Jun Sumi appointed Liu Ye as the overseer of the Han craftsmen, who was responsible for overseeing the progress of the expansion of Chigu Castle and maximizing the cost savings and reducing the pressure on the Wusun treasury.

Originally, there were still a few days to prepare, but Liu Ye couldn't wait to leave this grassland, although there were good memories that she cherished.

Weng Guimi promised to marry Fuma, what is the point of her staying, even though they are a model couple in history, but the reality is in front of her, and she has to wonder if her persistence is worth it. In a sense, Liu Ye chose to escape and couldn't face the sad situation, so the farther away he went, the better, as for the illusory things of history, just do what you should do!

She only knew that she was very sad, and she could no longer afford any so-called historical responsibility, she hated herself for being like a fool, she shouldn't have fallen in love with Weng Guimi in the first place. The real princess of worry relief will not be as unproductive as her, so she can always stay calm and make the most correct judgment.

If people are moved, it is difficult to take it back, it is easy to be restrained by the other party, and they can no longer be calm. The world says that she won't regret it, but she regrets it very much now, knowing that he is a person with a marriage contract, and the other party is also the granddaughter of three generations of old ministers, why does she think that she can change reality.

What's the point of fighting for it? It's not scarred! Liu Ye only thinks about this sentence now, he knew why he did it in the first place today! From ancient times to the present, marriage is not as simple as love, especially for people like Weng Guimi, even if he doesn't care about the position of power, but he always has the obligation of filial piety, this is the reality, the reality that is difficult to shake!

Do you regret loving him? Liu Ye was at a loss, if it was a mistake to fall in love with him, she would rather be wrong all the time! But what about loving him? They are powerless to change reality, and since they are powerless to change, they can only accept it silently!

Liu Ye has no confidence in being a junior, she has no interest in other people's husbands, even if he is the person she loves deeply. This kind of relationship is too bitter and tiring, and the real experiences in modern online novels are too numerous to mention, and the glimmer of happiness sought in the cracks is far less than the pain of licking the wound in the night.

Liu Ye has no potential for self-abuse, and she doesn't want to torture herself like this, she doesn't jump back even if she knows it's a fire pit, and she doesn't look back to put it down, to put it bluntly, it's stupid.

Being stupid for love doesn't seem to be derogatory, and that stupidity sometimes means giving without expecting anything in return. It's just that Liu Ye has no spare strength to dedicate, she lost in love, but she still has to fight for her mission, if she even forgets this original intention, she is really useless.

She can't care if others are stupid, but she is not stupid, she does not have this kind of leisure and leisure, and she does not have the spirit of sacrifice without hesitation.

Her life is not all about love.

Early in the morning, Shi Zhong and Chang Hui waited outside the tent, Feng Yan put the luggage in the carriage, returned to the yurt and looked at Liu Ye with a normal expression, and couldn't hold it back anymore after thinking about it for a long time.

"Princess, King Zuo Xian came to me yesterday, he heard that you were leaving today, and he wanted to come to see you off, but he was afraid that you would be unhappy, so he sent this ......" Feng Yan saw that she was not unusual, and took out a delicate brocade box from her sleeve, "That's it, you won't blame me for being good at making claims, I ......"

"Put it there!" Liu Ye said softly, and sorted out his makeup in front of the mirror.

Feng Yan put the brocade box in front of her and hesitated: "Since you came back from the mountain, you have always been like this, and you don't seem to care, but I know that you feel very uncomfortable......

Liu Ye put down the charcoal that traced his eyebrows, and sighed softly: "Sister Xiao, everyone has a different way of venting their emotions, you don't have to worry about me, I know what I'm doing." ”

Feng Yan didn't say much, she nodded: "That's good, Master Shi and General Chang have arrived, we are waiting for you outside." ”

The purple brocade box lay quietly on the table, Liu Ye's indifferent gaze swept over it, and he was silent for a long time, and finally opened it.

It was a branch carved out of rosewood.

"In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, in the earth I wish to be a branch ......"

Liu Ye stared at the delicate and meticulous carving of Lian Lizhi, and Weng Guimi's mysterious appearance appeared in his mind, he said that Qixi would give her a gift, a gift that the Han family woman liked. She asked him what it was, and he refused to say, but his smug look was like saying that she would like it.

Fingertips stroked the smooth lines of Lian Lizhi, her vision gradually blurred, she thought that she would not shed another tear for this man, it turned out that she was not as strong as she imagined.

"Fool, you fool......" Liu Ye laughed angrily, tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, "Thank you for the gift you gave me, I like it very much, really...... You must be happy, or I won't forgive you......"

People always like to use "forgiveness" to comfort themselves and let go of each other, entangled love will not be happy, it will only suffocate the person you love, in this case, why not let each other live!

The carriage slowly drove out of the grassland, different from the mood when he came, after experiencing pain, Liu Ye's heart was firmer. She will not bow to reality, she wants to prove to the world that Princess Xie Wei is a real heroine.

Akiti Castle, she's coming!

"Princess!" Chang Hui called out the car window uneasily, Liu Ye lifted the curtain and looked out, and followed Chang Hui's line of sight to see the person she didn't expect.

The old sage king rode a brown-black Mongolian horse, his gray hair fluttered in the wind with the dark cloak, his deep eyes were still sharp, and his resolute lips were pursed, looking as majestic as he had been.

After all, he was once the most courageous Zuo Xian King on the grassland, hunting the threat that Jiao Mi cared about the most, and even if Lao Xian Wang was old, he still gave people a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

Without waiting for Shizhong and Chang Hui to speak, Lao Xianwang looked directly at Liu Ye and said, "Let's talk about it alone." ”

"Okay." Liu Ye almost didn't think about it and immediately agreed.

"Princess, be careful......" Feng Yan was sweating nervously, and the whips of the old sage king made Weng Guimi's flesh and blood blur, but he didn't even blink his eyes, which showed how hard-hearted he was.

Liu Ye smiled, she was not afraid of this fierce and vicious old sage king, according to his personality, if he wanted to cut her, he would do it directly, and he would not wait here.

Seeing Liu Ye and Lao Xianwang walking away, Chang Hui was so anxious that he wanted to chase after him to see what was going on, but Shizhong stopped him and shook his head.

Walking far enough away to make sure that no one else could hear their conversation, Lao Xianwang stopped and looked at Liu Ye coldly: "Long story short, Solang is about to get married, don't come to pester him." ”

Liu Ye said: "Don't worry, I won't come back until Chigu City is built." Even if I come back in the future, I won't look for him. ”

The old sage king nodded with satisfaction: "I hope you remember what you said today." ”

"Of course." Liu Ye didn't expect him to come to see him off, but after saying these words, there was nothing to say hello, "Then, take the first step to solve your worries." ”

The old sage king didn't stay, and after Liu Ye walked a few steps, he suddenly said: "I owe you a life, what does he need in the future, even if he comes to me, I don't like to owe favors." ”

Liu Ye didn't look back, and said with a faint smile: "The rescue that day was just out of instinct, and there was no extravagant hope that you would return this love, so you don't have to take it to heart, I wish you health!" ”

The old sage king watched her leave, and his eyes full of traces of time welled up with indescribable emotions.

Akaya Castle is the capital of Wusun, an important area of transportation and economy in the Western Regions, and knowing Akaya Castle well is equivalent to mastering the entire Wusun.

Jun Sumi strongly recommended Liu Ye, but those elders and ministers in the court just refused to buy it, if it weren't for Ubuji wanting her to stay away from Weng Guimi and helping to say a lot of good things, I'm afraid it would be difficult for Liu Ye to get his wish.

Leaving Weng Guimi and leaving the sad place, Chigu City is not only a good place for Liu Ye to heal her wounds, but also the best choice for her to display her ambitions.

Every day, caravans from all over the world passed through Chigu Castle, including secret envoys sent by the Han Dynasty, many eyeliners tracked by Wusun, including the vicious eagle claws lurking in the Xiongnu.

Here, Liu Ye and the others must maintain a high degree of vigilance, and if they are slightly negligent, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When he first saw Chigu City, Liu Ye thought of his favorite story "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" when he was a child, and the scene in the city resembled the Persian kingdom depicted in the book. The Anxi Dynasty of the same period as the Western Han Dynasty and Wusun was developed from the Persian Dynasty, which was famous for producing good horses since the Persian Dynasty, so Persia and the Western Regions provided excellent horses to other countries all year round.

Merchants from the Western Han Dynasty and Persia passed through Wusun Chigu City, and some settled here, and over time, every brick and tile of Chigu City had the shadow of Persia, except that the vast majority of Wusun people still maintained the tradition of the Western Regions, but the overall style was similar to Persia.

The narrow lanes paved with stones of different sizes are somewhat similar to the alleys of ancient Chinese towns, and the low earthen kilns on both sides of the paths are very exotic, but the small lattice-like doors and windows look awkward, and I really want to ask how the sturdy Wusun people live on weekdays.

These trails are so chaotic that you can't walk a few steps before you get lost. The crowded earthen kilns are spaced very little apart, and the air circulation is not good, and in the summer, they emit an unpleasant smell.

There is a trading market in Chigu City, where you can see all kinds of merchants, Han people wearing colorful silks, Persians selling leather goods, and people from other countries in the Western Regions selling snacks on the roadside. Not only are they gentle, but they also hire many locals to run errands for them, in short, what they are most interested in is making money!

In addition to the large number of people and money, the life of Akaya Castle is really incomparable to that of the grassland, and expansion is really necessary.

The residence arranged by Jun Xu for Liu Ye was on the outskirts of Chigu City, which was a hidden courtyard composed of several earthen kiln houses, which looked the same at first glance compared to the earthen kiln houses that could be seen everywhere in the city, but the internal structure was still very different. Each of these kilns had a special secret passage to facilitate the escape to the nearby mountains and forests in the event of an attack.

Such facilities are indeed indispensable in the many years of experience in warfare with foreign races.
