"Yes!"

Accompanied by the sound of crisp horse hooves, a woman in red rode her horse towards them from behind the square formation.

The woman had a nimble figure and she gently pulled the reins, and the horse stopped accurately beside Sima Yao.

The woman in red first turned her head to look at Sima Yao, then turned to look at Batu.

"General Batu, I never thought I would see you again one day."

Batu looked carefully, with a puzzled look on his face, and looked up and down at the woman in red, gradually moving his gaze to the woman's wrist. Suddenly, the puzzlement on his face turned into surprise.

"You are...the little princess?"

The woman in red sat proudly on the horse, seemingly not taking Batu seriously.

"My grandfather has always told me that General Batu was a brave and invincible man, and a blessing to Qiangyi. But I never expected that you would become a person who betrayed your motherland for money. I look down on you."

"Iron-hatted King, how is he?" Batu was extremely nervous. It was obvious that the little princess's grandfather was extremely important to him.

"Grandpa is old. When he heard that the Three Kingdoms coalition had captured Shazhou, he was furious and announced the funeral a few days ago..."

Batu looked shocked.

After a few seconds, he stepped off his horse, and regardless of the crowds of people around him, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in the direction of Qiangyi.

"It's Batu, it's Batu, that's not right..."

The two armies were facing each other and the situation was tense, but the arrival of this woman suddenly changed the atmosphere.

This naturally attracted discussion from people around.

"Is this woman the princess of Qiangyi? How can a woman come directly to the battlefield?"

"The people of Qiangyi are tough and the women do not follow the rules."

"No wonder, grandpa just passed away, she wore red clothes, this is not in accordance with etiquette..."

"You don't understand. The rules and regulations of Qiangyi are very different from those of Dasheng. There is no custom of wearing mourning clothes when a family member passes away."

"This Batu seems to be very afraid of this woman..."

Gu Nianzhi thought carefully, could it be that this woman in red was the princess that Qiangyi was originally going to send to Dasheng for marriage?

The original book wrote that Princess Qiangyi would wear a gold hand bell on her hand, which was connected to the gold bracelet on her wrist. The higher her status in the heart of the King of Qiangyi, the more exquisite and complicated the bracelet and hand bell would be.

It would be great if I could stand in front of the line. If I could see the woman's hand, I would have a rough idea of ​​her identity.

Although the customs of Qiang people were very different from those of Da Sheng, the hierarchy of legitimate and illegitimate children was something that all rulers of the country valued.

"Get up, Batu."

The red-dressed lady spoke as if she was ordering her own servant around.

Batu, who was originally so majestic, became as docile as a cat.

Batu stood up, his eyes full of cowardice.

The woman turned around and said loudly to the team where Gu Nianzhi was, "Dear soldiers, I am Princess Ulan Ya of Qiangyi. Thank you for traveling a long way to Qiangyi and fighting for us. I may be weak in martial arts, but I am not afraid of life and death. Today, if you want to fight, I will fight shoulder to shoulder with you!"

The war drum was struck at the right time.

Everyone's emotions were ignited.

Ulan Ya, dressed in red, is like a flame, igniting the fire in everyone's heart.

"Batu, mount your horse and fight!"

Ulan Yawu rode his horse and rushed towards Batu.

Everything happened in a flash.

The soldiers behind Batu were in combat stance, but Batu signaled everyone to retreat.

The soldiers retreated in unison, leaving only Batu in front.

Ulan Ya stabbed Batu with the spear in his hand without hesitation.

The spear-wielding action was very unfamiliar. In front of the battle-hardened Batu, such an action was simply seeking death.

Seeing this, Sima Yao rushed over without hesitation, ready to use the spear in his hand to buy Ulan Ya a glimmer of hope.

But Batu just gently pushed away Ulanya's spear and did not launch any attack on her.

Seeing that Ulan Ya's life was safe, Sima Yao put away his spear and stood not far away, looking at the two people in front of him.

Ulan Ya stood in front of Batu without any fear.

The distance between the two people was only one meter.

"Batu, since you are willing to betray even the Qiangyi Kingdom, why should you care about the friendship between you and my grandfather? I came here to seek death today, why don't you do it?"

"Little princess, this is a battlefield, stop messing around!"

"Nonsense?" Ulan Ya was displeased and stared at Batu fiercely. "Let me ask you, if it was my grandfather who came here today instead of me, do you think he would have allowed you to do such a foolish thing?"

Batu lowered his head with some guilt.

But after a moment, he looked up at Ulan Ya again.

"Little Princess, today's Qiangyi is no longer the Qiangyi that it was when the Iron Hat King was here. I respect the Iron Hat King, but I hate your father very much. He is not worthy!"

"Whether I am worthy or not, how can you decide? Anyway, you either step over my dead body or get back to the border and never set foot in Qiang City again!"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Batu bowed and made his position clear.

"Can you bear to use your spear to kill your compatriots?" Ulan Ya's face flushed and she was very emotional.

"When they hurt me, did they ever think that I am also from Qiangyi? Little princess, please don't say anything. I gave in to you many times today not because I was afraid of you, but because the Iron Hat King was very kind to me. You are his most beloved little princess. Whether he is dead or not, I must treat you like this."

Although Batu's voice was loud, his tone was still gentle. Gradually, he raised his voice and his tone became harsher.

"However, I cannot give in endlessly. The war between countries cannot be stopped by me alone because of my gratitude to the Iron Hat King. Let's temporarily cease fire today. This is the last dignity I can leave for Qiangyi. I hope the little princess will forgive me!"

"My grandfather would be very sad if he saw you like this."

"Batu can't take care of all this. Goodbye!"

Batu turned around and with a gesture, the team, which was originally on the verge of a fight, suddenly stopped fighting and retreated in an orderly manner.

Ulan Ya stayed where she was, watching Batu leaving from afar.

"You know, if it weren't for my grandfather, Batu would have died when he was still a baby. But now, he is going to attack my father."

These words sounded like he was talking to himself, but also like he was speaking to Sima Yao who was not far away.

Sima Yao didn't have much experience getting along with girls, but he could empathize with Ulan Ya's pain.

Where power is most concentrated, there will always be struggle.

For power, people will abandon family, friendship, and love. As long as they can get the most power, they can abandon everything...
