Jin Fengniang gave a house in Liangzhou City, a horse farm outside the city, and gold and silver silk to the couple as a dowry for the embroiderer.
On the Uighur people's side, in addition to valuable property and countless cattle, sheep and horses, Tulishi also gave a rare gift to his eldest son Hedari when he got married - three training dogs as a betrothal gift.
A well-known sea green.
A good-quality Haidongqing is extremely valuable in the Western Region market and can attract countless people to compete for it, let alone three of them given away at once.
In Hedari's words, there were only seven Haidongqings in the entire Uighur Khan's camp who were properly trained and could be used.
Tulish took three of them in one breath and sent them out, which was considered a huge investment.
Zhou Jun looked at these three gorgeous and beautiful sea greens, and in order to cope with the inconvenience of contacting several places in the future, he left one of them in the Golden Mansion in Liangzhou.
Of the remaining two, one was taken by the falconer to Bachuan in Chang'an, while the other stayed with Zhou Jun and was taken to Dunhuang.
In this way, Chang'an, Liangzhou and Dunhuang formed an effective communication line.
On this day, after dinner, Zhou Jun was sitting in the side hall, talking with Kong You and Liu Zai.
Zhou Jun first said to Kong You: "In a few days, Yikuang and I will set off for Dunhuang. Bohong stayed in the governor's mansion to assist An Sishun'an in handling various affairs in Wuwei County, as well as military affairs in Hexi.
."
Zhou Jun emphasized the words "Hexi military affairs", and Kong You could naturally understand that the former was referring to the strategy of falsely reporting battle losses and hiding troops from the people in the future battle of Shibao City.
Kong You stood up, raised his hands to Zhou Jun and said, "Master, please don't worry. You will be taken care of properly in Liangzhou City."
Zhou Jun nodded and said to Liu Zai beside him: "Yikang, regarding the reopening of trade routes, I intend to hand over all government affairs and inspection powers to you."
Liu Zai said hesitantly: "Zai is only at the bottom of the eighth rank, so I might not be able to convince the public."
Zhou Jun: "It doesn't matter, I will write a letter of recommendation as the envoy of Longyou and entrust you with the responsibility of rebuilding the trade route. You can do it easily for money, silk, rent, craftsmen, laborers, supervision, etc.
Don’t worry.”
After hearing this, Liu Zai also stood up, cupped his hands to Zhou Jun and said, "Fortunately, Erlang trusts me, I will live up to my trust!"
Zhou Jun waved his hand and said to Liu Zai: "I will ask Bo Hong to prepare all the documents on the Dunhuang trade route. In the next few days, please take a closer look and familiarize yourself with the situation."
Liu Zai agreed.
The three of them got together again and discussed the details of reopening the trade route.
After more than half an hour, Zhou Jun saw that it was getting late, so he asked Liu Zai and Kong You to go back and rest.
When Zhou Jun was the only one left in the hall, he first picked up the already cold tea, took a few sips, and then said loudly to the courtyard outside the hall: "It's cold outside. Since it's here, just come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a plain white figure fell gracefully from the treetops.
The Zoroastrian saint Tuoba Huaisu, wearing a mask, fell gently to the ground without splashing any dust.
Zhou Jun looked at the woman in the courtyard and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Long time no see.
The whole body of this Zoroastrian saint is still the same outfit, unchanged at all, as if time has left no mark on her body.
Tuoba Huaisu walked into the hall and came to Zhou Jun. Shi Shiran saluted: "Mr. Zhou."
After the salute, Tuoba Huaisu's gaze passed through Zhou Jun's head and towards the back of the hall.
Zhou Jun followed her line of sight and looked behind her.
At some point, Hua Yue, holding two swords, stood in the hall, staring at Tuoba Huaisu as if facing a formidable enemy. Zhou Jun said to Hua Yue, "She is a Zoroastrian saint, and she has no ill intentions."
Huayue didn't relax at all, she walked slowly to Zhou Jun's side, pointed her swords in front of her, her whole body was like a bow of momentum, and said softly: "There is something about this woman that makes me feel familiar.
"
Tuoba Huaisu also looked at Huayue and whispered: "A big cannibal?"
Huayue's sword shook slightly, and a cold light flashed through the hall, Quan Do was the answer.
Tuoba Huaisu: "Do you know Ms. Zapata?"
Huayue's body froze, and after a long while she answered: "She is the astrologer of the Dashi Palace, do you know her?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "She is my master."
Huayue's eyes widened and she asked again: "What about her?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Dead."
Huayue's hands trembled, and she froze on the spot.
Tuoba Huaisu stared into Huayue's eyes: "My master once told me that in the Dashi Palace, she once met a girl with a special fate."
Huayue: "She once made a prophecy about my destiny. I have seen and fulfilled the first half of the prophecy, but I don't understand the second half anyway."
Tuoba Huaisu: "If you want to seek answers, I can't do anything. The only person who can bring you answers has been buried in the tomb."
Huayue slowly closed her eyes.
After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "In that case, I will find the answer myself."
Tuoba Huaisu nodded slightly, and then said to Zhou Jun, who was standing aside with a puzzled expression: "Mr. Zhou, I came here this time to say goodbye."
Zhou Jun: "Are you leaving Liangzhou?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "Before you arrived, I held a ceremony in front of the holy fire. The holy fire gave me a sign that the matter in Liangzhou has come to an end. Everything that happened here was just an insignificant step in the journey.
Ripples. I still have a long way to go...and so do you."
Zhou Jun first glanced at Huayue beside him, and then said to Tuoba Huaisu: "I'm going to Dunhuang next. If something happens, how should I contact you?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "There is no need to deliberately pursue it. Once the time comes, you and I will naturally meet each other."
Zhou Jun has a big head.
When this Zoroastrian saint spoke and acted, she sometimes showed the innocence of someone who had just entered the world, and sometimes revealed an unspeakable mystery.
Tuoba Huaisu: "Zhou Lang, you have already met my senior sister. Her understanding of gods and prophets is not inferior to mine. The Holy Fire is a sign that one day, sooner or later, she will find you and ask for the answer."
Reading books
Zhou Jun: "I don't understand, what kind of answer can your senior sister get from me?"
Tuoba Huaisu: "I can't answer your questions, because the holy fire never gives answers, it only points the way."
Zhou Jun closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead with his hands.
Seeing Tuoba Huaisu turning around and about to leave, Huayue stopped her: "Your master, Ms. Zapata, why did you leave Dashi in the first place? Caliph Hisham gave her what she cherished in the name of Allah.
everything……"
Tuoba Huaisu: "The solar eclipse is approaching and disaster is coming. Her departure is also to find the answer."
After saying that, Tuoba Huaisu jumped onto the wall, his figure becoming increasingly faint in the darkness.
