Chapter 193: Marrying the Princess (26)
Four years later…
Gu Yuxi had just coaxed the four-month-old triplets to sleep when the eldest and second twins, a boy and a girl, started making noise again. She said softly, "Stop making noise. Let's go out."
"Go play with your sister and brother."
"Now my brother and sister need to go to bed. Eji will take you to see the foal."
The mother and her two children walked around the herd of horses and saw a Tibetan mastiff coming over with a puppy in its mouth.
"Eji, let me hug you."
"Moya, tell someone to let those puppies out to get some sun."
Inside those tattered wooden basins were a dozen or so little mastiffs, some of which were only twenty days old, their eyes slightly open.
Others came over, petted the puppies, and sat in one place to chat.
Cuihong: "Kehe Dun, in a few months, we will leave this place, and we are reluctant to leave."
"Maybe it won't take that long. We are already preparing."
"There are fleas. Wait a minute and they'll bite you."
Liu Xiang was holding a babbling baby, and Gu Yuxi felt that the days were passing quickly.
Those accompanying death warriors and secret guards have now become He Tuchi's right-hand men and have developed into the terrifying Black Shadow Cavalry, invincible in attack and battle.
The generals of the Black Shadow Iron Cavalry are Luo Feng, You Yan and others. They practice high-intensity fighting, martial arts, assassination and other things with extremely high impact.
Gu Yuxi also taught them a part of the Speed Girl Sutra, and their speed is their strong point when facing the enemy.
"I don't know when they will come back. If Luo Feng doesn't come back, his cub will be out of the shell soon."
"Mrs. Luo Feng, this is not an egg! How do you break the shell?"
"Cuihong, you're itching."
Gu Yuxi smiled. Now her only personal maid was Mo Ya. Cuihong married Sheng Baru and Liuxiang married Luo Feng. She wanted to find a good family for Mo Ya, but the other party was not happy.
Because she was sold at a low price to many places, by the time she became her maid, she had already lost her fertility.
"Don't pick it!"
"Flower!"
Gu Yuxi pulled her naughty child aside, and the servant said with a smile: "Ke Hedun, the eldest princess likes it, it's okay to pick a flower."
"These are medicinal herbs for healing our soldiers. Even if she is a princess, she cannot take advantage of her privileges."
Medicinal herbs such as licorice, Huangshi, and Bupleurum are growing everywhere here. Gu Yuxi and his team are pursuing all-round development. Not far away there is a group of blacksmiths who are making new cold weapons.
"Eji!"
"Princess, the wild flowers over there are blooming. Mo Ya, go pick them for you."
"I want my mother to pick it."
"That's great. Let's go over there and take a look at the farmland."
After getting on the carriage, Gu Yuxi and his companions soon arrived at the plantation. Many people were working hard to sow seeds and waiting for the harvest in autumn.
"Greetings to the Kahotun, the eldest prince, the eldest princess, and all the ladies."
"You guys keep busy, don't bother with us idle people."
"Ke Hedun, you have to deal with a lot of things every day. It is our blessing that you can come to us today."
Hejiang has now achieved self-sufficiency and has solved most of its food problems. Gu Yuxi and his colleagues have spent a lot of energy in recent years to tidy up Hejiang's internal affairs.
People of all ages have their own things to do. Children are responsible for reading and writing, while the elderly are responsible for some simple vegetable harvesting or medicinal material sorting.
The young men were responsible for military training and martial arts, regardless of gender. Women who were really not capable of doing this were responsible for logistics, clothing tailoring, weaving and other tasks.
The coverage of Hejiang's universal military service is now extremely wide, and with smoke of war rising everywhere around, they have given enough confidence to the frontline soldiers in the rear.
He Tuchi had already taken action and planned to unify the various tribes in Hejiang and the surrounding small countries. Now the only things left were those few small places.
"Khahadun, Khan and the others are back!"
"We're back, we're back!" This shout exploded on the grassland like thunder.
Suddenly, the originally peaceful grassland was filled with dust, as if the earth was cheering.
In the distance, the sound of horse hooves was deafening, getting closer and closer. Gu Yuxi and his men stared at the front and finally saw the Hejiang cavalry that had frightened the enemy returning.
The warriors, clad in heavy armor and riding on steeds, returned like an unstoppable torrent of steel.
Their figures shine with determination and courage in the sun, and each of them exudes an invincible aura.
The flags of the Hejiang Iron Cavalry fluttered in the wind, with patterns embroidered on them symbolizing glory and courage. They are the guardians of this grassland and heroes in the hearts of the people.
As the Hejiang cavalry approached, Gu Yuxi felt a powerful force coming towards him. Their return meant victory and the arrival of peace and tranquility in the rear area.
People came out of their tents to welcome their triumphant warriors.
"I'm back. I've been away for half a year. I'm finally back."
The man in the lead was riding a tall horse. He waved his whip, dismounted, walked over quickly and picked up Gu Yuxi.
"My dear Kehe Dun, I haven't seen you for half a year. Do you miss me?"
Gu Yuxi was held horizontally by the man and thrown into the air. She patted the man's shoulder and said shamefully, "Ah Chi, stop making trouble."
He Tuchi looked at the women and subordinates who had turned their eyes away. He leaned close to Gu Yuxi and whispered, "I'll make trouble again tonight."
When the woman pinched his waist, He Tuchi felt like he was tickled. He picked up his two sons who were full of admiration for him in each hand.
"Abu!"
He held the child in his arms and said to the generals, "Sheng Baru, reorganize the troops and rest. The day after tomorrow, we will slaughter pigs and sheep to celebrate. Seven days later, we will move the capital to Yuanzhou."
Everyone shouted, then dismounted and began to set up camp in preparation for the celebration.
"Hahaha, Cuihong, I brought gifts for you and your mother. Let me tell you when I get home."
Those who have a home return home, and the tribe is filled with joy and peace as they look for their loved ones.
After ordering the cavalry to retreat, He Tuchi and his men entered the tent. They looked at the three little people on the cribs with joy, wiped their bodies with their hands, and touched the chubby baby faces.
"How cute, worthy of being my kind."
Gu Yuxi looked at the man's boastful look and explained: "This is the third child, a little princess, the others are little princes, this is the fourth child, and the rest are the fifth."
After covering the child with a blanket, He Tuchi said, "Xi'er, thank you for your hard work."
"How dare you say that? Who asked you to be out for so long?"
The man touched his nose guiltily and said, "It's my fault. I broke my promise. I brought gifts for my little princes and princesses."
"where is my present?"
"I'll give it to you tonight."
"Mysterious."
He Tuchi took a deep breath on Gu Yuxi. His Ke Hedun had a milky scent on her body, and he liked this smell very much, especially since she was so soft and gentle after she became pregnant.
"Xi'er, I want to follow the tradition of Dongli and give our children a surname, He. What do you think?"
"Won't the priests tell on you?"
"How could that be? I have the final say. After all, the child's name is too long, and the people won't be able to pronounce it in the future."
