Inside the great tent, the light of the setting sun gently spilled onto the ground, casting a hazy light and shadow. Li Xiao leaned against a thick fur cushion, clad in a black outfit, his collar casually open, revealing his sturdy chest. A few trickles of sweat slowly slid down his neck, glistening like crystals under the sunlight.

Located at the west end of Hexi Fortress, there was a newly built cluster of thatched cottages. This was the temporary residence for the herdsmen of Hou Village; they had built these houses during this period.

Just as Li Xiao finally got to eat the fragrant glutinous rice, on the grasslands a thousand li to the east, it was a completely different scene. The Selenge River still flowed surgingly, but at this moment, it was dyed red with blood. Broken weapons, severed limbs, and some corpses of steppe people floated on the river surface, emitting a nauseating smell of blood. The grass by the river was trampled into chaos. Wisps of green smoke rose from the charred ruins of tents, and the air was filled…

On the vast grassland, a beautiful woman stood atop a mountain peak. She wore a long red dress, the hem dancing wildly in the wind like red flames surging on the grassland.

Her eyes were like a clear spring on the grassland, limpid and bright, overlooking this vast and boundless land with deep affection. Suddenly, a faint sound of hoofbeats broke the tranquility of…
