8. The price of love

"Report to the king, there is a group of Han people in front of you who stopped the convoy, claiming to be your old man, the king."

"Let Voliber go and see what kind of 'old people' would dare to stop the Wusun team in the wild. And don't call me the king, call me the queen! ”

Hearing the sound coming from the carriage, a man who had been standing beside him who looked like a giant bear nodded in the direction of the carriage, and then left the place without saying a word, and the soldier who had come to report also left the scene after answering the usual standard of "yes king, yes king", and the soldiers who were protecting the carriage around were not surprised by this situation.

"Mother, why do you always want others to call you 'Queen' when you like the title of 'King' so much, and if others really call you that, you will look very unhappy?"

"My child, you are still young, so naturally you can't understand your mother's feelings. When you grow up and have your own career and family, you will be able to understand your mother's mood today, and you will be able to share this heavy burden for your mother.

However, you are still young, and you can get a little bit of playtime in addition to the necessary study, and you don't need to be in a hurry as your teachers say. What you need is healthy and happy growth, not thinking about things that are beyond your means. You have to trust your mother, and you have to trust your father to shelter you from the elements. ”

"Mother, can you tell me who my father is? I asked a lot of people about this question, but none of them seemed to want to tell me the answer, only that my father was not only alive, but also a very good general. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, when you grow up, you will naturally know. I will also have the opportunity to meet your father. ”

Gently stroking the child's soft hair, he took him into his arms, as if he was talking to his own child, and as if he was just muttering to himself:

"Yes, we will definitely meet again, I never doubted it."

It didn't take long. The figure named Volibel, presumably the leader of the Guards of the Uzon royal family, reappeared in front of the carriage, and behind him were a man and five women leading two horses.

As a result, Li Shushi heard with his own ears the exclamation that came from the carriage as if he was gasping.

No, because it's not easy to find some cool air around here at this time, and sure enough, it makes more sense to change to "gasp for heat", which should meet the requirements of reasonable parties...... It's weird.

In other words, Mr. Sai has already cried and fainted in the toilet in this plane, so don't worry too much about it if it's reasonable or something.

Let's talk about the history of thousands of years of human civilization. When is it reasonable. On the contrary, when you think everything is ready, but God just drops you a joke that is more pig than a pig teammate, or when you think everything has fallen into despair, God may kick down an even more terrible joke to let you know that a mountain is still a mountain high.

It's just that Li Shushi really didn't expect that he would be able to meet his old man again so soon.

It's just his current appearance......

Although it can't be said how sloppy it is, it is not so particular about being in the wild, and it is naturally impossible to be so carefully cared for in terms of image. What's more important is with his appearance, without a huge army as a bonus. It's not a deterrent at all, it seems that even the guy who led them over and treated them with a very respectful attitude was more intimidating than him.

Although in terms of actual combat effectiveness, a Lori can reimburse the guards surrounding this carriage, and a yellow dragon girl can completely solve all the soldiers and horses of the Wusun people along with the country.

"It's really bad to want to rely on weak girls."

"I thought that the concubine had found a lover who could rely on her for life, but who would have thought that this would be the result. Sobbing and sobbing. ”

Hey, hey, hey, shouldn't I save a little face for your father-in-law at this time, why do you work so hard to tear down the stage!

Although Li Shushi knew that Su Xiaololi would not do this for no reason, and then in connection with her previous performance, Li Shushi could more or less guess a little bit of the reason. But his current mood is not extremely complicated and tangled.

Of course, I believe that in addition to Miss Mink in the field, Xiao Zhenqing and Xiaoqiaoyan also have complicated feelings, after all, no matter how much this kind of thing is hidden, they should have noticed it a long time ago after so many years, especially Xiao Zhenqing, she was also one of the participants when she was in the Western Expedition, and she had heard of Li Shushi and Su Xiaololi's plan, or even if she didn't deliberately pay attention to those news, Zhen Jiang, the eldest sister who managed the Zhen family's trade in the Western Regions with her, would also treat those who were in Wusun, whether it was in Wusun. It's still an open secret for the entire Western Regions, and it's told to your little sister.

Before, because the two places were thousands of miles apart, they naturally didn't have any special feelings, but now this sudden reunion without psychological preparation, even a person like Su Xiaololi, who is almost fearless, will have a little emotion of gaining and losing, not to mention Xiao Zhenqing, who has been working hard in secret, I am afraid that the stimulation will be greater.

I don't know when, Su Xiaololi's still fragrant body leaned against Li Shushi's chest, and his left and right hands were divided by the other two ladies, looking at their very relieved expressions, Li Shushi suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Sure enough, only the real pillow people are the most worthy of their own cherishment, as for those ethereal things, everything is fate.

For example, once far away from the mountains, but suddenly closed the mountains and flew across, seeing each other is a fate, parting is also a fate, so why bother with gains and losses.

Thinking of this, Li Shushi showed a smile that has become more and more confident over the years, and said loudly:

"The old friend of the Central Plains met Her Royal Highness the Queen of Wusun, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and gave the sword to the prince of Wusun, wishing the Han and Wusun friendship from generation to generation, and the friendship between the two countries from generation to generation."

With that, he untied a sword that he had hung at his waist and handed it to the commander of the guard.

Although he did not receive an order from Queen Wusun, the commander of the personal guard still did not dare to slack off, respectfully raised his hands and took the sword, and then still maintained the posture of bowing and raising the sword. He took ten steps back slowly, then marched to the carriage where Queen Wusun was, and gave the sword to the queen's personal maid, and finally the veiled maid put the sword into the carriage. From beginning to end, whether it was the commander of the personal guard or the personal maid. When he took the sword, his expression was solemn and solemn, as if it was not a sword with outstanding appearance, but some important weapon of the country such as the jade seal of the country.

Then, Li Shushi heard a somewhat suppressed exclamation, the owner of the voice was obviously a child, named after the prince of Wusun who received the gift from Li Shushi, but he spoke pure and fluent Chinese, which made people worry about whether his Wusun language could pass the Wusun local Wusun level 4 and 6 exam.

Well, the above is completely Li Shushi's mouth.

But. Since the child has a fairly pure Chinese accent, it can only show that the child's mother is indeed in awe of the big Han, as for whether there are other emotions mixed in it, although Li Shushi wants to think so, but those scenes back then always surround his heart, so he couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, secretly laughing at his own self-inflicted amorousness.

If he is replaced by Su Xiaololi, there may be a certain possibility. As for him, he just took what he needed.

It's like today's Western Regions Protectorate. There is also an increasingly subtle attitude.

Some things don't need to be confirmed in person, or it is not good to meet in person, a sword representing soldiers and power should be appropriate as a gift for a boy, and it can be seen from the pleasant voice that the little one seems to like it.

And how could you not like it, even if it wasn't a divine weapon. There are no extremely rare or precious materials used, but it is definitely a masterpiece made by a famous artist and completely completed by White Tiger Meow. Because of its gorgeous appearance, it has replaced the Yitian Sword on many occasions as the ceremonial sword around Li Shushi.

Of course, the White Tiger Meow must be a high-quality product. Not to mention that it is still a masterpiece carefully selected by Li Shushi, whether it is used to cut people in battle, or used as an initiation to increase spiritual power, this sword is absolutely competent, from this point alone, this sword can also be regarded as having the ability to be close to the treasure, if it can fall into the hands of a master, become the carrier of the people's faith, and then use precious materials for secondary forging in the future, then it will definitely become a very powerful treasure.

However, Li Shushi probably couldn't see that day coming.

So, at most, I can only wish this sword here to help its owner become a good person.

At least it should be stronger than him, stronger than his lucky one, whose potential in all aspects can only be regarded as mortal at best.

Turning around, without looking back, Li Shushi walked away in the direction away from the Wusun convoy, holding one in one hand and one hanging on his body, each with a bright smile on his face, which was a smile that made Li Shushi extremely happy and reassured.

Even the Huanglong Girl and Miss Mink gave Li Shushi a positive smile after frowning and watching the whole thing, especially the latter, because Su Xiaololi, who was in a good mood, gave her a lot of benefits, and also performed a folk dance for Li Shushi that was said to come from the Qiang people in the west when he was camping that day.

Although Li Shushi chose to move away from the direction of the Wusun team, in fact, when night fell, Li Shushi and his party of six still entered the place where the Wusun people chose to enter - a town outside the Saiwai that looked quite prosperous.

"Is this still the Gaochangbi in my impression, I haven't seen it for a few years, and it has become so prosperous?!"

Li Shushi's surprise was by no means fake, he really didn't expect that this crowded town was the place that had been almost completely abandoned when the Western Expeditionary Army passed by.

Speaking of the proposal to rebuild Gaochang was put forward by Li Shushi, although everyone at that time expressed considerable doubts about whether this place could support a garrison of 1,000 people, but Li Shushi still took a fancy to this place, because when the rear of the car division was disabled by the Bingzhou army at that time, Li Shushi was not at ease in the front of the car division in Jiaohe City, especially when the other party was still guarding the Daban Pass.

As a result, it seems that because of Li Shushi's original insistence, such a prosperous city was created.

Even if night has fallen, you can still see merchants walking along the stone road, the sound of camel bells and the sound of merchants bargaining, and occasionally you can hear singing, dancing and musical instruments with Western characteristics, and these more "elegant" things come from those rather majestic buildings on both sides of the street, and several of the two-story buildings made of stone bricks are comparable to the imperial palaces of small countries in the Western Regions that Li Shushi once saw. I think it must be more luxurious inside.

On this trade route flowing with gold and treasure. Merchants not only used their lives to forge the myth of wealth, but also drove the economy along the way, and even created a group of wealthy merchants just by serving those merchants who traveled all over the world.

"I don't know how much Mi Fang's guy made by taking the opportunity, seeing so much wealth passing in front of him always makes people have an urge to grab a vote. And even if we did, we wouldn't be recognized. ”

Li Shushi's proposal was immediately supported by Miss Mink, and it was obvious that this crazy girl was indeed as she said, after years of in-depth exchanges with those Hu people, her moral standard in some aspects has moved infinitely closer to those Hu people.

It's just because of the existence of another group of people that this girl's moral level has not completely broken through the bottom line, otherwise there probably wouldn't be the act of petitioning for the people of Hanzhong.

Although Li Shushi is worried about whether Miss Mink will become schizophrenic because of this, it seems that she doesn't care at all.

It's a pity that because of Su Xiaololi's two hand knives, the reserves of the two big thieves "died before they got out of the school". In the end, they could only let their own tears of "remorse" stain their clothes, and then let the girls who gave it smile and bend over.

Eventually, the changed six-member group chose a less conspicuous guest house to rent, and quickly chatted with the owner of the guest house.

Coming here, even because the group still needs to supply materials, it is also necessary to explore some other news, after all, it is possible to let Queen Wusun, who has always been in Chigu City, come here with the first heir of Wusun, and it is an important town under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Protectorate. Li Shushi felt that his IQ did not need to be rescued.

Of course, the most important thing is. Since it has been determined that this is the former Gaochangbi, Li Shushi feels that if he is not Alzheimer's disease, then he does not feel the "flame mountain" like a raging flame when he passes by here in his memory, and naturally he has not heard the locals mention it.

Although it is not excluded that they walked in a hurry in order to catch up with the footsteps of the Xianbei people, according to the power of that "Flame Mountain", even in the middle of winter, it can make the surroundings feel enough heat. There is no reason why it will not attract the attention of the state army.

So whether that flaming mountain has been hidden under people's noses since the beginning, or has it suddenly changed recently?

Li Shushi is quite curious about the secret behind this.

Well, Li Shushi won't say that because the girls plan to go shopping, they will leave him here to watch the house or something, absolutely not!

It's just that he runs the inn with that. Although he is not Han, but the Chinese dialect is still sneaking away, when the shopkeeper was chatting happily, a young figure appeared in front of Li Shushi.

This is a child who looks about ten years old, with a delicate and fair face, a pair of big eyes shining brightly, in the face of such a face, Li Shushi would rather believe that this is a somewhat quiet little girl than a boy.

However, the costume is a typical prairie boy's outfit, and if there is no accident, it should be a cute boy ♂.

Looking at the child in front of him, Li Shushi felt that he seemed to think of Xiao Zhen Qing's cute appearance back then, but compared to the very quiet child in front of him, Zhen Xiao Lori was actually quite lively most of the time.

Of course, compared with Zhen Xiaololi back then, this cute boy paper gives Li Shushi more feelings, but it is a copy of another girl, or the girl's appearance when she was younger.

It's a pity that Li Shushi was not able to see it.

The shopkeeper seemed to realize that the two guests, one big and one small, who were looking at each other in a daze, seemed to have something to say, and even if the two people did not have much similarity, they seemed to be extremely harmonious when they stood together.

So, the innkeeper smiled gently, and remained silent, not knowing where to hide, leaving the place to the seemingly harmonious adult and child.

"What about your mother? You're going to worry your mother if you're running around like this. ”

Li Shushi seemed to be very natural, gently brushing the boy's cheeks with his rough big hand, the file-like palm was definitely not friendly to strangers, but the child stood quietly in front of Li Shushi, staring closely at Li Shushi's eyes, except for the stubborn look, there seemed to be no other complicated feelings in his eyes.

The other party didn't seem to intend to answer Li Shushi's question, or thought that Li Shushi's question was a bit stupid.

smiled self-deprecatingly, his current appearance is not mighty, remove the power and those around him, in the final analysis, Li Shushi is just a common man, not to mention compared with those eternal romantic figures, even compared with those excellent people with a skill, there are many shortcomings.

But ah.

"Seeing that you are wearing a sword at a young age, I don't think it will be just because you look good, how about it, do you want to come twice."

Of course, Li Shushi once again gained a blank eye, and Li Shushi also knew that his statement had a feeling of "adults bullying children".

However, after a roll of the eyes, the child still took the wooden sword handed over by Li Shushi.

By the way, put aside the sword hanging on your body.

That sword, Li Shushi is very familiar with it, after all, it has been hanging for so long anyway, and he always has quite feelings. (To be continued......)
