Lin Qin'er gently stroked the nine-tailed fox, looked at the white ape that was bounced out, and said with a little stupidity on his face: "The ape is fair and upright, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong person!" Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"The giant ape clan is just a race used by the god race, the ape overlord is already in my hands, he doesn't have to care about the threat of the Xuannu, why should he stay by the Xuannu's side, after this time, he is no longer an enemy!"
Zhao Shu looked at the air and said lightly, a strong person whose confidence has been shattered is no longer a strong person.
"Your Majesty, is there really a road leading to the river in the ruins of Loulan? I have been in the Western Regions for a long time, but I don't know of such an existence, but I only heard that the king of Loulan controlled a powerful army back then, and he once offended the Xuannu and was beheaded. ”
Lin Qin'er asked with some concern, Zhao Shu smiled and said: "Back then, both Loulan and the Dayue clan used to raise some strange beasts, I was worried that there were beast soldiers of the god clan such as Chisel Tooth, and it would not be wrong to let Zhao Qian and them investigate, if it was really the place where Chisel Tooth lived, it would be beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Zhao Shu said that he would no longer speak, and Lin Qin'er would no longer ask, and smiled at Zhao Shu and said: "The concubine is leaving, this little fox still has many rules to teach, don't let her mess around anymore." Lin Qin'er touched the little fox in her arms, smiled faintly, and got up to leave here.
Zhao Shu looked at Lin Qin'er's back, and slowly looked up at the distant Western Regions: "There are strange beasts there, and there are also ancient remnants of the Shoushan Divine Copper, this is a treasure for casting Jiuding, I hope Zhao Qian will not disappoint me and be able to find these remnants of the Shoushan Divine Copper." ”
When Zhao Shu muttered, the dark guard had already handed over the map of the ruins of Loulan and the Dayue clan to Zhao Qian through special channels.
Looking at the map in his hand, Zhao Qian held the map in both hands and bowed respectfully to the east: "The minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"
Zhao Qian carefully put away the map, and no longer spoke, he was sent by the Governor's Mansion to explore the river, and he also took the opportunity to find ancient ruins, which is also the reason why he came, there are many suitable people in the Governor's Mansion, but only those people in Qinghe Villa can make His Majesty 100% trusted.
After Zhao Qian got the map, he sent someone to tell Liu Dacai that he could start leaving, and he stayed in Ganzhou for these days, just waiting for further instructions from His Majesty, this order is that the people who must avoid the governor's mansion must not let any minister know, so it is most appropriate to travel long distances and come to Ganzhou, which is a mixed dragon.
Three days later, Zhao Qian and others left Ganzhou, crossed the Heishui River into the garrison of the Gansu Military Division of Western Xia, after entering the Western Xia, the caravan hired a soldier in a tribe called Naiman, this Naiman tribe is a large tribe in the Western Regions, can resist the powerful tribe of the Kereh Department, after the decline of the Western Xia, began to win over the Kereh Department, so for them, the Xixia border army is not willing to offend the Kereh Department.
There are only more than 100 guards of this Naiban tribe, most of them are ordinary people, but they are familiar with the situation in Western Xia, and they are even more local snakes, and they can be hired to avoid the contradictions and troubles in Western Xia.
Zhao Qian didn't care about the affairs of this tribe, not even the goods of the caravan, he just needed an identity to cover.
However, the people of this barbarian tribe did not think so, because Zhao Qian's caravan carried all fine silk and silk cloth, as well as copper coins and medicines that were precious in the Great Song Dynasty.
When this caravan crossed the Western Xia, the Western Xia government did not dare to face the difficulties, after all, the smoothness of the Silk Road was also what they liked to see, and the arrival of the caravan meant that taxes could be levied.
However, secretly, many Western Xia caravans and Jurchen caravans competed fiercely, and the influx of a large number of caravans in the Great Song Dynasty meant fierce competition for them, which made them not mind colluding with the Western Xia border army to rob these caravans.
However, with the vigilance of these mercenaries and caravans, everyone came to the Western Regions without danger, and a month later, they approached the Yumen Pass, the hinterland of Western Xia.
"Commander Zhao, tomorrow we will arrive at the Yumen Pass, after passing through this Yumen Pass, you can Guazhou territory, because of the defeat of the Western Xia, this has become their heartland, a large number of soldiers and tribes gathered here, the merchants and travelers here, there is no need to worry about those wolf-like border troops. ”
Liu Dacai said to Zhao Qian with a smile, they have been here for a long time, and they are very familiar with this place.
Zhao Qian looked at the sunset in the distance, and said solemnly: "Then stay here for the night, enter Guazhou tomorrow, be careful of the realm, and let the Naiman tribe stay away from us!"
After Zhao Qian said, he no longer paid attention to those people, but arranged for the stationing, and the guards of the Naiban tribe were also on guard all around, and they looked at the caravan in the distance, and they all whispered.
"Elder, this caravan is strange, their guards are extremely strict and orderly, when camping, it is more like an army, not a guard, I investigated, many of the guards are innate warriors, such an army, a rush, caught off guard, can seize the defense of Guazhou City! They should not be here to attack Western Xia, we have our own agreement with Western Xia, if such a thing happens, it will be unfavorable to the tribe. ”
An old man from the Naiban tribe said with a solemn expression.
"Don't worry, these people's strength is very strong, they will definitely not pass the state to the government, come to the hinterland of Western Xia to make a move, they should go to the Western Regions, now the Great Song Dynasty is strong and terrible, not we can offend, don't pay attention to the affairs of the Song people! Maybe the guards of this caravan are all retired soldiers of the Song people, and now the Song people are good at killing Han. The elder said this, and sighed softly: "The Tangut people have surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and many Western Xia nobles are loyal to the eldest princess of the Great Song Dynasty, because everyone knows that as long as the Great Song Dynasty advances westward, no one can resist it, just like these their ancestors." ”
The elder's words made many people helpless, their old enemies the Khorezm tribe had been destroyed, and the Khorezmian people they had supported had established a strong force, perhaps the Nabarian tribe would be the next Kereh tribe, and they would also follow the path of their ancestors and submit to the Han people again.
Zhao Qian didn't expect that the whereabouts of his caravan had been suspected, but he didn't care at all, just guarded tightly and prepared to enter the Western Regions.
He was not going to take the normal Silk Road, but to enter the eight-hundred-mile Hanhai Desert to find a new path, and also to explore the ruins of Loulan. (To be continued.) )
