Li Yi was startled when he saw Emperor Zhang's angry face, his face was pale, and he was panicked. Dou Gu comforted: "Li Yi doesn't need to panic, the emperor is angry with Ban Chao, it has nothing to do with you, you quickly confess the matter of Shi Xiu's surrender to the Huns, and tell the emperor." ”

Li Yi stabilized his mind and said, "Your Majesty, Shi Xiu and I are returning east along the road, and Shi Xiu has a lot on his mind. Suddenly, Shi Xiu came to me and said that Ban Chao is Geng Gong's sworn brother, and now Ban Chao occupies Shule, enjoys wealth and wealth, and deeply bears the emperor's grace, and will definitely affect Geng Gong, the emperor lives far away in Luoyang, as long as you and I don't speak, the emperor will not know. Weichen knew that Shi Xiu was Geng Gong's subordinates, of course he didn't follow. Shi Xiu took out a lot of gold and silver from his bosom and said that as long as I agree, these gold and silver will be mine. It turned out that at the time of parting, Ban Chao gave Shi Xiu a thick gold and asked him to bribe me along the way. Although Weichen is not talented, he knows the national righteousness, and immediately refused, and scolded Shi Xiu, Shi Xiu saw that it was not feasible, and retreated angrily, holding a grudge. ”

Emperor Zhang nodded his head and praised: "Li Aiqing understands righteousness, wealth and nobility cannot be lewd, quite the style of my Han countryman, compared to Su Wu, can be praised!" ”

Li Yi had a strange look, and he stopped talking, Dou Gu said: "Li Yi, go on, there is the emperor, whether it is Shi Xiu or Geng Gong, you don't have to be afraid, just say." ”

Li Yi lowered his head and looked at his toes: "After a few days, we arrived in Khotan, and King Juxian of Khotan avoided it, and we didn't care, and continued to go south, but we didn't know that we were stopped by Khotanese soldiers, during which there were dozens of Hun soldiers, showing off their might, recruiting us, and I scolded." But Shi Xiu was eye-to-eye, and the Khotanese soldiers and Hun soldiers retreated. In the middle of the night, I went to change clothes, but I saw that the lights in the stone repair tent were dim, as if someone was speaking, so I went to take a look, but saw several Huns sitting in the tent, looking at the costumes, those Huns, all have identities. On the second day, Shi Xiu disappeared, I found these two letters in his account, and knew that he had surrendered to the Xiongnu, and Weichen was alone, not daring to stay for a long time, and fled in a hurry. After Li Yi finished speaking, he was sweating profusely and fell to the ground.

After hearing this, Emperor Zhang took a look at Li Yi, who was suddenly frightened and pale. Emperor Zhang sighed: "All the countries in the Western Regions have rebelled against the Xiongnu, and the Shule country is the only stronghold, Ban Chao does not want to forge ahead, and enjoys wealth and wealth, so why send troops outside to make other countries laugh!" General Dou, you send a cavalry to Shule again, and quickly order Ban Chao to return to China! ”

Dou Gu got the order, took Li Yi, and returned to the mansion. But when he saw Liu Zhang coming out of Dou Mansion, his face was half happy and half worried, and he was a little surprised, and asked the servant: "What is Liu Zhang doing here?" ”

The servant said, "General, he went to find the young master." ”

Dou Gu didn't have the heart to ask more, he had to think about how to deal with Geng Gong.

What is Liu Zhang doing here? It turned out that he was driven away by Fan Qiang, losing face, and thought: "I am a dignified Han clan relative, and I am also a waiting master, but I didn't expect to be driven away by a horseman, this revenge will not be avenged, and I will not be a man!" In a fit of rage, he immediately went to Dou Mansion, found Dou Xian, and said: "Young General, I heard that the eldest princess has a royal garden, which contains famous flowers and trees, strange stones and jades, birds and beasts, which are very precious, I don't know if the young general has been there?" ”

Dou Xianzheng was annoyed by Yurong's affairs. After Geng Gong left, Yurong was not noisy or noisy, but her face was sad, and there were endless tears in her eyes, as long as Dou Xian was close, she would scream loudly. Dou Xian was at a loss, and even Dou Gu was a little irritable. How could he have the heart to pay attention to Liu Zhang's, and replied casually: "I haven't been there, and I don't want to go." ”

Liu Zhang refused to give up, and said in a low voice: "The young general doesn't know, this Imperial Garden is many times stronger than the Imperial Garden in the palace!" If the major general has such a garden, and takes a woman to walk in the garden, butterflies fly by, a group of warblers dance wildly, flowing water jingles, and the joy of life is nothing more than this! ”

Dou Xian's heart moved, and he suddenly thought, "Doesn't Yurong like the Imperial Garden?" If she lived in the Imperial Garden, she might be in a better mood. A smile appeared on his face: "General Liu, is this Yujing Garden really so good?" ”

"It's better to see than to hear, and the major general will know at a glance."

Dou Xian groaned: "Last time you went to see Queen Dou, for the sake of Yujingyuan?" ”

"Exactly."

"General Liu has worked hard for this Yujing Garden, are you willing to give it to me?"

Liu Zhang's heart ached, and said: "It's because of all my hard work, I don't want this garden to be in the hands of the eldest princess!" ”

"Good!" Dou Xian got up, summoned Dou Du, transferred hundreds of soldiers, and rushed to Yujing Garden. After a while, I saw a lush garden, with birds singing and fragrant flowers, coming with the wind, and it was really different. Dou Xian was overjoyed, waved his hand, and said, "Drive out all the people inside for me!" ”

These soldiers have gone through a hundred battles, and they are very different from Liu Zhang's soldiers, one by one, like tigers and wolves, hugging up, only to hear the wailing inside, crying constantly. After a while, the soldier led a group of people out, one of them, with luxurious makeup, was the eldest princess, Liu Zhang sneered: "Eldest princess, you also have today......"

The eldest princess scolded angrily: "Liu Zhang, you deceived the husband of the palace to die early, and repeatedly came to seize the Imperial Garden, hum, the sky has eyes, how can you let go of a person who does bad things?" You wait, one day, you will have retribution......"

Liu Zhang was not angry, and said, "Eldest princess, I want you to die!" It's not me who wants this garden today, it's General Dou's son, what can you do with him? ”

The eldest princess took a look, but saw a handsome man dressed in a green robe, with a sword in his hand, dignified and mighty, and couldn't help but be stunned. Dou Xian walked slowly, looked at the eldest princess, and was also stunned, thinking: "Although this eldest princess is a little older, she has a unique flavor, her chest is like a green mountain, and her waist is like a flying swallow, hehe." He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and finally stabilized his mind and said, "Are you the eldest princess?" I am Dou Xian, this garden, General Liu has already bought it, the queen has agreed, and now General Liu has given me the garden, you don't have to be angry, this young master will give you some gold and silver! ”

The eldest princess bit her lip: "This palace really deserves it!" The husband died early, with no power, no courage, and no backer, but he had a priceless garden, isn't this a three-year-old child taking gold to the street? This garden, this palace doesn't want it, this palace just wants to see what happens to the people who take this garden! After the eldest princess finished speaking, she said to her subordinates: "Let's go, in the future, this garden will no longer be surnamed Liu!" She pushed the soldier away and walked out alone, staggering with a hint of misery and loneliness......

When his subordinates saw it, they cried loudly: "Princess, this is a gift from the first emperor, how can you not want it?" Why don't you tell the emperor? ”

The eldest princess suddenly turned around and said word by word: "But it's outside the body, it's better to let it go as soon as possible!" The subordinates were very sad, bowed their heads and said nothing, followed the eldest princess, and went back to the house.
