There is no need for Wang Xiang to ask about rectifying military affairs and pacifying the people, and these things are not difficult for Mora without Ju Wentai's people, not to mention that there is the eldest grandson Wuji to bring people to help.

The Turkic promise to send troops to help was not realized, and Yanqi's resistance was also unexpected by Ju Wentai, he is now in a dilemma, and he has no time to take care of Xizhou under the anxiety, which makes Changsun Wuji and others, who are waiting for Ju Wentai to send troops to Xizhou, breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Gaochang and Yanqi were caught in the war, Xizhou was not disturbed, the people of Xizhou were still very friendly to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang caravans always brought many things they needed, so the appearance of the Han army brought by Zhang Kuishan in Xizhou did not cause any trouble.

Most of the land in Gaochang is a desert land with no grass, which can be regarded as a natural barrier across the border of the Tang Dynasty, and the city wall of Gaochang Wangcheng is more than ten meters high, Ju Wentai has a bit of arrogance and majesty in the Central Plains.

Although the Han people in the Central Plains pay attention to etiquette and religion, to put it bluntly, they like to save face, although they have defeated the countries of the Western Regions many times in history, but as long as these small countries are humble and humble to the Central Plains, most of them will be lenient and do not care about them in general. Moreover, in the eyes of the Han people, the Western Regions is a barbarian land, desolate and poor, far less rich and prosperous than the Central Plains, such a place is useless, so even if the Central Plains army swept the Western Regions, they never thought of occupying it.

Xizhou is a rare piece of paradise in this desert, because there is a Peacock River that runs through the city in Xizhou, which is said to be a branch of the Peacock River during the ancient kingdom of Loulan, of course, this is just a beautiful legend, the ancient kingdom of Loulan has long been buried under the yellow sand.

The Peacock River is the mother river of the people of Xizhou, and it is precisely because of this Peacock River that never dries up that Xizhou has fertile pastures that can be used to graze cattle and sheep, and even learned simple farming methods from the Tang merchants who traveled to and from Xizhou, which can grow some easy-to-grow grains, and the life of the people of Xizhou is much better than that of other cities in Gaochang.

At this time of the year, the people of Xizhou will hold a grand festival celebration on the bank of the Peacock River - the Flowing Water Festival, which is the good wish of the people of Xizhou to hope that the Peacock River will flow forever. Ju Wenya was very interested in such a celebration and took the initiative to bring Wang Xiang out to participate in the celebration.

Wang Xiang was also very curious about the festival celebrations in Xizhou, so he and Li Huiming Tie Dan changed into Xizhou costumes and participated in the festival celebrations on the banks of the Peacock River with Ju Yiya and Aqinu.

When he arrived on the banks of the Peacock River, Wang Xiang found that there were many Han people wearing Xizhou costumes celebrating the festival.

There are not many Han people in Xizhou. Basically, they are all merchants of the Tang Dynasty, because the king of Xizhou treats the Tang caravan well, so it has attracted a lot of Tang businessmen to come, and the status of domestic merchants in the Tang Dynasty is very low, but here the Tang merchants almost have the treatment of the nobles of Xizhou, and many of the Tang merchants even choose to get married and have children in Xizhou, one side of the water and soil and one side of the beauty, this place in Xizhou does raise many beauties, and the Xizhou women who shuttle on the banks of the Peacock River have delicate faces and enchanting bodies. Wang Xiang was already a little dazzled.

The Tang Dynasty can be said to be the most open dynasty in history, but the costumes of the Tang women are comparable to those of the women of the Western Regions...... Tsk, look at the small waist that Yingying holds, the waist of a woman in the Tang Dynasty is not something that can be seen casually.

"Xizhou is really a good place." Li Huiming's fan on the side shook and flew up, and he couldn't help but sigh, this thing completely forgot how he cried bitterly and didn't want to come over.

"Brother Wang, do you still remember the agreement with the younger brother that day?"

Wang Xiang wondered: "Appointment? He didn't remember any agreement with Li Huiming.

Li Hanming approached Wang Xiang's ear and smiled: "Brother Wang forgot?" That day, the younger brother said that he would accompany Brother Wang to see the beauty of Gaochang when he arrived in Gaochang, but he didn't expect to have a chance so soon, hehe. ”

"What are you talking about, cook?" Ju Yiya saw Li Huiming and Wang Xiang whispering, and suddenly became a little curious.

"Ahh It's nothing, my brother Li has good water and soil in Kwasi Prefecture. ”

"Yes, yes. The water and soil are good, the water and soil are good! Hahaha! Li Huiming smiled very meaningfully.

Wang Xiang decided that it was better to stay away from this goods, it was too fucking embarrassing, staring at other girls to see if they were so blatant, and saliva flowed out......

The festival celebrations in Xizhou and the festivals in the Central Plains seem to be different, and everyone is very casual. Many grills were set up on the grass on the banks of the Peacock River, and when the Tang Dynasty took out a jar of grapes and wine from the Western Regions, it was a stranger like Wang Xiang, and when he walked past a grill, someone handed him a cut of barbecue and a big bowl of wine.

All the grills are in a circle, and everyone sits in a circle. There were a few strong young men in the circle who were wrestling, and the screams and cheers of the girls could be heard from time to time.

"What are they doing here?" Wang Xiang found a place to sit down, eat barbecue and drink wine, although the taste is not as delicious as that of Dengxian Tower, but in this atmosphere, there is a unique intoxicating taste.

"The Flowing Water Festival is also the day when our Xizhou girls choose Ah Lang. In Xizhou, most of the girls' family affairs are set during the Flowing Water Festival. ”

After listening to Aqinu's explanation, Wang Xiang finally understood that these guys' hard work was to win the hearts of the girls.

"This is the selection of girls from Xizhou...... Alang's way? Li Hanming pointed to the two shirtless Xizhou guys fighting the field and asked.

"Of course, our Xizhou girls like warriors the most."

"Huh?" Li Hanming's face suddenly fell.

Wang Xiang looked at Li Huiming's appearance and felt a burst of amusement in his heart, and quipped: "What, Brother Li is also going to go up and give it a try?" ”

Li Huiming said with a humble heart: "I ...... I'd better forget it. ”

Ju Yiya pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this: "Don't listen to Aqinu's nonsense, but not all Xizhou girls like that kind of warriors, it's true that Aqinu herself likes warriors." ”

"Princess!" Akinu was rarely shy.

"In addition to warriors, you Han people are also very popular with Xizhou girls, after all, Datang merchants can bring them a better life, and there are some Xizhou girls who like talented people."

"The princess is talking about herself, you said before that if you want to marry, you will marry a talented man who knows how to recite poetry." Akinu finally found a chance to talk back to Juyia.

"When did I say that!" Ju Yiya's face turned red and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "The warrior who is the first in the gladiatorial battle of the Flowing Water Festival can also get the most sumptuous and delicious food at the celebration......"

"Young master, if you win, you can get the most sumptuous and delicious food." Tie Dan, who was sitting behind Wang Xiang and had just finished eating the barbecue, suddenly said with an urn sound.

Wang Xiang glanced at Tie Dan curiously: "Do you want to go up and try it?" ”

Tie Dan nodded innocently, and he was interested in food.

Wang Xiang turned his head to Ju Yiya and asked, "Can the Han people go up to compete?" ”

Ju Yiya nodded: "Yes, yes, but few Han people go up to compete." ”

The reason why few Han people go up to compete is very simple, because most of the Han people in Xizhou are Tang Dynasty merchants, and their physique cannot be compared with the warriors of Xizhou, and they have wealth and do not need to win the favor of girls through this method at all.

"In that case, you can go up and have fun." Wang Xiang said uneasily: "Remember, don't hurt people." ”

With Wang Xiang's consent, Tie Dan smiled innocently, and waited until Tie Dan got up and walked into the circle before Ju Yiya reacted and glanced at Aqinu with a strange face. (To be continued......)
