Chapter 189

Enji smiled and pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, saying, “This is one of the dowries when the princess married into the grassland, her country had an outbreak of horse plague, and then relied on the development of this formula to cure it. We made the medicine according to the prescription, put it into the water source for the horses to eat, and now it has also recovered as before.”

“Your Highness Enji, why didn’t you bring it out earlier!” A tribal leader who lost almost all of his cavalry’s fighting ability due to the plague was overjoyed.

Enji laughed, “Since you wanted to kill her and invade her country. I’m naturally embarrassed to use her and her country’s stuff anymore.”

“You are the lord of the country and Princess Zhaoren is the queen, we are naturally loyal to you!”

That chieftain immediately changed his address, kneeling down and claiming his allegiance, and the other chieftains immediately followed suit.

Without the cavalry, what difference is there between them and ordinary nomads? Without this formula, they would not even be able to keep their positions, not to mention waving their divisions southward.

In a moment, only those leaders who had colluded with Sang Yan remained in a stalemate, a few of them looked at Sang Yan sheepishly, and even the slowest of them reacted to the fact that they had been trapped.

Enji had actually predicted that they would rise up after the old lord, and had made the funeral ceremony a trap, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net.

Sang Yan gazed at his familiar yet strange nephew, and suddenly threw back his head and laughed: “Good! The little lamb has turned into a wolf.”

“Not into a wolf,” Enji said softly, “I have always been a wolf, but wolves also have feelings and do not want to hurt their loved ones. Second uncle, you forced me to do it.”

Sang Yan nodded, “Okay, okay, you are a wolf. Then have you ever thought about your little wolf cubs?”

After saying that, there was a loud shout outside the tent, “Whoever dares to move, I will kill your princess and little prince!”

Enji’s face instantly turned blue, and he led a few of his soldiers around him to quickly step out of the king’s tent.

Only to see that under the torchlight, two attendants beside Princess Sang Yan, pinned Zhou Xian Yao in the middle, one tightly controlling her left arm, and one holding a scimitar at the side of her neck. And the child she was holding in her arms was still huffing and puffing.

Enji only felt his scalp explode and the blood in his body went cold. He had clearly dedicated a few dead guards to Zhou Xian Yao’s side, how could they let her be hijacked by two maids?

On the outskirts of the tent, the king’s soldiers were riding on their horses, arrows on the string, ready to kill Sang Yan and the rest of the group.

“Enji, have your king’s army make a path and let us go back! We won’t harm your wife and children!” Sang Yan mentioned the conditions, still shouting as if no one else was there, “Go get the king’s consort, we’re going home!”

Enji’s own soldiers stared at him dead on, itching to stare through him.

Enji was silent for a moment and waved his hand to release him.

In the swaying firelight, Zhou Xian Yao let out a clear shout, “No release!”

Sang Yan turned around fiercely and looked at that Central Plains Princess, a smile of utter contempt spreading across her meek face, “Sang Yan, look whose child is this?”

She turned around, the child that was crouching on her chest was wearing a Han Chinese mourning dress, a white hat covering revealed a tender and cute little face ……

“Ah Wu!” Sang Yan and En Ji, both were shocked.

Zhou Xianyao’s arms, but Sang Yan’s forty-year-old son.

Zhou Xianyao coldly said, “Sang Yan, you all know to leave your child in your own tribe, to avoid the suffering of tonight’s treason and strife, do you think I will leave my child in the Nair grassland, waiting for you to harm?”

“You …… are such a sinister woman!” Sang Yan was trembling with anger, Zhou Xian Yao said in a loud voice: “Let your maids put down their knives, if I die, your child will die of poison in a while!”

Sang Yan’s princess was escorted out of the tent, and happened to see the scene in front of her, and hissed and shouted a Chinese phrase that she only learned in the past few days, “Zhou Xian Yao!”

Zhou Xian Yao coldly laughed: “Auntie, I kindly prepared a pony for your child, but you let your side maid come and kidnap me and my child. The war between men originally has nothing to do with you and me, it was you who insisted on getting involved.”

The princess shook her head and cried bitterly, humbly begging Zhou Xian Yao to spare her child. Sang Yan, at the side, suddenly put away his party’s anger and, with an iron heart, said to the maid holding Zhou Xian Yao hostage, “Don’t let her go!”

He stared at Zhou Xian Yao and smiled coldly, “Since this king can give birth to a son, he can give birth to a second one. You can still have another one without this one, you really underestimated me when you tried to hold this king hostage with a child.”

“Your Highness!” As soon as Sang Yan’s crown princess heard this, her legs immediately went limp, and Rong Xiangmian and Xiao Nan tugged her along.

They served by the royal consort’s side, and had overheard her plan to cooperate with Sang Yan and use Xian Yao and the child as blackmail since they set out. Not wanting to avoid attracting suspicion, just after arriving at where the royal court was, they took the opportunity to tell Liuli, the maid who accompanied Xianyao to marry into the Northern True Kingdom, so that she could be on guard.

Enji had already sent people to control the remaining remnants of the Sangyan tribe, the king’s court side has long been blocked all the news into. Xian Yao, on the other hand, secretly ordered people to bring Sang Yan’s children along with them on a fast horse.

At this moment, seeing the Princess like this, Rong Xiangmian was a little heartbroken. Originally, she and Xiao Nan volunteered to serve by her side, also because they wanted to one day when things went wrong, they could use the crown princess as blackmail, but now it seems that Sang Yan even disregarded her son, and even less would she care about this woman.

“Hear that?” Zhou Xian Yao used Bei Zhen language and said in a loud voice to Sang Yan’s subordinates, as well as those tribal leaders who followed him, “This man, for the sake of himself, can even disregard the life and death of his wife and son! If today, your deaths could be exchanged for his life, he would not hesitate to betray you! Is it worth it to fight for him on the battlefield?”

These words were truly aimed at disintegrating hearts and interest alliances.

“You want to swing south and kill into my country, but there is no grassland there, no sea, you can’t stride your horse …… in the street there is completely different from the grassland, it is all towns and villages and lanes. The population there is a hundred times a thousand times that of yours. Even if you have entered the country, you will not be able to occupy it for a long time, and sooner or later you will be driven back to the grassland! Sooner or later, you will be driven back to the grassland! At that time, you may not even be able to keep the land under your feet. The Central Plains and the Northern Realm have been friendly for a hundred years, are you sure you want to risk everything you have now for Sang Yan’s ambitions?”

Sang Yan, seeing the hearts of the people around him, impatiently roared, “Enji! Quickly let us out!” Saying that, he immediately snatched the knife from his maid’s hand and personally held Zhou Xianyao hostage, dragging her backward. The escorts around him opened their bows and arrows, staring around vigilantly.

Amidst the furious gazes of his personal soldiers, Enji ordered, “Let him go!”

Sang Yan had won his gamble on the weight of Princess Zhaoren in Enji’s heart.

What folly, he thought.

With no one to stop him, Sang Yan’s line retreated, and his line laughed, “Enji! You are not a wolf at all! Wolves are lonely and simply won’t give up for any of them ……”

Before the words fell, an arrow feather pierced through the back of his head, the arrowhead piercing through his brow.

The guards around him, whose attention was all around, did not even see his accident at first.

When they reacted, they were all confused. Even Zhou Xian Yao was confused, the arrowhead that pierced through Sang Yan’s brain was still stained with his blood, and the blood beads pattered and dripped on the mourning clothes of the son that he had just given up in Zhou Xian Yao’s arms.

Sang Yan actually died just like that?

The first reaction of his guards was, what should they do?

In a fleeting moment of opportunity, Enji gently made a gesture, and his personal soldiers had already fired their long arrows, shooting all of Sang Yan’s guards to the ground.

In the midst of the chaos, those few leaders who originally wanted to follow Sang Yan to start a rebellion, looked around the outer circle of the king’s army, surrounded by crows, countless cold arrows pointing at their heads, knowing that there is no way to live, can not go in and out of the country, is thinking about whether to fish death, Enji said in a loud voice: “Sang Yan has already used his life to pay for his disloyalty, the rest of those who blindly followed, if reform yourselves and pledge allegiance to the orthodoxy, I will naturally not take your lives.”

Those few chieftains heard this and immediately knelt down, changing their name to Enji as the Lord of the Country.

As soon as Zhou Xian Yang pushed away Sang Yan’s corpse, Zhou Xian Yao turned back to him, his eyes instantly lit up in surprise, “Fourth Brother!”

After more than ten years of separation, speaking again was actually in a foreign country, on the night when Fourth Brother killed for her.

There were so many words, and before she had time to say them, Sang Yan’s crown princess was already kneeling not far away, “Queen, please Queen, save my child, let him live!”

Zhou Xian Yao walked over and lowered herself to tuck the child into her arms, “I just fed him some tranquilizing medicine, he’ll be fine when he wakes up.”

After these words were said, a trace of disbelief slipped across Princess Sang Yan’s face, perhaps she changed her mind at that moment, but unfortunately her hand had already flicked the wine pouch at her waist before that.

A small black and red snake scuttled out of the thin mouth of the sac towards Zhou Xian Yao’s neck.

“Xian Yao be careful!” Rong Xiangxian, who was standing by the side, screamed, but both of them were afraid of snakes, and both of them were frozen in place like ice in that instant.

In the dimness, a slender hand flashed into Zhou Xian Yao’s neck like electricity, pinched the snake’s head, slammed it into the ground, and stomped on it with her foot, trampling the poisonous snake into a lump of slime.

“Ah ah ah ah ah!” Rong Xiangxian and Zhou Xianyao both had tears in their eyes and immediately hugged each other, jumping all over the ground, “Scared me to death! So disgusting! So disgusting! Ah ah ah ah!”

Xiao Nan laughed from the side, but still reached down and wiped off the soggy liquid that had gotten on the snake on his pants.

Immediately, Xiao Bei came over and picked the snake’s body right up with an arrow and threw it into the fire.

The two of them then slowed down and looked at each other, hugging and crying for a split second.

The personal soldiers immediately escorted Sang Yan’s royal consort along with the child, and the surrounding soldiers began to clean up the scene and rearranged their defenses. Between the silhouettes, only two other figures stopped behind them, watching them with smiles on their faces as they cried and laughed.

Only when she had cried enough did Zhou Xianyao see Fourth Brother standing in front of her, and she was busy jumping towards him again.

“Do you think you’re still at forty pounds?” Zhou Xian Yang hugged her sister for a while before putting her down and patting her back, “Not going to introduce me?”

Only then did Zhou Xian Yao walk back and put his arm around Enji, “Fourth brother, this is your brother-in-law Enji. Enji, this is my fourth brother, Yang Xian, and Xiangmai, you’ve met her before, now you’ll have to call her fourth sister-in-law!”

Enji, who spoke fluent Chinese, came forward and made a big salute of the Chinese dynasty, “Thank you for your help, Fourth Brother and Fourth Sister-in-law. If it wasn’t for you, we would have been killed today.”

Zhou Xian Yang said, “It’s not fair to say such things! I came to save my own sister, is it your turn to thank me?”

As they spoke, Song Yexing and a group of other generals who had infiltrated the Northern Realm came to find Zhou Xianyang.

“Your Highness King Yu, look at those chiefs ……”

Several of their assassination plans had not been carried out, and they were not in a position to take matters into their own hands due to the face of the Northern True Kingdom’s Lord, so they came to ask Zhou Xian Yang to show them what to do.

“Enji has already said that he will give them the opportunity to abandon their darkness and we must not interfere too much in the affairs of their kingdom. As long as Enji is able to restrain the people of the Northern True Kingdom from destroying the rare peace between the two countries, our purpose will have been achieved.”

Song Ye Xing and the others immediately said yes.

Enji smiled, reassuring Zhou Xian Yang that he and his children would never raise an army against the Central Plains.

After saying that, he led Xian Yao with one hand and Zhou Xian Yang’s shoulder towards his own tent, and greeted these Central Plains generals together, intending to get drunk as a token of gratitude.

Rong Xiangyang didn’t want to get involved in the drinking game, and only rushed to carry Hong Yue back, “You drunkards drink! I’m going to see the child.”

The two of them immediately let go of their respective husbands’ hands and walked outside on their arms. Before taking a few steps, Xiangmian suddenly remembered something and shouted back, “Xian Yang, don’t drink too much! Second brother-in-law, don’t fill his drink oh!”

“Got it!” Zhou Xian Yang smiled and waved his hand at her, while at the same time, Xiangmian saw the smile on his second brother-in-law’s face freeze.
