Chapter 21, Elder

It is very eye-catching for such a group of fire worshippers to enter the city. The treatment and status of fire people in Puli are extremely high. Even the king of Puli is also the elder of fire. The system in the country is divided according to the level of fire. This time, there is a figure like the king, almost all Everyone is respectful to this elder, but they don't know that the two women around them are saints of fire religion, which is a higher status than the elders.

Long ago, there were city defense soldiers to welcome him. Puli is not a big country, but a country with 3,000 victorious soldiers, much smaller than Loulan, but the terrain is much better than Loulan. It is dangerous, and there are big rivers and mountains to rely on things, so it is an extremely important country in the Western Regions.

Fu Jiezi asked Su Wei to help him see if there was any news that the Han delegation had entered the city.

Entering the city, Fu Jiezi is a little funny. This country is really interesting. Almost all of them are fire worshippers, dressed in red hemp clothes, but some noble ladies wear silk transported from camels from the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that the Silk Road has brought unprecedented prosperity here.

There are 18 ten soldiers at the checkpoint here, which seems to be very strictly guarded, but there are some postures of the Chang'an Palace. Intuitively tell Fu Jiezi that there is something wrong with this Puli Kingdom.

These soldiers salute the king to the elders who crossed the disaster. Wherever they went, all the people stopped their work, stopped walking, and stopped working. Almost everyone in Puli can more or less speak ancient Persian. Listening to the words of the elders who crossed the disaster, the elders are a little uncomfortable. Habit, he introduced the star saint and Su Wei to the leading soldiers. Although the two saints of the fire religion arrived in Puli State at the same time, the soldiers were even more frightened. These two were bigger than the king.

The star saint and Suwei are obviously used to the scene of being admired by thousands of people. Now there is no stage fright. Suwei and the star saint have changed to standard saint service when they entered the city, all dressed in black saint clothes, which makes Fu Jiezi dare to desecre the star saint anymore. It is difficult for him to make this holy. The fairy-like woman is connected with the bite-loving cat at night. It's a little funny to think about it. What does it feel like to let her wear this dress and sleep with herself when there is no one at night? Thinking about it, he feels too disrespectful to fire religion. He likes the star saint and respects Su Wei and the difficult elders. He loves Wu and Wu. It's not so annoying to fire religion.

When everyone entered the city, Fu Jiezi looked at the city carefully. It was not gorgeous, but it was unusual, like standing on the top of the world. A few strokes of nature outlined the castle.

The news quickly spread to the most heavily guarded place in the city. After a while, several elders in the same costume came out. Fu Jiezi felt that the world was interesting. Five hundred-year-old people with white beards dressed like each other were all in high spirits, as if they were carved out of a mold.

The surrounding car battle suddenly increased, with thousands of people. Although the princess castle was difficult to walk, it was smooth when he entered the city. Fu Jiezi heard from the star saint that the king was also an elder. He took a closer look from the five people and quickly picked it out. The king's spirit is not something that no one can have. The king He looked younger than the elder, but at least he was more than 100 years old. He laughed and came out more and went straight to hug, hug, patted and said something with the elder. The star saint and Su Wei were behind with Fu Jiezi. The king suddenly came to worship the star saint and Su Wei. A total of six elders, as well as the believers and people of the fire religion, all knelt down.

Fu Jiezi stood aside alone, which was very out of tune.

At this time, some people's eyes always look at him. Fu Jiezi can still wave freely in commanding thousands of troops in the army. Now he doesn't feel panic, and he still takes it for granted. That's right. You are the subordinates of the star saint. I'm the prime minister of the star saint. Just say goodbye. I also accept it.

The star saint is ashamed of her heart and is unwilling to focus on Fu Jiezi. For fear of causing other people's discussion, she is busy handing over Fu Jiezi to introduce her.

When the king heard that he was a general from the Han Dynasty, his face was much better. Because the saint rarely came to the Puli Kingdom, he did not worship much. Today, he worshipped, but he was still not used to it. Seeing that Fu Jiezi was an envoy from the Han Dynasty, his heart was shocked. Although the Puli Kingdom had never had a relationship with the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty They have heard of the prestige. They don't know how big and how many people there are in the Han Dynasty, but they know about the Xiongnu. If they can beat the Xiongnu everywhere, it must be a fierce master.

Fu Jiezi is now serious. To maintain the prestige of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, first of all, it lies in his character, and he does not dare to mess around. At present, he asked Su Wei to help say that the main idea is that he is not rude, but the etiquette is different. Please forgive him.

The king did not dare to look down on the general from the Han Dynasty. He was an elder over 100 years old. Fu Jiezi was just a young general in his twenties. He should not have this courtesy, but the hierarchy and system of fire religion were not as strong as the Han people, so he was also respectful to Fu Jiezi, which made Fu Jiezi A little awkward.

From leaving Guizi, Fu Jiezi still felt so lively for the first time, and his mood suddenly improved a lot. At the invitation of the king, he entered the castle with the star saint, Su Wei, and the other five elders. There was no princess in the princess castle. This was Fu Jiezi's first impression, and he didn't even have a woman, but he entered After the palace, Fu Jiezi obviously felt the style of the palace of Puli. The style was completely different from that of the Central Plains. The palace was very casual, not as many rules as the Central Plains Palace. This was beyond Fu Jiezi's expectation. The people who watched the fire religion always did things rigidly. There should be many rules and entered the palace. Fu Jiezi felt that he had come to the Temple of the Sun.

It is no wonder that this king is an elder of fire religion, and even the palace is built by the fire temple.

Fu Jiezi has been sitting next to Su Wei because she didn't understand the language. It was originally taboo to sit next to the saint, but the matter was special, and the king could not go too much against Fu Jiezi's intention, so he had to do it. The star saint also sat on the other side of Fu Jiezi as a matter of course. Fu Jiezi asked Su Wei, the eight elders. Six came, but they didn't see the difficult elders. Haven't they entered the city yet?

Su Wei said, "Xiaofu, don't worry, it should be. Don't talk to us more now. I'll talk to you later." Fu Jiezi knew that he was close to the saint and violated the rules of fire religion, but he was a general from the Han Dynasty. With the excuse of such a big enough to break through the sky and the etiquette system, it was inconvenient for the people of the fire religion to say anything. Since they regard themselves as guests, they still respect their masters more.

After a while, the king came to ask Fu Jiezi to ask questions, which was related to the establishment of diplomatic relations in the Han Dynasty. Naturally, Pu Liguo attached great importance to it. The elders of the fire religion were all their own people. They could talk about it slowly, but they were very attentive to Fu Jiezi for fear of neglecting him.

Su Wei has to be called for this matter. Only she can be an interpreter and ask some common questions. Fu Jiezi has many purposes for this trip, mainly to go to Dawan to ask for a horse. This is the task in the official document. The hidden purpose is to go to the Dayue family to contact the allies, and secondly, what has been done, to Loulan and Guizi to ask for guilt. Finally, another task is to attract the Allies in the Western Regions. Except for the small country that can't turn over the big waves, other countries have to explain this situation.

The king proposed to establish exchanges with the Han Dynasty, with trade on the Silk Road as the main form. Puli traded with the Han Dynasty, but did not interfere in military affairs.

Fu Jiezi did not expect the Pu Li Kingdom to support militarily. Such a country with only 3,000 victorious soldiers is really a drop in the bucket for the Han. At present, he has to agree to the routine and ask the king to write a document, find someone to translate his own handwriting, and finally the king's seal. This has to be considered by the king, so it is suspended.

Fu Jiezi couldn't help thinking of Father Su. If Father Su's caravan came here, taking advantage of this interaction between Pu Li and the Han Dynasty, Pu Li would have some benefits to the Han Dynasty first, so that Father Su could take the opportunity to make a lot of money.

Fu Jiezi didn't know why he thought of Father Su. He suddenly wanted to see that clever girl, and he didn't know what happened to them now.

Thinking of this, Fu Jiezi asked. The king did not know such a specific matter, so he called Langguan to investigate. Fu Jiezi asked about the difficult elders again. The king couldn't help looking at Fu Jiezi differently. The difficult elders were the heads of the eight elders and were respected as elders. Even the king had to call him an old brother. Since Fu Jiezi and the Unan old elder are old friends, they are also acquaintances, no longer just a general from the Han Dynasty.

The king told him that the difficult elder had not yet come, and another elder was still on his way. He may have encountered some trouble and arrived in a few days. As for the trouble, the king did not mean to say.
