Chapter 151: Then I’ll definitely help you punish Nanyan more (Part 2)

Lu Chen had killed her father, the king, but in doing so, he had avenged her. Of course, there was another reason why Xiao Wenyao was particularly grateful to Lu Chen: he had helped her escape a life of suffering. She would no longer have to marry the North Pre King, that dreadful old man who devoured people and never bathed.
Although “North Fre King” and “North Prince” differed by only one character in their titles, the difference between them was as vast as heaven and earth.
She would rather expose her wealmesses to Lu Chen every day, letting Lu Chen scoff at her, than marry the North Fre King and become his queen.
The North Fre King’s queens had died in such numbers that she couldn’t even count them. If she married the North Fre King, she couldn’t imagine the treatment she would endure.
Besides, life in the North Prince Mansion was something she had always longed for. Since arriving at the mansion, her days had been much more comfortable than those on the grasslands.
Of course, there was a downside to living in the North Prince Mansion—it wasn t as free. She couldn’t run around wherever she wanted and had to stay in the mansion every day. She couldn’t even go out riding whenever she wished.
Thinking about it, she was now nothing but a female slave to the North Prince. How could Lu Chen possibly let her run around? What if she tried to escape? Although, she wouldn’t really try to escape at all.
Hearing Xiao Wenyao’s words, Lu Chen’s mouth curved up slightly. He couldn’t be happier with her thinking this way after all, he had also been concerned that Xiao Wenyao might harbor resentment towards Yelv Nanyan.
Now that both women were his, constant conflict in his harem, with mutual hatred, would certainly not be a pleasant situation for him.
Xiao Wenyao being able to let go of her hatred for Yelv Nanyan filled Lu Chen with joy.
At that moment, Xiao Wenyao, with blushing cheeks, said, “Moreover, the Prince has already punished Nanyan for me. Even if I had any anger, it has dissipated.”
Lu Chen instantly understood the punishment Xiao Wenyao referred to and followed up with, “Then from now on, I’ll make sure to punish Nanyan more for you, to vent your feelings.”
“I… I thank the Prince,” Xiao Wenyao replied embarrassingly.
Hearing Xiao Wenyao’s consistent reference to herself as a female slave, Lu Chen laughed and said, “You are also considered a concubine I have taken in. Why do you so enjoy considering yourself a female slave?”
As he spoke, Lu Chen leaned in close to Xiao Wenyao’s ear and said in a low and magnetic voice, “Could it be that you want me to treat you like a female slave?”
As his voice trailed off, Lu Chen blew into Xiao Wenyao’s ear, and she immediately felt her body break out in goosebumps.
Xiao Wenyao was about to speak when suddenly Lu Chen wrapped his arms around her and turned her over. She hurriedly said, “My Prince, I…”
Xiao Wenyao hadn’t finished her sentence when she was cut off by Lu Chen, “Since you love acting like a female slave, then I’ll let you know what a female slave must do. Especially since that vixen next door has been frightened away by me and dares not return.”
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Xiao Wenyao instantly felt an ominous premonition and urgently said, “My Prince, I… mmm…”
Before Xiao Wenyao could finish, Lu Chen again silenced her mouth.
When Lu Chen went to his study, it was almost night, and a certain person who claimed to be a female slave had completely collapsed. In the end, it was Yelv Nanyan who had the maids come in to take care of her.
As soon as Lu Chen arrived at the doorway of his study, he saw the cold and detached Bai Qingqing waiting at the door.
Seeing Lu Chen approaching the study, Bai Qingqing immediately bowed and said, “This servant greets the Prince.”
Having completed the formalities, Bai Qingqing then said with an expressionless face, “Commander Qin has been here, and he brought intelligence from the North Land; he reminded you to remember to look at it.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was momentarily taken aback.
He had intended to tease the ice-cold beauty before him, but as soon as the intelligence from the North Land was mentioned, Lu Chen immediately lost the inclination to do so.
What important intelligence could there possibly be from the North Land now?
This made Lu Chen somewhat curious.
At present, the entire North Land only had the North Fre King’s slightly larger barbarian tribe, right?
Lu Chen immediately entered the study, picked up the intelligence sent by Qin Yushan, and looked over it carefully.
Reading the content of the intelligence, Lu Chen was somewhat dumbfounded.
The intelligence stated that the remnants of the Sky Wolf King’s tribe who had stayed on the grasslands were found by people from the North Fre King’s tribe, who then issued them a summons to join in attacking North City during the winter.
The result was that the people from the Sky Wolf King’s tribe immediately objected, since it was their king’s attack on North City that had ultimately led to the entire Sky Wolf King tribe being absorbed by North City, and they had continued their nomadic lifestyle on the grasslands precisely because they did not want to join North City.
So when the North Fre King issued a summons at this time, intending to attack North City again, they thought it was a joke; they certainly did not want to perish in North City.
Some barbarians from the Sky Wolf King’s tribe immediately ran to North City and informed Xiao Pengthian of the North Fre King’s plan to muster a large army to attack North City in the winter. Xiao Pengthian quickly ordered the Brocade Guard to deliver this intelligence to the North Prince Mansion.
Lu Chen was somewhat speechless.
The North Fre King planning to attack North City in the winter?
Was there something wrong with his brain?
In the past, when the barbarian tribes headed south, it was mostly to snatch some food for the winter before the cold set in, and to capture some women to take back with them.
Once winter arrived, blizzards would howl across the grasslands, making troop movements extremely difficult. The Sky Wolf King’s tribe dared not wander about in the winter in the past, yet the North Fre King now had such audacity. However, on second thought, if the North Fre King really did come, especially in two months, then he would absolutely welcome it.
Now the entire North Land was left with only the North Fre King’s powerful barbarian tribe; once the North Fre King was dealt with, the rest of the barbarian tribes in the North Land would be small and not worth fearing, making it easy to subdue them all.
Lu Chen had actually long thought about when to deal with the North Fre King’s tribe, but it was just a thought.
Attacking the North Fre King’s tribe presented one major difficulty: they were not very familiar with the grasslands. Of course, among the captured barbarian soldiers, there were members from the North Fre King’s tribe who could lead the way, but now the North Fre King’s court would have definitely already left its original location.
The grasslands of the North Land were simply too vast; finding the North Fre King’s court in a short period of time was not an easy task, and a rash advance into the grasslands with troops could lead to being encircled by the barbarians there.
But now it was different; the North Fre King was planning to attack North City in the winter, and this was the best opportunity to take down the North Fre King. Lu Chen would definitely not miss this chance.
The thought of the North Fre King walking into the trap made the corners of Lu Chen’s lips almost reach the back of his head with glee.
The North Fre King really was a talent, and for a long time afterwards, Lu Chen could not figure out how the North Fre King came up with the idea of leading troops south to attack North City in the winter..
