"Go!"

At this moment, about a dozen of Abe's accomplices, oblivious to the danger, shouted and rushed over.

The knights of the guard camp did not hesitate. With a flash of their blades, the dozen or so men were instantly decapitated, their blood and intestines spilling onto the ground.

This immediately made the others realize the gap, and they huddled together, trembling, no longer daring to step forward.

Seeing his own people in such a sorry state, Abe turned ashen-faced!

However, he was still incredibly confused.

A large number of Xianbei cavalry poured into the city from the south of Loulan, but the Han cavalry that appeared behind the Xianbei did not break in as much.

Otherwise, the Xianbei people would have already stormed into the royal palace in the center of the city.

To the north, his men seized the city gates, welcoming Anju's 10,000-strong army into the city.

So... how did Princess Sharde and her hundred Han cavalrymen get into Loulan City?

The hundred riders in front of him were clearly elite cavalry; his hundred companions were no match for them.

Abe ordered his accomplices to protect him closely, while he himself held a long sword to the officer's neck.

Since it was Shard who led the Han cavalry to attack, she certainly wouldn't abandon her father.

"Where...where did you enter the city from?"

Abe decided to stall for time. If he could delay for a while and wait for Abe's troops to arrive in large numbers, the initiative would be in his hands.

"Hehe, we came from the North Gate!"

Seeing Abe glancing towards the North Gate as he spoke, Liu Wei sneered, "Your accomplices left behind at the North Gate have already been killed by my men and are waiting for you on the road to the underworld!"

What!

Abe felt a chill run down his spine. He gritted his teeth and said, "So what if you killed my men? My army from Cheshi will arrive in an instant. Don't be so arrogant now. You'll all have to surrender in a moment!"

"Haha, the troops of Cheshi have been driven back by my troops, and half of them have fled in panic."

"You still dream of the Cheshi Kingdom's cavalry entering the city? I advise you to give up on that idea!"

"Release him immediately, and I'll grant you a whole corpse!"

Liu Wei burst into laughter.

This prime minister has so few men under his command, yet he dares to put up such a stubborn resistance!

This king?

When Abe heard Liu Wei repeatedly refer to himself as "this king" and saw that he was dressed as a Han Chinese general, he was startled.

He served as the prime minister of Loulan for more than ten years and had a certain understanding of the Central Plains court.

I've naturally heard about the major events that have recently occurred in the Han Dynasty.

Among the Han people, the one who can be called a king must be the prince of the current dynasty.

The only one who was sent out to be a king was the King of Clouds, who was in the Hetao region!

The young man in front of me, dressed in golden armor, was handsome and imposing, exuding an air of royalty in every gesture.

Could he be Liu Wei, the Prince of Yunzhong, the Han prince who defeated the Southern Xiongnu and the Tuoba Xianbei and recovered the three commanderies of the Hetao region?

He personally came to the Western Regions, arrived in Loulan, and even stood with Princess Sharde of Loulan.

what does that mean?

Upon realizing this, Abe's face turned deathly pale: "You...you are Liu Wei, the King of the Clouds?"

"How dare you! Who do you think you are? Are you tired of living? How dare you address our Prince by his given name?"

Shen Lian, who was standing next to Liu Wei with a sharp blade in his hand and glaring menacingly, roared.

As a secret agent, Shen Lian possessed a sinister and terrifying aura of killing intent. His roar sent chills down the spines of Abe's accomplices, causing them to tremble.

"The prince of the Great Han Dynasty, the King of Yunzhong!"

When the officer held hostage by Abe heard Abe reveal Liu Wei's identity and saw his daughter next to Liu Wei, he immediately understood what was going on.

The armored cavalry that charged in from outside the south gate must also be this prince's troops.

He said the Cheshi people have been defeated, so Loulan is saved!

The officer was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he couldn't speak, forgetting that a sword was still held to his neck.

"Daughter, I never imagined you could invite a prince from the Han Dynasty. You're truly remarkable!"

"Don't worry about me! Quickly, Your Highness, kill this traitor, drive out the Xianbei, and save the people of Loulan from being trampled!"

"You old bastard! Shut up!"

With a forceful thrust, Abe pressed the longsword into the officer's neck, causing a bead of blood to gush out. "Speak again and I'll kill you!"

"Let go of my father!"

Shard shouted, but dared not go forward.

They were afraid that if they made a move, Abe would choose to perish together with them.

"You're all looks and no brains, Princess Sharde! He's my talisman now. If you let him go, I won't live!"

Having grasped the situation, Abe ignored Shard's words and stared intently at Liu Wei.

Here, only the prince before him could decide his life or death.

Helpless, Sharde looked pleadingly at Liu Wei. Now, only Liu Wei could save her father!

Liu Wei witnessed all of this and felt a pang of regret, wondering why the prime minister hadn't simply killed Wei Liao.

If Wei Liao dies, it would be excellent to let Shard become the master of Loulan.

Things have gone slightly off course now, but it's nothing serious.

At this time, with his strength, Loulan could easily have made Sharde the king, and how could Wei Liao dare to disobey?

So Liu Wei looked at Shen Lian and gave him a wink, signaling him to act according to the situation.

"I promise you, as long as you release the King of Loulan, I guarantee your safety!" Liu Wei smiled mysteriously.

Abe was delighted, knowing that the Han people kept their promises and were true to their word.

"Then...what about us?"

However, his companions objected, shouting, "What do we do now?"
