Wandering the rivers and lakes for pigs and cattle, who knows that there are masters in this; spilling blood is not a hero, and reclamation and farming are self-styled.

When the Cowherd saw that the deceased's eyes were closed, his face was blue and black, and he no longer looked like him, he felt sorry in his heart, not only for the dead person, but also for himself: if it weren't for the coincidence, he would be like this person day and night in the cold and biting ice water to pick up stones, until he died! The river in his ears was quiet, and he also heard people's songs: The glacier is long, the towering South Mountain, the beautiful jade is accumulating, and the cold demon is entangled. From China, experienced the Han Desert, the people of the lotus halberd, and the city of the country. The soldiers were scattered and captured, enslaved all day long, born as a man, and died as an Eastern ghost. You can't return to the east in life, and you can only return to your hometown when you die! The voice is sad, not miserable.

The Cowherd only felt extremely uncomfortable in his chest, but he didn't know how to send it, his hands were loosened, and the dead man went down the river and suddenly disappeared! He looked around, and a person whispered: "Born as a jade worker, died as a water ghost, hehe! Let him go! A gentleman does not need to worry." ”

Another person said: "What is the difference between being fed by tigers and wolves or being eaten by fish and turtles!"

When the Cowherd returned to the shore, he was distressed, and a Hun man rode up to him and shouted: "You men, when you come to Fanzhong, are there any people who are willing to work under our prince's tent? There are also two sheepskins a year! ”

A group of Han people were in an uproar, and after they came to Khotan, they saw that the city was depressed and the people were poor, and they knew that the dream of getting rich had come to naught, and their livelihood had become a problem. After all, it was the Huns who came to summon it. Everyone looked at each other. Someone snorted: "Brother Niu, Brother Niu, what do you think?"

The Cowherd looked at the Hun man, riding on the horse proudly, his face was shiny, his heart was suddenly resentful, he was silent, and he didn't want to speak. The king of Khotan approached and said, "If you want to work, go ahead! I'm sorry guys! I'm sorry to disappoint you. ”

The king of Khotan spoke, and several people slowly walked up to the Hun and looked up at each other. The man said proudly: "Just a few of you? What can you do? Our prince is very picky, and if he doesn't do well, he will be whipped!

A man said: "I am a rope maker in Hanting, and I can make hemp rope or leather rope." ”

"Hmm, do you make ropes? The man happily stood behind the Huns.

One said: "I am a melon and vegetable maker, and everyone in the three towns and five miles buys my melon vegetables." ”

"We don't have many of these things on the grassland! "This one has passed.

Dozens of people with various means were recruited, and a few farmers also wanted to go over. As soon as the other party heard that it was farming, he laughed: "We are grassland people." Where is the use of shepherding sheep for farming?"

When the man saw that no one had come any more, he led thirty or forty craftsmen back to his life.

The blacksmith took a sip and scolded, "Grandma!" but he didn't know which one to scold or what to scold. I saw that the Huns set up a fire and roasted the meat, and the aroma slowly wafted over. Everyone looked at it again, the jade slaves were still busy in the cold water in a muffled voice, and the Khotanese people also began to prepare to eat.

The king of Khotan said to the cowherd: "Brother, let's also prepare to eat." He opened the leather bag behind the horse and took out a few pieces of jerky.

Cowherd suddenly said: "Big brother, how long do these jade slaves usually live?"

The king of Khotan thought that he was worried about the Han Yu slaves, and said: "There are not only Han people, but also Khotanese people! There are also Huns, those who have no family business, those who have fallen here, and the horse thieves who are caught, may become jade slaves." They pick up jade in summer and cut jade in winter, and some people can do it for decades! Some people are in trouble, they all die in the summer, and the master accompanies them!"

"I mean, let's put it this way, do you want them to live long enough?"

"Of course I do! I want them to live longer and fish out more jade! But how is it possible?"

The Weaver Girl suddenly interjected: "Actually, there is a way, that is, it depends on whether Daddy is willing or not!"

"Don't say it!

"Aori has a way, why don't you let her say it? ”

"Just obey the queen mother! The queen mother has holy medicine, and you can not avoid water and fire! Daddy is always suspicious, you can't hate the queen mother for the rest of your life because of my mother!" The weaver girl's eyes were red, tears rolled in her eyes, and she forced herself to hold back and not let it roll down.

The king of Khotan said ruthlessly: "Don't say it! Unless I die, I will never use those demon things!"

The Cowherd understood, and said to the king of Khotan: "Okay." We don't care about anything else, we can figure it out ourselves. As long as you're willing to help, big brother, we can find a way to keep people from the cold. ”

"You're not lying to me?

"Don't look for them! I wonder why you give her jade if you don't deal with it?"

"Hey, if it's not for food, how can it be controlled by others!" he said, the reason is that Khotan is under the Kunlun Mountains, a small oasis, originally peaceful, and the herdsmen can be self-sufficient despite their difficulties. Suddenly, someone entered the mountain, saw that the stone in the mountain was exquisite, brought out the mountain, and became famous in Khotan. The queen mother in the mountains floated in, exchanged grain for beautiful jade, and the two were at peace, each taking what he needed. Decades ago, the Huns came and forced them to dig for jade. After a few battles, because they were not under their own control, they were broken by each of them, and they all became slaves of the Xiongnu. Seeing that the Huns were arrogant, the Queen Mother actually took advantage of the fire to rob and trick all the Khotanese women into the mountains and into her "immortal book"! Originally invaded by the Huns, there was still hope of recovering the country, but now the Queen Mother was drawn from the bottom of the cauldron and cut off the idea of the Khotanese people, and their fate of extinction was inevitable! When the elders of several tribes saw this, they could only unite and elect his father to be the first king of Khotan. The king of Khotan ordered the people of the tribe to rise up at night, killed many Xiongnu warriors, and drove away the Huns. Originally, the Huns could not have too many people here, and they couldn't survive if there were too many people. When the Huns were gone, they wanted to go into the mountains. Find the Queen Mother's lair. Rescue the women of the clan.

I didn't want the Queen Mother to see that they had defeated the Huns. Afraid that Khotan would become strong, he immediately colluded with the Xiongnu and sent many Khotanese women to the Xiongnu, and the Khotanese people were defeated twice, and his father also died under the sword. However, the Queen Mother and the Xiongnu saw that the Khotanese people did not give up and continued to fight, and they were also afraid that after the destruction of Khotan. No one came to dig the jade, so they forced an alliance with him to continue to be king, but they had to send most of the jade in the river to the Xiongnu and the Queen Mother, who kept the other tribes away from here, and the Queen Mother guaranteed them food and women! In the summer, women were allowed to meet with the men of the tribe for a few months a year, but only at night. The child born to a woman grows up to five years old. He was sent out of the mountains and lived with the men of the tribe, and the girls remained in the mountains and became the queen mother's tribesmen.

This extremely humiliating covenant, they had been forced to carry out for decades! So he was determined to get rid of this humiliation, how could he possibly use any medicine provided by the Queen Mother? He thought that the witch had ulterior motives.

"How can the Weaver Girl come back to you?"

I brought back to Khotan the Han people captured by the Xiongnu, but I did not expect that some of them were extremely skilled, and the jade they pondered was even more exquisite; there were also a few craftsmen who taught them the art of weaving, and some of them were related to the Han court, and then they were taken to the Central Plains, and the Chinese emperor liked them very much and sold them for a large price. It was the thread I brought to the Queen Mother and the Son of Han Dynasty, and of course she was grateful to me! The Huns hated me to the core. ”

The Cowherd didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns, and they couldn't help but marvel. Zhong Jia Yi smiled: "If that's the case, you don't have to make any difficulties." I can make the jade slaves better. ”

The Cowherd was overjoyed, "Brother, quickly tell me your way and save these people!"

Zhong Jiayi touched his chin and sneered elusively: "Why should I listen to you? I think of a way to let them accept your affection, to be grateful to you, what can you do? What will you do?"

The Cowherd muttered, I don't know why he suddenly got angry with himself, the Weaver Girl looked at him and couldn't stop looking at his face, knowing the truth, and secretly rejoicing in his heart, that stupid Cowherd didn't understand the amorous feelings, and didn't look at himself at all, this little boy kept coming over by his side to attract his own attention, when she was by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, the Queen Mother teased the man's trick and learned a few points, but she never had the opportunity to make it, you can try it today: "Hmph! I think you seem to be boasting! The Queen Mother has great powers, so that she can make water without rotting, You are an ordinary man, what ability do you dare to boast that you can make the jade slave not afraid of the cold?"

Since seeing the Weaver Girl, Zhong Jia Yi felt that the six gods had no master, and his heart was itchy and unbearable, and he always wanted to attract her attention immediately, but found that her eyes did not leave the Cowherd, and he was angry in his heart, and he was sad, he felt that he was handsome, talented, and able to write and martial arts, how could he not be as good as a Tian Shelang? Now she actually only spoke to herself, and her eyes were ethereal when she spoke, if she was ruthless, she was even more heartfelt, and smiled: "The little princess doesn't know anything! Everyone thinks that I am not an extraordinary product, and everyone's eyes are still knowledgeable! Ha! I won't say which one I am, so as not to scare you! I'll just say that in our family, a courtyard is more than dozens of times larger than the capital of the king of Khotan! I don't know how many child servants there are in the family! A person who has attained the Tao and a master of the Xuanmen has taken the grab. Some of them can kill people thousands of miles away in the blink of an eye, a few can go to the sky and the earth, and a few can ride whales and fish in the sea......"

I also want to say that the Weaver Girl has covered her nose with one hand, fanned the other, and shouted: "It stinks! It stinks! Where did the stinky weasel come from?"

Zhong A and B's noses were so angry that they were crooked, and the green tendons on their heads jumped. The cowherd didn't know what to do, and wondered: "How can there be a weasel? Why haven't I seen it?"

The blacksmith and Lao Tho stabbed him in the back and told him not to speak. Sure enough, Zhongjia and B didn't dare to get angry with the Weaver Girl, so they turned around and said to the cowherd: "Why are you everywhere? Which calf's butt is loose, and you come out!"

The cowherd was stunned, and the potter was no longer willing: "What are you doing?

Zhongjia and B didn't dare to commit public anger, so they had to hold back and not say anything.

"Hey, that little white face, tell me what you can do. Don't just blow the air. Kuroko said.

"Hmph! in my family...... , a person who has been to Kunlun Mountain in his family said that the ice and snow in the mountain do not melt for many years, and the cold is abnormal. He picked dozens of flowers and plants that were not found in the mountains and brought them back, and developed a medicine that does not hurt the hand. It's a cold day. Dig through the ice caves. Women won't hurt their hands when they wash it!"

"Then why don't you hurry up and take it out and let these jade slaves try?" said the blacksmith.

"I didn't. ”

"Hey, you've been talking for a long time, and you haven't said anything!" everyone complained.

The Cowherd said, "I see. ”

The Weaver Girl glared at him: "What do you understand?

"This brother must have a recipe on him. There is no need for medicine at all. When everyone heard it, they also understood the meaning of Zhongjia and B.

Zhongjia Yi saw that the cowherd immediately knew what he meant, and felt that he was not like the wooden one on the surface, but he was inward, and couldn't help but be more wary.

The king of Khotan muttered: "There are a lot of flowers and plants in this mountain, and they can also be picked lightly. Just listen to what you say, the prescription is not turtle hand. My jade slaves are soaked in cold water with their whole bodies, can it help?"

The cowherd said, "I had to give it a try." ”

At the moment, arrange people to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and don't mention it. The Cowherd and the others followed the king of Khotan back to the capital to discuss what to do next. Some people saw that this place was miserable, and they wanted to try their luck with other tribes and ask about nearby countries. Nanfeng said: "In the east, there are Jimo, Loulan, Ruoqiang, and in the west, there are Pishan, Shache, Shule, etc., and we have not been to some of them. However, I heard that it is similar to here, and some of them only have a population of a few thousand. ”

The enthusiasm of the crowd immediately dropped, and it seems that luck will not be much better!

The Cowherd pondered: "The Khotan River came out of the mountains. Where's the next?"

The Weaver Girl said, "Where? Out of the mountain, it will soon be gone!"

"What does it mean to be gone?"

"It's gone, it's gone! What's the point? It's gone. It's gone!"

"Why is it that a big river is gone if it says no?" he couldn't figure out.

Zhong Jia and B snorted disdainfully, and seeing that everyone didn't understand like him, he said patiently: "When we came, we passed through the desert, didn't we? There is nothing in the desert? Isn't it just a lack of water, so it became a desert." This Khotanese River, in the mountains is still decent, majestic, out of the mountains, into the desert, just like a drop of water meets sand, immediately gone!"

Everyone was silent, not knowing what the Cowherd meant. Cowherd said: "I saw that there are many places by the river where the soil is quite fat, and there are also many flowers and plants growing. If we can grow grain ourselves, we don't have to rely on others anymore! ”

"No!" said one of the elders of the king of Khotan, "we have tried, but no seedlings will grow!"

Yang Shugen also said, "It's too cold here! It's too hot down the hill." It can't be done!"

"What if there is water down the mountain? I see that the pastures there are very rich. ”

"The soil is barren, the grass grows, and the grain grows?"

"Dirt, no problem. It's water, how can you intercept the water and bring it into the fields? "The Cowherd is not dead yet.

Kuroko suddenly smiled, "There is no problem with the water either. I have a way. Seeing that everyone didn't understand, he continued: "Dig a well!"

"Digging a well in the desert?" Yang Shugen didn't believe.

"Forget what I do. It is true that we are digging holes in the lower holes! However, in the lower industry, we are digging wells! We have been digging wells for generations. ”

"Dig a well, yes, but it also needs to have water underground, and it's impossible in the desert. A farmer-like man said.

"I don't believe it! We have so many heroes that we can't dig out of the well!" said the Cowherd fiercely.

After several days of deliberation, it was not decided. This night, the Cowherd was talking with everyone in the moonlight, and there was a commotion, and someone was talking about something. Everyone looked over, and it turned out to be an old jade slave who suddenly came to look for the cowherd and was stopped. Everyone saw him trembling, and the cowherd hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Old man, what is the matter with me?"

The old man looked at him and asked in a trembling voice, "I heard that you are going to cultivate land here?"

When the cowherd heard this, he hurriedly said, "It's true!

"This Khotanese River is the river of life of the Khotanese people. If you want to survive, you have to rely on this river. ”

"It's just that when the river goes out of the mountain, it's gone. ”

"It's not. It's not gone, it's underground! You don't understand. ”

The Cowherd was overjoyed: "Old man, please advise!"

"Alas, I've been living here for a few years, and no one knows about dying here. I didn't expect you guys to come. In the past, I dug a canal in Hanzhong to transport the grain from Shu County to Chang'an. Outcome. The canal is gone. The ground is gone! It's all underground. We're not the same as here. We're empty underground, and the water is going underneath. Here, it's too hot outside, and the water is going up to the sky. Find a way to let the river go underground, and you'll be fine!" Although he didn't say it too clearly, everyone generally knew that if the river became a culvert, the water problem could be solved.

The Cowherd bowed his head. "Old man, you have saved everyone! In the future, the old man will serve under the service, and I will give you a pension and send you to the end, so that you can live for the rest of your life!"

The old man smiled, "No need. I'm just a, I can't stop, and if I stop, it's all right away! I still soak in ice water every day, and I don't feel hot. ”

The Weaver Girl smiled: "You old man, you can't bear to be happy, but you are willing to run around and work hard!"

The old man still smiled: "Little girl." Later, you'll understand that people still have to work, if you really don't do anything. Talent is going to go wrong. Many years later, the Weaver Girl understood that this was a later story.

The king of Khotan summoned the lion, the bear, and the wolf, and he himself was the elder of the tiger tribe, and said: "At night I had a strange dream, and I dreamed that our ancestors said, 'You drink the water of the Khotanese River, drink the horses and herd the sheep, and live a good life.' Why didn't I think that the people who left the river, not to mention the cattle and sheep, would not be able to drink the water of the river! I was so reproachful and angry that I was so frightened that I didn't dare to sleep anymore, so I hurriedly invited you to discuss what to do. I am an unworthy king, I can't take Khotan to drive away foreign invasions, I can't let our people can't drink water and horses, can I? I can't let our ancestors worry in the sky, right?"

The chiefs looked at each other, not knowing what he was going to do, but what he said was what everyone thought, how to lead the river to the place where it was needed, and if he had a way, they would be happy.

The chief of the lion tribe smiled and said, "King, what do you say, we will listen to you." ”

The other two also said in unison, "Yes." As long as we can bring water to the pasture, we are willing to contribute!"

The king of Khotan then said the method of digging wells and canals. The elders were amazed, for they saw only water flowing in the river, and whenever there was less snow in the high places, they had to endure hunger, thirst, and drought. Could it be that these fugitive Han Chinese can transfer water?

The king of Khotan set up a stone platform in the palace, lit fireworks, slaughtered cattle and sheep, and put melons and fruits to pray to heaven. Everyone knelt down in the audience and spoke silently. Several elders and people of various Khotanese tribes jumped around the palace and cheered. Then they ate the offerings of the sacrifice and drank the wine. Then the king of Khotan and the elders came to the river, made the last set again, and worshiped the river god.

The next day, the blacksmith took people to collect scrap copper and iron and make tools, and the potter led people to burn household goods. The Khotanese elders of several tribes erected a huge dragon head at the place where the river was about to begin, saying that it was the river god who was taking care of it. The old Han man commanded the Cowherd to lead the group along the mountain, erect wooden frames, dig stones, transport soil and stones, and cooperate with the digging of the first shaft, and it took three days to see water, and the old man told them to stop. Then it was chiseled in a downward direction until a stone cave was carved out that could be passed through the water, and the water flowed under the people's feet. After a few months of doing this, the summer was over, the weather was getting colder, and they dug hundreds of miles of open channels and culverts.

During this period, the jade envoys of the Xiongnu and the Queen Mother all sent people to see them, but later they came to see them themselves, and they all made a fuss when they saw that they had worked hard to dig out big pits one after another, accumulating earth and rocks, and they all made a fuss, thinking that these Han people had gone crazy and did not go to the river to fish for jade, but instead dug up rotten stones! No wonder they could not have enough food or warm clothing, and they dug grass roots everywhere to eat. The king of Khotan allowed them to mess around, and deliberately covered up what they had done.

The king of Khotan smiled at their doubts and did not answer, although he did not know what these people were doing, but he firmly believed that the Cowherd and them were all geniuses and abilities, and they would definitely be able to do extraordinary deeds for the benefit of the Khotanese people.

The snow slowly drifted on the Khotanese River, and the river surface became even colder, and the medicine for frostbite that Zhongjia and B had refined had an effect on Yunu's body, and the pimples on many people's bodies had disappeared, and the cracked skin was no longer painful. The jade slaves were grateful, and the king of Khotan was also quite pleased. The frozen medicine is also used on the cowherd, both internally and externally, so that they are always hot and no longer afraid of the biting cold.

The king of Khotan came to visit him again on this day, and when the Cowherd saw that his face was not worried, as if he had something on his mind, he asked, "Big brother, what's the matter?"

"Nope. Nothing, just rest assured. ”

The Cowherd thought it was for food, but suddenly there were hundreds of more people doing heavy labor. But I can only drink some porridge and rice every day. Everyone feels a little overwhelmed. I told the king of Khotan a few times, and the king of Khotan was full of promises, killed some livestock, and added meat to everyone. "Killing animals makes the people unbearable, right? ”

The Weaver Girl said: "There is a large group of Huns again! There is a Western stone zither who beat my uncle! I lost my presence and fought with him, and he ran away!"

"The West Kite has arrived! This guy hasn't been heard from in months. Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

"This is his territory! He can control all the places in the Western Regions. I'm worried that he's going to destroy our wells, and nothing else. ”

"Well, there we are. When the king of Khotan and the others heard this, they felt justified and immediately arranged for someone to do the same.

Just after finishing the work above, before everyone started to work below, they heard the sound of noise and commotion from above, some people shouted, and some people scolded and shouted. The sound of horses' hooves is from far and near, and the sound is quite scary. I don't know how many soldiers and horses came.

The king of Khotan and the elders stood at the head of the canal, waiting for someone to come. Both the West Kite and the Jade carried thousands of knights. The bravado came to the front. He suffered a big loss since that day, and was anxious to take revenge on the king of Khotan, but he did not dare to return to the Xiongnu to move troops, nor did he dare to tell others about his loss, so he could only endure and wait for the opportunity. Now, he felt that the opportunity had finally arrived: two thousand knights had come to urge the jade, and he had soldiers and horses, and he was bold. He wants to make the king of Khotan, the Khotanese people, and the Han people unable to eat and walk around!

Yudu is a little strange why he came with so many soldiers and horses, Yudu has been in Khotan for a few years, and the king of Khotan is obedient to him, which makes him feel bad and forced too much. Xi Shizheng didn't pay attention to the young Yudu, but because the jade was a big single person there, he had to be informed on the surface that he was the brother of the Youxian Wang Yan clan and the Grand Lieutenant of the Western Regions, and everyone was under his protection. As soon as I arrived in Khotan, the nomadic scenes of the herdsmen of the past were gone, and there were digging pits everywhere. Could it be that the king of Khotan had anticipated the coming of revenge and dug a pit to block the invincible Hun cavalry?

Xishizheng and Yudu walked side by side, and behind them were a large group of shirtless Hun warriors, all fat and strong, with faces full of meat, so that the horses under them could not run. Behind them are samurai in bright armor and silver wolf-headed flags. The Khotanese people on both sides did not dare to come out, and the slaves trembled. When the two of them came to the king of Khotan, they did not dismount, and they were astonished by the sight before them: they saw a huge dragon lying on the bank of the Khotanese River, its eyes were shining, and smoke came out of its mouth! The smoke was dispersed, and the dragon's head was here, and the dragon's body was hidden in the smoke without knowing where it went. There was a large number of people kneeling in front of the dragon's head, including the Huns, Khotanese people, and Han people, looking at the dragon and kowtowing.

Yudu whispered: "Strange! I haven't seen so many people a few days ago, and I only saw a dragon head." How did it come to be like this? And the smoke is sweet, it smells good. ”

Xi Shizheng knew that it must have been the king of Khotan who had done the trick, but he couldn't pick it through yet, otherwise he wouldn't be able to clean it up. With patience, a smile appeared on his face: "King Khotan, farewell to the past, I didn't expect that the national strength of Khotan is increasing day by day, and the scenery has changed greatly!

The king of Khotan also smiled and said: "It is all the blessing of Da Dan Yu, the right virtuous king, the Dadu Lieutenant, the Yudu Lieutenant and the queen mother! We have today's weather in Khotan, and the people of Khotan will be grateful for it." ”

Yudu couldn't help but ask: "King Khotan, what kind of play are you doing? Why do you worship the Dragon King at this time?"

The king of Khotan's face turned pale, and said solemnly: "Yuduwei, I don't know anything. We people in Khotan live and multiply on this Khotanese River, which is our grandparents! The river god has blessed our cattle and sheep to have pasture. Khotanese was born and grew up in Si, so he naturally did not dare to slack off. In the summer, the river god dreamed that we would dig wells and canals along the river, so that the shepherds far away from the river could also drink the river water, and the cattle and sheep could drink water. That's why I dug the canal, but the mountain god, the river god, and the dragon god all gave me a dream, saying that there were bad people who wanted to destroy it!"

This is already directed at the West Shizheng scolding, just to say that you are the wicked person who wants to sabotage our work! We know your intentions, what do you have to do it! Yudu smiled evilly, he knew that there was no big single Yu in the eyes of Xi Shizheng at all, let alone put his big single Yu jade in his eyes, every year of jade, he and Youxian Wang were first picked, and then sent to Shan Yuting, he has been patient for several years, Da Shan Yu does not speak, he still has to endure, now someone teaches him a lesson from Xi Shizheng, he is happy to see the other party's jokes.

Xi Shizheng sank his face, "Hmm, the gods have said it, the mountain gods are not angry, angry, and the river gods are not angry with you?"

"Angry, why angry?"

"You are rebellious! Dig a big hole in the good pastures and hillsides! This is to break the earth on the head of the mountain god! It is to destroy the body of the mountain god! Hmph! The mountain god also gave me a dream before I came, and asked me to stop you young people from doing nonsense!"

The king of Khotan had already thought that he would say this, and sneered: "This Nanshan is thousands of miles away from the Xiongnu, I don't know how many years Daduwei has worshiped the mountain god? Daduwei has taken countless jade from here every year, and when has he paid tribute to the mountain god? Daduwei, do you know who the mountain god's surname is? Where is the temple? Also, you drink the water of the Khotan River every day, have you ever worshiped the river god and the dragon king?"

Xishizheng really didn't have a decent way to worship the immortals of Khotan! He was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry: "King Khotan! Before I came, King Youxian told me that this year is the year when Dadan Yu wants to worship Wolf Juxu Mountain, and he wants more jade to worship the birthday of the Emperor of Heaven." This time, I have been ordered by King Youxian to pay a tribute of 300,000 catties of jade this year, and I will collect it and set off on a journey!"

The king of Khotan was furious and said: "How can the king of Youxian give such an unreasonable order! The Khotanese River has been open for less than five months. In the past, 300 catties of jade per day was already the limit of the Khotanese people! Do you still want to intensify the squeezing?"

Xi Shizheng just wanted him to be angry, and said with a smile: "This is the royal edict of the Right Sage King." It's not easy to disobey brothers, King of Khotan, you better collect jade. Stop these big pits!"

The king of Khotan said in a deep voice: "Captain Dadu, I, the people of Khotan, have worked hard to soak in the cold water all year round, and I can't get 300,000 catties of jade!

Xi Shizheng sneered: "King Khotan, what do you mean? It is impossible for Da Shan Yu and King Youxian to pass on private orders?"

"Oh! Xiao Wang didn't think so. However, I can't stand others thinking so. Lieutenant Dadu, let's talk to the superior again, forgive Khotan!"

Xi Shizheng sneered, the warriors behind him were already furious, one by one the horses neighed, the long knives flashed, and they were about to kill the king of Khotan.

It has never been a fluke, and the Han Emperor has made great achievements in opening the border; outside the Great Wall, the white bones are stacked on top of the Great Wall, and the blood is moistened with white grass. (To be continued......)
