Text 149 The Secret of the Far West (Part II)
Such a beautiful chick is actually married?
Xiao Can had an unbelievable look on his face, and his heart felt as if he had been slashed severely.
"Bang!" Qiao Qiao's reaction was more intense than Xiao Can's, and when she heard that Zhao Ran was going to marry Sarandor as her wife, she slapped her anger on the table, and got up angrily and said, "Hmph, men really don't have a good thing." If this kind of scum is met by Uncle Ben, he will definitely be cut by a thousand cuts! β
"Ahem!"
Xiao Can came back to his senses, coughed lightly twice, and returned Fang Cai's white eyes untouched.
Qiao Qiao glared and said, "Look at what!" Don't forget that you still owe Uncle Ben a condition, beware of Uncle Ben letting you go to the streets in your underwear! β
"Second sister, don't be impulsive, why do you need to bother you with this kind of well-dressed beast? I'll see you once. But we should let the family finish talking first, and even if we want to interject, we have to ask a few of the most critical questions. β
Xiao Can said, and said to Sarando: "Are you married?" β
It would be a pity if this kind of superb little stunner was cheap to others.
"In the eyes of my father, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and Loulan has no right to say no to the Xia royal court at all."
Salando sighed, and then turned his mouth and said: "However, Zhao Ran has been hollowed out by wine all these years. When my father agreed to his request, he was overjoyed to entertain our family, but he drank too much at the banquet and lost his life on the spot. β
"Hang? It's okay, it's okay. β
Xiao Can actually doesn't care whether the little prince is dead or not, only whether the little lady is married or not. At this time, I heard that she was still an original first-hand product, and my heart was extremely comfortable.
It's easy to start if you're single. Otherwise, with Lao Tzu's fame, if he forcibly seizes a married woman, then the classic passage about dog men and women in later generations may not have anything to do with Ximenqing.
Qiao Qiao saw that he was smiling extremely obscenely, and said with a dark face: "What's okay?" β
"I meanβit's good that he hung up early, otherwise I'd have made him regret being a man." Xiao Can explained with a whole face, and said, "Don't interrupt first, let Miss Landuo continue." β
Sarandor smiled helplessly and continued: "As soon as Zhao Ran died, his father was frightened, for fear of bringing ruin to Loulan. Fortunately, a caravan passed through the far west, bringing the news of the unification of the world, and my father finally breathed a sigh of relief. But the good times didn't last long, and the real disaster in Loulan began. β
As she spoke, Saranda frowned, and her tone suddenly became solemn: "Although the Tang Dynasty is strong, the Western Regions are vast and difficult to completely control. The desolate and barren Far West is one of the regions abandoned by the Tang Dynasty. β
"Without restraints, some people's ambitions began to grow, and I don't know when the 'Holy Fire Cult' gradually rose. They took advantage of the lack of knowledge and humble aspirations of the people of the Far West to lure more and more people into joining them and carrying out savage invasions against the surrounding tribes. The history of their fortune is the history of the blood and tears of the surrounding people. β
"Their power is growing, and their ambitions are swelling with it. Gradually, they were no longer willing to live in a corner, and tried in vain to restore the glory of the Xia Kingdom. It's ridiculous that the chaotic times in the west have arrived, but the border city dragoons, who are known as the elite of the Tang Dynasty, are unaware of it, and only regard the Holy Fire Sect as the remnants of the former Xia Kingdom. If you don't stop it in time, when they are full-fledged, Datang will regret it too late. β
There are many tribes in the Western Regions, and there have been disputes for many years, even in the heyday of the Xia Kingdom, it is not monolithic. After the Tang Dynasty dominated the world, it was also powerless to change the laws formed for thousands of years, and changed to the mode of trade and commerce, hoping to gradually enlighten the people's wisdom.
The city of Dima was born in this context.
This approach did have a profound impact on the Western Regions, and the tribes around Dima City became beneficiaries, but the more remote areas needed a gradual process to benefit, so the Far West is still a wild world.
If the Holy Fire Sect is allowed to continue to grow and develop, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not form a prairie fire, and then those tribes who accept sinicization will probably have to bow their heads in the face of absolute power and rejoin the torrent of rebellion against the Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that the twenty years of peace have already smoothed out the edges and corners of the border city patrol. They consider themselves the kings of the Western Regions, and they arrogantly think that no one dares to respond to them.
The Far West? It's just a bunch of blood-drinking savages.
Blind pride often makes people pay a terrible price, but no one is aware of it now.
Regarding all kinds of things in the Western Regions, Xiao Can can be said to know nothing. He didn't have the ambition to be the king, and he didn't bother to pay attention to these things, he just wanted to know how Sarandor got into trouble with the Holy Fire Cult and how to break the situation.
"Miss, although I am very good, before I learn peerless martial arts, I should leave the matter of saving the world to others." Xiao Can pinched his chin and said, "Since the Holy Fire Sect is so arrogant, why do you still want to go against them?" β
"If there is a choice, the slave doesn't want to cause trouble." Sarando's expression darkened, and he said, "If the Holy Fire Sect wants to get involved in the Western Regions, what it lacks most is money. The leader of the Holy Fire Sect coveted the treasures of the summer palace and searched around for news of Zhao Ran, and when he learned that he had traveled thousands of miles to Loulan for the sake of the slave and was buried thereafter, he decided that the slave knew the whereabouts of the treasure. If they are allowed to get the treasure, I am afraid that the entire Western Regions will be rekindled with war, and it will even affect the whole world......"
Xiao Can and Qiao Qiao glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep shock in each other's eyes.
This news is so exciting, no wonder the Holy Fire Cult wants to get her so much, it turns out that she is the key to the treasure.
What careerist can stand the wealth of a country?
Xiao Can said: "So, do you really know where the treasure is?" β
"I know, but I don't know." A trace of confusion flashed in Sarando's eyes, and he said: "In order to please the slaves, he often shows off his wealth after drinking, saying ...... 'The dragon enters the moon lake and contains pearls, and the mysteries are all in the eye'." β
"The dragon enters the moon lake with pearls, and the mysteries are all in the eye......"
Xiao Can muttered and repeated, but he couldn't understand what this sentence was fighting at all. When he read it for the third time, his face suddenly changed, and an indescribable sense of crisis permeated his heart.
This little girl was chased by the Holy Fire Sect all the way from Loulan to Dima City because she was carrying this big secret. The princesses of a country can only flee for their lives, and now that they know this secret, as the head chef of Piaoxiang Academy, wouldn't that be ......
Dead?
Xiao Can, Xiao Can, you really owe it, why do you ask so much? People have long told you in TV dramas that the more you know, the faster you will die, why don't you have a long memory!
Xiao Can secretly scolded himself, and pretended to be calm: "Miss Landuo, my ears are not very good, and I didn't hear what you said." Presumably you're tired too, so my sister and I won't disturb you to restβsister, sister? β
Xiao Can shouted twice, but didn't get any response. Turning his head, Qiao Qiao was not annoyed by his title, but his face was solemn, as if he was making some important decision.
Sarandor smiled sadly: "Young Master Xiao, now do you know why the slave is hiding it from you?" The slave is an ominous person who will only bring disaster to those around him. Since the slave came here, everyone wants to take care of the slave like a family, but the slave has killed the sisters who have been displaced first, and they have provoked such a strong enemy, and the slave is sorry for everyone. β
As she spoke, she actually got up from the bed, bowed to the two of them very solemnly, and then said: "The mystery of these two sentences, the slave has never been able to guess it, but he is afraid that the Holy Fire Sect will have a master to penetrate the world, so he has been fleeing eastward. The slave wanted to die and bury this secret in his heart forever, but thanks to Xiao Gongzi and Sister Qiao Qiao, who sacrificed their lives to save each other several times, if the slave didn't tell the truth again, it would be too ungrateful. However, although the two of them can rest assured, the slave will never let the two of them get into danger because of the slave again. β
Sarando's expression darkened, and he said, "When General Mao Shu wakes up, we will leave the Fragrance Courtyard." β
Compared to the Holy Fire Cult, Piaoxiangyuan is like an ant at the foot of an elephant, in danger of being crushed at any time. In order not to implicate the sisters, Sarando's choice to leave is undoubtedly correct.
From a physiological point of view, it is really difficult to say goodbye to a demon who turns all beings upside down.
Xiao Can said implicitly: "You are a girl, where can you hide?" β
"Datang."
Sarandor smiled slightly and said, "Seeing Dima's prosperity, the slave is really envious. It was the Tang Dynasty that brought wealth to the Western Regions, and it was also a forbidden place for the Holy Fire Sect to set foot in, if the slave could go there alive, he would burn incense and pray for the two benefactors every day, and thank them for their great kindness. β
Xiao Can didn't give up, and said: "You also know that this is a long way to Datang, what if you are cut off by the Holy Fire Sect in the middle of the road, what if you encounter bandits and robbers who arrest you and take you to be the lady of the village?"
Sarandor said sadly: "The slave doesn't want to be displaced, but the slave doesn't have a choice." β
Xiao Can pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, I'm very familiar with Nalan Gu, the lord of Dima City, you tell him these words, and let him send troops to exterminate the Holy Fire Sect." β
"No way!"
Before Sarandor could agree, Jojo stopped him, his tone revealing unmistakable determination.
Being stared at by the two of them suspiciously, Qiao Qiao explained: "That old man is from the Western Regions, not to mention whether he has the ability to exterminate the Demon Sect, do you dare to guarantee that he will firmly stand on the side of the Tang Dynasty?" The stakes are too high for anyone to be trusted. β
Hey, this nervous woman actually knows how to think.
Xiao Can seemed to know her again, and was stunned for a long time before asking, "Then what do you say?" β
"How does Uncle Ben know!"
She glared at Xiao Can like an idiot, and hesitated with her arms for a long time before pointing at the latter's nose and saying, "Dealing with this kind of troublesome matter, that girl in Sanyuan is better than Uncle Ben." However, Uncle Ben warns you that if you dare to fight the idea of three yuan, Uncle Ben will definitely castrate you with his own hands! And she's the sameβ"
Jojo turned to Sarandor and said, "Put your hat on, and don't show a pitiful appearance in front of such a shameless person in the future, you know!" β
"Yes, yes."
Sarandor nodded weakly, confused by Jojo's inexplicable warning.
After saying this, Qiao Qiao still didn't seem to be at ease, stared at Xiao Can with murderous eyes, and said, "If you let Uncle Ben know that you slept with this chick, you know the consequences." β
The temptation of Sarando, who can refuse?
Xiao Can shuddered and asked unwillingly: "A decent gentleman like me, you can rest assured, but what if she sleeps with me?" β
"Praise!"
The jade palm fell, and the circle between the two turned into a pile of sawdust.
Qiao Qiao said word by word: "All, one, like!" β
Xiao Can felt a chill in his lower body, and said with a righteous face: "I have always regarded chastity as life, and I will never let those women succeed easily." Miss Lando, you have to keep your emotions in check, you know? β
"Oh, got it."
Sarandor replied again, aggrieved and wanted to cry.
Qiao Qiao got the answer he wanted, and took a deep look at Xiao Can again. The eyes seemed fierce, but in the deepest part of the amber pupils, there was a faint reluctance.
When will we see each other again?
Bah! This shameless person is not the best!
The two contradictory voices in his mind kept entangled, and Qiao Qiao slowly closed his eyes.
