Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 106 Captive

The Xiongnu people, who were tightly bound to the cold ground of the training ground, were originally immersed in sleep, but were suddenly awakened by the deafening shouts.

They stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with terror, as they looked around, only then realizing that they had become prisoners of war!

What surprised them even more was that the imposing soldiers, dressed in the uniforms of the Great An Kingdom, were now all surrounding a petite little girl, loudly expressing their loyalty.

What is going on?

These Xiongnu people were filled with doubt and had no idea how things had developed to this point.

I just took a nap, how did I end up becoming a prisoner after waking up?

Is there anyone who can step forward and properly explain to them what's going on?

At this moment, Su Yue, who was standing to the side, was so excited that her face turned red, her big, watery eyes curved into crescent shapes, and her cherry-like mouth was smiling from ear to ear.

She quickly beckoned Liang Rong over and hurriedly instructed, "Quickly, quickly, get all these people out there to do some work, don't let them be idle!"

After giving her instructions, Su Yue turned and left, satisfied.

She moved with light steps, like a cheerful little deer, while Dali, following closely beside her, also had a big smile on his face.

She was happy as long as Su Yue was happy.

Oh, so tomorrow is the annual Spring Festival.

Su Yue was thinking about getting home as soon as possible so that the clever and lovely maids in the manor would have enough time to prepare a sumptuous and delicious feast.

Today, Qingshi Town is no longer the bustling and prosperous place it once was. Most of the town's residents have either fled famine or lost their homes and families due to war.

However, in order to win the respect and love of more people, and also to allow the people who stayed behind to have a prosperous and joyful New Year.

Su Yue decided to give each household a piece of fresh pork so that everyone could make dumplings and happily welcome the new year.

Then I'll have faith in myself properly next year.

Su Yue and Dali rode together on the same horse on their way home. Before they even reached Qing Shi Town, a light snow began to fall from the sky.

The snow that had covered the ground had not yet completely melted, and now fresh snow was falling again.

No one could predict how heavy the snowfall would be.

However, this may not be a bad omen, as the saying goes, "A timely snow promises a bumper harvest."

At this moment, Su Yue was completely wrapped in a thick cloak, with only her bright eyes showing. Even so, the howling cold wind still tried to penetrate her clothes, making her shiver uncontrollably.

The two clung to each other closely, yet Dali felt no cold at all; in fact, he was secretly delighted, wishing they could stay so intimately close forever.

Today, Dali defeated the Xiongnu again, and he felt exceptionally happy.

Ah Yue added that tomorrow is the New Year, and she will be able to enjoy delicious food again, which made her very happy.

At this moment, Dali felt as if she were immersed in endless happiness, and the sweet feeling was almost melting her.

Looking back on the past, Dali has never been as happy as she is now.

In the past, everyone regarded her as a fool and did not want to play with her. She could only watch from afar behind the other children.

Only her father and mother doted on her, while everyone else mercilessly mocked her as a stupid little fool.

Things are very different now! Because she has such a good person as A-Yue, A-Yue has never shown her the slightest dislike.

Instead, he always generously gave her countless delicacies, all of which were rare and exquisite foods that she had never heard of or seen before.

Not only that, Ah Yue also promised to take her along to avenge her father and mother!

So from now on, no matter what happens, she will stay firmly by A-Yue's side and never be separated from her.

At this moment, the two were riding a fine horse together, and before they even reached the city gate, the heavy gate slowly opened.

Su Yue didn't even pause for a moment before driving her horse straight back to her own courtyard.

As soon as Qiaoxiang noticed the noise coming from outside the door, she immediately ran out in quick, small steps.

When she recognized the person as Su Yue, her face instantly lit up with a joyful smile, and she hurried forward to greet her.

Carefully, he removed the snow-covered cloak from Su Yue's body and gently shook it, trying to shake off the snow.

"My Lord Immortal Envoy, you're finally back! Qiaoyun, hurry up and bring over the food you've prepared!" Qiaoxiang greeted her warmly while busily getting to work.

However, Su Yue was in an exceptionally pleasant mood at this moment. She sat leisurely in the warm and cozy room, smiling as she accepted a steaming cup of tea from Qiao Xiang.

"Don't rush to eat."

After taking a sip of tea, Su Yue said, "We're having hot pot tonight. Tell the kitchen to cook extra red beans; I'll need them later."

"No problem, I've got it covered!" Qiaoxiang readily agreed, secretly overjoyed.

After spending time with her, she discovered that Su Yue was a really good person; she never beat or scolded the servants.

Moreover, they are always kind and gentle, a stark contrast to their former, mean and stingy master.

This time I've really had incredible luck to find such a good master; it must be a blessing from my past life.

Before long, the quick-witted Qiaoxiang, Qiaoyun, and Qiaoxia took advantage of the brief moment when Su Yue went to wash up to arrange everything needed for the hot pot meal in an orderly manner.

Various fresh and crisp vegetables were neatly arranged, their vibrant colors making them quite appealing;

Thinly sliced ​​pork, beef, and mutton, resembling a small mountain, have been prepared and piled up.

There were also various bowls and plates of condiments arranged in order, emitting an enticing aroma.

Everything is ready; all that's needed is for Su Yue to appear so that we can start cooking.

Meanwhile, Dali, like an impatient child, was already waiting at the dining table.

She held a small plate of delicate pastries tightly in both hands, chewing them constantly, but her eyes never left the bubbling hot pot soup.

The pot was steaming hot, and the broth was bubbling and simmering, as if telling her how delicious it was.

Before long, Su Yue finished washing up and walked out gracefully.

When she saw the abundance of ingredients and tableware laid out before her, she couldn't help but smile with delight.

She sat down, about to speak, when suddenly, as if remembering something important, she quickly asked, "How's the red bean soup I asked you to make?"

Upon hearing Su Yue's question, Qiaoyun hurriedly and cautiously stepped forward, replying softly, "Reporting to the Immortal Envoy, the red beans will probably need to wait another half an hour or so before they are ready."

Su Yue nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and then said, "It's alright, let's start eating hot pot first, anyway, we're not in a hurry to use the red beans."

After saying that, she turned to look at Qiaoxia and Qiaoxiang, who were busy at work. She saw the two of them skillfully putting various side dishes and tender slices of pork, beef and mutton into the boiling pot.

Seeing the abundant dishes on the table, and knowing that he and Dali were unable to finish them all.
