Although the eagle vulture does not fall, the tiger and wolf do not approach! Although it was razed to the ground, the ruins of the Hulan Jiawa Divine Peak still exuded a sacred aura.

This is the sacred peak that the Helian clan has guarded for generations, and after the consumption of endless years, it still goes straight to the sky, but now it is wiped out!

The sacred peaks that the entire grassland looked up and worshipped were suddenly crushed into powder, leaving only two-thirds of their original height. The nomadic people of the steppe were stunned that the sacred mountain, to which they prayed for happiness and well-being every day, had been destroyed by itself!

Northern Xia Royal Court, the emperor's main account!

"How many days has the prince been there, have you come back?"

Li Dezhao, the emperor of Northern Xia, was sitting on the emperor's throne and asked majestically.

Hearing that the emperor asked about something, a Confucian student in a coarse cloth robe at the bottom of the left hurried to the bottom of the high platform. He knelt down on one knee with his right hand on his chest and replied in a deep voice:

"Returning to His Majesty the Emperor, Prince Yuan Jue led six personal guards and warriors to be ordered to explore the Holy Peak, and it has been seven days now. In the early morning of that day two days ago, I saw the crown prince's arrow burst from the mountainside, which should be the signal for the return journey!

The Northern Xia Emperor listened to what he said, looked at him and nodded slightly:

"Chen An, you are the crown prince and the prince and the prince! His plan of action is specified by you. His safety is also your full guarantee, and the responsibility is not small, thank you for your hard work!"

"His Majesty the Emperor and the crown prince did not give up, and entrusted them with important tasks, and they were grateful and did not dare to call it hard. Originally, Chen An was bound to die after the rest of his life, but he had an appointment in advance, and he did not dare to say that he would receive holy grace forever. If that day really comes, I hope His Majesty the Emperor will fulfill it!"

The Northern Xia Royal Court, the first place on the left side under the throne! What a revered position! Chen An bowed deeply and slowly returned to this position. In a short period of time, it has been a situation of one person under ten thousand people. The Northern Xia royal court, who doesn't know that he is valued by the emperor of the current dynasty, or the right-hand man of the crown prince!

Moreover, it is rumored that the two princesses who are the most favored by the Emperor of Northern Xia are still in love with Chen An, and now the three of them are in and out of the side of the main tent together!

In this way, Chen An can be said to be in the limelight, and he is unrivaled for a while! Since the founding of the Northern Xia Dynasty, there has never been a minister of such status!

If it were someone else, he would have been loyal to the Northern Xia Dynasty for a long time, and he would have no second heart. Chen An is greedy for money, and he was lured by the princess to not keep his heart, so he is naturally no different from ordinary people. But when it comes to loyalty, Chen Anshi is very human!

At the beginning, the Emperor of Northern Xia wanted to make him a great official, although he knew that the Northern Xia royal family was kind to him, so he was appointed as an official. However, before taking office, he also had the courage to propose three chapters of the law to Emperor Li Dezhao. The specific content is mainly to say that Chen An is temporarily in the official position of Northern Xia, and if he is summoned by the lord Bai Rong one day, he will definitely return.

At first glance, any emperor should hate such a left-right approach. Everyone present in the tent was shocked, closed their eyes and waited for His Majesty the Emperor to thunder and angrily cut down this arrogant man!

However, everyone, including Chen An, did not expect that Emperor Li Dezhao was not angry, but agreed to him with a pleasant face, and praised Chen An for his loyalty, named the prince and the prince, and rewarded the cattle, sheep and horses!

Perhaps only the crown prince Li Yuanjue knew his father's thoughts! On the night that this father sent the prince's two younger sisters into Chen An's tent, he had already made up his mind to use Chen An as a bridge to make friends with the Bai family! Since it was a bridge, Chen An naturally had to have the heart to establish close ties with the Bai family. Therefore, the "Three Chapters of the Law" proposed by Chen An in the current dynasty was actually in the arms of Li Dezhao, the emperor of Northern Xia!

Li Dezhao is naturally not in a hurry, at the moment he is more concerned about the sacred totem mountain in the hearts of the grassland people, the changes in the Hulan Mountain.

The symbol of the sacred mountain is naturally the peak of Hulan Gawa. However, all along, the holy maidens from the Holy Peak have all supported the Northern Xia royal court. And the people of the Northern Xia Dynasty are all believers in the Holy Maiden of the Holy Peak. In a sense, the rule of the Northern Xia Dynasty was stable, partly relying on the people's belief in the Holy Peak Holy Maiden.

And a few days ago, the Holy Peak was suddenly crushed into powder in the eyes of the admiring believers and the royal court, which destroyed the power of this faith. In a short period of time, perhaps the people on the grassland have not yet reacted. But once the time goes on, it's hard to say what will change.

There are many tribes in the steppe, and it is not easy to centralize the rule! If he loses the belief in unity, Li Dezhao has already rehearsed the worst possibility in his heart.

And the crown prince Li Yuanjue was worthy of being a rare prince of the Northern Xia Dynasty, and his immediate reaction was exactly the same as that of his father!

The emperor asked the prince about the return date today, but it seems that the situation cannot be delayed any longer. Those tribes with a little strength are all ready to move, and if they drag on, there may be mutiny!

In the end, there was thunder but his face was like a peaceful lake, Li Dezhao casually approved the recitals of the courtiers, only Chen An noticed that His Majesty the Emperor looked at the royal road outside the royal court through the door of the main tent from time to time.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats me well! Chen An has received the responsibility of the Taibao again. The prince has not returned for a long time, and the ministers are worried, so they specially ask for the order to lead four heralds and eight horses to meet the prince, and strive to welcome the prince back to the court as soon as possible! I hope Your Majesty will agree!"

Taking advantage of the end of a recital discussion, Chen An hurriedly bowed deeply and said.

The emperor was very happy, after all, the news of Shengfeng was too sensitive, and it was inconvenient for him to be too nervous. But in fact, he was very anxious! Now Chen An said in front of all the ministers that he was worried about the prince's safety and wanted to accept the prince and return to the court as soon as possible. It did not attract attention to the Holy Peak, but also avoided the emperor's concern!

"Yes, since you are so anxious, lead the troops!"

Chen An surrendered his hand, and in Li Dezhao's undetectable admiring gaze, he turned around and walked out of the main account quickly.

...

At the foot of the main peak of Hulan Mountain, a group of seven people found a good horse that was circled at the foot of the mountain when they arrived. At the moment, they are being dragged to replenish water by the stream and eat some aquatic plants.

In the grasslands, horses are like family, companions or friends. The way up the mountain was not easy, so the horses were at the foot of the mountain. However, after a short reunion, everyone was intimate with each other, which led to this half-day leisure.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a howling arrow rising into the sky in the direction of the royal court!"

In fact, there was no need for this warrior to remind them, and everyone heard the roar of arrows, and they all looked at it at this time.

"It's Chen An! He came out to pick me up! It seems that my father is a little anxious!"

Seeing the meaning of the whistling arrow, Li Yuanjue didn't delay anymore and turned over on his horse!

When they saw that the Lord was about to do so, they quickly saddled and mounted their horses. Then he saw Li Yuanjue patting the neck of the war horse affectionately, and then made a big move and shouted:

"Hurry up, thirty miles of water and grass beach in the royal court!

With a clip on the horse's belly, he should run first, and the goal is the meeting place that Chen An had made an appointment with, thirty miles of water and grass beach!

At dusk, the slanting sun of the grassland is golden, dyeing one side of each aquatic plant the color of gold. The middle of the water grass beach seems to be covered with a layer of gold leaf, sparkling. It was a quiet and peaceful swamp, but it was irritated by a chaotic splash of horses' hooves.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal guards were all heroic warriors, and their horses were unparalleled horses! And when they came to their destination at this time, the sound of hooves was so chaotic that it showed the intensity of the rapid march for a whole day!

The destination has arrived, everyone has relaxed, and most of them have come directly to a "person on their backs". With such an intense march, if the enemy army is encountered at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be in danger! This is why Chen An has to come out to answer, and the prince has to agree on the address with Chen An!

Chen An left behind the guards, and left behind the prince's personal guards and war horses who were breathing, so he pulled up His Royal Highness the prince and carried him into the cart. In the next thirty miles, there is no danger and no danger, and I return to the royal court!

Outside the main tent, Chen An's people who stayed behind in the royal court brought food and drinking water, and waited for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to tidy up and rest. Soon, Li Yuanjue relieved his breath, and Jin Jia did not take off and walked into the main account with Chen An!

"Yuan Jue Wu'er, come and sit here!"

When Li Dezhao saw his son working hard, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, and beckoned him to sit down beside him. After looking up and down and seeing that there was no big problem, he asked:

"Yuan Jue, what is the situation of the Holy Peak, hurry up and tell your father!"

"Father... The Holy Peak is gone, and the entire Helian clan should be buried!"

Li Yuanjue's words are not exaggerated. However, in the ears of Emperor Li Dezhao and Chen An, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky! Sure enough, Li Dezhao exclaimed:

"What?!None of them were spared?!Where is the Holy Maiden??Can any body be found?"

Li Yuanjue buried his head in a wry smile, then met the emperor's gaze squarely, and replied:

"Father, the Holy Peak seems to have been directly smashed down by a huge force pressed down by the sky above. As far as we can see, everything from the summit to the mountainside has long since become the dust that spills over the entire foot of the main peak. As for the Holy Maiden, including the bodies of the entire Helian clan, we haven't found any of them, but the sons think..."

Li Dezhao actually knew that the top third of the entire mountain peak had turned into powder, and the hope of the Helian clan surviving was indeed as slim as finding a stone in the grassland with fertile water and grass!

"But I saw an old man in the distance there, and disappeared before I could get near him. I finally climbed to the place where the old man was standing before, and I saw a stone slab, the meaning of which was engraved was not clear, so I brought it back and asked my father to refer to it!"

As he spoke, he took out a large stone slab from his backpack and presented it to Emperor Li Dezhao of Northern Xia.

Li Dezhao looked at the stone slab carefully, one side was engraved with a totem in the shape of a water droplet, and the other side had a few words, so he subconsciously read it in a low voice:

"Welcoming the snow deer, protecting the heroine"

I have muttered several times, but I don't know why. Li Dezhao looked up again and asked:

"How is the old man dressed? Is he friend or foe? The Holy Peak is annihilated, and the Helian Clan is happy with him?!"

Li Yuanjue shook his head, at that distance, the old man might be able to see him clearly, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a mortal, and his eyesight is probably out of reach, and it is not easy to see that he is an old man...

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that the old man should be waiting for someone. And when I arrived at the prince, I disappeared. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has obtained the stone tablet left by the old man in the place where he resides!"

Chen An suddenly spoke, causing Emperor Li Dezhao and Prince Li Yuanjue to turn their heads to look at him at the same time, a little surprised by what he said.

Chen An saw that the two of them were thoughtful, so he continued to speak out and said his conjecture:

"Therefore, the minister thinks that what this stone tablet says should be entrusted by the old man, and the person he chooses to entrust is my clan!"
