Chapter 268 What happened to Nanzhao?

After returning to the village, Ning Quan said goodbye to Sikong Ming, and then took Sikong Ruo back to Xizhou on a three-wheeled motorcycle.

Li Yuanba stayed in Satsuma City to assist Qi Jiguang.

.........

Three days later, Ning Quan and Sikong Ruo returned to Xizhou.

After returning, Ning Quan first greeted Zhuge Liang and others, and then immediately went to the backyard

"Husband, you are finally back."

Seeing Ning Quan returning, Li Wanyue immediately came forward with surprise.

Kim Hyo-joo also hurried out of the house.

"Yeah, I'm back." Ning Quan nodded with a smile.

"Hey, Sister Ruo'er? Why are you here too?"

Seeing Sikong Ruo standing aside, Li Wanyue said in surprise.

"me......"

Sikong Ruo didn't know how to explain his relationship with Ning Quan, so he could only lower his head.

Seeing this, Li Wanyue couldn't help but feel confused.

"I'll explain this to you later. Let's go inside and talk."

Seeing this, Ning Quan coughed lightly and said.

Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly followed Ning Quan into the main hall.

"Wanyue, this is what happened..."

After sitting down, Ning Quan briefly told Li Wanyue about what happened between him and Sikong Ruo.

"Oh, I understand. So that's how it is. No wonder Sister Ruo'er was embarrassed to say it."

After listening to it, Li Wanyue suddenly realized.

"Sister, you won't blame me, will you?"

Hearing this, Sikong Ruo blushed and asked.

"Silly girl, how could your sister blame you?"

"This is great news. Sister is so happy."

Li Wanyue smiled.

As Ning Quan's wife, Li Wanyue was not concerned about how many women Ning Quan married, as that didn't matter. She was considering whether it would be beneficial to Ning Quan.

The King of Zhenbei has only one daughter, Sikong Ruo. One can imagine how much help Sikong Ruo will bring to Ning Quan once she marries him.

Moreover, she and Sikong Ruo are good friends and know each other very well.

Sikong Ruo had helped Ning Quan a lot in the past, and she always kept this favor in her heart.

Now that Ning Quan can marry Sikong Ruo, of course she can't refuse.

"Well...thank you, sister!"

Hearing this, Sikong Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile bloomed on her pretty face.

Li Wanyue and Sikong Ruo were talking, while Jin Xiaozhu sat aside and listened quietly without interrupting.

She had no say in this matter because Li Wanyue was the real wife.

Since Li Wanyue agreed, she naturally had no room for objection.

Besides, Kim Hyo-joo is not a petty person.

As a princess of Silla, she was educated in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and she would not object to anyone Ning Quan married.

"Sister, I'll be in your care from now on."

Sikong Ruo looked at Li Wanyue again and expressed gratitude.

"Sister, what are you talking about? We are good sisters."

"Come, let me introduce you, this is the third wife, Kim Hyo-joo."

Li Wanyue smiled and introduced Jin Xiaozhu to Sikong Ruo.

“Hello, sister!”

Sikong Ruo quickly stood up and bowed slightly.

"You're welcome, sister. Please sit down."

Jin Xiaozhu also smiled gently, stood up and took Sikong Ruo's hand.

Ning Quan was very happy to see the three women getting along harmoniously, and he could feel at ease.

"Husband, you just said that you want to hold the wedding as soon as possible, right?"

"Leave this matter to me. I promise to do it beautifully."

Li Wanyue said with a smile.

"Well, everything is troublesome for you, ma'am."

"I just got back and I do have a lot of things to deal with."

Hearing this, Ning Quan nodded.

"Don't worry, my dear husband. I will definitely do my best to satisfy you and my sister."

Li Wanyue promised solemnly.

"Well, that's good." Ning Quan nodded with a smile.

"Oh, my dear, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare dinner right away."

"After eating, I will arrange a room for my sister so she can have a good rest. You must be very tired after traveling all the way."

"Well, that's fine too."

“Thank you, sister!”

Ning Quan smiled and nodded, and Sikong Ruo also quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Silly sister, why are you being so polite to me? We are a family from now on."

"Um!"

Sikong Ruo nodded shyly.

.........

After dinner, Li Wanyue and Sikong Ruo left to arrange a room for her.

Ning Quan returned to the front hall, where Zhuge Liang and others were already waiting for him.

He has been gone for several months, and they are still waiting for reports on many things.

“Your Highness.”

Seeing Ning Quan come in, Zhuge Liang, Li Jing and others said in unison.

"No need to stand up, everyone, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone took their seats one by one.

"Everyone, I have just returned from Japan. I believe you all know what happened in Japan."

"Yes, we understand. Your Highness, are you planning to capture Japan?"

Zhuge Liang asked.

"Yes, this king is determined to occupy Japan. Not only that, he is determined to completely wipe out this nation."

"You don't need to ask why. Anyway, this thing must be done."

Ning Quan said in a cold voice with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Li Jing and others looked at each other in surprise.

I don't understand why His Highness made such a decision. It would be fine if he just occupied Japan, but why did he have to exterminate the entire clan?

But since His Highness said he would not ask the reason, they did not dare to ask any more.

"Yes, I obey."

"Well, then, you will prepare for this matter. I will continue to send more troops to seize Japan as soon as possible."

Ning Quan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Zhuge Liang and others received the order again.

"Well, that's good. I've been away for the past few days. Is everything going well in the three counties?"

Then, Ning Quan asked.

"Your Highness, everything is going smoothly and all construction is proceeding in an orderly manner."

"The only problem is the lack of food. We are running out of food again."

"But I heard that Your Highness has already obtained food, so this is not a problem."

Zhuge Liang reported.

"Yes, this time the king brought back another six million dan of grain. If we use it sparingly, it should be enough to last until next autumn's harvest."

"Six million koku? Great! With this amount of grain, we can overcome the final difficulties, and the people of the world will finally have a way to survive."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang said excitedly.

"Yes, I finally see the edge of the field. Didn't the military advisor say the drought would last until this winter?"

"Anything else? Has the Arabs made any moves recently?"

Ning Quan asked again.

If we were to say who poses the greatest threat to Ning Quan now, it would only be the Arabs.

The national strength of the Arab Empire was still quite strong.

"Your Highness, there's been no activity from the Arabs at the moment. They just paid the ransom for the captured nobles last month, so they're probably licking their wounds now. However, there's been some activity from the Nanzhao."

Li Jing stood up and reported.

"Oh? What happened to Nanzhao?"

Ning Quan asked doubtfully.
