Xiao Xuanchen heard the voice of the ghost, frowned slightly, and said, "Come in." Shu Yu Shirt"

Ghost Gus stroked his chest and saluted, "Lord of the Kingdom, Queen, just now there was news from the dungeon that the slave Azula had committed suicide. ”

"What?" Zhuang Meiyan covered her lips with her hands, her eyes widened, and she suddenly felt a little frightened, and her heart ached faintly.

"Got it!" Xiao Xuanchen frowned deeper, and succinctly waved his hand at Ghost Ges, who immediately retreated in understanding.

Xiao Xuanchen gently hugged Zhuang Meiyan's shoulders and let her lean on herself, her forehead was already oozing fine sweat, her lips were blue, and her fingers were cold. Xiao Xuanchen was a little distressed and put all her cold fingers into her palm, covering them patiently, and the slightest heat spread to Zhuang Meiyan's body through her palm, so that she felt extremely warm, her face seemed to look a little better, and her lips were a little bloody.

"Are you scared?" he asked slowly.

Zhuang Meiyan snuggled her head on his shoulder, sighed slightly, closed her eyes tiredly, and said softly: "With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything." ”

"Still, it's the best for everyone to end it up. Xiao Xuanchen said: "I will have a good talk with Lord Sikong tomorrow, you don't care about this matter anymore, there is me!"

"What's wrong with you?"

Her silence made Xiao Xuanchen a little worried, and looked down, except for her face being a little tired, she was not abnormal, her breathing was more even, and she snored slightly--she was asleep!

She's asleep! She's asleep! He's not asleep yet, and he's not asleep yet, and he's not even asleep!

Xiao Xuanchen's heart was filled with pity, how did she survive the frightened life in the past month? I am afraid that she will not even spend a peaceful night. Although they have exchanged letters these days, every word in her letter is "peace", and there is no mention of her hardships and grievances. Luckily, he guessed this and left Ghost Gus with her, and Ghost Gus would naturally tell him the truth.

He really wished he could fly with his wings and return to Winkoll and her at once. He used the fastest speed, even at the expense of extraordinary means, to deal with the dispute, and then rushed back.

Thankfully, everything is still under control.

Fortunately, with her, everything is under control.

Xiao Xuanchen carefully put her on the bed, which might make her more comfortable, but even in her sleep, the two delicate eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled together, and the eyeballs covered by the thin eyelids were moving rapidly, maybe she was dreaming. She subconsciously grabbed Xiao Xuanchen's arm and curled up, this dream didn't seem to be too pleasant. Xiao Xuanchen lay beside her, stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around her body, slowly smoothed her frowning brow with his other hand, and finally held one of her hands and slowly closed his eyes.

Lady, I will never allow anyone to hurt you, and anyone who tries to hurt you will definitely pay the price!

Lady, you are my only bond in this world. If, one day, it really comes to the point of no return, we ...... I won't allow that to happen, and I'm not going to let anyone ruin our home!

He kissed her forehead, a happy look on his face, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Xiao Xuanchen's snoring sounded in the tent, the bird-like woman in her arms gently shook her eyelashes twice, and slowly opened her eyes, her eyes calm and restrained.

This guy had never snored before, it was all because of his posture - he hung his head hard, his chin rested on top of her head, curled up, and hugged her with his arms, the whole person took on a protective posture.

The guy had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows were stretched, and his whole facial expression was happy and content, as if he owned the whole world. He still had the smell of slaughter characteristic of the battlefield, a mixture of blood, iron, and gunsmoke. Zhuang Meiyan didn't like the smell, but the smell had mixed into his body and became a part of his body, and it was difficult to separate.

What has this guy done since he left Wen Koer for more than a month, Zhuang Meiyan doesn't want to know, no matter how dangerous it is, no matter how difficult it is, she doesn't want to know. Just like last time, he left Feng'an City in the Peerless Kingdom for Winkoor, and she never asked him what was going on.

She couldn't help but pull out her fingers and gently touch the resolute lines of his face, and when she touched the corners of her lips, her fingers suddenly paused. There was a less obvious mark of blood on his somewhat dry lower lip, and if you looked closely, it was not like an abrasion, but like a bite mark on a tooth, and if it was, there must have been the same symmetrical scar on the inside of the lip. Her fingers moved slightly, finally resting on his lips, and then slowly moved down to his stubble-covered jaw, the hard stubble stinging the tips of her delicate fingers. Zhuang Meiyan pressed her face against his chest and closed her eyes.

If he didn't say, she still wouldn't want to know what had happened.

The sun is still rising, everything is still the same, and the Vozra steppes are as peaceful as ever. Although late autumn is approaching day by day, the cold has not officially arrived, and at noon on a sunny autumn day, everything is still so beautiful, the temperature is suitable, and the golden sun is so warm that people can forget all their troubles.

On a sunny grassy slope gathered a group of women dressed in yellow linen clothes, and from their clothes it was clear that they were a group of slaves or commoners. In Wuyang, the color of the clothes was very particular, only nobles could wear white, samurai wore black, and slaves and commoners wore yellow.

The women were not very old, seventeen or eighteen years old, and each of them had a loom in front of them. Their eyes were full of novelty, something strange they had never seen before.

Chunju showed them a yellow-brown dress with a circle of Gesang flowers, the favorite of the grassland people, embroidered on the bottom, which looked chic and beautiful. Seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls are all beauty-loving ages, and their eyes invariably show envy. Chunju generously turned around in the center of the crowd, which made these girls greedy, and some couldn't help but step forward and touch it. The texture was much smoother and more delicate than linen, not much worse than the silk that the nobles bought from the Musou Kingdom at great expense.

"Do you want to have such a set of clothes?" asked Chunju, taking the opportunity.

These girls, you look at me, I look at you, hesitantly nodded.

"Well, the queen said, as long as you learn from me, each of you will get a set--but those who can't learn won't get it!"

Under the bewitchment of the heart of beauty, these girls were all excited, scrambling to gather around Chunju to learn to spin.

Zhuang Meiyan, who was standing not far away, saw it in his eyes, and a trace of joy appeared between his eyebrows. Suna on the side diligently handed her a cup of hot milk, Zhuang Meiyan took a sip, and put it back on the tray.

"If the queen is not used to drinking milk, I will go and change it for tea. ”

Zhuang Meiyan smiled slightly and said, "No need, you will get used to it slowly." ”

"These girls have studied very hard, it seems that they can learn it in a day or two at most, and Wu Yang can finally have his own silk. ”

It is no wonder that Suna, who has always been calm, is a little excited, silk has a smooth texture and noble appearance, and has always been one of the favorite luxury goods of nobles. The origin of silk comes from Wushuang Country, because silkworm cocoons can only be obtained in the warm and humid Wushuang Country, and Wuyang Kingdom is located in the cold and barren north, where there are neither silkworms nor mulberry leaves that silkworms like to eat, so they can only exchange silk from Wushuang Country at a high price.

"It's okay to be idle. Zhuang Meiyan still smiled and said, "In our peerless country, it is just a basic skill for women to learn to be female celebrities - this is not difficult in the first place, the only difficulty is only the source of the silkworm cocoon, fortunately, someone has solved this problem for us." ”

This matter is also thanks to the guy, if he hadn't mentioned that there is a wild silkworm in the northern oak forest, she would not have thought of how to solve the problem of silkworm cocoons. There are patches of oak forests in the forests of Qiyang Mountain, and it is easy to find silkworm cocoons, so she asked someone to take them back and test them, and sure enough, they can also be spun into silk for weaving.

Now that she is the queen, she naturally doesn't want to exchange this for commercial value, it is indeed a pastime for idleness. On top of that, the color of the cloth spun from the silk is a natural yellow-brown color, a color that only slaves and commoners could use to make clothes in Wuyang, so it can only be taught to them.

"Wuyang people can learn the unequaled things slowly, and the things of Wuyang can be learned slowly by the unequaled people, isn't it a good thing for everyone to communicate with each other?"

Zhuang Meiyan raised his finger and pointed to the grassy slope a little farther away, where the ghost in a black samurai shirt was patiently teaching the snow kite to ride a horse. Snow Kite sat on the horse's back, looking nervous, clutching the reins tightly and lying on the horse's back, not even daring to lift his upper body, Ghost Gus broke out a hearty laugh from time to time, it seemed that it would take a long time for him to jump off the horse and hand the horse to Snow Kite to practice by himself.

Seeing this kind of scene, Zhuang Meiyan and Suna looked at each other and smiled.

"How old is Ghost Gus this year?"

"A man is a child who has not grown up until he meets the woman he loves! Only when he meets the person he really likes and fights to protect the person he likes will he grow into a real man. Suna said meaningfully.

Zhuang Meiyan lowered her head, pinched the half-embroidered baby belly pocket in her hand, and suddenly said: "Protecting your mother, is it also fighting for the woman you like?"

Suna was stunned for a moment, she immediately understood what Zhuang Meiyan was referring to, and sighed and said, "Is the queen worried about the two princes and Concubine Yelu? The lord of the kingdom has shown great mercy and sent them to a remote pasture to fend for themselves, which is already the lightest punishment for the crimes they have committed. ”

"The lord also allowed them to take their own warriors and slaves, as well as their possessions, something that had never happened in the Vozra steppes. You and the Lord are the most merciful people in the world. ”

Suna's eyes showed admiration.

Zhuang Meiyan shook his head, looked at the clouds in the sky with resolute eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You are wrong, this is not mercy, this is just a concession." There are only absolute winners in the world who are qualified to do something truly benevolent, and there has never been a real winner in this world. ”

Zhuang Meiyan's eyes slowly moved along the clouds in the sky, and the endless prairie was like a yellow-green ocean, boundless, the grass waves were undulating, and the cattle and sheep grazing with their heads bowed appeared and disappeared from time to time. Suddenly, a fast horse burst into her sight from the sky, it was a fierce horse, fast, and unruly so that it wanted to do everything in its power to shake off the person sitting on its back.

On its back were the figures of two people, a man and a woman, the man holding the reins tightly, and the woman also trying her best to keep her body down, and the two leaned against each other in an intimate posture. At last the galloping horse was worn away with the last bit of pride, and the violent speed gradually subsided, and the head hung down obediently.

Seeing that the horse had been tamed, the man let go of his fingers gripping the reins and patted the woman on the shoulder, who turned to him and smiled mischievously.

Zhuang Meiyan recognized them, and everyone on the grassland recognized them. Xiao Xuanchen, the lord of Wuyang Kingdom, and Ye Luyan, the most favored daughter of the Yelu family. A few days ago, at the same time that Xiao Xuanchen announced the punishment of Concubine Yelu, he also announced an order that shocked the entire Wuyang Kingdom.

He announced: Yelu Yan is the general and leads the soldiers and horses of the Yelu family.

Even if Wu Yangguo does not believe in "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented" like Wushuang Kingdom, after all, a woman is a person with a foreign surname, and she will use her husband's surname after marrying in the future, so it is unheard of in Wuyang to appoint a woman as a general.

Some people also speculate that such a large blood capital is actually just the largest dowry from the Yelu clan.

In the kingdom of Wuyang, there is nothing more precious than warriors and horses.
