(I'm lagging behind on the monthly pass list, come on, brothers and sisters!) ）

Out of the box Longquan blood did not sweat, and his life ambition was to kill Loulan.

Loulan country, located at the east end of the desert, its southwest, leads to the mud, and the end, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Khotan and other countries, the north leads to the Cheshi (Gushi), the northwest leads to Yanqi, Qiuzi, etc., the east is Bailongdui, leading to the Huns controlled Dunhuang, Juyan area. Located at the confluence of Yanze (now Lop Nur) and the Peacock River, Loulan City was a necessary place for the Silk Road in the Western Regions, whether it was the southern, middle or northern routes, the meeting point of Eastern and Western cultures was in the easternmost country of the Western Regions.

In the territory of Loulan, the main places are deserts, and the places with water and grass are only near Yanze and the Peacock River, and the territory is mainly dominated by commerce and animal husbandry, and there are not many agricultural fields.

The population of the country is about 10,000 people, of which 3,000 can be recruited. With such a small number of troops sandwiched between the two huge countries of Qin and Xiongnu, the situation of Loulan can be imagined.

When Bai Guangji and Li Zhongxiang received Li Yuan's quick horse urgent report, they were discussing how to persuade An Lu, the king of Loulan, to join the Qin State in the post house.

An Lu was the king of Loulan in the twenty-fifth year of the first emperor, in the position of this king, has been more than ten years, he has two sons and a daughter under his knees, the eldest son An Gui was sent to the Xiongnu court as a hostage, the second son An Tuqi is just ten years old, stayed by his side, among the two sons, the king of Loulan also has a daughter An Qinglan, who is exactly seventeen years old this year.

Loulan people belong to the Cypriot people, blue eyes and high nose, slender figure, the daughter's family is generally married early at the age of seventeen, An Qinglan was born with a beautiful appearance, very caring for the appearance of a beautiful woman, over the years, the princes of the Western Regions have also come to Loulan to propose, but they have all been rejected.

There is no other reason.

None of these pampered princes were able to pass An Qinglan's test. However, just seven days ago, the second son of the Xiongnu Youxian King, Zhelanhou, came to Loulan and asked the king of Loulan to marry the princess, and brought a large amount of wealth and horses as gifts.

Inside the inn.

The Qin State Mission was gloomy and miserable, and this trip to the Western Regions was a cruel race of life and death for everyone in the mission.

Five months ago. If it weren't for Li Zhongxiang's broken fire of more than ten arrows in a row, forcing the Huns to chase after riding, it is not known whether they can reach Loulan. Now, a more serious situation is in front of them, once the Xiongnu Zhelan tribe and the Loulan State marry, it is very likely that their Qin envoys will be transferred to the Huns by the Loulan people as a greeting gift.

"Zhong Xiang, if you don't agree this time, this princess will be robbed of that bullshit Zhelanhou. Are you willing? In the post house, Bai Guangji was dressed in leather clothes, and his whole body was tightly wrapped, and only two eyes were round. The mouth is constantly persuading.

On the opposite side of Bai Guangji, Li Zhongxiang lowered his head and said nothing, in fact. Soon after arriving in Loulan, Li Zhongxiang's head was not raised much.

The competition of three arrows marksmanship, three Hun warriors in the competition of horse archery. was dropped by Li Zhongxiang with a pair of threes, such a result not only shocked the Huns, but also moved the hero-worshipping Princess Loulan.

"Lao Bai, do you think that if I marry An Qinglan, this King of Loulan will choose to ally with my Great Qin, this is absolutely impossible?" Li Zhongxiang was impatient with Bai Guangji's words, and raised his head sullenly and retorted.

"How could it be, isn't King Loulan the most distressed by his daughter? If you become the concubine of Loulan Kingdom, with your ability, the 3,000 victorious soldiers in Loulan will not all be under your command, and when the time comes, what Huns and what Zhelan Marquis will be directly killed, saving the king of Loulan from swaying on the left and right. Bai Guangji said murderously.

As a descendant of the famous general and the killing god Bai Qi, Bai Guangji has a natural desire for killing in his bones, in the years of going deep into Monan and Hexi, as a scout agent, he has no way to command an army to kill the enemy, which makes him feel deeply regretful, and now, the opportunity to seize the military power of Loulan is in front of him, Bai Guangji is full of expectations.

"King Loulan's eldest son An Gui is still a hostage in Mobei, and I heard the princess say that King Loulan has great expectations for this eldest son, and he will not affect the national policy because of personal feelings." Li Zhongxiang shook his head and said.

"I heard the princess say, in this way, you have met in private, what's the matter, tell me Lao Bai clearly, otherwise, be careful that someone Bai will report this matter to the court." Bai Guangji is so tidy.

"Cough, cough, Lao Bai, if you want to report it, Zhong Xiang and the princess only met once after that competition, and An Tuqi, the youngest son of King Loulan, was also present at that time." Li Zhongxiang's face turned red and argued.

After his archery skills were great, Li Zhongxiang was praised as a teacher by An Tuqi, a young prince, and it was precisely because of this relationship that King Loulan did not immediately take the Qin State Mission.

"What is An Gui, if you want Bai to say, let's just stop doing nothing, kill Zhelanhou, and then force King Loulan to abdicate, and then set up Antu Qi as the new king, so the overall situation will be decided." Bai Guangji slapped his hands heavily, and his proposal made the soldiers of the mission around him feel agitated.

Those who can go to foreign countries, which one is not a hero, these Qin envoys after witnessing the death of their companions and their heads being used as wine vessels by the Huns, their hatred for the Huns is also increasing day by day, at this time, Bai Guangji heard such bold words, and immediately agreed. Compared with the excitement of Bai Guangji and others, the younger Li Zhongxiang seemed much calmer, which may be because he had more contact with the Loulan people, and he was still weighing the possibility of attacking the Xiongnu mission.

"Lao Bai, come and see, the Huns' post house is at the west end of Loulan City, on the edge of the Peacock River, here are waterfront on both sides, and the other two sides are heavily guarded by the Huns and Loulan people. Li Zhongxiang took out a parchment scroll from his arms, on which was the direction of Loulan City was hastily drawn. These days, under the pretext of accompanying the little prince An Tuqi, he marked the important places in Loulan City on the parchment scroll one by one in his heart.

"Hey, Zhong Xiang has already premeditated, so don't tell me his thoughts quickly." Bai Guangji smiled and leaned over to take a closer look at the sheepskin map drawn by Li Zhongxiang.

"Lao Bai, gentlemen, from the analysis of the information currently available, there are more than 300 envoys brought by the Xiongnu Zhelanhou, including more than 160 warriors and more than 200 servants, these people live in two places, and the servants don't have to worry about it for now, let's just say how to deal with the 160 people of Zhelanhou, if the Huns gather in one place, even if we raid at night, we have no good chance of winning." Li Zhongxiang shook his head and said.

"It's better like this, when the raid is made, I will attract the attention of the Huns, Zhong Xiang, you smuggle over from the Peacock River, wait until Zhelanhou shows his figure, and then shoot this man with an arrow." Bai Guangji said murderously, with a marksman like Li Zhongxiang present, it was like having a long-range sniper rifle in his hand, even if the Huns blocked the attack of the Qin envoy, they couldn't stop the sniping from the darkness.

"Zhong Xiang, whether you can complete the task in this battle, the key lies in whether you can break the enemy with one shot, there is only one chance, I believe you, for the glory of Great Qin, we people, even if we die in battle, we will die without regrets." Bai Guangji's face was solemn, his hands tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, and he shouted.

"Old White ——!" Li Zhongxiang was moved when he heard this, and said.

"Gentlemen, the army of Wuhou has set off from Jincheng, the vanguard army is marching to the area of Yanzhi Mountain, and in the area of Hexi, there are 100,000 people in the Xiongnu's right Xianwang department, and my Great Qin army is a small number of people, if you want to gain the initiative, you must open up a second battlefield in the rear of Loulan, in front of the overall situation, we people, even if we are all killed, it should be." Bai Guangji stood up, and his sturdy figure looked incomparably tall at this moment.

——。

Loulan Palace.

The old King of Loulan, An Lu, was worried about the gathering of the envoys of the two great powers in Loulan City, and the aggressiveness of the Huns made him feel a sense of suffocation, and at the same time, the arrival of the envoys of the Qin State made him fall into deep worry while seeing hope.

"Father, what are you worried about, we can't agree to the demands of the Huns." A fiery voice tore through the silence in the palace, the curtain was lightly opened, and a tall girl with pale blue eyes and fair skin rushed in.

"Qinglan, you don't have to worry about these things, go and see your brother, don't let him run around." An Lu's face sank and he scolded. This flowery and moon-looking daughter is his favorite and proud, and it is also one of his troubles now, the Xiongnu's Zhelan Marquis envoy is in the city, and it is obvious that he will not agree to leave, but this dead girl does not look down on the son of the right virtuous king at all.

"Father, anyway, I just mean the same thing, I won't marry that Zhelanhou if I die." An Qinglan Jiao sneered, and then ran out regardless of whether King Loulan agreed.

"Dead girl, you come back to me, listen to me, that Qin envoy is just a little more accurate in archery, how can he be worthy of the status of the Xiongnu princes——。" King Loulan shook his head and muttered.

As a father, of course, he hopes that his daughter can marry well, and if he marries into a wealthy family at the same time, he can also help the mother country obtain greater benefits, it is the best of both worlds, the best choice.

However, the Xiongnu Youxian King's marriage proposal conditions made An Lu very dissatisfied, the strong Huns obviously did not think that a small country with only 3,000 victorious soldiers in Loulan could have any effect on the Great Huns, although the Marquis of Zhelan came to propose marriage this time brought a lot of wealth, but the substantive Loulan King was most concerned about the reduction of taxes and the reduction of tribute in return to the Huns did not mention a word.

Under this oppression, An Lu, the king of Loulan, intended to unite with Qin, so as to force the Xiongnu to make concessions, but now, the Huns do not seem to care about this. (To be continued......)
