Duguhuan's face is redder than the red beans in the south.

His heart, and even his eyes, were full of admiration and longing for the girl in front of him.

He thought about it, so he hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.

He likes her so much, loves her so much, he wants to be with her for the rest of his life, and he doesn't want to be separated for a moment.

But he is such a man, his heart is turned upside down, but his mouth is tight, and he doesn't know how to say it.

Guo Hua said a few words of encouragement, and Dugu Huan was still there like a pestle of wood.

The atmosphere became awkward.

Guo Hua kept scolding himself in his heart, scolding himself for talking too much, he shouldn't have forced Dugu Huan too hard, just let them go with the flow.

He stole a glance at the magpie, and he was so worried that she would suddenly run away and never be found again.

This crazy woman can do anything, even on this hundred-foot high platform, she dares to jump down.

This woman can do anything.

Guo Hua thinks so, he thinks not badly, the magpie is indeed a woman who dares to do things, a crazy woman.

It's just that he still expects to be a little worse.

The magpie had no intention of running at all.

Her eyes were also full of love, and she responded warmly to Dugu Huan's eyes.

Suddenly, she straightened up, her chest was almost on Dugu Huan's face, and she neatly stretched out her slender hand, twisted his chin, and lifted his face.

The magpie put on a "majestic" posture, stared at Duguhuan's eyes, and said a sentence categorically, which shocked Guo Yudu.

"Since your mother-in-law is your mother-in-law, then it's better to replace me, and I'll marry you. ”

"Huh?" Duguhuan finally opened his mouth wide, still not knowing what to say.

Guo Hua was surprised and delighted, and almost screamed.

He pushed Dugu Huan and clapped his hands happily.

"Ahh

"Uh-"

Guo Yu smiled secretly, there is a nerd like Duguhuan in the world, and he really nodded "uh".

Fortunately, the magpie has already been cleared, so he doesn't mind at all and goes on.

"Then I'll go and tell your wife, I can first move with her affection, know reason, just say that there is a smart and clever girl, can do laundry and cook, speak well, and can give birth to babies and children, I want to be a good sister with her, she is big, I am small. ”

"I, I-" Dugu Huan muttered for a while, and was robbed by the magpie again.

"I don't need you to do it, just treat me as a man who robs men and women and forces you to be my husband, of course I should say it, if- if- hehe-"

"What if?" Dugu Huan saw that her expression was not normal, and finally said a complete sentence.

"If she's hard-hearted and won't accept my kindness, I'll have to—"

"What has to happen?" Dugu Huan became anxious.

"What? are you nervous about her?" asked Magpie rhetorically.

"I don't want you to hurt her. ”

"Hey, am I the kind of person who is unreasonable? Why should I hurt her, I just want to hurt you. ”

"You, what do you want?" Duguhuan was really afraid that she would do something out of the ordinary.

"If she doesn't accept my suggestion, then I'm going to—in her presence, cut you in half, half to hers and half to mine. ”

“......”

"You don't have to look at me like that, auntie, I can say it, I can do it. ”

Since Guo Hua and others went to the Western Regions, they have finally ushered in a period of peace.

Every two hours, the beacon towers in the four towns of Anxi will report safety.

However, the posture of active defense must not be relaxed. Su Dingyuan sent several rangers to patrol around the Western Regions. lest the enemy take advantage of the vast and sparsely populated characteristics of the Western Regions to secretly attack.

Another messenger was sent to inform the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, pay close attention to the movements of the Turkic Department, and unite to defend against the enemy.

In the vicinity of the Queli Temple, a group of 3,000 elite soldiers was also stationed to protect the safety of the Queli Temple, especially the Peacock King and Master Tanhua.

At present, although the Tibetans have repeatedly harassed the Western Regions, they are all the temptations of small forces, and the envoys of the two sides have exchanged envoys, and they still maintain the attitude of peace alliance.

Especially the Peacock Dharma King and Master Tanhua, their positive role will be crucial in the future on the issue of the Tang Fan Alliance.

Guo Hua also informed his senior brother Hui Guo with the secret method of transmitting sound into the secret for thousands of miles, hoping that he would persuade his master to send his disciples to the Great Snow Mountain to meet the King of the Treasure Elephant, and use his appeal to promote the alliance and alliance.

Everything is arranged properly, and Guo Yu is really idle.

The magpie is a revisit, she was born in the city of broken leaves, how many times in her sleep she returned to the desert oasis, galloping between the Gobi and the Han Sea.

Guo Hua and Dugu Huan traveled all the way in the Western Regions, and they were fascinated by the magnificent scenery of the Western Regions.

The three of them made an appointment with Su Dingyuan, and then followed a team of rangers to inspect the various feudal mansions, inspect the folk customs, and appreciate the pride of the desert.

Sometimes I rode a horse for a day and a night, and I couldn't see a hill, an oasis, and it was magnificent.

Dugu Huan even thought of Gao Xianzhi.

He already knew where he came from, and he was slowly coming to terms with it.

At that time, Gao Xianzhi also started as a guerrilla general, galloping in the endless desert all year round, chasing horse bandits and invaders.

On this day, when Guo Hua and a group of rangers were resting in a post in an oasis, a team of messengers came.

A group of five people was sent by Guo Xin to Yilulu City to inform the Anxi general Su Dingyuan of his whereabouts.

His plan to tour the Western Regions will set off again on his journey to Shattered Leaf and Talas.

There were also letters to Guo Hua and others, informing them to go to the Broken Leaves Convergence. If there is no accident, they will return to Tingzhou, the capital of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, after inspecting the Broken Leaf and Talas City, and then return to Chang'an to report to the emperor about the border patrol.

The crisis in the Western Regions is not something that his 500 people can solve, and he still needs to return to Chang'an in time to restore the emperor's order.

When the magpie heard this, he was most excited.

Shattered Leaf City is the place where she was born and raised, although everything about it has long been blurred, but there are still some sour memories engraved in her heart.

Guo and the three of them brought their own dry food, separated from the rangers, and walked northwest along a tributary of the Chihe River for three days to the south bank of the Atami Sea.

Atami, also known as Daikiyoike. This name is used in Master Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".

"The mountain travels more than 400 miles to Daqing Pond. More than 1,000 miles around, wide from east to west, narrow from north to south. Negative mountains on all sides, longitudinal currents, blue and black ribbons, salty and bitter taste, flood and sweat, turbulent waves. Arowana is miscellaneous, and the spirits and monsters arise from each other, so they travel back and forth, pray for blessings, although there are many aquariums, do not dare to fish. ”

Master Xuanzang's account is also the earliest written record of the "Great Qing Pool" that can be examined in history.

Now its name is Issyk-Kul Lake.

Atami is a highland lake surrounded by snow, but it is an ice-free lake.

The Atami Sea is unusually vast, almost more than 100 times larger than Puchanghai (Lop Nur), the depth of the lake is more than 100 zhang, and the deepest part is more than 200 zhang.

The vastness and tranquility are refreshing.

For the three of Guo Mi, who have been in the desert for a long time, it is like going to heaven.

When the three of them saw it from afar, they galloped excitedly and came all the way to the lake.

The magpie reminds everyone that the lake water is bitter and salty, and people can't drink it directly, and it's better to drink it.

The three of them found a shoal, bathed the horses, rested for a while, and then continued along the shore.

Master Xuanzang remembered that there were many sacrificial platforms made of stones and big stones along the way, on which all kinds of flour cakes, dried meat, wine and other things were placed as offerings.

The water of the lake is clear, and you can see many big fish that are more than a foot long, or even a few feet long, but no one catches them.

The people of the nearby tribe say that there are gods in the lake, and these fish belong to the gods, and mortals are not allowed to fish and eat them, otherwise the gods will send out fierce beasts at the bottom of the lake to devour his cattle and sheep.

To the northwest of Atami, there is a river that flows into the lake, called the Broken Leaf River.

Broken Leaf City is on the bank of the Broken Leaf River, and you can reach Broken Leaf City smoothly along the Broken Leaf River.

Along the banks of the Broken Leaf River, there are many tribes and villages.

Most of the people here make a living from fishing, hunting, and grazing, and there are some first-class tuntians to grow crops and raise pigs and cattle.

Fish in Atami are not to be caught. However, if the big fish in the lake swim into the Broken Leaf River, they will be regarded as a gift from the gods.

Those big fish are more than 100 catties, and the big ones can be hundreds of catties or more than 1,000 catties.

When the three of them were resting at a restaurant in one town, a local elder said that there were still some fish in Atami and the Shiba River, six or seven feet long, and their bodies thicker than three cows combined.

"Their faces, their whiskers, are no longer like fish, like dragons, such fish cannot be caught, they are the messengers of the gods of Atami, they patrol in the broken leaves, they are the messengers of the fish and dragons sent by the gods of the lake. ”

"Of course, mortals don't have the ability to catch them, there are always those young men who don't believe in gods, go to challenge the fish and dragon messengers, don't listen to the old man, and lose their lives. ”

Guo Yu asked the magpie in a whisper if she had ever heard of such legends. The magpie shook his head, he was too young at the time, where did he remember these chickens and dogs.

"Uncle, when will I see the Ichthyosaurus Messenger?" asked Guo Hua with a curious smile.

"Hey, young man, you've stopped me, the Ichthyosaurus is the messenger of the Atami gods, how do I know. ”

"There's no pattern or something?" asked Guo again.

"No, how can there be a rule, it all depends on whether the gods are in a good mood before sending a messenger out. The uncle's face was a little embarrassed, and he reluctantly explained.

"Uncle, have you seen that fish and dragon messenger?" asked Guo Xuan.

The uncle swallowed his saliva, looked at Guo Xuan, blinked his eyes a few times, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"Young man, don't you have anything serious to do? You came all the way from Chang'an to inquire about these things?"

Hahahaha, magpie and Dugu Huan couldn't help but laugh when they heard the old man's words.

These folk legends are often chased by the wind and shadows, after tea and dinner, as a pastime, the people who speak paint the sound and add oil and vinegar, and the people who listen are full of interest, just for a fun.

Which Cheng wanted to meet Guo Hua so seriously, and kept asking questions, which made the old man a little embarrassed.

It's just that this old man is honest and meets a storyteller, so that no matter what you ask or what you ask, you can make it up for you.

There was an uncle next to him, seeing that the atmosphere of this "folk tale forum" was a little cold, he quickly picked up the topic and continued to tell Guo Hua the story of the fish and dragon messenger of the Broken Leaf River.

As he was talking about the excitement, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums beating outside.

The diners of the restaurant immediately pricked up their ears, and they were stunned for a moment, and one by one they immediately jumped up and rushed out of the door like crazy.
