Children of Loulan

These bandits not only robbed goods, but also threatened the victims' families to send a large amount of money. However, regardless of whether the victims' families met their demands, the robbed people would eventually die.

Even more outrageous is that some merchants even hired escort agencies to escort them for safety, but they still could not escape the fate of being killed. The government also sent troops to encircle and suppress these bandits many times, but because the mountain stronghold was in a dangerous terrain and was easy to defend but difficult to attack, many encirclement and suppression operations ended in failure.

This undoubtedly encouraged the arrogance of these bandits and made them even more unscrupulous.

As time went by, these bandits became more and more arrogant and their respect for the imperial court gradually disappeared. Not only did they rob the government silver recklessly, but they also brutally killed the soldiers who were responsible for escorting the silver. Faced with these bandits' unscrupulous provocation of the imperial court's bottom line and the innocent merchants who died tragically, the government could no longer tolerate it and finally had to ask for help from the garrison commander.

And this guard was the father of the Fifth Master. Coincidentally, they could be considered descendants of the Li family. However, due to the thrilling battle for the throne, their ancestors resolutely chose to come to this remote place in order to protect themselves and avoid being implicated, and declared to the outside world that they were just a branch of the Li family.

The real name of the Fifth Master is Li Qingze. When he learned about the evil deeds of these bandits, he was filled with righteous indignation and volunteered without hesitation to send troops to wipe out these evil bandits. However, when he was checking the portraits of the bandit leaders, he was shocked by an astonishing discovery - one of them was the man he had saved not long ago!

What was even more unexpected was that he later learned that the reason why the government had been unable to capture the stronghold for so long was because of its extremely dangerous terrain. Faced with such a complicated situation, Li Qingze thought carefully and resolutely decided to change his strategy and take the initiative to break into the stronghold. He planned to cooperate with his father to attack from both inside and outside and capture the stronghold in one fell swoop.

In order to gain the trust of these mountain bandits, he not only fabricated a false identity, but also asked the government to cooperate in pretending to arrest him. Since he came to the mountain stronghold, he has played the role of cautious to the fullest. His every move and every word made people feel that he was always on high alert, as if he was afraid that someone would tip off the government. He never walked around the mountain stronghold casually, let alone inquire about anything. He just played the role of a "frightened bird" wholeheartedly.

In this way, half a year passed. During this half year, he had always maintained this high level of vigilance, without revealing any flaws. Finally, his efforts were rewarded - he was named the fifth leader of the village.

As his position improved, he began to "let down" some of his guard, but only a little. He still rarely let others serve him, and did everything himself. The boss once laughed at him for this, saying that he was too cautious.

However, after another half a year, he had completely gained the trust of several heads of the family. At this time, he felt that the time was ripe, so he asked the government to issue another arrest warrant, claiming that there was a funeral in his family, in order to lure him into captivity.

As for him, he pretended to sneak back home to attend the funeral, but in fact he was discussing with his father how to wipe out the stronghold.

However, what he had never expected was that during his absence, the village had kidnapped these Loulan girls. This was beyond his expectation! What was even more unexpected was that not only did several of the leaders want to marry these Loulan girls, but the eldest leader also insisted that he marry one as well.

However, the plan he and his father had already agreed on would not be implemented until two months later, and he absolutely could not disrupt the entire plan because of such a small matter. However, if he really married a wife, wouldn't that harm the girl? This put him in a dilemma.

Just when he was in a dilemma and thinking hard, an unexpected encounter made him brighten up - he met Ayi. From Ayi's eyes, he saw a kind of firmness and forbearance, which gave him an idea.

So, he resolutely decided to take a risk and cooperate with Ayi to pretend to get married. Originally, he thought it was just a simple cooperation, as long as he acted according to the plan, there shouldn't be too many problems.

However, just as the plan was about to be implemented, he suddenly felt a strong worry in his heart, worried about Ayi's safety. After all, this plan was full of variables and risks, and the consequences would be disastrous if he was not careful.

So at the last critical moment, he immediately took Ayi into the dark room he had prepared in advance to ensure her safety. Only in this way could he reunite with his father without worrying that Ayi would be harmed.

What surprised him even more was that when he opened the door of the darkroom again, he was dumbfounded by the scene in front of him - Ayi had actually fallen asleep in there crying! Her tears were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, and it was obvious that she had just experienced a painful torture.

When he gently woke Ayi up, her eyes slowly opened, and at that moment, her eyes met his, as if the whole world had stopped turning. However, the next moment, Ayi suddenly flew into his arms like a frightened bird and hugged him tightly.

He was totally unprepared for this scene, and his body froze, but was soon melted by Ayi's warmth. At that moment, his heart seemed to skip a beat, and a strange feeling came over him.

After returning to the military camp, General Li quickly took action and arranged for people to send these Loulan girls back. After hearing the news, Ayi was extremely anxious. She knew that she couldn't just be sent back to her country. Now she had no strength and would definitely die if she went back, so she had to find the major general and ask him if he could let her stay, no matter what!

However, the rules in the military camp were strict, and it was not a place where a foreign woman like her could move around freely. She repeatedly asked the soldiers in charge of guarding them to help pass the message to the major general, but the reply she received was that the major general was not in the camp. This made her feel that the soldiers were lying and they were not willing to pass on the message for her.

As the date of repatriation approached, the major general still had no news, and Ayi felt desperate and helpless. With nowhere else to go, she made a bold decision - she claimed that she was the major general's wife and had married the major general in the mountain village.

She wanted to use this lie to attract General Li's attention, and at the same time question him whether he really wanted to be a heartless person who would abandon her after having sex with her.

Sure enough, not long after this statement was spread, General Li came to see her in person. This General Li was about middle-aged, and he was wearing a heavy armor, looking majestic and imposing, which was intimidating.

When his eyes fell on Ayi, Ayi could not help but feel nervous and frightened. However, despite some fear in her heart, Ayi still tried to muster up the courage to face General Li.
