It was not that she wanted to look down on boys, but girls in this era lacked confidence and needed encouragent more than boys.
Hearing this, the little girls imdiately said with high morale, “We definitely will!”
The boys were not convinced either. “l definitely won’t be surpassed by you guys. Just wait and see!”
Jian Qingqing looked at the group of children’s faces full of ambition and smiled. “You have to listen to the Dean. I’ll co to see you more often if I’m free.’
“We’ll be good,” the children said reluctantly. “Princess, you must co!” Jian Qingqing smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry.”
Then, she looked at Doudou, who had been following her, and asked, “Doudou, can you stay here alone?”
Although Doudou was very reluctant, he still nodded and said, “l can do it!
Sister, don’t worry.”
“Alright.”
At the southwest border of Great Wei, Ming Zhiyan finally decided to return to the Capital after settling the issues left behind after the war.
The southwest border was sparsely populated, and there were many snakes and insects. Although the land was fertile, the food grown was easily eaten by insects, so the people here lived a poor life.
Ming Zhiyan left behind the necessary provisions for the journey, leaving the rest for the army and the people here. He also left behind a lot of high-yield grain seeds for them.
After bidding farewell to the citizens of Yu City, the army set off.
Previously, they had co directly from the Dongyue Capital, and the journey had been even longer.
However, this ti, they only needed to cross a few mountains to get back to the Capital as soon as possible.
However, these mountains were covered with tall trees that covered the sky and the sun. There were countless ferocious beasts and poisonous insects in them. Even the best hunters would get lost in the mountains.
More importantly, there was a miasma forest inside. If one accidentally entered, it could be said that it was difficult to escape death.
Therefore, they had to focus all their attention on this march. They could not be distracted. Otherwise, if they got lost, their lives would be in the hands of God.
Ming Zhiyan was wearing cold and hard armor, walking at the front with the other generals.
“General, it will take at most five days to get out of these two mountains,” said
Deputy General Yin. “After that, we can return to the Capital in half a month.”
Deputy General Yin was a local and one of the few people who could safely pass through these two dense forests, so he led the way back this ti.
Ming Zhiyan nodded calmly and said loudly, “Let’s go!’
On the first day, because they were still walking on the outskirts of the forest, they did not encounter any danger. There were not even many ferocious beasts.
The only wild boars and blind bears they encountered imdiately ran away when they saw so many people,
At night, they found a relatively flat place, cleared all the bushes, and began to set up camp here.
Because this place was located on higher ground, after cutting down the trees that blocked the sun, one could see the sky full of stars.
Here, every star felt bigger than usual, as if they could be picked up with just a hand.
Ming Zhiyan sat on a rock and looked up at the starry sky.
The sky was like a black curtain, decorated with sparkling stars. Occasionally, teors would flash past, disappearing in an instant.
Ming Zhiyan thought regretfully that it would be great if Qingqing was here. She would definitely like this kind of scenery.
In the past, when they were in the Capital, they would occasionally go to the highest tower in the capital to look at the sky at night. Although he did not know what to see, Qingqing liked it very much. She would always look at it without blinking, as if she would never see it again after making a mistake..
