Chapter 116 The whole situation
After doing all this, Su Yue felt as if all her strength had been drained, and she could only prop herself up with extreme exhaustion.
She took careful steps and slowly left the place.
Each step felt so heavy, as if the ground beneath her feet was dragging her legs down.
Su Yue stopped walking only when she could no longer see the tribe where the Xiongnu king was.
She took a deep breath and then summoned the horse she had originally kept in the mysterious space.
The horse had a glossy coat and a lithe physique, but at this moment it looked somewhat lazy and relaxed.
Su Yue was so exhausted that she almost collapsed to the ground, but she knew that now was not the time to rest.
She gritted her teeth and struggled to climb onto the horse's back.
As soon as she sat down, she felt a deep weariness wash over her, as if her whole body was about to sink into an abyss.
However, she knew in her heart that if she could not get away from this place as soon as possible before those people noticed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This horse, which has lived in a confined space for a long time, seems to be different from ordinary horses, making it seem to have intelligence, much like a mule.
Su Yue gently stroked the horse's mane, telling it to run in that direction and not to approach anyone if it encountered them. She then patted the horse's back, signaling it to set off.
Despite having made such arrangements, Su Yue still felt uneasy.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to release Huangmao, Dadan, Erdan, and Sandan as well, to have them guard the horses.
After giving all her instructions, Su Yue was too exhausted to continue. She lay on the horse's back, closed her eyes, and began to concentrate on restoring her depleted mental energy.
The sounds of the wind, horses' hooves, and the occasional birdsong from afar mingled together, and Su Yue gradually drifted into a half-dreaming, half-awake state amidst the jolting...
When Su Yue slowly woke up again, she found herself in a vast, boundless green meadow.
She blinked, trying to clear her vision.
Not far from her, her loyal horse lay quietly, while the blond horse lay obediently on the other side.
At this moment, the sky was beginning to lighten, indicating that a new day was about to begin.
Su Yue's heart tightened, realizing that she had to leave this land belonging to the Xiongnu as soon as possible and return to the Da'an Kingdom.
Because she knew that the poison she had given the Xiongnu king would take effect within seven days.
If they cannot return to their homeland within seven days, and the Xiongnu king dies from poisoning, the region will inevitably descend into chaos.
Thinking of this, Su Yue gritted her teeth; she absolutely could not be trapped here.
Moreover, on the way back, we might even be able to take care of a few leaders of the Xiongnu tribes!
So, in the days that followed, Su Yue would hide in her space during the day to rest and recuperate.
Once night fell, they began to travel at full speed.
Not only that, when she passed through the tribes of the Xiongnu, she did not hesitate to plunder them and made a great fortune.
And so, day after day, several days passed in the blink of an eye.
These past few days, Su Yue has reaped a great harvest. The number of cattle, sheep and horses in her space has increased dramatically, almost filling one of the mountain peaks.
Finally, on the seventh night, Su Yue successfully arrived at the border of the Great An Kingdom.
Meanwhile, far away in the tribe where the Xiongnu king resided, chaos and disorder had already broken out.
Everyone was completely baffled as to how the Xiongnu king had been poisoned, and they were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
However, a few tribes with ulterior motives rushed over under the cover of night.
On the surface, they pretended to be indignant, but deep down they were secretly overjoyed!
These things were not important to Su Yue, who had just arrived at the gates of Ping'an Town.
Looking into the distance, she could see a burly figure crouching there waiting for her; that person was Dali.
The moment Su Yue saw Dali, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
In this completely unfamiliar world, she unexpectedly found something to care about and rely on.
Although Dali usually seems a bit silly, Su Yue is the only person she ever sees.
In a cheerful mood, Su Yue lightly stood up from her horse and gently pushed off with her toes.
Like a butterfly fluttering in the air, she leaped towards Dali at the city gate, calling out sweetly, "Dali, catch me!"
Upon hearing Su Yue's clear and melodious shout, Dali quickly got up and strode towards her like an arrow released from a bow.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Su Yue and gently and carefully took her into his arms.
Without saying a word, he hoisted Su Yue onto his broad, sturdy shoulders, his face full of excitement and joy, and strode into the city.
Su Yue, who was being carried on her shoulder, had a happy smile on her face. She reached out her delicate hand and gently patted the newly grown hair on Dali's head.
She said softly, "Oh dear, wait a minute, I haven't had time to put my horse away yet."
Upon hearing this, Dali stopped and turned around to wait quietly for the horse to come over.
Once the horse got close, Su Yue put it into her spatial storage.
Afterwards, Dali carried Su Yue on his back again and continued to walk happily into the somewhat desolate Ping'an Town.
The two men didn't dare to delay at all. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Liang Rong, they raised their whips without hesitation.
He spurred his horse and galloped away, quickly leaving Ping'an Town and heading towards Qing Shi Town.
At this time, Liang Rong was burdened with a heavy responsibility and needed to continue guarding the border.
He was filled with anxiety, fearing that the Xiongnu king might suddenly change his mind, renege on the previous agreement, and lead his army to attack again.
In addition, he had to wait for the Xiongnu princess to come to the capital to meet the emperor.
But he didn't know that all his worries were unnecessary, and that the Xiongnu king was already dead.
Meanwhile, Su Yue and Dali rode at breakneck speed all the way back to Qing Shi Town and arrived safely at the courtyard where they lived.
Upon entering the courtyard, one could see Qiaoxiang, Qiaoyun, and Qiaoxia busily packing their belongings.
They were just waiting for Su Yue to return so they could immediately set off back to Kyoto.
Having just endured a long horseback ride, Su Yue was exhausted, panting and aching all over.
After she dismounted, she staggered slightly. Qiaoxiang quickly stepped forward to support her and carefully helped Su Yue wash up.
Once everything was in order, Qiaoxiang thoughtfully brought over the food and fed it to Su Yue bite by bite.
After eating and drinking her fill, Su Yue finally fell into a deep sleep, completely satisfied.
These days, Su Yue is truly exhausted. She spends almost all her time on horseback, either galloping or on her way to her destination.
This intense schedule left her exhausted, but thankfully she can finally take a short break now.
