Smiling sheepishly at Jiang Tài Píng Liu Tián Qǔ said, "Jiang Tài Píng I just realized I forgot to mention one of the most important things."
"Eh?" Jiang Tài Píng looked inquisitively at Liu Tián Qǔ and asked, "What is it you forgot to mention?"
"I forgot to tell you that I want you to design the garrison for me. Of course, I will also pay you for designing it and building it." In the memories of the original owner's past life. Jiang Tài Píng and two of his friends had built a virtually impenetrable Garrison.
It's had took the lives of hundreds of thousands of warriors to penetrate the garrison and capture Jiang Tài Píng when he went crazy after the death of his wife and child.
Jiang Tài Píng froze with the teapot in his hand. He had picked up the teapot to refill their cups. Jiang Tài Píng stared at Liu Tián Qǔ in complete utter shock. However, Liu Tián Qǔ was staring at the teapot in Jiang Tài Píng's hand wondering if she should rescue the teapot before Jiang Tài Píng dropped it.
Finally, coming back to his senses, Jiang Tài Píng followed Liu Tián Qǔ 's gaze to the teapot in his hand. Realizing his nerveless fingers was in danger of dropping the pot. Jiang Tài Píng gently lowered the teapot back to the tea tray, leaving his teacup empty.
Jiang Tài Píng looked at Liu Tián Qǔ dubiously with traces of shock written all over his face and said, "I don't know how to design garrisons much less build one. I never designed one before."
"As a warrior and a martial artist, have you ever thought about garrisons? The weakness of certain garrisons, the best place to build an impenetrable garrison and things of that nature."
"Well yeah, I have had plenty of discussions with many friends of mine of the sort. In fact, many warriors discuss things like this," Jiang Tài Píng said.
Liu Tián Qǔ smiled widely at Jiang Tài Píng showing all thirty-two teeth, "Well then that's a start, if you need the help of your friends that will also be fine with me, I can hire them as well. I trust you, so I will allow you to bring in whoever you wish to bring in. I will place no restrictions on you. However, I wish to meet all whom you bring in." Liu Tián Qǔ said with a serious face.
"There is a ton of empty rooms and courtyards all over my residence. We even have barracks here that can hold thousands. If they have no other obligations tell them I said to come, I will hire them all. They can help you design and build the garrison."
A shellshocked Jiang Tài Píng stared at Liu Tián Qǔ in incomprehension. Jiang Tài Píng's tangled mind wondered just how he became responsible for building and designing a massive garrison to hold forty thousand warriors. 'I was only supposed to hire and train warriors, okay? How did I all of a sudden become a designer and builder of garrisons?'

A dumbfounded Jiang Tài Píng looked at Liu Tián Qǔ with dazed eyes. He was not sure how to answer his new Young Lord.
Liu Tián Qǔ decided not to give Jiang Tài Píng a chance to decline. She decided to strike while the iron was hot. "Good, it's settled then. I will leave it all in your hands. Just let me know what you need, and I will do the best that I can to provide it. When you have gathered your friends for the planning phase, let me know. I will hold a meeting to meet them and to inform everyone of my requirements for the garrison, and you all can build around that."
Liu Tián Qǔ smirked inwardly and decided to hurry up and change the subject, "You can get started immediately, don't worry about your wife and child. They are in good hands. Oh, also, after your wife heals, if she gets restless and sees anything interesting she wants to do, then let me know." Liu Tián Qǔ saw Jiang Tài Píng tense up and a strange expression come on his face.
To avoid any misunderstanding, Liu Tián Qǔ quickly explained what she meant, "Never in my residence will your wife be treated as a servant, so you don't need to worry about that. You are the Commander of the Liu Residence. So your family will be accorded the proper respect in my home." Liu Tián Qǔ saw Jiang Tài Píng expression go back to normal, so she continued.
"What I meant was she can feel free to do whatever she wants to do. If she wishes to start a business, I have no qualms with investing in the business to help her get started. If she wants to do nothing at all except read or relax, that is fine as well. The Chen Family left behind a big empty library. I could refill it for her, so she has good things to read." Liu Tián Qǔ explained.
"I am going to shameless work you hard. However, I want your wife to be comfortable and very happy in my home. You must let me know later on after she heals and get restless. Whatever it is, she wants to do. I will be there to help make it happen." The strange expression had evaporated from Jiang Tài Píng and Liu Tián Qǔ could tell he felt slightly embarrassed for thinking the worse. So once again, she quickly changed the subject.
"So, since you are going out today, make sure you do a little poking around and find out what last night's disturbance was all about." Jiang Tài Píng looked a the curious expression on his new Young Lords face and could help but to burst out laughing.
"What?" Liu Tián Qǔ said, slightly embarrassed. "I said that I wasn't going out didn't say I wasn't going to send you out."
Seeing his shameless Young Lord cheeks tinge pink with embarrassment Jiang Tài Píng only laughed harder.
A knock sounded on the door cutting into Jiang Tài Píng laughter. Happy for the interruption, Liu Tián Qǔ hurriedly said, "Come in."
A short slender middle-age male servant with big eyes and bushy eyebrows entered the lounge area coming from outside. "Young Master, a large delivery from the blacksmith just arrived. That delivery Butler Zhou sent me to ask you, where do you want the delivered goods to be taken?"
"Okay, Thank you, tell butler Zhou, I will be right there." Liu Tián Qǔ said, rising from where she was seated at the table. After excusing herself and sending off Jiang Tài Píng, Liu Tián Qǔ made her way to the front of the residence where Butler Zhou waited for her.
