Chapter 249 Yuan Jing and Kang Zhu's Marriage!
Envious voices rang out behind Balu incessantly.
"Chief, they also have jade pendants hanging from their waists."
"They also had heavy money pouches on their waists, which clearly indicated they had a lot of money!"
“Some of them even wore crowns, the leaders, which looked like they were made of gold.”
"Chief, they're wearing leather boots!"
"leader……"
Balu doubted his own eyes amidst the repeated calls of "leader".
"Quickly, go and find out again what they're here for?"
These people look like they come from wealthy families, but if they are really rich, why would they come to the Northwest to die?
Balu's men returned shortly afterward.
"Chief, we've found out that they've come to join the army!"
Balu's feelings were very complicated at that moment.
After another sleepless night, Balu went to see Shen Lanxi.
"General, I can persuade the other tribes in the surrounding area for you, but I have one condition!"
Shen Lanxi: "Speak!"
Balu lowered his eyes and suddenly said, "Our Oirat tribe wants to form a marriage alliance with you!"
With a clang, Ban Sicao slammed her teacup down on Cheng Zheng's desk.
"Old Cheng, why did you suddenly look up? You startled me!"
Cheng Zheng glared at Ban Sicao, who was spouting nonsense, and the latter quickly chuckled ingratiatingly and rolled up her sleeves to wipe the table for Cheng Zheng.
"Sorry, bro, it slipped!"
Cheng Zheng rolled his eyes at him.
Shen Lanxi raised an eyebrow and said with amusement, "Say it again."
Balu patted his mouth.
"Sorry, I got a little excited and missed a few words!"
Ban Sicao: "..." You might as well just take the whole province!
"I have a younger sister!" Balu said with an embarrassed smile.
Shen Lanxi blinked: "I understand!"
"I have many brothers, but they've all gone off to do other things. Only one of them has stayed by my side!"
Shen Yuanjing's head suddenly went blank.
How did the conversation turn to him? Are you talking about him? Did he hear that right?
Balu glanced at Shen Yuanjing beside him, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes. This person was a bit thin, his shoulders weren't broad enough, his waist didn't look strong, and his legs were as thin as sticks. He wasn't strong enough.
"General, I wonder if your younger brother is like you, born with superhuman strength?"
Shen Yuanjing breathed a long sigh of relief. No, he was weak.
Shen Lanxi: "Besides him, I also have several other brave and extraordinary brothers. They should be back in the next few days."
Balu understood.
"My sister Kangzhu is the pearl of our Oirat, the most beautiful woman in our Oirat!"
Shen Lanxi smiled and nodded, thinking that she shouldn't disgrace her brothers.
"My sister is as healthy and strong as me; she once killed a calf with a single punch!"
Shen Lanxi: "..."
Shen Yuanjing let out a long sigh of relief.
She thought things would take a long time to get better, but to her surprise, less than three days later, Balu approached Shen Lanxi again.
"My younger sister, Kangzhu, has taken a liking to Shen Xianfeng."
Shen Lanxi subtly scanned Balu's face and body before ordering someone to summon Shen Yuanjing.
Balu went to call his sister.
"Yuan Jing, have you met Kang Zhu?"
Shen Yuanjing nodded sheepishly and then recounted what had happened.
“I was practicing martial arts that day when a woman came over with a whip and challenged me to a duel. Later I found out her name was Kang Zhu.”
Shen Lanxi's eyes flickered as she said, "You've heard about Baluti's request before."
Shen Yuanjing immediately replied, "Big sister, I'm willing!"
Shen Lanxi: "The reason?"
Shen Yuanjing said shyly, "I think she's a bit like an older sister, very brave. When Zhou Yunyue saw her fighting me, she wanted to hit Kang Zhu, but Kang Zhu wasn't afraid of Zhou Yunyue and fought back directly."
Shen Lanxi looked at her younger brother with a quiet gaze.
"Marriage is not a game!"
Shen Yuanjing said in a serious tone, "Elder sister, I sincerely want to marry Kangzhu."
Footsteps could be heard outside; the Balu siblings had arrived.
Shen Lanxi looked at Kang Zhu, then at Balu. From their appearances, it was impossible to tell that they were siblings.
Remembering what Balu had said about his sister, Shen Lanxi recalled a saying: seeing is believing.
Aside from her slightly darker skin, Kangzhu has beautiful features and a great figure.
"General, this is my sister, Kangzhu!"
Kangzhu had always heard from her brother that a female general had been appointed to guard the Northwest, and she had always wanted to meet her. Today, she was finally able to meet her and was very happy.
"Greetings, General!"
Shen Lanxi nodded slightly.
I've heard about what happened between you and my brother.
"Will you marry him?"
Kangzhu glanced shyly at Shen Yuanjing and nodded bashfully.
"Yes, I'm willing!"
Shen Lanxi: "Very well, since you two are to be married off to a foreign tribe as a marriage alliance between our Great Zhou, I must submit a memorial to the Emperor of Great Zhou. After the details are explained, we can discuss the marriage arrangements further!"
When Kangzhu heard that she had to consult the emperor, her face immediately filled with worry.
"But you don't need to worry, His Majesty will definitely agree, so you can start making preparations now!" If it were her, she would not only agree to such a good opportunity, but also bestow a marriage upon him.
After hearing this, Kangzhu smiled.
"Alright, you and Yuan Jing can go out now. Your brother and I have something to discuss!"
Balu nodded to his sister.
Shen Yuanjing led Kang Zhu out the door, one smiling and the other shy.
Balu: "I'm setting off now to contact the various departments. I won't come back until I succeed!"
Shen Lanxi: "Alright, if it succeeds, I will petition the Emperor of Great Zhou to grant you all the grasslands west of the northwest, to help you avenge your family, and to let you rule over all the tribes of the grasslands!"
Baru was startled and immediately bowed and withdrew.
...
Zhou Yunyue was in a sorry state, her eyes were almost blind from crying, but no one paid any attention to her.
She is a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Shen Yuanjing actually helped a lowly servant bully her. She wants that lowly servant to die!
That lowly servant dared to seduce Shen Yuanjing. Even if she didn't like Shen Yuanjing, no other woman should even glance at him.
"Shen Lanxi, I want to see Shen Lanxi. I want her to come see me!" Zhou Yunyue shouted towards the door.
No one paid any attention to her; not even a single word came out.
They're all lowly slaves, they all bully her!
If this were a royal palace, these people would have been beheaded long ago.
She was going to find Shen Lanxi, Shen Yuanjing's older sister. She wanted Shen Lanxi to teach Shen Yuanjing a lesson and see if he would dare to look at other women again.
"What are you doing? Why are you hanging red ribbons?"
Zhou Yunyue asked a question, but no one answered. She snorted coldly and went to find Shen Lanxi in a huff.
"Shen Lanxi, those red silks are from my marriage procession. Why did you hang them up? Are you planning a marriage alliance?"
Shen Lanxi went to inspect the camp, leaving only Che Mingyuan and Cheng Zheng there.
Cheng Zheng wrote in a few strokes: "You are no longer a princess, so the red cloth is naturally for a marriage alliance."
Zhou Yunyue glared at Cheng Zheng with a grim expression: "Are you mute? If you can't speak, then make someone else speak!"
Cheng Zheng's expression turned cold.
Che Mingyuan arrived yesterday and met Zhou Yunyue for the first time.
"Is this the kind of person who abandons the people of the Northwest and refuses to go through the marriage alliance?"
