"Report to your Majesty, a group of Han people in front stopped the convoy, claiming to be your old friend, Your Majesty."
"Let Volibear go and see what kind of group of 'old friends' dare to stop the Wusun people in the wild. Also, don't call me your king, call me your queen!"
Hearing the sound coming from the carriage, a man who looked like a giant bear who had been standing by nodded in the direction of the carriage, and then left the place without saying a word, and the man who came to report
The soldiers also automatically left the scene after saying the usual standard answer of "Okay, king, yes, king", and the soldiers surrounding the carriage who were protecting the carriage were not surprised by this situation.
"Mother, why do you obviously like the title 'King' so much, but you always want others to call you 'Queen', and if others really call you that, you seem very unhappy?"
"My child, you are still young, so naturally you cannot understand your mother's mood. When you grow up and have your own career and family, you will be able to understand your mother's mood today, and you will be able to share this with your mother.
A heavy burden.
However, you are still young. In addition to the necessary studies, you can also get some time to play. You don't need to be as anxious as your teachers said. What you need is to grow up healthily and happily, not to think.
Things that are beyond your ability. You have to believe in your mother, and you also have to believe that your father can protect you from wind and rain."
"So mother, can you tell me who my father is? I asked many people this question, but no one seemed willing to tell me the answer. They just told me that my father is not only alive, but also a very powerful general."
"Don't be anxious. When you grow up, you will naturally know. You will also have the opportunity to meet your father."
Gently stroking the child's silky hair and holding him in his arms, it seemed as if he was talking to his child, but also as if he was just murmuring to himself:
"Yes, we will definitely meet again, I have never doubted it."
Not long after, the figure named Volibear, who was probably the leader of the Wusun Royal Guards, reappeared in front of the carriage, and behind him were a man and five women holding two horses.
.
As a result, Li Shushi heard with his own ears the exclamation that sounded like a breath of cold air coming from the carriage.
No, because it’s really not easy to find some cool air around here at this time. Sure enough, it’s more reasonable to change it to “take a breath of heat”, which should be able to meet the requirements of reasonable parties... It’s weird.
By the way, Mr. Sai has already fainted in the toilet from crying in this dimension, so don’t pay too much attention to what is reasonable.
Let’s talk about the thousands of years of civilization history of mankind. When has it ever been reasonable? On the contrary, you think everything is ready, but God just airdrops you a funny guy who is even more pig than a pig teammate, or you think
When everything has fallen into despair, God may kick down another even more terrifying joke to let you know that there is still another mountain higher.
But Li Shushi really never expected that he would be able to meet his old friend again so soon.
It’s just his current image...
Although it cannot be said that he is very slovenly, he is not so particular about being in the wild, so his image cannot be carefully taken care of. What is more important is his appearance, without a huge army as a bonus.
Next. There is no deterrence at all, okay? It seems that even the guy who led them over and treated them with great courtesy was more intimidating than him.
Although in terms of actual combat effectiveness, a lolita can wipe out the guards surrounding this carriage, and a yellow dragon girl can completely eliminate all the soldiers and horses of the Wusun people as well as the country.
"It's really bad that you want to rely on a weak girl."
"I thought I had found a lover that I could rely on for the rest of my life, but who would have thought it would be like this? I'm sobbing and sobbing."
Hey, hey, hey, shouldn't you save a little face for your husband-in-law at this time? Why are you working so hard to cause trouble? You're such a loser!
Although Li Shushi knew that Su Xiaololi would not do this for no reason, and based on her previous performance, Li Shushi could more or less guess some of the reasons. But his current mood was extremely complicated and entangled.
Of course, I believe that in addition to Miss Diao, Xiao Zhenqing and Xiaoqiao Yan also have complicated emotions. After all, no matter how much they hide this kind of thing, they should have noticed it long ago after so many years, especially Xiao Zhen
Qing Dynasty, she was also one of the participants during the Western Expedition. For Li
Shushi and Su Xiaoluoli's plan had also been heard, or even if she didn't pay attention to the news deliberately, Zhen Jiang, the eldest sister who managed the Zhen family's trade with the Western Regions together with her, would also report the plans whether they were in Wusun or the entire Western Regions.
It can be considered an open secret to tell my little sister.
In the past, because the two places were thousands of miles apart, there was naturally no special feeling. But now, for this sudden reunion without any psychological preparation, even an almost fearless person like Su Xiaoluoli would feel a little worried about gains and losses, let alone
Xiao Zhenqing, who has been working hard secretly, may be even more stimulated.
I don't know when, Su Xiaololi's still fragrant body leaned against Li Shushi's chest, while his left and right hands were divided between the other two ladies. Looking at their reassuring expressions, Li Shushi suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.
.
Sure enough, only the real person beside your pillow is the most worthy of cherishing. As for those misty things, just let it happen.
For example, we were once separated by mountains, but suddenly we were across the mountains. Meeting was fate, parting was also fate, so why worry about gains and losses.
Thinking of this, Li Shushi showed a smile that had become more and more confident over the years, and said loudly:
"An old friend from the Central Plains met His Royal Highness the King of Wusun on the road. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He specially presented the sword to the Prince of Wusun. I hope that the two countries of Han and Wusun will have good relations from generation to generation, and that the friendship between the two countries will be passed down from generation to generation."
After saying that, he took off a very outstanding sword hanging from his waist and handed it to the commander of the bodyguard.
Although he did not receive the order from Queen Wusun, the commander of the personal guard still had an attitude of not daring to be negligent. He respectfully took the sword with his hands raised high, and then still maintained the posture of bowing and holding the sword. First, he slowly stepped back ten steps.
, and then went to the carriage where Queen Wusun was, and gave the sword to the queen.
The personal maid, and finally the veiled maid sent the sword into the carriage. From the beginning to the end, both the commander of the personal guards and the personal maid looked solemn and solemn when they took the sword, as if that
It's not a sword that looks great, but something important to the country such as a jade seal passed down from the country.
Later, Li Shushi heard a somewhat suppressed exclamation. The owner of the voice was obviously a child. His name should be the Prince Wusun who received the gift from Li Shushi, but he spoke pure and fluent Chinese.
This makes people worry about whether his Wusun language can pass the Wusun native Wusun language test level 4 and 6.
Okay, the above is completely nonsense from Li Shuzhen.
However, since the child speaks Chinese with a very pure accent, it can only mean that the child's mother is indeed in awe of the big man. As for whether there are other emotions mixed in, although Li Shushi really wants to think so, but those people back then
The scene always lingered in his heart, so he couldn't help but laugh to himself, secretly laughing at his own pretentiousness.
If he were replaced by Su Xiaololi, there might still be a certain possibility. As for him, it's just a case of each taking what he needs.
Just like today's Western Region Protectorate, they also have an increasingly subtle attitude.
Some things do not need to be confirmed in person, or it is not good to meet in person. A sword that represents war and power seems to be an appropriate gift for a boy, and it can be seen from the pleasant voice.
The little guy seems to like it very much.
How could you not like it? Although it is not a magic weapon and does not use any extremely rare or precious materials, it is definitely a masterpiece written by a famous artist and completely completed by Baihu Miao. Because the appearance is very gorgeous, it has been sold in many places.
On occasion, it replaces the Yitian Sword and becomes the ceremonial sword beside Li Shushi.
Of course, the products produced by Baihu Miao must be high-quality products. Not to mention that it is a masterpiece carefully selected by Li Shushi. Whether it is used to kill people in battle, or used as a trigger to increase mental power, this sword is definitely capable of doing the job. From this point alone
In a sense, this sword can be regarded as having the ability to be close to a treasure. If it can fall into the hands of a wise master and become the carrier of people's faith, and be forged with precious materials for a second time in the future, it will definitely become a very powerful weapon.
's treasure.
However, Li Shushi probably couldn't see that day coming.
Therefore, the best I can do here is to wish that this sword can help its owner become an outstanding person.
At least it should be better than him, better than him, a lucky man whose potential in all aspects can only be regarded as mortal at best.
Turning around, without looking back, Li Shushi walked away in the direction away from the Wusun people's convoy, holding one in each hand and one hanging on his body. Each of them had a bright smile on their face, which made Li Shushi extremely happy and happy.
A reassuring smile.
Even Miss Huanglong and Miss Diao frowned and watched the whole thing, and gave Li Shushi a positive smile, especially the latter, because Su Xiaoluoli, who was in a good mood, gave her a lot of benefits.
, also performed a folk dance for Li Shushi that is said to come from the Qiang people in the west while camping that day.
Although Li Shushi chose to move away from the Wusun team, in fact, when night fell, Li Shushi and his group of six still entered the place where the Wusun people chose to station - a seemingly prosperous town outside the Great Wall.
"Is this still the Gaochangbi I remember? I haven't seen it in just a few years, and it has already become so prosperous?!"
Li Shushi's surprise was definitely not fake. He really didn't expect that this town with so many people coming and going was the almost completely abandoned place that the Western Expedition Army passed through in the past.
Speaking of the proposal to rebuild Gaochang, it was Li Shushi who proposed it. Although everyone at the time expressed considerable doubts about whether it could support a thousand-man garrison, Li Shushi still took a fancy to this place, because when the rear of the chariot division was occupied by the then Bingzhou
With the army crippled, Li Shushi was not at ease with the chariot division in Jiaohe City, especially since the opponent was still guarding the Daban Pass.
It seems that because of Li Shushi's original persistence, such a prosperous city was created.
Even if night has fallen, you can still see merchants coming and going from east to west walking on the stone road. The sound of camel bells is intertwined with the voices of merchants bargaining. Occasionally, you can hear singing, dancing and musical instruments with the characteristics of the Western Regions. These
The more "elegant" things come from the rather majestic buildings on both sides of the street. Several of the two-story buildings made of stone bricks are comparable to the palaces of small countries in the Western Regions that Li Shushi has seen. I think they must be more luxurious inside.
.
On this trade road flowing with gold and treasures, businessmen not only used their lives to create the myth of wealth, but also drove the economy along the way. They could even create a group of wealthy businessmen just by serving those businessmen who traveled everywhere.
.
"I don't know how much money that guy Mi Fang made by taking advantage of this opportunity. Seeing so much wealth passing by, it always makes people have the urge to grab a vote. And even if we really do this, I'm afraid no one will recognize it.
Come out."
Li Shushi's proposal was immediately supported by Miss Diao. Obviously, this crazy girl is indeed what she said. After these years of in-depth exchanges with those barbarians, her moral standards in some aspects have been infinitely improved by those barbarians.
Get closer.
It's just because of the existence of another group of people that this girl's moral standard has not completely exceeded the bottom line, otherwise she probably wouldn't have petitioned for the people of Hanzhong.
Although Li Shushi was worried about whether Ms. Diao would become schizophrenic because of this, it seemed that she didn't care at all.
It's a pity that because of Su Xiaololi's two blows, the reserve team of the two big thieves "died before they left the battle". In the end, they could only let their own tears of "regret" stain their clothes, and then let the other girls laugh.
Bent over.
In the end, the changed six-person group chose a less conspicuous guesthouse to rent, and soon started chatting with the owner of the guesthouse.
Coming here is not only because the group of people still need to replenish materials, but also because they need to explore some other news. After all, it is possible for King Wusun, who has always been in charge of Chigu City, to bring Wusun's first heir here.
If there is nothing fishy about this important town under the jurisdiction of the Western Region Protectorate, Li Shushi feels that there is no need to save his IQ.
Of course, the most important thing is that since it has been confirmed that this is the former Gaochangbi, Li Shushi feels that if he had not suffered from memory gaps due to Alzheimer's disease, then in his memory, when he passed by this place, he did not feel that the raging tower was like a raging fire.
Naturally, the "Flaming Mountain", which looks like a burning flame, has never been mentioned by the locals.
Although it is not ruled out that they walked in a hurry in order to catch up with the Xianbei people, but according to the power of the "Flame Mountain", even in the middle of winter, it can make the surroundings feel enough heat. There is no reason why the Bingzhou Army will not be attacked
Notice.
So, has the Flame Mountain been hidden under people's eyes from the very beginning, or has it suddenly changed recently?
Li Shushi was quite curious about the secret behind this.
Well, Li Shushi would not say that because the girls planned to go shopping, he was left here to look after the house or something, absolutely not!
But just when he was having a happy chat with the owner who ran the guesthouse. Although he was not Han Chinese, he could still speak Chinese, and he was happily chatting. A young figure appeared in front of Li Shushi.
This is a child who looks about ten years old, with a delicate and fair face, and a pair of big eyes shining brightly. Faced with such a face, Li Shushi would rather believe that this is a somewhat peaceful person than a boy.
little girl.
However, the clothes he wears are those of a typical prairie boy. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a cute boy.
Looking at the child in front of him, Li Shushi felt that he seemed to think of the cute appearance of little Zhenqing back then. However, compared to the child in front of him, he looked like a very quiet child. The little Lolita Zhen back then was actually quite lively most of the time.
.
Of course, compared to the little Lolita Zhen back then, this cute boy gave Li Shushi more impression, but he was a replica of another girl, or maybe it was the girl's appearance when she was younger.
It's a pity that Li Shushi was not able to see him.
The shop owner seemed to realize that the two customers, one big and one small, who were staring blankly at each other, seemed to have something to say. Even though the two people didn't have much in common, they seemed exceptionally harmonious when standing together.
So, the shop owner smiled gently and hid silently without knowing where he was, leaving this place to this seemingly harmonious adult and child.
"Where's your mother? You running around like this will make your mother worried."
Li Shushi seemed to be natural and gently brushed the boy's cheek with his rough big hand. The file-like palm was definitely not friendly to a stranger, but the child stood quietly in front of Li Shushi, staring closely at Li Shushi.
His eyes seemed to contain no other complicated emotions except for the stubborn look.
The other party didn't seem to want to answer Li Shushi's question, or he thought Li Shushi's question was a bit stupid.
He smiled mockingly to himself. His current appearance was not considered mighty. After excluding the power and the helpers around him, in the final analysis, Li Shushi was just a commoner. Not to mention compared with those famous figures throughout the ages, even if he was
Compared with those outstanding people with special skills, they also have many shortcomings.
But ah.
"Seeing as you are wearing a sword at such a young age, I guess it's not just because you look good. How about you, do you want to do it for a while?"
Of course, Li Shushi once again received a blank stare, and Li Shushi also knew that his statement felt like "an adult bullying a child."
However, after rolling his eyes, the child still took the wooden sword handed over by Li Shushi.
By the way, put aside the sword hanging on your body.
Li Shushi is very familiar with that sword. After all, he has hung it for so long, so he always has quite a lot of affection for it. (To be continued...)
