How much I miss you when you can't see someone, and how distressed you are when you leave.
Watching Wu Chan's leaving figure, Ying Zheng's heart clenched.
It doesn't hurt, but it feels suffocating.
Only when Wu Chan's back disappeared from sight did Ying Zheng calm down little by little.
I will come back again, and when that time comes, I will definitely take you with me!
These words echoed in Ying Zheng's heart and soul, and slowly, his brows widened.
At this time, bursts of hissing came from my ears.
Ying Zheng looked at Maple Leaf, and saw that it was also looking in the direction Wu Chan was leaving, shaking its neck constantly, and its four white hooves were constantly stepping on it. Its restless and anxious eyes showed the same reluctance and reluctance as Ying Zheng. The pain of separation.
Ying Zheng sighed and caressed Feng Ye's neck, his movements extremely gentle.
Maple Leaf's mood gradually calmed down. It neither broke free from the reins in Ying Zheng's hands nor continued to be irritable. It seemed that it understood its master's intentions and did not want to go against the decision made by his master.
Fengye turned his head to look at Ying Zheng, then rubbed his neck against Ying Zheng's arm.
Ying Zheng understood that the horse's action was a sign of goodwill and submission.
"Good Maple Leaf, let's go." Ying Zheng's tone was extremely gentle, as if he was speaking to Wu Chan.
Maple Leaf gasped twice, seemingly responding to Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng flew onto the horse's back, and also gently wrapped the horse's belly, turned the horse's head, and walked towards his camp.
Zhang Yong, Thumbs and others, who were originally far away, followed from a distance.
However, Zhang Yong seemed to feel that he was going home and looked very happy, while Thumb sighed and shook his head repeatedly. There was a big gap in the reaction between the two.
After returning to the camp, Ying Zheng made some adjustments.
Meng Tian checked the supplies he had purchased in Jingjue City, while Meng Yi helped Thumb and the other ghost hands change into the merchant's clothes.
After everything was ready, the Xiqiang army was still in front, and the Qin army was behind. The team of thousands of people embarked on their way home in a mighty manner.
Ying Zheng did not choose to get into the car, but kept riding Maple Leaf. It seemed that the only way to relieve his pain of separation was to stay close to Maple Leaf.
But the courtiers and sergeants around him all looked at him with great envy.
This horse is so beautiful that people can't bear to look at it. It's so beautiful that it makes people want to abandon their own war horses. It's so beautiful that those war horses feel ashamed and don't dare to get close to it.
Ying Zheng had no intention of showing off this new mount, he just walked forward silently.
Two days later, Ying Zheng was in a much better mood and the team entered Qiemo's territory.
Thorin and Qiang Yu walked side by side at the front. They were both a little more vigilant and carefully observed the mountains on both sides.
"Thorin." Qiang Yu called softly, "Do you think Qiemo will have any more evil ideas?"
"It's hard to say." Thorin looked at the mountains on the left and said, "I think King Qiemo is not a kind person. Brother Wang really shouldn't have let him go so early."
"Brother Wang, you are benevolent and generous, just like you treat us." Qiang Yu said.
"We are grateful after all." Thorin glanced at Qiang Yu and said, "But whether King Qie Mo... also thinks so, no one can tell."
"Indeed, that person is hard to see through."
While the two were talking, they heard a whistle coming from the mountains on the right. It sounded familiar, like Qiemo's whistle.
The brothers suddenly became nervous.
"The crossbowmen are ready!" Qiang Yu shouted.
All the Qiang troops behind them stopped and became alert.
At this moment, a group of people actually jumped out of the mountain. Judging from the costumes, they were indeed Qiemo people, but there were not many people.
"Don't fire arrows!" The person at the front of Qiemo's team shouted loudly in Loulan dialect.
Qiang Yu raised his hand to signal the Qiang army behind him not to act rashly.
Qiemo's tribes reined in their horses and then lined up on both sides, with the middle
A person appears.
This man is tall and burly, calm and powerful, he is exactly the king of Qiemo.
"Haha, we haven't seen each other for just a few days, why doesn't Young Master Xiqiang recognize this king?" King Qiemo said.
"It turns out to be King Qiemo." Qiang Yu smiled, but his vigilance was a little higher, "I wonder what King Qiemo is doing here?"
"Hahaha..." King Qiemo laughed and said, "I returned to the tribe. While thinking about it, I seemed to have forgotten something. So after discussing with the elders, I left the tribe again and made a special trip to the tribe. We are waiting for King Qin here."
"What did King Qiemo mean?" Qiang Yu continued to ask.
"I thought that the trade route was from Loulan to Jingjue. But now that I signed my credentials in Jingjue, I never asked the King of Loulan for his opinion, so I wanted to follow the King of Qin to Loulan. So as to protect King Qin’s safety.”
Qiang Yu frowned and said nothing.
Thorin took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Since King Qiemo wants to go to Loulan with us, then I will inform King Qin."
After saying that, Thorin turned the horse's head and ran towards the back.
The King of Xiqiang was originally in the middle of the Xiqiang army. When he saw that the whole army had stopped advancing, he knew that something was going on in front, so he urged his horse to come over. When he saw that it was King Qiemo blocking the way, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
When Qiang Yu saw his father coming, he went up to him and explained the purpose of King Qiemo's visit.
After hearing this, King Xiqiang nodded, then came to King Qiemo and said, "Does King Qiemo want to follow you to Loulan this time?"
"That's right." King Qiemo said, "This certificate of credence needs the palm seal of King Loulan to be complete."
After saying that, King Qiemo raised his hand to signal behind him, and saw a follower behind him taking out the credentials he had just signed in Jingjue.
"Haha, King Qiemo is so serious about this matter, which further proves Qiemo's sincerity." King Xiqiang said with a smile, "And it is natural for King Loulan to participate."
"King Xiqiang thinks King Loulan will agree?" King Qiemo asked.
"Of course I agree." King Xiqiang said with certainty, "Think about it, Loulan, as a transportation hub, wants peace and stability around itself more than anyone else."
"Hahaha, I hope so." King Qiemo said with a smile.
The King of Xiqiang saw that King Qiemo probably had no ill intentions when he came here. He wanted to take this opportunity to improve his relationship with Loulan.
While the two were talking, a tall red horse ran over from behind.
Ying Zheng has arrived.
The moment Maple Leaf appeared in the eyes of everyone in Qiemo, the eyes of all the Qiemo people were so wide that they almost popped out of their sockets, and drool began to flow from the corners of their mouths.
What kind of horse is this?
Why is it so beautiful? It’s like a horse descending from heaven!
"King Qiemo, why are you coming back?" Ying Zheng stopped his horse and asked.
Only then did King Qiemo come to his senses, and then stated his purpose of coming.
Ying Zheng thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "What King Qiemo said is reasonable. Loulan is the hub of this trade, so it should be involved. Besides, I have promised King Qiemo to facilitate this matter." .”
"Okay, haha, how about we go together?" King Qiemo said respectfully.
King Xiqiang translated King Qiemo's meaning to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng laughed and said: "Since we are together, it is naturally good. However, this is Qiemo's territory. Please ask King Qiemo to lead the tribe in front to lead the way. "
Ying Zheng said this to prevent Qie Mo from changing his mind and carrying out a surprise attack. I am walking behind you, how can you sneak attack me?
King Qiemo knew what Ying Zheng was up to, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, but I would also like to ask King Qin, what kind of horse are you riding on?"
Ying Zheng gently stroked the horse's mane on the back of Maple Leaf's neck a few times, and said slowly: "This is a famous horse that is abundant in Dawan.
It is a national gift exchanged between Queen Jingjue and the widow. "
To outsiders, how could Ying Zheng say that this was the bond between him and Wu Chan.
King Qiemo naturally knew that King Qin had given many things to Jingjue, and it was only natural for Jingjue to give this good horse to King Qin as a gift, so he praised: "I heard a long time ago that the country of Dawan in the west of the Western Regions is rich in a kind of horse. A good horse, I finally got to see it today, it is indeed a good horse!"
Ying Zheng saw that King Qiemo's eyes were showing lust, so he said: "This Dawan horse is indeed good, why not King Qiemo think of a way to get in touch with Dayuan, and we can also do business with Dayuan?" "Although this Dawan horse is valuable, it is nothing that the Qin Dynasty cannot afford to exchange for. If you can facilitate this, I will definitely give King Qiemo a thousand-mile horse."
Ying Zheng said this to stop King Qiemo from thinking about Maple Leaf.
If you have the ability, go to Dawan in exchange for a bloody BMW.
King Qiemo's eyes flashed, and he laughed loudly: "No problem, this matter will be taken care of by me."
"Okay, then King Qiemo will lead the way." Ying Zheng raised his hand to indicate.
King Qiemo imitated the Chinese etiquette and said, "Please."
In this way, King Qiemo led the Qiemo tribe in front to lead the way, the Xiqiang army followed behind, and Ying Zheng led the Qin army to press the formation at the end.
After walking for another four days, we finally arrived at Loulan City.
When King Loulan heard that King Qin had returned from Jingjue, he changed his usual behavior and led his ministers out of the city gate to welcome him far away.
It can be seen that after seeing King Qiemo walking in front, King Loulan's face suddenly darkened, and the team behind him also cheered up.
"Hahaha, King Loulan, you are fine." King Qiemo laughed.
King Loulan said coldly: "I am here to greet King Qin, why did I meet a disaster star like you?"
King Qie Mo disagreed and still smiled broadly: "Since I am here, I will naturally escort King Qin all the way here."
"Oh?" King Loulan was surprised, "You mean, you came here with King Qin?"
"Exactly." King Qiemo shaved his beard, looking quite proud.
At this time, Ying Zheng and King Xiqiang rushed over from behind side by side.
"King Loulan, on this return trip, we still need to take a road." King Xiqiang said politely.
"Hahaha, let alone borrowing money, even if you are all stationed here, I can still afford it." King Loulan wiped away the gloomy look on his face.
"I'm just passing by, so how can I disturb you too much." Ying Zheng said, handing over his hand, "However, I do still have some things to discuss with King Loulan."
"Oh?" King Loulan said, "Then go back to the palace first and discuss it later."
Ying Zheng and King Xiqiang responded at the same time, then asked the teams to stand by and followed King Loulan back to Loulan Palace.
King Qiemo didn't say anything, he just followed behind.
After sitting down, King Xiqiang told King Loulan the whole story of the trip in detail.
"So, you, Jingjue, and Qiemo have signed a national treaty?" After listening to King Xiqiang's story, King Loulan asked immediately.
"That's right." Ying Zheng said with a smile, "From now on, there will be no need to worry about business running out of Loulan's transportation hub."
"Hahaha..." King Loulan said happily, "In this case, King Qin can't do it without taking Loulan with him."
"Haha, this is natural. After all, the first person I contacted was Loulan." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
Immediately, Ying Zheng took out the covenant signed in Jingjue.
Seeing the situation, King Qiemo also took out the three covenants he carried.
King Loulan looked at King Qiemo, sighed and said, "That's all, for the sake of King Qin and King Xiqiang, let's just wipe out the grudges between Loulan and Qiemo these years."
"Hahaha..." King Qiemo laughed, "Qiemo is also willing to reconcile with Loulan!"
Several kings laughed together.
