章 278: Envoys from the Northern Borderline (IV)

Jiang Pengji had already foreseen Nansheng's defeat, but she did not expect that their request for military aid had only just reached Dongqing. Unfortunately, they happened to run into the group of the three tribes of the Northern Borderline who were there for the marriage between the two countries. Dongqing would be deep in trouble then.

Although there were conflicts between Dongqing and Nansheng, the two countries were part of Xia. The three tribes of the Northern Borderline and the four factions of Nanman were considered people of different clans.

Generally speaking, Dongqing and Nansheng were two sons who shared the same father. Even if they were separated, their bones were connected. However, the three tribes of the Northern Borderline and the four factions of Nanman were enemies who coveted the other's property. In order to defend the ancestral property, the two countries definitely had to put aside their grudges temporarily and join hands.
