The carriage left Shangjing and headed west and north. Almost half a year had passed in the blink of an eye...

"Wow, what a huge grassland! So many sheep! Look, there are even horses over there..."

Li Shushu was brought back from her memories by the slightly surprised exclamations of the people outside the car.

She lifted the curtain, and sure enough, an endless prairie appeared in front of her.

Although it is autumn now and the grass is not very green, the vast grassland with flocks of white sheep and horses of various colors running through it is still a very shocking and beautiful scene.

It has a bit of the feeling of "the sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and the cattle and sheep are revealed."

Soon, the convoy stopped and an attendant came out to announce, "Princess, Ashile is here to greet us."

Li Shushu nodded, "Ziyuan, let's go down."

"Okay, Your Highness." Ziyuan quickly took out a white curtain and put it on Li Shushu, and then considerately put a pure white cloak on her. Then she helped her get off the carriage slowly.

Ziyuan and Banxia are Li Shushu's current personal maids.

Ziyuan was her maid when she was in Fengming Pavilion. The two of them had a friendship since they grew up together. Deep down in her heart, Li Shushu regarded her as her own sister.

Later, after she was chosen to marry in place of Princess Showa, she asked Shion's wishes. Shion was naturally willing to accompany her, so she asked the Pavilion Master to return Shion's indenture contract to her.

After all, Li Shushu had made Fengming Pavilion a fortune, so they naturally wouldn't make things difficult for her over a worthless maid.

Another maid, Banxia, was assigned to her by the palace, and naturally, she was also assigned to keep an eye on her every move.

But Banxia is a calm person, very familiar with the rules and secrets of Dayu Palace, and has excellent martial arts skills. If there is no conflict of interest, he can be a rare assistant to Li Shushu.

The team that Ashile came to greet them was not very spectacular, with only a small team of about ten people. However, the people of the grassland were very tall, and when they rode on the horses, they looked even more imposing.

Especially the person in the lead, his figure was taller and more slender, and his temperament was outstanding.

She was wearing a white slim-fitting fur coat with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a dark eagle pattern on it.

He looks masculine like a grassland man, but not rough. The silver mask half covers his face, revealing the lower half, which has firm lines and sharp edges.

His face was as cold as his eyes, revealing a deep chill.

Li Shushu only took a quick look at him, and a chill ran down her spine. "Oh my god, these grassland men are so tall and mighty. If it were an ordinary Jiangnan woman from Dayu, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to control him!"

Also, that leader has such a cold expression on his face. Who owes him eight hundred taels of silver? It's so scary."

Ashileyan was just getting off his horse when he suddenly heard a soft and pleasant voice in his ears. He looked around vigilantly to make sure there was no woman nearby.

He glanced across again and saw a graceful figure standing quietly in front of him, looking cool and elegant.

The woman had a veil on her face, and even though he had good eyesight, he couldn't see her clearly. He just felt that her eyes were too charming and affectionate. Even though his heart was cold and hard, he didn't dare to stare at her for too long.

In the woman's arms, a pure white cat was lying quietly. The cat exuded a sense of laziness all over its body, but at this moment, it was staring at Ashileyan with its bright blue eyes.

He just thought he was hallucinating.

Ashileyan shook his head and walked to Li Shushu with his long legs. He didn't need to speak himself, as an attendant beside him spoke for him: "The person coming is Princess Zhaoyang of Dayu Kingdom. The Khan is busy today and cannot welcome her in person. This is our young Khan Ashileyan, coming to greet the princess on his behalf."

Upon hearing this, Li Shushu nodded calmly to show his understanding. "In that case, Zhaoyang thanks the Khan and the Little Khan."

The voice is distant and polite.

Ashileyan nodded without saying anything. His attendant spoke for him, "The Khan, mindful of Princess Zhaoyang's long journey, has specifically instructed you not to rush into the palace. Please accompany us to the inn to rest for a few days. Once you're well, you can return to the palace."

After saying that, without waiting for Li Shushu to express his opinion, Ashileyan walked back to his horse, bowed, mounted the horse, and slowly led the team in front.

Seeing this, Li Shushu said nothing more, got back on the carriage, and followed slowly behind.

The carriage swayed for a while, and Li Shushu found that the further north they went, the flatter the terrain became, and the surroundings gradually became more lively.

Because there were outsiders present, Li Shushu did not remove the curtain, but quietly lifted it again to look outside. He saw white yurts standing densely on both sides of the driveway like giant mushrooms, and the aroma of butter tea was wafting in the air.

Perhaps some fellow villagers recognized Ashileyan's team and greeted them warmly, inviting them to stay overnight and rest.

Ashileyan's face was still stern, but facing the hospitality of his fellow villagers, he couldn't be too reserved, so he just waved at them to indicate that he had a mission to accomplish.

"It's great. I don't know which tribe this is. I remember that the Roy tribe was also so hospitable and had a friendly and peaceful atmosphere. It's a pity..., ah." The soft voice sounded in Ashileyan's ears again, with the unique accent of the children of the grassland.

He frowned, reached out to grasp the scimitar at his waist, and looked around calmly, but still could not identify the source of the sound.

Li Shushu thought of her parents and clansmen, and a mist appeared in her eyes unconsciously. She was afraid of being exposed, so she quickly lowered the curtains.
