Starting from Hami, there is no need to pass through Bailongtan. Along the edge of Bailongtan, we shuttle through the remaining veins of the Tianshan Mountains. However, the roads are fairly flat and there are many trees. Why is Hami a good place? Just because
The conditions in his land are special. Not only is this place the gateway to the Western Regions, it is also protected by the Tianshan Mountains. It can be used for both grazing and farming. It is a rare and good place in the Western Regions.
Populus euphratica is always the most common plant in the Western Region. Populus euphratica is very good at protecting itself. No matter when it looks like rotten wood that is about to decay, it will only grow its leaves quickly when the seeds are about to grow, and then work hard.
Photosynthesis creates powerful conditions for future generations. Populus euphratica also has a characteristic that it can not grow for three to five years. Once the rain is sufficient, it can grow very large, and a Populus euphratica forest will grow in the blink of an eye.
There has been a lot of snowfall this winter, and there are even several small lakes in Bailongtan, so the Populus euphratica forests seen along the way are all growing well. A rabbit suddenly jumped out of the woods, and then he realized that there was a rabbit on the road.
A group of cavalrymen, by the time they were stunned for a blink of an eye and tried to turn around and run back, it was already too late.
Zhang Tong gave Hawking a thumbs up: "The little general is really good at talking. There are only two people that Zhang Tong admires the most in his life. One is Brother Laifu and the other is the little general!"
Hawking laughed loudly: "You have a good idea! But when you get to Chang'an, I will let you meet my second brother. It is said that the second brother's martial arts has improved a lot in recent years. He was able to tie with Laifu when he was in Wenling.
, I’m afraid Laifu is no match now.”
"Oh? So powerful?"
"That's right! My second brother taught me my martial arts skills, and I've only just scratched the surface!"
Zhang Tong looked at Hawking with a longing look on his face and hesitated to speak. Hawking said with a smile: "Among so many people, you and I are the only ones who have a different temper. Let me make you my deputy general. There will be many opportunities for us to make contributions in the future. I
I don’t want to see that my lieutenant is a softie, so go back and ask my second brother to teach you, are you satisfied now?”
Zhang Tong was overjoyed and clasped his fists quickly: "Thank you so much, little general! Hahaha!"
Hawking was even more happy and signaled the guard beside him to pick up the rabbit. After starving for a winter, the rabbit was very thin. It could be said that it was skinny and bones. The guard handed it to Hawking. Hawking only glanced at it and said to Zhang
Channel: "Why are you so thin?"
Zhang Tong smiled and said: "I'm afraid this beast is hungry, and the meat is probably not good to eat. When we get to the river later, how about I, Zhang Tong, show my hand to the young general?"
"Oh? What's your special skill?"
"My family was originally fishing on the bank of the Yellow River. When the Huns came, my father and mother were captured. At that time, the young man had to make a living by himself. He followed his father's example and fished, and finally managed to support his younger brothers and sisters.
, so this craft has never been thrown away!”
Hawking sighed and patted Zhang Tong on the shoulder: "We are all poor people. Let me tell you, when my eldest brother came to my house for the first time, my family was so poor that I had nothing. I was still naked buttocks."
It's jumping on the ground! Hahaha..."
"Hahaha..." Zhang Tong also laughed. Hawking threw the rabbit in his hand into the woods, and he and Zhang Tong ran towards the river. When they were in Hami, he was like eating fish. I heard that the fish in the Hami River
The taste was good, but it was a pity that one was frozen, and the other was because the Hami people were wary of them, so they gave up. Now that Hami is finally out, why not seize this opportunity to try it.
A large group of cavalry followed Hawking and Zhang Tong and ran away. No one cared where the rabbit was thrown. Waiting for Hawking to walk far away, a skinny hand suddenly stretched out from the bush, and it quickly died.
The hare was pulled in, and then there was no movement. Neither the cavalry nor the people walking noticed the slight movement here.
Su Ren can ride a horse, but he cannot ride long distances. What's more, the weather is still a bit cold now, so he is even more reluctant to stay outside. The carriage Zhang Qian rode originally belonged to King Aheqi of Hami, but Su Ren asked for it and removed it.
Regarding the decoration of King Hami, with the flying tiger flag of the Han Dynasty inserted, it became the vehicle of the Han Angel. The carriage was good, and the thick fur completely blocked the cold wind outside. A charcoal basin was placed in the middle. Su Ren was worried about gas poisoning, so he insisted on letting Lang
Open whichever window is closest to him.
Speaking of Langri, Su Ren was a little curious. Langri's appearance did not look like a Westerner, but more like a Huns. A Huns deep in the hinterland of the Western Regions, and he was the only one, was strange in itself. Moreover, since Su
After Ren met Lang Ri, he felt that this child was no ordinary child. He seemed to follow certain rules when it came to eating and walking. He only forgot a little bit when playing.
"Langri, come here!" Su Ren waved to Langri, changed seats with the child, and used his back to block the wind vent. His white bear skin cloak was even more stupid against the cold wind: "Look, it's still
Am I good? Our envoys just sit there and watch, letting you freeze!"
Langri first saluted Su Ren, and then said: "You are a general, the teacher is the Han envoy, and I am the only student. I deserve to be frozen!"
"Hey! You don't appreciate it, do you? Come and exchange it for me!"
Zhang Qian laughed and said: "A great general of Han Dynasty can't get along with a child, and he's not afraid of being laughed at if the news spreads!"
Su Ren glared at Langri and chuckled: "Brother Zhang, you can see the Huns when you get to Yumen. Since this child is a Huns, I believe the Huns will help him find his parents."
Lang Ri, who was still smiling at first, suddenly changed his face when he heard this. He threw himself into Zhang Qian's arms: "I will not go back. I will go wherever the teacher goes! I will never leave the teacher!"
Zhang Qian touched Lang Ri's head lovingly: "My parents are not far away. If your parents are still here, you should go back and have a look. If your parents are willing to let you study with me, my teacher will naturally not refuse, otherwise
, wouldn’t it make me a teacher to kidnap people?”
Langri hugged Zhang Qian even tighter, already crying: "I won't leave, I will never leave the teacher, please don't drive me away, I will study hard, promise to be a good student, and take care of the teacher for the rest of my life!"
Su Ren didn't interrupt, and waited until the master and apprentice had finished expressing their feelings, and then pulled Lang Ri out of Zhang Qian's arms. He stared at Lang Ri with his eyes, without saying a word. The sense of coercion he had cultivated for so many years,
It was not something a child could bear. Langri unconsciously wanted to lower his head, but Su Ren reached out and grabbed his chin, still looking at him coldly.
"Say it!" When Lang Ri lowered his head and didn't even dare to raise his eyelids, Su Ren finally let go and leaned against the side of the carriage, looking at Lang Ri.
Zhang Qian was confused: "General Su, this..."
Su Ren ignored Zhang Qian and looked at Langri: "Tell me, let your teacher also hear who you are?"
Before Lang Ri could say anything, he started to cry first. He threw himself into Zhang Qian's arms and cried. It was a heartbreak that was rare in the world: "Teacher, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry! I'm sorry..."
Finally, Lang Ri stopped crying a little. Zhang Qian wiped away Lang Ri's tears, but Su Ren did not urge him. Lang Ri knelt down in front of the two of them: "Teacher, General Su, my name is not Lang Ri.
My real name is Jin Rixi, and I am the son of King Hunxie of the Xiongnu. Just because I am too human and want to see what people from the Western Regions look like, I took a few guards to Cheshi Country, and met me on the way.
Horse thief, all my men tried to protect me..., and in the end I was the only one left!"
"The son of King Hunxie?" Zhang Qian was shocked. When he looked at Jin Rixi again, his eyes were full of vigilance.
Jin Rixi quickly kowtowed to Zhang Qian: "Teacher, I have no intention of harming you. Ever since I first met you and you gave me knowledge, I have been very yearning for the knowledge of the Han Dynasty. I hope to go to Chang'an one day. Only then
I deceived the teacher incognito, and the teacher Jin Rihui knows his mistake, please punish him!"
Su Ren was also surprised when he heard the word Jin Rixi. Zhang Qian across from him might only know that the child in front of him was the son of the little king of the Huns, but Su Ren knew what role Jin Rixi played in the history of the Han Dynasty.
Characters. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dying, among the ministers who cared for him were Wei Qing's other nephew, Huo Qubing's younger brother Huo Guang, and Sang Hongyang, who had always been loyal. The other and only foreigner was Jin Rixi. It can be seen that
This Jin Rixi was so trusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Su Ren believed in Jin Rixi's words.
Without waiting for Zhang Qian, the teacher, to react, Su Ren pulled Jin Rixi up first: "Get up! It's all over if you tell me. What happened to the son of King Hunxie of the Xiongnu? I'm still friends with your prince Yu Shan!"
"
Jin Rixi was also stunned, and turned to look at Su Ren. Su Ren smiled: "Why don't you believe it? Look what this is!" He casually took out the piece of jade given to him on the receipt, and the lifelike wolf head surprised Jin Rixi.
.
Seeing that Zhang Qian still didn't let go, Su Ren continued: "Brother Zhang, Jin Rixi is a good boy. Although he didn't help us all the way, he made trouble every day. Needless to say, King Hunxie of the Xiongnu
What's wrong with my son? Aren't you scholars who want to spread the teachings of saints to the world? Isn't that right? Let's start with Jin Rixi!"
"Uh!" Zhang Qian was also stunned by what Su Ren said. Although he didn't know who said these words, they sounded good and he nodded involuntarily. Su Ren smiled: "Then this matter is over.
You still call the carriage Langri. As for whose son has met King Hunxie, let’s talk about it, but I heard that King Xiutu and King Hunxie have a good relationship. He also knows you, right?”
Jin Rixi nodded. Su Ren said: "That's good. If I find his nephew for him, he will have to give up at least 20% of the profit!"
Yumen City is still a vision, but the rumors of Su Ren's troubles with Shanshan Kingdom have already spread to Yumen. Now in Yumen, as the news that the Han people are preparing to build a city here spreads like wildfire, it has already spread to parts of the Western Region, and Huns merchants came in advance. For Yumen,
The happiest people about the arrival of these merchants are Lao Wang and King Xiutu. (To be continued)
