266 years in the new calendar.

Zhang Qian selected 100 warriors, with the father of the Huns as a guide, and was commissioned by the emperor to lead the Han Festival Scepter and send an envoy to the Western Regions.

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty went out of the gate of Weiyang Palace to send him off.

"Zhang Qian, I pin my hopes on you, this mission to the Western Regions is related to the well-being of the people, and this road to breaking the wilderness is difficult, but you must show my great Han national prestige outside, and you must have the bearing of a great country in everything, don't let the Western Regions countries underestimate my great Han."

"Minister, take the order." Zhang Qian knelt at the foot of the steps, making a loud noise.

"Go ahead." Emperor Jing waved his sleeves and watched Zhang Qian get on the horse, and the soldiers turned their horses' heads, and their figures gradually moved away.

Han Yan was also in the crowd on the side of the road, watching the mighty waves, like a team that had gone away, and the horses' hooves had passed through the slightly muddy puddles, leaving a series of long, distant footprints.

He himself was ready to travel thousands of miles to find the people of the sea and eat the bitter fruits of his own words.

If you want to find the people of the sea, you must go to the coastal place, there is the territory of the four feudal kings of Wu, Chu, Qiyan, and Yan.

After the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, most of the defeated vassal states were abolished and brought under the rule of the emperor, but those places were very chaotic, and the local powerful and scholars were entrenched, and the officials sent from Chang'an were arguing, and the emperor's orders were not necessarily easy to use here.

Han Yan thought about it, in fact, it was better to find the officials of the Han Dynasty than to find the princes.

The only one who did not participate in the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms was Liu Dingguo, the king of Yan, and he was the only one who was not cut down.

If you don't have the courage to participate in the rebellion of the kings, it means that this vassal king is still very afraid of the emperor, and the decree of the imperial court is best here.

The fief of the king of Yan is located in the later generations of Liao*ning, around the Bohai Sea, the most indispensable is probably the fishermen, on the far right of the Yan country, is the late Han Dynasty outside the Han Dynasty, the smoke is everywhere, the war is endless.

Han Yan has no friends in Chang'an City, except for Liu Che, there is nothing to be nostalgic for, with the emperor's edict, beside him and two soldiers of the Northern Army born in Yandi, riding horses to experience the freshness, followed by the carriage, and it was so bumpy on the road.

If you want to talk about horseback riding, in fact, Han Yan really can't, but during this time, he has confirmed that he has Hu blood, and he is naturally close to horses, plus the previous owner of this body is about a horse riding master, so he can come easily.

It's just that this horse is too aggrieved to ride, and the single stirrup, after sitting up, is like riding a wooden donkey, the feet are fluttering, and there is nowhere to exert strength, so you can only rely on grasping the reins or horse's mane, and then use the strength of the legs to clamp the horse's belly to balance the body.

At this time, if the horse riding master is placed in the future generations, he will probably win an Olympic championship and play.

There is no saddle except stirrups, and if the horse runs faster, it will be bumpy, and if the tail bone does not hurt to death, it will have to make the two eggs panic.

There is no horseshoe, but this thing not only protects the horse's hooves, but also keeps the horse's hooves firmly on the ground, which is good for riding and driving.

Back in the Han Dynasty, Han Yan suddenly discovered that he could really be an immortal, knowledge and knowledge were the greatest spells, and he could change the dynasty and change the country by inventing something casually.

But so far, he's not going to make stirrups or anything like that.

One is laziness.

The second is that it is not about oneself.

The third is that there is not much sense of identity with the Han Dynasty. Coming to a strange world, in addition to being cautious, facing a novel environment is mostly the mentality of the game world.

Thinking so, I was not interested in horseback riding.

He twisted twice on the horse's back, jumped off with his left foot in the stirrup, picked up his robe and went straight to the carriage behind him, in exchange for the faint disdain of the two soldiers.

The two of them immediately glanced at each other, both pouting their lips in disdain, thinking that this Yan Shizi was a young warrior, but they didn't expect that it was just for show, and they were exposed in their original form when they left Chang'an City.

I thought so in my heart, but I definitely didn't dare to show it in front of Han Yan, the Great Han Dynasty was very hierarchical, and the children of the princes were born superior, which was the glory that their fathers fought with their blood and lives.

Along the Shangjun Road, the Chi Road built by the previous dynasty was still good in the Han Dynasty, and it could go directly from Chang'an to the fief of King Yan.

There was an endless stream of people on the road, but most of them were in withered clothes, their faces were miserable, they were dressed in coarse linen clothes, and they walked far away on both sides of the road, looking away from the center, which was the emperor's special lane.

Seeing Han Yan's luxury carriage driving by, dusty, the people had no envy in their eyes, and they didn't even dare to take a second look, there was only awe in their eyes, and the dignity and humility were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The time of the journey was very boring, and before I knew it, the sunset left a long shadow, the afterglow dyed the red clouds, and the sky and wheat waves blended together, soaking the earth in the warm red glow.

"Yan Shizi, the hour is not early, we have to find a stable to stay overnight."

The coachman was keenly aware that the carriage was shaking, it was Han Yan moving his body, and he didn't dare to lift the curtain to see if people had woken up, so he could only turn around and shout cautiously.

"You can do it." Han Yan yawned and lifted the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

Dahan has the rule of working at sunrise and resting at sun, curfew is the norm, and it is a felony to go out at night to do activities, and traffic must be cut off.

When the coachman got the word, he immediately drove out of the road and headed for the stable [post station] not far from the roadside.

The blue-gray building, the roof is like a fish-scale hat, and the corners are upturned.

The owner of the stable is an old man, the hair tied up is black and white, meticulously soaked, the whole person looks very energetic, has the temperament of a soldier, and the hairpin that binds his hair is also tied with a delicate ribbon made of silk, indicating that he has a knighthood and is a third-level hairpin.

The Han Dynasty followed the twenty-rank lord system of the previous dynasty, but it was much easier to obtain the title than the previous dynasty.

Since Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty adopted Chao Cuo's opinion and implemented the Su standard policy, he could exchange Su for a knighthood, seek an official position, and be exempted from punishment, even if he was an ordinary farmer, as long as he was diligent, there were no natural disasters, and the grain harvest was good, he could change to a duke title in ten years.

In addition, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty likes to play the game of "appreciating the first-level of the people" when he encounters happy things, so the gold content of the title below the fifth level of the Han Dynasty is not high, but fortunately, he is out of the identity of a commoner.

The old man saw that the carriage was gorgeous, and he did not grovel, but just blocked the door and swept everyone one by one, and asked, "Is there a message?" ”

Hearing this, the two soldiers and the coachman took out a wooden sign from the middle of their collars and handed it over, which recorded the mission and identity information of this trip, and had the seal of the imperial doctor.

When it was Han Yan's turn, he instructed the coachman, "Help me get it in the car." ”

"Whoa." The coachman took two steps and pulled out a wooden halberd from the carriage, with a silk letter hanging from the top, which looked like a flag.

When the stable owner saw this thing, he immediately bent down and looked at it respectfully.

This thing is called 棨 [qǐ], which is a special pass for the emperor's relatives and high-ranking officials, and it can not only be eaten and drunk for nothing at the public post station, but also can be requisitioned to travel in a carriage in the stable.

It was getting dark, and there were already a lot of people resting in the stables, most of them were officials who had been promoted and transferred from all over the country and officials who passed by here on business.

Seeing Han Yan enter the door, the people in the stable collectively quieted down, and only dared to glance at the scepter-shaped scepter from the corner of their eyes, and they each ate quietly.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became cold, Han Yan was a little embarrassed, and he also found that the little officials in this stable were afraid of themselves like tigers, and because of their eyes, one of the little officials actually instinctively shrunk his neck, what's the matter, I can die at a glance?

However, this majesty is really cool......
