At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner

"Yes, Your Majesty. My Brown tribe's beast cavalry discovered a Dacheng army of 10,000 people. Unfortunately, we encountered a pack of wolves and could not chase them anymore. We lost an iron-eating beast." said the Brown tribe leader.

"It would be fine if it was just one beast, but I'm afraid half of the ten thousand people were eaten by the wolves," said Peng Qin.

"Why did they come to the territory of my Southern Dian Kingdom?" Lan Yishen asked.

"Reply..." The Brown tribe leader didn't continue.

Peng Qin interrupted him and said, "Lan Yishen will be the regent of our Southern Dian Kingdom from now on. You can respectfully call him the regent!"

"Yes! Your Highness the Regent is a skilled worker they sent to save Qianyue Valley to mine and repair the royal mausoleum." The Bulang tribe leader replied.

"Interesting! I'm afraid they know about our mine now!" Lan Yishen said.

"Then we want you to gather the generals and kill those people." said the chief of the Giant Elephant Tribe.

"Let's bury the late king first! After autumn, I will lead everyone to conquer the sixteen counties of Sichuan Province." Lan Yishen said.

"Well, we have to show it to Emperor Dacheng."

"The king is mighty." said the tribal leaders.

It was quiet in the Southern Dian Kingdom's palace late at night. Lan Yishen took out the colorful butterfly in his hand, looked up at the sky and said, "Where are you? I will definitely find you!" After that, he quickly put the butterfly back into his sleeve.

A spy from the Nanchuanshan garrison brought the news that the old king and Peng Qin had become the king of Southern Yunnan to the military camp.

"Peng Qin and Lan Yishen are really capable! Father, what should we do now?" Lin Jingmo asked.

"Ha! Ha! Old general, look what I brought back!" Mu Zhongye walked into the camp with a smug look on his face.

"General Mu, now that the new king of Southern Dian has ascended the throne, the thirty-six tribes have become united again, and you still can laugh?" Lin Dengchi said.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Lan Yishen used the blood poison to control the leaders of the thirty-six tribes. Besides, Peng Qin is just a tyrant who is greedy for pleasure. Once the Southern Dian Kingdom is in chaos, we will have a chance." Mu Zhongye said.

"What does General Mu mean?" Lin Jingmo asked curiously.

"I have already planted spies in the Thirty-Sixth Division. Don't worry. However, I have discovered two mines. If I pass this news to the emperor, do you think he will send more people?" Mu Zhongye said

"Now is a good time to retake the two cities. Jing Mo, you must immediately mobilize the troops and we will take the two cities." General Lin said. "Deng Chi, Deng Yuan, you guys go prepare kerosene, the more the better."

"Yes! Commander." Lin Dengchi and Deng Yuan immediately took the military order and walked out of the camp upon hearing it.

"General Mu, do you have anything else to say?" asked General Lin.

"Yes! What should we do with the rescued civilians? And the princess's wolfhound is missing." Mu Zhongye said dejectedly.

"You?" General Lin sighed, "Let me see how you explain this to the girl."

"He should not have been killed by those apes! He went back to the wolf pack! Now is the critical moment. I can't send troops to look for him in the wolf pack!" Mu Zhongye said.

"Okay, then go talk to that girl when the time comes!" said General Lin.

Mu Zhongye was looking at himself in a dilemma, not knowing where the wolf had gone. Did it go to find the mother wolf or the mother wolf? Suddenly, he saw a fat black and white iron-eating beast locked in an iron cage in front of him. It was grinning hoarsely at him and kept hitting the cage. An idea came to his mind.

Now Qionglou and Haiwang have returned to Kangzhuang Town, and they have brought more than a hundred sisters with them.

"Princess, look, there are more than a hundred sisters and fellow apprentices here?" Qionglou said.

"Greetings, Princess." Everyone knelt down in unison.

"It's good that you sisters from all departments can come. There's no need to kneel down." Yu Yunxin said.

"We will all follow the princess's arrangements." Hai Wang said to everyone.

Yu Yunxin called Qionglou over and asked softly, "Are these the disciples from Yanyu Manor...?"

"Princess, these were selected by Hai Wang and I for you. Among them, there are not only those who are good at embroidery, but also those who are good at arithmetic, farming, medicine, divination and martial arts.

Yu Yunxin was very happy when she heard this and looked at everyone and said, "Those of you who can do arithmetic, please stand up first."

When everyone heard this, ten disciples stood up, all wearing purple fine cloth robes. This should be the uniform of the sect!

"Princess, we are the inner three disciples who are proficient in divination and arithmetic formations." said the leader.

"What's your name?" Yu Yunxin asked.

"Xuan Zi!" the leader said and began to introduce the nine people behind him: "Except for the sisters in the embroidery workshop who use names of colors, the ones behind me all use the word Xuan in their names: Xuan Jing, Xuan Ying, Xuan Ti, Xuan Yu, Xuan Zhu, Xuan Yuan, Xuan Yu, Xuan Run, and Xuan Bai."

Yu Yunxin thought the name of Yanyu Manor was really interesting and said, "Okay, I'm in need of a few accountants here. You can go to the warehouse over there! There are rooms there too."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zi returned a gift to Yu Yunxin and led everyone to the yard next to the warehouse.

The rest of the people were arranged by Yunshan according to their respective positions. Now it was the New Year and the embroidery workshop also had to be arranged after the New Year. Anyway, she had many houses on the mountain and it was easy to arrange these people.

With the arrival of more than a hundred people, Yu Yunxin and Chunyu felt much more relaxed. Xuan Zi assigned the tasks of accounting clearly and she felt at ease listening to the "click! click! click" of the beads in the accounting office.

Without much to do, he took his grandmother and her family to Yunmengxuan in Shangyang County. As soon as they arrived outside the city, they saw a group of soldiers leading a large number of skinny civilians towards the county town.

Mu Zhongye saw the carriage passing by and Yu Yunxin lifting the curtains, so he immediately stopped them.

"Princess, I have brought you something good." Yu Yunxin, who was chatting enthusiastically with Old Madam Lin and the others in the car, heard this and asked Qiu Shuang to open the curtain and look at Mu Zhongye.

Mu Zhongye gave a wink and she and Qiu Shuang jumped off the carriage together.

"The little wolf is back." Yu Yunxin said excitedly.

Mu Zhongye scratched his helmet and began to say, "I'm sorry, Princess. When we went with more than 10,000 soldiers and spies to rescue people, there were too many people. We met the Bulang people. They are all masters of beast taming. They have iron-eating beasts as mounts, and a group of mountain apes with knives. The little wolf rushed over when it saw the mountain apes. We retreated to protect the people and did not catch up to chase them. Later, we fought against several iron-eating beast cavalry alone, and heard the howling of wolves. We captured a iron-eating beast that fell behind, and it hurt many of our soldiers! In the end, the soldiers who were not injured were left behind. The battle situation was too chaotic at that time. I deserved to die for not bringing the little wolf back for you." Mu Zhongye said with regret and annoyance.

He looked at Yu Yunxin's face, which looked like she was about to curse, and immediately pulled up Yu Yunxin's sleeve and took her to the cage where the iron-eating beast was imprisoned. The black cloth was lifted to reveal a giant panda gnawing at the iron cage. It was a chubby adult giant panda.

"Is this the iron-eating beast? It's obviously a giant panda." Yu Yunxin said, pointing at the honest giant panda.

As soon as the giant panda heard this, it immediately stopped biting the iron cage and started roaring.

When Mu Zhongye heard that the princess did not blame him, he started to talk again, "Princess, you see, we also delayed the time to find the little dog because of dealing with it. How about I give it to you as compensation? You see, its fur can make you a sweater."

"Mu Laohei!" Yu Yunxin was so angry that she directly called out Mu Zhongye's nickname and drew the sword in her hand.

Qiu Shuang stopped her and said, "Princess, don't be angry. Don't draw your sword so easily. Girls age quickly when they get angry."

"Why don't you just skin this guy?" Yu Yunxin said as she picked up the sword and was about to hit Mu Zhongye.

Mu Zhongye picked up the two daggers in his hands and blocked a few times. Don't be fooled by Mu Zhongye's huge stature, he is actually a flexible, dark and strong man. He was a secret guard, so it was no problem for his dark and strong body to dodge these two sword moves, not to mention that Yu Yunxin didn't use any killing moves and just wanted to hit him a few times with the sword.

"Princess, at worst I can go deeper into the enemy's territory to look for it for you." Mu Zhongye said as he held up a pair of daggers to block Yu Yunxin's sword.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin said angrily, "What did you promise me?" Then she picked off Mu Zhongye's helmet with a sword.

Mu Zhongye turned his back and took Yu Yunxin's backstab with his dagger, saying, "If I had known about these people, I would have asked your uncle Lin Jinghe to send them back."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxin put down the sword in her hand and said angrily, "I just wanted to hit you a few times to vent my anger, but I didn't expect you to hide."

"Princess, why didn't you tell me earlier that I have thick skin and strong flesh? You can beat me as much as you want." Upon hearing this, Mu Zhongye walked to Yu Yunxin, took out the whip and handed it to Yu Yunxin.

Yu Yunxin didn't take it. Seeing how so many people could come back, she was already satisfied. She looked at the panda trapped in the cage with pity and said, "Why don't you just release the panda!"

"It's impossible that it hurt so many of my subordinates! I will have trouble explaining myself if I let it go." Mu Zhongye said.

Yu Yunxin looked at the panda in the iron cage. Now it was not as ferocious as before. It looked at Yu Yunxin with its round eyes and began to lick the wound on its left leg.

"Did you hurt its leg?" Yu Yunxin asked, looking at the wound on the panda's left leg.

"No, it chased us. We were also surprised that it had no cavalry with it. We don't know why it chased us at that time." Mu Zhongye said, looking at the iron-eating beast.

"Qiu Shuang, bring some people to dig more bamboo shoots." Yu Yunxin said.

"Miss, what do you want to do with the bamboo shoots?" Qiu Shuang asked puzzledly.

"Feed it to it!" Yu Yunxin said, pointing at the panda.

"It eats iron, how could it eat bamboo shoots?" said Mu Zhongye.

"If it eats iron, why doesn't it eat this iron cage?" Yu Yunxin glanced at Mu Zhongye and said.

Yu Tinghai brought a group of yamen runners and several doctors carrying medicine boxes. He ran to Mu Zhongye and said, "General Mu, are these the people you rescued?"

"Yes! I won't stay here because there are other important matters in the army." Mu Zhongye finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yu Tinghai coming. He rode away without even caring about his subordinates behind him.

"You run so fast." Yu Yunxin wanted to hold Mu Heizi back but he slipped away.

The old lady came out and said, "Xin'er, please let General Mu go. I believe your little wolf will come back."

"Grandma, you guys go to Yunmengxuan first! I'll come over later." Yu Yunxin said.

"Okay! You have to be careful." After the old lady said that, she asked the driver to drive away. The three cousins ​​in the carriage looked at the panda in the cage curiously from time to time.

"Princess, you'd better release this bear! There is a bamboo mountain behind our village. We have seen this kind of bear when we went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. In our place, it is the mountain god, helping us to look after our livestock. Once, the chickens of our village chief were stolen by a fox, and it was this kind of bear that drove the fox away. We dare not provoke it. Sometimes when we go to the bamboo mountain, we will give the bear a few steamed buns." said a thin villager who was sent back.

"Where is your village? Take me there." Yu Yunxin asked when she heard it.

"We are from Cuizhu Village, Shangyang County. I can take you there." the man replied.

At this time, the constable glanced at the clerk and said, "Are you Niu Hongcang from Cuizhu Village?"

"Sir, I am not." The man began to cry and squatted on the ground crying.

"Brother Niu was beaten to death by the southern barbarians in order to save me! Woo woo"

When the others heard this, they remembered what happened to them in Southern Dian and started crying.

"Doctors, go and check their injuries." Yu Tinghai said.

Behind the yamen runners were many civilians who had come to report crimes. When they saw the people in the crowd, they rushed over. Some cried, "Son! It's great that you're alive."

"Father, you are finally back."

"You bastard, you're finally back." Various voices rose and fell.

Five doctors came and they were busy taking the pulses. Fortunately, there were military doctors in the barracks who gave them some simple medicine and treated their wounds, and they just bandaged them.

"Captain He and Captain Li, please keep these people for a while and find a few people who can explain things clearly to record the documents." Yu Tinghai did not say anything when he saw this scene, but just gave instructions to the captains and bailiffs.

Seeing these people looking pale and thin from hunger, several yamen runners went into the county town and bought some buns and hot tea to share with the returning people.

"Dear villagers, please rest where you are first, eat some hot food, and then tell the constables and yamen runners about your trip to Southern Dian. I will record it." Yu Tinghai said as he looked at the crowd reuniting with their families.

When the people heard this, they all knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Qingtian. If it weren't for the princess and the adults, we don't know when we can see our son again!"

"Everyone, please don't be polite. Let's talk seriously after you're full. It's General Mu and the soldiers at the border who saved you." Yu Tinghai continued.

"Yes, we should all thank you!" said the people who were sent back.

Soon, the yamen runners pushed several carts loaded with steaming buns and hot tea.

Yu Yunxin looked for a while and came to the iron cage where the panda was locked. Now Qiu Shuang hadn't come back, so she sat outside the iron cage and said, "Hey! Don't worry, I'll give you food in a minute."

At this time, Yu Tinghai took two steamed buns and handed them to Yu Yunxin, motioning her to give them to the panda behind her.

"Dad, it won't eat this!" Yu Yunxin asked in confusion.

"Animals will eat anything when they are hungry. I've even seen dogs chewing apples!" said Yu Tinghai.

Yu Yunxin took the steamed bun and handed it to the panda in the cage. Unexpectedly, the panda caught two buns with its front paws and then sat in the cage, holding the buns in its two paws and started eating them. Yu Yunxin threw another one over, only to see that there was a huge thorn on the panda's left leg, which had pierced its paw. No wonder it went crazy and chased people.

"Dad, your steamed buns are really useful." Yu Yunxin said.

"Then what are you going to do with it?" Yu Tinghai asked as he looked at the panda eating with great relish.

"Send it back to the forest!" Yu Yunxin replied.

"Well, when I was young and handling a case, I heard about a fox in the forest repaying a favor. A farmer's family saved a fox that was almost frozen to death during a heavy snowy day. Later, the fox sent a rabbit to the family every day. When the family became rich, the fox disappeared. These animals are all spiritual. I don't think it will go back to the Bulang people after you saved it!" said Yu Tinghai.

It is true that all things have spirits. Yu Yunxin looked back at the giant panda in the cage and smiled.
