Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

The elders nodded.

"We risked our lives to enter the capital this time. We didn't catch General Li's daughter, but it's good to catch the princess of the county." At this point, the elder paused and said, "The princess of the county is of noble status, but it's useless to catch her back."

The leader explained: "You forgot that the Fourth Elder was captured by General Li. I specifically captured the Princess of the County and brought her back to the tribe just to use her as a hostage in exchange for the Fourth Elder."

The Great Elder sighed, "The war is getting intense. We have lost several battles in a row and have no way to break through the defense line. We originally thought of capturing General Li's daughter to threaten General Li and make him compromise so that we can break through the defense line and go to the border villages to grab some food for the winter. Now there is no hope. We can only think of a way ourselves."

The second elder continued, "If we can capture the princess and exchange her for the fourth elder, this trip won't be in vain."

"Let the leader handle this matter." The third elder was very dissatisfied with the captured fourth elder. He led the troops to attack without authorization, and not only was his entire army wiped out, he was also captured.

The leader sent the elders away and prepared to go back to rest. When he passed by He Shulan's tent, he lifted the curtain and saw that He Shulan was already asleep. He put the beef in his hand on the table and left.

.....

He Shulan slept until noon. After washing up, she saw the beef on the table. She thought of the hard bread given by the leader, picked up the beef, and took a careful bite.

It was not as hard as she had imagined, but soft with a hint of milk. She ate it in big mouthfuls. She urgently needed to replenish her body, fill her stomach, and walk out of the tent.

The bright eyes made He Shulan unable to open her eyes. She covered her eyes and took a long time to adapt before she let go of her hands.

Apart from the soldiers guarding the tribe, there were only a few people still playing on the grass. He Shulan walked over and saw a little boy about seven or eight years old sitting on the grass reading a book.

She walked over curiously and saw the little boy reading a book. He frowned and seemed to not understand what was written in the book. She sat next to the little boy and asked, "What are you reading?"

La Suo raised his head and looked at He Shulan: "I'm reading a book, but I can't understand some of the words."

He Shulan took the book from Lasuo's hand. It was the Four Books and Five Classics. These books were no longer suitable for Lasuo's age. "Have you never been to school?"

"No, there is no teacher in the tribe. We only know simple numbers. I will teach you how to read."

"I will teach you how to read." He Shulan, who was brought here, really couldn't adapt to the life here. The life was too leisurely. Teaching Lasuo how to read could help her pass the time.

Lasuo's eyes lit up, and he asked in disbelief, "Really?"

"Ok!"

At this time, other children who were playing on the grass came running over, hopping on their legs. They looked at He Shulan with excited eyes and said in a soft voice, "Auntie, we want to learn to read too."

He Shulan looked at the children of different heights and ages in front of her. Fortunately, they had never been to school, so they could be taught together: "Okay, Auntie will teach you how to read."

The group of children excitedly surrounded He Shulan.

This scene was seen by the chief who came back from hunting. He neither restrained the children nor He Shulan, nor restricted He Shulan's freedom, allowing He Shulan to move freely in the tribe.

.......

The prince traveled day and night and finally arrived at the border and found General Li.

When General Li heard that the Hu people had run to the capital, he was incredulous and asked, "How did they get there?"

"I don't know. Prince Ning stayed in the capital to investigate. I came to the border to rescue people."

General Li felt that the prince was not only fond of the concubine who died of illness, as the rumors in the capital said, and was very good to the princess. He did not continue to ask: "Do you know which tribe kidnapped the princess?"

"I don't know, I just know they are Hu people." The prince replied, "It was too chaotic at the time, and the Hu people took the people of the capital as hostages, so there was no way to find out."

This made General Li frown: "There are many tribes of the Hu people. I don't know which tribe the Princess was abducted by. It will be difficult to find her back."

The prince's heart sank to the bottom.

"Could it be the Tiger Tribe that we have been fighting recently?" the adjutant beside General Li reminded.

General Li was silent for a while: "How is it possible? The Tiger Tribe was defeated in the recent airport battle." At this point, he was very confused: "What do the Hu people want to do in the capital? Are they trying to capture the Princess of the County? But the Princess of the County has lived in the back house for many years, how could she offend the Hu people?"

No one present could explain it.

The prince broke the silence: "No matter what the reason is, rescue the person first."

With the clue, General Li did not delay and immediately asked his adjutant to lead a team of soldiers to the Hu people's Tiger Tribe to inquire about the situation.

The prince was waiting anxiously.

General Li comforted him, "Don't worry too much. I have sent soldiers to inquire and we will know the news soon."

"I don't know if those barbarians have made things difficult for He Shulan. She has been raised in luxury since she was a child. I don't know if she can withstand their punishment."

General Li saw the dark circles under the prince's eyes and said: "Although the Hu people are rough, they will not torture hostages. You have come here from the capital and must be exhausted. Go and rest first."

"I won't go." The prince refused. At this time, he didn't know what happened to He Shulan, so how could he sleep?

"You've exhausted yourself. Who's going to save the Princess? Anyway, you're walking around here and there's no way you can get any news about her."

The prince thought what General Li said made sense, so he followed the soldiers to the guest rooms at the back to rest.

I slept for two days and two nights.

Yuan Qing also rushed to the border.

General Li and Yuan Qing looked at each other with anger in their eyes.

"You old fool, you forged an imperial decree last time and tricked me into going to the south to fight a war for you."

Yuan Qing looked at General Li who was speaking and said, "The Emperor asked us to fight side by side. At that time, I was fighting against the Hu people in front. You can only go to fight in the south."

General Li was unable to refute this statement: "That is the battlefield you are guarding. Why should I fight for you?"

"You heard what I just said. We two fought side by side. There's no need to distinguish between you and me. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours."

General Li was very angry at these words. Every time he fought with Yuan Qing, he was the one who suffered and endured hardships, while it was Yuan Qing who received rewards and praises: "Then you can't just leave it all to me."

"It's been so long since the incident happened, please don't mention it again."

General Li glared at Yuan Qing fiercely. He didn't want to mention this matter. It was really because the battle was too difficult and he was naturally indignant in his heart.
