Chapter 10

When the girls of our grassland start singing, one song after another, they can sing hundreds of them! Meng Xu shouted loudly, "Iliansu Na!"

At noon, we arrived at Changyu Pass for the changing of clothes and rituals. In the afternoon, as the auspicious hour arrived, the city gates swung wide open, and we were greeted outside the pass by the robust soldiers of Beiliang. Our honor guard remained inside the pass, while the Beiliang guards and honor guard joined in. The carriage that the princess had originally used could no longer be employed, and she was instead transported in the phoenix sedan prepared by Beiliang

Meng Xu turned to look at me, pulled the reins, and slowed the horse's pace, "Does the princess enjoy the scenery of this grassland?"

Joking aside, if I have to listen to you crying and playing the piano every day, I won't be able to survive to return to the Southern Liang.

Everyone was astonished. I was also perplexed and found myself invited onto the phoenix carriage.

Three days later, on an auspicious day, the princess who is to be married will emerge from her quarters

Amidst the deafening sound of firecrackers, we boarded the carriage, with Feng Zheng leading the way at the front. The officials from Beiliang, who were escorting the bride, followed behind the carriage as we majestically exited the inner city gate and ascended along the mountain path

Jia Yue was exceptionally grand in her princess gown, and we, the official ladies, also donned our ceremonial attire. The wedding procession was reorganized, with music and fanfare, and the entire county was adorned with colorful flags, creating an unprecedented atmosphere of festivity

Meng Xu chuckled and said, "If you wish to listen to a song, it is quite easy. This time, among the attendants welcoming the princess, there are many young ladies who are skilled in singing and dancing."

I cannot help but exclaim: "What a fine bird!"

This cat is so fierce, calling it Jin'er seems strange, so I took the liberty to rename it Xiao Jin. When it grows up, it will be Da Jin, and when it gets old, it can still be called Lao Jin. In short, it's very convenient

I have never heard of it. Choose the one you are best at and sing it

Jia Yue rushed over and grabbed my hand, "Rui Yun, starting today, you will ride with me. I know you have practiced martial arts since childhood, and I permit you to carry a sword while riding with me"

Jia Yue was so frightened that her face lost all color, repeatedly calling out: "Rui Yun, where is Rui Yun?"

I am surprised, "Princess, your palanquin is not something that a little girl is qualified to ride in every day."

I am also thinking in my heart: Father, Mother, my daughter is going to the enemy country to commit theft, please bless me to return home safely

Although there is only a mountain separating us, the local customs and landscapes are remarkably different. It is also my first time witnessing the grazing on the grasslands, and I cannot help but marvel at this vast scenery

That evening, I took the cat to meet Jiayue and briefly explained to her the serious implications of killing the cat. Perhaps her aunt had also advised her, so she abandoned the idea of sacrificing the cat and the chicken.

Meng Xu said: "Yilian Suna, the princess wants to listen to songs, please sing a couple for everyone."

Behind me are the gradually receding towering mountains, while before me lies an expansive pasture. A small river meanders through the low hills, and dense clusters of trees divide the land into natural grazing fields. The clouds above resemble fluffy tufts, accentuating the sky's deep blue hue. Birds spread their wings and soar, their calls long and piercing.

I laugh, "Indeed, it is vast and magnificent, making one want to sing out loud"

However, she is unwilling to keep this cat any longer. We also believe that it is not good for such a fierce creature to remain by her side. The relationship between a master and a pet is one that relies on harmony. Jiayue has a weak aura, while this cat has a strong one, which creates an imbalance, making it inauspicious.

Before setting off, the princess performed her final incense offering to the south, weeping like a pear blossom in the rain, and let out a long sigh: "Mother, brother, Jiayue will never return!"

Elena's smile was as radiant as a flower, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue. She nodded vigorously and asked me, "Which song would the princess like to hear?"

Your imagination is truly rich. I was left speechless.

I comforted her: "Princess, those guards are here to protect you"

The officials of Beiliang exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

Jia Yue immediately cried for me, "Those strong men outside, robust like bears, truly frighten me!"

The march of the Northern Liang is significantly faster than ours; the convoy took just over two hours to descend the mountain. At the foot of the mountain lies the plain of Northern Liang, where the people of Northern Liang have grazed their livestock for generations.

The princess was afraid and refused to leave without my protection. I had no choice but to bring my sword and move to the princess's palanquin. Fortunately, the vehicle made by the Northern Liang people was surprisingly spacious; besides the princess and me, it could also accommodate two or three female attendants. The attendants kept the princess company with conversation, leaving me with little to do.

I am in high spirits, "Can you really sing a song?"

Thus, I became the actual owner of this cat, while being the nominal caretaker.

This person appears to be in his early twenties, with strong and handsome features, a tall and upright stature, and exuding an aura of a valiant warrior in his every gesture and movement

A girl riding a white pony hurriedly caught up from the back of the line. She appeared to be around seventeen or eighteen years old, with an oval face, large eyes, and glossy black braids adorned with colorful ribbons.

The commander spoke in a deep and resonant voice, declaring: "Your servant, Meng Xu, respectfully requests the princess's well-being!"

At that moment, Meng Xu whistled and raised his hand. The birds in the sky turned their heads and flew straight down, lightly landing on his wrist adorned with a leather bracelet. It was originally a sea wintergreen.

But now we are already within the borders of Beiliang, at the mercy of others. If we were to encounter sudden hostility from them midway, under orders...

Under the command of the Northern Liang Guard, I come forth to pay my respects to the princess

I couldn't help but glance at Feng Zheng. He is considered a robust young man in our Southern Liang, but now, when compared to this Northern Liang man, he immediately appears much more refined.
