Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 195 I Want to Marry Her

Wolf Owl didn't have much time to discuss this matter properly with Song Yi. He felt that Song Yi hadn't yet shaken off his identity as a prisoner and that the two were on opposite sides, so he found it difficult to accept for the time being.

But it doesn't matter. They will be spending a very long time together in the future, and Song Yi will definitely integrate into this place and belong to it completely.

After he led his troops away, Song Yi paced anxiously back and forth in his tent.

If I don't agree, he'll definitely doubt me; if I do agree, what should I do next?
She felt she had encountered an exceptionally difficult problem: Wolf Owl was bewitched by her, trusted her, and was willing to protect her.

But he forgot that Song Yi didn't need protection before; she was safe with Jiang Lanye. It was he who kidnapped Song Yi and put her in danger.

Wolf Owl's departure lasted another two days.

Song Yi was constantly afraid that the Khan would come looking for her, but he didn't. Instead, her mother came to visit her once and asked her a few questions, which Song Yi evaded. She didn't know if the Khan believed her or not. In any case, Song Yi spent two days in agony.

The owl brought bad news.

They suffered heavy losses and were defeated.

Their morale began to decline in an instant.

As soon as Wolf Owl returned, he was captured by the Khan's men. Song Yi left the tent, wondering what to do next, when the carrier pigeon, a symbol of hope, circled above her head again.

Song Yi took the small note it brought with delight. After unfolding it, there were only a few words on it, written in Jiang Lanye's handwriting!
"On the third night, I will come to save you."

Song Yi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes instantly reddened.

She knew exactly what those words meant. When the iron cavalry broke through the encirclement and trampled this place, she would be able to see Jiang Lanye again.

Is it finally, finally, all of this going to end?
She managed to calm her turbulent emotions. When she returned, she found Wolf Owl sitting on a low couch, shirtless, awkwardly applying medicine with one hand.

Song Yi quickly walked up, naturally took the plaster from his hand, and asked, "Did you drop this while fighting? It doesn't look like it."

Wolf Owl said in a muffled voice, "The Khan whipped him."

Song Yi was somewhat surprised, "Just because you lost the battle?"

"No, this defeat was expected by everyone. I just proposed to him that I wanted to marry you as my concubine, and he almost fainted from anger. He then took a whip and started to beat me."

Song Yi's hand trembled: "Why didn't you ask me what I thought?"

Wolf Owl turned to look at her, displeased, and said, "Because I feel you seem unwilling, you're still thinking of leaving? But you can't leave, I'm definitely going to keep you by my side."

Song Yi silently applied the medicine to him, then asked, "And now? The Khan certainly hasn't agreed yet."

A strange light flickered in his eyes as he said, "But Mother agreed. I knew Mother would agree. She has always spoiled me the most. I am her only child. She would definitely agree."

"Moreover, the Khan will agree sooner or later."

Song Yi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Wolf Owl clearly had made up his mind, and added, "I want to set it for the third day. I will keep talking to the Khan over the next two days. Whether he wants to or not, he has to agree."

Having said that, he gave Song Yi a deep look, straightened his clothes, stood up, and walked out. It was the third day after all—what a coincidence!
Wolf Owl indeed went to see the Khan again. He had just applied medicine to the wounds on his body from being whipped, and then he stood in front of the Khan like this.

The Khan was already having a headache from worrying about him; the whip was still lying on the ground, uncollected. He glanced up and saw that the wolf owl dared to appear right under his nose. Suddenly, he slammed his hand heavily on the table and roared:
"Are you crazy? I bet you'll regret this one day. If she fools you, don't come crying to me then!"

Wolf Owl stubbornly replied, "I won't be fooled. Even if I am, it's my fault. I'm the one who captured her. She shouldn't have been a part of my life in the first place. Since I forced my way in, I'm not afraid of making a mistake to the end!"

"Aren't you afraid that her identity isn't just that of a palace maid?"

Wolf Owl said in a low voice, "Even if she's not a palace maid, she can't possibly be the woman of the emperor of the Central Plains. If I want to marry her now, no one will stop me. The people on the other side don't care about her life or death anymore. The only person who's stopping me is you."

The Khan was speechless after hearing this, and chuckled, "If you want to marry her, you can only marry her as a concubine. In the future, you should still marry women from our Northern Qiang region. After the war is over, do you think she will willingly go back with you? She is from the Central Plains and does not belong to us."

Wolf Owl, however, disregarded everything else and asked, "Will Father agree or not?"

His vision went black, and just as he was about to slap him again, Wolf Owl ripped off his clothes, revealing the wounds on his upper body, some from when he led troops into battle, and others from when he had just slapped him.

The wounds were still fresh, and after looking at them for a while, the Khan ultimately did not pick up the whip again.

"I can't be bothered with you. Get out of here and handle it yourself. Your mother and I will absolutely not interfere."

Wolf Owl stood up, gave him a deep look, and said, "The third day is a good day; then I..."

"roll!"

The wolf owl has left.

Time was extremely short, and there wasn't enough time to prepare anything. Moreover, morale was low at the moment, and on that day, they wouldn't even have anything good to offer as a banquet to reward the soldiers.

So the third day wasn't actually a good day; he was just anxious because he suddenly felt that Song Yi seemed like she could run away at any moment, and he had to act quickly.
Thinking of this, he immediately called the maids over and began to instruct them on what to do on the third day. They were all quite surprised, not expecting their young master to be so quick.
Day three.

As the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds in the early morning, Song Yi opened her eyes and saw Lang Xiao quietly watching her, with a unique set of clothes beside her.

"What's this?"

Wolf Owl said awkwardly, "The clothes prepared for you can be put on when the sun sets. A maid will come to help you and dress you up to look like one of our Northern Qiang people."

Song Yi asked with some surprise, "Red?"

He added, "Yes, this style is the same as the clothes we wear here, but the colors should be the kind that you Central Plains people like, right?"

The current atmosphere is really not suitable for such a "joyful occasion," but Wolf Owl insists on doing so, and there's nothing she can do about it.

Jiang Lanye will come to rescue her tonight. If he sees her wearing such clothes, will he go crazy?

It's not easy to coax someone, and it's even harder to coax Jiang Lanye.

Song Yi pinched the bridge of her nose, feeling a bit of a headache.

No one except Wolf Owl was looking forward to this absurd spectacle.
