Chapter 133: Marriage on the Day of Victory

It wasn't until Miao Jinzhi was dragged away that Nan Lisheng finally reacted.

She had always been a willful and unruly member of the mountain barbarian tribe, but when faced with the inadvertent show of power from Lu Changjing, she became obedient for a while.

"If you have nothing else to do, then go back to the Jade Pavilion first. The Ministry of Rites will choose a suitable day for the wedding."

Looking at the seven saint ladies of the mountain barbarians who seemed a little at a loss, Lu Changjing waved his hand.

Nan Lisheng hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Even if Granny Miao deserved it, shouldn't Your Majesty give the Mountain Barbarians an explanation for what happened on the front line?"

"Now the Mountain Barbarians' army of over one million has been framed by the Blood Barbarians and cannot escape the encirclement. However, the Tiger and Leopard Army of the King of the Southwest has been unstoppable and has killed a large number of blood beasts. Should these be distributed to the Mountain Barbarians as agreed?"

"I will look into this matter, but the King of Southwest is my father-in-law, and he is commanding troops outside. It is still unknown whether he will listen to me." Lu Changjing said perfunctorily.

Nan Lisheng also heard it and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Changjing: "After you marry into the harem, Saint Nan will be my person and a member of the Daning Dynasty, so it is best not to get involved in the affairs of the Shanman tribe. This will be your home from now on."

Nan Lisheng was shocked and realized that she had been sent to Baiyujing by the mountain barbarians.

According to the rules in most places, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. From now on, she is no longer the Seventh Saint of the Mountain Barbarians, but the Respected Concubine of Emperor Daning.

If she keeps speaking for the mountain barbarians and standing on their side, not to mention her, even her future princes and princesses will probably not be welcomed.

Thinking of the threatening words his father and brothers said when he was heading to Baiyujing, and the way his mother only cared about his brothers, Nan Lisheng became silent.

Then she bowed and retreated. Seeing that she was sensible, Lu Changjing nodded and continued to practice and improve.

After all, she is not too stupid and there is still some hope. If she really wants to stand on the side of the mountain barbarians, she may have to stay away from this Concubine Jing in the future.

Unless one day, the Daning Dynasty swallows up the mountain barbarians, perhaps they can be treated well.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Seventh Saintess of the Mountain Barbarians was dragged out by you?"

Not long after, Rong Xiyao sneaked into the imperial study with a food box, and asked curiously when she saw Lu Changjing.

Lu Changjing held her in his arms, kissed her lips, and after enjoying the sweetness for a while, he said speechlessly, "I only had the deputy envoy dragged out. The chief envoy, the Seventh Saintess of the Mountain Barbarians, was not dragged out."

"So that's how it is. It looks like someone is spreading rumors again." Rong Xiyao was a little disappointed. "Why don't you drag the seven saints of the mountain barbarians out as well? These barbarians are the most arrogant. They should be severely punished so that they will behave themselves."

"Would you like me to teach her a lesson a few times in the future, so that she can learn the rules of the palace and stop being so lawless again?"

Lu Changjing quickly fed her a mouthful of imported spiritual bananas: "No need, a mere barbarian woman, can't I handle it? My beloved concubine doesn't need to intervene in this matter."

"Hey, Your Majesty, you are not a womanizer, are you? When are you going to marry a woman from the Mountain Barbarians?" Rong Xiyao glared at Lu Changjing. Lu Changjing stuffed her cherry lips with a mouthful of imported banana juice again: "When the victory news from the southwest arrives, I will marry the Seventh Saint of the Mountain Barbarians. I will find time to send a secret letter to tell my father-in-law that simply defeating the Blood Barbarians is not a victory news. We must find an opportunity to teach the Mountain Barbarians a lesson."

"Okay, Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do." Rong Xiyao was delighted. She couldn't help but hug Lu Changjing's neck and fed him an imported grape.

Lu Changjing deliberately dropped it into Rong Xiyao's collar, and then used his hands and mouth to search for it. Rong Xiyao was soon pushed down...

After searching for more than half an hour, they finally found the fallen spiritual grapes. The two continued to enjoy the imported delicacies and no longer paid attention to the affairs of the mountain barbarians.

In the Zama Blood Forest, the Blood Barbarians also knew that the Southwestern Army was just a minor illness. After all, the Southwestern Army would leave the Zama Blood Forest sooner or later.

Unlike the Fulong Mountains next to the Zama Blood Forest, the Mountain Barbarians are very likely to occupy an area here. In addition, the Blood Barbarians cannot deal with the Tiger and Leopard Army who are advancing step by step and forming military formations, so they can only vent their anger on the Mountain Barbarians.

At this moment, the Mountain Barbarians have already sent out more than one million soldiers, which is definitely a huge amount for a tribe with a population of only tens of millions.

The number of regular troops of the Mountain Barbarians is only a few hundred thousand, and the rest are hunters in peacetime and transform into soldiers in war. The same is true for the Blood Barbarians.

Compared with the Tiger and Leopard Army, which have undergone formal training and have been preparing for a hundred years, the gap is huge.

If the individual quality of the soldiers was not inferior to that of the barbarian soldiers, the results achieved by the Tiger and Leopard Army would have been even more brilliant.

The Blood Barbarians also pursued and intercepted the Tiger and Leopard Army, but unfortunately the effect was not good. Facing the Tiger and Leopard Army led by Rong Zongshun, the Blood Barbarians suffered heavy losses.

In the end, they could only harass the surrounding areas to prevent the Tiger and Leopard Army from advancing too quickly.

Although he had thought about achieving the goal in one battle and dispatching a large number of troops to encircle and kill the Tiger and Leopard Army, the Blood Barbarians only had more than one million soldiers. Even if all of them were mobilized, they would not be able to encircle and kill the Tiger and Leopard Army, so he had to give up this idea.

Rong Zongshun also specially mobilized 500,000 Tiger and Leopard Army based on the situation of the Blood Barbarian Tribe. Otherwise, it would not be just the Tiger and Leopard Army that went on the expedition. In addition, the Tiger and Leopard Army would have more than 500,000 people. There were also 500,000 reserve personnel of the Tiger and Leopard Army in several prefectures in the southwest, ready to go to the front line at any time.

After being taught a lesson, the mountain barbarian envoys became obedient and stayed in the Jade Pavilion obediently, no longer showing their previous arrogance and domineering behavior.

Especially the old fellow Miao Jinzhi, who had previously looked down on Lu Changjing, the procrastinating emperor, the monk emperor, and the wimp emperor...but in the end he couldn't even resist a glance from Lu Changjing, and his spiritual sea was severely damaged. At this moment, he was as obedient as a quail.

These barbaric tribes fear power but not virtue. Only strong force can make them behave themselves. Otherwise, they will act more and more excessively as they did before.

Ning Tianbao and Ning Zhongyu both used the wrong approach. They shouldn't have been so accommodating to these barbarian tribes. Not only did they fail to solve the problem, but it made the problem bigger.

After dealing with the envoys of these mountain barbarians, Lu Changjing once again showed his procrastination style and was ready to keep delaying the matter until the day when news of victory came from the southwest.

After Imperial Concubine Rong Xiyao left, Little Overlord Lin Yixin came over impatiently and asked about the Seven Saint Ladies of the Mountain Barbarians...
