Just after Xu Haifeng left, a light and elegant sound of the dongxiao flute echoed from afar, as if the heavenly music had descended upon the world. The noisy great hall suddenly became quiet and silent.

  The sound of the whistle was sometimes high and sometimes low, but it always conveyed a joyful atmosphere. After a while, it gradually subsided until all sounds disappeared.

  Everyone in the grand hall was still immersed in the virtual world created by the pipe flute, and it wasn't until after a long time that someone shouted "Bravo!" and thunderous applause filled the air.

  Even people like Modun and Hamin Qiji lost themselves in it, which shows the great charm of the sheng's sound, rarely seen in the world.

  "Miss Xia Ya wishes you a double happiness."

  It turned out to be the famous Xia Yakun, no wonder she had such a divine skill. Mo Dun was about to invite her when he heard her say: "The time is late, Yakun's body is tired, I will take my leave first and meet with you all again in the future."

  When she said that, everyone suddenly realized that it was already late at night, and in another hour or two, the sky would be bright. Although they wanted to persuade her to stay, it was not easy to open their mouths, so they could only let her leave.

  Even if there are some people who don't know the truth, they dare not speak out because of their low official position and humble status.

  Modu thought of his life's conquests, and the prestige he now enjoyed, and was deeply moved. With a wave of his hand, he said: "You all go and enjoy yourselves, I will leave first."

  After the Xiongnu established their country, the Chanyu called themselves emperors. Their culture was simple and crude, often taking the Han court as an example, including their titles.

  Hamidi and others stood up to see him off. They naturally knew that Modun was going to meet Liu Ting, and they couldn't help but envy his boundless good fortune in their hearts.

  Hamidi's words were even more straightforward: "A moment of spring is worth a thousand catties, Shan Yu's precious sword is not old, and he will soon give birth to a noble son."

  Modu heard this and it was exactly what he wanted to hear, so he burst out laughing and turned around to leave.

  In an inconspicuous courtyard within the palace, Xu Haifeng sprang up as soon as he heard Xia Yajun's flute sound. Although his body was still reeking of alcohol, his eyes were clear and there was no trace of intoxication left.

  He listened for a while and smiled: "Ya Jun's sheng skills have improved again, and can be compared with Wan Er."

  Since Xia Ya Jun and Lin Wan Xian met, they hit it off immediately and became close friends, discussing together every day and making progress through mutual encouragement. Especially Xia Ya Jun learned some very novel playing methods from her, and the flute solo was even more brilliant.

  He raised his head and looked out the window at the dark night sky, muttering: "Military strategist, why haven't you prepared yet?"

  In a residential house on the west side of the imperial palace, several figures silently climbed over the wall. They were dressed in black and were extremely difficult to identify in the dark night.

  One of them landed on the ground and looked around to make sure no one was there, then asked in a low voice: "General Jiang... do you think Ting Er can arrive here safely?"

  Jiang Kongming let out a big yawn and said impatiently: "I say I can, then I naturally can. If Miss Tang doesn't believe me, she can just try."

  Tang Rou'er's face changed slightly, with her unparalleled beauty, ordinary people wouldn't dare to speak to her like that. Only the Black Flag Army under Xu Haifeng would be so blind as not to glance at her sideways, treating her as if she were just an ordinary person.

  As for this Jiang Kongming, he is even more detestable. The great matter of rescuing Ting'er, he doesn't worry about it in the slightest, and I don't know why Master Xu trusts him so much.

  Jiang Kung-ming listened with a tilted ear for a while and asked: "Has Xia Jie started playing inside the palace?"

  The person next to him was Lin Changkong, who replied, "I just finished playing."

  "Hmm..." Jiang Gongming nodded and said: "The time is almost up, let's get ready."

  A few people sneaked into the house, using a special drug to knock out the owner. Then they spread a thick layer of cotton batting on the ground and placed several iron rings emitting a faint cold light around it.

  Having done all this, Jiang Kungming drove Tang Rou'er out of the inner house and made her wait outside. Although Tang Rou'er was extremely dissatisfied with their mysterious actions and secretive attitude, she did not dare to disobey Jiang Kungming's orders at this time, so she turned around and left with a cold face.

  As she walked out, Jiang Kongming took out a black wooden whistle from his pocket. If Liu Ting had seen it at this moment, she would have been shocked, because the whistle was identical to the one in her hand, without any difference.

  Jiang Kongming put the whistle in his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and blew hard, but strangely, no sound came out of the whistle.

  Tang Rou'er arrived at the courtyard, looked up at the pitch-black night sky, and felt uneasy in her heart. She didn't know that her current position had formed an equilateral triangle with Xu Haifeng and Liu Ting.

  "General, the military strategist has sent a signal. Everything is ready on their side." A soldier with special abilities who was standing outside the imperial palace suddenly spoke up.

  "Good, everyone take their positions."

  Fifty soldiers immediately stood up, with ten standing on the periphery to keep watch and the remaining forty forming a circle. They held hands, closed their eyes, and after a moment, except for two people who remained clear-headed, the other thirty-eight were expressionless, as if they had become thoughtless puppets.

  Suddenly, one of the two lucid ability users said: "The princess's signal has arrived."

  Xu Haifeng's slightly impatient expression relaxed a bit, and he hastily ordered: "Number Three, start the transmission."

  Inside the palace, Liu Ting saw that several maids who had been attending her suddenly stood up together, bowed to her, and then filed out. She immediately knew that Modu would arrive at any moment.

  After everyone went out, she didn't dare to slack off and immediately took out the wooden whistle stored in front of her chest and blew it hard.

  Although no sound was made, she didn't find it strange because this situation had been tried out last night. Due to her inner blind trust in Xu Haifeng, she wasn't very flustered at the moment but instead calmly closed her beautiful eyes.

  She faintly heard a voice of inquiry from outside the door, and she knew that Modu had arrived at the gate. Then she heard the creaking sound of the gate getting lighter and lighter, until it completely disappeared.

  Outside the imperial city, in a civilian house surrounded by several strange iron rings, a strange wave suddenly appeared on the quilt, and then Princess Liu Ting's figure appeared out of thin air on the quilt.

  If seen by outsiders at this time, I'm afraid they would faint on the spot, thinking that some god or Buddha had descended to the mortal world.

  Jiang Kongming smiled with satisfaction, opened the door and said to Tang Rourou who was waiting anxiously outside: "Miss Tang, Princess has been rescued. You and Lin Changkong should take her out of the city to the military camp immediately."

  Tang Rou'er was both shocked and delighted, she quickly stepped into the house, her eyes immediately fell on Liu Ting who had closed her eyes tightly, rushed forward, hugged her, and called out with a hint of tears: "Ting'er..."

  Liu Ting's body shook, she opened her eyes, saw the person clearly, and also hugged him, asking softly: "Rou Er sister, is that you?"

  Tang Rou'er was about to respond when Jiang Gongming urged beside her, "Two young ladies, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it at the military camp outside the city. This is not a place to linger, hurry up and leave."

  Tang Rou'er glared at him fiercely, but fortunately, Tang Big Sister was overjoyed at the moment and didn't bother to argue with him.

  Jiang Kung-ming led the crowd out of the room, and Tang Rou-er quickly changed Liu Ting into a black dress and pants. She followed Lin Chang-kong out of the city. Meanwhile, Jiang Kung-ming and the others returned to the courtyard after destroying the evidence, hastily going to sleep with their heads covered, pretending that nothing had happened.

  Nei yuan, Ma Dun burst into the room with joy, then lifted the curtain of the inner house and stepped in.

  He looked up, and the face full of smiles suddenly froze. The room was empty, and there was no sign of the bride. He rubbed his bleary eyes, thinking he had drunk too much wine and was seeing things.

  But when he opened his eyes again, there was still no sign of anyone.

  Modu's face turned darker and darker, finally shouting: "Come in."

  The deputy commander of the Golden Wolf Army, who had been guarding the gate, Buyantai, quickly entered at the sound. He didn't dare to raise his head, but instead touched his forehead to the ground and asked: "What are your orders, Khan?"

  Modu was indeed a hero of his generation. In just a few breaths, he suppressed the flames of anger in his chest and asked coldly: "Who came here just now?"

  Maiti was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, and immediately replied: "Except for the respected Chanyu, no one has come here."

  "Is no one here?" Mo Dun looked at Mai Mai Ti's bewildered face, and a burst of anger finally couldn't be suppressed. He said fiercely: "Good you, Mai Mai Ti! I trusted you so much, entrusting the heavy responsibility of guarding the princess to your hands. Tell me, where is the princess?"

  Maimiti was shocked, and without regard for etiquette, she lifted her head and scanned the room in a circle. In this small space, it was impossible to hide anyone, but after scanning the room, not only did she not see Liu Ting, she didn't even see a single mouse.

  His cold sweat instantly soaked through his close-fitting clothes, and he felt a blackness before his eyes, almost frightening him into fainting.

  "Where is the princess after all?" Meng Tuo asked coldly.

  "Th...th...". Mai Mai Ti's teeth chattered and he was speechless for a moment.

  This is also because Modu's reputation for cruelty was too great, and his past killings were too heavy-handed. Even his loyal subordinates feared him three parts out of ten. Seeing him so enraged, they were frightened to the point of incoherence.

  Modun's eyes gleamed with ferocity, and he turned his head to glare at each of them. All the guards and attendants cowered in fear, not daring to look up at him.

  "Bring me the national teacher, and then pass on the order to seal off the entire city. Even if we have to dig three feet underground, I want you to find the princess for me." Modu spat out these words one by one from between his teeth.
