Since Shao Xi said that he had a way to get Loulan Guo to take the initiative to hand over the matter of free-range horses to Sha Zhiguo, Aziz didn't ask Shao Xi too much what method he would use?

Since Shao Xi was so confident, he believed that Shao Xi naturally had his way, so he nodded and agreed.

However, at present, the two sides have only verbally agreed, and if the Saori Kingdom wants to cooperate with the Jingyuan Empire, it must also be able to express its attitude to the Jingyuan Dynasty in a written form.

Otherwise, people have two skins on their mouths, and what they say is good today may be changed tomorrow.

Although this document was not an alliance or a secret treaty signed between the two countries, it at least showed the determination of the Shaori Kingdom to cooperate with the Jingyuan Empire.

Listening to Shao Xi's request, Aziz did not hesitate, and ordered someone to take a lamb skin, and wrote on this sheepskin a request for help and a promise of cooperation to the Jingyuan Empire, and also stamped his own seal.

With this parchment scroll, after Shao Xi returned to the Jingyuan Empire, he had a certificate of cooperation between the Shazhi Kingdom and the Jingyuan Dynasty, and it was also convenient to explain everything that happened here to Xiao Changyi.

Shao Xi believes that Xiao Changyi will not give up cooperation with Sha Zhiguo because the price to be paid for this matter is a bit big.

Since he has plans to expand his territory in the future, he will naturally not let go of the opportunity to lay out in advance.

After Shao Xi put away the parchment roll, he instructed Aziz on some details.

For example, when they first received the news that Loulan asked them to help herd up the horses, they had to show some reluctance, and then use this to propose the conditions of water sources and salt lakes to Loulan Guo.

After telling the matter, Shao Xi and the three of them got up and said goodbye, they are only temporarily settled in this Shaweaving Country now, and the ultimate goal is to go to Loulan Country, it is really not appropriate to delay here for too long.

Aziz repeatedly instructed Shao Xi to put away the parchment scroll, because if this document was discovered by Loulan Kingdom, it would be evidence of his secret understanding of the Jingyuan Empire in the Central Plains, and it would bring ruin to Shazhi Kingdom.

Shao Xi also understood his worries, and after some appeasement, he left Aziz's "palace" with Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er and returned to the inn.

The innkeeper was relieved to see that the three of them had come back safe and sound.

After all, if they do something outside, they will eventually find out that they have settled in his shop, and they will inevitably get themselves into trouble when the time comes.

Shao Xi and the others returned to the store and didn't say anything to the shopkeeper, and went straight back to their rooms to rest.

Early the next morning, the three of them packed up and set off again and left the country of Saori.

Sha Zhi Guo and Loulan Guo were next to each other, so when the three of them left Sha Zhi Country, they also entered Loulan Country.

Loulan is much bigger than Sha Zhiguo, and on the way to the capital Loulan Ancient City, it took almost two days.

The territory of Loulan seems to be much stronger than that of Shaweaving, at least the territory of Loulan is rich in water and grass, the water source is abundant, and there are free-range Western horses everywhere.

This made Shao Xi look greedy, everything in the Central Plains was good, except for the lack of good horses.

Although many people have been trying to find a way to introduce high-quality horses to the Central Plains for so many years, it is strange to say that no matter how they are bred and reproduced, these horses will seem to be genetically degraded after arriving in the Central Plains.

After several generations of breeding, it is always inferior to the generation, so the cavalry of the Central Plains has always been a baby pimple.

It was not that there was a lack of cavalry talent, but that there was a lack of good horses to form too large a cavalry team.

However, the wild of this Loulan country can be seen everywhere in the West Turkic horses, if these horses can be transported back to the Central Plains and used well, the powerful cavalry will be a sharp weapon for the future Jingyuan Empire to expand its territory.

After entering the Western Regions for so long and walking so many roads, the journey of less than two days is already inappropriate for Shao Xi and the others.

A few people came to the ancient city of Loulan, the city wall architecture here is very different from the style of the Central Plains, and it is not at all like Wuhai City, and you can still see some of the styles of the Central Plains architecture.

At first glance, this ancient city of Loulan is typical of the Western Regions, with guards wrapped in turbans standing on the high white stone walls.

Walking into the city, the houses in the city are also made of white stone, although most of them are still flat-roofed houses, but there are many more spire buildings, which look very eye-catching and different.

The streets of the castle are also paved with stone slabs, and they look much cleaner, spacious, and more luxurious than in Saori Province.

There are also some merchants who come and go here.

There are people from the Central Plains from the East, local people from the Western Regions, and merchants from distant countries in the West.

The goods sold by Westerners are extremely rare in the Central Plains, or even never seen before, although they look less fine than those in the Central Plains in terms of workmanship, but there are many strange shapes and peculiar appearances.

There are many things that even Shao Xi can't recognize.

These people in the ancient city of Loulan spoke in a south-to-north tone, and Shao Xi couldn't understand what many people said.

According to the geographical division of the modern world in Shao Xi's mind, he guessed that many people here should have come here from the continent called Europa.

There should be many people who want to go to the mysterious empire in the East to do business or explore, but this journey is really long, the environment along the way is harsh, and the language barrier is not comprehensible, so many people stop here.

After all, even with the best camels, it's not easy to traverse things.

Shao Xi took Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er to lead the camel, looking at the people in strange costumes on the street and the dazzling goods on both sides of the street, and forgot for a while the fatigue of the two days on the road.

After turning around for a long time, I finally remembered that I had to find a place to settle down first, otherwise it would not be so easy to wait until it was dark to find it.

So a few people came to an alley and finally found an inn.

Although this Lancheng is an ancient city, after so many years, the houses in the city are still as strong as ever.

A few people stayed in the inn, after dinner, it was dark, and lights were lit everywhere in the city, this very exotic night view of the ancient city, Shao Xi really didn't want to miss it.

Besides, I also want to go out and inquire to see if anyone knows the whereabouts of Avrele, and if I find him, I can find Guan Yucheng's bones.

So as soon as he finished dinner, Shao Xi took Lao Wu and Wu Qiu'er to the street to chat and stroll, enjoying the night scenery of the ancient city of Loulan.

Although it is not like Daliang City, a street that can't walk for half a day, it is also a big city, and it really takes a lot of time to go shopping.

As the three of them walked, they suddenly heard a noise coming from a house in front of them, and when they got closer, they heard someone inside shouting loudly, shouting, and even the sound of chickens and dogs.

A guy standing at the door saw Shao Xi and a few people stop to watch, and hurriedly greeted him.

"How many guests, but how many do you want to come in and play? We are here to connect the big and small, honest and fair! Look at a few people with red faces, prosperous fortune, if you come in to play a few hands, it must be prosperous! ”

Shao Xi only understood when he heard this person, it turned out that this was a gambling house, no wonder it sounded so lively inside, gambling people were excited, where could they control their voices?

Originally, Shao Xi planned to turn around and leave and bet on this thing, firstly, he was not interested, and secondly, he had never gambled, and he was simply a rookie.

People say that nine out of ten bets are lost, and he doesn't want to give money to others at the gambling table.

But Lao Wu secretly pulled him next to him, and Shao Xi looked at Lao Wu with some confusion.

Lao Wu whispered to Shao Xi: "We are not familiar with the place when we first arrived here, if we really want to inquire about the whereabouts of Avrele, we can start from such a place."

"Most of the people who hang out in the gambling houses are well-informed, so we might as well go in and try our luck."

Shao Xi felt that there was some truth when he heard this, but he still glanced at Lao Wu more, and said in his heart, did this old guy really ask me to go in to find someone?

"Old fellow, tell me the truth, do you have some itchy hands and want to go in and play a few games in the name of finding someone?"

Seeing that Shao Xi had seen through his thoughts, Lao Wu smiled cheekily and quibbled: "Since you are going in to find someone!" You can't just walk in and ask people if they've ever seen Avger.

"You have to go to the table to get closer to people before we can talk, so we can take the opportunity to ask what we want to know while chatting?"

Although Shao Xi knew that this old guy was making excuses for himself, he couldn't deny that what he said made sense.

There are no people in vain in this world, if you want to inquire about the news, you always have to pay some price, whether you win or lose, you have to get to know people before you can talk, right?

"Okay! If you have a point, let's go in and have a look. ”

Saying that, Shao Xi walked towards the gambling house, the guy hurriedly led the way for a few people in front, and Lao Wu followed behind Shao Xi happily.

Back then, on the rivers and lakes, Lao Wu didn't go to this kind of place, but he quit these vices after entering Fengjiazhuang.

After many years, now that his young master has paid for it, he can finally enjoy himself.

In fact, gambling money in the gambling house, winning or losing is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the atmosphere inside.

The extremely excited emotions of the people around you will instantly infect you, and even if you have any troubles in your heart, you will be temporarily forgotten when you are mixed with this group of people.

All the energy is focused on the game, and the moment the betting results are revealed, the excitement is indescribable.

Lao Wu hadn't felt like this for many years, so as soon as he walked into the gambling house, he saw that his whole body seemed to be excited, and he kept looking around, and his neck was stretched.

Shao Xi looked at it and secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that the happiness of these people was nothing more than the fantasy of getting something for nothing, but it was just some luck.

But he didn't know that if he wanted to be invincible at the gambling table, it also depended on ability, and if it was just luck, no one could leave the gambling house with a smile in the end.

As soon as he walked into this gambling house, Shao Xi's eyes were also attracted by these strange gambling methods around him.

It seems that this gambling house should be opened by a Central Plains person, and the guy who was at the door just now spoke like a Central Plains person's tone.

Although he looked like a native of the Western Regions, the words he said must have been taught to him by the owner of the gambling house.

I saw that there were three wide platforms in the center of this gambling house, which were gambling on dice, fan stalls, and chess, and there were pot throwing, cockfighting, and dog fighting on the side, and the whole gambling house was very lively.

Shao Xi turned his head to look at Lao Wu, and asked teasingly, "Which one are you best at and can help me save as much money as possible?" ”

Lao Wu rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with an unconvinced face: "Look down on the old man, am I?" When I was younger, I was always in and out of this kind of place, not to mention that it was like I was going to lose.

"Since I came this time to inquire about some news, let's bet on the dice! It's easy to talk to a group of people around them. ”

Shao Xi threw the purse directly to Lao Wu, where there were silver beans, gold beans, silver leaves, and gold leaves, and it seemed that he was planning to let Lao Wu have a good time tonight.

Lao Wu took the purse and flipped it in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction, which seems to mean that you, the young master, are okay, not stingy!

The table that bets on dice can bet on the size, odd and even, and points.

Shao Xi followed behind Lao Wu and came to the table where the dice were betting, and many people were betting here at this time.

Lao Wu asked the people around him: "Are the first three big or small?" ”

At this time, many people are busy betting, some people don't notice Lao Wu's problem at all, and some people are too lazy to take care of him when they hear it, I don't know if it's because of losing money and losing in a bad mood?

After Lao Wu asked this sentence, he found that no one paid attention to him, so he raised his voice and asked again, but the few people around him should be busy or busy, and still no one paid attention to him.

This made Lao Wu a little angry, and scolded and said, "Are you all damn blind and deaf?" Old man, I asked if the first three were big or small, and they all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and they deserved to lose to death! ”

People who gamble in the gambling house are the most taboo for others to say that they lose, Lao Wu's words poked the lungs of many people, and the people around him reacted at once, and they all spurred Lao Wu.

"Bah, you old guy can speak? It's really bad luck to lose as soon as you come! ”

"Why should you tell you if you ask? The mouth is so vicious, even if he knew, he wouldn't tell you. ”

"Bet on bets, ask what the first three? Is it possible that you can still pinch it? What a superfluous! ”

"Let's go, stay away from him......"

Boy! Lao Wu's stinky mouth offended a group of people as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shao Xixin said, this is also a fart news, people have offended you, who else to ask?

Just when Lao Wu was a little crazy and Shao Xi was scratching his head a little, a person who looked like a beggar standing not far from Lao Wu answered Lao Wu.

"The first three are small, small, and big."

Shao Xi and Lao Wu both looked at the person who spoke in unison, only to see that this person was unkempt, ragged, and his long fingernails hadn't been cut for an unknown amount of time.

Holding a silver bean in the palm of his hand, a pair of eyes behind the dirty hair on his forehead looked a little cloudy, and he was staring at the big and small words on the table at this time, as if he was hesitating which side to bet on.
