Time travel, quick transmigration

Jiuyeli nodded.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you."

The witch doctor nodded.

"Your Majesty, I will go down first to prepare the medicine."

Jiuye Li waved her hand.

The witch doctor understood, bowed, and left.

"Your Majesty, why won't you let me tell the princess that it was Xiao Huanling who seriously injured you?"

Unable to contain his doubts, Ubhan asked in a low voice.

Jiuyeli glanced at him.

"Shuhe was spoiled by me as she grew up, so she's naturally arrogant and doesn't know her place. I'm worried that if she goes after Xiao Huanling without thinking, things will get out of control..."

Ashina Shuhe, who was eavesdropping outside the tent, no longer cared what Jiuyeli said next; she only remembered Xiao Huanling's name.

"Xiao Huanling, you dare to hurt my brother, I will make you learn a lesson and pay the price."

The shaman, who had just stepped out of the royal tent, suddenly bumped into Ashina Shuhe, who was eavesdropping outside the tent, and was momentarily stunned.

"Princess, what are you doing?"

Ashina Shuhechao made a gesture to the witch doctor.

"Keep your voice down, and don't let my brother Wang know that I'm hiding outside eavesdropping on their conversation."

With that, he turned and ran away.

Watching Ashina Shuhe's departing figure, and recalling the hidden annoyance in her eyes, the witch doctor hesitated for a moment but ultimately did not report to Jiuyeli Ashina Shuhe that he had been eavesdropping outside the tent.

After Ashina Shuhe returned to her tent, she summoned her maid, who was her confidante. The maid was not only skilled in whip fighting but also extremely adept at riding and archery, and a first-rate assassin. Ashina Shuhe and her maid had studied under the same master since childhood, and thus both had become skilled in whip fighting.

"Come, come with me to avenge my brother!"

The maid Xiang Yuena was always brave and meticulous, and very loyal to Ashina Shuhe. Knowing that she couldn't dissuade Ashina Shuhe, she was willing to go with her. So she did not try to stop her and respectfully replied, "Yes."

The two left the tent and headed towards a large tent. As a princess, she was protected by a team of warriors, whose orders were solely obeyed by the princess.

When Ashina Shuhe found his guards, he explained his plans. Except for a few who disagreed, most of them were willing to go with Ashina Shuhe to Taiyuan Prefecture to find Xiao Huanling and avenge the Khan.

"Since the three of you disagree with me and are unwilling to go with me to take Xiao Huanling's life, then you should stay put. I will release you after I kill that Xiao fellow and return, so as not to ruin my important plans."

"Xiang Yuena tied them up."

Xiang Yuena hesitated only slightly before taking action and binding the three resisting individuals tightly in one go.

"excuse me."

she said.

Ashina Shuhe also knew that his behavior was not quite appropriate.

"Please bear with me for a while. I was worried you would report this to your brother, the King..."

"Princess, you mustn't act rashly..."

"Yes, Princess, how could you risk your life like this..."

The three young men, bound hand and foot and unable to move, looked anxiously at Ashina Shuhe, who was avoiding their gaze, and tried to persuade him.

Ashina Shuhe, who was hostile to Xiao Huanling, simply wouldn't listen.

"The skills of this princess and Xiang Yuena are no less than those of the most valiant warriors on the grasslands. I doubt that the man surnamed Xiao is a match for me, Xiang Yuena, and these fifteen warriors."

"Watch me beat Xiao Huanling to a pulp. Even if I lose to him, he won't dare to do anything to me."

Ashina Shuhe firmly stated.

"set off!"

After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the tent. Xiang Yuena immediately followed closely behind, and fifteen warriors with curved swords at their waists also quickly followed the two.

Stepping out of the tent, Ashina Shuhe braved the wind and snow to fetch his beloved horse, easily leaping onto it and galloping away into the snow.

Xiang Yuena and fifteen sword-wielding warriors mounted their horses and followed closely behind Ashina Shuhe, who was wearing a fiery red cloak and riding like a ball of fire towards the vast plains.

The heavy snow lasted for more than two hours before gradually stopping.

Just as night fell, Xiao Huanling heard Jiang He report that someone outside the camp was declaring war and shouting insults.

Xiao Huanling, who was writing a memorial to the emperor by lamplight, looked up at Jiang He upon hearing this and said indifferently.

Who is shouting insults?

Jiang He's expression was indescribable, but he still reported the truth.

"According to one of the women, they came here on behalf of their Khan to seek revenge for your serious injury, Brother Xiao."

"The woman at the head of the group is said to be Princess Golden Branch of their royal court. I took a look at her and she is indeed very beautiful, and she looks very noble and proud. It seems that she really is a princess."

"The brothers are all watching the show and can't make a move on their own, since peace talks are coming up soon. But that woman's insults were really awful..."

"Brother Xiao, look."

Xiao Huanling placed the pen on the pen holder.

"Don't worry about it, let them be."

Seeing Xiao Huanling's unwilling expression, Jiang He was dumbfounded.

"Brother Xiao, you have no idea what that woman said about you. She called you a coward, and..."

Xiao Huanling gave Jiang He a casual look, a look that was both stern and imposing, which immediately silenced Jiang He from continuing.

Xiao Huanling got up and left the desk.

"It's getting late, you should go back to sleep. We need to get up early tomorrow to break camp and return to Taiyuan."

Seeing that Xiao Huanling truly ignored the Turkic princess, Jiang He, despite his dissatisfaction with the Turkic princess and her group who had suddenly arrived and spoken recklessly, decided not to pursue the matter any further.

"Alright, Brother Xiao, if you're too lazy to care, then I won't either. I'm going back to sleep. Let them stand outside in the cold wind all night; maybe they'll be the first to give up."

Xiao Huanling glanced approvingly at Jiang He, as if to say that the young man was teachable.

Jiang He suddenly realized that Xiao Huanling was cunning and ruthless, and could be said to have made the enemy collapse on their own without bloodshed.

The two returned to their respective tents and slept soundly through the night.

If the commander-in-chief ignored the Turkic princess's provocations, the rest of the camp would naturally ignore her as well.

This caused great distress to Ashina Shuhe and his companions, who had been cursing and swearing for a long time but were unwilling to leave.

As dawn broke, Xiao Huanling inspected the three armies, who were fully equipped and ready to march back to the city. He rode out on his cloud-like horse, and Ashina Shuhe, who was exhausted and listless from the cold wind all night, heard the commotion and came out of his newly built thatched hut. He rode over and met Xiao Huanling's gaze, who was sitting on a white horse, dressed in purple and wearing a dark cloak. He was incomparably noble and had a bright and beautiful appearance.

Ashina Shuhe was stunned by Xiao Huanling's dazzling, beautiful appearance and demeanor, and was captivated by her unapproachable, godlike aloofness. Perhaps the impact was too great, the princess, who was always noble and proud, was stunned on the spot, speechless and forgetting how she should react.

Until Xiao Huanling withdrew his gaze, his nonchalant and indifferent demeanor caused Ashina Shuhe's proud and unrestrained heart to feel a sudden, unexplained sting, a slight ache and bitterness.

Those eyes, so beautiful and profound like the vast sky, must belong to only her.

As she watched Xiao Huanling and his men pass by, Ashina Shuhe, in a fit of pique, drew her soft whip from her waist and aimed it at Xiao Huanling's face.

Before the crowd could react to the sound of something cutting through the air, they saw a whip, as cunning as a serpent, attacking their commander.
