"What did you say?"

Li Qingluo stood up from his chair excitedly.

"Victimized? What does it mean to be victimized? How dare he!?"

"That's the princess who was married to a foreign princess!"

"And the Daliang bride escort team must have at least a hundred people. With such a big commotion, how come no one in the city knew about it?"

Liu Li quickly said: "Of course they don't know."

"Because the marriage party was lured into a trap set by Bazaar before they even reached Eagle City."

Li Qingluo: "Go on."

Liu Li: "I didn't know about this at first."

"Batur has been trying to curry favor with this bazaar for years, so he let it slip when he was drunk one time."

"He said that during the last tornado, he went to work for Bazaar and deliberately led over a hundred people in the direction of Loulan."

"I was curious, so I asked him why he did that."

"He said that Lord Bazaar didn't want peace between Daliang and the Western Regions. He's been advocating a war to invade Daliang and capture Nanjing, allowing the Western Regions to rule the Central Plains and become the ruler of the world. That way, Bazaar could marry at least a hundred Central Plains women as concubines."

"But the Imperial Court has been dragging its feet, so Bazaar is very angry."

"They are using this Daliang marriage to completely ruin the relationship between the two countries."

Li Qingluo: "But why would leading them in the direction of Loulan ruin the relationship between the two countries?"

Liu Li: "Young Master, you may not know this, but Loulan is the richest tribal kingdom among the thirteen kingdoms in the Western Regions. It is located in a low-lying valley."

"But the road to Loulan is very difficult and rugged."

"Along the way, there are not only many ferocious snakes and beasts, but also many underground tombs that eat people."

"There have been rumors in the past that many caravans would disappear on the grasslands if they didn't have someone from Loulan to lead the way."

"Based on my experiences in the Western Regions over the years, Loulan is indeed as mysterious and strange as the rumors say. Many people yearn for it, but are unable to reach it."

"My guess is that Bazaar wanted to lure the princess from Daliang to Loulan. If anything happened along the way, Bazaar could put the blame on Loulan, saying that Loulan deliberately killed the princess."

"From now on, not only can we sow discord between the Imperial Court and Loulan, but we can also completely destroy the peace proposals between Daliang and the Western Regions."

Li Qingluo: "Is the relationship between Bazaar and Loulan not harmonious?"

Liu Li: "The young master is smart."

"Ever since Bazaar usurped the Eagle Kingdom's throne, the Loulan royal family, with its pure and noble bloodline, has always looked down on him. So naturally, he harbored resentment in his heart."

"The relationship between Yingcheng and Loulan has been very tense in recent years."

"Loulan rarely participates in the political affairs of the Western Regions Imperial Court, but its financial support to the Imperial Court has always been continuous."

"Because it has many gold and silver mines, as well as the largest number of beauties and fine wines in the entire Western Regions. It is also the most beautiful place in the entire Western Regions."

"Baza has always coveted Loulan, and Loulan's military strength has indeed always been inferior to that of the Eagle Kingdom. However, due to the majesty of the imperial court, they dare not act rashly."

"Young Master, guess what Bazaar wants to gain from this opportunity?"

Li Qingluo knew that the relationships among the various tribes in the Western Regions were complicated.

But I didn't expect it to be so complicated.

"Could it be that he still wants to invade Loulan?"

From what Liu Li said, it seemed that Bazaar's inheritance of the Eagle Kingdom had an unknown origin.

Liu Li: "That's what I guessed too."

Li Qingluo looked at Liu Li seriously again.

Unexpectedly, this person has such a broad vision.

Moreover, his sensitivity to events is beyond that of ordinary people.

But in the end, I felt relieved.

What Liu Li meant by Nanping being murdered was not what Li Qingluo thought.

Fortunately, Nanping may still be alive.

As long as you live!

"And as for Princess Anar, do you have any leads?"

After hearing this, Liu Li said, "Young Master, you asked Queen Mother Anar of the Wusun Kingdom, right? She did come to Yingcheng a few days ago."

"But she only stayed for one day. As soon as the sun rose, she stormed out with her men."

Li Qingluo was confused: "Angry? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Is there a Han Chinese person with her? Have you noticed this?"

Liu Li shook his head after hearing this. "I'm just a commoner. I can't look down on the rich and powerful. I've only heard about this incident. As for the Han people you mentioned... I have no idea about them."

"But I heard that Queen Mother Anar also went to the north."

Li Qingluo's heart skipped a beat.

"You mean, it's also in the direction of Loulan?"

Liu Li nodded.

Li Qingluo leaned on the back of the chair and looked at his fingers gently.

"Then can you find a Loulan person you trust? Let's go to Loulan too!"

Liu Li seemed a little hesitant after hearing this.

"Young Master, do you really want to go?"

"The journey to Loulan is extremely dangerous. If we are not careful, we might all..."

Liu Li looked at everyone with some concern.

Li Qingluo: "You go and make the arrangements."

Liu Li understood, stood up, nodded, and then stepped back.

Sha Yi followed Liu Li to the back.

After a while, he came back and said, "He and his family hugged each other and cried."

"It seems that he really didn't expect that he could survive."

Zhui Yu said, "I can't trust this man completely."

"What if he also deliberately wants to lead us to Loulan?"

Kill one and you can only look at Li Qingluo.

Assassins like them are not allowed to have their own opinions.

He does whatever his master tells him to do.

Li Qingluo: "Wait."

"Wait for Que'er and the others to come first."

"Wait for Xuan Cang."

In just an hour, Que'er and the others arrived.

It was just a small farmhouse and it couldn't accommodate so many people like Li Qingluo, so they set up camp in the open space next to it, and the tents were set up in no time.

Li Qingluo had just entered the tent when Que'er came in and said, "Miss, the whole city is arresting people. It took us a lot of effort to get out."

"But I may not be able to hide outside the city for too long."

"What if suspicion falls upon us..."

Li Qingluo: "No rush."

"I have a good place. However, I need to test Liu Li again to see if he is trustworthy."

Li Qingluo waited patiently.

At night, Xuan Cang also came back.

"Brother, how are you?"

Li Qingluo personally poured a cup of tea for Xuan Cang.

Zhui Yu stood by, holding his sword and watching, with no intention of leaving.

Li Qingluo was too lazy to care about him.

Along the way, whenever Xuan Cang appeared, Zhui Yu would stand by like a ghost.

How could Li Qingluo not know what he was thinking?

He was basically keeping watch on behalf of his Highness.

Li Qingluo is a man of integrity and has nothing to fear, so naturally it doesn't matter.

Anyway, he can listen to anything.

Xuan Cang, however, often had a gloomy face, perhaps because he was not used to such a situation.

Xuan Cang shook his head: "No news."

Xuan Cang went to investigate today about the second senior sister and sixth senior brother in the sect as well as the disciples from other sects.

After all, it has been a long time since they set out.

Judging by the time, we should arrive in Eagle City around the same time as them.

But now, there is no news from them.

It was as if he had disappeared. Since entering the Western Regions, he had completely cut off contact with Xuan Cang.

"Don't worry, brother. Maybe they were delayed on the way."

"We can leave some letters behind. If they come to Eagle City, they'll know where we went."

Xuan Cang rubbed his forehead and sighed, "This is the only way."

"Are we leaving for Hara City tomorrow?"

Li Qingluo: "No. Let's go to Loulan."

As soon as the voice fell, Sha Er's low voice came from outside: "Girl, someone is coming."

Hundreds of officers and soldiers came towards this side.

Li Qingluo immediately put on a veil and sat motionless in the tent.

When the officers and soldiers came over, Liu Li quickly ran out of the yard to deal with them.

Those officers and soldiers naturally saw the tents here.

Li Qingluo didn't understand a word of Western dialect, but soon Liu Li came over and whispered, "Miss, they want you to come out."

Li Qingluo: "What are they planning to do?"

Liu Li: "They said Yalikun is dead, and now they suspect Batur killed him."

"But Batur is missing too. I heard that Batur has been in close contact with us recently, so I wanted to ask you a few questions."

Li Qingluo immediately understood what Liu Li meant.

She turned to look at Zhui Yu, who nodded heavily.

And quickly made a sign language: "He didn't lie."

Zhui Yu understands the Western dialect.

Therefore, Li Qingluo's test of Liu Li just now was considered to have passed successfully.

Li Qingluo made a gesture to Zhuiyu.

Zhuiyu turned around, lifted the curtain and walked out.

"Be bold!"

"This is Princess Luoluo of Mantuo City. How dare you be so rude!?"

"Don't back down yet!"

Princess Luo Luo's voice in the Western dialect frightened Liu Li.

Those Westerners outside the tent looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The princess of Mantuo City?"

"Hasn't there been no news for a long time?"

"They said he died on the road, how come he suddenly appeared again?"

"She must be a fake. If she really is the princess, why not tell Lord Bazaar and move into the palace in the city? Shouldn't she suffer here?"

"There must be something fishy going on here. If we arrest them first and torture them severely, won't we find out?"

"It would be even better if she's a princess. Our Lord Bazaar likes beauties from the Central Plains."

Before the obscene laughter died down, with a "whoosh" sound, an arrow pierced the man's head.

Li Qingluo gave an order: "Kill them all."

She put away her bow and sat inside the tent.

Kill one and wait and rush out, unable to contain himself any longer.

Suddenly there were screams everywhere.

Liu Li turned around and ran towards the house, but he just closed the door of his own house and asked his wife, children and elderly people to stay inside.

He pulled out a machete from the pile of firewood at the door, rushed out and chopped at the officers and soldiers.

Nanny Zheng looked in and poured tea for Li Qingluo.

"Girl, that Liu Li has some skills."

Li Qingluo hummed and asked, "Where are Qin Ling and Li Yunchu?"

"Why didn't I hear their shouts?"

Que'er also realized something was wrong: "Could it be that he ran away?"

Madam Zheng shouted, "They ran away a long time ago. They ran to Liu Li's yard. They don't know how to save themselves!"

Li Qingluo shook his head.

The screams of fighting outside continued to ring out.

Li Qingluo was still eating fruits calmly.

The strong smell of blood penetrated her nostrils and she suddenly lost her appetite.

After everyone was killed, Shayi and Zhuiyu rushed in excitedly and prepared to report. However, Li Qingluo suddenly felt nauseous when he saw that they were covered in blood.

He turned around and retched.
