youran chuckled, threw the silver in his hand into the space, and naturally held Li Tianze's big hand with his right hand.

Li Tianze smiled. Although he really wanted to get married, she was right. The country was not stable yet, so how could the family be stable?

He should feel fortunate that the two of them are still as loving as ever after all these years.

During these years, Leng Yuyang and Ji Wanqing got married.

Leng Yuze also fell in love with Chen Yaner.

Even that kid Leng Yuning is said to have taken a fancy to his younger sister Li Manrou, so good things are about to happen.

There are more and more new lives in the north, and the house that originally seemed empty is now more warm because Tianming and Tianduo have more children.

As for him, he was already satisfied as he always had Leng Youran by his side.

"Master, grandfather, father, dad, uncle."

After stepping into the yard, Leng Youran naturally let go of Li Tianze's hand and ran towards the elders in the hall.

Because Leng Youran and Zhao Mingyao had a falling out, Leng Heng had already brought his family, the guards from Liangzhou, and many other people to the north.

After recruiting a large number of people, An Liu and An Qi faked their deaths and escaped back to the north with a group of people.

Now they are really gathered together.

"Finally you're back. Did you go to the casino again?" Old Master Leng pretended to be serious.

Leng Youran was not frightened at all. She sat down next to her third uncle and pulled Li Tianze over to sit down as well.

Then he said with a smile: "Grandfather, didn't I build the Northland just for fun? Besides, the casino is ours, and nothing dirty will happen there. Please stop scolding me. After waiting for so long, can we have dinner now?"

After saying this, he looked at Old Man Leng with a flattering expression.

Old Master Leng and You Xian looked at each other, shook their heads and chuckled.

Leng Youran has taken care of You Xian to the point where he is almost normal. Even his hair, which had turned white in an instant, now shows signs of turning black again.

As for the others, of course, they were no exception. Leng Youran would transfer wood-related abilities to them from time to time, making their bodies very strong.

There are no wrinkles on anyone's face.

Of course, this also owes something to Mr. Fan and You Xian.

When the two of them had nothing to do, they had someone dig a pond in the backyard and filled it with cement, turning it into a huge swimming pool.

It not only contains the spiritual spring water from Leng Youran's space, but also contains medicines for conditioning the body.

Everyone in the family, regardless of gender, would go there from time to time.

It’s impossible to be in poor health.

"Okay, okay, you're already in your twenties, but you still have the mentality of a child. I think it's better to marry you off soon so that we can both relax." This was the first time that Old Man Leng took the initiative to talk about Leng Youran's marriage.

Li Tianze excitedly stirred his hands back and forth under the table, but when he glanced at Leng Youran who was sitting next to him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously fell down.

"Okay, then let's get married before they send out their troops next time!"

Leng Youran's sudden words shocked everyone present with his diplomatic theory.

Leng Heng: "What?"

Leng Chengye: "Ran'er? Are you serious?"

Leng Chengdong: "Ran'er, don't think that grandpa said this because he doesn't want you to stay at home."

Leng Chengye also nodded in agreement, "Yes, your grandfather was joking. You must not marry yourself off hastily just because of such a small matter."
