Tana was well prepared, and the horse bandits were quickly dealt with.
Even some who were resisting stubbornly became obedient after Tana said, "Tie up those who cooperate and bury those who resist."
The matriarch commented on this: "They've been able to survive on the grasslands for so many years because of their understanding of current affairs. Otherwise, with the Barbarian Kingdom on the left and the Zhou Kingdom on the right, they wouldn't have survived this long without some foresight."
Yan Tao suddenly realized.
This is really jumping around.
Having witnessed the actions of these horse bandits, Tana is now full of confidence in her future labor replenishment plan... well, it is to clean up the crime on the grassland and restore a peaceful and beautiful future.
This is the case with many things. When you know that the person you are targeting does not have the courage to fight to the death, but is good at surrendering, then things will be much easier.
Tana thought for a moment and then said to Yan Tao, "Fairy, I'd like to go to Hua'an County. If you or the fairies need anything, please feel free to contact my people. We will do our best to help you meet your needs."
Yan Tao was surprised and asked, "What's so important that you have to leave so late?"
Tana smiled and said, "What just happened makes me think that maybe the structure of the prison can be slightly changed."
"Why, do you think it's too big too?"
"No, it's too small. I'm afraid it will be full soon and won't be able to meet the demand."
Yan Tao: ...Ah?
In this day and age, is there anyone who would take the initiative to expand the prison capacity?
Tana didn't notice the other party's surprise, and continued, "Originally, I thought I only needed to wipe out a few bandits, but now it seems the treasure is even more attractive than expected. In that case, we should capture more, and the work will naturally be faster." She paused and added, "Of course, this will also contribute to the stability of the grassland."
Yan Tao, however, didn't care much about the reason why this person expanded his plan.
For her, completing the mission is the top priority, so the development of the grassland that enables her to complete the mission is the top priority.
Of course, more free labor is a good thing, and I naturally won’t refuse it.
But since Tana was going to Hua'an County, Yan Tao said, "Then I would like to ask you for a favor."
Tana bowed and said, "I dare not. Master Yan, just give your orders."
Yan Tao: "Wait a minute."
Having said that, he trotted back to his tent and came back soon.
In her hand was a scarf.
This scarf is pure white, feels fluffy and soft, and looks warm.
Yan Tao smiled and said, "Please help me give this to Xia Ying."
Tana was curious. She took it and looked at it with great interest: "This looks like wool?"
Yan Tao then remembered that the female leader had been busy with construction recently, especially building a prison, which was really tiring and she had no time to take care of other things. She was probably not aware that the wool loom had been invented.
She pointed to a slightly larger tent in the distance and said, "This is spun there. Right now, it's still manual. Once we find a stable energy source, we can ask Dechang County to ship equipment and mechanize it. Then, we can start producing things made of this wool."
Tana had previously "interned" at a paper mill in Dechang County, so she could understand 50% of what Yan Tao said.
As for the part she didn't understand, she didn't ask in detail at this time.
But she knew that Yan Tao's simple gesture was not just pointing to a tent or a machine, but a future of plenty of food and clothing for the grassland tribe.
Tana's fingertips trembled at the thought.
Yan Tao had no idea that a scarf could bring up so many associations for the female clan leader. She simply continued, "Senior Xia gave me a drink before, and I don't have anything to give him in return. This scarf is just a thank you."
A classmate nearby suggested, "Actually, it would be faster if you just transferred the points to him using your phone... Ouch!"
Before I could finish, I felt a headache.
Turning back, I saw Teacher Bian's calm face and heard her steady voice: "Talk less, look more, and don't tear it apart."
classmate:……? ? ?
Yan Tao obviously didn't expect the points transfer trick. She was stunned for a moment and was about to speak when she felt that the scarf in her hand had been taken away by Tana.
The female leader felt that she was now shouldering the great mission of delivering gifts between immortals, so she was naturally extremely cautious.
After putting the things away properly, he didn't waste any more time, mounted his horse, and headed towards Hua'an County under the stars and the moon.
In fact, even Tana had no way to accurately determine the direction in this vast grassland at night.
But the old horse knew the way, and the horse she chose was the most stable and intelligent one in the entire tribe. There was no need for light at all, and it sent Tana to Hua'an County overnight.
It was already noon when the matriarch arrived at the Princess's residence.
Since she was still the chief guard of the eldest princess, she entered the mansion without any hindrance.
Kong Shu was also very surprised to see her. She stopped painting the plum blossoms she was originally drawing, put down her brush, walked up to her and wanted to ask her something.
At this moment, someone came to report: "Your Highness, the Prince Consort is back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Tana immediately shut her mouth and stepped aside tactfully.
Kong Shu didn't hesitate at all and went out, lifting her skirt.
Then he saw the dusty and exhausted Prince Consort Luo and his entourage.
In fact, according to the distance between the capital and Hua'an County, they still have to wait a few days before arriving.
However, Prince Consort Luo kept speeding up his journey, even traveling day and night, so he was exhausted at this moment.
Even Lu Yuanbo, who came with him to be exiled, looked pale.
There were quite a few members of the Lu family accompanying them. At this moment, a young man who usually had a good relationship with Lu Yuanbai came forward, supported Lu Yuanbai, and complained in a low voice: "I've been told that you are not in good health. You are already thin, and you caught a cold in prison. You need to be more stable. But the prince consort refused to listen. If you get sick from overwork again, how can we explain to your father?"
Lü Yuanbai was indeed feeling unwell, but he didn't complain at all. Instead, he patted the arm of the person next to him and comforted him softly, "I was already a criminal. Fortunately, the king was lenient and allowed me to go to Hua'an County instead of being thrown into the military camp. This is already a blessing. I have no right to be picky."
The Lu family members still frowned. Although they didn't say anything else, their expressions still showed some dissatisfaction.
In his opinion, there was nothing wrong with what Lu Yuanbai did.
Shouldn’t the aristocratic families be criticized for the evil things they do?
How can it be right to arrest your own husband instead of the evil one who did the evil?
Does such a talented person deserve to be thrown into exile?
But Lu Yuanbo knew that his current situation was a blessing in disguise.
He was in a great mood and even smiled as he said, "Prince Consort Luo is in such a hurry. I'm afraid he's worried that the noble families will harm us along the way. He's considering our safety, so we should naturally relax and be more grateful."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the voice of Prince Consort Luo: "Shun Niang, I'm back. I traveled all the way here day and night without sleep, just to see you earlier."
Lu Family: ...
Lü Yuanbai: ...
Well, you're just being too sentimental.
They are just a couple who love each other like gods.
It's these single guys who don't understand.
On the way here, the eldest princess's mind was still full of the situation in the capital, the power of the aristocratic families, and the arrangements for the Lu family.
But the moment he saw Luo Zhongyan, he no longer thought about anything else.
She walked quickly forward, not caring at all about Luo Zhongyan's tired appearance. She reached out and hugged him, squeezing her whole body between his arms.
Then he raised his head and smiled brightly.
This smile stunned everyone.
Especially the Lu family members who came from the capital, all of them stared with wide eyes.
This, is this Her Royal Highness the Princess?
She was wearing a red dress, her black hair was like clouds, and especially her face was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, she looked like someone who had walked out of a painting.
It is precisely this good look that makes people even more surprised.
Everyone in the Zhou Kingdom knew that His Highness had his face disfigured in the war. He never showed his true face to anyone and often mocked himself for his ugly appearance, fearing that it would scare others.
But where can you see the disfigured appearance now? How can such a good appearance be ugly?
Does His Highness have any misunderstanding about the word ugly?
Kong Shu also felt everyone's gaze, and her eyes slowly swept over.
The eyes that had been gentle as water towards Luo Zhongyan just now became as cold as ice when they looked at them, so cold that they made everyone kneel down and salute.
The princess did not let go of her husband, still holding his waist, her face resting on his chest. She just moved her eyes and said in a light voice: "No need to be polite, turn your back and walk away."
Everyone immediately stood up, turned their backs to the two of them, and quickly distanced themselves from them.
Luo Zhongyan lowered his head slightly, hugged his wife back, and whispered, "Are you angry?"
Kong Shu buried her face in his arms and muttered, "No, I'm just worried that you'll feel uncomfortable."
But Prince Consort Luo knew that this person might have heard the Lu family's criticism just now.
Obviously, these scholars did not know the structure of the Princess's Mansion. It was empty all around, which not only made the view wide, but also allowed sounds to travel quickly.
The complaint from the young master of the Lu family just now must have reached Kong Shu's ears.
Luo Zhongyan, who heard the same thing, didn't take it seriously. He knew that his wife wouldn't care about it either. She probably just wanted to vent her anger and set rules for these new young people.
In response to this, Prince Consort Luo wanted to laugh in his heart but did not show it on his face.
He just held Kong Shu close and said softly, "Just scare them a little. We'll need them to do things in the future."
Kong Shu nodded and ignored it, then asked, "Did Brother Wang give you any trouble when you were in the capital?"
When this was mentioned, Prince Consort Luo's first reaction was that the King of Zhou had asked him a fatal question...
But he was afraid that Kong Shu would worry, so he didn't mention it. He only talked about the important things and ignored the part about his brother-in-law making things difficult for his brother-in-law.
Finally, he said, "The king asked me to bring you some honey-glazed meat jerky, saying it's your favorite." He paused, a little apologetically, "I've been married to Shu Niang for several years, and I didn't know this. I really deserve a beating."
But Kong Shu said: "Why hit you? I don't like eating that stuff anyway."
Prince Consort Luo was slightly stunned.
Then the eldest princess smiled, but pretended to be disgusted and said, "Back then, when the Queen Mother was still around, the cook in the small kitchen made this the best. My brother loved it, but he was shy and didn't want to ask for it. So every time I had to ask the Queen Mother to make some so that my brother could have some."
Prince Consort Luo suddenly understood, and then smiled and said, "No wonder the king protects you so much, you two have a very close brother-sister relationship."
"It's okay. After we get married, we'll be distant."
"But it seems to me that the king still cares about you. He even inquired about your hairpins, which shows that he protects you."
Unexpectedly, Kong Shu raised her head and said, "I knew it. He really did make things difficult for you."
Luo Zhongyan: ...
Looking at Kong Shu who was muttering, "Next time we meet, I will definitely use this matter to ask Brother Wang for something," the prince consort sighed softly.
I never expected that the purpose of that long paragraph about brotherly love was just to trick me into talking.
No wonder these two are brother and sister, their tricks are so deep...
On the other side, Tana also knew the situation and did not go forward to disturb them. She stood aside, but her eyes were looking at the Lu family members who were standing obediently with their backs to them as punishment.
Although the other party did not introduce himself, Tana already knew that a new teacher was coming to the grassland.
I'm afraid it's them.
So, based on the basic principle of friendly coexistence, Chief Tana slowly walked forward and wanted to say hello to his future colleague.
As a result, when she just stood in front of Lu Yuanbo, she found that his face was pale and he was visibly unwell.
She immediately took out the sheepskin bag she was carrying and handed it over: "This is filled with goat milk. Sir, drink some and you will feel better."
Although the Lu family did not know her, they knew that anyone in the Princess's Mansion would not be a bad person, so they naturally did not refuse this kindness.
Lu Yuanbai's vision was blurry, and he drank a few sips in a hurry.
I have to say that the milk tastes pretty good. I don’t know what is added to it, but it not only has no smell of mutton, but is instead extraordinarily sweet and fragrant.
Lu Yuanbai recovered a little and his mind became much clearer.
So he rubbed his eyes, stood up straighter, and wanted to thank the person in front of him.
But as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of honey-colored thighs...
? ? !
Before he could even finish his words, his face turned red.
Lu Yuanbo felt like he was about to pass out again!
Tana saw that the man started to stagger again and hurried to support him.
As a result, Lu Yuanbai took three steps back, covered his eyes with his hands, curled up and did not move.
Looks weak, helpless and pitiful.
Tana paused, looked down at herself, and said with a look of realization: "Why, sir, don't you like it?"
Lu Yuanbai didn't say anything, still covering his face and not moving.
Tana wasn't surprised by the man's reaction.
She had been to Dechang County and stayed in Hua'an County. Even though she did not understand the etiquette of the Zhou State before, after spending time with them, she more or less understood the temperament of the Zhou people.
Although women here have more freedom than in other countries, and there are even female generals like the eldest princess who lead troops into battle, their dress is still extremely conservative.
Both men and women wrapped themselves tightly.
People who are as "cool" as the grassland people are definitely an anomaly.
In order to respect the customs of the Zhou Kingdom, Tana had changed into local clothes when she was in Dechang County. However, today, she did not change her clothes because of the emergency.
As a result, the new teacher was embarrassed.
As a scholar, you are always more thin-skinned.
So Tana said, "If Master Lu doesn't like it, I'll change into something else later."
I thought this would make this person happy, but unexpectedly, Lu Yuanbo just waved his hand.
Although he still didn't dare look at the female leader, he was already trying to regulate his breathing and keep his voice calm. "It's okay. The immortal once said that existence is reasonable. Your customs should be respected. As an outsider, it's my responsibility to adapt to you..." He paused, "But, well, I hope that Leader Tana will give us some time to slowly adapt."
As he spoke, he grabbed his collar.
It seemed like if I moved a little slower, Tana would pull me over and strip me of my clothes.
This unexpected development surprised and amused the matriarch.
At the same time, Tana was relieved.
It seems that although Mr. Lu is a criminal, he is open-minded enough and should be easier to get along with.
So Tana showed a big smile on her face and happily saluted Lu Yuanbo as a disciple.
Lu Langjun saw the man's action out of the corner of his eye and instinctively returned the greeting.
However, once you bend down, you will inevitably see long legs...
So, when the eldest princess finally took her eyes off her husband, she witnessed the difficult action of the young man from the Lu family raising his head and bowing in return.
It was so stiff that it looked as if the arms and legs were newly attached.
Perhaps because the poses were too funny, the eldest princess's minor dissatisfaction with them disappeared.
After adjusting her mentality, Kong Shu had a gentle smile on her face. She let everyone rest in Hua'an County for one night, and then listened to Tana express her demands.
The eldest princess naturally agreed to expand the prison.
And agreed to let her take away half of the Lu family.
In particular, you can take away Mr. Lu Yuanbo, who was the top scholar.
Tana thought about how Lu Yuanbo looked at her just now, and although she was a little hesitant, she still agreed.
Then he said goodbye and went to find Xia Ying who was in the clinic.
At this time, Student Xia is conducting intensive drug research.
This dimension has many similarities with the previous world, but also many differences.
Just like taking different forks in the road of evolution, each species also changes.
This led pharmacy here to take another path.
While promoting new medicine, Langyun did not completely abandon local medicinal materials. Instead, it collected them, studied them using scientific methods, and classified them into different categories. Initial results have been achieved.
However, all of these operations are performed by professionals. As a student of surgery, Xia Ying is now more responsible for organizational work and giving injections part-time.
Perhaps because he had stabbed them so many times, many of the indigenous people who had been stabbed by him trembled when they saw him.
But they didn't know that Xia Xianjun also had troubles.
At this moment, he held up his cell phone and said to Tang Xinyang across from him: "I want to go to the grassland."
Tang Xinyang, who was debugging the network at Langyun School, said without hesitation: "There's no point in going there without a mission."
Xia Ying said nothing.
Tang Xinyang glanced at the other person and said, "Let's make it clear first. You can have a relationship, but our system doesn't have any love missions."
Xia Ying, who was always calm, blushed: "What are you saying? I don't understand."
Tang Xinyang chuckled and said slowly, "I exchanged your bottle of Coke with the system and had it sent to you."
Xia Ying stopped talking.
Just then, Tana came to the door.
She was straightforward, and this time was no exception. She quickly handed the scarf to Xia Ying.
Xia Ying took it. Without any other words, just the words "Master Yan asked me to deliver this" made Xia Ying hang the scarf around his neck.
Tana was surprised and glanced at the burning charcoal brazier in the room: "Um, Immortal Lord, aren't you hot?"
Xia Ying smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm cold, very cold."
Tang Xinyang: ...Haha, man.
Xia Ying seemed to want to change the subject and asked about the Lu family.
Tana naturally did not hide anything and told everything.
But when she talked about taking Lu Yuanbai to the grassland, she stopped talking.
Seeing the other person frown, Xia Ying knew that she might have some concerns about Lu Yuanbo.
Under normal circumstances, Xia would not get involved in matters between the indigenous people.
But today is different.
Someone brought me a scarf, and it was a gift from my junior sister Yan, so of course I had to help.
Don’t ask, just be happy.
So, Xia Ying took the initiative to ask: "Are you dissatisfied with Lv Yuanbai?"
Tana hurriedly shook her head, then hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "I'm worried that the young man won't be able to adapt to the environment on the grassland. After all, the grassland is not as good as Hua'an County, and the conditions are more basic. Plus, I saw him flushing so red today that he looked like he was about to faint, and he didn't even dare look at me. I'm afraid he can't hold on."
After hearing this, Xia Ying silently turned his eyes away, thinking to himself, he didn't know what else was going on, but the reason for his flushed face was right in front of him.
Even before she traveled through time, the matriarch's figure was definitely catwalk quality.
It is true that Mr. Lu is knowledgeable and talented, but he has not seen much, so it is normal that he cannot overcome his inherent weaknesses as a man for the time being.
Even if they do get sick, it’s just “thin-skinned syndrome.”
But Xia Ying didn't say any of this.
He seemed to have thought of something, his eyes moved slightly, and he subconsciously touched the scarf in his hand. Suddenly he stood up and said seriously: "I will go with you."
As he spoke, he applied for a new task through the system app.
Tana was surprised and quickly stood up: "Why is this?"
Xia Ying said righteously: "Of course it is to cure Mr. Lu's illness and help the grassland people to develop and grow better."
After hearing this, Tana was moved and bowed properly.
Only Tang Xinyang, who was on the other side of the phone, first looked at the newly appeared [Grassland Medicine Development 0/1] in the task list, then stared at the smile that Xia Ying could not hide on his lips, and finally rolled his eyes calmly.
I don't believe you.
