Beside the official road of Gyeonggi County, Zhao Yanxun led a dozen guards and were inspecting the wheat fields in the distance.
Food is the most important thing for the people. Whether it is war or rebellion, as long as there is food, they will not panic.
Although all the editors and supervisors of the Ministry of Household Affairs reported that farming in various places was proceeding normally and there would be a bumper harvest this year, Zhao Yanxun still felt uneasy, so he chose to go to the fields to see for himself.
Although there are only a dozen guards around him, there are more than 500 guards scattered within a three-mile radius.
Of course, since they were on patrol incognito, they all wore civilian clothes.
For example, Zhao Yanxun is wearing a simple gray round-neck robe, and the fabric can be said to be very ordinary.
Walking in the fields and looking at the green wheat on the pass, Zhao Yanxun felt particularly comfortable.
"In a few months, the harvest will be ready!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.
Zhang Meng nodded and said, "It's true. There are a lot of wheat grains on the ears this year, and those who win the crops are doing well!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but ask: "Do you still understand this?"
"Young master, you have forgotten that I was also born into a poor family, and I had to manage the land with my mother back then!"
These words also brought back Zhao Yanxun's memories, and he said: "I still remember the first time I met you, you were chased by a monster with no way to go. At that time, you were looking for medicine for my mother to cure her illness, right?
"
"Exactly, thanks to the young master's rescue, I can survive!"
Zhao Yanxun said with emotion: "A few years have passed, and the scene now is completely different from what it was back then!"
If there were civil servants here, they would definitely use the most gorgeous language to praise Zhao Yanxun's great achievements. It was under his leadership that the zombies were wiped out and this human scene was created.
Zhang Meng, on the other hand, was silent. He was recalling how hard it had been along the way, and he was also grateful to have met Zhao Yanxun, the wise master.
"Master, at that time I thought I would never see this large field of wheat again!"
Zhao Yanxun sighed: "So, now that life is hard-won, we must cherish it even more!"
The two of them chatted and continued walking forward, while the guards behind them led their horses.
However, at the other end of the official road, there was a horse galloping at this moment, and the rider on the horse was actually a woman.
The horse's hooves were hurried, the wind was blowing the girl's braid, and a beautiful smile appeared on the girl's face.
After entering Tianyu Pass, Tiya took the road to the capital, and her means of transportation along the way were horse-drawn carriages.
Along the way, she saw fields of wheat, villages, and cities one after another.
What she saw along the way greatly changed her impression of the Jin court, and her original contempt had disappeared.
In her eyes, the Jin Dynasty, with its large population and densely populated cities, was a great country, even greater than the Xiongnu.
With this view, her mentality also changed.
Marrying the emperor of this great country does not seem to be too unfair, not to mention that this is a young king.
Along the way, while Tiya learned about the Jin Dynasty, she also heard a lot of legendary events about Zhao Yanxun.
In the Jin court, both military and civilian officials worshiped the emperor endlessly and praised him endlessly. They were only willing to dedicate their lives to this emperor.
So much so that after hearing these words so often, Tiya became curious about the emperor. What kind of person was he?
Of course, these are all things that have happened. The reason why she is riding a horse now is because she sneaked out.
The territory of the Jin Dynasty was too vast, and the carriage she rode was so slow that it took almost a month to reach it.
Surrounded by dozens of people every day, with no free space at all, Tia finally couldn't hold it in any longer today.
So she changed clothes with the maid and asked the maid to sit in the carriage for her. After avoiding the Jin court officials, she asked the tribal guards for horses and planned to ride them to relax.
The sky is vast and the fields are vast, and the wind is blowing the wheat waves. Although there are no cattle or sheep, Tiya is still very happy to ride on horseback.
But she was happy because the road to the Jin Dynasty had too many twists and turns, and now she didn't know how to go back.
Slowly slowing down the speed, Tiya is very distressed now. The unfamiliar place in life makes it difficult for her. Gu Lei
"What should we do? (Hun)"
Seeing the old farmer walking in the distance, Tiya tightened the reins and asked in the newly learned Jin court official dialect: "Old man, do you know the way to the palace?"
"What? Girl, what are you talking about?" The old farmer put down his hoe and looked at the not very smart woman on the horse in front of him. He felt that the scene in front of him was very strange.
In this land of Jin Dynasty, besides walking, women also ride in cars and sedan chairs. He has never seen a girl riding a horse.
Although Tiya didn't understand what the old farmer said, she knew from the other person's tone that they couldn't understand what she said either.
"Let me tell you... where is the way to the palace?" Tiya reorganized the word order.
"Girl? Are you going to the palace?"
"Correct!" Tia replied.
In fact, the old farmer still couldn't figure out what this girl wanted to do. How did he know the way to the palace?
But the next moment, the old farmer was not calm anymore, because the opponent's horse was chewing his wheat seedlings.
"Hey...your horse..." the old farmer yelled.
Looking at the horse gnawing seedlings, Tiya felt a little speechless. She didn't understand why the old farmer was angry.
Seeing that Tiya had no reaction, the old farmer picked up the hoe and got on the job. The wheat seedlings were his lifeblood.
"Go away...beast!"
But before he hit it, his hand startled the horse, causing the beast to jump up and down, causing Tiya to lose his temper.
"Stop...stop!"
But the horse was frightened and could not be stopped easily. At least a woman could not hold it back.
Seeing the wheat seedlings being trampled more and more, the old farmer's eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, he just wanted to kill the beast.
Just when he was about to take action, he saw a dozen big men on horseback rushing out from nowhere.
Just listen to one of them say: "This person may be an assassin, take her down first!"
But before they could take action, Tiya was thrown off the horse, with mud on her hands and face. Fortunately, she was not stepped on by the horse's hooves.
In panic, Tiya stood up from the wheat field and put several knives on her neck. Several strong men looked at her with cold eyes.
"Who are you?"
Tiya understood this sentence, and looking at the horses running in the distance, Tiya felt extremely anxious.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful. She should not have gone out to ride a horse.
"I am a princess, my name is Tia, I am not at this moment..."
"Princess?"
Hearing this, the guards were all confused. How could there be a princess here? Moreover, they didn't sound very smart.
With several knives hanging around her neck, Tiya continued: "Help me and bring the horse back for me, and I will reward you!"
In fact, her eyes were fixed on the horse as it ran away, because the beast was about to hit the oncoming pedestrian.
Do all Jin people like to carry knives? Looking at the men with knives in the distance, Tiya asked this question.
But the next moment, she saw a young man coming out from behind the men and walking straight towards the jumping horses.
The horse Tia rides is considered as a dowry given to her by her father Chanyu. Even among the Xiongnu, it is a top-quality horse, so it is strong and has a fierce temper. It is difficult to control it once it is frightened.
When Tiya was worried about the young man, she didn't expect that the young man jumped and sat on the horse without any mistake.
After only three or two pulls on the reins, the furious horse became docile and started to spin slowly in place with its hooves.
Even the strongest warrior of the tribe could not subdue such a fierce horse so easily, so Tia was shocked by the scene before her.
Sure enough, the people of Jin are rich in land and resources, and there are many capable people and strangers... Tiya thought to herself.
