After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

During their stay in Juyan City, Qin Yaoguang and Yan Changqing made a lot of decisions.

The stay or departure of the women in Fengqi Tower is not something that can be determined by just one decision; it is a delicate matter.

They were brought into the palace by Pabala at different times and came from different regions, so each of them had a very different situation.

For those who could still find their relatives, Sudiya would give them money and let them go to their relatives on their own.

But half of them have no where to go.

Some of them came from even more distant Western countries; some had been in the palace for many years and had long forgotten where their relatives were; some were ashamed of this experience and were unwilling to return home...

There are many kinds of them.

In short, it was all Pabala's fault.

Their bodies have also been ruined and they all have their own problems.

Sudiya understood all too well.

She talked to everyone, understood their concerns, and gave them advice on whether to stay or go.

Seven or eight people stayed in Juyan City.

Su Diya left Qin Ying here and used this place as a base to cooperate with Qin Yaoguang's Silk Road plan to establish the first trade distribution point. These people became Qin Ying's assistants.

There are also a few older women who choose to get married in the city.

Sudiya took charge of choosing marriages for them, with the aim of ensuring their future was as secure as possible.

The remaining dozen or so expressed a strong desire to follow Qin Yaoguang.

It happened that Qin Yaoguang was short of a maid on this trip, and Guyu and the others were separated by a sandstorm. Later, they were found by Qingbai and sent back to Yumen Pass.

After Su Diya asked about their wishes again, she selected four maids to serve Qin Yaoguang, and the rest went north with her. After seeing Qin Yaoguang off at Yumen Pass, they returned to the northern border town with her.

After Qin Yaoguang proposed the Silk Road plan, he immediately wrote to Su Diya, asking her to train manpower.

These women are far away from home and have nothing.

If they want to start a new life, they are the best candidates to do so with their own hands.

What's more, Sudiya's experience is extremely similar to theirs.

Sudiya is a living example before them.

Nothing can motivate people more than role models.

Qin Yaoguang read the entire list and looked at Su Diya with relief: "Diya, after just a few years of not seeing you, you can already stand on your own."

Sudiya is still as beautiful as ever, and her emerald-like eyes are shining with wisdom and determination.

Just like how she came thousands of miles to save the eldest princess, with both courage and wisdom.

Every decision she made, every person and every product she brought in were later proven to be worthwhile.

Yan Shiyan was able to dress up as a noble lady of Loulan entirely thanks to the clothes and accessories provided by Su Diya.

Even the pagoda-shaped hollow butterfly gold bracelet that could kill the wizard was obtained by Sudiya in a trade with the Beirong. She thought it might come in handy on this trip, so she brought it to Hexi.

"It's all the master's mercy."

Su Diya was not at all proud of herself, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Qin Yaoguang.

Qin Yaoguang is only a few years older than her, but in Su Diya's heart, the eldest princess's status is no different from that of her mother who gave birth to her and raised her, giving her a second life.

"Master, please allow me to stay by your side and serve you for a while."

Sudiya's tone was a little melancholy.

After arriving at Yumen Pass, the two went their separate ways again.

I don’t know when we will meet again.

Qin Yaoguang knew what she meant and agreed with a smile.

We had been apart for such a long time, and the situation was urgent when we met again, so I didn't have time to ask her about her recent situation.

It was a good opportunity for the two of them to have a good chat while on the way.

In front of Su Diya, Qin Yaoguang never regarded himself as a savior, nor did he treat her as a slave to be ordered around.

She regarded herself as a talent scout who discovered Sudiya's talent, and hoped that her life would get better and better and her future would be bright.

The road to Juyan City is so tortuous and bumpy, but the road back to Yumen Pass is smooth.

In order to cope with the unknown situation that might occur next, under Yan Changqing's arrangement, they did not march day and night in a forced manner, but were able to ensure reasonable rest and meal time, maintain a high level of vigilance, and march in an orderly manner.

The situation on this land is undergoing new changes every day due to the successive recovery of Shazhou and Guyan and the people's support.

There is still half a month left before the one-month tax reduction deadline given by Qin Yaoguang, and people are starting to get excited.

Often it was Tubo land one day and surrendered to Dajing the next day.

Some old Tibetan forces were unwilling to accept this and organized troops to attack, and the land changed hands again.

However, in general, judging from the information Yan Changqing collected along the way, the general trend is that Tubo's influence is gradually weakening.

Three days later, we arrived at Yumen Pass.

The garrison commander led the local officials to meet them from a distance of ten miles.

Seeing Qin Yaoguang walk out of the carriage, more than 30 civil and military officials knelt down and said, "Your Highness, we respectfully welcome the Princess! We respectfully welcome the Prince!"

They have been guarding the border for many years and finally waited for the day to recover Hexi. How could they not be excited?

"Flat body."

A group of people surrounded them and walked towards the city. The guard of Yumen Pass set up a dinner party to welcome them and see them off.

While they were still on the way, Qin Yaoguang sent someone to send him a letter, ordering him to collect intelligence, reorganize military affairs, and set off immediately the day after they arrived.

There was no news of any unrest in the capital, and it was still a peaceful and prosperous time with singing and dancing.

The court's official reports, Yan Changqing's intelligence network, and Sudiya's sources did not receive any unusual reports.

The calmer it is, the more it reveals the unrest behind it.

Yumen Pass is a border town with harsh conditions.

The food here is different from that in the Central Plains. Vegetables and fruits are hard to find, but beef and mutton are not scarce.

This dinner was prepared according to local conditions. The garrison commander specially invited a chef from the city to prepare a full-meat banquet of beef and mutton.

The beef and mutton in Hexi are particularly delicious. They are golden and tender when roasted, and are paired with spices unique to the Western Regions to satisfy people's appetite.

However, today, no one's mind is on food.

The guests invited to the banquet, in addition to Qin Yaoguang's family, also included the officials who came to greet them, all of whom were the core members of Yumen Pass.

Many officials were excited to be able to witness the princess and the prince up close.

During the banquet, the most talked-about topic was how the eldest princess and the prince and his wife joined forces to capture Juyan City.

This is a military achievement that is worth writing about and praising in any case.

When the conversation got excited, some people even composed poems and music on the spot, and sang while playing swordplay.

The frontier tunes are vast and magnificent, with a unique kind of passion, and the banquet was full of high spirits.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy.

Yan Yuanan picked up a piece of lamb and chewed it carefully. He lowered his eyes and kept an eye on the movements at the banquet out of the corner of his eye.

The defender was so excited that he apparently drank too much and didn't even notice the wine spilled out of the glass.

The general sitting opposite him got up drunkenly and went to the toilet with his shoulder.

Several dark figures flashed behind the pillars.

A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he looked at Yan Shouzhe who was sitting next to him and said a few words: It's time.
