This also made Yelv Nanyan once again feel the charm of the North Prince, a man who could keep the harem so harmonious was rare, not to mention Great Sum, even the harems of the Barbarian Tribes on the steppes were full of intrigue and strife.

It reminded Yelv Nanyan of her childhood, when her mother, as a member of the Barbarian Tribe’s harem, would often suffer the insults of other Barbarian women.

Enduring insults from other Barbarian women was one thing, but even the Barbarian Tribe’s King would beat and kick her.

At that moment, the harmonious scene in the North Court made Yelv Nanyan wish time could stop at this very instant.

A few days later.

In the camp of the North Fre King, the royal court.

An old man with a large beard, wearing a fur coat, his skin layered with grime, sat upon the throne.

This throne had been brought back by the soldiers of the North Fre King from the former royal court of the Sky Wolf Tribe.

And the man sitting on the throne was none other than the North Fre King.

At this time, the North Fre King had an extremely ugly look on his face; it was as if he was constipated, with dark skin reddening with anger, an appearance of furious indignation.

The North Fre King was roaring at this moment.

“I lent so many soldiers, and to think they were defeated, defeat is one thing, but they even moved the entire Sky Wolf Tribe to North City!!!”

“What do they take me for!!!”

He had originally felt some schadenfreude upon hearing the news of the Sky Wolf King’s defeat, as he had long set his sights on conquering the Sky Wolf

Tribe.

The Sky Wolf King had always been dominant in the North Land, and his tribe would have to take a detour upon encountering the Sky Wolf Tribe. Now, seeing the decline of the Sky Wolf Tribe, he had wanted to consume it and become the most powerful Barbarian Tribe in the North Land.

Most importantly, the North Fre King had always been fixated on the Sky Wolf

King’s wife and Xiao Wenyao.

Just the thought of those two great beauties made the North Fre King’s mouth water uncontrollably, and the moment he heard of the Sky Wolf King’s defeat, he had already considered the two women his own.

But when his soldiers arrived at the Sky Wolf King’s royal court, the people of the Sky Wolf Tribe had vanished without a trace. Moreover, he heard that Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao had been captured and taken to the Prince’s Mansion by that brat from the south.

Knowing well what those two great beauties would face in the Prince’s Mansion, how could the North Fre King, as a man, be oblivious to that? The thought of the cooked duck flying away left the North Fre King especially infuriated.

At that time, one of his subordinates in the royal tent suggested, “Great King, why don’t we attack North City, and make that little whelp hand over the Sky Wolf King’s wife and the Sky Wolf King’s daughter!”

As soon as these words were spoken, another Barbarian General also chimed in, “Exactly, not only should we make that brat hand over those two women, but we should also get them to hand over all the people from the Sky Wolf Tribe! ” Hearing what his General had said, the North Fre King snorted coldly, “Three hundred thousand troops were defeated, and you want me to attack North City? If you want to die, that’s your business, but I don’t want to die!”

Although the North Fre King verbally scorned the Sky Wolf Tribe as worthless, he was no fool; North City was clearly not something their Barbarian Tribe could afford to provoke right now. To attack North City at this point would be courting death.

However, at this moment, a General voiced a particularly unique opinion. “Great King, think about it, although North City has won, to eliminate the Sky Wolf King’s three hundred thousand troops, they must have suffered heavy losses themselves!”

“Even if they won, it must have been a pyrrhic victory, and Great Sum also paid a great price. Moreover, they might still be immersed in the joy of defeating the Sky Wolf Tribe, certainly letting down their guard about the North Land. Right now, if we suddenly launch an attack on North City, they won’t have time to

react.”

Considering the Barbarian General’s analysis, the North Fre King suddenly felt there was a lot of sense to it.

After all, the Sky Wolf King had led three hundred thousand troops to attack North City; it was impossible for Great Sum to have suffered no losses at all.

Great Sum must have also lost many soldiers.

At this moment, if they suddenly launched troops to attack North City, Great Sum’s military wouldn’t be able to send reinforcements to North City for a while.

However, speaking of which, they initially gave the Sky Wolf King tens of thousands of soldiers, and now their tribe has hardly any able-bodied fighters left.

If the soldiers from the North Fre King’s tribal lands were all mustered together, the estimate is that only about tens of thousands of soldiers could be assembled.

The North Fre King pondered for a long time, then said, “Currently, the royal court only has tens of thousands of soldiers. If we send troops now, it would be disadvantageous for us. Issue a summoning order immediately, gather the Barbarian Warriors from the small tribes to the royal court. Two months from now, we will attack North City!”

At that time, a Barbarian General said, “My King, two months from now will be deep winter, taking troops south during winter might be very unfavorable for

us.”

Usually, when the Barbarian tribes raid southward, it is before winter begins, mainly to prepare enough food for winter.

It is rare for them to attack Great Sum during the deep winter.

Once winter arrives, fierce snowstorms hit the plains first. The cold is one thing, but being easily lost on the grasslands is another, even for the Barbarians who live there year-round, not to mention the challenge of dealing with the harsh winter.

It can be said that heading south in winter is a poor choice.

The North Fre King, undeterred, said, “This King intends to attack North City during winter. By winter, that whelp in Great Sum and North City will certainly think we won’t advance southward. If we strike southward unexpectedly at this time, we can catch them unprepared.”

“Then, the Great Sum imperial court will also be unable to support North City in time. Taking North City will be an easy task for us.”

“If you ask me, the Sky Wolf King is a fool, always rushing to attack North City so early every year. The people of Great Sum must have made preparations having been raided at the same time annually. They deserve to have their entire army decimated. This King will not follow in his footsteps.”

Seeing the North Fre King speak so, his Generals had no choice but to stay silent.

A few days later.

North Prince Mansion.

Today, the North Prince Mansion was festooned with lights and decorations. Upon hearing that the North Prince was to take a wife, many of the well-to-do from North City made their way to the North Prince Mansion to congratulate him.

Most people already knew that the North Prince was to marry Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao. Some thought that the North Prince was avenging the Great Sum people, since it had always been the Barbarian Tribe seizing the women of Great Sum, and at last, it was the turn of the Great Sum people to take the women from the Barbarian Tribe.

Yet others thought that the North Prince was disgracing the royal family; after all, he is a Prince, how could he marry two Barbarian women? This was clearly against the rites and rituals.

This wedding was personally managed by Mu Zixuan. Once the banquet was over, Lu Chen first went to Yelv Nanyan’s room.

Yelv Nanyan was dressed in a red robe, sitting quietly by the bed, not wearing a bridal veil.

She glanced around at the room decorations, feeling as though she was in a dream. She had never imagined that one day she would have such a wedding. From a young age, she had heard from her mother about the wedding scenes of the Great Sum people and had longed for it, too. But she also clearly understood that what she longed for was just a pipe dream, almost certainly never to happen.

What she never expected was that she would ultimately have the wedding she dreamed of.

In a soft voice, Yelv Nanyan said, “Is this really not a dream?”

No sooner had Yelv Nanyan finished speaking than Lu Chen pushed open the door and entered the room, smiling as he said, “This is definitely not a dream.”

Seeing Lu Chen enter, a blush crept across Yelv Nanyan’s face.

Lu Chen immediately came to the bedside and embraced Yelv Nanyan’s soft body, though he did not immediately proceed to the next step.

Lu Chen had spent the night with Yelv Nanyan the evening before, and he would usually leave only after exhausting all his energy with her, so at the moment, he was not in the mood for such activities.

With his arms around Yelv Nanyan, Lu Chen said with a smile, “Nanyan, from now on you are my woman, and you must bear me many children.

Hearing this, Yelv Nanyan replied with some embarrassment, “Mmm, that is my duty.”

For Yelv Nanyan, being held by this man who was over a decade her junior still felt strange, even though they had already consummated their marriage, and it still seemed odd to her.

At that time, Yelv Nanyan suggested, “Prince, since you spent last night with me, why don’t you spend tonight with Yaoyao?”
