Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: The Concubine Goes to War

Chapter 24 The Emperor's Secret Visit to Find Yunxi

Last time, the emperor was very concerned about Yunxi and tried his best to get her back to the palace. However, Yunxi was concerned about the safety of the country and the people, so she decided to go to the border. Faced with such a situation, the emperor had no choice but to watch Yunxi leave silently.

Since Yunxi left, the emperor's mood has become increasingly heavy. He missed Yunxi day and night, lost his appetite, and became much thinner. Finally, unable to suppress his inner longing, the emperor decided to go on a private visit and personally go to the border town to look for Yunxi.

Along the way, the emperor was very careful, fearing that his identity would be discovered. He disguised himself as an ordinary businessman, took a few trusted followers, and embarked on a long and arduous journey.

After several days of traveling, they finally arrived at Jiannandao, an important border town. This is an important line of defense against foreign enemies, with towering walls and soldiers on high alert. The emperor asked around for Yunxi's whereabouts, but did not get any definite news.

The emperor ordered to find a safe place in the city, and then began to secretly investigate Yunxi's whereabouts. He visited local officials and people, hoping to find some clues. However, everyone seemed to know very little about Yunxi's whereabouts, which made the emperor very confused.

Just when the emperor was at a loss, an unexpected clue appeared. One day, he overheard a conversation between two locals in a tavern in the town. One of them mentioned Yunxi's name and said that because of her excellent medical skills, she was captured by the mountain stronghold king to treat the illness of his wife.

The emperor was delighted and immediately led his entourage to the mountain stronghold. The stronghold was located at the foot of the mountain, with a dangerous terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The emperor and others approached the stronghold cautiously, but found that it had been occupied by a group of bandits.

The emperor decided to observe the situation first before making any plans. They hid in the dark, closely watching the movements in the mountain stronghold. Soon, they saw a familiar figure - Yunxi! She was talking to the bandit leader, looking calm.

The emperor was excited, but he did not dare to act rashly, fearing that Yunxi's safety would be endangered. He decided to wait for the right time to rescue Yunxi.

In this way, the emperor and his followers hid near the mountain stronghold for several days. During this period, they found that this group of bandits were not ordinary bandits, but a group of well-organized and well-trained teams. They seemed to be planning a big conspiracy.

The emperor knew that this matter was serious. If it was allowed to develop, it would pose a great threat to the entire country. After careful consideration, he resolutely decided to go to the mountain stronghold to find out the truth and discuss the plan with Yunxi. When night fell, the emperor and his personal attendants disguised themselves and headed towards the mountain stronghold quietly. With their keen insight and agility, they cleverly avoided the eyes and ears of the strict guards and finally successfully sneaked into the mountain stronghold.

In one of the simple rooms, the emperor finally found Yunxi. At this moment, Yunxi was wearing simple clothes and was deep in thought. When she looked up and saw the man in civilian clothes, she was dumbfounded and almost couldn't close her mouth. Seeing this, the emperor quickly explained to her the purpose of his trip.

Yunxi couldn't believe what the emperor said. She never dreamed that the king of a country would risk his life and know the bandits' shocking conspiracy. After she came to her senses, she said firmly: "We must find a way to stop these evil bandits!"

The emperor nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "But we need more intelligence to delve deeper into their plans and specific deployments."

Yunxi thought for a moment and responded, "I can use my identity as a caretaker of the village lady as a cover to quietly gather intelligence in the dark."

In the following days, Yunxi skillfully gained the trust of the bandits through daily conversations with them. At the same time, she quietly collected crucial information.

God helps those who work hard. Finally, by chance, Yunxi accidentally discovered the bandits' hidden secret plan. What is shocking is that this group of bandits actually tried to collude with foreign enemies to conquer the border.

Yunxi knew that this matter was of great importance and could not be delayed, so she immediately informed the emperor of this important information. The emperor was shocked when he heard it, and he instantly realized that the current situation was very serious.

"We must immediately set off back to the capital, quickly mobilize a large number of troops, be on high alert, and be ready to deal with this imminent crisis at any time." The emperor gave the order decisively and acted promptly.

Yunxi agreed, "I will stay here and continue to monitor the bandits' movements to buy you some time." "Yunxi, I order you to be careful and take good care of yourself." The emperor said reluctantly.

Then, the emperor and his entourage set out on the road back to Beijing in a panic. They rode as fast as they could, not daring to delay for even a moment, because they knew that what awaited them ahead would be a huge test that would determine the survival of the country.

In this precarious time, they shoulder the expectations and safety of the entire country. Everyone knows that if they fail to successfully protect the peace and stability of the country, then everything they cherish will come to nothing.

The emperor hurried back to the capital in a panic, and without taking a rest, he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss. His face was solemn, his eyes were firm, and he was determined to mobilize all available troops to support Yunxi.

In the court, the emperor ordered loudly: "Han Xuan, listen to my order! I order you to lead the army and rush to the border of Jiannan Road to join Yunxi to wipe out the bandits!" Han Xuan immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order. He stood tall and his expression was firm and anxious. He knew that this was a heavy responsibility, and for the country and the people, and even more for Yunxi, he had no hesitation.

Then, he led the elite soldiers on the journey. The soldiers were dressed in iron armor, holding spears, marching in step, and in high spirits. With loyalty to the country and a desire for victory in their hearts, they quickly rushed to the border of Jiannan Road. The dust on the road seemed to be a witness to their determination. The emperor stood on the city wall, watching the army led by Han Xuan go farther and farther. His heart was full of expectations and anxiety, hoping that they could reach the border where Yunxi was as soon as possible to resolve the crisis there.

Han Xuan led his troops and horses to rush to Jiannan Road. Their team was like a long dragon, crossing the vast grassland and rugged mountain roads, and the sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky.

After arriving at the border, Han Xuan did not have time to rest, and quickly ordered the soldiers to set up camp. The campfire was burning vigorously, and the soldiers were busy setting up tents, a busy and orderly scene.

As night fell, Han Xuan changed into black clothes and quietly left the camp. His figure was like a ghost, shuttling between the mountains and forests under the moonlight. With his agility and superb camouflage skills, he successfully sneaked into the enemy's stronghold.

Deep in the mountain village, Han Xuan and Yunxi successfully met up.

When Yunxi saw Han Xuan's familiar figure, she couldn't believe it.

Yunxi's eyes were full of surprise, and her originally anxious face was instantly replaced by joy. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but for a moment she was speechless.

Han Xuan walked up to Yunxi, his eyes revealing endless concern. He gently embraced Yunxi in his arms, as if telling her that everything was over.

Yunxi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She looked up at Han Xuan, tears in her eyes, and finally said what she had always wanted to say: "You're here..."

At this moment, the depths of the village seemed to be surrounded by a warm atmosphere. The encounter between Han Xuan and Yun Xi filled each other's hearts with hope and strength. They will join hands to face the challenges of the future and write their own stories together.

Han Xuan and Yun Xi began to discuss strategies and prepare to give the enemy a fatal blow. They carefully studied the layout of the mountain stronghold and the enemy's weaknesses and decided to launch a surprise attack at night.

That night, under the dark moon and strong wind, Han Xuan led a team of elite soldiers to quietly approach the mountain stronghold. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they shuttled through the mountains and forests like ghosts. Yunxi created chaos in the mountain stronghold to distract the enemy's attention.

The battle was about to break out, and Han Xuan rushed into the enemy camp like a tiger descending from a mountain. He held an extremely sharp sword, the blade flashing with cold light, and every swing brought a splash of blood. Han Xuan's bravery frightened the enemy, but he was not afraid, and bravely moved forward, constantly killing one enemy after another.

The soldiers behind him were inspired by Han Xuan and followed closely. They started a thrilling hand-to-hand fight with the enemy. The whole mountain stronghold was filled with thick smoke and flames, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky, as if to tear the world apart.

In the fierce battle, Han Xuan showed extraordinary martial arts and fearless courage. His figure shuttled between the enemy camps like a ghost, and each sword hit the enemy's vital points accurately. Finally, under Han Xuan's fierce attack, the bandit leader fell in a pool of blood. The enemies who lost their leader immediately fell into chaos and began to flee.

The battle ended with the victory of Han Xuan's side, and the originally turbulent border town returned to its former tranquility.

People cheered and celebrated the hard-won peace. However, among the celebrating crowd, there was one person missing - Yunxi. She disappeared mysteriously in the battle, and no one knew where she went, nor was there any clue to trace her. Han Xuan was extremely worried, and he searched everywhere for Yunxi's whereabouts, but he found nothing.

Yunxi took advantage of the night and quietly blended into the moonlight. She walked lightly, as if she was afraid of waking up everything around her. Her eyes were firm, but also mixed with a hint of helplessness. She knew that being with Han Xuan might cause a conflict between him and Zhaxi, and even affect the friendly relations between the Tang Dynasty and Goryeo. She couldn't let her personal emotions affect the interests of the country.

She looked back, and that was the direction where Han Xuan was. Although she was very reluctant, she knew that it was for the sake of the overall situation. Yunxi bit her lip, turned around resolutely, and disappeared at the end of the darkness, burying her deep affection in her heart. Her departure was like a breeze, leaving no trace, but a faint sadness filled the air.

Yunxi stood quietly in the wilderness, staring into the distance, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew she had to leave. Suddenly, two familiar figures appeared in her sight, they were the Turkic prince and his maid Xiaowan. Xiaowan shouted at her in surprise: "Sister Yunxi, I finally found you." Although she was a maid, Yunxi always treated her as a sister. They were like sisters, so after leaving the general's mansion, Yunxi asked her to call her sister.

The tall and mighty prince, with a determined and eager look in his eyes, walked towards Yunxi, his steps were steady and powerful. He stared at Yunxi, his eyes flashing, as if the answer he had been looking for was in her. Yunxi felt a strong attraction, and she couldn't help being attracted by the temperament of the prince.

The eldest prince said, "Yunxi, I finally found you." His voice was low and magnetic, with deep emotion. Yunxi looked at him in surprise, with a complex emotion in her heart. She didn't know why the eldest prince was looking for her, but she could feel his sincerity and enthusiasm.

The eldest prince continued, "I have been looking for you because you are the only one in my heart. Your beauty and wisdom fascinate me, and I long to create a beautiful future with you." Yunxi listened to the eldest prince's words, and the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated. She felt his sincerity and kindness, and perhaps this was a new starting point for her destiny.

Yunxi smiled, her eyes revealing a kind of tenderness and trust. She said to the eldest prince and Xiaowan: "Maybe, this is God's arrangement." The eldest prince smiled, and he held Yunxi's hand tightly, as if he had grasped the most precious thing in his life.

Their eyes met, and their hearts seemed to be connected at this moment. The road ahead is still long, but they are willing to go on together, explore the unknown world, and create their own stories.

Yunxi's meeting with the Turkic prince will start a journey full of challenges and opportunities, and Xiaowan's fate will be closely tied to Yunxi.

On a sunny day, the eldest prince, with a sincere smile, extended a warm invitation to Yunxi and the others: "Please come to visit our Turkic!" His eyes revealed his respect and expectations for them, and his tone was sincere and firm.

Yunxi and the others were very surprised. The invitation from the eldest prince made them feel his friendliness and kindness. They looked at each other, their eyes flashing with anticipation and curiosity about this trip to the Turks.

The invitation from the eldest prince reminded Yunxi of the local customs and unique charm she had seen during her previous mission to Turkestan, and made Yunxi and her friends yearn for this mysterious place.
