Chapter 134: Anxi's Adventure
Li Siye smiled and praised: "Well, yes, yes, I slept very comfortably, Su He's family is not only fragrant with wine, but even the room is warm and comfortable, we slept very comfortably last night." ”
Fujimu's slightly dark eyes made a silent protest, and Suhrab couldn't turn a blind eye and asked him strangely: "Honored guest, didn't you sleep well last night?" Could it be that the maids in my house did not serve you well, or did someone disturb your sleep, I must ask about this matter. ”
"No, I'm not ......" Fujimaki hurriedly explained to the master: "It's not that the room in your mansion is uncomfortable, it's my own reason, I, that ......"
Li Siye interjected coldly, which was regarded as helping him out of the siege: "He has been missing his hometown very much recently, so he can't sleep." ”
"He's Japanese."
"That's right," Fujimaki nodded repeatedly, "I'm Japanese, and I really miss being away from home for so many years." ”
"Japan?" Suhrab was curious: "Is this a country?" If you don't say it, I really can't see that you look very close to Li Yuanjun. ”
As soon as Su He heard that Fujimu was not a Tang person, his respect immediately dropped a few points, and his feelings were troublesome for a long time, you are the same as me, you are a wandering traveler from the dead country. Anyway, in the past, my Persian Dynasty was still famous, and I have never heard of the name of Japan.
Li Siye was afraid that Suhrab would regret it, so he asked again about last night's request: "I drank a lot of wine last night, Suhe still remembers your promise." ”
"Remember, remember," Suhrab's face did not show the slightest embarrassment, nodded and said: "Li Yuanjun asked me to go to the Green Ridge to teach the soldiers guarding the city to plant cotton, and I will leave this morning, and I am ready." ”
Li Siye nodded approvingly: "Yes, it really deserves the name Suhrab, keeping his promise, and deserving of the name of a hero." ”
Suhrab had four wives in his family, all of whom were slender and graceful in satin, with light veils covering their faces, and they wept and wept around Sukh, as if they would not let their husbands go.
Li Siye watched with a smile, sitting on the sidelines and feeling comfortable, as if he was watching a family sitcom.
"Don't cry, I'm not being captured, it was Li Shou's envoy who asked me to go to Green Ridge to help him plant cotton, and he will naturally release me back after planting."
Fujimaki felt disgusted with this Suhe, not only because of the change in his attitude just now, but also because there were four or five wives who could be called beautiful women. Damn, isn't this kind of person annoying?
Suhe took two camels on the road, a white camel for camels, and the other for camel necessities, including delicate cowhide water bags, a silver boiled meat pot, a gilt bowl, and a pile of salted jerky, sheep felt and cashmere low-carbon, brocade quilt and cotton quilt, just from this set of travel equipment, it is known that this Suhe is a local tyrant.
The most expensive animal in the Western Regions is the camel, the price of the Turkic Dun horse and the Dawan horse is between 9,000 and 10,000 yuan, but the price of the Persian camel is 15,000 to 20,000 yuan, especially the snow-white white camel, which is even more priceless. Suhrab travels with these two camels, one white and one yellow, just like a modern person going out in a luxury sports car, and he turns back 100% on the streets of Qiuzi.
The three of them walked all the way to the southwest, walking on the official road opened up for business travel, this road is still relatively safe, there is a liaison station of the Tang army between Qiuzi and Shule Town, and there are also troops who change guards back and forth, and they can meet merchants from time to time, and they will not feel lonely at all.
On both sides of the official road are undulating green hills, and the green grass always gives people a refreshing beauty. Suhrab was in a wonderful mood, and kept praising in his mouth: "Anxi is the most beautiful place in the world, and we Persians regard it as our second home, and we sincerely hope that the Tang Army can protect this land forever and let us continue to do business forever." ”
Li Siye did not answer his words, it is always too heavy to talk about this kind of topic, although Li Siye has ideas in this regard, but it is only an idea, and it is better to look at many things before leaving.
A caravan appeared ahead, all wrapped in black cloth and wearing a white scarf on its face. When Suhrab saw these black-clothed food, he instinctively felt fear, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.
He whispered to Li Siye: "This is not a private caravan, among these people are the officials and nobles who eat big food. ”
"How do you think so?"
"Look at these people's swords, the gold-encrusted scabbards with crescent moon motifs on them."
Li Siye nodded and said loudly, "What are you afraid of?" Now you are on the land of my Datang, you are now my minister of the Tang Dynasty, even if the caliph is here, he has to whisper to me. ”
As soon as his words fell, the group of black-clothed merchants in front of him turned around, these people with high eyebrows and deep eyes, and their faces covered with scarves to cover their beards. Their eyes were already sunken, and their angry eyes seemed even more cold. However, they did not respond verbally, but continued on their way with their heads down.
Suhrab also saw that although these great cannibals were noble, they were probably supporters of the Abbasids, and that the power was still in the hands of the Umayyad dynasty, and they were still not the favorites.
This luggage heir Ye slowly slipped behind these big cannibals, anyway, the direction they were traveling should be Shule Town, the same route as Li Siye, just to help him explore the way.
Two days later, they came to the city of Sayd on the Silk Road, where they lived in a post house with these great cannibals. Li Siye still goes his own way, and always keeps his curiosity to eliminate the boredom of the journey.
On the second day, the Great Food Caravan set out on the road, and they also went on the road, along the Kashgar River to Shule Town, and the closer they got to the Green Ridge area, the more sparse the people became.
The members of the Great Food Caravan became cautious, and no matter how they walked, ate, or slept in the caravan, their right hands did not leave the hilt of their swords. Li Siye knew that their threat did not come from himself. He could also see that these people did not care at all about him, a Sogdian in disguise, and that not being defensive and not caring was the greatest contempt for him.
Li Siye took the initiative to slow down, and began to distance himself from these people, knowing that these people might be in trouble without looking.
Although he is a Datang officer, there is no need to be a ** for the big cannibal, and the opponent of the other party's caravan of more than 20 people must be more than this order of magnitude. The only thing he can do now is to stay away, but not too far, otherwise he won't see the wonderful battle footage, or the viewing experience will be too poor.
He kept predicting in his mind where the Great Food Caravan would encounter an ambush, and there were several dangerous passes in the road ahead, but they passed through it unharmed.
Li Siye felt incomprehensible, could it be that these people had paranoia of victimization? Being ambushed is just a matter of nothing.
There was a sudden whining and shouting at the river beach ferry to go, and Li Siye suddenly became excited, rode up the hill on horseback, and lay on the slope to look down.
Compound bows and arrows were fired from the dense forest opposite the ferry, knocking several merchants on camels into the water. Immediately after that, a group of caravans dressed in white rushed out of the dense forest, and they rushed towards the caravan on horseback with iron swords in their hands.
