Gold, jade, precious jewels, coral trees several feet high, exquisite glass cups, all glittering and colorful, a dazzling array of delights.

Rays of light were reflected from the treasure chests piled haphazardly on the ground, almost blinding Hua Yaoying's eyes.

Bi Suo stood aside and made a gesture of invitation: "Princess, please take your pick. There are several large carriages prepared outside. You can take whatever you like."

Yao Ying came to her senses and thought: Since Tanmarajiva is so rich, she won't be polite to him.

She looked around and her eyes fell on a treasure box. She was stunned for a moment, her heart was suddenly in turmoil. She walked over and picked up the box. Her nose felt sore and her eyes turned slightly red.

"That's it."

Her voice sounded soft and hoarse.

Bi Sa was stunned for a moment, hesitant to speak, and returned to the inner hall to report.

There was no sound in the hall, but the air was filled with fragrance. Tanmaragha was bathed in a beam of cool light, and he said nothing.

Bishuo waited for a while, and seeing that he was absorbed in reading the scriptures, he did not dare to disturb him and left.

Prajna blocked the palace door and asked nervously, "How much did Princess Wen Zhao take?"

Bisha turned around and looked at Tanmaraka on the throne, with a thoughtful look on his face. He said nonchalantly, "Princess Wen Zhao only took one thing."

Prajna was so anxious that she almost smoked. She asked in a loud voice: "What did the princess take?"

Bi Su turned around and said, "A luminous wall. The princess seems to like it very much."

Prajna paused and asked, "How did she take the luminous wall?"

Bi Su glanced at him with a cold look: "Why, do you think the princess took too much?"

Prajna was so anxious that she kept beating her chest: "I think the princess didn't take enough! The herbs alone are more than one Night Light Wall! Why didn't she take more!"

Bi Suo grinned and said, "She got less, why are you angry? I remember that you didn't like Princess Wen Zhao very much."

Prajna glared at him with resentment: "General, you still have the nerve to laugh? Princess Wen Zhao's dowry has all been sent to the Buddhist temple. Now the rumors in the city are that the princess is obsessed with the king and has given up all her possessions just to follow the king! She has another excuse to pester the king!"

Bi Su smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? No matter how infatuated Princess Wen Zhao is, as long as the king is not tempted, Princess Wen Zhao will leave after a year. She is a person who keeps her promises and will not cling to the king."

In order to marry Ananda, Madana-sama was willing to practice asceticism for a year. Li Yaoying vowed to follow Madana-sama's example and stay in the royal court for only one year.

Unless Tanmarajava is attracted to her.

Prajna raised her chin and said, "Of course the king won't be tempted!"

The king is the reincarnation of Ananda. When he was born, the holy city was full of clouds and the palace was filled with Buddhist music. The king was noble and holy, pure and abstinent, so how could he be seduced by a Han princess? Although she was born with a good appearance that could conquer a country...

Bisuo glanced at him: "Then what are you afraid of?"

Prajna was stunned.

…

Yaoying took the treasure box back to the yard and sat in the cool corridor, staring at the luminous wall in the box in a daze.

Xie Qing was practicing boxing in the courtyard. Seeing her eyes reddened, she walked up the stone steps with a frown on her face. "Princess, who has troubled you?"

Yao Ying came back to her senses, smiled, and wiped her eyes: "No, I miss my brother."

Wang Ting’s luminous wall is rich in color and bigger than the one Li Zhongqian gave her, but she still likes the one her brother gave her the most.

I don't know who has the luminous wall now.

As usual, Xie Qing calmly comforted Yao Ying: "The princess will surely return to the Central Plains safely and reunite with the King of Qin."

"My brother is no longer the King of Qin, he is the Duke of Wei."

Brother must be worried about her, she has to go back early.

Yao Ying let out a long breath, put away her worries, gathered her spirits, summoned her personal soldiers, and gave an order: "When the Dharma Assembly is over, Xie Peng, Xie Chong, and Ah Qing will follow me to Gaochang."

The guards responded, and Xie Qing asked, "Will the King of Gaochang help the princess?"

Yao Ying said: "You won't know until you go there."

The guards remained silent.

Yao Ying glanced at the soldiers who were looking depressed and raised her voice: "During the Han Dynasty, Ban Chao was sent as an envoy to the Western Regions with 36 soldiers. Without spending a single soldier from the imperial court, he recovered more than 60 countries in the Western Regions."

"The Tang angel Wang Xuance was sent as an envoy to India. The envoys were captured. He managed to escape and borrowed troops from Tubo. He led his army to attack India, beheaded 3,000 people and captured the Indian king Arahat Shun and his followers alive. His reputation spread far and wide, and more than 500 cities in India surrendered."

She paused, her eyes sweeping over the faces of each of her personal soldiers. "Although we are trapped in the Western Regions right now, we may still be able to escape. The imperial court has always hoped to restore communication with the Western Regions, and the Western Regions countries are also looking forward to returning to the east as soon as possible. The diplomatic mission to Gaochang is a good opportunity for you to show your talents!"

Being far away from the Central Plains, with an uncertain future and unable to speak the language, the morale of the personal soldiers was low. But after hearing these words, they suddenly felt the light in front of them, and their blood boiled. If they could also help the court to recover the Western Regions like Ban Chao and Wang Xuance, wouldn't they all be recorded in history and bring glory to their family?

Everyone looked at their princess, with two blazing flames gradually appearing in their eyes.

Yao Ying stood at the front of the stairs, his expression solemn: "The Northern Rong are eyeing the Central Plains covetously. We will meet the Northern Rong in battle sooner or later. Even if we cannot get any help from the King of Gaochang when we go to Gaochang, at least we can get more military information. Knowing ourselves and the enemy will increase our chances of victory."

Everyone responded loudly, rubbing their hands, and eager to set off to Gaochang immediately.

Yaoying saw that they were very excited and smiled.

Half a year of imprisonment had left her soldiers listless and demoralized, but now one could see some of the heroic spirit in them. Regardless of whether they could achieve unprecedented feats or not, only with this ambition and spirit could they regain their confidence and calmly deal with all dangers.

The more they are behind bars, the more they must not lose their fighting spirit.

"The Royal Court was able to resist the Northern Rong army many times. They must have their own winning methods. On the way to Gaochang, you should pay attention to observe the Royal Court's Central Army and learn from their strengths."

The guards responded in unison, watching Yao Ying return to her room, and blinked at Xie Qing, who looked dumb, "Why don't you follow?"

Xie Qing looked confused.

Xie Chong sighed and said, "The princess misses Duke Wei and is in a bad mood. You go over and comfort the princess so that she doesn't have to be sad. We will definitely escort the princess back to the court!"

Xie Qing's face darkened: "Why should I go and comfort the princess?"

The guards didn't know where her anger came from and looked at each other.

Xie Qing picked up the wooden sword he used for martial arts training, flipped his wrist, and slapped the tip of the sword towards his personal guard.

"Because you know I'm a woman, the princess is sad and depressed, so I must go over to comfort her. Should I also put on women's clothes, embroider flowers with the princess, drink tea, and cry with her to relieve her depression?"

The guards screamed in pain, holding their heads to dodge and begging for mercy.

"Brother! Sister! Auntie! We are wrong! We are wrong!"

Xie Qing continued to chase and beat the guards, sneering: "You don't think you are wrong at all!"

"I tell you, even though I'm a woman, I'm still the princess's bodyguard! I'm your captain! I can beat you idiots without any resistance!"

The guards were forced into a corner with nowhere to hide. They simply fell to the ground, screaming and begging for mercy: "Yes! Yes! We are idiots!"

Xie Qing swung his sword, and the wooden sword cut off the hair of the personal soldier.

Xie Peng and Xie Chong hugged each other, trembling.

Xie Qing made a sword flower and kicked away the personal guards who fell at her feet: "No matter whether I am a man or a woman, the princess regards me as her bodyguard, and I regard the princess as my master. You all remember this, I am your captain, not the princess's maid! It is not your turn to tell me how to be loyal and serve the princess!"

Everyone was bruised and swollen, feeling aggrieved.

Xie Chong cried, "Brother! Grandpa! Ancestors! We really don't mean to look down on you or laugh at you! The princess has always been close to you, so we thought of asking you to comfort the princess. The princess is noble, and when we, the rough guys, see the princess, we can't even say a word. We really don't know how to persuade the princess..."

Others quickly agreed.

Xie Qing's expression softened a bit, and he put away his wooden sword. "Don't order me around anymore!"

Everyone lay on the ground, nodding their heads like crazy.

When the voices outside shouting for mercy died down, Yaoying leaned out half of her body and glanced at the corridor, with a smile on her face and her eyes slightly raised, looking delicate and charming.

Xie Qing had a stern face, was tall, and had a square appearance. He didn't look like a woman at all.

Yao Ying called her softly: "Ah Qing, don't be angry."

Xie Qing said nothing.

Yao Ying leaned against the window and whispered, "Xie Peng and the others are listless all day long. It would be good if you beat them up. I think they are much more energetic now."

Seeing that she had no intention of blaming him, Xie Qing's face remained expressionless, but he silently straightened his chest and straightened his back even more.

After being beaten, the personal guards seemed to feel that they had lost face in front of Yao Ying and were anxious to show themselves. They all became suddenly excited as if they had taken some magic medicine and got up before daybreak to practice martial arts and boxing.

Yao Ying was woken up every morning: …

She wanted to have a good sleep.

As the Procession Festival approached, the festive atmosphere in the city became more and more intense. The guards were full of energy and had nowhere to vent. They became curious and wanted to go out to see the grand Buddhist ceremony.

Xie Chong came to Yao Ying and begged: "Princess, come with us to take a look."

The princess was a precious girl. She had been detained in Haidu Aling's camp for half a year. They felt sorry for her. Now that they were in the royal court, the Northern Rong people didn't dare to mess around, and the princess could go out and take a breath.

Yao Ying also felt bored staying in the palace all day, but now she was living under someone else's roof after all, and she didn't want to run into Xue Yan outside the palace, so she smiled and said, "You guys go out and have fun."

She asked Xie Qing to give each person a few silver coins. Silver coins were circulated in the Western Regions, and one silver coin could buy a lot of things.

Xie Qing warned his guards: "Be alert and don't cause trouble for the princess."

The personal soldiers took the silver coins with a smile, made promises, and left the palace together. When they returned to the palace at night, they brought back a lot of new and interesting toys that they had never seen before to entertain Yao Ying.

On this day, the guards got up before dawn to practice boxing as usual. After eating a bowl of naan, they left the palace to watch the excitement.

Yao Ying was preparing to go to Gaochang, packing her bags and checking the accounts until the afternoon, when Xie Chong suddenly rushed into the yard from outside: "Princess, Xie Peng and the others have been arrested!"

Xie Qing went out first and asked, "What's going on? Who caught you? Are you in trouble?"

Xie Chong, with his clothes torn and wounded all over, bowed to Yao Ying who was walking out of the house and said guiltily, "Princess, Xie Peng and the others accidentally violated the laws of the royal court and were sent to the Regent."

Yaoying's face changed.

The Buddhist disciple Dhammaraja was admired by the people for his benevolence, while the regent Sultanahmet relied on killing to shock people. He was cruel and ruthless, holding the power of life and death, and personally executed princes and ministers one after another. The ministers in the court would be terrified when they heard his name, and the common people were also afraid of him like a tiger or a wolf.

Even Prajna and Yuanjue, who were loyal to Tanmaragha, were very afraid of Sultan Gu, thinking that he was cold-blooded and murderous, and had committed too many sins. Although they often used Sultan Gu to scare Xueyanna, they usually kept him a secret and were reluctant to mention him much.

No one in the royal court dared to get close to Sultan Kublai Khan.

They only mention the Sultan's name when they need to scare people.

Xie Peng and his men fell into the hands of Sultan Gu, and their situation was likely to be dangerous.

In those days, Xue Yanna's uncle planned to start a rebellion and force the ministers to support him as emperor. The regent king did not bring any guards with him. He rushed into the royal court with a knife and chopped Xue Yanna's uncle in front of the civil and military officials. He walked to the palace gate with his head in his hand and ordered the left army led by the Xue family to surrender. He was ferocious and aggressive, like a Shura.

Xue Yanna was so frightened that his legs went limp. From then on, he would break out in cold sweats whenever he heard the name of Sudan Gu.

How did Xie Peng violate the royal laws and fall into the hands of Sultan Ku?

Yao Ying calmed down and asked Xie Chong, "What crime did Xie Peng and the others commit?"

The soldiers were all loyal and had been with her through thick and thin. She couldn't bear to see them executed by the Sultan. However, they were in the royal court and should follow the local customs. Xie Peng and his men were indeed at fault. Only by clarifying the matter first could she find a solution.

Xie Chong gritted his teeth and said angrily, "The city has been very busy recently. Many merchants have come to the city to sell their goods during the festival. We heard that the horses sold by the horse dealers in the south of the city are good, so we went there. Who knew that they sell more than just horses..."

His eyes were red, "They are also selling people! All they sell are Han people!"

Yao Ying sighed slightly in her heart.

Human trafficking is one of the most profitable businesses on the Western Regions trade route, and almost all Western Regions merchants sell female slaves. In the past, most of the slaves sold to the Central Plains were pretty Hu women, but in the Western Regions, the captives captured by various tribes, including a large number of Han people, were tied up with straw ropes and sold like livestock.

As the Central Plains dynasty declined, the status of the Han people in the Western Regions plummeted and they became pariahs. They were forced to sever all ties with the Central Plains, speak nonsense, adopt foreign customs, wear their hair in a braided pattern and wear the left lapel, and allow themselves to be driven around by others.

Xie Chong knelt down in front of Yao Ying, his eyes filled with tears: "Princess, Xie Peng and I understand our current situation and don't want to interfere. We originally planned to leave quietly... but an old man heard us talking and suddenly rushed up to us crying..."

The old man had white hair and was skinny, like a skeleton covered with a human skin. He fell at Xie Peng's feet, his skinny fingers tightly grasped the corner of his robe. When he opened his mouth, he spoke in authentic Central Plains Mandarin: "God has eyes! God has eyes! Before I, Zhang Song, die, I can actually hear my hometown accent again!"

Xie Chong and Xie Peng helped the old man up.

The old man asked them where they were from. When he learned that they came from Central Plains, he was stunned for a while and suddenly burst into tears.

"Does the Emperor of the Central Plains still remember us, the common people? We have been waiting for the royal army to recover our territory for decades!"

Xie Chong and his friend's eyes were red and they were speechless.

When the Zhu family founded the previous dynasty, they had thought about recovering the Western Regions, but due to insufficient military forces and sharp conflicts in the court, the dynasty fell within a few generations. The current emperor Li De and the crown prince Li Xuanzhen both wanted to recover Heliang, but the Wei Dynasty was still young and faced internal and external troubles. They did not understand the situation in the Western Regions, so they did not dare to send troops rashly.

The two men didn't know how to answer the old man, and the old man had never expected to hear a positive answer, so he cried in despair.

At this moment, the Hu merchant who was selling goods to Han people lashed at the old man with a whip, and the old man fell to the ground.

Xie Peng couldn't bear to see the old man being humiliated and wanted to pay to buy him out. However, the Hu merchant deliberately made things difficult for them because they were Han people and actually beat the old man to death in front of them!

The old man, who came from a prominent family in Hexi, was captured and taken to the Western Regions when he was young and spent decades as a slave. He still hadn't forgotten his hometown accent. The old man only hoped that the royal army could recover Hexi as soon as possible, but he was beaten to death just like that!

At this point, Xie Chong clenched his fists, trembling all over, trying to suppress his anger and grief, and said, "Xie Peng wanted to save the old man, and he had a conflict with the Hu merchant, accidentally injuring the merchant. The soldiers from the market arrested Xie Peng and his men, saying that they had violated the precepts and should be executed according to the law! They have been escorted to the Regent!"

Yao Ying sighed.

Xie Peng and Xie Chong were too impulsive.

She was thinking fast, and called the other soldiers to give orders one by one: "Go to the storehouse quickly, take some cloth, silk, jewels and jade, and send them to the Hu merchant to ask someone to mediate. Also, go to the market office and ask them if they can pay for the crime with money."

The personal soldiers responded and went their separate ways.

Yao Ying took Xie Qing to the main hall, and when they were almost at the corridor, they paused.

Would a noble and aloof person like Tanmaraka care about such trivial matters? He has been preparing for the debate conference these days and is said to have gone into seclusion and not seen anyone.

Yao Ying hesitated for a moment, then returned to the courtyard and asked the guards on duty, "Is General Ashina on duty today?"

The guard immediately said, "Princess, please wait a moment. I will go and invite General Ashina."

Yao Ying was stunned.

Another guard explained, "General Ashina has ordered that if the princess asks about him, he must report it immediately, regardless of whether he is on duty or not."

Ashina Bisha's tall and strong figure soon appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and the sunlight was dimmed by her golden hair.

"Princess looking for me?" he asked with a smile.

Yao Ying stepped forward and told him about Xie Peng's injury: "My personal soldiers violated the laws of your country and should be punished according to the law, but they are loyal and have been with me through thick and thin. I really can't bear to see them die in a foreign land. Moreover, they were not seriously injured and their crimes really don't deserve to die. I wonder if there is any way to change their situation?"

Bisha put away her joking expression and frowned slightly: "Where were they sent to Sultan Gu?"

Xie Chong nodded.

Bi Suo sighed and said with a wry smile, "The Regent's temper... I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."

Yao Ying's heart tightened.

Bi Suo looked down at her and saw that her brows were slightly furrowed and her face was pale. Her bright eyes were fixed on her. Her eyebrows and eyes were as beautiful as a painting. She felt her whole body soften. She shook her head and softened her tone, saying, "Since no one's life was hurt, it's not a big deal. Princess, come with me. I'll go and ask the Regent for help."

After saying that, fearing that Yaoying might be frightened, he added, "Don't be afraid, Princess. I'm here!"

Yao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him gratefully, and followed him out of the palace.

The place where criminals were executed was at the city gate, which was the only way for all merchants to enter and leave the holy city. There was a constant flow of people and traffic. Whenever the Regent executed a criminal, the city gate would be crowded with onlookers, making it impossible to get through.

Today, Sultan Gu is going to execute a group of bandits who brutally killed an entire tribe. The notice has been posted long ago, and the avenue under the city gate is already crowded with onlookers and the scene is noisy.

Yao Ying followed Bi Suo and rode out of the palace. The guard at the city gate recognized Bi Suo, talked to him for a few words, and let them enter the city gate.

A group of bound prisoners were squatting under the tower, guarded by soldiers.

A whistle was heard in front of the city gate, and the outside of the city gate suddenly became quiet. Two soldiers came forward, pulled out two burly bandits from the prisoners, and took them to the city tower.

The atmosphere was heavy and solemn. After a while, there was a burst of cheers from outside the doorway.

The two robbers were executed.

Yao Ying's heart was pounding. She looked around and saw Xie Peng and a few others in the crowd with pale faces.

Xie Peng also saw her, his face suddenly changed, his lips trembled a few times, and he lowered his head in shame. Then he suddenly raised his head and shook it at her.

Princess, don't save me.

Yaoying did not go forward. She calmed herself down and followed Bisu up the stairs in a hurry.

Several personal soldiers stopped them, waved their long swords, and shouted, "Who are you?"

Bi Su raised his head and said, "It's me. I want to see the Regent."

The guard said coldly: "The Regent is executing the prisoner! General, come back in half an hour!"

Bi Suo smiled good-naturedly, "Go and tell them that Bi Suo is here and has something important to report. The Regent Prince will see me."

The personal soldier hesitated for a moment, turned around to report, and after a moment turned back, made way, and bowed.

Bi Suo and Yao Ying hurriedly climbed up the city wall. When they turned around the watchtower, a strong fishy wind blew towards them.

Yao Ying's breathing became stagnant due to the smoke, but she suppressed her nausea and continued walking forward.

With a gurgling sound, something splashed out and sprayed on her veil, clothes, and pomegranate skirt, wetting her clothes and skirt, and then dripping down.

A chill ran down Yao Ying's spine. His body stiffened and he looked down at his feet.

A human head rolled to the side of her boots, with disheveled long hair, a hideous face, a protruding tongue, and the ground was covered with red and white blood.

After a dead silence, a thunderous shout erupted from below the city wall, and the people clapped and shouted.

The Sultan has just executed a bandit.

Bi Su was startled and turned around to see Yao Yinghun covered in blood, even her veil was stained red. She was filled with anger, pity and guilt, and quickly reached out to support her, while turning back to scold Sultan Gu: "Regent, you scared Princess Wen Zhao!"

Yaoying's limbs felt a little weak, so she slowly moved away with the help of Bisao.

In front of the tower, a man in a black brocade robe stood there holding a blood-stained knife. He was tall and thin, thinner than Bisha, but his whole body was like a fully drawn bow, full of tremendous tension, with a cold and fierce aura, long arms, and a brocade belt around his waist, outlining his muscular lines. It was obvious at a glance that he was skilled in archery and horse riding.

It was none other than the regent Sultan Kumar, who held the military and political power of the royal court. In the eyes of the people, he was a Yaksha demon who had killed countless people and came from the Asura ghost den.

Holding a long knife in his hand, he turned around to look at Bi Suo and Yao Ying. His eyes were cold and empty, like a misty winter morning, when even the hottest sunlight could not penetrate the thick, impenetrable haze.

A ray of sunset light cut across his face, illuminating it. Just as in the legend, it was ugly and terrifying, covered with ferocious wounds, and it was impossible to tell what he really looked like.

A living Yaksha.

Yaoying couldn't help but shiver slightly.

Biso sensed her fear, took off his cloak, put it on her shoulders, and gently squeezed her shoulders. Not knowing how to comfort her, he said in a panic, "Princess, don't be afraid! The Regent never kills innocent people, he kills the vicious bandits..."

Yao Ying calmed down and said softly, "No, I was reckless."

Bi Su was startled, sighed softly, and helped Yao Ying walk to the watchtower. "It's my fault. I was too careless! I shouldn't have brought the princess here. Princess, wait a moment. I'll go and explain it to the Regent."

Yao Ying looked up at him and said gratefully, "Thank you, General."

Bisu's face turned slightly red, she smiled, turned around, looked at the head under her feet with disgust, and jumped to the side of Sultan Gu in a few steps.

"Prince Regent," he pointed at the group of people tied up under the tower, "the Han people there had a quarrel with the Hu merchants and injured someone. Originally, their crime was not punishable by death. The Hu merchants colluded with the market officials and deliberately sent them here. Prince Regent, please don't kill them by mistake."

Sultan Gu ignored Bisa, sheathed his sword, and walked down the city wall from the other side of the sentry tower. His back was majestic and powerful, like a deep abyss and a towering mountain.

Bisha hurried after them and shouted, "Regent, they really didn't kill anyone!"

Sultan Gu did not turn around and said, "Deal with him according to the law."

The voice was dull and low.

Yao Ying listened carefully to their conversation, and when she heard this, her uneasy heart finally returned to its normal state.

According to the law, all you have to do is pay the fine.

Bi Su also breathed a sigh of relief. He took Yao Ying down the city wall, found the soldier guarding the prisoners, and explained the situation clearly.

The soldier found the document sent by the government office in the market town, exclaimed, and said, "General, don't panic. Although these people have been sentenced to death, they will have to be confirmed by the Regent before they can be sent to the city tower for execution. We brought them here today to open their eyes."

That is to say, only those bandits will be executed today, and all death penalty cases will ultimately be investigated by the Sultan himself. Xie Peng and his men do not deserve the death penalty, and the Sultan will not sentence them to death based on the one-sided statement of the government.

Yaoying was now completely relieved and thanked Bisu again and again.

Bi Su looked at her bloodstained veil, feeling extremely guilty. He sent her back to the palace and said gently, "Leave the rest to me. Princess, just wait patiently. Xie Peng and the others will be back safe and sound in a few days."

Yao Ying shook her head and said, "This is due to the impulsiveness of Xie Peng and his men. As a princess, I have neglected to discipline them and I dare not let the generals run around any longer."

Bi Suo said sternly, "Princess, you don't have to be polite to me. You are far away in a foreign land with no one to take care of you. You can come to me if you have any problems. Don't be shy. I am just worried that I can't find an opportunity to help you."

The last sentence was spoken in a deliberately soft tone, gentle and charming.

Yao Ying was stunned.

Bi Su smiled at her and said, "Princess, you were frightened today. Go to bed early. I will come to see you tomorrow."

Yao Ying watched his tall figure go away, then remembered that his cloak was still on his body. She shook her head and turned back to the house.

The personal soldiers came back one after another to report that they had sent the jewels and jade to bribe the government office in the market, and the government office promised to withdraw the petition the next day. The foreign merchant saw the silk and satin they sent, extorted some silver, and agreed to a settlement.

The next day, Bi Suo came to help Yao Ying deal with the remaining matters. Xie Peng and others admitted their guilt with a good attitude. Yao Ying took out a settlement agreement and they were soon released.

Xie Qing punished Xie Peng and several others by making them squat in the yard every day. Knowing that they had almost made a big mistake that would implicate Yao Ying, they dared not argue and accepted the punishment honestly.

Yao Ying did not blame Xie Peng. She asked someone to find the Hu merchant, bought all the Han people, and settled them in a courtyard outside the city.

The dead old man was dragged out of the city and thrown away that day. Yao Ying asked someone to find his body and took care of his funeral.

After hearing this, Xie Peng wiped his tears and continued to squat.

After dealing with Xie Peng's matter, Yaoying was finally able to sleep peacefully.

That night, she dreamed that she was standing on a city tower, and a pool of hot blood gushed out, splashing all over her body, and the blood flowed down the hem of her skirt.

Tick-tick, tick-tick.

A figure stood in front of her, holding a bloody knife in his hand.

Yao Ying didn't dare to move. The man turned around suddenly. He had a face like a yaksha, but his eyes were clear and as green as lake water.

She woke up in a cold sweat.

The author has something to say: Ashina Bisha: My name is taken from Sogdian, it has a lot of meaning!

Haha, Shabi!

Ashina Bisha: My name means a colorful person. It is very elegant, noble and meaningful!

Haha, Shabi!

Ashina Bisu: Oh, oh, oh, you are bullying me!
