Section 45 Thorns
Loulan City, the capital of Loulan State. In the small but antique Loulan Palace, an old man with a worried face is sitting in a beautiful living room and pondering. A rush of footsteps came from outside the door, and the door was suddenly pushed open, and a strange smell of flowers came to my nose.
The old man frowned, and couldn't help but say: "Qinna, you are almost eighteen years old, you should also pay attention to your own image, don't always be in a hurry, how can you be a lady?
The fiery figure that rushed in was the old man's daughter-Haritina, who was known as the Pearl of the Western Regions, and this old man was of course the contemporary chief of Loulan and the chief of Haibar, known as the fox of the grassland.
When you see the fiery red figure head-on, you will sigh at the injustice of the creator, maybe God has given the girl in front of you too much favor, so that she was born so beautiful. His dark brown curls were combed into several chic braids, his plump and round face was set with a pair of eyes as blue as the sea, his nose heel was high, his plump and delicate lips exuded a seductive luster, and he had snow-white fine teeth that always had a sunny smile. In particular, her snow-white skin has no flaws, and her whole face is like a work of art that is unparalleled in the world.
What's even more exciting is her proud figure, from the bottom up, the straight and slender thighs without a trace of fat, at first glance it is a lot of exercise, the upper end of the plump and round fat buttocks reach the waist and thinner sharply, forming an attractive bee waist, and on the upward is the towering and firm twin peaks, it is really hard to believe that she is still a girl under the age of eighteen.
As soon as she entered the room, she was greeted by a rich fragrance of flowers, which was refreshing. "Why is Daddy worried? Something is on his mind?" Gently running behind the old man and hugging his father's neck, the sweet voice of the heartfelt intestines was enough to intoxicate any man.
"Huh, why do you care about your father's affairs today? The sun is coming out in the west?" Hayibal slightly stretched his deeply wrinkled forehead and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you go horseback riding today?"
"Alas, my brother doesn't go to accompany others, and it's not much fun to ride a horse alone on a cold day. The girl retracted her hand, and a delicate horsewhip made of calf tendons skillfully retracted into her hand
"Your brother has important things, where is like you, you know crazy all day long, I think it's better to find someone to marry you as soon as possible. Haybal feigned anger.
"No, my father is reluctant to let me go, I don't want to marry, I want to accompany my father and mother for the rest of my life. The girl said coquettishly.
"Silly girl, how can there be a girl who doesn't marry? However, as long as our Loulan people have always been free to marry, and my father and mother will not interfere in your marriage, as long as you are satisfied, it doesn't matter who you find. Haybar had a loving smile on his face.
"Thank you, Dad, but I don't want to do that yet. Haritina's face spread a happy smile.
"You are not small anymore, you should also think about your own affairs, if you are not satisfied with the young men of our Loulan Kingdom, there are many talents in other countries in our Western Regions. Hayibal said with concern to his own pearl.
"Why do you have to be in our Western Regions? can't other countries?" a touching blush appeared on the girl's white and delicate cheeks.
"Oh, do you really want to marry a stranger? You must know that there is a proverb in the Tanghe people, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, and when the time comes, it will not be difficult for me and your mother to see you?"
"I didn't say that I had to find outsiders, but Daddy, where can you find any men worth mentioning in our Western Regions?"
Hayibar didn't know about this situation, but from various angles, he hoped that his beloved daughter could marry in the region or recruit him, which would be more in line with the interests of Loulan Kingdom, but he didn't want to disobey his daughter's wishes, so he had to do his daughter's ideological work.
"How can you say that? Isn't your eldest brother one of them? And the eldest prince of Gaochangguo is not bad. Hayibar smiled and persuaded Haritina.
"Of course the eldest brother can be counted as one, but I really don't know the others. Gao Changguo's one is about to be mentioned, timid and cowardly, just like his father, what a man!" said Haritina, pouting.
Haybar's face also became solemn, obviously aroused by his daughter's words. He shook his head and disagreed with his daughter's opinion, "Qinna, each country is in different positions and has different actual situations, and it is not possible to infer the right or wrong of its actions simply from its performance. Gaochang Kingdom is located in the Luope people and the Mote people and the Tanghe Empire power transfer zone, whether it is the Luope people or the Mote people, their military strength is far more than the Gaochang country, and the new rise of the empire in the northwest of the strongman Li Wufeng is even more extraordinary, extremely ambitious, has long sharpened his knife Huo Huo, waiting for the opportunity to extend his claws into our Western Regions. In such a situation, even if I am in that corner, I will be cautious and will rather compromise than let the enemy find an excuse to use force. It is a major matter related to the net worth of the people of the whole country, and it cannot be ignored in the slightest. You may not understand these things now, but you will understand them when you reach our age. β
Seeing that her father was provoked to be sad, Haritina was also a little sad, her father had worked hard for many years, pursuing the policy of Taoguang and cultivating his strength, so that the national strength of Loulan State in this generation surpassed other countries in the Western Regions to become the most powerful country in the Western Regions, but compared with other major forces in the surrounding areas, there was still a considerable gap, so he actively befriended Luzon to the south, and tried to avoid conflicts with the Luope people in the north, while within the Western Regions, he strongly advocated strengthening unity and unity to the outside world, and gradually became the leader of the countries in the Western Regions.
However, the heavy pressure also made Haybar grow old and energetic, and his eldest brother was strong and strong, and he had the courage of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, which made Haybar happy and deeply uneasy, fearing that it would cause hostility from foreign enemies and thus affect the interests and security of the country.
While combing her father's somewhat disheveled hair and sideburns, Haritina comforted her father: "Daddy, don't worry too much, as long as our countries in the Western Regions are united, I think whether it is the Luobei people or that Li Wufeng, if they want to fight any kind of ghost ideas, I'm afraid they have to think about it." β
Hayibar smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Qinna, you are underestimating those two families too much. The Luope people have a land radius of thousands of miles, a population of millions, and their ethnic group has the traditional habit of going out for the army and entering for the people, their military strength far exceeds that of our Western Regions countries, and there are also many good ministers and fierce generals in their tribe who are unwilling to wait for her, and their great chief Wadeya is not a good person, he is insatiable, and he is really the number one enemy of our Western Regions countries; and the Li Wufeng in the west is even more unusual and idle, and he is even better at playing conspiracy and tricks, sowing discord, threatening and luring, falling into the well, fishing in troubled waters, and driving tigers and wolves, these tricks are his forteγ What's more, he also has considerable strength, and in my opinion, this person will be a threat to our Western Regions in the future, far surpassing the Luope people, and will become our henchmen. β
Thinking of this, Hayibar felt like a thorn in his back, and a chill involuntarily appeared on his spine.
Seeing that her father was so troubled, Haritsyna had no other way to ease his heart, so she had to gently massage his head to relieve his tension, but Hayibar went straight down and said: "You see that he smelled an opportunity in Luzon this time, and immediately sent troops to Northern Luzon to take advantage of the opportunity. With that, Haybar sighed.
"Since we can't compete with him, let's do our best to befriend him, so that we can avoid being attacked on our backs. Haritsyna hesitated for a moment.
Hayibal's eyes lit up suddenly, and then dimmed again, "I'm afraid it's difficult, this person has long been looking down on our Western Regions for a long time, and he is unwilling to give up his plans for some petty profits, as you can see from the fact that he categorically broke off the negotiations with our alliance and reached an agreement with the Luope people instead, and his intelligence personnel are also becoming active in our Western Regions countries, and his wolf ambitions are clearly revealed." β
"Then we don't have any other way to deal with him?" Haritina, too, was infected by her father's heavy atmosphere, and her voice was lowered, thinking that her homeland would be ravaged and conquered by foreign invaders, and it was difficult for anyone to accept it emotionally.
"Silly girl, don't be stupid, that will only give him a better excuse. As the emperor of the soil of a place, he has many subordinates and a group of guards, how can he be defenseless?! I heard that some time ago, the Phantom Phoenix Sect didn't know what to do, and actually wanted to assassinate Li Wufeng, but ended up losing all the games, and I don't know who supported them to do such a stupid thing behind them? But the strange Li Wufeng didn't take this opportunity to attack, which makes me very puzzled, maybe this guy has a more powerful backhand. Haybar thought for a long time after speaking.
"Daddy, don't be too worried, the car has its own road in front of the mountain, I think that Li Wufeng is not three heads and six arms, but he is also a person, does he have no weaknesses? We can observe and analyze more, find out his weaknesses, and then slowly figure them out. Haritsyna's face flashed with an unyielding glint.
"Division commander, there's the Green Sea Swamp over there. Helenbo rode up to the top of the hill, and as far as the western horizon could be seen, the end of the horizon, and in the early winter, it was a vague verdant color.
"Well, it's basically safe to get here, and I've finally successfully completed the task assigned by the adults. In other words, thanks to the reconnaissance and planning of this kid Ling Fox Wing, he can do it so beautifully. Liang Chongxin drove his horse to a high place, his face was dusty, but he couldn't hide the pride in his heart.
"Yes, this guy Ling Fox Wing is really speechless, this time we only lost less than a thousand men and horses in this raid, but we wiped out all the food, grass and supplies of the Kominis, I think what that Solon would be like when he saw a supply base in ruins? By the way, division commander, after going back, you must ask Master Li for Linghu Wing's first credit. Helenbo's dark face lit up with excitement.
Liang Chongxin nodded with satisfaction, to be honest, he was very satisfied with his assistants, after two years of training, they have become capable talents who can take charge of themselves. Helian Bo's style of work is brave and tenacious, and he is also very knowledgeable and detailed, and has the demeanor of a general; while the chief of staff Ling Fox Yi is cool-headed, proficient in planning, and has a unique vision, and often has extraordinary plans, and can always receive excellent results; while Qu Bo, director of the logistics department, has been promoted from the rank of wing commander to accumulate military merits, and not only can perfectly complete his own work, but also has considerable military skills, and is a rare all-round cadre.
What satisfies Liang Chongxin the most is that several people were able to unite as one, and they cooperated with each other very tacitly, so that the combat effectiveness of the First Division had the posture of secluding itself in the first place among the main forces without a front.
"Helian, let's camp here today, although the danger zone has been removed, be careful, you go and arrange a guard. β
"Good. Helenbo's eyes were still fixed on the west.
