In the Jiuquan Mansion, Li Maicheng and the others drank fine wine, enjoyed the beautiful dancing, and after they were full of wine and food, they all fell asleep one by one.

In that guest room, Li Maicheng hugged Bai Ruoxue, with the strength of wine, lingering and affectionate, kissing affectionately, and after some clouds and rain, he fell asleep.

After one night, early the next morning, Li Maicheng and the others got up to have breakfast, at that dinner table, Li Maicheng drank lotus seed soup, and said: "King Hun Evil, I want to ask you about something, has there been a major event in the Xiongnu recently?"

The Evil King scratched his head and said, "Well, General Hule in my palace just came back from the Xiongnu royal court, let me ask him." ”

At this time, General Hule ate the pancake and said, "What's the matter, what do you want to inquire about?" ”

Li Maicheng replied: "General Hule, I am in the jade trade, so I want to inquire if there is any news about the Han Dynasty in the Xiongnu recently." ”

General Hule thought for a moment and said: "Well, there is one thing, some time ago, a Han delegation to the Western Regions was arrested in the territory of our Xiongnu country, the leader was Zhang Qian, and there was a guide named Ganfu, and several soldiers of the mission, they were sent to the Xiongnu royal court. Zhang Qian They can be said to be very tenacious, the Hun court wants to recruit them, but Zhang Qian They do not give in, it can be said that they would rather die than give in, and in the end there is really no way, so they have to marry all of them, as if Zhang Qian, Ganfu, and those soldiers were arranged to marry Xiongnu wives, and they were also recruited. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, by the way, is there anything else about Dahan?"

General Hule said: "The rest is about the war between the Han and the Xiongnu. ”

Li Maicheng replied: "Okay, by the way, King Hun Evil, we are going to continue westward, I heard that the jade in the Western Regions is good, such as Hetian jade, we want to go to the Western Regions to get a batch of jade to sell." ”

The evil king said: "Okay, then you should be more careful when you go west, and then you will be Dunhuang to the west, where it can be said that there is a piece of yellow sand next door, and there is still a lack of water, you should be careful." ”

Li Maicheng replied, "Okay, thank you to the evil king. ”

The evil king replied, "I will help us get rid of the hedgehog essence, and there will be a reward of five hundred taels of silver, so you can bring it." ”

Li Maicheng replied: "We want two hundred taels." Ten more horses, as well as some dry food and water. ”

The Evil King replied, "Okay, I'll let you prepare." ”

After a while, the horses and dry rations were ready, and Li Maicheng and the others rode back to the Jiuye Inn, and then joined the Koi Monster, and they rode out of Jiuquan City, and then continued to the west.

They walked in the Gobi Desert, and along the way there were many cacti, some small lizards, and many camels.

Li Maicheng and the others rode horses, walked and drank water, and gradually came to an inn in the Gobi Desert.

And they stopped their horses and stayed in the inn.

Li Maicheng asked the inn's junior second, and he said, "Little second, how long is there to be left from Dunhuang City?"

The little two replied: "It's only ten miles away, and you will arrive in half an hour tomorrow morning." ”

Li Maicheng replied, "Okay, thank you." ”

Then Li Maicheng and the others ate some food, and then fell asleep.

In that guest room, Bai Ruoxue opened the window and looked at the stars outside the window, and Li Maicheng also came over to watch with wine.

He looked at it and said, "Ruoxue, Master, they are all married and have a family, and we are still continuing to travel west, are we doing the right thing?"

Bai Ruoxue replied: "Maicheng, Master, they got married and started a family in the Hun Royal Court, and they were also forced by current events, and now the only thing we are happy about is that Master and they are at least safe." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I hope that Master can live a peaceful life in the Xiongnu country and be free from disturbances." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Yes, it seems that it is up to ten of us to continue to travel westward and find the Yue Clan Kingdom in the Western Regions." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Take one step at a time, if you really can't do it." We went to the court of the Xiongnu to rescue the master and them. ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "This is a good way. ”

Li Maicheng sighed and said, "Hey, forget it, let's talk about it later, let's continue westward first, let's sleep." ”

Bai Ruoxue replied, "Okay, Maicheng." ”

Then they fell asleep.

After one night, the next morning, after breakfast, they rode horses and rushed to Dunhuang City, only to see a Gobi desert along the road, which was very desolate.

After entering Dunhuang City, they found an inn to live in, which was called Duncheng Inn. Li Maicheng drank wine in the room, looking at the endless stream of Huns outside the window.

Bai Ruoxue said: "Maicheng, this Dunhuang City is also controlled by the Huns, we have to be careful." ”

Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a look at the topographic map of the Western Regions." ”

Then Li Maicheng took a topographic map of the Western Regions and looked at it, and found that the west of Dunhuang is Lop Nur, the south is Qilian Mountain, and the north is the desert, and in the west there is Lop Nur and Loulan Kingdom.

Li Maicheng said in surprise: "Ruoxue, the west of Dunhuang is not far from Loulan, we can go there when the time comes." ”

Bai Ruoxue said happily: "That's great, I've just heard of Loulan, I didn't expect to go this time, it's really good." "Dream Island Library

Li Maicheng replied: "Yes, Loulan is a beauty from the Western Regions, and Loulan is a powerful country in the Western Regions, there are many treasures, we will go there when the time comes, and some will play." ”

Bai Ruoxue said, "Okay then. ”

They were chatting in the inn when there was a sudden loud bang in the sky, and then the people in Dunhuang City panicked.

Li Maicheng heard the noise and miserable shouts, and then quickly flew out of the inn, flew onto the roof, and saw that there were several fierce beasts in the city that were biting the people, and the leader was a goblin.

I only heard that the people in the city called the beast a lion, after all, Li Maicheng had never seen a lion before, but the lion was indeed very powerful, biting the people to death.

Li Maicheng was fighting with the lion spirit with the Zhuying Sword, and Wu Shitong was holding the Qiankun axe and slashing lions one by one.

Su Chengxuan and the Koi Monster came to help, pinching the lion spirit. Bai Ruoxue and Jin Xiqing also flew over to help, while Zhou Xiaotian and the giant ape monster went to save the bitten people, and the city was in chaos, and Li Maicheng and they slashed and killed those lions fiercely.

The lion spirit saw that Li Maicheng was too powerful, and immediately fled with those lion demons.

Then the Huns in Dunhuang City surrounded them, and the leading general said: "Ladies and gentlemen, here is General Dunyue, you drove away those lion spirits today, and I thank you on behalf of the people." ”

Li Maicheng replied: "General Dunyue, you are polite, in Xia Li Maicheng, we are merchants who went to the Western Regions to do jade trading, passing by here, we saw this strange demon beast raging in the city, so we drew our swords to help." ”

General Dunyue replied: "Thank you, this lion spirit has been wreaking havoc in Dunhuang for more than a year, and we officers and soldiers can't do anything about them. ”

Li Maicheng said: "General Dunyue, we will order the exercises to subdue demons and eliminate demons, so it is better to leave it to us." ”

General Dunyue said happily: "Okay then, thank you. ”

Li Maicheng said: "General Dunyue, why haven't I seen this lion before, and where did this beast come from?"

General Dunyue replied: "In a distant country west of Dunhuang, there is a country called Persia, and there are lions there, and then those Persian merchants sold those lions to us, and then those lions cultivated to perfection, and they became what they are now. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I see. ”

General Dunyue said: "Brother Maicheng, this lion spirit has not been eliminated at the moment, I invite you to come to our Dunhuang Mansion and meet our King of Shazhou." ”

Li Maicheng replied: "Okay, thank you, it's just that we have already found an inn to stay in the city, so it's better to let my brothers Zhou Xiaotian and Su Chengxuan go to Dunhuang Mansion with me." ”

General Dunyue replied, "Okay, Brother Maicheng. ”

Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian, and Su Chengxuan followed General Dunyue to Dunhuang Mansion. They walked through the bustling streets, walked through the pavilions, and gradually came to the Dunhuang Mansion.

I saw that there were two big lion statues at the gate of Dunhuang Mansion, and after Li Maicheng and them entered, General Dunyue led them to meet the king of Shazhou.

When he entered the house, he saw the king of sandbanks sitting under the throne drinking tea.

General Dunyue reported: "Tell the King of Shazhou, today another lion spirit came to invade my Dunhuang City, but fortunately, a few powerful demon slayers came to help, and only then did they repel those lion spirits." ”

The Sandbank King said, "Just the three of them?"

General Dunyue replied: "Yes, King Shazhou, but there are not only the three of them, there are several of them, these three are Li Maicheng, Zhou Xiaotian and Su Chengxuan. ”

The king of Shazhou said: "Okay, listen to their names, they are from the Han Dynasty?"

General Dunyue replied, "Probably, they claim to be jade merchants. ”

The Sandbank King replied, "All right. ”

At this time, Li Maicheng said: "King Shazhou, we are indeed from the Han Dynasty, and we are merchants who buy and sell jade. ”

The Sandbank King replied, "Well, what are your skills?"

Li Maicheng replied: "King of Shazhou, I will soar through the clouds and fog, fly the eaves and walk the walls, go to the sky and the earth, and know some fists and feet." ”

The king of the sandbank replied, "Well, then tomorrow, I will personally go out and take you to kill those lion spirits." ”

Li Maicheng replied, "Okay, then where is their lair?"

The king of Shazhou replied: "Maicheng, there is an oasis in the desert north of Dunhuang City, and there is their old nest, and when the time comes, we can destroy them as long as we attack them." ”

Li Maicheng replied, "That's good." ”

Then the king of Shazhou set up a banquet to entertain Li Maicheng and the three of them, they drank fine wine, ate a big meal, and enjoyed the beautiful dance of the beauties of the Western Regions.

While eating the food, the king of Shazhou said: "Brother Maicheng, you can marry a wife, and I will arrange for you to arrange the marriage." ”

Li Maicheng replied: "Thanks to the kindness of the king of Shazhou, I am already married, and they also have lovers. ”

The Sandbank King replied, "Well, then I'll worry too much." ”
