Zhang Huan was stunned, would he still have an old friend in the Western Regions thousands of miles away? A strong curiosity drove him out of the palace quickly, only to see a young woman in a long purple dress standing on the steps of the palace, with a scarf wrapped around her head.

She smiled like a flower, but it was Jing Niang, Zhang Huan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to meet her here.

"Why are you here?" He asked, hesitantly.

"What? Can't I be here? Jing Niang pulled up her headscarf and tied a knot behind her bun, revealing a snow-white neck and face, and she smiled softly: "Don't forget where I was born?" ”

Zhang Huan also shook his head and smiled, if he can still meet the old man in the Western Regions, who else will it be besides Jing Niang? When he met her in a foreign land, Zhang Huan's heart swelled with a kind of joy of reunion after a long absence, and he hurriedly beckoned, "Come in and sit!" ”

Jing Niang followed him into the palace, she walked as she went, while curiously looking at the most magnificent palace in the legendary Western Regions, walking through the inner hall, she caught a glimpse of the huge ivory bed through the crack in the door, and her heart thumped, but Zhang Huan did not take her into the dormitory, but into a living room next to it, the living room is not big, the floor is covered with a thick Persian carpet, a few red willow circle chairs are placed at random, covered with soft cushions, floor-to-ceiling curtains are drawn, and the walls on both sides have been lit, the light is bright and soft.

"Sit down!" Zhang Huan also calmed down his excitement a little, poured her a cup of tea, Pei Ying told him frankly after talking to Jing Niang, Jing Niang would not give up his career for him, and he also knew that it was impossible between himself and Jing Niang, although there was some regret, but Zhang Huan quickly put the matter down.

Seeing her again after more than half a year, things have changed, and Zhang Huan no longer has the passion and expectations he had before. It's more of an old feeling.

Jing Niang sat down, and she looked at Zhang Huan with mixed feelings. This man who once helped her a lot and was also the man she once wanted to marry, is now the king of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, and she still has an old affection for him, which is like a flower seedling that has sprouted but has not been able to grow for a long time, missing the flowering period and season.

She had already felt Zhang Huan's indifference to her, at this time. She suddenly felt a strong sense of loss in her heart, her long eyelashes drooped, and she stared blankly at the ground without saying a word.

Zhang Huan put the teacup in front of her, and seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, he smiled slightly: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me, can I still help you?" ”

Today, Jingniang came to Zhang Huan to ask for him. But now she didn't want to speak. He shook his head slightly, "It's nothing, I was just passing by here, and when I heard you were there, I came to see you." ”

With that, she stood up. Biting his lip lightly, he said to Zhang Huan: "I feel very depressed here, let's go outside!" ”

Zhang Huan nodded and smiled: "It just so happens that I also want to go out for a walk, see the customs here, let's go together!" ”

The two of them walked out of the palace, and the night outside finally crept down, the night was as cold as water, and the whole city seemed to be shrouded in a layer of green smoke. The two walked slowly side by side on the street. Dozens of pro-soldiers followed from afar, and Jing Niang took a long breath of night mist. There was a hint of sadness in his pale blue eyes.

"I went to Broken Leaves and my hometown of Takuzu City this time, I originally wanted to find memories of the past, but my old house no longer exists, there is no one I know, there is a shadow of the big food everywhere, it is like I have arrived in a strange city that I have never been to, and even the cemetery where my mother is buried has become a big cannibal church, and my roots have been completely lost."

Speaking of this, she instinctively contracted her shoulders, as if the night brought her a chill, at this time, she felt her waist was wrapped by Zhang Huan's strong and warm hand, she couldn't help but look up at him, he was also staring at her, his eyes were full of tenderness and kindness, at this moment, Jing Niang suddenly felt that she was so weak, like a bird that flew back to the nest from a storm, she actually had a feeling of wanting to cry.

She turned around suddenly, buried her head in his arms, and couldn't help but sobbed softly, Zhang Huan held the lonely woman tightly in his arms, caressing her thin shoulders, and he also had a strong desire to protect her.

After a long time, Jing Niang wiped away her tears, leaned closer to his side, and asked him to hug himself tighter, neither of them spoke, Jing Niang snuggled up to him, walking slowly on the street, I don't know how long I walked, Zhang Huan saw the lights on in a wine shop not far ahead, so he laughed in a low voice: "Do you want to have a drink?" ”

Jing Niang snuggled in his arms, a little reluctant, but she didn't want to sweep Zhang Huan's reluctance, she still nodded, Zhang Huan glanced at the soldiers behind her, and ordered them not to follow up, the two entered the wine shop, the wine shop is not big, the furnishings inside are quite old, there is no customer in the store at this time, the shopkeeper behind the counter is dozing off boringly, a girl is wiping the table and chairs, seeing them come in, she immediately greeted them and smiled: "The two customers came by coincidence, the store has just opened two jars of ten years of aging?" ”

Zhang Huan smiled and said, "Okay! Then a pot of wine and a few plates of side dishes. ”

He dragged Jing Niang to a private room and sat down, the girl quickly served them wine and food, and went out with fun, Jing Niang stretched out her jade fingers and picked up the wine jug, she poured Zhang Huan a glass of wine, and filled a glass for herself.

She picked up her wine glass and said with a smile: "Zhang Dudu is crisscrossing the Western Regions, the little woman likes it very much, I toast you." ”

Zhang Huan also picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "In the future, Anxi will return to the Tang Dynasty, and I will vigorously promote the trade between Anxi and the Central Plains. ”

Jing Niang was overjoyed, one of the main purposes of her coming to Zhang Huan today was to obtain a trade license in Anxi, if Zhang Huan gave her support, she would not be afraid of the embarrassment of the government along the way, she drank the glass of wine, stared at Zhang Huan and said: "You promised me, can you regret it?" ”

Zhang Huan also drank all the wine in the cup, he smiled faintly and said: "If I can't even do this little thing, and talk about the Western Regions in vain, even if you let it go, the capital is not enough, the manpower is not enough, I can help you, I hope that one day, you can become my first giant businessman in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Zhang Huan's words made Jing Niang's weak heart gradually strengthen again, and her face returned to her former self-confidence and look, laughing, and telling Zhang Huan what she had seen and heard all the way west.

Zhang Huan listened attentively, he also wanted to know the situation west of the Green Ridge, unconsciously, they had drunk three pots of wine in a row, Zhang Huan had gradually had a sense of wine in his heart, he picked up another glass of wine, looked at this small wine shop, and couldn't help but smile at Jing Niang: "When I saw this small wine shop, I remembered the orchid who had just met you." ”

"you!" Jing Niang raised her fist and punched him the shoulder, and said coquettishly: "What do you call getting by?" When will I get by? ”

Zhang Huan smiled, pinched his throat and said in her tone: "Jing Niang only enjoys today and never thinks about the future." ”

He squinted at her and smiled, "Who said this, I don't know?" ”

"You bad guy, you remember those words." Jing Niang was no longer strong enough to drink, so she simply fell into Zhang Huan's arms and laughed coquettishly.

Zhang Huan looked at the beautiful and mature woman in front of him, looking at her skin as smooth as snow, and the most primitive ** in his heart began to burn quietly.

He lowered his head and kissed her cherry red lips, Jing Niang's body shook, but soon it slowly softened, she put her arms around his neck and kissed him back, Zhang Huan's hand wandered wantonly on her plump and slender body, for a long time, her lips parted, her face was unusually delicate, and her watery eyes were shy and welcome, she lightly tapped Zhang Huan's nose and whispered: "If you get too close, you will be pricked by wild flowers, but if you are too far away, you can't see it, not far away, but the most beautiful, Childe remember?" ”

Zhang Huan nodded, "I still remember, since you don't want to marry me as a concubine, then you will be my woman from now on!" ”

He picked her up, gently sucked on her earlobe, and said, "Just start tonight." ”

In the palace of the king of Qiuzi, on the huge ivory bed, Jing Niang moaned tactfully, catering to his stormy impact with all her heart, she screamed, pinching his back desperately, her hunger and thirst for many years exploded at this moment, she seemed to be a small boat lost in the storm, let the raging sea throw her to the top of the waves, and fell into the abyss, she was completely intoxicated, she was brought into the fairyland by Zhang Huan again and again, at this moment, she would rather die under him.

The storm finally passed, the sea was calm again, Jing Niang lay on Ailang's body, black hair like a waterfall was scattered on his chest, she stroked his strong chest and broad arms, for a long time, she sighed happily, "Where have you been all these years?" ”

Zhang Huan couldn't let go of her smooth back and plump soft **, and after listening to her question, he smiled in her ear: "All these years, I have been by your side." ”
