The snow gradually subsided, and everyone crossed the Puchang Sea to the west. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt the end of the dust, the outline of Loulan City has appeared. Surrounded by the amorous Peacock River, the ancient city of Loulan has shown full vitality in the early spring sunshine.

When Shan Fei looked at the city floating at the end of the horizon, his expression was slightly emotional.

This was originally called the Pompeii of the East by later generations, and what he saw in his time was only the ruins under the sand, but he really didn't expect to see this city alive in front of him one day.

Seeing this, all the businessmen were also excited.

After the night of the horse thief's raid, these people thought that the future was dangerous, and Daddy Ban also significantly strengthened his vigilance, and sent elite cavalry to patrol in four directions every day, without slacking off for a day. I don't want the road to be very peaceful, and there are no horse thieves coming. When they saw that Loulan City was not far away, and the business travelers on the side began to converge like streams from all directions, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled.

"It's been really quiet these days." Shan Fei muttered.

Father Ban was beside him, and when he heard this, he said: "After all, Ban still has a bit of prestige here, if it weren't for the horse thief who didn't open his eyes, he wouldn't have come to attack us and others." Looking around casually, Daddy Ban lowered his voice and said, "Brother Shan, if they really deliberately calculate us as you said, I'm afraid that when they enter the city, it will be the time for them to do it." ”

Solo Fei nodded and didn't wait to say anything, and suddenly the dust rose in front of him, and hundreds of horses rushed in this direction with a whistling sound.

The heartstrings of the merchants who relaxed a little immediately tensed, and they couldn't understand why there were horse thieves so unscrupulous in the vicinity of Loulan City?

Ban's children didn't need to be ordered by Daddy Ban, and there were already sturdy men flashing out on both sides, showing bright steel knives, and the loaded cart quickly formed a clever obstacle to prevent the other party from hitting directly.

The cavalry in front of them was coming aggressively, but seeing that the hidden counterattack of the caravan was really not to be taken lightly, it quickly slowed down and stopped half an arrow away.

Daddy Ban's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "It's strange, it seems to be the driver's horse." ”

In the past few days, Solo Fei has asked Daddy Ban about the situation in the Western Regions, which is his advantage - he will never stop taking the initiative to learn and absorb. Daddy Ban naturally explained this patiently and knowingly. Solo Flying now knows that most of the countries in the Western Regions are within the Tarim Basin, and there are north and south roads within the territory.

From Loulan Shun Tarim south of the Kunlun Mountains to the west, you can go to the southern countries, there are Shache, Khotan two countries are the big, through Shache through the green ridge can reach the place where the Da Yue clan is entrenched, that is, it is to get close to the territory of Afghanistan - the ancient Kushan, Anxi and other empires of the majestic place. If you take the northern road formed by the ridge veins of the Tianshan Mountains, the countries will be large in Shule, and you can reach Dawan, Kangju and other countries through the green mountains.

The north and south roads of the Western Regions were originally the main routes for the Han dynasty to pass through the Western Regions and trade with the empires such as Great Qin, Anxi, and Guishan. At that time, Ban Chao was not only a military wizard, but also very business-minded, he may want to build an Eurasian alliance or something, and even sent his general Gan Ying to the Great Qin Empire - that is, the Rome known to later generations, Gan Ying turned back after arriving in the Persian Gulf.

At that time, Ban Chao pacified all the countries in the north and south and opened up the way of exchange, so the countries of the north and south provinces have always had a friendship with the Han family. The Cheshi was in the northeast of Loulan, very close to the Huns.

The Xiongnu were divided between the north and the south many years ago, and their power was not as good as before, but after all, the Xiongnu still had two brushes, otherwise they would not have been expelled to Europe by Huo Quai. The driver has always had a tradition of hugging his thighs, and the Han dynasty was decadent, and the driver was inevitably unclear with the Huns......

The information described by Daddy Ban flashed in his mind, but Shan Fei remained silent and said in a low voice: "I don't know their intentions for the time being, just wait and see what happens." ”

Daddy Ban secretly screamed ashamed, the single brother of the heart is not old, but the experience is old, and I don't know how to learn this kind of ability that the landslide remains unchanged in the past.

A black-bearded general of the cavalry division in front shouted, "But the caravan of the Ban battalion? The Prince of Drivers has arrived! "The countries of the Western Regions are immersed in Eastern and Western cultures, and many people can use the Central Plains language, but the pronunciation is a little stiff and sounds strange. That will drink is quite imposing, but the word "driver" exits, pours and eats. as if.

Father Ban took more than a dozen Ban children out of the caravan. He was originally called Ban Ying, and the children of the Ban family called him father, and the merchants who knew him well in the Western Regions all politely called the head of the class, and the other party called him by his name, which was obviously not respectful to him.

Father Ban frowned secretly, and said patiently: "I don't know what the prince has to say?" ”

The chariot divisions and the stars surrounded a prince with a beard like the moon. The prince looked older than the prince, and said in a sharp voice: "I don't dare to be a teacher, I just want to invite you into the city to talk about it." This one, please. ”

As soon as the prince's voice fell, a soldier rode his horse and wanted to sandwich Daddy Ban in it.

How are the Ban children willing to give in? Zhu Zi and the others Huo Ran stepped forward to block in front of Daddy Ban, and said coldly: "This is how the prince invited someone?" ”

You must know that Ban Chao was already the existence of a king in the Western Regions, and the monarchs of all countries were respectful to him. Although Ban Chao died, Ban was used to seeing the scene, and secretly thought what can you do as a prince of the driver, do you have to kidnap Ban's father?

The situation became tense in an instant.

The prince's face sank slightly, and he laughed out loud in an instant, "It is said that the Ban clan is very brave, and it is worthy of the reputation when I see it today." It's all scattered. ”

He personally rode his horse to the front of the old man and said with a smile: "The head of the class has seen the outside, and this prince has come this time with a request." ”

Seeing his eyes flickering, how could he not see that this person was making calculations? sneered in his heart, Daddy Ban secretly thought that if you asked for it, it would be like coming to kill the old man, if you don't ask for it, most of it will be cut with a knife?

A smile floated, and Daddy Ban secretly said on guard: "The prince said that he was laughing, how can the old man help the prince?" ”

The prince laughed and said, "The head of the squad will laugh, if this prince doesn't know that you are capable, how can he condescend to invite you?" ”

Shan Fei sighed secretly when he heard this, the old man of the heart class is capable, but the language expression ability of you, the prince, is very doubtful. Lowering the dignity and dignity are all words that others come to praise, and you, the prince, can praise yourself with your own mouth.

Father Ban seemed to be familiar with the prince's demeanor, but said, "The old man really doesn't dare to be it." ”

"You dare to be it."

Seeing that Zhu Zi and the others were retreating under the orders of Daddy Ban, the prince actually rode his horse to Daddy Ban and said, "Squad leader, please!" ”

If you don't invite me, you will enter the city.

Daddy Ban didn't know the prince's intentions for a while, so he walked forward with the prince of the coach. The chariot soldiers were no longer arrogant, and they waited for the caravan to pass and followed behind.

Solo Fei knew that these people seemed respectful, but they were actually escorting them into the city. Daddy Ban also saw this, and couldn't help but look at Shan Fei, seeing that he was calm and calm, he also calmed down.

Loulan City was originally an outpost of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to attack the Western Regions, and the construction of the city was very Central Plains. Today's castle is made of clay, and there are gates on all sides, and the east and west gates are equipped with urn castles to defend against foreign enemies.

Daddy Ban has been in and out of Loulan City many times, so he naturally understands the essence of Loulan City. Seeing that he was about to enter the urn city, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, because he knew that the urn city, as the name suggests, once entering it, it was like entering the urn, and if people were placed high on all sides to fire arrows, he would actually be in an extremely unfavorable situation.

Glancing at the prince of the driver, Daddy Ban said in his heart If you are calculating the old man, the old man will inevitably pull you on your back. Secretly condensing, Daddy Ban calculated the distance between him and the prince of the driver, and pretended to be careless: "By the way, I don't know what the prince asks the old man for?" ”

Prince Cheshi smiled: "Haven't you heard about the princess of the Loulan country?" ”

Daddy Ban's heart was slightly cold.

He knew that this prince of the chariot was called Chi Shi, and he was a stupid figure who even sold himself, so he was not afraid of him, but he was worried about whether this person would be driven to use it as a gun. Listening to the prince of the car master suddenly mention Princess Loulan, Daddy Ban inevitably painted a soul in his heart.

Pretending to be calm, Daddy Ban asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with Princess Loulan?" ”

The prince of Cheshi couldn't hide his surprise, "Isn't Princess Loulan going to recruit relatives?" ”

Solo Fei followed not far away, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but look the prince up and down. He realized that although this kid looked dull, he was dressed very dazzlingly, and there were some gold and jade decorations everywhere on his body, and he looked like he was about to be buried.

"The prince also intends to marry Princess Loulan?" Daddy Ban kind of understood.

The prince of the Cheshi said in his heart that the Banying is cunning and cunning, and he is a character in the Western Regions, but now it seems that he is far inferior to me? Hearing what the old man said, the prince frowned and said, "Naturally, I am here for this, otherwise why go all the way to get here?" ”

Father Ban said after a while: "Then I want to wish the prince his wish come true." He knew that Loulan's choice of a son-in-law was a cover, and he felt that King Loulan's release of this news was not only to cover up the disappearance of Princess Loulan, but also to hide other thoughts. However, these thoughts, he will only say to Shan Fei, as for whether the prince is dead or alive, he can only ask for more blessings.

The prince smiled and said, "The team leader finally said something clear, but you not only have to congratulate me, but also help me." Lowering his voice, the prince pretended to be secret: "Who in the Western Regions doesn't know that the head of the squad speaks with great weight in front of King Loulan...... You've got ...... help."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but get a little closer to Daddy Ban.

Daddy Ban was talking nonsense, but he noticed that everyone had entered the urn city. The soldiers on all sides of the urn city seemed to have not increased as usual. However, whether there is an ambush in the secret, Daddy Ban can't tell. Seeing that the prince of the driver was approaching, how could Father Ban give up such an opportunity, he approached the prince of the driver and whispered: "The prince is so important, the old man is flattered. I wonder if the prince can know a big secret of the princess's marriage? ”

When the prince heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said urgently: "What secret? When he was about to land, Father Ban's eyes were slightly cold, and he suddenly looked at the wall of the urn city in front of him.

Fly solo and be alert earlier.

Someone suddenly flashed out of the city wall, wearing the armor of a Loulan soldier, and jumped down from the city and shouted: "Chi Shi suffers death!" Before the man could utter a shout, an arrow from his bow came at him, but it hit the shoulder of the prince of the chariot division.

There was blood splattering.

The prince screamed and fell off the horse.

What's going on?

Solo Fei and Daddy Ban were surprised at each other, they had been calculating all the way, and had been calculating the enemy's means for a long time, where did they think that as soon as they entered Loulan, this prince of the Cheshi had a plot against it!
