There were only twenty men left in Yangzhao's guards, and they heard one voice: "General, be careful."

“Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …. Whoosh!”

The cold wind blew past my ears, bringing with it the sound of fierce arrows shooting. The arrows pierced through the crowd and headed towards the young man's heart. He shot ten arrows, but several of them were blocked by the sword in Mu Jinan's hand. The man had superb archery skills and could hit the target from a hundred steps away.

Zhang Zhenguang's bloodshot pupils were instantly filled with shock.

Blood reflected on Mu Jinan's cheeks like rosy clouds. She shifted her gaze and saw clearly the bronze arrow in her chest. A helpless and self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of the girl's lips. Her thick eyelashes were frozen into thick frost, and her pair of peach blossom eyes were filled with despair and pain. Tears quickly flowed from her eyes, washing away the blood on her cheeks and dripping onto the jade pendant with the pattern of a dragon leaping on a peach branch and a phoenix dancing on the jade pendant of the Jade Prince.

The purple string of the jade pendant that represented her fate with Li Huaijin broke.

The tearing pain in Mu Jinan's chest spread to her whole body. Her limbs stiffened for a moment and gradually became powerless. Her bloodshot eyes were blurred. She wanted to take one more look at the boy in her heart. He was still fighting for her in the emperor's secret guards. When Emperor Ming forced her to be tortured to death, he fought in Ziming Palace to protect her and injured Yang Zhaowei. Emperor Ming did not allow her to eat, so he blindfolded her and plugged her ears and fed her, injuring the emperor's secret guards. In front of the city gate, Yang Zhaowei shot an arrow at her, but he blocked it without hesitation.

The scarlet cloak fluttered in the wind, like the sarlang flowers blooming on the summer grassland, with their fiery red corollas blossoming, breathtakingly beautiful. The fifteen-year-old girl, who should have been in full bloom, slowly fell at his feet.

A golden bead rolled to the man's feet.

Zhang Zhenguang's hands were shaking as he held the hilt of the Chixia Sword. If he died in battle today, this was the sword he had used, and his daughter could use it as a reminder. He panicked and shouted:

"Princess!"

Suddenly, the whistling of the cold wind stopped, the fighting between the two sides stopped, and in the silence, the wooden stick fell on the grass and rolled down the hillside, and everyone's eyes turned to the green and yellow grass.

Li Huaijin looked back and saw the dazzling, brave and invincible girl, with dead eyes and pale face, lying motionless on the grass, her cloak fluttering in the wind and quietly sticking to the grass, and the bright bronze weapon swaying in front of Mu Jinan's silver armor.

"Puff!" The blood in his heart rolled rapidly and flowed out of his lips and tongue. Unable to bear it, she fell in front of him. His whole heart was broken, like a huge rock hitting his heart, and pain and despair filled his whole body, bones and blood.

Li Huaijin's bloodshot eyes were instantly filled with fear, tears welled up in his eyes, Yu Xue's silver fox mask was frozen, he ignored his leg injury and ran towards the girl, crawled in front of her, hugged her tightly, stroked her cheek with his fingers, saw the arrow in her chest, he collapsed in despair, hatred and revenge echoed in the grassland:

"Mu Jinan, call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician, ah, who shot the arrow? Find the person who shot the arrow."

"The military doctor died in battle! We have no doctors!"

Li Huaijin was extremely panicked and frightened, just like the day when the evil insect bit her brain and damaged it. The cold water was dyed red by her blood and rushed into his pupils and heart. He felt suffocated and in great pain as if he was dying. He had forgotten that he was in a foreign land and there was no doctor to save his beloved.

The bronze arrow shot into Mu Jinan's chest. Mu Jinan lowered his eyes to look at the arrow. Zhang Zhenguang's voice was in his ears. The young man was strong and had never seen any prince or princess of the royal family stand in front of the general to save his life. He burst into tears:

"You are a princess, how can you save me? Princess, you never forget your country in times of trouble. You are sincere and kind. You save the people and put down the rebellion. I am willing to sacrifice my life for you."

Mu Jinan forced a smile on her lips. The wound had never been so painful before. It seemed that the situation was not good. She warned:

"General Zhang, you are so powerful, and the entire Shiyan Army is convinced. You are a master at using troops. You have won a surprise victory today, and you will surely have great military achievements in the future. You want to save the people of the world, how can you die for a princess?"

"General, please help me keep an eye on Jingye and keep him alive."

Zhang Zhenguang knelt in front of Mu Jinan. At first he didn't understand why Li Huaijin would hand over the Killing Flame Army to her. He came here from afar, but only in these days did he realize that she was a man of great righteousness and brave and fearless.

"I will follow the princess' orders."

Li Huaijin stroked the girl's pale and haggard cheek. He was only one step away from taking her away. Mu Jinan said that she could die fighting for her country and her people, but she could not die in the emperor's calculations.

She put down the rebellion, but in return she received an imperial decree to stay in the grassland, allowing her to spend the rest of her life with the person who killed her.

Li Huaijin's throat was burning with pain, and the hands holding her were shaking. His brain was confused, and every drop of blood in his body was swelling. He was in severe pain, and his heart was being eaten away by thousands of poisonous insects. He was in so much pain that he lost consciousness and cried bitterly:

"Jin'an, let's pull out the arrow. The doctor will be here soon. You can't die...Hold on, okay? We're almost winning. I'll take you to Jiangnan. I can do whatever you want."

Mu Jinan touched the bloodstain under the arrow and looked up at the young man's scarlet eyes. Li Jingye, who was calm, decisive and strategic, and defeated the enemy, would only collapse in front of her, cry for her, be at a loss for her, fight for her, and fight against the two emperors.

Li Jingye's father died young, and his mother became a nun and never cared about him. The young prince grew up alone, carrying a deep blood feud, amidst hundreds of princes and grandchildren, and in danger and intrigue. He was also poisoned by her most toxic poison and endured five years of torture. She wished that she could live longer so that she could marry him and become his wife.

Mu Jinan felt more and more pain in her body, and she felt that her soul was being separated from her body. She couldn't bear to let him go, so she gently stroked his cheek, motioning him not to cry, and said weakly:

"Jingye, there is no imperial physician here. I beheaded three rebel generals, cleaned up accounts and investigated corruption, eradicated treacherous officials, killed traffickers, suppressed rebellions and wars, and signed a covenant with the two clans. I am worthy of the titles of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, and Princess Huaixi. It is you who gave me the faith to bravely fight against the enemy and fight for my life even though I was thousands of miles away from home and surrounded by enemies on all sides."

"Without Li Jingye's cultivation and support, I would not have the honor of being the King of Mu Jin Anxi and the female general of Huaihua, nor would I have the opportunity to realize my lofty ambitions and save the world and the people. You have given me so much, and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. I finally fell into the calculation, and there is no need to bury my bones in my hometown. I am tired. If I die, bury me here. You take them back to Sheng'an and treat the soldiers' injuries first..."

"The rest of the way...you walk for me...it's too late...the arrow is poisonous...it hurts...hold me tight...it's so cold...Jingye...marry Mengying...don't disobey my order...I want to pick peaches and plums..."

Li Huaijin hugged her tightly and warmed her body. He would not allow anything to happen to Mu Jinan. Without her, he would be soulless and just a walking corpse. Mu Jinan was everything to him and the belief that kept him alive. The boy cried until his eyes were red, revealing endless collapse and pain:

"Mu Jinan, you will be fine. I won't let you die. Wake up, wake up. The arrow is poisonous. Call the doctor... call Sake... to find the person who shot the arrow."

Mu Jinan opened her mouth, but no sound came out. She only saw her lips moving, as if she had to use all her strength to open her eyes and listen to Li Huaijin shouting hysterically over and over again:

"Call the doctor."

The hand that the girl was touching on his cheek suddenly dropped, and Li Huaijin's pupils seemed to lose focus, and his internal organs were torn apart. Seeing that Mu Jinan was motionless in his arms, tears fell from his eyes and turned into a pool of blood. The boy's heart was broken, as if he had lost his soul, and he was heartbroken:

"Mu Jinan!"

The people who knelt behind him wept bitterly, and the crowd was noisy. They had just been saved, and then they saw their savior lying in a pool of blood. In their eyes, there were prayers to the heavens, hatred for King Xi, and gratitude to Mu Jinan:

"Princess, princess, princess... I pray to the Eternal Heaven to protect the princess. Eternal Heaven... I am going to Aobao to pray for the princess now."

The earth-shaking sound shook the distant forest, and the blood-red river surged and hit the rocks, as if the loyal souls who sacrificed their lives were indignant. The military doctor of the Shiyan Army had died, and Gu Wenxuan found the witch doctor Sa Ke, wanting to treat Mu Jinan.

Li Yuanyang hated Mu Jinan and Li Jingye in his heart. There was a dark and cunning look in his eyes, and he threatened:

"Sake, if you dare to treat her, I will kill you. As long as the emperor doesn't kill me, I will always be the King of Xi. Your wife and daughter are behind me, don't you care?"

Sa Ke saw the man standing in the distance, with a sword at the neck of his wife and daughter. He was not the princess or the King of Liang's man, but Li Yuanyang's man. Sa Ke knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Yuanyang:

"Your Majesty, why are you making things so difficult for the princess? She is only a fifteen-year-old child. If you don't save her, she will die. Your Majesty, allow me to save her life."

Li Yuanyang hated Mu Jinan. It was she who made him lose his dignity in front of the people of the grassland and the various tribes, and made the two tribes enemies. He roared:

"Let her die, don't save her. She ruined my plan to attack the Central Plains. If you dare to save her, you will be my enemy."

Gu Wenxuan covered his abdominal wound and knelt in front of Sa Ke. He came here to bring Mu Jinan back. He had already won, but he never expected to be ambushed. The young man burst into tears and was humbled to the dust:

"Divine doctor, please save my sister, I beg you."

The cold wind blew Sake's white beard, and his eyelids drooped slightly. He didn't want to be held hostage again. He wanted to be brave for once, and save someone like Mu Jinan, regardless of his own life. Otherwise, how could he justify the medical skills he had learned for half his life? He said disappointedly:

"My king, please release my wife and daughter. I will give you my life. I have done my best. Although I don't have the ambition to rise to the top, I want to be a real doctor, regardless of life and death, to save the world."

I heard Li Yuanyang cursing behind me, saying that the grassland was full of traitors, and without these traitors, I would not have been defeated.

Sa Ke came to Mu Jinan, checked her pulse, gave her a pill to temporarily control the toxicity, shook his head, and said:

"The princess is seriously injured. She has been delayed for a long time. The poison has entered her heart. I am afraid it will be difficult to treat her. I will do my best."

Li Huaijin held Mu Jinan in his arms, his limping legs like an eagle without wings. The rosy glow in the sky just dissipated, and six petals of crystal snow fell on the girl's forehead.

The young boy and girl snuggled up to each other, from suspicion and killing each other to sharing the same ideals, from saving one person to saving thousands of people, they wanted to cross the Yellow River but the river was blocked by ice. Their road was difficult and tortuous, the wind and snow buried the thorny and bumpy road, and the young man lost his direction.

Without a matchmaker or an arranged marriage, he made a desperate attempt to get the princess to return to Sheng'an and keep her alive, but she was seriously injured again.

Li Huaijin's tall figure is no longer as straight as before, but thin as a wisp of green smoke, floating away into the distance, where the Bodhisattva is protecting his beloved.
