The "adopted daughter" incident was just a small episode caused by Luo Jiaxing. In the busy and tense negotiations that followed, he had long forgotten about it. The old King Yan had almost no room for bargaining and had to accept the North Kingdom.
The proposed tribute requirement is 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 pieces of silk each year. These things are equivalent to 60% of Yan's annual GDP. If you accept it, the people will not be able to make a living. If you don't accept it, the throne will be difficult to protect. The old King of Yan knew very well that this was because
Luojia had no intention of occupying this land personally, so he deliberately let himself go. Compared with the days of being a prisoner, he would rather keep his throne first.
After achieving a complete victory, Luojia set off on a certain day and returned to Pingcheng, the capital of the Northern Kingdom. This time, more than 10,000 people were captured, all of whom were beauties, craftsmen, artists, monks, laymen, Buddhists, etc. plundered from Dayan.
Three thousand beauties from all walks of life were the first victims. As soon as they set off on the road, there were overwhelming cries. However, the escort team had no sympathy for them. On the contrary, looking at the cries of the beauties, they were frightened and moved.
There is an indescribable feeling of pleasure. It is only the beginning of March, and the climate becomes colder as you go north. The climate in Dayan is warm and spring-like all year round.

But they could not withstand the cold, so they could only cry secretly. From now on, the homeland is three thousand miles away, and I don’t know when the fate of being a slave and a concubine will end.

Only Fang Fei, because she was the new "adopted daughter" of His Majesty the Northern Emperor, had a higher status than the others and was able to ride in the carriage. However, in addition, she no longer received any preferential treatment or care, because everyone knew that she

On this day, it rained heavily, and the army had to stop along a leeward mountain range.
The tents accompanying the army were opened, and the soldiers were eating, drinking, and playing guessing games inside. The female prisoners couldn't bear the heavy rain and were shivering from the cold. Helpless, some women who couldn't stand it went to the soldiers' tents.
Suddenly, it was like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. The soldiers laughed and "caught" the women who got in. Soon, the women's screams came from the tent. The women outside did not dare to go in again, despite the heavy rain.
