Princess Anji looked at Liu Hong. She really couldn't associate the thin boy in front of her with the appalling Hai Hu'er. Anji gave a salute: "Dear Master Hai Hu'er, I don't have a single gold coin on my body, so your
The robbery was a robbery gone bad."
"Really? That's such a pity! Tell me, why did the princess of Hami appear in Bailongtan where the black storm is raging?"
Princess Anji's eyes were cold: "I am going to move troops to Shanshan Kingdom to avenge the death of one of my slaves!"
"Avenging a slave? Did I hear you correctly?"
"You heard it right. A group of Han people killed my best slave, and my brother, King Hami, not only did not avenge my slaves, but also asked me to tolerate it. He is not worthy of being King of Hami, and anyone who cannot protect the Hami people is not worthy of doing so.
King Hami.”
Mo Yu frowned: "You mean a group of Han people? Where did they come from? Who is the leader?"
Princess Anji said: "I don't know where they came from, but the leader's name is Su Ren!"
"Su Ren?"
Liu Hong and Mo Yu looked at each other. Liu Hong laughed and said, "Hahaha... I'm looking for him too. I'm willing to avenge His Highness, what do you think?"
Princess Anji was overjoyed, and her face was quite a bit fussy. She looked at Liu Hong and thought for a long time: "Then how are you going to let me repay you?"
Liu Hong smiled and said: "How is Hami country?"
"you……!"
Liu Hong ignored Princess Anji and immediately ordered his men to change direction and go straight to Hami: "Thank you for the news, Your Highness. Your Highness, you can rest assured that I, Hu'er, will definitely cut your enemy into pieces!"
The mighty troops left, and Princess Anji sat down on the ground. From what she just said, she could tell that there was hatred between Su Ren and Hai Hu'er, and it was a very big hatred. Who is Hai Hu'er, Gobi
Everyone on the beach knows that when two enemies are fighting, what good can be done by putting Hami country in the middle? With his weakness, his younger brother will definitely close his eyes and watch the fight between the two sides. The final result is that no matter which family wins, it will not be good for him.
face.
"Your Highness the Princess!" the captain of the guard shouted for a long time.
Only then did Princess Anji react: "Let's go back, we must go back before Hai Hu'er!"
The snow was too thick and soft, and it was very easy for the horses at the front to sink their hoofs into the snow. Bailongtan is a desert, and no one knows what is going on under the snow. Especially the road near Hami is even more difficult and short.
When they were ten miles away, four people got stuck in the quicksand, and the two never followed up again for some unknown reason.
Liu Hong frowned: "Why is the road here so difficult?"
The guide hurriedly said: "It is precisely because it is difficult to walk that the Hami Kingdom has existed for so long. If it were a smooth road, Hami would have been a place in the Shanshan Kingdom. Once you enter the mountains, it will be fine. Master, be careful and let the horses step on the hoofprints of the people in front of you. Do this
Insurance!"
Mo Yu asked: "What is the name of this place?"
"Huihunling, there is only one road from Bailongtan to Hami. If you want to avoid it, you need to walk three or four days more."
After losing fifteen of their men, Liu Hong's horse bandits finally climbed up to the mountain range mentioned by the guide. Standing at the mountain pass, you can see Hami surrounded by mountains. This is such a good place, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing a river on one side, nourished by the snowy waters of the Tianshan Mountains.
Facing the vast expanse of land, Bailongtan is covered with white snow, and it is indeed a verdant place. Under the smoke of cooking stoves, slow-moving people are working in an orderly manner.
This is Hami. The road Liu Hong took was the right road, much smoother than the road taken by Su Ren. After running in the snow for five full days, even the strongest man was a little sluggish. As a last resort, Liu Hong had to order to set up camp and rest.
It was not too late to attack in the last day or two, not to mention that they did not know much about Hami's situation and needed to send someone to find out.
Mo Yu volunteered to play the role of a spy. He was a man and a horse, and his whole body was covered tightly. The scimitar in his waist was a typical Western style, and his face and hair color were also processed. No one would know it unless he looked carefully.
He is not from the Western Regions. The soldiers at the city gate are very lax, lazily leaning against the city wall to bask in the sun, only staring at those sneaky guys.
Mo Yu's psychological quality was very good. He swayed left and right while riding on the horse, as if he was enjoying the bumps of the horse. He didn't pay for the city gate, so he rode straight in. After entering the city, Mo Yu's eyes lit up, Hami
The prosperity of Hami is somewhat famous in the Western Region, but this kind of prosperity is still beyond Mo Yu's expectation. The shops on the street are one after another, and the salesmen pushing carts are shouting to attract customers. From the hair accessories of passers-by, you can tell that Hami is a place full of people.
race place.
After finding a random wine shop, Mo Yu got off his horse and threw the reins to the running waiter. The shop was a typical bazaar. Go up the ladder to the second floor, avoid the yellow sand on the ground, and enjoy the street view better.
There were already many people in the bazaar, and it was very noisy and lively. Mo Yu found an inconspicuous low table and sat down, and the waiter quickly brought water. A gold coin can allow the waiter to pick you up. Mo Yu is now
I enjoyed the most attentive service.
Glancing at the bustling crowd, Mo Yu asked, "What are they talking about?"
"This guest doesn't know yet? They are talking about the big events that happened in Hami a few days ago. Do you know, envoy of the Han Dynasty? He is the envoy of the Han Dynasty!"
Mo Yu frowned. The waiter immediately said: "A few years ago, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to contact all countries in the Western Regions to deal with the Xiongnu. Now the Han envoy has arrived in our Hami and lives in a wine shop next to the palace. Speaking of that wine shop, it is quite famous. That one
She was originally the princess, but for some unknown reason she was rewarded by the king to the Han people. Now the Han envoys have reunited with the Han people and live over there, in that one, the highest wine shop!"
"The Han envoys have arrived in Hami?"
"Isn't that right? In a small country like ours, everyone will take a bite of everyone they see. Only the Emperor of the Han Dynasty sent someone here. Our king was stunned as if he were a distinguished guest. I heard that some agreement had been reached with the Han envoys. From now on, Han merchants will
If there is an endless stream of people, our Hami will be even richer!" As the waiter spoke, he quickly cleared the table for Mo Yu.
"This is really good news!"
"Isn't that right? You don't know how in-demand Han merchants' goods are in our Western Region. As long as there are Han merchants' goods in Hami, we still have to worry about nearby merchants not coming. When nearby merchants come, we have to eat and sleep.
The store also benefited from it!”
Mo Yu smiled: "The thirty-six countries in the Western Region are united as one. You, the king of Hami, have secretly formed an alliance with the Han Dynasty, so you are not afraid of the neighboring kings sending troops? Your Hami army may not be able to withstand the city of Hami!"
"Hey!" The waiter sighed: "This is what the people are most worried about, but since this matter is already under discussion, I don't know what we little people are worried about. Whoever captures Hami must have someone to farm and sell wine. We little people
There is always a way to survive, as long as Han merchants can come, no matter who becomes the king!"
"There are still horse thieves in other countries!"
The clerk chuckled: "We, Hami, may not be able to cope with other big countries, but small horse thieves can still do it. I heard that the king followed the advice of the Han envoys and is training the army. Han merchants have promised to supply Hami with some weapons. After a while,
Even if the time comes, it doesn’t matter if Hai Hu’er comes!”
"What if Hai Hu'er is outside the city right now?"
The waiter was stunned and turned to look at Mo Yu. He stared at Mo Yu for a long time and smiled slightly: "Guan Guan is joking. No one in the world knows where Hai Hu'er is. A small place like Hami still doesn't like Hai Hu'er.
!”
Mo Yu didn't speak. He waved his hand and sent the waiter off. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it. Mo Yu could understand the Western dialect, but the people talking next to him were completely different from what the waiter said. No one in Hami believed it.
Haihuer will attack Hami in a short period of time. They are all anticipating Hami's future and have beautiful visions.
After wandering around the city twice, Mo Yu still discovered some problems. The number of soldiers in Hami City had indeed increased a lot. I heard that there was a newly built military camp in the north of the city. When Mo Yu wanted to take a look, he was stopped by someone.
Mo Yu came to the road in front of the palace again. The flag of the Han Dynasty was indeed flying on top of the wine shop on the left side of the palace. Especially the messenger's staff was the most eye-catching. It could be seen from the street entrance.
In order to avoid being discovered by Su Ren's guards guarding the door, Mo Yu just passed by in a hurry and left. Compared with the Hami soldiers, these Su Ren's guards are the most dangerous existence in Hami. They can follow Su Ren here.
, those are all carefully selected people. Mo Yu can be sure that as long as he dares to show his face, he will be discovered by others in a long time.
Hurrying out of the city gate, Mo Yu got on his horse and told Liu Hong about the new situation in Hami City as soon as possible, lest this guy be tricked by Su Ren again. When Mo Yu just left the city, Su Ren took Han Qing from the top of the city building
Flashed out of the shadow, looking at the direction Mo Yu left, Su Ren asked: "Can you scare them?"
Han Qing shook his head slightly: "Maybe it can scare people like Mo Yu who don't have much experience. As for Liu Hong, it's hard to say! The news sent by Ji Yu said that this time Liu Hong brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, which is a lot of people.
Moreover, all of them are desperadoes, so relying solely on Hami’s troops may not be enough!”
"There is nothing we can do about this. We have a small number and can only be smart. Go back and tell Aheqi that starting from tomorrow, the guards guarding the city will be withdrawn, and the soldiers patrolling the streets will not go out on the streets. Let's take a look at Liu Hong's situation first.
Let’s talk about the reaction!”
Mo Yu came back as quickly as he came, and the horse was almost dead from exhaustion. He took the water bottle sent by Liu Hong and drank it hard: "I'm afraid I won't be able to beat Hami!"
"Oh? What do you mean by that?"
"Su Ren is indeed in Hami, but the Han envoy has already arrived and reached an agreement with the King of Hami. A place has been opened in the north of the city, and Hami soldiers are being trained. Moreover, the soldiers coming and going on the street can be seen.
You are definitely not the kind of person who just runs away! Now that they are occupying the city, your people are horse thieves, and attacking the city is not your strong point."
Liu Hong laughed loudly: "You were deceived by Su Ren. He already knew that we were coming, so he acted like this just to show you. Don't worry, we will attack the city tomorrow!" (To be continued)
