During the Beijiang-Zhouwei War, people all over the country were in a panic, fearing that the war would affect them.
The only people who were relatively calm and peaceful were the people of Xiyao Kingdom.
Xiyao Country is located on the edge of this continent, far away from other countries, and its systems and laws are different from each other.
Other countries emphasize patriarchal relationships, human ethics, and the rule of God and the emperor.
The entire population of Xiyao Kingdom is religious and pays attention to religious rituals. They divide people into different classes based on their bloodline.
The one with the highest bloodline is called the Holy Maiden or Holy Son, and all the people in the country are her/his believers, no different from the emperors of other countries.
Three years ago, a member of the Yu Gu tribe with more noble bloodline emerged and replaced the saint to become the new monarch.
Now, while the two camps are at war, the people of Xiyao are living a peaceful life.
As usual, I went to the temple to listen to scriptures, burn incense to the monarch, and honor his longevity tablet….
Inside the monarch's palace.
The man on the throne had a godly handsome face, with a white snake coiled around his wrist, spitting out a bright red tongue.
"Master, there are fewer people watching you outside. I am sure I can help you escape."
The man's eyes gradually turned cold, "Well, it should be because of the war. All the people have been sent to the battlefield."
"Master, it's been three years. You've become the monarch. Do you still want to leave?"
The man chuckled.
"It's just a puppet. For three years, I have missed Sinan every moment. If it weren't for the Yugu people, I would have left long ago. Now that the people in the tribe have been settled, I can finally leave without any distractions."
Yu Jiao had dark eyes. He raised his little head and stared at the man's handsome face.
"Master, you miss that woman, don't you?"
The man frowned, grabbed its head and stuffed it into his sleeve.
"I just miss my friends."

Almost half a month passed, and Xie Ling did not wait for Zhou Weiguo to use his big move, but instead waited for a strange guest.
When Xie Ling heard her subordinates calling her, she was still puzzled because she didn't have any appointments today.
Sitting in the reception room was a tall and handsome young man.
He was wearing a white bamboo hat, and his whole body was shrouded in gauze curtains, with only one jade-like hand showing, holding a sky-blue teacup, and the clear tea swayed slightly with his casual movements.
Xie Ling stood at the door with her arms folded across her chest and her head slightly tilted. Who is this person?
The man sensed Xie Ling's arrival, put down his teacup, took off his hat, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be soaked in the misty rain of Jiangnan. His facial features were exquisite, and he was as stunningly beautiful as before.
Xie Ling's eyes widened in disbelief, "Jiangxue, why is it you? Where have you been all these years? Why haven't you had any news at all?"
Xie Ling suddenly thought of the gift that someone unknown had sent to her and Gu Wei when they got married.
"Did you give that gift?"
Jiang Xue's eyes curved, "It's me."
Xie Ling sat down and said, "Then why don't you come in person? Don't you consider us as your friends?
Ru Jieer and A Li miss you very much, and they often ask me why Brother Jiang Xue hasn't come back yet."
There was bitterness in Jiangxue's eyes.
“I can’t leave. Three years ago, in order to protect my people, I returned to Xiyao, and then was pushed to the top step by step by the people of Yaoshen Valley, and became the puppet emperor of Xiyao.
Over the years, my every word and action has been monitored, and now, with the battle between Zhou Wei and Beijiang, I have a chance to escape."
Xie Ling asked: "Then why did you come to Beijiang now?"
Jiang Xue replied: "I want to join forces with you to deal with Zhou Wei together. Yaoshen Valley is their people. You know what Yaoshen Valley did to our Yugu tribe."
Xie Ling frowned even deeper, "Jiangxue, it's not that I don't trust you, but at this critical moment, you came at such a coincidence that you look like a spy."
Jiang Xue looked calm and said in a gentle voice, "It's nothing. If I were you, I would be suspicious too. You know, I don't have any martial arts skills. You can detain me and send someone to watch me. Just take me with you when you go to the battlefield. I can help you."
Xie Ling asked: "How can you help?"
Jiangxue lifted her sleeves, revealing the jade dragon coiled on her wrist, and slowly explained: "Xiyao uses the snake as its totem, and there are thousands of venomous snakes, and each one is extremely poisonous.
Xiyao has a special snake trainer who can control venomous snakes through music. One of Zhou Wei's strategies to deal with Beijiang is to use the snake trainer to control the venomous snakes and launch a sneak attack on the battlefield.
And my Jade Dragon can command hundreds of snakes."
Xie Ling frowned.
If what Jiangxue said is true, Zhou Wei is too insidious!
If you are bitten on the battlefield and cannot receive immediate medical treatment, you can almost only wait to die.
Xie Ling stroked his chin, "Okay. But I have to lock you up for a while, do you mind?"
Jiang Xue's eyes curved, "Of course."
Gu Wei only found out about this when he came back from military training at night.
The two of them lay on the bed.
Xie Ling analyzed: "Anyway, no matter whether it is true or not, we will know it when we go to the battlefield. He has no martial arts skills, you can kill him at any time."
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows slightly.
"My lady is so charming."
Xie Ling was puzzled: "What does this have to do with me?"
Gu Wei patted her head, his peach blossom eyes smiling, "Nothing, go to sleep."
Alas, my wife is smart in everything except love affairs.
Jiangxue has always had a crush on her when she was in Sinan, but she doesn't know anything about it.
Fortunately, I took the initiative.
Otherwise, these Jiangxue and Shiqi would probably have abducted his wife away.
On the second day, Gu Wei went to see Jiang Xue and discussed the details with him in detail.
After questioning, he was able to confirm that Jiangxue had no bad intentions and was simply there to help them.
But Gu Wei did not mention releasing him from prison.
Otherwise, Jiangxue would have to hang around Xie Ling every day with that face.
Jiangxue was also very honest and stayed in prison obediently.
From the beginning, he never thought of making this feeling public, he just wanted to keep it hidden in his heart.
Xie Ling and Gu Wei are the happiest when they are together.
Now, he just came back to repay his gratitude.
…
The news of Jiangxue's disappearance did not cause much waves in Zhou Wei.
He is just a puppet emperor. Anyway, the purpose has been achieved. At worst, we can just replace him later.
Zhou Wei is now busy with the war and has no time to deal with these things.
On the other hand, the people of Xiyao shed tears every day.
Their monarch, their faith and their sun, where has he gone?
