Legend of Fire Worship

Chapter 18, Yesterday's Great Wall, today's wisp of fragrant soul

Fu Jiezi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this and said, "General Car Guard, do you mean that the king is dying?"

General Hu said, "The king misses the queen and becomes ill. I'm afraid that he will die soon. This time, the messenger of the Xiongnu took Prince An back to Loulan to prepare for succession. Prince Angui is extreme. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for the messenger of Fu here. Please leave the city as soon as possible.

Fu Jiezi said, "General Che Hu, is the Xiongnu's envoy in Loulan City?"

Che Hu shook his head and said, "Fu messenger, I think the Xiongnu's envoy has learned the trace of Fu messenger this time. Don't make any other plans. The 3,000 people they entered the city, and the whole Loulan City was shocked. Fu messenger, come with me. I'll escort you out of the city.

Fu Jiezi sighed and said, "When I entered the city, I was going to worship the queen, but now... No, General Chehu, I must go to worship the queen."

General Hu said, "It's good that the messenger Fu has this intention. The car protection will definitely handle this for you. Fu messenger, listen to me and get out of the city quickly, otherwise you can't leave even if you want to leave when the gates are closed.

Fu Jiezi pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, everything is arranged by the general." After saying that, he asked, "General, do you know where the Han Dynasty Tuntian troops are now?" General Chehu said, "A few days ago, the Tuntian Division of the Han Dynasty had left the canal and plough and came to the end, but it has disappeared since the day before yesterday. If I guess correctly, the Tuntian troops should be in the mountain country now."

The general of the car guard looked very anxious and said, "General Fu, please go quickly. The post manager was just ready to inform, and he has been intercepted by me, but more than 100 of you can't hide. If the Xiongnu's envoys meet, the consequences will be unimaginable. General Fu, please think about your own safety and our small country.

Fu Jiezi understood the meaning of car protection. If he died in Loulan, then the Han Dynasty would never give up. Loulan had no capital to offend the Han Dynasty at all, but the Huns were arrogant and rude when they came here, and they also did not dare to offend them.

Therefore, Che Huyi is out of his friendship, and on the other hand, he wants to save Lou Lan from the chaos of swords and soldiers.

"Well, General Chehu, please be sure to worship the queen for me. The queen has the virtue of saving lives for me. I really feel guilty that she died." Fu Jiezi is inconvenient to say that the queen was largely killed by Pan Youyun, and Pan Youyun has now become his wife. This made Fu Jiezi feel sorry for the queen.

General Che Hu was stunned and said in a low voice, "General Fu, do you really want to worship the queen?"

Fu Jiezi raised his head violently and said, "Not bad. As long as my team is not in danger, even if it is risky, I will say goodbye. General Che Hu was stunned for a while and said, "Okay, General Fu, you arrange for the team to leave the city first, and then come here."

Fu Jiezi was excited and said, "Can General Che Hu have a way?"

The general said, "I dare not say that I will definitely enter the palace, but I am 70% sure." Fu Jiezi hurriedly said, "Well, I will organize people to go out of the city." General Chehu looked a little excited, but finally said nothing more. Fu Jiezi returned to the post house under the escort of the mysterious hat man sent by the car guard. Just as Fu Jiezi was about to call Lu Ming, Lu Ming came over in a hurry and said, " boss, Zheng Ji's spy has arrived."

Fu Jiezi's heart suddenly lighted and said, "What, Zheng Ji's people have arrived? Where is it?"

Lu Ming took Fu Jiezi in. There was a man in his thirties, not someone else, but a colleague of Zheng Ji. Fu Jiezi also met him, named Sima Xi. Sima Xi saluted Fu Jiezi and said, "General Fu, you are back."

Fu Jiezi was not polite to him, but only asked him to sit down and said, "Captain Sima, where are your troops everywhere now? We followed and lost it."

Sima Xi said, "In the past few days, we have set out from Quli and learned that the Xiongnu's envoy was on the Cheshi Road, that is, north of Loulan, so we went north from the irrigation port in the west of the end of the world and bypassed Loulan to the mountain country. Unexpectedly, the envoy of the Xiongnu was unusual. They gave up the North Road and unexpectedly came to Loulan. . We rushed empty on the driver's road, and now we have turned to a mountain pass 50 miles north of Ma Erju. I came to inquire about the news. I didn't want to happen to hear that a Han envoy had entered the city, so I rushed over.

Even if Zheng Ji's place was found, Fu Jiezi's heart was much more secure. Yesterday, Lu Ming kept saying that he had found the wrong place, but Fu Jiezi still insisted on finding it. Now it seems that he is right. Zheng Ji's troops are indeed going north, but there is a problem. Fu Jiezi said, "Since you are here Loulan City, why didn't your troops go directly to the city?

Sima Xi said, "General Fu doesn't know that if Loulan City is not Gibby now. Nowadays, the king's body is getting weaker, Loulan's state affairs are declining, and there have been dozens of missing Han caravans in Loulan. We suspect that Loulan secretly colluded with the Xiongnu to intercept the Han people. So in order to be safe, I secretly came to Loulan City to explore the situation first.

Fu Jiezi's face changed slightly after hearing this. Lou Lan intercepted the Han man caravan, so isn't it very possible for Father Su's caravan?

Moreover, he has confirmed that Father Su's caravan has been in danger, but he doesn't know if it is safe now. If Father Su and his party arrive in Loulan, wouldn't it be more dangerous? Lu Ming knew Fu Jiezi's thoughts and said, " boss, it seems that there is indeed a problem with this Loulan. We have to find a way."

Fu Jiezi roughly said the meaning of General Che Hu and said, "It seems that Lou Lan is indeed a dangerous place. We immediately left here and went north to meet Zheng Ji's troops. However, what we are looking for is the Xiongnu's envoy, and now we have to find a way to solve it. This is also the best way to relieve the danger of the Han caravan.

Lu Ming was a little surprised and said, " boss, do you mean to eliminate the Xiongnu envoy in Loulan? Can this be done?"

Fu Jiezi said, "It's man-made. After a while, you and Lieutenant Sima will go out of the city first. The general and I still have something to do. As for the next step, we will talk about it when I arrive. Lu Ming hesitated and said, " boss, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to be here alone. In my opinion, it's better to leave some people down."

Thinking that the Queen's affairs can be said to be her own private affairs, and she can't take risks with her subordinates. Fu Jiezi said, "No need. It's inconvenient if there are many people. The general has been arranged. You can get out of the city as soon as possible.

When Sima Xi saw that Fu Jiezi wanted to stay in the city, he was also puzzled and said, "General Fu, why do you stay here in this place of right and wrong? I think it's better to leave first." Fu Jiezi shook his head and said, "No. You go first. I will find you tomorrow morning at the latest.

Lu Ming saw Fu Jiezi insisting repeatedly and said, " boss, then be careful." After saying that, I went to arrange it with Sima Xi.

At this time, the mysterious man took the caravan out of the city. Because it was ready for battle at any time, the team quickly set out and walked out from the west gate without saying a word and headed north. Fu Jiezi changed into a Loulan suit and cut off a big hat on his head, which looked similar to the mysterious doorman. When he came to the flower viewing pavilion, the general was already waiting here.

General Carguard took a set of eagle guard's clothes and said, "General Fu, please be wronged." Fu Jiezi immediately put on it. This is the most common dress of the bald eagle soldiers in the palace. Because of the big difference between the Han people and the Loulan people, Fu Jiezi also cut a hat on his head.

General Che Hu said, "In a moment, when the guards change shifts, I will arrange General Fu to go in." Fu Jiezi arched his hand and said, "But listen to the general's arrangement. As long as I can go to the palace to meet the queen, I can do anything.

General Che Hu looked at Fu Jiezi with some surprise. In his opinion, Fu Jiezi and Lou Lan were just a little political relationship. It was reasonable for him to come to worship when the queen died, but he did not expect Fu Jiezi to be so persistent.

Fu Jiezi was stunned when he saw the car's hair care and said, "General Car Protector, let's go. Has the queen been buried in the palace and hasn't moved out? General Anhu said, "According to Loulan's custom, people who have been soiled can no longer move. Moreover, the king did not dare to anger the Huns, so he kept it strictly confidential. It was just a pile of loess, and there was not even a monument. General Che Hu said that his hand hit the table fiercely and looked very angry. He said, "Fu messenger, let me ask you a word."

Fu Jiezi said, "General Che Hu has something to say directly."

General Che Hu sat aside, drank two sips of wine, and said hatefully, "Your Han Dynasty is known as a million, isn't that good?"

Fu Jiezi said, "It's true."

The general's voice suddenly became louder, almost roaring and said, "Then why did hundreds of people come to the Western Region to station soldiers? If 50,000 troops are stationed in Puchanghai, the Xiongnu army dares to do so! Our small country does not want to suffer from the Xiongnu again, but the army of the Han Dynasty has repeatedly arrived. What on earth is this?

Fu Jiezi was shocked and said, "What does this mean, General Che Hu?"

The car escort said, "Fu messenger, do you think the king really likes to deal with the Xiongnu? However, your Han Dynasty army has never been able to reach it. How can our Loulan dare to take this risk to fight against the Xiongnu? Fu messenger, can you give us a letter of approval? If the army of the Han Dynasty can assist Lou Lan, even if I don't want to, I will be the first to oppose the Xiongnu!"

Fu Jiezi was very excited when he heard this, but he was excited. He also knew that the soldiers of the Han Dynasty were not as good-tuned as the Xiongnu, and they came thousands of miles away to work hard and hurt the people and money. Without perfect certainty, the court would not have swept all directions like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

General Che Hu didn't seem to care about Fu Jiezi's expression and said to himself: "The queen is dead, and she can't even have a monument. The king has to worship his wife secretly. Our Loulan Xiaoguo wants to ask for help from the Han Dynasty, but the assistance of the Han Dynasty has not been delayed. Now the messenger of the Xiongnu In our Loulan territory, we don't even dare to say anything. Fu messenger, when will this day be? Can your Han army come to our Loulan Kingdom?

Fu Jiezi suddenly became so angry when he saw the calm general of the car guard. What was in his heart? The attitude of the Han Dynasty towards the Western Regions was not as clear as that Fu Jiezi said in the Western Regions, so that many things, not only himself, but also the princess and many people in the Western Regions who wanted to oppose the Xiongnu did not dare to make a big move. This is the shortcoming of the Han army. The mobility is too small and far away, which makes the Huns who are far smaller than the Han Dynasty unscrupulous in the Western Regions.

"General Car Guard, don't worry. We have now united the Wusun Kingdom, which is the largest country in your Western Regions. At that time, Wusun and the Han Dynasty will attack from the east and west. At that time, Loulan will no longer have to suffer from the Xiongnu and protect the general. You should know how the Han Dynasty and Loulan are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and how to spend money and manpower to mobilize the army, so there is no definite way. Needle, how could the army of the Han Dynasty attack casually? Let me tell General Chehu that today's Xiongnu envoys are used to assist the Huns' envoys. In Wusun, we were only one step away from success. The Xiongnu felt a huge crisis and then transferred troops to Wusun. That's what we came to intercept the Huns' envoy this time.

General couldn't help but be moved. At this time, he also knew something, but Fu Jiezi said, he was still very excited.

General Hu said, "Fu, do you mean that the army of the Han Dynasty can drive into the bank of my Peacock River?"

Fu Jiezi said, "If Wusun agrees to send troops, our Han army can come out immediately."

He said this righteously. He said a lot of deceptive nonsense, and sometimes even he believed it himself. If the Han Dynasty could really transfer tens of thousands of troops to the Western Regions and still use himself to run back and forth so hard, he could directly beat out the Xiongnu. However, this can't be said in front of the people of the Western Regions. Only the Western Regions must move first before the army of the Han Dynasty can start.

"However, the only difficulty now is that the Xiongnu princess invited Xiongnu troops to Wusun. If Wusun dares not send troops because of the arrival of the Xiongnu envoy, then things will be bad. Therefore, this time, we still have a group of people who went to Shanguo and Shache to recruit troops. Now Shanshan and other countries smaller than Loulan have joined our Han Dynasty, General Che Hu. You are now the auxiliary country of Loulan and are in charge of most of Loulan's soldiers and horses. If you can persuade the king to send troops to help, my Han Dynasty's army will not Sun can be stationed in the Western Regions. Not only Loulan, but also many countries on the Peacock River have asked troops to protect the Han Dynasty. Loulan will no longer suffer from the Xiongnu.

The general just smiled bitterly and said, "The experience of the previous war is still in front of us. I'm afraid it's very difficult. Hey, Fu messenger, it's almost time now. Let's go."

Fu Jiezi was stunned for a moment and stopped talking. He followed the general all the way.

The palace is not far from here. Fu Jiezi still remembers that when he first arrived in Loulan, the queen came here to invite him to the house. Thinking of the past, Fu Jiezi felt a little pain in his heart. Although he was the queen's own son, he still hated Prince Angui.

After a while, he arrived at the palace. General Che Hu took a team of eagle guards into the palace, because this was General Che Hu's confidant, and most of them knew Fu Jiezi. Fu Jiezi just went to worship the queen, which made many soldiers very convinced him.

He entered Loulan's palace very smoothly. Loulan was magnificent, but the establishment of the palace was ordinary. It was not big or magnificent. The guards were far less than Chang'an and did not need to lead the way. Fu Jiezi was familiar with the queen's back garden. The mandala flowers here were in full bloom, and the queen's tomb. There is no trace of stone.

There is a trace of intoxication in the fragrance of mandala flowers. Fu Jiezi knows that it is fascinating, but in this environment, perhaps everyone who comes here hopes to be intoxicated.

A sad place.

Fu Jiezi sighed and made a big salute to the queen according to the Han Dynasty. Here, he could not burn paper, do legal things, and did not pay tribute to incense. The queen, who used to be half a day on the roof of the orchid, is now so desolate.

Yesterday's Great Wall, today's wisp of fragrant soul.

Fu Jiezi suddenly felt a heartache.

At this moment, Fu Jiezi suddenly found that the general car guard looked different, and his instinctive vigilance made him pay a lot of attention. In this Western Region, what you should trust most is not others, but your own eyes, and the general is no exception.

General Chehu also made a big salute to the queen's grave. He stood next to Fu Jiezi without saying a word, but under Fu Jiezi's oblique eyes, it could be seen that General Chehu's eyes were shining with heat, as well as hatred and pity.

Fu Jiezi was secretly shocked. He knew that this kind of heat could only be found when he looked at Yin Yin, and even Pan Youyun's Gunia was inferior. It was a kind of deep love that could only be understood and understood after the separation of life and death.

Is it...

Fu Jiezi still gave up this idea. Now the queen has passed away, and everything has become a thing of the past. Let him bury the heart of the general's protection. At least for the queen, Fu Jiezi feels that the queen is much happier, although his son is not satisfactory, although his husband I didn't do my duty, but there were still people caring about her and meditated on her.

"Fu messenger, do you know what is the most important thing in my heart?" General Che Hu smiled bleakly. Although he didn't think much about it, he was straightforward and could not be bullied. He was not a simple person. He probably found Fu Jiezi's eyes looking at him, so he asked.

Fu Jiezi was unwilling to take out other people's thoughts and shook his head and said, "When can General Che Hu's most want to get rid of the plague of the Xiongnu?"

The general of the car guard smiled faintly and shook his head and said, "No. What I want most now is when I can build a grave for the queen, on which the queen's name can be written in large characters. If this wish can be achieved, I will die without complaint!"

General Car Guard said categorically. Fu Jiezi was shocked again when he heard it.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a clear and floating footsteps behind me, with a few coughs.

General's face changed slightly and he said, "Fu messenger, it's the king who came." Then he was so familiar that he pulled Fu Jiezi to hide in the mandala flowers aside, looking familiar.
