Chapter 119 Arriving at the Northern Di Border
Yan State, Northern Di Border, Yan Army Camp
At the end of the vast grassland, the setting sun melted into gold, illuminating the long black tents of the Yan Kingdom with a warm hue. After days of marching, the Yan Kingdom army finally reached the northern Di border, like a resting beast, temporarily restraining its claws.
At the front of the team, riding on the majestic black jade Qilin horse, Prince Yong Nangong Ye stood as tall and straight as a pine tree, his dark uniform outlining the slender lines of his broad shoulders and narrow waist.
And in his arms, he held tightly the "Jade-faced Little Scholar" who was famous throughout the continent - Dongfang Yuning.
She was dressed in moon-white men's clothes, spotless. At this moment, she was leaning lazily on Nangong Ye's solid chest. Her little face was warmed by the setting sun, and her eyes were half-closed, like a sated cat.
Nangong Ye controlled the reins with one hand and placed the other hand domineeringly around her waist. His chin rubbed against the top of her soft head from time to time, his posture was very intimate and not at all shy.
Behind him, the black mass of Yan State cavalry followed silently.
The soldiers looked straight ahead, their expressions solemn, yet countless of their eyes were fixed precisely on the pair in front of them, their minds already filled with thoughts:
[Here it comes! Today's episode of The Overbearing Prince Forces Himself to Love the Young Scholar (Princess Version)! Live!]
[The prince is so possessive! Tsk tsk tsk, the princess's waist is about to be squeezed thinner!]
[Her Royal Highness also looks so good in men's clothing, the Prince is so lucky! ]
[It feels like the prince is holding not a princess, but a priceless treasure, and he's afraid it might get bumped!]
[Brothers, learn this! What does it mean to be a tough guy with a soft heart? What does it mean to be a wife-loving man? Textbook-level!]
[By the way, Princess, when will you bring out another little cutie to show Beidi some love? Last time, that adorable, round, plump thing blasted Minister Fuying's house, leaving only the empty space smelling like cotton candy. That was awesome!]
[Shh... stop making noise and enjoy your melons in peace! The prince seems to be talking to the princess with his head down!]
Nangong Ye did lower his head, his thin lips almost touching her fair earlobe, his voice was low and magnetic, with a barely perceptible doting smile:
"Ning'er, the Northern Di are ahead. Are you tired? Let's set up camp and have a good rest."
Dongfang Yuning nuzzled into his arms, finding a more comfortable position, and spoke in a soft, nasal voice:
"Well, it's okay, but I feel sticky and want to take a shower..."
She raised her little face and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Brother Aye, can you get a big bucket today?"
Nangong Ye's heart softened when he saw her expectant eyes. He tightened his arms again and responded without hesitation:
"Okay. I'll find it for you."
The tone of his voice indicated that if she asked for the stars in the sky, he would pick them immediately.
Yan State, Capital City, Imperial Study
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!"
Emperor Nangong Yu's hearty laughter nearly blew the roof off the imperial study. He clutched the urgent battle report, just transmitted back from the eagle over eight hundred miles away, and his face was filled with joy.
"Aye, Ning girl, and Gan'er, you did a great job! Fuying Kyoto surrendered without a single soldier! Even the emperor fell into the trap! Hahaha! It feels so good!"
Nangong Yu slapped the battle report on the imperial desk, his eyes gleaming.
"That 'Cute and Round' thing that turned the residence of Fuying's important minister into a marshmallow-smelling empty space? Little Ning's methods... are becoming increasingly unpredictable!"
He walked to the huge map of the territory, pointed his finger heavily at Fuying's position, and then slowly moved towards Beidi:
"Bei Di... Humph, you think you can rest easy just by taking in a few stray dogs? Perfect, let's take them all in! Let's create a Bei Di style section for Ning's international booth!"
Yan Country·Fengming Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce
At the Beijing headquarters, the newlyweds Nangong Yue and Shen Xiaoyun were toiling away on piles of account books and reporting documents from branches across the country.
Nangong Yue rubbed her sore neck and said with a bitter face:
"Brother Xiaoyun, my aunt and uncle are out there in the north, conquering all corners of the land and looking mighty and powerful, while we're all here, worrying about our abacus beads... I really want to go to the front lines and watch the excitement!"
Shen Xiaoyun put down his red brush, smiled gently, and poured her a cup of ginseng tea:
"Don't worry, Yue'er. The princess has entrusted the Chamber of Commerce to us, which is a great trust. The battle on the front line requires money and food. If we manage the purse well, it will be the greatest support. Besides,"
There was a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"Isn't Third Uncle (Dongfang Linyuan) currently on patrol? I heard that the Princess's drastic measures during the incident at Rock Castle in the border town last time sounded a warning to all the shopkeepers."
When the Rock Castle was mentioned, Nangong Yue immediately became alert:
"Right, right, right! My aunt is so cool! She took off her veil and revealed her identity, then took down those two parasites on the spot, and gave the whole store a free meal! Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. What a wise saying!"
Now, all the shopkeepers in various branches are trembling with fear, afraid of following in Wang Defu's footsteps? I think Third Uncle's inspection this time is to collect souls! "
Just as Nangong Yue said, Dongfang Linyuan, the third richest man in Jiangnan, was now traveling among the branches of Fengming Jiuxiao Chamber of Commerce in various prefectures of Yan Country with his capable accountants and guards.
He has a handsome face, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle. Wherever he goes, he doesn't check the accounts, but looks at the people and the atmosphere first.
"Shopkeeper Wang,"
Dongfang Linyuan sat in the inner hall of a luxuriously decorated silk shop, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. The sound was not loud, but it carried an invisible pressure.
"Have you heard about the incident at the Fuxing Hotpot Restaurant in Panshibao?"
Shopkeeper Wang, who was standing opposite him, immediately broke out in sweat and bent even lower:
"Replying to the Third Young Master, I heard, I heard! I was deeply impressed by your teachings! I will never forget the instructions of the Princess! I will operate with integrity and never cheat anyone!"
"Well, I understand."
Dongfang Linyuan picked up the teacup and blew on it slowly.
"You all know my little sister's temper. She won't tolerate any injustice, and she won't tolerate anyone using the name of Lucky Star to bully others, destroy her reputation, or undermine her kindness. Work hard, and the Chamber of Commerce will not mistreat those who are diligent and loyal. If you have any evil intentions..."
He put down the teacup with a slight sound.
"The consequences won't be as simple as being sent to the authorities. Think about what happened to old dog Yamamoto?"
Shopkeeper Wang shuddered all over and nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice:
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll keep it in mind! I'll keep it in mind!"
Yamamoto Daisuke's great feat of being frightened to death and rotting in the insect and rat room had already spread to the top of the Chamber of Commerce through special channels, becoming a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all shop owners.
Beidi Border·Yanjun Camp
The camp was pitched quickly and securely. Inside the central army tent, the lights were bright.
The most eye-catching thing was the huge, brand-new oak tub in the center of the tent! Steam was swirling around, and a few delicate flower petals (disguised as essential oils exchanged by the system) floated on the water.
Dongfang Yuning walked around the tub, as happy as a little squirrel that had found a treasure. He stood on tiptoe and kissed Nangong Ye loudly on the cheek:
"Long live Brother Aye! Where did you come from? You're so amazing!"
Nangong Ye's stern brows softened instantly, and his fingertips rubbed the place where she had kissed, as if the warmth and tenderness still remained:
"I'm glad you like it. The water temperature is just right, go wash it."
He turned and walked to the door of the tent, guarding it personally. His tall figure was like a silent mountain, blocking out all possible prying eyes from the outside world.
[Ding! Host, this system is giving you a friendly reminder. Your husband-branded Doraemon can even create a bathtub for you on the grassland. Are your skill points too skewed?]
The electronic sound of System 118 was full of sarcasm.
Dongfang Yuning quickly unbuttoned his men's suit while retorting in his mind:
[118 What do you know! This is called quality of life! Fighting is hard enough, and I can't enjoy myself? Besides, Brother Aye is happy to pamper me, what's your problem? Are you eating lemons? Sour chicken jumping feet.JPG]
System 118:
[…This system has no sense of taste. Just a reminder that the essential oil has been redeemed (-10 points). It has a rose scent and can relieve muscle fatigue.]
Host, please start your performance. Remember to close the 'live broadcast room' in your mind. This system is afraid of getting stye. 】
【Get lost! 】
Dongfang Yuning cursed with a smile and quickly slid into the warm water.
The warm water diluted with spiritual spring water enveloped her tired skin, and the fragrance of essential oils made her sigh in comfort and utter a sigh of satisfaction:
"Hmm...alive..."
Outside the tent, Nangong Ye clearly heard the heart-stirring sigh. His back stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, and his Adam's apple rolled.
He closed his eyes, forced himself to concentrate and calm down, sensing every movement around him, and diligently fulfilling his duty as the most loyal guard.
Inside the tent, the sound of water trickled, while outside, the night was silent. Only the rhythmic footsteps of patrolling soldiers in the distance and the crackling of the burning campfire formed the background sound of the grassland night.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of water stopped. The rustling sound of someone getting dressed could be heard. Nangong Ye then turned around and lifted the curtain to go inside.
He saw that his little princess had changed into a soft white nightgown, and her wet black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, making her little face look even whiter like jade, with a faint blush from the heat, like a freshly peeled boiled egg, fresh and tempting.
She was lying on the makeshift camp bed in a very ungraceful manner, humming comfortably like a lazy cat.
"Did you finish washing?"
Nangong Ye walked over, his voice a little deeper than usual.
"Um……"
Dongfang Yuning responded lazily, turned his head to look at him, his eyes watery.
"Brother Aye, my shoulders and waist are sore...it's all from riding a horse..."
Nangong Ye's eyes darkened as he sat down beside her. His warm, dry hands, lightly calloused, rested precisely on her slender neck and shoulders. His strength was just right, and his technique... surprisingly professional!
"here?"
He asked in a low voice.
"Hmm... a little further down... yes, right there... well..."
Dongfang Yuning squinted his eyes in comfort, like a cat whose fur was being stroked, and let out unconscious, small and sweet moans.
"Brother Aye... your technique is really good... who did you learn it from?"
[Beep! Host! Please be careful of your sonic attack! SSS-level lethality! The temperature in your husband's eyes is reaching a critical point! Danger warning! Red alert!]
The scream of System 118 exploded in Dongfang Yuning's mind.
Dongfang Yuning was immersed in a comfortable massage and was completely unaware of the danger approaching:
[Shut up, don't make noise! I'm enjoying it! Brother Aye has such skills, it would be a shame if he didn't open a massage parlor! If you invest your skills in my big stall, it will definitely be a big hit! Even blind massage practitioners are not as professional as him!]
Nangong Ye listened to her soft moans, felt the amazing elasticity of her skin under his hands and the warmth coming through the thin nightgown, and her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, rose and fell slightly with his pressure...
The suppressed sparks in his eyes were finally ignited by this unconscious provocation, and spread like wildfire!
His hands didn't stop moving, but even became gentler, with a hint of danger, as they slowly slid down from the shoulders, following the graceful lines of the spine, all the way to the soft waist...
When the hot fingertips with thin calluses slid across the sensitive skin on the waist with unquestionable strength and explored the more hidden curve, Dongfang Yuning was suddenly awakened from the cloud-like comfort!
“Hmm?!”
Her body stiffened and she subconsciously tried to turn over.
However, it was too late.
An iron arm, like the toughest vine, instantly wrapped around her waist, pinning her firmly in place, making her unable to move.
The clear and aggressive aura belonging to Nangong Ye enveloped her like a blizzard!
"Ning'er..."
His hot lips pressed against her sensitive ear, his scorching breath spraying on her skin, causing a small shudder, his voice was hoarse and filled with a storm of desire.
"...The massage...isn't over yet."
"Ah, Brother Aye..."
Dongfang Yuning's heartbeat was like a drum, and her cheeks flushed instantly. She finally realized the dangerous heat that was about to swallow her up.
"Don't... there are people outside..."
She tried to struggle, but her voice was so soft that she had no strength at all.
"Who dares to listen when the king is here?"
Nangong Ye's voice was filled with unquestionable dominance, but his actions became more and more affectionate.
The other hand easily suppressed her weak resistance, and the fingertips with thin calluses lingered on her smooth back, igniting clusters of flames wherever they passed.
"Be good...relax..."
His deep and magnetic voice is like the most bewitching spell, with endless pampering and irresistible.
"Let my husband...serve you well."
The word "husband", with its deliberate hoarseness and emotion, was like a small hook, accurately hooking Dongfang Yuning's heart.
She had no resistance to him to begin with, and now surrounded by his hot breath and strong tenderness, her remaining rationality instantly collapsed.
[118! Help! I'm getting eaten!]
She let out a final whine in her mind.
System 118:
[Ding! Abnormal fluctuations in the host's vital signs detected! Hormone levels soaring! Suggestion...activate immersive experience mode? This system is about to enter energy-saving hibernation. Host, please take care of yourself!]
Friendly reminder: In the third drawer of the bedside table (if you have one), there's a system-produced 'Post-Repair Essence' (50 points). Remember to redeem it! Bye! (System goes offline at lightning speed sound effect)]
[Hey! 118! You're such a disloyal person! You're deserting the battlefield! I'll dock your salary!]
Dongfang Yuning was frantic inside, but her body's reaction was very honest. Her tense body gradually softened under Nangong Ye's skillful teasing, turning into a pool of spring water.
Inside the tent, the flickering candlelight lengthened the entangled figures, casting them on the tent wall, creating hazy shadows that were intriguing.
Low gasps and tiny sobs intertwined together, like the most moving nocturne, with endless ambiguity and tenderness, but always maintained on that subtle line, leaving only infinite lingering and charming spring love.
Outside the tent, the night wind seemed to have become much gentler, tactfully bypassing the royal tent that exuded a sweet scent.
The patrolling soldiers looked straight ahead and walked even more lightly, but the glances they exchanged with each other were filled with understanding of "as expected", "The prince is mighty", "The princess has worked hard (?)" and... the satisfaction of having another chapter in the storybook "The Domineering Prince's Forced Love" in their heads.
That night, the starry sky over the Beidi grassland was exceptionally bright, and love was thriving in the royal tent of the Yan army camp.
The next morning, Yanjun Camp
The morning light of the grassland, carrying the crisp fragrance of grass, penetrated through the gaps in the curtains. Dongfang Yuning slowly woke up in Nangong Ye's firm and warm embrace.
Her body felt a little sore, but she felt a strange sense of satisfaction. When she opened her eyes, she met Nangong Ye's deep and smiling eyes.
"woke up?"
His voice was husky and lazy, like waking up in the morning. He lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Still tired?"
Dongfang Yuning blushed, buried her face in his arms, and said sullenly:
“…A little.”
Then he remembered something, raised his head, his eyes sparkling,
"Brother Aye, when are we going to fight the Northern Di? I can't wait to add new territory to my international stall!"
Nangong Ye laughed softly, his chest shaking:
"No rush. Let the soldiers rest for another day. The Beidi can't escape."
He stroked her long hair.
"Are you hungry? Let me send some breakfast in. I heard the firemen hunted some fresh yellow sheep last night."
"Okay, okay!"
Dongfang Yuning instantly became energetic.
"I want grilled lamb chops! With extra cumin and chili flakes! Brother Aye, when we reach the Northern Di royal court, can we have a bonfire lamb feast on the grassland? It would be great to have a team building experience while fighting!"
[Ding! System restart successful! Good morning, host! It seems your 'deep communication' last night was a success. Your vital signs are stable and you are in good spirits. 'Post-Repair Essence' (-50 points) has been automatically applied to you.]
System 118's electronic sound came online on time, with a hint of ridicule,
[A whole lamb feast over a bonfire on the grassland? Host, you've turned a war of annihilation into a company development exercise! The situation has been opened up! (The system displays a GIF of the Q-version Yan Jun dancing around a bonfire and eating a roasted whole lamb)]
Dongfang Yuning:
[118 Shut up! I'll deduct points from you if you bring up last night again! But the bonfire party is a great idea! Brother Aye, what do you think?]
She looked at Nangong Ye expectantly.
Nangong Ye looked at her bright and energetic face, his eyes filled with unwavering fondness:
"Ning'er, whatever you wish, do as you please. Once you conquer the Northern Di royal court, I'll use their golden tent to hold a bonfire celebration for you."
[Host, high-energy warning ahead! Your husband's skill, 'Playing Tricks on the Princes Just to Make a Beauty Smile,' has been maxed out! The Northern Di Khan wants to strike upon hearing this!]
System 118 continued to complain.
Dongfang Yuning:
[Hmph, he won't have a chance to hit anyone soon! My 'little cuties' are already horny and thirsty!]
She stroked the Heart of the Future ring on her right index finger, her eyes flashing with excitement and "nuclear kindness".
A new day, a new journey. Under the guidance of Princess Fuxing's "Armed Autumn Outing" and the unwavering doting of Prince Yong, the Yan Kingdom's cavalry is about to bring an unprecedented baptism of love to the Northern Di grasslands.
The emperor and his family members who run the chamber of commerce far away in the capital are also fully supporting this expedition full of fireworks.
