In late summer and early autumn, the rain continued to fall. The Nanman Palace became even more gloomy.

Heba Yun had moved out of the prince's bedroom and moved into the main palace. He had been the emperor of Nanman for some time.

Everything should have gone smoothly, but recently the Dali people launched a surprise attack. He Xiaowan had previously developed a set of poison formations to resist the Dali people, and everything has been peaceful for all these years.

It is said that the person stationed in the southern border of Dali is General Weiyuan, the first-rank general of Dali. He is brave and good at fighting, and has been stationed in the southern border for many years. Although He Xiaowan's poison array is fierce, he is not inferior. On the contrary, under his oppression, the southern barbarian army cannot move forward at all.

Heba Yun sat in front of the window, watching the drizzling autumn rain falling outside, and the mocking eyes flashed through his mind again.

It turned out that she was the daughter of General Weiyuan and the Princess of Rong'an County of Dali - Bai Zhiyuan.

After Bai Zhiyuan escaped, Heba Yun still did not give up looking for her. Before her death, He Xiaowan said that she was from Dali, and perhaps she was related to General Weiyuan.

Heba Yun sent people to inquire about the woman related to General Weiyuan, but learned that General Weiyuan had a daughter who had been in the capital. Last year, she was named the Princess of Rong'an County and broke off the engagement with the fifth prince of the current Dali, Prince Yan. Later, she followed the young talent of Dali, General Yunhui, to the southern border. A few days ago, perhaps she learned that her brother was poisoned and unconscious, so she went to the southern border.

When Heba Yun learned this, he was quickly certain that it was Bai Zhiyuan who broke into the palace that day. Although she did not show her true face, her every move revealed her nobility. Although she tried her best to cover it up, sometimes a person's birth cannot be hidden, and he could always find clues from her eyes and words.

Besides, if they were not close relatives, why would she risk her life to lurk in the palace in person to find an antidote for Bai Qiuze?

Heba Yun searched the entire palace. He didn't believe that Bai Zhiyuan could do whatever she wanted in the palace. She must have someone helping her. He executed the nanny who brought her in, but there was no news of Bai Zhiyuan.

She must have had a way out and returned to Dali long ago, so no matter how hard he tried in Nanman, it would be fruitless.

Heba Yun sent people to investigate the Princess of Rong'an and heard that the Princess of Rong'an and General Yunhui had an unusual relationship. It made sense that a woman was willing to follow a man to the battlefield, so reckless, which was very much like He Xiaowan.

Heba Yun knew about Bai Zhiyuan's deeds. He heard that she had learned martial arts since childhood and had great skills. It would have been easy for her to kill He Xiaowan that day, but why didn't she do it?

It must be said that this Princess Rong'an made Heba Yun curious. The more he learned about Bai Zhiyuan's deeds, the more he wanted to know what kind of person she was. Was the disguise she wore during those days the real her?

Heba Yun had no answer.

It was not until the news of the defeat came that he had the idea of ​​meeting Bai Zhiyuan. When he first had this idea, he was shocked. In recent days, Nanman has been gradually getting back on track under his rectification. He wanted to prove that without He Xiaowan, he, Heba Yun, could do the same, but she was just a woman. However, he did not expect that the southern border would be attacked suddenly, and the Nanman army was caught off guard and ended in a miserable defeat.

Heba Yun ordered his men to rectify military discipline, but he heard that not only General Weiyuan Bai Tingxuan, but also General Yunhui Xie Yunsong participated in this battle.

General Yunhui, Heba Yun thought to himself, he is the one that Bai Zhiyuan is willing to follow, what is so good about him?

Heba Yun wanted to meet Bai Zhiyuan, even though they were enemies. After thinking for a few days, he decided to send an envoy to negotiate. He lied to the outside world that he suspected that the war was related to the Princess Rong'an, so he wanted to meet her. In fact, he also wanted to meet her out of selfishness. Since she escaped, Heba Yun's mind has been popping up her figure from time to time, even though that is not her true face at all.

He really wanted to see what she looked like. Was her eyes still mocking? Was she also so repulsive when facing Xie Yunsong?

But today, Heba Yun received a reply from the messenger: "The Princess of Rong'an County of Dali rejected our invitation."

Heba Yun was stunned for a moment, then anger appeared on his face and he asked, "Can you tell me why?"

The messenger said: "The Princess of Rong'an said that the Princess of Dali and the Emperor of Nanman are enemies and it is not appropriate for them to meet."

Heba Yun suppressed his anger and said, "Good! Good! Good! What a great Princess Rong'an of the Dali Dynasty, you are so arrogant."

The messenger observed his expression and said carefully, "Your Majesty, although Princess Rong'an is General Weiyuan's only daughter, she is not that important. Before she came to the southern border, General Weiyuan's strength should not be underestimated. Even if this defeat is related to her, it doesn't matter. I heard that she will soon return to the northern border with General Yunhui. She will not have any impact on us in the future. I think a woman is harmless and there is no need to worry about her."

Heba Yun stood up suddenly and asked, "What did you say? She is going back to the north?"

The messenger was confused. He looked at his distraught expression and said, "Yes, I guess it will only take one or two days."

Heba Yun slowly sat down, and the messenger did not dare to say anything more. After a long while, he waved his hand weakly and said, "You can go down!"

The messenger hurriedly took his leave, thinking to himself, "The emperor's temperament is becoming more and more unpredictable."

Heba Yun sat alone for a long time, and only came back to his senses when the palace servants brought him food. For some reason, when he heard that Bai Zhiyuan was going back to the northern border with General Yunhui, he felt a complex emotion, jealousy, anger, and even a hint of indescribable sadness.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had already gotten everything he wanted. He Xiaowan was dead and no one could stop him, but he still couldn't help feeling disappointed. Maybe it was because he was lonely, and Bai Zhiyuan was the only one in the world who knew what he was thinking. She could always point out his unknown side.

Heba Yun felt like he had lost a confidant, a confidant who never took him seriously.

Heba Yun was secretly sad, but Bai Zhiyuan in the southern border didn't know about it. Even if she knew, she would not be upset. An insignificant person was not worth her attention.

Bai Zhiyuan stood in a daze in the martial arts training ground of the South Border Camp. Tomorrow morning, she would leave here with Xie Yunsong and set out on the journey again.

She was also reluctant in her heart. Now the recovery of the southern border was only a matter of time, and victory in the northern border was also in sight. Perhaps soon, Dali would be peaceful in all four regions, without war, and they would all live the life they wanted.

Bai Zhiyuan heard footsteps and looked up, it was Bai Qiuze.

Bai Zhiyuan smiled at him, and Bai Qiuze stood beside her, touched her head, and said, "Sister, you have grown up. You are no longer the little girl who follows me everywhere."

Bai Zhiyuan paused and said, "Brother, do you blame me?"

Bai Qiuze turned his head and asked: "Why blame you?"

Without waiting for Bai Zhiyuan to answer, he continued, "You go ahead. I'm with your parents. I can see that Xie Yunsong is sincere to you. Since you like him, go ahead. Don't worry about what people say. Your happiness is the most important thing."

Bai Zhiyuan felt a lump in her throat. These were her relatives who always supported her unconditionally in past and present lives.

Bai Qiuze saw her eyes welling up with tears and joked, "Okay, you're already an adult, why are you still crying all the time?"

Bai Zhiyuan burst into laughter and reminded him carefully, "Be careful and protect yourself."

Bai Qiuze agreed to all of them, and then said to Bai Zhiyuan: "You too."

The brother and sister smiled at each other, their minds connected.
