Myriad Realms Summoning System
Chapter Summary
The ministers in the court did not know the details of Xiao Chen's attack on the Northern Qi Kingdom, and they did not even ask about it. Led by powerful warriors like the Six Sword Slaves, it took Xiao Chen less than a day to reach the imperial capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom from the Imperial City. Xiao Chen, along with the Six Sword Slaves and Shi Xueyue, easily sneaked into the imperial capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom.
The ministers in the court did not know the details of Xiao Chen's attack on the Northern Qi Kingdom, and they did not even ask about it.
With the current military strength of the Great Zhou, it would be a piece of cake to destroy the small Northern Qi Kingdom.
In their view, even the so-called food and grass problem did not exist, and the Great Zhou could easily win a quick victory.
The Northern Qi Kingdom's choice to surrender was also within Xiao Chen's expectations. After all, as long as their leaders were not fools, they would be able to see the situation clearly.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Northern Qi royal family actually proposed a marriage alliance. Were they afraid that he would wipe out the entire family?
Xiao Chen thought it was a little ridiculous, but when he thought about it carefully, it made sense. This kind of thing happened quite often.
Less than a day after Prime Minister Liu of Northern Qi delivered the letter of surrender to Gao Chong's military camp, another official of Northern Qi named Gong came to see Gao Chong with the decree of marriage.
Gao Chong did not delay and temporarily stopped the attack on the Northern Qi capital. He quickly sent the Northern Qi marriage certificate and imperial decree to Xiao Chen for him to decide.
Xiao Chen had no interest in the marriage proposal, after all, that was a woman he had never seen before.
But he didn't resist particularly because he had adapted to the rules of survival in this world.
In a sense, this princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty who was married off to foreign countries could be said to be his own trophy, and he could accept her without any psychological burden.
But Xiao Chen was thinking about another question.
"System, according to what you said before, there are two standards for completing the main mission of the confidante. The first is to push the other person down, and the second is to marry the other person into the harem. Is that right?" Xiao Chen asked.
The system replied: "Yes, that's right."
Xiao Chen felt a little happy in his heart. As long as you admit it, it's fine. The only thing he was afraid of was that you wouldn't admit it.
He had already calculated that the main quest of "Confidantes" required five confidantes. According to the system's standards, he already had four.
Needless to say, Meidie, Ji Yutong, and Zhen Yuer were the three people who had slept with Xiao Chen.
Diao Chan is also one of them. Although the two have not had a relationship so far, he must marry Diao Chan into the harem as queen, so of course she is also one of them.
All in all, Xiao Chen only had one mission goal left to complete, and Northern Qi just gave him the opportunity.
He couldn't possibly snatch a beautiful woman and marry her into the harem. Wouldn't that be like a scoundrel seizing a woman from the common people? It would simply lower the emperor's status, so Xiao Chen naturally disdained to do it.
However, the nature of marriage is different. Although it is essentially about snatching beautiful women, the other party is willing to send them over, and it is beneficial to strengthening the national prestige.
Why wouldn't Xiao Chen do it?
It can not only complete the task, but also promote the great prestige of the Great Zhou. It doesn't seem like a losing business at all. As for what the poor princess who was married to the foreign country thought, Xiao Chen didn't know.
If you are born into a royal family, you must be prepared to become a political victim one day.
Xiao Chen stretched lazily while sitting on the dragon chair, muttering to himself, "Since I have nothing to do in the Imperial City, why not go to the Northern Qi Kingdom and take a look?"
Now everything in the Great Zhou is proceeding in an orderly manner. It will take about ten days for the people of the dynasty to reach Longtan Mountain. Xiao Chen has been stuck in the Imperial City for many days and is somewhat bored.
So Xiao Chen decided to go to Northern Qi to relax, ease the atmosphere for the upcoming war, and also take a look at this future territory of the Great Zhou.
To be honest, Xiao Chen had never been to the Northern Qi Kingdom, and he also wanted to see how poor this country was.
"Xueyue, will you accompany me to visit Northern Qi?"
Xiao Chen called Shi Xueyue in from outside the door and said that unless there were special circumstances, Shi Xueyue would usually stay with Xiao Chen. She was his personal maid.
Since Shi Xueyue started serving Xiao Chen again, Xiao Chen has taught her a lot of martial arts knowledge. Shi Xueyue herself has good talent as well, and now she has become a three-star warrior.
She already had a good appearance, and after embarking on the path of martial arts, her temperament changed drastically.
Shi Xueyue is now a great beauty. Xiao Chen secretly used the system to detect Shi Xueyue's attributes and found that her charm value was as high as 84.
No wonder there are so many beauties in this world. It turns out that martial arts can really improve a person's appearance.
Shi Xueyue had never left the Great Zhou, and now when she heard that Xiao Chen was going to take her to Northern Qi, she was immediately overjoyed.
Just like that, Xiao Chen took the Six Sword Slaves and Shi Xueyue and left the Imperial City. They did not alarm anyone when they left.
The civil and military officials in the imperial city and the court had long been accustomed to Xiao Chen's sudden disappearance, and no one was worried. It was likely that no one in the Northern Territory could touch Xiao Chen.
Led by powerful warriors like the Six Sword Slaves, it took Xiao Chen less than a day to reach the imperial capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom from the Imperial City.
Xiao Chen did not go to Gao Chong's military camp. If he had gone, it would definitely cause a commotion in the camp.
He came here just to relax. The surrender ceremony between the Great Zhou and the Northern Qi Kingdom will be held the day after tomorrow. The military camp is probably very busy now, so it is better not to cause trouble for Gao Chong.
Xiao Chen, along with the Six Sword Slaves and Shi Xueyue, easily sneaked into the imperial capital of the Northern Qi Kingdom. This heavily guarded enemy capital did not discover them at all.
The strength of these people is too strong. If they deliberately conceal it, how can these ordinary city guards discover it?
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Capital of Northern Qi is quite interesting. It is really different from the Imperial City of our Great Zhou. However, it is certainly not as prosperous as the Imperial City."
In a restaurant in the Northern Qi Kingdom, Shi Xueyue, dressed in a white long dress and light makeup, was like a cheerful elf, telling Xiao Chen what she had seen and heard in Northern Qi in the morning.
Shi Xueyue is already very beautiful, and her current outfit makes her youthful vitality appear even more perfectly, making many men drool at the sight of her.
Today, Xiao Chen was also wearing a white robe, holding a folding fan in his hand in a serious manner. With his handsome face with clear edges and corners, he exuded a unique temperament that made people feel at first glance that he was definitely a handsome and noble young man.
There is a saying that describes it as, The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world.
Xiao Chen shamelessly used it to describe himself.
Looking at the extremely excited Shi Xueyue, Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that Shi Xueyue, who had always been quiet and gentle before, actually had so many lively genes in her bones. It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance!
"Okay, let's try the delicious food of Northern Qi. You won't be able to eat it in the Great Zhou," Xiao Chen smiled, then carefully picked up a piece of delicacy with chopsticks for Shi Xueyue.
This action made Shi Xueyue blush. As a palace maid, she actually asked the emperor to pick up food for her. It was really outrageous, but she was secretly happy.
It turns out that Your Majesty is such a considerate person.
Northern Qi was indeed very poor. The majestic imperial capital of Northern Qi was not much different from Lianyun City of Great Zhou. Compared with the imperial city, it was like heaven and earth.
The only thing we can show off is probably the delicious food.
"Everyone, get out of here! I've booked this restaurant!"
Just as Xiao Chen was savoring the food, an arrogant and harsh voice suddenly rang out in the restaurant.
This made Xiao Chen frown.
