Outside the city is the yellow sand all over the ground. This is how the barren Shuzhou City was built on a desert without oasis, resisting the plundering attacks from foreign bandits.

The soldiers guarding the city of Shuzhou stood on the city wall with spears in their hands. Most of these men from Mobei were strong and dark, funny and kind.

The sunset in the desert is more spectacular and beautiful than the poems in the hands of countless poets. The red sun seems to be close at hand. On the lonely and barren desert, the yellow sand blown up by the wind is flying aimlessly.

The reddish sunset sprinkled on the people, and the soldiers who had been exposed to the sun for a long time on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief, shook the sand on their bodies, and waited for the guards to come so that they could go back and rest for a while.

Li Fengyou, who was dressed in black and his skin was tanned by the sun, walked up to the city wall with a long sword in his hand and followed the changing soldiers.

The soldiers guarding the city had long been familiar with Li Fengyou. A younger guy with dark skin and bright eyes saw Li Fengyou coming up, so he yelled.

"Miss Suzaku is here to watch the sunset again."

Li Fengyou's face was cold, but he nodded friendly.

"Ah."

Shuzhou City, a barren desert city, has raised a large group of cheerful, straightforward and unyielding men and girls.

They are open-minded, and the relationship between men and women is not ambiguous. If any girl falls in love with a strong man, she will throw a horsewhip at him. If the man accepts it, it means that she is interested in the girl. If the family has no opinion, they can marry and have children .

Feng You stood on the top of the wall, his condensed eyes looked at the boundless and vast desert in front of him with a bit of complexity.

Behind her, the young guy who just talked to her was standing a few steps away from her, looking at her with some hesitation.

A few soldiers who were slightly older than him beside him were grinning from ear to ear, encouraging him together.

"Go, what are you afraid of? What are we Shuzhou men afraid of?"

Under the instigation of his companions, the young man gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to walk up to Li Fengyou and invite her to participate in the lantern festival that young men and women in the city would go to tonight.

Li Fengyou glanced at him indifferently, turned around and left after saying that he had no time, leaving behind the disappointed young man and the group of companions who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Li Feng walked down the city wall and walked quickly to the palace.

Those guarding outside the palace were Prince Jiang Muxi's people. When they saw Li Fengyou, they all saluted respectfully. Li Fengyou nodded and walked in.

At the beginning, Jiang Muxi led the Tiger Roaring Army to garrison outside Shuzhou City. Because the King of Nanjiang refused to open the city gate, he was preparing to attack the city.

Although exhausted from fleeing all the way, the well-trained Tiger Roaring Army is still more disciplined and combative than ordinary troops. They attack the city wave after wave as if they never get tired.

Fortunately, both sides did not intend to fight to the death. Although the Tiger Roaring Army was blocked from outside the city gate several times, the casualties of soldiers on both sides were not considered serious.

Counselor Zhuge Changming guessed that the king of Nanjiang had no intention of being an enemy of Jiang Muxi, but he did not dare to let Jiang Muxi enter the city because of Jiang Xunyan, so he just kept them out of the city.

After a stalemate like this for two days and two nights, the army Jiang Xunyan sent to hunt down Jiang Muxi caught up.

The confrontation between the two armies was in full swing, and the king of Nanjiang closed the city gate and sat on the mountain to watch the tigers fight.

Driven to a dead end, the Tiger Roaring Army exploded with unprecedented potential under the encouragement of Jiang Muxi's words about the hero's end and unwillingness to give in.

They seem to be possessed by the gods of war, wielding their knives tirelessly to fight, all their eyes are full of wanting to guard behind them, the dusty pearl who has been wronged, the real emperor of Jiang country.

After fighting for a while, the Tiger Roaring Army wiped out all the troops who came to chase and kill them.

Before the exhausted Tiger Roaring Army had time to be happy, the closed city gate suddenly opened.

Jiang Hanwu, the king of southern Xinjiang, led his troops to surround the Tiger Xiao Army.

But unexpectedly, the king of Nanjiang didn't mean to win Jiang Muxi and ask for credit for Jiang Xunyan, but instead asked to discuss with Jiang Muxi.

Then they reached an agreement that the King of Southern Border would let Jiang Muxi and the Tiger Xiao Army enter the city, and help Jiang Muxi regain the throne. After that, Jiang Muxi only had to agree to one condition.

In the eyes of the former emperor and Jiang Xunyan, this king of southern border, who was ignored by the world, was just an abandoned child in the border desert.

But in the eyes of the people and soldiers in Shuzhou City, he is an omnipotent protector.

In the eyes of the foreign thugs around Shuzhou, he is a hell devil who licks blood and kills.

It was the first time that Jiang Muxi met the legendary brother and uncle of his own father and mother.

Before he was born, Jiang Hanwu was sent by the first emperor to garrison Shuzhou, and later he designated Shuzhou as his fiefdom, which gave him the title of King of Southern Xinjiang.

Jiang Hanwu, who was stationed at the frontier, could not leave Shuzhou City without the emperor's summoning, and the former emperor never summoned him. Counting from the day he arrived in Shuzhou City, he has stayed in Shuzhou for more than 30 years and never left.

For Jiang Muxi, Jiang Hanwu was just the cold "King of Southern Border" in the mouth of his father and courtiers, and was rarely mentioned.

The peaceful father only dislikes his own younger brother.

After Jiang Muxi entered Shuzhou City, Jiang Hanwu generously gave up his palace and let Jiang Muxi live in it.

I moved to the side mansion with my family and relatives.

Although Jiang Hanwu's palace was also built in the desert, the decoration inside is like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with screens, rockery, attic courtyards, and in this desert where water sources are extremely rare, he even dug out a clear spring, built stone bricks around it, and Put a few koi on it.

Li Fengyou walked through the vestibule, and happened to run into Jiang Hanwu who was competing with two strong guards in plain clothes.

Jiang Hanwu is over half a hundred years old, with a white beard on his face, and his skin is the same as that of the people in Shuzhou City, tanned by the sun, but his eyes are deep, black and sharp like eagles, and his facial features are cut like knives. It is still not difficult to see the handsome look of his youth.

He held a sharpened smooth wooden stick tied with a red string, and dealt with the two guards who were attacking him at the same time. The stick fell to the ground.

Jiang Hanwu stroked his beard and looked at the two guards who fell on the ground and couldn't get up, he laughed and said heartily.

"Young man, you can't even beat an old man like me, but you have to go home and practice for another two years."

The two guards struggled for a while before they got up, saying yes again and again in shame.

Jiang Hanwu caught a glimpse of Li Fengyou approaching, a sharp light flashed in his dark eyes, he threw away the stick in his hand, stood still and looked at Li Fengyou with a smile.

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Li Fengyou stepped forward and bowed his hands respectfully.

"Suzaku has seen the prince."

Jiang Hanwu waved his hand with an easy-going and friendly expression.

"Miss Suzaku is the most important person of my prince's nephew and nephew, and she has saved his life several times. In the future, Miss Suzaku will not need to salute me when she sees me."

Li Fengyou doesn't really like to get along with Jiang Hanwu. This man's eyes are really sharp like eagle's eyes. Just by looking at you, he seems to be able to see through everything.

Even Li Fengyou, who has always been calm and self-sufficient, and who remains indifferent in front of landslides and tsunamis, will feel a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

Li Fengyou expressionless, just said something coldly.

"Suzaku is just a little maid beside His Highness, and it is his duty to protect His Highness."

Jiang Hanwu raised his head and smiled, squinted his eyes, and smiled expectantly.

"I heard from His Royal Highness that Miss Suzaku is proficient in swordsmanship and martial arts. I happened to meet Miss Suzaku today. I wonder if this king will have the opportunity to learn from her."

Li Fengyou lowered his head and said in a low voice.

"Suzaku dare not."

Jiang Hanwu waved his hand and joked.

"Why, Miss Suzaku is afraid that she will hit too hard and hurt this old bone of this king. If this king is not as good as others and gets injured, I will definitely not take it to heart, and I will never pursue Miss Suzaku. Miss Suzaku Feel free to go.”

Li Fengyou frowned slightly, Jiang Hanwu meant that she must make a move.

Just as Li Fengyou was hesitating, Jiang Muxi's slightly weak voice sounded.

"Uncle, Suzaku doesn't want to compete, so why make things difficult for her."

The two looked around, and Jiang Muxi, who was dressed in a long robe and pale, was slowly walking from the inner courtyard to the vestibule with the support of two maids.

As soon as Jiang Muxi appeared, everyone present, including Jiang Hanwu, knelt down and saluted.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."
