Chapter Forty-Eight: The Protectorate

The overgrown Gobi, even when it comes to Guiyue, is still a scorching sun, at this moment the escort team of Dali Temple is close to the rock wall to follow the direction, looking for the whereabouts of the rumored Anxi Dadu Protectorate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I don't know how many soldiers have been bred in the lifeless land, and when they rested to escape the scorching sun for the third time, there were several corpses of despair that turned into dry bones on the barren land.

The mysterious Great Xia Realm has finally unleashed an unknown and terrifying veil for this group of hunters who are resident in Chang'an City......

"Master Di, this is the outfit of the generals of the Duhu Mansion five years ago, presumably there is no deviation in the direction we are going. ”

Li Yuanfang took half a bag of water bladder and handed it to Di Huaiying, who was also a little dehydrated, and stood on a sand dune beside him, looking at the endless Gobi Desert distorted by the heat and sighed.

"It seems that the conditions under which they landed on this land were much more difficult than ours, and I don't know if there are still 20,000 soldiers stationed there. ”

"Where's the peerless girl, isn't she yelling more excited than anyone else?"

"She, she has now taken refuge in Piruth's carriage to escape the heat, and why don't you go in and rest for a while? ”

"What's the point of a leader standing in the ranks if he can't share the weal and woe with his subordinates in a hostile environment. ”

As she spoke, Di Huaiying moistened her thin chapped lips with a water bladder, and then looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, but through the distorted air, she found a little shadow of a building in the distance, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and then the whole person trembled with excitement.

"What I'm seeing this time can't be a hallucination......

"Master Di rest assured, the same hallucination will not appear in the eyes of the two people. ”

This conversation was heard by the fast-catchers who were resting on the side, and immediately came to their side under the scorching sun, and when they vaguely saw the target location, they were so excited that they threw the water bladder and cheered together.

And the rhythm of the next road has obviously accelerated a lot, and everyone has changed from taciturn at the beginning to talking and laughing, until they rushed to the city wall before sunset, and then they saw the unique city tower with the charm of the Tang Dynasty.

But I don't know why, at this time, there was no one stationed on the castle tower......

"Dare to ask if there are any soldiers guarding the city? We are the escort team of Chang'an Dali Temple, and we are here to find Pei Xingjian, the protector of the Anxi Metropolitan Mansion, to take over the Persian Governor's Mansion!"

Di Huaiying shouted under the city, but he didn't see a single figure, and immediately shouted again, but he didn't know that a drunken soldier in messy clothes stood up at the head of the city, holding a rusty gun and looking down at the city.

"Just now, a few of you bastards couldn't finish yelling, so that grandpa couldn't have a good rest?"

This little soldier defending the city is really angry, he must have drunk too much and hasn't woken up yet, Di Huaiying frowned and hugged his fist towards the city again.

"I'm sorry for this brother to inform the generals guarding the city gate, we are the team that came to Chang'an City to escort the Tang envoys, and today I am here to escort the Persian princess Pi Ruth to be the governor of Persia!"

"The official from Chang'an?"

The soldiers in the city lay on their stomachs at the head of the city and looked carefully, and suddenly they were shocked, and then turned their heads and ran towards the city.

After a while, Di Huaiying and the others heard the creaking moans of the city gate, and a middle-aged man in gilded armor walked towards Di Huaiying and the others with fists.

"I really didn't expect that after five years, I would have the opportunity to meet my colleagues from Chang'an, but I don't know who of you is the main envoy who came this time?"

Approaching, Di Huaiying could obviously feel the strong smell of wine exuding from the middle-aged man in front of him, and saw that the originally mighty gilded armor on his body had lost its brilliance, and even the horizontal knife on his waist was tied at will, without the slightest sense of tension in preparing for battle.

This Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate is obviously a little different from the appearance in his impression......

"Presumably, Your Excellency is Lord Pei, the capital of this place, and the chief envoy of the escort team of Dali Temple this time is served by Di Huaiying in Xiaxia. ”

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian looked down at the simple young man who was half a head shorter than him, and a touch of contempt flashed inadvertently in the corner of his eyes, and then he probably felt that his status was higher, so he raised his belt to change his enthusiastic appearance.

"Di Huaiying, why didn't you hear of this person when the official was in Chang'an City five years ago?"

"Hehe, when Lord Pei led 20,000 soldiers and horses to the Great Xia Realm to establish the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, he naturally didn't know the juniors, after all, Huaiying was just a student of Prime Minister Yan at that time. ”

"Yan Liben?"

When Pei Xingjian heard the name of the prime minister of the dynasty, his two eyeballs turned in his eye sockets, and he changed his contemptuous appearance, and finally made a warm appearance towards Di Huaiying.

"I really didn't expect Prime Minister Yan Cheng to be willing to send his beloved apprentice to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to practice, this welcome really gave Pei someone a lot of face!"

"Come on, come on, he... Brother Di hurriedly led his subordinates in to rest, he must have been tired of the long journey in this dog-day weather, and when he is in the Duhu Mansion tomorrow evening, Brother Pei will personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!"

laughed and made way for the Dali Temple and his party, and then Di Huaiying and Li Yuanfang took the lead in entering the city, but the two of them froze in place and couldn't walk.

Without the slightest military discipline, the dirty mud and stone houses were lined up on both sides of the road, and a group of half-undressed men came and went, throwing their weapons aside while laughing and playing, and even the battle flags of the Tang Dynasty were rolled up in the corners and fell to dust.

It is more appropriate to use a very simple description, that is, at the moment of entering the city, Di Huaiying and the others seemed to see not a city where the army was stationed, but more like a bandit den, scattered with a group of originally enthusiastic strong men.

"Brother Di, don't be surprised, it's Pei's daughter's birthday in recent days, so these brothers are making trouble, after all, you see that you are under great pressure on weekdays, you should always vent, right!"

Pei Xingjian hurriedly took two steps to retreat a group of unruly generals, and then turned to Di Huaiying's side and laughed dryly.

"Lord Di suppressed his anger, after all, we have to use the power of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to resist the invasion of the Persian Empire on this trip, and it is not time to turn against this Lord Pei. ”

Li Yuanfang saw that Di Huaiying was trembling with anger, and immediately helped the latter and saluted Pei Xingjian.

"Master Pei, don't blame, Lord Di's health is not very good, it is hot in the afternoon and cold in the evening, so please hurry up and lead the rest place." ”

"Ahh Ah, this little brother is right, look at Pei's hospitable temperament delaying your rest. ”

"At this moment, please also ask all the people of Dali Temple to unload their horses and go together, and it is not too late to discuss until tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Li Yuanfang turned around and walked to the carriage, and knocked lightly on the wooden frame twice, as if to wake up the resting people, but after a lotus boot stepped out of the carriage, everyone's breathing became inexplicably short.

Like a white snow lotus blooming on the Gobi, accompanied by the cold wind blowing in the yellow sand, the plain hand of the green silk in the ear has touched the hungry hearts of many men.

"It's... This girl is ......"

Pei Xingjian inexplicably felt that his words trembled a little, and when he saw the latter raise his eyes to look at him, he only felt that a heart that had already been sealed was as if it had been hit by a hammer, and it beat violently for the first time.

"This is one of the eight gods of Dali Temple, and his surname is Wushuang ......"
