In the central hall of the Turkic Imperial City in Heisha City, matters are being discussed. The Khan's face was gloomy, and the people standing below were all in danger and kept silent.

"The marriage that was agreed upon has actually been carried out like this? Now that the princess is missing, who will make the marriage?"

Yi Qingnan, the chief assistant, looked panicked, "The princess is missing because of the incompetence of the minister. Please punish me, Khan!"

Qili sneered at the side: "Brother Emperor, you rescued the princess and let us take the blame for poor guarding. How clever you are!"

Tu Li said with a gloomy face: "My daughter has been missing for many days. I am very anxious and don't want to show my advantage. I hope the Khan will issue an order to find Na Yun as soon as possible. The marriage cannot be delayed any longer!"

"You're just pretending, there's no three hundred taels of silver here!"

General Ci Yu was furious, "The Second Highness created something out of thin air and slandered others, and insisted on framed His Highness. You really have ulterior motives!"

Khan reprimanded loudly, interrupting the argument between the two, and then turned to ask Yi Qingnan: "What is Mr. Yi's opinion on this matter?"

Yi Qingnan thought for a while and said: "Your Highness has a deep love for Princess Yun and is reluctant to let go of Princess Yun. I understand deeply. However, the marriage is a big deal and has a bearing on the survival of our Turks. Your Highness should put the overall situation first!"

Tu Li let out a long sigh, took out something from his arms, and presented it with both hands, "Khan, I am willing to hand over the military talisman and be confined in the house to prove my innocence. Na Yun's life or death depends on her fate..."

Forty miles south of Heisha City, the grassland stretches. Adjacent to the desert, there is a Populus euphratica forest. The official road winds through the forest.

There is a wooden house deep in the Populus euphratica forest. It is quiet and quiet, and it is better than a paradise. There is a small lake in front of you, shaped like a crescent moon, crystal clear to the bottom. Under the bright sunshine, there was a man in black clothes, sitting on the ground with a long fishing rod in front of him, concentrating on it, as motionless as a clay sculpture.

There were ripples in the water, he lifted the fishing line lightly, and a small fish flew out of the water. He shouted happily: "That cloud, there will be fish to eat tonight!"

The girl ran out of the wooden house and put the lively fish on the ground into the basin. She was extremely happy and said, "Uncle Beard, you are really amazing! So great!"

Princess Yun had bright eyes, white teeth, long hair like clouds, and her beautiful face made him stunned. She moves like a beating flame, making people feel hot and restless. She is an unrestrained and passionate child of the prairie. When it is still, it is like a calm lake, which makes people feel happy and comfortable. It is not shocking or glamorous. It embodies the innocence of the world and is the soft beauty of a typical Jiangnan woman. Uncle Beard was a little obsessed and couldn't take his eyes away from her face.

Na Yun calmed down, his eyes a little shy, "Have I become ugly these days due to the wind and sun?"

Uncle Beard forced his eyes back, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and said dryly: "You are beautiful!"

"I suddenly liked the blue sky, white clouds, lake water, and the quiet cabin, far away from the noise and worries. I felt very happy spending the days with Uncle Beard!"

In the faint sunlight, the two of them faced each other silently. This feeling of tranquility made each other very warm and comfortable. There was tenderness in Yun's quiet eyes, and Uncle Beard suddenly had an impulse in his heart to gently hold her in his arms.

"Uncle Beard, you say you are my father's friend, but I think you are so young..."

He forced himself to regain his composure and changed the topic: "It's no longer safe here, we need to leave as soon as possible!"

There was a disappointed expression on Na Yun's face, but he nodded meekly.

He rode away from the hut. On the official road, a group of carriages and horses were waiting. The leading young man saluted him: "Lord, everything is ready!"

He tore off the pasted beard and revealed his true face, "Xiao Se, get ready and set off at dark!"

"Lord, my disciple has something to say. You said that predicting the future is just about seeing countless possibilities. The key is to stick to the plan and not make changes. But you are delaying the schedule again and again, fearing changes."

Yin Lishang interrupted him: "No need to say more, I have my own sense of discretion!"

"My Lord, I think your thoughts have been distracted by the love of your children, and your will has been eroded by the gentle land. Have you forgotten the heart-wrenching pain of breaking your hamstring? Have you forgotten that your wives and concubines have been insulted? Forgot. How many brothers have died unjustly for no reason? Only by doing this for the prince can we make a comeback!"

Yin Lishang looked gloomy and said nothing, put on his beard again, and walked away.

He gently opened the door curtain of the cabin, only to find that it was empty and there was no shadow of Princess Yun. He searched outside the door and looked around, but there was still no sign of her. When I was anxious, a crisp song suddenly came from the forest: The beautiful lake is boundless, just like my tears of missing you, they never dry up...

This was exactly the voice of Na Yun. She was singing a love song that was widely circulated in the Turkic grasslands. The silver bell-like voice seemed to have a kind of magnetism, and Yin Lishang walked over step by step as if she was infatuated. Follow the edge of the small lake to the tip of the crescent moon, where the singing of the clouds comes from.

Yin Lishang looked over, his heart pounding. In the blue sky and clear water, the graceful figure of the cloud is reflected. She stands quietly in the lake, wearing a gauze, and through the hazy water vapor, her snow-white skin can be seen at a glance. When the lotus-like arms waved, the crystal-clear pearl-like water droplets flew out, and the long black hair flew out like a waterfall, and the ripples were like white clouds...

Yin Lishang was so intoxicated that he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. When the song suddenly stopped, he was suddenly brought back to reality from the ethereal world. He was a little scared and at a loss.

Na Yun only lightly covered his clothes and walked over with a smile, like a hibiscus emerging from water, "Uncle Beard, since I have to travel far, I want to take a quick bath."

Li Shang tried to calm down and turned away from her exquisite body, "The weather is so cold, princess, be careful of getting sick!"

"When you say that, I feel really cold. Look, my hands are shaking!" Princess Yun stretched out her hand, and Li Shang gently shook it. As expected, it felt cold and trembling. He took off his coat and put it on the cloud's shoulders.

The two of them returned to the hut together, Yin Lishang covered her with a blanket, and Na Yun rested her head on his arm, "I'll take a nap and then set off. I suddenly felt like I was back when I was a child, often lying in my father's arms. , I really like this feeling!”

Li Shang gently stroked her red face, "You have a fever, don't talk, go to bed quickly..."

When Princess Yun woke up, she was still lying in Yin Lishang's arms. It was dark outside. She smiled lightly and said, "Look at me, I slept until dark!"

"Silly girl, it's already early the next morning!"

"What! Did I sleep all night?" Na Yun asked in surprise: "Uncle Beard, you hugged me all night?"

"You had a fever last night, which made me worried, so I had to postpone the trip. Now it's time for us to set off..."

On the official road, several carriages were still waiting.

Xiao Se called Yin Lishang aside, "Kingto reported that Prince Tuli has released his military power and is under house arrest. The second prince has great power and has hired experts to deal with us. The situation is critical, but you are trapped in the land of gentleness. Itinerary After procrastinating again and again, now that we are on the road during the day, it is difficult to hide our traces and the danger is even greater. Lord, please put the overall situation first, it’s time to wake up!"

Yin Lishang scolded in a low voice, "It's not your turn to teach me a lesson! You take her to the official road for cover, and I'll take her to a small road, hoping to escape!" He handed Xiao Se a bag of tips, "This is what I did last night Prepare a backup plan as soon as possible."

The mountain road is rugged, and a carriage is speeding. The mountains ahead are faintly covered with snow, like clouds. The mountains get higher, the temperature drops, and the fog becomes clear. The field of view in front narrows, and the peaks on both sides enter the clouds and slowly gather together.

While the carriage was galloping, the carriage suddenly flew up. The driver leaped forward, his sleeves rolled up, and he took the people in the carriage into his arms. The carriage hit the cliff and turned into powder.

"Princess Yun, you have nowhere to escape!"

Yin Lishang slowly landed on the ground, protecting the cloud with his hands, "Now that you know the princess is coming, why don't you get out of the way?"

The cold voice sounded again: "Unknown young man, leave the princess behind and run for your life!" On the cliff nearby, there were dozens of men in black like phantoms, silently surrounding them.

Li Shang lowered his head and looked at Na Yun, "Princess, no matter what happens, please believe me!" Na Yun's face was pale, but he nodded decisively.

Yin Lishang held the "Shadow-Breaking Sword" high, and the sword glowed with a dark light. All the light was absorbed by the sword's edge. The dark night suddenly fell, and he couldn't see his fingers. He made a secret with his left hand, and countless threads stretched out from the darkness, wrapping the cloud tightly into a dark cocoon.

"Haha, it is indeed the Shadow Control Technique of the Yinshan Sect. Your identity has been revealed!"

Before he finished speaking, the surrounding torches were lit and the brightness returned. "Shadow is most afraid of light, and our fire spells are your nemesis!" These men in black were approaching step by step, holding a torch in one hand and a weapon in the other.

Yin Lishang sneered: "Whether it is a nemesis or not, you will know once you try it!" His black cloak suddenly flew out, like a night bat spreading its wings, and at the same time, his figure suddenly disappeared.

"Be careful, it's 'Shadow Killer'!"

The cloak flew by, and the "Shadow-Breaking Sword" suddenly appeared in the shadow, and more than ten people fell to the ground dead.

The voice in the darkness was shocked: "'Shadow Kill' is so powerful? Are you a direct disciple?"

Li Shang sneered: "I am a nobody in your eyes, insignificant!"

The man also responded coldly: "Those minions are here to attract you so that I can get close to the princess. Are you still proud of yourself?"

Li Shang took a breath of cold air and looked at the dark cocoon, hanging on the stone wall more than ten feet high, with a fiery red net covering it, which was particularly conspicuous.

"My 'fire veins' have spread all over your 'shadow cocoon'. When I activate the spell and the cocoon burns out, I wonder if the princess will still be fine?"

The panic flashed across Li Shang's face, "You don't have to scare me, Qili wants the princess to marry and won't hurt her at all!"

"It's a pity that our 'Jinlou' only knows how to kill people and is not good at rescuing people. If the princess is injured and disfigured, the client may understand."

"You dare?" Li Shang shouted sharply.

"Whether you dare or not, you can wait and see!" As soon as he finished speaking, the "Fire Vein" light became brighter and brighter, like a red furnace rod, and the "Shadow Cocoon" couldn't bear it and began to emit black ash...
