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

"I'm going to the Northern Barbarians. I'll leave this place to you."

"Northern barbarians?"

Listening to this place, Liu Anruo, who was standing in the study, frowned. "That place is full of uncivilized barbarians. What are you going there for, my lord?"

"They're short of salt, and we're short of horses. So we can trade one for the other, right?"

The Huns often changed their places of residence, but most of the time they lived on the grasslands.

Salt mine resources are relatively scarce and the ways to obtain salt are also limited.

Therefore, salt is a rare commodity among them.

Every winter, the Huns crossed the border to steal food, and salt was also an indispensable item.

Now, winter is approaching, and I'm afraid that the salt we snatched last year has been almost used up.

"This is truly too dangerous. My Lord, why don't you send..."

Before he could finish his words, he met Yun Zhi's calm eyes.

The words that were about to come out of his mouth were swallowed back.

The lord must be aware of the dangers of this trip and other possible situations. Since he has decided to go, he has made every possible effort.

"I will definitely not let you down, my lord. I will definitely manage this place well. When will you leave?"

"The day after tomorrow."

In addition to buying the horse, Yunzhi had another purpose on this trip, which was to shift the blame.

Nothing major has happened during this period and things have gradually calmed down, which is very unfavorable for them.

Since nothing happened, she would create it herself.

There must always be one force to attract the attention of all forces.

In this way, they would not easily discover this suddenly emerging force.

As for the candidates.

Yun Zhi smiled faintly.

I just don’t know if Marquis Pingyang will like this gift.

The next morning.

Chen Yuanshu, who was standing outside the Yun Mansion, tugged at her clothes uncomfortably, then touched the double crane bun on her head with a hairpin inserted in it.

It took her several hours to learn how to do this bun.

In the past, in order to facilitate martial arts practice, I always wore short clothes and tied my hair up with a wooden hairpin.

The way I dress now really doesn't fit in anywhere.

Just then, she heard light footsteps coming from the front, and immediately stopped what she was doing and stood up straight.

Look over there.

Yun Zhi was seen wearing a dress with a slightly complicated style, which was rare. The lake blue color made her look very gentle.

The bun on the head is also a favorite style among young ladies nowadays.

She looked like an ordinary merchant's daughter, quite harmless.

After a moment of hesitation, Chen Yuanshu immediately went to meet him.

"Lord."

"Well, let's go."

"Yes."

The person driving the carriage this time was Zhou Yifeng. After the two of them got on the carriage, they began to drive towards Beiman.

On the carriage.

Yun Zhi looked at the person who was still a little uncomfortable with her clothes.

"When we get there, I'll be Yu Shu. You have to call me Miss. You'll have to start getting used to it from today."

Yu Shu, the apple of the eye of Marquis Pingyang's eye.

The current Marquis of Pingyang inherited his father's title, and his fiefdom, Pingyang County, was not too far away from the Northern Barbarians.

Among these forces vying for supremacy, although Marquis Pingyang is not as powerful as Prince Gong and his men, he also occupies a position that cannot be underestimated.

Chen Yuanshu had a rough idea of ​​his lord's action plan this time.

She gently stroked the soft sword around her waist.

Anyway, all she had to do was protect her lord and make sure she returned unharmed.

"Yes, Master...Miss."

A group of three people, holding specially made fake passes, rushed towards the county town on the border of the northern barbarians.

It was already the afternoon of the fifth day when we arrived at the small county town.

Following Yun Zhi's instructions, Zhou Yifeng pulled the reins in a secluded alley.

After the carriage stopped steadily.

"Miss, here we are."

"Ah."

Hearing Zhou Yifeng's voice outside, Chen Yuanshu held Yun Zhi's hand and helped her out of the carriage.

In the past five days, Chen Yuanshu has completely adapted to his current identity and can do all these things smoothly.

Enter the yard in front of you.

Yunzhi found a stone bench in the courtyard and sat down.

Finally, Chen Yuanshu and Zhou Yifeng checked several rooms one by one.

After a while, two people came out.

Chen Yuanshu walked behind Yun Zhi and lowered his voice, "Nothing unusual."

Hearing this, Yun Zhi nodded slightly, placed her fingers on the stone table, and waited for the arrival of the spies.

A quarter of an hour later, a man in light gray linen clothes walked in.

He walked up to Yun Zhi and knelt on one knee.

"Lord."

Seeing this person appear, Zhou Yifeng, who was standing aside, jumped onto a big tree in the courtyard.

Like a dormant owl, it silently checks its surroundings to prevent anyone from breaking in or eavesdropping.

Yun Zhi looked at the man kneeling on the ground, who looked like an honest shopkeeper.

"how?"

The kneeling man raised his head and said, "The five hundred elite soldiers you sent are already lying in ambush on the outskirts of the city, and the salt has been transported and placed in this courtyard."

When she left Qingyun County, she issued a secret order, ordering five hundred elite soldiers to come and support her.

Salt is also transported here in batches without being noticeable.

"Okay, I understand. Contact the people over there and arrange to meet with their eldest prince at 9:00 PM tomorrow."

The current Khan of the Xiongnu is named Luandi, and his eldest son is an ambitious man.

"Yes, my lord."

"Go back."

"Yes."

Early the next morning.

After Chen Yuanshu finished washing and dressing, she walked into Yunzhi's room.

Yun Zhi had changed into an extremely luxurious outfit today, with layers of clothes and exquisite embroidery. She was bundling her hair in front of a bronze mirror.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Yun Zhi kept moving his hands, "Are you done?"

"Well, it's all done, miss."

Chen Yuanshu walked up to her, looked at the gradually taking shape of her Lingyun bun, and helped to pass some head ornaments. "Do you know how to do hair?"

"A little bit."

Looking at Yun Zhi's skillful movements, it doesn't seem like she is very skilled. Even her simple bun now must have been done very early in the morning.

Nearly quarter of an hour later, Yun Zhi finally tied her hair up and put on a headdress.

Yu Shu, a domineering and arrogant girl, now has the status of a princess in all her appearances.

Therefore, Yunzhi now uses whatever is gorgeous.

Yun Zhi took away her slightly sore hand, put on a veil, and crossed her hands in front of her abdomen.

He held his head high, with arrogance in his eyes.

Her voice was a little raised, and without even looking at Chen Yuanshu, she said, "Let's go."

Seeing Yun Zhi's huge contrast, Chen Yuanshu was shocked.

This is exactly the same as the rumored Yu Shu, with an extremely arrogant look in her eyes.

After a moment of stunned silence, Chen Yuanshu immediately followed.

A suburban area.

The eldest prince had been waiting in the house for a while.

This place for negotiation is a compromise location. It is too close to the Northern Barbarians, so Yun Zhi naturally doesn't want it to be like that.

Of course, the eldest prince would not agree to come to the county town in the Central Plains.

Hence the current position.

"Da da da"

The sound of horse hooves came from afar.

The eldest prince raised his head and saw two carriages approaching in the distance, and he knew that people were coming.

Get up.

He took two Hu slaves with him and went outside to wait.
