"Sister, why are you here?"

After getting closer, Mi Rui asked in surprise and joy.

Immediately, she saw Chu Shuijun lying at Mi Jiang's feet. After staring at the latter for a while, she spat out and said angrily: "It was too easy for him to die!"

At this time, the Zhurongmai witches who followed her looked at the Gonggongmai witches on the ground who were shot to death by random arrows with strange expressions, as well as the thousands of Wei troops lined up in a neat formation in the distance.

.

They may have become curious about Mi Jiang's identity.

Only a few witches who were similar in age to Mi Jiang and Mi Rui showed excitement on their faces at this moment, looking at Mi Jiang without blinking.

After all, there was a time when Mi Jiang was one of them.

However, looking at Mi Jiang's luxurious attire at this moment, these witches hesitated. They didn't know whether they should step forward to say hello to this former sister, or how to interact with the Queen of Wei.

Former sisters greeting.

In the end, Mi Jiang raised her hand, took the initiative to wave to her former sisters, and said hello: "Maji, Hongkui, Lan, and Dan, long time no see."

"...Ginger...is it ginger..."

The Zhurongmai witch, whom Mi Jiang calls "Maji", is quite coy. She no longer has the heroic spirit she had when she fought with Cang Qing and other Gonggongmai witches. She seems to be hesitating that her former sister has become the queen of Wei.

, whether she can still call the other person's name like she did before.

As if she sensed Ma Ji's hesitation, Mi Jiang nodded, took a few steps forward and gestured to get closer: "It's me."

After that, she noticed that among the Zhu Rongmai witches, some young witches who were estimated to be around eighteen or nineteen years old looked at her with confused expressions, or looked at her skirt with envy, and then asked

: "Are these...the newcomers?"

Seeing that Mi Jiang responded to the name "Jiang", the hesitation in the witch Maji's heart also subsided a bit, and she nodded and said: "They were adopted by the village one after another after you left. Unfortunately, when the village was destroyed by those bitches like Gong Gong,

Many sisters died at that time...just like the rest of us, most of them were abandoned 'sacrifice'."

Mi Jiang nodded, of course she knew what a 'sacrifice' was, because the country of Ba has always had the custom of using baby girls to sacrifice to mountain gods and ghosts. However, most of these baby girls who were originally used to sacrifice ghosts and gods would be killed by jackals in the mountains.

Eaten by tigers and leopards, only a small number of lucky ones encounter witches and are taken to witch villages to be raised.

"After so many years, have the Ba people still not changed much?" Mi Jiang sighed quietly.

"Most Ba people are ignorant. Even if we stop them many times, they still don't believe it..."

Miko Mochi said with a complicated expression, because she herself was equivalent to an abandoned sacrifice.

Mi Jiang nodded with emotion.

When she was in the Ba Kingdom, she could not accept certain customs of the Ba Kingdom, and after arriving in the Wei Kingdom, she was even more unacceptable.

Compared with the Ba Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom has almost no such cruel custom of "human sacrifice". Basically, only cattle, sheep and grains are used for sacrifices.

"sister!"

Seeing that her sister ignored her for a long time, Mi Rui was a little anxious and asked again: "Sister, why are you here?" At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, and asked in surprise with her eyes wide open: "You don't know how?

Did he sneak out?"

"Do you think I am you?"

Mi Jiang reached out and knocked on her sister's forehead in annoyance, causing the young witches to open their eyes in surprise. After all, Mi Rui was now their great witch of Zhu Rongmai, that is, their leader.

"Sister, you have learned bad things from your brother-in-law."

Mi Rui said angrily that once upon a time, her brother-in-law liked to hit her forehead with his fingers, which was quite painful.

At this time, Yang Yan, the leader of the black crows who followed Mi Rui and his party, also stepped forward to salute Mi Jiang with fists in his hands: "Queen."

"Hmm."

Mi Jiang nodded and asked Yang Ji, "Where is Zhang Qigong and Captain Zhang?"

Yang Yi replied respectfully: "Captain Zhang is protecting Ba Wangjun and his party from behind..."

As he spoke, he motioned with his eyes to the Black Crows nearby, asking them to immediately notify Zhang Qigong and ask the latter to come as soon as possible.

"Ba Wangcheng? The king of the Ba clan, Bachen?" Mi Jiang asked with a slightly surprised tone.

"Yes, Queen."

"That's it..."

A trace of melancholy flashed through Mi Jiang's eyes. After all, when she left Wushan with her sister Mi Rui more than 20 years ago, Ba Jin had not yet become the king of Ba country. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years later, Ba Jin had become

The king of the Ba Kingdom, Mijiang, already has a teenage son, Zhao Wei.

About an hour later, Zhang Qigong, who learned that Queen Mi had arrived, rushed over panting with Ba Qian and his party.

At that time, the Shang Shui army generals under Wu Ji had collected the bodies of Lord Chu Shui and the witches of the Gonggong line, and then dismissed most of the Wei soldiers, leaving only the 500 soldiers led by Wu Ji himself.

Soldiers, guarding the Queen Mi Jiang of Wei State.

When Zhang Qigong arrived, Mi Jiang was chatting with the witches who were praying for Rongmai. Although the younger generation of witches were very unfamiliar with Mi Jiang, after learning that this sister was once one of them,

And since she was the biological sister of their great witch Ji Rui, the two parties quickly became familiar with each other.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Qigong, pays homage to the Queen."

Arriving in front of Mi Jiang, Zhang Qigong bowed and bowed.

"Captain Zhang, there is no need to be polite."

Mi Jiang raised her right hand to support Zhang Qigong, then pointed at Mi Rui and said to Zhang Qigong: "This silly sister of mine, thanks to Captain Zhang for taking care of me these days..."

Upon hearing this, Mi Rui was unhappy and said angrily: "Sister, why is he taking care of me? I am clearly taking care of him, okay? Without me, he would have been bitten to death by a snake in the mountains."

Seeing this, Zhang Qigong also quickly said: "As Lord Mi Rui said, I am ashamed that I have the entrustment of the Queen and the Empress, yet I still need Lord Mi Rui to take care of me... A woman as beautiful and smart as Lord Mi Rui really does not need me.

Help."

"Sister, take a look." Mi Rui was very satisfied with Zhang Qigong's flattery.

"Excellent and wise? Haha!"

Mi Jiang, who had no expression on his face, let out a soft chuckle after hearing this.

If outsiders don't understand her, will she still not understand her biological sister?

In her opinion, her sister can be called "Xiuwai", after all, she has a good face, but "Huizhong", this may not be the case.

Although she is indeed quite happy now, with a loving husband and a filial son, looking back at the beginning, when she was forced to commit herself to her enemy Zhao Run, wasn't it the stupid thing done by this stupid girl Mi Rui?

Regarding Mi Rui, this stupid girl, Mi Jiang had recalled it more than once, trying to carefully recall that when she was fleeing with her infant sister in her arms, had she bumped into this girl's head on the way? Otherwise, why would this girl be so stupid?

"Look? What are you looking at? Captain Zhang just complimented you politely."

Mi Jiang said to her sister angrily.

Upon hearing this, Mi Rui became even more unhappy and said rudely to Zhang Qigong: "Hey, tell my sister, are you under my care these days?"

Of course, Zhang Qigong did not dare to offend this woman who he thought was smart and vindictive, so he quickly agreed and praised Mi Rui repeatedly.

Listening to Zhang Qigong's expression that didn't seem to be fake when he praised Mi Rui, Mi Jiang was also puzzled and looked at Mi Rui in disbelief.

"Could it be that after not seeing each other for so many years, this silly girl suddenly became enlightened?"

After staring at Mi Rui for a long time, Mi Jiang suddenly said calmly: "Amei, on my carriage, there are your favorite pastries and preserved fruits..."

"Really?" Mi Rui opened her eyes wide in surprise, then turned around and ran towards her sister's carriage.

A moment later, Mi Rui's anxious voice came from the carriage: "Sister, where is it? Why can't I find it?"

"...I lied to you."

After taking a look at the carriage, Mi Jiang shook her head with some regret.

She has confirmed that her sister is still the same foolish and heartless girl she once was.

"Wait a minute! Since that girl is still the same silly girl as before, then this Captain Zhang..."

Turning to look at Zhang Qigong, Mi Jiang's eyes became a little playful.

"Come on, come on, it's this kind of oppressive gaze..."

He murmured in his heart, unable to resist the oppressive eyes of the queen in front of him. Although Zhang Qigong didn't know what was going on, he immediately changed the subject: "Why is the queen here? As far as I know, this is the Yiling area.

, and further to the west is Xiying of Chu State... How did the Queen and General Wu Ji break through the Chu army on the border? "

After hearing Zhang Qigong's confusion, Wu Ji, the commander-in-chief of the Shangshui Army, smiled and explained on his behalf: "Captain Zhang, while you were chasing Lord Chushui in Wushan, we, the Wei Dynasty, started a war against Chu."

"Start a war with Chu?" Zhang Qigong had a look of surprise on his face.

"Yeah." Wu Ji secretly glanced at Queen Mi Jiang who was standing nearby, and said with a chuckle: "After careful consideration, Your Majesty decided to attack "Wu County" and "Xiying County" first to cut off the connection between Chu and Ba.

connect……"

Beside him, a warm smile appeared on Mi Jiang's face.

In fact, what Wu Ji told was just an excuse declared by the Wei court to the outside world. The real reason was that the king of Wei decided to do his best to help his woman intercept and kill his enemy, that's all.

While Wu Ji was explaining to Zhang Qigong, Mi Jiang raised her head and looked at the sky.

She had obviously left Luoyang not long ago, but at this moment, she missed Luoyang, Fengyi Palace, her husband and her beloved son very much.
