"Let Duoer go!" Ying Yuan roared.

Hu Yanlie sneered, "If you want her, you can exchange her for your life!"

He put the dagger against Huyan Duoer's neck, threatening Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan looked at Huyan Duoer, his eyes filled with worry and heartache.

"Duo'er, are you afraid?" Ying Yuan asked.

Huyan Duoer shook her head, "I'm not afraid. As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of anything."

A trace of determination flashed across Ying Yuan's eyes, "Okay, I promise you, we will be together forever!"

He suddenly made a move, snatched the dagger from Huyan Lie's hand with lightning speed, and killed Huyan Lie with one blow.

Huyan Duoer was saved. She threw herself into Ying Yuan's arms and cried with joy.

However, at this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot out and hit Ying Yuan in the chest...

Blood gushed out from Ying Yuan's chest, staining Huyan Duo'er's clothes red. She opened her eyes wide in horror, as if she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.

"Yuan!" Huyan Duoer cried heartbreakingly and hugged Ying Yuan's gradually cooling body tightly.

Ying Yuan's consciousness began to blur, but he still tried hard to open his eyes and look at Huyan Duoer in his arms.

"Duo'er... don't cry..." Ying Yuan said with difficulty, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, "I have no regrets in my life... to be with you..."

His voice became weaker and weaker, and finally, he closed his eyes forever.

Huyan Duoer hugged Ying Yuan's body and cried like a tearful person. She couldn't accept this cruel reality, and she didn't understand why fate played such a trick on them.

At this moment, a Qin army arrived and brought the bodies of Huyan Duoer and Ying Yuan back to Daqin.

The news of Ying Yuan's death spread throughout the Qin Dynasty, and the whole country was in mourning. The people spontaneously took to the streets to see him off.

Huyan Duoer was placed in the imperial palace. She cried all day long, refused to eat or drink, and her body became increasingly weak.

She knew that Ying Yuan died for her. She hated herself for writing that letter to Ying Yuan and for putting him in a dilemma.

She even began to hate her own origins, hated herself for being a Hun, and hated herself for being Ying Yuan's enemy.

The imperial doctors took turns to treat Huyan Duoer, but they were all helpless. Her body became weaker and weaker, and her life gradually came to an end.

One night, Huyan Duoer had a dream. She dreamed that Ying Yuan was standing in front of her, smiling at her.

"Duo'er, don't be sad," Ying Yuan said, "I will wait for you in another world."

Huyan Duoer stretched out her hand, wanting to grab Ying Yuan, but Ying Yuan's figure gradually disappeared.

She woke up from her dream and tears blurred her eyes again.

She knew that she was going to die soon. She wanted to see Ying Yuan again, even if it was only in her dreams.

She struggled to get up, walked to the window and looked at the night sky outside.

"Yuan, where are you?" she called softly, her voice filled with sadness and despair.

Suddenly, she felt her body light, as if she was about to fly.

She closed her eyes and felt the wonderful feeling.

She felt like she had come to a beautiful place, with birds singing, flowers blooming and the sun shining brightly.

She saw Ying Yuan, who was standing not far away, looking at her with a smile.

"Yuan!" Huyan Duoer shouted excitedly and ran towards Ying Yuan. Ying Yuan opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Duo'er, we can finally be together forever." Ying Yuan said.

Huyan Duoer buried her head in Ying Yuan's arms, feeling his warm embrace.

"Yuan, I miss you so much." Huyan Duoer said.

"I know that too." Ying Yuan said, "Duo'er, we will never be separated again."

Huyan Duoer nodded, and tears flowed again, but this time, they were tears of happiness.

The next morning, the palace maids discovered that Huyan Duoer had stopped breathing.

There was a smile on her face, as if she had seen the person she loved most in a dream.

The story of Ying Yuan and Huyan Duoer has become a legend of the Qin Dynasty.

People sing praises to their love and lament their fate.

However, Ying Yuan, the greatest emperor in history, ultimately failed to realize his dream of unifying the grassland.

He dedicated his life to the woman he loved deeply.

Perhaps, for him, this is the best ending.

In the court of the Qin Dynasty, the new emperor ascended the throne and all the officials came to congratulate him. However, something seemed to be missing in this prosperous era. In addition to the increasingly powerful Qin Dynasty, Ying Yuan left behind a sad love story. However, the ending of this story did not end with his departure.

The new emperor, Ying Ze, was Ying Yuan's younger brother. He had a gentle personality, which was completely different from Ying Yuan's decisiveness in killing people. After he ascended the throne, he began to implement a series of reform policies, the most eye-catching of which was the peace talks with the Xiongnu.

In the court, ministers were discussing the issue, some supported it and some opposed it.

"Your Majesty, the late emperor paid a huge price to attack the Huns. Now that we have finally gained the upper hand, how can we give up?" An old minister stood up and said passionately.

Yingze listened quietly, with no expression on his face.

"I know that the late emperor sacrificed a lot for the Qin Dynasty," Ying Ze said slowly, "but I believe that peace is the best choice. War will only bring more casualties and more suffering."

"But Your Majesty, the Huns are ambitious and wicked. How can we believe that they will sincerely negotiate with us?" said another minister.

"I believe that peace is what people want," Yingze said, "I will do everything I can to facilitate peace talks with the Xiongnu."

His words were firm and powerful, showing his determination as an emperor.

At this time, great changes were also taking place in the Xiongnu royal court, far away in the depths of the grassland.

After Hu Yanlie's death, the Xiongnu fell into chaos. The tribes fought for power and attacked each other, and the war broke out again on the grassland.

The new Chanyu was Hu Yantuo, a cousin of Hu Yanlie. He was an ambitious but indecisive man. He wanted to unify the grassland and become the overlord of the grassland, but he lacked sufficient ability and courage.

When he learned that the new Qin emperor was willing to negotiate peace with the Huns, he felt both happy and worried.

The good news is that if peace talks can be held with the Qin Dynasty, war can be avoided and the Huns can have a chance to recuperate.

He was worried that if he negotiated with the Qin Dynasty, it would mean surrendering to the Qin Dynasty, which was unacceptable to him.

He summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.

"The new emperor of the Great Qin wants to negotiate with us. What do you think?" Huyantuo asked.

"Your Majesty, I think we should agree to Daqin's request for peace talks." An old general said, "We are now facing internal and external troubles. If we go to war with Daqin again, the consequences will be disastrous."

"But if we surrender to the Qin, wouldn't that be a disgrace to us Xiongnu?" said a young general. (End of this chapter)
