Chapter 198: First Arrival in Xizhou

Li Laoduhu sighed and said, "Qin Lan, following Ben Shuai all these years has indeed buried you!" If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war, the old man's original plan was to transfer you out of the Western Regions to the Emperor and go to the Daozhou Governor's Mansion to be the main officer. ”

Qin Lan, who knew a lot about his own protective character, knew that this was true, and he knelt on the ground in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, Qin Lan is a native of Anxi in life, and a ghost in Anxi in death. Anxi is a place that is indeed daunting when it doesn't come, but once it comes, Anxi is a magical place that can make people flesh and blood compatible, even if there is no war, Qin Lan will never leave easily. ”

Li Bu, who continued to look at the east, did not turn around, but just glanced at Ai Jiang, and waved his hand to signal him to get up, and said in a low voice with a happy face: "If you can not die this time, Qin Lan, your future achievements will definitely be above the old man." ”

Qin Lan suddenly felt embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates don't dare!" But when he looked up, he saw that the old handsome was looking at it from afar, and his eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration. When he was close to the railing and stood side by side with the old man, Qin Lan found that on the edge of the skyline not far to the east, a small group of cavalry escorted several large carriages towards this side.

Li Laodu squinted his eyes tightly, how could he not know about this problem that even ordinary soldiers could see clearly? But ordinary soldiers can say whatever they want, but as the commander of an army, he cannot.

The old man glared at Qin Lan fiercely, turned around and pointed to the vast land outside the city, and said with infinite emotion: "Qin Lan, you see the vast landscape of the Western Regions, although the climate is impermanent and not as fine as the Central Plains, but it also has its rough and majestic side. ”

Qin Lan was stunned for a moment, and only after thinking carefully did he comprehend the meaning of Dadu's words, and said with a wry smile: "Twenty years, I have followed my lord in the Western Regions for twenty years, how can I have no feelings?" Even if I don't serve the country and the people, I don't want to see this land being safely taken by the Tibetan aliens. ”

Li Bu sighed and said, "Qin Lan, following Ben Shuai all these years has indeed buried you!" If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of war, the old man's original plan was to transfer you out of the Western Regions to the Emperor and go to the Daozhou Governor's Mansion to be the main officer. ”

Qin Lan, who knew a lot about his own protective character, knew that this was true, and he knelt on the ground in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, Qin Lan is a native of Anxi in life, and a ghost in Anxi in death. The land of Anxi is indeed daunting when it doesn't come, but once it comes, Anxi is a magical place that can make people flesh and blood compatible, even if there is no war, Qin Lan will never leave easily. ”

Li Bu, who continued to look at the east, did not turn around, but just glanced at Ai Jiang, and waved his hand to signal him to get up, and said in a low voice with a happy face: "If you can not die this time, Qin Lan, your future achievements will definitely be above the old man." ”

Qin Lan suddenly felt embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates don't dare!" But when he looked up, he saw that the old handsome was looking at it from afar, and his eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration.

When he was close to the railing and stood side by side with the old man, Qin Lan found that on the edge of the skyline not far to the east, a small group of cavalry escorted several large carriages towards this side.

As the convoy gradually approached, the blurred scene in the field of vision of the two became clearer and clearer, and Li Laoduhu's face became more and more happy, and it didn't take long for him to suddenly stretch out his arm and point to the east of the city, and said excitedly: "Qin Lan, do you see it, it is the Yulin cavalry of the Gongwei Beijing Division, and there are only 20,000 people in the entire Heavenly Empire, and they have never left Beijing since the beginning of the dynasty, and the emperor has not given up on us!" ”

It's been two months, and Dadu Hu finally has a smile on his face, Qin Ran forcibly swallowed the complaining words that were about to blurt out, "It's a pity that only a hundred people came, just a drop in the bucket", but the words came to his mouth: "Dadu Hu, the emperor can send Yulin cavalry here, this move will definitely boost the morale of the army!" ”

Li Bu, who was overjoyed, straightened his somewhat crooked helmet, tightened the big red cloak of his shawl, and said impatiently: "Greet the guards, let's go to the east city gate to greet you!" ”

Accustomed to seeing the Gobi Desert full of yellow sand and gravel, and suddenly seeing the oasis that he had been absent for a long time, Li Tiantu licked his chapped lips, and his spirit was unconsciously lifted. After all, although there is a post station to replenish the water source on the way, in this uninhabited and desolate land, the nearest post station is also 500 miles away.

Su Ling'er on the opposite side had a flat expression and was meditating with her eyes closed. Three thousand miles away, the little girl only did two things, in addition to taking care of her diet and daily life, she meditated and practiced, and that indifference made Li Tiantu also admire.

Su Ling'er, who had been stared at for a long time, seemed to be aware of it, slowly opened her eyes, and wondered, "Why does Childe keep looking at Ling'er?" ”

Li Tiantu smiled faintly, and said casually: "You are calm, Xizhou City is coming." ”

Su Ling'er raised her eyebrows, and muttered after a while: "Is it coming?" ”

Outside, the speed of the convoy increased considerably again. Obviously, the mood of the entourage is the same as his, the desert meets the oasis, even if there is water, it is just as exciting, not to mention that the water storage of the convoy is really not much now.

"Landlord, the gate of Xizhou City is open!" Gong Tu outside the carriage whispered through the curtain of the carriage.

Li Tiantu took out the holy decree from the box in the corner of the carriage and said softly, "It should have been opened a long time ago." If Xizhou City at this time couldn't even find our convoy of more than 100 people, it would have been flattened by the Tubo Iron Cavalry in full swing. ”

Su Ling'er took the opportunity to ask, "Childe, don't you change into a military uniform?" The little girl clearly remembered that the box containing the holy decree contained the Anxi Deputy Metropolitan Protector Shawl brought from Beijing, which was personally sent by Zhu Fatzi, who was a servant of the Ministry of Officials, before leaving, and cried to Li Tiantu with a handful of snot and tears, telling Li Tiantu that this was what he had stayed up all night sewing for his eldest brother, but Su Ling'er, who knew Zhu Fatzi very well, sneered at this, and the ghost believed Zhu Fatzi's nonsense.

Li Tiantu waved his hand, got up and wanted to leave, and didn't forget to laugh at himself: "Son, I am not a pure temple person, and I rarely wear formal clothes in front of the emperor, let alone here." ”

For her son-in-law's uninhibited and uninhibited, Su Ling'er just pursed her lips and smiled, stepped forward at the right time to block Li Tiantu's way, and reminded: "Son, Anxi Dadu protects Li Bu is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, although his military exploits are not outstanding, but the prestige of the court has always been good, you have to wear plain clothes, but you should also let Ling'er tidy up your clothes for you before going out, always look dignified, after all, we will have to settle down under Li Dadu's guards in the future." ”

Li Tiantu didn't think so, he came here to protect the people of this mountain and river. To put it mildly, the current battle situation in the Western Regions is the only one in the world who can solve it. If you can't say that in the end, Li Bu is afraid that he will be grateful to him, so why should he care about these red tape. But in the face of the little girl, he could only give in, and had no choice but to sit down again. Su Ling'er gently buttoned the loose button on the neckline, and stroked the hem of the slightly wrinkled wide brocade robe. After doing this, the little girl magically took out a horn comb from her bosom and re-combed her son's hair in a neat bun. In the end, he did not forget to soak the Jinpa in his arms in the wooden barrel that he brought with the car, and touched his face for Li Tiantu.

Although Li Tiantu, who looked radiant under Su Ling'er's teasing for a while, was delayed for a lot of time, his heart was indeed beautiful, and if any man had such a caring pretty girl waiting with him, he wouldn't be in a bad mood.
