Chapter 181: and ===GLOSSARY=== sections

The Great Yun Kingdom was easily settled; Shen Tianzhen reluctantly left, and the one who arrived was not Shen Tianxing but Shen Tianzhen himself, which made the busy Shen Tianzhen overjoyed.

If it weren't for Shen Tianxing forcibly taking him back, he would have stayed in the Great Yun Kingdom for a while and not returned, after all during that time he had accumulated quite a few unpleasant memories.

Shen Tianxing didn't come, mainly because he was too busy; besides being busy with state affairs, there were also marital matters that his Avatar could not replace.

Of course, in reality this is an excuse used by Qin Mingyue and everyone else; mainly Yang Hongyue is pregnant, but the others aren't, so basically they're all anxious.

Of course, their anxiety isn't about vying for favor; mainly they all want to bear children for Shen Tianxing, which you can't refuse, so Shen Tianxing labors day and night, busy to the point of running around in circles.

Originally I wanted to take a break, but I was blocked by several wives and couldn't go anywhere, so I sent my Avatar to handle this matter.

Finally, after Shen Tianxing's unremitting efforts, half a year later everyone except Xiao Yu, the auxiliary system, had become pregnant.

Shen Tianxing also finally had some free time, and the Shenzhou Continent was about to complete its unification.

The reason it could happen so quickly was that the Great Yun Kingdom also joined in; it wasn't done by force, but by helping Shen Tianxing quickly gain control of the other three countries, and all the new rules and regulations formulated were thus implemented.

But this isn't over yet; you should know that the Shenzhou Continent still has a vast, boundless grassland, which is also key to unification, and the difference between the grassland and the Shenzhou Continent is that the tribes are scattered far apart.

Once these tribes are scattered, we must defeat them individually, which would be slow; unless they gather together, then we can break them all at once.

"Your Majesty, I think there's no need to wait for them to gather; we masters will all be dispatched and kill the leaders of each tribe. Then we'll select an obedient leader, and in that way they will submit to the Imperial Court."

Lei Zhenchuan was eager to show himself; his idea wasn't bad, but the nomadic peoples are different from them, and this kind of assassination could easily backfire.

First, they respect those who can defeat them in open combat with swords and spears. But respecting the strong doesn't necessarily mean submission.

Although assassinating their leaders doesn't guarantee they'll obey meekly; on the contrary, it could provoke even more vengeful retaliation. Of course, mainly even if we fight them openly with swords and spears, it's still hard to make the nomadic peoples willingly submit.

"This idea could be said to be good, but also not so good if said badly; so here's what we'll do: you masters will openly go to each tribe to challenge them."

"Try as much as possible not to kill, striving to make their leaders convinced and willing; as long as you can successfully get these tribes to submit, whoever gets more tribes to submit will be richly rewarded."

The key to Shen Tianxing's idea is openness and honesty; of course it's also extremely difficult, for even if we defeat them, outsiders may not be able to make them sincerely submit.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it's best to implement both plans together; if we really can't subdue them, then we kill them."

This was the attitude and opinion expressed by Yun Tianxia when she stepped forward; Shen Tianxing didn't find anything wrong with it, thought for a moment, nodded, and said:

"That's fine, but you may only kill when absolutely unavoidable; if killing still isn't enough, then exterminate them outright; in short, I give you one year."

"One year; the goal is to have the entire grassland submit to Great Feng. Whoever does best will be richly rewarded by me; whoever does worst will naturally be punished by me, but of course it won't be so hopeless as to deserve death, otherwise I wouldn't risk your life."

On the court, each master had a face of mixed laughter and tears, yet they still knelt respectfully on the ground.

"We subjects solemnly obey Your Majesty's order; may Your Majesty live ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand ten thousand years."

"Rise, all of you go; finish the tasks I've entrusted; before leaving, each person go get a bottle of the Great Return Yellow Elixir; this is for your life-preserving use."

"Thank you, Your Majesty; we subjects are willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty, without hesitation."

This also made them overjoyed; although each bottle only has five pellets, it's an absolute life-saving pill; even if truly faced with thousands of troops, if not resolved immediately, taking one pellet when injured will instantly cure.

After all, they're not like Shen Tianxing; his stamina is ample, his internal force nearly inexhaustible; if his stamina runs out, he can recover by eating a biscuit, anyway no matter how much killing he does he won't tire, but they will.

Shen Tianxing waved his hand, and these masters immediately and quickly retreated.

"This time I really have important matters to attend to on a trip; only Xiao Yu can go with me; you all stay in the palace to properly nurture your pregnancies; with Ru Yan present, your safety is absolutely guaranteed, and there are also enough experts left in the palace."

After Shen Tianxing returned to the rear palace, he immediately summoned all the concubines and Empress Qin Mingyue. Once everyone was gathered, his first words were to instruct them to properly nurture their pregnancies, as he himself needed to go out for a trip.

"The realm is basically pacified; didn't you say you'd take us on a trip? Why are you suddenly busy again? What's going on? Why can't we go? Is there danger?"

Yang Hongyue, with her big belly, is the one who will give birth soonest; she actually also most wants to go along, but she knows she definitely can't, yet she can't help but ask.

"Going out to sea for a trip; once the grassland affairs are settled, we can leave; I can't bring others, but I want to take you with me."

"As for the throne, I will find someone to inherit it, or say temporarily act as regent; but before leaving, I must find the safest exit route."

Shen Tianxing's words left them somewhat dazed; after all, the realm is already unified, staying here to live well is better than anything; why would they choose to leave?

"After all the hard work to unify the Shenzhou Continent, you're just leaving like that? Doing this is really hard to understand."

Only Yue Qingxue could say that; she most longs for a peaceful, good life, and now Shen Tianxing can also give her that.

Yet she indeed has to go; although she says she's willing to follow, she feels it's too dangerous and truly unnecessary to embark on an adventure.

"Who says I don't intend to live a peaceful life properly? But in the end I must leave; I'm just going ahead to scout the route; the outside world is so vast, you don't want to be stuck here forever, do you?"

You can also rest assured; once we confirm the exit route and then fully unify the Shenzhou Continent, I will take you to enjoy the Shenzhou Continent for a while, and then leave.

Shen Tianxing spoke solemnly; Yang Hongyue and the others exchanged glances, and in the end could only nod.

"Alright then, be careful in everything."

"That's right; nothing else matters; what's important is that you return safely."

"They've all said it; I don't know what else to say, so I'll just wait for you to come back."

"I want to say he's the same as them."

"What else can I say given your attitude? Alright, I'll wait for you to return; be careful in everything."

"With me here, you can go with peace of mind; they are all safe."

Hearing their words, Shen Tianxing also laughed.

Don't worry, I'll be back soon.
