After knowing that Tang Wan was about to leave, Huomuti immediately expressed his reluctance. He hoped that Tang Wan would stay for a few more days, but Tang Wan had no choice but to let him leave.

After walking for about a day, the group stopped at the northernmost poplar oasis of Loulan. Yanshan was left in Loulan City by Li Xuansheng, and received the news back at any time. The other four subordinates followed Tang Wan's two subordinates to Dayuan after leaving Loulan. Because every winter pilgrimage day, Dayuan Kingdom would send a nobleman to the country, and this nobleman was the prince of Dayuan Kingdom followed by Jin Chan. Before meeting, Li Xuansheng must have chosen to inform him of his plan in advance.

I thought this poplar oasis would be a homeless place, but I didn’t expect that there was an official post in this oasis. However, the appearance of the official post was not a typical Western Regions architecture, but a mixed-race shape with the style of the Central Plains architectural style.

When Tang Wan saw Li Xuansheng showing a surprised expression, she whispered, "Are you surprised?"

Li Xuansheng nodded and responded, "There is indeed a little bit! Just based on this architectural style, I think it was built in the early Han Dynasty!"

"The shopkeeper said it was good! This is the official post that the Marquis of Dingyuan lived in the pre-Han period. It was said that this place was a grassland with abundant water and grass! It's a pity that the yellow sand is already green in front of you!"

Li Xuansheng looked at the abandoned official post for a long time and said in a deep voice, "It seems like we are going to spend the night here tonight!"

When everyone entered the official post, they found that there was a lot of firewood and dry food inside the official post. The dry food was all sealed, and they thought they were afraid of attracting insects. When others were puzzled, Tang Wan explained, "This is the rule for us Kucha people to walk in the desert. You Zhongyuan people also often say that it is convenient for others and for yourself!"

Li Xuansheng suddenly said, "No wonder this place is deserted and uninhabited, but it is cleaned up neatly, and even has herbs used to drive away mosquitoes! But is this herb smell a little heavier?"

After Xi Qian understood, he immediately searched everywhere and found an abnormality in a corner of the backyard of Guanyi. After everyone dug it open, they found five corpses, and all four of them were killed by a knife. What worried Tang Wan the most was that the so-called clothes of the five deceased were the sacred clothes of the Holy Mountain scholars, and one of them was wearing the blue sacred uniforms.

After looking through, Xi Qian said, "They carry all the gold and silver, I think it's not for robbing money!"

Tang Wan thought of something and said, "Every manager will carry the unique token of the Holy Mountain!"

Xi Qian searched carefully and replied, "Not found! President Tang, what's the use of this token?"

"With this token, you can go directly into the main hall of the Holy Church!"

Li Xuansheng joked, "You can enter the main hall if you have tokens? Are your Holy Sect's defenses too lax?"

Tang Wan said calmly, "Didn't the shopkeeper notice that this manager is a woman? Unless a special incident occurs, female believers entering the Holy Church's main hall must wear a veil! Those who violate the canon will be whipped for thirty days!"

Li Xuansheng looked around and said casually, "Someone dared to assassinate your Holy Church, and even left the token of in charge. Most of the time, I wouldn't do anything good. President Tang, you are also a Holy Church believer, so you won't ignore it, right?"

Tang Wan shook her head slightly and said, "If it were the past, I might have told them! But now the people who control the Holy Church are the culprits that led to the fall of Kucha! I wish they were in civil strife, so how could they tell them to be prepared in advance?"

I have to say that when Tang Wan said this, Li Xuansheng was a little touched. He always thought that Tang Wan was a silly Bailian who was unwilling to hurt others, but he didn't expect that she would have a cruel and decisive side in the face of hatred. At least in Li Xuansheng's opinion, the stupid princess in the past became smarter.

Li Xuansheng made a gesture and said, "Buried them again! Let's be careful tonight. I always feel that this murderer has not gone far?"

"Yes, the big shopkeeper!"

As night came, Li Xuansheng, who had not yet fallen asleep, heard a sound from outside the inn.

"What sound?"

Xi Qian replied, "It seems that someone is coming! I'll go and have a look!"

When he arrived outside the inn, Xi Qian saw the guard's subordinate blocking an old man with a huqin on his back to enter the inn. The old man had square face and long beards, thin clothes, and his hair was as fluffy as a bird's nest.

The old man leaned on a crutch in his left hand and asked weakly, "Two sirs! Look, there is no village or shop in front of me, let alone the one who is on the side late at night. Where are I, the old man?

The two adults are good, can you give me a place to stay?"

"Hey, you old man, I said no, but it's not possible! Wherever you like to go? Get out of here quickly!"

Xi Qian originally thought that the old man would retreat when he saw the trouble, but who would have thought that the old man raised his head and looked angrily, "This is a land of no one! When will it become your territory? If you can't explain a reason, I won't leave yet, old man!"

"Hey! You old guy, are you looking for a fight?"

When a subordinate came forward to teach this old man who was ignorant of the current affairs, Xi Qian hurriedly stopped him and said, "Stop!"

After hearing the voice, the two subordinates saluted respectfully, "Maintain the business!"

Xi Qian smiled and said, "We are all here to have fun, we were originally looking after each other. The inside is big, so what can I do to give him a place to settle down? Let him go in!"

"Yes, keep in charge!"

The old man looked at Xi Qian curiously, saw Xi Qian's guarded eyes, and smiled unconsciously, entered the inn and found a place to sleep with his clothes.

"Criminal, an uninvited guest has come? But I can't guarantee that this person is the murderer who killed those people!"

"What do you think of that person's martial arts?"

After estimating, Xi Qian said, "It should be above me, and she is also a master of swordsmanship!"

Li Xuansheng smiled strangely and said, "Oh! This is rare! You can still meet such a master in this wilderness! And it's not too early or too late, but we arrived after we arrived here!

If it wasn't done deliberately, how could it happen?"

Xi Qian asked subconsciously, "Then, prince, do you want to get rid of him?"

Li Xuansheng shook his head slightly and said, "No need for now. If he really did, he would not appear in front of us so openly!"

"Criminal, if he secretly assassinate one of us, the others would probably encounter an unexpected situation without the skills of the two of us!"

"I naturally know this! It's just that the enemy and friend have not yet been distinguished, so I decided to kill him. It's not a good thing after all! Besides, we'll set out tomorrow and may not be able to go along."

"Yes, my subordinates understand! Then I will be personally guarded tonight!"

After Xi Qian left, he kept staring at the sleeping old man to prevent him from doing anything. But the result was that this guy snored like a thunderous man, sleeping like a dead pig, and farts from time to time. Not to mention getting up to stab, even if he lifted someone in front of him, Xi Qian didn't wake up. In this way, he listened to the old man's snoring until the sun rose the next day before leaving.
