The Empress traveled through time and space, and she fought for supremacy in the troubled times

The group of people were talking and laughing along the way. Even though they were carrying heavy things, they still had smiles on their faces.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, the sun was already setting.

Looking at this mountain where I have stayed for half a month, I actually developed a sense of belonging.

The fatigue from a whole day's walk was swept away, and even my eyes became brighter.

"Guys, we're almost home, let's go faster."

"Yeah, we're almost home."

The pace that had slowed down was picked up again at this moment.

Yun Jingxian walked beside Yun Zhi and looked at her expression, "Sister, can you still walk? Do you want me to carry you?"

Yunzhi was the youngest in the group, and he was afraid that she couldn't bear it after walking for such a long time.

Yun Zhi did feel a little sore in her legs. She hadn't walked for such a long time since coming here.

But there is only this last stretch left, and I can hold on.

Looking at the winding path ahead, she shook her head and said, "No need, we're almost there."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the person next to him. He was obviously only fifteen years old, but he didn't even complain of being tired while carrying all these things.

Looking at the young man with a bright smile, Yun Zhi asked curiously, "Besides, how can brother carry me like this?"

"So, sister, you refused because you were afraid that your brother couldn't carry you? That's easy."

As he spoke, he moved the backpack to the front and carried it on his back. As for the bow and arrow he brought in the morning, he put it in the backpack after changing his things.

"Come on, sister, climb on my back."

Yun Jingxian was about to squat down to let her get up.

Yun Zhi reached out and pulled him, "No, I can walk. You should change back quickly. It's hard to walk with me carrying you like this."

As if he didn't believe Yun Zhi's words, he asked again, "Really?"

"Ah."

After seeing Yun Zhi nod, he moved the backpack hanging in front of him to his back.

Wiping the sweat off his head, he looked at Yun Zhi and said, "If you can't walk, tell your brother."

"it is good."

Yun Zhi pulled his arm and said, "Brother, let's go quickly. I think our parents must be waiting anxiously."

It is indeed as Yunzhi said.

It was getting dark, and they had been gone for so long and still hadn't returned.

Those who stayed in the mountains couldn't help but worry, fearing that they might encounter danger.

They had no intention of doing anything else and just stood in the open space in front of the house, holding torches and waiting.

When the sun had completely set and there was no afterglow left, Yun Zhi and his group finally embarked on the last leg of their journey.

Looking at the bright light ahead, one of the team shouted excitedly, "Look, they're here to pick us up."

The firelight flickered, and people on both sides noticed each other, and shouted each other's names joyfully from a distance.

His pace quickened even more than before, as if he no longer felt tired, nor did his legs feel as if they were filled with lead.

Yun Youde and Lin Hui walked quickly with the crowd to greet them.

Walking up to him, Yun Youde handed the torch to Lin Huixin, then took the backpack from Yun Jingxian's back and put it on his back.

He patted Yun Jingxian's shoulder gently and said, "Jingxian performed very well today. He is a real man now."

Yun Jingxian, who was praised by his father, touched his hot face embarrassedly and chuckled.

Lin Huixin held the torch in one hand and held Yun Zhi's hand in the other, looking at her softly. "My dear, you've walked for such a long time today. You must be tired. Let me carry you back."

"Mom, I'm fine. It's mainly because my brother has been carrying so much and walking all day, he's more tired."

"Well, Meimei and Jingxian, you've worked so hard. You're both the best kids."

Yun Youde also agreed and said, "Yes, you are all great contributors to our family. Take good care of Meimei and Jingxian today."

On the way, Yun Jingxian described in vivid detail what he had seen and heard along the way.

"Dad, Mom, you don't know. When that aunt asked us where we were from, we were so scared we couldn't even breathe. But then my sister stepped in and it all resolved the situation. Do you know what she said?"

Listening to Yun Jingxian's description, the Yun couple also cooperated and asked, "What did you say?"

Then he repeated Yun Zhi's words word for word.

"Once my sister finished speaking, my aunt really believed it. No wonder my sister asked me to change my clothes this morning."

Just by simply listening to Yun Jingxian's words, the Yun couple could imagine the thrill of that time.

Fortunately, Yun Zhi was among the group, as she was quick-witted.

The people walking nearby were also telling their families what happened today, causing them to exclaim in surprise.

Then he looked at Yun Zhi with admiration.

Amidst this lively scene, everyone returned to their homes one by one.

Today, everyone stayed up very late, which was rare, and stayed up until the middle of the night. They had a hot meal and some fried dishes for the first time since coming here.

And the food brought by the Yun family was finally used.

When the villagers were sleeping soundly at night, the smiles on their faces never faded.

Early the next morning.

This newly built small village woke up when the sun rose.

Although we slept very late last night, everyone is full of energy today.

The men in the family continued to cut down trees to expand the house, while the women took the seeds they had exchanged this time to find a place to cultivate the land.

Children played in groups nearby, after all, they didn't know whether it was safe to go too far away.

The whole small village became lively because of these people.

Zhou Yifeng did not have high material demands. He practiced martial arts in the morning every day and cut down trees to build his house in the afternoon.

So if you want to find him in the morning, just go to the open space behind the village and you will definitely find him there.

Sure enough, he was already there when Yun Zhi went there.

She stood aside without saying a word, waiting for him to complete the last move.

Zhou Yifeng noticed Yun Zhi as soon as she arrived. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he thought it was not an urgent matter, so he didn't stop his sword moves.

After finishing this part of the practice, she put the sword back into the scabbard and looked at Yun Zhi who had found a place to sit down.

"What's the matter?"

"I'd like to trouble Mr. Zhou to teach these people martial arts."

His hand gripping the hilt of the sword tightened, his expression froze, and he walked in front of Yun Zhi.

"Do you have any plans?"

Yunzhi looked around. The stream hit the rocks and the birds above her head chirped. Everything seemed fine.

"This is really not a place to live in peace for a long time."

It seems that living here, you will never have to worry about food.

But after all, it is in the mountains, and we have to be on guard against snakes and insects in the mountains in summer.

If there is a heavy rain, the houses here will easily be washed away.

Just talking about farming, for example, we can only irrigate crops like rice by drawing water from the stream. It’s okay now because there is enough water in the stream. But when more and more people come here in the future, there will be no other way.

And those children always need to study, and we can’t let them be trapped here forever.

Yunzhi won't be trapped here forever.

Yun Zhi looked up at Zhou Yifeng, stood up from the stone, and brushed off the dust on her body.

"We will have to leave here sooner or later, so it's always good to let them learn some martial arts."

Zhou Yifeng looked at her and understood what she meant.

She has to start building up her own power. If she wants to dominate the world, she must have military force, otherwise what can she fight for?

"My martial arts skills aren't the best either, I can only try my best to teach them."

"Just your words are enough. Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

That night, Yun Zhi gathered more than 30 people in an open space.

There was a crowd of people, whispering and discussing what Yun Zhi wanted them to come out for.

The light of the torch illuminated everyone, and after everyone gathered, Yun Zhi came out.

Seeing Yun Zhi, everyone present fell silent, looked at her, and waited for her to speak.

Glancing at everyone, Yun Zhi cleared her throat and said, "I called everyone out today for one thing: from now on, you must set aside an hour every evening to practice martial arts with Mr. Zhou."

"This world is not easy to live in. All we can do is improve ourselves. We don't seek to be strong in martial arts, but to protect ourselves."

When these words were spoken, the people below were deeply touched. Life is difficult, and who else but your parents will plan everything for you step by step?

Of course they know the benefits of learning martial arts, otherwise why would anyone spend money to hire a martial arts teacher?

Especially in today's world, having martial arts skills is a great advantage.

Seeing that everyone below agreed, Yun Zhi nodded to Zhou Yifeng.

Seeing Zhou Yifeng coming up, their eyes lit up. They saw how powerful Mr. Zhou's martial arts were.

They have even begun to look forward to learning martial arts, especially the little kids who are almost jumping up and down. Who doesn’t have a dream of becoming a hero?

"I won't say much. You should start learning martial arts early, starting today."

I saw that all of them had joined the ranks of learning martial arts, regardless of gender, age or status.

Yun Zhi left quietly and returned to her room.

It's time to plan the next step.
