Lang Ri is a strong child, followed Rifle from Hanhai, and slept in the wind along the way, Lang Ri did not cry bitter. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info sometimes can help Laifu take care of the war horse and be a guide, and the sun gets up a little later than Laifu every day, and the time to sleep is also in no particular order with Laifu. With Laifu fed and dressed warmly, his thin body never became stronger.

Leaving Yanqi, he went all the way north to Cheshi Kingdom. But when Laifu arrived in Cheshi Kingdom, he found that the Han envoy Zhang Qian had already left with people, and no one knew where they went. This is the territory of the Xiongnu, and the name of the Han envoy is the same as being a thief, and if you are not careful, you will repeat the mistakes of the last time, so Zhang Qian's whereabouts are extremely secretive.

I finally got some news from a family outside the city. They saw that half a month ago, a group of people in rags drove the carriage out of the West Gate and plunged into the wind and snow, presumably going to Wusun. But if you want to go to Wusun, you have to cross the Alashan Pass, and this kind of weather is undoubtedly no different from looking for death.

Regardless of whether this news is true or not, since Laifu is entrusted by Su Ren, he has to chase it over and take a look. The further west you go, the worse the weather becomes, the lower temperature is secondary, and the most important thing is the high wind. The howling wind swept up the snow and grass clippings in the sky, not only obscuring people's eyes, but also the war horses. Thanks to Laifu's war horse, it is a good horse in the Western Regions, if it is replaced by a Qiang horse or a Xiongnu horse, it can be frozen to death if it can't walk here.

Rifles tied Lang to the horse's back, wrapped it in a fur coat, wrapped the horse's belly in a thick linen cloth, and found a black cloth to cover the horse's head, and then took the strange glasses and was fully armed, and led the horse forward. The snow gets deeper and deeper the farther west, and the snow in some places has reached the thigh, but Laifu has no intention of going back, and still goes west.

When the wind blows strongly, the snow mist in the air rolls up to form a white-haired wind. This kind of wind is the most terrible, because it carries water vapor in it, and after it is blown by him, people and animals will quickly lose temperature, and if they can't find a warm place to keep warm, they will be frozen into ice sculptures, standing in the snow, and waiting for the next year when the snow melts and becomes corpses.

The location of Alashankou is exactly the dividing line between Cheshiguo and Wusun. Located on the Pamirs, the mountains on both sides gather the wind, and there is a risk that any train traveling here in future generations will be blown over, let alone a person. Alashankou is windy all year round, the smallest time is six or seven, now it is the middle of winter, the cold air from the northwest is pouring into the Western Regions from here, and the wind is at least above 12.

Laifu fell a few times, the war horse kept neighing, and no matter how Laifu drove him, he was unwilling to take another step. Panting heavily, Laifu knew that he couldn't go any further, the ability of animals to be dangerous with them was much higher than that of people, and there must be a reason why the war horse was reluctant to move forward.

It was so gray that nothing could be seen except the roar of the wind as it blew out of the pass. Turn the road to the left, and you will vaguely notice a black patch on the left, maybe there is a forest somewhere. Trees are the best thing to keep out the wind, and as long as you get into the forest, the wind can be much less.

Sure enough, without a single cup of tea, a grove appeared. Laifu led the horse into the forest, the forest was not very big, and there were many people in it, and when Laifu came, they looked at him vigilantly one by one. These people were like merchants, with wagons, goods, and guards with weapons. In response to Laifu's approach, the guards did not make any other moves, although they were vigilant.

He stopped next to the group of merchants and took Lang Ri off his horse. After walking for a day, the child sat on the horse and was inactive, and when he got off the horse, his feet were numb, and he fell to the ground. The merchants had tents, but they didn't. But Laifu is not stupid, he heard Su Ren say that there is a kind of house made of ice cubes that is most suitable for winter living, not only will it not melt, but it can also keep warm.

There is no water in this place, there is no ice to be found, but there is a lot of snow. Build a huge snowdrift and hollow out the middle. Picking up some firewood to melt the snow, a single breath turned their boiling water into cold water, and while the water was not frozen into ice and poured on the snowdrift, a hard ice shell was immediately formed outside the snowdrift. With a little embellishment on the inside, the snow nest soon became a house large enough to accommodate Rifle and Langge.

The group of merchants looked strangely at Laifu and tossed a house made of snow all afternoon, and they all shook their heads and laughed. Spread the branches on the ground, put linen cloth on the temple, Rifle and Lang Ri slept on one side, led the horses in and nested on the other side, and made a fire in the middle of the snow nest, and it didn't take long for the whole snow nest to become warm and warm.

Lang was very curious about what Laifu had made, and kept staring at the top of the fire, very worried about whether such a high temperature would melt the snow on the top of the snow nest. Laifu handed Lang Ri a cup of hot water: "Don't look at it, this idea was thought up by a very smart person, he said that if it will be fine, then it will be fine, it is indeed good, it is much better than sleeping in the field." ”

Langri's eyes widened: "Can I see that smart man?" I want to learn from him, and I won't be afraid to go to a distant place in the future! ”

Laifu smiled: "Okay, when we go back, I will find a way to let you worship him as a teacher, he does not have many students, one is the prince of our Han Dynasty, and the other is the nephew of the queen, if you can worship under him, you must be a promising person in the future." ”

The two were chatting in the snow nest when a voice shouted outside, "Dare to ask anyone?" Can I let me tell you about it? ”

Rifle and Lang Ri were stunned. Lang Ri heard that this person's voice was very familiar, Laifu didn't expect that there were still people speaking Chinese in such a remote place? Could it be that those businessmen are all Han Chinese?

"Please come in!"

A lean man burrowed into the snow with his head down. The space inside was already small, and it was half occupied by horses, and when people came in, the snow room was extremely crowded. The fire shone on the face of the visitor, and the beard was so bad that he couldn't see his eyebrows clearly. The hair was even more messy, especially the clothes, which were not only dirty but also smelly, making the freshly warmed snow room immediately uninhabitable.

"Sir, it's you!" Lang Sun immediately cried out and got up and pounced on the comer.

The person who came was also stunned, and when he saw Langri's face, he stroked Langri's head with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you in this place, you and I are indeed destined." ”

Lang Ri has cried into tears, lying in the arms of the person who came and was reluctant to come out, the person who came could only persuade him with good words, and Laifu sat on the side and watched silently. After waiting for a long time and not crying, the man saluted Laifu: "It's abrupt, this son is so ingenious that it is incredible, who would have thought that this house made of snow can actually keep out the cold, if the son doesn't mind, can you teach this method to my entourage, so that they don't get frozen in this ice and snow." ”

Blessing returned the gift: "It's a trivial matter, I listen to Mr. The accent is Han, I don't know ......"

"Oh, hehehe, I am indeed a Han Chinese, I came here to do some business in the Western Regions, how could I be trapped here by the heavy snow, I can't go forward or back, I am really helpless."

"Since you are Han, please sit down, Mr. Bu is also Han."

"Oh? I don't know how Gongzi came here alone, this Western Regions is not a big man, there are horse thieves everywhere, and there are Huns eyeing him, Gongzi must have suffered a lot if he can come here, right? ”

"Hehe, I was entrusted by someone to find someone, and now I am ashamed that people have not found a negative trust."

The person who came saluted again: "The son of the person who values the faith, admire and admire!" ”

Laifu looked at the person who came, and then asked, "Since Mr. is Han and has been trapped here, can you inquire?" When Mr. was stranded here, did he ever see the Han envoy's procession pass through the mountain pass? ”

The person who came was stunned for a moment: "The person that Gongzi is looking for is a Han envoy?" ”

"Exactly!"

"I don't know who wants to find the Han envoy?"

"Han Taifu, General Dangkou, Guannei Hou Su Ren Su Ziheng! I don't know if the Han envoy understands this? ”

"So it's him?" Zhang Qian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Back then, thanks to General Su for saving his next life, I didn't expect that today it was Gongzi who was entrusted by General Su to save his next life, how can I repay Zhang Qian?" ”

Lang Ri looked at Zhang Qian and Laifu, and felt that he had walked into the small shop in Yanqi City a few days ago. He couldn't understand the words of the two people, so he could only obediently pick up a bowl of hot water and hand it to Zhang Qian.

After taking a sip of hot water, Zhang Qian let out a long sigh: "I was ordered to go to the Western Regions, and I have not found anything for two years, I am afraid that no one in the DPRK still remembers me, and it is difficult for General Su to send people to find me, and then he just made an oath in front of His Majesty before leaving, if it is not done this time, he will not return to Chang'an, and he will report to General Su after he goes back, and his kindness is in his heart, and he will repay him if he has the opportunity." ”

Laifu smiled: "This is still waiting for the Han envoy to return to Qianni City and say it to Mr. in person." ”

"Thousand Mud City? General Su in Thousand Mud City? ”

Laifu nodded: "Half a year ago, Mr. Su led more than 100 merchants to carry 200 carts of goods from Yangguan to the west, and has arrived in Qianni City. ”

Zhang Qian sighed: "General Su is talented!" Thinking about how many hardships I, the Han envoy, have endured along the way, it took me two years to get here, and General Su only took half a year to reach Shanshan Country with more than 100 merchants, I might as well do it! ”

Laifu said: "Mr. asked me to come to the Han envoy, is to ask me to invite the Han envoy to Shanshanguo, Mr. is ready to build a city in Yumen, the Han envoy has the deepest understanding of the Western Regions, there is a Han envoy sitting in Yumen, Mr. has no worries, you can let go of the Western Regions, I don't know if the Han envoy is willing to go?" ”

"General Su is going to build a city in Yumen?"

Laifu nodded: "Exactly, when I came, Mr. had already discussed with King Hutu, and it would start after the Han envoy returned, as long as the Yumen City was built, it would become the base for my Han army and horses to explore the Western Regions, and in Mr.'s opinion, Yumen would be another fortress in the west of the Han Dynasty in addition to Yangguan, which was very important!" At that time, if you are not familiar with the Western Regions, you can't do it, so Mr. sent thousands of miles to find the Han envoy! ”

"Hahaha......" Zhang Qian laughed, drank the already cold snow water in the bowl in one gulp, and slammed the bowl on the ground.
