Xie Yunqi's dark eyes were deep, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"By the way, how is the woman in the prison now?"

It took a long time for Chen Chi to realize that his brother was referring to a woman from the Western Regions who was captured near the military camp a few days ago. She claimed to be a princess from the Western Regions, and her name seemed to be... Oh yes, it was Wu Ya.

"She still refused to eat or drink. I had her maid interrogated, and she insisted that she was the real Princess Wuya, the niece of the current King of the Western Regions."

"But brother, this woman's origins are unknown. She might be spying on military intelligence under the guise of a princess. Should we just kill her?"

The real princess of the Western Regions had already followed Amur to Da Chu to celebrate the emperor's birthday. How could she appear near this remote military camp?

Xie Yunqi's eyelids were half closed, and his emotions were undetectable.

After a moment, he told Shen Chi: "Bring her to see me."

Chen Chi didn't understand, but he still went as he was told.

Not long after, two soldiers escorted a woman dressed in Western clothing into the tent. The woman's hair was disheveled and there was a little dust on her face, but it couldn't hide her delicate features.

But at this moment, her eyes were full of stubbornness and anger.

"Let me go, you bunch of ruffians. Do you know who I am? When my uncle Wang comes, I will definitely raze this broken military camp of yours." Wu Ya struggled, her voice shrill.

Xie Yunqi raised his eyes and glanced at her, his tone flat: "Princess Wuya?"

Wu Ya was about to continue yelling and cursing, but after seeing Xie Yunqi's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment!

"Is it you?"

"So you're here?"

Wu Ya's eyes widened, and the anger on her face gradually turned into obsession and infatuation.

It turned out that the reason why Wu Ya appeared near the military camp was because she saw Xie Yunqi from afar at the market last time. Just one glance made her fall completely in love with him.

She had never seen such a handsome man. Unlike the dark-skinned men of the grasslands, he had fair skin, picturesque features, and was tall and long-legged. Just standing there, he looked like a tall, upright pine or bamboo tree. He also exuded an aura of "keep away from strangers," which made Wu Ya even more fascinated.

You know, Wuya's father was the heir appointed by the old king of the Western Regions and was the crown prince of the Western Regions. That's why everyone on the grasslands called her Princess.

If it weren't for Amur's rise, her father would be the king now.

So Wu Ya was raised like a star since she was a child, and all the men in the tribe wanted to get her.

But Wu Ya knew that they were only interested in her status and beauty.

She found it extremely boring.

The man that Wu Ya is looking for should not only be attracted by her beauty and power, but should also be the bravest and most powerful man in the world.

Until that day, she met Xie Yunqi at the market.

Wu Ya's heart seemed to stop beating in an instant, and when she looked at the other men around her, it was as if she saw big white steamed buns.

Even Wata, the most handsome man in the Western Regions, became like plain water in her eyes, bland and tasteless.

Therefore, Wu Ya immediately followed Xie Yunqi with her maid and came to the vicinity of the military camp.

But he didn't expect that not long after he lay down in the bushes, he was pulled out by two vicious soldiers, and then...

There was no more, and then I was locked up until now.

It was not until this moment that she saw the man she had been thinking about again.

"Are you the general here? No wonder you came here after leaving the market, but why do you look different from them?" Wu Ya opened her dark eyes and pointed at the two soldiers behind her, as if she was really curious.

Shen Chi raised an eyebrow at the side.

It turned out that this woman had seen her brother at the market, and became attracted to him, so she secretly followed him to the military camp.

Xie Yunqi's eyes were slightly cold. "I heard that the King of the Western Regions went on a diplomatic mission to Great Chu, and Princess Wuya also went with him. How dare you pretend to be a princess of the Western Regions? You are simply a traitor!"

As he spoke, he solemnly ordered the soldiers, "Come here, drag this spy pretending to be the princess out and execute him on the spot!"

"etc!"

Wu Ya panicked and shouted hurriedly, "I'm not pretending, I'm really Wu Ya! The one who followed Uncle Wang to Da Chu is a fake!"

Seeing that Xie Yunqi still had no expression on his face, Wu Ya was so anxious that she almost cried.

"I, I have a way to prove my identity! I have a brother named Helian Shuo. He was previously hunted by his uncle, the Amur King, and has been in exile ever since. He is now gathering his old men in the northern grasslands. You can take me to him. As soon as he sees me, he'll know who I am!"

"As long as you can find my brother, I can prove my identity. Then you can let me go back to the Western Regions, okay?"

She looked at Xie Yunqi eagerly, her eyes full of pleading.

Xie Yunqi listened quietly, his eyelids half closed, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The tent fell silent for a moment, with only the occasional whistling sound of the wind coming from outside.

Shen Chi watched from the side, muttering to himself.

I don’t know whether what the Crow Princess said is true or not. If there really is someone like Helian Shuo, he might be able to serve as a breakthrough.

After a long while, Xie Yunqi finally spoke slowly, his voice expressing neither joy nor anger: "Helian Shuo? Northern grasslands?"

Princess Wuya nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, everything I said is true, you must believe me!"

Xie Yunqi looked at her anxious yet somewhat innocent expression, and an unpredictable curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, I'll trust you for now." Xie Yunqi said calmly, "But you have to stay here until you find your brother."
