An elegant two-frame carriage decorated both inside and outside was meandering forward slowly. On both sides of the carriage, there were thirty horse-riding guards following.
There are twenty-five women and five men in this group of guards.
And the vast majority of them are young boys and girls in their teens, and there are even people younger than ten years old.
There are very few truly elderly people.
Years of war have caused most young people, as well as adult men, to die early in the war.
The scarcity of men is a problem faced by all vassal states.
The difference lies in whether it is serious or not.
This has been true all year round, so that there are countless women left in various places.
Even ordinary civilians, as long as they can survive with difficulty, are required to marry three wives and four concubines, or even more.
The lowly common people have the system of polygamy and multiple concubines.
Population is resources.
Whether it is for wars between various vassal states or for farming, there is always a demand for healthy men.
The convoy walked on a flat and vast plain and hills.
On both sides of the road, there are luxuriant grasses, lush trees, wild flowers, and tangled vines.
There are also birds of all colors hovering in the sky, and beasts roaring loudly in the fields. Looking far into the distance, you can also see towering mountain peaks looming in the north.
Suddenly, the curtain on the left side of the carriage was opened by a small white hand.
Then he revealed a childish and cute face.
"This place is different from the places I have been to before. The ground is mostly flat." The seven-year-old little girl was lying on the window, looking out curiously with her big black eyes wide open.
As she watched, the little girl couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I don't know if he still recognizes me?"
"Could it be that... you have already forgotten me?"
The closer we get to Chaoge.
The little girl's inner emotions became more and more worried about gains and losses, restless, her mind was always wandering, and she was often alone in a daze.
Yan Lingji next to her saw Yuji's appearance, covered her mouth with her hand and smiled softly.
"Hehehe..."
"It seems that our eldest lady's heart has flown away right now."
The little girl suddenly came back to her senses when she heard the joking and charming laughter coming from her ears. She couldn't help but stretch out a pair of white and tender claws to grab Yan Lingji's chest, which was already beginning to take shape.
"Hmph, Sister Yan, how dare you laugh at me, look at my dragon claw hand!"
"Are you envious that your sister is older than you?" Yan Lingji gave Yuji a provocative look, raised her hand, grabbed and pressed her, and the little girl was pushed down in her arms.
The right hand fixed Yuji's petite body.
She stretched out her left hand, gently lifted the little girl's smooth chin with her white fingers, and deliberately teased: "Little sister, give your sister a smile!"
"I won't laugh!"
The little girl turned her head and looked at Youying and Zhuzhao opposite.
He immediately showed a pitiful and aggrieved look.
"Sister Youying, Sister Zhuzhao, Sister Yan bullied me again, and you didn't help me..."
"How about...my sister will also bully you?" Zhu Zhao said with a gentle smile, a hint of girlish naughtiness in Shui Ling's eyes.
When the little girl heard this, her head immediately shook like a rattle.
But Zhuzhao completely pretended that she didn't see it. With a gentle expression on her face, she stretched out a pair of devil's claws towards the little girl.
He gently tickled Yuji.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha……!"
"No...don't...don't tickle me anymore, hehehehe...!"
"Sister Youying, help me...!"
Youying, who was sitting opposite, just glanced at the little girl, and then turned back again.
Completely ignoring Xiao Yanji's cry for help.
"We're almost here, I feel the master coming to greet us."
"Just across the bridge..."
Looking out through the carriage window.
Youying could see that the team had already boarded a wide and flat stone bridge. Under the stone bridge, there was a surging river flowing from west to east.
The divine mind swept it away at will.
It can be detected that there are countless fish, shrimps, turtles and turtles of various colors in the surging river.
Lift your eyes, look around, and estimate secretly.
The length of this stone bridge across the river is at least five miles.
On the other side of the bridge, a huge flag was fluttering in the wind, moving wildly.
One side of the flag is embroidered with a black tiger, and the other side is embroidered with the character "Si" written in Wei script.
Densely packed figures of Wei soldiers were lined up neatly, waiting at the other end of the bridge.
And the center is the first place.
Parked is a luxurious and majestic vehicle pulled by nine strong black horses. The entire frame is mainly black with red as a supplement.
The details are inlaid with hollow gold edges.
The overall structure is like a small mobile palace, showing its majesty.
At this time, a burly young figure was sitting upright among them, looking at her quietly across the bank through a layer of gauze.
"Owner……!"
Youying murmured softly unconsciously.
Zhuzhao and Youying felt the same and immediately gave orders: "Everyone, speed up and join the team on the opposite side."
The order is issued.
The driver gently shook the horse's reins to make the carriage run smoothly.
The men and women guarding both sides of the carriage also urged their horses to increase their forward speed and ran straight to the other side of the stone bridge.
…
…
The interior of Wei Anhou’s exclusive car.
Si Yuan raised his right hand and waved it slightly backward.
The two beautiful maids who were squeezing his shoulders and beating his legs immediately stood up and bowed to him.
Then he quietly retreated and stood quietly on both sides behind him.
"I wonder what Concubine Ji looks like now in the past few years?" Si Yuan looked at the horse-drawn carriage team that was getting closer and closer, thoughts rolling in his mind.
"Yuji was only three years old when she left, so she was a bit young."
"And she has lived in Handan, Zhao State for these few years, maybe... she has already forgotten my brother..."
Just when Si Yuan's mind was racing with thoughts.
Zhu Zhao, Yu Ji and Yan Ling Ji finally crossed the flat and wide stone bridge across the river and stopped not far away.
He stood up and walked outside.
The beautiful maids pulled the gauze car curtains to both sides to remove any obstruction.
Got off the carriage.
Si Yuan didn't even look at the Bone Demon, Xue Nu and others who came with him. All he could see was the petite figure standing in a daze on the edge of the carriage opposite.
The cute little girl in red dress with an unfamiliar face was staring at him blankly, motionless.
His big dark eyes were filled with tears unconsciously.
"She...is my concubine!"
With just one glance, Si Yuan recognized the face even though it had already become unfamiliar.
Without any hesitation.
He strode forward, ignoring even the "master" greetings from Youying, Zhuzhao and others, and came directly to the carriage.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the petite and cute young figure quietly.
