Li Yuanyang then learned that his father died young and his mother became a nun. He raised many orphans on his own when he was young. He has a loyal and invincible Shiyan Army, which can eliminate the treacherous officials who are deeply rooted in the court and control the government. He is gifted with supernatural powers and has practiced diligently for many years.

Without the accumulation of small steps, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; without the accumulation of small streams, a river or sea is formed. Now, the rivers and seas obey his commands and it seems that they can drown traitors and human traffickers like him without any effort.

Among the hundreds of princes and grandchildren, no one noticed Li Huaijin. If he had lived to this day, he would have been able to seize the throne!

Li Yuanyang looked at the young man and girl walking towards him, as if he saw thousands of dead souls of the Yanshi Army behind him rushing towards him, wanting to take his life.

Li Yuanyang's armor and clothes were constantly stained with blood from the grass. He could not tell whether it was the blood of the grassland or the blood of the Central Plains people. He also saw thousands of people standing behind the young boys and girls, holding "sharp sticks". Many of the slaves who had just been redeemed and liberated were born slaves and could be sacrificed and buried with the dead at any time, protecting the young boys and girls.

Young boys and girls protect the people, and the people protect young boys and girls!

Li Yuanyang came to his senses. He still had one person, but he was the real king of the grassland, with enough troops to threaten the Central Plains. He looked at the tent in the distance:

"As long as Yuhe Gejiang is here, it won't be long before I make a comeback."

Li Huaijin pointed over there. Dozens of tall and mighty warriors were walking towards them. These faces had never been seen before. The leader had appeared at the banquet at Shengguo Queyue Tower. He smiled and said:

"Thank you, King Liang. I will take the prince back to Yuhe. The Khan is grateful for King Liang's life-saving grace and is willing to form an alliance with the prince. Farewell."

This man was the one who challenged Sheng Kingdom with fifty warriors that day, Yuhe's envoy Ciye. Ge Jiang saw that the warriors who tied him were all his father's strongest warriors, and he knew that Mu Yun's assassination plan had been exposed.

Ge Jiang felt that he could not escape this time. His father had many grievances with him and was afraid. He had many brothers, and the Khan was strong and would always have children. He could not help but shake his head and fell into the calculations of these people.

After Mu Jinan was slapped by Shi Si, Li Huaijin ordered:

"Xianyu, Quanshan, Mingshui, Hanlin, keep a close eye on Li Jie, Shi Si, Li Heng, and Mu Yun. Find out the news every day and send it to the princess's tent at night. If anyone escapes, go and accompany them."

Han Lin often inquired about Mu Yun's plan and sent it to Li Huaijin. Li Huaijin arranged for assassins to go to Yuhe. They appeared in time when Renran Khan was assassinated. He tortured the assassin and learned that it was Mu Yun who ordered it.

A letter from Li Yuanyang was also found in Ge Jiang's tent, and the Khan learned that Mu Yun was in the Xique tribe. Ge Jiang conspired with them to usurp the throne and formed an alliance to attack the Central Plains. The Khan was furious and sent warriors to take Ge Jiang away, expressing his willingness to form an alliance with Li Huaijin.

Watching them leave, Li Yuanyang stood there in a daze, his heart pounding, his face pale with fear, two of the three souls had already flown away, offending three clans! Create a more powerful enemy!

If he offended Yuhe Khan, that man was a man of his word and had a strong military force, he would be more frightened than offending the emperor of the Central Plains. If he was not careful, he would be guilty of extermination of his entire clan.

These two actually included Yuhe in the plan. When did they start planning this? He was like a little rabbit with a tiger behind him and no way to retreat. The green dragon above his head was suppressing him casually. At this moment, he just wanted to escape by burrowing into a hole like a mouse.

I only heard a voice from afar: "The imperial edict has arrived."

Mu Jinan and Li Huaijin were stunned. How could there be an imperial edict at this moment?

Li Yuanyang curled his lips and smiled. They had so many plans. Didn't he have any wisdom at all? He knew the character of the Emperor of Chang'an best. He was selfish, cowardly, greedy, and suspicious.

"Little Princess, listen to the imperial decree first!"

A bright yellow light streaked across the blue sky. The light was familiar yet unfamiliar. The flying dragon on the silk seemed to be the green dragon that had just protected the people from all odds. It gently landed on the two scrolls and was slowly opened.

The man holding the scroll was wearing a purple official robe and a six-ring white jade belt around his waist. He looked very proud, and his tall official hat was full of complacency. Hundreds of people followed him and he said with a smile:

"Princess, Prince Liang, long time no see, hope you are well! Please kneel down and receive His Majesty's decree."

Mu Jinan clenched his fist and looked at Li Huaijin's leg injury. The two men knelt down. Thousands of people knelt on the green and yellow grass, and the loyal soul of Shi Yan who sacrificed his life heroically listened to the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The Xique rebels have betrayed their loyalty and are now invading our borders. Our country's heroic female ruler, Princess Huaixi, has worked day and night to put an end to the chaos and save the country. Her contribution is immeasurable. She is now given the title of Xi Wang and is entitled to the food and fiefdom of a prince. I hope the princess will handle the situation with grace and tolerance, and make peace with the Xique leader, make peace with the emperor, and assign her to a garrison to guard the border. I decree this."

"Prince Xi, are you still not accepting my order?"

The girl's heart stagnated, and sweetness flowed out of her mouth, dripping onto her scarlet cloak. The white fur collar was dyed bright red, more gorgeous than the summer sunset. It seemed like the Lantern Festival in Chang'an that she had never seen before, with thousands of lights shining on the trees and seven branches of flowers blooming.

The cold wind from the grassland slapped her whole body. Her increasingly thin body could no longer support her. She staggered to the ground, looking up at the heavy power from the side.

The flying dragon on the silk was so funny. All the people were saved, but she was trapped here. What was the difference between her and the trafficked people? She was sent here and there at will by others, and her freedom was imprisoned by the imperial power thousands of miles away.

She fell into his arms. Li Huaijin supported her and touched the blood on her lips. The moment the young man saw his beloved fall, the heart-wrenching insect tore his heart into pieces.

Looking at her like an abandoned cat, a poor child, her bravery in facing death and suppressing the rebellion was gone, shattered by an imperial edict.

Li Huaijin was in a panic, hugging her, wiping the blood off her face with trembling fingers, crying:

"Jin'an, why are you vomiting blood? Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The person in front of him continued, "Your Majesty has ordered that the Prince of Liang must leave his bride after traveling a thousand miles to see her off. He must return to Chang'an immediately and marry Meng Ying, the daughter of Grand Tutor Meng."

Gu Wenxuan snatched the imperial edict and read every word on it carefully. The words were written with full ink but without any emotion. They had worked so hard, but the emperor lost his loyalty just for that little bit of balancing.

"Pei Yun, do you dare to falsely convey the imperial edict?"

Pei Yun adjusted his official hat. The purple robe of a third-rank official looked out of place on the grassland. The pride in his eyes almost burned the grassland, and his mouth was grinning from ear to ear:

"Young Marquis Gu, don't you recognize the jade seal? His Majesty has also granted you a marriage, so you should go back with him."

The man behind him laughed loudly: "Little princess, although you saved the people and put down the rebellion, you can never go back. You lost to me because you cared about the world, your responsibility and your duty."

Li Yuanyang's crazy laughter was so harsh. The girl looked into Li Huaijin's eyes. This road from the beginning to now has been earth-shaking, but it seems to have returned to the starting point. Fortunately, she saved the grassland slaves, and they are the meaning of her existence.

Li Huaijin held her hand, which was getting colder and colder. He looked at Pei Yun, and the sound of a tiger's roar reached the ears of all people:

"Who can prove that the imperial edict has been here?"
