Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 112 Surrender

Su Yue and the other maids tidied up the table and began to put some snacks on it from their spatial storage.

Raisins, dried apricots, dried apples, dried peaches, longans, pine nuts, chestnuts, melon seeds, peanuts, and a big watermelon.

It can be considered perfect.

I'm only willing to do some work today because I'm in a good mood during the Lunar New Year.

When the maids finished tidying up and came over, they casually closed the door, leaving only one window open.

Su Yue found it quite boring to just sit there, so she started inviting them to perform.

Speaking of singing, Su Yue's singing skills in her previous life were really nothing to brag about, but that did not affect her love and appreciation for music in the slightest.

Surprisingly, the body it now occupies seems to have a real talent for singing.

Su Yue took the lead without hesitation, cleared her throat, and then sang with deep emotion the classic song that was always sung at the end of the Spring Festival Gala.

As Su Yue's melodious singing voice filled the room, the previously quiet room was instantly enveloped in a cheerful and joyful atmosphere.

Her clear and melodious voice was like heavenly music, deeply touching everyone present.

When the song ended, everyone praised Su Yue's wonderful performance and applauded enthusiastically.

Then the second is Qiaoyun. Don't be fooled by the fact that this little girl always looks shy and timid.

But once she stands up, she seems like a completely different person, brimming with confidence and radiant with joy.

It turns out that Qiaoyun has a little-known talent – ​​storytelling.

She parted her lips slightly and began to vividly recount a captivating story.

The vivid descriptions and dramatic plot twists quickly captivated everyone present, leaving them completely engrossed.

The storytelling was even better than that of storytellers in teahouses, it was just a bit short.

When Qiaoyun finished telling the story and heard the applause, she felt a little embarrassed. She had only heard the story by chance from a storyteller in a teahouse. She hadn't heard the whole thing; she had only heard the rest from other people gossiping.

Su Yue thought Qiaoyun was really great; she could cook and tell stories, she was a real gem.

The group ate and chatted, and Su Yue drank several bowls of fruit wine and a bowl of small glutinous rice balls that Qiaoxiang brought over. She was so full that she almost threw up.

In the end, she had to go back to her room to sleep, supporting her back. If she ate like this every day, she would become a 200-pound fat man.

Su Yue slept soundly through the night, and when she woke up the next day, the snow outside had stopped.

She got out of bed, dressed, went into her room to wash up, and then opened the door to go out.

Then I smelled a wonderful aroma, like the smell of steamed buns.

Su Yue went to the kitchen and found Dali helping out there.

It turned out that several maids wanted to take advantage of the abundance of meat to steam more meat buns and red bean buns that Su Yue loved, so that she could put them away.

They weren't very strong, so they could manage to knead a small amount of dough. But this time they had to knead a lot of dough, and since Dali was strong, she was pulled in to knead it.

I've already kneaded three bowls of dough since I got up this morning.

The wooden grid for freezing ice, which I ordered the day before yesterday, was delivered this morning.

Qiaoxia had already started freezing the ice. Su Yue looked at the several steamers of buns that had been steamed on the big pot and put them into the storage space of her space while they were still hot.

Then he ate breakfast directly in the space, took out a lot of ingredients from the space and put them in the kitchen, and then went back to the house.

She hasn't cultivated for several days, so she needs to cultivate a little more today to make up for it.

Then the person in the kitchen said something and went back inside.

She went inside and closed the door. She didn't plan to cultivate in the space today; she wanted to try cultivating outside. If not, she would cultivate in the space.

I sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. At first, I felt like it wasn't working and was about to give up when I realized that I could cultivate outside, but it wasn't as fast as in the space.

That was fine, so Su Yue stopped being distracted and focused on her cultivation.

He meditated for two hours until someone outside came to call him.

"My Lord, General Liang has arrived." A soft knock came from outside the door, accompanied by Qiaoxia's gentle and respectful call.

Inside the room, Su Yue had her eyes closed and was circulating her internal energy to regulate her breathing.

Upon hearing the sound, she slowly opened her eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in her clear, autumn-water-like eyes.

Then, she gently exhaled a breath of stale air, as if expelling all the impurities from her body.

"Understood, take them to the front hall! I'll be there in a bit." Su Yue's voice was clear and melodious, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Yes," Qiaoxia replied, then turned to lead General Liang to the front hall.

Before long, Su Yue had quickly tidied her appearance and walked lightly towards the front hall.

When she stepped into the front hall, she immediately saw Liang Rong pacing anxiously back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pan, muttering something to himself.

Upon seeing Su Yue arrive, Liang Rong immediately went to greet her and began to speak eloquently, as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube: "My lord, the Xiongnu actually sent a messenger with a letter last night."

The letter said that as long as we release all the guys we captured before, they are willing to return all the cities we took!

Tell me, where in this world can you find something so easy to achieve?

Putting aside the extent of the damage they've done to these towns, simply letting these bandits go so easily is an insult to our Great An Kingdom!

In my opinion, they're just daydreaming, trying to get their hands on a swan!

Su Yue frowned slightly and asked thoughtfully, "Among the people we have captured, are there any with special status or who are particularly important?"

Otherwise, why would the Xiongnu king have so readily offered to return the city?

"Hehehe, I have to say, the Immortal Envoy is really lucky!"

Back then, on that very day, one of our captives turned out to be the elder brother of one of the many wives and concubines of the Xiongnu king.

Originally, the brother of one of his wives and concubines was not a very important person, but this wife and concubine was deeply favored by the Xiongnu king!

Not only that, her family's strength is also not to be underestimated! That's why the Xiongnu sent an envoy in such a hurry.

As Liang Rong spoke, the scene from that day reappeared in his mind, and a smug look appeared on his face. He felt extremely happy.

Hearing this, even Su Yue couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "I didn't expect that the Xiongnu king would be such a lovelorn man? His devotion to his concubine is beyond my expectations."

At this moment, Liang Rong nodded and then said, "Yes!"

Su Yue thought for a moment and then said, "With so many prisoners left here, how much food do you have to feed them?"

In my opinion, those that can be sent away should be sent away as soon as possible, lest things get complicated.

Of course, besides promising to return the two captured cities to them, we also need to ask them for something else.

After all, they were the losers this time, so we can't just suffer a loss for nothing, can we?

We need to carefully consider what treasures or resources they have there, and then we should take them all.

In this way, we can both make up for our losses and further strengthen the national power of our Great An Kingdom.

Su Yue thought to herself that now that she was protecting the Great An Kingdom, she must never let other dynasties bully her again.
