Chapter 188 Brothers join forces

After only a quarter of an hour, Gu Huaiqing calmed down, got up and walked out of the tent.

The blizzard raged all night, and the snow had stopped at this time, and a thick layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground, reflecting a dazzling cold light under the sunlight.

Toli held a big brush in his hand and was combing Chixia's hair. Chixia rubbed the horse's face affectionately against the original owner. When she saw Gu Huaiqing coming out, Chixia raised her head and gave two passionate shouts, talking to him. greet.

Seeing that his beloved horse was safe and sound, Gu Huaiqing was also very happy in his heart, and stepped forward to caress Chixia's rouge-colored, bright and lustrous fur.

Toli turned his head to look at Gu Huaiqing, only to see that his eye circles were a little red and his face was a little pale, but there was nothing unusual about him.He is young, but he has experienced a lot of tempering, so his heart is extraordinarily strong, and Tory admires this cousin even more.

Gu Huaiqing looked up at the snow-covered snow peak in the distance, and suddenly said: "My father's bones are buried on the top of Tianshan Mountain?"

Toli nodded and said, "Yes, I can take you to worship. In fact, the tombs of the Wusun royal family are all there. In the future, you can also move your mother's tomb to be buried with General Gu."

Gu Huaiqing was silent for a while, then said: "I will, but not now."

Toli looked at Gu Huaiqing and asked, "What's your plan next?"

Gu Huaiqing glanced at Toli, and said, "To tell you the truth, I came to the Western Regions this time to act according to the imperial decree. Since you are the prince of Wusun, there is one thing that needs your help."

"If you need anything, just ask."

"I need to find someone who is proficient in the language of Xichang to help me translate a book."

"Xichang Kingdom has been wiped out for many years, and the monks and scholars who are proficient in its language are basically dead, but..."

"But what?" Gu Huaiqing asked.

Seeing Gu Huaiqing's anxious face, Toli deliberately dragged his tone to whet his appetite: "Although such people are few and far between, you are very lucky. The person you are looking for is far away and close at hand!"

Gu Huaiqing's eyes widened: "You mean..."

Toli proudly pointed to the tip of his nose, and said, "Your cousin, I am a genius who knows the characters of the eight countries in the Western Regions, and I happen to know the characters of the Xichang Kingdom."

Gu Huaiqing glanced at him suspiciously, as if he didn't fully believe it.

Toli felt that his ability was questioned, and said angrily: "Don't you still believe me?"

It's not that Gu Huaiqing doesn't believe in Toli, but he has also heard that Wusun Kingdom sent troops to destroy Xichang Kingdom in order to obtain this treasure. Jinjiang Academy stole books and even committed two murders, which shows that Wusun Kingdom must be very interested in the hidden treasures.

It is true that Toli is his cousin, but he is also the prince of Wusun King. National righteousness and family affection are more important. If he knows that the sheepskin hand is in his hand and fights for it, it will be a little troublesome.

Gu Huaiqing said apologetically: "This matter is confidential and entrusted by His Majesty, I have to be more cautious."

Toli said with a disdainful smile: "What kind of baby bump, if you don't tell me, I know what you want to decipher. Isn't it the parchment book of Xichang Kingdom?"

Gu Huaiqing glanced at him in surprise. The fact that he came here to hunt for treasure with the parchment was a secret. Except for the emperor Xiao Jing, only a few people such as Xiao Hei and Duan Mingchen knew about it. How did Toli know about it?

"Is it correct?" Toli continued to explain, "Actually, the legend about the treasure in the desert has been circulating for a long time. Xichang has a history of 500 years from the founding of the country to its demise. When Xichang was in its heyday, the capital was not the later Turpan. , but a more prosperous and beautiful city. The poems and history books that have been handed down all record the luxury of the Xichang Palace, with gold as the bone and white jade as the pillars, and the dome inlaid with countless gems, just like the sky and stars. The capital city was abandoned, and all the subjects moved elsewhere.

The originally prosperous capital was gradually submerged by yellow sand and became an isolated city in the desert. Legend has it that countless treasures are hidden there. However, for hundreds of years, many people have tried to hunt for treasures, but no one has ever returned alive.

That desert is extremely dangerous, with quicksand traps and sandstorms, it is easy to lose your way, and the abandoned city should also be full of traps.It is said that only the royal family of Xichang has a detailed treasure map in their hands. With the guidance of this map, they can crack the mechanism and enter the ancient city to find the treasure. "

When Gu Huaiqing heard that the annihilated Xichang Kingdom was in the vast desert, he nodded his head. He knew that it was impossible to find the ancient city in the desert with his own ability to recognize the way. It sounds like there is no treasure map. Even if they found the ancient city, they couldn't enter it, and even lost their lives in the end.

Toli is proficient in Xichang script, should we cooperate with him?Gu Huaiqing hesitated for a while.

Toli seemed to see his hesitation, and persuaded him: "To tell you the truth, I was ordered by my father to find the treasure this trip. I don't know what Emperor Daqi wants you to find, but I can tell you What I am looking for is a copy of the Koran left by the Prophet Muhammad. Your country does not respect Islam, so that book is useless to you, but it is priceless to us. As for other things, gold I don't need silver jewelry or other treasures. Therefore, I think we can cooperate completely, each according to his ability, and each takes what he needs. What do you think?"

Gu Huaiqing glanced at Toli and said, "You really only want that Koran, and give me the rest?"

Toli said sincerely: "I swear in the name of Allah, whether I can find the Koran or not, I don't want anything else. Huaiqing, you are my cousin, we are blood-related relatives, you have to believe Me, I will never hurt you."

People who believe in religion never dare to blaspheme the name of Allah. Gu Huaiqing believed in Toli's oath. What's more, it was very difficult for him to find another person who was proficient in the language of Xichang to lead him to find this ancient city in the desert.

Having made up his mind, Gu Huaiqing didn't mind coaxing his cousin, and said with a smile: "Cousin, why do you have to swear such a heavy oath? You are my relatives, and you saved my life, how could I not believe you? Then That's it, I hope we can cooperate happily and find the treasure as soon as possible."

Gu Huaiqing took out the parchment and handed it to Toli. Toli ordered someone to bring a pen and paper. He stayed in the small tent next to him and translated the Xichang characters into Chinese characters.

It took a whole day for Toli to translate all the parchments, and showed the translated text to Gu Huaiqing. The two studied it overnight and agreed on the direction of the treasure hunt.

Early the next morning, Gu Huaiqing set off with Toli's caravan to find this mysterious ancient city in the desert.

Prince Toli's caravan has more than [-] people. Strictly speaking, it cannot be called a caravan. It is a small regiment with a neat military appearance. They are all young Wusun warriors with outstanding military strength. They all wear uniform white robes , with a scimitar in a silver sheath inlaid with sapphires on his waist, and a white melon skin round hat with a soaring goshawk embroidered on the brim.

It might be that Toli had greeted him in advance, and Gu Huaiqing found that although these warriors did not understand the language, they all treated him very respectfully.

In order not to make Gu Huaiqing appear too abrupt in the team, Toli half coaxed him to change into Wusun country's warrior uniform. Gu Huaiqing was reluctant to wear this strange robe at first, but after putting it on, he found that the In the harsh environment of the desert, the white robe was the least heat-absorbing, and the soft cotton cloth was breathable and comfortable. It was indeed more suitable for the desert climate than his previous fox-fur jacket.

Toli stared intently at Gu Huaiqing who had put on Wusun's clothes. The white robe made him more handsome and elegant. Toli's glazed eyes made no secret of his admiration, and he said Wusun to himself. language.

Of course Gu Huaiqing didn't understand, but the warriors next to him winked and laughed loudly after hearing it.

Although Gu Huaiqing didn't understand, but judging from the reaction of the people around him, he guessed that Toli must have said something nice, so he asked, "What did you say?"

Toli smiled and said nothing, held Gu Huaiqing's shoulder, helped him put his hat on, and gave him another deep look.

"What did you say?" Gu Huaiqing asked curiously, but Toli refused to say anything, and hid away under the pretext of checking the terrain.

Toli had a follower named Artai, who was fluent in Chinese, and quietly translated it to Gu Huaiqing: "His Royal Highness said, it's a pity that you are not a woman, otherwise he must marry you."

This guy actually said such nonsense to his cousin!

Gu Huaiqing was angry and said: "I heard that people in your country get married in their teens. He is so old, so he hasn't married yet?"

Artest said: "Yes, the prince married a gentle and beautiful wife."

"Damn it! You're talking nonsense when you have a wife!" Gu Huaiqing couldn't hold back, and burst into a foul language.

"However, in our country, a man can have four wives."

"That's not called a wife, right? There can only be one married woman in the Ming Dynasty, and the other women are just concubines, right?"

"No, that's not right!" Artest explained earnestly, "The Koran says that a man can marry four wives, but he must treat every wife impartially and fairly. The wives have the same status, regardless of their rank."

Four wives, regardless of wives and concubines, and the same treatment?This is the first time I've heard of such a thing!

Gu Huaiqing opened his eyes and sighed in disbelief: "Your Koran is really amazing, it even has rules for this kind of thing!"

Artai smiled and said: "Allah is omnipotent! If the young master converts to Islam, he can also marry four wives. The young master is so handsome, there must be many girls rushing to marry you."

Speaking of marrying a wife, Gu Huaiqing couldn't help but think of Liang Wan and the scene of being forced to marry by Xiao Jing. She couldn't help but feel lingering fear, and shook her head: "Forget it, women are so troublesome, I don't want any of them!"
