'Shua...'

It was a silent night, everything was still, and suddenly an arrow shot through the window paper into the house.

The next moment, the men in black who were lurking around jumped out silently, and then there was a fierce fighting sound outside the inn.

A quarter of an hour later, a subordinate came in to report: "Your Highness, these were all death squads. When they were about to be captured, they all committed suicide by taking poison. Not a single one was left alive."

Mu Qianxiao poured himself a cup of tea in the dim room. He smiled slightly, his eyes flickering. "We've just arrived at the border, are they so impatient?"

"It's all taken care of, go ahead."

After his subordinates left, Mu Qianxiao walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

This inn stands at the junction of Hui State and the countries in the Western Regions, providing accommodation for traveling merchants.

Standing here, Mu Qianxiao could feel the wind and sand coming from the Western Regions. Even a casual breeze was not as gentle as the one blowing from the capital.

It was hard for those assassins to follow him all the way and only started to take action here.

Even though those were all death warriors, Mu Qianxiao knew very well in his heart that the ones who wanted his life were none other than his father and his good brothers.

The prince's power was too great, threatening the emperor's status and majesty, so the emperor naturally had to suppress him.

There has indeed been quite a lot of movement in Loulan in the past two months, but there are many ways for Hui State to find out the situation, but the emperor sent him here.

It can be said that when his father sent him to Loulan to gather information, he had no intention of letting him return alive.

The emperor doesn't even need to take action himself, because the other brothers who want to dethrone him from the position of crown prince will do it on his behalf.

Tonight's suicide squad is just the first wave. It goes without saying that there will be many more in the future.

Since Mu Qianxiao dared to come out, he was not afraid of them attacking him.

It is still uncertain who will win or lose.

Before dawn the next day, Mu Qianxiao and his group left the inn and continued their journey west. They entered the territory of Loulan before noon.

Unlike the impression of Loulan, people from the Central Plains can be seen everywhere here. Although the Loulan people speak the Central Plains dialect with an accent, they can still communicate fluently.

After getting rid of those who were following them, Mu Qianxiao and others stayed in an inn.

"Your Highness, look."

In the lobby of the inn, a bearded man dressed in Western clothing was preaching the order that the Loulan Saint had just issued.

Every household must send one adult to join the army, regardless of gender, but the person must be over 18 years old, and after joining the army, they will receive a monthly salary.

After the bearded man finished preaching and answered some questions for the people present, he left the inn and continued to preach elsewhere.

"Your Highness, it's fine if we have men, but why do we need women to join the army? What can women do in the army? Wash clothes and cook?" someone around Mu Qianxiao asked in confusion. "I heard that Loulan has always respected saints, but there is a natural power gap between women and men."

Mu Qianxiao didn't say anything. Based on his observations along the way, the women here were actually stronger than those in the Central Plains.

But it's just a little stronger.

"Send someone to follow."

When Mu Qianxiao sent people to follow the bearded man, the news of his stay at the inn also reached the saint.

"Since everyone is here, let's proceed according to the plan." The saint said with a smile, stroking the little wolf cub in her arms.

The maidservant following her was a little hesitant, "Saint, do you really want to do this?"

"Xiao Ai, you can't be so compassionate. Everything we do now is for the better development of Loulan. Only when Loulan is strong can our merchants have more say when doing business with the people of the Central Plains."

The saint spoke seriously. Xiao Ai thought for a moment and nodded, then went out to convey the saint's instructions.

After watching Xiao Ai leave, the Saint placed the snow wolf cub in her arms on the bed and said slowly, "As far back as I can remember, I have been the Saint of Loulan. When my mother died, she said that I have the ability to protect Loulan."

"But I'm already twenty years old. I've never seen any supernatural powers. I don't think I'm any different from other people. If there's any difference, it's probably because I'm better at reincarnating, and I was born into my mother's womb."

If she really had the divine power to protect the people of Loulan, why did her mother die of illness?

She couldn't even save her own mother, so how could she protect all the people of Loulan?

After her mother died, her father noticed her doubts.

Tell her four words: everything depends on human effort.

But her father left her just like her mother did, without telling her what to do.

Looking at the books from the Central Plains left by her father, she realized that if she wanted to protect the people of Loulan, she must first become strong.

There were many things she wanted to do, but she saw that those books were just empty talk.

The appearance of Yun Yi helped her turn the military plans on paper into real actions.

After successively annexing the small countries around Loulan, the people from the Central Plains who came to Loulan to do business were indeed much more restrained than before.

The merchants in Loulan no longer allowed them to take whatever they wanted and were now qualified to bargain with them.

She saw these changes firsthand.

"Xiao Ai is still too kind. I hope she won't let me down." The saint looked at the screen beside her. The snow wolf cub on the bed seemed to know what she was thinking and ran over first.

She yelled twice at the person behind the screen, but it wasn't a threatening howl, more like a coquettish cry.

"It's so unfair. I was the one who saved you, so why are you so close to him?" The saint kicked the snow wolf cub who was rolling on the ground.

The snow wolf cub immediately circled around her legs. Its fawning look didn't look like a wild wolf at all, it looked more like a little puppy.

"I really shouldn't have brought you back. You don't have any of the bloodiness that a wolf should have." The saint looked at its appearance and said with some regret.

"It still has the necessary bloodiness, but it knows that the Saint is close to it, so it won't be aggressive towards you."

As Yun Yi spoke, he threw the dart in his hand out of the window, and then a pigeon fell from the sky.

The snow wolf cub smelled the blood and immediately jumped out of the window and started eating the pigeon happily.

"That's better." The saint was slightly satisfied after seeing this scene.

Yun Yi showed the drawn defense map to the Saint.

"The land hasn't been conquered yet, and you're already drawing a defense map?" The saint glanced at Yun Yi, then turned her gaze to the defense map.

The defense facilities are built according to the terrain, making them easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, this is on the premise that it has been built. If you want to build it, it will require huge financial and material resources.

Whether it is attacking other small countries or recruiting soldiers, it is impossible without money.

In the past twenty years, the saint had never been in such urgent need of money as at this moment.

I hope everything goes well for Xiao Ai and the others.
