Fan Xiang and Acacia all looked surprised. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The pottery sent by Wu Qi is simple in shape, with a portrait painted on it, with a person with wings on his back, as if descending from the sky with a halo, and countless people on the ground below bowing their heads or cheering.

Due to the limited size of the pottery, the number of people who painted the ground is extremely large, many of them are just curved dots, unable to make people see their faces and costumes, but the person who flies down from the sky is carved vividly, and it seems that even the number of eyebrows can be seen clearly.

The man who fell from the sky looked like he was flying solo.

Although Acacia and Solo Fei are only a few faces, they are deeply impressed by Solo Flying, and when they saw that person thought it was Solo Fly, she knew that what she said was wrong as soon as she spoke, and changed her words: "Why does the character on this pottery look like Shan Gongzi?" ”

She knew that her stepfather had a unique vision, and she would not be wrong to believe that this pottery was the product of a thousand years ago. In this case, the person who fell from the sky in the portrait is a figure from a thousand years ago, and it will not fly solo in any case.

Fan Xiang looked up at Wu Qi, "Where did you get this pottery?" ”

"It was obtained from the hands of the Great Qin people." Wu Qi said in a low voice: "Master Fan, didn't you ask me to investigate the matter of Zoroastrianism, and then I found out that they found those Great Qin people. ”

"Is there really such a group of Great Qin people who have arrived in the Western Regions?" Fan Xiang muttered, seeing Wu Qi nodding, Fan Xiang muttered: "If this is the case, then the legendary story is very likely to be true." ”

Wu Qi nodded repeatedly, "That's how I guessed, so I immediately turned around with the pottery to see Fan Ye." Fan Ye and the lovesick girl were very surprised to see this pottery now, but they didn't know that I was even more surprised when I first saw solo flying. ”

Acacia was puzzled: "When have you ever met Shan Gongzi?" ”

Wu Qi explained: "After I turned to Loulan, I was confronting Shan Fei, Tie Zheng and Qiuziren, and I saw that he was very similar to the flying angel drawn on the pottery, and the surprise in my heart was self-evident. Originally, it is not surprising that there are people in the world who look similar, but the strange thing is that this solo flight also seems to have unfathomable strength. After I left with Solo Fei in Tie Zheng, they only got to know Solo Fei through the pillar......"

Holding the pottery, Wu Qi hesitated: "I feel that this person is extremely unpredictable, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of secrets." Seeing that Fan Xiang was silent, Wu Qi reminded: "I'm afraid Solo Fei didn't mention too much to Fan Ye?" ”

"You see that this person has a lot of secrets, and you can't help but suspect his intentions, so you can wait for him to come to see me after he leaves?" Fan Xiang asked.

Wu Qi did not deny it.

Fan Xiang said slowly: "As long as it is a human being, it will have its own secrets, the difference is whether this secret is harmful to others, if it is only its own privacy, it is not appropriate for us to spy on it." ”

Acacia said on the side: "What the father-in-law said is right, Shan Gongzi didn't mention it, maybe he thinks that this matter has nothing to do with us, my daughter knows that real men have always liked to fight difficulties alone." ”

Wu Qi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It seems that I have the heart of a villain." ”

Acacia Yanran said: "Uncle Wu, my father-in-law and I both know that you are kind enough to remind me to take precautions, but Shan Gongzi may have unpredictable intentions, but he is definitely a frank person." ”

Fan Xiang also nodded and said: "Acacia is right, no matter what secrets the single brother has, he is definitely a trustworthy man." With a slight groan, Fan Xiang said: "Acacia, it's still early now, the single brothers and Tie Zheng should still prepare, you bring this pottery and Wu Qi to meet him, and tell him about the affairs of the Great Qin people." The Flying Angel and the Single Brother are so similar, I don't know if it has anything to do with it, the Single Brother knows more things, maybe it will help him. ”

Acacia excitedly said: "Okay, my daughter will go now." She galloped to her room, and when she came out a moment later, she was in a slight disguise. I don't know what to use to cover her beautiful face, at first glance, Acacia is already an ordinary Loulan people. Picking up the pottery in Wu Qi's hand, Acacia said goodbye to Fan Xiang, and walked out of the courtyard with Wu Qi quickly.

Fan Xiang looked at the back of Acacia leaving, but sighed softly, "This girl...... Since you're only going to be a confidant with a single brother, what are you doing in such a hurry......"

As soon as Acacia came out of the courtyard, he didn't need Wu Qi to lead the way, and walked along the long street in the morning. When she was not far north of the city, she slipped into a long alley, pursed her lips and whistled. A man flashed out at the end of the alley, and when he saw that it was Acacia, he whispered: "Acacia girl, what's the matter?" ”

"Shan Gongzi is here?" Acacia asked, seeing that the man nodded, Acacia said, "Take me to see him." When they entered the courtyard and saw Shan Fei and Tie Zhengfang walking out of the hall, Acacia greeted him and said, "Shan Gongzi." ”

Shan Fei was slightly surprised, and after recognizing Acacia, he couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Why is the Acacia girl dressed like this?" ”

Acacia said a little playfully: "Shan Gongzi doesn't know, if I go out, I won't have too much trouble dressing like this." Father-in-law asked me to show you this. ”

When Shan Fei took the pottery, he looked at it, and his surprise was difficult to hide, "This pottery is at least a thousand years old, why does the person on it look so similar to me?" ”

"You don't know the people on the pottery?" Acacia secretly praised in his heart, but he didn't expect that Solo Fei's vision of looking at antiquities would not let Fan Xiang.

Solo Fei was very funny, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wu Qi was suspicious, but he could see that Solo Fei's expression did not seem to be fake, and finally said: "The character painted on this pottery is the Flying Angel." ”

"Flying Angels?" Solo flew slightly with an eyebrow.

"Shan Gongzi, do you know the Flying Angel?" Acacia asked anxiously.

Shan Fei groaned: "I heard the old man mention it. He definitely doesn't have a bad memory, and he pays attention to these strange things, remembering that on the way to Loulan with Banying, he heard Banying talk about flying angels.

"Mr. Ban said that in ancient times, there were angels with wings on their backs in the Western Regions who fell from the sky and helped the people near Puchang Haizuo clear a shocking disaster, which was called the flying angel by later generations." Shan Fei recalled: "I didn't know much else. ”

Acacia glanced at Wu Qi diligently, indicating that he was not wrong. Wu Qi shook his head secretly, and said in his heart, why does this girl care so much about this kind of thing?

"What the hell is going on with this pottery?" Solo asked.

Acacia hesitated: "This matter is a long story, do you have leisure now?" ”

Tie Zheng replied on the side: "At the moment, there is no need for Brother Shan to go out in person, I have asked the brothers to monitor the movements on the side of Osz. If they make a move, it's not too late for us to do it. ”

Acacia immediately said: "In this case, let's talk about this matter to Shan Gongzi first." She saw that Shan Fei was very careful to observe the pottery, and knew that Shan Fei was very concerned about this matter, so she couldn't help but enthusiastically suggest.

Seeing Shan Fei nodding, Acacia preemptively said: "At the beginning, the Zoroastrian asked Fan for the whereabouts of Yakexi, and Shan Gongzi already knew about it. My father-in-law was only afraid that these Zoroastrians had other plans, so after sending them away, he asked Uncle Wu to keep an eye on the movements of these people. Pointing to Wu Qi, Acacia immediately said after a little introduction: "Uncle Wu followed those Zoroastrians for a long time, and found that they actually worked hard to enter Yumen Pass and arrived at a village in Liangzhou. ”

Shan Fei was puzzled and couldn't understand the relationship, but he still listened patiently to Acacia: "That village is actually full of Great Qin people. ”

There was a slight shock in his heart, and Solo Fei's face changed.

Wu Qi had been paying attention to Shan Fei's expression, and immediately said when he saw this: "What does Shan Gongzi know?" ”

Shan Fei didn't hide it: "As far as I know, it should be a descendant of the soldiers of Great Qin?" ”

Wu Qi was surprised: "Shan Gongzi has seen them? ”

Shan Fei was silent, and he didn't know how to explain for a while, so he could only say vaguely: "I heard what others said." He wasn't lying, he was talking about an archaeological story 2,000 years later – the vanishing Roman legions.

According to historical records, when Chen Tang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, fought against the Xiongnu's Zhizhi Shan Yu and fought a decisive battle against Zhizhi City, he encountered a strange city and a strange infantry.

It is strange to say that the city is because Zhizhi City is an earthen city with a heavy wooden city ring arch outside the city, and according to the technical conditions at that time, the Huns, as a nomadic people, would not build a city like this at all.

It is strange to say that the soldiers are all holding huge human-height shields when they charge, forming a phalanx of fish scales and shouting slogans, and marching in unison.

At that time, the Han army had a very deep understanding of the nomadic people like the Xiongnu, otherwise they would not have won many battles later, forcing the Huns to retreat north and west, but they were still very surprised when they were in Zhizhicheng, because they encountered a team with a completely different style from the Hun cavalry.

However, the other party has a peculiar shape, but it is still inferior to the Han army's iron cavalry. After Chen Tang defeated this peculiar army in one fell swoop, he captured more than 100 people and brought them to the vicinity of Hexi, and those people were resettled by Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty in Lijing County, which was recorded in the history books - Lijing County was set up in the early Han Dynasty and named the county after the country.

This history was excavated by later generations, and finally attracted the attention of Western scholars, because that army clearly had the style of the Roman legions!

The Great Qin Empire in the Han Dynasty was the Rome of the West, and the peculiar army that clashed with Chen Tang was most likely the Roman army.

This thing sounds unbelievable, after all, the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty were still separated by two kingdoms, Anxi and Kushan, although many people knew that the two strongest legions in the world at that time were the Han Iron Cavalry and the Roman Army, but they never thought that the two would have a confrontation. However, there was soon historical research to reveal that Crassus, the commander of the ancient Roman Empire, had led seven legions to invade Anxi, but suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of CarrΓ©, and Crassus was captured and beheaded, but the leader of the first legion, Crassus's eldest son, Publius, led more than 6,000 Roman soldiers to the east and successfully broke through, and has not been known since then. And combined with the history of the Han Dynasty, let the world naturally come to a conclusion that Publius and these people actually fled all the way to the Western Regions, and joined the Xiongnu and had a confrontation with the Han army!

It is surprising that these people did not return to the west, but fled all the way east, and later generations analyzed that because of the siege of the heavy army, these Roman troops had no choice but to flee east.

When Shan Fei heard what Acacia said about the Great Qin people in Liangzhou, he naturally thought of this archaeological history, but how did he explain it to Wu Qi and Acacia?

Diverting the topic, Shan Fei asked, "This pottery was obtained from those Great Qin people?" ”

Wu Qi nodded and said slowly: "Those Great Qin people have settled in Liangzhou for many years, and I heard them say that their ancestors came from thousands of miles away, not only because they fled for their lives, but also because of this pottery. ”

Solo Fei was slightly stunned, and when he was puzzled, Acacia had already revealed the mystery, "To be more precise, they fled to the Western Regions because of the Flying Angel!" ”
