The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

After Qin Wenlan finished speaking, he did not wait for Gu Changan's response, but jumped on his horse and headed straight towards the top of the Black Wind Ridge Grand Canyon.

Gu Changan's eyes darkened slightly, and then he also jumped on the horse and said, "Give me the bow and arrow."

Liang Yong was stunned and quickly took off the bow and arrow from his back and handed it to Gu Changan. After Gu Changan took it, he mounted his horse and galloped after Qin Wenlan.

The eldest prince of the Xiongnu barbarians was preparing to retreat under the cover of his personal guards, but Qin Wenlan had already arrived with a sword.

The eldest prince of the Xiongnu barbarians looked at the imposing middle-aged man. The sword in his hand was still bleeding, and the color of his robes could no longer be distinguished.

He had the aura of a single man standing against ten thousand, and I was greatly impressed. I asked, "Who are you, sir?

Why are you so mean to us Huns? What does the life and death of these Great Xia soldiers have to do with you?

Since you have such ability, why don't you just surrender to my wise leader of the Xiongnu? I will guarantee you a life of luxury and a worry-free life."

Qin Wenlan stared at him coldly and replied, "A dead person is not worth wasting energy on."

After saying that, he picked up his sword and rushed straight towards the eldest prince.

The hundred or so personal guards were vegetarians, and they tried their best to stop Qin Wenlan. The eldest prince jumped on his horse and sneered, "My life is not something a reckless man like you can take so easily. You look like an immortal.

You are a stubborn guy, it is not worth it for this prince to waste his breath. One day I will capture you alive and bring you back to be my guard. Then I will see if you are the one who..."

Before the eldest prince could finish his words, he screamed and fell off his horse. It turned out that Gu Chang'an had caught up with him and shot an arrow at his leg.

Even so, Gu Changan did not stop, but continued to draw his bow and arrow, aiming at the eldest prince again.

On the other hand, Marquis Jing'an and Gu Jingyi were like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Wherever their swords passed, no one survived. Every sword strike was fatal. Soon, all the eldest prince's personal guards fell down.

Qin Wenlan had already put away his sword and stood aside as a bodyguard.

It was not until he saw Marquis Jing'an and Gu Jingyi leading their troops to capture the eldest prince and several thousand Xiongnu barbarian soldiers that Qin Wenlan's expression relaxed slightly and he hurried away.

"Brave man, brave man, please stay..." No matter how much Gu Chang'an shouted behind her, Qin Wenlan just rode away on her horse. The matter here was over, and she should be able to keep the credit and fame.

She is no longer needed for the rest of the matters. Gu Chang'an and Jing'an Hou will make arrangements for these Xiongnu barbarians anyway.

After the Xiongnu barbarians captured their eldest prince Yelu Hua alive, they immediately agreed to a ceasefire and peace talks.

It was precisely because of the Xiongnu barbarians' eldest prince as a hostage that the Xiongnu barbarians accepted almost all the terms, including becoming vassals of the Great Xia Kingdom and paying annual tribute.

Since Gu Chang'an left the battlefield, he has never seen the middle-aged man who rescued him again. Because he has been hiding his thoughts in his heart, all matters are handled by Jing'an Hou.

Qin Wenlan had returned to the capital at this time. As soon as he came back, he went to check the formations he had set up before leaving. Seeing that they were still the same as before and no one had touched them, he felt relieved.

After all, I don't have much time left in the Qin Hou Mansion, and I don't want to cause chaos before leaving. It's better not to interfere with each other, as there is still a long way to go.

Perhaps the fact that Yu has become increasingly immobile recently is partly to blame.

Qin Wenlan had already calculated the time. After she really left Qin Hou Mansion, it would be time for Yu to go to hell.

Of course, there is also the culprit Qin Shu. If it weren't for her in the previous life, how could Yu have tormented her, a puppet, so madly, haha.

Not long after Qin Wenlan returned to the capital, she received a letter from Gu Changan. When she opened the letter, she couldn't help but feel happy.

The victory in the northern border was considered a complete one. The Xiongnu barbarians were defeated so badly that they no longer had any evil intentions. Not only did they pay tribute every year thereafter, but they also seized countless spoils of war at one time.

Following Qin Wenlan's letter, the news of the great victory in the northern border spread throughout the entire country of Daxia, and the malignant tumor that had plagued the country for many years was finally eliminated.

Prince An's complete victory this time has once again refreshed the recognition of those wavering ministers in the court. It is not that Prince An is usually silent, but that he will make a big splash when he finally does.

The people who were most unhappy about this great victory were the Wen family and Gu Yunzhou and his mother. Their mood was extremely bad.

However, Concubine Shu's tense heart finally found a place to rest. Holding the letter of Gu Chang'an's safety, she cried and laughed, and she wanted to announce to the world immediately that her life had finally come to an end.

She is no longer the woman in the deep palace who lives in fear every day for her nephew.

She can finally hold her head high in the future. So what if the Wen family daughter has two sons? Haha.

So what if she is a woman who has never given birth in her life, haha.

In order to find someone to share her joy, Concubine Shu took the letter directly to the Qinzheng Palace.

The Emperor was also very excited at this time. When he saw Concubine Shu coming in with a smile on her face, he asked directly, "My beloved concubine, what treasure did you find that makes you so happy?"

"Your Majesty, I just received An'er's letter. I was so excited to know that he would soon return victorious that I couldn't help but want to come and share it with Your Majesty." Concubine Shu walked to the emperor and smiled embarrassedly with her hands covering her face.

The emperor pulled Concubine Shu to sit beside him and said with a smile, "My beloved concubine has raised An'er very well. She is more dedicated and responsible than a biological mother. Thank you for your hard work over the years!"

"Your Majesty, what a heresy! Without your Majesty's earnest teachings, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Besides, isn't it my duty to do these things? My sister passed away early, and An'er and I have been dependent on each other for all these years.

If it weren't for An'er's company, I don't know what would have happened to me over the years. The person I should be most grateful to is Your Majesty.

If it weren't for your majesty's love for me and giving me An'er to raise, I wouldn't even know now..." As Concubine Shu spoke, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

When Concubine Shu said this, the emperor interrupted and said, "You are a loving mother, how can I not understand? Well, what did An'er say in the letter?

Every time this brat writes to me, it's all about border affairs, not a single one of them is about greetings to me, the Emperor."

Concubine Shu handed the letter over directly and said softly, "Your Majesty, An'er and I are like mother and son, so of course it's different from the relationship between you and your father.

After all, you and An'er are first ruler and subject, and then father and son. How can An'er tell you about family matters? Wouldn't that interfere with your work? "
