Yuwen Chenyi and Xiao Wenfeng gasped, fortunately, each of them brought two horses, took turns to ride, and rushed to Yangguan in advance, only to be half a day late, it was really difficult to fly with wings. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two glanced at each other, understood, and gently retreated.

Quietly went downstairs, picked up the cooked beef on the counter, and didn't care about greeting Lao Hei, and said to a guy and asked him to bring the horse, then turned over and rode on horseback, and quickly left the Yuelai Inn.

The two rode horses and galloped over from the gate leading to the gate, and in order to avoid being recognized by the Xuanjia sergeant guarding the gate, they each took out their newly purchased fox fur cloak from the package they carried and draped it on their bodies.

Fortunately, at the gate of the city leading to the pass, the inventory was not strict, and there was no need for customs clearance documents.

I didn't dare to stop at all on the road, so I rode my horse and galloped forward for two days before I relaxed.

At this time, although it was ten o'clock at noon, the sun hid in the thin clouds, slowly sprinkled the dim sun, the slightest could not dispel the chill of late autumn, the two were cold and tired, riding on the horse and looking around, only to see that on the long ancient road in addition to the two of them, only the yellow sand and grass, the wild geese flew south,

A breeze blew in the ground, and only the sound of camel bells in front of them was heard crisp and pleasant, and the two hurriedly rode their horses and whipped and chased in the direction of the sound.

A moment later, there was a dusty front of me, and a caravan was heading forward.

As the two men drew closer, they found that this procession was not an ordinary caravan, but among the dozens of camels and several richly decorated carriages, there were twenty or thirty tall horses, all of whom rode men in black cloaks, armor, and scimitars.

The attire and appearance of these people are very different from those of the Tang Empire, not only are their complexions fairer, but their eyes are dark blue, but they are different from the blonde and blue-eyed Hu people, they have a beautiful black hair.

When these people saw the two of them approaching on horseback, seven or eight of them immediately took the reins and galloped out of the procession and greeted them.

Yuwen Chenyi has lived in Yangguan for a long time, and has seen people from all countries and ethnic groups, and when he sees the dress and appearance of these people, he knows that they are from the Persian Empire, which is a powerful country on the western continent and has a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

They are extremely religious, and the people sent to Datang, in addition to the envoys, are basically some believers who spread doctrines and beliefs, and there is a very famous church in Datang - Nestorianism.

And there are more than 30 people in this line, all of them are heavily armed warriors, and I don't know what they have come to the Tang Empire all the way to, and their professional habits make the hearts of the two full of questions.

In the midst of doubt, these seven or eight warriors from Persia had already spurred their horses and quickly approached them.

The leader was a charming, tall young woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a big sword on her shoulder, wearing a dark green tight-fitting uniform, wrapped in a plump and enchanting figure, standing on horseback, lined with a pair of round and slender long legs, and her demeanor was more and more outstanding.

The dim sunlight shone slightly on her fair complexion, making it even more beautiful, and the hood of the black cloak hung down behind her back, and the hem hunted in the wind, revealing two short crossbows, hanging within reach of the outside of her thighs.

This Persian woman is really beautiful! I couldn't help but admire in my heart, and Yuwen Chenyi's gaze instantly moved away from the woman's body, he didn't want to be regarded as a lustful prodigal son.

Xiao Wenfeng's two eyes were a little lustful, but he stopped at the beautiful facial features of the Persian woman, and praised with a sigh: "Tut... The master has grown so big, and I have never seen such a beautiful chick!"

"Xiao, your saliva is about to flow into a river!"

Yuwen Chenyi glanced at Xiao Wenfeng speechlessly, I really can't stand this guy, every time I see a beautiful girl, I have this virtue.

The woman led seven tall Persian warriors, who had already rushed in front of them on flying horses, and asked in half-baked Datang dialect, "Who are you, and why are you approaching our horse team?"

Yuwen Chenyi knew the etiquette of the Persians, stretched out his arm and bowed in front of his chest, and said politely: "Dear lady, we are travelers in a hurry, the journey is tiring, people are tired, we just want to find a caravan carriage to rest, and there is no malice. ”

The woman's eyes rolled, her thin eyebrows jumped slightly, and she said with some puzzlement: "You are tired, you can find a place to stop and rest, why do you have to borrow the caravan's carriage to rest?"

"We've heard that there are a lot of wolves in this area, and they often attack lonely caravans, so we don't dare to stop and rest. A meaningful smile flashed across Yuwen Chenyi's face, and he shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, and explained to the woman.

He said, "Beautiful lady, will you let me and my companions rest in your carriage for the night, and of course, as a token of gratitude, I will pay you a certain honorarium." ”

When Xiao Wenfeng heard his words, he immediately reacted, Ming Chongyan's group may catch up at any time, if they can blend into the ranks of the Persians, they can not only hide their tracks, but also avoid the attacks of wild beasts, so as to sleep peacefully.

This is really a good way to get the best of both worlds, but he didn't know the etiquette of the Persians, so he first coughed lightly with his hand to his mouth, quietly glanced at Yuwen Chenyi's movements, drew a gourd in the same way, and also stretched out his arm to salute the woman.

When the Persian woman heard this, she looked the two of them up and down a few times, and saw that the two of them had good facial features and behaved very politely, and the hostility in her heart was gone, and she smiled slightly, and said: "So that's the case, I can't be the master of this, you wait a while, I'll go and ask the priest." ”

After speaking, he turned around and rode back to the horse team, muttered to the people in a carriage, and after exchanging words for a while, he turned his horse's head and galloped over, saying, "The priest has agreed to let you rest in the carriage, but you must abide by our rules. ”

Yuwen Chenyi and Xiao Wenfeng looked at each other and smiled, they really couldn't ask for it, nodded happily, and said, "Beautiful lady, thank you very much for your generosity and kindness, we are willing to abide by your rules." ”

The woman shook her long wavy hair at the back of her head, led the two of them into the horse team, stretched out her finger and pointed to an idle carriage, and said, "You can rest in this carriage." ”

When the two heard the woman's words, they thanked them again and again, and Yuwen Chenyi took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the Persian woman, saying, "Thank you, beautiful lady, this is a little thank you for this, and please accept it." ”

The woman shook her hand, smiled heartily, and said, "We, the light warriors of the Nestorian Sect, are based on benevolence and helping others, and do not need a gratuity. ”

"Bright Warrior!" Hearing this, the two glanced at each other and said in unison, "This name is very strange, but what are you bright warriors doing in our Tang Empire?"

Seeing the strange expressions on the faces of the two, the woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, we are not here to fight, we are just envoys who escort the priest to the Chang'an General Altar to preach." ”

Yuwen Chenyi and Xiao Wenfeng looked at each other and smiled, thinking in their hearts, "Of course I know that you are not here to fight, otherwise, with your thirty or so people, it will not be enough to stuff your teeth!"

It's just that the two of them are young and curious, and for them who don't believe in religion, they really can't understand the persistence and fanaticism of these missionaries for their faith, and they can't help but smack their tongues.

The woman paused slightly, looked at the wide eyes of the two, and couldn't help but laugh lightly, and said, "Haven't you heard of Jingjiao?"

Yuwen Chenyi has heard of Jingjiao, this sect has a very big reputation in the Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan nine years (635 years), the Great Qin State has a great virtue A Luo Ben brought the scriptures to Chang'an, greeted by the famous minister Fang Xuanling, and was received by Emperor Taizong.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Taizong ordered it to build a temple in Yiningfang in Chang'an City, and 21 monks were allowed to preach, which was initially called "Persian Temple", and later renamed "Roman Temple".

The religion originated from Christian Orthodoxy, originally spread in Persia, and Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism together to form the three major religions of Persia, popular in Central Asia, advocating light, believing in God, the archbishop is called "the Great Dharma King" and the priest is called "Sangha".

In addition to preaching, also the abbot translation work, after Gaozong succeeded to the throne, he gave the title of Aluoben as "the great law king of the town country", and issued an edict to build Jing Temple in Zhuzhou, and the church also hung the portrait of the Tang Dynasty emperors, so that Jingjiao can be widely spread.

The religion advocates vegetarianism, solidarity and mutual assistance, and believes that the light of the world will eventually triumph over the forces of darkness, so it is very popular, and it is said that it has 100,000 members, and it is very powerful.

However, Yuwen Chenyi didn't care about these, he just wanted to rest early, and after the battle in the poplar forest in Saibei, he spent six or seven consecutive days on horseback, and he didn't even close his eyes.

At this time, he relaxed, and a thick tiredness had already hit his heart, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he changed the topic and said, "Beautiful lady, we don't know your name yet, what should I call you?"

The woman smiled lightly and said, "My name is Wu Lan, what about you?"

The two of them smiled freely, and they both felt that Wu Lan had a hearty and free personality, and informed her of their names to each other.

Wu Lan also saw the tiredness of the two, and with a sigh, Ying Ying said, "I remember your names, rest early." ”

The two nodded, tied their horses to the carriage, took off their burdens and bows and arrows from their horses, and got into the carriage, where they fell asleep.

New people and new books, I sincerely hope that all book friends will collect and vote, your strong support, I would like to express my deep gratitude!
