Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu entered the country by local cars.

Perhaps because the locals led the way, they were not troubled, and the people they met, both men and women, were polite.

"Huaiyu, I don't think the people of Loulan are as difficult as they say." Xia Zhixue held her head and gave a very pertinent evaluation.

In the time since she was here, she didn't feel the slightest bit of disrespect or rudeness.

"It's not for sure." Ouyang Huaiyu touched her head and chuckled, "We are only in contact with the locals of Loulan at the moment, but we still don't know anything about the other tribes, including the Waiyi who have settled in Loulan. ”

Xia Zhixue bowed her head, and her heart was good.

These people are polite enough, but how can others say it accurately, and what if it is difficult to get along with those envoys?

Suppressing a little bit of excitement in her heart, Xia Zhixue quietly watched the changes in the scenery in front of her, as well as the Loulan Palace not far away.

The palace in Loulan is very different from the south.

The royal palaces in the south are always accustomed to vermilion walls and green tiles, stacked on top of each other, which look unique.

In Loulan, there are no vermilion walls, no green bricks and tiles, and some bricks made of earthy yellow clay are stacked layer by layer and piled up in a square.

There are occasionally attics on the square main hall, and the height of the general hall is only about eight feet, which looks very tasteful.

"Girl, childe, there is the palace ahead, and we ordinary people can't enter it." In short, there must be a stop here.

"Then stop here, how much does the car cost?" Ouyang Huaiyu was very talkative, and he didn't embarrass the coachman.

"Three copper coins." The coachman smiled and stretched out his hand.

Xia Zhixue's eyebrows jumped when she heard this number, this coachman pulled them all the way, is there less copper coins.

From the ears of those envoys, Loulan is a wealthy place, and everything is expensive, but only this car is so cheap?

Ouyang Huaiyu also didn't believe it in his heart when he heard this, and took three copper coins from his money bag and gave it to the coachman.

Seeing the three copper coins, the coachman's eyes never blinked, and he put the money away and watched the two of them go away together.

The palace was heavily guarded, Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu took out the edict written by the emperor, and finally got the guards to answer pertinently: "Two distinguished guests, please." ”

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu walked all the way into the main hall of Emperor Loulan, and the Emperor of Loulan sat on a high seat, looking at them with a smile.

"These are the envoys who have come to visit." The emperor said.

"It's us, Your Majesty." Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu knelt on one knee together and used the etiquette of Loulan's side.

Xia Zhixue saw that there was no movement for a long time, and looked up at the emperor sitting on the main seat, very young, a little blessed, with a kind face, and there seemed to be some cunning among the approachable.

Xia Zhixue retracted her gaze, rubbed her eyes and said nothing, she would rather she had seen it wrong not long ago.

The emperor of Loulan properly settled the two of them, and specially arranged a good loess courtyard for the two.

But after this arrangement, Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu never saw the emperor again, so the days were three days in a flash.

Everyone understands that this is clearly a dismount, and Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu are not in a hurry.

"Huai Yu, what do you say this Loulan Emperor will do if he doesn't see us all the time?" Xia Zhixue propped up her head.

"Then ......" Ouyang Huaiyu paused, "We'll keep waiting, anyway, Brother Huang, he didn't stipulate when we should go back, so it doesn't matter." ”

Xia Zhixue bowed her head and agreed: "Also, Emperor Loulan has also given us a clear word, and we don't have to pay all the money in Loulan, it's a big deal to make the Loulan treasury empty." ”

The voices of the two of them were very loud, as if they were determined to be heard. 33

The secret guard who was waiting for the rabbit in their courtyard shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

He had watched the every move of many envoys, but he had never seen such a shameless one.

The body swept into the air, and the dark guard disappeared from the courtyard.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu stopped the topic in time, and looked at the direction in which the dark guard left, and they both showed a smile.

The means of this small place in Loulan are endless.

The secret guard went straight to the palace, he didn't think that his whereabouts would be known by others, and he knew it cleanly, and his face was picked up.

In the palace, the emperor of Loulan was nowhere to be seen, and he hid behind the screen and spoke to a man from the Central Plains, his voice was very soft.

"Yes, that's it...... "is the emperor of Loulan," tell your master, saying that I unconditionally support this plan. ”

"If only you agree, Lord Regent." It's another man," but remember, be kind to the new envoy and don't make them suspicious. Finally your Emperor ......"

"Everything understands." The emperor of Loulan said again.

The Dark Guard had the privilege of coming in without a notification.

When the emperor of Loulan heard some noises, he immediately walked out from behind the screen, looked at the secret guard, and frowned unconsciously: "Do you have news?" ”

"Report to the emperor, there is news." The dark guard took a step further and repeated the conversation between Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu exactly as it was.

As soon as Emperor Shan heard a few words, his face turned from sunny to cloudy, and he was very ugly: "A few of them have the courage to say that they don't even know that this good day is over." ”

There was obvious sarcasm in his words.

"You continue to keep an eye on them, remember not to let them know of your presence, if they are discovered......"

Emperor Loulan made a gesture of cutting his neck: "You should know how to keep secrets." ”

"My subordinates understand." The Dark Guard responds and leaves.

For several days in a row, it was peaceful.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu were indeed worth the trip, and sometimes they walked out of the palace to wander the streets to understand the customs of Loulan.

Loulan borders on Waiyi, there are many famous ethnic groups, and the culture produced is very characteristic of the Western Regions, and it is particularly inclusive.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu stopped and stopped all the way, and they had been walking in Loulan for seven or eight days, but they never had any sense of boredom.

Ten days after they arrived in Loulan, the emperor seemed to finally remember that there was such a person, and called them back to the palace.

"Two, please come with me." They were greeted by an officer and soldier, dressed in silver armor.

This officer and soldier is a familiar one, who follows the emperor all day long, and his official position is not small.

Xia Zhixue and Ouyang Huaiyu glanced at each other and followed his steps: "Youlao leads the way." ”

Emperor Loulan was in the imperial study at the moment, and there was still a person standing next to him, his clothes were ragged, his shoes were half frayed, his hair was a mess, and it looked like he hadn't washed it for several days.

This person is always a little familiar, but also a little unfamiliar.

When the emperor of Loulan saw the two coming, he greeted each other with a smile on his face, and his face was gloomy and quite scary.

"The two of you are finally here, and it will be so hard for me to wait." The emperor of Loulan said sarcastically, "You still dare to commit crimes on our territory in Loulan. ”

With his words, the ragged man turned around.
