Chapter 420 The Long Road

Xue Zhuang had a dark face and apologized to Song Liyun as soon as he entered the yard, saying that he would discipline her strictly when he returned.

Song Liyun did not comment on this.

She had no hope that Xu Yan'er would change, and only warned Xue Zhuang that this was the last apology, and from now on... there would be no future!

Xue Zhuang's face flushed red. He knew that he had been making mistakes again and again. If he wanted to keep his job, he had to give up something.

It is said that it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature.

Song Liyun finally understood that the conflict between her and Xu Yan'er was not a simple one and it could not be changed with just a few words.

From the first day in Suijin Town, Xu Yan'er and I didn't get along.

In order to show her pride, Xu Yan'er froze to death outside in the middle of the night and almost lost her life without any remorse.

Maybe Xu Yaner's brain only has this much capacity.

I beat this woman, scolded her, and even saved her life, but I couldn't change her mind.

This is probably what is commonly known as enemies.

No matter how well or badly she lives, Xu Yaner always compares herself with others and feels uncomfortable.

Song Liyun didn't care.

Just feel uncomfortable. Who would stop walking just because a toad is croaking on the roadside?

Two days later, Song Liyun met up with dozens of wedding cavalrymen who had been waiting there at the Balin tribe.

Everyone in the Bahraini tribe wore their most formal attire and hung colorful ribbons around their yurts.

Although Song Liyun is not a girl from the tribe, she is more important than the tribe members.

Song Zhenping led the horse for the dressed-up Song Liyun.

When he walked up to Elder Shan, tears were already streaming down his face. "Elder Shan, I'm handing Xiaoyun over to you. If your young master ever stops caring about Xiaoyun, you must return her to me. Otherwise, I... will not let you go even if it costs me my life!"

Elder Shan took over Song Liyun's reins, put his hand on his chest, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, big brother Song, Shan Da swears to the gods that the Wuda tribe will not let the young lady suffer any injustice! The young master will not let the young lady suffer any injustice either!"

The journey back to Qara Mountain was long, so the team did not stay in the Balin tribe for long before setting off.

Song Zhenping looked at the convoy disappearing at the end of the vast dry grass, her eyes swollen from crying.

Han Ming, who accompanied him, comforted him: "Young Master, the girl is not an ordinary woman. No one can make her suffer. You don't have to worry about her."

Han Ming has followed Song Liyun the longest and has experienced the most, and even understands her better than Song Zhenping.

Song Liyun has a strong personality and hates false flattery and compromise the most, and she has her own ways to do that.

If there were anyone in this world who could make her endure her anger, it would only be the two brothers of the Song family. Even Mr. Zhao would not let her surrender.

Song Zhenping wiped away a tear: "No matter how strong Xiaoyun is, she is just a woman.

I used to think that women were no different from men except that they were weaker.

But ever since Yang Hua got pregnant, I realized how difficult it is for women! "

Having said that, he wanted to cry again.

Before she became pregnant, Yang Hua was lively and capable, and was good at taking care of things both at home and outside.

But ever since I got pregnant, I started vomiting and could only drink water every day. I saw the fat on my face that I had worked so hard to build up disappear again.

It took three months for the vomiting to stop, but he still suffered from frequent back pain and leg cramps, so he massaged her all night long.

At this time, no matter how strong a woman is, she is like a bird with its wings clipped, and can only be manipulated by others.

If Xiaoyun was like this, would anyone in the Wuda tribe take care of her like this?

Ah Shi is a noble young man from a famous family. Would he be willing to massage Xiao Yun's back and feet?

After hearing Song Zhenping's words, Han Ming fell silent.

He and the young widow had no children.

Women nowadays have only been pregnant for a short time and have not had any children yet, so he cannot understand what the state of a pregnant woman is like.

Next to him, Song Zhenping was still chattering about the difficulties of being a woman.

Han Ming also began to think, if Lan Guo really had a child, should he be nicer to her.

Song Zhenping was not only worried about his sister's future, but also worried that Xiao An would not be able to adapt.

This time, Song Dekui did not go to Suijin Town to send the bride off. He had already gone from Hecheng to Mida River Valley to meet Song Erlang. The two of them went to Kala Mountain together as elders to witness the wedding.

The task of escorting the bride fell on Xiao An's shoulders.

Two years ago, he was a little fool who didn't even dare to look people in the eye, but now he has become a distinguished guest of the tribe.

In the cavalry team, Xiao An was also a little nervous.

He wore a fur hat, a thick cotton robe, and high boots, and rode on a horse with his body tense.

Ahead was an endless wilderness and low-lying mountain ridges in the distance.

The late autumn wind blew up the grass leaves, and the roars of animals could be heard faintly.

This place is completely different from the Wu Dynasty. Even though Xiao An has been to the Bahrain tribe, he can still feel the fear brought by the boundless wilderness.

Fortunately, Abu and Wudan were riding horses beside Xiao An.

Tell him some interesting stories about the grassland and try to make him feel more relaxed.

At the back, in the long convoy, there were several ornately decorated carriages, which contained the palace maids given by the Duke of Anguo.

After living in the Balin tribe for a few days, the palace maids already knew where they were going to live. They were all dejected and sat in the car without coming out.

Song Liyun did not take a carriage. She rode a horse and talked with Elder Shan.

"Elder Shan, wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to just leave these beautiful maids behind?"

Elder Shan just said that the young master is on the way and wants him to go ahead and meet up with Zhao Tingduo.

What Song Liyun was worried about was that these palace maids were given to Madam Uya by Duke Anguo, and that Nanny Xu was arranged by the Queen Mother. If they were abandoned, would it be impolite?

Elder Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Madam, your safety is above all else. Those are just servants from the Wu Dynasty. How can they be worthy of traveling with you?"

After returning to the grassland, Elder Shan lost his respectful and amiable attitude in front of these maids and became a fierce warrior of the Wuda tribe again.

In his words, even the Empress Dowager Wu was not in his sight.

That's how it is.

The Di people were not the common people of the Wu Dynasty. Apart from some favors to the Zhenbei Army, they did not care about other royal family members, let alone the maids in the palace.

Comparing the two, even Aunt Xu is not worthy of the Young Madam's trouble.

What's more, the young master is coming on horseback.

Speaking of Zhao Tingduo, Song Liyun now also stopped smiling.

In front of Song Zhenping, Song Liyun said that it was inconvenient for Zhao Tingduo to show up in Suijin Town. In fact, there were other reasons, but she didn't elaborate because she was afraid that he would worry.

This is the first winter since we conquered the Mida Valley, so we always need to be vigilant.

In addition to the newly reorganized tribes, the most dangerous are the scattered tribes that fled to various places to avoid war and famine last year.

These herdsmen are horse herders in the tribe, but when they are encountered alone in the wild, they are like carnivorous wolves.

Therefore, Zhao Tingduo not only left troops stationed in the newly built Mida City to control the newly acquired tribes around it.

Kara Mountain needs to be patrolled, and now troops need to be sent to welcome the bride, so the manpower is a bit tight.

To be safe, Zhao Tingduo did not go to Suijin Town, but patrolled the entire area and picked up the bride halfway.

Walking in the wilderness, the longer Song Liyun and his group stayed outside, the greater the pressure on Zhao Tingduo to patrol.

Now Elder Shan hopes that Song Liyun will put away her dowry and leave first under the escort of the cavalry.

Without heavy objects in the carriage, if we encounter horse bandits, the palace maids who cannot ride horses can be easily taken away.

On the grassland, Song Liyun never makes decisions on her own.

She decided to follow Elder Shan's advice, find an opportunity to pack up the heavy dowry, and leave with Xiao An and Madam Yun.

But before leaving, she still needed to go to the motorcade and communicate with Aunt Xu and others.
