Chapter 161: Never Forget the Old Friends
After returning to the imperial study, Lu Changjing had a feeling that spring had come and he wanted to fall in love.

Although I already have ten loves, there are too many beauties in this world, and they are all different, some are charming, some are pure, some are intellectual, some are cute, some are soft and adorable... there are also those with melon-seed faces, some with oval faces, some with baby faces... even their voices are different, some are soft, some are fairy-like, some are ethereal and beautiful... there are too many of them.

There are always a few models that make people unable to stop. These models are not just a few in total, but several of each type.

We cannot blame Your Majesty for being sentimental. We can only say that Your Majesty has a broad mind, like the vast ocean, which is why it can accommodate so many beautiful women.

Moreover, there are so many concubines, noble ladies, beauties, maids, and female guards in the harem... They are eagerly waiting for Lu Changjing's care and love for years. How can he let them down?

Even if you can't love him all, you should give him more chances. It just so happens that he also wants to have more sweet love.

Then just find an opportunity to date more people. I'm sure the other lovers will understand. After all, even Rong Xiyao and Lin Yixin have personally participated in the talent show. There is no reason not to let him have a few more relationships with his old girlfriends.

When you have new people, you cannot forget the old ones. After all, many of the old ones have been waiting for you for many years, and you cannot forget your roots.

Having made the decision, Lu Changjing continued to practice. It was not safe yet. Ning Zhongyu was fine, but Ning Tianbao and the Ning royal family were still threats. He had to continue to improve his cultivation.

At least one must have the cultivation level of a god or demon, only then can one have a certain ability to protect oneself.

Only when he has mastered the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array will he be completely safe. By then, even if gods and demons come to deal with him, Lu Changjing will be able to fight.

However, in the following days, some concubines asked him to go for an outing. Since he had already promised Tan Qingyun, he could not refuse some of them, such as Rong Xiyao, Lin Yixin, Tang Qingyi, Xiao Yaoxin... Even the Empress Dowager got involved and asked him to go for an outing and enjoy the flowers, and not to stay in the imperial study all the time.

Every outing would inevitably attract many concubines, noble ladies, and beauties... In the past, even the daughters of powerful and wealthy people outside the palace would come to join in the fun, making it impossible for Lu Changjing to practice with peace of mind, and he was eager to fall in love.

Is it really because spring has come, everything has revived, and people have become restless?

While Lu Changjing was busy going on an outing, the lives of the Sakura natives, thousands of miles away, were becoming increasingly difficult.

Faced with the Pinghai Navy's expedition, more and more Sakura islands fell, and large numbers of Sakura natives were captured alive and sent to the mines and caves of the Daning Dynasty to become miners.

Even some generals and dignitaries of the Sakura clan became part of the group, making it difficult for the Pinghai Navy to catch them.

With no other options, Qi Pinghai had to summon the civilian forces from Donghai Prefecture and several surrounding prefectures to capture the natives of the Sakura tribe and use them for all kinds of dirty, tiring and dangerous work.

Even though the consumption is huge, there are too many natives to use it all.

The Sakura natives, who were originally relatively scattered, not only failed to unite under the suppression of the Pinghai Navy, but instead they had internal strife again. Even the great emperor of the Sakura tribe was overthrown and replaced by a young emperor. Of course, in order to distinguish him from the Daning Dynasty and other dynasties, he was still called the Great Emperor.

In order to seize the new emperor and use him to control the princes, the remaining generals didn't even care about the Pinghai Army. They fought each other until they were bleeding, leaving the Pinghai Army stunned.

Qi Pinghai and the Pinghai Navy were immediately furious. Who are you looking down on? We have already reached your core area, but you are still busy fighting among yourselves. No one is fighting us to the death. Are our Pinghai Navy so unworthy of attention?

As a result, the furious Pinghai Navy occupied dozens of islands in half a month and captured millions of Ying tribe natives. Some of the slave ships were unable to transport them. Seeing that more and more Ying tribe natives were captured, Daning could not use them, so it had to sell them cheaply to other dynasties and empires around it. Among them, the one that bought the most was the Huanyu Dynasty, a good ally of the Ying tribe natives.

After all, the Universal Dynasty has many mountains and mines, and it needs a large number of Sakura natives to help them mine and open up the mountains.

In just a few months, the Universal Dynasty purchased millions of Sakura natives and sent them all to the deep mountains and forests. It is said that an average of thousands of people died every day.

As expected of a good ally of the Sakura clan, he is very rude to his good brothers.

There are also the Dayue Dynasty, the Dayu Dynasty, the Swallow Dynasty further north... which also need a large number of Sakura natives to open mines and mountains, and the price they offer is quite considerable, so they can be sent there.

Moreover, in the colder areas in the north, the stench of the Sakura natives will not spread everywhere, so the price reduction caused by this will not be too great.

It just so happens that Daning doesn't want to accept too many Sakura natives, so transporting them to other places can be considered killing two birds with one stone.

However, many of these Sakura natives are unlikely to survive. Even most of the women in the Sakura tribe have a bad odor, and many forces do not like them.

Only those women who have been carefully trained by the powerful Sakura clan, who have not eaten melon shells since childhood, or even stayed away from melon shells, are qualified to trade.

What is surprising is that, I don’t know if it’s because good things can easily be raised in a stinky ditch, but these carefully trained Sakura slave girls are often of extremely high quality, which is quite surprising.

Qi Pinghai has sent hundreds of female slaves from the Sakura tribe to Baiyujing. The quality of each one is extremely good, not inferior to the beauties in the harem, and they are particularly docile, which is quite unique.

However, Lu Changjing can’t even take care of the love in the harem now, so how can he have time to care about the love in the Summer Resort? He can only leave it there for the time being.

This spring, the natives of the Sakura tribe had an especially hard time, with generals causing chaos at home and the navy outside capturing native slaves everywhere. It was definitely the most unforgettable spring in recent years.

If they had known that their invasion would bring about such retaliation, the emperors and generals of the Sakura tribe would never have taken action against the Daning Dynasty.

They also didn't expect that they had always returned with a full load from each robbery in the past and nothing had happened, but why did something go wrong this time?

The Daning Dynasty is really going too far. You didn't even warn us in advance and tell us that you were going to do it for real this time, so that we wouldn't come to rob.

The current situation is all due to the Daning Dynasty.

Even at this time, the natives of the Sakura tribe did not reflect on themselves, but still thought it was the fault of the Daning Dynasty. This was really outrageous.

Fortunately, we could receive good news from the East China Sea from time to time, which was enough to make up for the rude behavior of the Sakura natives.

Just when another general of the Sakura tribe was wiped out by the Pinghai Navy and captured to work in the mine, Lu Changjing had already traveled through this world for eight hundred days.
