The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

After they delivered the food and fodder to Black Stone City and reported to General Ming, they returned to the Thirteen Banners together.

The women and children who were guarding their homes in the Thirteen Banners ran out of their homes when they learned that they had returned, wanting to welcome them in the warmest way possible.

The Zhang family was closest to the road crossing, and Guan, leading her grandson and granddaughter, was the first to see Zhang Xiaoqi and the others.

Xiaodong even tossed his two short legs around and shouted loudly: "Grandpa, Grandpa."

"Hey!"

Zhang Xiaoqi jumped off his mount and steadily caught his eldest grandson's chubby little body. He laughed and said loudly, "I ran across thousands of mountains and rivers to come home just to hear you call me Grandpa."

"Grandpa." Xiaodong pointed at his grandfather's mount, "Ride a horse."

"Okay, let's ride horses."

When Xiaonan saw her brother being supported by her grandfather to sit on the horse, she also stretched out her little hand to urge him, saying that she also wanted to ride a horse.

The two eldest sons of the Mada family ran faster than the adults in the family when they got the news. When they saw Mada riding behind Zhang Xiaoqi, they immediately rushed over with their eyes shining.

"Father~"

"Daddy."

"Hey, hey."

Ma Da now fully understood the meaning of Zhang Xiaoqi's words. He jumped off his horse and hugged his two sons tightly.

The two big boys hadn’t been hugged like this by their daddy for a long time. They were a little shy and a little excited...

When Yichen brought Shiyilang over, she didn't see her mother and Shilang.

Yi Chen was not surprised. She had already guessed that her mother and Shi Lang would stay in Heishi City for a while and would become new subordinates of General Ming and his men.

After all, the northern barbarians are coming in with great force this time, and the defense forces of Blackrock City need to fight for strength.

But Shiyilang was young, he was a real child. No matter how sensible he was, his eyes became red again when he didn't see his beloved mother.

Yichen was afraid that he would really cry, so she quickly coaxed him, "Shiyilang, let's go home and get the horses, okay? I'll take you to pick up mother and Shilang and the others."

"Okay." Shiyilang's disappointment was instantly replaced by joy when his sister said she would take him to find his mother and brother. "Sister, let's go get the horses quickly."

"Ah."

Yichen took Shiyilang home to tie up the horses and check the weather. Yichen decisively went back to the house and took out two cloaks, one large and one small, both of the same red color.

The brother and sister each put on a cloak. Yichen also put a small hat on Shiyilang. After giving some instructions to Aunt Li, the brother and sister set off.

Yichen took Shiyilang on horseback riding, but they didn't dare to go too fast, as this was enough to make Shiyilang chatter non-stop.

Yi Chen saw the flying dust raised by the autumn wind, and she took out a mask from home and put it on Shiyilang.

Shiyilang saw that the pattern on his sister's mask was a lazy kitten, and the one he was wearing had a little white rabbit with long ears, so he discussed with his sister, "Sister, can I wear a kitten mask too?"

"Sure. Next time I make a mask, I'll make you one with a cat pattern."

"Yeah." Shiyilang nodded, waving his little fist and shouting loudly: "Charge, we are going to fight the northern barbarians who stole our things!"

These days, news came out that the Northern Barbarians were going to attack Black Stone City, so Shiyilang started playing a game of fighting the Northern Barbarians with Xiaodong, Wang Xiaoshan and others.

They had never seen the northern barbarians, but they knew about their cruelty from adults.

They did not yet understand the true meaning of cruelty. They only knew that the northern barbarians were bad guys who wanted to steal their food and the good things in their homes.

The first thing the children of Blackrock City learned was that food was precious, and anyone who stole their food was a bad guy. They also learned that the northern barbarians were all bad people, completely bad people.

Yichen hadn't expected these little brats to be so playful. Especially his little brother, who had already thought about going to the battlefield.

It seems that their whole family are warmongers.

When passing by the Hundred Households Office, he saw Dong Erlang standing on the hillside looking around.

Dong Erlang saw the iconic red and white horse from afar and waved to greet Yi Chen and her brother.

"Yichen, Shiyilang~"

"Second Brother Dong."

"Dong Ai Ge."

"Where are you two going?"

"Go to Black Stone City to pick up my mother." Shiyilang answered with a smile.

"Then go quickly and be careful on the road."

"Thank you, Dong Ai-ge."

"See you later, Brother Dong."

Looking at the backs of the brother and sister riding away on horseback, Dong Erlang seemed to have lost his spirit and sat down on the withered wormwood.

His cousin, who also served as his henchman, followed behind him and understood why he was depressed.

"Second cousin, you feel bad when you see those old men from the Thirteen Banners coming back? We'll feel bad when those of our generation come back."

Dong Erlang: "I'm one year older than Dasheng. When my eldest brother followed the Ye family to conquer the world, I wanted to follow. But my father said that Black Stone City must be guarded. If we don't stay, if the northern barbarians come to attack the city, Black Stone City will suffer greatly."

"But the northern barbarians didn't come at that time." Liao Cheng now felt a little regretful. "I wish we had followed them back then."

"Who says it isn't?"

"Second cousin is fine. My uncle has been named Marquis of Yongning. Second cousin will be the next Marquis of Yongning in the future."

"Have you forgotten my brother?"

"I haven't forgotten. I heard my aunt and grandma say a few days ago that my eldest cousin will be the consort of the emperor, and my uncle will pass the title to my second cousin."

Liao Cheng was extremely regretful at this moment. "I shouldn't have listened to my grandma and my parents. Now I seem so useless."

Dong Erlang wanted to say that he regretted it, but he thought about his uncle's family situation and how his father had hoped that his cousin would follow Prince Rui.

But my uncle's family disagreed. As relatives, they could only say a few words at a time. If they said too much, they were afraid that the relatives would not do their duty.

Now it seems that my uncle and his family all regret it.

...

When Yichen rode a white horse and brought Shiyilang to Black Stone City, the officers and soldiers guarding the city all recognized them and greeted them one after another.

"Hello, Princess Jiahui."

"Hello, Princess Jiahui!"

It took Yichen a while to adjust before she remembered that the officers and soldiers were greeting her.

Yichen rubbed Shiyilang's hat to ease her embarrassment before answering each one: "Okay, okay."

After Yichen rode into Black Stone City, she headed along the main road toward the North Gate. She had just spoken with her mother, and both her mother and Shilang had followed General Ming and his men to the North Gate.

The north gate is heavily guarded and ordinary civilians are not allowed to pass through.

But almost all the soldiers in Black Stone City had watched Yi Chen grow up. As soon as she urged her horse to the north gate, the officers and soldiers greeted her warmly.

He also took the initiative to tell Yi Chen: "Princess Jiahui, Princess Rui took the young prince, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the Marquis of Yongning out of the city."
