Chapter 1: Loulan Beauty (1)
The blue sky, the northwest desert, the boundless yellow sand spreads, near noon, the temperature is gradually rising, the heat wave is coming, the scorching sun is like a flame spraying unobstructed to the earth, the vast desert is baked like a steamer, the heat is pressing!
In the midst of extreme heat and harsh climate, a huge and majestic building stands tall on the loess.
The high walls block the storms of sand, sand and heat, and provide an environment for the people who live there.
Compared to the lifeless desert outside, with no end in sight, the city is bustling with activity. The vendors along the streets, the bustling crowds of people, and the people who come and go in different costumes, can be seen from the colorful dresses of these people from different nationalities and countries.
The ancient kingdom of Loulan, an important hub of the Silk Road in the Western Regions, was inhabited by all kinds of people, including the elderly, children, women, and more merchants.
On the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, merchants bring rare treasures from all over the world to sell and trade here. In these days, the ancient city is always bustling with people, but it is said that the reason why it is so lively today is because the envoys sent by the Western Han Dynasty visit your country.
The magnificent palace, shining dazzling in the sun, the huge Chaoyun Palace, usually used to entertain the courtiers and envoys, at this time the singing and dancing swallows, the aftermath is lingering.
In the ancient city hall, stand four big pillars, the pillar body is carved with a flying dragon, a trickle of water flows slowly from below, and finally introduces into the channel of artificial excavation, and the spring water circulates and flows indoors, bringing bursts of coolness, refreshing people's hearts!
"Holy Lord, you look at this set of porcelain, the shape is plump, vigorous, the shape of the vessel lines is soft and round, giving people a feeling of simplicity and solemnity, this set of blue and white porcelain, is my Western Han Dynasty first-class boutique, it is really rare!"
The envoy Li Yuan smiled lightly, and talked endlessly about the exquisite and luxurious tributes placed in the treasure chest, his head was slightly lowered, his eyes were level with the ground, and he did not dare to look directly at the majestic figure above the throne.
"This item in the box is the famous gold-threaded jade clothes of our Western Han Dynasty, which is decorated with more than 1,000 grams of gold wire and more than 2,000 jade pieces, and it took hundreds of craftsmen more than 200 days and nights to complete! The whole jade dress is exquisitely designed and meticulously worked, which is really a rare treasure! ”
Golden jade clothes, in the countries can be said to be known to everyone, it is how many people dream of the treasure, the Western Han Dynasty only two, one Han Wu Emperor collection to the favored concubines, and the other, then ordered the envoys to bring Loulan, dedicated to the king of Loulan.
This baggage yuan not only brought gold jade clothes, but also a few boxes of high-quality ice cicada silk and precious antiques, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had an obvious intention, quite a desire to attract trade between the two countries.
"Golden jade clothes! Look! It's a golden jade robe! ”
The heirloom treasure was unveiled, and the audience was in an uproar, and all the ministers present were excited, stretched out their heads, and stared wide-eyed, wanting to take a closer look at the real thing.
The jade clothes have been rumored for a hundred years, but no one has ever seen it, and today I was able to see the true face of the treasure, which is really a blessing for three lives!
Hearing the exclamations around him, Li Yuan showed a proud look on his face, and after introducing the tribute offered, he hunched his waist and waited for the surprise and reward of King Loulan, but to his surprise, after waiting for a while, the other party did not respond.
It is rumored that the king of Loulan is cruel by nature, unpredictable and extremely unpredictable, and he thought that the offering of rare treasures must make him very excited, but he was greatly confused by the unexpected result.
OK......... Luckily, he has a plan.........
"In fact, in addition to these chests of treasures, the minister has another thing that I want to dedicate to you!"
Li Yuan smiled confidently, double-clicked his palms, turned his head and shouted confidently, "Come in." ”
After finishing speaking, two people came in from outside the door, one was Zhao Fu, a military general of the Western Han Dynasty, and the other was .........
"Why don't you hurry up and bow to the Holy Lord?"
Seeing that the woman's pestle was in place, Li Yuan spoke sharply, for fear of provoking the wrath of King Loulan.
was about to teach the woman a lesson, but she took a step and half knelt on the ground, hanging her head and saying nothing.
Li Yuan's complexion softened slightly, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked: "It is rumored that the beauty of Loulan has a beautiful appearance of the country, with a fairy-like appearance and cream-like skin, which is very different from the style of my Western Han beauty. The minister has been lonely since he was a child, only seen in the picture scroll, never witnessed it with his own eyes, and now he was ordered to send an envoy to Loulan, and he was fortunate to appreciate the beauty of Loulan, which is really a great luck! This woman, with a fairy appearance and jade bones and ice muscles, is a great honor for her to be able to serve and accompany the Holy Lord from now on! ”
Heroes have always been lustful, and no man can resist the gift of a beauty, and I believe that including King Loulan, everyone is moved.
The half-kneeling woman was dressed in white fluttering, a plain dress that was not decorated with any items, and there was a little more dusty temperament in the light and elegant, with waist-length light brown long hair, untied and sideburns, casually draped behind her, lining her waist and limbs.
On top of the brown hair, he wears a snow-white felt hat, and in the center of the brim, a plump pearl is inlaid with a plump pearl, which makes the peacock feathers above the top of the hat more colorful and moving.
This outfit is the most common dress of Loulan women, and it is worn on her, but it is not comparable to ordinary women.
A white veil, although it covers the stunning face, can't hide the exotic style emanating from the eyebrows.
Sensing the burning gaze projected by the man above the throne on the woman, Li Yuan's smile deepened, he straightened his chest, and with a wave of his right hand, the white yarn fell to the ground!
A full and smooth forehead, naturally thick black eyebrows, and deep sunken green eyes.
The bridge of her nose is high and narrow, her chin is pointed, her lips are as pink and light as flower petals, and her expression is beautiful and melancholy.
The beauty of Loulan is completely different from their Western Han beauty, even if she has seen the face under the woman's veil before, Li Yuan still feels amazing.
The veil was lifted, and before the worldly appearance hidden under the white veil was revealed, the audience let out a shocked snort, but there was no due admiration.
Shocked for a moment, I saw that all the civil and military officials present got up one after another, walked to the center of the hall with panicked faces, and knelt on the ground together, "The ministers are panicked!" ”
The reaction was completely unexpected, and Li Yuan and the others were puzzled, not understanding what their intentions were.
However, Li Yuan didn't think about it, but when they were too shocked, they should have congratulated King Loulan in advance on winning the beauty!
"Why don't you raise your head and let the Holy Lord see clearly?"
However, turning a deaf ear to his commands, under the eyes of a hundred pairs of eyes, Li Yuan was ignored like this, and he felt that his face was swept away.
Annoyed and angry, he stretched out his hand to make a move, but unfortunately before he got close, a sudden yin wind struck, and a dazzling cold light stopped his movements!
In the blink of an eye, he felt a sharp pain coming from his wrist!
"Ah!!h
'Goo Dong .........'
Blood gushed out and splashed all over the ground, and the severed right hand rolled down to a distance of two meters, and suddenly, the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood!
