The young lady and the great chief of Yelu left their leave, and told the chief that she would return to the Eastern Wilderness with the slaves tomorrow. The chief said that although he had been with the young lady for a short time, he had been impressed by the demeanor of the young lady, especially the young lady presided over the completion of the interpretation work, which solved the problem of not being able to communicate with the patrol slaves for many years.

Chief Jerod was also preparing for his return journey, and the young lady said goodbye to Chief Jerod, and left the chief chief's tent under the watchful eye of the chief Jerod.

The young lady returned to her tent, and the husband and twenty stewards were waiting in the courtyard.

Fu Hui and the others greeted the young lady and followed the young lady into the tent.

The young lady came to the bedside and sat down, waited for everyone to stand, and said, "Tomorrow we will return home, prepare at the end of the day, and set off at the hour, and each team will form a team according to the marching formation, and gather at the door of the branch of Boxi." After departure, the four teams of Sun, Moon, Mountain, and Fire were responsible for the safety of the entire brigade and supervised the patrol slave formation. ”

The crowd said, "No!"

The young lady turned to her husband and said, "The return journey is far away, and there are only you and I leading the team, so I will escort the team in the back, and you will lead the way in front, and when you arrive at Li Zigang, rest and settle down for one night." ”

The husband replied, "No!"

The young lady turned to the public management and continued: "Every time you go to a place of rest and settlement, whether it is a slave or a slave, you must first let those old and weak women and children settle in the farmhouse, and those who cannot stay in the farmhouse camp outside. After the meeting, Yufu will take you to the branch of Boxi to pick up the warm skins you need for camping, and there is a batch of leather goods that we have bought. ”

The husband and the others agreed to the promise, and the young lady said: "You all have to take responsibility for the return trip, don't go on a business trip, and after you go back, you will determine the details." ”

Everyone agreed, and the young lady said, "This is the end of the meeting, you go and prepare for the return trip." ”

Everyone said goodbye to the young lady, followed her husband back to Boxi's branch to pick up the skin, and arranged for tomorrow's return.

The young lady looked down at the hour hand, and it was already five o'clock. The young lady closed the door of the tent and sat cross-legged to practice the Prajna Heart Sutra.

Early the next morning, the young lady rode a big red horse, took the big white horse ridden by Ying Ning, and came to the branch of Boxi with Boerhu, who came to leave the line, and Xiao Tiemur, who saw him off.

The burden behind the family members of Boxi is obviously deflated a lot.

When they saw each other, Borhu said, "After a while, my brother and I will be on our way back, and if you need anything from your lordship, please go to me." ”

The young lady said, "Thank you, Chief Bor, if you need it, you will bother." ”

Boxi and his entourage were all capable, and soon gathered up the horses, pinned their scimitars, carried the deflated baggage, held the sheath, shouted and shouted, and led the horses out of the branch gate.

Seeing that the last horse was out of the door, Boxi and Boerhu told each other to take care of themselves with Miss and Xiao Tiemoor, and chased after the first herd.

Miss and Xiao Tiemur watched Boxi walk away, and as they watched, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

The young lady turned to see that it was her own army of slaves, coming from afar.

From a distance, this slave team is very majestic: in the front are the two managers of Fu Hui and Tu Niu, with a horse team, pressing the horses forward, followed by the Zhou Nu walking team and the patrol slave walking team led by each management, and at the end is another horse team led by Yang Heshi. With the exception of children, each slave carried a large and small burden behind him.

Seeing this, the young lady was very satisfied: the quality of these Zhou slaves was far higher than she had imagined before she received them. I thought to myself: "After the return trip, I should give these Zhou slaves their identities as soon as possible and turn into farmers." ”

In less than two minutes, the husband came to the front of the branch with the return team, reorganized the team to report the number, and asked the young lady to check it.

The young lady checked that the team was correct and announced the departure. The husband turned around and walked with his horse in front of the young lady with the procession, and went towards the main road.

When the last horse team passed by the young lady's horse, the young lady said goodbye to Xiao Timoor, rode on the horse and led the big white horse to the back of the team, and escorted the team back.

The horses with Boxi walked the road first, and did not encounter any wild things along the way, even so, there were women and children, the old and weak marched, and the team marched slowly, and at two o'clock, the team successfully arrived at the fork in front of Lizigang Village.

According to the plan, the husband began to change teams on the fork in the road, and the women, children, old and weak teams entered the village first and stayed overnight to settle down.

The villagers of Li Zigang had already discovered this large group of people and horses, and they were surprised: "In the past few days, several groups of horses have passed in front of the village, and there are many horses, and now there is such a huge team, I don't know if it is good or bad." ”

There are more than 30 households in Lizigang, and it is also a family compound, and a village fence has been built. To the south of the village is the main stream of the Yanghe River, and there are several Yanghe rivers around it, which nourish all things in this area.

When the villagers saw the old and weak women and children who were all walking towards the village, and the men on horseback were following behind, they guessed that this was going to spend the night, and they were relieved.

The husband returned to the end of the team and asked the young lady to choose a place to stay, and the young lady said: "I came here just to investigate the people's conditions, you don't have to worry about me, settle the women and children, the old and the weak." ”

The husband received his order, and the horse returned to the ranks.

Four hundred old and weak women and children of Zhou slaves and more than 100 old and weak women and children of patrol slaves, nearly 600 people, wanted to spend the night in the village to settle down, and the villagers in the village were all alarmed, and it took half an hour to finally settle these old and weak women and children.

The remaining 1,600 people, divided into four teams, gathered in four threshing floors in the east, west, north and south of the village, distributed skins, rested on the spot, and made a hot meal.

The young lady personally took the remaining more than 100 people in the patrol queue and settled with the 200 people of the mountain team.

Seeing that everyone was busy but not chaotic, the young lady formed a group and instructed the six patrol slaves to take care of these patrol slaves, not to cause trouble, and to hand over the horses to the mountain team to manage the wood and sheep, let them take care of them, and go to find Li Ya's house by herself.

On the way, I met my husband, and I brought a few young men from the Japanese team to ask the young lady for tomorrow's itinerary. The young lady said: "You can set off at the time of the hour, and go to Shagang tomorrow to rest." ”

The husband took the order back and went to convey the arrangement, and the young lady asked where Li Ya's home was, and came to Li Ya's house.

Li Ya's family has just settled a few old and weak women and children, seeing the adult visiting, knowing that this is a big official, dare not slack off, the old and young lady of the family went to the main room of the house, entered the main seat, served tea, please ask the adult what to order?

The young lady saw that the family was standing around her, very restrained, and said: "Don't be restrained, this official came this time to find out how Li Ya was robbed that day, you leave the two who know what happened, just report it to me, and everyone else will go and get busy." Xin said: "This village also has a parapet, which is very tight, how did the Rong people get to the village and rob people?"
