Wu Ya heaved a sigh of relief, a look of joy on her face. "Really? That's great! As long as I can prove my identity, I'm willing to do anything!"
Xie Yunqi ignored her and just waved to the soldiers: "Take him away and keep him under good guard."
The soldiers took Wu Ya away.
When Wu Ya left, she couldn't help but look back at Xie Yunqi several times, her eyes full of infatuation and expectation.
"Brother, this Princess Wuya..."
Chen Chi was a little amused.
"Send someone to the northern grasslands to investigate and see if there really is such a person as Helian Shuo, and what his background is."
"Yes, brother." Chen Chi bowed and accepted the order.
Chen Chi acted quickly, and in less than half a day, he had a thorough understanding of the current situation in the Western Regions.

Chen Chi walked quickly into the tent and handed a file to Xie Yunqi.
"Princess Wuya is right. There is indeed such a person as Helian Shuo. He is the eldest grandson of the old King of the Western Regions. Logically, he should have been the designated heir to the Western Regions."
Xie Yunqi picked up the file and lightly ran his fingertips across the pages, motioning him to continue.

"Besides, Helian Shuo was also destined for death, but for some reason, he suddenly went mad and stupid. He would spend the whole day holding a sheep bone and grinning foolishly. He even needed to be fed. Amur saw that he had become a useless man, and was afraid that killing a fool would give people a reason to criticize him, so he spared his life and threw him to the northern grasslands to fend for himself."
As he spoke, Chen Chi unfolded the sheepskin map and pointed to a certain place on it.
"Helian Shuo has now gathered his former subordinates, numbering approximately 2,000 men. However, their equipment is poor and their strength is far inferior to that of Amur's personal guards."
Xie Yunqi tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers. "So, he's in need of an ally right now?"
