On the afternoon of the third day, Jun Molin escorted the delegation from the three kingdoms and finally arrived at Guniu Gorge, which is eighty miles away from the capital.
The sun was already setting in the west, and it was too late to reach the capital.
"Distinguished guests, please rest here. We will depart early tomorrow morning and must arrive in the capital by noon," Pei Chen said to everyone.
"good."
"OK."
"no problem."
The delegations from the three kingdoms agreed, and they also planned to rest and recuperate tonight to be in good condition so they could meet Emperor Yin tomorrow.
"Tell everyone to be on high alert and not to let their guard down." Jun Molin dismounted, looked up at the towering mountains on both sides, and instructed Pei Chen.
The terrain of Guniu Gorge is semi-enclosed, making it easy to be ambushed.
"Yes, I will pass on the order so that the brothers will stay up all night and patrol all night." Pei Chen also knew that Guniu Gorge was easy to ambush.
“Sister, look, it’s Father and the others.” Jun Yanyan stood on the edge of the cliff on the mountain, looking at Jun Molin at the bottom of the cliff.
"Yes, it's your father and the others." Yun Qingran nodded, looking at Yun Qingbi at the bottom of the cliff. She was a little puzzled. Why was her older brother here? He didn't know any martial arts. What was he doing here?
Hey, who's that girl?! Yun Qingran saw Yan Shuangshuang get off the carriage. She was dressed in red, bright and flamboyant, with exquisite and beautiful features, and a noble and aloof temperament. She was definitely a mature and sophisticated woman.
"Princess Zhaohua, dinner is ready." Yun Qingbi walked over and bowed to Yan Shuangshuang.
It turns out that this is Princess Zhaohua, the next empress of Western Yan and the crown princess of Western Yan.
"Yes, I understand." Yan Shuangshuang raised her chin slightly, nodded, her posture noble and her aura powerful.
As the first crown princess in history, she was already of unparalleled nobility.
Yun Qingbi lowered her eyes, gave a farewell bow, and then turned and walked away.
“Your Highness, this young man is also handsome. Although his aura is a bit weaker than that of His Highness the Northern Cold King, he has a captivating beauty that is alluring yet not effeminate.” Chunhua was swooning again.
"This young man is named Yun Qingbi. He is the eldest son of Marquis Yun Xiao of Zhen'an and currently serves as the Vice Minister of Revenue. He is a promising young man," said Qiu Ju from the side.
"The eldest son of the Marquis of Zhen'an, Yun Qingran is his younger sister. I've heard that his sister indulges in all sorts of vices, including eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring, and is also fat and ugly," Chunhua whispered.
"Shut up, talk less and eat more. No, eat less too, and remember Xiyan's reputation." Yan Shuangshuang glared at Chunhua slightly.
"Oh." Chunhua nodded and obediently followed behind Yan Shuangshuang.
Dinner was held in a tent, where Jun Molin, Nangong Ye, Luo Ru, and Yan Shuangshuang sat together at a table.
"Your Highness, Prince Beihan, Your Highness, Prime Minister Luo, this is my Western Yan's Jade Ice Wine. It is made from snow water from the top of Thousand Eyes Mountain and brewed by the Lisu people halfway up the mountain. It is stored in a jade jar and left to sit in the Heavenly Pool for more than ten years before being taken out. It has a clear and sweet taste. How about you all try it?" Chunhua and Qiuju each held a small jade jar, from which a refreshing aroma of wine wafted.
"I've long heard that Xiyan's Jade Ice Wine is exceptionally delicious, a top-quality wine. I never thought I'd have the chance to taste it today." Nangong Ye looked at the jade jar and licked his lips.
"Then this servant will add some more for everyone." Chunhua stepped forward to serve wine to Yan Shuangshuang and Jun Molin, while Qiuju served wine to Nangong Ye and Luo Ru.
"Everyone, please." Yan Shuangshuang raised her wine glass with her right hand, supported the bottom of the glass with her left hand, and drank the wine in one gulp.
Nangong Ye only raised his wine cup to drink after seeing Yan Shuangshuang drink. Although Xiyan had absolutely no guts or reason to harm the people of the other three kingdoms, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Luo Ru, who loved wine, also raised his glass and took a sip. "The taste is indeed sweet and refreshing."
Just as Jun Molin was about to drink, Pei Chen suddenly entered and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Gentlemen, I have some matters to attend to. Please eat first." After hearing this, Jun Molin stood up and was about to leave.
"Your Highness, King of Northern Cold, please try some of this wine." Chunhua stepped forward with a forced smile and handed the jade jar in her hand to Jun Molin.
Jun Molin glanced at the pale jade-colored wine in the jade jar. The color was beautiful; most girls would probably like it.
"Thank you." Jun Molin took the jade jar containing the wine, turned around and left the tent.
As Chunhua watched Jun Molin's departing figure, she squeezed her hands, which were folded over her lower abdomen, tightly.
"Let's continue," Nangong Ye urged Luo Ru and Yan Shuangshuang to continue drinking.
"Yan Yan and An An, we're going to sleep here tonight. Are you two scared?" Yun Qingran set up a small tent, planning to take the two children camping.
The tent was lined with thick mats, with cowhide leather at the bottom to prevent moisture from getting inside.
"I'm not scared with my sister here," Jun Yanyan said coquettishly, clinging to Yun Qingran's arm.
"Yan Yan, open your mouth and let me see if there's honey on your lips." Yun Qingran lifted Jun Yan Yan's little face and looked at her with a warm smile.
After spending two days with Jun Yanyan and Jun An'an, Yun Qingran found that the children weren't so difficult to take care of; the two little ones were quite fun.
Jun Molin: You didn't mention a word about the hardships you endured in your first three years!
"Ah!" Jun Yan opened her mouth, showing it to Yun Qingran.
Yun Qingran poked her little belly, and the two rolled around together. If Jun An'an hadn't remembered the difference between men and women, she definitely would have rolled around with them too.
Just as the three were having a great time, the tent suddenly went dark. When they looked up, they saw a person standing at the tent entrance, blocking the light.
"Father."
"Father."
The two children recognized Jun Molin at first glance.
"Yan Yan, An An, are you being good?" Jun Molin tossed the jar of jade ice wine to Yun Qingran, then swept the two children into his arms.
