Later, his subordinates found His Majesty and learned that someone had forged an imperial edict.
For the past few months, my subordinates and others have been searching everywhere, especially on the night of the full moon, when the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is mobilized to search throughout the night..."
Seeing his travel-worn appearance, Yin Jin'an knew that he was not lying.
He took off his left foot, stretched it out on the table, and said, "Look, my left foot has no moles, not a single one."
Xiahou Yan saw him stretch out his foot and show him the sole of his foot, and immediately took out a small bag from his pocket.
There was a small porcelain bottle in the bag. He carefully pulled out the cork from the bottle and poured a little liquid onto a silk cloth.
He carefully wiped the soles of Yin Jin'an's feet with the silk cloth.
Yin Jin'an didn't even look, waiting leisurely as he wiped the liquid on the soles of his feet, feeling only a cool sensation.
Xiahou Yan wiped the soles of his feet with a clean cloth, his eyes immediately lighting up with joy. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Master, I've finally found you..."
Wait, holy crap, what happened?
Yin Jin'an pulled her foot back, turned it to face her eyes, and stared in disbelief at the sole of her foot.
The Big Dipper! When did I get a mole on the sole of my foot?!
"No, I mean, what did you just do? There was nothing there before, how come you rubbed it a few times and suddenly there's this ugly bunch of black moles?"
He's a man and doesn't care about appearances, but what can he do if he finds so many black moles on the soles of his feet a bit disgusting?
"Our master was born with seven stars under his feet. The high priest of the Spirit Clan said that our master is the destined ruler of the world. However, our master's life has been full of hardships. We are afraid that some people will be jealous of him and that he will not be able to grow up. Therefore, we used a secret medicine to cover up the seven stars."
Fearing that it would arouse the jealousy of others, the high priest took it upon himself to cover up the seven moles shortly after his birth.
The original owner had no idea. Yin Jin'an was always carefree and never imagined that she was stepping on so many black spots.
It's a pity that even if the potion covered it up, the original owner was a pitiful person who died tragically at the age of sixteen, without ever growing up.
Yin Jin'an pressed her tongue against her cheek, pulled her foot back, put on her shoes, and asked Xiahou Yan teasingly, "So, are you going to cover up these moles again?"
"No need. Your Highness has drawn your sword with overwhelming force. You are destined by Heaven and the world is united in your favor. There is no need to hide your brilliance any longer."
"Well said. I have lived an upright and honest life and hate hiding things. The arrangement of these seven stars is almost identical to the Big Dipper. It may be ugly, but the soles of my feet are unique in the world."
Xiahou Yan listened to him speak, his voice filled with arrogance and domineering presence, no longer that of a timid child, and was deeply moved.
He immediately knelt down and acknowledged the Lord.
His voice choked with emotion as he said, "Your Highness, I have finally found you..."
He quickly got up and shouted outside, "Come in, everyone! Come and pay your respects to the master!"
The thirty-one men outside had been anxiously searching for nearly a year. Finally finding their master again, they excitedly dropped their horses, rushed in, and immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Master!"
Yin Jin'an looked at them. He had been on the battlefield and knew that these people were definitely not ordinary guards.
He then said, "Get up, all of you."
Everyone looked at him excitedly upon hearing his words. "Master, you're not stupid anymore!"
They stood in two rows, left and right, arranged in a fan shape, so that their master could easily recognize them.
"Give me your names." Damn it, they were all his guards, but Yin Jin'an didn't recognize a single one of them!
"Your subordinate, Huo Dao."
"Subordinate Xue Jingfei"
"Subordinate Yang Hanfeng"
"Subordinate Cheng Chang"
...
After the names of the thirty-two men were announced, Xiahou Yan replied to Yin Jin'an, "Your subordinate, Xiahou Yan, is the leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. To outsiders, I am the head of the master's guards."
Yin Jin'an asked, "How many men does the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have right now?"
Xiahou Yan said that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had a total of 3,000 men, of whom 50 remained in the capital, while the remaining 2,950 were hidden in the Tianshan Mountains.
Yin Jin'an thought that Empress Wei's maternal clan, the Ling Clan, was located in the Tianshan Mountains, and she roughly understood the situation.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was probably the trump card that Empress Wei left for him.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that these three thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalrymen were not only brave and skilled in battle, but each also possessed unique abilities.
"Emperor Yangsheng has been eyeing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry for many years, and Empress Chu also wants them."
Xiahou Yan said in a low voice, "In the past, Your Highness was unable to control the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so Her Majesty the Empress entrusted the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to me, Huo Dao, and Xue Jingfei for temporary management. Now that Your Highness has returned, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has been returned to its rightful owner intact."
He knelt down and presented the three tokens to Yin Jin'an with both hands.
Yin Jin'an took the token and looked at the words on it, somewhat taken aback.
Although he was not well-read, he was not illiterate.
He couldn't recognize the small characters on the token!
He looked at the characters repeatedly, without saying a word for a while.
Suddenly, the sound of a bird landing came from outside the door. Jiutian shouted happily, "Second Uncle, I'm back!"
