Chapter Eighty-Three: The Ancient Kingdom of Loulan

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, you are the master outside, and I am the servant, and I will definitely listen to you when the time comes. Xu Nuo'er regained her lively and cheerful appearance, smiling strangely.

"Stop, what do you mean, you want to pretend to be my servant, you won't be addicted to pretending to be a servant last time, this is not a good idea, let's change it?" King Rui thought that it was a pity for such a peerless beauty to pretend to be his servant, and couldn't help but object.

"Haha, you think too much, I don't want to dress up as a man, I just want to dress up as your waitress, you are the master, and the three of us are your subordinates, so it makes sense. Xu Yu'er looked at King Rui's reluctance, and had to explain further.

Hearing this, King Rui pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, then that's it, just do as you say." ”

The phantom looked at the two masters and said, "Then please get ready, it's time for your subordinates to give you a disguise." Saying that, the phantom first began to change the appearance of Xu Nuo'er, only to see a human skin mask as thin as a cicada's wings instantly applied to Xu Nuo'er's peerless face.

A few people on the sidelines couldn't help but admire, this face was Mo Xingchen couldn't recognize her daughter-in-law when she woke up. Xu Nuo'er hurriedly ran to look at the bronze mirror and looked, it was not as dazzling as before, but it also had some other charming charm, and it also belonged to a first-class beauty, not bad, she finally didn't make her an ugly monster with a pockmarked face, otherwise she really couldn't accept it for a while.

When Prince Rui saw that Xu Yu'er had changed greatly, he was also eager to try, and the phantom hurriedly pasted a human skin mask on him, and suddenly the rugged and arrogant Lord Rui turned into a suave and gentle scholar.

Fan Xingwen couldn't help but joke: "This time it's more like my eldest brother, and finally has a bit of a literati demeanor, that's it, don't show your true face in the future, if you want to go to the battlefield, you have to wear a grimace mask like the King of Lanling, otherwise before the war starts, the enemy will be lost, and people still think that you can do witchcraft." ”

The others laughed too. Soon the Phantom and Rufeng were also dressed in disguise, and the four of them sneaked out of the palace by taking advantage of the night.

There is no way, no one in the palace dares to ensure that they are cleaned, so everything must be cautious.

The four of them only knew that Loulan was a small ancient country adjacent to the Western Regions, and it was rumored that there were beautiful women and picturesque scenery, so they all wanted to be there and take a look.

Because Fan Daxue temporarily made up for their evil, saying that the Loulan Empire was a small country on the Silk Road, located in the west of Lop Nur, at the hub of the Western Regions, and the scope of the kingdom was near Guyangguan in the east, west to the ancient city of Niya, south to Altun Mountain, and north to Hami.

Despite its small size, it occupies an extremely important position.

Although the opinions of several people are not too unified, the approximate location is clear, that is, to go to the Western Regions, through the desert to see the desert lonely smoke, the long silk road of the heroic scene.

A few people stayed overnight, extra cautious, and others seemed to be a vivid example of a down-and-out scholar engaging in business.

In this era, the people all advocate the civil and military examinations, but the businessmen are not favored, and they feel that they are ignoring the right business, so most of the eyes they suffer are contempt or regret, and they feel that they don't work hard for a good career, so why don't they want to forge ahead and become a small businessman and hawker.

The four of them didn't care, they should eat and play.

It took about five days to reach the Western Regions, and it turned out to be a barren land as they had imagined.

I saw the sunset in front of me, the long river reflecting the willows, and the green land drunk pedestrians. What a chic scenery outside the plug.

"Well, it's not bad here, if I can meet a beautiful woman who knows pain and heat, I won't go, anyway, my career is not smooth, and it's not bad to be a door-to-door son-in-law here." King Rui joked to himself while shaking the folding fan.

"Hehe, master, don't dream, in case you meet a goblin who can hook the soul, it's not a joke that you lost your life when you were drunk and fell into the gentle township. Xu Yu'er splashed cold water very inauthentically.

"If you talk to Gongzi and me like this again, be careful that this Gongzi sells you to the old man of Loulan, hahaha, see if you can go back!" Anyway, the wife protector is not here, he can say whatever he wants, and no one will cut him.

"Master, you have become bad, why did you just set foot on this evil land, your thoughts are so evil, I think you really can't go back. Xu Nuo'er didn't show weakness and smiled back.

A few people laughed and forgot the boredom in their hearts for a while, showing the heroism of the businessman. They didn't go far before the four of them were attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

"Look, that should be the legendary Lop Nur, right?" Xu Nuo'er couldn't help but admire, pointing to the beautiful lake with water and sky.

"Well, yes, our brother has been here before. "The words like gold are like the wind, and they are also infected by the beautiful scenery, and they are faintly authentic.

"It's so beautiful, you see, there are waterfowl over there, it's so beautiful!" I saw an orange-red sunset reflecting the jasper-like Lop Nur, and a few waterfowl gracefully walked leisurely by the lake with long legs. Such a beauty can only be seen once in a while in dreams.

"After here, there is the Loulan Empire in front of us, we must be careful in everything. The Phantom couldn't help but remind everyone.

"Well, don't worry, we'll always keep it in mind. Xu Yu'er immediately nodded in response. Sure enough, I didn't go far before I vaguely saw a group of buildings in the style of the religion.

No need to ask, Xu Nuo'er also guessed that it was the castle of the Loulan Empire. The blue bricks and green tiles are getting closer and closer, only to see that the buildings are all two or three stories high, with a single appearance, the city walls are very high and strong, and the soldiers guarding the city are wearing the characteristics of the Loulan Empire, holding spears in their hands to patrol back and forth.

Fortunately, the four of them were all from the Western Regions, so they entered the city smoothly. The street in front of me seemed to be the most prosperous street in the capital, with many shops on both sides, a dazzling variety of goods placed in front of the stalls, and the vendors kept shouting, hoping to sell a few more before dark, and make a few more copper plates.

The four of them followed the example of the merchants, pretending to be very interested in these goods, and came to a few of them, and when they saw the nobles at the door of the shops, they forgot to sell them, and came directly to talk, hoping that the nobles would look at their goods, so that they would have another way to sell.

Soon they received a lot of various goods with local customs, and the four of them were also tired and hungry, so they casually found a restaurant that they thought was passable.

The shopkeeper saw that four merchants had come, and immediately trotted over to greet each other with a smile: "The four of you, please, our small shop has all kinds of stir-fried vegetables, hand-grabbed meat, I don't know how many people want to eat?"

Rui Wang Ye immediately looked at Rufeng, he was afraid that he would order food and show something, so he looked at him as if he was asking for help.

"Our master likes to eat meat, so let's come to the water basin mutton, by the way, let's have a stir-fry, and then a roast leg of mutton, ten roasted naan. "Rufeng is very skillful in ordering dishes, and the two of them know a little bit about the customs here, so they can be a guide when necessary.

The four of them were arranged in a private room by the window on the second floor, which was in a good location, not only to see the caravans coming from south to north, but also to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Loulan. Before serving, Xiao Er enthusiastically brought a pot of tea. Xu Nuo'er took a sip of thirst and almost squirted out, this tea is obviously different from Moguo's, and even the tea has a smell of mutton.

Rufeng immediately understood, and hurriedly signaled with his eyes that Xu Er must follow the local customs, otherwise he would be discovered before he could get close to the target.

About a pillar of fragrant kung fu food came up, the good guy's mutton in the basin was really served in a basin, Xu Yu'er secretly stuck out her tongue, the people here are really bold enough, and she really can't adapt to the living habits here.

"Eat, if you don't eat for a while, you'll faint from hunger, do you still have the strength to work?" Prince Rui glanced at the promise with a loveless face, and couldn't help but whisper to persuade.

There is no way to eat the level of stir-fried vegetables in the capital of Mexico, so you can only think about it, the oil for stir-fried vegetables here is mutton fat and butter, and rapeseed oil is very little.

Xu Nuo'er sandwiched a piece of meat and ate it like chewing wax, she doesn't like to eat beef and mutton on weekdays, it seems that she doesn't need to deliberately reduce it this time, and she will definitely become slimmer when she goes back.

I couldn't tell what the dish was on that plate of greens, it was no different from the wild vegetables cut in the field and fed to the pigs, and it was really hard to swallow after Xu Yu'er took a bite. The four of them ate in a hurry and rested in the backyard of this restaurant.

The backyard was the inn, and they gave the horses to Xiao Er to leash them in the stable, filled them with hay, and then they went back to their respective rooms to rest. Because Xu Nuo'er doesn't know much kung fu, her room and Rui Wang's room are the kind of suites inside and outside, and outsiders seem to be convenient for her to wait for her master, but in fact, it is to protect Xu Nuo'er.

It's late at night, and the night here is much quieter than in the Mexican capital. Although most of the merchants who came and went lived here, everyone was tired from the journey, and fell asleep as soon as they went to bed. Only Xu Yu'er and the four of them were thinking about this and that, but it was difficult to sleep.

Xu Yu'er pushed open the window and looked at the strangers coming and going through the moonlight, but she thought about Mo Xingchen thousands of miles away, I don't know if he was looking for her after waking up, whether her rhetoric could deceive him, or if his temperament changed greatly after he woke up, and he didn't want to see her at all, her heart was in the distance, on his body.

"No'er, why don't you sleep yet, the night dew is too heavy, it's better to close the window, and it's safer, there are a lot of people here, you'd better pay attention, without us with you, you'd better not go out by yourself at night, so as not to get into unnecessary trouble." As soon as King Rui saw Xu Yu'er's worried look, he guessed that she must be thinking about Mo Xingchen. That guy is really blessed to marry such a good daughter-in-law who is shy of the moon and treats him as a treasure.

"Well, why don't you go to sleep Brother Wang, we are also tired for a few days, you go to sleep first, I will sit and sleep immediately, you don't have to worry about me, Nuo'er has a sense of proportion and will not mess around." Xu Yu'er replied with a smile at King Rui.

"Okay, you remember to go to bed early, tomorrow we have more important things to do, I'll go to sleep first. King Rui gave a few words, and turned and went into the back room.

Xu Nuo'er looked at the night for a long time, and didn't know how long it took to feel cold, so she closed the window, lay down on the bed, and continued to toss and turn, thinking nonsense, and only slowly fell asleep at dawn.

When the three of them came to call her for breakfast, she had only slept for a short time, and she got up in a daze to wash, feeling unusually tired.

It's really hard to eat and sleep here, every day is a torment, she vowed to find Nalan Qianqian as soon as possible, find the medicine primer, and go back to Mo Xingchen, I'm afraid she will hang here for too long.

She didn't want to die in this foreign land, and she had to return to him even if she died.
