An hour later, dozens of cavalrymen were revived by Leng Ruoli. Once their conditions stabilized, Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan emerged from the basement.
Dawn was just breaking.
However, out of guilt towards his subordinates, Dari Gachi remained in the basement to care for them.
But, they had already learned Mu Rong Lichen's whereabouts from Dari Gachi in the basement.
It turned out that to humiliate Mu Rong Lichen, Dari Gachi and Bameisi had tied him and Mu Bai in a stable filled with horse dung. No wonder she and Jun Mohan hadn't found Mu Rong Lichen in any of the yurts in the tribe.
Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan immediately rushed to the stable and rescued Mu Rong Lichen and Mu Bai.
"Senior Brother, Sister-in-law, you indeed came to save us," Mu Rong Lichen said with an awkward smile.
"Lichen, your martial arts are not weak. How did you get captured by Dari Gachi's men?" Jun Mohan asked speechlessly.
"During our encounter with Dari Gachi's patrol soldiers, Mu Bai and I were accidentally affected by their soft bone powder, which made us unable to exert our internal energy. That's why we were captured by Dari Gachi's subordinates," Mu Rong Lichen explained briefly.
"Let's go. Before the sky fully brightens, you two should go to my yurt and wash up. Smell yourselves, you reek of horse dung," Leng Ruoli said with disgust.
Afterward, Leng Ruoli and Jun Mohan brought Mu Rong Lichen back to Leng Ruoli's yurt.
In Leng Ruoli's yurt, Yin Chen, Chu Mingxuan, and the other three had waited all night without seeing the King and Queen return, and they were growing anxious.
When the four of them saw the King and Queen return with Mu Rong Lichen and Mu Bai, their hearts were finally at ease.
Yin Yi and Yin Er thoughtfully fetched several buckets of water from the tribe's well and placed them in Jun Mohan's yurt, allowing Mu Rong Lichen and Mu Bai to wash up thoroughly. Afterward, they changed into clean clothes that Jun Mohan had prepared in Leng Ruoli's spatial system, finally removing the smell of horse dung from them.

Meanwhile, on the black-clad figure's side.
After being shot by Leng Ruoli's gun in Dari Gachi's basement, he hastily left Dari Gachi's tribe.
Once he had fled Dari Gachi's tribe, he could no longer endure the pain in his chest and collapsed on the grassland.
When the strong man with pigtails found the black-clad figure, he was barely clinging to life.
The strong man immediately carried the black-clad figure onto a carriage and then drove the carriage swiftly towards a nearby town.
However, the black-clad figure was indeed lucky. He encountered the Valley Master of Ghost Valley on the way. Because the black-clad figure and the Valley Master of Ghost Valley had a deep friendship, the strong man immediately pleaded with the Valley Master of Ghost Valley to save his leader.
Later, the Valley Master of Ghost Valley used his internal energy to force the bullet out of the Night Shadow Pavilion Master's chest and gave him many life-saving pills, thus saving his life.
"How did your leader get hit by someone's hidden weapon?" the Valley Master of Ghost Valley asked.
"I'm not sure. By the time I found the leader, he had already collapsed on the grassland outside Dari Gachi's tribe," the strong man said with a frown.
After hearing the strong man's words, the Valley Master of Ghost Valley fixed his gaze on the wound on the Night Shadow Lord's chest, seemingly pondering something...

In Bameisi's yurt, after finishing the supper delivered by Alqi, her eyelids soon became heavy, and she swayed as she climbed onto her bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Amei brought a bucket of warm water into Bameisi's yurt and gently called her mistress to wake up.
"Princess, it's time to get up."
"Mmm... The sky has brightened so quickly?"
Hearing this, Bameisi murmured a few words with her back to Amei.
"Yes, Princess. Didn't you instruct me last night to wake you up earlier? You said you wanted to wake up early to see Young Master Han and the others," Amei said with a smile.
"Oh, yes, yes, yes. I plan to take Brother Han and the others to the Keqin grassland today."
Upon hearing Amei's words, Bameisi sat up abruptly from the bed and looked at Amei.
Amei glanced at Bameisi and was so startled that she immediately cried out, "Ah—!"
Then, she dropped the washing utensils she was holding onto the ground.
Seeing Amei's horrified expression, Bameisi immediately cursed at her, "Amei, what are you going crazy about?"
"Prin... Princess, your, your face..." Amei stammered.
"What's wrong with my face?" Bameisi asked with a face full of confusion, seeing Amei's frightened expression.
"Your face, your face..."
Amei couldn't describe Bameisi's current appearance even after saying it for a while, so she hurried to Bameisi's dressing table, picked up the bronze mirror she usually used for her makeup, and handed it to her, gesturing for her to look at her own appearance.
Bameisi snatched the bronze mirror from Amei and immediately looked at her face. She was so terrified that she threw the mirror several meters away on the spot.
"Ah!!!"
"How did my face become like this?"
Bameisi's screams instantly pierced the entire tribe.
"Heavens, how did my face become like this!"
"Wuwu..."
"I don't want to live anymore!"
Bameisi cried as she spoke.
Her face had transformed overnight from a maiden's to that of an eighty-something-year-old wrinkled old woman, with three red moles the size of a thumb on her face. How would she ever face anyone again!
"Wuwuwu..."
Just then, Alqi and two other maids, who had heard the commotion, hurried into Bameisi's yurt.
Alqi and the two maids were also greatly shocked by Bameisi's appearance.
"Princess, how did your face become like this?" Alqi asked with a face full of confusion.
"This princess wants to ask you too! How did my face become like this? It must be that you lowly maids and servants drugged me," Bameisi said fiercely.
At this moment, Bameisi's heart had shattered. Regardless of anything, she pointed at anyone she saw and cursed them. Now that she had become like this, how would she ever face anyone!
Bameisi had just turned fifteen yesterday, and overnight she had transformed into an ugly old woman. Which woman could accept such a drastic change?
Seeing Bameisi's anger, Amei and Alqi immediately knelt down.
"Princess, we don't know what happened to your face. Your servant will immediately go find the shaman for you to examine," Amei recovered her senses, stood up from the ground, and quickly ran off to find the shaman.
