Chapter 406 – The Growing Li Jiu

　　”Amuda, you say, how much longer will our days like this last, we should be eagles riding the grassland, not slaves repeating heavy labor every day like now” At one of the construction sites of the new palace, a burly Turkic man, just after lifting a basket of soil, grumbled to his companion beside him.

　　”Zhe Bei, you still save a little strength, do not complain, I think here is good, although there is no freedom, and heavy labor, but at least we can eat, and will not be killed by the nobles alive, you remember in the grassland, you have not eaten for a long time! I remember a whole month, even if I was the best rider of the tribe, I didn’t have a full meal for a whole month, but here, I can eat every day, so I am very satisfied” Amuda put down the bamboo basket in his hand and said to his brother Zhe said, “Yes, here we can eat every day, but at least we can have enough and won’t be killed alive by the nobles”.

　　”Yes, here we have enough to eat! But I heard that those nobles of the former tribes are in a bad way, do you remember the rebellion that happened last month?” Zhe Bei finished, looked around, saw no one around, then came to Amuda’s side “Brothers, I tell you, last month’s rebellion, that is the leader of the nobles were killed.”

　　”What, Zhe Bei, is your information accurate? That little girl said she would let them go!” Hearing Zhe Bei’s words, Amuda stared at him with wide-eyed surprise and asked in disbelief.

　　”Brothers, they were indeed killed, and still in front of all the nobles were killed, was spared only those civilians, but their life is not easy, see those who are moving boulders, they are that time to participate in the rebellion survived, as for how I know, you remember last month, I was not one day called away well! That day I went to carry the corpses,” Zhe Bei finished, looking a bit scared.

　　”Hey, brother, if you know this, then why are you still complaining there, it’s not good to be alive! As long as we survive these three years, we will be able to go home, and we may even earn some money, isn’t it good!” Amuda looked at Zhe Bei and urged again.

　　”Brothers, I tell you, I just see these, will complain, you say even if we survive these three years, back to the grassland, we are just an ordinary herdsman, you do not want to ride the steed to build a career!” Zhe said to this excited look at Amuda.

　　”Brother, build a career, you do not dream, we are now already a slave, how to build a career” Amuda looked at the excited Zhe Bei, some funny to him said.

　　”Although we are slaves, but as long as we follow the right person, we can build a career, and that person, I have already found, so I am going to put up a fight, if I succeed, then I, Zhe Bei, will still be able to gallop on my steed, even if I lose it will just go to accompany those unlucky people, brother, do you want to be with me” Zhe Bei finally put his thoughts in his heart.

　　”Zhe Bei, are you talking about that little girl, is it possible?” Amuda wasn’t stupid, he guessed who Chulbe was talking about, but he thought it was crazy.

　　”Why is it impossible, it’s not like you haven’t seen her tactics over the past few months, I think it’s right to follow her” Chulbe said with conviction.

　　While Zhe Bei and Amuda were discussing there, Li Jiu, who had just completely deployed the progress of the construction site, was now leading a tour of the huge construction site.

　　Although she is still young, just eleven years old, but after these months in the management of the site, she has demonstrated the ability to over-allocate, especially after the rebellion last month, Li Zhu is to show the world her cold-blooded side of the iron, now in the hundreds of thousands of people in the construction site, she is the queen of the general existence.

　　For these changes in Li Jiu, Li Chengqian, who has been paying attention to her, is very satisfied with this, and at the same time, Li Chengqian has also found Li Jiu many times to talk to her to ease the hardship and confusion in her heart, so that she does not go askew.

　　During this period, Li Chengqian also asked Li Jiu if she regretted her arrangement!

　　Li Jiu’s answer is even more surprised Li Chengqian, her words let Li Chengqian once felt that in the history he knew in his previous life, the empress who was praised and criticized by people, if she could be called the emperor earlier, maybe the equality of men and women that appeared in the world after a thousand years would form an early sprout in her hands.

　　”I don’t regret, on the contrary, I also want to thank you, it is you who gave me such an opportunity, an opportunity to prove to the world that as long as there is a chance, what men can do, women can also do, now I’m heading towards this road, one day I will build a world that you said, a world where men and women are equal, even if this place is in the distant overseas, but I will definitely go to realize it! ”

　　So from the time Li Jiu said this, Li Chengqian’s teaching of her that is even more relentless, he wanted to see in a country where there is no resistance, completely by Li Jiu’s say so, how far she can go, and such a country where both men and women have a channel of upward mobility both can be an official and what kind of change will bring to the world, all of which Li Chengqian is looking forward to.

　　At this moment, however, a moment that will be remembered for generations to come is taking place.

　　This side of Zhe Bei saw Li Jiu in the tour of the construction site, he wanted to go over, but just as he waited for Li Jiu in a little closer, a teenage Turkic woman violently put down the tools in his hands, in the supervisor has not reacted to the time, ran to Li Jiu in front of him.

　　For suddenly rushing out this woman, it made the secret guards who were with him to protect Li Zhu startled, they drew their weapons, just like rushing up to finish her off.

　　”Stop, she shouldn’t be malicious, let her come over” Just when the dark guards were ready to make a move, Li Zhu stared at this Turkic woman who was already surrounded and loudly told the dark guards to stop.

　　”What’s the matter with you running over here instead of going to work!” Li Jiu asked as she looked at the Turkic woman who was escorted by the dark guards and brought to Li Jiu.

　　”Dear Heavenly Maiden, my name is Miyada, I want to serve you and become the sword in your hand” Miyada heard Li Jiu’s question and spoke to Li Jiu in her stumbling Chinese which she just learned in these few months.

　　Hearing Miyada’s words, Li Jiu obviously froze for a moment, in her thought even if there are let want to be loyal to themselves, will also be some male Turkic people, but the first kneeling in front of himself is indeed a woman, this moment Li Jiu came to the interest, in her opinion, as long as this Miyada show a little bit of redeeming qualities, she will accept this looks pretty good and a little bit of strong Turkic women.

　　”You want to become a sword in the hands of this palace, that depends on whether you have the ability, but this palace is very curious, why would you choose this palace, with your looks, you should be more likely to look for a man, so that you can not only leave this place, there is also the possibility that you will become a citizen of the Great Tang” Li Jiu looked at Miyadah with interest and asked.
