When Xiao Yao and Si Lan returned to the temple, Ban Ping's retinue Dabao was still asleep. Xiao Yao woke him up: "What about your master?" Dabao rubbed his eyes and looked at Xiao Yao in confusion: "He seems to have gone out in the middle of the night." Xiao Yao asked, "Do you know where you went?" Dabao shook his head: "He has sleepwalking, often goes out for a walk like this before coming back, once walked to the Hun barracks, and came back with two Hun soldiers' heads." ”

Dabao is not at all worried about the disappearance of the master, he considers the master a hero. Xiao Yao looked at Si Lan: "It's not early, let's rest." ”

Walking on the ancient road of Chang'an, Xiao Yao can always smell a faint fragrance, which is the smell of folding willows, which means that they are getting closer and closer to Chang'an. Dabao's face was full of sadness. Dabao said: "My wife may have remarried, and I will bring her a piece of beautiful jade from Loulan." Xiao Yao couldn't help but ask Dabao: "How is the wife of the class master?" Dabao laughed: "I remarried early, let me tell you, anyone who wants to go to the Western Regions has been hurt by women, and Master Ban is no exception." ”

When crossing the Baqiao, Xiao Yao walked very slowly, he wanted to take a closer look at the Baqiao willows, the Baqiao bluestone was made of soil, the willows on both sides were like smoke, and in the distance, you could see women in fresh clothes looking at them. It was obvious that they were interested in Xiao Yao and Si Lan's identity, but this interest was only faint.

When Xiao Yao passed by them, they laughed and huddled, and one of them asked, "Do you have jade on you?" Xiao Yao shook his head: "I only have a night pearl." "Can you take it out and have a look?" "It's daytime, and the pearls of day and night are no different from ordinary beads, and may even look even uglier than ordinary beads." Another girl pointed to her companion and said, "Is it more ugly than her?" Xiao Yao said: "Actually, the real ugliness can't be seen from the appearance. ”

The girl said, "Alas, you are really Rory Rosso, take out your pearl of the night and let us see." Xiao Yao said: "The night pearl can only be seen by the beloved." At this time, the brilliance on the girl's face instantly dimmed, like a night pearl taken out during the day.

Finally arrived at the city gate of Chang'an, Xiao saw three big characters in the distance: Bacheng Gate. Walking to the gate of the city, the soldiers guarding the city were smiling and very respectful to Dabao. "You're finally back alive, old class?" Dabao said: "Is the old class your name?" Dabao burst into tears when he said this.

Shoucheng saw the sad expression on Dabao's face and said: "Seeking benevolence and benevolence, we already knew that Master Ban had such a day, he was different from people like us who lived in Chang'an, he was a hero who stood up to the sky." I will tell the story of the Ben Da people who died for the Han Dynasty and everyone who entered the city. ”

When entering Chang'an, the people in the city were still asleep, so they walked the palace road, the bluestone bricks on the palace road were as fine as silk, Xiao Yao stepped on it, and walked to Weiyang Palace step by step, Dabao said, that is the emperor's office. When he was still on the road, Xiao Yao asked Dabao what his name was and what he called it. Dabao said: "His big name is Liu Che, but we are privately calling him Ah Li, because he is very stingy, although his golden palace is almost overwhelmed." ”

Walking into Weiyang Palace, Xiao Yao saw that there were military generals standing on one side and Wen Chen on the other, everyone wearing very delicate and bright clothes. Xiao Yao, who was standing in the main hall, looked at the Han Emperor on the dragon chair from afar, although his face looked a little vicious, Xiao Yao felt a little kind, because this emperor was alive, and he was a relatively stingy emperor.

According to the ancient etiquette, Xiao Yao wanted to perform three bows and nine bows, and the Son of Heaven raised his hand: You are from the Western Regions, you don't need to kneel.
