Lan Yu and Lu'er were puzzled in their hearts, because there was still some time before the appointed day, and they didn't know why the Xiongnu envoy came to marry in advance. But sooner or later, this matter will be the same for them, and they can only take one step at a time.

Lu'er dressed up the princess in a wedding dress, put on jewelry, and went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and then went to the main hall to bid farewell to King Loulan and all the officials.

Lan Yu learned in the main hall that Shan Yu, a military minister of the Huns, suddenly fell seriously ill, and the prince Yu Shan could not come to marry in person, so he sent a messenger to greet him. Probably considering that if Lao Shan Yu died suddenly, the marriage would be delayed, so he wrote a letter to King Loulan, to the effect that he would marry in advance.

The king of Loulan naturally had no objections, so after traveling with the ministers for the princess, he sent a handful of maids to accompany Lu'er and the princess on the road, and specially sent some shrewd and capable soldiers to escort the princess and the Xiongnu envoys to the border. The Xiongnu welcoming procession, with the princess of Loulan and a rich dowry, left the country of Loulan and headed north......

Out of Loulan is the vast desert, to the north through Yanqi, or to the east through the Yumen Pass can enter the territory of the Xiongnu, but this marriage with Loulan, the Xiongnu naturally did not want Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty to know, so they chose to pass through Yanqi, and then to the Xiongnu Zhao Xincheng, and finally to the Dragon City of Shan Yuting.

The scenery and folk customs along the way are very interesting, Lan Yu and Lu'er have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and they are amazed to see these beautiful scenery and humanities that are very different from their own country, but this trip is a wedding team, in order to ensure their safety, the Hun envoys did not let them get off the carriage at all, and before coming to Loulan to welcome their relatives, they got the prince's secret order to bring the princess back to the marriage. Therefore, the messenger just urged all the way to hurry, for fear that there would be a mistake on the way.

Day and night have been traveling for five days, on this day, Lan Yu lifted the corner of the curtain to peek at the outside scenery, and found that it was all a desolate Gobi, boundless and uninhabited. It seems that it has reached the territory of the Xiongnu. This Prince Shan was so anxious to marry her, which made Lan Yu feel strange. Since he is a prince, there will definitely be no shortage of royal women who want to marry him as a princess, so why should he care so much about her, a princess from a foreign country?

Just as Lan Yu was pondering, Lu Er also lifted the curtain of the car and looked out with great interest, and suddenly Lu Er pushed Lan Yu and said a little strangely: "Princess, look, what is that?"

Lan Yu came back to her senses and looked in the direction of Lu'er's finger, only to see a cloud of dust and smoke rolling up on the endless Gobi Desert and the distant sky. The black smoke moved extremely fast, and it swept towards the welcoming procession!

At the same time, Lan Yu heard the leader of the Hun envoys raise his arm to direct the convoy and said, "Stop!"

The whole team slowly stopped.

"What's wrong, what's going on?" asked Sapphire in the car.

"Princess, there seems to be a team of people in front. The Loulan guard outside the car replied.

"What? are they bandits?" exclaimed.

Before the Loulan guards could answer, a Hun envoy came over and said, "Don't panic, princess, it's our people." ”

As he was talking, Lan Yu saw some people faintly appearing in the dust and smoke through the gap in the curtain of the car, and it turned out that the smoke was actually the dust raised by a team of people galloping on the Gobi. It seems that there are a lot of people coming, but I don't know why they came? Lan Yu groaned secretly, and saw that the leading man had galloped to the front.

The man was about thirty years old, dressed in black, with a jewel-studded belt around his waist, and a large mantle with a mink tail embroidered on his body, with sharp iron claws and lifelike eyes, as if he would fly away at any moment. The man was burly, his face was cold, his eyes seemed to be like the eagle's eyes on his hand, sharp and cold, and his whole body exuded a kind of royal momentum, not angry but mighty.

Could it be that he is Prince Yushan? Lan Yu was guessing the identity of the man, only to see that the Xiongnu envoys who greeted him all knelt down and saluted the man, and said in unison respectfully: "See King Zuogu Li!"

King of the Left Valley?!

Lan Yu furrowed her eyebrows, thinking back to some of the things she had heard from the palace about the Xiongnu when she was still in Loulan......

The land of the Xiongnu is roughly divided into three parts, in the middle is Shan Yu Wangting, which is naturally the place where Shan Yu lived in the past dynasties, and the east and west sides of Shan Yu Wangting are divided into two territories, which are divided into two kings. The supreme ruler of the Xiongnu is single in charge of a qiē power, and the official position is ranked in the order of the left and right virtuous kings, the left and right valley kings, the left and right generals, and the left and right captains. And among the left and right, the left is the top, so that the following is only below, that is, the king of the left is honored, and therefore the power and status are the highest. King Zuo Xian is a single "deputy prince", so he often takes the prince as King Zuo Xian.

The current Shan is the military minister Shan Yu, and King Zuo Xian is naturally the prince Yu Dan, and this King Zuo Gu Li is the younger brother of the military minister Shan Yu. Regarding the matter of this King of Zuogu Li, even Lan Yu, who grew up in the deep palace, has heard of it, his domineering, his toughness, and his ruthlessness......

Lu'er gently tugged at the corner of Lan Yu's clothes and asked her, "Princess, who is this person? Is it the prince of the Huns?"

Lan Yu lowered the curtain and said, "No, he is the king of Zuogu Li-Yi Zhixie." ”

"Huh?" Lu'er stole a glance at the man sitting on horseback and said, "En...... I don't look like it, this guy looks good...... Good...... Horrible ......"

Lan Yu nodded, "yes, he's a terrible person indeed. ”

"That'...... Princess, have you thought about it......? What should we do?" Lu'er reminded her not to forget their agreement.

"Now it just depends on the situation, I have a hunch in my heart...... We won't be here for long!" Lan Yu lifted the curtain again, looking at the figure dressed in black. As if sensing that someone was watching him, the man on horseback turned his head to look at the cart.

Lan Yu hurriedly lowered the curtain, but she still felt that sharp gaze seemed to shoot through the curtain to her face!
