Time travel, quick transmigration

Whoever helped him was doing him a favor. However, the other party's obvious unwillingness to show themselves must have its reasons, which he chose to respect. But Xiao Huanling could not fail to repay the life-saving grace, so he could only investigate in secret.

As for the person who had ambushed him earlier, Xiao Huanling decided to return to the main camp first and then send someone to investigate. However, even though he did not know who had shot him in the back, Xiao Huanling knew that apart from the Turks who wanted to kill him, he had no conflicts of interest or grudges with anyone else, so they would not go to great lengths to come to this battlefield to take his life.

Presumably, the one who shot him in the back was a Turk, but he didn't know who was instigating him. He didn't believe it was Jiuyeli, as the Khan didn't seem like such a despicable person.

Jiao Lie's assassination attempt failed and he was injured. To avoid being questioned by Jiu Yeli and having difficulty explaining, he did not head towards the royal court. He did not know where to go. Due to excessive blood loss and delirium, he could only force his will to drive his horse toward the boundless grassland, as if the place ahead was the hometown he had always longed to return to.

After Xiao Huanling led his army back to camp, he first met with Li Moyan and said some words of praise and encouragement to him. Then he met with Jiang He, Zhang Liang, and Feng Xiang, who had successfully completed their mission and returned to camp, and rewarded the four of them, as well as the triumphant generals and soldiers.

Everyone was overjoyed. When the news of Xiao Huanling's great victory over the Turks reached the city, the people of Taiyuan Prefecture were ecstatic.

At dinner time, Xiao Huanling rewarded those who had made contributions in the camp, which was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a joyous atmosphere.

Despite the victory, Xiao Huanling did not let his guard down. Before the banquet began, he ordered Jiang He and Zhang Liang to set up defenses in the camp.

Despite the raging wind and snow outside the royal tent, Jiuye Li's tent was warmed by a charcoal fire in the brazier.

Because her lungs and internal organs were injured by the sword energy, Jiuyeli went straight back to the royal tent after returning to the royal court.

As a close advisor, Upan was concerned about his Khan's injuries and immediately ordered his subordinates to summon a shaman to treat Jiuyeli.

Youbanan helped Jiuyeli to lie down on a couch covered with animal skins, then stepped aside and watched Jiuyeli.

"Your Majesty, please rest. The witch doctor will be here soon."

Jiuyeli was closing her eyes to regulate her breathing when she heard this, so she opened her eyes and looked at Youbanan.

"Where is Jiao Lie?"

Upanan's eyes flashed, and he quickly thought for a moment before reporting back.

"Your Majesty, Lord Jiao Lie was summoned away as soon as he returned to the royal court. I do not know why. Perhaps he has received news of his parents and daughter whom he has been searching for."

Jiu Yeli's expression hardened slightly, then relaxed again.

"If that's the case, it's understandable. Let it be."

"Upanan, tomorrow you will deliver the peace treaty to Xiao Huanling, and also bring Juzhui back."

Upanam's eyes dimmed, but he still respectfully agreed.

The witch doctor arrived shortly afterward, accompanied by Jiuyeli's sister, Ashina Shuhe, and Princess Jinzhi.

"Brother Wang, I heard you were injured. How badly are you injured?"

Princess Jinzhi was indeed as radiant and dazzling as her name suggested. Coupled with her noble status, she was even more heroic and spirited, and she was always a very eye-catching pearl in the hearts of the Turks.

There were many fine young men who admired the princess, and Upanan was one of them.

Upon seeing Princess Golden Branch rush into the royal tent, Upanam's heart trembled, and it took him a while to calm his excited heartbeat.

"Princess."

Ubhanam calmly bowed.

Ashina Shuhe gave Upan a subtle and polite smile, then walked past Upan to Jiuyeli's bedside, looking at Jiuyeli with heartache and worry.

Jiuye Li covered her chest and shook her head.

"I am fine, just a minor injury, nothing serious. Shuhe, there is no need to worry."

Ashina Shuhe reached out and touched Jiuyeli's entire body, and Jiuyeli let her do as she pleased. Only after confirming that Jiuyeli was unharmed did Ashina Shuhe withdraw her hand with some doubt.

"Brother Wang, you mustn't lie to Shuhe, or I'll never speak to you again."

Jiuye Li was amused by Shuhe's spoiled and domineering manner and burst out laughing.

"How could Brother Wang deceive Shuhe?"

Ashina Shuhe glared at Jiuyeli with annoyance, then turned to look at the witch doctor who was waiting in place.

"Witch doctor, come quickly and treat my brother, see if he is seriously injured."

Upon hearing this, the witch doctor replied "Yes, sir," and then quickly went to the bedside to carefully examine Jiuyeli.

Ashina Shuhe saw that the witch doctor remained silent but had a deep frown on his face, and his heart began to pound with anxiety.

"How is it? Is my brother's injury serious?"

The witch doctor was about to reply when he caught a glimpse of Jiuyeli's suggestive look and immediately understood. He quickly replied.

“Princess, there is no need to worry. The king’s injuries are not too serious. After I examine the king carefully and give him proper care, he will recover fully after a period of rest.”

Ashina Shuhe was relieved.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, that scared me to death. Brother Wang, you mustn't get hurt, you know?"

Jiuyeli affectionately reached out and tapped Ashina Shuhe's forehead with her finger.

"You're the most domineering one. But I, your brother, will grant your request."

Ashina Shuhe smiled and acted coy.

"Who told you that my brother only has one good sister? I am Ashina Shuhe, the most wise and powerful Khan on the grassland, Ashina Jiuyeli's only sister, the noble Princess Jinzhi. My domineering attitude is only because of your power, brother."

Jiuye Li chuckled helplessly.

"Alright, you've seen it all, you should be relieved now. Go back to your tent. It's freezing outside, don't wander around playing around."

Ashina Shuhe wanted to object, but seeing that Jiuyeli was still injured, he could only obediently nod and agree.

"Upanan, tell this princess, which blind fool dared to hurt my brother?"

As her younger sister, how could she not feel heartbroken when Jiuyeli was injured? Moreover, she was extremely angry at the culprit who had hurt her brother.

When his beloved spoke, Upanan opened his mouth to reply, but was stopped by a look from Kuyari.

Ashina Shuhe turned around with displeasure upon seeing this.

“Brother Wang, why are you preventing Upan from telling me? Just because you forbid him from speaking, does that mean I can’t ask someone else?”

Jiuyeli looked at Ashina Shuhe, who was relentless and clearly unwilling to give up, with a headache.

"On the battlefield, life and death are determined by fate, and injuries are inevitable in a contest between men. Even if you know who hurt me, what do you intend to do? Do you perhaps want to avenge me?"

"Quickly dismiss your unrealistic ideas. That man is not easy to deal with. If you are killed by him, I will have to find a way to save you."

This blatant belittling and disdain instantly ignited Ashina Shuhe's competitive spirit.

"Hmph, I'm not talking to you anymore, Brother Wang."

After saying that, she stood up from the bed in a huff and walked away quickly.

After Ashina Shuhe left, Jiuyeli asked the witch doctor.

"Is there any hope of healing this king's injury?"

The witch doctor bowed his head respectfully.

"In my opinion, although Your Majesty has been injured in the lungs and internal organs by a fierce and domineering sword aura, if you do not take good care of yourself and use precious medicinal herbs to recuperate, you may be in danger of shortening your lifespan."

Upanam had not expected it to be so serious and his expression immediately changed.

"The king cannot be harmed; the shaman must heal him."

Jiuyeli, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned, simply looking calmly at the witch doctor.

The shaman believed his medical skills were quite excellent, and since Jiuyeli was the Khan to whom he had pledged his life, he naturally took great care in curing Jiuyeli.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I am confident that I can heal you. It will just take some time. During your recovery, please do not overwork yourself, avoid getting angry, and keep calm."
