My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Princess Zhaoyang spent the next few days sightseeing in the city, which was against the rules.

With Li Xuancang's permission, Chen Mingyuan and the others dared not stop him and could only let him do as he pleased.

Although Princess Zhaoyang was a member of the royal family, she was always confined to the inner palace and had little contact with the everyday life of ordinary people.

These past few days have been the happiest time for her, allowing her to temporarily forget the sadness of her upcoming trip to the grasslands.

"I have never seen my sister so happy."

Prince Kang and his entourage also entered the city; they had been secretly following Princess Zhaoyang for the past few days.

Seeing Princess Zhaoyang so happy, King Kang and the woman in black felt even more distressed.

Li Xuancang dispatched Ouyang Meng to protect her, and Wang Qi also stayed by Princess Zhaoyang's side at all times, so Prince Kang and the others dared not make any rash moves.

Chen Mingyuan then discussed the matter of a marriage alliance with Huyan Tuo and others.

Seven days passed in a flash, and the marriage procession set off.

Li Xuancang personally led a thousand cavalrymen to escort the troops to the grasslands, only then would the mission be considered complete.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Yang looked heartbroken.

"Will we never be able to come back?"

Her little face was filled with sadness, which was heartbreaking to see.

Li Xuancang was leading the way when Chunyan jogged up to her side.

"General, the princess requests your presence."

Li Xuancang gently tugged at the reins and turned to walk to Zhaoyang's carriage.

"General Li, thank you. These past few days have been the happiest time in Zhaoyang's life, and I will never forget them."

Princess Zhaoyang lifted the curtain, her face beaming with a smile, her eyes filled with sincerity and gratitude towards Li Xuancang.

"As long as the princess is happy."

Looking at the innocent and carefree Princess Zhaoyang before him, Li Xuancang felt a mix of emotions.

Zhao Yang suddenly took out an exquisite gold lock from his body and handed it to Li Xuancang.

"This is a golden lock that my mother asked for for me. It can protect me and keep me safe. I am about to go to the grasslands and will no longer need it. I am giving it to General Li and wishing him a peaceful life."

Looking at the innocent and sincere Princess Zhaoyang, Li Xuancang felt even more reluctant to let her go.

"Princess, this is too precious, I cannot accept it."

"General Li, please don't refuse. Consider it a token of my gratitude for securing these seven days for me!"

Zhao Yang handed the peace lock to Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang remained silent for a moment before returning the peace lock to Zhaoyang.

"Princess, this is what Consort De requested for you. Keep it with you carefully; it will protect you."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yang couldn't help but think of her mother, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

Her mother was far away in the capital, and she was about to go to the grasslands, where she would never have the chance to see her again in this lifetime.

"Mother..."

Zhao Yang cried out softly, unable to remain strong any longer.

She was, after all, just a child, a well-protected child who was naive and ignorant of the ways of the world.

"Princess, you will surely see Consort De again."

Li Xuancang's gentle voice rang out, and Zhaoyang stopped crying, though her small body was still sobbing.

"Really?"

I assure you.

Li Xuancang's words gave Zhaoyang hope, while Chunyan, standing to the side, covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, thinking to herself.

Does Li Xuancang's statement imply that he has a way to save the princess from her suffering, so she wouldn't have to go to the grasslands?

"Yes, I believe General Li."

For some reason, Zhao Yang felt at ease when she was with Li Xuancang and had no doubts about his words.

The group moved forward quickly and soon encountered the people from the Golden Eagle Royal Court.

"Huyan Jue of the Golden Eagle Royal Court, acting on the Khan's orders, has come to welcome Princess Zhaoyang."

Chen Mingyuan immediately rode forward and spoke with the grassland people.

Before long, the two teams merged and headed into one, heading deep into the grassland.

They left the territory of the Great Yan and entered the grasslands.

"Hurry and follow them. Whether we can rescue Zhaoyang depends on this."

Following behind the group, Kang Wang and the others quickly caught up, their palms sweating with nervousness.

After traveling more than 300 li, Li Xuancang stopped.

"arrive."

According to custom, the wedding procession must return after traveling 300 li (approximately 150 kilometers).

Chen Mingyuan, Wang Qi, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Their mission was accomplished, and they no longer needed to be on edge.

"We've arrived."

Huyan Jue revealed a cruel and sinister smile.

"kill!"

The grassland people suddenly launched an attack, slashing their swords at the people of Da Yan.

"puff!"

"what!"

"Well!"

"..."

Caught completely off guard, the Great Yan forces were caught off guard and launched a surprise attack.

"You...you all..."

The sudden turn of events left everyone at a loss, and Wang Qi, Chen Mingyuan, and the others looked at the grassland people with expressions of fear.

"what!"

The next moment, Chen Mingyuan was knocked off his horse by a palm strike.

"puff!"

He fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing out continuously. His body convulsed a few times before he died.

"You deserve to die, you deserve to die!"

Wang Qijian roared angrily, unleashing the aura of a late-stage Qi Refining Realm expert, and attacked ruthlessly.

"kill."

A powerful eunuch in the late-stage Qi Refining Realm, who had been hiding in the group, also stopped hiding and went all out.

Li Xuancang was not flustered at all, but was somewhat surprised.

"I was planning to take them away secretly, but it seems that it has saved me some trouble."

Li Xuancang originally planned to leave and then return alone to take Princess Zhaoyang away.

Now that the grassland people are taking action against them, it actually saves him some trouble.

"Princess, the grassland people are attacking us."

Inside the carriage, Chunyan and Princess Zhaoyang were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they trembled with fear.

They knew the grassland people were brutal, but this was the first time they had witnessed their cruelty firsthand, killing people without warning.

As the two were filled with fear and unease, Li Xuancang came to the carriage.

"Princess, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Hearing Li Xuancang's voice, the fear in their hearts eased somewhat.

"Ouyang Meng, protect the carriage."

Li Xuancang shouted, and Ouyang Meng immediately led the Tiger Warriors to surround the carriage.

"Bang!"

Li Xuancang cleared a path with a single punch, the terrifying force sweeping across the surrounding grasslands, turning all the grassland people into a bloody mist.

"leave."

Just as Li Xuancang was about to escort the carriage away, ripples appeared in the air, and a sword aura pierced through the air, instantly reaching Li Xuancang's face.

Li Xuancang swung his palm and shattered the sword energy.

"Li Xuancang, today is your death day."

Three Transcendent Realm experts surrounded Li Xuancang from three directions.

"Um!"

Li Xuancang pondered for a moment, "It seems this is a trap set for me."

Li Xuancang's mind raced, and he immediately realized that he was the grassland people's target.

"Not bad, you can rest in peace now that we've mobilized such a force."

Hu Yanjue exuded murderous intent, his killing intent locked onto Li Xuancang.

From beginning to end, their target was Li Xuancang; a princess was not even worth their attention.

As long as Li Xuancang is killed, the grassland cavalry can drive straight in, invade Liangzhou, and sweep away the Great Yan.

They already knew the current situation of the Great Yan Dynasty, and this was the best time for them to make their move.
