Soon, Lu Chen came back to the place where they had just negotiated. He once again seated himself on the fur carpet and then said to Yelv Nanyan, “It seems that you have agreed to my conditions?”
“Yes,” Yelv Nanyan said, “but we have one more condition.”
“Oh, what is the condition?” Lu Chen asked.
Yelv Nanyan didn’t answer directly, but instead asked, “Does the Prince really not intend to release those one hundred thousand soldiers? If we join North City, those one hundred thousand soldiers will no longer be captives, but Your Highness’s subjects.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately understood what Yelv Nanyan meant, and then said, “I can release them, but not now.”
“I need them to do ten years of labor in North City. If their performance is good, I can release them early, and during this period, I will allow their families to visit them. If their performance is excellent, they can be temporarily allowed to return home and reunite with their families.”
Hearing this, Yelv Nanyan sighed in her heart, thinking that this was probably the biggest concession the North Prince could make.
Beyond this concession, they probably couldn’t get any more favorable terms from the North Prince.
Yelv Nanyan continued to ask, “Once the Sky Wolf King Tribe migrates into North City, how does the North Prince plan to arrange things?”
“Once you arrive in North City, you will naturally find out,” Lu Chen replied.
Yelv Nanyan asked, “Isn’t the Prince worried that our people will clash with the commoners of North City? The war has just ended, and because of this war, quite a few people must have died in North City, right? The hatred of the North City commoners towards us cannot be erased in just a day or two.”
Lu Chen didn’t discuss this topic further, only saying indifferently, “North City is vast, and the population is sparse.”
Compared with the other counties of Great Sum, North City was typically characterized by its vast land and sparse population. Even if all the Barbarian Tribes from the North Land were to migrate there, North City would still have the capacity to accommodate them.
The key was that Lu Chen would soon bring the North Land under his territory, and at that time, his territory would continue to expand northward, and there would be even more land available.
The population of the Barbarian Tribes was negligible in comparison.
As for the hatred of the commoners, it was certainly not something that could be eradicated in a short period, and it would require a long time to blend in.
Lu Chen then said, “If you have any other questions, you can ask them all at once. I can personally answer them for you today.”
After contemplating for a moment, Yelv Nanyan spoke up, “When we get to North City, I would like to see our soldiers.”
Lu Chen didn’t even need to think about it and immediately answered, “That’s possible.”
Lu Chen had actually been planning to take Yelv Nanyan to see those Barbarian Tribe captives anyway; mainly to stabilize the Barbarian Tribes and keep the captives from entertaining any extraneous thoughts.
Since Yelv Nanyan had taken the initiative to ask to see them, Lu Chen had no reason to disagree.
Yelv Nanyan then took a deep breath and said, “Thankyou, North Prince, for making this possible. We have no further issues.”
“Good,” Lu Chen said, “Since you have no further issues, then Queen Yelv and Princess Xiao will immediately accompany me back to North City.”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Barbarian Tribe elders showed an expression of immense pain, struggling with their emotions.
If the Queen left and the Sky Wolf King Tribe moved into North City, it would mean the end of the Sky Wolf King Tribe.
Although their lives might be better than before, their attachment to the Sky Wolf King Tribe wasn’t something they could let go of overnight.
At that moment, Lu Chen stood up and walked toward the Black Cavalry. Watching his retreating figure, Yelv Nanyan felt incredibly complex emotions.
She never imagined that at her advanced age, practically old enough to be considered an elder to the North Prince, she would end up as the North Prince’s woman.
Yelv Nanyan then turned her head to look at Xiao Wenyao, who had been lost in her thoughts throughout the proceedings. “Yaoyao, let’s go.”
Xiao Wenyao, stunned, asked, “Queen, are we really going to the North Prince Mansion?”
“Between the North Prince and the North Fre King, howwould you choose?” Yelv Nanyan countered.
Xiao Wenyao didn’t answer, but said dejectedly, “I understand.”
Afterward, Xiao Wenyao walked toward where the Black Cavalry was positioned.
After returning to the front of the Black Cavalry, Lu Chen said to Xiao Pengthian, “General Xiao, the matter of settling the Sky Wolf King Tribe into North City will be entrusted to you.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Pengthian was momentarily stunned.
He had only recently pledged his loyalty to the North Prince, and now he was tasked by the North Prince with this mission.
Wasn’t the North Prince afraid that he might have other intentions?
Lu Chen didn’t care what Xiao Pengthian was thinking; he said directly to Qin Yushan, “Commander Qin, didn’t you say you had some pill that could restore one’s skill? Give one to General Xiao.”
Qin Yushan didn’t hesitate; he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Pengthian, saying, “This is the Great Returning Pill. Just one is enough to help you regain your skill, and you should be able to return to the Master Realm within no more than half a month at most.”
Seeing the small porcelain bottle in Qin Yushan’s hand, Xiao Pengthian’s heart was filled with immense excitement. He had always thought he was crippled for life, and that regaining his skill would be very difficult. He hadn’t expected the North Prince to have such a miraculous medicine.
Xiao Pengthian took the small porcelain bottle from Qin Yushan’s hand and immediately said to Lu Chen, “Prince, your trust in your subordinate will certainly not be let down by me.”
Having said that, Xiao Pengthian opened the bottle and swallowed the pill inside without hesitation.
He did not even consider the possibility that it could be poison; even if it were, he would just have to accept it, for he was already crippled and had little chance of regaining his skill.
Once Xiao Pengthian had taken the Great Returning Pill, he instantly felt his skill returning to his body, and a Protective Gang Qi even emerged around him.
Although he did not know what the Great Returning Pill was, Xiao Pengthian knew that it must be extremely precious, and the fact that Lu Chen had given him such a valuable pill to consume showed how much Lu Chen valued him.
For a moment, Xiao Pengthian’s loyalty shot up rapidly, reaching 89 in an instant, nearly hitting 90.
Seeing that Xiao Pengthian had regained his skill, Lu Chen continued, “General Xiao, you should return to the Sky Wolf King Tribe with the elders of your tribe today.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Pengthian was once again stunned.
Once he regained his senses, Xiao Pengthian immediately asked, “Prince, aren’t you afraid that your subordinate might just run away?”
Now that he had regained ninety percent of his strength, if he were to be allowed to return to the Sky Wolf King Tribe, some people would probably just take to their heels and never come back to North City again.
Xiao Pengthian did not understand why Lu Chen was so confident in him.
Lu Chen said with a smile, “It’s the same as before. If you think you can escape, you’re welcome to try.”
With that, Lu Chen walked over to his horse and swung himself into the saddle.
At that moment, Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao approached the Black Cavalry.
Wenren Lie led two horses over and said to Yelv Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, “Ladies, please!”
Hearing Wenren Lie call her “Lady,” Xiao Wenyao’s face instantly turned a shade rosier; she stole a glance at Lu Chen who was already on his horse.
Xiao Wenyao did not believe that Lu Chen intended to marry her, nor did she consider herself marrying Lu Chen.
In Xiao Wenyao’s view, she was just Lu Chen’s slave.
Xiao Wenyao had grown up on the grasslands, which had shaped her understanding of the world.
In the grasslands, the vanquished were always slaves; there was no room for human rights there.
Yelv Nanyan did not think too much about it; she swiftly mounted her horse.
Once Yelv Nanyan was on horseback, Xiao Wenyao came back to her senses and quickly mounted her horse as well.
Being a slave was better than being married to the North Fre King, an old fool who devoured people without even bathing.
With that thought, Xiao Wenyao accepted her fate and implanted in her mind the identity of being the little female slave of North Prince.
From now on, the North Prince was to be Xiao Wenyao’s master.
At this time, Xiao Pengthian looked at Xiao Wenyao and then said, “Yaoyao, your uncle is going back to the tribe for now, I’ll come and check on you after a while.”
Upon hearing this, both Xiao Wenyao and Yelv Nanyan were taken aback.
They had not known beforehand about Lu Chen’s plan to let Xiao Pengthian return to the Sky Wolf King Tribe.
When she recovered, Yelv Nanyan’s beautiful eyes were fixed on Lu Chen’s back, as she tried to see through this young man.
