The prince returned to the military camp, no longer worried, but with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the prince no longer had the sad face he had in the past few days, Yuan Qing asked jokingly, "Did you meet your grandson's wife?"

"Yes! I saw her sitting by the campfire, eating meat and drinking wine. She was neither locked up nor punished. She was living a good life. I was completely relieved."

Hearing this, Yuan Qing's face was full of disbelief. He had often fought with the Hu people before, and many of his soldiers and generals had been captured by them.

If you fall into the hands of the barbarians, you will be skinned alive even if you don't die. Why did He Shulan change her attitude when it came to her? "Are you sure that person is her?"

"determine."

Yuan Qing was a little unsure. Were the people he had fought with in the past really the Hu people from the Tiger Tribe?

After making sure that He Shulan was fine, the prince went to bed early.

……

After dinner, He Shulan sang and danced around the campfire with the tribesmen.

We didn't go back to the tent to sleep until the moon rose high in the sky.

the next day.

He Shulan got up early and walked out of the tent. Almost all the children of the Tiger Tribe were there.

Many pairs of eyes looked at He Shulan reluctantly.

He Shulan also likes it here. Life here is very comfortable, but she doesn't belong here and wants to go back to the capital: "Thank you for coming to see me off."

"Aunt, you must come back to see us when you have time."

He Shulan left here and it was impossible for her to come back. In order not to make the children sad, she could only say something against her will: "Okay, I will come back to see you when I have time."

Under the gaze of the children, He Shulan followed the leader and left the Tiger Tribe, accompanied by the fifth elder and the great elder.

The leader said, "You don't have to follow me to exchange hostages. It's safe and I will be back soon."

"We are still worried. There will be no gentlemanly principles on the battlefield. If anything happens, we can help you." The great elder casually said a few perfunctory words to the leader.

The leader didn't think much and led his soldiers to the border.

The Prince and General Li had already been waiting.

The leader was about to release He Shulan.

The Great Elder grabbed him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? They haven't released the hostages yet." Then he turned his head and looked at the general: "In order to show your sincerity, you should release the hostages first."

General Li is not a fool. He will not lose his mind because of others' flattery: "Sincerity is mutual. Before I let you release the people, shouldn't you release them first?"

"It was you who came to us and asked for hostage exchange, so you should release the hostages first." The Great Elder did not give in and still asked General Li to release the hostages first.

This made General Li frown. There was no problem in releasing the hostages first, but the problem was what if the Hu people refused to release them after he released them first?

This put him in a dilemma.

The great elder who had been waiting for a long time, but didn't see the recovery, started to get impatient: "Have you made up your mind?"

General Li did not dare to make a decision on his own because the person who was kidnapped was not his wife, but the wife of the prince.

Turning his head to look at the prince: "What should I do?"

The prince hesitated for a while, and just in case, he asked another team of soldiers to sneak past and hide in the bushes.

The Hu people were not trustworthy, so they could immediately start to rob people. After arranging everything, they said to General Li, "Let's release the people first."

After receiving the reply, General Li did as the prince said.

The fourth elder, whose chains were untied, looked at General Li proudly and walked across the border line in a heroic and confident manner.

This made General Li very angry.

Wait until the fourth elder comes over.

The leader was ready to let He Shulan go.

He was stopped by the Great Elder again: "I don't agree to release the Princess."

The leader's expression changed drastically: "This is the condition we agreed on before. If you don't release them now, it will cause a war."

"Fight if you want. I'm not afraid of them." The elder said indifferently.

"That won't work." The leader disagreed: "Although we are at war, we still have to keep our word. Otherwise, who will trust us in the future?"

The elder advised: "We will not deal with them. If they don't keep their promise, then they won't keep their promise. Reputation is not important."

"It still doesn't work." The leader thought about the days He Shulan had been in the tribe, teaching the children to read and write every day. For the children's sake, he had to let He Shulan go.

The Great Elder completely lost his patience: "I have the final say on this matter. I will bear all the consequences except for what happens."

Dragging He Shulan back.

He Shulan kept struggling: "We agreed to exchange hostages, how can you go back on your word?"

The Great Elder shouted fiercely, "Shut up."

The prince realized that the Hu people were deceiving them and immediately rode after them.

The video soldiers who had been hiding in the bushes in advance rushed out from all directions and shouted, "Quickly release the Princess."

“Don’t even think about it.” The great elder immediately ordered the soldiers to fight.

The two sides were caught in a melee.

Yuan Qing was afraid that the prince would get hurt, so he stayed by his side the whole time.

Moreover, the prince wanted to save He Shulan, so he rushed forward with his sword in hand, regardless of the danger.

In the chaos, he rescued He Shulan. He held He Shulan in his arms and protected her from danger.

After the people were rescued, the prince did not stay and shouted, "Retreat."

The well-trained soldiers retreated like a flood.

When He Shulan was rescued, the elder shouted angrily, "Bring her back to me."

The Hu soldiers immediately gave chase.

The leader led the soldiers and stood there, looking quietly in the direction where He Shulan left.

The soldiers under his command stepped forward and asked, "Aren't we standing here and not going up to help the Great Elder?"

"No, I didn't go. Yesterday I had an agreement with General Li that we would release each other's hostages. It was the Great Elder who broke his promise. I hope the Princess can escape the Great Elder's pursuit." As he said that, he shook the reins in his hand and turned back to the Tiger Tribe.

The soldiers hurried to follow.

He Shulan was dizzy while sitting on the horse. She really couldn't bear it anymore. Thinking that she was running for her life, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart.

The Hu people pursued him relentlessly, and the prince had no way to escape for a short time. He could only ride around in the jungle on horseback.

He had to take care of He Shulan in his arms and couldn't do anything.

The great elder who was chasing after him saw the prince running farther and farther away, so he pulled the bow and arrow in his hand, and with a whoosh, the arrow shot at the horse the prince was riding.

The horse felt pain, raised its front hooves, and neighed loudly, throwing the Prince and He Shulan off the horse.

The prince was rolling on the grass holding He Shulan, but they didn't expect that there was a cliff in front of them. They both rolled down accidentally.

He hugged He Shulan tightly, and they both suddenly fell into the water. The splashing water separated them.

Seeing He Shulan being washed down by the river, the prince ran over, grabbed He Shulan's hand, and dragged him to the shore with force.

The two men lay on the ground, panting, and it took them a long time to come to their senses.
