Crossing the grassland, the rough general, please set me free

The two found the location of Chen State on the map. It was located in the southwest of Qi State and bordered Chongzhou. Yan Lie knew where the Chongzhou County Chronicles were, so he immediately found them in the box.

At this moment, Dunzhu came in and stood aside, "Great Khan, Grand Concubine, Concubine Yun Xihe is here."

Yan Lie didn't even raise his head. "Tell her that if it's for Helian Zhen's sake, then let her go back. This matter has been decided and cannot be changed."

Dunzhu did not hesitate and immediately went out, but after a while, he came back in.

"Great Khan, Concubine Yun Xihe said she won't leave until she sees you."

"Dunzhu, let her in. After all, she was once the wife of Balin Khan. It is not appropriate for her to stand outside the tent like this." Lin Shu said.

"Shu'er, you knew she was coming..."

It was too late for Yan Lie to stop him. Dunzhu moved too quickly and had already led the person in.

Yun Xihe came in and saw things all over the floor, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I didn't realize the Khan and the Queen were busy. I apologize for disturbing you."

Yan Lie knew her intention and said calmly,

"I'm busy cleaning up the mess left by Helian Zhen."

Yun Xihe froze slightly, but still maintained her previous decorum.

"I know she's made a grave mistake this time, but she's the Great Khan's only daughter. How could you bear to see him die without an heir? If the Great Khan hadn't saved you, how would you be able to marry and start a family now? I've thought about it. Now that the Balin tribe can't accommodate her, I'll take her back to the Chaha tribe and discipline her properly so she doesn't do wrong again."

"Princess Yunhe is truly a good stepmother on the grassland." Lin Shu didn't want to embarrass Yan Lie, so she immediately took over her words.

He grew up eating the food of the Bahrain tribe. Anyway, she is not from here, so she will be the bad guy.

Yun Xihe was stunned and glanced at her. She had never had a good or bad impression of Lin Shu.

"Grand Concubine, what do you mean by that? Although Helian Zhen is not my biological child, I watched her grow up. The late Grand Concubine treated me well, and Zhen'er is their only child. How can I watch her die?"

"Nothing. I was really praising you just now. You can't bear to see her die, but you can bear to see so many of your people die, right?"

"I didn't say that. Stop trying to sow discord and talking nonsense here." Yun Xihe's face changed. He had heard Helian Zhen say before that this woman was quite good at making arguments.

"So the Balin tribe belongs to you, and the clan rules are just for show. Everyone has to revolve around you. If the little princess of the Balin tribe gets angry today, you'll have to quickly pick a few people to kill for fun to cheer her up, right? Others are loving mothers who defend the middle line, but you're such a spoiled mother. The Balin tribe's wealth has almost been squandered by your precious Zhen'er, and they've been reduced to forming alliances with others to protect themselves. Not to mention her audacity, she even dared to assassinate Qin Yue, just for this little thing of love. She shamelessly asked the Balin tribe to be buried with her. How could you not think of your Balin Khan at this time? At least when the Balin tribe was in his hands, he refused to give up an inch of land. As a result, he was unable to prevent thieves from stealing his home, and finally died with hatred. Who is the instigator of all this? My husband didn't give her a chance. If he had kept his tail between his legs, he wouldn't have ended up like this. If we let her go today, then any personal grudges between the clansmen will follow suit in the future."

After saying that, he turned to look at Yan Lie, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Yan Lie was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "You've already said it all for me."

Her little mouth is so good.

"Okay, Concubine Yun Xihe, I'm afraid you didn't understand what I said just now, so I'll be more direct. There's no room for negotiation on Helian Zhen's matter."

Yun Xihe's eyes were filled with tears, her body was trembling, and she pointed at Lin Shu with an angry face.

"Yan Lie, she's not from our Balin tribe. What qualifications does an outsider have to dictate our affairs?"

Lin Shu did not give Yan Lie a chance to reply.

"Tsk. You make it sound like I enjoy minding your family's mess. If it weren't for the kindness you've shown my husband, I would have taken him away when the Balin tribe was still holed up in that corner, and now I have to clean up the mess for your precious Zhen'er."

"You..." Yun Xihe finally understood why Helian Zhen hated her. "Shut up, I won't talk to you. I'm asking Yan Lie. Should I let him talk?"

"Didn't you hear it just now? I said exactly what he wanted to say. I never realized that you are not so old, but you have such poor hearing."

"Princess Yunhe, please go back. This matter won't change. Even if I let you go, do you think you can leave the Balin tribe? Will those tribesmen who have lost their loved ones, children, and husbands be willing to accept this? Since you have time to come to me, why not go and say goodbye to her properly? Once some things are brought to the surface, there is no room for maneuver."

"But all of this came from you. If you hadn't said it that night, no one would have known."

Yun Xihe spoke hysterically, no longer as polite as before, his tone full of complaints.

"Oh, are you blaming us for this?" Lin Shu began to feel unhappy.

"Shut up. I am Yan Lie's elder after all. I am talking to her, so why do you have the right to interrupt?" Yun Xihe really didn't want to talk to her.

"Elders should also act like elders. But using it to repay a favor and using moral blackmail is too cheap." Lin Shu thought for a moment and continued,

"How about this: ask the families who lost their loved ones. If the victims' families have no objection and don't want to pursue the matter, then let you go. How about that?"

Yan Lie immediately interrupted, "Shu'er, I'm afraid it's difficult to explain to Qin Yue?"

"Yes. Lord Qin is also a victim. Why don't you ask his opinion when the time comes?"

Yun Xihe was very disappointed with Yan Lie's attitude. "You...you...I thought women from the Central Plains were all gentle and kind. How could you be so vicious?"

Lin Shu sneered, "No one is as vicious as your precious Zhen'er. She is an expert in this field."

Yun Xihe was speechless and looked at Yan Lie angrily.

"What if I must take Zhen'er away?"

Yan Lie sighed deeply and spoke coldly,

"You are the Khan's wife. If you want to leave, I will not stop you. As for what other members of the tribe want to do, I will not stop them either."

If it weren't for the Bu Re Re people guarding the place where Helian Zhen was imprisoned during this period, the tent would have been overturned long ago.

"You... So after all this talk, you still don't intend to let Zhen'er go, right?"

"She has brought all this upon herself, she can't blame anyone else."

Yun Xihe sneered, and after a moment, he said quietly, "That sounds nice, you're doing this for her, right?"

"Shu'er is my bottom line, but Helian Zhen has repeatedly crossed it. Every time I let her go, I hurt Shu'er's heart once more. This time, Helian Zhen not only crossed my bottom line, but also the bottom line of the Bahrain tribe."
