Prajna rode out of the holy city and headed straight for Yunfu City. Halfway along the way, she happened to meet Princess Chima who was returning to the royal court.

The road was covered with dust. The young man walking in front of the convoy had a high nose and deep eyes, was tall and strong, riding a horse, with a long sword on his waist, a peacock blue half-sleeve brocade robe, knee-high boots on his feet, a short dagger on his belt, and a white robe with gold patterns on his shoulders. He was dressed like a general in the royal court.

Prajna went forward and said, "General Ashina!"

Ashina Bisha recognized Prajna and loosened the reins. A trace of worry flashed across her emerald eyes: "Why did you leave the king's side?"

Prajna rode forward and cried softly, "Master Mengda Deva said that the king will not survive for many more days!"

Ashina Bisu raised his head and looked in the direction of the royal court, tears welling up in his eyes and his hands clenched into fists.

Prajna wiped her eyes and took out the letter written by Li Yaoying: "Now the only way to save the king is to find the water moss grass. This princess of the Wei Dynasty said that there was water moss grass in her dowry. Prince Haidu Aling of the Northern Rong took away her dowry. We must take back her dowry to find those herbs."

He explained the whole story in a few words.

While the two were talking, the procession stopped. Princess Chima, who had red hair, brown eyes and a light veil on her face, got off the carriage with the help of her maid. She frowned and asked, "Why do we have to stop?"

Bisu signaled the maid to leave and told Princess Chima about the water hyacinth.

Prajna was so anxious that she was scratching her head: "Princess, what should we do now? Should we try the method of the Princess of Wei Dynasty? The master said that if the Princess of Wei Dynasty had not handled the customs documents for him and generously gifted him with carriages and luggage, he would not have been able to get through the layers of blockades and come to the royal court. He said that all this was arranged by the Buddha."

Although he was angry because Li Yaoying blasphemed the Buddha, at the critical moment of life and death, he would rather believe that everything was really as the legend said: the Buddha was Ananda, and the Wei Chao princess was the Buddha's daughter Modanga, who was sent by the Buddha to test the Buddha.

This means that Buddha's disciples can still be saved. Ananda passed the test in the end, and Buddha's disciples can too!

Yaoying's letter was written in Chinese characters and Turkic. Bisa was a descendant of the Turkic royal family, so she naturally knew Turkic.

He lowered his head to read the letter, frowning and pondering.

Princess Chima glanced at Prajna coldly and said angrily: "Luojia is a prince of the royal court and a noble son of Buddha. How can he have anything to do with a lowly Han woman!"

Upon hearing this, Bisha raised his head, his eyes slightly cold: "Luojia is seriously ill, only the rest pill can temporarily relieve his pain."

Princess Chima sneered: "More than 200 people from my Tanmo clan died at the hands of the Han people. The Han people are the enemies of the royal court. I wish I could eat all their flesh and drink their blood! Luojia is the monarch of the royal court, he will not forget the blood feud of the royal court!"

Prajna thought of Tanmarajiva's life experience and dared not say a word.

Bi Suo remained calm and turned his horse in a different direction. "Princess, do you know why Luo Jia asked me to take you to Yunfu City?"

Princess Chima said nothing.

Bisha put the letter in his arms and said slowly, "I am a cavalryman of the central army. I should have been with him. Luojia was afraid that he could not defend the royal court this time and that you would be bullied by the Northern Rong. He sent me to take you to Yunfu City until he signed an alliance with the Northern Rong and then sent you back. With the alliance, no matter whether he is dead or alive, you will always be the princess of the Tanmo family. Even if the city is broken, Wakhan Khan will treat you well."

He paused for a moment and looked back at Princess Chima.

"Now Luo Jia is on the verge of death. Only the medicine of the Han princess can save him. You only remember your hatred for the Han people. Don't you care about Luo Jia at all? You have seen how he survived these years."

Princess Chima said nothing, her face beneath the veil was as cold as frost.

Bisha rode to the front of the team, called his deputy general, and handed over his token: "Send someone to escort the princess back to the city. You go and gather the troops and wait for my order in Sand City. I will deliver this letter to Beirong."

He turned to his followers and said, "If the Northern Rong do not admit their mistake, I will personally lead the Central Army to the Northern Rong's tent to demand the dowry of the Wei Dynasty princess! The Royal Court Central Army will always be loyal to the Buddha!"

"Be loyal to the Buddha!"

Everyone obeyed the order in a loud voice, and the sound shook the sky.

Prajna quickly followed Bishuo and asked, "Should we send someone to Gaochang to inform the Regent?"

The military and political power of the royal court lies in the hands of the regent Sultan.

Bisha's body froze, and he sighed softly: "No need, Sultan Gu is not in Gaochang... If he were here, he would make the same decision as me. The Buddhist son sacrificed so much for the royal court... As long as I can save the Buddhist son, I will bear all the sins."

If the letter was false, he was sure he could get away with it.

If what was written in the letter was true, he would get the water hyacinth back even at the cost of his life!

Prajna responded, "The Princess of Wei said that she would prepare a list and have her attendants deliver it to the Central Army. If the Northern Rong wanted to evade the debt, her attendants could identify the Northern Rong prince. She was once imprisoned by the Northern Rong prince, and her attendants knew where the treasures were hidden."

Bi Suo raised his eyebrows. He was only paying attention to the water hyacinth and didn't think of this.

"That princess of the Wei Dynasty is very smart."

Prajna curled her lips in disdain.

Bisa did not dare to delay and rode at full speed. In a few days, he found the tent of Wakhan Khan. He rushed into the Beirong camp alone and presented the letter.

Wakhan Khan had just left the Sand City and was preparing to go to Xizhou. After reading the letter, he was very surprised.

When did Aling detain a Wei princess?

Bisha stood in front of Wakhan and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Let Haidu Aling come and confront me face to face! Princess Wei's personal followers are in Sand City, and they can testify that Haidu Aling imprisoned our royal court's guests for half a year! He also seized the princess's dowry! Our royal court has never made things difficult for the Beirong caravan. Even when the two countries are at war, the Beirong caravan can go to the Holy City to exchange goods. Khan, please abide by the covenant and return the princess's dowry."

Several princes happened to be in the tent as well, and upon hearing this, they exchanged glances with each other.

The little prince walked up to Wakhan and whispered, "Father Khan, not long ago, Haidu Aling did hide a stunning beauty in the camp. I heard that he captured that beauty from the Central Plains. I didn't expect that she was actually a princess."

Wakhan Khan's face darkened.

The little prince sneered twice: "Father Khan, Haidu Aling has evil ambitions, don't you believe it? He is not hiding an ordinary beauty, but a legitimate princess of the Wei Dynasty, a guest of the royal court! He has kept it a secret from you for so long, his appetite is not small! Moreover, as a prince of the Northern Rong, he actually embezzled property! Is he planning to rebel?"

Wakhan Khan glanced coldly at his little son with his light brown eyes.

The little prince looked pale.

Wakhan Khan retracted his gaze, his eyes flickered twice, and he quickly made a decision. He looked at Bisha and laughed, "As expected of Ashina's descendant, you are indeed brave! This may be a misunderstanding."

So, let’s ask someone to invite Haidu Aling.

After a while, Haidu Aling came over. Seeing Bisa with blond hair and green eyes and a stern look on her face, her light golden eyes narrowed slightly.

Wahan asked amiably, "Wolf slave, have you ever detained a princess of the Wei Dynasty?"

From the moment Li Yaoying was rescued by Tanmarajya, Haidu Aling knew that woman would not let it go. Seeing that Bisu had come to his house, he knew that this matter must be hidden. He did not deny it, but asked frivolously: "Isn't the Princess Wei Chao with Fuzi now? Why, Fuzi wants to make enemies with the Northern Rong for a woman?"

Wakhan Khan looked calm and said gently, "Wolf slave, I have signed a covenant with the king and sworn not to embarrass his family. The princess of Wei Dynasty admired the king and followed him from thousands of miles away. You detained her dowry. Now the king has sent people to ask for it. What do you think we should do?"

He looked kind, and there was even a hint of smile in his eyes, but everyone present understood what the Khan's smile meant.

Everyone in the tent was sweating profusely.

Haidu A Ling was furious in his heart, but his face was only respectful. Without a moment's hesitation, he said obediently: "I will return it in full."

Wakhan Khan nodded, his face full of smiles, but a sinister look flashed across his eyes.

Haidu Aling looked at Bi Suo and suddenly changed the subject, "May I ask what status the king has in asking for the dowry of the Princess of the Wei Dynasty?"

Bisha said calmly: "The princess of Wei Dynasty is willing to marry our king."

Haidu A Ling curled his lips and said, "Oh, so your king is planning to break the rules?"

Bhisatta stood with his arms folded and said: "The king is a monk and cannot marry the princess. The princess has no request and is willing to follow the example of Madana and practice for the king. The king agreed. This is the Buddha's test for him."

Haidu Aling's pupils suddenly shrank: Tanmarajiva actually agreed to Li Yaoying's proposal that day?

Letting Li Yaoying enter the temple to study, isn't that just hiding a beauty by your side? !

Isn't he afraid that the news will spread throughout the royal court and cause people to become uneasy?

Haidu Aling thought quickly: Yelu Khan only took one look at Li Yaoying and offered Liangzhou as a betrothal gift, so no matter how he tried to persuade her, it was useless. When the princes of Yelu saw Li Yaoying, they were so greedy that their eyes almost popped out.

He himself was also extra patient with Li Yaoying because of her beauty.

Could it be that Tanmaragha was also bewitched by Li Yaoying's beauty?

He really underestimated that woman, thinking that taking her to the Western Regions eight thousand miles away would make her completely despair and then surrender obediently. He didn't expect that she knew Buddhist and now even Buddhist had fallen for her.

Haidu Aling sneered in his heart.

The more this happened, the more he wanted to get that woman.

After getting the promise from Wakhan Khan, Bisha did not bother to continue and left.

As soon as his back disappeared in front of the tent door, Haidu Aling immediately bowed to the Wakhan Khan, his face full of shame: "When my nephew was in the Central Plains, I saw that the Wei Dynasty princess was the most beautiful in the world, so I captured her and brought her to the tent, intending to present her to the Khan. I didn't expect that she had an affair with a Buddhist disciple and ran away halfway. My nephew was bold and reckless first, and then incompetent. Please punish me, Khan!"

Everyone in the tent rolled their eyes.

Wakhan Khan remained silent.

Haidu Aling knelt on the ground, motionless.

There was a deep silence.

After a while, Wakhan Khan stood up, helped Haidu Aling up, and said earnestly: "Forget it, you are also filial."

Haidu Aling was extremely terrified and said, "Thank you, Khan, for your understanding!"

Wakhan Khan patted his shoulder and smiled. "In recent years, the Western Regions have presented countless beauties and treasures, but I have never been tempted. Now he is making a big fuss over a woman's dowry. It seems that you have good taste. The princess of the Wei Dynasty is indeed a stunning beauty."

Haidu A Ling's eyebrows trembled and he sneered: "She is a beauty of national beauty."

Wakhan Khan nodded and said, "Wolf slave, no matter where the beauty came from, and no matter whether you are unwilling to give her up, now that the beauty has become the woman of the Buddha, it will definitely be detrimental to the reputation of the Buddha. This will only benefit us, the Northern Rong."

Haidu Aling lowered his head, a cloud of gloom hung over his handsome face: "My nephew understands that not only can I not stop the royal court from standing up for that woman, but I should also publicize this matter. It would be best if everyone knows that the holy Buddha is willing to perish for a Han woman."

Wakhan Khan nodded with satisfaction.

The father and his son, uncle and nephew gathered in the tent to discuss things for a while, and then Haidu Aling left.

The little prince jumped up immediately: "Father Khan! Haidu Aling is talking nonsense! He concealed the identity of the Wei Dynasty princess just because he didn't want to hand over the beauty! Father Khan is the most heroic man in the world. The most beautiful woman in the world should be sent to Father Khan's bed. Haidu Aling secretly kept the beauty, which is disrespectful to you!"

Wakhan Khan raised his eyelids and angrily shouted: "You are the son of the wolf god, and you have the blood of the wolf god flowing in your veins! How can you sow discord in front of your father like an ignorant woman?"

The little prince snorted and closed his mouth awkwardly.

Wakhan Khan looked around and glanced at his confidant who was guarding the door of the tent.

The confidant whispered, "Prince Haidu A Ling went straight back to his tent without stopping."

Wakhan Khan nodded slightly.

The little prince came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat.

Wakhan Khan glanced at his youngest son and shook his head. "You are too immature. You are no match for Wolf Slave. Wolf Slave was raised by wolves. Wolves taught him how to hunt, and I taught him how to lead troops in battle. He is still young, reckless, and arrogant now. When he really grows up, he will definitely replace me."

The little prince stiffened his neck and said, "I am also a child taught by my father Khan!"

Wakhan Khan rolled his eyes to the sky.

He was a fierce alpha wolf, he strengthened the tribe, raised a group of sons, led the tribe to unify the grassland, and he felt that he was still strong enough to continue the conquest.

However, the young wolves couldn't wait any longer. They all wanted to challenge him as the alpha wolf and become the new alpha wolf.

The strong prevail.

His sons were also wolves, but unfortunately they were too stupid and destined to die at the hands of Haidu Aling, who wanted to become the alpha wolf.

Wakhan Khan did not object to Haidu Aling's challenge, but he could not tolerate Haidu Aling's hidden intentions.

The letter from the Princess of the Wei Dynasty reminded him that Haidu Aling secretly annexed Helan and Beimo, privately stored weapons and horses, and raised private slaves. How big was his ambition?

Wakhan Khan pondered for a long time.

He has to be careful of this little wolf that was raised by wolves.

Today he forced Haidu Aling to return the dowry of the Wei princess. A mortal feud was formed between Haidu Aling and the Buddhist sons in the royal court. If Haidu Aling really launched a rebellion in the future, his cowardly and useless sons could flee to the royal court to avoid disaster.

Wakhan Khan sighed in his heart. The person he feared most in his life was Tanmarajya, the person he wanted to defeat the most was him, and the person he trusted the most... was also him.

A Buddhist is a true gentleman and will not harm his subjects.

…

Bisha came out of the big tent and immediately sent someone to go to Sand City to report the news.

The personal soldiers had already arrived in Shacheng. Upon hearing the news, they took Yaoying's handwritten list and rushed to the camp to count the dowry. The deputy general of the central army sent two hundred people to escort them.

When Haidu Aling saw the list taken out by his personal guard, he stared at the guard coldly with his narrow golden eyes, raised the corner of his lips, and walked away.

Bisha brought people to escort the wedding dowry.

After leaving the camp, the personal soldiers immediately found the boxes of medicinal herbs and presented them to Bi Suo.

Bisha took the medicine, rode the fastest horse, and rushed back to the holy city.

…

Yao Ying and the remaining personal soldiers were still detained, but moved to a more spacious and brighter room.

Mundadeva prescribed medicine for Xie Qing, and she received proper care. Her wounds gradually healed, and her complexion became better day by day.

Yao Ying counted the days, thinking that Prajna should have gotten the water moss, and she didn't know whether Tanmarajava had gotten better.

One day, she was learning Sanskrit with the little nun who was guarding her, when the master's disciple suddenly hurried into the yard and asked her to pack her things quickly and go to Mundadeva's yard to hide for a few days.

"Why?"

The disciple's voice trembled: "Princess, just follow me. This is the master's order."
