The dim light flickered, Liu Xun opened a thick bamboo slip, and found out the recital of the Western Regions, which was given to him by Chang Hui, and it was not actually a secret recital, but it was not disclosed in the court.After reading the line of words, Liu Xun looked ahead with confused eyes, a round of crescent moon hanging in the sky outside the Weiyang Palace, and a pale yellow halo shone on the earth.Chang Hui played the meaning of the compromise Liu Xun understood that Princess Qu Ge fled from the Xiongnu without permission and begged to return to the Han Dynasty, but Chang Hui summed up the defeat in the war, and felt that the political and intelligence work of our Han Dynasty was not enough, so that the military information could not be conveyed in time, and the battle missed a good opportunity, which ultimately led to the failure to complete the set task.Of course, in this battle, I have to deny that Chang Hui is suspected of shirking responsibility, and Emperor Xuan of Han himself is suspected of making mistakes, but the two seem to think of a piece at this moment, and originally planned to punish Chang Hui Zheng Ji and others, so Liu Xun thought about it and forgot it."
Someone."
shouted to the eunuch outside the door, and immediately a eunuch came in."
Your Majesty."
The eunuch knelt on the ground and said.Liu Xun wrote a few words on a roll of white silk on the table, rolled up the white silk and put it in a book bucket and handed it to the eunuch and said, "This is a letter to Chang Hui, you send someone to send it to the canal plough in the starry night.""
No."
The eunuch did not dare to raise his head, respectfully accepted the letter, and withdrew.The snow-capped mountains are majestic, Chang Hui raised his eyes and looked, and then looked at the baby in his hand, and said worriedly: "This snow-capped mountain is so cold, we can't stand it through the snowy mountain, not to mention a baby, if it is sick on the road, what should it be" Zheng Ji looked up at the snow-capped mountain, looked down at Chang Hui and said: "Don't worry, this is the branch of Kunlun Mountain, this mountain is there all year round, the top is winter, the bottom is spring, below is autumn, and the bottom is summer."
Babies are perfectly fine. ”"Is it" Chang Hui looked at Zheng Ji with a questioning look on his face, and said, "It's really strange that there are still all year round on this mountain." ”Thinking that Zheng Ji has lived in the Western Regions for a few years, he should have some understanding of the terrain in this area.Since he said so, Chang Hui had to believe it.The group rode horses and began to move forward, Chang Hui held the baby in his arms, and Zheng Ji rode a horse to take charge of the long sword guard.A group of retreating soldiers with an abandoned baby, and they didn't know if they could get to the canal plough smoothly After sending Dou Mo away, Feng Shu returned to the inn with the baby, only to see the inn coming and going, the pedestrians' faces were in a hurry, and even Duduge and a few entourage soldiers hurried out of the door with luggage.Feng Shu and Ying'er hurriedly greeted them and asked, "What's the matter, did the shopkeeper drive you out?"
"I don't know, I heard that the Hun army came over, and the shopkeeper said that the store is not open, let's run for our lives."
I said it's strange, I'm a Huns, why run away, but they still don't let me. ”Duduge said angrily to Feng Shu.turned his head to look at the store manager and Xiao Er, who were rushing people in the store, with an angry face."
This shop may have been opened by the Han Chinese, and it is not surprising that they were afraid of the Huns."
Feng Shu comforted, took the burden that Duduge had already helped her and Ying'er pack up, and said, "It's okay, anyway, we are going west to plow, and we will come back to pick you up at this time." ”The group then began to walk west with their baggage.When it was time to leave the town, Feng Shu sent a few Han soldiers to buy a few horses, but the walking was always too slow, and the road needed more entanglement, and riding horses saved time and money.Kunlun Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, at this time Chang Hui and Zheng Ji and their entourage have already walked half the way, all the way to the march and climb the mountain, the soldiers are a little unbearable, Chang Hui then ordered the army to rest in place for a while before hurrying.Looking down at the baby in his arms, seeing that the baby was already asleep with his eyes closed, Chang Hui smiled and said, "You will sleep, but you are tired of us." ”"This kid hasn't been named yet, otherwise I won't know what to call him in the future, so why don't I name him now" Zheng Ji glanced at the baby in Chang Hui's arms and asked.Chang Hui looked up at Zheng Ji, thought urgently in his mind, and said: "Since you picked it up in the Western Regions, it's better to call it Xi'er, how about it" lowered his head and thought about it: "As for the surname" Chang Hui didn't finish his sentence, Zheng Ji grabbed the words: "Since I picked it up, then follow my surname, just call it Zheng Xi." ”Chang Hui was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Then from now on, he will be your son." ”"Anyway, I don't have any children, and I really want a child, it's not good, I picked one up for nothing, and you will be his godfather in the future, and I will be his father."
Zheng Ji said to Chang Hui."
It's a good thing, but you haven't married yet, I'm afraid it's not okay for this child to have a father or a mother, in my opinion, you better get a daughter-in-law as soon as possible."
Chang Hui laughed at Zheng Ji and said, Zheng Ji was a little embarrassed by Chang Hui's jokes for a while, turned his head to look at the army, and said, "Everyone is almost rested, get ready to go." ”"Hey, I'm telling you about business, why did you divert the topic."
Chang Hui followed Zheng Ji behind him, but Zheng Ji ignored him and rode a horse alone to lead the team in front.Chang Hui smiled slightly, looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, and then rode forward with the troops.Over the Kunlun Mountain, the horse galloped, and I don't know how many miles I ran, a city suddenly appeared in front of me, Zheng Ji rode on the horse and said loudly: "Hurry up, everyone, there is a canal plow in front." ”When all the soldiers saw that they were about to arrive at Quli City, they all came to passion all of a sudden, and their horses rode very fast, as if they were eager to reach Quli City in one step.The city wall of Quli City is not very tall, but the whole city is very large, Quli City is north of the Tianshan Mountains, northwest close to the Taklamakan Desert, most of the people in the city are Wusun people, Quli people, as well as exquisite people, Qiuzi people, etc., anyway, it is the blue-eyed curly hair of the Western Regions.After the occupation of the Han Dynasty, more and more Han soldiers began to live here, Quli was originally a country of Quli, and the Han Dynasty began to station troops here after occupying Quli, and used it as a base to control the Western Regions.Zheng Ji asked Sima Xi and Chang Hui to take the troops back to the barracks, and he took the baby who had woken up and fallen asleep from Chang Hui's hands, and said: "The child is very fortunate to follow us all the way, I want to take him home quickly, and then find a wet nurse to arrange his future life, and the troops will be arranged by you." ”Sima Xi thought about it and agreed.Chang Hui was nervous at the moment, the closer he got to the destination, the heavier his anxiety became, and they didn't know if they would be blamed by His Majesty the Emperor when they hid in the ditch at this moment.This Zheng Ji didn't care at all, his mind was on this child.In fact, he didn't know that Zheng Ji's heart was more complicated than him.All the way to the child riding a horse, passing through the middle of the avenue, on both sides of the road are shops and wine shops, but the architectural style is slightly different from the Han Dynasty, most of them are made of earthen houses, the roof is not like the Han Dynasty with bricks and tiles, but is a flat roof, some houses are even dug in holes, like caves.The people here speak the Wusun or Quli language of the Western Regions.The brothels on the side of the road, the wine shops, and the dancing girls and singers dance from time to time.Suddenly, a brightly dressed girl ran out of a singing studio, crying and screaming for help, help.Zheng Ji didn't pay attention to others, just walked forward by himself, the baby in his hand was about to wake up soon, Zheng Xi needed to supplement nutrition, and he Zheng Ji also had to wait for the execution of the imperial court here, saying that the execution might be a bit serious, but the battle was not fought well, as the main general must be punished, after all, he had received a military order before leaving the division, at this moment, how could he be in the mood to care about others but the more he didn't want to care, the more the crying woman seemed to come to him, and at this moment was stopping in front of his horse and crying: "Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, help me." ”Zheng Ji listened to the voice, looked at it, and was startled, seeing a few middle-aged men chasing after the woman, Zheng Ji suddenly knew what was going on.Turned over and dismounted and stopped: "Don't embarrass this girl. ”The chasing men stopped fixedly, looked at Zheng Ji, and immediately retreated, presumably they knew Zheng Ji, shops, wine shops, song and dance workshops, these are all places to eat up and down, how can they not know the supreme administrator here, when Zheng Ji led the troops here on the first day, in order to better govern this place, all the doors and households in the city have been inspected one by one, and some of the forces and characters resident in the city have also been seen.Although they are a few small people, they have all seen the top administrator here.Several people stopped, stopped in front of Zheng Jima, bowed slightly, and became a little overwhelmed.Zheng Ji turned over and dismounted with the child in his arms and came to the woman, in addition to surprise in his eyes, he was sad, helped the woman up, and only listened to Zheng Ji say: "Jin Lan, how could you, how did you get here" Jin Lan raised her eyes and looked embarrassed, she couldn't bear to let Zheng Ji see it, her face skimmed, but she couldn't stop the tears in her eyes, and choked for a while, Jin Lan turned her head to meet Zheng Ji's inquiring gaze, and then looked at the child in Zheng Ji's arms, and was suddenly shocked, and said: "This child, this child" Zheng Ji looked down and said, "Oh, This child's name is Zheng Xi, and I picked it up on the road.You haven't told me how you came here, aren't you in Chang'an" Jin Lan relieved her heart at this time, seemed to be relieved, her eyes were hazy with tears, and said: "Brother Zheng, I learned that you arrived here and chased you all the way. ”She looked at Zheng Ji with fiery eyes, hoping to get a positive answer from Zheng Ji to take her in.When Zheng Ji heard what she said, he was stunned, and he didn't say anything, just helped Jin Lan to get up, and said, "Don't say anything, let's talk about it at home." ”As he spoke, he held the baby with one hand and helped Jin Lan get on the horse with the other, and after Jin Lan sat down, Zheng Ji got on the horse and sat behind him and galloped away.Feng Shu and his entourage have arrived at the city gate at this moment, although the town is small, there are still some guards at the city gate, five or six chariot masters wearing armor and holding spears, checking the passing crowd one by one.Feng Shu looked up, chuckled in her heart, and felt a vague sense of foreboding.aa2705221:
