An Ze, the king of Loulan, when he first heard that the king of Great Qin was coming to visit Loulan, he was still suspicious, and he also guessed the intention of the king of Qin.

Although he had doubts, he was not worried, because the two countries were too far apart and had no communication with each other.

If it weren't for the Xiongnu and Xiqiang, the countries of the Western Regions would not even think about what they would have to do with the Chinese ethnic groups.

The legendary rich country is now full of wars and divisions, and the lives of the people are certainly not much better.

And there are rumors that the people of China only eat grain, and cannot afford to eat cattle and sheep.

If you look at it this way, the quality of life of the Chinese people is even worse than that of the Western Regions.

But today, when he saw the good things in China, King Loulan really liked it, and for a moment, he even wanted to follow the example of King Xiqiang and exchange the land for these fragrant tea, exquisite porcelain, and silk.

But fortunately, he held back.

But if you don't use the land to exchange, then you can only use gold, silver, jewelry, cattle, sheep and horses to exchange.

Thinking of this, King Loulan opened his mouth and said, "Since the cooperation between Loulan and Great Qin has reached a consensus, I ask King Qin to stay here for a while to determine the prices of various goods, and teach us the doorway of this tea and distinguish the types of silk and satin.

Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be so."

"Haha, okay, I have to meet King Qin today, this king is very happy, today I will invite King Qin to taste Loulan's mare's milk wine, we will not get drunk and return." King Loulan said with a smile.

King Xiqiang patted his stomach and said with a smile, "Your mare's milk wine, this king is not used to drinking it, but this king has brought his own goat's milk wine."

"Hehe, the widow also brought his own old Qin wine, so it's better for us to drink it instead of wine." Ying Zheng said.

The three of them laughed again.

Subsequently, the king of Loulan held a banquet to entertain the two kings and their subordinates.

The first time he tasted the palace food of this Loulan Kingdom, Ying Zheng felt quite fresh.

And Loulan's singing and dancing are also very distinctive, unrestrained and beautiful, elegant and harmonious, and everyone in China is fascinated and in a dream.

"King Qin, how do you feel about this song and dance?" King Loulan asked while he was drinking.

"Not bad!" Ying Zheng smiled, "This exotic style is really very different from Huaxia."

"Then wouldn't it be better for King Qin to take these singers back to relieve the boredom of the harem." King Loulan said.

"Well, that's not a bad note." Ying Zheng took a sip of wine and said.

"Then I don't know, these singers of this king can come back in exchange for a few silks."

Ying Zheng almost squirted the wine out of his mouth.

"Hahaha......" King Xiqiang laughed and said, "King Loulan, why don't you say that you can exchange this palace for how much silk you can exchange."

King Loulan: "......"

In this way, Yingzheng was kept for three more days, and all the sergeants also became tailors and tea masters.

The Great Elder of Yiqu has a place to use now, and along the way, he studied the tea ceremony when he had nothing to do, and talked to various sergeants about tea.

Now when it comes to teaching the tea ceremony to the Loulan people, he has of course become the most enthusiastic person.

There are a lot of generalists in the "Our Army", because most of them are composed of the Mengjia Army and the Praetorian Guard, so they are also people from the family who are both civil and military, and these things that spread Chinese culture are naturally not a problem.

Ying Zheng ordered people to use three boxes of silk to make a unique costume for each of the dozen concubines of the king of Loulan.

It is undeniable that this Loulan's unique costume, after being made of silk, is really brilliant and beautiful, and when worn on the body of the beauties of Loulan's harem, it looks even more enchanting and charming, and it is fascinating.

The concubines in the harem are all very happy, and between the battles, their charm is even more soulless.

Even happier than the harem is the king of Loulan, since he married these concubines one by one, it seems that this day,

It's their most beautiful day.

As for the matter of trade with Daqin,

These harem concubines naturally played a role in fueling the troubles, and from then on, the gusts of pillow wind would definitely blow and blow.

The countries of the Western Regions, the envious gazes cast from the harem, I don't know how much more.

King Loulan, the confidence to cooperate with Daqin is also stronger day by day.

Three days passed quickly, and Yingzheng and King Xiqiang also led their troops to wave goodbye to King Loulan.

And the most reluctant to leave Yingzheng seems to be the beauties of King Loulan's harem.

When can you send a few more sets of clothes, just this one, I am reluctant to take them off and change them.

This seems to be the collective voice of all Loulan harems.

"They have finished their work in Jingjue, and they will come back when they return to Daqin, during this time, you will comb and comb, if you want a few more clothes, take out some of the jewelry you usually save and exchange them with others." Throwing down a sentence, King Loulan sighed helplessly.

Yingzheng and the king of Xiqiang left Loulan City and marched all the way to the southwest.

King Xiqiang and Qiang Qi both told Yingzheng that the Western Regions were divided into two roads, north and south, and the north road was the road to Qiuzi, which was rich in products and many small countries along the way.

And the road to the south is the road to Khotan, passing through the end and the essence on the way.

As for the middle zone, the periphery is divided among the kingdoms, and the core of it is said to have a slow-rotating desert, from which for many years no one has ever returned alive.

Later, people gave it a name, called the Sand Mill Plate.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule among the kingdoms, that is, no one should go there easily, so as not to anger the gods and bring punishment to the Western Regions.

Over time, the Sand Mill became the only uninhabited place in the Western Regions, and it also became the most ancient and mysterious place.

When Ying Zheng first heard it, he thought it was quite strange, but then he thought about it carefully, whether it would have any connection with the dragon vein, after all, Jingjue was on the edge of it, and the reason why Jingjue chose to establish a country there was because he found the fire eye on the way to migrate a long time ago.

Since there is an eye of fire, it must be unusual.

However, everything has to be visited first.

Along the way, the speed was quite fast, and the team crossed the border of Loulan and entered the territory of Jimo.

There are no border gates, no garrisons to guard them, and the border between the two countries is not even a single obvious mark.

It's really indistinguishable from each other.

After the junction, there was a gentle hillside, and the king of Xiqiang ordered the team to stop and rest.

"Out of the border of Loulan, you will enter and end. Although the scenery here is generally the same as that of Loulan, the Mo people are aggressive by nature, and most of them live in the valley of the Mo River in the south." King Xiqiang introduced.

"Then we won't encounter any obstacles here, right?" Ying Zheng asked.

"It's hard to say." King Xiqiang said, "Loulan is a big country in the Western Regions, so the relationship with its neighbors is very ordinary, if it weren't for the northern states, Loulan might have sent troops long ago."

"Besides, Jingjue is the trade hub of the southern part of the Western Regions, and if the tribes in the north want to reach Jingjue, they must pass through Jima, so there are often scattered merchants who have been robbed of their property here."

"yes." Grand Elder Yiqu, who was sitting on the side, said, "In recent years, it has been better, when the old man was young, if he didn't go with a caravan of hundreds of people, he didn't dare to take that short road, so he could only detour from the edge of the north."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Then it seems that the relationship between this and the essence is also ordinary?"

"Not bad." King Xiqiang said, "The exquisite merchant traveler has been robbed this time, so who will dare to come next time."

"It seems that we need to take care of this matter." Ying Zheng thought about it and said, "After all, if Great Qin is to trade with the Western Regions in the future, how can it guarantee business travel

safety."

King Xiqiang smiled bitterly and said, "What King Qin said is reasonable, but it is quite difficult. Moreover, the number of the Mo tribe is small, and if there is an enemy attacking, they will all burrow into the Ajin Mountain in the south and wait for the enemy

After the people retreated, they returned to the banks of the Jimo River and lived as they always lived, which is why Loulan did not exterminate them."

"Loulan has no choice, maybe it's taking care of the situation." Ying Zheng's voice turned cold, "But we don't have anything to care about."

Thorin looked at Yingzheng in a daze: "Brother Wang?"

"Hehe, don't worry, the widows won't take the initiative to attack them." Ying Zheng sneered, "It's about letting them take the initiative to show up, so that they can work at ease."

"Hahaha, I see." Qiang Qi smiled, "Presumably, Brother Wang wants to use the caravan as bait, and then lure them out, and then try to capture them, so that they can't hide in the mountains."

I have to say that among all the people present, only Qiang Qi guessed Yingzheng's thoughts.

"Yes, you kid has insight." Ying Zheng turned his head to look at Meng Tian and said, "Pass the order, slow down the speed of the procession, and then send several groups of people to set off every half an hour.

"Wechen takes orders." Meng Tian arched his hand.

"Meng Yi." Ying Zheng looked at Meng Yi again.

"The minister is here." Meng Yi responded.

"Take your men and conceal them on the flanks, and make sure that these people who are acting as decoys are safe, and if they are hunted down, they are killed on the spot, and if they are only plundering goods, send two men to follow them secretly." Ying Zheng said.

"Command!"

After arranging his side, Yingzheng said to King Xiqiang again: "King Xiqiang, I also bother you to send a few people to spread some news, just say that some Chinese merchants have reached a deal with Loulan, and now they are rushing to Jingjue one after another to discuss a bigger business."

"Okay, haha." King Xiqiang said with a smile, "I didn't expect King Qin to really use his soldiers like a god, and in such a short period of effort, he came up with such a clever plan, not bad, not bad."

Immediately, the whole team slowed down, and within half an hour, the sergeants were still dressed in the clothes of a caravan, and set off one after another with their bulging bags.

Meng Yi led people to protect on the flanks.

The king of Xiqiang sent people to the homes of herdsmen he knew to spread the news.

The first wave of people did not rush or slow down, nor did they look around, but just bowed their heads and urged their horses to hurry.

Although everyone seems to be casual on the surface, they all have enough spirit.

Led by a centurion in the "Our Army", named Sun Qi, from time to time swept the movements in all directions with his residual light.

After traveling for more than an hour, I saw some movement in the direction of the right.

Sun Qi waved his hand, and at the same time slowed down his pace.

Suddenly, a whistle sounded for some reason, and suddenly a group of strangely dressed shepherds, about thirty or so, rushed out from that direction, all in unison urging their horses to rush towards this direction, brandishing machetes that looked a bit like axes.

"Withdraw!" Sun Qi let out a loud shout, and with the other four sergeants, he turned his horse's head and ran back.

Because of the cargo, the sergeant's horse would not be able to outrun the rushing horse team.

Sun Qi waved his hand, and at the same time unloaded his package and threw it back.

When the alien horse team behind saw that the people in front of them had thrown away their packages in order to survive, they stopped chasing them, stopped the horses, and surrounded more than ten packages on the ground.

Several aliens jumped off their horses, laughed and stepped forward to open the package, and when they saw the contents, they were all stunned, and immediately said something to the leader.

The leader also muttered a few words, then waved his hand, took all the packages, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
