As one of the protagonists of this world, Yan Xiao can be regarded as truly "favoured by destiny". When he really makes up his mind to do something, he will naturally be overwhelming and no one can stop him.

Therefore, after recuperating for a whole year and vowing to avenge their previous humiliation, the Xiongnu were defeated steadily and retreated to the hinterland of the grassland. This time, Yan Xiao even completely ignored the "Don't chase the poor bandits"

This principle was pursued all the way to the Xiongnu royal court, where the Yan family's military flag was planted on the sacred mountain.

The yellow-brown flags were spread out by the wind, and the executioners who had no shame in massacring the city finally showed sorrow. Each of the tall and strong men had tears in their eyes. They made a praying posture and whispered in the Xiongnu language.

Say a prayer.

Yan Xiao had no intention of accepting this unprecedented feat that would shine in the annals of history. He even only showed up at the surrender ceremony in order to receive the sacred object presented by the leader of the Huns.

——The legendary "nine-petal snow lotus" can cure hundreds of poisons.

This lotus was plucked when it was in full bloom and lost the support of branches, leaves, roots and stems. However, it showed no sign of decay. Its nine petals stretched out wantonly, and the golden color seemed to be flowing liquid, gurgling in the meridians of the petals.

Yan Xiao took one look at it, closed the jade box, and ordered people to rush back to the capital.

If he hadn't been involved in military affairs, he might have sent it back himself.

——Can this thing save Amu?

After asking himself, he gave an affirmative answer: Yes! It must be possible!!

Perhaps, it was because...he knew that he couldn't accept the meaning behind "can't".

Within a few days, Yan Xiao received a reply from Beijing.

The letter said: The lotus flower is indeed effective, Mr. Pei has woken up.

Yan Xiao read this passage back and forth several times, feeling a huge joy lingering in his heart, and his eyes seemed to be blurred in a trance.

He didn't even bother to wipe it with the back of his hand. He just blinked hard and looked down again. The following content finally cooled down the hot blood in his head——

According to the letter, although the golden lotus has alleviated the poison, it has not completely eliminated it. I am afraid that Mr. Pei still has pain left in his body, and because of the overpowering efficacy of the golden lotus, the analgesic prescription can no longer be used and can only make people temporarily sleepy.

At the end of the letter, he mentioned that this golden lotus might have the effect of charming people's minds. After "Mr. Pei" woke up, he didn't recognize anyone, and even became manic and hurt others... Of course, this may also be caused by excessive pain and inability to control himself.

…

Yan Xiao stared at the last paragraph for a while, his brows furrowed, as if worried, but his expression finally relaxed: No matter what, just wake up...

——Just wake up?!!!

A few days later, Yan Xiao, who returned to Beijing, looked at "Mr. Pei" lying on the couch, and was so filled with rage that he felt a hallucinatory buzz in his head.

The old doctors were talking happily, but Yan Xiao couldn't hear them at all. In fact, his knife was already half out of its sheath.

Yan Ling, who followed, felt something was wrong at first sight. She looked at her elder brother and wondered what she didn't understand - that man was not "Pei Baimu" at all!!

He was finally more calm than Yan Xiao, and firmly pressed his brother's hand to draw the sword: If he really killed these people, he would have no place to find a doctor to save them!

"Brother, calm down!"

Yan Ling used all her strength to press Yan Xiao's knife-drawing hand, then raised her head and glared at the old doctors who were frightened by this incident: Why are you still standing there?! Run quickly!!

Finally, someone understood and pulled each other out of the door.

Yan Ling was still waiting to persuade him, but his eyes widened in shock. He watched helplessly as a trace of blood spilled from Yan Xiao's lips.

Yan Ling exclaimed: "Brother!"

However, Yan Xiao just raised his hand and wiped it, swallowed the half of the blood still in his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go!"

Yan Ling wanted to ask where he was going, but seeing the look in his elder brother's eyes that wanted to devour anyone, he didn't dare to ask. He just quickly ordered someone to follow him.

——Where to go? Of course, to save people!

The person lying on the bed became Li Tanyi. Where that person is... it's self-evident.

【No need】

Don't worry about him...

Thinking of the instructions that came from his own mouth that day, Yan Xiao's blood surged again, and there was a sweet taste in his throat.

Yan Xiao's battle against the Xiongnu was so swift that before the arrangements of those in the capital were fully launched, they received news that Marquis Wu'an had returned with a great victory.

——Even since the beginning of the dynasty, there has never been a great victory.

Suddenly, the capital was in chaos.

Among those who rebelled, some of them defected in the hope of seeking forgiveness, and some were so heartbroken that they even died; of course, there were also those who were unwilling to give up and planned to give it a go, but these people were retained by Yan Xiao long before he returned to the capital.

The forces in Beijing have almost been dealt with, and the rest are useless...

But if there is the most, it is like the head of the Ren family, who is afraid of Yan Xiao's power, but also reluctant to spit out the fat in his mouth... Both parties are entangled and hesitant, but in the end they do nothing.

…

After all, the head of the Ren family is a person who can sit on the position of the head of the family. He is not completely stupid. Therefore, when his subordinates reported the news of "Marquis Wu'an's triumphant return to the capital" in a panic, he was one of the few in the Ren family who could handle it.

One of several people.

When the news came, the Ren family meeting hall instantly became a mess. Everyone was scrambling and hurriedly expressing their opinions. But if you listened carefully to the content, they were actually discussing how to escape.

The head of the Ren family looked at the ugly appearance of this group of people who were so noisy that they turned red and thick-necked. He slapped the table with a dark face and shouted: "Why are you panicking? You really treat yourself as a dish, but you guys tell me...it's just a move, Yan

, Yan... Marquis Wu An is so rare that he cares about us?"

Listening to these words, it is clear that he is also very aware of his status as a "shield" being pushed out.

After saying this, there was silence in the assembly hall for a moment. Many people breathed a sigh of relief, but soon an old man sighed: "How does the head of the family know whether Marquis Yan will use Ren family to establish his authority?"

After this question, the room became angry and panicked again, and the elders of all clans fell into blaming each other again——

"Third brother, if it weren't for your full support at that time, how could our Ren family be in such a dilemma?!"

"Uncle Liu, what you said is wrong. Although I agree to the alliance, you are anxious to take on this burden... If not, our family would not be unable to retreat now..."

"You damn fart, Xiao Shi wasn't the one who started it all..."

"..."

The head of the Ren family frowned as he looked at the chaos in this room: a group of short-sighted people who have lived as long as a dog!

He ignored these noisy people and leaned back against the backrest, then waved to call someone over. He lowered his head and asked a few questions. After hearing the answers, he couldn't help but frown.

Compared with these people who just want to get some benefits and then quit, the head of the Ren family agreed to be the leader, so he naturally had a plan——

If the treasure of the country really falls into the hands of the Ren family, then the whole world will be named Ren from now on.

I just didn’t expect that the emperor’s son would be so tough-mouthed... It’s been a few days, but he hasn’t said a word...

It seems that some strong medicine is needed.

Family leader Ren thought, lowered his voice, and gave a few more instructions.

The servant took the order and left.

Almost in a flash, the concierge came to report in a panic.

There was a lively noise in the meeting hall, but the concierge barged in without reporting it.

The ugly behavior of the elders of the clan fell into the eyes of the servants without reservation. Many of them looked a little embarrassed. Some people took advantage of their seniority and said to the head of the family: "Que Zhi, these people in your family are too unruly...

…He should be taught a good lesson.”

Patriarch Ren's expression turned ugly, and he was about to be scolded when he heard the doorman tremblingly say: "Family, Patriarch!!! Something bad has happened!"

The head of the Ren family frowned, "How can you behave in such a panic?"

The concierge's expression did not relax, and his voice was sharp and trembling, "Hou...Hou...Wu An Hou is here!!!"

“Who?!”/ “Who are you talking about!!”

Several voices overlapped together in the room.

The porter kowtowed again, "Back to the third master, back to the fourth master, back to... back to the sixth master..."

After a series of lengthy titles, he said: "It's Marquis Wu'an, with his personal guards!"

"Boom!"

Several elderly people couldn't breathe, their eyes turned white, and they fell straight down.

Family leader Ren's vision went dark, but his consciousness was still clear.

He looked at the people who fell to the ground and even felt a little envious.

——It’s good to pass out. You don’t know anything when you pass out...

It wasn't until Yan Xiao's knife was held to his neck that the head of the Ren family confirmed this idea.

"Where is he?"

The voice was low and hoarse, like the roar of a wild animal.

——He? Who?!

Family leader Ren wanted to ask, but with Yan Xiao's expression, not even Yan Ling dared to ask any more questions, let alone him.

Family leader Ren's legs were swaying, his throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't speak at all.

The stinging pain in his neck spread to his brain, and the cold blade seemed to freeze the blood.
