Inside the rickety carriage, Emile looked out the window blankly. From the cage-like courtyard to the cage-like carriage box, she was numb when she was alone, and the whole person seemed to have been lost in this endless river of time. Only hope to the pure and high sky, wide eyes, thumping heart, made her feel that she was still alive.

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, the carriage door was opened, and Amir saw the starry eyes of the road. My own wandering and loss, loneliness and loneliness seem to be clearly presented in it.

Facing the firm hands stretched out in front of him, Amir's eyes widened in horror, and the bird shrank back. If he holds these hands, he will lead himself in a certain direction.

took out Lu Jiu's cloak, wrapped Amir, brutally put her on the arrogant horse, and under Wang Shiyi's stunned gaze, he turned over and got on the horse, hugged Emir, whipped away, and gradually disappeared into the misty yellow mist.

The horses galloped vigorously, leaving the smoke far behind. Emile gradually calmed down from his panic, and after a while, his heart thumped again, and he couldn't help but want to open his arms and enjoy the sensation of flying.

In the clouds, it was like a dream. After some time, the horse slowed down, turned over and dismounted, picked up Emile again, and handed her a water bladder and a piece of bread.

Emile looked at the endless wasteland in a daze, and asked in a daze, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"Blue sky, beautiful white clouds, endless flocks of sheep, the place of your dreams." I wiped my dusty face and smiled happily.

Emile froze for a moment, and after a while, asked in disbelief, "Are you kidnapping me?" ”

"Yes! I kidnapped a beautiful princess, Amir. Lu said with a smile.

For some reason, Amir's tears kept dripping like beads.

Lu stretched out his hands and carefully caught these tears one by one.

"Your tears are as beautiful and precious as pearls, don't waste them like this."

Emile couldn't hold back, and the tears were still dripping down in large numbers.

He gently wiped the crystal clear tears from the corners of Amir's eyes with his sleeve, and said in a dreamy voice.

"I don't know how far away the place of your dreams is. Let's go and have a look, go to the direction of the Western Regions. I think I can always get to your hometown. ”；

Emile couldn't hold back any longer, and threw himself into the arms of the road, and the two hugged tightly.

The crescent moon rises and sets, and the dark dusk turns into a cold dawn. With a raging flame in their hearts, the two leaned on each other and supported each other all the way to Liangzhou.

Look at the majestic and tall city walls, majestic and mighty soldiers. Amir's heart tightened, and he covered himself tightly with the head on his cloak, and plunged into the arms of the road. He patted Emile on the shoulder and said comfortingly.

"Don't worry, while Lu Jiu is asleep. I pulled out the blank guide from her luggage and stamped it with her seal. Now we are the people of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. A newlywed couple returning to their hometown to visit relatives, these soldiers will not embarrass us. ”；

"Hehe, so I'm your newlywed little lady now?" Amir's eyes widened and he looked at the road with a smile.

Awkwardly, he touched his head and smiled silently.

As soon as he saw the seal of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the soldiers didn't even confiscate the entrance fee, waved their hands and let them go.

I found an ordinary inn to stay in, and when I passed by, I told Amir to stay in the room carefully. So he went out alone, sold his horse, and got a carriage. Only then did he return to the inn and let Xiao Er prepare hot food and bring it into the room.

Emile, who heard the movement in the room, opened the door like a kitten and slipped into the arms of the road. It seems that leaving for a while has made her frightened for a long time.

Xiao Er sent a steaming meal, which was almost swept away by the two of them. Looking at the clean dishes, the two couldn't help but laugh.

"Is it hard?" Passing by, he touched Amir's head lovingly.

Emile looked up at the road, his eyes lit up, and he shook his head slightly.

"I sold the horse and got a carriage, so I won't have to work so hard in the future." Said on the way.

"Is it a carriage that can only carry people?" Amir asked, looking up.

He nodded.

"In the Western Regions, very few people buy this kind of carriage that can only carry people. They all buy the kind of cart that can load a lot of goods, and in case of rain and snow, they can support the shed to shelter from the wind and rain. You know what? The porcelain silk bought from the Tang Dynasty can be sold for a lot of money in the more western parts of the Western Regions. Many couples in the Western Regions are doing this, going all the way and accumulating a lot of wealth. ”；

Emile said with a blushing face.

"I can't imagine that my princess Amir still knows how to make money in her little head." I laughed happily when I was on the road.

"Humph! You don't know, the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu in the Western Regions. We, the people of Kang and Shi, have been trading with the Central Plains for a long time. In this barren land, it was difficult to feed the people by farming and grazing sheep, so the people of the two countries became rich by relying on business. So, all of our people have the merchant factor in their blood. ”

Emile said proudly.

"Okay, listen to you, tomorrow we will change the carriage to a big cart, and buy a lot of silk and silk, and transport it to your hometown, and make a lot of money." Lu Lu didn't have much wealth on his body, so he agreed to Amir's proposal.

Emile threw himself into the bed excitedly, rolling happily. It wasn't until they were sleepy that the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

Changing into the newly bought clothes of the Hu people in the Western Regions, the two sat side by side in the wheel, took a cart of silk bought from Liangzhou, and went all the way to the west.

Listening to the songs familiar to travelers, Emile suddenly felt that as long as he was with the road, the hometown of his dreams would definitely be able to hug him.

After crossing Ganzhou and coming to the Qilian Mountains, the temperature is getting colder and colder, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians. Under the shade of the trees, there are two figures by the snow stream that snuggle up tightly and warm each other. In the cold wind and heavy rain, the two struggled to support the shed and resist the ruthless cleaning of the wind and rain. It is almost the same as those ordinary merchant couples in the Western Regions.

Next to a small hot spring that he had accidentally discovered, he stopped early with Amir. After so many days of hard work, being able to wash in the hot springs is tantamount to a paradise for the hard-working business travelers.

Lying in the warm water, I was so comfortable that I almost groaned. Looking at a large cart full of goods not far away, looking at the quiet crescent moon in the sky, there is an inexplicable fulfillment and inexplicable satisfaction in my heart.

There was a sound of water, and Amir, who was supposed to be resting in the car after freshening up, appeared naked in front of the passer, and the moonlight shone on her white skin, exuding a radiant luster. A pair of beautiful eyes, full of a hint of friendship, looked at the road fixedly, beautiful like a woman who is not like the ordinary people in the world.

The two of them slowly approached, their lips touching lightly. In the moonlight, in the faint mist of the hot spring, the two bodies hugged tightly until the sound of the water in the hot spring became louder and louder, and the sound became more and more dense.

The two of them, who have not had anything happening for many days, are so natural and beautiful at this moment.

The body curled up in the arms of the passer, and Amir's voice sounded faintly.

"It is very unfortunate to be born in a small country in the Western Regions. The land is barren and the climate is cold, and people's lives are already very difficult. But he still has to face the two behemoths of the Great Food Country in the west and the Tang Dynasty in the east.

Instead of succumbing to the big food country, these small countries pay heavy taxes every year, and countless women have to pay tribute to the big Tang Na in the east. Compared with the greedy and rough food country, our people there prefer the Tang Dynasty, the country of etiquette.

But later, these Tang Dynasty border commanders became arrogant and lascivious one by one, and wantonly acted as a prestige on our heads. If one is dissatisfied, he will lead troops to destroy the country and the people will be displaced. Later, Lord An Lushan became the envoy of the Tang Dynasty and guarded the northern territory for the Tang Dynasty.

Lord An later sent people to the Western Regions, secretly took many tribes, gave them fertile grasslands, and asked them to help the barbarians who were lower than the north. And I, growing up in the grasslands of the north since I was a child, the Western Regions is just my hometown in my dreams. ”；

As he passed, his mood became a little heavy: "So, you're not the princess of Kangguo?" ”

"I don't know if I'm still a princess of Kangguo, my father died the king who was ousted from power before Kangguo, and then fled with us to the grasslands of the north. While competing with the Khitans for grassland, they settled down.

Day by day, I grew up, and the tribesmen said that I was the most beautiful pearl of the grassland. And I, the most beautiful pearl, naturally have to be dedicated to the great lord Ann.

I didn't see Lord An, but I was taken to a remote place in Longyou Road, and my fellow clansmen told me that this is my hometown Kangguo, and I am the little princess of Kangguo. And I, the princess who destroyed the country, was sent to Chang'an, and finally entered the Yang Mansion.

In the Yang Mansion, I not only have to serve the powerful Lord Yang, but also give him important guests to sleep. The pearl in the eyes of my people has actually become filthy. ”

A tear slipped down the edge of Amir's long eyelashes and down her white cheek and fell into the water, silently.

Gently wiped the tears from Amir's face with his hand, and felt uncomfortable in his heart as he passed, and he almost screamed loudly.

"The countries of the Western Regions have all submitted to the Tang Dynasty, aren't the people of the Western Regions also the subjects of the Tang Emperor? Why did those people falsely accuse Lord An of rebellion, and why did they say that Li Linfu, who promoted the general of the Hu clan and treated all foreign clans equally, would not live for more than three years. With such a vast territory as Datang, can't it give us a place to settle down? ”

Amir's face looked so sad and helpless.
