Chapter Thirty-Nine: Princess Wuyue
After walking in the desert for dozens of days and still not seeing people, I struggled very inwardly, and finally I couldn't stop the long time of excessive walking and the lack of water and dry climate in the desert, and I collapsed. I have eaten more than 20 peaches, and there are only five left, and I can't get out of this boundless desert with five peaches. This desert is sparsely populated, no, it can be said that there is none, how can I long for someone to save me? Could it be ...... Am I really going to die like this?
I licked my dry lips, and I had no strength but to wait for death to come, and maybe, in a few days, I would be a dried corpse in the desert. At this moment, I suddenly heard a camel bell in my ears, which was particularly pleasant in the vast desert, and the camel bell was approaching. Perhaps, I was saved. I couldn't hold back the exhaustion anymore and fainted.
It would be two days before I woke up again. "Are you awake?" As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard a greeting.
"yes. Where am I? Who saved me? I said, looking for the source of the voice, a girl dressed in purple, with many bright feathers and some strange patterns.
"This is Wuyue, it's our princess who saved you. You're really lucky, you just happened to meet our princess, and if you had touched a sand wolf or something, you would have been eaten a long time ago. She said.
"Wuyue, can you please be more detailed, I really haven't heard of this country." I asked.
"It's normal if you haven't heard of it, look at your clothes are from the Central Plains, we are located in the Western Regions here, and we rarely interact with the Central Plains. By the way, how did you get here? She asked.
I was speechless for a while, and after a pause, I said that I was a businessman, and I was robbed by a group of bandits, and the group died, and I was the only one who escaped.
"You're a liar!" The girl said, her eyes shining brightly.
"I didn't ......" I was at a loss for a moment.
"And what is this......" she said, holding up the sewing in her hand, and I saw that it was clearly my gentian shining silver armor. Since that armor was pierced by Xiang Yu for the first time, it has been fighting with me for many years, and after I fell off the cliff, it has resisted a lot of gravity for me, and it has long been in tatters. Through the girl's hand, it turned out to be intact and shining with silver light.
"I ...... I...... It's still visible to you. I said.
"Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything malicious. You're supposed to be a general, right? She asked with a smile.
"Hmm." I replied.
"What's your name, girl?" I asked after a pause.
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone their name?" She smiled.
"I, my name is Guan Hanquan." I said.
"Since you don't want to say anything else, I won't force you. I was an orphan, adopted by the king since I was a child, and was the princess's maid, and the princess was very kind to me, although I was said to be her maid, but we were like sisters. I don't have a surname, everyone calls me Satsuki. Our country is very small, far inferior to your Central Plains, with a population of only 30,000 people, most of whom are Qiang, but there are also a few Han people and other ethnic groups. For example, our king is a Han Chinese. She said.
"What, your king is Han?" I said in surprise.
"Well, the original old king only had one daughter, and that was the current queen, and the queen fell in love with a merchant, and that is our current king." She said.
I have always thought that it was impossible for ancient peoples to intermarry before, and I was surprised by her words, and what surprised me even more was that a Han man could be the king of many Qiang people, so this king must have something extraordinary.
"So...... You must be a very good king. I said.
"Of course, although the king used to be a merchant, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and after he became king, we have had a good life every year. But ......" she paused.
"But what?" I asked hurriedly.
"Oh, why are you an outsider doing so much? Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you. However, in recent years, the king's health has not been very good, and it has deteriorated year by year. So I wanted to find a good son-in-law for my daughter, that is, the new king. She said.
"Xiaoyue, what are you talking about, girl?" A crisp voice came to my ears. I turned my head, and it was a woman carved in pink and jade, with a beautiful face, brilliant and beautiful, like a pearl, like a beautiful jade, bright and beautiful.
"Oh, Her Royal Highness is here, I won't tell you so much." Xiao Yue whispered to me, give me the mended gentian bright silver armor.
"Are you awake?" The princess asked, her voice very delicate and clear, gentle and gentle.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your concern, I'm fine." I was about to get out of bed, only to find that although I had not suffered much external injuries from falling off the cliff that day, the internal injuries were extremely severe. At that time, he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood.
"You man, tell you not to move, you don't listen, go back to bed and rest." The princess said, and helped me to the bed. Being so close to her, I saw that her skin was like congealed cream, glowing, white as jade, and as white as snow. There is a faint fragrance on the whole body, like an empty valley orchid.
"Haven't asked the princess for her name?" I said.
"My name is Luo Yueru." She said with a smile and walked out the door.
The moon is like a ...... What a beautiful name......
