As for why they fled here, it is said that the famine isolated the royal domain of the Great Wilderness, and these surrounding tribes reliant on the Royal Court were forced to migrate eastward.
During the migration, this Young Master became separated from the tribe, and after much wandering, somehow ended up here.
Dan Zhu is a very good listener.
This Young Master Gongtu, having been repressed for so long, upon meeting Dan Zhu, a noble of the "same rank," felt naturally inclined to talk freely.
As they chatted, a servant brought some dishes to the table.
These dishes, though simply cooked, are quite rare during these famine years.
Young Master Gongtu stopped talking to Dan Zhu, turned to the woman beside him, gently said:
"You've suffered on this journey, have something to eat."
The woman nodded her head and removed her veil, revealing a surprisingly fair and beautiful face, particularly captivating in this desert setting.
