The leader was a burly man with a large beard, blue eyes, a thick scarf on his head, and rings inlaid with gemstones on his hands.

"I have proposed to this Loulan princess time and time again, but have been rejected each time. Now I hear that the Xianbei cavalry have reached the gates of Loulan."

"The prime minister of Loulan Kingdom secretly sent me a message that the princess has escaped and is coming along the Peacock River."

"It seems they've come to our Cheshi Kingdom seeking help."

"As long as the princess is willing to marry me, I will definitely ask my father to send troops to save the Loulan Kingdom, hehe!"

"We haven't seen anyone for miles around. These ten or so riders are acting suspiciously. They might be the princess and her entourage!"

Prince Anxin smiled happily.

"Prince, how do you explain the agreement between Your Majesty and Yuchi Jiong, the younger brother of the Yuchi Xianbei chieftain, after we sent troops to rescue Loulan?"

"A servant of Prince Anxin asked."

"Fool!"

The prince said disdainfully, "Of course we should wait until the Yuchi Xianbei people conquer Loulan and loot it before we send troops."

“We will accept all the benefits offered by Yuchi Xianbei, and the Loulan people will be grateful to us.”

"Princess Sharde, needless to say, was extremely grateful to me, haha!"

"The prince is wise!"

The surrounding attendants loudly complimented him.

It was quite a clever scheme. The conversation between the prince of Cheshi and his entourage was carried by the wind to the ears of the White Stone Commander and Princess Sharde, who were hiding behind the sand dunes.

Shard immediately gritted his teeth, realizing how naive he had been.

The Cheshi Kingdom had long been in league with the Xianbei.

Even if she sacrificed herself to marry the prince of Cheshi Kingdom, Loulan Kingdom would still inevitably suffer the destruction of its homeland in the end.

What she didn't expect was that the Prime Minister Anran Weiji had actually been having an affair with the Cheshi Kingdom.

Even the fact that Shard disguised himself and left the city was leaked to the prince of Cheshi.

If An Ranweiji is an inside agent, wouldn't Father be in danger?

In a moment of panic, Shard accidentally lashed out with his whip, striking a horse.

Hurry!

The warhorse, in pain, jumped up.

This shout, however, immediately alerted the prince and his entourage of the Cheshi Kingdom!

They all looked towards the back of the hill.

Oh no, we've been discovered!

Bai Shi was immediately shocked.
