Needless to say, Liya's situation was that she finally stuck to the horse and refused to get down, and the blood stains that had been coagulated could be faintly seen on the pink dress, and even the Clea sisters were swaying after getting off the horse, and their whole body seemed to be torn apart. And although the Han soldiers were equally tired, with stirrups, when running fast, they could stand up as a whole, and their legs could be relaxed a little, and they would not be sharpened.

Seeing Liya's painful appearance, Liu Xin also felt a little unbearable, her own approach might have been a little too much, so she couldn't help but step forward and wanted to help her off the horse. The stubborn Liya glared at him fiercely and insisted on coming down by herself. Liu Xin shook her head helplessly, and had to let Sister Cleya take care of her.

In just one day, although the two sisters could not speak Chinese, they were already able to roughly understand what Liu Xin meant through gestures. In fact, as gladiators, you need not only brute strength, but also courage and wisdom, and if the Clea sisters were not smart enough, they would never be able to live to the present.

The gladiator's endurance is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary people, and the Clea sisters only moved slightly, and their walking posture returned to normal, but their movements were a little slow, but compared to Liya, it was a world of difference.

Although Liya was very strong in front of Liu Xin, she did not refuse the kindness of the two female gladiators, and obediently let them get off the horse with support. Indeed, without their support, Liya would have no way to come down by herself today.

Liu Xin ignored them and walked into the big tent by himself, because there was another battle report coming from the front line, which was the focus of his attention.

At the end of the night, the battle reports continued. Although the battle report was sent in the form of a meteor fast horse, Liu Xin and the others also took an eight-hundred-mile march, so the meteor fast horse couldn't catch up, and these things on the battle report all happened three days ago. Although there is a lag in the news, it is all good news.

The Xianbei army failed to attack Daling, and then attacked Qi County and suffered heavy losses, and had temporarily retreated to Taiyuan, and was unable to go south in a short time.

After Guan Yu got the trebuchet and reinforcements, it only took half a day to conquer Neihuang, Jiang Qi was captured and escorted to Chang'an, and the mountains of grain and grass in Neihuang City were now returned to the Han army.

The 300,000 Yuan infantry returned from Liyang were besieged eighty miles south of Yecheng, and although the camp of Lu Yi was quite orderly, there was no food and grass inside, and there were no rescuers outside, and it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed.

If Liu Xin was in Chang'an at this time, he would definitely order the mobilization of ironclad cavalry to deliver the final blow to the besieged Yuan army. No matter how strong the camp of the Koyi is, it is not a city after all, and it will be powerless under the onslaught of the ironclad cavalry. But Liu Xin is now thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and when his orders reach Chang'an and then pass to the front, maybe the battle will be over.

The only news that made Liu Xin a little worried was that Cao Cao finally moved. Cao Cao did not wave his army north to rescue Yuan Shao, but raised his troops to the west, pointing at Luoyang. This area is the defense area of the Fourth Army, but the main force of the Fourth Army has been transferred to Taiyuan to block the Xianbei army from moving south, and there are only 10,000 soldiers guarding the Tiger Pass, and they have to face Cao Cao's 300,000 army alone. Whether he can hold it or not, Liu Xin really doesn't have much bottom in his heart, so he can only hope for Ma Yun's temporary scheduling.

The next day, Liu Xin was unable to continue the march. It is already very close to the border, and beyond the fortress of Uzberi is Dawan, from which you can continue west to reach Kangju. There are two things he needs to do before the team can go.

The first is to communicate with Dawan, 20,000 troops transited from other people's land, and there was a war between the two sides last year, if you don't communicate in advance, it is likely to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

The second is to send someone to Kangju to learn from Queen Kangju about the situation in Kangju, after all, Cai He has been leaving Kangju for a month. A month is not a long time, but it is not a short time, anything can happen. Rushing in like this is not only a question of whether you can help Queen Kangju, but also the life and death of 20,000 Han soldiers.

Liu Xin brought all the soldiers, and there were no talents engaged in diplomacy. However, before setting off from Chang'an, he sent someone to inform Jia Xu, and the Duhufu sent someone to complete the above two things, all he had to do was wait for news in Wujicheng.

The city has no walls, but it has expanded to a large scale, with four vertical, four horizontal and eight avenues, dividing the whole city into boxy areas, and the roads are lined with shops. In just one year's effort, Wujicheng, which was originally just a small oasis in the desert, now has a permanent population of nearly 100,000. These people include Han Chinese, people from the Western Regions, people from Dawan, Wusun, Kangju and other countries around the Western Regions, and even merchants from Daqin.

In addition to shops, there are also many inns, green houses and taverns in the city. Because there are many caravans from the south to the north, many people have to stay and eat in the city every day, and the merchants who are far away from home also need to have some fun, so whether it is an inn, a tavern or a green house, business is very prosperous.

Wujicheng was not under the jurisdiction of the Shule State, but was governed by the Han people themselves, and all the taxes were owned by the Han court. Therefore, the official post house also opened in the city of Wuji is specially for officials and foreign envoys who come to live on business.

Although the conditions in the post house were much better, Liu Xin and the others did not live in it, but chose to camp outside the city. This is not because it was late when Liu Xin and the others came to Wujicheng, you must know that it is a city that never sleeps now, even in the middle of the night, the market is full of people.

Liu Xin chose to live outside the city, on the one hand, because he didn't want to disturb the people in the city, and on the other hand, he also considered it from the perspective of safety. There are more than 100,000 people in the city, there are all kinds of people, and it is inevitable that there will be spies from other aspects, and they are better during the day, but they must be guarded against at night.

Now, the envoys sent by Jia Xu to Dawan and Kangju have not returned, and Liu Xin can't continue to move forward, so he simply decided to go to Wujicheng in the morning.

Hearing that Liu Xin was going to bring a few guards into the city, Clea and Sister Maria actually said in stiff Chinese together: "Master, I will go too!" ”

Liu Xin couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect their ability to learn languages so strongly, they were comparable to Hou Qinu, if Hou Qinu was here, with a little training for them, maybe they could already communicate in Chinese simply. Seeing the expectant look on the two sisters' faces, Liu Xin couldn't bear to refuse, nodded, and said, "Go see Princess Loulan, if she wants to go, take her with her." ”

Liya followed the team closely along the way, and she really suffered a lot, and Liu Xin also felt a little embarrassed. It is said that shopping is a woman's nature, Liu Xin plans to take her to Wuji City for a walk, I heard that there are good things from all over the world, and even Liu Xin himself wants to see it.

There were only three women in the entire team. The two female gladiators didn't know that Liu Xin had amazing martial arts, they recognized Liu Xin as the master, and they insisted on following Liu Xin's side, even sleeping in the big tent at night.

Of course, Liya can't sleep here, she has a small separate tent next to Liu Xin's big tent. Because of Liu Xin's insistence, she failed to bring the maid with her. Liu Xin made a two-handed plan. While trying to find ways to embarrass her, let her retreat from the difficulty, and return to Mud City as soon as possible. If she insists on following, it is not a bad thing, no matter whether she can encounter the black whirlwind or not, Liu Xin is ready to tell her the truth.

Liu Xin opened the door of the tent and saw Liya lying on her back on her sleeping bag, her two long legs spread wide in a figure-eight shape, and her posture was very indecent.

Hani asked Liya to follow Liu Xin's intentions, and Liu Xin naturally understood. But Liya is only fourteen or fifteen years old, not a few years older than Liu Xin's daughter, and in Liu Xin's eyes, she is treated like a child. ”

Hu women have an open temperament and do not pay attention to these subsections. Liya glanced up at Liu Xin, but didn't make any moves. Instead, Clea hurriedly walked over and picked up a blanket to cover Liya's lower body. Maria used her hands and feet together, and explained to Liu Xin with great effort.

Probably because they are both women, these two female gladiators are very vicious to the guards around Liu Xin, but they are quite protective of Liya. Last night, he helped Liya into the tent and stayed for a while before returning to Liu Xin.

It took a while for Liu Xin to figure out that Liya's two thighs were worn out, and if they were close together, the wound would cause severe pain in the heart, and it was not conducive to the healing of the wound, so Liya could only maintain this indecent posture, and she was wrong to blame just now.

Liu Xin didn't feel a little guilty, she just wanted her to retreat, she didn't want to hurt her like this, she couldn't help but walk over and ask with concern, "How is it?" Have you ever taken medication? ”

It's okay that he didn't ask, but when he asked, Liya's tears flowed for a while, and she soon couldn't cry anymore, and she cried a lot.

Liu Xin said strangely: "Does it hurt?" ”

Liya's cry became louder, and she choked up for a long time: "Da Hong is dead." ”

Liu Xin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is Da Hong?" ”

Liya wiped away her tears and said, "Da Hong has followed me since I was a child, and it is tired to death. ”

Only then did Liu Xin react, it turned out that the chestnut red horse she was riding had died. Although the horses of the Western Regions are tall and powerful, they have strong explosiveness, but they do not have enough stamina, and they can hold on to the finish line after a day and a half of long-distance running.

However, the death of this horse also has a lot to do with Liu Xin. Liu Xin was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, don't cry." When you get to Dawan, I'll ask King Dawan to give you a bloody horse. ”

Liya suddenly sighed and said, "I can't ride a horse, I can't go with you all the time, you can let someone send me back to the mud!" ”
