Yao Hulu and Shizhong rushed all the way to rest in peace, and the rest of the dynasty was located in the farthest part of the Western Regions, a formidable rival on the European continent that could not be ignored.

The Anxi Dynasty had a vast territory and strong national strength, and its predecessor, the Persian Dynasty, was famous far and wide, and even the Han Dynasty thousands of miles away was in awe. Zhang Qian opened up the Silk Road, brought the silk porcelain of the Han Dynasty to Persia, and brought the carpet specialties of Persia back to the Han Dynasty, enhancing the exchanges between the two countries and making extremely important contributions to the future economic development.

The relationship between Anxi and the Han Dynasty was relatively close, and silk porcelain circulated from Anxi, which caused worldwide influence. At the same time, the economic atmosphere of Anxi itself is also very active, except for the unstable political situation, this country can be regarded as the most powerful country in the Western Regions.

Since the Parthian tribes replaced the Persian royal family, the era of the Sabbatical dynasty began. The Parthian tribe was a descendant of the Great Moon clan and also became the White Huns. Although it was a branch of the Xiongnu, the White Xiongnu basically had nothing to do with the Xiongnu, they lived on the rich Sabbath continent, and were not interested in the struggle of the Western Regions.

The Xiongnu have always been strong, and they are a mortal threat to other countries in the Western Regions, but they are helpless against rest, and the battle line is too far away, and there is no certainty of victory. The White Xiongnu had long been out of control, and set up a separate Parthian tribe, dissociating themselves from the Xiongnu.

The threat from the outside world is not enough to fear, but there are many internal contradictions in Anxi, dozens of tribes, large and small, are ruled by tribal leaders, who are superficially subordinate to the Parthian royal family, but secretly they are making their own small calculations. The heyday of the Sabbatical dynasty is coming to an end, and it is currently in a phase of gradual decline, but the emaciated camels are bigger than the horses, and the other small tribes are not yet ready to deal with the Parthian royal family.

Shizhong heard Liu Ye talk about this history, but he couldn't say the same thing to the medicine gourd, if the medicine gourd was asked, he would never be able to explain Liu Ye's details! Time travel is too mysterious, it is not easy for him to believe it himself, and it is probably impossible to convince others to believe it.

After several days of traveling, day and night, even the profound medicinal gourd could not help it. During the period of staying in the palace to recuperate, his skills have recovered ninety percent, and it is not a problem to run the rivers and lakes. But the problem is that before he meets his opponent, he has to save his strength, so as not to get tired and lie down before he meets his opponent.

Stara Mountain was in front of him, and wisps of green smoke could be vaguely seen slowly rising from the main altar of the Mausoleum Sect, the medicine gourd tightened the reins of the horse, raised his hand to the post station on the side of the road, and said to the teacher: "Go, rest for a night." ”

The medicine gourd ordered, and the division only nodded, this was the first time he had come to such a far place, except for the history that Liu Ye had said, he didn't know much about rest.

The medicine gourd rubbed the old waist that began to be numb, swayed close to the stiff neck, and muttered to himself: "Alas, it's not okay to be old, a person who has half of his body into the loess really can't be compared with a young man." I don't know how many times I can fight for my life, and I want to go back to my hometown for burial? Hmph, I don't even have a window, and I'm satisfied that my son and granddaughter can bury me on the mountain......"

Shizhong helped him get off the horse, and listened to him muttering this, and couldn't help laughing: "Old gourd, don't think about these things, you will definitely live a long life, and if you want to go back to support the elderly in the future, just say no to the princess!" ”

"Cut, you treat me as an old turtle, and I will live a long life!" The medicine gourd said this, and he was still quite happy in his heart, pouting and saying, "Forget it, don't bother the princess, when I took this step, I expected this result." It's just a walk in the world, dust to dust, dust to dust, where to go back and forth, a shell, it's the same wherever it stays. ”

The medicine gourd patted Shizhong on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "You kid is still so young, have you ever planned for the future?" ”

Shi Zhong thought that he was referring to staying in the Western Regions for the rest of his life, and said disapprerovingly: "As you said, it's just a shell, and there's nothing to care about." ”

"Tsk, you really misunderstood me!" Yao Hulu shook his head, put his hands behind his back, cleared his throat, and said with a clear purpose, "Why did I adopt a son, it's not for someone to die in the future, people are dead a hundred, but it is not exempt from vulgarity, there should always be a relative by your side when you leave." I've only cared about fighting with the old bastard of the poisonous scorpion in my life, delaying a lifelong event, and when I understand that it's too late, fortunately, God is kind to me, let me meet my Persian son, hey, it's okay now, even the daughter-in-law is saved, I don't die and have a son, do you think this is a pie in the sky? ”

Shi Zhong tied the reins of the two horses to the tree outside the post station, held a few handfuls of hay and put them in the manger, and the medicine gourd looked back and saw that he was busy feeding the horses, and then asked again: "Hey, God gave me a son, do you think this is a good thing?" ”

"Well, well, yes......" Shizhong nodded hurriedly, clapped his hands and chased after him, walked into the post station with him, and asked the shopkeeper for two rooms.

The shopkeeper took them upstairs, and the medicine gourd glared at Shi Zhong and pouted, obviously very dissatisfied with his answer, entered the room, and continued: "What about you, you don't want to have a relative by your side?" ”

Shizhong closed the door, walked over and opened the window, and looked at the lush Stara Mountains: "Let's talk about it later, maybe I have a blessing like you, God gave me a son and a half daughter." If it's a son, I teach him martial arts, and if it's a daughter, I teach her the piano skills, and I will have no regrets when I pass away in the future. ”

Shizhong's tone was a little perfunctory, not like he was seriously considering this issue, the medicine gourd jumped up, the little short legs ran fast, and came behind him with two swishs, and poked him hard at the back of the head.

"You kid, you're really an elm head, how can you compare yourself to me? Do you think everyone has such a blessing as me? If you want a son and a half daughter to give birth by yourself, you want to get something for nothing at a young age, it's too unreasonable. Hey, aren't you usually very good, how can you be stupid when you talk about this kind of thing? You shouldn't be pretending to be stupid with me! ”

The medicine gourd poked Shizhong's head at once, Shizhong had a bitter face, and reluctantly smiled: "Old gourd, how can I pretend to be stupid with you, you see, I haven't married a wife, where are my children?" ”

"Then go find one, your eyes are so big, can't you see anything? What a good girl is by your side, and you don't look at it much, what are you thinking in your heart? ”

The words of the medicine gourd were too clear, Shizhong couldn't help blushing, he lowered his head, and hurriedly changed the topic: "I don't know how many masters there are at the Xiling Sect's General Altar, is it difficult for the Bright Moon Holy Maiden to deal with it......"

"Come less, as soon as I tell you to be serious, you will talk nonsense." The medicine gourd has endured him for a long time, Qingling is young, beautiful, smart and capable, what's wrong, a girl's family is willing to put down his face and take the initiative to pursue him, and he hasn't reacted yet. If others don't know, they still think that no one wants Qingling.

In order to ask for an explanation for his granddaughter, the medicine gourd decided to let it go: "Let me ask you, what do you think of Qingling?" ”

Shi Zhong knew that sooner or later he would have to face this problem, and he didn't plan to drag it out, so he said bluntly: "Qingling girl is very good, beautiful and wise, kind and simple, although sometimes she is easy to be impulsive, but she is a warm-hearted good girl......"

Without waiting for Shizhong to finish speaking, the medicine gourd interjected: "Yes, you also know that she is good, then you still pretend to be garlic ......"

In order to avoid further misunderstanding, Shi Zhong hurriedly explained: "I know that Qingling is a good girl, but I only treat her as a sister, and I will try my best to protect her from harm, but I can't promise her anything. Old gourd, I didn't treat you as an outsider, you and Qingling are my companions, I must be honest with you. ”

The medicine gourd was stunned for a moment, and asked incomprehensibly, "Why?" Why can't you be a woman? When you are in danger, she uses her body to block the carriage for you, why can't you see her thoughts? ”

"I can see that I know that she is good, and I know that she is willing to give everything for me, but I am not worthy of her ......to treat me like this," Shi Zhong paused, patted his left chest, and opened his mouth with difficulty, "There is no room for others here, do you understand?" ”

Shizhong has never been honest about his feelings to anyone, and he knows that he and his beloved will not have results, but he still can't control his feelings. It may be easy to fall in love with someone, but it is not so easy to forget. Shizhong understands himself, and since it is unforgettable, it is better to keep her in his heart and love her silently.

The medicine gourd stared at the teacher in a daze, and the fact that the teacher admired Liu Ye could be seen by anyone with long eyes. The sadness and helplessness in his eyes is sad, although it is a pity that he can't have such an excellent grandson-in-law, but he is an open-minded old man after all.

"Yes, yes, what do you like, our Qingling is not uncommon with your dead eyes, without you, I can still find her a good in-law!" The medicine gourd counted two sentences in the master, raised his head and laughed, pointed at him and said, "You kid, the degree of dead eyes is like a poisonous scorpion, haven't you seen him, next time I see him, I have to arrange for you to communicate, I suggest you take some scriptures from him, it will be long in the next few decades!" ”

Shi Zhong smiled awkwardly, there was nothing to say, the medicine gourd looked out the window with his hands on his waist, squinted his eyes slightly, and sighed lightly: "Do you know the thing about the poisonous scorpion and the Bright Moon Holy Maiden?" ”

Shi Zhong shook his head honestly, covered the window with the medicine gourd, raised his index finger to cover his lips, and whispered: "I have to say this quietly, I will only say this once, only for you, and I will not tell others." Go, let's see if anyone is eavesdropping outside the door, this is the territory of the Xiling Sect, maybe the little two just now are from the Xiling Sect. ”

The mysterious appearance of the medicine gourd, Shi Zhong looked at it and wanted to laugh, but he still obediently went to the door to look, confirmed that there was no one around, and came back to report: "No one eavesdropped." ”

The medicine gourd breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the bed with one butt, stroked the gray beard in one hand, held the tea offered by the division in the other, drank a few sips to moisten his throat, and smacked his mouth and talked eloquently.
