Princess Hera didn't expect Zhao Ziliang to be unthreatened at all, her eyes flashed, she suddenly smiled, stepped forward and pressed against Zhao Ziliang's chest and abdomen, Zhao Ziliang hurriedly retreated with panic. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?" The coercion failed to come again, which made Zhao Ziliang shocked and angry.
Princess Hera sneered, "The general is brave and invincible, are you still afraid of me as a woman?" As long as the general wants, I'll be yours tonight!" ”
When Zhao Ziliang heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and immediately distanced himself from Princess Hera, this woman is too dangerous, it's not that she is terrible, but her boldness and stupidity are terrifying, such a woman will not only kill herself, but the people around her will also be killed by her! A woman who is too beautiful is a disaster, and a woman who is both beautiful and stupid is even more troublesome, this kind of woman will definitely not be touched!
Zhao Ziliang calmed down and said coldly: "Your Highness, please respect yourself!" You have to figure out your identity, you not only represent the face of the Umayyad Dynasty of the Great Food Country, but also the example of all the women in the world of my Tang Dynasty, you should set up a good image for them, and reckless behavior will bring you great disaster! Your Highness may be tired, Your Highness has never seen me tonight, and I haven't seen Your Highness, Your Highness, please go back! ”
Princess Hera was angry, staring at Zhao Ziliang's beautiful eyes and almost bursting into flames, she turned her head to look at the maid and Zhao Ziliang's guards not far away, and then snorted coldly at Zhao Ziliang: "Hmph, I don't know how to lift!" ”
Watching Princess Hera go away with a few maids, Zhao Ziliang was silent, but his heart was bitter, it was simply a disaster tonight, a woman like Princess Hera has no political wisdom, but this woman has a natural capital and is extremely beautiful, at least among all the women Zhao Ziliang has seen, no one can compare to this woman in terms of beauty, such a woman may not have much success in politics, but if this woman wants to harm people, it is definitely a harm.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Ziliang decided to know that as soon as the army sent by the Anxi Protectorate arrived, he would never have anything to do with her if he handed over this woman, and on the way from now on, he would not let her face her face if he could not meet her, try to avoid her, and not give her a chance to find trouble, and seeing this woman's appearance always made people have evil thoughts, just because this woman's beauty is really not something that mortals can resist. Zhao Ziliang knows that even if he is not a womanizer, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist this **** after staying by this woman's side for a long time, and the best way is to be out of sight.
After resting by the river for two days, Zhao Ziliang led a large army to escort Princess Hera's dowry procession to the north of the Tocharian hinterland.
The team walked for another five days, and the scouts who walked in the front vaguely saw the smoke in front of them, which was someone living in the front, Zhao Ziliang got the report and immediately let the army continue to advance, and he took a few personal soldiers to run to a small hill to observe.
There is a village four or five miles ahead, there are about dozens of families, it is morning, and the people in the village should be making breakfast.
The army stopped outside the village under the order of Zhao Ziliang, thousands of troops came here, and they were all cavalry, the movement was not small, and the people in the village appeared from afar, fearing that they would be slaughtered, so the villagers hid, and only a few exotic faces were dodging and watching within the village walls.
Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang guessed that it was because the arrival of his army frightened the villagers of the village, so he turned his head and shouted, "Where is Li Sheng?" ”
When Li Sheng heard the voice, he immediately stepped forward and said, "General! ”
Zhao Ziliang instructed: "You take the guide to the village and ask, what kind of village is this?" Which town it belongs to, you have to ask clearly, and be careful not to scare the villagers."
"The last general understands!" Li Sheng arched, and led a few soldiers to greet the guide and rode into the village together.
It didn't take long for Li Sheng and his guide to walk out of the village with a few old Sogdian men, who trembled with fear when they saw the thousands of cavalrymen with such a strict and majestic appearance.
Several people came to Zhao Ziliang, and Li Sheng arched his hand and said: "General Qiyu, these people are the oldest and most knowledgeable people in this village, they say that what is the name of this village is Melon Village, it belongs to the jurisdiction of a town called Honey City!" It's eighty miles from the city of Gully, and if we march faster, we'll be there this evening! I don't know if the general has any other questions to ask, you can ask them a few."
"Honey City?" Zhao Ziliang frowned, looked at the guide and asked, "Didn't you say that we were going to the city of Hushi in Qisha Prefecture?" How did you get to a town you hadn't heard of? ”
The guide was quite embarrassed, "The general is angry, the villain hasn't been here for several years, so he is not particularly familiar with the road and direction, but even if he takes the wrong path, the villain believes that he should not deviate too far."
At this time, an old man in the village muttered a few words, Zhao Ziliang and the others could not understand this Sogdian vernacular, so they could only look at the guide, who hurriedly saluted Zhao Ziliang and said: "General, he asked us if we were going to build a city in the west, and he said that the city was built in the northwest of the city in the northwest direction of the city."
"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang thought about it, if this is the case, although the army marched in the direction of the deviation this time, it actually took a shortcut, so that there was no need to protect the city again.
He immediately shouted to the guards behind him: "Take the Kanyu map!" ”
"Yes, General!"
A personal soldier quickly carried a long cylinder to take it off, and took out a map made of sheepskin from the long cylinder, Zhao Ziliang took it and spread it out on the ground, this is a Tocharian map, all of which are written in Chinese, many years ago when Zhao Ziliang was still the governor of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion, he specially sent someone to survey the terrain of the Western Regions, and it took several years to complete the project.
Zhao Ziliang quickly found the location of the city on the map, Zhao Ziliang stretched out his hand and nodded at this location, and then asked a personal soldier to give these old men some money and beat them away.
Zhao Ziliang studied the map and asked the guide, "Have you been here before?" ”
The guide shook his head and said, "The villain has never been here, but as long as he gets to the big town, it is easy to ask for the road!" ”
Zhao Ziliang clicked on the map of the Gully Honey City, and then moved his fingers along an almost straight line all the way up, and said: "The entire Gully Honey City used to belong to my Daqin Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, and it was the state city of the Great Qin Prefecture, from here all the way to the north, there are towns, from the map, each large and small town is not too far apart, we can take this straight line until we reach the Wuhu River, after crossing the Wuhu River, it is the former Gumo Prefecture, and then go two hundred miles to the Tiemen Pass, after passing the Tiemen Pass, the road is easy to walk!" ”
Bai Xiaode and the others nodded and said, "Yes, general, let's follow this route, it will be much closer."
"Okay, give the order to go down, set off immediately, and today we will rush to the city of Gully Honey for the night! Come on, go find Lord Du Chaoyang! ”
"No!"
After receiving the notice, Du Chaoyang rode to Zhao Ziliang's side and arched his hand: "What's the matter with the general?" ”
Zhao Ziliang pointed to the north and said: "Lord Du, the city in front of you is called Gully Honey City, this is the seat of Great Qinzhou established in the previous Gaozong era, if so many of our troops suddenly appear under someone else's city, it will definitely cause panic and hostility, so I hope that you will go to Gully Honey City with the detective detective sentry to contact the city lord of the city first, indicating that we are not hostile!" ”
Du Chaoyang was a little scared and asked, "General, will the city lord be unfavorable to us?" ”
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but be a little amused when he saw Du Chaoyang's appearance, and said: "Lord Du, don't worry, when I led the troops to fight back against the invasion of the Great Food Army last year, I once led the troops to Tocharo, and I also saw most of the city lords of Tocharo, at that time, the city lord of this city should also be among the people who asked to see me, and they should have seen me and heard my name, you don't have to worry at all."
Du Chaoyang was a little relieved when he heard Zhao Ziliang say this, but this kind of thing of coming forward to deal with the tribes along the way was originally his business, and he couldn't shirk it if he wanted to, so he could only follow Xuanwu's detective and detective sentry team to go out of the city first.
After Du Chaoyang and others left, Zhao Ziliang took the army to escort Princess Hera's wedding procession to continue to move forward, and at more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the detective sentry sent someone back to report the news, saying that Du Chaoyang and others immediately played the banner of envoys after arriving in Gully Honey City, and were soon warmly welcomed by the city lord and officials of Gully Honey City, and now Du Chaoyang and the officials of Gully Honey City are waiting outside the city to welcome the army.
When he arrived at the city at five o'clock, Zhao Ziliang finally met the city lord of the city, which was a very fat Sogdian fat man, not tall, weighing at least three hundred catties, walking very slowly, like a crab.
When Zhao Ziliang recalled some of the local chieftains of Tocharian that he had met last year, he vaguely seemed to have an image of this person, because this person was too fat and distinctive, and it was difficult not to remember him.
After some greetings between the two sides, the city lord invited Zhao Ziliang and his party to enter the city to rest, and Zhao Ziliang let the army be stationed outside, and only brought hundreds of cavalry to escort Princess Hera into the city.
The city lord saw the luxurious carriage in the procession, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Ziliang: "General, I heard that the Great Food Kingdom married their Princess Hera to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of your country, did you come this time to take Princess Hera back to China?" ”
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but be a little impressed by this city lord, "Thinking that your place is so deviant, the news is very well-informed!" ”
The city lord laughed and said: "At that time, I only had three hobbies, the first was to like to inquire about news, the second was to like food, and the third was to like beauty!" ”
Speaking of this, the city lord restrained his smile, and then said to Zhao Ziliang with a flattering expression: "General, you also know my problem, I heard that Princess Hera's beauty is unparalleled in the world, I can't take a look at it is a regret in my life, I don't know if the general can be accommodating, I will hold a banquet tonight, invite the general and the princess to my mansion to talk?" ”
Zhao Ziliang's expression changed when he heard this, and his right hand immediately pressed the sword and stared at the fat city lord murderously: "I see that you are cowardly, and you are impatient, right?" I Zhao Ziliang has killed countless people and destroyed countless clans, and there is no shortage of your clan, if you dare to have such a dirty idea, this general will not only let you die without a place to be buried, but also slaughter your entire clan! ”
The city lord was so frightened by Zhao Ziliang's vicious demeanor that he took a few steps back and sat on the ground, his face was extremely pale, and he quickly knelt down: "The general is angry, the anger is angry, the villain should die, there will never be any more thoughts, the general spares his life!" ”
"Humph!" 8
