Longevity: I want to enjoy wealth and honor in the world

Chapter 187: Appeasing the Harem (1/2)

The cold winter is not only a hurdle for the people of the Great Xia Dynasty, but also a problem for the grassland people. Not only do cattle and sheep lack fodder, but once there is heavy snow, livestock will freeze to death on a large scale.

Although it is difficult to march in the cold winter, there is little contact between the tribes of the Hu people. With the heavy snow this year, the life of the Hu people on the grassland must be difficult, without enough food. If the army of the northern border does not attack the grassland at this moment, the Hu people on the grassland will also gather troops to plunder southward in the spring.

If they cannot go south to plunder, they don’t know how many people in their own tribe will starve to death. Instead of starving to death, it is better to go south to plunder and fight hard.

This war is inevitable. Feng Tianzong wants to collect enough wealth from the grassland Hu people, and the Hu people also want to go south to the northern border to obtain enough food and wealth. This contradiction is irreconcilable.

"How many sleds did I ask you to make before?" Feng Tianzong asked. Sleds are the best means of transportation on snow, and they are much more convenient than carriages.

In order to prepare for the battle in the north grassland, Feng Tianzong had already ordered Wang Mingyuan to make preparations. Whether it is for logistics transportation or for transporting troops, it is a good choice.

"My lord, everything is ready. According to your instructions, all are wide sleds. If a large sled is pulled by an ironwood puppet, it can load thousands of pounds of things.

This thing runs on the snow, much faster than a carriage." Wang Mingyuan said with admiration. I don't know if this guy is sincere or pretending, but the expression on his face is really sincere, Feng Tianzong just treats him as sincere.

"I won't follow you this time. Let my second brother Lu Yongjin go with the army and tell General Zhang Weiyu that he will be the main force in this battle. My second brother is only responsible for dealing with those monks on the grassland and will not participate in the decision-making of the army.

This battle should try to capture people as the first goal and plunder supplies as the second goal." Feng Tianzong ordered.

"I will go to pass the order to General Zhang now." Wang Mingyuan said.

Watching Wang Mingyuan leave the hall, Feng Tianzong sent a message to his second senior brother Lu Yongjin, who had been sent to inspect various places in the northern border.

Feng Tianzong told him about the expedition to the grassland in the north, and the second senior brother agreed. However, this second senior brother had just been promoted to the foundation-building stage not long ago, and in terms of strength, he was indeed at the bottom. He only had two puppets in the early stage of foundation-building, and his combat effectiveness was still a little poor.

Feng Tianzong simply lent him the puppet Jinshi in the middle stage of Jindan. This battle in the grassland in the north was crucial, and it could only win, not fail.

If tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of slaves could be plundered and brought back, it would greatly accelerate the development of the northern border.

After dealing with these government affairs, Feng Tianzong returned to the harem leisurely. Someone had to do all the troubles, and he, the Marquis of Liaoyuan, was naturally free again.

Because of the birth of his daughter this year, he spent the New Year's Eve with Taishi Mingzhen. The two concubines and several personal maids there still need to be comforted. It is not appropriate to say comfort, at least they need to show their respect.

As soon as Feng Tianzong had some free time, Auntie Lan had already received the news and came to greet him with a smile on her face: "Sir, do you still need to select palace maids to enter the palace in the spring this year?"

"As usual. Go and notify Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing to come to my bedroom to serve." Feng Tianzong said.

Although it is the coldest time of the year now, the outside world is freezing cold, but the Weiyang Palace is warm like spring. Not only is the grass green, but even the garden is still full of flowers. Auntie Lan is only wearing a thin gauze.

This is the power of the Twelve Yuanchen Tianguang Disha Great Array. The entire Weiyang Palace is covered by the array, and the climate is pleasant. Although the energy of the array is consumed, Feng Tianzong does not care.

Now, this third-order early stage formation is still a little weak for him. At least he doesn't need the power of this formation to fight now. There are two copper spirit puppets in the late Jindan stage, which can completely suppress it.

Feng Tianzong simply uses the power of this formation to enjoy. Although the cold and heat outside can't affect him, the palace maids around him are all wearing light gauze, which is better than wearing a big cotton jacket, isn't it?

Even if the temperature of the entire Weiyang Palace is adjusted, it will not consume much energy. The biggest energy consumption of the formation is still the iron forest outside the city.

Aunt Lan whispered to the palace maids around her to invite the two ladies, and she accompanied Feng Tianzong and walked beside him in small steps. Aunt Lan, who took Dingyan Dan, is now only about 30 years old. Her skin is as tight and smooth as a girl, and she has a mature charm. In addition, as the chief steward of the palace for these years, she has spoiled so many people under her, and she still has the temperament of a superior.

She is much more beautiful than when Feng Tianzong just bought her back. Seeing her walking beside him with her head down, Feng Tianzong reached out and held her in his arms, and lifted the veil on her body: "Come, warm my hands for the master."

Auntie Lan was very surprised. Her master had not let her sleep with him for a long time. Although he treated her well, she had everything that the two concubines had. In this Weiyang Palace, her status was even slightly higher than the two concubines. She even had a share of the magical medicine Dingyan Dan.

But she still felt a little inferior in her heart. After all, her background was too low, and she felt that she was not worthy of her handsome master. She could only try her best to train beauties for the master, and it was also good to be able to do something for the master to make him happy.

Auntie Lan's eyes were full of surprise and tenderness.

Auntie Lan said softly: "It is my honor to warm your hands. I am willing to warm your hands."

What is a charming look? It means that the eyes seem to be able to pull out silk. Auntie Lan is in this state now. It's just that the ages of both parties don't seem to be coordinated, a bit like an old cow eating tender grass.

Although Feng Tianzong is a few years older than Auntie Lan, Feng Tianzong is still an 18-year-old boy, while Auntie Lan looks like she is in her early 30s.

The maids behind him saw this scene, and they lowered their heads and looked at their toes, and some of them couldn't even see their toes. No one dared to raise their heads, but just pricked up their ears curiously to listen to the movement, and their hearts were full of envy.

If I can also be favored by the Marquis, how honored it would be?

The whole team stopped, and a clever palace maid took out a piece of bright yellow silk cloth and spread it on the grass next to her. The green grass was covered with bright yellow silk cloth. Feng Tianzong rubbed it twice, picked up Aunt Lan and put her on the silk cloth.

When the weather was fine, it was more interesting to sit on the ground under the sky. The maids behind him quickly became busy. Some went to bring hot water, prepare towels, and prepare clothes. Others held yellow silk in their hands, turned their backs to the inside and formed a circle to cover Feng Tianzong and the other two.

"It's my fault that I can't let you enjoy yourself. I can still tolerate a little discomfort." Aunt Lan said with a gentle smile. While she was talking, a palace maid had come in, threw a warm towel and began to wipe the two.

Feng Tianzong looked at Aunt Lan's expression in his arms and knew what she was thinking. She just wanted to please him. He hadn't favored her for a long time, so he naturally didn't want to spoil his fun.

"You have been with me for more than ten years, and you know my character. You don't have to be like this. If you get hurt, I will feel bad." Feng Tianzong kissed Aunt Lan and said.

"For the sake of the young master, I can do anything." Aunt Lan said softly.

After the maid wiped it, she began to dress the two of them. After they put on new clothes, the two left. The battlefield just now was naturally cleaned up by the maid.

The maids behind them looked at Aunt Lan with envy. At such an old age, she was still favored by the Marquis, but the Marquis didn't even look at these girls who were in their prime. It was inevitable that they felt a little unfair.

In fact, what these maids didn't know was that Feng Tianzong still looked at them. Although these girls were also very beautiful, after all, they were beautiful girls selected from all over the northern border. There was no ugly one, and all of them met Feng Tianzong's aesthetic standards.

It's just that Feng Tianzong has seen a lot of beautiful girls now. Although these girls are beautiful, they are not outstanding enough. Among all the beautiful girls, she could not stand out and make Feng Tianzong fall in love with her at first sight.

With Feng Tianzong's cultivation, they could not find her even if he looked at her openly. If she was not outstanding enough, he would just look at her and pass by, and naturally would not look at her for more.

Soon he returned to Feng Tianzong's bedroom, and several personal maids were there, looking at him with resentful eyes. Shiqinghuayi, Chunfengqiuyue and several others were there, as well as the two new girls.

Especially Shiqinghuayi, the two of them were the first to follow Feng Tianzong. As long as Feng Tianzong was in Liaoyuan City, he usually let them follow him and serve him. Even when Feng Tianzong went to the capital of Daxia, he took them with him.

Unexpectedly, Feng Tianzong did not spend the New Year with them this year. Although they knew that Feng Tianzong had a wife, they were personal maids. Even if Feng Tianzong was with his wife, they should be served by these personal maids, right?

I have been spending the New Year with Feng Tianzong for these years, and I have long been accustomed to it. This year, I didn't spend it with him, so I naturally felt a little resentful. Although the girls didn't say anything, their eyes had already shown it.

Feng Tianzong stepped forward and pinched the face of Shiqing, the girl, and this girl's expression was the most obvious.

"Ah! Young Master." Shiqing said softly.

After being pinched by Feng Tianzong, the resentment in her eyes finally disappeared, and she was a little surprised. This girl is so easy to coax. Just like a puppy, as long as the owner strokes it twice, it will be very satisfied.

Feng Tianzong sat down on his exclusive chair, and Shiqing was the first to occupy the position next to his right leg with a smile on her face, and gently beat his legs for him. For so many years, this position has become her exclusive position. But she is still afraid of being robbed by others, and she is always the first to come to grab the position.

Feng Tianzong touched Huayi's round face again, and Huayi squinted her eyes and took the initiative to rub Feng Tianzong's hand with her face. Several little girls are easy to satisfy.

Soon they gathered around him, and some kneaded his shoulders, some pounded his legs, and some rubbed his feet. There must be a place. With Feng Tianzong's current cultivation, he didn't need these, but these personal maids were always used to finding a place next to him to show that they were still favored. Feng Tianzong had gotten used to it over the years, so he let them go.

Soon, Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing, two concubines, also came in. They had been notified long ago, but because they hadn't spent the New Year together this year.

The two women seemed to have discussed it and spent a lot of time dressing up, as if they wanted Feng Tianzong to see that they were no worse than Tai Shi Mingzhen.

Of course, this was just what they thought. If they were worse, they were still a little worse. After all, Tai Shi Mingzhen was a cultivator in the Jindan period.

"My husband, I heard that Sister Tai Shi gave birth to a child for my husband, and I want one too!" Jin Jinyun said as soon as she entered the door. The desire in her tone could not be concealed.

Of course, they also wanted to give birth to a child for Feng Tianzong to stabilize their status, but they didn't know the difference between immortals and mortals. If it was ten years ago, they might have given birth to a child for Feng Tianzong.

But Feng Tianzong didn't want to give birth at that time.

But now it's too late. Feng Tianzong has been promoted to the Jindan stage, and his life level is different. Even if he has pity for the two concubines, they can't give birth to children for Feng Tianzong.

So Feng Tianzong actually felt a sense of guilt towards Jin Jinyun and Xiang Yijing. After all, they probably won't be able to have children in this life.

He didn't say anything about the resentment they showed.

"Let's talk about the child later. Let's just go with the flow." Feng Tianzong didn't tell them the truth. The truth was too cruel, so it was better not to say it.

Feng Tianzong was going to see if he could find a way to extend their lifespans. It would be best if they could step into the immortal path. Before, when Feng Tianzong heard that beast cultivators could live longer, he actually thought about letting the women around him practice this path.

It's a pity that no matter what path it is, whether it's a magic cultivator, a puppet master, or a beast tamer, if you want to embark on the path of cultivation, you still need qualifications.

The women on his side are all mortals without qualifications. It's very difficult for them to embark on the path of cultivation. At least Feng Tianzong, who has been promoted to the Golden Core Stage, has no good solution.

However, as the cultivation level increases, the knowledge increases, and the ability increases, maybe there will be some way in the future.

Anyway, he still has time now. Several women have taken pills, and he uses magic power to change muscles and cleanse the marrow from time to time. Even if they can't embark on the path of cultivation, they can have a lifespan of more than a hundred years just by practicing martial arts.

With the effect of Dingyan Dan, his face will not age. He still has at least 70 years to think of a way.
