Su Lijin lived a comfortable life in Yaoyue Palace, but she did not forget Xiao Shengxing.
Knowing that Xiao Shengxing would definitely look for her if she suddenly disappeared, she had people keep an eye on her from the beginning.
When she learned that Xiao Shengxing had indeed sent more people to search for her whereabouts as he had promised, she was still a little shocked.
According to the information their people received, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the secret guards sent out by Xiao Shengxing were mobilized in full force, and there was no one left by Xiao Shengxing's side at this time.
Su Lijin was secretly moved and immediately spread the news. The news reached Xiao Shengxing, who was in the big tent at the time, holding the letter tightly in his hand.
There were two simple words written on the letter: peace.
That was Su Lijin's handwriting.
His black eyes were fixed on those two words. Xiao Shengxing's heart, which had never been at ease for days, suddenly relaxed at this moment. He couldn't help but cover his chest, and a look of relief appeared on his pale face.
"Fortunately, you're okay." A low, magnetic voice murmured.
We have sent people to search for the past few days, but there has been no result and no clue.
Su Lijin almost disappeared from the world. Every time he received fruitless news, his worries deepened.
If he hadn't had a vague feeling in his heart that Su Lijin was not dead, he would have been unable to help but drop everything and dig three feet deep into the ground to look for Su Lijin himself.
However, since he didn't find the person, Xiao Shengxing had to hold on and stabilize the situation.
At this moment, he relaxed and seemed to feel a belated heart pain, and his hands covering his chest tightened a little.
Pursing his lips tightly, Xiao Shengxing let the heartache pass. After a while, he sighed softly.
He folded the letter neatly and placed it under the pillow closest to him. He blew out the candle and went to sleep with his clothes on.
The day for peace has arrived.
The agreed location was in the middle area between the two armies' garrisons. It had nothing to do with either the Mongolian army or the Liang army.
Xiao Shengxing arrived at the agreed place early with the people who followed him to negotiate peace. He got off his horse and looked at the terrain around him.
The surrounding area was covered with weeds and shrubs, and the woods were so dense that nothing could be seen.
However, in the dark, where no one could see, there was a figure quietly sitting on the tree, taking in the entire situation.
"Your Majesty, the Mongolian peace negotiators have arrived."
Looking towards Mongolia, Xiao Zhaolin's eyes flashed with joy and he spoke.
Following his gaze, Xiao Shengxing also saw a group of Mongols. His dark eyes were slightly stern, and he said in a deep voice, "Are all the matters for the peace talks ready?"
The people around him immediately responded loudly: "Your Majesty, everything is ready."
The people from the Mongolian side came in front of Xiao Shengxing. The person walking in front was dressed in Mongolian clothes. He was of medium height, but his eyes were very sharp and he looked extremely shrewd.
When he looked at Xiao Shengxing, he didn't show much respect, and there was a hint of arrogance on his face that he couldn't hide.
"Your Majesty, the Dalai Lama, pays homage to His Majesty the State of Liang."
As a subordinate of the eldest prince, the Dalai Lama was highly regarded and was the leader of the team sent by the Mongolian side to negotiate peace.
Xiao Shengxing looked at him with a calm expression. He extended his hand and said, "Dalai Lama's envoy, please stand up."
His face didn't look very warm, but rather indifferent. There was an unfathomable depth in his black eyes. He looked noble and majestic, with the oppressive aura of an emperor.
The Dalai Lama was also observing him, and was somewhat amazed at this moment, thinking that the Emperor of Liang was not as timid as rumored, but seemed to be very fierce.
That kind of natural imperial aura cannot be concealed.
As he watched, the Dalai Lama began to feel a sense of crisis.
Xiao Zhaolin, who was standing aside, looked at the Dalai Lama and felt relieved.
He glanced at Xiao Shengxing, and a hint of ambiguous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Is your eldest prince all right? Won't he come to discuss peace with me today?"
Xiao Shengxing suddenly asked.
He asked about the eldest prince, and the Dalai Lama was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the emperor would ask about the eldest prince as soon as he arrived.
The surprise lasted only a moment, and the Dalai Lama's expression quickly returned to normal.
But Xiao Shengxing did not miss his surprise.
These figures hidden in the dark were not missed, and the shadows began to move.
The Dalai Lama suppressed his emotions, thought for a moment, and said, "Grand Prince..."
He was about to say something, but was interrupted by a voice.
The sound came from far away and gradually got closer. Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of everyone.
"Palace Master Yaoyue Palace is honored to meet you all!"
The appearance of the figure immediately aroused everyone's vigilance, and many people had drawn their swords.
Xiao Shengxing listened to this figure, his black eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on the veiled person. When his eyes met those eyes, something flashed quickly on his cold face.
He put his hands behind his back, but his expression was slightly relaxed.
In contrast to him, Xiao Zhaolin, who was standing next to him, felt like he was facing a formidable enemy when he saw this person who suddenly appeared, and he gritted his teeth secretly.
Humph! At a time like this, where did someone show up to mess things up?!
If anyone ruins his plan, he will kill that person immediately!
The Dalai Lama stared at the newcomer and asked, "Invite the Moon Palace Master?"
The figure was Su Lijin. She smiled beneath her veil and said fearlessly, "It is this palace mistress."
The Dalai Lama glanced at Xiao Zhaolin, who shook his head secretly. He didn't know what Yaoyue Palace was.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"This Palace Master came here simply because I couldn't stand you, a bunch of hypocrites, pretending to be kind and righteous."
After Su Lijin finished speaking sarcastically, she looked at the Dalai Lama who was filled with anger.
The words spoken were so clear that the faces of the Mongolian and Xiao Zhaolin beside them turned black.
