I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 972 My Hong'er has grown up

Have to wait another ten days?

That's right, the reason why he had to wait so long was that in addition to distributing warm clothes to the army, Su Yao naturally had to take into account the speed of the three armies' coordination.

As the central army for the surprise attack, Su Yao must wait until the other two armies set out first and fully mobilize the troops in Wusun before he can attack in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the effect of a surprise attack.

As a result, in the next few days, Su Yao's army and the merchants in Jiaohe City ushered in a period of great times.

For these soldiers who followed him through life and death, Su Yao directly ordered to open up the supply and entertain the army with good wine and meat every day. At the same time, he also paid the soldiers in advance and took turns to rest, ensuring that everyone had the opportunity to rest for two days and relax in the city.

As soon as the order was issued, the army cheered and Jiaohe City also ushered in a strong wave of consumption.

The most profitable one is naturally the company caravan that has been following Su Yao all the way.

Except for the part that was directly used as military supplies, the rest of the spoils captured by the army were basically contracted and purchased by the Western Region Development Company and exchanged and traded in cities along the way.

Now, the soldiers received their salaries and came to the city to spend money. For a time, the wine shops and stores in Jiaohe City were doing a booming business, and even the dancers from the Western Regions also earned a lot of money.

However, the small city of Jiaohe was naturally unable to meet this sudden surge in demand, so the company's merchants took the opportunity to open up their supply.

Taking advantage of the privileges granted by the imperial court, they seized the most central and prosperous area in Jiaohe City and established a temporary trading post.

Here, they not only took out the spoils of war that they had previously acquired from the army, but also took out the products of their hometown in the Central Plains and various precious commodities collected from the surrounding Western Regions. They made a lot of money, and for a time, caravans came in an endless stream, turning Jiaohe City into the most prosperous trade center in the Western Regions.

The army was on holiday and resting, and Su Yao also had a rare period of leisure time.

In addition to visiting the military camp every day to inspect the military situation and make sure that young guys like Ma Chao and Yan Xing did not have too much fun and forget about their work, he spent more time accompanying Hong'er and the sisters Hu Ji.

During the day, Su Yao took them, together with A Luozuo and the kings of the Western Regions who came to Jiaohe City to pay tribute, to patrol around Jiaohe City, to understand the people's sentiments and show the kings of the Western Regions the changes in Cheshi under the rule of the Han Dynasty.

At night, you can enjoy the warmth with them in the newly built palace, taste the fine wines and delicacies of the Western Regions, appreciate the performances of local dancers, and spend a heartwarming and intimate time.

During this free time, Su Yao naturally discovered the changes in these girls.

The first and the biggest one is naturally the Hu Ji sisters. Although Su Yao treated this pair of twin sisters well in the past, their status as slaves of a foreign race still made them appear extremely restrained in Su Yao's backyard, and their presence was very weak.

But now they have returned to their homeland, shed their status as slaves, and are becoming more confident under the halo of the princess. Their entire spirit and energy have changed, making them look particularly beautiful and charming.

Although Hong'er is the youngest, she has demonstrated amazing management skills during this period.

Not only did she arrange Su Yao's daily life in an orderly manner, she also assisted in the allocation of a lot of military supplies. Even Su Yao's subordinates such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at her with admiration.

This is also a matter of course.

Hong'er was the first person to receive Su Yao's new-style education, attend a girls' school, and was always helping him deal with household affairs. Hong'er, who was already smart and clever, also improved her skills rapidly.

However, what surprised Su Yao was another aspect.
"???"

"What, what's wrong? Your Highness, why are you staring at me?"

Hong'er's cheeks flushed under Su Yao's burning gaze, and her hands twisted the corners of her clothes nervously. She changed into a light pink Western gauze skirt today, with a silver bell tied around her waist, which made crisp sounds as she moved.

Su Yao suddenly reached out and pinched her small chin, and gently stroked her soft lips with his thumb: "When did you learn to wear Hu clothing?"

"Yes, it was Sister Alyssa who taught me." Hong'er's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's. "It is said that the wind and sand in the Western Regions are strong, so this is both light and convenient."

Before she finished speaking, Su Yao leaned over and kissed her lips. This kiss was different from the gentleness of the past, with a bit of overbearing possessiveness, which shocked Hong'er so much that her eyes widened. Su Yao didn't let her go until she was almost out of breath, and smiled softly, "My Hong'er has grown up."

indeed.

Before I knew it, four years had passed in this world.

The little girl who could only reach his chest on tiptoe has now grown into an 18-year-old girl, and even gave birth to a lovely daughter last year.

But even so, Su Yao didn't feel much change at first.

Because this girl is too simple.

It is said that girls change a lot when they grow up, but Hong'er always maintains her pure and simple nature.

Diao Chan, who became famous in later generations, was a singer raised in the Wang family of Taiyuan. She originally had the best skills in dressing up, but after following Su Yao, she had been taking care of Su Yao's daily life and became his personal maid. Her future growth was mostly spent on learning different skills rather than improving her appearance.

Different from the princesses and noble ladies around Su Yao who were adorned with jewels and glamorous, little Hong'er always remained simple and plain around Su Yao, and she was rarely seen dressing up deliberately.

Her clothes were always simple and elegant. Apart from the regular attire of a servant, the red dress she wore most often was the one Su Yao gave her. Her hair was combed meticulously, and she wore no makeup, as if she was deliberately hiding her beauty.

Therefore, even though the two of them had met each other openly and had physical contact countless times afterwards, in Su Yao's eyes, Hong'er was just a cute, sensible, and lovable little girl, and he had never felt amazed by her.

But today, in this Western Region's customs, Hong'er finally showed her amazing transformation.

The light pink gauze skirt vaguely outlined her increasingly mature curves. The silver bells rang crisply with her steps. She was like a rose bud that was about to bloom, finally blooming with dazzling brilliance.

"Your Highness." Hong'er's cheeks flushed as Su Yao's burning gaze was staring at her. She twisted the corners of her clothes nervously with her hands. "Am I, am I weird doing this?"

Su Yao chuckled and stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms: "Not strange, very beautiful, I like you very much."

His fingers gently stroked Hong'er's cheek, feeling the warmth of her skin. Four years had made this once timid little girl grow into a graceful young lady, with picturesque features, red lips and white teeth, and her every frown and smile was filled with enchanting charm.

Sister Alyssa covered her mouth and laughed softly. Hong'er buried her face in Su Yao's chest in shame, but she heard a man's smiling voice above her head: "Since everything is ready, wear this to sleep with me tonight."

That night, the red candle flickered, and Hong'er knelt beside the bed in her gauze dress, so nervous that even her fingertips were shaking. The gauze dress was thin and almost transparent under the candlelight, outlining the girl's graceful curves. Su Yao leaned against the head of the bed, leisurely admiring her shy appearance.

"Come here." He hooked his finger.

Hong'er took a few steps on her knees, but when she was about to touch the edge of the bed, Su Yao suddenly pulled her into his arms. The man's burning palm moved along her gauze skirt, startling her and she cried out softly, "Your Highness!"

"What did you call me?" Su Yao bit her neck pleadingly.

"Husband, husband" Hong'er's eyes turned red and she changed her words softly.

"Good boy, really good boy!"

Obviously, this title made Su Yao very satisfied. He smiled and pressed the still petite Hong'er into the quilt, and the thin gauze skirt flew up into the air.
So in the following days, Su Yao dealt with military and national affairs during the day and spent time with the three women at night.

It seemed that the last Hu clothing incident had brought Hong'er and the Hu sisters closer together. Hong'er, who had always been resistant to multiplayer games, even let Su Yao unlock many precious CGs for four-player games in one go, which made Su Yao very happy.

Good things come in pairs. A few days later, Zhongyuan also brought him good news.
