Lying on the bed at night, Wen Yuan thought over and over what Heiying said.
He said he could teach himself how to practice. Is that true?
He took out the pills from his pouch, put it under his nose and smelled it for a while. It seemed to have the fragrance of various herbs.
But she still couldn't believe Heiying's words and kept the pills well.
After she fell asleep, the dark shadow appeared in her room again.
Sitting beside Wen Yuan's bed, he gently stroked her cheek with his hand, "Young Master...it doesn't matter. It's not that you don't have spiritual roots, but that spiritual roots are too rare. In order to avoid death, Master has to hide them for you... "
After saying that, the black shadow left without saying a word and came to the place where the eldest princess lived.
At this time, the eldest princess is sitting on the bed studying, and Shanlu Khan will test her knowledge tomorrow.
The black shadow had no intention of hiding, and stood beside her bed staring directly at the eldest princess.
"Ah! Someone is coming!" The eldest princess shouted loudly, but no one responded.
The black shadow also sat down next to her bed, but without the tenderness just now, "Everyone outside is stunned by me. No matter how you call, no one will answer you."
The eldest princess couldn't see the shadow's appearance at all, and couldn't tell whether he was a boy or a girl from his voice, so she could only huddle in the corner and ask him what he wanted.
"What do I want? Hehehehe——" the black shadow chuckled, the laughter was like a ghost, "I want to take your life."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to strangle the eldest princess's neck, but at the last moment he let go, "That's all, I'll spare your life, otherwise..."
Otherwise, there will be people going around claiming that Wen Yuan, the disaster star, killed their princess.
But the black mark on the eldest princess's neck could not be removed. No matter how expensive bath beans she used to wash it, it was always black and looked extremely scary.
"Be safe, or I will kill you next time." The black shadow disappeared out of thin air, and it took a while for the princess to dare to look around.
With the threat of the black shadow, the eldest princess really calmed down and stopped bringing people to trouble Wen Yuan. She stayed in her room every day.
This also brought Wen Yuan a rare peaceful day.

The team from the Dragon Kingdom rushed to Keqi as quickly as possible, and hundreds of people came, all of whom were helping Keqi rebuild the palace.
"As soon as the emperor received the letter from the princess, he announced that I had entered the palace. How is the princess doing in all this? Are you still used to it?" The old man was once a carpenter in the palace, and many famous carpenters in the Dragon Kingdom are his apprentices. .
Wen Yuan was very friendly when he saw people from his hometown, "Wang Carpenter, everything is fine, but it's hard to avoid being homesick if you are too far away from home."
"Hahahahaha -" the old man stroked his beard, "It's like this. When I was young, I also loved to travel, but when I go out, I miss home."
Shanlu Khan was a good man and had arranged everything for these skilled craftsmen from the Dragon Kingdom. Everything good would be used first by them.
This also allowed Wen Yuan to see the future of long-term friendship between Long Guo and Ke Qi.
I just don’t know what Danli’s people are doing in such a difficult time...
Following closely behind the Longguo convoy was the Danli cavalry.
The man on the horse threw a secret letter at the feet of Shanlu Khan, "Our king said that he wants to make a deal with you, Shanlu Khan."
The man's attitude was very arrogant, and he did not take Shanlu Khan seriously at all, let alone dismount from his horse and salute.
Wen Yuan could probably guess what King Dan Li wanted.
It's nothing more than taking advantage of the situation. If Shanlu Khan disagrees, he will start a war.
Nowadays, a huge amount of money will be spent to rebuild the Keqi Palace. If Dan Li attacks at this time, Shanlu Khan will have no means to support him.
Wen Yuan felt that this was a good opportunity to establish a long-term relationship with Ke Qi, so he took the initiative to stand up and try to resolve the embarrassment.
"It seems that this general is coming to Keqi for the first time and he still doesn't understand the etiquette and rules here. A simple Khan has to dismount from his horse and salute."
But the man was a stupid warrior, and he still couldn't tell that Wen Yuan was speaking for him. He straightened his back and asked more proudly on the horse: "Where are you from, mother-in-law? Do you have room to interrupt when a man is talking?" "
"How presumptuous! This is Princess Xianyang of our Dragon Kingdom! Why don't you get off your horse and kneel down?" Wang Carpenter looked shaky just now, but now he is full of energy when he teaches others.
When the general heard that she was the princess of the Dragon Kingdom, her arrogance subsided a lot and she was no longer as rude as before.
In order to avoid Shanlu Khan's embarrassment, Wen Yuan took the initiative to pick up the letter on the ground and opened it without asking.
What it probably says is that Shanlu Khan was asked to exchange the city for their Danli people to help rebuild.
What a beautiful thought, someone who wants to take over other people's cities.
"Please go back and tell your king that the Dragon Kingdom has sent people and there is no need for Dan Li's people." Wen Yuan tore up the letter and threw it into the air.
The general seemed to have been greatly insulted, but it was true that Wen Yuan was insulting him, "You!"
But he thought about it carefully and decided not to offend the people of the Dragon Kingdom. Instead, he pointed the finger at Shanlu Khan, "Anyway, our king said, if you don't agree to his deal, don't blame us Dan Li for doing anything." !”
Shanlu Khan was also a stubborn person. When his temper got angry, he directly drew out his two swords and cut off the general's horse legs. "I am not threatened by you Dan Li. I tell you, the king, you can come if you want. We Keqi will not cause trouble, but we will." Don’t be afraid of trouble!”
"Don't give me a toast and you'll be fined with wine!" The general fell off his horse and was beaten to death. He looked embarrassed and said harsh words.
Wen Yuan was thinking about how to resolve this dispute, and finally decided to come forward in person, "King Danli is really good at choosing the time. He has to choose when I am here to declare war. I know that the grudges between you in the desert are deep. I don't know. I thought it was you, Dan Li, who was dissatisfied with me."
These words were indeed useful. The envoy, who had been silent in the soft sedan behind, heard the words and immediately got out of the sedan.
"The princess is from the Dragon Kingdom after all. The problems between us in the desert have nothing to do with you, right?" The envoy arranged his clothes and looked down upon Wen Yuan.
"How come it has nothing to do with me?" Wen Yuan stepped forward and strangled a bug on his shoulder, with a stern look on his face, "The emperor had already intended to restore old friendship with Ke Qi. If I remember correctly, it was because of Dan Li's appearance that he Is that what separated Long Guo and Ke Qi?"
Wen Yuan's words made the envoy speechless. He blew his beard and stared, but there was nothing he could do about Wen Yuan.
"Khan, you will soon know that the sincerity of a big country is far greater than that of some small and treacherous countries."
Her words clearly disgusted Messenger Dan Li, but there was nothing a man could do to her. Anyone who dared to touch the niece of the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom would really not want to live.
*
However, in just a few days, the palace has begun to take shape, thanks to these skilled craftsmen from the Dragon Kingdom.
Shanlu Khan was so moved that all his innermost thoughts came out, "To be honest, when you first came here, I thought you were looking for trouble, but I didn't expect that you helped me such a big favor."
Wen Yuan would not tell him that his original purpose of coming to Keqi was indeed to cause trouble.
But she also understands that turning enemies into friends is always the best policy.
In particular, Keqi has strong soldiers and horses, and the soldiers here are brave and good at fighting. If the Dragon Kingdom needs anything in the future, such allies will definitely not let them down.
"What did Khan say? Isn't mutual benefit and win-win between our two countries the best? Besides, as a powerful country, the Dragon Kingdom will definitely not let Keqi suffer."
How could Shanlu Khan not understand these truths, but a king always has ambitions and is unwilling to surrender.
But now that I think about it, it seems that it would be good to keep your head down.
"Besides, establishing diplomatic relations with the Dragon Kingdom will not be like Nanata, who has to be humble in front of the Dragon Kingdom. It will be a completely equal relationship."
This sounds nice, but who knows whether it is actually the case.
On the same day, Wen Yuan wrote another letter and sent it to Longguo, mentioning Dan Li's provocation today.
For Wen Yuan, this is already a great deal of sincerity.
*
After staying in Keqi for three full months, Wen Yuan became tanned, and even his words had a bit of the flavor of their place.
"Is King Danli quite manic?" She was not idle during this period and arranged for spies to go to Danli.
Now beside her are the spies carefully selected by the Dragon Kingdom.
The man had an unattractive appearance and a stooped figure, but the more a person looked like this, the less likely he would be noticed.
"Isn't that true? I heard that a lot of rare antiques were broken." There were wrinkles on his face when he laughed.
Wen Yuan liked hearing this kind of news and smiled proudly, "But I've noticed some new faces coming to the palace recently. You should inquire carefully to see if they were arranged there."
"Yes." After saying that, the man put on his hood and disappeared into the palace.
Wen Yuan was about to call Chunhua, but unexpectedly someone stabbed him in the back.
The knife was inserted very deep, and Wen Yuan could feel the man covering his mouth. He was very strong, but he was not tall.
Chunhua waited in the distance for a long time without seeing anyone come back. She realized something might have happened and hurried to the place Wen Yuan had agreed with her.
When she went there, she only saw Wen Yuan lying in a pool of blood and his face turned pale. Chunhua cried on the spot, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming quickly!"
However, this location was too remote and no maids passed by. Chunhua had no choice but to blow Wen Yuan's whistle to call the eagle.
Hai Dongqing flew in from a distance, smelled the smell of blood on the ground, stopped beside Wen Yuan and arched his head, then flew to a high place at the fastest speed and circled, making chaotic screams.
The shrill cry attracted the attention of everyone in the palace, but no one knew what he was going to do.
Only Shen Huaiyan noticed the clues about the situation and reached out to call Hai Dongqing.
Hai Dongqing only stayed for a moment before flying into the air, flapping his wings and screaming in the air, and then flew in one direction.
Shen Huaiyan followed closely behind him, and then he discovered Wen Yuan lying on the ground with almost no signs of life.
"Yuan Yuan!" The man immediately put Wen Yuan on his back and contacted Chi Zhaoyue using a thousand-mile voice transmission.
The doctor in the dormitory was busy, pouring out basins of blood and water, "The princess was injured by a sharp object, and the sharp object was probably smeared with medicine to prevent the wound from healing, otherwise the bleeding would not have been stopped!"
Seeing that the doctor was helpless, Shen Huaiyan sternly kicked out everyone outside Zhaoyue in Chuchun Huachi.
"You can't be..." Chi Zhaoyue understood what he was going to do, but it was his treasure. "Have you thought about it?"
