The chief dared to make the decision on his own and marry Qin Yaoguang to another man, which undoubtedly touched Yan Changqing's reverse scale.

However, this matter is a matter of fortune and disaster, and it is difficult to calculate.

It was Burigude who rescued Qin Yaoguang and Yan Yuanan who were in a coma from the desert, and Saihan helped them escape.

They have paid the price for the wrong decisions made by the chief.

For Saihan's sake, he no longer bothered with the chief.

"General, I know I was wrong."

The chief now regretted his decision and confessed: "I...if I had known the noble's identity earlier, I would have tried my best to protect her."

After listening to the translation, Yan Shiyan smiled coldly: "You can't."

The chief was speechless: "No, no, no, I will definitely..."

"You will just feel that rare goods are valuable."

Yan Shiyan interrupted him, his eyes colder than a knife, dissecting his heart: "You only see the benefits in front of you."

The mother must have noticed this, so when the situation was unclear, she chose to hide her identity from him instead of asking for help directly.

What he said was exactly what Yan Changqing was thinking.

Yan Changqing stood up: "You should thank yourself for raising a pair of good children."

Otherwise, if Qin Yaoguang really died, he couldn't guarantee that he would not order the oasis to be razed to the ground.

Once again the troops returned empty handed, and the morale of the troops was low.

The only good news is that Qin Yaoguang has escaped safely.

But on that chaotic night, with the Tubo people and Bater two forces eyeing her covetously, did she really escape?

Where should I find her?

This time, even the target was lost.

Arriving at the resting place, Yan Changqing gathered everyone together and said, "I know what everyone is thinking. We are thirsty, tired, and have not yet made any achievements in the battle."

The army is not afraid of hard work, and sometimes even of death.

The most feared thing is to work in vain.

The desert environment was a hardship that the soldiers under Yan Changqing had never experienced before.

Along the way, it was common for people to fall ill due to unfamiliar climate and water, or to get sunburned or suffer from heatstroke due to long journeys.

But nothing was gained.

He raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it straight at the scorching sun in the sky.

"Have you forgotten our mission?!"

"The princess is on a diplomatic mission for the people of the Hexi Corridor and for Dajing!"

"She didn't have to come. She could have stayed in the Princess's Mansion in the capital, wearing the most gorgeous silks and enjoying the most exquisite food."

"If you feel it's hard, think about the eldest princess!"

These words successfully touched everyone's heart.

Yes, the most honorable princess of Dajing could endure such hardship and even managed to escape when being coveted and under house arrest.

"She never gave up, she never gave up, she always looked for opportunities."

"What about us?!"

Yan Changqing put down his sword and slashed it over the heads of the soldiers below: "What should we do?"

"Find the eldest princess and rescue her!"

Someone took the lead in shouting.

"Correct!"

Yan Changqing shouted: "Save the princess!"

"Save the princess!"

Thousands of soldiers shouted this sentence loudly, their blood was completely ignited, and the fatigue in their hearts was swept away.

"Rescue the eldest princess" became their common belief.

Keep your promises until death.

Zhao Yuchuan looked up at Yan Changqing. Under the scorching sun, his figure was as majestic as a god from heaven, making people dare not look directly at him.

Yan Shiyan's eyes were full of admiration.

My father could boost the morale of the troops with just a few words.

It turns out that language can be so powerful.

Two days later, we walked out of the desert and came to a small town in the Gobi Desert to rest temporarily.

"General, Suojibu requests an audience!"

"Please come quickly!"

On that day, not only Qin Yaoguang encountered a sandstorm, but Suojibu was also attacked by the Tubo army and was forced to retreat to the sandbar.

There was a power struggle within Tubo. Whoever could take back the sandbar would be in power and even become the next king.

Of course, they didn't want to let Suojibu and Dajing get together, so they pressed on step by step.

It was not until Yan Shiyan arrived at Yumen Pass and began to consciously expand outward and gradually gather scattered tribes that Suojibu got a chance to catch its breath.

Yan Changqing led his army to arrive, and Tubo had to allocate troops. This gave Suojibu an opportunity to break out of Tubo's encirclement in one fell swoop.

He led his troops and did not dare to enter the border of Dajing without permission before being canonized by Dajing.

Just when he was thinking about whether to go to Yumen Pass alone, he learned about Yan Changqing's marching direction and hurriedly brought his men there, fearing that he would miss it.

"General Suo has come from afar, please forgive me for not being able to greet you in person."

Yan Changqing strode up to him and, according to local etiquette, placed his right hand on his chest to greet him.

This hero, who single-handedly recovered the sandbar while surrounded by wolves, deserves his respect.

"General Yan."

Suojibu crossed his hands in front of his chest and bowed deeply in greeting.

His image is very different from the rumors. He is a man in his thirties with high eyebrows and deep eyes. His temperament is not rough, but rather there is a sense of elegance in his every move.

The Suo family is a Shazhou family and has been deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture.

Therefore, Suojibu was determined to recapture the sandbar, return to Dajing, and restore the prosperity of the Hexi Corridor.

"I have long heard of General Yan's great name. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

Apart from his appearance, even the way Suojibu spoke and talked was very similar to those of the people from the aristocratic families in the Central Plains.

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

Yan Changqing modestly led him inside and said, "I hope the general will forgive me for not being able to entertain you well during the march."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then got straight to the point.

Yan Changqing didn't expect that Suo Jibu brought him explosive news.

"General Yan, I know you are looking for the princess. This matter is caused by me. Please accept my most sincere apology first."

As he said this, he stood up and bowed deeply again.

Yan Changqing hurriedly helped him up with both hands. Just as he was about to say something, Suojibu continued, "My spies told me that the Lord of Juyan City, Pabala, is going to hold a grand wedding to marry Princess Dajing. He is sending out invitations to all nobles to come to the city to watch the ceremony."

"what?"

Yan Changqing was surprised and happy.

Today, Juyan City belongs to the Tubo sphere of influence.

Unlike the area near Yumen Pass where they were, it had been controlled by Tubo for more than ten years and was very powerful.

Pabala was a capable general under the regent. Although he was brutal, he was capable of governing the interior affairs and going on military campaigns, and he managed the Juyan City like an iron wall.

If it weren't for the spies in Suojibu, it would be extremely difficult for outsiders to get this valuable information.

The information brought by Suo Jibu was more detailed than that collected by the commander of Yumen Pass and Yan Shiyan.

"General Yan, there is a power struggle within Tubo right now. The regent has lost the sandbar and is at a disadvantage. Pabala must be trying to use this method to help him regain his influence in the court."

In this case, the Tibetans who attacked the oasis tribe at night should have been sent by Pabala.

In the political game, Qin Yaoguang is not just a beautiful woman, the most important thing is her identity as Princess Dajing.
