The results of this mission were great. Except for the deaths of Daxingyi and Li Shun, the people of Wei had won a victory they had never imagined before.
The trade route, which was originally thought to be opened only under the pressure of the relatives, the prince sent by Beiliang, the dowry that was several times more than expected, and the envoys sent by the countries of the Western Regions to Pingcheng, all said that they appeared in Beiliang even if they were not attacked. With the destruction of the Wei State, there is not much they can squeeze out.
In addition to the population of Beiliang, everything Wei needs can now be obtained from Beiliang, whether it is cattle, sheep or wealth.
For the people of Beiliang, they may all be vampires and robbers, but for the people of Wei, they have successfully completed their unexpected tasks on this day, and they are all great heroes.
Due to the time required for the return journey, He Mulan did not agree to the request of the caravans who wanted to be attached, no matter how much they were willing to pay.
Daxingyi was gone, and the safety of the return journey depended entirely on He Mulan's judgment and the strength of the Hu Ben army. In order to maintain stability, the route of the return journey was the same as when it came, but from Meng Yulong, He Mulan knew about Juqu Muqian. The words are not all alarmist, because sandstorms can strike at any time in the desert in autumn.

The more people you bring, the greater the variables. He Mulan didn't even ask Bei Liang to bring so many servants to Wei State. In her opinion, it was simply slowing down the journey. Princess Xingping's team dropped sharply from 1,000 people. To more than 300 people, all the escorting forces were completed by the Iron Guards and the Hu Ben Army, and the rest were purely slaves who could ride horses.
Of course, Princess Xingping dared not say anything about it, but now she couldn't help herself, no matter how she wanted to object, she could only admit it.
A group of people marched in the direction of Qinhan City. Meng Yulong was a Qiang from the north and had escorted the envoy of the Xia Kingdom several times. He was very familiar with this road.
When they arrived at Qinhan City, they would be greeted by officials of the Wei State, and there was no need for Meng Yulong to guide them.
"Sir, it's very hot outside, so you should stay in the car with Princess Xingping to escape the heat."
Anyway, there are people fanning or something.
Bodhi shook his head, his blushing face could barely steam buns.
"Girls are sitting in cars, men are riding horses."
For this, it seems that men in this era have their own persistence, whether it is the elderly or children. In the Wei Kingdom, He Mulan only saw disabled people riding in cars, even if the elderly and the young boy were riding horses or donkeys, the worst thing was to walk, and rarely ride.
But He Mulan was very afraid that Bodhi, who had thin skin and tender meat, would be dizzy due to the heat stroke, so he could only take off his cloak and put a cover on Bodhi's head.
To Bodhi, the wide cloak was no different from a quilt. Bodhi, who was stunned by the quilt, looked at He Mulan inexplicably: "What is General Hua doing?"
"Don't feel sultry. It doesn't matter if you wear one more cloak or one less cloak in this weather, but if you don't wear it, you will get sunburned. What about your cloak?"
He remembered that Meng Yulong took care of him as if he was taking care of his own son instead of his cousin. Not only did he prepare a lot of light cloaks, he also prepared a lot of anti-mosquito and anti-heatstroke medicines.
"I think it's heavy and stuffy, and I lost it in Sister's car." Bodhi put on his cloak uncomfortably, and looked at He Mulan, who had to close his eyes as his entire body was scorched by the scorching sun. Say thank you.
He probably knew why his mother rated Hua Mulan so highly.
The commotion caused by the "Xuanyi Mulan" in the Changming Palace is still the topic of many people's discussions. Maybe my mother trusts him not just because he has an honest and persistent side.
"How far is it to Pingcheng?"
Bodhi wanted to hide his discomfort and asked He Mulan.
"It took us five months to come." He Mulan was also very anxious, "The way back is even more troublesome, with more princesses and so many dowries, it's impossible to go fast, at least half a year."
Bodhi opened his mouth, but closed it.
What should he say? He wouldn't really be with them for half a year.
He Mulan rarely had contact with children, and arrogant children like Adanzhuo were even more grateful and insensitive. At this time, seeing Bodhi following her obediently wrapped in a cloak, he couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief, and followed Meng Yulong, who opened the way. Behind him has been towards the direction of the rising sun.
All the way to the east, all the way to the east, until the sky was dark, everyone finally found the oasis where they were going to camp today and began to set up camp.
This kind of experience is already too familiar to everyone, but for the pampered Princess Xingping and Bodhi who grew up in a small palace, it is like a thing in another world.
Princess Xingping was okay, He Mulan asked her to set up her tent first, and then invited her in to rest. Because of Juqu Mengxun's instructions, there was no man near Princess Xingping's tent except her tent, and He Mulan was ready to protect Princess Xingping and Juqu Bodhi. She was a woman anyway, let alone her. It's just that they live close together. Even if they live together, they won't say anything when they go back to Tuoba Tao.
Princess Xingping was surprised and delighted when she saw the two tents that were very close to each other, and was about to cry out with joy.
If this general is really a gentleman, how could he live so close to the emperor's fiancée? Guatian Lixia, she should be placed in the camp on Meng Yulong's side!
But Bodhi didn't care. He had promised Queen Meng to be by Hua Mulan's side, so he almost wanted to sleep with He Mulan without rolling around.
Zheng Zong guarded the little boy like a thief. He tried to say that he was afraid of the dark and wanted to live in General Hua's tent, but he was interrupted. Camp next to it.
The guards around Bodhi were all masters. Compared with him, He Mulan paid more attention to the safety of Princess Xingping, and turned a blind eye to Bodhi's swaying in the camp.
"What are you?"
Bodhi watched curiously as a soldier was baking a cake on a copper cooker.
"Is this a pot?"
Have such a flat pan
The soldier grinned and turned over the copper pot in his hand to show Bodhi.
"This is Ming Jin's gong to withdraw his troops. If you want pancakes, wash them just to make Hu pancakes."
Bodhi's eyes widened.
"Is that so?"
"That's right, Your Highness."
The soldier skillfully spread out the pancake again and explained with a smile.
"I'm not so particular about going out. It's good to be able to cook in a pot."

"Take it away, I won't eat it!"
Princess Xingping has not been taking Wushi Powder for a long time, only two years, but she is like most people who have been taking it for a long time. She seldom eats meat, but eats cold food and good wine, and her underwear must be extremely high. Soft old clothes.
Not to mention that since she was suspected of being pregnant, she wanted to vomit as soon as she smelled the meat.
Today, after a long day of traveling, the carriage is like a steamer. Even if there is a maid fan, it is unbearably hot. She takes off her coat regardless of the day when she is in the carriage, and sits in the carriage wearing only a plain gauze coat. It's still hot, and you can imagine how painful it is to get off the car and return to the account to rest.
She even suspected that if it wasn't for her good health, she would be able to torture the child in her womb and her life together!
Under such circumstances, the dinner was served with barbecued meat and hard dry cakes, which made Princess Xingping, who had no appetite, even tumbled in her throat and almost spit it out.
"I told you to take it, didn't you hear?!"
Xingping exclaimed in anger.
"Stay there with a meat pestle, and I'll throw you back home!"
The poor maid shook her body with the meat, but she still carried the meat down with tears in her eyes.
The other maids felt uneasy when they saw it. Princess Xingping hadn't eaten much for a day. If she didn't eat at night, she might starve.
They did not dare to be careless, and immediately pointed to an eunuch and ran to find Hua Mulan, the chief envoy of Wei.
When they found He Mulan, He Mulan was discussing the next day's route with Meng Yulong, and he didn't even bother to eat dinner. When the eunuch, Princess Xingping, didn't eat and drink much all day, and became angry at night. After the matter was said, Meng Yulong and He Mulan frowned.
He Mulan frowned because she was afraid that Princess Xingping would cause something to happen, while Meng Yulong felt a little ashamed.
"This princess has always been wearing brocade clothes and jade food in the palace..." Meng Yulong remembered the rumor that her aunt had said that she was taking Wushi San, and paused, "Maybe it's too hot to eat all day, so bring some dried fruits and melons. It should be appetizing."
Wushi powder needs to be eaten cold, and it is absolutely right to eat melons and fruits.
On the way of the march, fruits and vegetables were considered luxury goods. Fortunately, they came from Guzang. At present, the fruits and vegetables were not rotted. It was easy to want a few plates of fruits and vegetables. He Mulan nodded and went immediately. Let a few personal soldiers prepare melons and fruits, and personally bring the eunuch to greet the "beautiful woman".
Princess Xingping was really disgusting and uncomfortable, not a pretentious one, so when she heard He Mulan came, her first thought was panic, worried that the other party thought she was a spoiled and ignorant princess.
But the fact is in front of her. If she doesn't eat these things, she will starve to death. Instead of this, it is better to pretend to be weak and have the right to "order food". After weighing the two sides, she can only pretend to be unwell and want to Go to greet He Mulan who has entered the account.
Before He Mulan entered the tent, a fragrant smell of melons and fruits was first involved in the tent. It should be the cut honeydew melon and wave melon. As soon as Xingping smelled this smell, he only felt a shock, and his whole body was full of shocks. With strength, seeing He Mulan and the eunuch who came in with melons and fruits, they immediately smiled and said;
"As soon as I smelled greasy, I felt like throwing up. Today, I almost fainted from suffocation. Now I smell the fragrance of melons and fruits, and I finally come back to life!"
He Mulan asked people to put melons and fruits on the case. Hearing what Princess Xingping said was so serious, she was stunned.
"It's boring like this? Could it be the heat stroke?"
Stuck in the car, maybe something really happened.
He Mulan walked over with concern and wanted to observe the physical condition of Princess Xingping, but Xingping was struggling to find a way to get close to He Mulan, but seeing him approaching actively, he was instantly overjoyed, and the tenderness on his face became even more tender. Xian, just wait for him to snort as soon as he leans in...
vomit…
wrong!
Where does this sour smell come from!
Princess Xingping, who was about to collapse just now, smelled the sour and stinky sweat from He Mulan who was close to her, and her throat, which had just been smoked by melons and fruits, began to roll again.
"You stay away from me!"
Princess Xingping screamed involuntarily.
"Why do you smell so bad!"
Poor He Mulan couldn't even see Princess Xingping's complexion clearly, but she was startled by the woman's scream, and then a bewildered expression appeared on her face.
"Does it stink?"
After a day in the sun, the cloak was given to Bodhi...
He Mulan sniffed her underarms and body.
Seeing He Mulan's actions, Xingping, who just wanted to throw her arms around, was about to faint.
Although this general was born in the rough...
But he actually did it...
"It seems a little stinky..."
He Mulan scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Then take a good rest, princess, I won't disturb you when I go back. It's better not to seal up your carriage tomorrow. It might be better to open the windows to ventilate..."
How to open!
She was almost naked and cool!
Princess Xingping looked at He Mulan who was rubbing mud on her neck and walked away reluctantly, her bowels turning blue.
you don't go! Don't go, hey!
I can help you wash it when it gets dirty, but you come back wow!
When I think of myself in the future, I have to think of a way to seduce such a general who is sweating every day...
"vomit!"
"Princess, princess, why did you vomit!"
