Chapter 5 Dawan Guishan City
Updated: 20110616
The morning glow is like a rainbow, the blue sky is like a wash, Tu Qitang and Liu Ye embarked on a trip around the Western Regions, Tu Qitang rode a camel in front of the road, the attendants on both sides of the horse held high a bright yellow gilt canopy to shade him, the entourage was mighty and could not be seen at a glance, and the maid guards were all gorgeously dressed, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple were colorful and dazzling, and they could simply form a circus team. γLatest chapter reading. There are hundreds of sturdy camels and horses, all of which are majestic and majestic, and the carloads of cargo boxes are heavy and shining, showing the prosperity and strength of the Sabbath Dynasty everywhere.
After the military beard was unwilling, although Wusun did not rest and became rich, it was about the majesty of the country, even if he slapped his face and became fat, he had to hold up the scene. He prepared hundreds of horses to see Liu Ye off, originally wanted to use a good breed horse to compare with the other party's camels, but in the end, he was still reluctant to do so after a long time, so he replaced it with an ordinary Mongolian horse. There are more than 100 Wusun attendants and Han attendants in total, and more than a dozen carriages with curtains closed look very weighty, but in fact, there are only things brought by Liu Ye himself in the carriage. This set of equipment is a little rudimentary compared to Tu Qitang's convoy, but it can also show that Wusun is one of the powerhouses in the Western Regions.
Eliminating the tedious send-off ceremony, the military beard reluctantly waved goodbye to his "beloved wife", no matter how he looked at it, it looked like he was acting. The convoy gradually left the grassland, and Liu Ye's mood became much more relaxed, spreading out the map of the Western Regions and studying the terrain of several surrounding countries.
"Princess, which country are we going to go to first" Feng Yan took the maltose that Zhao Sheng had boiled overnight, dipped it with a chopstick, skillfully spun it into a lollipop and handed it to the young man, and explained softly, "County Lord, eat slowly, you can only eat so much today." β
The young man sipped his mouth, stared at the lollipop with expectant eyes, carefully took the chopsticks, put them to his mouth and licked them, got up, and nodded obediently: "Okay, I can't eat too much candy, otherwise there will be insects biting my teeth." β
"That's right, the county lord is so smart" Feng Yan touched her round little face dotingly, and carefully held the chopsticks, "I'll give you something to eat, the carriage is bumpy, in case it pokes your face, it's not good." β
"Sister Xiao, you like children very much, don't you" Liu Ye looked at them with a smile and pretended to ask unintentionally.
"Yes, I like it, don't forget that I took care of you when you were a child, even though I was only three years older than you." Feng Yan's eyes never left the young husband, and she wiped her mouth very patiently, with a happy smile on her lips, "It's a lot of fun to see the children grow up, princess, you will understand in the future." β
"Now I'm also very happy" Liu Ye rubbed the young man's soft hair, "The young man is my daughter, and my wish is to let her live carefree, and when she grows up, she can maintain a childlike heart and be happy and healthy for a lifetime." I don't expect her to be talented, nor do I expect her to be successful in the future. β
"Well, when you say this, you know that you are your own daughter when you are a young husband, and the requirements of parents for their children are very simple, that is, to be healthy and happy, and to live the life they want to live. I really envy you, you have such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter. β
"Hehe, sister sister, don't envy me" Liu Ye looked at her meaningfully and smiled, "You can also give birth to one, there is no family planning here, and no one cares if you want to have a few." β
Feng Yan realized that she had dug a pit and jumped into it, and was teased by Liu Ye again, and blushed and scolded lightly: "You are talking nonsense again, I didn't mean that, cough cough, is there anyone who cares about family planning and childbirth?"
Liu Ye didn't know how to explain the issue of family planning to her, she was an only child, and she often heard her parents say that she responded to the call for eugenics, and later when she took the tour group out, the bus passed through the countryside, and you could see the white or red paint on the courtyard wall with crooked writing "Only one child is good".
"No one cares about having children here, but there are some places that are more special, so there is such a saying." Liu Ye understated the past perfunctorily, this was not the focus of their discussion, and the explanation could not be explained clearly.
Liu Ye changed the topic and raised his chin out of the window: "General Chang is loyal and honest, he is a candidate worthy of trust, sister sister, do you want to think about it?"
Feng Yan bit her lip in shame and hurriedly covered the young master's ears: "Oh, look at you, talk nonsense in front of the child"
Liu Ye stuck out his tongue and sat back in place with the young man who was still licking his tongue: "I didn't say anything, and there is no restrictive word, even if it is published online, it will not be blocked." β
Feng Yan didn't hear what she said clearly, touching her hot cheeks, her heart was beating fast, she quickly glanced out of the window, and then lowered her head. Feng Yan's appearance was already obvious, Liu Ye knew in his heart, knowing that she was too conservative to make jokes, so he didn't tease her.
"Tu Qitang said, let's go to Dawan first, I heard that the king is about to celebrate his birthday, and many tribal leaders have sent messengers to send gifts, and the king also told me to send a congratulatory gift at that time."
"Oh, that's a coincidence, the king even saved sending a messenger to send congratulatory gifts, everything is represented by you, princess, by the way, is the gift prepared by him, shouldn't it be prepared by you?"
Liu Ye shrugged indifferently: "Whoever prepares is the same, I represent not only Wusun, I am the princess of the Han Dynasty, the etiquette is in place, isn't it to add glory to the Han Dynasty." β
"Alas, it is also said that we are self-reliant and cannot count on others." Feng Yan's emotions calmed down, she pondered for a while, and then said, "Princess, don't you think Tu Qitang is a little familiar with this person, I know that he has saved Master Shi and Qingling, but I always feel that I have seen him before." β
"You feel it, yes, we've seen him before, do you remember that time in the hot springs, when you were bitten by a poisonous snake on your foot. In fact, before Qing Ling bandaged you, someone had already treated your wounds, and Qing Ling thought it was me, but how could I have that ability. β
Feng Yan suddenly realized: "You mean, the person who killed the snake is him, Prince Tuqitang"
Liu Ye never intended to hide it from her: "Well, it's him." β
"Oh my God, how could this be, as a prince, he sneaked into the forest in the middle of the night to see people take a bath, although he saved me, but I still have to say, this person is not right, princess, why didn't you say it earlier, I knew he was this kind of person, and I said that I wouldn't let you go with him." The more Feng Yan thought about it, the more wrong it became, her eyes widened in horror, and she stared at Liu Ye without blinking, "You say, could this be a conspiracy that Jun Sumi discussed with him?"
The young man who was lying in Liu Ye's arms closed his eyes slightly, and fell asleep contentedly, Liu Ye patted her back gently, seeing that Feng Yan was so panicked, he shook his head disapprerovingly, and said with a smile: "No, Jun Sumi is not qualified to be at the mercy of Tu Qitang, it should be said that Tu Qitang will not be at the mercy of anyone." β
"Are you sure" Feng Yan was still not very relieved.
"If you come here, you will be safe, you can't hide from what you should come, it's useless to worry. Sister Xiao, I know that you are afraid of Jun Sumi, but it doesn't mean that everyone is his minions, anyway, I don't think Tu Qitang will be the next Ubuji. Liu Ye picked up the young man, gently put her on the mattress, and pulled the thin quilt over to cover her, "The day we left Chang'an City, we had already put life and death aside, and we could do more things now, what else was there to worry about?"
Feng Yan's nose was sour, and she reached out to wrap her shoulder: "Yes, I always remember that no matter whether it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire, I will accompany you to break through." β
Dawan is in the northeast of Wusun, and it is also one of the powerful countries in the Western Regions, with more than 70 large and small subordinate towns and a population of hundreds of thousands. Dawan as early as Zhang Qian's first mission to the Western Regions to establish diplomatic relations with the Han Dynasty, Dawan is famous for its abundant sweat and blood, actively learn the knowledge of agriculture, planting rice and wheat has been popularized among the people, but unfortunately in 104 B.C., the horse change turmoil, resulting in the two sides turned against each other, the Han envoy was killed, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to conscript, after four years to conquer Dawan, making it a vassal country.
The Han successfully won a thousand sweat and blood horses, and most of them became first-class war horses after training, and the sweat and blood horses were tall and handsome, with good patience and high understanding, and were impeccable as mounts, but its weight-bearing capacity could not be compared with Mongolian horses, so this kind of BMW could only be kept as a general-level mount.
It is rumored that there is a high mountain near the city of Dawan Ershi, there are wild horses on the mountain, running like flying, galloping like electricity, every spring, as long as the five-colored mare is placed under the mountain, attracting wild horses to mate with it, mating, and it is the sweat and blood BMW that travels thousands of miles a day.
Of course, it is impossible to determine whether this legend is true, but it is undeniable that the sweat and blood BMW is a legend in the eyes of the world.
In the evening, Liu Ye and his entourage came to Guishan City, the capital of Dawan, and what was surprising was that the scene in the city was similar to Chang'an City, although the scale was smaller and the city wall was shorter, but it was also the most sinicized place in the Western Regions.
The shops and restaurants on both sides of the street are brightly lit, and the streets are bustling with pedestrians, and the level of activity is comparable to that of Wusun Akatani Castle.
Liu Ye and Feng Yan lifted the curtain and looked out, even the young man opened his eyes wide with interest, the appearance of the Dawan people who came and went on the road was like carved out of a mold, both men and women were thin and long-faced and had deep eye sockets, the men all had big beards, and the women's voices were sharp, bargaining on the roadside was as fluent as a storyteller.
"Hey, princess, have you heard that the women here in Dawan have a very high status, they are usually the heads of the family, not only control the financial power, but also they are in charge of big and small affairs, and the men dare not disobey."
Liu Ye listened to it interestingly: "Yes, who did you listen to, I know a place that is similar to here."
Feng Yan said very seriously: "Of course it's true, Dawan's customs are different from Dahan's, here are all wives who have the final say, and husbands are obedient, you know where Dawan is similar"
"Isn't this the case in some places in the Great Han" Liu Ye wanted to say that the Great Han two thousand years later, but he didn't expect that there would be such a custom as early as Dawan in the Western Regions.
Feng Yan pouted: "How can there be, the women of our Han Dynasty generally have to listen to their husbands, what three obedience and four virtues are to restrain women, have you ever seen whose women show off their martial arts except for the golden branches and jade leaves of the royal family"
Liu Ye smiled and did not comment, Feng Yan continued: "You don't know yet, Elder Wusun Saqiri's concubine is a Dawan person, she told me that the daughter of a big family here is very amazing, and you can send a maid to test your future husband before you get married, if that doesn't work, you can withdraw from the marriage."
"That's not good" Liu Ye was stunned, and when he saw Feng Yan's face blushing again, he immediately reacted, "No, it's actually open to this extent."
Feng Yan laughed embarrassedly: "She told me, she is from Dawan, she shouldn't talk nonsense."
Liu Ye was shocked as a modern person, not to mention the big man thousands of miles away, even if the big man two thousand years later, no one would blatantly test his future husband like this, at most, he would secretly try it before marriage, if it really doesn't work, he won't mention the marriage thing, how can anyone send someone to try it
"Princess, here we are"
Shizhong called softly outside the carriage, and Liu Ye realized that the carriage had stopped, and he answered the call and prepared to get off.
