"Sister Xiaoyu is back!" Outside the royal tent, a little girl shouted loudly, her voice filled with joy and adoration.
Tsetseg, who was combing Yan Liuyuan's hair, also had her eyes lit up. She suddenly realized that Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting in front of her, had suddenly relaxed, and his muscles were no longer as tense as before.
It seemed that in the entire grassland, only Sister Xiaoyu could make this young lord feel at ease.
"Go, go and see what Sister Xiaoyu brought back for you this time," Yan Liuyuan said.
Tsetseg was still young and playful, so when she heard this, she rushed out of the royal tent with a smile.
Currently, there were hundreds of warriors in the entire tribe who worshipped Yan Liuyuan like a god, but Yan Liuyuan did not keep any of these people by his side. They were all sent to be commanded by Sister Xiaoyu.
Although they were called commanders, they were actually sent to protect Sister Xiaoyu's safety.
For Yan Liuyuan, if Sister Xiaoyu was gone, then there was nothing to miss in the grassland.
This was his and Sister Xiaoyu's home. As long as the royal court's power was stable, they would no longer have to look at anyone's face or suffer from anyone's supercilious looks.
Every time Sister Xiaoyu returned from a trip, she would ask the warriors in the tribe to catch some cute little animals. On one hand, she wanted to try to keep them in captivity, and on the other hand, she wanted to make the children in the tribe happy.
During this period of time, the tribes surrounding the royal tent were increasingly in awe of Yan Liuyuan, but everyone could not help but sincerely like Sister Xiaoyu, the gentle southern woman.
There were many tribes surrounding the royal court, so there would be conflicts from time to time. For example, if someone stole a family's sheep or someone else stole a family's cow, such small matters could set off a bloody storm on the grassland at any time.
And Sister Xiaoyu was the person who dealt with these matters. She was always fair, never biased towards anyone, and never shielded anyone.
After a long time, Sister Xiaoyu unexpectedly gained everyone's love and respect. Everyone liked to ask her for help when they had any trivial matters.
If Yan Liuyuan used his absolute strength to maintain the authority of the entire King's Court, then Sister Xiaoyu was probably the lubricant between the various tribes.
Of course, this was also because Yan Liuyuan's court was relatively stable. The other tribes did not have a god like Yan Liuyuan.
The prophecies and disasters that were like miracles were really unpredictable. The nomads on the grassland really believed in them.
Therefore, Yan Liuyuan now had a large number of believers. Every morning, they would kowtow to the royal tent a hundred times before starting their day.
This method of maintaining authority seemed to be even more stable. When the tribal leaders saw their own people worshipping Yan Liuyuan as a god, they really could not do anything about it. Moreover, two of the tribal leaders were Yan Liuyuan's believers themselves …
Yan Liuyuan remembered that Ren Xiaosu had once said that using divine authority to stabilize political power might not be the most stable, but it was definitely one of the fastest ways to achieve results.
Just as Yan Liuyuan was distracted, the royal tent was suddenly opened by someone. The cold air from outside rushed in. In the entire royal court, only one person dared to enter without greeting. He raised his head and smiled. "Sister, where did you go this time?"
"Let me tell you some good news. I found a new salt pond behind Mount Gongzhuo in the Northwest!" Sister Xiaoyu smiled and sat beside him. "Now, the problem of salt for the entire tribe has been solved."
Yan Liuyuan smiled and nodded. "That's a good thing!"
But Sister Xiaoyu suddenly realized that Yan Liuyuan did not seem surprised by this matter. She suddenly hit Yan Liuyuan's shoulder. "You're the one who made a wish again, right? Next time, pretend to be in high spirits. Otherwise, I won't feel any sense of accomplishment at all. "
Yan Liuyuan cried out in pain. "It hurts so much. Sister, go easy on me!"
Ever since Yan Liuyuan killed someone, Sister Xiaoyu suddenly often joked with Yan Liuyuan. She would even occasionally hit her brother like a real sister.
This made Yan Liuyuan's believers at a loss. They could only respect Sister Xiaoyu even more …
But Yan Liuyuan knew very well that Sister Xiaoyu did this not to raise her status in the eyes of others, but because she did not want him to always be so dull.
Every time he felt that he was about to slide into the abyss, Sister Xiaoyu would hit him and pull him back from the edge of the abyss.
His divinity would return to human nature.
Therefore, Sister Xiaoyu deliberately made herself appear more lively and cheerful to influence Yan Liuyuan.
At this time, Yan Liuyuan was still crying out in pain. Sister Xiaoyu rolled her eyes. "Alright, stop pretending. Let me ask you something. Why don't you touch Tsetseg?"
"Big Sis, why are you suddenly asking about this?" Yan Liuyuan asked after a moment of silence.
"That girl came running to me with an aggrieved expression and asked me if it was because she wasn't good-looking. I told her it wasn't because Tsetseg was the most beautiful girl in the imperial court. She was even more beautiful than Sister Xiaoyu." Sister Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Then she asked why you still didn't touch her even though she was already living in the imperial court."
"Big Sis, I'm still young," Yan Liuyuan said in a low voice.
"Come on." Sister Xiaoyu said, "There are a lot of people your age who are married in our town, and quite a few of them even have children. But I don't care about these things. You can decide on your own lest you think I'm too long-winded. If you don't like the girls from the steppe, you can take this opportunity to go to the Central Plains and snatch one or two. "
Yan Liuyuan was stunned. "Big Sis, does that sound like something you'd say? If I snatch a girl back, her family will be so sad."
Sister Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's snatch her entire family back."
As they spoke, the two of them started laughing. Actually, Yan Liuyuan knew Sister Xiaoyu was only joking, and Sister Xiaoyu also knew Yan Liuyuan would not do such a thing.
However, after joking around, Yan Liuyuan clearly felt much more cheerful.
Sister Xiaoyu started getting busy in the tent. "I'll pack everything for you. I'll get Tsetseg to take care of your daily needs on this trip. I'll feel more at ease if she's going with you. The others don't even know what you like to eat."
"Mhm." Yan Liuyuan nodded. "She probably also wants to see what the Central Plains is like …. Big Sis, I might kill a lot of people on this trip to the Central Plains. It might even be more than I imagined."
Sister Xiaoyu paused in the middle of packing. "Then come back early. I'll cook porridge for you. Bring some pickled vegetables back from the Central Plains. After all, porridge tastes better when paired with the pickled vegetables from there."
Sister Xiaoyu did not answer the question. It was as though she was deliberately avoiding the question.
At this moment, Hassan's voice rang out from outside. "Master, your visor is ready. Do you want to try it on?"
