"A woman of the Loulan Queen?"

Upon hearing Gao Zheng’s words, Chen Mo was stunned for a full half minute before saying, "Bring her in."

"Yes." Gao Zheng walked out with a delighted expression, and soon entered with a few people. The Song Army behind him carried a bulging sack, placed it down, and then exited the tent. Gao Zheng untied it with a flattering smile:

"Sir, this is a rare treasure."

The sack contained a woman, very beautiful.

The woman wore a white dress, stained with dirt and blood, her hair messy, colored neither pure black nor blonde but with a golden sheen amidst the black.

Most importantly, she was a Caucasian.

That’s right, she had white skin.

Although the women around Chen Mo were fair-skinned, they were fundamentally of yellow skin.

She seemed to be an ordinary person, shivering as the cold wind blew into the tent from outside.

"Sir, I found her among the dead bodies. At the time, she was hiding inside, using corpses as cover to escape detection," Gao Zheng explained.

Chen Mo nodded, looked at the woman, and asked, "What’s your name?"

"Moon... Moon Slave." The woman in the white dress appeared somewhat flustered, knowing well how tempting her beauty was to men, so when she was found by the Song Army, she immediately revealed her identity, fearing they would violate her.

"Moon Slave? Is that your real name?" Chen Mo thought it didn’t sound like a person’s name.

"My name is Ahantu Mu Yuenaqiqi Nu."

"Let’s just call you Moon Slave then."

Moon Slave nodded, displaying a pitiful demeanor, even gently licking her lips with a hint of allure, just in front of Chen Mo, a subtle tease without appearing overtly provocative, demonstrating her skill.

In her view, falling into the hands of the Song Army meant she would unlikely return, and the outcome would be no different...

Being defiled either way, she figured it might be better to give herself to a high-ranking officer of the Song Army rather than be ravaged by lowly soldiers, possibly having to submit to many in the future.

At least Chen Mo didn’t seem to evoke much resistance in her.

As Gao Zheng subtly exited while Chen Mo interrogated Moon Slave, he personally stood guard outside the tent, preventing anyone from approaching.

"You said you’re a woman of the Loulan Queen, what do you mean?" Chen Mo, unfazed by Moon Slave’s charms, asked the crucial question.

"The Queen only likes women, not men. That’s why she wanted to capture your princess alive, intending for Zhao Qianyi to become her woman," Moon Slave explained with full cooperation.

"A lesbian?" Chen Mo’s eyes widened.

"Sir, what are you saying?" Moon Slave looked puzzled.

"Why did you suddenly withdraw from Sa City?"

"Jin Shou was a spy sent by the Jin Family into the army, and the Jin Family has always opposed the Queen’s rule. Seeing an opportunity, they incited General Wumu Lin to betray the Queen, leading the troops to depart Sa City overnight..."

"And you?"

...

...

On the other side.

After repeatedly asking Yue Yuxi about Wei Ying’s whereabouts, Zhao Qianyi, who received only the answer that Wei Ying was dead, showed a hint of sorrow on her face.

Wei Ying had been with her for over a decade, and through those years, their bond had long surpassed that of ordinary friendship. Zhao Qianyi had already regarded Wei Ying as family in her heart, and now the loss felt like the departure of a loved one, filling her with grief.

She wanted to find someone to share her sorrow with and headed towards Chen Mo’s tent.

Now, Zhao Qianyi already regarded him as her man, seeking solace from Chen Mo. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Ahead were the lights of the Central Army, and Zhao Qianyi directly arrived at the commander’s tent.

Gao Zheng hurried forward to greet her: "Princess, you’ve arrived."

His voice was particularly loud, slightly jarring to Zhao Qianyi’s ears.

Zhao Qianyi nodded and took large strides towards the commander’s tent. Gao Zheng quickly blocked her, saying, "Princess, Sir said no one enters without his order."

Here, Gao Zheng acted on his own accord.

But he was aware of the relationship between the Princess and Sir.

If the Princess were to see Sir with another woman, it would certainly cause trouble.

Though his intentions were good, Gao Zheng’s actions raised suspicion in Zhao Qianyi, who, ignoring his obstruction, entered the commander’s tent, just in time to see a white-dressed woman undressing.

Zhao Qianyi’s eyes widened: "Chen Mo, you..."

When Chen Mo saw Zhao Qianyi enter, he hadn’t initially thought much of it, but then noticed Moon Slave’s bare shoulders and his expression changed: "Princess, let me explain."

At the same time, Moon Slave also turned pale, thinking to herself that she was doomed.

It turned out she was undressing because she saw Chen Mo unmoved by her appeals, and with Chen Mo almost done with his questions, in her anxiety, Moon Slave resorted to her ultimate weapon.

She couldn’t believe that even if she took off her clothes, Chen Mo could resist, but she hadn’t expected such a situation to arise.

She exclaimed and quickly dressed herself.

Outside the tent, hearing the commotion inside, Gao Zheng’s expression also changed, but he had no solution. Zhao Qianyi’s identity, status, and even strength surpassed his; he simply couldn’t stop her and could only silently pray for Chen Mo.

...

Fortunately, Zhao Qianyi was sensible. After hearing Chen Mo’s explanation, she no longer dwelled on the matter and instead talked to Chen Mo about Wei Ying.

Chen Mo also told Moon Slave to step down first.

But upon hearing this, Moon Slave quickly said, "Princess, the Wei Ying you mentioned is not dead."

"What?" Zhao Qianyi exclaimed, then looked at Chen Mo, asking who she was.

"She is Moon Slave, a woman of the Loulan Queen..."

"A woman?!" Zhao Qianyi’s eyes widened.

Moon Slave nodded shyly.

For a moment, Zhao Qianyi seemed to understand why Yue Yuxi was so persistent in capturing her alive.

Her scalp tingled slightly. Although she had previously rejected men, she was equally uninterested in women.

Chen Mo returned to the main issue: "Moon Slave, since you said Wei Ying is not dead, where is she?"

"The Queen needs Wei Ying to lure out the Princess and later requires Wei Ying to make the Princess compromise, so it’s impossible for her to kill Wei Ying. As to where she is, I... I don’t know, only that the Queen controlled her with Charm Skill and seems to have incorporated her into the Personal Guard," Moon Slave said slowly.

"The Loulan Queen’s Personal Guard?" Chen Mo glanced at Zhao Qianyi and then recalled whether he had killed a female soldier when capturing Yue Yuxi.

After all, he didn’t know Wei Ying, and when capturing Yue Yuxi, he had killed quite a few Loulan soldiers who had come to stop him, in case any of them were Wei Ying, that would be unfortunate.

But he had killed so many that he couldn’t recall if there had been any female soldiers among them.

Chen Mo called for Gao Zheng, instructing him to go check if there were any female soldiers among the dead barbarians of the Desolate Kingdom.
