Chapter 54 The Emperor of Hanzhang who maintains the Silk Road
Chapter 54 Emperor Zhang of Han who maintained the Silk Road (Part 1)
After completing their mission to Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Madou Dou and Zhi Guoguo embarked on a new journey through time and space.
"Brother, where are we this time?"
Zhi Guoguo looked at the endless Gobi desert. She was a little confused. There were no buildings near or far, and it was completely deserted.
"Sister, if my guess is correct, we are in the Western Region now."
Madoudou looked at the desolate Gobi desert around him. He couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south here, but he firmly said that they were in the Western Region.
"Western Region?"
Zhi Guoguo thought of the last two times they were in the desert. Looking at the deserted Gobi, she felt a little discouraged.
"Brother, why don't we leave here? I'm afraid."
What Zhi Guoguo said was really scary. After all, the environment here was filled with yellow sand and not a single inch of grass grew. Although it was not a desert, there was no sign of any water source.
"No, let's wait here. Sister, you see this road has the marks of camels and wheels rolling over it, so if my guess here is correct, this should be the Silk Road."
Madoudou soon found his answer at a boundary monument. The name of this road was written on the boundary monument.
"Brother, you don't mean that we should wait here again."
Zhi Guoguo rarely used an idiom for once, and Madou Doudou burst out laughing.
Seeing Madou Doudou laughing at herself, Zhi Guoguo blushed nearby.
Madoudou looked at the mark of the wheel and patted Zhi Guoguo on the shoulder.
"Sister, don't worry, someone will pass by here in less than a day. We just need to wait here."
One day? Sleeping in the open air?
"Brother, there are not even shady trees here. The sun is so bright now, we may get heat stroke after a day in the sun."
Zhi Guoguo covered her face with her sleeves. She was really afraid that the sun would tan her little face.
"Sister, please hold on a little longer. Others don't have this opportunity to see the ancient Silk Road, but we have seen it with our own eyes."
Time passed minute by minute, God may be caring for Madoudou and Zhiguoguo.
Towards evening, a convoy of more than a dozen carriages came from a distance.
Each carriage is hung with red silk, which looks very festive.
"Someone is coming, someone is coming." Madoudou jumped up from the ground happily, holding Zhi Guoguo's hand and jumping for joy.
Zhi Guoguo also saw it. The red silk floating outside the carriage was still eye-catching in the evening under the afterglow of the setting sun.
"Brother, is this a procession to welcome or send off a bride?" Zhi Guoguo's face was filled with question marks.
Madoudou pointed to the leading carriage, "Look at that flag, the Chinese characters on it, we're here."
When the motorcade approached, Madoudou led Zhiguoguo and blocked the road, causing the leading carriage driver to stop.
"Sir, are there two young children here who have blocked the carriage?" the coachman called to the people in the carriage.
After hearing this, Ban Chao got off the carriage and stepped forward to look at Madou Doudou and Zhi Guoguo.
"Where are you coming from and where are you going?"
Ban Chao had a lot of strange costumes in the Western Regions. He was a little confused about the clothes on Madou Doudou and Zhi Guoguo.
Madoudou and Zhi Guoguo both knelt in front of Ban Chao, kowtowing and bowing, their attitude was particularly sincere.
