The Northern Barbarians hadn't seen them in the past few days.
Lu Yu ignored them.
After all, the most important thing for him now was to become stronger.
The young jailer helped him to give his subordinates an accent. Although the others were suspicious, they still obeyed the order and were temporarily dismissed.
Emperor Yuan Tai didn't allow them to stay in the capital, so it was good for them to be dismissed.
Lu Yu checked in at the Heaven Prison every day and was quite free.
In the past, he was tired of defending the border and could not sleep well even when he slept.
As a general, one had to remain clear-headed at all times.
However, the Heaven Prison was different.
Every morning after he signed in, he would practice the sword for a while before cultivating.
When the young jailer brought food over, he would tell him what had happened outside.
The two of them chatted from time to time.
Lu Yu then found out that this young jailer was called Zhang Qisheng, and he was only twenty years old this year.
"General, the Northern Barbarians are actually asking for a marriage alliance with the Great Zhou Dynasty under the banner of a friendly country!”
Zhang Qisheng clenched his fists and said angrily.
As for the marriage alliance, the ministers of the imperial court were half in favor and half against it.
The ministers from both sides were arguing until their faces turned red.
"These barbarians were clearly beaten up by the general, and now they have the face to mention the marriage!”
"They want our Great Zhou to marry the princess over so that the two countries can be united forever.”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly in response to Zhang Qisheng's anger.
He was currently locked up in the imperial prison and could not interfere in the court's affairs.
If Emperor Yuan Tai had any bottom line, he would not have accepted this proposal.
After all, their Great Zhou was even stronger than the Northern Barbarians!
Zhang Qisheng knew that he had misspoken and did not dare to say anything else.
The person in front of him was the nemesis of the barbarians in the past. He should be the most upset to know this news.
Zhang Qisheng clenched his fists and left indignantly.
The entire Great Zhou Imperial Court was in chaos.
Every day, there were ministers kneeling outside Emperor Yuan Tai's palace and crying.
Five days later, on the day that Lu Yu's fixed check-in reward was upgraded, this farce finally came to an end.
Ding ~ Today's sign-in is successful.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the daily check-in reward of two Nine Suns Essence Cultivating Pills and one True Essence Pill.
[Remark: The True Energy Pill is a peak fifth-grade pill. This pill can increase a large amount of True Energy for martial artists below the Connate Realm.]
You have obtained the critical hit reward of the check-in, Skyfrost Fist.
[Remark: Skyfrost Fist is a high-grade fist technique. Although it is a fist technique for close combat, its aura is shocking.]
Lu Yu swallowed the True Energy Pill.
The pill had a faint fragrance that melted in his mouth.
Lu Yu felt a warm current flowing down his throat into his body.
The higher a martial artist cultivated, the more True Qi he needed.
The Nine Yang Essence Cultivating Pill could only be eaten like candy. It was better than nothing for Lu Feng's current cultivation progress.
However, this True Essence Pill was different.
With just one pill, Lu Feng's true qi was filled to the brim, and it was even more so than before!
The Vital Energy Pill instantly replenished the Vital Energy that Lu Yu had consumed to advance to Rank One.
As for this newly signed fist technique, Lu Yu only flipped through it and threw it into the system warehouse.
If others saw this high-grade cultivation technique being treated so carelessly by Lu Yu, they would be shocked.
After all, he had to scold him for wasting a gift.
However, Lu Yu shook his head regretfully when he saw the pile of cultivation techniques in the system warehouse.
After signing in for more than ten days, he had already obtained nearly ten books of various cultivation techniques.
With his unharmed foundation after being cleansed, he could quickly comprehend the profundities of the cultivation technique.
In other words, he only needed to see these high-grade cultivation techniques once.
He could comprehend it.
His Tai Cang Sword Art had already reached a small level of accomplishment.
The other cultivation techniques were also more or less advanced.
Therefore, he focused on cultivating his sword technique every day.
Then, he would squeeze out some time to flip through other cultivation techniques.
The ethereal sword will allowed Lu Yu's cultivation to progress slowly.
Lu Yu closed his eyes and continued cultivating.
……
In the Qilin Hall of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Yuan Tai sat on the throne with civil and military officials on both sides.
"Your Majesty, although our Great Zhou's strength is not above the Nine Nations, it's still not enough.”
"But it is enough to deal with the small barbarians!”
"If we really want a marriage alliance, it's the Northern Barbarians who sent the princess over to marry us!”
A white-bearded official said unhurriedly.
Emperor Yuan Tai glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"Wen Cifu's words are wrong."
"It is precisely because our Great Zhou is powerful that we should be more generous to our allies.”
"To show the demeanor of our Great Zhou!”
Emperor Yuan Tai looked at him with satisfaction.
The courtiers in the hall lowered their heads in anger.
Their Great Zhou's borders were plagued by barbarians all year round.
The Northern Barbarian tribes treated the Great Zhou Dynasty as their granary.
From time to time, they would come to burn, kill, and pillage.
The people on the border were suffering.
The Great Zhou and the Northern Barbarians had a blood feud, and the lives of the innocent people at the border of the Great Zhou were in between!
The Lu family had been suppressing the barbarians for so many years.
Now, the barbarians basically did not dare to cross the border.
They were clearly the stronger side!
Moreover, it was the Northern Barbarians who had taken the initiative to ask for peace. Why did they want their Great Zhou to marry a princess?
After the chief assistant of the cabinet passed away three years ago, Wen Song, as the second assistant, had always been the most authoritative among the civil officials.
However, this Wen Cifu was just an ordinary person!
The Great Zhou Dynasty respected martial arts. Emperor Yuan Tai didn't even care about the high-ranking civil officials.
After all, he had the entire Great Zhou Imperial Family behind him!
Emperor Yuan Tai didn't say anything about their different opinions. He just looked at the civil official with approval.
The beauty from last night seemed to have been sent here by this official.
Emperor Yuan Tai glanced at the old cabinet assistant who was still remonstrating all day long, and the disgust in his heart intensified.
When this old man died, his henchmen would definitely scatter as well.
At that time, no one in the imperial court would dare to disobey him.
The official was pleased with himself after receiving Emperor Yuan Tai's praise.
Because of the confrontation between the two people, the people in the hall quarreled again.
Both sides had their own opinions, and the more they spoke, the louder they became.
Emperor Yuan Tai looked at the quarreling people impatiently.
Noisy!
They were always noisy!
He had a new beauty these few days.
It was a happy night.
He had abandoned a beautiful woman and came to the court to listen to a group of old men arguing.
"It wasn't easy for our Great Zhou to obtain peace. She's just a princess.”
"It wasn't easy?"
One of them suddenly choked.
"Lu…"
Emperor Yuan Tai's face turned gloomy as soon as he heard the word 'Lu'.
"Lu?"
"Lu what?"
Emperor Yuan Tai sneered." This world belongs to the Zhou Family. What does it have to do with Lu?"”
"Have you forgotten whose subjects you are?”
The Emperor's expression changed, and this made everyone in the hall stop arguing.
Emperor Yuan Tai snorted and said,""That's all for today!"
"I have my own decision regarding the marriage alliance!”
Emperor Yuan Tai flicked his sleeves and left.
The morning court session ended, and the other officials also gradually dispersed.
The official next to Wen Cifu said in embarrassment,""Teacher, let's go too."
The aged assistant minister of the Great Zhou's cabinet was already over seventy years old this year.
He was only a mortal, and his life was coming to an end.
Looking at the empty dragon throne, he sighed softly.
Angry at his lack of competition, sad at his stupidity…
But what could he do?
He was the emperor of the Great Zhou, and they were the officials of the Great Zhou!
Wen Cifu shook his head when he thought of the person imprisoned in the imperial prison.
The King of Beiyan's family was good in everything, but unfortunately, their surname was Lu!
If his surname was Zhou…
He quickly suppressed his dangerous thoughts and walked out of the hall with a bitter smile.
