The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on a huge motorcade approaching the Pijia Mountains from the direction of Yangzhou.
Five hundred horse-drawn carriages lined up in a long queue on the official road. They were so powerful that they could not be seen to the end.
In the front, middle and back of the motorcade, there is a large flag with the word "Du" embroidered in red silk thread. It is like three military flags, fluttering in the wind and moving forward.
There were 2,500 soldiers at the front and rear of the motorcade wearing leather armor with the word "Du" written on their chests and backs. They exuded murderous aura and guarded the front and rear of the motorcade.
These infantrymen are not tall in stature, but they have rosy faces, strong muscles and bones, swords on their waists and hips, and guns in their hands, giving them the aura of a heroic army.
"Da da da"
Groups of cavalry wearing light leather armor with the word "Du" on their chests and backs were running back and forth around both sides of the convoy, vigilantly observing the pedestrians on both sides of the convoy.
There are about two hundred of these cavalrymen. They are all very skilled in horseback riding and are very vigorous.
These cavalry and infantry are the private soldiers of the Du family in Yangzhou.
This convoy is the convoy of Du Family Trading Company.
Such large-scale fleets were common in all parts of the Xia Dynasty, which was full of powerful and powerful families.
Because, powerful and powerful families control the business in various places.
Since ancient times, it has been a common practice in this continent to maintain private soldiers. The former Qin Dynasty and the Great Xia Dynasty have regulations that wealthy families from all over the country must not maintain more than a thousand private soldiers.
Otherwise, it will be treated as a crime of treason.
There were 500 infantry and 200 cavalry in front and behind the Du family's motorcade, which was only 700, so the rules were not violated.
In the customs clearance document handed over to the Yangzhou government by the Du family, there were 700 private security guards, which was quite satisfactory.
However, the driver of each carriage is a strong man. The five hundred driver are essentially private soldiers. If there is a battle, they can also form a formation and go up.
This is something everyone knows very well and has never revealed.
Therefore, the Du family's huge fleet, with thousands of people, can still swagger on this official road.
In the middle of the Du family's motorcade, behind the flagpole with the word "Du".
There is one of the largest carriages, which is very conspicuous in the motorcade. It is the vehicle of Du Yue'er, the head of the Du family.
Du Yue'er, a Jiangnan beauty on the world's beauty list.
This car has a luxurious appearance, with a red peony carved on it, the emblem of the Du family, as gorgeous as Du Yue'er.
The Du family in Yangzhou is known as the Red Peony family.
Du Yue'er has just turned eighteen.
Since Du Jun, the former governor of Yangzhou, was transferred to the governor of Huangzhou seventeen years ago and died in Huangzhou, his only daughter Du Yue'er has inherited the position of head of the Du family.
At that time, Du Yue'er was still in her infancy, and everything in the Du family was taken care of by the elders of the clan.
Three years ago, Du Yue'er turned fifteen years old and had her hairpin ceremony, and then she took control of the Du family.
What is haircut ceremony?
To put it simply, it is a coming-of-age ceremony.
Since ancient times, women in this continent have given birth to hairpins at the age of fifteen, which means they have grown up and are ready to get married!
According to the marriage customs of Daxia, a woman usually gets married within a year after having her hair tied.
At that time, Du Yue'er, who was fifteen years old and had hair-pin hair, astonished the whole Jiangnan because of her beauty, slender waist and boneless beauty, and became the dream lover of Jiangnan men.
Young and beautiful, with the power and wealth of the Du family, that year, the threshold of the Du family was broken by the matchmaker!
However, Du Yue'er refused them all!
Since ancient times, marriage has been the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.
However, both of Du Yuer'er's parents are not here, so she has the final say in her marriage, and no one is forcing her to do so.
So, she was allowed to delay for three years, and today, at the age of eighteen, she is still waiting to be married.
Eighteen-year-old Du Yue'er was born even more attractive, with a beautiful face that would captivate a country, a beautiful body shape, long legs that are bulging forward and backward, a slim waist and boneless eyes, and one look at people can make people feel soft for a long time.
She is stunningly beautiful in the world, not inferior to Sima Lan.
However, if she is not married at the age of eighteen, she is an old girl in Daxia!
Over the years, the heroes from Jiangnan have been blocking the door of Du's house every day, racking their brains to get Du Yue'er to take another look.
There are those who show off their martial arts skills, and there are countless people who want to win the admiration of beautiful women with their strong bodies.
There are those who show off their literary talents, scratching their heads and racking their brains, sending countless love poems to the Du family, but they are like nothing more than a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no news from them.
Du Yue'er showed no pretense to all the men who admired her beauty.
As the saying goes: A wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and a thief is worse than a concubine who cannot steal.
What you can't get is always the best.
The colder Du Yue'er is, the more men flock to her and become crazy about her.
original.
Among the ten beauties in the world, there are three in Daxia.
Sima Lan was granted marriage to the King of Huangzhou by the Emperor of Great Xia!
Bai Feng is far away in a barren state where there is extreme violence. No matter how timid or brave, most people don’t dare to flirt with her.
Of the three beauties in the world of Daxia, only Jiangnan Du Yue'er can think about it now.
recent.
It's not just Jiangnan Junjie who is crazy about Du Yue'er.
The children of all powerful families and noble families in the entire Great Xia Empire were all crazy about Du Yue'er.
at this time.
The Du family's motorcade rolled forward.
The private soldiers of the Du family, except for driving the pedestrians blocking the road to both sides of the official road, did not do anything bad or tyrannical.
There is free passage on both sides of the official road.
