In the past so many years, Princess Suxi has never felt as happy as this way.

If it weren't for the unknown future that awaited, it would be almost perfect.

Since stepping onto the Great Plains, the weather has become less cold, and the wind has brought warmth. Su Xi was bored in the car, so she simply asked Qi'er to roll up the curtain and look at the scenery all the way.

For this little princess, whether it is the attendant of the Yulin Army or the master of the palace, everyone has a feeling of pity in their hearts.

As a soldier of the Han Dynasty, it is natural that he should be a sword, a horse, a string and a bow, go into battle to fight, and protect the home behind him with blood and pride. How could such a weak woman be allowed to carry such a burden!

But since the founding of the country, these sixty or seventy years have come like this, including their parents, who have also shed blood in northern Xinjiang and shed tears and dust, but there is no way, they just can't win!

The princess and relatives, seeking satisfaction with grievances, is a shame for the soldiers, and it is also a shame for the Han Empire.

Therefore, these Yulin Jun, who were born in Chang'an, were not very angry about the task they received this time. It's just that I was sent by God, so I have to come.

Yuan Zhao rode on a horse, his hands clasped between his sleeves, and the horse was accompanied by the reins. The current plain is very different from later generations, the topography, mountains and valleys, and some places in his memory are very different.

Those famous coal-producing areas are still just grassy wastelands. A place famous for copper, iron, tin and other metal minerals thousands of years later, is now uninhabited for hundreds of miles.

These cornucopias, which can be called buried cornucopias, are still borderlands! It seems that after completing this mission, after going back, it is necessary to plan well, how to quietly take them into your arms and use them for your own use.

"Little Hou Ye, it's a long way, dare to ask what you think?"

When Yuan Zhao turned his head to look when he heard the sound, it was Zhang Qian, who had been following his horse, asking questions with a smile.

It's just a moment of boredom, just looking at the scenery near and far. Hehe! ”

"I see. However, according to my observation, the little marquis seems to be somewhat familiar with the mountains and rivers of this place. Every time I look at some places I pass by, I will look at it for a long time, and the look of nostalgia in my eyes is incomprehensible. Could it be that this north is actually the birthplace of the little marquis? ”

Zhang Qian, as the guard of the Son of Heaven in Changle Palace, knows a lot about the deeds of this Changle Marquis, so he has always had a sense of mystery about Yuan Zhao, which is simply full of curiosity. This time I got the opportunity to walk with him all the way, but I really wanted to communicate with him.

"The old place...... I can't say either. It's just that I wandered here a long time ago, and some things are still in my heart. Yuan Zhao smiled faintly, but didn't elaborate anymore.

"The little marquis is so young, he has been to many places, no wonder he is so good! I have heard people say that if you want to be knowledgeable, in addition to reading more, you also have to travel long distances and learn more about the customs of various places in order to become a person with extraordinary insights. ”

Although Zhang Qian was just a guard, what he wanted to do in his heart was not limited to the deep palace forbidden. It's just that there is no one to teach, so whenever there is a chance, he is never ashamed to ask.

"Reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles can open your mind and the true meaning of life. This is what a wise man once taught me! I'm going to pass it on to you today, and I hope it will be of any benefit. ”

Yuan Zhao looked at Zhang Qian's eyes and said very seriously.

"Ahh Little Hou Ye, this is exactly what Zhang Mou wishes in his life. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope that the little marquis will give you advice! Zhang Qian looked excited, as if he had finally found a homonym and knew what was on his mind.

"Kyushu in the East, the vast land. Beyond Kyushu, there are more countries, but our vision is too short to see that far. The world is not only prosperous with our Han Dynasty, but also many brilliant civilizations in distant places, waiting for us to discover, to communicate, to communicate with each other, to communicate with each other, and to communicate with each other ....... ”

Zhang Qian looked at Yuan Zhao who was talking in surprise, and at this moment, he seemed to have an illusion. The shadow of this person in front of him actually overlapped with the person on the dragon chair in the Hanyuan Hall of Weiyang Palace, the same mind, the same feelings!

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years! Little Hou Ye, Zhang Qian has a reluctant request today, that is, he is only willing to worship under the door, always listen to the teachings, and hope to answer! ”

The young and handsome guard's eyes lit up, his attitude was sincere, and he looked eagerly at the young man in front of him, who was nearly ten years younger than himself, hoping that he would agree.

"Huh? Not to be! How can this work, Brother Zhang ....... ”

Yuan Zhao has a big head for a while, and it is okay to teach Cui Hong Xiaoice martial arts by himself, but if he wants to teach other people's life by himself, it is not a mistake!

"Little Hou Ye, Zhang Qian once heard that the ancients had a word for teachers and a word for teachers. I know that the little marquis has a wonderful chest and a thousand weathers, if I can learn one or two in this life, my wish is enough! Please do not shirk, this matter is settled, and after the northbound end of the return to Chang'an, you must choose a day to worship the teacher! ”

After Zhang Qian finished speaking, he bowed first on the horse, but he was not allowed to push back again.

Yuan Zhao was a little helpless, but finally nodded.

"Well, if there's anything you want to know, you can always ask in the future, but if you know, be sure to give it to you."

Zhang Qian was overjoyed when he saw him agree.

"Little Marquis, in fact, what I like to listen to the most are the stories you told the princess along the way, uh, the extraterritorial customs in those stories, and the strange things in other countries. Hehe! ”

"If you want to know this, when you return to Chang'an, I will sort it out and write it down for you, maybe...... It will help you in the future. ”

"Really? That's great! Little Hou Ye, do you know, my father is a person who likes to travel all over the world, and he once named me the word 'far', hoping that I can go further than him. Later, he took the word of a fortune teller and changed my name, saying that it would help my future, but he didn't know what it would do. Hehe! ”

"Of course, I hope you have a bright future! However, the word 'Qian' is very particular. ”

Zhang Qian was puzzled, because he saw a strange smile on Changle Hou's face.

"Little Hou Ye is someone who asks questions from universities, can you explain it to me?"

Yuan Zhao laughed secretly in his heart, and decided to fool this young man, and when he really traveled to those countries in the Western Regions in the future, he could let him bring some private goods or something for himself, wouldn't it be much more convenient!

"Stay away from your homeland, make contributions outside the Saiwai, look at the Western Regions, and immediately seal the marquis! Mr. Ling Zun, this is a high expectation for you....... ”

Before Yuan Zhao finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone laugh out loud, and then a girl's voice giggled.

"Why is the princess laughing? Am I not right? ”

Yuan Zhao was a little embarrassed, as if the little trick in his heart had been recognized. In fact, he had already seen Su Xi and her maid eavesdropping in the carriage, but he just ignored it.

Zhang Qian looked very solemn, gave another salute to the princess and Yuan Zhao, and immediately pondered the meaning of the words on the side.

"You're talking very profoundly! I don't understand, but I think it's funny to see you pretend to be old-fashioned! Hahaha! ”

"Is that so? Laugh and giggle ....... Yuan Zhao was a little speechless.

"Little Marquis, don't you know, the princess has more laughter these days than in the previous years combined, and thank you for those good stories!"

Qi'er was very grateful to Yuan Zhao next to her, she was really a good person! Otherwise, she really didn't know how to make Su Xi happy along the way.

After Su Xi smiled, her face was a little red, and she couldn't tell whether it was because she was shy or happy.

"So, will you tell me again today? Want to hear ...... that amazing monkey. ”

In the face of such a soft-whispered request, as a big husband, uh, although still a small husband...... Can you refuse? Yuan Zhao nodded, although he had already told the whole way, there were still a few days left in the trip, which was enough to finish the story.

"Anyway, on this day, Wukong protected the master, and the four of them came to a city full of exotic ......."

Hearing Changle Hou tell those wonderful stories again, the marching Yulin knights brought their horses closer, and they sounded clear. This little marquis knows a lot of things, but thanks to him, everyone feels that the fatigue along the way has been alleviated a lot.

"These days, all I hear is the story of the Monkey King subduing demons and eliminating monsters, which is exciting. But why is the beginning of his speech so sad? The ending of that reincarnated Goku and the beautiful fairy...... How nice it would be if I could meet such a great and invincible person in my life, and he was sincere to me! Even if there is only one beginning, even if you can't guess the end, then ...... Also willingly! ”

The carriage continued to move forward, and the wind of the plain rolled up the beaded curtains, ruffling the girl's sideburns, and the sun was setting and the clouds were brilliant. Su Xitou leaned against the small window of the carriage, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the silhouette on horseback, and had infinite reverie ...... in his heart!

In this same glow, in the depths of the grassland, a man named Nie Yi raised his head and finally saw the Shan Yu Dawang Banner at the top of the Golden Tent of the Royal Court.

He was accompanied by two Xiongnu spies dressed as Han Chinese, who had been in contact with him for the past few months.

The Xiongnu royal court is located at the foot of Juxu Mountain, Juxu Mountain, also known as Wolf Mountain, is a holy mountain worshiped by generations of Xiongnu people, and is said to be the birthplace of the totem white wolf king of the Huns.

These two Xiongnu spies were the two small leaders of the secret organization arranged in the Han territory, with a fierce face and quick skills, and they were both good at listening to news and acting secretly.

Since they secretly established relationships with several big families in the land of Yan and Zhao under the planning of the national teacher Zhang Zhongxing, they have collected a lot of useful information for the grassland. And the most valuable of them is undoubtedly the businessman in front of him.

"Mr. Nie, in front of you is the royal court where our Da Dan Yu is located. When you see our Da Dan Yu and help him make a great contribution, don't forget our brother when the time comes. ”

The Huns in Mayi City have already figured out the bottom of the Nie family, which is the largest household in this northern Xinjiang! Since they are willing to help the Huns do things, then they will definitely be able to accomplish this time, so they have taken care of Nie Yi very carefully along the way.

"Needless to say! Of course, I won't forget my friendship with my brothers for a while, maybe Nie will have to ask my brothers to take care of them more in the future, haha! ”

Nie Yi took one of them by the arm, looking very affectionate.

"Mr. Nie, where did you come from? We are just people who walk according to orders, where can we compare to you, who is about to get a big order and be favored? ”

"Alas! You don't know. This time, I helped Da Shan Yu to do things, completely because the officials in the city bullied us too much, and they couldn't bear their anger! After the deed is completed, although you can get the wealth of the city, you must no longer be able to live in the Han land in the future. Therefore, if Nie Mou and his family come to the grassland in the future, he will ask the brothers to take care of him! ”

When the two of them heard what he said, they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again, and said yes, while letting him walk towards the royal court.

Nie Yi finally glanced at the distant sky full of red clouds, straightened his green shirt and robe, and prayed silently in his heart: "I hope God bless my great man, teach this great success, even if you are broken, you will have no regrets!"
