The next day, the group began their journey to Mongolia. Everything was still as calm as before. Nothing had happened.

Yuchi Chen was the same as before, not bothering to converse with her. Yun Ruo Lu did not know if the empress dowager had said something, or else with Yuchi Chen's personality, how could she be restrained?

They traveled for four days before they entered the territory of Mongolia.

In the past few days, Yun Ruo could see that even though Liu Yanhan wasn't someone that was easy to deal with, she truly treated Yuchi Chen well. It could be said that she was deeply in love with him.

The steppes of Mongolia were vast and endless.

Upon entering Mongolia's territory, Yun Ruo Lu was deeply attracted by the natural beauty. That green color was like the unending ocean, making people feel even more relaxed.

Even the lusterless brocade began to chatter cheerfully in the carriage after seeing the beautiful scenery of Liaoyuan.

"Empress, quickly take a look. There are so many cows and sheep over there. I've never seen so many cows and sheep in my life."

Jinsi lifted the curtain of the carriage and pointed at a group of cattle that were grazing not far away. They looked extremely cheerful.

Yun Ruo Lu was also in a good mood. She couldn't conceal the smile on her face, "This place is indeed beautiful. I can't help but want to stay here."

She felt that this place was like a paradise, and it was rare for her to give others a peaceful feeling. Away from strife, away from the hustle and bustle.

After entering Mongolia, Yuchi Chen no longer stayed in the carriage. Instead, he came out to ride his horse in high spirits.

The people of Mongolia were all hot-blooded men. They were all passionate and straightforward. If the man was gentle and didn't know how to ride a horse, he would definitely be mocked.

Yuchi Chen's dark horse was quite awe-inspiring. It had followed him to the battlefield before and did not seem like it would give its master any face at all.

Yun Ruo Lu silently watched Yuchi Chen ride away. She felt that he was giving off an imposing aura, giving off a feeling of being powerless and unstoppable charm.

Although he wasn't as big as a human, he felt as if he was filled with power.

After travelling on the prairie for roughly two hours, they finally arrived at the royal clan of Mongolia, the Hagar.

The Hagor clan was the royal clan of Mongolia. They ruled over the entire Mongolian territory, and had tens of thousands of cattle and sheep as well as slaves.

In Mongolia, there were many tribes whose status was determined by how many cattle, sheep, and slaves they had. Of course, the more slaves there were, the greater the power would be. The number of cattle represented the wealth of the tribe.

Along the way, Ruo Yun saw many yurts, it could be seen that the Hagol Clan's territory was very prosperous.

When they were still a hundred miles away from the royal clan, the leader of Mongolia, Hagodotai, personally led all the clan leaders to welcome them.

Hagodotai was a middle-aged man who appeared to be around forty years old. He was in his prime. He had eleven sons and a daughter, and all of them had come to greet the guests from afar.

One could tell that the reason for such a grand welcoming ceremony was not only because the Mongols were hospitable, but also because they wanted to befriend the Heaven Dynasty for a hundred years. Naturally, they did not dare to slight it.

As a result, the army grew larger and larger, to the point that everyone from hundreds of miles away knew that an envoy from the imperial court had arrived.

Mongolia paid tribute to the House of Yuchi every year, but no envoy had visited in the last twenty years or so, except for the princess who had been sent as a kinsman by the dynasty more than twenty years ago.

In the largest yurt of the Hagor Tribe, Hagorodotai welcomed them with a welcoming ceremony. All kinds of food with national characteristics were placed on the table, creating a lively scene.

After the tea was finished, the sky had already darkened. A bonfire was lit outside the yurt and the music started. There were also young girls and boys dancing and singing.

Such a banquet with such national style made Yuchi Chen and Yun Ruo Lu feel relaxed and happy.

Yun Ruo Man and Liu Yan Han sat at Yuchi Chen's side. Everyone was excitedly watching the dance.

Amongst the crowd, there was a girl dressed in white that was dancing. The others were all around her, but there was no one who could match up to her in dancing.

A trace of warmth and boldness could be seen in that graceful dance posture. Her large, beautiful eyes were fixed on Yuchi Chen, never leaving her position from the start to the end.

Yun Ruo sat on the side with an expression like she was watching a good show. Liu Yan Han was secretly grinding her teeth, wishing she could dig out that woman's eyes.

Only when the singing and dancing was done did the woman in white bring a cup of wine to Yuchi Chen. She smiled and said, "The fragrant hagor greets your highness!"

After the woman finished speaking, she did not reveal the restrained demeanor of a woman. Instead, she removed the veil covering her face and gave Yuchi Chen a gentle smile.

At this time, Duo Tai, who was sitting on the throne, laughed out loud and explained, "My daughter is naturally mischievous. Your highness, please don't take offense to her actions!"

With these words, everyone then understood that this dancer was actually a princess.

Yun Ruo Lu secretly and carefully sized up the sweet snow. It didn't seem to be much older than fifteen or sixteen years old, but it was exceptionally beautiful, with a kind of purity and beauty to it.

On the way here, Yun Ruo Lu came to understand something. The Mongol leader, Dotai, had eleven sons and a small daughter. It was precisely because of this that this little princess was especially favored by others, as if she could give anything she wanted.

So, even though she was acting like a dancer, Duo Tai didn't feel that it was inappropriate. He only laughed heartily, feeling that his little daughter was used to being naughty.

Yuchi Chen did not say anything, but only nodded at her, taking it as a form of greeting.

The little princess, who had been spoiled since she was young, felt that Yuchi Chen was looking down on her, not even bothering to speak to her.

"I've heard that all the men in the Sky Dynasty have good skills, and I've long wanted to see what they are like. It's rare that the King himself came to our Mongolia to be a guest. Why don't we all show him to the men of Mongolia?"

Kui Xue laughed innocently, making it impossible to tell that she was trying to make things difficult for Yuchi Chen.

As soon as her voice fell, the others cheered as well. One of the brawny men took the initiative to walk out and say, "Great King, this lowly one is untalented. Please spar with your highness to express your joy!"

Duo Tai hesitated as he glanced at Yuchi Chen. After all, they were guests. If they accidentally caused any harm, wouldn't it be harmful?

"Your Royal Highness, it seems that if you don't appear, you won't be able to get off the stage tonight."

Yun Ruo tried to restrain her laughter as she warned him carefully. She knew that Yuchi Chen would not be willing to fight, but although Duo Tai did not personally invite him, if Yuchi Chen did not accept, he would be treated as a coward.

The veins on Yuchi Chen's forehead popped out, and he actually stood up and clasped his fists towards the brawny man, saying, "My apologies!"

Yun Ruo thought that Yuchi Chen would directly push such a senseless matter to Ke Yunjin. She did not expect him to personally take action. Could it be that he was provoked by what she said just now? But she didn't say anything! Or...?

Thinking up to here, Yun Ruo Lu involuntarily glanced at the excited Kui Xue at the side, and sighed secretly in her heart: "This Yuchi Chen is really tenacious. She wants to hook up with a beautiful lady. It's best if she becomes a panda later!"

After she finished her thoughts, Yun Ruo Lu drank a mouthful of wine with a depressed expression on her face.

"Empress, what happened to you?" Wasn't it fine just now? Why does it look like it's unhappy? "

Seeing that she was in a hurry to finish her wine, Jinther, who was behind Yun Ruo Lu, could not help but look at her expression and notice that she was not very happy.

Upon hearing Jin Se's reminder, Yun Ruo came back to her senses as if she had suddenly realized something. That's right. Previously, she didn't dare to have much influence over Yuchi Chen, as she had never cared about him. What happened to her just now?

At this moment, Yuchi Chen and the burly man were engaged in an intense battle. Every punch from the burly man was powerful, but Yuchi Chen was able to easily dodge. With just one hand, he knocked the burly man down to the ground.

However, this did not mean that the battle was over. The muscular man was knocked to the ground, followed by another man who charged forward. Just like that, there were several people fighting against Yuchi Chen, four to five of them at the same time.

Although this appeared to be bullying, Yuchi Chen remained composed, not even taking a deep breath. Thus, Duo Tai did not try to stop him.

It was only when everyone was convinced that the match was over.

By the time Yun Ruo Lu was looking at the little princess, the girl was already looking at Yuchi Chen with a look of worship.

Yun Ruo Man sighed in her heart, "Alas, it seems like Yuchi Chen's performance this time was rather successful!"

The warriors who had lost were not convinced. It was meaningless to say that they would fight like this. The heroes of the prairie were all men on horseback.

Thus, when everyone was in high spirits, they made an agreement to ride on the prairie tomorrow.

Actually, this wasn't a bad thing. At least it was quite lively. When Yun Ruo Lu, who was constantly nodding her head in agreement at the start, heard the little princess' other words, she was immediately petrified.

"Well, can you two sisters ride a horse? "Why don't we compete together tomorrow!"

Yun Ruo Lu was very sure that Qiang Xue's words didn't mean that she wanted to ask if they wanted to participate, but directly made it so that they couldn't reject her.

Liu Yan Han didn't say anything the whole night, but she saw every single movement of Qiang Xue's and couldn't help but feel hatred in her heart.

As such, since Kui Xue wanted them to participate in the horse riding competition, she naturally wouldn't refuse. Otherwise, if they were to be laughed at, it would be even less dignified.

As a result, Liu Yanhan very straightforwardly agreed and forced Yun Ruo Lu onto a dead end.

"What's so difficult about riding a horse? I will naturally participate. Little sister, you wouldn't be afraid to participate, right? "

Yun Ruo gave an awkward smile to Liu Yanhan. Her riding skills weren't very good, but it wasn't to the point of being a joke. So she agreed.
