Before Tang Ning came, he had a general understanding of the situation in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions are known as the Thirty-six Kingdoms, but the countries with a population of more than 10,000, less than ten, and a population of several thousand, can already be regarded as a medium-sized country in the Western Regions, of course, there are only a handful of small countries like Shan Huan and Wu Greedy.

Although these countries are small, they are also one of the many countries in the Western Regions, and the horse thieves of the desert dare to loot the caravans, but they dare not make a move against these small countries.

Once they destroy a small country, the powerful powers in the Western Regions will completely wipe them out on the desert.

However, this is already a thing of the past.

Now that the Western Regions have become a mess, those big countries can't take care of themselves, where can they take care of these small countries, so there is a tragic case of a group of horse thieves looting Shan Huan.

The country of Wu Greedy is not far from Shan Huan, not much bigger than Shan Huan, Tang Ning was worried about them for a while, until he learned from Bahar's mouth that although the country of Wu Greedy is small, but the old and weak women and children are good at martial arts, it can be said that all the people are soldiers, and if you want to slaughter Wu Greedy, you need at least a gang of more than 1,000 horse thieves.

In the Western Regions, small horse thief gangs generally only have a dozen people, and those who slaughtered Shan Huan today are already considered medium horse thief forces, and in the entire desert, there are no horse thieves with more than a thousand people.

Their targets are all large caravans full of goods, trying their best to fight the Ugandan greedy country, and the cost performance is extremely low.

This has led to the Ugandan Greedy Country standing out among these small countries, the small horse thieves can't beat them, and the large horse thieves can't look down on them, which also makes the Ugandan Greedy Country safer.

The Shan Huan country and the Shan Huan country are both small pocket-sized countries, the two countries are not far apart, and they have been friends for generations, and the remaining people of the Shan Huan country will go to the country of the Shan Huan tomorrow.

It just so happens that the Wu Greedy Country is also on the route of Tang Ning and the others, and tomorrow by the way, escort these Shan Huan people over, and then buy some food from the Wu Greedy Country, and then they can set off again.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tang Ning and the others packed their bags, and dozens of survivors of Shan Huan Kingdom had already assembled.

They burned down dozens of houses in the country, and whether or not the Uglyphant State would accept them, this was already their home that they couldn't go back to.

"Let's go."

Tang Ning turned over on the camel and walked out of the oasis, and the people of Shan Huan also rode on the camel, and the camel carried them and their luggage and walked towards the depths of the desert.

After entering the desert for more than half a month, Tang Ning had already become accustomed to this environment, Tang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao had already been used to it, and after seeing the "big scene" yesterday, they became listless again.

Tang Ning rode a camel, deliberately a few steps behind, walked side by side with Tang Yaoyao, glanced at her, and asked, "What, regret it?" ”

At the beginning, she swore to follow Tang Ning and prevent him from messing with flowers and grass in the Western Regions, but now she has become a frosted eggplant, hiding her pretty face under the cloak and veil, and riding on a camel leisurely.

Hearing Tang Ning's voice, the beautiful eyes under her cloak glanced at Tang Ning, gritted her teeth and said, "No regrets!" ”

Tang Ning looked at her and Xiaoxiao, thought for a while, and said, "If you don't wait until you get to the country of Wu Greed, you can stay there, and when I finish my work in Xiaowan, I will take you back." ”

Tang Ning knew that the Western Regions were in chaos, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

After seeing Shan Huan's tragedy today, he had the idea of not letting Tang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao follow them on adventures again.

It is naturally best to stay in the Chen Kingdom, but it is a pity that they have been in the desert for half a month, and it is even more dangerous to let them go back, because of the particularity of the Wu Greedy Country, the horse thieves will not make a move against them, leaving an elder who is proficient in poison Gu to take care of them, which is enough to deal with all the dangers.

"I'm going to go with you." Tang Yaoyao glanced at him and said, "I don't want me to have another sister after you come back." ”

Tang Ning knew that she was duplicitous, but after feeling her resoluteness, he was no longer reluctant.

However, if Tang Shui hadn't found her parents, the marriage contract between the two would not be invalidated, and Tang Xiaoxiao would not have one more sister, but one more sister.

After all, when Tang Ning was not yet, there was that marriage book, and Tang Shui should be the sister of all of them.

Tang Yaoyao rode on a camel, looked at him, and asked, "What do you want?" ”

Tang Ning put away his thoughts and said, "If you want to follow, you can follow, put you in the country of Wu Greed, and I don't worry about ......."

……

The country of Wu is dozens of miles west of the country of Shanhuan, and the speed of the camel in the desert is not very fast, and it has been there in a few hours.

From a distance, a low earthen wall appeared in the desert, the height of the wall was only a zhang, and most of the loess on it had peeled off, making it even more dilapidated.

A piece of land enclosed by an earthen wall is the country of Wu Greed.

It is said that it is a country, but in fact, the area is not as good as a village and town in Chen State, when Tang Ning and his party approached the "city gate", a team of guards with weapons trotted from the city gate.

The old man from Shan Huan came out and communicated with them, and the leader looked at Tang Ning and his party, and then led them towards the city.

Although the country is small, there are actually shops and restaurants on the main street of the country, and some people who obviously look like Han people go in and out of the shops, and it is obvious that there are businessmen who have done business here.

Tang Ning and the others were taken directly to the palace, saying that it was the palace, but it was actually a larger earthen house, and a man wearing bright yellow clothes and a lot of jewels on his body sat on a high seat, watching them walk in.

"See the Lord!"

Everyone in Shan Huan Kingdom put their palms on their chests and bowed to the man.

Tang Ning and others also painted the gourd salute in the same way, after all, although other people's countries are small, they are also real kingdoms, and the number of etiquette that should be there is still no less.

Bahar glanced up and muttered in a low voice, "What's the change?" ”

Tang Ning's gaze looked over, and he hurriedly explained: "When I came here last year, the lord of the country was not ...... of the black greed."

Although these countries in the Western Regions have a small land area and few people in the country, within the low walls surrounded by loess, the people are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, including poor and rich households, ministers and lords.

In the same way, it is not uncommon for Chen Guo's court to intrigue and usurp the throne here, and because these small countries in the Western Regions are not many in number, it is very easy to launch a rebellion, and there are dozens of people under their command to launch a coup d'état.

This sounds like a playhouse, but it is a true portrayal of the domestic political struggle of these small countries in the Western Regions.

"I'm sorry to hear that." The lord of the country looked at the people of Shan Huan country, and showed a trace of regret on his face, and said: "It will be the birthday of the mother of the country in a few days, I originally planned to invite your lord here to participate in the banquet, but unfortunately ......"

He sighed and said, "Those damned horse thieves should be burned by the fire of hell day and night, and their souls burned to ashes......

The old man stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said: "The country of Shan Huan has been destroyed by those horse thieves, we are all homeless people, I ask the lord of the country to show mercy and be able to take in our remnants, the kindness of the lord of the country, the people of Shan Huan will never forget it......"

The lord of the country of Wu Greedy looked at them, if the country of Shan Huan defected, he would naturally welcome it, which would greatly enhance the strength of the country of Wu Greed.

But the young and strong people of Shan Huan Country have all died in the hands of horse thieves, and only these old and weak women and children are left, not only can not make the country stronger, but will become a burden to them.

His eyes flashed, he looked at the old man, shook his head and said: "Shan Huan and Wu Greedy are friendly neighbors and should help each other, but now that the situation in the Western Regions is in chaos, our country is still unable to protect itself, how can we shelter you?" ”

When the words of the lord of the Wu Greedy Country came this, it was obvious that he refused, and the expressions of everyone in the Shan Huan Kingdom turned pale in an instant.

Although Tang Ning couldn't understand their conversation, he probably guessed the result by looking at the expressions of everyone in Shan Huanguo.

The eyes of the lord of the country swept over everyone, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and when he looked at the old man of Shan Huan, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said: "However, if our country does not take you in, won't Shan Huan be going to perish, how can I watch my friends perish?" ”

The old man was already desperate, his expression was stunned when he heard this, and his face quickly showed joy, and he asked, "So, the lord of the country has agreed to take us in?" ”

The lord of the country did not answer this question directly, but looked at Tang Ning behind him, wearing a cloak Tang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoxiao, their cloak is used to shield the wind and sand in the desert, and the texture itself is not heavy, and a thin layer of light veil cannot completely cover the delicate face under the cloak.

The eyes of the lord of the country of Wu Greedy looked at them and asked the old man, "Are these two girls also the people of your Shan Huan country?" ”
