Before Du Lin could say anything, he smelled a strange fragrance and then lost consciousness.
Lu Qingyan came out from behind the screen and kicked him a few times, but he still didn't move.
"Alright, hurry up and have someone take him out," Lu Qingyan said to Rong Qing.
The two changed their clothes and secretly took Du Lin out, finding two horses to ride with them.
As for the innocent Dacheng servants who remained here, Lu Qingyan believed they would make the decision that was most beneficial to them. After all, these people were truly loyal to Dacheng, but their relationship with the little princess was only that of master and servant over the years. In the face of their country, such feelings were too weak.
Let them stay here and let these great warriors fight for the Great Achievement. She, a weak woman, only needs to live.
Should they join forces with Rong Qing to seize power from the grassland king and then attack Dacheng to dominate the world, or perhaps govern this place well? No way. Lu Qingyan has no desire to engage in power struggles in this life; she'd rather be a reclusive hermit.
When they reached a slightly secluded place that could be easily discovered, Rong Qing placed the corpse he had prepared beforehand there, disguised it as his own, and then threw the unconscious Du Lin onto a horse and kicked him off the horse.
After being startled, the horse kept running in one direction.
At this moment, Rong Qing gave the signal, and then rode off in the opposite direction with Lu Qingyan.
The grassland king had Rong Qing, the leader of the secret guards, keep a close eye on Lu Qingyan, fearing that she might do something to harm the grassland.
Everything was peaceful before, but unexpectedly, just a few days later, signals that only his own bodyguards could detect suddenly appeared from such a distant place.
"Someone come here! Where is Princess Xuanyan?" the grassland king shouted. Not long after, someone rushed in in a panic: "Your Majesty, no, something terrible has happened! Princess Xuanyan has disappeared!"
"What!"
The grassland king was very agitated and immediately led his men to chase after them in that direction. Unfortunately, when they arrived, they only found the corpse of the leader of Rong Qing's secret guards, which Rong Qing had prepared in advance.
"Alright, it seems that the adults have already gotten what they wanted. In that case, let's start the war ahead of schedule." The food supplies on the grasslands are running low, so if we attack now, we can use the looted food as supplies.
"Your Majesty is wise!" the men below hurriedly flattered.
When the grassland king returned, he indeed found that besides the servants, Princess Xuanyan and Du Lin were also missing.
To the people on the grasslands, it was General Du Lin of Dacheng who abducted their wife, Princess Xuanyan of Dacheng, and the two eloped, then murdered the leader of the grassland king's secret guards.
Thus, the war between the grasslands and Dacheng, which had previously ceased, broke out again. This time, the grassland king rejected Dacheng's offer to marry his princess to him again and launched a direct attack on Dacheng without any pause.
By this time, Lu Qingyan and Rong Qing had already found a place to live in seclusion and no longer cared about those matters.
But when big news comes in, they can hear some of it.
Lu Qingyan heard that Da Cheng ultimately lost, and the grassland king unified the world. However, he didn't stay in that position for long before being killed by a coalition of the major tribes of the grasslands.
In their struggle for new power, they began another round of open and covert infighting, once again disrupting the established court and the empire.
