'Dream Huai Jun' stood there for a while before regaining her senses. Just now, when she deliberately teased Wang Anfeng, she only found it amusing, effortless, without the slightest oddity. But just now, he only uttered two words, making her feel a bit feverish. Seeing him carrying the weapon she used to wield in her youth made her heart feel even more complicated.
She couldn't explain it, couldn't articulate it; sotis she wanted to laugh, and other tis she just felt like snatching that dagger back.
The words "the best" echoed in her mind, and her cheeks felt burning hot. If it weren't for the mask she wore, a treasured item in her family, she might have already shown her anxiety. She let out a slow breath, clenched the fingers of her right hand, and, not knowing why, felt a bit displeased, whispering the word "fool."
The tone was no longer as gentle as before, clear and clean, with a hint of the ranger's spirit from the Jianghu.
Before the snowflakes settled on her shoulders, she quickly descended Jade Pot Mountain.
.........
There was a rack on both sides of the furnace, and the fire was burning vigorously, licking the bottom of the brass pot. The mare's milk wine inside was bubbling, emitting a fragrant aroma. The "Golden Tent Xiongnu King," whose status surpassed that of the eight Khan Kings of the Northern Xiongnu, sat cross-legged on a soft rust-colored carpet.
Beside him, So Yehan Yue, dressed in armor, was half-kneeling.
The Northern Xiongnu King asked thoughtfully, "So, that person promised to make a move once but hasn't ventured toward the glacier, is that right?"
So Yehan Yue, who climbed from a lowly serf to his current position as a Great General, replied:
"He said the Divine Martial Cavalry would appear from the glacier next to Siyi Mountain."
The Northern Xiongnu King thought for a mont, then said:
"Siyi Mountain... Send soone with scouts to block it."
"This person, although eccentric, is quite capable—not just in martial arts, but also in calculations, star charts, dicine, divination—almost every skill you can think of. He's not just diocre at these skills; ordinary people might get distracted, but there are always those who defy logic entirely. Since he ntioned that place, there must be so reason."
So Yehan Yue respectfully agreed.
The Northern Xiongnu King tossed a piece of wood into the fire, watching the flas burn more fiercely, and slowly said:
"Then send soone to bring back that girl, Lianyang."
"If she doesn't listen, just say that I'm craving the food she makes and can't stand it anymore, so she must return quickly."
"Ever since my sister-in-law self-immolated, things have beco much more complicated. I have to be cautious of the Left General's martial arts and strategy."
"This person has traveled the Jianghu for too long and has absorbed the ranger's spirit of the Central Plains. That woman once had a al with him as a gesture of gratitude. When he was enraged back then, he single-handedly broke through the battlefield entangled by the forces of several nations and rescued that woman. Now, if provoked, he might kill everyone involved."
Although So Yehan Yue felt that the military deity of the Northern Region wasn't likely to go to such extres, his rise from a serf to his current position taught him what to say and what not to say, so he agreed to everything.
The Northern Xiongnu King laughed:
"Although he may not go that far, as parents, we never want our children to get hurt, do we?"
"Even a little bump or bruise is heart-wrenching."
So Yehan Yue's face showed a slight smile and said, "Your Majesty is right."
The Northern Xiongnu King laughed twice, pointing at his face, and said:
"I've been here for quite a while today, and this is the only thing you truly agree with from the bottom of your heart, right, you rascal?"
So Yehan Yue respectfully said, "I was born insignificant, and naturally, I don't understand the great principles; it's just that children are filial to their parents, parents care for their children, and siblings support each other."
The Northern Xiongnu King sighed, "That is the greatest principle of all."
So Yehan Yue didn't respond. Suddenly, soone outside approached quickly. The two, king and official, shared an understanding and paused their conversation. The person outside drew near and, after receiving permission, entered quickly, kneeling on the ground, voice trembling, and loudly said:
"Your Majesty, two white-clad warriors have breached the border."
"The scouts tried to stop them, but over a thousand have already perished at their hands!"
