Ze Luo's heart sank, he knew that after he gave the answer, he would probably die soon.

But if I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't get any benefits in my own house, and I might even die a more miserable death.

"The Arabs in White." After Ze Luo said these four words, it was as if his neck had already felt the cold sharp edge of the sword placed on his neck, and his hair stood up involuntarily.

Li Hong was very calm. He continued to tease Bai Qi with one hand. His expression did not change at all. He continued to ask calmly, "Are you the person who went to Yumen Pass temporarily to pick up the cement, or were you the one who went there originally?"

Li Hong vaguely felt that he had made the right decision by accidentally killing Kasim at Yumen Pass.

It turned out that Kasim was the real contact person, but unfortunately he was shot to death on the city wall before the cement arrived.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the White Arab Empire was the real contact person, but he disappeared at Yumen Pass for no reason, so I will be the one to make contact with him." Ze Luo's words were evasive, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Is he missing or dead? Are you sure you don't know?" Li Hong glanced at him indifferently.

Ze Luo really couldn't connect the gentle young man in front of him with the cruel, decisive executioner in the eyes of some merchants in Yumen Pass.

...

...

They actually hung Kasim on the city wall to be blown by the cold wind all night, and when they set off early the next morning, they shot him to death without saying a word!

What a thunderbolt and cruel method! Although the people outside Yumen Pass are tough and fighting among the people is common, even in Qiuci City, there are always two or three deaths every day.

But like the young Grand Protector, he was hung on the city wall to blow in the cold wind for a disagreement, and then shot to death the next morning without saying a word. This is no different from a murderous devil.

Ze Luo looked at Li Hong's indifferent expression, and his heart indeed felt colder and colder. Ever since his subordinates reported to him yesterday that this young man was very likely the Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate, he couldn't help but connect this young man with the young man who shot and killed Kasim at Yumen Pass.

Now it seems to be true. Looking down at Li Hong's indifferent eyes, Ze Luo said, not daring to look him in the face: "It is said that he was shot dead by a young man on the Yumen Pass tower."

"Do the White Arabs know about this?" Li Hong continued to ask.

"Today I just..." Before Zhe Luo could finish his words, he saw a man behind Li Hong who didn't look like a man stand up and walk out.

The man doesn’t look like a man... The man doesn’t look like a man... Ze Luo forgot to answer Li Hong’s question. He stared at Hua Meng’s figure. His mind suddenly exploded and the word "Crown Prince" appeared in his mind with a bang.

The identity of the young Grand Protector in front of him suddenly appeared in his mind. Yes, except for the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, who else would dare to kill people so cruelly and decisively without asking right or wrong?

Ze Luo withdrew his gaze from Hua Meng who had already gone far away, and looked at Li Hong with some fear and panic. He had heard a long time ago that the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty was famous for his vengeful character.

The third prince of the White Caliphate, Kasim, fought with him for a seat and was shot dead on the city wall. And yesterday, I also fought with the Crown Prince for a seat and spoke rudely to him, and my fate was...

Thinking of this, Ze Luo couldn't help but break out in a sweat. Now he was blocked in his own house, and he was afraid that he was in great danger.

"Do you know Bai Chun? She is the thirteenth daughter of Bai Sunizhi, the King of Kucha, who was sent to the Tang Dynasty early on." Li Hong had a faint smile on his face, but in Zhe Luo's eyes, she became very dangerous.

Ze Luo swallowed his saliva. He just couldn't think of capturing the prince and blackmailing these people.

Because he could feel that the beautiful woman standing between him and the prince would definitely kill him before he rushed over.

Li Hong looked at him and nodded, smiled with satisfaction, and continued to ask: "Bai Sunizhi is not dead, where are they? Are they imprisoned by you?"

At this moment, loud shouts and screams were heard from the gate of Zheluo Mansion, which was far away from here.

Li Hong couldn't help but frowned and reached out his hand to comfort Bai Qi. Bai Qi stood up his ears, which couldn't stand up naturally yet, listened to the shouting and killing outside, and began to hum with bared teeth again.

He doesn't even look at his own size. If he is not careful, he will be stepped on to death. He still has the nerve to whimper. His howl doesn't sound like a wolf's howl, and his bark doesn't sound like a dog's bark.

Ze Luo's eyes turned and he saw that everyone was attracted by the deafening shouts and screams at the door. He immediately overturned the table in front of him and ran outside.

Pei Xingjian, Ma Zai and Li Jingxuan were horrified and shouted hastily, "Stop him, don't let him escape."

Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up and ran out to chase the fleeing Zhe Luo.

Li Hong remained calm. After comforting Bai Qi for a while, he slowly raised his head and said to himself, "I hope Jingwei can stop the messenger to the White Arabs on the road. Otherwise, the Western Regions will be in great trouble."

He put Bai Qi on Xiaoxue's chest, then stood up and walked out slowly. When passing by the musician and Hu Ji who were already standing in a daze in the corner, Li Hong bent down to pick up Hu Ji's clothes scattered on the carpet. Looking at Hu Ji who was still topless, he threw the clothes to her and then slowly walked out of the hall.

It had already gotten dark. Xia Zhi and the others had been bothering Li Hong for a long time about why the days here were so short. They had never forgotten this question since they arrived here.

Li Hong was really annoyed, so he found a round ball and gave it to her, telling her that it was the sun, and this was... this was the Western Regions. He randomly found a point for her to use as the axis of the earth, and then asked her to spin the ball in her hand.

Seeing Xia Zhi's blank eyes, as if to say, no matter how stupid you are, you don't have to use the same method to deceive the little dog Bai Qi to deceive me. Li Hong had no choice but to explain again: "The days in the Western Regions from the spring equinox to the autumn equinox are too long, so in winter, God shortens the days and lengthens the nights to balance them."

"Oh, now I understand what you said. Who can understand a ball? It must be the puppy's toy. Bai Qi will return it to you."

“…”

As Li Hong approached the gate of Ze Luo's mansion, the sounds of fighting gradually subsided, and the torches on the street illuminated the entire street like day.

Xia Zhi and Xiao Xue stood at the door beside Li Hong, while Mang Zhong had already put the sword in his hand on Zhe Luo's neck.

Pei Xingjian, Ma Zai and Li Jingxuan looked at each other in bewilderment. They really couldn't believe what they saw. The smell of blood floating in the air made them even more shocked. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal guards were so powerful!

The three hundred men of Ze Luo wanted to break through the fifty-man personal guards of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the door, but they failed miserably.

What shocked the three of them even more was that none of the Crown Prince's fifty personal guards were seriously injured, and some of them only had minor wounds.

The three of them gradually felt relieved at this time, and began to firmly believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really relied on these 20,000 people to force the prairie wolf Ashina Duzhi to flee in a panic after being chased on the grassland.

"All of them will be taken to the barracks and sent to Menyuan tomorrow. They are in need of strong laborers right now. Zeluo should keep them under strict watch, and immediately find Wufa and Wutan to interrogate them overnight." Li Hong said coldly, looking at the people with their disarmed portraits.

After he had finished speaking, he motioned to Pei Xingjian and the other two to follow him. Under the protection of other soldiers, they held torches and headed towards Zelona's old house.

Quan Yi was already waiting at the door. In the light of the fire, when he saw Li Hong, he hurried over.

He first glanced at Pei Xingjian and the others, then whispered in Li Hong's ear: "Grand Protector, this is a fortune. This Zhe Luo is really rich enough to rival a country. I even think that all the gold and silver treasures of the entire Qiuci Kingdom were hidden here by him."

Quan Yi's eyes were filled with excitement, and he looked even happier than if he had won a battle.

Li Hong sneered and said, "Be careful. You have to be alive to spend money. Zheluo hid it for a long time, but in the end it still belongs to us."

"Yes, the Grand Protector-General taught me a lesson. I have learned my lesson." Quan Yi lowered his head and patted his helmet, saying with a chuckle.

Li Hong walked slowly inside under his guidance. As if remembering something, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Quan Yi, then said: "I have no objection to you two exchanging letters, but can you not use me as a messenger? Is there something wrong with me? Or does she not know where you are?"

Quan Yi showed a rare look of embarrassment and said vaguely: "Grand Protector, I don't want to either, but...but the princess said...said..."

"She slandered me like this again?"

"Not really, but Her Royal Highness the Princess said that it would be faster to get the letter to you than to me, and it would be safer as it won't be opened and checked by anyone." Quan Yi said in embarrassment.

"Okay, you guys do this." Li Hong followed Quan Yi into an open space behind the mansion, and then saw that there were more than a hundred soldiers guarding the open space.

Just as he was about to ask Quan Yi, he heard Quan Yi say, "Grand Protector, what do you see here? It's really hidden. If I hadn't stepped on this place suddenly, I would have thought it was solid. I didn't expect that there is actually a large storage room underneath. Please come in."

Quan Yi led Li Hong slowly into the basement under the light of torches. The torches had already illuminated the basement, which looked more like an underground palace.

Li Hong sniffed and murmured, "Hmm? There's actually a vent here, not bad."

After saying that, they continued walking to the back under the leadership of Quan Yi and went directly to a small basement. Quan Yi opened a box casually.

"What the hell!" Li Hong was startled and couldn't help but shout out a word that Quan Yi didn't understand.
