The Golden Family, rising from the Western Regions

Chapter 58 The Princess of Chu

Grandpa Qin Kaishan’s idea was ultimately not realized.

How could Li Xiao be willing to sacrifice Xiao Yanyan, who has such great political resources?

Moreover, there was no fundamental contradiction between the Han people and the Dongdu Army.

It's all the fault of the Zhelan tribe.

So, not long after, Li Xiao personally led a hundred cavalrymen to escort Xiao Yanyan to the camp of the Dongdu Army.

"I never thought you were actually a princess? Or is your brother Lord Xiao, the governor of Dongdu?"

“It really opened my eyes~”

On the way to the Dongdu military camp, Li Xiao and Xiao Yanyan rode side by side on horseback, chatting from time to time.

The tone was also full of compliments and admiration.

Xiao Yanyan was so vain that the corners of her mouth were curved all the way and she couldn't suppress it at all!

"Haha, it's normal that you don't know."

"I didn't want to rely on my brother's name to cause trouble. Although I am a woman, I still want to make a name for myself with my own abilities." Xiao Yanyan raised her neck slightly and said with a smile.

"A heroine!"

“I admire you~”

Li Xiao gave Xiao Yanyan a thumbs up with an expression of admiration.

Princess Jieyou, the modern version of Mulan, Princess Pingyang, etc., these ancient heroic female templates are shamelessly applied to Xiao Yanyan.

Xiao Yanyan's mouth never closed due to the coaxing, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She looked like she didn't care at all, but she was enjoying it very much in her heart.

"This woman~"

Li Xiao has seen through her.

He is carefree, without any scheming, and he cannot help but be praised.

If you give her a few compliments, she will be so happy that she will lose her mind.

A little silly!
But, it's also cute, isn't it?

It is always more comfortable to communicate with such a woman than with a smart woman who is full of calculations.

Isn’t it just saying nice things and coaxing women?
For the sake of the future and the safety of the Han people in Qibao, I will not interfere.

After advancing for a while, a cavalry team appeared in front of Li Xiao and others.

There were not many of them, so the other party sent people back to call for support while approaching Li Xiao and others.

"Who are you?" A small Khitan leader shouted loudly from a long distance.

Li Xiao glanced at Xiao Yanyan and saw her shouting loudly in Khitan.

Li Xiao didn't understand and turned to look at Hu Tu.

"Master, Her Royal Highness Princess is saying: She is the eldest princess of Chu."

"I want to see the garrison commander, Lord Xiao Simo." Hu Tu translated to Li Xiao in a low voice.

It was at this time that Li Xiao learned of Xiao Yanyan's title, the Princess of Chu!
Thinking about the origin of this title, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh, what a family of ruthless people!
Since we already know that she is the biological sister of Xiao Simo, the governor of Dongdu.

Let’s think about Li Xiao’s speculation about Xiao Simo’s identity.

Then Xiao Yanyan's identity will be revealed.

Xiao Wulila, the King of the Six Courtyards and commander of most of the Western Liao army, was her grandfather.

Her grandfather was even more powerful. He was the founding emperor of Western Liao, Yelu Dashi.

His own mother was equally terrifying. She was the third emperor of Western Liao, Yelu Pusuwan, who was known as the Western Liao version of Wu Zetian.

His eldest brother is the King of the Six Courtyards and the Governor of the Eastern Capital, and his cousin is the current Emperor of Western Liao, Yelü Zhilugu.

This identity and background is simply amazing.

No wonder she was named a princess with the surname Xiao.

So what if she is just a princess with no real power?
Anyway, Li Xiao is determined to hold on to this thigh.

Even if Jesus comes, nothing can stop him.

After hearing Xiao Yanyan's words, the Khitan cavalry on the opposite side immediately exclaimed.

"It's the princess~"

"It really is the princess who has returned."

"Hurry back and report to the king."

Some soldiers recognized Xiao Yanyan and ran over excitedly, wanting to welcome their princess back.

On the other side, in the Dongdu military camp, Xiao Simo was sitting on a Hu bed, listening to the report from his scouts.

His arms rested on his thighs, his fingers gently rubbing his stubble.

After a moment of silence, he finally said, "So, these Han people are more powerful than we expected?"

One of Xiao Simo's generals nodded heavily and said, "Although the Han people's attack on the Aslan tribe was a surprise attack, it also proves that the Han people have sufficient courage and wisdom."

"Not to be underestimated."

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

The first thing the Dongdu Army did when they arrived in Jinzhou was to send people to understand the current situation in Jinzhou.

But this understanding shocked the Khitans.

The Aslan tribe, one of the three major Karluk tribes in Jinzhou, was destroyed by the Han people.

The other two tribes did not conquer most of Jinzhou as easily as autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves as imagined.

On the contrary, due to the stubborn resistance of the Han people, not much progress was made.

In short, the situation in Golden State is much better than they had previously imagined.

Originally, Xiao Simo thought that after arriving in Jinzhou, he would have a fierce battle with the Qarluk people.

Unexpectedly, the Han people helped him a lot.

Even Xiao Simo suspected that even if the Eastern Capital Army did not come, the Han people might be able to put down the Qarluk rebellion.

"Hexi Fort Lord, Li Xiao?"

"Haha, quite interesting." Xiao Simo chuckled softly. The name mentioned most frequently in his subordinates' reports was Li Xiao.

A fifteen-year-old boy actually organized such a large night attack and successfully wiped out the entire Aslan tribe.

This couldn't help but make Xiao Simo curious about this young man.

"Was it this Li Xiao who was responsible for the Zhelan tribe incident?" Xiao Simo asked calmly.

The subordinate shook his head: "I'm not sure yet."

"However, the Han stronghold that wiped out the Zhelan tribe did have a close relationship with Hexi Fort and also participated in the raid on the Aslan tribe."

Xiao Simo smiled faintly when he heard this: "Interesting."

"If there's a chance, I'd like to meet this Han boy."

Just as Xiao Simo finished speaking, a personal soldier hurried in from outside the tent and spoke to Xiao Simo excitedly.

"Your Majesty, the princess is back."

"Who?" Xiao Simo was stunned for a moment when he heard the words of his personal soldier.

"The Princess of Chu is back." the personal guard repeated.

"What?" Xiao Simo's face instantly showed shock when he heard this. He stood up from the bed and overturned the table in front of him.

"Aman is back?"

Then, he looked at his personal guard in disbelief, and when the other party nodded, his shock turned into ecstasy.

"Hahaha~"

"Okay, okay~ That's great."

"Aman is not dead, Aman is still alive."

Xiao Simo clenched his fists excitedly and strode forward.

Since the news of the Qarluk rebellion in Jinzhou came, Xiao Simo has not had a good night's sleep.

Jinzhou was destroyed and all the people died, but Xiao Simo didn't care.

After all, once Xiao Simo's army arrives, all the evil spirits will vanish into thin air.

But Xiao Yanyan is still in Jinzhou!

After the Jinzhou Military Governor's Army was defeated, there was no news of Xiao Yanyan's life or death.

These days, Xiao Simo felt like every day was a year long. He regretted so much that he should not have agreed to let Xiao Yanyan go to Jinzhou.

Now it's okay, my sister is not dead, she is back~
Xiao Simo was overjoyed.

He grabbed the collar of his personal guard and asked impatiently, "Where is Ah Man?"

"Take me to her."

Before the personal soldier could say anything, Xiao Simo heard the voice he had been thinking about day and night.

"Brother~"

Xiao Simo slowly let go of his personal guard, raised his head and looked outside the tent, and was completely stunned.

A familiar figure appeared in front of him, and Xiao Simo's eyes gradually turned red.

"Aman~"

"elder brother!"

Xiao Yanyan rushed into the tent crying and threw herself into Xiao Simo's arms.

The reunion of brother and sister is a touching scene.

The surrounding Khitan generals also looked happy.

In their eyes, Xiao Simo is a man of strong will and perseverance who cannot be defeated by anything.

But it was only in front of the Princess of Chu that Xiao Simo would reveal his soft side.

After all, this is his sister who depends on him for everything!
When brothers and sisters meet, they will inevitably confide in each other.

Soon Xiao Yanyan started talking about her whereabouts during this period.

"Oh, you were rescued by a group of Han people?" Xiao Simo said in surprise.

"Yeah, at that time in Beishan, that bastard Dahe Chuluoduo abandoned me and ran away. Many Karluks started chasing me."

"Fortunately, Li Xiao and his men showed up in time to rescue me and killed more than a hundred of the pursuing Karluk soldiers."

……

"Later, Li Xiao led his men to attack Sanhe Fort at night and killed all the Karluks of the Aslan tribe."

"And he also helped me find the knife left by my mother~"

"Brother, Li Xiao is definitely a man of great ability. He is brave and resourceful. He is a rare talent."

"You must help me reward him well."

Xiao Simo held the golden knife in his hand and stroked it gently, as if touching upon a complex emotion towards his mother in his heart.

But soon, he started mumbling the name Li Xiao.

"Li Xiao? Lord of Hexi Fort?"

"Haha, it's really fate!"

Just now, Xiao Simo was still talking about Li Xiao, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye he would become his sister's savior.

Moreover, after listening to Xiao Yanyan's description, Xiao Simo's image of Li Xiao in his mind became more three-dimensional.

A very outstanding young man.

So, he nodded gently, stroked Xiao Yanyan's head, and said with a chuckle:

"Don't worry, Ah Man~"

"Since he is a meritorious person, Big Brother will definitely reward him handsomely."

Not to mention that Li Xiao wiped out the Qarlugs of the Aslan tribe, just based on his contribution of saving Xiao Yanyan, Xiao Simo would never treat him unfairly.

Of course, it also depends on whether Li Xiao is a sensible person.

After all, judging from his actions in besieging and annihilating the Zhelan tribe, he is a wild horse that is not easy to tame.
