Chapter 11, Persian Girl
It was very late to return to the post station. Fu Jiezi hurried to see Suicheng. He knew that Suicheng would not get better for a while. Before he came to his heart, he was begging God to worship Buddha and begging Suicheng for great happiness. He must hold on.
However, when he arrived at the barracks, he was suddenly shocked. The old man Suicheng was eating and drinking a lot and burping all over the ground. There is nothing sick! But next to the old man, there are four girls, three Han girls and a Persian girl.
These three Han girls are all about 15 years old, either beautiful or shy. They can be described as Chunlan and autumn chrysanthemum, each of which is a talent for a while. When they see Fu Jiezi, they salute tremblingly. However, this Persian woman didn't care about Fu Jiezi at all. She looked twelve or three years old. She looked small and exquisite, holding a wide and narrow white diamond mirror as a fan in her hand and chewing raisins with a sharp mouth.
The most shocking thing is that she did not look at herself tremblingly like the three Han girls, but sat on the table where Suicheng was eating, swinging her two calves and kicked Wuda from time to time, causing Uda to just smile, and from time to time throw two raisins into the bowl when Suicheng was not paying attention. , looking at Suicheng eating sand, a person smiled.
Fu Jiezi was stunned by this scene and couldn't help saying, "Mr. Sui..." Suicheng saw Fu Jiezi from afar and strode up and said, "Lord National messenger, have you found General Huo?" Fu Jiezi shook his head and asked, "Mr. Sui, are you all right so soon?"
Suicheng touched the Persian girl's head and smiled, "Thanks to this little girl. She looked in the mirror and I was fine. Unexpectedly, the Persian girl turned her head and touched Suicheng's head and looked up and down at Fu Jiezi, but did not say anything.
Fu Jiezi couldn't touch the door and said, "What kind of mirror?" Sui Cheng looked at the mirror in the Persian girl's hand and said, "That's it." Saying that, he wanted to bring it to Fu Jiezi, but the Persian girl was very nervous and shouted, "No." Suicheng said pleasantly, "Just take a look and get back to you immediately." The Persian woman viciously hit the back of Suicheng's hand with a mirror, and the child's family said, "If you can't say it's okay, you can't. Then rob me and beat your eldest grandson!"
Suicheng was stunned but did not get angry. He smiled and said three times and didn't say much. At least his life was also picked up by this little girl who didn't know his origin.
Fu Jiezi still didn't understand what was going on with this Persian woman. After Suicheng's talk, he roughly understood that the four women were sent by King Loulan to serve Fu Jiezi, but Fu Jiezi was not there, and Wuda and others were busy taking care of Suicheng, but according to Fu Jiezi's instructions, someone gave gifts and refused to them. However, I didn't expect that these Han girls cried and refused to leave. Uda was a little afraid of women, so he couldn't stand women crying, so he had to let them wait and wait for Fu Jiezi to come back before making a decision. These Han girls immediately did not cry and came to help him serve this patient.
Of course, this is not a matter of Fu Jiezi's personal charm. They want to go back to the big man.
Suicheng was an honest and loyal person. When he talked about the tragic fate of these girls, he ran the topic, forgot to talk about how the Persian woman saved him, and went straight to the Han girl.
Fu Jiezi asked three Han girls, two of whom were from Jiuquan and the other from Dunhuang. Because he was beaten by the Huns and captured the Xiongnu north of Loulan, some of them were sold to Loulan by them.
Most of these people are men, and there is only one task, that is, to dig the underground palace, and a few women among them were also sold together, and what they did was more directly, that is, comfort. But King Loulan was quite polite. The three Han girls he found for Fu Jiezi had no comfort. So these three Han girls refused to go back and asked Fu Jiezi to take them back.
Fu Jiezi is going to make an envoy to the Western Regions. How can he take them with him? However, in a foreign country, he can't ignore it when he encounters such hardships the Han people. He said angrily, "How many people are there?" One of the Dunhuang women whispered, "There are a lot of people in the witch tomb."
Fu Jiezi asked the woman to talk about the specific situation again. Unexpectedly, these three women were bought by the king as soon as they arrived at the witch's tomb. They didn't know the situation there, and they didn't even know the way. They just said that in Loulan, they were not far from here.
Fu Jiezi pounded the table and said fiercely, "Okay, I'll ask the king to save these people tomorrow!" The three girls were shocked by him and dared not say more. Suicheng was worried and said, "Your Excellency, General Huo hasn't found it yet. The mission has just begun. We..." Fu Jiezi interrupted, "Huo Yi wants to save, and these Han people also want to be saved."
Suicheng can't say anything more, but he fell into a deep depression. He has been to the Western Regions. He probably knows that the water here is shallow. Now his power is too small, and it is really difficult to carry the sniping of the Huns through these countries.
Fu Jiezi first let the three Han girls go down to rest, but left the Persian girl. He has not figured out why Mr. Suicheng suddenly got better, who this Persian woman is, and how she was sent here with these Han girls.
The Persian woman was obviously a little absent-minded and was still chewing raisins. Seeing the girls leaving, she went out with them without saying a word and ignored Fu Jiezi's words. Fu Jiezi didn't stop her, so he had to ask Suicheng in detail. Suicheng only knew that he was seen by the Persian girl in the mirror she took. As for who the girl was, where she came from, why she came here, and how he could speak Chinese.
Fu Jiezi felt a little big. These days, many strange things have happened, and every time it was unfavorable to him and suffered several losses. This time, he couldn't be careless. And where did this Persian girl come from, what was her name, how could she be cured, what happened to the mirror in her hand, and why she came here? It was because there were too many doubts that he was too worried about the little girl.
When the Persian girl saw that he was like a nagging old lady, she had no patience and shouted angrily, "I don't know, but I don't know. I won't tell you if I know!" After saying that, she snorted and went out again, as if this was her vegetable garden, where she wanted to go. However, there are many secrets in the army that are not allowed to be seen by outsiders, such as the official secrets of the imperial court. Fu Jiezi quickly let the two brothers Wuda and Wuqi guard her. He couldn't let her run around. If necessary, she would tie her up and close it in the corner.
The three Han girls did not dare to speak when they saw his gloomy face. Fu Jiezi called them three times and did not dare to come over, but knelt down without saying a word.
One of the Dunhuang women was bold and said tremblingly, "Your excellency can do whatever you want. I just ask you to take us back to Dunhuang."
Fu Jiezi asked about the specific situation of the witch tomb. The woman said, "There are many people locked there. It's a dungeon. There are many Han people digging underground palaces there. There are fire worshippers guarding them. There are people working day and night. After finishing the work, they are locked up." Fu Jiezi clenched his fist tightly and suppressed his anger and said, "Are you telling the truth?" The woman quickly nodded and said, "The three of us were beaten to the grass valley by the Huns. We were bought by the fire worshippers and bought Loulan. We lived there for a few days, and people were escorted there every day, both men and white women."
Fu Jiezi was suddenly shocked and suddenly thought of Huo Yi.
In the past few days, he hasn't really sent someone to look for it. He said that he was actually looking for Suicheng in the comfort sickness, because he was waiting. He believes that the person who captured Huo Yi has a political purpose, and since he has a purpose, he will definitely appear. I will definitely fall into the trap now. Although this building Lancheng is not big, it is not easy to find such a few people. Now it is different. Knowing that there is such a place to hold Han people, you can try it yourself.
Thinking of this, Fu Jiezi began to worry instead. Before this, he could persuade himself to brake quietly, but at this time, he couldn't sit still when he thought about the safety of the three of Huo Yi and others. Now he thought about it for a while and arranged three Han girls to go down. He changed into a set of night clothes and brought flying escape, sleeve arrows, hiking boots and other assassins and thieves, and let the Wu brothers accompany them. , touching the night and leaving the post station.
According to the Han girl, the witch tomb is built in the north of Loulan, not far from the Sun Temple, according to the mountain. Loulan City is not big. In order to avoid ostentat, Fu Jiezi and the other two did not ride horses and rushed there by their feet, but it didn't take much time to get there.
At this time, the mountain is high and the moon is small, and only the outline is faintly visible in the distant mountains. The huge sun temple looks extremely quiet. The flame tower in front of the temple does not go out day and night. The blazing flame blows around in the night wind. Where the firelight sway, the sun temple, the flame tower, training school, Yuanmen and other places loomed from time, and the wind in the desert The sound bursts, which seemed a little strange.
At this time, it was almost midnight, but the temple of the sun was still crowded, and a large group of red-dressed believers patrolled one after another, which seemed to be very tight.
This is neither a royal palace nor a rich family. It is just a place of religious prayer. It is like a forbidden place in the palace. There is really something wrong.
Thinking of this, Fu Jiezi was not worried, but also a little excited. If this is the same as the Sanqing View of Laoshan, there are only a few miscellaneous Taoists sweeping the floor, which is cold and lonely, which will make people worry. There is a natural reason not to let people enter this place, and this reason is probably to lock Huo Yi, or those hard-working men in the witch tomb.
Fu Jiezi and the Wu brothers lay in the oblique shadow left by the Holy Fire Tower and quietly waited for these red believers to leave. The Wu brothers were all big men. The two of them squatted there, like hills, which were easy to be found. Fu Jiezi decided to enter alone.
