”King Lou Lan, King Lou Lan …”
Excited shouts echoed through the wilderness as they praised a famous ”King Lou Lan”!
Under the flickering flame of the fire, a handsome red horse was bathed in moonlight. Although there were thousands of soldiers and horses surrounding it, Yue Chanjuan could only see this person.
Like a burning flame, its mane fluttered in the wind. Its four hooves seemed to float across the grass, carrying an indescribable grace and lightness.
Golden armor, a golden belt around his waist, a ferocious golden mask. It covered his appearance, and his entire body was covered with a dazzling golden light.
A golden spear hung beside the saddle. A golden scimitar hung beneath his ribs. His body was like gold as it emitted a dazzling light. It was like the sun in the sky, bringing about a glory that would make people look up to him.
From afar, all that could be seen was a golden mask that caused one's heart to tremble with a cold chill. A pair of cold jade eyes was like a wolf on the prairie, flickering with a cold light that caused one's heart to palpitate.
”Oh my god, King Lou Lan is here. We have nowhere to run.”
Not far from Yue Chanjuan, a Hun sighed and lowered his scimitar.
The red steed approached gracefully. The golden figure gave off a tremendous pressure, and as if a god had descended, Lou Lan slowly brought the pressure to everyone.
At this moment, everyone had stopped their attacks. The appearance of Lou Lan and his great army caused Ilyo to lose the courage to continue fighting.
As soon as Lou Lan raised his golden spear, the yells came to a halt and the surroundings became silent.
As he stared at the golden figure, he could not help but fall into a daze. He had heard this name too many times. He was the legend of the Huns, the most mysterious person on the outside.
Although he did not have the glorious achievement of being alone in the crabapple pear, nor the great fame of being alone in the sky like the crabapple pear, only being a king among the foreign races in the Western Regions, his legend still spread to every corner, causing people to be fascinated by him.
Her tall figure carried an extraordinary heroic aura, and every inch of her body stung the eyes of others.
And this was only under the moonlight, under the light of the fire, under the light of the noon sun, there would definitely be a brilliance that no one would dare to look at directly.
King Lou Lan's horse approached Yue Chanjuan's troop. Unknowingly, Yue Chan's eyes met King Lou's. There was no need to say anything. Both of them understood each other's identities.
Others did not have the grandeur and dazzling radiance of King Lou Lan, nor did other women have her absolute beauty and calmness.
”Since my king has arrived, why aren't you all getting down from your horses to kneel and beg for forgiveness? Could it be that you want to fight against my king's heavenly might?”
He Jiahui and Zhong Ao Shuang's expressions were cold and gloomy. They only had a few hundred people, it was impossible for them to break out of the encirclement of thousands of soldiers, and even more so, it was impossible for them to protect the Princess's safety.
”Princess, your servant will risk his life to save you.”
His eyes turned blood-red as he shouted in a low voice, ”Breaking through the encirclement in a moment requires one's life and must not be negligent in the slightest. I must protect the princess as she breaks through the encirclement.”
The corners of his mouth curled up as a cold smile emerged on his face: ”Why would I go all out if I can't do it even if I have to? If we keep our lives, we can continue to do things.
Zhong Ao Shuang nodded slightly. ”I think it's better to negotiate with King Lou Lan. He probably won't hurt the princess. If I want to protect the princess, I need to talk to him.” Your subject is willing to go and negotiate with King Lou Lan. ”
Yue Chanjuan shook her head slightly. ”He will not accept the negotiations. Right now, we are all in his hands.”
King Lou stopped his horse and looked straight at Yue Chan with his dark green eyes. How beautiful and delicate was his face behind the veil?
Her clear eyes were like the stars in the sky, yet also like a clear spring in the desert, sparkling with a light that would make one intoxicated. From her eyes, he didn't see the slightest bit of panic or fear, but instead, he saw a trace of an inexplicable smile.
Yue Chanjuan rode her horse up to the front of the troop and looked straight at Lou Lan.
”Princess Wuyou.”
”King Lou Lan.”
Their gazes met in midair, neither willing to avoid the other. After a long while, the two only looked at each other, neither willing to speak.
Finally, Zhong Ao Shuang said, ”Great Kanghan Forest Academy's Grand Scholar, Zhong Ao Shuang, greets King Lou Lan. I have long heard of his great name, so I am escorting you to your marriage in the Great Moon Branch.”
”When This King heard that Princess Wuyou was here, he thought that she was the most beautiful princess in all of Heaven's Empire. How could This King not be grateful to her? This king came all the way here and invited the princess to come and have a chat with me. I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery. ”
”I am touched by Your Highness's noble and gracious intentions. I have long heard of the magnificent scenery of Lou Lan. However, the princess has an imperial edict that cannot be ignored. Please forgive me, Your Highness.”
