The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows the grass low and the cattle and sheep are revealed.

On a fertile grassland, there are rows of large white tents.

A group of men and women dressed in sheep robes and with scimitars on their waists rode on fine horses and galloped across the grassland.

Among them, in the tallest and largest round tent, several shirtless men were grilling meat and discussing something in their voices.

"Marquis Yongchang has been transferred away, and his deputy general is here to guard the city."

A fat man threw the meat heavily into the wooden tray and said in a rough voice: "How abominable! The people we sent over were about to get the city defense map from Yongchang Marquis. Now, all our efforts have been wasted!"

"The deputy general used to be that man's subordinate, and he is our strong enemy! If it weren't for his assistance over the years, the Marquis of Yongchang would have been beaten to a pulp by us long ago."

The man sitting at the top had slightly gray hair, but bright eyes, even more terrifying than the most ferocious wolf king on the grassland.

He glanced at the two young men on his right and asked, "Agulla, Ajinai, what do you two think?"

Agula is his eldest son. As his name suggests, he is as tall as a mountain, strong and sturdy.

"We have to find a way to get Yongchang Hou transferred back. As long as he is here, we can break through this border whenever we want."

Ajinai was the second son. When he was born, the Khan had just obtained a Ferghana horse. In his joy, he named him Ajinai, which means a steed.

The second prince lives up to his name. He is like a horse, free and unrestrained, full of wonderful ideas.

"Father Khan, I recently recruited an aide, and he happened to be from Kyoto. He told me a very important piece of news. The wife of Yongchang Marquis in Kyoto has shown her prowess and strongly advocates war. I suspect that the transfer of Yongchang Marquis back to Kyoto was also her plan."

Agula rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Brother, you admire the Central Plains culture, but you think too highly of them. She is just a woman."

Ajinai didn't get angry, but turned the roasted meat over and said calmly, "When I was doing business, I heard an old man say that the people you need to be most wary of on the road are the elderly, women and children. Since the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang has made such a big name, how can she not have some skills?"

Agula sneered, and anyone could see his disdain.

Ajinai: "That lady is the only daughter of Gu Zhanshen."

After these words were spoken, even the Khan at the top of the group became stiff-faced.

That man is the nightmare of the entire tribe.

Even though he had been dead for many years, it was only because of conspiracy and intrigue that he died, not because of a direct defeat on the battlefield.

The Khan asked in a deep voice, "Ajinai, do you mean that the woman knew that we had infiltrated the Yongchang Marquis, so she deliberately sent him away?"

Ajinai stood up and saluted: "It is better to believe it than not. The wife of the Marquis of Yongchang tried her best to instigate war. She is not our friend."

The Khan took a sharper dagger, cut off a large piece of bloody beef, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it. Then he said, "I'll leave this matter to you, Ajinai."

Ajinai took the order, walked out of the tent, and came to a tall man dressed in Han Chinese clothes: "Your information is very timely. But if you want to get what you want, this information alone is not enough."

The Han man turned around, and I saw that he had handsome features and a clear look in his eyes: "Second Prince, just tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Go to Kyoto and find out what the wife of Marquis Yongchang wants to do. Find a way to return Marquis Yongchang to his original position."

The Han man curled his six fingers together tightly in his wide sleeves, his heart aching.

Kyoto?!

"it is good."

Thousands of miles away, in the Kyoto prison, Marquis Yongchang and his two concubines were locked in a clean cell.

The old man in the cell opposite stared at the three of them curiously: "What crime did you commit to get you arrested? Do you know this jailer? Otherwise, why would they reserve the best cell for you?"

"My husband, they clearly know who we are, but they are forced by the eldest sister's power to call a horse a zebra!" Lu Xiaorou was thoughtful and quickly deduced that there were actually many people who recognized our identities.

Marquis Yongchang scratched his messy hair in annoyance and leaned against the wall. He felt that the past ten years seemed like a lifetime ago. Kyoto had become something he could not recognize, and his old friends in Kyoto were no longer the same as before.

"Old man, do you know the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang?"

When the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was mentioned, the old man became interested: "I know her. Who in Kyoto doesn't know her?! The wisest person in the Great Zhou! Haha, she's rich, rich enough to rival an entire country!"

The gossiping voices also came from the cell on the other side: "Alas, I am unlucky. I have only heard of her deeds, but never seen her in person! I heard that she is extremely beautiful and has charmed two emperors. In addition, the general Longwu and the prime minister are all her minions! Has anyone of you seen her? Is she really as stunning as the rumors say?"

Yongchang Hou clenched his fists tightly and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "What?! He actually had an affair with the late emperor?"

The old man picked up a piece of straw and used it to pick his teeth: "What's so strange about this? She and the late emperor were childhood sweethearts, and they were in love. Isn't that normal?"

Lu Xiaorou was horrified: "She is so promiscuous, why doesn't anyone bother her?"

Seeing that Lu Xiaorou was exaggerating, the old man quickly changed the subject: "This is just a rumor. No one has caught him in the act. The Marquis of Yongchang has not returned for more than ten years, and the Marquis's wife is like a widow. There are many gossips about widows, and everyone understands this."

The people in the nearby prison echoed, "What's a man? The most important thing is the Marquis' wife. She has raised three very promising children! The eldest son, Su Xuanming, opened the Baichuan Academy. The second son, Su Yunting, is said to be quite talented in both martial arts and farming. The third wife, Su Yunyan, runs the Baiwei Restaurant, which is famous in Kyoto. They are all outstanding people!"

This man's words were like thunder, shocking Yongchang Hou, Lu Xiaorou and Hong Xiaoxiao so much that they didn't know what year it was.

Lu Xiaorou felt as if she was in a dream: "Those three little brats are actually the legendary three siblings of the Su family?!"

Red Xiaoxiao's cherry mouth opened wide, and her eyes were bigger than copper bells: "The three people mentioned in the old lady's letter are obviously not like this!"

The most shocked person was Marquis Yongchang!

His chats with the idlers and the village chief were like slaps in the face.

How I belittled the child? How I praised the three siblings? They were all like boomerangs, piercing my chest mercilessly.

So the child whom I looked down upon was the darling of heaven in the eyes of others? !

Is it the world that is wrong or am I wrong? !

Marquis Yongchang was overwhelmed by the huge amount of information and found it difficult to accept.
