Children of Loulan

The barbarian looked at Bayer with anger on his face. A weak woman dared to fight him. He was instantly enraged and wanted to kill her with a knife. He raised the knife high, trying to end her life with one blow. This shocking scene fell into the eyes of everyone. Everyone was terrified and looked at Bayer on the ground with sympathy, as if she was already a dead body.

Bayer was also very frightened. She stared at the knife pointing at her. She had nowhere to hide, so she could only close her eyes and use her arms to protect her face. Suddenly, with a "pop", the sound of the sword piercing the flesh came. Bayer paused for a moment, but did not feel any pain in her body, so she slowly lowered her arms that were covering her face.

The scene before her made her open her eyes wide in shock. She saw Hanguli with her eyes closed, holding a sword tightly in her hand, and the other end of the sword had pierced the heart of the man who raised the knife to kill her.

She stared at the scene in a daze. Suddenly, the barbarian fell to the ground with a clang, and her young lady dropped the bloody sword in her hand. Then she fell to the ground with a plop. Her body and veil were covered with blood, and her body was still shaking.

Bayer crawled over and hugged her like a gust of wind. Dar also woke up from his dream and crawled over. He knelt side by side with Bayer and dragged Hanguli back to a safe place. The two of them held Hanguli tightly in their arms as if they were protecting a treasure. Dar's tears were like a flood that broke through the dam.

She kept calling out, "Miss, Miss, it's okay Miss."

Bayer's crying was like the sound of a broken string, and it could not stop. Despite the two people's hugs and comfort, Hanguli was still cold, sweating, and shaking.

Her eyes were like a frightened deer, staring blankly at the man she had killed. Just now, she was dragged to the ground by Dal, and she also pressed heavily on Dal's legs. She wanted to stand up and help Dal up, but because of the shock, her legs were weak to stand up. Until she saw that the barbarian not only beat Bayer, but also wanted to kill Bayer. At that moment, she only wanted to save Bayer. When she stood up in a panic, her hand suddenly touched something. She didn't even look at what she touched, but instinctively grabbed it tightly, closed her eyes, and stabbed the barbarian's heart fiercely.

When she felt the object in her hand seemed to encounter resistance, she dared to slowly open her eyes. The scene in front of her almost suffocated her. She was stunned, keeping the sword raised, as if time had frozen. It was not until the man fell to the ground with a "clang" that she came to her senses, threw away the bloody sword in her hand like a frightened bird, and collapsed to the ground.

She stared at the lifeless body on the ground with horror, her body completely frozen, as if held in place by an invisible force. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair, and no matter how Dar and Bayer dragged her, she could not move her feet.

At this moment, she felt cold all over, and her limbs became soft and weak as if they had lost control. Her heartbeat accelerated rapidly, as if it would jump out of her chest in the next second.

Ziya saw everything she did. He was shocked. He never expected that this seemingly weak woman would have such great courage to stand up for a maid and kill a brutal and fierce man with her own hands.

Although she was also frightened and her face turned pale after killing someone, he had never seen a weak woman from any family fight desperately with a foreign barbarian whose strength was several times greater than hers for an insignificant maid.

Just as he was doing his best to resist the foreign enemies and saw that his defense line was about to collapse, suddenly, a roar came from outside:

"Quick! Rush into the house and protect the concubine!"

Instantly, reinforcements came from all directions like a tide. Not long after, all the enemies were annihilated. Looking at the corpses on the ground, many of the concubines were frightened and fainted. Ziya also took a sneak peek at Hanguli and saw that she was still shaking. He knew that she was really frightened this time.

He made a prompt decision, ordered people to clean up the scene, and then ran out without hesitation. He was eager to check on his master, but before he ran far, he saw his master had returned. He hurried forward and asked with concern:

"Master, how are you?" He didn't dare to ask directly if he was injured, so he could only ask in such a tactful way. Keremu looked at him with understanding, and found that he was also stained with blood. He immediately realized that this place had also been attacked, so he frowned and asked: "Why did you run here? How are those concubines now?"

Ziya lowered his head and replied: "My lord, the concubines were not injured, but they were all frightened. Besides..."

Keremu looked indifferent and asked, "What else?"

Ziya reported everything that had just happened, including how Hanguli killed a barbarian, to Keremu. After hearing this, Keremu said:

"I really didn't expect that she is such a kind and righteous person. She can even be so considerate of old times when it comes to treating a little maid."

Ziya said with emotion: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Before she killed someone, she was so scared that she collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up. However, the moment she saw her maid in danger, her eyes were full of determination to save the maid."

Keremu listened to Ziya's description, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable joy. He raised his lips slightly and whispered softly: "Well, she really has good taste and knows how to choose people. Someone who values ​​friendship and loyalty like this will definitely not bring any trouble to her family."

Ziya stared at his master and noticed that when talking about that "she", Keremu's eyes sparkled brightly. He knew in his heart who the "she" in his master's mouth was referring to, and he couldn't help but remind him with worry:

"Master, the girl's background... may not meet the Queen's expectations."

As soon as he finished speaking, Keremu's face turned grim, and he shouted sternly: "Of course I know, but this matter must not be leaked, otherwise she and her family will face huge risks. When I have enough strength and confidence in the future, I will marry her openly." After saying this, his eyes were firm and resolute.

After that, Keremu walked forward and said, "When you have settled everything, come and see me immediately."

Looking at the back of his master walking away, Ziya rolled his eyes helplessly and answered loudly: "Yes"

He turned around and muttered in a low voice:

"Humph! Every time you mention that girl, look at your behavior, the look in your eyes and your expression... who do you think you can hide this from?"

Although she was slightly dissatisfied with her master's unconcealed emotional behavior, Ziya was still very anxious deep down, thinking hard about how to help her master avoid the queen's eyes and ears.

On the other side, with Dar and Bayer's constant soft calls and comforts, Hanguli finally regained consciousness. However, at this moment, her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and even the veil on her face was tightly attached to her face due to sweat. Fortunately, Dar was quick to remove Hanguli's veil in time.

Hanguli, who had regained consciousness, suddenly reached out and grabbed Dal's arm tightly. Her body trembled and she stammered:

"I...I...I killed someone...I actually killed someone!"

Seeing that his master finally woke up, her originally panic-stricken and empty-eyed expression gradually returned to normal, Dahl excitedly hugged her tightly and gently comforted her:

"It's okay, Miss. Those hateful foreigners have been driven away. We are safe now, completely safe."

Recalling the thrilling scene just now, Hanguli's heroic act of rushing out to save Baier without hesitation was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the two sisters and became an indelible memory. They all silently swore in their hearts that they would be loyal to the lady until death and never betray her. If they broke the oath, they would be struck by lightning.

After all the bodies were cleared, Ziya quickly called the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse and physical examination of everyone one by one. After a meticulous examination, the imperial physician prescribed some prescriptions with calming effects to help these frightened ladies calm down and rest in peace. After all, this night was a terrible nightmare for everyone.

Ziya was busy like a tireless bee, counting the death toll and settling the wounded. After finishing all the matters here, he did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately rushed to the room where Keremu was.

"Master." Ziya called softly after entering the room.

At this time, Keremu had already changed into casual clothes and was sitting quietly at the table wiping his sword.

Hearing the voice, Keremu raised his head and looked at Ziya: "Is everything handled?"

Ziya nodded respectfully and replied, "My Lord, everything has been handled according to your instructions. The concubines are fine, but they were all frightened. I have arranged for the imperial physician to prescribe some calming prescriptions for them with the best medicinal materials, and told them to rest more. Among them, the concubine named Hanguli was too frightened, and I specifically asked the imperial physician to take good care of her.

In addition, we lost more than 100 soldiers, more than 200 were injured, and the enemy lost nearly 400! "

Keremu nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction: "Well, you did a good job. But you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Next, you need to focus on investigating an important matter."

Upon hearing this, Ziya immediately straightened up and asked, "Master, may I ask what is so important?"

Keremu said with a serious look, "Check carefully whether anyone in our group behaved abnormally or suspiciously during the period from leaving the palace to arriving in Mocheng and then arriving in the palace. No clues can be missed!"
