Wandering Loulan (3)
The pursuit of the Hun soldiers was just a misunderstanding, and now that the crisis has been resolved, plus there are Huns as bodyguards to watch over them twenty-four hours a day, so Calm and the boy don't need to worry about their own safety at all.
There was no question of safety, so calmly wandered around the street with the boy.
Unlike the Great Song Dynasty, which gradually reduced trade with foreign tribes, the night market here is still prosperous, the streets are full of traffic, everyone is shopping, only calm is walking through here in a hurry.
When she passes by, she thinks of the Lantern Festival with her parents and brother in her hometown, so she wants to leave here quickly and not reminisce about the past.
Leaving the night market, they went to the king's palace.
The palace is lit up every night, and almost the entire capital of Loulan is lit up.
There are three stone pillars outside the palace, and this stone pillar is wrapped with green vines, and now a red ribbon is added to it, which proves that the palace has an important country to discuss today, and no one can approach it.
But there was no one outside the palace to stop them from approaching, so they sat down on the stone platform in front of the palace to take a nap, but after all, it was outside the palace of Loulan, so they had to avoid suspicion as much as possible, so she sat behind the stone pillar in a relatively dark place, and no one would find them here.
At this moment, a man came out of the hall, he was the man he had met at the old grandmother's house yesterday, he was injured on his hand and had been dripping blood, but he still endured it and came out, at this time a woman chased out, "Emperor, stop!" ”
She was gorgeously dressed, and she could tell at a glance that she was the mistress here, but she spoke submissively, and she looked more like a subordinate in front of the man, and even if she was reprimanding him now, she was still weak and incompetent.
Calm heard something he shouldn't have heard, so he thought about leaving here immediately with the boy, but at this time the man actually took out a dagger, and if Calm showed up at this time, he would definitely be injured by him, so he had to continue to hide.
And the man did not hurt the woman with a dagger, but added a new wound to his own injury, "Mother, this matter is no longer negotiable, since I have already quarreled with my father to this point, there is no room for reversal." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left without any waiting.
At this time, he found the calm and the boy hiding on the side, and he stepped forward and dragged her out of the shadows, "Why are you here?" ”
It was only at first glance that he found out that it was her, but he didn't recognize him as calm and subconsciously shook off his hand.
"Central Plains?"
The mother concubine in the man's mouth, that is, the current queen of Loulan, immediately regained her previous majestic appearance in the court, "Say!" Who are you sending a spy! ”
Although Loulan and Da Song have recently reached an agreement on reconciliation, she still can't get rid of her natural hostility towards the Han people.
At this time, the man turned his back to her and said, "Since you are dignified to humanity on the outside, why should you be so humble to your father on the inside?" ”
After saying this, he left calmly, and the soldiers who came out to support did not dare to stop him because of his identity.
At last the man took Calm and left the palace, and the boy hastened to follow, still holding the sachet and amulet he had just bought for her at the night market.
The man took her towards the grandmother's house last night, and did not let go of her until he got there, and her hand was red from being dragged by the man, and the boy took out the ointment to remove the red mark for her, and at the same time glanced at the man with slanted eyes.
He looked at the man calmly and said, "I have already thanked you for yesterday's incident, and as for what I saw in front of the palace tonight, I will not tell you anything." ”
After saying that, he took the boy's hand and wanted to leave here.
But he was stopped by the man again, "Today's matter is not as simple as eavesdropping on other people's secrets, it is related to the entire Loulan, so you can't leave until you investigate your details." ”
The boy reached out to knock the man's hand off, but he failed to do so, and he reflexively suppressed him.
Calmly stretched out his hand between them to prevent the man from hurting the boy by too much force, he looked at the man and said, "I promise you, you will investigate." Now he can go. ”
Since he had calmly agreed, the man had no reason to continue to embarrass him, so he let go of the hand that restrained the boy.
The man led them into the house, and by this time the old woman had already fallen asleep, and when she heard the barking of wild dogs outside the house, she got up to greet them.
The old man was unable to move, so he calmly hurriedly stepped forward to help her, "Grandma, we can take care of ourselves here, the night is dark, you better rest." ”
Sending the old grandmother back to the house, the man sent the boy and calm to the home remedies, and he himself went to the firewood room to spend the night, but before leaving, he was stopped by calm "It's not to investigate, let's do it tonight, we have to hurry after the investigation." ”
In fact, Calm didn't think about where he could go now, the Central Plains would definitely not be able to go back, but he was wandering in a foreign land and didn't know how to survive, but Calm knew that the man in front of him couldn't get along with him, so even if he didn't know where to go, he also thought about leaving immediately, just felt a little sorry for the boy.
But the man didn't pay attention to it, but said jokingly, "Does the girl want to do something with me on a cool autumn night?" ”
After saying that, he also winked towards calmness.
Calmly saw that this unfamiliar man was so rude to himself.
I couldn't help but be furious, stomped on him hard, and then slammed the door shut.
And the man still stood there 'shamelessly' and watched the lights in the room turn off before leaving.
