When Qi Qihada brought the letter of surrender to Ning Yan, the joy of the Ningguo generals overflowed the sky.
This letter of surrender was not easy to come by. Ningguo really paid a lot for the peace on the border between the Xiongnu Kingdom and Ningguo. It was obtained at the cost of many people's flesh and blood.
Moreover, the letter of surrender stated that after this battle, the Xiongnu Kingdom was willing to submit and regard Ningguo as its superior country and pay annual tribute.
"Inform the soldiers of the three armies about the surrender of the Huns!" Ning Yan said to his confidant beside him with a smile on his face.
An Xin had also heard the news. After hearing it, she was somewhat happy, but more of a cold snort. Especially when she heard that Yelu Yun was the king of the Xiongnu, she became even more calculative.
It was just in time for dinner, so Ning Yan gave the order, "Kill cattle and sheep today to reward the troops!"
As Ning Yan said this, he wanted to hold An Xin's hand, but An Xin shook it off without saying a word.
For a moment, Ning Yan's eyes flashed with something strange, but then he did not force An Xin. Instead, he asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling unwell, Qing Qing?"
Seeing that Ning Yan had given her an excuse, An Xin naturally couldn't refuse. She smiled politely at Ning Yan and said, "I am indeed not feeling well, so I will not attend today's celebration banquet!"
Before Ning Yan could finish her words of concern, she finished her words of comfort and, regardless of Ning Yan's attitude, she bowed to Ning Yan and left.
Ning Yan's expression remained normal, but his eyes were filled with some complexity.
The soldiers standing by also looked embarrassed. The emperor and empress were in a conflict and they were very caught up in it.
Seeing this, Ouyang Guang's heart sank to the bottom of the lake. Judging from An Xin's attitude, he probably discovered something. He must have to escape and return to the abyss to be punished...
At night, An Xin stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance, with the silhouette beside him accompanying him.
An Xin looked at the somewhat desolate battlefield in the distance, and gently said to the silhouette beside her: "Silhouette, if one day, the person you like cheats on you, will you forgive him?"
Seeing this, Silhouette raised his head and replied: "It depends on what the lie is. If it is a white lie that does not hurt others, I think it is understandable..."
An Xin raised a hint of sarcasm and chuckled, "If it involves calculations and hurts your loved ones, is it still worth forgiving?"
"Then it's unforgivable!" An Xin said firmly, but her eyes looked at An Xin with some complexity.
Now that the young lady asked this, she had some ideas in mind, but they were just her wishful guess.
"Yeah, I can't forgive you..." An Xin withdrew her gaze from the distance and said softly.
As the night deepened, An Xin returned to the tent with her silhouette, but she found that Gu Zhaoshang had been waiting for her in the tent.
"Sir?" An Xin just walked in and asked with some surprise when she saw Gu Zheshang here.
An Xin walked in slowly and continued to ask: "It's late at night, sir, what's the matter with you coming here this time?"
"I heard that you were not feeling well, so I came to see you..." Gu Zhaoshang replied, but he saw that An Xin looked normal and there was nothing serious. It was probably because she had been out for a long time and felt a little cold.
An Xin smiled slightly, feeling a little warm in her heart. Although her master was cold and indifferent, he really cared about her and was indeed very good.
An Xin smiled at Gu Zhuo Shang and said, "How can I trouble you so much, sir? If you have any minor problems, I will prescribe medicine to treat it..."
Suddenly, An Xin dismissed some servants, leaving only silhouettes. She asked Gu Zhuo Shang: "Sir, do you know Qian Ji Sha?"
"Qianjisha is the largest assassin organization in the martial arts world and is quite famous in the Three Kingdoms. Of course I know that." Gu Zhueshang replied with a puzzled look on his face.
An Xin thought about the question she wanted to ask, and then said, "Sir, is there any news about the Nine Nether Guest?"
There was something strange in Gu Zhuo Shang's eyes, and then he asked An Xin: "Why are you asking him?"
Hearing Gu Zhuoshang's tone, An Xin had some plans in her mind. It seemed that Gu Zhuoshang knew some information.
Then, An Xin replied: "My disciple is in urgent need of news about this Nine Nether Guest. I hope you can let me know!"
Having said that, An Xin was afraid that Gu Shang would not agree, so she planned to kneel down and beg.
Seeing this, Gu Zhuo Shang quickly pulled An Xin and said helplessly: "If you ask, I will answer. Don't kneel down at every turn next time. Although a man's knees are made of gold, a woman's knees are also made of jade."
An Xin smiled awkwardly when she heard this.
Gu Zhuo Shang shook his head helplessly and continued, "This Jiuyou Guest is indeed as mysterious as the legend says, with a strange personality and powerful martial arts." After a pause, Gu Zhuo Shang continued, "A few years ago, the Jiuyou Guest was seriously injured and was dying, so the Qianji Sha people asked me to treat the Jiuyou Guest. The Jiuyou Guest always wore a mask and refused to show it to others. But when I was applying medicine to the Jiuyou Guest, I discovered something magical."
"What's the matter? Could he be a woman?" An Xin's curiosity was aroused, and she asked.
Gu Zhue Shang looked at An Xin helplessly and said, "The Nine Nether Guest is a man. At that time, I found that there was a red spider lily on his back, but this red spider lily can only be displayed under a special powder, and it only appears for a few seconds. I guess the Nine Nether Guest should not know about this. Otherwise, he would definitely not let me live in this world."
An Xin heard this, her beautiful eyes were filled with wonder. She asked: "Such a secret, why did you tell me?"
Gu Zhue Shang's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible fondness, and he explained: "Isn't this what you want to know? What's more, you are my disciple!"
"Hehe, it's so nice to be the teacher's disciple~" An Xin regained some liveliness and said with a smile.
Then, An Xin asked curiously: "Master, can you give me the secret recipe?"
Gu Zhaoshang looked at Anxin for a few seconds, his eyes seemed a little complicated. He walked over to the desk, picked up the brush, and wrote down the prescription on the paper.
After writing it, Gu Zhuechang handed the prescription to An Xin and instructed: "After you read this prescription, dispose of it. Don't let anyone know."
As he spoke, Gu Zhaoshang was still a little worried, and continued to advise: "Although Qianjisha is only a force that has been developing for more than ten years, Jiuyouke is as cunning as a fox and is extremely good at planning. Now Qianjisha's power is at its peak, no less than that of a country. So, be careful."
An Xin heard Gu Zeshang say this and knew that this matter involved a lot of things, so she said, "Disciple knows, thank you sir!"
