Chapter 1195 Samarkand
At this moment, Xu Jin was mixed with emotions. If you think about it carefully, it has been three years since he bid farewell to Qiaoer in the summer of Jiajing. At first, he could still receive letters from her to the capital intermittently, but later he had completely lost all the news. Now, he suddenly learned about Wang Cuiqiao from the Persian woman in front of him. Xu Jin was both excited, a little uncomfortable, and a little annoyed.
There is no doubt that Wang Cuiqiao is a talented and beautiful woman. She is so gorgeous and charming, and has amazing talent in music. However, she is also different from other feudal women. Her biggest dream is to travel around the country to see more people and things, understand different local customs, and then study folklore and create songs.
Three years ago, Wang Cuiqiao returned from Malacca with Xu Jin and asked Xu Jin to go out for three years to travel around the country. If any feudal man had changed, he would definitely not agree to Wang Cuiqiao's request of "rebelliousness". Fortunately, Xu Jin is a modern time traveler, and his thoughts are not restricted by the rules and regulations of feudal ethics. Therefore, he did not think that Wang Cuiqiao's pursuit of dreams was rebelliousness. On the contrary, he also admired Wang Cuiqiao's courage and independent personality in pursuit of dreams, so he readily agreed to Wang Cuiqiao's request, not only arranged a military guard for her, but also personally planned the route of travel.
But now it seems that Wang Cuiqiao did not travel according to the route he planned, because most of the route planned by Xu Jin were in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and he deliberately avoided countries that were not friendly to the Ming Dynasty. However, Wang Cuiqiao actually met the Persian woman Ye Na. It is obvious that she had been away from the border of the Ming Dynasty. It is no wonder that she did not write a letter back to Beijing later. After all, after leaving the border, how can the letter be delivered?
Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly. This woman had been out of the wild for a few years, and probably had forgotten her man to Java. Now she is just doing whatever she wants, and she can go wherever she wants, and she still remembers the three-year appointment!
Xu Jin asked himself that he was broad-minded and never was a stingy man, but at this moment he felt uncomfortable. It was also possible that the women around him regarded him as a treasure. However, Wang Cuiqiao was more keen on pursuing his dreams and neglected his husband. Therefore, our Prince Jingdao was mentally unbalanced, especially when he heard that Wang Cuiqiao is now famous among the Western Regions, he felt even more uncomfortable, and he felt that his treasure could be snatched away at any time.
Alas, is this considered to be self-inflicted? Xu Jin regretted supporting Wang Cuiqiao for traveling out!
"Young Master, your son?"
Ye Na called out twice, and then Xu Jin came to his senses. He secretly despised himself, and let Qiaoer travel around the country to collect folk songs and create and become a singer of a generation. Isn’t it exactly what he wanted to see? Why did he get petty again at this time?
Xu Jin's eyes refocused on Catherine Yena's face, and the latter asked tentatively: "Young Master... Do you know Mr. Wang?"
Xu Jin smiled indifferently, nodded and said, "Yes, we are friends. I have heard her sing the song you just sang."
"Are you just friends?" Ye Na asked with a fierce look, and her intuition told her that the relationship between Xu Jin and Wang Cuiqiao must be unusual.
Xu Jin did not answer and asked back, "You just said that Wang, everyone has taught you Ming Mandarin for half a year. Where did you meet her? Where is she now?"
Ye Na revealed her memory and said, "That was almost a year ago. I went from Persia to Samarkand. It was there that I met Wang Jiao. We have been together for about half a year. In addition to performing, we will learn from each other. I taught her Persian and Persian singing and dancing. She taught me Ming Mandarin and Ming Dynasty singing and dancing. Wang Jiao is extremely talented and can learn a lot of things. It often takes twice as long as I learn.
"Samarkand?" Xu Jin frowned and said, "But the capital of the Uzbek Khanate?"
Yena nodded quickly and said, "Well, yes, Samarkand means fertile land, which is very rich and prosperous. The Uzbek Khanate borders Persia, Mughals, Yerjiang, Dayuzi and Zhongyuzi respectively."
Xu Jin couldn't help but feel speechless. Qiaoer actually went to the Uzbek Khanate, thousands of miles away from Tibet, which was thousands of miles away from the Ming Dynasty. Alas, this girl is so tough and bold. But this just shows that she is indeed famous and very popular among the countries in the Western Regions. Otherwise, she would not be able to run safely.
"Then where are you, Wang now?" Xu Jin asked helplessly.
Ye Na shook her head and said, "About half a year ago, I separated from Wang. Later, I encountered military chaos and wandered here. I don't know where Wang is now, but she may be in Yerjiang or in Persia. Oh, I remembered that she seemed to have mentioned that she would return to Ming Kingdom within one year, maybe she had already returned to Ming Kingdom."
Xu Jin finally felt a little balanced. It seemed that Qiaoer had not forgotten the three-year agreement. He was preparing to return to the capital half a year ago, but there was still no news. I guess there was something wrong on the way?
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Jin couldn't help but worry. It was the closest to go to Yerjiang from the Uzbek Khanate to return to the Ming Dynasty. After all, the road to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is not easy to walk...
While thinking, Xu Jin took a book of maps from the desk. He was about to open it and watch it when he suddenly woke up Catherine Yena. He was still there, so he looked up and said, "Comeone is here."
Two personal soldiers flashed in and glanced at the neatly dressed Xu Jin and the Persian beauty.
"Take the girl Ye Na to settle down." Xu Jin pointed at Ye Na and said, but the latter's expression changed. He rushed forward and knelt down quickly, holding one of Xu Jin's thighs in both hands and begged: "Young Master, don't drive me away, please don't drive me away, let me stay and serve you."
"Ye Na, please let me go first."
"If the young master doesn't agree, I won't let go." I guess he felt that Xu Jin had a gentle temper, so Ye Na actually acted like a scoundrel and hugged her even tighter.
Xu Jin felt the soft squeeze on his thighs, which was both embarrassing and a little useful. He tried to pull his legs out several times but failed. He had to glar at the two personal soldiers watching the fun and said, "You won't take Miss Ye Na yet."
"Let me do it!" A cold voice suddenly sounded, and a woman flashed in from outside the tent door. She had a slim figure, long legs, shoulders as sharp as a knife, and a pretty face as cold as ice. It was Xue Bingxin.
