Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Since they set out on the journey, Zhou Jicheng and his companions quickened their pace, waving their whips to urge their horses to go faster.

"A Miao, this journey is not peaceful. We must get to Dingzhou City as quickly as possible."

"You'll probably suffer a bit in the next few days, just bear with it. Everything will be fine once we get to Dingzhou City."

Xu Miao sat on horseback and bowed to Zhou Jicheng: "Don't worry, Ah Cheng, I will never hold you back."

Later, Zhou Jicheng and his companions stopped to rest, and Zhou Jicheng told Xu Miao about what happened on the road.

"The road from Dingzhou City to the snow-capped mountains is a vast expanse of flat grassland, with no barriers at all."

"The main reason is that there are several small barbarian tribes scattered around the grassland. Their tribes are small in population and they don't directly clash with the Great Zhou army."

"They just occasionally come out to rob people, but they don't kill anyone, they just steal things."

"We sent troops to capture them, but they ran away when they saw the Great Zhou army. We captured them several times but saw no effect."

"Later, we followed them. Mainly because they were few in number and ran very fast. It was impossible to catch them on the grassland."

"So, every time we travel this route, we try to speed up our journey and don't want to have a direct conflict with them."

Xu Miao finally understood why Zhou Jicheng and the guards were on high alert after crossing the snow-capped mountains, and were not as relaxed as before.

The big black dog started to let himself go completely after leaving the Snow Mountain Military Camp. At first, he was trotting behind Xu Miao's horse, but later he disappeared without a trace.

From time to time, he would bring back a pheasant or a rabbit, and throw it bloody in front of Xu Miao's horse, causing Zhou Jicheng to curse: "Traitor!"

Ever since the big black dog saw Xu Miao, he no longer paid attention to anyone and followed Xu Miao closely.

Sometimes when Zhou Jicheng called it, it would run to Zhou Jicheng and wag its tail, but after a few wags, it would run back to Xu Miao.

Zhou Jicheng took out some dried meat to tease Dahei, but Dahei ignored the dried meat, as if it was not a delicacy to him.

Of course Xu Miao knew what the big black dog was thinking.

The first night Xu Miao met the big black dog, he took a pill from his arms and gave it to Dahei to eat with his rice.

It was a meeting gift for the big black dog, and the big black dog had this long-lost dinner.

At night, when sleeping on the floor in Xu Miao's house, Dahei's snoring was so loud that Xu Miao thought he was going to be suffocated to death by his own snoring.

The next morning, the big black dog jumped around excitedly as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

He wagged his tail like crazy at everyone he saw, making Zhou Jicheng scratch his head: "A Miao, do you think Dahei got a little overexcited after seeing you? He wasn't this good-tempered before, wagging his tail at everyone he saw."

After leaving the barracks, Dahei found a place to vent his energy. He followed Xu Miao for a while, then let go and ran wild.

At noon the next day, Zhou Jicheng and his companions found a place sheltered from the wind and had a simple lunch. Just as they were about to ride on their horses, they heard the fierce roar of a big black dog in the distance.

Zhou Jicheng cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, I finally met him."

He then stood up and mounted his horse, shouting, "Hurry up, leave someone to watch over the goods. The rest of you, come with me and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Xu Miao also jumped on his horse and followed closely behind Zhou Jicheng.

Zhou Jicheng turned around and glanced at Xu Miao: "Want to go with us?"

Xu Miao nodded quickly: "I want to go and take a look. I'm a little worried about Dahei."

"Don't you worry about me? Why worry about that dead dog?" Zhou Jicheng was riding on his horse. He suddenly got angry for no reason and raised his voice to shout.

Am I not as lovable as Dahei? You only think about that poor dog.

Xu Miao was amused by Zhou Jicheng's awkward look when he suddenly got angry.

Zhou Jicheng is like A Yuan when he was a child, throwing tantrums and acting up for no reason.

He smiled and coaxed her, "How do you know I'm not worried about you? Haven't I been following you all the time?"

"Aren't you ashamed of being jealous of Dahei?"

Zhou Jicheng also felt very embarrassed. It was so pathetic to be jealous of a big black dog.

Hearing Xu Miao say that he was also worried about him, he became proud again and quickly shouted, "A Miao, hurry up and catch up."

With a red face, he rode out on his horse.

When Xu Miao and the others followed the sound and found Dahei, they saw that the hairs on Dahei's back were all standing up, and he was staring at four barbarians on horseback not far ahead, barking fiercely.

"Dahei, come back!"

Zhou Jicheng looked at the four barbarians riding on horseback from afar and shouted.

The big black dog responded and returned to Xu Miao's horse. Its body was tense and it stared at the front vigilantly, waiting for Zhou Jicheng's order to rush out and bite.

The chestnut horse under Xu Miao was also frightened by Dahei and became nervous, snorting and marching straight in place.

Xu Miao reached out and patted the chestnut horse's neck to comfort the horse under him, while he also tensed his body and stared ahead.

This was the first time Xu Miao faced these foreigners up close. He had only heard about them from Zhou Jicheng and others before, but seeing is believing.

When Xu Miao really saw these barbarians, he was also shocked.

Not far away were four tall, sturdy men, riding on their horses like black towers, whips in hand, fierce glares on their faces as they stared intently at Zhou Jicheng and the others.

The two groups faced each other for a while, and the four barbarians exchanged some words. Xu Miao saw them seemingly conferring something before turning around and riding off in a huff.

It was probably because they saw that Xu Miao and his men had more people and were all armed soldiers, so they turned around and left because they had no chance of winning.

Dahei barked again at the four people who were riding away on horseback, and only stopped barking when Zhou Jicheng spoke up to stop him.

Xu Miao and the others watched the four men ride away on horseback before riding back to their previous resting place.

On the way, Zhou Jicheng asked Xu Miao cautiously: "A Miao, were you scared just now?"

"I'm a little scared." Xu Miao didn't exchange pleasantries with Zhou Jicheng and expressed his feelings sincerely.

If Xu Miao hadn't been following Zhou Jicheng and the others, he would have been scared to death if he had encountered these four ferocious-looking men.

Are you afraid of being stared at by those four barbarians?

Xu Miao suddenly thought of Zhang Ruyi, who was going to marry into a barbarian tribe and become the wife of the tribal leader.

Imagine that every day when she opens her eyes, she sees a group of strong men like wolves and tigers. Xu Miao feels that Zhang Ruyi is like a lamb that has fallen into a pack of wolves, lonely and powerless.

Thinking of this, Xu Miao suddenly asked Zhou Jicheng: "Acheng, do you know Zhang Ruyi?"

"Who is Zhang Ruyi? I've never heard of her and I don't know her." Zhou Jicheng didn't know any of the noble ladies in the capital, and he had no idea who Zhang Ruyi was.

"That was the daughter of General Zhang's family whom I visited the first time to seek happiness. She said at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet that she wanted to marry into the barbarian tribe."

Xu Miao explained to Zhou Jicheng casually.

Before Xu Miao could finish her words, Zhou Jicheng's anger flared up again: "What's the matter? Are you still thinking about your dead husband?"

"That wimp, why are you thinking about him?"

Zhou Jicheng certainly knew how Zhang Chengyi died. In his opinion, Zhang Chengyi's death was not unjust at all.

As a general leading troops to fight, if you were beaten to death by a refugee with a stick, what's the point of living? It would be better to die.

Xu Miao didn't expect Zhou Jicheng to say such a thing. He was so angry that he picked up the horsewhip in his hand and whipped Zhou Jicheng.

The whip lightly passed over Zhou Jicheng's shoulder, and Xu Miao's angry shouts soon followed, reaching Zhou Jicheng's ears: "Acheng, are you crazy? What do I want that dead guy for?"

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten what he looked like. I just wanted to ask you where the barbarian tribe was that asked to marry the noble lady of the Great Zhou Dynasty at the birthday banquet."

"Who am I thinking about?"
