Chapter 520: Loulan

Chapter 520 Loulan, for the people of later generations, is an extremely mysterious kingdom in the Western Regions.

The Kingdom of Loulan has left too many myths and legends to the world, some say that Loulan is the kingdom of immortals, and some say that the gold, silver and jewelry left by Loulan are enough to cover the desert.

Anyway, all kinds of legends are indeed very fascinating, but in the final analysis, Loulan is still a country established by one person, not the so-called kingdom of immortals.

Lou Wang may have a lot of gold and silver jewelry, but he is not rich, because in the desert, gold and silver jewelry are far less precious than water and trees.

A big reason why Loulan was able to unify the desert was that the previous king of Loulan occupied all the oases and water sources in the desert of the Western Regions, which was equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the desert.

The current King of Loulan also knows the whole truth, so compared with the previous King of Loulan, the current King of Loulan attaches more importance to it.

Not only that, King Loulan also attached importance to foreign exchanges, married his own sister to Daqin and relatives, and strengthened ties and business contacts with Daqin.

Vigorously buy goods from Daqin, and then sell them at a high price to the western countries, that is, Central and West Asia, to earn a high price difference to buy water and vegetation.

King Loulan even put forward the idea of desert greening in later generations, of course, King Loulan said that it was to expand the oasis and fight for water.

After many years, Zarelina once again set foot on the land of the Western Regions. Previously, Qin Xi led a large army all the way along the border of the Xiongnu to the border of Loulan in the Western Regions.

On the border, Qin Xi took Zarelina's hand and said, "This time you go back to the Western Regions, not as a princess of the Western Regions, but as the crown princess of Great Qin, and even more so as an envoy of Great Qin." ”

"I know, I am from Daqin, and the first consideration of everything I do should be the interests of Daqin, I know." Zazhelina said.

Qin Xi grabbed Zarelina's hair and said, "I didn't mean that, I mean, there is a powerful Great Qin behind you, and you don't have to grovel in the face of anyone." ”

"Your husband, I know that you were often bullied in Loulan before, but whoever bullies you now, I won't agree, and Daqin won't agree."

"Husband!" Zarelina suddenly threw herself into Qin Xi's arms. Qin Xi hugged Zarelina and said to the old woman: "Take care of the crown princess, go to Loulan, whoever dares to bully the crown princess will come back and tell me." Although Loulan can dominate the Western Regions, my Great Qin's artillery can also raze it! ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, with the old slave here, no one can bully the crown princess." The old woman said. After the two said goodbye, Zarelina turned around and walked towards Loulan, while Qin Xi led the army and continued to march in the direction of the Tianshan Mountains.

The national capital of Loulan is above the Loulan Oasis, which is an oasis that has disappeared in later generations. The unique topography of this place has created a unique climate, which is a rare tropical rainforest climate in the desert.

The desert outside the oasis is the city wall of Loulan. Loulan soldiers, both men and women, patrolled the perimeter of the oasis with weapons in hand to prevent outsiders from entering the oasis and destroying the oasis.

Suddenly, the patrolling soldiers spotted a team in the desert approaching here.

"Someone! Alert! The surrounding soldiers rushed over and surrounded them. The people who came were none other than Zazhelina and others.

Zarelina grabbed the old woman, took off her veil and said, "Don't you know me?" ”

"Celestial Princess!" The leader of the generals was shocked when he saw Zazhelina. Zarelina said, "Take me to the king of Loulan, I have something important to discuss." ”······ In the palace of Loulan King, King Loulan is cooling off in the pool.

It's almost winter, but the daytime temperature is still very high, and it is only at night that the temperature drops.

King Loulan has snow-white skin and a proud figure, which is somewhat similar to Zarelina, but King Loulan has the unique temperament of a king, and he looks more majestic.

Suddenly, a palace maid walked in, knelt on the ground and said cautiously: "King Qiqi, Princess Zare is back?" King Loulan's original expression of enjoyment changed suddenly, and his eyebrows were already wrinkled.

King Loulan turned his back to the palace maid and asked, "Didn't she marry into Daqin?" What to do when you come back now? ”

"The slave maid doesn't know, Princess Zare just said that she asked to see the king, and she has something to discuss with the king." The palace maid said.

"If this king were her, she wouldn't be back here in this life." The king of Loulan stood up naked from the pool, and as he walked ashore, he said, "Tell her that this king has been in retreat for the past few days, and he will not be able to see him for the time being, so it is obvious that the general will go to entertain her." ”

"Yes, my lord." The palace maid slowly withdrew after receiving the order. King Loulan put on a thin silk robe under the service of the palace maid, and said with a smile: "I really envy my sister, I went to Daqin, this silk, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it up in this life." "Agujina, the general of Loulan, is the most trusted person of the King of Loulan, and she is also the woman with the highest status in the Kingdom of Loulan except for the King of Loulan, and she can even sleep in the same bed with the King of Loulan.

The last person Agugina wants to see is the eldest princess Zazhelina, because Agugina's mother died to protect Zazhelina.

The king of Loulan asked Agugina, the general, to entertain Zarelina, obviously to ask Agugina to make things difficult for Zazhelina.

After Zarelina saw Agujina, she immediately understood her sister's plan, but now she is no longer the previous Loulan princess Zarelina, but the crown princess Zarelina of Daqin.

"The eldest princess married Qin Di far away, why did she come back today? Could it be that he was driven back by the Qin people? When Agugina saw Zazhelina, she began to taunt.

Not wanting to bother with her, Zazhelina asked, "The king?" When will you see me? Agugina said, "The king is in retreat, and I won't be able to see you in this day." If the eldest princess wants the king to help you seek justice from the Qin people, then don't think about it, the trade between Loulan and the Qin people is very important. "The implication is already very clear, that is, you are not important, princess, Loulan will not offend a country because of you.

Zarelina took out Qin Xi's token and said, "I am now on the order of the Great Qin Prince, and I have come to see King Loulan to discuss important matters, and I hope you can convey it to King Loulan again." Agugina was also stunned when she saw the token, although she didn't know the token, but she didn't dare to deny it, what if it was true.

Agugina's face turned straight and asked, "If you have anything important to discuss with the king, you tell me first, and then I will report to the king." Zarelina thought for a while and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Qin, I hope that Loulan will send troops to jointly exterminate the Xiongnu army." Agugina was startled, then frowned, and turned away without saying a word.

This matter is an extremely important matter, and it is not something that she can decide as a great general.
