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

When Yun Youde first saw that this person looked familiar, he called out tentatively.

After Duan Yao turned her head, he was completely sure that she was Duan Biaotou's daughter, Duan Yao.

Of course, you have to greet acquaintances when you meet them. He walked towards the two of them and asked, "Miss Duan, why are you here?"

Duan Yao was surprised and a little shocked as she watched the person approaching her step by step. "Manager Yun!"

It is natural to be surprised to meet familiar people in a strange place.

But why is this familiar person here?

Yun Youde looked at Zhou Yifeng beside her, then looked at her daughter's study door.

"Miss Duan is here to see us..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of Yunzhi's study suddenly opened.

Liu Anruo walked out of the house and was about to let Duan Yao in when he saw this scene.

"Master Yun knows the leader of Qingfeng Village?"

Yun Youde knew Qingfeng Village. The group of people who were imprisoned this morning were from Qingfeng Village.

But how did Duan Yao become the village chief?

When Yun Youde was doubting Duan Yao's identity, Duan Yao was also doubting his identity.

Master Yun?

The people around the lord actually called Manager Yun like that.

Liu Anruo didn’t know how to deal with the current problem. She turned her head to look at Yun Zhi and asked her silently.

The moment the door opened, Yun Zhi naturally heard what her father said.

Looking at Liu Anruo's inquiring eyes, Yun Zhi nodded at her.

During the month they spent together, Liu Anruo could already guess what Yun Zhi meant from her actions and eyes.

After knowing Yun Zhi's intention, Liu Anruo turned around and took a few steps towards Duan Yao and the others.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for bringing him back. Now that there's nothing else to do, Mr. Zhou can go about his own business."

Zhou Yifeng nodded and walked out with the wild fruit in his hand.

After seeing him leave, Liu Anruo glanced at Duan Yao. If she heard correctly, Master Yun had just called her "Miss Duan".

She stood beside them, making way for them to enter the study, "Master Yun, Village Chief Duan, please."

Yun Youde nodded, "Okay."

After seeing Yun Youde take a step forward, Duan Yao glanced at the person standing next to him with a faint smile.

Duan Yao retracted her gaze, looked straight ahead, took a deep breath, followed Yun Youde and walked in together.

After both of them moved, Liu Anruo lagged behind and followed closely into the study.

After closing the study door silently, he walked past the two of them and stood beside Yun Zhi.

As soon as Duan Yao stepped into the study, she was attracted by the girl in front of her.

She sat upright above, her long black hair tied with a solid-colored hairband.

Just sitting there quietly, yet impossible to ignore.

It seems like she is the master of this world.

Duan Yao glanced around with her peripheral vision. The furnishings were very simple and she could see everything at a glance.

There was no one else in the room except her.

Duan Yao had a vague guess in her mind.

It was not until she saw Liu Anruo standing beside her that she confirmed the identity of the person above her.

The lord mentioned by the man in black.

She was somewhat surprised that their lord was actually a woman.

But I remembered what my father said: no one in this world should be underestimated.

I quickly came to my senses.

Just when Duan Yao was considering asking them where the nine people from Qingfeng Village were.

The person above spoke.

"Dad, do you know the person next to you?"

father?

Shopkeeper Yun is her father?

Could she be the young lady of the Yun family, Yun Zhi?

Duan Yao had never seen Yun Zhi, but had heard of her reputation.

At such a young age, he could calmly drive away his grandfather's family who were like blood-sucking worms.

At that time, the news spread all over the neighborhood.

It is said that he is a young, intelligent and opinionated person.

Hearing his daughter's question, Yun Youde nodded, "Yes, Dad knows him."

Yun Zhi looked at Duan Yao and said, "Since you know me, don't be so reserved. Find a seat."

"Thank you, Lord Yun."

After seeing her find a place to sit down, Yun Zhi looked at her father and said, "Dad, please sit down and introduce me to Village Leader Duan. How come I didn't know her before?"

Yun Youde randomly found a seat closer and sat down.

"It's normal that Meimei doesn't know Miss Duan. She's the only daughter of our county's head escort, Duan. She has dozens of people under her command and is a long-time customer of ours. She's been buying from us ever since we started selling weapons."

"Captain Duan loves Miss Duan very much and often keeps her by his side. As a result, they have become familiar with each other, but..."

Yun Youde glanced at Duan Yao and said, "I wonder why Miss Duan has left the county town now."

What he didn't finish saying was that he not only left the county town, but also became the leader of Qingfeng Village.

After hearing what her father said, Yun Zhi suddenly understood everything.

No wonder everyone in Qingfeng Village knows some martial arts, it turns out they are bodyguards.

As for what her father said about not knowing how he left the county, Yun Zhi had a rough guess.

To sum it up in one sentence, Duan's father went to the capital to build a temporary palace, but it was probably lost. Later, Duan Yao brought the remaining bodyguards and their families to the Qingfeng Village in the mountains and became the leader of the village.

The facts were indeed as Yun Zhi had guessed.

Duan Yao didn't know what to say about her father, a man who was both pedantic and not pedantic.

Duan Yao's mother died early, and her father never thought of remarrying, so he raised her alone.

He didn't mind that she was his daughter. After Duan Yao grew up a little, her father took her with him to escort goods for others everywhere.

But he was also pedantic. That year, a notice was posted in the county requiring every family to send one male adult to the capital to build a temporary palace.

He had the same idea as the Yun family at the time, to see if he could ask the county magistrate for some leniency.

As a result, we couldn't even see each other.

At that time, Duan Yao, who was only sixteen years old, grabbed her father's hand and asked him not to go.

The worst that could happen is that both father and daughter would become refugees, as long as they could be with their father.

Upon hearing this, Duan's father rejected him and entrusted her to his good brother Wang Youcai.

When he left, Duan's father said he would be back in two years at the latest.

The result was that he never came back.

Since Duan's father left, the escort agency's business has become increasingly sluggish. After all, they are only a small escort agency with fifty or sixty people.

Some of them went to the capital with Duan's father.

After learning of his father's death, Duan Yao brought most of the escorts, grooms and their families to Qingfeng Village and established it.

However, they were not used to calling her the village chief, so they continued their previous habit and called her Miss Duan Yao.

As for the remaining few, they had not yet received the news of their family members' death and wanted to wait for him to return home.

He was afraid that if they left, he wouldn't be able to find his home if he came back.

After Yun Youde finished explaining his identity, he looked at Yun Zhi and said, "Mianmei, is there anything else you need from your father?"

He originally came back to get something to go out to do something, but he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance, which led to this incident.

"No, Dad, go and do whatever you need to do."

"Hey, good."

The door opened and closed, and there were only three people left in the room.

Yun Zhi tapped the table lightly and looked at Duan Yao. "Master Duan, I called you here today for one thing. Are you from Qingfeng Village willing to join us?"

After he finished speaking, Duan Yao suddenly looked up at her.

"Master Duan, if not for yourself, you should at least consider the people who follow you. Relying on robbing caravans is not a long-term solution after all. There are too many unstable factors. Why not follow me? It may be a little dangerous, but it's worth the gamble, isn't it?"

Seeing Duan Yao's expression, she changed the subject, "Don't be so anxious to answer me. I'll have someone take you to release the people from Qingfeng Village first, and then I'll take you around Yunjia Village. You can give us an answer tomorrow. How about that?"

Duan Yao was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she would let him go so readily.

It was a good opportunity for her to ask Uncle Dahai and the others for their opinions.

"Okay, thank you, Lord Yun."

Yun Zhi gave her a faint smile.

"Liu Anruo."

"Lord."

Their eyes met, a gleam of light flashed in Liu Anruo's eyes, and he nodded imperceptibly at Yun Zhi.

"You take her there."

"Yes, my lord."

Liu Anruo walked towards Duan Yao, "Master Duan, let's go."

Yun Zhi sat there, watching the two people leaving, her expression becoming unpredictable.

I hope she can tell me the correct answer tomorrow. If not, then I will stay here forever.

As for the other people in Qingfeng Village, Yun Zhi didn't mind having people search the mountains one by one.

Since they knew the location of their Yunjiazhai, if they were unwilling to join, they would have no choice but to disappear.
