Before she could finish, the young man pinned the hairpin in her hair with unfamiliar hands. The sky was gloomy, and the pearl on the hairpin was as bright as the moon in the starry sky:

"Qiqige, you look so beautiful in this hairpin"

The girl's shy and bright smile caught his eye. It was hard for her to meet such a gentle and kind man: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Gu Wenxuan recalled what the princess had told him about Qiqige's redemption, and said bluntly:

"Qiqige, how much money do you need to redeem yourself? I'll give it to you."

Qiqige touched the pearl hairpin on her bun, pulled it off and held it in her hand, laughing heartily and shaking her head:

"I can earn the money to redeem myself, Master Gu, I'm going back to make some wine first."

Gu Wenxuan stood quietly in the snow, watching her disappearing figure. What if he left and she didn't want to go to Chang'an? He headed towards the military camp.

It was a quiet night. Inside a tent, several people were blindfolded and their ears and mouths were blocked.

The young man's tall body loomed over their heads. Even with their eyes blindfolded, they could still feel the murderous invisible oppression, like a huge rock smashing through their hearts, suffocating them to death.

Li Huaijin's eyes were cold, he lowered his eyes, afterimage, Luosheng, Mohe and others took those people away, Yun Chi came forward and presented the secret letter to Li Huaijin.

"Fanyang Lu family..."

The assassin Han Lin reported: "Your Majesty, Shi Zhaoyang will arrive tomorrow."

Li Huaijin thought that Mu Yun summoned Shi Zhaoyang not to rescue Shi Si, but for other purposes: "Keep an eye on Mu Yun and have her come to see me at night."

Han Lin: "Yes, Your Majesty"

Inside the Xi King's tent, there were the bell-like laughter of the young girl and the deep and rough laughter of the man. The air was filled with the smell of alcohol. Mu Yun was wearing a dazzling red dress and had beautiful eyebrows. Ge Jiang tasted the mare's milk wine:

"I don't know who brewed this wine, but the mellow aroma lingers in my mouth."

Li Yuanyang was now worried that the Qi Wang Li Jie would turn against him, so he filled his glass with wine, hoping to win over Ge Jiang:

"She is a slave girl. She brews the best wine on the grassland."

Hearing this, Ge Jiang became interested: "Why not give her to me, bring her back to our Yuhe tribe, and make wine for me?"

Li Yuanyang calculated with his eyes that he was going to feed Qiqige to the wolves, but she survived and became his helper today. He did not hesitate:

"Okay, I'll give Qiqige to you."

He ordered Batu Yue: "Go and bring her here." Batu Yue: "Yes."

Mu Yun caught a glimpse of Li Yuanyang's expression, and a hint of unknown emotion flashed across her eyes:

"Prince, the warriors of the Yuhe tribe are invincible and have a strong military force. You are the king of the grassland. Will you willingly submit to them and be inferior to them?"

Ge Jiang got what he wanted and tortured Li Heng for a day and a night. Li Heng was bleeding and exhausted. He was unable to get out of bed and had to rest in the tent. He had to thank Mu Yun for all this.

Ge Jiang and her sister Xianli are from the same mother. She became the concubine of Emperor Su. Her father was a man of violent temper, strong body, and longevity. Recently, he had a child.

In the clan, many ministers only obeyed their father's orders. The forces he carefully supported were eliminated by his father. The father and son were suspicious of each other. He also had a younger brother. In the long run, he was afraid that he would not be able to inherit the throne.

"This king is willing, but he has no power."

Li Yuanyang winked at Mu Yun. It would be wrong for her to say this, as it should be regarded as a woman's words.

Mu Yun stared at Ge Jiang with sharp eyes, and smiled evilly:

"How can a king care about the relationship between father and son? How many emperors in the history of the Central Plains have killed their fathers and brothers? Who dares to criticize them?"

Ge Jiang's eyes suddenly darkened. This woman sent her husband to him and left all kinds of "torture instruments" that he had never seen before in the tent, with notes on their usage.

She also left a secret medicine, which made him more virile and he had never enjoyed it so much before. Now he always looks forward to being with Li Heng every day. She is really a vicious and scheming woman, but how could she openly say that she wanted her father to die of illness?

"Princess Rui, I am a filial and loyal prince, please do not speak nonsense."

Mu Yun stood up and walked towards him, pouring more wine for him. She looked into his eyes, which were full of turbulent waves and tenderness:

"Prince, a cup of poisoned wine, I will kill you without any effort."

Ge Jiang glanced at her and said with a smile: "You? A weak woman"

Mu Yun stood up, turned her head, and glanced down at him. Ge Jiang was sitting, and saw that half of her face was gloomy. A heavy sense of oppression surrounded him. The girl's eyes were terrifying:

"Countless men have died at the hands of women"

Li Yuanyang's heart stagnated, and he suddenly remembered what Mu Jinan said that day: to kill the emperor, one does not need thousands of troops. For the first time, he looked squarely at this decadent, dissolute and unrestrained woman.

Ge Jiang's face turned pale: "You are still Princess Rui, you can't go to Yuhe"

When Mu Yun heard that he had agreed, she looked calm, waved her sleeves, and sat down in front of the desk: "The higher you are, the more enemies you will have. I have already made arrangements."

When Li Heng was killed, the palace was burned down and all the gold fell into Mu Yun's hands. She set out from Chang'an, first went to Yuhe, where she was generous, and then went to the Qingque tribe, where she told Li Yuanyang to keep his mouth shut.

Ge Jiang knew that Li Heng was a scheming man, and that he was only inferior to her in strength. She was smart enough to make Li Heng lose the upper hand.

"This king thanks Princess Rui."

Li Yuanyang was overjoyed. With the Yuhe tribe, Li Jie was nothing to fear: "Thank you, Prince. From today on, we are allies."

Ge Jiang glanced at Mu Yun and raised his glass: "Open up new territories for our people and abolish customs documents. We will also go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the majestic city walls and pick white apples on the waterside."

Several people were laughing and talking, the fire was red with stars and purple smoke, Qiqige was brought into the king's tent, Ge Jiang looked up and saw the beautiful girl, but her hands were shaking.

The blue silk shoes looked out of place with her old clothes, and she still smelled of kumis.

"The wine is good, follow me back to Yuhe"

His voice was extremely penetrating, and the powerful contempt of a king in it made her tremble. She looked at him wearing luxurious clothes and a golden crown on his head, and guessed in her heart that he was Yuzuru's prince.

How could she leave this place? Her father was getting weaker and weaker, and there was also Master Gu. She immediately knelt down and said:

"King, I don't want to go to Yuhe. I want to stay here to take care of my mother. Please have mercy on me."

Ge Jiang's face turned pale. He had never heard a slave say the word "don't want to". He stood up, walked towards her, and picked her up.

He was tall and mighty, while Qiqige worked day and night and was delicate, like a tiger trying to catch a bird.

"I'll say it again, you don't want to go"

Qiqige's bright and beautiful eyes were dripping with pearls, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye. Her clothes were made of coarse cloth and she had worn them for a long time. When he lifted them like this, the clothes made a "rustling" sound and the cloth in front of her body split.

Ge Jiang looked at the pearl hairpin hidden in her clothes. It was a Central Plains ornament, precious and rare. He immediately understood:

"King Xi, it seems there is a spy among your clan"

Li Yuanyang looked unhappy as he looked at the pearl hairpin. He stood in front of Qiqige and pinched her neck tightly: "Who gave it to you?"

Qiqige shook her head. She had never been so frightened before. Tears kept falling, but she dared not cry out loud.

"I found it, my king. I will never betray you."

Li Yuanyang sneered. Ever since Mu Jinan came here, his slaves have also learned from her to disobey, plot, and collude. Evil appeared in his eyes:

"Go and call the princess to come and enjoy the flowers in the snow. If she doesn't come, I will kill Qiqige."

Batu Yue: "Yes, King"
