Chapter 1397: A small inn on the border
During the half month that the wind and sand had isolated the inn from the outside world, earth-shaking changes had taken place outside.
Emperor Shan handed the defense map of the Fuso tribe to Princess Min'an, who led her soldiers to the border in person. With the help of Xuanyuan Lin's spies in the Fuso tribe, they completely defeated the Fuso people with almost no effort.
The King of Fuso was still immersed in the beautiful dream of overthrowing the Shan Dynasty one day, but he did not expect that when he woke up from the dream, he would become a prisoner of Princess Min'an.
He was forced to kneel in front of Princess Min'an by two personal soldiers. His short and wretched appearance formed a sharp contrast with the heroic and valiant Princess Min'an.
Seeing him kneeling on the ground trembling, Princess Min'an ignored him and instead held three incense sticks in her hand and solemnly paid tribute to the people who had died at the hands of Fuso.
With Shan Chao's military strength, Fuso could have been completely defeated long ago. However, Princess Min'an would feel heartbroken even if one soldier was sacrificed on the battlefield, so she endured it until today.
She stayed up all night and wrote an obituary for the soldiers who had fought on the frontier battlefield. She burned the obituary during the worship ceremony, finally expressing her feelings.
After doing all these things, Princess Min'an looked directly at King Fuso.
The hatred between Shan Dynasty and Fuso began decades ago. At that time, the current King of Fuso had not yet ascended the throne. However, it is only natural for a son to pay for his father's debt.
"Tie him up on the city wall. I want to let everyone in the world see what will happen to the common people who bully me."
Princess Min'an's voice was calm, without any sadness or joy, but it made everyone around her bow their heads in awe.
A few days ago, she quietly came to the border. The generals who were guarding the city and leading the troops were naturally dissatisfied because they saw she was a woman, but now they have already been convinced and have vaguely guessed the emperor's plan.
Faced with the princess who is about to take control of the world, the people here can only look forward to, and even yearn for, her rule to lead the dynasty into its next prosperous era.
The people nearby heard the news that Princess Min'an was going to bring the King of Fuso and a group of Fuso nobles to the city wall, and they waited near the city wall early with baskets of rotten vegetables.
Their ancestors were born in this desolate land and suffered all kinds of bullying from the Fuso people. Now they finally have the opportunity to avenge themselves and they can't wait to cut off piece by piece the flesh and blood of the Fuso people.
The heroic Princess Min'an also appeared on the city wall, looking at the wailing people below and empathizing with them.
Princess Min'an took a deep breath and said one sentence loudly without any further explanation:
"I hand these criminals over to you today. From now on, as long as I am alive, I will never let my people suffer any more!"
This grace was obtained by her when she knelt before Emperor Shan before coming here.
If she brought the King of Fuso back, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial to her reputation. However, the people in the border areas would definitely hope to settle these blood feuds with their own hands.
So before leaving, Min'an knelt before Emperor Shan and begged for this grace.
The emperor, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, stared at her for a long time, and finally let out an ambiguous laugh, "Min'an, you always surprise me. Okay, this is approved. But you have to think clearly, this is not conducive to your future path."
"Your son knows." Min'an raised his head and looked at Shan Huang with great determination.
The wind and sand stopped silently one night.
The news of the extermination of the Fuso tribe has not yet been reported.
Xuanyuan Lin was talking to Shi Li in the house when they heard the sound of a falcon outside the window. He opened the window and let it fly in, and a letter fell from its mouth.
Xuanyuan Lin picked it up and unfolded it, revealing his relief without concealing it.
"Brother is so happy, something great must have happened. Let me take a look."
Shi Li also came over and saw the news that the Fuso tribe had been exterminated. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
Xuanyuan Lin looked at her, smiled without disguising himself, and reached out to hug her.
"Next, is it time for us to clean up the mess?" Shi Li raised her head in his arms, her eyes sparkling and a little bit naughty.
Xuanyuan Lin's heart almost melted when he saw this. He nodded and gently kissed her eyebrows.
"Yes, now it's time to punish the fallen dog."
