The Son of Heaven stood in the corridor of the Xuanshu Hall of Weiyang Palace, watching Zheng come in small steps, crooked his mouth, and smiled silently. When Zheng Shi was about to walk in front of him, he stretched out his hand and supported Zheng Shi, who was about to salute.

"Zheng Jun, do you know why I transferred you back to do the right internal history?"

Zheng hesitated for a moment: "I heard that it is the capital that is powerful and powerful, and it is quite difficult to govern. ”

The Son of Heaven nodded and sighed. "The way of Huang Lao, rest with the people. Now that the tiger is in trouble, there are still people who hold on to Huang Lao's way, and I have no choice but to ask you, the hero, to come back and rectify them. ”

Zheng was a little uneasy at the time. The Son of Heaven calls him a hero, which is not a good phenomenon. He heard that although the young son of heaven himself was quite chivalrous, he did not like those powerful and powerful people who boasted of their chivalrous spirit.

"The minister will not dare to live up to His Majesty's expectations, and he will do his best to relieve His Majesty's worries."

"I believe in your abilities." The Son of Heaven turned around and walked into the hall and motioned for Zheng to be given a seat. Guo Sheren took a seat and placed it opposite the Son of Heaven. Zheng sat down at that time, holding his breath, not daring to be careless. The Son of Heaven glanced at him and said, "How is Jiangdu?" Are those Dongou people still safe? ”

Zheng was prepared and shook his head. "Your Majesty, although the land annexation of Guangling is not as good as that of the Central Plains, it is also quite serious. The minister counted the land registers, and the land obtained was far from enough to settle the Dongou people, and the Dongou people had no livelihood, so they inevitably did some stealing and robbing, and there were many conflicts with the locals. The minister was also quite laborious, but fortunately, with the cooperation of King Jiangdu, there was no major incident. ”

The Son of Heaven raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zheng Shi. He knew that Zheng said this easily, but in fact, he didn't know how complicated the situation was. It was so troublesome that Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, came forward to assist. I'm afraid there have been bloodshed. His brother he knew. Liu Fei's departure will definitely not be good. Besides, Zheng just said at the time that there was no big incident. The implication is that there is still something to do.

"Do you have a good solution?"

Zheng bowed down at that time: "The migrants will make some land and settle the Dongou people." In addition, after the internal migration of the Dongou people, the Minyue people occupied their homeland, and there were more places adjacent to Huiji, and the border situation in Huiji County was very tense, and the membership of the migrants could enhance the military resources and strength of the membership. ”

The Son of Heaven frowned. "Liu Ju sealed Lou Hou. Minyue people still disturb the border? ”

Zheng shook his head at the time. "If you win, you will be beneficial, and if you lose, you will not come."

The Son of Heaven didn't say anything, but he regretted it in his heart. He glanced at Wei Qing, who was standing outside the hall, and remembered Liang Xiao's suggestion. At that time, if he had been tougher and adopted Liang Xiao's suggestion, the migrants would not have had the trouble they have today. Could it be that after turning around, in the end, the people between the Jianghuai and Huai will be migrated to Huiji?

Thinking of Liang Xiao, the Son of Heaven was in a better mood.

"The Liang Xiao you recommended is quite bold. Do you know where he is now? He went to the Western Regions. There were only eight people with him. Hahaha......"

Zheng was taken aback. Dare to go to the Western Regions with only eight people? What can you do when you go?

Seeing that Zheng looked very surprised at that time, the Son of Heaven also felt a little out of shape. He waved his sleeve in disguise. "He has too few people. It's hard to say whether you can reach the Western Regions safely. Even if it does, it is impossible to guess what can be done. However, as long as he can come back alive and tell me what the Western Regions is like, I will be satisfied. This is the first time that an envoy from my Han has set foot in the Western Regions. ”

Zheng agreed at that time. The conditions are limited, and there is probably only so much that can be counted on Liang Xiao.

――

After more than half a month's trek, Liang Xiao walked into Guishan City.

Along the way, Liang Xiao passed through more than a dozen cities, large and small, and was warmly received without exception, causing quite a stir everywhere he went. The news of the Han envoy's arrival in Dawan soon spread throughout the city, and the rumors of the Han people's clothes flew in all directions like birds.

The farther west you go, the fewer Han Chinese there are, while the more and more merchants come from the West. Guo Wenbin's language was not sufficient, and the elder Andrew took over the task of translator, and he used his proficiency in Greek to communicate with these people and introduce them to Liang Xiao and his party. And the silk robes on their bodies have also aroused the envy of countless merchants, who are eager to peel these robes off them.

If it were to be shipped back to Greece, it would be a lot of money. You must know that even if they are rich in Western countries, they may not be able to use silk to make the whole dress, and these sheep herders actually use silk to make war robes, which is really too much.

From the mouths of these merchants, Liang Xiao received a very important news: a few years ago, the Republic of Macedonia rebelled against the Romans, but was defeated by the Romans, and Macedonia became a Roman province. Ancient Greece had perished as an independent kingdom.

Hearing the news, old Andrew and the others were sad for several days.

Upon learning of the arrival of the Han envoy, the king of Dawan sent the deputy king Wu Cai. He was about forty years old, and although he had the same deep nose and high eyes, he was elegant-looking, and he also learned a few words of Chinese in order to meet Liang Xiao, and he was very enthusiastic.

At the post house, Liang Xiao and Yu Cai officially met and had talks.

Liang Xiao sent a box of brocade to Yu Cai. This is a generous gift, and Wu Cai didn't dare to accept it, until Liang Xiao repeatedly promised that there was still enough brocade for King Dawan and would not embarrass him, so Mo Cai accepted it tremblingly.

"Dare to ask your envoy, does the Han really have silk all over the ground?"

Liang Xiao smiled slightly: "I heard that Dawan gave birth to good horses, but I didn't see good horses all over the street along the way." ”

Wei Cai laughed, he understood what Liang Xiao meant. "But why do all the envoys' retinue wear brocade robes?"

Liang Xiao sighed and was silent for a moment. "Don't hide it from the vice-king, there is a reason for this. I came from the Han Dynasty, crossed the steppe controlled by the Huns, and was pursued and killed by the evil king. In order to be able to reach Dawan, I had to throw away all my luggage, including the gift that my Han Emperor gave to King Dawan. ”

Wei Cai's brows furrowed. After hearing that the Han envoys arrived, the magnates of the Dawan Kingdom had different opinions, most of them heard about the wealth of the Han and hoped to establish contact with the Han, while a small number of them held an opposing view, because they thought that the Han was too far away, and there was a powerful Xiongnu in the middle, and it was impossible to establish contact. They further doubted Liang Xiao's authenticity, believing him to be an impersonated messenger.

When Mo Cai came to see Liang Xiao, an important task was to distinguish between the true and the false. If Liang Xiao has a problem, he can't let him see King Dawan. When necessary, Liang Xiao was even given to the Huns, so as not to anger Dawan with the Huns.

At this moment, I heard that Liang Xiao was chased and killed by the Huns, and threw away everything because of it, and the embarrassment at that time can be imagined. Wei Cai was already muttering in his heart, and the hesitation in his eyes exceeded the joy in his eyes.

"God bless the Great Han, I killed the father and son of the Evil King, and came to Dawan safely. I didn't have anything to do, so I couldn't meet King Dawan in person, so I discussed with my Han merchant and borrowed some money to buy clothes and gifts. Liang Xiao smiled: "No, I can't show my respect for King Dawan." ”

As he spoke, Liang Xiao asked people to take the heads and armor of the father and son of the Evil King and put them in front of Wei Cai.

Wei Cai looked at it carefully, his eyes flashing. He didn't believe Liang Xiao's explanation, just a few people, thousands of miles, it was mysterious enough, and he actually killed the father and son of the evil king? How powerful is the existence of the Huns, the Yueshi people have been beaten all over the ground by the Huns, and a few Han people can kill the evil king?

Who knows whose two rotten and inhumanoid heads are. Although these two sets of armor are luxurious, since the Han people are rich, it should not be difficult to build two sets of armor.

"Your Honorable Envoy...... Is there anything else? ”

Looking at Mo Cai's face and listening to Mo Cai's words, Liang Xiao knew that Wu Cai didn't believe his words. He smiled. "Isn't that enough?"

Wei Cai shook his head awkwardly. "The Huns are too powerful, and with these two sets of armor and heads, I am afraid that they will not be able to convince the bravery of the noble envoys. If you have any other evidence, then you might as well let me take a look at it, and I can repay the king. ”

Liang Xiao frowned. It's a bit of a problem, and he has other evidence. Could it be that after so much scheming, I finally came to Guishan City, but I couldn't see King Dawan?

It seems that my story is indeed too bizarre, even more bizarre than Zhang Qian's story, which scares Dawan people.

He grabbed his waist and touched the short knife in his belt. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he pulled out his short knife.

"Vice King, this short knife was also taken from Gulu Fox's body, and it is said to be made by Tiantie. I don't think there are many such swords, and there are only a handful of people who make them. I wonder if the vice king knows where there are craftsmen who can make heavenly iron? If I can find the craftsman who made this sword, he should know where it went, and maybe it will prove my experience. ”

Wei Cai took the short knife, glanced at it, and nodded. "What your envoy said is very true, if this knife is really made of heavenly iron, it should not be difficult to check. If your envoy believes me, please allow me to take this knife away and inquire about it. If you're lucky enough to find that craftsman, it's even better. ”

Liang Xiao laughed. "I and the vice-king are familiar at first sight, how can I not believe the vice-king? There is Vice King Lao in this matter, and I am waiting for Vice Wang Jiayin. By the way, this set of oracle bones of Gulu Fox is also rare, and it may also be from the hands of famous craftsmen, and the vice king will take it away with him. ”

Wei Cai nodded again and again, and took the short knife and Gulu Fox's Greek-style armor belt away. Liang Xiao and the others stayed in the post house for the time being, waiting for the results of Wei Cai's visit.

Three days later, Wei Cai arrived at the post house with oracle bones and a short knife, and he told Liang Xiao a good news and a bad news.

The good news was that he had found the craftsman who made the short knife and the oracle bone, and although the two craftsmen were not sure that the item had fallen into Gulu Fox's hands, they had both identified the person who had bought the two items, and Wei Cai was looking for the two men to see who they had sold them to.

The bad news is that Wusun's envoy has also come to Dawan, and is following the footsteps of Liang Xiao and others to Guishan City.
