Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Opposite him was Jiang Sile, who was wearing riding attire and had a slight smile on his face.

"It's indeed me... Ayishi!"

This slight sigh or exclamation woke Ayishi from his dreamy scene.

……

Now let's go back three days.

At that time, Jiang Sile was slowly walking through the terrifying yellow sand desert with her guards.

Ever since the day she left Qingyi Royal City, that is, when Jiang Sile pried out the whereabouts of A Yishi from Wu Xian's mouth with great difficulty, she led a group of people towards Mulkan who Wu Xian mentioned.

Most of the guards accompanying her were the guards who had been led by Li Yancheng to escort Jiang Sile to Qingyi.

At that time, there were about 300 people in this group of people who escorted her to Qingyi, but now there are only 50 people.

Some of them died in the war - in that civil war, they died on the battlefield at the hands of the Daxia people who were of the same blood lineage.

Afterwards, Jiang Sile properly placed their remains before returning to Qingyi. Most of the people from the Ministry of War took their ashes back to their hometowns, and some who had no hometown or living family members were sent to their hometowns. Buried on the land of Daxia.

The battle was brutal, but fortunately it ended well in the end.

Some people were originally unwilling to stay in Qingyi, but now before leaving, they asked Jiang Sile to stay in Daxia.

Jiang Sile had no reason to disagree. They had done enough and it was good enough.

They stayed with him in this barbaric land for a year. Jiang Sile has not forgotten this feeling and help.

So, after sending off about a hundred people intermittently in Jiangzhou, Jizhou, Chengzhou and other places, Jiang Sile continued to enter Qingyi's territory.

Among the remaining 50 people, there are young people who do not want to go home and want to build a great career, and there are also poor homeless people.

The current leader of this group is Jiao Wen. He is said to have joined the army at the age of 11, and he has been in the army for [-] years now.

After Jiang Sile's continuous questioning, she learned that Jiao Wen had lost his father since he was a child. In the third year after he joined the army, news came from home that his mother had died of illness in his hometown.

As a result, Jiao Wen devoted almost all of his life to the army.

He was 40 years old when he went to Qingyi. Logically speaking, he was already so old and should not have appeared in the mission's convoy.

However, Li Yancheng was once his direct superior in the Forbidden Army. Seeing that he was honest and calm, after thinking twice, he took him away as a member of the mission's guard.

Jiao Wen is also very grateful to Li Yancheng, the old boss. This time, Li Yancheng received His Majesty's order, and he will stay near the capital in the future. He can no longer follow the princess back to Qingyi. The princess's guard was handed over to Jiao Wen.

Facts have proved that his choice was right, and the veteran Jiao Wen was indeed the most suitable one.

He was loyal and never argued against Jiang Sile's orders; he was calm and meticulous, and when he was in Qingyi, he always avoided conflicts between his subordinates and the Qingyi people.

During Jiang Sile's trip, Jiao Wen was also responsible for the planning on the road and the trivial matters of the team.

And Jiang Sile also placed a lot of trust in him, almost completely trusting him in all his plans.

Since Luzhi left, there is no one around her.

Those eunuchs and maids who originally followed Jiang Sile to Qingyi under the late emperor's imperial decree were sent back to their hometowns by Jiang Sile before that expedition. Since Jiang Sile was their master, Jiang Sile could directly let them return home without the need of the court. Agree over there.

Gone... they're all gone.Fortunately, he has learned how to wear the clothes here, Jiang Sile laughed at himself.

Her riding skills have also improved a lot during the days she lived in Qingyi.After all - besides grassland, Qingyi is still grassland.

Only when he arrived in Mobei did Jiang Sile realize that Qingyi not only had grasslands, but also deserts.

And it's still a huge desert.

The rolling yellow sand seemed to bury everything, and sometimes the horses would get stuck in the empty sand pile in the middle. It can be said that their journey was not easy.

They have been walking in the desert for three days. Fortunately, the direction should be correct. According to Jiao Wen's estimate, they will be able to walk out of the yellow sand of the desert in one day.

This is good news.

After all, Jiang Sile was complaining in her mind before that Wu Xian might want to trap her to death in the desert.

Her guess is not unreasonable, after all, this was in ancient times!The death rate in the desert should be no less than when climbing a snow-capped mountain.

Wherever they looked, it was either yellow sand or yellow sand.

The only bit of green is the prickly prickly pear cactus.

However, seeing this familiar plant made Jiang Sile feel better.

People always like familiar things, especially in unfamiliar places.

Their group of horses continued to move forward silently in this land filled with yellow sand.

After another day of trekking, everyone finally saw a touch of green among the eternal yellow sand.

After the desert is a hilly terrain. There is not much green vegetation, but it is better than nothing.

Now that they have passed the endless yellow sand, all of them look friendly when they see green. Even Jiang Sile can't resist the charm of green. He pulls out a small yellow flower from the blooming wild flowers and puts it in his hand. On the palm of your hand.

After passing through this section of the desert, it can be seen with the naked eye that the places and tribes behind these are in a lot of desolation. Even the horse farms are not as many as before the desert.

The people in the small village where they stayed were very cautious. Seeing them, so many people on horseback kept their doors tightly closed.

Jiao Wen said he saw locals secretly placing kitchen knives on their waists.

After a night's rest, the group of them continued to move forward, because the purchase of rations became more and more difficult as they went further.

When he arrived at a tribe that was more prosperous than other places, Jiao Wen went out of his way to exchange for more food.

But this also made them couldn't help but let a horse carry food.

Finally - everyone let out a long sigh.There is only one day left to reach the place that the princess never forgets - the shabby place called Mulkan.

Jiao Wen and the guards on horseback were very excited, which meant that they could finally have some time to rest from their long journey.

Jiang Sile was also very excited. After all, for this day, she and Wu Xian almost met each other in battle.She couldn't wait any longer.

They rested for the night and started their journey again the next day.

Everyone rode their horses and chatted.
