At night, the grassland is dotted with stars.
Lu Yun and Bai Xiaoxiao walked out of the Golden City and came to the endless grassland, lying on the dense grass and forest.
The two of them just looked up at the starry sky and the dome. Bai Xiaoxiao smiled lightly and asked curiously, "It seems that Liang Jing is more important to you."
"I'm your wife, but after we met yesterday, you've been staying with Liang Jing."
Bai Xiaoxiao sounded a bit jealous. Lu Yun pulled her arm awkwardly and explained, "No, you two are both very important to me, it's just..."
"You also know that Liang Jing has long forgotten what I look like and who I am because of the big fight we had back then."
"After we met yesterday, he seemed to have been greatly stimulated and only then did he recover his memory. Naturally, I had to accompany him."
"Why, are you jealous?"
Bai Xiaoxiao curled her lips, looking very proud and arrogant. "Who said that? Who said I was jealous? How could I be jealous? I don't care about you."
Lu Yun reached out and took Bai Xiaoxiao into his arms. Then, he gently stroked her hair and whispered, "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for helping Da Zhou in time."
"I'd also like to thank you for your care when I'm not around."
"It's been a long time since we last met, and I haven't been back to the grassland."
Bai Xiaoxiao snorted lightly and said angrily, "You still know!"
"I wrote you so many letters, asking you to come to the grassland to see me. I told you I was pregnant and had your child, but you didn't even bother to come and see me. You are such a cruel person."
Lu Yun smiled sheepishly, "Weren't you quite busy at the time?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry."
The two of them lay on the grassland, feeling extremely comfortable. It was not until late at night that they slowly returned to the palace and came to the bedroom.
Having not seen each other for a long time, the two of them naturally had a passionate relationship. However, Bai Xiaoxiao was actually a little shy. It had been a long time since they had touched each other. Her face flushed as she said, "This queen orders you to lie down quickly and be a good boy."
Lu Yun was stunned when he heard this. What did she mean? Was she ordering me?
Of course, Lu Yun had no objections and simply lay down obediently. After a while, Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly asked curiously, "You...it's been a while. Can you still fight me three hundred times?"
"Could it be that your strength has decreased? This is normal. After all, all you men are like this. Besides, with so many women around you, I'm worried that your body will be very weak."
Lu Yun was furious when he heard this. This was looking down on him. What did Bai Xiaoxiao mean? He said angrily, "Impossible!"
"I'm fine. One day I'll show you what it's like to fight three hundred rounds of real battles, and what it's like to be stuck between life and death."
"Oh, then I'd like to try and see if your power has weakened."
“…”
It was not until the second half of the night that Bai Xiaoxiao finally realized how powerful Lu Yun was. She really admired him.
She even felt a little regretful about why she spoke to Lu Yun like that.
He hasn't changed at all. He is still as skilled and powerful as before, which makes people admire him very much.
In this way, half a month has passed since they came to the grassland and returned to the Golden City. During this half month, Shangguan Yan has been training his soldiers.
Lu Yun was also not idle. He knew that it would not be easy to defeat the Han Empire, so he needed to make various siege weapons! He also needed to make explosives and gunpowder.
Cannons and other weapons must also be brought out, only in this way can we have some impact on the enemy.
However, because resources on the grassland are relatively scarce, and the Han Empire has not reopened the trade since it was closed, the resources on their grassland are becoming increasingly scarce.
In the final analysis, it is the Han Empire that must now close its doors and govern its country well. When it can reopen its doors depends on its stability.
At the same time, they did not trust the grassland very much, although the Great Zhou trusted it before, that was because of Lu Yun.
But now it is really difficult and basically impossible for the grassland to cooperate with the Han Empire, so they have no choice.
In fact, doing so will also lead to a relatively bad consequence, that is, the resources on the grassland will become increasingly scarce, and they will have no choice but to try every means to invade southwards, and they will only be able to rob the people on the border of their food, clothing, and even their lives.
There was no other way. They didn't want to launch an attack, but they didn't have enough food or clothes, so they had no choice but to launch such an attack in order to survive.
The grassland is so vast that the news of Lu Yun and his group's return has not spread!
Since cutting off all contact with the outside world, Bai Xiaoxiao has also sorted out these people on the grassland. Once any unfamiliar people come in, they will be checked immediately.
Under such strict scrutiny, spies will naturally not be allowed to sneak in, and information will not be leaked.
At the same time, in the Weiyang Palace of Chang'an City in the Han Empire.
Since the destruction of the backward countries, the Han Empire has also become strong, and for the Han emperor, he now holds great power in his hands.
However, since he gained power and had more authority, he also found that after destroying the vassal states, he had more things to manage and faced various problems every day.
"Your Majesty, a group of bandits has appeared along the coast. They are using ships to attack our people at the border. Officials at the border have been writing memorials urging us to send troops as soon as possible to help them."
The Han Emperor was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "They are just a bunch of small bandits. Why would the imperial court send troops? Don't they have soldiers at the border? There are also martial arts masters along the coast. Let them help."
"They are just a bunch of small bandits. If I can't even handle them, what else can they do? Do I keep them around just to eat my fill?"
After hearing this, the eunuch felt embarrassed to urge him any further. He just felt that the bandits along the coast were too arrogant, and any harassment from them would indeed cause some bad effects.
"I think we need to focus on how to manage the land we have now and the dike grasslands."
"Don't forget, the Empress of the Great Zhou has fled to the grasslands, and the cavalry on the grasslands are eyeing us covetously. If they don't take action now, they will choose to take action later."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. I understand."
