While Qin Cheng was discussing with Dou Fei Liumu and the others how to deal with the situation in front of them, Yi Xue'er sat alone in the room, staring at the wine glass on the table in a daze.

The person she saw in the court today was greatly surprised by her expectations, she never thought that this person would be so bold and dare to come to Loulan in person, and even to the mud city, and even appeared in the palace of the king of Loulan in front of everyone.

Yi Xue'er was very worried, she was wondering, in this situation of internal and external attacks, how would Qin Cheng deal with it in order to survive the current crisis.

She didn't worry about that person, she only worried about Qin Cheng.

Now, only Yi Xue'er knows how unfavorable the situation has been for Qin Cheng and the others. She didn't dare to expect Qin Cheng to complete the mission at all, as long as Qin Cheng could leave Loulan alive and return to Dahan alive, Yi Xue'er felt that this was already something to be extremely fortunate about.

The small mud city, with no more than 10,000 households and a population of only 40,000, is nothing compared to a county town in Dahan, like ants compared to horses. However, Yi Xueer knew that what happened in the mud city in the past two days would greatly affect the situation of the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty, two great powers in the world.

It can even play a decisive role.

Thinking like this, Yi Xue'er's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little.

For half a day, Icher spent this uneasiness until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Qincheng was taking a nap, and someone in the post house knocked on the door to inform Qincheng that there were guests visiting. At this time, who could come to the post house to find him, Qin Cheng did not know. But when he saw the people entering the house, he felt extremely normal.

The person who came to Qincheng was none other than Xike Teaman, who is now Loulan Keqing.

"I said who would come to me at this sensitive time, it turned out to be you kid." Qin Cheng smiled and beckoned the Xike teaman to come into the house and sit down, "Why did you have time to come to me?" Before the situation is unclear, if you come to the post house to find me, the Han envoy, you are not afraid that if Loulan forms an alliance with the Xiongnu, you, an official who cannot be obtained, will come to an end? ”

"To tell you the truth, I came secretly." The Sico teaman drank the water, as if he was extremely thirsty, and drank three bowls in a row. There is no way, there is no tea for him to drink in the palace.

Qin Cheng laughed when he heard this, and said strangely after laughing: "Then I'm curious, at this time, you are secretly coming to me, shouldn't you be looking for me to catch up?" ”

"I've only known the general for a few days, and it's too early to talk about the past." Xike Chafu said, and looked at Qin Cheng seriously: "The general also knows that I am a person of fame and fortune, and there is no place for fame and fortune, so I will not rush there." ”

"You are now a guest of Loulan Kingdom, and although your status is not very prominent, it is not bad. Besides, this is what you have earned with your life, and the preciousness can be seen for you. Qin Cheng said slowly, "At this time, I can let you risk losing your official position to come to me, it must be quite tempting." I just don't know what kind of temptation can have this weight. ”

"Although Keqing is not small, for me, it is just like this white water, although it can quench thirst, but that's all." Siko teaman looked at the tea bowl in his hand and said slowly.

Qin Cheng smiled and said, "I know that you kid has a big heart, but I never thought that your heart would be so big. The position of guest is only like white water to you, which can only quench your thirst...... So where is the place you want in your heart? ”

The teaman looked towards the location of the palace and then to the north, and said, "The drink that my heart longs for is the wine of the imperial gift. Ordinary aristocrats regard it as a treasure, but I regard it as normal, and can make children and grandchildren have a good time! ”

"......" The banter on Qin Cheng's face disappeared, replaced by a very solemn one, he looked at Xike Teaman, and said, "In this way, I can probably know why you are here today and who you are here for." ”

"The general might as well talk about it." Sico Teaman laughed.

"Before you came here, you must have met King Loulan and successfully sold the ink in your stomach, right?" Qin Cheng's voice was very low, with a slightly depressed aura.

"The Great General is wise! But I don't have any ink in my stomach, and I've just drunk three bowls of white water. The Sico teaman saluted, without any intention of detouring, and said bluntly: "I am here for my king this time." ”

Qin Cheng didn't pause and said, "Unite the Han for the King of Loulan?" ”

Xike teaman nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Unite the Han and fight the Huns together." After that, he added: "The king believes that the Han envoy will be able to relieve the current siege of Loulan and successfully form an alliance with Loulan. If this is the case, Loulan will be the absolute ally of the Han in the Western Regions in the future! ”

"Huh!" Qin Cheng laughed twice again, and did not deny or affirm what Xike Chafu said, but said, "How did you know that I could fight against the tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops on my own? Where did you get this faith? ”

Xike teaman shook his head slowly, looked at Qin Cheng and said seriously: "The reason why the great general is a great general is because there is a great man behind the great general, and there is a million army of the great Han. Wherever the general went, it was not the general alone, but the Han, the Han army! ”

"Haha......" Qin Cheng couldn't stop laughing, but looked at Xike Chafu with sharp eyes, and said seriously: "Originally, I thought I had a high opinion of you, but today I realized that I still underestimated you before!" ”

Xike teaman smiled and was about to say something, but Qin Cheng suddenly asked sharply, "Who are you?" ”

...................................

Just as Qin Cheng and Xike Chafu were talking in the post house, a servant of the post house also knocked on Yi Xue'er's door.

"What?" Echer opened the door and looked at the servants outside the door.

"Someone asked me to bring you a token for your envoy." The servant pulled out a wolf tooth, handed it to Ixher, and said with an expression.

When she saw this wolf tooth, she recognized it at a glance and thought of its owner. Yi Xue'er was not surprised by this, since she saw that person in Loulan Palace today, Yi Xue'er has been mentally prepared.

"What else?" Ixher asked.

The servant shook his head, but gestured with his hand, "There are no more words." The man simply said that if the envoy recognized the token, he would let the villain take the envoy to a wine shop in the city. ”

Icher understood what the servant meant, and asked him to lead the way.

When he left the door of the post house, it happened that Qin Qingzhi was standing guard.

"The princess wants to go out?" Qin Qingzhi greeted with a smile.

"Feel free to walk around." Icher said.

Loulan's style is extraordinarily large, blowing on people's faces makes people feel painful, with some mud and sand, and it is very uncomfortable to fall on the face. Yi Xue'er, who left the door of the post house, didn't care about this, bowed her head and was silent all the way, following the footsteps of the servants.

"This is it." The servant took Ixher to the door of a liquor store in the city, and then he did not go in, but motioned to Ixher.

Icher took out a valuable item and handed it to the servant, and then walked into the wine shop with the servant's smile on his face.

When he entered the gate, he was greeted by a servant from a wine shop, and he didn't ask anything, just signaled to Yi Xueer and asked Yi Xueer to follow him. When she walked through this wine shop, Yi Xueer saw a lot of people who were dressed as Loulan people, but they obviously didn't look like ordinary drinkers. For these people, Yi Xueer naturally knows what their identities are.

When they came to a private room, the servants withdrew. Ixel groaned at the door, reaching out to knock.

Just as Ixel's hand was about to fall, the door was opened.

"Sister Ayi." The one who opened the door was a middle man, with dark skin and bright eyes, although he was dressed in the ordinary clothes of a Loulan person, he couldn't hide the strong aura he exuded.

This person is none other than the one who has appeared in the court today as Zhao Xin's entourage, and is actually Yi Zhixian of the Xiongnu Da Danyu.

"Big Order." Yi Xue'er made a Xiongnu salute to Yi Zhi.

"Where do you and I need such red tape? Come, come and sit. Yi Zhi's smile was particularly kind, beckoning Yi Xue'er to come into the house and sit down.

"Actually, you don't have to reward the servants of the inn, I've already given it." After sitting down, Yi Zhi said with a smile, his tone and expression were as usual, and there was no strangeness and estrangement that would occur after three years of separation.

"I know." Compared with Yi Zhi's kindness, Yi Xue'er's expression was a little lighter. If you look closely, you will find that Yi Xue'er does not have a light expression, but there is always a sorrow between her eyebrows, "It's just that Da Dan Yu gives Da Dan Yu, and I give it mine." ”

"Oh?" Yi Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "It's okay, since you want to give it, it's up to you over there." ”

Yi Xue'er didn't say much, she barely dissipated the sorrow in her eyebrows, and showed a smile, "Why did Da Shan Yu come to Loulan in person this time?" ”

"I'll come to Loulan in person, so naturally I'll take you back." Yi Zhixian said as a matter of course, "By the way, bring that kid from Qincheng back." ”

Yi Xue'er looked at Yi Zhixian curiously, "Take Qin Cheng back?" ”

"Of course." Yi Zhixian poured Yi Xue'er full of wine, "This guy in Qincheng has caused me so much trouble over the years, this time I must bring him back to the grassland to worship my ancestors, and I will snow the hatred of all these years." ”

"Da Dan Yu ......" Yi Xue'er wanted to speak and stopped, and suddenly she felt that Yi Zhi's words had become extremely natural, which seemed very ridiculous to her today.

Yi Zhixian and Qin Cheng have been fighting on the battlefield for so many years, how can they win once? In the end, it was just a loss to his wife and a soldier. And now Yi Zhixian is ashamed to bring Qin Cheng back to the grassland to worship his ancestors? It's so natural. Yi Xue'er suddenly felt a little funny, because Yi Zhi's arrogance. If this had been placed three years ago, Yi Xueer would have felt that Yi Zhixian was a kind of king domineering. But after experiencing the Battle of Hexi and the Battle of Monan, the Xiongnu could only flee far away from Mobei, Yi Xue'er could only feel ridiculous when she heard such words again.

It's like a bullfrog that has been trampled flat by a bull and still amplifies and says, "I'm going to kill that cow and roast it and eat it—I'm not afraid of dying?"

Yi Zhi obliquely saw that Yi Xue'er wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that she was very moved, so she said: "Of course, if Ah Yimei feels that she can't let Qin Cheng die so happily, I can hand him over to you, and still rely on you to fall, and also repay you for the humiliation suffered by the Han in the past three years!" ”

After speaking, Yi Zhi straightened up and said, "But these still have to be your cooperation, the reason why I asked you out to meet this time, instead of letting you go directly to my accommodation, is to avoid people's eyes." After all, I still want you to help calculate this kid Qin Cheng, and it's best to include Liu Che as well. ”

"Big order in ...... Do you want me to help you calculate Qin Cheng and calculate the big man? Yi Xue'er looked at Yi Zhixian incredulously.

"The reason why I followed Zhao Xin to the three-foot palace of King Loulan this time is to make you recognize me, on the one hand, to reassure you, and on the other hand, to make you not suspicious when you are called out." Yi Zhixian was in a good mood, he was completely immersed in his own joy and said to himself: "When we finish Loulan's affairs, we can go back to the grassland." When the time comes, if you are willing to continue to lead the troops, you will continue to lead the troops, and when the time comes, we will have to recapture the pastures plundered by the Han people, and I have already completed the second king, and it will only take three years to do this at most. However, if you feel tired, you can also live a comfortable life. In short, it's up to you. ”

"Da Dan Yu wants to counterattack the Great Han, and it only takes three years to recapture the occupied grassland?" Ixel thought the conversation was ridiculous to the extreme. She really wanted to ask, didn't Yi Zhixian know that the border city of the Han Dynasty was almost completely built, and he was ready to send troops to Mobei?

Yi Zhi thought that Yi Xue'er was shocked by his grand blueprint, raised his glass to Yi Xue'er, drank it himself, and said proudly: "There are some situations that you don't know yet, I will slowly tell you about these in detail in the future." But now I can tell you clearly, Liu Che is finishing, and the Han people are finishing! Ha ha! ”

Yi Zhixian said a lot today, and his demeanor was a little arrogant, which was not quite in line with his usual style. And all of this is because he has seen Yi Xueer, who he has not seen for many years, the only relative he recognizes. In front of his closest relatives, Yi Zhixian felt that there was no need to put on a mask for himself, and he could even behave childishly.

Icher didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent. Today's banquet where brothers and sisters meet, although Yi Xueer was worried at first, she still had a little joy in her heart. If there is anything else in the grassland that can make her worry, it is this brother who has taken care of her since childhood.

Although, he is the son of an enemy.

But since the beginning of this conversation, Yi Xue'er's interest has dropped again and again, and now she doesn't want to say another word, and the only joy left in her heart has gradually faded to the point of disappearing.

Yi Zhi saw that Yi Xue'er was a little absent-minded, and then he realized that he was indeed a little out of shape today, but he didn't think it was a big deal, so he raised his wine glass to Yi Xue'er and said, "Ah Yimei, drink." You and I haven't drunk together for a long time, and in the days when you were not on the grassland, I often miss the days when we used to train together and eat meat and drink wine around the campfire. Now, you're about to return to the grassland, and our brothers and sisters can have a drink together. ”

Yi Xue'er drank the wine in the cup, and when she put down the wine glass, she made up her mind and said to Yi Zhi: "Da Danyu, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, but this has been held in my heart for many years, if I don't say it today, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future." So I decided to speak out. ”

"You and I still have something I can't say, but it's okay to say it." Yi Zhixian did not grasp the hidden meaning of Yi Xue'er's words.

"Da Danyu, don't fight with Dahan anymore." Yi Xue'er looked at Yi Zhixian and said sincerely.

Yi Zhi raised his glass and drank in mid-air, stunned for a long time, Yi Zhi put down the wine glass, looked at Yi Xue'er, and said unconvinced: "Ah Yi Mei, what did you just say?" ”

"Stop it, Huns...... can't fight the big man. If it continues to fight, it will not be beneficial to the Huns. Ixelle's voice was deep.

Yi Zhi was stunned there, half a sound did not respond, he looked at Yi Xue'er in confusion, as if he didn't know Yi Xue'er, "Ah Yimei, what's wrong with you?" How can you say such a thing? ”

"Da Shan Yu, I'm telling the truth." Yi Xue'er said, her expression complicated, "Do you remember the words of your predecessor Xiangguo?" He said that the Han Dynasty is a vast land, and compared with the Xiongnu, it is like a behemoth, if the Han Dynasty pours all the strength of the whole country to deal with the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu will not be able to fight the Han at all. Nowadays, the Han government and the opposition are working together to fight against the Xiongnu, and the number of Han cavalry is increasing every year. You haven't been to the Han Dynasty and don't know that the materials and population of the Han Dynasty are not comparable to those of the Xiongnu...... Da Danyu, stop it, reconcile with the Han Dynasty, and if you continue to fight, there will be no tomorrow for the Huns! ”

"Shut up!" Yi Zhixian became furious, he got up from his seat, trembling all over, and the eyes that looked at Yi Xue'er changed, "As a Hun person, how can you say such a thing?" Do you remember that you were a Hun ?! The Great Huns are invincible, invincible! Have you forgotten your ambitions, and forgotten that we are all fighting for the Great Huns?! ”

"Da Danyu," Yi Xue'er smiled sadly, "The national struggle is not a strong and competitive country that can be won with a blood that is not afraid of death, the key to victory or defeat lies in strength." When Hexi Monan was still alive, the Huns couldn't fight the Han, so what do they do to fight the Han now? ”

"Princess Eva!" Yi Zhi slanted and roared like an angry lion, "Do you know who you're talking to right now? You are a Hun, a Hun! How could the Huns speak for the Han Chinese?! ”

"I'm a Han envoy now." Yi Xue'er's words were like a thunderclap on the ground, hitting Yi Zhi's heart hard!

"What did you say!?" Yi Zhi oblique incredulous
