，

At the beginning, Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng were taken by Li Xian, and when they were guarding Yangguan, they were very familiar with Nangong No. 1. In terms of cultivation, the other party even gave him and Chu Zheng a lot of advice, which benefited them a lot.

Although Nangong No. 1 likes to put on a lonely and arrogant appearance, he is actually approachable, especially after drinking, he will hook his shoulders and call Zhang Changan and Chu Zheng brothers, and he can brag about any bull in the north and south.

Zhang Changan got up to salute and asked why the other party was here.

Nangong first said as a matter of course: "After the Western Regions Protectorate is re-established, Yangguan will become the hinterland, and there will be no more wars, so I naturally want to come here." Why, you stinky boy, you think I don't need to make a contribution?"

The two talked and entered the house, but what Zhang Changan didn't expect was that Li Xian also appeared, and it seemed that he was still very familiar with Xu Ge, and he was acquainted with Buchen. The big man of the Western Regions Protectorate, who sent the previous Guiyi Army Festival Envoy, is now the protector of Zhang Huaishen, who has been awarded the title of Duke of the Kingdom.

Such a scene shows that there is a lot of cooperation between the Western Regions Commercial Bank and the Western Regions Protectorate, and it is a situation of working together to deal with the overall situation.

Nangong No. 1's intention was very straightforward, patted Zhang Chang'an's shoulder and said: "This trip to the Black Khanate, it's up to you whether things work out or not, your life is not there, look at me!"

These words were meant to take care of Zhang Changan, but it was a little infiltrating when he heard it, Zhang Changan shuddered and thanked him.

Nangong waved his hand first, signaling that Zhang Changan didn't have to thank himself, he followed him to the Black Khanate, the main purpose was to fight with the Crescent Moon Sect monks, borrow the other party's head and blood to sharpen his sword path, and let himself step to a higher level.

Nangong No. 1 has long been the Great Perfection of the Yang God True Realm, and now that Kunlun has reopened, the Immortal Realm can walk in the mortal world, without the Daomen Immortal Court pressing on their heads, as long as the monks have enough strength and sufficient foundation, they can fly up independently at any time, and the same is true for Nangong No. 1.

In fact, the saying of ascension is a bit mysterious, in the past, when the Daomen Immortal Court controlled the heavens and the earth, in order to highlight their mysterious strength, but whenever the monk achieved the immortal realm, he would descend all kinds of strange scenes, so that the fairy child would take the other party into the immortal court.

For the mortal world, this is very magical, but for the immortal realm monks, it is just a brick of the Daomen Immortal Court from now on.

Like Nangong No. 1, a great monk in the Yang God True Realm and a great monk who can achieve the Immortal Realm at any time, there are many Datang at the moment, King Qi, King Shu, Master and Apprentice of Chu Nanhuai, Song Jiao, Da Shao Si Ming, etc., including Li Xian who was present.

This strength is naturally not comparable to Zhang Chang'an at the moment, Nangong said that if he can ensure the integrity of the other party, then basically there will be no problem.

The reason why Li Xian wanted to go over and see it was relatively simple, it was purely to see the exotic customs, study and study the military and political system of the great cannibals, and see if there was anything worth learning from. If not, see if there are any lessons to remember.

"Both of them are Dinghai Divine Needle-like figures, this time they left the Western Regions Protectorate together, if the Crescent Moon Sect monks take the opportunity to attack, wouldn't the Metropolitan Protectorate be in danger?" Zhang Changan expressed his concerns.

Nangong Yi let out a snort from his nostrils: "The Duhu Mansion is very safe! To tell you the truth, the army of the Western Expedition is already on the way, and many great monks have taken the first step, and they are already gathering here like a tide." In three or five days, everyone walking on the streets in this city is afraid that their feet will touch the real human realm!"

Because the Far East Fleet has continuously brought back a large number of resources from the Americas, coupled with the development of the Tang Dynasty cultivation civilization over the years, at this moment, there are already countless True Realm cultivators in the Tang Dynasty.

plus the great monks of the Grassland Prefecture, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Zhendong Metropolitan Protectorate, it adds up to one thousand and five if not two thousand!

Zhang Changan opened his mouth, and then realized that the imperial dynasty's war against the Western Regions would not be in the spring of next year, but in this autumn. That is, three or two months at most, or even earlier!

They made this trip

Going to the Black Khanate and dealing with the Crescent monks is not only a matter of great importance, but the situation is urgent, and it is necessary to quickly open up the situation. Before the army reached the Western Regions, completely disrupt the Black Khanate's purge of the "spies" and the trading houses in the Western Regions.

In this way, the many layouts of the Western Regions Commercial Banks can play a predicted role during the war.

Zhang Changan felt that a huge, multi-faceted war picture scroll was unfolding in front of his eyes, and he himself was walking in the middle of this picture scroll, an indispensable and even pivotal figure!

Knowing this, Zhang Changan couldn't help but beat his heart faster.

But he quickly calmed down again.

If it was a few years ago, he would be excited and uncontrollable, but now, after years of polishing, his mood has been very stable. His mind was quickly mobilized in an instant, and he was already thinking about how to carry out timely and effective actions in the treacherous Black Khanate.

Seeing that Zhang Changan was so stable and contemplative, Nangong No. 1 and Li Xian couldn't help but show appreciation. Xu Ge, who finally stopped hiccups, finally began to recognize Zhang Changan.

Originally, the mission of the Black Khanate should have been carried out by her personally, but the commander suddenly sent an outsider over, which made her very surprised and a little unhappy.

If she hadn't known that the other party had performed extraordinarily during the Battle of Huairong, and was very suitable for carrying out this mission, she would definitely persuade the Grand Commander to take back her fate.

Now it seems that this young man seems to have some ability, not to mention anything else, the most important thing is to be calm and calm down when he goes deep into the enemy territory to run errands.

Everyone gathered around the table, and studied the next course of action based on the various information provided by Buchen.

By the time they had decided on the route and had finished their journey, it was not too early. When he walked out the door and was about to go to eat and rest, the air in front of him fluctuated, and then a figure appeared.

Everyone's expressions moved, except for Li Xian, all of them hurriedly bowed: "See Your Majesty!"

Li Ye, who appeared here, was naturally the transformation of the Eye of the Emperor, and he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.

Over the years, because of his attention to the Western Regions, he has often incarnated to meet with important figures in the Imperial Protectorate and discuss various important matters, and everyone is no longer surprised by his methods.

"When are you going to leave?" Li Ye looked at Nangong No. 1, Zhang Changan and the others.

"Go back to Your Majesty, and leave tomorrow. ”

"Okay, I'll follow you to see it then. ”

......

It was a twenty-day journey from Qiuzi to the city of Barsihan, and of course this was for ordinary people. Li Ye, Zhang Changan and other people rushed to the road, naturally much faster, observing the topography of the mountains and rivers all the way, and arrived near the city in the eastern part of the Black Khanate two days later.

Barth Khan was an important city in the eastern part of the Black Khanate, and although the Black Khanate was located northeast of the city of Barth Khan, and there was a large territory connected to the Western Regions Protectorate, there were no decent cities in those places. The cities of the Black Khanate were basically to the west and southwest of the city of Balsi Khan.

Among them, the royal capital of the Black Khanate, Balasagon, that is, one of the four towns of Anxi during the Tang Dynasty, was not far northwest of Barsi Khan.

Li Ye and the others flew west along the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and before arriving at the city of Barsihan, the first thing they saw was a huge lake in the high mountains. It is more than 300 miles long from east to west, about 100 miles wide from north to south, and the lake water is clear and transparent, as if it is a huge pearl at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

In comparison, the city of the Black Khanate on the southeast side of the lake was as small as a fly.

"This is Daqingchi. Buchen pointed to the big lake under his feet and introduced to Li Ye. Although Buchen's injuries are serious, there are pills from the Immortal Medicine Workshop, and after being treated by Nangong No. 1, he has almost recovered now.

Li Ye bowed slightly.

He had heard of Daqing Pond, which was called Issyk-Kul Lake in later generations

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The second largest alpine lake in the world, there are also many legends that entrust people's beautiful wishes, such as the gold and silver treasures left by Genghis Khan buried at the bottom of the lake.

"To the west of Daqing Pond, there is a river that flows into the lake, which is the Broken Leaf River, and along the Broken Leaf River to the west for a hundred miles, you will arrive at Broken Leaf City. Buchen pointed to the west, he was familiar with the situation in the Black Khanate.

Li Ye looked to the west with his hands down, and then looked at the north, and his deep thoughts gradually became far away.

When you get here, you get to the so-called Seven Rivers Valley. This land is also nourished by the seven major rivers, including the Broken Leaf River, to have a large area of pasture, which is the foundation of the Black Khanate.

The Black Khanate was a nomadic state.

The reason why Li Ye faced the north and pondered for a long time was because the land under his feet, all the way to the northern border of the Black Khanate, Balkhash Lake, was once the land of China. Yibohai was once called the boundary lake, which was the border between China and the beard, but unfortunately at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was passed by the beard.

When they arrived at Daqing Pond, everyone could no longer fly in the air. Although the cultivation of Nangong No. 1 was enough to keep everyone from being discovered by ordinary monks, for the sake of safety, everyone still changed their appearance, turned into Turkic appearances, walked on the ground, and walked towards the city of Balsi Khan.

The great monk of the real human realm is very simple to change his appearance, and with the presence of the preacher Yu Jian, Zhang Changan is also proficient in the local Turkic language, so he doesn't have to worry about revealing his stuff easily.

"The Seven Rivers Basin, because it is still quite rich, has had many legends. ”

Buchen did his duty as a guide while walking, "According to records, during the Qin Dynasty, this place belonged to the Sai people. After the Mobei Xiongnu became strong, they defeated the Da Yue clan, and the Yue clan people migrated here, defeated the Sai king, and forced the Sai people to move south, and they occupied here.

Later, the Wusun Ju people moved westward, defeated the Yueshi people, and occupied this place until the Wei and Jin dynasties. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Xiongnu came here again. During this dynasty, the Turks were defeated and moved westward, and they also multiplied and settled here, among which the two tribes of Qarluq and Xiangma were relatively strong, especially the Qarlu department.

After the defeat of the Uighurs, they moved westward and came to the Seven Rivers valley and merged with the two Turkic descendants, Qarluq and Tamma, to form what is now the Black Khanate. ”

The Uighurs who migrated westward before were known as the Western Uighurs of the Green Mountains, and were not the same as the Uighurs of Ganzhou.

When Li Ye heard this, he felt a little funny in his heart.

This part of Central Asia is really interesting, whoever is defeated in the East - whether it is defeated by the Central Plains Dynasty or by the Mobei steppe peoples, will migrate here, and drive the people before them to the south and west, and occupy this place by themselves until they are defeated by the latecomers.

It's like eating a running water mat.

Li Ye also knew that after the defeat of the Khitans on the earth, they also came here to establish Western Liao. During the Qing Dynasty, it belonged to the Dzungar Khanate, and Kangxi personally conquered Galdan and fought against this Dzungar Khanate. In the Qianlong period, the Dzungar Khanate was completely defeated, and it belonged to the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

"The Turkic descendants of Qarluq and Tamma, as well as the Uighurs who moved westward, originally believed in Zoroastrianism, shamanism, and Mingjiao, but over the years, with the eastward expansion of the Crescent religion and the control of the beliefs of the people of the Black Khanate, it became a state under the de facto control of the Great Eclipse. ”

Buchen said this, and finally ended his introduction.

Li Ye saw that the city of Balsi Khan was not very majestic and tall, and there was only one thing in his heart.

In the western part of the Black Khanate, there was a city called Talas. The Tang army fought with the Great Eclipse here, but because Ge Lulu betrayed the Tang Dynasty and attacked the Tang army on both sides with the Great Eclipse, the Tang army was defeated.

Li Ye thought, this is the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, and it is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which once ruled here and will continue to rule in the future.

Whether it is the town of Broken Leaves in the west or the town of Shule in the south, it will definitely be rebuilt.
