Two months later.

Qin Wan survived in Yanbei City, but now Yanbei City has become the territory of the Hu people.

After the fourth prince of Southern Liang, Murong Fu, occupied Yanbei City, his plan to continue migrating south was terminated.

The Marquis of Zhenbei led the Zhenbei Army to intercept the Hu people in Suitai City, and the troops of both sides were in a stalemate.

Although the court was dissatisfied with the failure of Marquis Zhenbei to resist the enemy and the loss of five cities, the court had been in the wrong over the years and now needed Marquis Zhenbei to fight the enemy, so no memorial of reprimand was found.

The emperor planned to punish the Marquis of Zhenbei after the Hu people were repelled.

The court knew that the war in the north was tense, but had no intention of sending troops to support.

Several princes also watched the fun with intent. Besides waiting for the emperor to die, they were even more afraid that their own troops would go to fight the enemy and consume too many soldiers, and would no longer be a match for the other princes.

In addition, the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion has been entrenched in the north for generations, and the royal family intends to let the Hu people consume the strength of the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion.

Therefore, when the Hu people invaded the Shang Dynasty, the one who suffered the most was the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Qin Wan didn't know what was happening on the battlefield. She was now more than three months pregnant and her belly was no longer flat. She planned to go out and buy a few Han slaves.

Qin Wan had killed two Hu people and found their ID cards on them. After knowing their identities, Qin Wan directly and rudely pretended to be their relative.

When the two countries were at war, both the Han people and the Hu people suffered casualties. Many people living in this city were relatives of the Hu soldiers, so Qin Wan's case was not out of place.

At this time, there were already many Hu people in Yanbei City, and they all moved into the city.

Qin Wan was very silent at first and didn't dare to speak. She used the two months to quickly learn the Hu language, and now she can communicate with the people in the city in the Hu language.

As soon as Qin Wan went out, a neighbor greeted her, "Zhaqin, are you going to buy some groceries?"

Qin Wan shook her head, "I'll go to the slave market and take a look."

The neighbor smiled and said, "Zhaqin, you have heard the news, right? Some slaves were shipped back from the south today. They are all fresh. It would be good to buy them back and let them continue to farm."

Qin Wan nodded, "Well, I'll buy a few strong ones. My brother is gone and there is no labor force at home."

After saying goodbye to her neighbors, Qin Wan quickly walked towards the slave market.

Qin Wan lives a good life now because she has a skill, she can make iron.

The blacksmith shop she often went to had been taken over by her.

The owner of this blacksmith shop and his workers had already fled.

As for the ironware in the shop, they were all gone. No one knew whether they were taken away by the owner or looted by the Hu people.

In short, when Qin Wan came, this shop was already an abandoned shop.

Qin Wan observed for many days and found that the blacksmith shop was unoccupied, so she occupied it without hesitation.

She now makes some small tools and sells them in the shop.

The Hu people occupied Yanbei City, and they did not want this city to be a dead city, so they naturally hoped that the economy in the city would prosper quickly.

There must also be proper transactions within the city.

Qin Wan claimed to be Zar's sister, and the Hu leader did not doubt her.

It is easy to distinguish between the Hu people and the Han people, which can be seen from Qin Wan's hairstyle and clothing style.

The Han people dress conservatively and wear their hair in a neat bun.

Although Qin Wan is socially anxious in modern times, that is because she is not good at dealing with people. Others say that she is aloof, but when she goes out, she also wears ultra-short shorts and belly-baring tops.

Now only the shoulders and calves are exposed, what's so scary about that?

Now that she speaks fluent Hu, no one will doubt her anymore.

Soon, Qin Wan arrived at the slave market.

The slaves here were all captured Han people, and now they all had words tattooed on their foreheads.

A small word "slave" is right on the forehead.

Seeing this now, Qin Wan no longer felt as conflicted as she did the first time she saw him.

She wanted to save people, but she was powerless.

So far, she is still protecting herself.

Qin Wan didn't know many people in the Shang Dynasty, but if she wanted to buy someone, she wanted to see if she could meet someone familiar.

At this time, a voice was heard, "Be quiet!"

Qin Wan looked up and saw a man with a dirty face, tied up with ropes.

Qin Wan paused. She had seen this person before. "Is this person for sale?"

The vendor asked, "How much can you offer?"

"These people must have a price, so just name it. If the price is right, I'll buy it."

At this time, the dirty man stopped struggling. He glanced at Qin Wan, then hugged his head and curled up.

The vendor looked at the row of people, all of whom were new arrivals, and there were quite a few of them, and there were few people in the city who could buy people, "This man, five taels of silver!"

Qin Wan did not bargain, "Okay, I want this man."

After paying the money, Qin Wan said, "Come with me!"

Seeing that the man didn't move, the vendor repeated his words in Chinese.

The dirty man followed Qin Wan away.

Qin Wan continued to watch. She actually wanted to buy a woman, mainly because she was pregnant now, and when she got older, she would need a woman to take care of her.

Qin Wan continued walking, looking at the Han people who were looking listless on both sides of the road.

As they walked, Qin Wan's eyes narrowed slightly. Why were they here too?

Qin Wan looked over at those people and found that they were also looking at her.

A young man was very excited when he saw Qin Wan and wanted to speak, but was stopped by the woman next to him.

Qin Wan glanced at a few people and asked calmly, "I want a maid. This woman is good. How much is it?"

The vendor rolled his eyes and said, "Girl, this is a family, don't just take this woman!"

Qin Wan seemed to be in a dilemma, "But there are too many people and I don't have enough money."

The merchant said enthusiastically: "There are five people in this family. I will treat the two half-grown children as adults. In this way, you can give me eighteen taels of silver!"

Qin Wan pretended to think about it and did not agree immediately.

At this time, a small hand touched Qin Wan's feet and looked at her pleadingly.

The vendor smiled and said, "Girl, you see she and you are destined to be together!"

Qin Wan pretended to be helpless and said, "Okay, then I'll buy it. This is eighteen taels of silver."

Seeing that Qin Wan was easy to talk to, the vendor wanted to continue selling her goods, but Qin Wan immediately cried out in poverty, "Oh, it's so expensive to buy people. I've spent all my money, and I won't have any food to buy in the future."

When the merchant heard Qin Wan say this, he finally stopped talking.

Qin Wan left with six people.

As they walked, they found the road was becoming more and more familiar, but they were not heading to the original main gate or the small gate, but a gate that had not existed before.

Qin Wan led her group through many twists and turns and finally entered Cuiyuxuan.

The Second Madam burst into tears at this time, "Eldest Wife, is it really you?"

Zhao Rong's eyes also turned red. "Sister-in-law, it's great to see you."
