And this savage actually has a pretty good physique.
But that's not the point at all!
He took care of her for half a month, and she will take care of him for the rest of her life to repay him!
Meanwhile, the Queen and Yuan Xin'er were completely oblivious to Yuan Yanxi's thought process. They were overjoyed that she was willing to marry, and they were willing to accept her even if she was a disappointment!
The wedding preparations began in earnest.
However, it wasn't until the preliminary preparations were almost complete that they realized they hadn't yet asked Yuan Yanxi which young master she had found her sweetheart.
King Beishang and Queen immediately summoned the person to inquire.
Yuan Yanxi: "...Um, he's a reclusive master!"
"A hermit?" King Beishang asked in confusion.
"A master?" Queen Beishang asked, puzzled.
But Yuan Yanxi herself really couldn't remember where the bamboo house that Yu Ling built was, so she couldn't explain it clearly!
The system horse carried her at least ten kilometers before returning her to Beishang. It ran off as soon as it put her down, without giving her any time to stay.
Therefore, she had no choice but to rely on the Queen's power to find her benefactor, and had to make it sound more noble.
"I only remember that it was a shady and damp place, backed by a mountain, not in my Beishang territory. There was a bamboo house there. Oh right, the master also had a horse that understood human nature! If you can find him, I will marry him!"
Yuan Yanxi spoke logically and persuasively. Since she had indeed been sent here riding a strange horse, her story had some credibility and didn't seem like a lie. The Northern King and Queen agreed.
This arduous task of finding the master she spoke of was once again entrusted to the omnipotent protagonist of Bei Shang, Feng Yi.
The protagonist, who is a growth type, is like a brick, ready to be moved wherever needed. Feng Yi has done all kinds of missions, so he had no choice but to take on the arduous task of finding his future brother-in-law and lead his soldiers on a aimless journey abroad.
Yu Ling remained completely unaware of this.
After finishing his children's weddings, King Beishang felt he needed to relax. Without the goal of attacking other countries, life suddenly became boring.
At this moment, he thought of his two prisoners, namely, the King of Dongli and the King of Nanyue, who had surrendered to him after their defeat.
Before the King of Nanyue could even enjoy a few hot meals, he was escorted away by a large group of guards. The King of Dongli was not spared either, and they were both left in front of the King of Beishang.
"I've heard that you two seem quite dissatisfied with the Northern Palace, and you've been arguing a lot these past few days. If you have any grievances, why not tell me?"
Looking at the two kneeling figures on the ground, the Northern King spoke coldly, his eyes filled with icy intent.
King Dongli's hair was already a mess, and there was no extra water for the captives to wash up, so his clothes were also dusty and he looked extremely disheveled.
Even so, he still held his head high with pride.
Looking at the other party, King Dongli coldly snorted:
"There is no dissatisfaction."
The King of Nanyue knew that this was directed at him, but he lost his mind when he was hungry. However, it's not shameful to beg for food, is it?
"Everything else is fine, it's just that the food delivery is a bit unreliable," the King of Nanyue said in a simple and honest manner.
The Northern King scoffed: "Do you think my Northern Kingdom is some kind of market stall, picking and choosing?"
"King Beishang, our kingdoms of Dongli and Nanyue have always maintained peaceful relations with your Beishang kingdom. However, your Beishang kingdom has sent troops to attack us, not only annexing our two kingdoms but also forcing our people into labor. Now, you have even insulted our two former kings! You have gone too far!"
King Dongli was much more cultured. Treating former kings well was a tradition throughout history, and he wasn't afraid that Beishang would kill him.
Upon hearing this, the Northern King burst into laughter:
"King Dongli, you are truly naive. A former king? You're nothing but a prisoner. If you were stronger than me, how could you have fallen to this state? Besides, if you, Dongli, were the powerful one, could you guarantee you wouldn't follow the same path as me, Beishang?"
Upon hearing this, King Dongli turned pale, unsure of what to say in rebuttal, and could only lower his head in silence.
The Northern King summoned his guards and, with a mix of force and coercion, led the two to the Northern Prison, while he himself leisurely introduced them to the visitors.
This secret prison holds criminals who have offended the royal family, as well as righteous citizens from both countries who have repeatedly tried to assassinate them. They are being executed one after another, barely clinging to life with no way out.
The King of Dongli and the King of Nanyue were increasingly alarmed. Although they had done similar things themselves, they still could not accept it if it happened to them.
"See that? Now that you've become prisoners, why bother clinging to your old dignity? You might as well submit obediently. Otherwise... if I find out you have any illusions about turning the tables, I'll make you understand what it truly means to wish you were dead!"
After saying this, King Beishang waved his hand, and the guards immediately dragged the two people out.
Although the two were unwilling, they had no strength to resist and were eventually dragged out.
Seeing the two of them in such a disheveled state, the Northern King smiled.
Not only did I unify the three kingdoms, but I also got to enjoy threatening the two kings. What a wonderful feeling!
After the reigns of King Dongli and King Nanyue, things did indeed calm down considerably, but it was probably not so much because of the threat. The main reason was that the princess stopped running away and they had eaten their fill.
Feng Yi is staying at an inn, the first place Yuan Yanxi stayed when she was brought here. From there, you can see the desolate scenery outside. This is the outermost city of Beishang.
Feng Yi's personal attendant looked at the endless expanse of yellow earth outside and couldn't help but swallow hard. In all these years, he had never seen such a desolate scene.
He couldn't help but ask:
"General, where do we go next?"
"Give the order first: two people per team, conduct a large-scale, dispersed patrol in the vicinity. Take paper and pen and write down simple maps of the places you will pass through. Remember, don't get separated. You must meet here before sunset!" Feng Yi said.
The attendant accepted the order and left.
Feng Yi didn't believe Yuan Yanxi's words were true. It wasn't his family who were eager to get married. An outsider's perspective is clear, and he was naturally not as easily fooled as the Northern Prince.
He wouldn't have taken on this ambiguous mission if it weren't for putting his wife at ease.
After instructing his underlings to go to work, Feng Yi, who had been slacking off, also felt bored and decided to take a stroll through the prisoner-of-war camps three or five cities away.
I heard that General Yi Lanbin was assigned there.
As luck would have it, Yu Ling didn't go to the bamboo house today. As soon as Feng Yi arrived, he was caught red-handed in Liu Molian's small wooden house.
After that, Yu Ling had no choice but to start maintaining her persona with a blank expression.
After Feng Yi had been rambling on about how great his life was, and seeing that Yu Ling didn't react, he finally started telling her interesting stories about Bei Shang.
This includes the story of Princess Yuan Yanxi, who not only escaped multiple times but also secretly found a sweetheart to live with in a secluded bamboo house.
Yu Ling didn't pay much attention at first, but the more she listened, the more familiar it sounded, and the more she felt something was wrong. Finally, when she heard Feng Yi say that he would get married once he found someone, she couldn't sit still anymore.
"General Feng, please explain more clearly. Who does the Princess say she wants to marry?"
“A reclusive master,” Feng Yi said.
Yu Ling was terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat. A reclusive master? Was he sure it wasn't this jungle savage? Why did the bamboo hut and the horse combination seem so familiar?!
