Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

It was quite a coincidence that we encountered this caravan.

As the eldest princess on her mission, Li Yinyin naturally brought a considerable number of guards and troops with her for safety reasons. Some of these people would accompany her to the capital of the Western Regions, while others would be stationed on the Ming border in preparation for any eventuality.

Just as they were about to reach the border, the eagles circling in the sky caught the attention of the Golden Crow Guards.

"Your Highness, it seems that bandits have blocked the caravan ahead. Shall we go and wipe them out?"

"Is it still within Ming territory?" After receiving an affirmative answer, Li Yinyin immediately decided, "Since it is still within Ming territory, we naturally have to take care of it. Nie Ruo, take some people there."

"Your subordinate obeys," Nie Ruo said, mounting her horse and leading a troop of cavalry out. They returned shortly afterward, each bearing the stench of blood.

Li Yinyin was very satisfied with their speed and efficiency. After praising them a few times, she called over a young officer who had graduated from military academy: "Since you have all graduated from the First Military Academy and have been dispatched to various places as officers, how can you allow bandits and thieves to run rampant in the Ming Kingdom? Before I return from the Western Regions, I hope you can give me a peaceful Ming Kingdom."

The young soldier was somewhat ashamed, but he still loudly accepted the order.

Li Yinyin then instructed Nie Ruo and Fu Xia to take the Golden Crow Guards to help. After all, the Golden Crow Guards had only recently been recruited, and they needed some training opportunities to grow.

As for Xiao Fu, because of her young age and the fact that she had previously served as Li Yinyin's maid, she was now the leader of the Golden Crow Guards who were leading Li Yinyin's personal guards, so naturally she had no part in this matter.

After saying this, Li Yinyin's convoy continued on its way.

As Li Yinyin passed by the caravan she had just rescued, she heard a familiar voice ask, "May I ask which esteemed person is traveling here? If we have the opportunity, we must personally pay them our thanks."

"Forget about coming to thank me. This is our Ming Kingdom's eldest princess and the Marquis of Zhenguo. She has always been favored by His Majesty and the Empress and has been raised in the palace. She has not yet left the palace to establish her own residence."

Someone nearby asked, "Can a princess also be granted a title of nobility?"

Then that familiar voice said, "It seems this Marquis must be an extremely powerful figure."

Sitting in the carriage, Li Yinyin tilted her head slightly. She was almost certain that the speaker was Young Master Tong. But the Tong family was in the silver shop business, so why was he suddenly appearing on the road to the Western Regions?

Although she didn't understand this, when the Tong family's caravan followed Li Yinyin's caravan at a distance to avoid trouble, Li Yinyin did not order anyone to drive them away.

Regardless of whose caravan it is, as long as they know that the Ming Dynasty is safe and that it is profitable to trade with the Ming Dynasty, they don't need to spread the word when they return. Just saying a few words will surely make the Ming Dynasty's commerce more prosperous and the Ming Dynasty more wealthy.

Before entering the Western Regions capital, Young Master Tong, who had been following behind, finally made a move.

He brought many gifts to express his gratitude to Li Yinyin for sending people to rescue them and for not driving them away out of kindness.

The items brought by the Tong family caravan were all very characteristic of Jiang Kingdom. Li Yinyin only needed to take a look to know that this business of theirs might only be able to break even, and making a lot of money was out of the question, after all, they were not used to the local environment.

She picked out a few items that interested her, then returned the rest, adding that if these didn't sell well in the Western Regions, they were welcome to try selling them in the Ming Dynasty. She then parted ways with the Tong family caravan without intending to see Young Master Tong again.

However, Young Master Tong took her reminder to heart.

Upon entering the capital of the Western Regions, ministers from the Western Regions immediately came to greet them.

Although the Ming Dynasty was newly established, its national strength was growing rapidly, and it bordered the Western Regions, so they could not help but take it seriously.

After receiving Li Yinyin, the minister personally led them to settle in.

"This courtyard is one of the best in the area. The princess specifically instructed that it be reserved for you to live in."

This area is filled with houses built in the Western Regions style, dozens of them of all sizes, which are now used to receive envoys who come to observe the ceremony.

Compared to the astonishment others felt upon first seeing her, Li Yinyin only glanced at her briefly before saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

The minister from the Western Regions maintained his smile: "Then this humble official will not disturb the princess's rest any longer. The princess said she would like to invite you to the palace for an audience tomorrow. I wonder if the princess can spare the time?"

This minister is quite eloquent and has a good understanding of the culture of the Central Plains. No wonder he was chosen to handle the task of receiving envoys.

Li Yinyin was not surprised that the princess had found time to meet so soon, and naturally nodded in agreement.

After he left, Xiao Fu and the others hurried out to inquire about the news.

“Your Highness, the official is right. Our courtyard is indeed one of the largest. The courtyards to our left and right are for the envoys of Jiang and Shu respectively, the courtyard behind us is for the prince of Beiqi, and the courtyard in front is for the prince of the Mumu tribe of the North.”

Jing Qing, who had listened to the news along with her, laughed: "The customs and culture of Jiang and Shu are almost completely different, and Beiqi and the Mumu tribe are sworn enemies. This princess has put a lot of thought into arranging us in the middle."
