Within the Sky Prison, all the soldiers guarding the four city gates that night were all captured. Helian Lie was now going to interrogate them strictly. He had to dig out a trace of information from their mouths no matter what.

"Ah …" "Please have mercy, this one is the guard captain of the west side of the city. No one has ever entered or left the west side of the city that night, there really isn't anyone here …" A guard captain who could not bear the torture shouted.

The soldiers of the other three city gates were all being tortured in different torture chambers, and each one of them was complaining incessantly …

"Ah …" "Stop fighting, I know, I know …" After being whipped a few times, a scrawny soldier couldn't help but shout out.

The Azure Dragon stepped forward, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"That night, this one was on duty at the city gate tower, and saw a few men on horseback guarding a carriage, but those men gave a lot of benefits to the captain of the guard. The captain even invited us brothers to drink, and warned us not to speak of this matter, who knows that the news of Empress Snow's disappearance would spread so quickly!" The man told her everything he knew, not daring to hide anything from her.

It was the gate at the east side of the city! The Azure Dragon moved his line of sight to the captain that the man spoke of. It seemed like he was the key figure.

That captain was trembling all over. We're finished, we're finished … It was not like he had never heard of the king's ruthlessness before. He originally thought that he had slaughtered a fat sheep that night, but he did not expect that this matter would bring about a calamity to his life.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me …" The guard captain was scared to the point of peeing his pants. Seeing the green dragon walk towards him, he was already scared to death.

"If you don't want to die, tell me what happened that night!" Before the Azure Dragon had even made a move, the so-called captain had already been scared out of his wits.

The Azure Dragon had him describe the appearance of the leading man under the influence. The painter drew out the characteristics that he spoke of. The next day, the Azure Dragon brought the portrait to Helian Lie.

"My lord, this is the man who was guarding the gate and escorting the carriage that night." Bring the portrait up for the king to see.

Helian Shan opened the portrait in his hand. Suddenly, his eyes widened. Wasn't this man Tengger? The Khan Tung, who has been in place for less than two years?

"I did not expect it to be him!" "Azure Dragon, hurry up and pass down the order to Yuwen Tai and his son, as well as to the Prime Minister and the official doctor. Have them enter the palace as soon as possible, because they have important matters to attend to. Since he knew that he was the one who had taken them away, he would lead Lou Lan's lion elite soldiers and raze that small tribe with only ten thousand men to the ground.

"Understood …" The Azure Dragon will then go down and make the arrangements! " The Azure Dragon had already guessed that the king was going to personally go to war, but he didn't expect that a woman would make the king so angry.

Soon, Yuwen Tai, Yuwen Tuo, Dan Xiong, and Xiao Boyi all arrived at the imperial study together. Helian Shan stood high above them, looking down at them from above.

"Right now, Xue Fei has been found. She is from the Tuwa tribe in the Great Canyon Margaret, which is only three hundred miles away from the borders of our Lou Lan. We must personally go and fight Tuwa and bring Xue Fei back! General Yuwen, you don't need to go this time. You will be overseeing the city and have Young Master Yuwen Tuo follow the army out. There will be a single prime minister to handle various matters within the imperial court with the assistance of the official. " Helian Lie looked at them and told them his plans.

"May our King's Flag be victorious …" Dan Xiong was the first to respond to his words.

However, Yuwen Tai was a little worried and furrowed his eyebrows as he voiced out his thoughts: "Your Majesty, Lang Xie Mountain is easily defenceless and difficult to attack. Although Tuwa's forces are not large, due to the terrain, our army is at a disadvantage."

"General Yuwen, you can rest assured. If there's a chance, there's a chance. This time, I'm completely confident. I only need fifty thousand soldiers to raze Tuwa to the ground!" The more Helian Lie spoke, the more his eyes emitted a dense killing intent.

"This... Since the king has decided, this old official will protect the city to the death, waiting for the king's good news to come back. However, Ta'er is definitely not the only one with the king, and this old official has a lot of experienced deputy generals by his side. Yuwen Tai wasn't trying to wipe away this old face of his. It was just that the King had only been on the battlefield a few times and he wasn't experienced enough. He was afraid that the King would fall into the enemy's trap.

"Alright, let's do it like that. There shouldn't be any problems with the Prime Minister and the Minister of Love, Xiao Shiqin, right?" He turned his head to look at the other two people who had remained silent.

"This subject has no problems at all. May Your Majesty emerge victorious and return victorious as soon as possible!" The two of them wished Helian Lie the same thing.

"Good …" "Gu ordered Yuwen Tuo to turn into the right general, and follow him to save Xue Fei. After that, he will raze the entire place to the ground!" If he dared to touch his Helian woman, he would have to pay a heavy price for it.

Regardless of whether Cen Xue was willing to leave with him, or if she was captured by him, he, Helian Lie, would pay for this debt. If Cen Xue was missing a single hair on Tuwa, he would massacre Lang Xie Mountain!

Today was the last day, and Old Man Wu had been shaving off the medicinal paste on her face. The healing effect of the previous days was very good, and the originally reddish brown scar turned bright red after the first day. After three consecutive days of treatment, the scar on her face was now a faint pink color, and it could be considered that she had recovered fifty percent as expected!

After washing his face clean, there were no longer any shocking, deep, and criss-crossing scars on his right cheek. There were only some faint, tender, light pink scars on his face.

"Dad, thank you. Thank you so much …" As Cen Xue spoke, she stood up from the bed and kneeled on the floor.

"What are you doing? Hurry up and get up. Dad can't accept your great gift!" Mr. Witch stepped forward to help her up.

Cen Xue wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She then took out the jewelry that she had brought with her and passed it to him. "Dad, this is a gift from me. Please accept it."

Seeing the few precious pearl hairpins in her hands, which were not something ordinary people like Towa could have, Mr. Witch hurriedly pushed them back to her and said, "Miss, you should take these precious jewels back. I am too old, so how could I use them?"

"No …" "Dad, no matter what, you have to accept it today, just treat it as my kindness. When Ta Na and Shui Lan get married in the future, I will pass it on to Shui Lan as a reward for taking care of me for the past few days." Cen Xue refused to take it back and insisted on giving it to him.

Jewelry was nothing to Cen Xue as long as she asked for it, Helian Shan would give her a mountain of gold and silver. However, to a poor tribe like the Tuva Tribe, it was indeed very precious.

"Dad, just take it." Tengger saw them push each other around, and spoke up for Cen Xue.

Since she was so determined, so be it. His father will take his men and give Shui Lan as the betrothal gift when Ta Na gets married in the future.

"Then dad will accept it." Ye Zichen stopped hesitating and received the hairpin from her with a smile on his face.

Cen Xue saw that he had finally accepted it and expressed her apology to him. These few days, she had been bothering her father, which had caused him a lot of inconvenience, especially since he was already so old and needed to help her concoct the ointment day and night. If he didn't accept it, she would feel really bad.

"Dad, since the first step has been successfully completed, the second step …" Tengger didn't forget what he said. As long as he applied the ointment with the seven-colored beauty flower and the snow lotus, it wouldn't take long for Cen Xue's face to regain its original look.

Father turned around and walked out of the stone room. Tung and Cen Xue followed suit and walked into another stone room. Father Wu took out a white porcelain bottle and opened the lid. He let Cen Xue go in front of him and gently applied the white paste from the porcelain bottle to Cen Xue's right cheek.

When the medicinal paste came in contact with Cen Xue's face, it immediately gave off a refreshing and comfortable feeling. It even carried a faint fragrance of flowers, which was very pleasing to the nose.

"This is the Five-Colored Beauty Flower and the Snow Lotus as the primer, plus the various medicinal ingredients used to create the Scar Ointment. In the future, remember to apply it on your face every day. Within ten days, the faint pink scar on your face will disappear without a trace …" After the old man covered her with it, he covered her with the lid and handed her the entire bottle of Scar Dissolving Ointment.

Cen Xue had already seen her past self. She held the porcelain bottle given to her by her father and nodded her head vigorously, "Cen Xue will definitely remember my father's words."

"En, since it's like this, khan, you guys can leave the cave today and go back. After that, you just need to apply the Scar dispelling Paste on your face every day." Under his smile, the wrinkles on his face became even more pronounced. However, in Cen Xue's eyes, he looked kind and benevolent.

Tung nodded. "Okay, we'll leave soon. Sorry about that."

"Khan, there's no need to be like this. How could I, Khan, not mind? I've been wronged in this cave for so many days, this is already father's fortune." Wu Dai led them to the outer area, talking nonstop.

After receiving Khan's order, the guards immediately prepared to leave after cleaning up a bit …

He put on his cape and hat. The horses outside the cave were ready, and just as before, Cen Xue was still sitting in front of Tengg. Shui Lan also followed them out of the canyon and sat on Banjie's horse.

Tana supported old man Wu outside the cave as she watched them leave …

Just before nightfall, the group arrived back at the tower. Banjee was in charge of bringing the blue water home, so he parted with them on the path and returned after sending the blue water back.

Cen Xue's face was still covered by her veil. Even though she had recovered 50% of her strength, she was still covered by her veil. Only after ten days did the scars on her face completely disappear did she manage to get rid of her veil.

"Khan, you've finally returned. As soon as you left, you went for four to five days without even sending anyone back to report. You're really worried about Hong Xue." Redsnow coquettishly snuck into his embrace. In his embrace, she actually smelled a fragrance that did not belong to the khan.

It's her! She dares to rob me of my future position!

"Stop messing around, get lost …" Tung pushed her away patiently, annoyed now to see her.

It was precisely because Cen Xue was here that he didn't want to have anything to do with Redsnow.
