"During the war, countless civilians died in the chaos. How many times did the elderly bury their children?"
"It has taken many years, under the leadership of His Majesty, no, under the leadership of the entire Jin family, to reach this point and achieve the prosperity we enjoy today!"
"Tell me how much effort we've put in? Now, just when we're about to make great strides, disaster strikes again. Japan is causing chaos, and Qin Ze is plotting a rebellion. These people and these events have poisoned the lives of countless people, leaving them destitute!"
"Can you just ignore this? If your mother were still alive, she would surely say the same thing to me."
"Tell me yourself, will you marry him or not?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Qing's cold gaze went straight to Jin Changge.
Looking into his father's sharp eyes, Jin Changge opened his mouth, but after a long while, he uttered a single word with trembling hands.
"marry."
Upon receiving the answer, Prince Qing's expression softened slightly. Seeing his daughter's deathly pale face, he walked to Jin Changge's side, patted her shoulder, and said:
“Yongning, I know what you’re thinking. You’ve lived in the capital since you were little and have never been far from home. You’ve never shown any respect to men, so it’s natural that you’re afraid of getting married.”
"But you don't need to worry too much. You are my daughter, and your father will naturally think of you. As a princess, you represent the royal family of Daqian. Marrying Wu Kui is his blessing, and he will not dare to neglect you."
"If you suffer even the slightest grievance in the Southern Barbarian lands, just tell me, and I'll teach Wu Kui a lesson! Hehe."
Jin Changge no longer cared about these words. She bit her lip, forced a smile, and said:
"Father, then... then... when will I get married?" Jin Changge's voice trembled violently.
Prince Qing squinted, pondering in his heart.
Before the Southern Barbarians conquered the Northern Liang, it was definitely not advisable to let the daughter marry into that region.
After all, what's the point of marrying Yongning off if she hasn't made any contributions?
The distance between the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Liang is quite far. These barbarians are physically strong and different from ordinary soldiers. If they were to travel to the Northern Liang by having the cities along the way prepare food and fast horses for them, it would still take about a month.
Although providing them with this logistical assistance is necessary, it is worthwhile.
After all, the reason for choosing to leverage the strength of the Southern Barbarians to launch an attack on the Northern Liang was to divide the Southern Barbarian forces in two.
If troops are gathered in one place, and the army becomes strong and powerful in the future, trouble is bound to arise.
This trip to Beiliang will require a large contingent of troops to be stationed in the southern barbarian lands. It wouldn't be a bad thing if they were allowed to garrison Beiliang in the future. As long as they are dispersed, it will be much easier to govern them in the future.
Of course, since they had chosen to marry their daughter off to the southern barbarians, they wouldn't just send her there alone.
Yongning, being a member of the Jin family, was sensible and brought some of her own people with her when she married. Over time, she would gradually assimilate these barbarians from within and make them work for her, thus creating a fighting force in the future.
Thinking of this, Prince Qing smiled faintly and said, "No rush, it may take several more months."
"What? Now that I've said it, you're getting impatient?"
"I've met Wu Kui before. He's tall and strong, and although his appearance isn't exactly handsome, he's still a hero in his own right. You once said that you would never choose a husband who couldn't beat you, haha."
“You are definitely no match for Wu Kui.”
Upon hearing this answer, Jin Changge bit her lip and sighed inwardly.
"Yongning, don't think too much. Just stay home and behave yourself during this time. On your wedding day, your father will definitely make sure your wedding is a grand affair! Hehe."
Hearing his father's laughter, Jin Changge clenched his fists tightly, unable to utter another word.
