"Can we go back?"

The princess brushed aside the people who were roasting the fire, lifted her skirt, and sat directly beside Zhen Ying.

As the twilight faded and the sky darkened, everyone took off the black veil that covered their eyes and lit a bonfire for warmth.

"Isn't it too cold?" Zhen Ying asked her.

Saying this, she condensed her spiritual power on her fingertips and spread it into as many parts as possible, two in one life, two in four, and four in eight...... Divided the spiritual power evenly into countless parts, and turned it into a shield to shroud the outside of the team.

If she was outside of the secret realm, she would never have been able to do this.

Zhen Ying has always been studious, and even on the way north with Luo Ling, he has never slackened his cultivation.

Since Mr. Luo's dart head is capable of beating the crowd, he is naturally extraordinary

After Zhen Ying took Jindan, the meridians began to recover gradually.

It's just that she was born with the sick and weak body of a premature baby, and her endurance for forging is not as good as that of ordinary people. Others have a teacher like Mr. Luo's dart head to teach, and she always gets twice the result with half the effort, but she is good, holding a sick body, but she gets twice the result with half the effort.

However, in the secret realm, without the limitation of that remnant body, her potential was fully stimulated at once.

When he used the wolf's fangs to sneak attack the enemy before, the original intention was actually to attack the east and west, wanting to attract the attention of the enemy general, and then make a sneak attack.

I never thought that the elite soldiers of the grassland were used to fighting immediately, and they were defenseless against Zhen Ying's way of rivers and lakes, and they were repeatedly attacked by her, not to mention, and their cultivation was slightly weaker, and they met the king of Hades at once.

With such strength, it is really useless to use it as a shield. The princess was flattered and waved her hand again and again: "No, no, I don't." ”

"It's really not cold?" Zhen Ying raised her head with a smile, she looked good from her mother, and now half of it is blooming, which is exactly "the most beautiful new rain, and the delicate is all when she wants to open." ”

The princess pressed her skirt between her legs and spread her hands: "It's enough to have a bonfire, you save some spiritual power, this road is very difficult to walk." ”

Although she has not yet communicated with Sun Rui, Zhen Ying is a human being in two lifetimes and knows how fragile women are at certain moments.

She was willing to support the spiritual barrier, mostly out of sympathy.

The second princess of the north is no matter how old she is, it is the age when she blooms like a flower, and there is no shortage of suitors.

The girls who participated in the trials in the snow-capped mountains often teamed up with the pilgrims.

For the Holy Mountain, as long as the heart is pious, there is nothing that is not impossible.

In order to ensure that their daughters were chosen, many nobles would also send additional guards on pilgrimage roads, usually young, unmarried young men.

If on the way to climb the holy mountain, the two secretly fell in love, then it didn't matter whether the trial continued or not.

The two of them engraved their names on the mountain stone together, so that the holy mountain testified, even if Da Shan Yu and Da Yan came in person, they could not be separated.

Of course, there are very few such examples.

In the vast majority of cases, it is still the girls who put the interests of the family first, after all, there is a saint in the family, and the family is full of glory, and even the slaves of their own family are tougher than the ones next to them.

Zhen Ying sighed and took off her ugly deerskin mask.

In an instant, her face was brilliant, and the princess's heart was rippling, and she was not sure for a while, whether she would abduct the boy and elope romantically, or become a saint to save the people.

Zhen Ying gathered the princess's emotions in her eyes.

If there is no such accident, the second princess of the snow realm should grow up to be an adult without worry, and then at the annual ice breaking conference in the clan, select handsome young people to marry and live happily for the rest of their lives.

Become a saint, have absolute power but live alone.

Originally, it was just a branch of her life path that existed in "possibility".

This is where women's tragedies often come from, and the path of fate is not decided by them, but by their male relatives – their fathers, their brothers, their sons.

Because of the judgment error of the male family member, the female relatives are responsible and bear the consequences.

It is in itself unfair to make such a decision that is not in their favor when they do not have the power to make decisions, or even the right to advise.

The princess didn't realize it.

In her education, it is the proper duty to eat the king's fortune and be loyal to the king.

Since she was born as a princess and enjoys the worship of all the people, it is only natural that she should stand up at the moment when the people need it.

But no one told her that it was the same as the rule of the king, and the ministers could choose whether to be a leader or not, and who to serve; The princess could not choose her origin.

No one had ever told her that the princess who had come out of Middle-earth was not the heir of the king.

They are either planning for the benefit of their families, or out of their own need to make a name for themselves, or out of ambition to show off their ambitions......

All of them are self-invited.

The women who married in the north of Zhongzhou all had a sense of mission like teaching, knowing what they were going to face and what they were going to spread, and many of them had made countless preparations even for this day.

It will never be Zhen Ying's eyes, such a fool who knows nothing about the difficulties and dangers of the future, and thinks that as long as he stands up, he can solve the problem.

Not to mention......

The person who can really complete the full set of rituals and truly become the "Holy Maiden of the North" is less than one-tenth of the test takers.

In other words, this girl, who has never even cut off the red dragon, rushed to death from the beginning.

Her life is just an "explanation" for Ukoru, to the people under her rule.

It's done, and everyone is happy.

Dead, insignificant.

The northern border is different from the folk customs of the Middle Earth.

In Middle-earth, women are just as educated and can elect officials.

Even if the science field is still the world of men, they can still rely on their talents to gain a future for themselves.

Although the road to female officials is bumpy, it is feasible in the end.

In the north, the nobility, commoners, and slaves were very divided.

Civilians in the north often have a hard time. In order to be able to get married smoothly, some people have to join the accounts of the big nobles and be the private subordinates of people, so that they can grab a wife and go home during the robbery.

There are also commoners who use the strength of their whole families to buy female slaves from slave traders and become family wives.

This is unthinkable in Middle-earth.

The daughters of Zhongzhou who marry far away are generally married to nobles who go to Zhongzhou to study.

These students, whether in terms of living habits or cultural identity, are actually already the people of Middle-earth.

A poor woman from Middle-earth, married to a nobleman in the north, not only has the support of her mother country.

At the same time, because "the ministers of the upper kingdom can be the kings of the lower kingdom", they are the housewives of the people in the north, which is the real Yiyantang, and they have no obligation to serve their mother-in-law at all.

Let such a daughter marry a commoner? How can it be.

Compared with the lack of women at the bottom, the situation of "leftover women" in the northern aristocratic class is particularly serious, and it is generally concentrated in the middle and middle aristocracy.

The northern border is not like Middle-earth, where there is monogamy enforced by government law.

Most tribes still practice group marriage.

High nobles, even daughters of royal families, were often used for marriages. Marry your daughter or sister to the leader of a larger tribe in order to gain political allies.

For example, Yu Wukuolu, the current big single in the north, in addition to marrying Jiang Yan because of "stepmarriage", he also married several noble ladies from large tribes to make the East Tent and West Tent clan.

"Stepmarriage" is a very common thing in the north.

The original purpose of this long-standing tradition was actually similar to the "concubine" system during the Warring States period in Centralization: it was to ensure that the harem was controlled by the clan.

When marrying a princess, the princess's own sisters, cousins, and even aunts and nieces are used as companions.

The advantage of this is that once the mother dies due to an accident (in most cases childbirth), the "concubine" can be seamlessly connected, and the in-law relationship can still be preserved.

When a great nobleman marries one or more daughters to a nobleman or royal family of the same status, it is inevitable that a large dowry will be given as a sign of sincerity.

As for small tribes, if the leader has too many children, he will face the dilemma of "spending his budget before the marriage is halfway through".

It was in this context that the "Holy Maiden" system was born.

For the Hanmen of Zhongzhou, the people of the north are very easy to fool, and tea and salt can be used. Even if she is a poor woman, if she marries far away from the north, she only needs to bring dozens of loads of salt and tea, which can be regarded as a rich dowry. If you can also carry two pieces of silk, it can be called "ten miles of red makeup".

But the little nobles in the north really can't marry their daughters to the west.

The Northern Royal Court is located at the foot of the Holy Mountain, and even if the people of the Northern Territory are beaten into dogs elsewhere, they will never send swords in front of the Holy Mountain.

Like Liu Ji encountered before, the two younger brothers fought at the mouth of the valley, and he had a completely position to directly cut down the two stupid Oudoudou on the grounds of "disturbing the holy mountain".

Of course, although he didn't plan to do so at first, Zhen Ying helped him do it.

"Solve the two opponents for you in advance, and harvest a wave of soldiers and horses by the way, no thanks."

Middle-earth women marry in the north, and generally live in the royal court, which is stable and safe.

But the political forces in Xishan are mostly city-states, and the iteration speed of power is comparable to 550w.

If the daughter is married, in a few days, perhaps, the son-in-law's family will be neatly packed in a box and brought back a little.

is better than meat buns and dogs, Sun Quan marries Sun Shangxiang, steals chickens and rice, and loses.

Let the daughter choose the "holy woman", that is, the survival rate is a little lower.

But if he wins the bet, he can increase his family's influence in the royal court, and even put his hand into the "Council of Gods", from the leader of the small tribe to the 73rd nobleman who can be ranked in the "Purple Scroll and Gold Book".

The original "holy daughters" were the daughters of the nobles of small and medium-sized tribes who could not afford to pay the dowry for marriage and did not want to marry their daughters to commoners.

Ukoru made a bad move, and Liu Ji made a decision.

By mistake, Zhen Ying, as a pure newcomer who entered the "Snow Mountain Secret Realm" for the first time, a person who should have watched this farce from the perspective of a bystander, suddenly realized.

Yourself, in fact, can play a little bit, as the protagonist of the initiative.
