Under the control of Princess Yanbei, Yanbei Kingdom has become increasingly powerful and richer than before, especially the development of animal husbandry, which has brought stable and lasting benefits to the grassland. Not only that, she has also trained a group of powerful grassland lions.
Under her command, the army increased by nearly half from less than a million at the beginning. This iron army was enough to defeat any country, giving Yanbei a chance to truly dominate the world. But she did not continue to choose this option.
Instead of killing people, he led his people to live a comfortable life on the free and vast grasslands.
The Qisa Dynasty, the only one that could compete with the current Yanbei Kingdom, had no intention of invading since the battle of Anxia Valley. Although the two countries have not formally established diplomatic relations, they have maintained good trade relations. The war has completely stayed away from the people.
"Mistress, that guy is here again!"
Gui Su frowned, and the boss reluctantly came in to report.
Mai Mai put down the case files he was reviewing, raised his eyebrows, and said funny, "Ghost, you are a king anyway, don't show off your face every time, it makes us in Yanbei Kingdom too petty." The indifferent face, after years of change,
It is carved and refined to reveal the calm atmosphere that hides the heart. Between the eyebrows, the mature elegance of the young woman adds a touch of charming charm to her.
Gui Su curled his lips indifferently, "He runs here every two days. How can he hide his thoughts from us! It's enough to give him face by not driving him out."
"You, you are almost a father, and you are still so impetuous." Mai Mai stood up helplessly, "Let's go and take a look."
In the front hall, Lou Su and Kang Su stood alone, staring at the man standing tall in the hall.
Mai Mai walked in and called softly, "King of Flames,"
Wan Qiyan slowly turned around. When he saw Mai Mai, he smiled heartily and said, "Xuanyun, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful."
As if she was used to his generous words of praise, Mai Mai just nodded slightly.
"How long? Didn't I just come here last month?" Lou Xumi raised her beautiful eyes and muttered, her voice not loud enough for Wan Qiyan to hear.
Gui Su and Kang Su both laughed and raised their thumbs at him.
Wan Qiyan was not surprised and did not offer any gifts. Instead, he walked straight to Mai Mai and said, "The princess should show her kindness as a landlord and treat me, a distant guest, around."
Before Mai Mai could answer, Sansu next to him rushed to the front and said, "Mistress, I'll go."
Mai Mai glanced at them one by one, and the three of them immediately silenced themselves and stood still.
"Okay, Flame King, please!" Mai Mai responded happily and took the lead to leave the front hall.
Wan Qiyan put his hands behind his back and walked past them triumphantly. He laughed provocatively and made the three of them stamp their feet in anger.
After walking out of Zhuolang Fort, Mai Mai looked at him apologetically, "Fifth brother, don't mind, they don't mean any harm."
Wan Qiyan waved his hand and said generously, "When did your fifth brother have a small belly? It's fun to tease them when you have nothing to do."
Mai Mai smiled softly, "Haha, Fifth Brother, I heard that you just captured the Yunyi tribe, why are you here now?"
He raised his head and smelled the earthy smell in the air, "I'm tired, and tired. Come here and breathe the fresh air of the grassland." He turned back and looked at Mai Mai tenderly, "I finally realized,
Why do you like it here?"
Mai Mai cast his gaze on a patch of green in the distance and said An Ran, "Here can make people forget everything, and all disputes will calm down. The sky, grassland, and horses are full of vitality, intertwined into the most beautiful picture in the world. It will tell
You have a belief," he paused slightly, with a hint of emotion in his tone, "as long as you live, there is hope."
She has been caring for this hope with all her heart, looking forward to the miracle that will bloom while waiting. Relying on it, she supports the entire Zhuolang Fort, orders the twenty-eight constellations, and rules the Yanbei Kingdom. She just wants to see him on the day,
I can proudly tell him that as his wife and the princess of Yanbei, she did not disappoint him.
Wan Qiyan stared at her quietly, counting every thought she had hidden in her eyes. In the past five years, she had changed a lot, from the humblest maid in Prince Qing's palace to Yan Bei, who can make heaven and rain with her hands.
Princess, now she is the most amazing woman in the world.
The only thing that hasn't changed is that no one can enter her heart except her seventh brother.
"Xuanyun, I don't want to advise you to give up. However, it has been five years, and no matter how we search, there is no news about the seventh brother. Do you really believe that he will come back?" He knew that his words were cruel, but
, let a woman full of infatuation exchange her youth for a promise that is not true, and the result will be even crueler.
"You should learn to accept it slowly. Maybe seventh brother has already..."
"He will come back!"
Mai Mai turned her head, her eyes filled with determination that she had never seen before. It was the hope that she would defend with her whole life.
"He will come back! He will definitely come back! I believe it!"
Shaking his head pitifully, he put his hands lightly on her shoulders, "Xuanyun, I just want you to know that no matter what happens, I will be by your side. As long as you look back, you can see me." This is him.
The only thing that can be done.
Mai Mai looked at him softly, "Thank you, Fifth Brother." Thank you for his help over the past five years, and thank him for always being by her side.
Wan Qiyan retracted his hand, glanced at the carriage not far away, and said pointedly, "He wants to see you."
Looking over there, Mai Mai lowered his head.
The weather was very refreshing today. The herdsmen drove herds of cattle and sheep to the grass. When they saw Mai Mai passing by, they all warmly welcomed her into the yurt for a cup of fragrant milk tea.
"Seeing you living so well makes me feel relieved."
The steady voice seemed to be trying its best to suppress something.
She turned her head and smiled at him, "How are you doing?"
Her smile instantly melted the icy coldness on his face, and the resolute lines gently pulled out a beautiful arc, "Becoming the emperor who is about to unify the world, sitting on the mountains and rivers, and being admired by everyone; the harem is countless beauties and beauties.
Out of this world." He winked at her slyly, "How do you think I am doing?"
Mai Maisha nodded matter-of-factly, "You are indeed enviable. However, we in Yanbei Kingdom will not be afraid of you."
"Haha," Wan Qiqing laughed loudly, shook his head in the end, and said helplessly, "If I had the intention, how could I wait five years? By then, my fifth brother would probably be the first to jump out and resist. Jun'er,
The grassland is your home, and the Yanbei Kingdom is your stronghold. I will not ignite the war even an inch. Even if I capture the whole world, this place will only be your home."
In the past five years, he has never stopped thinking about her. Any news about her will be sent to the imperial study room in the early morning. So that he can know at any time what she is doing, what difficulties she has encountered, and the surrounding areas near Yanbei Kingdom.
Did Xiaoguo take advantage of Xingxiu's disappearance to wait for an opportunity...
At the same time, he also learned a choice that he must make even if it causes him pain.
Relieve, let go.
"Can I still call you King Qing?"
Mai Mai turned around and looked at him tenderly with eyes as bright as stars, "I don't know what to say to the Emperor of Qisa. I just want to say to King Qing that I am lucky to know you.
There are some things... that I will remember forever."
Suddenly, Wan Qiqing hugged her tightly, "Let me hug you once, just once..." His voice was so sad that it made people feel distressed.
Mai Mai did not struggle, but let him hold her, her hands touching his back and stroking him gently. His arms were trembling, showing his helplessness against his impending death.
He and she still missed it.
Taking a deep breath, he remembered the feeling of her in his arms and her unique breath. Wan Qiqing let go of her decisively, with a relieved smile on his cold and handsome face, "It's time for me to go.
Take care." He turned around and took long strides, showing the domineering attitude of a generation of emperors.
Jun'er, you will always be Jun'er in my heart.
Mai Mai lowered his gaze, turned around and continued walking in the opposite direction.
The distance between them is getting farther and farther.
Today is an important day for the mistress, and today must also be a day for the mistress to face reality. Early in the morning, Yisu has issued a ban, and no one is allowed to roam around the castle at will. Except those who need to be guards
Except for the guards, all the servants stayed in their rooms. Zhuolang Fort suddenly became much deserted, and it was eerily quiet.
From the moment she opened her eyes, Mai Mai's heart was beating wildly. After washing up, she put on the blue dress he gave her for the first time and put on exquisite makeup. She looked left and right in the mirror until she couldn't pick out a single trace.
It’s only with flaws that I stepped out of Cui Xiao Ju.
In front of the solemn and majestic Zhuolang Fort gate, there is a petite blue color, looking longingly into the distance.
This second without his presence, she would always place her hope on the next second. She kept telling herself that he would come back, he would definitely come back!
She couldn't tell how many seconds passed, but she just stood there without moving her eyes.
Five years, he said that he would wait for him for five years. She waited, and never gave up. At this moment, she would not allow herself to give up. However, her heart became more and more uneasy, like a
The boundless huge black hole swallowed her little by little into the terrifying darkness.
From the rising to setting of the sun, the lonely shadow on the ground also moves from one side to the other until it disappears.
He will come back, he will come back, he will come back...
She raised her head in panic, looked at the waning moon hanging high in the night sky, and then looked at the night surrounding her. She responded with a confused look, and the strength she had built up over the past five years was gradually disintegrating in fear.
"You said you would come back, you said..."
Caressing her forehead, which had been hit by the cold wind all day, with some pain, Mai Mai staggered a few steps forward, turned around, folded her arms in fear, and squatted down.
Five years at least gave her a hope. However, if this hope was shattered, she didn't know what to do to support her broken heart.
In the castle not far away, Gui Su couldn't bear to turn his head, wiped his eyes, raised his feet and was about to walk out, "I'll go get the mistress back."
Xinye pulled him and shook his head with red eyes, "We have to face it sooner or later. Let Lady Long release the pain of the past five years. If she doesn't vent, she won't be able to bear it."
Mai Mai fell to the ground, her hands sinking deeply into the soil. The tears that had been accumulated for five years rushed to her eyes like a flash flood. She cried until she choked and cried until her chest could no longer breathe.
"I have been waiting for five years, and I have worked very hard to live, but why don't you come back... How do you want me to live, how do you want me to live in a world without you..."
In the sky, there was his handsome and extraordinary smiling face, and she stretched out her hand to grasp it in vain.
Suddenly, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to God, "Please, if you can bring me here, you can also save him! Don't let him leave me, okay? Even if he dies, please save him."
Let’s send it together!”
I don't know how long she begged. Finally, her body swayed and she fell weakly on the grass.
Her vision gradually blurred, and in a daze, she saw a touch of elegant white walking towards her...
