Despite Weng Guimi's repeated retention, Liu Ye still decided to go to various tribes in Wusun, live and grow up with the local people, and help Wusun's national strength to become stronger.

In desperation, Weng Guimi sent a large number of people to accompany him, most of whom were people with lofty ideals from the Han Dynasty and Wusun, who were knowledgeable and experienced, and gave Liu Ye support in many ways. In addition, accompanied by agricultural expert Zhao Sheng this time, it can be said that it is like a tiger with wings, which has won more attention for this technical elite.

Since Weng Guimi took office, he has changed the conservative style of the imperial court in the past, and made drastic reforms, not only the trade exchanges in Chigu City have become bigger and bigger, but the agricultural textiles that Liu Ye has been advocating have also been actively developed. In the past few years, Zhao Sheng's experimental field has achieved great results, and he has personally taught the herdsmen on the grassland to grow grain and vegetables, not to mention enriching the lives of the local people, and making their lives richer.

Therefore, the various tribes welcomed the technical elite soldiers led by Liu Ye very much, and they were warmly greeted everywhere they went. It's just that Liu Ye doesn't value these, she just wants to do her best to teach the people to learn advanced technical knowledge, so that their lives can be better and better.

Zhao Sheng's rich experience has played a great role, he knows the geological conditions of Wusun well, and makes planting plans according to the suitability of the place. On the other hand, Liu Ye and the maids taught women to spin and weave cloth to improve their quality of life. Gradually, the lifestyle of male and female protagonists became popular in various parts of Wusun, and the development of agriculture and textile industry also reached a rapid level.

Half a year later, Liu Ye and the others had traveled to most of the tribes in Wusun, and the hardships could be imagined, but whenever they saw the satisfied smiles on the faces of the people, they felt more satisfied. Weng Guimi on the grassland and the elders and ministers received good news from various tribes, that is, some people are happy and some are worried, happy that Wusun's national strength is expected to surpass the past, and the sad thing is that the prestige of this Han princess is getting higher and higher, so high that it is extremely difficult to shake.

Although the first king has passed away, there are still many people in the Wusun court who are dissatisfied with Liu Ye, bent on favoring Mrs. Zuo and the prince, and are still full of fear of the Xiongnu, and then reject the right lady from the Han Dynasty. They didn't want Weng Guimi to obey Mrs. You, nor did they want to get too close to the Han Dynasty, lest they offend the nearby Xiongnu and cause a catastrophe.

However, Weng Guimi was very happy, he saw Liu Ye's efforts in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and his respect for her deepened day by day, even if the two no longer fell in love, it was enough for him to respect her for the rest of his life. Weng Guimi never worried about the threat of the Xiongnu, he firmly believed that the strength of Wusun could not be separated from the help of the Han Dynasty, and instead of struggling to survive under the enslavement of the Xiongnu, it was better to let the people of Wusun be self-sufficient and live proudly on this grassland.

There have been more than ten awards from the imperial court, and it is indeed not easy for the tribe to go from the original exclusion and distrust to respect and worship of the hands-on Queen Wusun.

Qing Ling massaged Liu Ye's shoulders under the lamp, and watched her read the parchment scroll all night, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Princess, it's so late, you should also rest, this time we visited the tribe, you are really too hard." ”

"What hard work do I have, but you are the real heroes, and when I go back, I will definitely report to the king for meritorious deeds." Liu Ye smiled slightly, casually opened another parchment scroll, and exclaimed in surprise after just looking at it twice, "Great, my little sister gave birth and gave birth to a healthy boy." ”

"Yes, show me ......" Qing Ling jumped up happily, snatched the parchment scroll in Liu Ye's hand, stared at the fonts he didn't recognize, and laughed embarrassedly, "You see I'm in a hurry, I forgot that I don't know how to read, princess, quickly, read it to me, what is written on it." ”

Qing Ling returned the parchment roll to Liu Ye, sat beside her and listened to her read: "General Chang said that Sister Xiao gave birth to a son, although the process was a little anxious, but fortunately, the mother and child were safe, hehe, this is indeed General Chang's tone, when Sister Xiao gave birth, he was probably so anxious that he jumped to his feet." ”

"Not only that, but he must have pulled the midwife's collar back and forth, staring at and threatening people, if something happened to their mother and son, it would make everyone unhappy." Qing Ling imitated Chang Hui's angry appearance, pulled his neck and shook it, and begged for mercy like a midwife, "The general is angry, angry, Mrs. Chang is all right, I promise to give you a big fat son......"

Qing Ling's expression was exaggerated and his tone was also very weird, Liu Ye looked at it, couldn't help laughing painfully, and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt: "Okay, okay, you pretend to be a man for a while, and a woman for a while, and you pretend to be the same as the real thing, I didn't find that you still have this kind of talent before." ”

"Oh, princess, everyone is here to make you happy, and now that my sister is a mother, you are also very happy!" Qing Ling took her arm, put her head on her shoulder, and said with a smile, "You have all become mothers, so that people can envy me, only my stomach has not moved for a long time, I am afraid that my family teacher will divorce me sooner or later." ”

"How come, only you have the share of the master who has taken a leave of absence, and there is absolutely no possibility that he will take a leave of absence from you." Liu Ye quipped unceremoniously.

"I hate it, princess, you will bully me, I don't think you know the teacher's character, blindly treat him as a good temper, in fact, he starts a fire that is scary, so scared that my heart is beating non-stop." Qing Ling clutched his chest, with a worried expression.

"Oh? Will he still be angry? That's you're going too far! Liu Ye teased casually.

"What's the matter, how dare I do anything excessive, it's not the last time I mentioned Tu Qitang in front of you, which made you sad, but when I went back, he was angry at me, disgusted that I couldn't speak......" Qingling paused, looked at Liu Ye who was smiling in annoyance, and blamed himself, "Look, I'm in trouble again, princess, you scold me, blame me for not being able to control my mouth." ”

Liu Ye shook his head: "You are worried about me, how can I not know, we are all our own people, you don't have to care about this." ”

"However, now you have finally forgotten the past, and gradually watched you smile, but I always have no memory, and I always remind you of him from time to time." Qing Ling sighed deeply, "However, as soon as I saw someone who missed him very much, I couldn't help but rush up to take a closer look, even if I was reprimanded by the teacher, I didn't regret it." I know you can't let him go, and I don't believe he's gone, so why don't you find him as soon as possible and reunite you! ”

"Qingling, think about it, we have been very high-profile all the way to various places, and even if I don't know where he is, he will know my whereabouts. But after so long, he hasn't come to me, so it can be seen that ......" Liu Ye looked sad, and his voice was choked up with sadness for a while.

Qing Ling's eyes widened and he asked, "What do you mean?" He, he's really gone? ”

"Not necessarily." Liu Ye smiled reluctantly, "I don't believe he will leave me, he must be waiting for me somewhere, it's just that he can't come to me for the time being." ”

"Well, yes, it must be like this...... Qing Ling replied in a loud voice, "I understand, the princess means, he is seriously injured and can't move freely, plus the Bright Moon Holy Maiden is watching closely, even if he knows where we are, it will be very difficult to think about it." ”

Liu Ye nodded: "If it weren't for this, with his temperament, he would have found it a long time ago." I'm sad not because I haven't seen him for too long, I'm just worried about how he's doing now and can't be by his side, and I'm sorry. ”

"I know, but this is also a helpless thing, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon refuses to let go, and it is estimated that it will take a while for you to meet again. Princess, you are the most wonderful woman I have ever met, and she would rather let herself suffer and suffer for the sake of Wusun. Qing Ling admired from the bottom of his heart.

"Qingling, do you know, in the past six months, if I hadn't traveled around various tribes and been busy with everyone, I might not have been able to support it for a long time. I love the feeling of being busy, and when I get busy, I can forget about the pain for a while. So I was not only for the people of the tribe, but also for myself. ”

"Anyway, princess, your efforts have been rewarded, and the Wusun court has also seen the results, and now the people don't praise you, you are the veritable mother of the country in Wusun." Qing Ling smiled and encouraged, "I heard Master Shi say that your ideal is to become the mother of the Wusun country who is deeply loved by the people, and now, you have achieved your ideal, and I am proud of you." ”

Liu Ye hurriedly shook his head: "Don't say that, what I'm not doing now is enough, and there is still a long way to go from my goal." If I can realize my ideals in this life, I am already satisfied, how can I be proud of my achievements in just these days! ”

"You, you are just too modest, in just these days, how many people can achieve what you have achieved." Qing Ling picked up the parchment scroll on the table and placed it neatly in the corner of the desk, "I only know that the kings and ladies in the palace are used to living a squeamish life, and no one wants to suffer this sin. Princess, you have been with us for food and accommodation these days, sometimes the conditions in the tribe are bad, and you have to starve and freeze, you have never complained a word of bitterness, for this alone, you are the most outstanding woman in my heart, worthy of the name of the mother of the Wusun country. ”

Liu Ye was deeply moved: "Qingling, thank you, thank you for your encouragement." ”

"I'm telling the truth!" Qing Ling turned around and looked at Liu Ye with a smile, "Okay, you go to sleep, I'll come back tomorrow morning, don't get up secretly while I'm gone!" ”

Liu Ye smiled and nodded: "Okay, I know." ”

It's been another sleepless night, since Tu Qitang fell off the cliff, she hasn't been able to sleep peacefully, although she is sure that Tu Qitang is still there, but she still can't let go. I really want to go to him, talk to him, cook for him, and hold hands with him until dawn.

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue hated her and blamed her for causing Tu Qitang, she could understand this, as a mother, she couldn't see her children suffer a little grievance, let alone worry about her life. How can she untie her knot and make her accept her again!

Liu Ye fell asleep in a daze, and in his dream he vaguely heard someone arguing outside the tent, the voice sounded quite familiar, but he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality for a while.

Shi Zhong and Qing Ling lived in a tent not far from Liu Ye, they chatted about the situation in the tribe, and Chang Hui and Feng Yan were happy to have a noble son, not long after they fell asleep, they suddenly heard the sound of a medicine gourd and a poisonous scorpion not far away, thinking that they were hallucinating, and they didn't get up immediately, but the sound was getting closer and closer, and it was obviously the truth.

Shizhong sat up, put on his coat and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but he didn't expect Qing Ling to hear the movement too, and the two of them were full of suspicions, until they saw the pair of old living treasures with their own eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandfather, old scorpion, why are you here?" The more Qing Ling thought about it, the more curious he became, "Grandfather, didn't you go back to Chigu City?" Old scorpion, where did you come from? ”

Before Shizhong could speak, the medicine gourd grabbed the ears of the poisonous scorpion and counted them down: "I brought back the traitor who betrayed us to ask for the guilt, you have revenge and grievances, you should be beaten, scolded, don't look at my face." ”

"Traitor?" Qing Ling looked around the dejected poisonous scorpion and wondered, "What bad thing did he do?" Grandfather, how do you say he's a traitor? ”

Shi Zhong hurriedly said: "Is there any news of Tu Qitang?" ”

Yao Hulu nodded approvingly: "It's still my grandson-in-law who is clever, yes, that's right." ”

"Hey, traitor, are you going to bite the bullet and not admit it?" The medicine gourd patted the poisonous scorpion's back heavily, and said indignantly, "Fortunately, I have long figured out the habits of your old thing, I know that you will have to show your stuffing sooner or later, I deliberately said that I would go back to Chigu City to retire, and I would never ask these troubles again, in fact, no one expected that I had been following this old scorpion with a bad stomach all these days, and I knew that you would be able to take me to him one day." ”

"Tu Qitang really didn't die?" Qing Ling screamed excitedly, stepped forward and grabbed the poisonous scorpion and asked, "Is it true?" Tu Qitang is not dead, he is not dead, right? ”

The poisonous scorpion looked up at her and replied listlessly, "Well, he's not dead." ”

"Oh, you old scorpion, you hurt us so much......" Qing Ling laughed and cried, and beat the poisonous scorpion angrily, "You have made us miserable, especially the princess, who can't eat and sleep sadly every day, and the whole person has lost a few laps, blame you, blame you......"

"Ling'er, don't make trouble." Shi Zhong pulled Qingling away and asked, "Poisonous scorpion, tell me quickly, where is Tu Qitang now?" ”

The poisonous scorpion sighed in embarrassment: "How do I know, last time I let the crooked gourd break, Mingyue was still angry with me, she thought I did it on purpose, but I really didn't know that the crooked gourd had been secretly following." Now that they've moved away, they won't tell me where they went. ”

"Fart, she's your best friend, can you know where she's hiding?" Yao Hulu scolded unrelentingly, "You damn old scorpion, when you saw me, not only did you admit your mistake, but you also fought with me, giving them a chance to run away, if I don't arrest you back and ask for guilt, I'm sorry God gave me this skill." ”

"Scorpions, you really don't know where they went?" Shi Zhong continued to ask, "The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon has always been cautious, and there can't be only one place for her to hide, think about it, what other places are she most likely to go to." ”

"Grandfather, where did you find them?" Qing Ling shifted the target and instead entangled the medicine gourd, "Maybe it's around there, we can find it ourselves." ”

"Well, I found it at the border of Dawan, but I don't know where I'm hiding now." Yao Hulu said to himself, "But it shouldn't be far, they only have a carriage, not even a coachman, it's still Mingyue's mile to drive the horse......"

"Mingyue as a coachman? Could it be that Tu Qitang is still seriously injured? Qing Ling said hatefully, "What a ruthless mother, her son has become like that, and she fled with him, just to hide from our princess?" ”

"That is to say, how can there be such a mother, ruthlessly break up a pair of lovers, and she was once a person with deep affection......"

Before he finished speaking, the corner of the medicine gourd's eyes skimmed Liu Ye, who was stumbling over, and he couldn't help but shut up.

When Liu Ye heard their conversation, he was eager to know not Tu Qitang's current whereabouts, but his physical condition: "Medicine gourd, poisonous scorpion, how is Tu Qitang's body?" Is the injury serious? ”

The medicine gourd was stunned, and hurriedly pushed the poisonous scorpion: "If you ask something, you can say it quickly!" ”

The poisonous scorpion knew that he couldn't stand Liu Ye, and said apologetically: "Tu Qitang really didn't die that day, but he was seriously injured and dying, Mingyue begged me not to tell you, and to return their mother and son to a clean day." I don't know if Tu Qitang can survive, and because I promised Mingyue to keep it secret for her, I will tell you that Tu Qitang is dead, and I want to use this to cut off the princess's thoughts and stop bothering them. ”

"Later, I couldn't let go of their mother and son, went to several secret strongholds of the Xiling Sect, and finally found Mingyue in Dawan. After all, Tu Qitang has deep internal strength, even if he is dying, he can survive, his lower leg is broken, but it is not very serious, when I saw him, he was already able to walk on the ground. It's just that he can't speak now, and his reaction is relatively slow, which should be caused by a heavy blow to the head. ”

Hearing him say this, Liu Ye was a little relieved: "Fortunately, he's fine." ”

"The princess doesn't have to worry, Mingyue takes good care of him, and their mother and son will not reappear in the rivers and lakes, and now their life is plain and quiet, and there will be no more danger."

"It seems that the decision of the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon is correct." Liu Ye said sadly, "Without me, he would have a better life." ”

"No, it's not!" Qing Ling hurriedly interrupted her, "Without the princess, he is also very painful, he is like a princess, thinking about you day and night, if it weren't for Mingyue's demon woman to stop him, he would have come to you a long time ago." Now that we know his whereabouts, we can't sit idly by, princess, let's go find him, Dawan is not far from here, and we can get there in two hours......"

Liu Ye was worried about Tu Qitang in his heart, but he couldn't just leave, leaving the tribe, besides, the Holy Maiden of Mingyue was very dissatisfied with her, and even if they met, they would break up unhappily.

"I don't think it's time yet, we've just come here, let's talk about it in a few days!" Liu Ye resisted the impulse in his heart and said calmly, "I know that it is enough for him to be fine, there is no need to rush for a while, medicine gourd, poisonous scorpion, you rest first, it's hard work." ”

"Hey, princess, I'm not tired, let's go now, maybe we can meet them halfway......" The medicine gourd shouted at Liu Ye's back.

Liu Ye didn't look back, his steps were heavy and he returned to the tent, slumping on the ground and crying silently.
