In the following days, Huyan Duoer took good care of Ying Yuan. She changed his medicine, fed him, and even sang for him. Although Ying Yuan was cold to her on the surface, he gradually developed a liking for her deep in his heart.

This Xiongnu princess was not as barbaric and rude as he imagined, but gentle, considerate and empathetic. Her appearance was like a clear spring in the desert, nourishing Ying Yuan's dry heart.

One night, Huyan Duoer came to change Ying Yuan's bandages as usual. She carefully unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his strong chest. Ying Yuan's wound had begun to scab over, but it was still shocking.

"Does it hurt?" Huyan Duoer asked softly.

"Not bad." Ying Yuan replied indifferently.

Huyan Duoer gently applied the ointment to him. Her fingers were soft and warm, and they brushed across Ying Yuan's skin, making him feel numb. He closed his eyes involuntarily, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

"Your injury will heal soon," Huyan Duo'er's voice was as gentle as water, "When you are well, I will let you go back."

Ying Yuan opened his eyes and looked at her, "Will you really let me go back?"

Huyan Duoer nodded, "I keep my word."

Ying Yuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Why are you so nice to me?"

Huyan Duoer smiled and said, "Because I like you."

Ying Yuan looked at her with complicated eyes. He knew that Huyan Duoer's feelings for him were sincere, but this could not change their positions.

"Duo'er," Ying Yuan called her name, "you and I are enemies after all."

Huyan Duoer's eyes dimmed, "I know, but I still hope you can be safe."

Ying Yuan sighed and said nothing more.

A few days later, Ying Yuan's injuries had basically healed, and he decided to leave here and return to his country.

"Are you leaving?" Huyan Duoer looked at Ying Yuan, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Ying Yuan nodded, "Yes, I should go back."

Huyan Duoer's eyes were red, "Will you come back?"

Ying Yuan looked at her, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Maybe."

He turned and left without looking back. He knew that there might never be any result between him and Huyan Duoer.

After returning to Daqin, Ying Yuan immediately set about reorganizing his army and preparing to attack the Xiongnu again. He knew that the war between him and the Xiongnu was not over yet.

He stood on the city wall, looking at the grassland in the distance, his heart filled with lofty ambitions.

"I will definitely conquer this land!"

At the same time, Huyan Duoer stood in the Xiongnu camp, looking at the Qin city in the distance, her heart full of worry. She knew that Ying Yuan would definitely come back, and their fates would be intertwined again.

On a dark and windy night, Ying Yuan sneaked into the Xiongnu camp secretly. His purpose was not to start a war, but to...

Ying Yuan sneaked into the Xiongnu camp not to kill or destroy, but to find Huyan Duoer. He avoided patrolling soldiers along the way, and with his extraordinary martial arts and familiarity with the terrain, he sneaked into Huyan Duoer's tent quietly.

Inside the tent, the dim oil lamp was emitting a weak light. Huyan Duoer was sitting at the table, staring at the map. Her brows were furrowed, as if she was thinking about some difficult problem. Ying Yuan's sudden appearance startled her.

"You... why are you here?" Huyan Duoer asked in surprise, with a hint of panic in her tone.

Ying Yuan looked at her with complicated eyes, "I came to see you."

Huyan Duoer stood up and walked in front of him. "Are you crazy? What if you are discovered..."

"I'm not afraid," Ying Yuan interrupted her, "I just want to see you." Huyan Duoer looked at him, her eyes full of worry, "You should leave, it's too dangerous here."

Ying Yuan did not move, but just looked at her quietly. His eyes were full of tenderness and longing.

Huyan Duoer felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and lowered her head, "You really shouldn't have come."

Ying Yuan reached out and lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him, "Duo'er, I miss you."

Huyan Duo'er's heartbeat quickened, and she felt her cheeks getting hot. She wanted to push him away, but she was reluctant.

"You..." She was about to speak when Ying Yuan suddenly hugged her in his arms.

"Don't talk," Ying Yuan whispered in her ear, "Let me hold you for a while."

Huyan Duoer did not struggle, she closed her eyes and felt the warmth of Ying Yuan. At this moment, she forgot the war, the hatred, and everything.

The two of them just hugged each other quietly, as if time had stopped. After an unknown amount of time, Ying Yuan slowly let her go.

"I have to go," Ying Yuan looked at her, his eyes full of reluctance, "Take care."

Huyan Duoer nodded, tears welling up in her eyes.

Ying Yuan turned and left, disappearing into the night. Huyan Duoer stood there, unwilling to leave for a long time.

After Ying Yuan returned to Daqin, he did not start a war immediately. He began to develop the economy and improve people's livelihood. He knew that only when the country was strong and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment could the Xiongnu be truly conquered.

He worked hard to govern the country, was diligent in government and loved the people. Under his rule, the Qin Dynasty became increasingly powerful. The people were grateful to him and called him "the greatest emperor of all time."

However, deep in Ying Yuan's heart, he could never forget Huyan Duoer. He often thought of her in the Xiongnu camp, her gentle eyes, and her warm embrace.

He knew that his feelings for Huyan Duoer had gone beyond hostility. He fell in love with her, deeply in love with her.

One day, Ying Yuan received a letter from the Xiongnu. The letter was written by Huyan Duoer.

In the letter, Huyan Duoer expressed her longing for Ying Yuan and hoped that he would give up the war and live a peaceful life with her.

After reading the letter, Ying Yuan was full of contradictions. He wanted to agree to Huyan Duoer's request, but he couldn't let go of his country and people.

He held the letter tightly in his hand and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, great changes also took place within the Xiongnu. Huyan Duoer's father, the Xiongnu Chanyu, was seriously ill, and his younger brother, Huyan Lie, took the opportunity to seize the throne.

Hu Yanlie was an ambitious man who wanted to annex Daqin and become the overlord of the grassland.

When he learned about the relationship between Huyan Duoer and Ying Yuan, he flew into a rage, imprisoned Huyan Duoer, and sent people to issue a declaration of war to the Qin Dynasty.

When Ying Yuan learned about this, he was furious and decided to lead the army in person to attack the Xiongnu.

He summoned all his generals and deployed the battle plan.

"I will defeat the Huns and rescue Duo'er!" Ying Yuan's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of murderous intent.

The army marched towards the Xiongnu in a mighty manner. A great war was about to break out.

Ying Yuan led the army to charge into battle. He was a skilled warrior and no one could defeat him. The Xiongnu army was defeated and suffered numerous casualties.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Huyan Lie took Huyan Duoer hostage and fled deep into the grassland.

Ying Yuan pursued him relentlessly and finally caught up with Hu Yanlie in a valley. (End of this chapter)
