Chapter 348: What he said made sense, but she was speechless

"Jing, is this your hometown?" Yueying looked at the residents of Fuso Island with some curiosity.

"No, but this also belongs to our Daxia territory." Lu Jing replied in a slowed-down tone.

"Oh." Yueying didn't ask any further questions.

When Lu Yao learned that her brother had returned, she was so excited that she ran over to greet him with her child in her arms.

"Imperial elder sister." When Lu Jing saw his sister, his eyes became moist.

"I'm glad you came back safely." Lu Yao smiled.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Come on, have a good chat with your sister."

Lu Jing nodded and looked at Yue Ying beside him.

"You can go play with Su Jiaojiao first. I'll talk to my sister for a few minutes and then I'll come find you, okay?"

Only then did Lu Yao notice the woman next to his brother.

This woman is obviously not from Daxia.

Her brown skin had a healthy glow, her eyes were big and round, and her hair was thick and curly. She looked like an energetic pony.

She had a few brightly colored feathers stuck in her hair and a beautiful gem on her belt, and she seemed to come from a well-off family.

"Who is this?"

She couldn't help but ask.

"Her name is Yueying. She is the granddaughter of the priest of Askar City and my future imperial consort." Lu Jing's words shocked her.

"What did you say?" Lu Yao subconsciously tightened her arms around her son and her face changed drastically.

The child felt uncomfortable and began to whimper and twist.

When the prince consort Pei Zhiyu came over and saw this scene, he quickly held his son in his arms.

No one knew what the eldest prince said, but it actually made the usually good-tempered princess so angry that her face changed color.

"Where is that Yamer city-state?" Lu Yao looked at his brother in disbelief.

"It's a new continent we discovered during our voyage. It's completely different from our Great Xia." Lu Jing explained.

"You want to marry her, do you think our father will agree?" Lu Yao had a headache.

The last time my brother brought back a woman was a vixen, and this time he brought back a foreigner.

If I had known this earlier, I would have decided on the prince's wife for him earlier.

"At least she is a human being. Father should agree." Lu Jing answered in a low voice, without much confidence.

Lu Yao: ...

What he said made so much sense that she was speechless.

"Besides, the prophecy only says that foreigners with white skin, yellow hair and blue eyes are the enemies of our ancestors, but Yueying has brown skin and black eyes. She is clearly the same kind of person as us and is not a foreigner. The emperor will agree." The more Lu Jing spoke, the more he felt that this was true.

"Besides, if the emperor disagrees, we still have Xiaojiu. Anyway, the emperor listens to Xiaojiu. As long as I can convince Xiaojiu, why should I worry about the emperor's objection?"

Lu Yao: ...

Why didn't she realize before that her brother was so eloquent?

Could it be that his eloquence was developed from persuading the leaders of those tribes?

"Will your father disagree with us being together?" Yueying asked word by word.

She doesn't speak Daxia Mandarin well, so she speaks very slowly.

"No, he will agree, you don't have to worry." Lu Jing hurriedly comforted her.

"The king and the priest have witnessed our marriage, and I have sworn before the gods that I will only marry you in this life. I will never change my mind."

"Well, I believe you." Yueying smiled brightly.

King?

priest?

Lu Yao felt something was not right after hearing this.

"Come here and explain the whole story to me in detail." She frowned and looked at Lu Jing.

"Wait for me." Lu Jing patted Yueying's hand gently and followed the eldest sister into the house.

As soon as the door was closed, Lu Yao's questions popped up one after another.

"What is the New Continent? How did you two know each other? I heard you say that you are married? You are doing this in a secret relationship. How could you do this?"

"Imperial sister, I know you are very anxious, but please don't be anxious yet." Lu Jing tactfully poured a cup of tea for his sister to help her calm down.

"How can I not be anxious? You and I are from the same mother. Our mother died early, and an elder sister is like a mother. How can I not worry about you?" Lu Yao took the tea and took a sip sullenly.

"I know you are worried about me. But you have too many questions, and I have to answer them one by one." Seeing that she was not so angry anymore, Lu Jing told her what had happened one by one.

After they set out, they headed eastward, relying on the stars, compass, and ocean currents to determine their direction. After drifting on the sea for a long time, they did not see a single inhabited island.

It wasn't until three months later that they finally saw a fire at night.

They joyfully sailed the boat to the shore and found that it was land, not an island.

It's a brand new place.

"And then?" Lu Yao listened attentively.

"Then we wanted to dock, but we were stopped. We couldn't communicate with them because we couldn't speak the same language. I could only smile at them in a friendly manner as Master Qu had instructed."

Having said that, Lu Jing rubbed his cheeks.

It has been so long, and he still feels his cheeks ache whenever he thinks of those days.

I laugh so much every day that my face is almost stiff.

They used their hands and feet, gestures, and their bright smiles finally made the people in that place let down their guard and think that they had no bad intentions.

They tried to exchange the porcelain and tea they took out with the people there for things they had never seen before.

Lord Qu has instructed us to bring back more agricultural products that Daxia doesn't have. Whether the people of Daxia can fill their stomachs depends on him.

Lu Jing felt the burden on his shoulders was heavy.

But the language barrier was a big problem. He helloed a few words in the bird language taught by Mr. Qu, but the other person had no idea what he was saying.

They took things and wanted to exchange them, but all they got in return was some dried meat.

They didn't get what they wanted.

Lu Jing was almost dying of anxiety.

At this moment, Su Jiaojiao suddenly had an idea. She changed into her original form and quietly went ashore, wanting to find some of her kind on the shore to communicate.

Unexpectedly, she also failed.

The animals don't speak the same language as them!!!

Everyone was very depressed.

They couldn't exchange anything, and they couldn't launch the "Nine Princesses" right away. After all, there were lush forests everywhere here, and the humidity was too heavy. It was even a question how many of the bombs that had crossed the ocean could be ignited.

If they rashly start a war, they may suffer losses.

Just when they felt hopeless, a white-haired old man was helped out.

The old man's beard and eyebrows were both snow-white and very long. He looked kind and full of mystery.

He slowly asked, "Where are you from?"

Lu Jing and others were stunned.

They can understand what this old man says!!!

It just takes some effort, after all, the old man speaks with an accent.
