Coincidentally, Zhao Hou was also advising Emperor Ling at this time to concurrently appoint Lu Ming as the administrator of the Three Auxiliary Regions.
He explained his reasons: paved roads, improved livelihoods, and the wealth obtained from confiscating property.
If Emperor Ling wanted to make Liu Xie the crown prince, the best way was to win over Lu Ming to become his supporter and protect the new emperor!
"Consort Wang has awakened?" Upon hearing Zhao Hou's words, Emperor Ling was overjoyed. His previously weak body, which had been lying down, immediately sat up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. This is the information my son Liu Qi brought back. She is a woman from the Jia family of Guanzhong, the wife of Lin Ruhai, the Salt Commissioner of Beihai. She was frail and sickly, but under Lu Ming's treatment, she has recovered her health. Your Majesty, should we bring Consort Wang back?" Zhao Hou inquired.
Emperor Ling, who was about to agree, changed his mind at the last second, "Forget it, let her stay there. Have Lu Ming take good care of her and not neglect her."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Hou hadn't mentioned one thing: Lu Ming might be having an affair with Consort Wang. This was only a possibility.
Consort Wang lived in Lu Ming's backyard, a place reserved for wives and concubines.
However, he wasn't entirely sure if Jia Min and her daughter Lin Daiyu also lived there.
These things couldn't be said carelessly; it would be a capital offense!
If he dared to have relations with the emperor's women, wouldn't that lead to rebellion?
Aside from the huge profits Lu Ming brought, and the fact that Lu Ming was his son-in-law, he naturally wouldn't harm his own family.
As for women, so be it. Ensuring the continuation of the family line was the important matter, the right path.
"Who now governs the Three Auxiliary Regions?" Emperor Ling closed his eyes. His true intention was to send his eldest son, Liu Bian, to Lu Ming's side.
He could then appoint Liu Xie as crown prince, eliminating any worries.
Furthermore, sending the Grand General and Empress He to the Western Capital would prevent a potential tragedy of military conflict.
As for Liu Bian's desire to rely on Lu Ming to raise an army to defend the emperor? Emperor Ling wasn't worried at all. He could simply write a letter to Lu Ming, and such an opportunity would vanish.
"It is Yang Cong," Zhao Hou answered truthfully.
"Hmm, I understand. Zhao Hou, you may return now; I am somewhat tired." Emperor Ling waved his hand, his mind already made up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I take my leave." Zhao Hou bowed, slowly retreating a few steps before turning to leave.
A few days later, on the western grasslands.
In a large nomadic tent area, the sounds of women's moans filled the air. A portion of the women of the Utuen tribe had been forced to serve as prostitutes to Liangzhou soldiers.
A few days earlier, Lu Ming had led 5,000 cavalry to conquer this area. Prior to that, Lu Ming had already scattered 30,000 Utuen cavalrymen and captured them alive.
Cutting off the roots was Lu Ming's style, so he continued his westward advance, conquering the Utuen tribe.
Cattle and sheep were taken, people were taken, everything was taken.
The old, weak, sick, and disabled were thrown into the military brothel to serve as prostitutes for the soldiers' lust.
If any had children, they were born and continued as slaves. These children were raised by Lu Ming's men at the expense of all the soldiers.
Old and ugly women were unwanted by Lu Ming, but not to be wasted, so they were taken to be used. The young and beautiful were selected for his own use. The less attractive ones were distributed to meritorious soldiers. Inside the camp, Lu Ming was grabbing a woman's hair and thrusting into her forcefully from behind.
One hand supported her waist, like a knight riding a horse.
His lower body was rhythmically pressing against Lu Qing's genitals. Lu Qing's legs rose on tiptoe, responding to his thrusts. Her legs were bent slightly; she was no longer passively waiting for Lu Ming to thrust into her.
The friction of his penis stretched her vulva until it felt as if it were about to burst. The hot, full sensation filled not only her vulva but also her heart, causing Lu Qing to involuntarily tighten her grip on him, savoring the intoxicating pleasure of his thrusts!
"Oh...brother...ah...fuck me...ah...mmm..." Lu Qing moaned seductively, careful not to be too loud, lest she be heard and cause trouble.
Originally, Lu Ming didn't bring any women, but Wang Yi said that marching was arduous, so he should let his sister-in-law accompany him. Lu Qing could ride a horse and wouldn't be a burden; if she wanted, she could also satisfy his desires.
Lu Qing didn't want to be separated from her brother, so she came along, disguised as a male soldier.
With each thrust, the entire penis was inserted, and Lu Qing's pink vaginal muscles repeatedly expanded and contracted, her glistening love juices gushing out, quickly bringing her to a second orgasm.
Under Lu Ming's fiery thrusts, Lu Qing felt as if she had been transported to paradise. His attacks were deep and intense, each strike hitting the mark, the stimulation driving her wild. The burning head of his penis seared her sensitive spot deep within, the pleasure causing her body to tremble and spasm involuntarily. Her burning, yearning vagina gripped his penis tightly, her sensitive spot, whose name she didn't know, writhed and contracted, sucking at the tip.
"Slutty little sister... ah... you need to be fucked... slutty little sister... I'll fuck you to death!" Lu Ming roared, releasing his pent-up energy into his sister's body.
Why did his sister have to come along? Otherwise, he would have just grabbed any woman to vent his frustrations on.
These past few days, he'd been either having sex with his sister, or with Wu Tu'en's mother and wife. His wife was Chu Kuang's woman, a cunning woman, a woman who knew her fate was sealed and willingly threw herself into his arms.
Lu Ming laid his younger sister, Lu Qing, down on the ground. He used his most familiar position for their first intimate encounter. Their lower bodies were pressed tightly together. Lu Ming held Lu Qing's slender waist, and although he slowed the pace of his thrusts, the pleasure from the friction was no less intense.
"Little sister, I'm going to cum!"
"Mmm! Cum inside…good brother…good husband…" Lu Qing felt her vagina begin to contract; she knew she was almost there. She blushed and responded.
His sister's body was exquisite, comparable to the sedative Diao Chan. Perhaps due to incest, each time he fucked her was exceptionally stimulating.
Full of alluring and seductive attraction, the tip of his penis seemed to pierce something incredibly soft and smooth, sucking him tightly. The sensitive tip sent a strong sensation of suction!
