Hu Yanyan was not frightened by Ying Yuan's laughter. Instead, she said more boldly: "I know that your majesty is an invincible hero in the world and a wise ruler with a broad mind. I believe that your majesty will make the right choice."

Ying Yuan stopped laughing and looked at Hu Yanyan with deep eyes, "Princess, do you know that I have three thousand beauties in my harem, and I have seen all kinds of women. Why do you think I will agree to your conditions?"

Hu Yanyan smiled sweetly, "Because I know that your majesty is a real man, a man who will not be deceived by beauty. I believe that your majesty values ​​the country more than the love affair."

Ying Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Okay, I agree to your terms."

Hu Yanyan's eyes flashed with joy, and then she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Ying Yuan, "This is the contact token of the 'Shadow Kill' organization. With it, Your Majesty can contact the leader of 'Shadow Kill'."

Ying Yuan took the jade pendant, examined it carefully, and then asked, "How did the princess get this jade pendant?"

Hu Yanyan's expression suddenly turned ugly. She bit her lip and said, "This jade pendant... was... exchanged for my body..."

Ying Yuan looked at Hu Yanyan's painful expression, and suddenly a surge of pity surged in his heart. He reached out and hugged Hu Yanyan into his arms, saying softly: "I will avenge you."

Huyan Yan snuggled in Ying Yuan's arms, tears silently falling.

Just then, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

"What's going on?" Ying Yuan asked.

A soldier ran in in a panic, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! The Hun army has returned!"

Ying Yuan's face changed, he pushed Huyan Yan away and strode out of the tent.

In the distance, dust was rising and a huge army was marching towards the camp...

Ying Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at the approaching Xiongnu army indifferently, without any ripples in his heart. Three thousand beauties, so what? The Xiongnu can be destroyed in a snap. He turned around, looked at Hu Yanyan deeply, and said in a low and majestic tone: "Princess, please wait here for a while. After I deal with these barbarians, I will talk with you by candlelight at night."

Hu Yanyan's body trembled, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. She whispered, "Your Majesty, please be careful."

Ying Yuan smiled slightly, turned around and strode towards the warhorse. He jumped on the horse, unsheathed the long sword in his hand, and pointed the sword straight ahead, like a god descending from heaven, with an imposing manner. "All soldiers, listen to my orders!" He shouted loudly, "Follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Kill!" The deafening shouts of killing resounded through the sky, and the Qin cavalry rushed towards the Xiongnu army like an arrow from a bow. Ying Yuan led the way, invincible, the long sword in his hand danced like a dragon, and every swing took away several lives. Blood splattered, dyeing the earth red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Although the Xiongnu army was large in number, under the leadership of Ying Yuan, the Qin army was unstoppable and soon defeated the Xiongnu army. Seeing the situation was not good, the Xiongnu Chanyu hurriedly ordered a retreat.

How could Ying Yuan let them go so easily? He led his army to chase them all the way to the Xiongnu royal court. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Xiongnu Chanyu had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to surrender.

Ying Yuan looked at the Xiongnu Chanyu kneeling in front of him, and a sneer appeared on his lips: "I originally wanted to kill all of you to vent my hatred, but considering that you were also bewitched, I will spare your lives. Go back and tell your mastermind that if he dares to invade the border of the Great Qin again, I will make sure he never returns!"

The Xiongnu Chanyu kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, then left in disgrace with his remaining troops.

Ying Yuan returned triumphantly and was warmly welcomed by the people. He returned to the camp and immediately summoned Hu Yanyan.

"Princess, I have avenged you." Ying Yuan said.

Hu Yanyan's eyes sparkled with tears. She threw herself into Ying Yuan's arms and choked up as she said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Yuan gently stroked Hu Yanyan's hair and said softly, "I will do what I promised you. From now on, you are my woman."

Huyan Yan raised her head and looked at Ying Yuan affectionately, her eyes full of love.

However, just as the two were enjoying each other's affection, an abrupt voice broke the warm atmosphere. "Your Majesty, the leader of the Shadow Killing Organization wants to see you." A guard reported outside the tent.

Ying Yuan frowned and thought to himself, "You've come just in time." He let go of Hu Yanyan and said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

A man in black walked into the tent, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Are you the leader of Shadow Killer?" Ying Yuan asked.

"It's me." replied the man in black.

"Why do you want to assassinate me?" Ying Yuan asked.

The man in black was silent for a moment, then said, "I was also ordered by someone."

"Who instructed you?" Ying Yuan asked.

The man in black raised his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he slowly said: "It's the Prime Minister of the Great Qin, Li Si."

Ying Yuan was stunned. He could never have imagined that the mastermind behind his assassination attempt was actually his prime minister.

"Do you have any evidence?" Ying Yuan asked.

The man in black took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Ying Yuan, "This is a secret letter written by Li Si to his subordinates. It clearly states the plan to assassinate your majesty."

Ying Yuan took the letter, read it carefully, and his face became more and more gloomy.

Hu Yanyan watched from the side, her heart filled with worry. She knew that Li Si was a key minister of the Qin Dynasty and was deeply loved by the people. If Ying Yuan wanted to punish Li Si, it would inevitably cause a stir in the court and the country.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please think twice before acting." Hu Yanyan advised.

Ying Yuan took a deep breath, tightly grasped the letter in his hand, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "I know, you go down first."

The man in black took the order and retreated.

Ying Yuan looked at Hu Yanyan, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He didn't know how to deal with this matter. He didn't want to let Li Si go, but he didn't want to cause unrest in the court.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Huyan Yan asked with concern.

Ying Yuan shook his head and said nothing. He walked to the door of the tent and looked at the starry sky in the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

At this moment, a guard ran in in a panic, knelt on the ground, and reported in horror: "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Prime Minister Li Si...he...he has rebelled!"

Ying Yuan's face was terribly gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm. He tightly grasped the secret letter, his knuckles turned white, and veins on the back of his hand bulged. Hu Yanyan had never seen him like this before, and she couldn't help but feel even more worried.

"Your Majesty..." She called softly, wanting to comfort him but didn't know where to start.

Ying Yuan did not respond, but turned around suddenly and kicked over the table in front of him. The wine pot and cups on the table fell to the ground, making a crisp shattering sound, just like his mood at the moment, shattered.

"Li Si! You are such a good Li Si!" Ying Yuan gritted his teeth and said word by word, "I trust you so much, and you dare to betray me!" (End of this chapter)
