Just as Xun Cai said this, Wang Yi hurriedly raised her head and interrupted: "The Lord is not what you think."

"The Lord is not for himself, he is for the people of Liangzhou... he..."

"Look." Xun Cai looked at Wang Yi with a smile and said: "I just said one sentence about him, and you are busy defending him. If you don't like him, why are you so anxious?"

"I... I don't."

Wang Yi lowered her head, feeling her cheeks burning.

"If it is, it is; if it isn't, it isn't."

"I know what you are thinking and what you are worried about."

"I also know that Duan Yu is not a selfish person."

"I haven't been in Liangzhou for a short time. The people of Liangzhou are wealthy and well-governed by Duan Yu. I can see that Duan Yu is for Liangzhou."

"You, you just care too much about the eyes of the world."

"Since you like him, then bravely fight for it. You dare to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, why don't you dare to tell him you like him?"

Wang Yi shook her head gently.

That's right.

She likes Duan Yu.

Likes him very much.

May I ask, who could not like such a man?

In the battle of Yunwu, she was seriously injured.

It was Duan Yu who pulled her back from the edge of death.

Changing dressings every day, visiting every day.

And that intimacy.

Had long left a deep mark in her heart.

But...

But she didn't dare.

After all, she was a woman who was already engaged, and it was Duan Yu who personally killed her fiancé.

She was afraid.

She was afraid that if she expressed her feelings to Duan Yu and was accepted by him, Duan Yu would be criticized by the people of Liangzhou.

Those people would say, would say that Duan Yu killed her fiancé and also occupied her.

This is not groundless.

She was just worried that her behavior would implicate Duan Yu and ruin Duan Yu's status in the hearts of the people of Liangzhou.

Therefore, even if she liked Duan Yu very much, she could only hide this love in the bottom of her heart.

And then silently guard by Duan Yu's side.

Just like at this time, outside the small courtyard, it was lively, but inside the small courtyard, it was exceptionally cold.

Seeing Wang Yi resisting, Xun Cai shook her head and said nothing more.

Instead, she lowered her head and continued to embroider on the silk.

Although she was forced to be brought to Liangzhou.

But having stayed in Liangzhou for such a long time, Xun Cai had gradually become accustomed to life in Liangzhou.

There was no bitter cold as imagined.

The climate here was even more suitable for living than in Yingchuan.

And here, she didn't have to worry about being urged to marry again.

Quietly bringing up her daughter, watching her daughter grow up slowly.

This was even more comfortable than the days in Yingchuan.

Back courtyard.

Busy maids brought delicious dishes to the dining table.

There was only one huge round table in the restaurant.

Compared to everyone having a small desk and sitting separately, Duan Yu preferred the modern way of a family gathering around a huge dining table.

So Duan Yu asked the craftsmen to build a huge round table according to the dining table of later generations, and it was the kind with a turntable.

At this time, except for Duan Yu, all the family members had taken their seats.

Dong Yi was holding Duan Yu's eldest son, Duan Mu, and beside her was Diao Chan holding Duan Yu's eldest daughter, Duan Chen, and then in order was the Xiongnu princess Su He, who was now six months pregnant.

As well as Zhen Jiang and Zhang Ning who had just arrived in Liangzhou.

And Bian Shi, who sat in the last seat.

As for the marriage of the Princess of Yangdi, Liu Xiu, although it had been decided, the process of marrying a princess was extremely complicated.

Just the preliminary preparations required at least three months.

It could not be like a woman from an ordinary family.

So Liu Xiu was still in Luoyang and had to wait until after the new year to hold the wedding and welcome her to Liangzhou.

Duan Yu, who had changed into a black regular robe embroidered with gold thread, had just finished the Liangzhou reform meeting and walked over from the front courtyard.

After seeing Duan Yu come, all the women in the room stood up one after another.

"Husband."

"Husband."

"Husband."

"My Lord."

The women saluted Duan Yu one after another.

Duan Yu today is no longer the little villager from Jinyang a year ago.

Duan Yu today holds the position of Governor of Liangzhou.

And also possesses the highest title of a subject, a County Marquis, and a County Marquis with a fief of 13,000 households.

Looking at the many wives and concubines he hadn't seen for months, Duan Yu waved his hand with a smile and let the women sit down.

"Come, let Daddy hold you."

Duan Yu beckoned to the eldest son in Dong Yi's arms and the eldest daughter in Diao Chan's arms with a smile.

Dong Yi and Diao Chan, who were sitting on Duan Yu's left and right, handed little Duan Mu and little Duan Chen to Duan Yu.

Duan Yu had just reached out to his eldest son and eldest daughter when he heard a low roar of a beast behind him.

Looking back, he saw two black and white variegated tigers baring their teeth at him.

Whoa.

Half a year later, these two black tigers had grown a lot bigger.

They even learned to protect their little masters.

"If you roar again, I'll stew you both," Duan Yu said with a smile.

The two black tigers lowered their bodies, let out a whimper of begging, and lay on the ground.

"Come on, it's rare for the whole family to be together today, let's eat, let's eat."

Duan Yu said with a smile, holding his son in one hand and his daughter in the other.

Early the next morning.

Duan Yu, who had been separated from his many wives and concubines for months, walked out of the small courtyard where Dong Yi and Diao Chan lived together, feeling refreshed.

After changing clothes under the service of the maids and eating breakfast, Duan Yu took Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Zhao Yun, Zhao Feng, and more than a hundred personal guards and rode out of Jixian.

East of Jixian, a small city that had just been built was located here.

In addition to Tie Shitou and a group of guards, Yang Fu, Yan Zhong, and others also accompanied Duan Yu's team.

"My Lord, this small city has been initially planned."

"Currently, there are four thousand female workers in the city responsible for spinning and weaving."

"According to your previous arrangements, the silk collected from the various Western Qiang tribes has already begun to be woven."

"After a while, when the resettlement of the million refugees is almost done, a large number of female workers can be selected from the refugees to weave."

Duan Yu, who arrived in front of the small city gate, glanced at the outline of the small city and nodded with satisfaction.

This small city is not for the people to live in.
