Chapter 20, Mandala and the Golden Snake

Seeing An Gui, Geng Long grabbed his rope and said, "An Gui, take us to see your mother." When Prince Angui saw Loulan's woman, he was a little anxious and said in Loulan's language, "Maya, why are you here?"

Maya hurried forward to hug An Gui and said, "I have told the general of the Han Dynasty." Prince Angui was a little angry and shouted, "Who told you to say it?" Maya was a little sad and said, "If you don't tell them, they will arrest you to Chang'an. You know, the two protons that went to Chang'an last time didn't come back. I don't want you to have something to do."

Prince Angui was still angry, but he no longer complained about Maya.

Geng Long said urgently, "Where are the remains of the queen? Take me to have a look."

Prince An Gui hummed and walked straight ahead. Fu Jiezi and Geng Long followed him and soon came to the palace of Loulan. An Gui took them to a half-large garden. Loulan City was not a desert area, but a fertile place of water and grass. Outside the city was a desert, and the geographical boundary was extremely obvious.

There are mostly some more precious flowers in the garden, most of which are species from the Western Regions. Although Fu Jiezi was born in the aristocracy, he only knew a very small part of it. One of the most is the mandala, large purple petals with acupuncture. This kind of flower is also found in the Han Dynasty, which is poisonous from the Western Regions (present India) Degree, later known as Tianzhu) is an extremely rare species, so Fu Jiezi remembers clearly that this flower has the effect of psychedelic and anesthesia. The name of the flower means the altar, which often means merit and sages. If the queen can be buried here, it is safe.

Geng Long saw that there was nothing here, no grave, no tomb, not even a mound. Prince Angui pointed to the mandala flower and said, "My mother buried it here. I was temporarily buried here in a box. In order to hide my ears and eyes, I did not hold any ceremony, pressed the smell with the fragrance of the mandala flowers, and did not tell anything. Only Maya knows."

Geng Long was stunned and suddenly strode forward. He looked at the mandala flowerbed and couldn't speak. He watched the flowerbed knelt down unconsciously and said, "Sister, I'm late."

Fu Jiezi sighed and asked Geng Long to talk to the queen here. He said to An Gui, "Prince, come out with me." Prince Angui seemed unwilling, but he still went.

Because of the queen's matter, Fu Jiezi was much more polite to Prince An Gui.

In many cases, a bad person occasionally does a good thing, which often gets great respect. On the contrary, if a good man accidentally does a bad thing, almost everyone will be disgusted.

Prince Angui's move undoubtedly made a good impression on Fu Jiezi. Fu Jiezi and Prince An Gui talked for a while. Prince An Gui had great predelusions about him and his tone was very bad. Fu Jiezi was also annoyed. There was little favorable for him left. Maya listened to him and hinted Prince An Gui not to speak too much. Prince An Gui just sneered.

Fu Jiezi said, "Where is Wei Tu Ji now?"

Prince Angui was sadly and said, Maya said, "General of the Han Dynasty, Wei Tuqi is in the palace. I'll take you there. You must forgive An Gui. He was also forced."

Fu Jiezi ignored An Gui and said to Maya, "Okay, as long as Wei Tuqi is still alive, I can forgive this boy." Maya thanked repeatedly, took Fu Jiezi to the house and came to a secret door in the house. The secret door was made of black boulders. It could be seen that it was quite old. Maya said, "General of the Han Dynasty, wait a moment, I'll get the golden snake."

Fu Jiezi was stunned and said, "Golden Snake? What are you doing?" Maya said, "The golden snake is a very poisonous snake in our desert. It will always be more than a foot long and not big. It is the only key to this stone door."

Fu Jiezi has never heard that the golden snake can also make keys. Generally speaking, this kind of poisonous snake is used by some magicians to refine poison, medicine and alchemy.

Maya took out a very short tooth flute from the sleeves, about the length of a finger, and gently put it between his lips. A very sad flute sounded. Just once, a golden light flashed in a grotto near the stone gate, and a small snake that was not even a foot long slid out of the grotto like falling fat water. There was golden light under his body, holding a very sharp head, but his two eyes were very big, and he spit letters in his mouth, which looked scary. After all, Fu Jiezi was on guard against Maya and An Gui, and saw the little golden needle involuntarily holding the hilt of the sword.

Maya saw the little golden snake coming out and stretched out her hand. The little golden snake obediently rushed to her arm and wrapped it around her wrist. Maya said, "The generals of the Han Dynasty don't have to be afraid. It won't hurt people randomly." Saying that, he sent the little golden snake to the stone door. There were dozens of small holes on the stone gate. The little golden snake flashed from Maya's arm, so fast that Fu Jiezi only saw a golden light. He couldn't help but be terrified. If this golden snake is used as a killing weapon, it can kill invisibly and powerful.

After a while, the little golden snake slipped out of a small hole again, and the stone door suddenly opened. Maya said, "General of the Han Dynasty, Wei Tuqi is in there." Fu Jiezi was cautious and didn't go in. He just said, "Maya, you brought him out."

Maya answered and clapped her hands inside. After a while, two guards in black came out with Wei Tuqi. At this time, Wei Tuqi's eyes were covered with black cloth and could not see anything. He was cursing An Gui. What he scolded Lou Lan, and Fu Jiezi couldn't understand, but his tone was indeed a curse. Fu Jiezi saw that it was indeed Lieutenant Tuqi and said, "You tortured him so much?"

An Gui snorted coldly and said, "It's polite that I didn't kill him." Wei Tuqi was locked in the dark for a long time. At this time, the black cloth on his eyes could not be removed. He was wearing it for a while and did not see anyone coming. After scolding for a while, Fu Jiezi said, "Wei Tuqi, stop quarreling and go out with me."

Wei Tuqi recognized Fu Jiezi's voice and immediately seemed to be a savior and shouted, "Is it the messenger of the Han Dynasty? You take me to see my father and mother, and then he will kill me! I want my father and queen to condemn him!" Prince Angui snorted coldly, "My mother is dead, and my father has also been taken away by the Huns. You'd better save it."

"Is the queen dead?" Wei Tuqi was bombarded by five thunderbolts and lost his voice, "You lied to me, how could the mother die?" Prince Angui felt guilty and snorted angrily and ignored him.

Seeing that Wei Tu Ji at this time was like a madman, Fu Jiezi thought that the two children born by the queen did not have a weapon, and his heart was also very uncomfortable, so he ordered the two to be taken to the Han army camp together with Maya for treatment.

In the afternoon, General Chehu came to report that General Alke's 30,000 elite army had begun to fight with Guizi. At this time, he was fighting at the end of the black wind. I'm afraid it would take some time to find a victory or defeat. More than 30,000 remnants of the Xiongnu were also in Guizi territory. He could not rescue the king and came to ask for troops from the Han army.

Geng Long's army received Huo Guang's military order to go to attack Loulan, and did not get the military order to attack Guizi. He did not have the right to mobilize troops to attack other countries without authorization. He just let Zheng Ji's army hoard the border of Guizi, temporarily played a deterrent role and sent the marquis back to Chang'an for instructions.

Geng Long has dug up the remains of the queen. Fu Jiezi and Yuan Tong are Taoists, and there are special legal affairs for the dead, but Geng Long was worried about the two and did not ask for them. Fu Jiezi took the initiative to ask Yuan Tong to do justice for the queen. This is a major event related to whether the queen rests or not, and Geng Long did not refuse.

After finishing the legal work, Geng Long cremated the remains of the queen, leaving the ashes and bringing them back to Dunhuang for burial later. He hated the fire worship. What a bullshit punishment, so that the queen died without leaving a whole body. Fu Jiezi knew that Su Wei was a person of the fire religion and was particularly unbearable about cremation, so he paid special attention to it. He didn't want Su Wei to follow Yuantong for a long time, and his whole body was almost Chineseized. She didn't say anything. She just avoided it, which was a respect for fire religion and Taoist understanding.

That night, the ancient god king came to see Fu Jiezi and actually pleaded for Prince An Gui. Fu Jiezi was very surprised and said, "Your Majesty, Prince An Gui is seriously guilty, and there will not be too many people in Loulan to obey. Lou Lan still has to be in charge of the prince. Moreover, Prince Angui has the intention to kill you, and the prince is afraid that this move will be thought out. Privately, Fu Jiezi hoped that the ancient god king would be the king of Loulan, which was good for the big man. Prince Angui was too dangerous, and Wei Tuqi and the king were too weak.

The ancient king laughed and said, "General, you may have misread me. I am not interested in this position. Loulan is a small country and is under great pressure between big countries. The king is a thankless job. I'm afraid I can't do it. Now the king is still in the hands of the Huns. Loulan's top priority is to rescue him.

From the perspective of the Han Dynasty, it doesn't matter whether the king can save it or not. Loulan 40,000 people are afraid that they can't find a king who is willing to listen to the Han people? In addition, the king had reversed, and his weak nature could not withstand the pressure of the Xiongnu, Fu Jiezi felt very bad about him, and the queen was dead, so he really didn't have much interest in this chicken rib king.

The ancient god king said, "Messenger, in my opinion, please return to the prince and rescue the king." Fu Jiezi said, "I'm afraid Prince Angui doesn't have this ability." The ancient god king said, "If An Gui is in charge of the prince, I can help him until the king is rescued."

The ancient god king is willing to contribute. No matter what the ancient god king has, it will be of good for the Han Dynasty. Fu Jiezi said, "Well, it is up to General Geng to make a decision." After asking Geng Long to talk about this, Geng Long thought about his two nephews. Although Prince An Gui was hateful, he had some ability. Although Wei Tuji was not as arrogant as Prince An Gui, he was more obedient. Coupled with the death of the queen, he proposed that Wei Tu Gu to be the head.

I didn't want the ancient god king to laugh and said, "Can a useless person take over something? Besides, Prince Angui is a slaughter made by the Xiongnu, and it is convenient for him to save the king. Geng Long was not in the mood to compete with the ancient god king. Anyway, his sister's two sons didn't like him. Just pick them casually. The ancient god king rarely came out to take charge, which more or less followed his meaning.

When Prince Angui learned about this, he looked at the ancient god king strangely and seemed to understand why this uncle, who had a deep hatred with him, wanted to help him.

When Maya learned that Prince Angui was released, she made a special trip to the Han army camp to thank him. She also sent someone to prepare a banquet to invite Fu Jiezi, Geng Long and others.

Loulan was established, and Fu Jiezi was eager to leave. Loulan was not his task. The place he should go was Dawan and Dayue, and he didn't eat the banquet. He prepared the camel team and horse team that night and was ready to leave Loulan. The things here should be handed over to Geng Long.
