"Qin Chong, is this the end of our Cézanne Persia?"

Even though I had received the news of the failure of the Canaanite rebel army's westward expedition to Antioch from Shamihan at the beginning of the year, I still asked reluctantly when I marched forward with Qin Chong. $Pineswastika small$ said

"It's all over! On the third day after you left Beloea, young lord, we launched a general attack on the city-state of Antioch according to the original plan. Liu Zhen'er and Hami and I led 30,000 cavalry to intercept the Roman Egyptian legions that were reinforcing from the north on the left flank, and the 70,000 infantry of Bourne and Cézanne's Ronier attacked the city with all their might. Originally, it was planned to take this city in one day, but after three days of fierce fighting, more than half of the troops did not enter Antioch, but the bad news came that Belroea was captured by the Roman army of the northern route! Hey, our army was defeated by the enemy on all fronts! Liu Zhen'er, Sa Bing, and Neil and I fought our way out and fled into the desert of the Syrian province. After much difficulty, at the beginning of this year, he crossed the Tigris River from the direction of Babylon and entered the territory of Sassanid Persia. Then he walked all the way east along the sparsely populated mountains, and happened to encounter a Persian caravan bound for the Han Kingdom in the east, and he survived. ”

Qin Chong narrated that his side image in the setting sun was very similar to the statue of Jesus Christ in a Roman church.

I seemed to see the picture of a group of defeated soldiers dying in the desert of yellow sand, the wounded and hungry soldiers falling from their horses, and the last neighing of the horses before they died.

Qin Chong and the others may not have known the news that King Cézanne, Ronier, the infantry commander, Bourne, Salander and others were all captured.

Tens of thousands of crosses on both sides of the road from Belroea to the city-state of Antioch still float the souls of these Canaanite rebels.

There was also the defeat of the expedition of the Duchy of Armenia to Constantinople, the imminent betrayal of Sassanid Persia.

Compared with the deceased, these living brothers are really a blessing in misfortune!

"Qin Chong, pot helmet! It's good to be back! Water under the bridge! Tell the two of you the good news that Kulia and Sakuran Gebu are still unmarried! Hahaha! Rest well tonight, brothers, and tomorrow I will serve you a drink! ”

I turned around and laughed with Sabing and Nimi, who had just arrived in the East, and Duo'er hurriedly translated it in Canaanite Semitic Turkish.

"Miss Ouran, I don't know, do you remember? Hehe. ”

Liu Zhen'er said with a wry smile, in the days when Beloeaa was the deputy general of the Jockey Legion, he was called a hungry ghost in the color, and he was surrounded by stunning Roman women.

If it weren't for the rout of Antioch, now in the general's mansion in Belroea, this guy would already have a group of wives and concubines, how could he still remember the poor singer of the Western Regions.

Now that I am so down, I think of this beautiful woman I admired in the past.

"Pot helmet, if you still have a heart for Sister Ouran, this beautiful thing will be wrapped in Miss Ben, how about it?"

Listening to Liu Zhen'er's words, Gu Landuo laughed.

"Then there is Miss Lao, Liu Zhen'er thanked me first!" Liu Yu immediately thanked him.

The sunset had sunset in the west between the words, and the Qingfengze Inn in the mist was close in front of him, and there were bursts of pleasant wind chimes from the corner tower.

Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er both stopped talking, and heavy sobbing came from their horses, which made me feel a heart-wrenching sourness.

At noon the next day, my wife Kurina specially asked the kitchen to prepare four roasted whole camels, and the Shanshan sake and Dongtu sake in the store were poured out.

On the shore of Qingfengze Lake, a grand open-air luncheon was held to celebrate the resurrection of the two brothers Qin Chong and Liu Zhen'er and their safe return home, and to welcome the true love of the three Semitic brothers, Sabing, Hull, and Nimi.

All the guys of the caravan were present, and Uncle Su and they also rushed back from Kunlun Horse Farm in advance.

Mr. Lonely Yuanyi is really a master, and he specially took out the guqin brought from Chang'an, sat cross-legged on the tall stone plate, and played the piano for us.

The sun is shining on the lake breeze, the Yuan Yi master crane has wide clothes and slightly closed eyes, and the song "High Mountains and Flowing Water" seems to flow from nine days away, which reminds me of the Qingqiao mountain people in the south of the mountain.

Qin Chong and the five of them had already cut off their artemisia grass-like hair, changed into gray summer clothes, and had a good night's sleep.

Although the young man is no longer full of vicissitudes of life, he is more brave than he was back then.

Now that the caravan is about to set off, it is the time to employ people, and it is really heaven to help me that they can return at this time!

Last night, I heard that Qin Chong and their mother were overjoyed after their safe return, and promised in front of the Buddha's shrine that she would go to Zanmo Temple to give 500 gold to reshape the golden body of the Buddhas enshrined in the temple.

In addition, she also temporarily decided to let Gu Landuo go with us to the Poison Buddha Country.

Now that the inn business has resumed as before, the haze that has been floating on our Yi family for several years has all dissipated.

All this is due to the compassion of the Buddha, so the main task of Gulando's trip is to go to the Buddha's hometown and make a pilgrimage on behalf of his mother, fulfilling his mother's long-standing wish as a Buddhist.

"Grandma, you have to think about it! It's not easy for my daughter to make up her mind to stay with you! ”

This morning, I took Su'er and Gulanduo for a walk in the poplar forest by the lake with my mother, and after listening to my mother's answer, Duo'er reminded me with joy.

"Hey! Think about it! I had a dream last night for my mother, and I dreamed that your big bird was hovering in front of the temple of the Southern Buddha Kingdom. This must be the enlightenment of the Buddha, hehe. Naturally, it is the will of the compassionate Buddha, how can you be disobedient for your mother! I heard Shamihan say that it is with you and Qingluan accompanying Jincheng that they can turn evil into good fortune and come to the bitter end. Your mother's mind has been decided, so you should prepare early! ”

My mother had made up her mind, took Su'er in my arms, and took his little hand and walked in front.

The grandparents and grandchildren formed a warm picture of home on the gravel path in the forest.

"Grandma, there are too many things inside and outside this inn, Kurina can't take care of it alone, so it's better for Duo'er to stay at home. With their aunt and sister-in-law helping each other, we have less worries when we go out. ”

My untimely suggestion offended Grundot, and her eyes seemed to kill me.

"You can rest assured about trivial matters at home, because my mother is not yet old, and it is okay to drag my grandson. The affairs of the inn were assisted by Kulia and Inglandlil, and there were so many men and maids to send, it was more than enough for Su'er and his mother to take care of it alone. It's that you two don't make people worry, this time you must go to the poisonous Buddha country and return early, don't let the old and young in the family worry about it! ”

The mother tongue is serious and long-hearted, not only to fulfill our dream of traveling all over the world, but also to have a strong heart of reluctance.

"Brother is partial, for fear that my grandma will abuse my sister-in-law! Aren't you afraid that I will stay at home and partner with my grandma to bully her? ”

Duo'er said sarcastically sourly, seeing me talking to my wife, the boss in my heart was unhappy.

"My family Duo'er Bodhisattva is hearted, how can he bully his own sister-in-law! Hehe! I said nonchalantly.

"Not really! The most difficult thing in the world is the relationship between my sister-in-law, brother, you want to stick a rod in the middle, but don't blame Miss Ben for being polite! ”

Do'er was unforgiving, and didn't mean to forgive me.

"You brothers and sisters, stop making trouble! Ay! In the past few years, you have not seen anyone alive or dead outside, you can make people sad to death, and you have to support this huge inn and take care of our two old and young, it is really embarrassing for my daughter-in-law! Duo'er, if it weren't for the Buddha's revelation, Weiniang really didn't want you to go out again! ”

My mother and Su'er turned around at the same time, my grandmother's face was full of solemnity, but the childish Su'er was full of joy, thinking that we adults were doing what kind of game!

"Grandma, I was wrong! The relationship between Duoer and sister-in-law is good! I just can't get used to seeing my brother's preference for his wife! ”

Afraid that my mother would take back her life just now, Duo'er hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her grandmother's arm and said coquettishly, while grimacing at me.

At this time, a guy came to tell me that Uncle Su and they had returned from Kunlun Racecourse and asked me to go to discuss the departure of the journey.

I quickly asked my mother to take my leave, slipped out of the poplar forest, and also wrote down this lesson.

In the future, if there is anything between the little sister Duoer and Mrs. Kuzhina, they will solve it by themselves, and they will be peaceful in the world.

If I say a few more words in the middle, I will definitely fall left and right

No wonder Kong Sheng said that only women and villains are difficult to raise in this world!

At noon, the wine banquet by the lake was in full swing, and Gulando also came to join in the fun, followed by two men carrying white silk painting scrolls.

In the past few days since returning to Qingfengze, Duo'er has privately connected all the dozens of silk paintings made on the way into a huge brocade picture about 100 feet long.

The scroll unfolds slowly, and the two ends are fixed to the railing in front of the college, which is gorgeous and joyful under the direct rays of the afternoon sun.

It is like the yellow water river that loops around the nine winds of the eastern soil, and it is like a dragon soaring under the blue sky.

Everyone gathered around, shocked by the roadmap of the world's merchants.

The city-states of High Annex, Sberham, Antioch! The Venerable Monk of the Brahmana Kingdom, the beautiful Demir of Herat City, and the Lin Jin Township Brother of the Beloeya Bazaar!

Looking at every place name, every hill, and every long river in the painting, the old people and stories on the westward journey flow in front of you like floating clouds in the sky.

I felt my heart tightened and lingered, and I really wanted to cry for a long time.

"Miss's women don't let her eyebrows go, which makes Lao Su embarrassed! Oh, such a long picture of business is enough to go down in history, Miss please accept the old man's worship! On behalf of the whole world's businessmen, thank you, Miss! ”

Uncle Su carefully browsed from beginning to end, and bowed to Duo'er with emotion.

"Uncle Su, you're always killing Duo'er! And it's not my fault alone! ”

Duo'er hurriedly returned the salute, and she was a little overwhelmed by such a compliment.

"You deserve to be worshipped! You deserve to be worshipped! Hehe, the long business journey of the east and west can be traced according to the map from now on, such an immortal achievement, enough to be a thousand years! Miss is bowed by Lao Su again! ”

Uncle Su wanted to salute again, but was stopped by Duo'er giggling.

"Mr. Lonely, the fly in the ointment of this painting is that it is still one name away! Mr. is rich in five cars, and the disciples want to borrow Mr.'s ink treasure to use! ”

Mr. Lonely Yuanyi stood in the crowd with a wine cup, already a little drunk, and I hurriedly stepped forward to invite.

"The green mountains go west to the mountains and mountains, and the sea country is cloudy and the road is thousands of miles! Great! Great! Hahaha! It's called Wanli Business Road Sea Country Cloud Sky Map, what do the young master and young lady think? ”

The gentleman stroked his long gray-white beard and looked at the long scroll, and laughed proudly!

"Thousands of miles of business, the sea and the sky are cloudy! The freehand is majestic and majestic! Dawn! Hurry up and let the pen and ink wait! ”

Duo'er's purpose in coming to post the picture was to ask for Mr. Lonely's ink treasure, so the pen and ink jade inkstone had already been prepared next to it.

Mr. Lonely Yuanyi did not shirk, rolled up his sleeves and lifted the wolf from the desk to dip the ink slightly, and completed it in one go in the middle of the header of the picture scroll, and the eight-character Lishu of "Ten Thousand Miles of Commerce, Haiguo Yuntian" jumped on the paper.

Then Mr. took out an oval private seal from his bosom, and left a vermilion stamp of "Lonely Chang'an" at the right end of the word "Tian".

Loneliness is Mr. 's surname, and "Chang'an" is his homeland.
