"promise……"

“We can’t count on the imperial army.” Pang De looked at the imperial troops around him. “I’ll have my father send another five thousand soldiers.”

"promise……"

"Alright, go quickly. Have Yuwen Tuo lead these five thousand soldiers straight to the Great Wall. We'll meet there and then head straight for the Xiongnu."

Soon, a dozen or so cavalrymen sped towards the capital.

Jiang Tian at this moment.

[Ding, Pound's rage value +2108]

[Ding! The rage value of the second-year high school slave under Pound has increased by 987.]

[Ding, Wang Tian, ​​the wicked servant under Pang De, has gained 656 rage points.]

【bite,……】

The system notifications kept ringing out; that beast Pang De had brought Jiang Tian another 50,000 rage points.

...

Five days later, Jiang Tian returned to Flying Fox City.

The county government office of Feihu City.

“Hongyu, come with me to the grasslands.”

"Yes..." Qin Hongyu was overjoyed when she heard that Jiang Tian was going to take her to the Xiongnu.

Fairy Miaomiao: "My lord, I will go with my sister and serve you along the way."

"No need," Jiang Tian refused directly. There were too many dangers along the way. Unlike Qin Hongyu, Fairy Miaomiao was skilled enough to take care of herself.

"This journey is too dangerous."

"My lord, I am not afraid." Fairy Miao Miao shook her head.

“Listen to me, the dangers along the way are beyond our imagination,” Jiang Tian comforted Qin Hongniang. “You stay home and take good care of my orchard and vegetable garden.”

The orchards outside the city still need you.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Miaomiao felt extremely disappointed.

"I won't be back for long."

Fairy Miao Miao nodded, then looked up at Jiang Tian's handsome face: "My lord, when will you be back?"

"It can take anywhere from a year to half a year."

"It's going to take this long?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Tian touched Fairy Miaomiao's pretty face, "It won't take too long."

…………

Princess Xue'er's courtyard.

"Your Highness, Lord Jiang has arrived." A palace maid ran up to Jiang Tian.

Princess Xue'er looked on expectantly: "Wherever he goes, I will go to greet him."

"Lord Jiang has arrived at the entrance of the back garden."

Princess Xue'er quickly walked towards the door.

"Your Highness, you look great." Jiang Tian held up a set of cosmetics that he had redeemed with fifty anger points.

In those days, girls didn't have any decent cosmetics.

Their rouge is made from flower petals, but in recent years, due to drought and little rain, the quality of the flower petals used to make their rouge has declined.

Many girls apply lead powder to their faces to make them look whiter.

To achieve a rosy complexion, these girls would apply a layer of cinnabar over the lead powder.

However, both lead powder and cinnabar contain highly toxic heavy metals.

Prolonged use can lead to lead poisoning and mercury poisoning.

How could Princess Xue'er, with her unparalleled beauty that seemed like a celestial being descended to earth, be allowed to suffer from heavy metal poisoning?

"This humble servant greets Your Excellency." Upon seeing Jiang Tian, ​​Princess Xue'er completely forgot that she was a princess.

“Your Highness, you can’t bow to me like that,” Jiang Tian said, holding a cosmetics gift box. “We’re about to set off for the Xiongnu. If you bow to me like that along the way, it will give you away.”

After all, you are now a precious princess, a woman of noble birth.

Princess Xue'er nodded repeatedly, looking at the exquisite box in Jiang Tian's hand.

Princess Cher had never seen anything so beautiful before.

This cosmetic gift box is beautifully packaged. The color, texture, and style of the box are all impeccable and look very high-end.

When Jiang Tian saw Princess Xue'er examining the cosmetics in her hand, he quickly presented the cosmetics gift box to her, saying, "Your Highness, this is for you."

"This is..." Xue'er blinked her big, expressive eyes and asked, "Sir, what is this?"

"I'll do your makeup." Jiang Tian walked towards the pavilion, and Princess Xue'er quickly followed. Various flowers were in full bloom in the back garden.

Peach blossoms and willows are green, everywhere is bright and beautiful.

The two sat down.

"Makeup?" Princess Xue'er looked incredulous.

Jiang Tian opened the gift box and took out a series of beautifully packaged glass bottles.

"This is for washing your face."

"This is for the face. When applied to the face, it not only makes the skin incredibly fair and white, but also smells wonderful. Moreover, it keeps your skin moisturized for a long time, keeping it hydrated and rosy all the time."

"This is lipstick, for applying to the lips. But I don't know which shade you like. So I've prepared a few more colors for you. Tell me which one you like, and I'll prepare a few more for you."

“And here are some face masks,” Jiang Tian said, taking out another large bag of face masks. “These are for you to put on your face after you wash it.”

Princess Xue'er never expected that Jiang Tian would understand women so well.

"this……"

Looking at all these bottles and jars in front of her, the little girl had no idea how to use them.

"Your Highness, please have the two palace maids, Ziyan and Hongxing, come over. I will teach them how to serve you when using these cosmetics."

Also, throw away all that lead powder and cinnabar.

“Those cinnabar and lead powder are highly toxic and are bad for your health.”

"Really?" Princess Xue'er looked incredulous.

"certainly."

Soon, two palace maids were summoned.

"Your Highness, please close your eyes first. I'll put a face mask on you so you can experience its benefits."

Princess Xue'er sat there respectfully and raised her head.

Jiang Tian tore open a face mask and evenly applied it to Princess Xue'er's breathtakingly beautiful face.

How are you feeling?

"It's a bit chilly."

"It will be ready in a little while." Jiang Tian asked a palace maid to bring a basin of clean water.

After a short while, Zijuan gently removed the face mask from Princess Xue'er's face.

When the palace maid saw that Princess Xue'er's already fair and delicate face was even more fair and delicate, the little girl couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"This... Your Highness seems even fairer and more delicate."

Princess Xue'er quickly washed her face with the help of two palace maids.

The girl touched her face and it did indeed seem much fairer and smoother.

Jiang Tian explained the uses of these bottles and jars one by one, and the two young palace maids quickly memorized them.

"Tell me when you're done using it, and I'll get you another one."

"Thank you, sir."

"Also, pack up in the next couple of days, and we'll head straight for the Xiongnu."

"Yes..." Princess Xue'er answered very decisively, without the slightest concern or fear.

"Aren't you worried?" Jiang Tian asked in return.

“I’m not worried,” Princess Xue’er shook her head. “I feel very safe with the adults.”

"My lord, to be honest, I was constantly worried about being married off to the Xiongnu on this journey in the carriage, but I felt much more at ease after seeing you."
