Chapter 223 It's better to return home early
Maybe it was because Gou Shen was suspicious, how could he feel that Wei Heyi, the envoy of the Han Dynasty in Wusun State, had a lot of things to hide from Ren Chang, and these things were inextricably linked to him.
But what are they trying to hide?
Wei Heyi and Ren Changcai came to Chigu City, the capital of Wusun, not long after they came from Chang'an, and they were doing things in a secret, what was they doing this for?
Wei Heyi snorted: "The captain came from afar, the journey is tiring, and he has a good rest today." ”
"As for Princess Qiqige, Wei, naturally informed it early, so that you can have lovers to meet each other."
Ren Chang listened to Wei Heyi's words, so he let people have a banquet, and Gou Shen had a smile on his face: "So good!" Dunhuang Chen Taishou sent a few people to Chigu City with the captain of the school, it was very hard, and asked Wei Sima to be kind. ”
So Ren Chang asked people to entertain the four soldiers sent by Chen Pu in the side room.
After hitting this fork and delaying for a while, Wei Heyi obviously figured out how to talk to Gou Shen: "Since the captain wants to see Princess Wusun, it is naturally no problem, but the princess must have had a lot of things to do recently, and she is very busy, so she will try her best to convey it." ”
"The captain is in Chigu City, just relax to your heart's content, everything is arranged by someone Wei."
Now that Wei Heyi has agreed, Gou Shen will not ask any more, now that it is late, he is not very happy to eat in the face of the table full of food in the Western Regions, it is a tyrannical thing.
Although he can't get used to Wei Heyi and Ren Chang's attitude towards him, there is no need for Gou Shen to get along with his belly.
Gou Shen ate and drank nonsense, and he didn't talk to Wei Heyi Renchang much, anyway, he couldn't get any useful content from the mouths of these two people.
Gou Shen has been like this since. On the contrary, Wei Heyi and Ren Chang were a little reluctant.
In order to avoid cold reception. Wei Heyi and Ren Chang said some strange things one after another. There are also topics that belong to men and men.
These are nothing more than where the women are coquettish, where the women meet are full of charms, how comfortable the men are served, and so on, and then, Ren Chang and Wei Heyi's expressions are like "you know".
Wei Heyi and Ren Chang had already drunk wine from the Wusun Mad King Nimi, and Gou Shenxin said that these two people might really be too strong to drink, and they always wanted Gou Shen to understand the unspeakable, but in fact, they had already done it. But he lost that reserved "will".
Although the wine depends on the character, Wei Heyi and Ren Chang have already drunk it in the mud, and they can still drink it with Gou ginseng, which can be seen to be tested for a long time, but it is really difficult for them to cover up their desires and stop talking.
However, the young captain Gou Shen was not strong enough to drink, and he got drunk early.
Ren Chang saw that Gou Shen was sleeping drunk in the middle of the banquet, so he went over to pat Gou Shen's body, but Gou Shen did not react at all. Wei Heyi motioned for someone to attach Gou Shen to the room to rest, and at the same time asked people to serve the four soldiers. I let out a long breath.
Ren Chang smiled and said, "Sima, it's okay now, I don't have to find an orchid to warm the bed for the captain......
Ren Chang said, but Wei Heyi shook his head lightly, Ren Chang shut up, and the two left the lobby one after the other.
Where can Gou Shen get drunk? How could he sleep?
But in Akatani Castle, I didn't know the place well, and I couldn't do anything with the black light, so I could only meditate for a while, breathe for a while, breathe for a while, and then close my eyes and fall asleep.
Early the next morning, Gou Shen got up to see Wei Heyi, and the envoy who received him yesterday replied to Gou Shen: "Wei Sima and Ren Deputy Envoy have left early in the morning. ”
Wei Heyi and Ren Chang were envoys sent by the Han Dynasty in Wusun, and although they had full authority to make friends with Wusun, those were only limited to documents and ordinary things.
In the Western Regions, the one who really holds the power to dispose of the affairs of various countries is the Protector of the Western Regions.
The location of the capital is located in Wulei Castle, which is also the former site of the Luntai Kingdom.
The protector of the Western Regions is the highest military and political chief sent by the Great Han State to the garrison in the Western Regions, and the position of the protector is equivalent to the county guard, and the annual salary is 2,000 stone of grain, which is the same as Gou Shen.
But in fact, at the beginning, the position of Du Hu was only equivalent to a guard captain in a county government to manage the security of the army, and later Liu Xun, the Son of Heaven, gradually further expanded the power of Du Hu.
The subordinate officers of the capital protection include one deputy lieutenant and one lieutenant; Sima, Hou, and Qianren are two each.
The duty of the protector is to govern all kinds of affairs in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, issue the orders of the Han court, and is the political, economic, cultural and military center of the Western Regions.
These 36 countries are big and small, the big ones are like Wusun, Qiuzi, Xiqiang, and the small ones are basically the same as the city, which can be described as a small land, and they have their own affairs.
Speaking of which, the existence of the capital protection is to maintain the trade and trade of the Western Regions Corridor and the Western Regions countries, as well as the personal safety of the Han people, in fact, it is no different from the "Western Regions Police" who maintain peace in the countries of the Western Regions.
It can be said that if Gou Shen really goes to the land of Xiqiang in the future, compared with the Western Regions Metropolitan Protector, in addition to being more inclined to militarized management, the captain is equal to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protector, but the area of responsibility is different.
And Wei Heyi and Ren Chang, the two envoys of the Wusun Kingdom, are not only responsible for the Chang'an court, but also report to the Western Regions Protector, which can be regarded as the subordinate officials of Gou Shen.
So, Gou Shen, the captain of the Qiang Guard, stayed in the embassy of the Han Dynasty in Wusun last night, and Wei Heyi, a Wei Sima with a rank of a thousand stones, didn't come to pay homage to Gou Shen, the "Shangguan", in the morning, didn't come to ask for warmth, and didn't know where to go?
This Wei Heyi did this, isn't it just that he doesn't understand the world? It's even more rude.
Gou Shen was silent and asked the envoy to prepare food.
One will invite Gou Shen to sit at the table, Gou Shen looked, it was very rich, but it was only a table of food, after sitting down, he said: "Prepare food for four more people and send it to you, and the captain of this school will share the food with the people who came with Dunhuang." ”
Cheng was obviously stunned, but Gou Shen had to do as he was told.
While arranging, he thought in his heart that this captain was really a military style, and he ate at the same table with his soldiers, so he almost didn't sleep in the same bed.
After eating, Wei Heyi and Ren Chang still didn't come back, Gou Shen got up and walked outside, and the envoy only followed.
Outside the door. Gou Shen suddenly smiled at Cheng Cheng: "Who is the surname of the honorable driver?" ”
Cheng hurriedly replied: "Don't worry about the captain." Mark Han Li. Chang'an Duling County people's. ”
"Duling County?"
"Exactly."
"How long has it been since Han Envoy Cheng arrived in Wusun?"
Han Li didn't know why this young lieutenant was suddenly interested in him, but he couldn't help but answer carefully: "Captain, the lower official has been in Wusun Chigu City, and it has been two years and three months. ”
"Oh."
Gou Shen nodded: "All over the Western Regions, the governors, envoys, and officials are on duty once every three years, and you should also move places." ”
Han Li didn't know what he meant. Only bow your head.
Gou Shen looked at the street scene of Chigu City, and said to himself: "The current county order of Duling County should be Duan Huizong, well, it's him, Han Yuancheng, is there anyone else in the family?" ”
"If something happens in Chang'an, the bile tube said to a certain person, that section of the county order is good friends with Du Taichang's younger brother Du Zixia, and he has a good relationship with Gu Ziyun, the son of Sima of the Western Regions Tunbing Valley, and he still gives him a certain face."
Du Taichang is Du Qin, Du Zixia's elder brother, Du Xuan. Gu Sima of the Western Regions Tunbing Gu is Gu Yong's father Gu Ji.
Han Li still didn't know why Lu Dao Gou Shen said this to himself, but the Duan Huizong that Gou Shen said was indeed the county order of Duling County. That's true.
Gou Shen continued: "Bian Sai is lonely, you are outside, there are many omissions at home, you must not take good care of it, the captain of this school has never been to Wusun before, but now when I see it, I have a lot of thoughts in my heart. ”
"Dreaming of the border city and the moon, thinking about the old garden building, although this place is happy...... It's better to go home early. ”
Gou Shen paused as he spoke, looked at Han Li and said, "You don't have to follow, you and the four of them will walk around this Red Valley City together." ”
After Gou Shen finished speaking, he walked straight away.
Han Li stood in front of the gate and watched Gou Shen disappear before returning to the hall.
Wusun's location at that time was in the western half of the present-day Ili River valley and the northern foothills of the Tien Shan Mountains, and southeast of Lake Balkhash.
The capital of the Usun Kingdom, Akiti Castle, was in the eastern part of Lake Issyk-Kul in present-day Kyrgyzstan.
The climate around Akiti Castle is warm and humid, with abundant precipitation, and now it is a summer morning, the sun is not too strong, and the streets are full of exotic people, shouting one after another, noisy, and the cattle, sheep and camels are rubbing shoulders with people.
Gou Shen walked and stopped, saw something strange, looked at it, thought it was interesting, bought it, and bargained, and after a while, the four people sent by Chen Pu were full of all kinds of items in their hands, and there was a parrot that the scholar was talking to.
Gou Shen's hands have never been empty, there are always snacks in his hands, and his mouth can't stop making a snorting sound, which makes people feel like he is coming to the street for pastime at first glance.
The morning swayed like this, and at noon, Gou Shen saw a huge flagpole standing in front of the door of a house from a distance, and the banners on it were waving in the wind, which was very conspicuous in the sun.
Gou Shen was stunned for a moment, clapped his hands and smiled: "Let's go!" Now you can find a place to rest! ”
The four entourages looked up and saw a few big characters on the banner - Yuelai Inn.
There were really a lot of people in this Yuelai Inn, and before Gou Shen entered the door, he was greeted by a person with a white face, a high nose and yellow eyes, nodding at Gou Shen and saying, "Hello guest!" Is it to eat or drink? ”
"We have everything here, please go inside, and the villain will cook a fresh tea cake from the Yang family in Chang'an for the master first......"
Gou Shen instantly had the urge to look up and smile, but he didn't expect to see the Yuelai Inn in the Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions, and said that this Yuelai Inn is really worthy of being a place where heroes from all over the world flock to meet.
In the past, when I watched TV and movies, as long as there was an inn, the name was Yuelai nine times out of ten, but I didn't expect to meet one in Akiti Castle, which was really interesting.
Moreover, the "shopkeeper" who greeted him was still a Hu person, and I don't know if their business model is chain or sole proprietorship?
Seeing that the tall white-skinned man spoke Chinese so smoothly, he had the intention to tease him, so he asked, "Yuelai Inn?" It is a pleasure to have friends from afar! ”
This Hu man who was engaged in reception obviously didn't know about Confucius's ridicule about Confucius, and Gou Shen said: "Well, your Chang'an tea cakes, are they not authentic from Yang Daguan's family?" ”
Unexpectedly, this Hu man nodded again and again: "The master is really high-minded!" The villain's tea here is really Chang'an Yang family, absolutely Tong Su is not bullied, this Yang family is very good in Chang'an, the business is big, the officials are also big, their family is old and young up and down are red people in front of the Han Emperor, you have to be spoiled......"
Yang Yun has been idle at home for several months, and Gou Shen suddenly lost his amusing mood with this rapping shopkeeper, sat down inside, and casually said that the best dishes here are the best wine, and then he looked at the sunshine outside and said silently.
The meal lasted for an hour, and occasionally some merchants came to sell their goods, jewelry, spices, silk, leather goods, wine, all kinds of mess, and some people even wanted to sell them to a few exotic women with bare skin and flesh, smooth waists, thin hips, round breasts, and straight breasts.
Of course, these were blocked by the four retinues.
Gou Shen chewed slowly, and had the intention to listen to various situations about Wusun here, but most of what he heard was that the new king of Wusun, Nimi, was about to marry the princess of the old king Weng Guimi, so he was interested.
After eating, the five of them returned to the mansion of the Great Han State Embassy in Chigu City, Han Li looked at the dazzling array of guards in his hands and said that Wei Sima and Deputy Envoy Ren still did not come back, of course, they still did not know where to go.
Gou Shen didn't say anything, but he could see that this Han Li's attitude towards him had changed a lot.
Wei Heyi and Ren Chang don't know where to go? If there is something in the embassy, where should I go to find Wei and Yi's two reports?
Gou Shen didn't stay, put down the things he bought, and went back to Akaya Castle to wander around.
The sunlight became stronger and stronger, and the scalp of the person who had not walked a few steps was numb and hot, and Gou Shen was about to find a place to rest, when a woman in a bright red dress rode an equally blood-red horse and galloped towards Gou Shen. (To be continued......)

[Hanshu. The Legend of Wulei records: Wulei country, 10 households, 1,200 mouths, and 300 victorious soldiers. There is one captain and one post chief of the city, and the capital is governed with the capital protection mansion, which is the seat of the capital protection of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty. Geography matters. During the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was changed to Luntai County, and now belongs to the Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang. 】
