During this period, the grasslands are like sponges absorbing water. The people on the grasslands are diligently learning to farm and cultivate the land, and both children and adults can speak a few words of the Central Plains dialect.
When the people of Yalan Royal Court received Da Ni'er's letter, Da Ni'er's stepfather's hands were trembling.
Great! I can finally go to Dayan to see my wife legitimately.
Before leaving, Da Nier left a message: the tribal chief must not leave the tribe without permission, and she arranged a lot of things for them.
The Duanwei tribe is now the most powerful tribe on the grasslands, on par with the Yalan Royal Court.
Both of these forces have to go this time.
Da Ni'er's stepfather was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling after reading the letter.
Hurry up and finish the call, then I'll pick up my wife on the way.
Call the troops, march swiftly!
Let's go now! Immediately! Right now!
People on the grasslands are quite peace-loving now. Who would want to fight when they have enough to eat and drink? Isn't it good to be alive?
But upon hearing the news,
Someone is bullying their goddess.
Their new king is calling for people to come and take revenge.
This was the first battle fought by the new king of the grasslands, and it was fought for the goddess.
We must go!
Less than two months later, 50,000 elite troops from the grasslands braved wind and rain to travel from Pingyang to Dongyu.
When they arrived, Da Ni'er was standing there thinking, "How did you manage to kill me? It's not enough. You have to pay me some money."
Long'er said that she could keep the money herself and use it to hire a few skilled farm disciples to stay in the grasslands.
"Your Highness, your men have arrived at the city gate."
The governor of Dongyu County didn't know how to describe this group of people. He had never seen them before. They had bald patches, were covered in fur, and their white sheepskins were completely blackened, as if they hadn't bathed. They also smelled quite strongly.
This has caused great anxiety among the people of Dongyu.
They had never seen the Xiongnu in their lives.
Da Ni'er snapped out of her reverie, nodded to the Prefect of Dongyu, and said:
"Come on, come with me to the city wall for a speech."
"Then you tell everyone in Dongyu City to boil some hot water, boil everything you can, and send it to the city gate. Don't let the young women and wives go there yet."
"Yes," the Prefect of Dongyu replied.
The woman was dressed in traditional grassland attire today, with one arm exposed. Her bronze skin was strong and powerful, and the muscles on her arm were clearly visible.
Her hair was braided into several small braids and scattered with her long hair. The headband on her forehead was rather ugly, clearly a practice piece made by Huo Xiaolong when he embroidered a veil for Cen Ang.
But Da Ni'er didn't mind.
What's the big deal?
She misses Huo Xiaolong so much, why would she care about looking ugly?
Hou Xiangxiang followed behind Da Nier, carrying her medicine box. She didn't want to come, but her friend insisted, and Da Nier said so.
“You are the legendary female healer on the grassland. Besides Huo Xiaolong, you are the only one who can speak for her. The two of you have more influence than I do.”
This is all thanks to Ha Die's clever talk.
The little girl was dressed in a white medical coat, just like she had been on the grasslands back then.
She stood behind Wang Tianci, watching the grassland king address the soldiers.
"king!"
Before Da Ni'er could speak, the soldiers were already kneeling on the ground. The dark-skinned woman raised her eyebrows slightly and said loudly:
"I called you here for one thing!"
"Da'an has gone too far, causing the goddess to suffer. We men of the grasslands cannot bear to see the goddess suffer, so we have quelled this rebellion!"
"I want Da'an to never be able to hold his head up in front of the goddess again!"
"Can it be done?"
Outside the city wall, it was pitch black and crowded with people. Hou Xiangxiang stood on the city wall, her clothes fluttering in the wind.
The grassland soldiers all saw it, and the divine healer was there too.
With her by my side, even death would be painless.
"We will certainly not fail the goddess's wish!"
Da Ni'er nodded, walked down the city wall, called over her stepfather and the people from the Yalan Royal Court, and whispered a few words to them.
"Hurry up and take a shower. The epidemic has just been brought under control. Someone will come over with hot water and a bucket soon. Watch them wash and rinse."
"Your Majesty, aren't you in a hurry to start a war?"
"No rush. After you've taken a bath, rest for a few days, eat and drink well, and then we can fight," Da Ni'er replied.
The grassland soldiers who were able to come here had almost all been fighting since they were young, growing up on horseback and amidst the clash of swords.
Looking at the steaming hot water in front of them, they thought it was some kind of sacrificial ceremony performed by the goddess before a battle.
As a result, the leader and the nobleman made them wash themselves clean one by one.
They openly and honestly fenced off several open spaces.
They could be seen clearly from the city wall, and even the roughest soldiers felt a little embarrassed.
"Chief, can we take a shower tonight?"
"Will you be able to see the bucket filth at night?"
"Well... what about in broad daylight? Don't people from the Central Plains have certain customs regarding this?"
"The people of the Central Plains have it, but our king doesn't. Go wash it quickly."
Some people tried to resist, but suddenly they smelled a fragrance coming from inside Dongyu City.
It tastes like the rice and noodles they couldn't bear to eat at home.
"Hurry up and wash, then we'll eat."
Steaming hot steamers were brought over on a cart, along with several large pots filled with pork.
The grassland soldiers didn't understand how it was made; they just thought it looked nice and smelled good.
The pot next to it looks like it's stewing chicken; I wonder what's in it, it looks so delicious and tempting.
Mediterranean swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on the pot. He stopped struggling and rebelling, and ran towards the tent while taking off his clothes.
"Hurry up, wash up and eat."
What kind of food?
"I can't smell it? Rice, noodles, and I don't know what the vegetables are called, but they look delicious."
Da Nier knew all too well what they liked to eat: rice, noodles, pork, and anything oily, especially lard.
As for cattle and sheep, forget about it, they'd definitely reject them.
There's plenty of fruit in Dongyu; we'll send them some more after we finish eating them.
If this kind of food existed before Huo Xiaolong conquered the grasslands, there would be no need for any goddesses or anything like that.
As long as you say, "If you follow me, you'll get a bite of this every few days," people from the grasslands will flock over.
Now,
As Da Nier watched the grassland people eating with their somewhat rough manners, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
That's good too. At least she didn't embarrass herself. She may have been a bit greedy, but at least she's seen the world.
father,
Does your daughter take good care of the grassland?
The dark-skinned woman looked up, watching the setting sun dye the sky blood red, and silently recited in her heart.
The little girl carried down a bag of digestive pills, and she saw several people eating until their bellies were bulging.
