Jiang Yanli coughed lightly:
"Little sister, don't be angry, big brother is leaving..."
He tried to use separation to suppress Jiang Zhili's anger.
Jiang Zhili sneered and turned back to the bedroom.
Half an hour later, at the gate of the capital.
Jiang Zhili and Yuan Mo stood on the city wall, watching Jiang Yanli walking away from the city.
She still had to see her elder brother off when he left.
Thinking of the Wolf Lord and Khatun who were far away in the tribe, Jiang Zhili felt a surge of longing in his heart.
This time, the eldest brother came and brought a lot of things that Khatun made for the baby.
The beauty beside him had a sad look on her face, Yuan Mo's heart tightened and he hugged her into his arms.
"When Yuanxi and Yuancong grow up a little, I will go back to the tribe with you," Yuan Mo promised softly.
Jiang Zhili pinched the man's fingers and said, "If you don't accompany me back to the tribe, I will go back by myself."
Yuan Mo kissed her forehead and said, "Of course I will go back with you."
The days passed like this, spring went and winter came, and in a blink of an eye, five years had passed.
On the grassland, in the tribe.
Today is the day Jiang Zhili returns. The whole tribe is looking forward to it. Khatun has been waiting for him on horseback early in the morning.
When she saw Ming Yuan's carriage team appear on the grassland, her heart couldn't help but beat faster.
It has been five years since I last saw Xiao Li.
Xiaoxier and Xiaocong are still young, so it is not suitable for them to travel. She has been busy with grassland affairs in recent years, so it is very difficult for her to go to Mingyuan to see Xiaoli!
The wolf lord, who was also riding on a horse beside him, also had slightly red eyes.
Xiao Li was his darling, and he hadn't seen her in five years. He missed her terribly. Even though he sent her letters frequently, he still worried that Xiao Li would be bullied in the distant Ming Yuan...
The exquisite and low-key carriage slowly stopped in front of them, and Achan lifted the curtain of the carriage.
"Grandpa Wolf Lord! Grandma Khatun!"
A clear child's voice came from the carriage, followed by two small figures running out, one pink and one white.
The pink one is in front and the white one is in the back.
The pink one was naturally Yuanxi, and the white one was Yuancong. The two little girls had just turned five, and were incredibly cute, like the children under the seat of Guanyin.
Even though these two little kids are only five years old, Jiang Zhili arranged for them to learn martial arts when they were three years old.
Originally, Jiang Zhili only wanted Yuan Cong to learn martial arts, but Yuan Xi also clamored to go, and since Yuan Xi was very lively and active, he let her go.
Practicing martial arts is very hard and tiring. I thought Yuanxi would give up after suffering so much, but this little kid actually persisted and did very well. Even the teacher praised him several times.
"Hey! My little Xier, my little Conger," Khatun quickly got off the horse and hugged little Yuanxi and little Yuancong in his arms.
"Grandma Ketun, Xiaoxi really misses you!" Yuanxi's words were very sweet. She buried herself in Ketun's arms and acted coquettishly.
Yuan Cong became much more reserved. His small figure leaned in Khatun's arms, and he just looked around with his black and white eyes blinking.
This is the tribal border, an endless grassland with many big horses standing on the side. All of this is different from the capital and is new.
At this time, Jiang Zhili was also helped down from the carriage by Yuan Mo.
Although there has been a gap of five years, the appearance of Jiang Zhili and Khatun has not changed much, and they are still the same as five years ago. It seems that time has stopped five years ago.
"Xiao Li, you are finally back..." A smile appeared in the Wolf Lord's eyes, and five years of longing turned into a call.
Jiang Zhili got off the carriage and went forward to hug the Wolf Lord.
A father’s hug is always so warm, a warmth that no one else can give.
“Meow meow meow——”
The sleek sheriff jumped out of the carriage, his big cat eyes full of curiosity.
This time, the sheriff also followed. He was smart and didn't do anything rash. He didn't cause any trouble to Jiang Zhili at all, which made him very worry-free.
"Grandma Khadun, Grandpa Wolf Lord, Xiaoxi is hungry and wants to drink milk!" Yuanxi touched her soft little belly.
The corners of Khatun's lips never fell: "Okay, okay, if you're hungry, grandma will take you back to the tent to eat barbecue and drink milk."
The group re-equipped themselves and headed towards the camp.
Yuan Xi and Yuan Cong were clamoring to ride horses, so Khatun and the Wolf Lord each carried the two little kids onto the horses, while Jiang Zhili and Yuan Mo got back into the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Yuan Mo held the beauty in his arms.
It was autumn now, and the cool breeze from the grassland blew into the carriage through the window curtains. Jiang Zhili leaned in the man's arms, feeling a little drowsy.
"It's just a break. It's still a while from here to the camp."
Zhizhi must be tired after such a long journey.
Jiang Zhili nodded, leaned on Yuan Mo's arms and slowly fell asleep.
An hour later, the carriage team arrived at the camp, and it was already dark.
A bonfire had already been set up outside the tent, and the aroma of barbecue made people's mouths water.
Jiang Yanli personally roasted the lamb for his sister, and the sauce he used on it was all made of spices, which was very precious.
The banquet on the grassland is all about bonfire and barbecue. The men and unrestrained girls of the tribe are eager to try it out. When they see Jiang Zhili and his group returning, they all kneel down.
"Welcome the princess, welcome the prince!"
Here, Jiang Zhili will always be Mingzhu, always their princess.
"Xiao Li, everyone has been waiting for you for five years," Khatun said with a little excitement.
In the battle against Japan five years ago, the alliance between the tribe and Mingyuan would not have progressed so smoothly without Xiaoli's intermarriage. If Xiaoli's gunpowder formula had not been available on the battlefield, Japan would not have surrendered so easily.
In addition, Jiang Zhili went to the battlefield while pregnant, so the entire tribe regarded her as Tenger and regarded her as a belief.
In such an extreme environment as the grassland, being lucky means having Tengger's favor.
As a princess of the grassland, Jiang Zhili is worthy of Tengger's favor!
"Everyone, please stand up," Jiang Zhili stepped forward and raised her hand slightly, signaling the people of the grassland to stand up.
Everyone stood up and the bonfire dinner officially began.
The banquet on the grassland was not as extravagant as that in Mingyuan, but it had the unique unrestrainedness of the grassland.
Under the moonlight, everyone gathered around the campfire, eating barbecue, singing and dancing. The two little kids were having a great time, and the sheriff was also showing off his barbecue.
Everyone had a great time.
Jiang Zhili drank a few glasses of wine and became tipsy. Seeing her cheeks flushed, Yuan Mo asked softly, "Are you tired?"
He saw that she didn't seem to eat very much.
Jiang Zhili nodded and placed her slender hand on the man's arm: "I'm a little tired. Come with me back to the tent to rest."
After traveling for many days, she wanted to rest early tonight.
Yuan Mo nodded, and after personally greeting the Wolf Lord and Khatun, he helped Jiang Zhili walk towards the tent.
Jiang Yanli, who was carrying a plate of barbecue, looked at the two men from behind and muttered, "They're still talking about a drinking contest, but monks really can't handle it."
[Jiang Yanli: My useless brother-in-law!]
