"Xiaowei, pick her up, she will be your mistress from now on."
"Yes, sir."
"Haha, not bad, let's continue drinking."
It was Wang who spoke. Lu Chen's act of defeating the girl did not make Wang angry. Instead, he laughed with the other barbarians.
"Barbarians are barbaric. This is not just talk."
Shaking his head, Lu Chen put the unconscious girl with long black hair behind him and continued to eat.
The banquet lasted until midnight. When Lu Chen came out, it was already getting late.
After Lu Chen came out, he found that Ya and Mao were waiting outside.
"Achen, no, Your Highness, my father said that the two of us will follow you from now on."
"Okay, I'm very happy that you can come over. However, you don't need to call me prince, just call me big brother. Come on, let's find a place to rest."
With that said, Lu Chen was ready to ask Ya where there was a hotel.
However, before he could ask, Ya spoke: "You don't have to look for a place. You are a prince. There is a palace for you in the royal court. When you attend the banquet, the royal court affairs officer has already chosen the palace for you."
Saying this, Ya took Lu Chen in a direction.
However, while walking, looking at the long, straight black girl on Lu Chen's shoulder, Ya couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what is this?"
"The wife I stole."
Speaking of this, Lu Chen was a little speechless. He didn't expect that one day he would rape his wife, even though the girl's father had agreed.
"Why does it feel more and more like primitive people as we go further? Such a thing should never happen in Yunzhou."
With a sigh, Lu Chen took the girl back to his mansion. It was a quite large house, all made of bluestone. Lu Chen was quite satisfied with this house.
"Who owned this house before and how did it become vacant?"
After being satisfied, Lu Chen asked twice casually.
But this inquiry made both Ya and Mao's expressions darken.
However, they still quickly said: "This originally belonged to the fourth prince."
"Fourth Prince? Why did you give it to me now? Has he gone to his own territory?"
During the banquet, Lu Chen didn't just drink. The eighth prince was beside him, and Lu Chen still exchanged a lot of information with him.
One of them is the method of selecting the new king.
The barbarians were warlike, so the king was naturally the strongest. However, after all, he was the king who ruled over everything. In addition to emphasizing personal force, he also emphasized his ability to control his subordinates.
After the death of the old king, people with prince qualifications will fight in a duel.
But this duel is not a one-man duel, but a prince leading the one hundred strongest warriors in his tribe to fight against others.
This own tribe means that after becoming a prince, he goes to the wilderness to reclaim land and leads his men to grow stronger.
This is the way to select princes, and it is also the way for the royal court to expand itself.
After all, the barbarian princes were powerful, and only they could carve out territory in the wilderness.
The expansion of territory means that in the eyes of the barbarians, the strength becomes stronger.
Although each time it is reclaimed, it takes dozens to hundreds of years to become a large tribe.
But the Barbarian King was a strong man and could live for many years, giving him enough time for other princes to develop.
Of course, in addition to reclaiming territory, the prince can also choose another way, which is to maintain his own invincibility and challenge other tribes alone.
Although the selection of a king will test the ability to control, the barbarians will respect the strong after all. If you alone can defeat the prince on the opposite side, and add the hundred strongest warriors in the tribe, you can also become the king.
Of course, very few people do this.
After all, all princes have golden blood, and every prince in the royal court can learn golden combat skills. They are all geniuses. There is no way to fight across ranks.
When the strength is similar, the one hundred warriors in the tribe are very important. After all, many warriors are the sons of the leader themselves. They also have golden blood and are no weaker than the princes before their transformation.
Two against one, or even ten against one, how can they advance through the ranks if they both have the same golden bloodline?
Several golden bloodline assistants, plus the prince himself, would be too advantageous against someone fighting alone.
It was also because of this that Ji Hongdie at that time tried every means to win over Lu Chen. This was because she wanted to help the seventh prince fight for the throne.
However, she didn't expect that she would bring an enemy to the seventh prince.
However, Lu Chen did not pay attention to Ji Hongdie now. When he heard that this was the fourth prince's courtyard, it was given to him at this time. Lu Chen thought that the prince was managing his own territory.
However, Ya's reply made Lu Chen pause for a moment.
"The fourth prince died in battle three months ago, and his tribe was also destroyed."
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen finally said, "Are there many cases of princes dying in battle?"
"There used to be not many, but in the past few decades, the number of princes in our tribe has increased from more than thirty to more than a dozen."
Among the barbarians, a prince is glory, but more importantly, power.
Every prince will basically lead his tribe to reclaim the wilderness.
Therefore, the number of princes represents the strength of the tribe.
And the death of more than thirty princes to more than a dozen is enough to illustrate the situation of the barbarians.
"It seems that becoming a prince will not make me safer."
"Only if I am strong can I survive longer."
The joy of becoming a prince was extinguished by this crisis.
"Ya, can you find the Barbarian Blood Warriors? I want more than twenty. I will use them tomorrow."
Feeling the crisis, Lu Chen was ready to improve himself. However, in the royal court, he could not find prey for the time being, so Lu Chen could only do trial tasks.
"The trial mission of steel and iron bones: to make steel after a hundred attempts, it's time to do it."
Lu Chen's words were answered quickly: "Your Highness, do you want to form your own bodyguard? However, the barbarian blood warriors are too low. With your strength, Your Highness, you can recruit them by showing them to the military camp."
He has reached the level of a barbarian body or even a barbarian bone level guard."
The princes can form their own bodyguards, such as the seven princes' beasts and the more than fifty barbarian warriors.
However, Lu Chen originally didn't want to form one. He was still planning to follow the Pioneer Battalion to kill in strange places in order to improve himself.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Lu Chen did not refuse immediately.
"I know about the guards. I will go to the barracks tomorrow to take a look, but the barbarian blood warriors are also important. You can summon some barbarian blood warriors tomorrow and we will go to the barracks together."
"I understand, Your Highness."
…
The fourth prince's original mansion was very large, but there were too few people like Lu Chen and others. The guards only had Ya and Mao, and the maids were only Xiaowei.
Therefore, Lu Chen did not choose the main room, but found a random room and rested.
However, while he was resting, many people in the royal court could not sleep.
