Among so many people in this world, there is only one person like him. She can indulge him and forgive him.

She took a step back, and the redness and swelling on her cheeks seemed to disappear, and she felt much more comfortable than before.

She stared at the mask, her eyes showing two emotions. One was as if she was looking at Huai Jin, passionate, gentle, and full of love.

One emotion is as cold as ice. Looking at Shuo Fengyue, the girl's tone was disrespectful, as if she was treating him as a plaything, and she said jokingly and coldly:

"Shuo Fengyue, stay by my side and learn the words and deeds of King Liang. I want you to become exactly like King Liang and be a perfect substitute."

When Shuo Fengyue heard this, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad. The nine-foot-tall man lowered his head and shook his head helplessly.

He watched as the plaster gradually melted and seeped into his skin.

Holding the white jade bottle in his hand, he twisted it a little more with his fingers and gently stroked her cheek. His fingertips trembled slightly as he stroked her cheek, and he said in a choked voice:

"I will learn everything about King Liang and serve as his substitute."

Mu Jinan pushed his hand away, turned and left, jumped onto the horse, and held back her tears. Would this count as betraying Huai Jin?

She just wanted him to stay by her side. She never thought losing him would be so painful. She disappeared into the grassland.

Shuo Fengyue stood there, clenching the medicine bottle in her hand, her eyelashes wet and staining her eyelids, muttering:

"A substitute? Who in this world is willing to be a substitute for someone else?"

...

Mu Jinan was riding his iron-hoofed horse and wanted to return to the king's tent. Wasn't he going in this direction just now?

She had already circled the spot twice, but still hadn't found the king's tent.

Seeing that the winding river seemed different from when she came, she rode up the hillside, wanting to stand higher and see the direction of the king's tent clearly.

On the other side of the hill, there was a forest in the distance, with white trunks and golden leaves.

There were hundreds of people in the woods. Among them, one of them was wearing clothes that were not the usual clothes from the grassland. Xiao Yan was standing next to that person.

She whispered to herself:

"Isn't the clothing that person is wearing a round-collared robe from the Central Plains?"

"Why can't we discuss this in the king's tent? Why are you hiding here? Could it be Li Heng?"

She slowly dismounted, led the horse to a few wooden stakes, tied the horse up, and went around to the woods from a hidden place.

She jumped up with light steps, and lay on a distant branch. She pricked up her ears and listened carefully. It was blurry, so she moved closer and could occasionally hear a few words:

"No, our king has decided to kill her as a sacrifice, and we cannot hand her over to you."

"I will ask Shi Siming to open the city gates, and you just need to capture Youzhou. Compared with a woman and a few cities, which one is more important?"

Mu Jinan thought to himself: "As expected, they want to kill me."

"This voice is similar to Li Heng..."

The branch was a bit thin and brittle. She accidentally stepped on it and broke it, and there was a sound of the branch breaking and falling to the ground.

"Snapped"

There was not a single bird in the woods.

Several people were alert and said sternly:

"Who is it?"

"come out"

Xiao Yan signaled hundreds of people nearby to put arrows on their bows and draw their bows. He gestured with his right hand and gave the order. Hundreds of arrows shot like rain from behind.

Mu Jinan covered his mouth, hid behind a tree trunk, hunched his arms, held his breath, and dared not move.

The grassland people's archery skills are all very good. Looking at the arrows shot, they are all weapon arrows. The arrowheads and arrow bodies are all made of copper, which can penetrate armor. She didn't even bring a long sword to resist.

Xiao Yan was still suspicious and walked slowly forward. The whole forest was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

He raised his right hand slightly and gestured downward, and hundreds of arrows shot towards the tree trunks again.

Suddenly, the arrow pierced through the tree trunk and pierced Mu Jinan's shoulder. She bit her lips in pain, covered her mouth tightly, and dared not make a sound.

Xiao Yan picked up the bow and arrow. His archery skills were the best in the grassland. He stared at the thickest tree trunk with a sharp gaze, and a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He thought to himself with great satisfaction: "It would be even better if I could kill her quietly here."

He nocked an arrow and drew his bow.

The arrow seemed to carry thousands of icy pieces of ice as it pierced through the tree. Mu Jinan leaned down slightly to avoid the arrow.

Xiao Yan nocked another arrow and walked to the right. He vaguely saw the edge of her scarlet dress fluttering in the wind. His eyes were violent and bloodthirsty, and he sneered:

"It's really her"

He released his bow and said loudly: "?????? ????????????? ???????? Archers ready!"

Hundreds of people moved slowly from the rear, aiming their arrows at the back of the tree.

Mu Jinan watched as hundreds of people moved and stood behind a tree not far from her, facing her.

It was really a meticulous training. Everyone was able to move quickly and hide perfectly behind the tree trunks without any overlap. The formation was neat and well-staggered.

In this way, if the prey wants to escape, we can target every part of its body from all directions, at every position, and at both near and far distances.

She was surrounded, with no escape.

Xiao Yan came in front of her, pointed his bow and arrow at her, and when he raised his eyes, it seemed as if a flame burned through people's hearts, and he said with a smile:

"Who are you?"

Seeing that she was asking questions even though she knew the answer, Mu Jinan clearly wanted to silence her and destroy the body, so he just said that she was attacked by a pack of wolves and disappeared.

She endured the pain in her shoulder and said: "Even if you kill me, you will not be able to escape the fate of being suppressed."

"At this moment, the Central Plains will not be unified by you, don't dream on."

A familiar voice came from behind. He laughed up to the sky and said sinisterly:

"Really? If I were here, unifying the country wouldn't be a problem."

Li Heng walked up slowly and looked up at her hiding on the tree trunk, his dark pupils glowing coldly:

"Mu Jinan, long time no see"

Mu Jinan looked down at him, sizing him up and down. He was still the same despicable person as before, colluding with treason and jumping up and down.

She looked at the hundreds of arrows pointed at her, clenched her fists, and sneered:

"Li Heng, you really are a mother to whoever gives you milk. You call me daddy today, you will have a good time tomorrow, and you will bow down to me the day after tomorrow."

"The prostitutes in the brothels are more courageous than you."

"If I didn't know, I would have thought that you had climbed onto King Xi's or Xiao Yan's bed here."

"Dare to dig gold mines and please Emperor Su"

Li Heng bit his lips in anger. The eyes of the people around him flickered. Some people could understand Chinese. A smile appeared on Xiao Yan's lips. He also looked down on Li Heng.

On the contrary, he felt that the princess was much stronger than the man Li Heng, who was fickle between the various tribes and was only forced to form an alliance with him due to the situation.

But the princess, he must kill!

Li Heng took the bow and arrow from Xiao Yan's hand and pointed it at Mu Jinan with a grim look, then put the arrow on the bow and pulled the bow.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan knelt down, his leg pierced by an arrow, and he screamed in pain:

“Ah…Ah…”

Hundreds of archers stared at Mu Jinan and were not affected by Xiao Yan's shouting. It was like a general had died in battle and the soldiers should not panic. They were in order, guarding their respective lines of defense and aiming at the target.

Mu Jinan pursed his lips slightly, his forehead was covered with sweat, he curled up against the tree, his starry eyes turned slightly, waiting for an opportunity.

Suddenly, another arrow shot from somewhere and pierced Xiao Yan's right arm. He held back his tears and shouted:

“Ah…Ah…”

The other arrow hiding in the dark shot through Xiao Yan's left arm, piercing his left arm. The corners of his lips quickly turned black and he spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood.

“This arrow is poisonous”

He knelt on the ground, holding his arms, blood staining the golden leaves, and shouted:

"Archers, shoot this woman immediately."
