Hidden Sword Kills the fish-lipped Jiluo

In the extreme west corner of the Celestial Dynasty, there are 36 countries in the Western Regions. Because Kangju, Anxi and other countries are far away from the Central Plains, it is difficult to reach them. Therefore, the major countries on the Silk Road that communicate with the Celestial Dynasty are Khotan, Kucha, and Jingjue. Among them, Loulan Dating back to the previous dynasty, it once merged with the Huns in the north, inherited its bravery, and has a strong military force, often surpassing other countries.

After the death of King Loulan of the previous generation, because the princess married far away and there was no direct heir in the country, his younger brother Xi Wu succeeded to the throne.Xi Wu is self-willed and warlike, and prefers to personally lead his troops to plunder passing caravans, taking pleasure in massacres. The next year, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was furious when he heard that Gaochang Guoshu had hurt King Chen Loulan. If it was too heavy, several princes were sent to the frontier to conquer Loulan in order to show the power of Tianwei in the Central Plains.

The Duke of North Korea is old, although there are those who have not diminished the prestige of the past, but after all, he is in his twilight years, and the climate in the Western Regions is harsh. After a long journey, some veterans will soon become seriously ill. The Northwest Army fought fiercely in the Western Regions.

For a long period of that year, Ye Jiluo never saw his mother smile.

She didn't understand, why did her father accept the imperial edict even though she knew it was her mother's hometown that was going to be conquered?

"If family and country have to choose one...sorry."

"... safe travels."

Father used soldiers like a god, and the success stories made the house full of joy and laughter, but mother fell ill day by day.

That night, when the snow fell, my mother got out of the hospital bed and danced the Huxuan dance of the Western Regions with bare feet under the plum tree in the courtyard, and the skirt embroidered with bird gold thread kept spinning.She didn't comb the complicated palace bun, and let her long golden brown hair flow like silk and satin, covering the moonlight.

Mother's name, in the Central Plains dialect, is the tears of the stars.

Then my mother hugged her and hummed a little tune from the Western Regions. When she woke up, she saw her looking at the West and smiling, without making a sound.

I don't know whether I am looking at the lover who is traveling far away, or looking at the distant homeland.

It is said that on the night when the news of the funeral reached the Western Regions, the Duke of the country who used soldiers like a god was defeated for the first time in his life.

At that time, Ye Jiluo was just remembering things, and he didn't feel hatred or anger towards his father, but what can be seen is that until now, Ye Jiluo has never said a word "I miss my father".

……

Waking up from the half-dream and half-awake memories, what is playing in my ears is the lively little Hulei of a traveler in the Western Regions, sweet and spicy kumiss flows in my throat, and the smell of roasted mutton floats in my nose. I feel far away from the Central Plains.

The sentimental young girl from the Western Regions in front of her eyes slanted her eyes under her veil, as if she was curious about how there could be such three handsome young men in the depths of the remote desert.

Unfortunately, as a technical nerd, one is completely devoted to map research, and the other is really tired from running around, drinking a little wine and then laying dead on the spot, and the last one looks like a rich and handsome young man. , someone said blankly: "I am a broken sleeve, thank you."

The girl from the Western Regions thought that the Central Plains people were really terrible.

"...there is more than [-] miles to Anxi. It takes three to five days to arrive with a caravan. Because it is the season of sandstorms, the landforms change overnight. The art of flying with a sword is the easiest way to lose your way. You have to look for the sun wheel in the vast sand sea. The location of the flowers is very difficult, but it dragged on for a longer time," Xie Yi analyzed: "To cross this sea of ​​death sand, you must rest in a city of Loulan Kingdom in the middle to discern the correct direction."

Ye Ershao naturally listened to the technicians. At this time, a bearded man suddenly sat next to him with a rough voice.

"Guests from the Central Plains, are you going to follow us to Loulan Yantuluo City at the next stop?"

Xie Yi had a lot of experience and knew what this person was trying to remind him of, so he said, "I don't know what your Excellency has taught you?"

"I didn't say that the Loulan people are now at war with the Central Plains. Although I don't like them always robbing caravans, they are all Hu Da's people. We still have to do business, otherwise Hu Da won't protect us. We're getting rich."

Hu Da is the god of the desert believed by the countries in the Western Regions. Business travelers from the Western Regions often pray to Hu Da to bless the business roads. Over time, they often talk about Hu Da.

The bearded man unscrewed a glass bottle and took a sip of the Persian essential oil in it. He felt better, and continued: "Because the war has been going on for too long, now the Loulan people are a little upset when they see the Central Plains people. The city lord there heard that three A few months ago, he was arresting businessmen from the Central Plains everywhere in the city to vent his anger. Master Haji’s nephew in our team was arrested and imprisoned because he looked like a Central Plains person. He has not been released yet... Hey, Master Haji this time I just brought a lot of treasures and wanted to exchange my nephew from the city lord."

Ye Ershao thought for a while and said, "You say that, do you want to do business with us and get what you need?"

Jiluo's body shape is fine, her eyes are of a special color, and she has the characteristics of a high nose and deep eyes from the Western Regions, but now the Er Shao Yanjia's body shape is completely based on the exquisite and elegant appearance of the people in the Central Plains, which is a bit difficult to deal with.

Not to mention the rough guy who was born and raised in Yuntianqing, although Xie Yi doesn't look like a Central Plains person, he definitely doesn't have the lively and detached characteristics of the Western Regions. He is as elegant and dignified as a well-educated nobleman from a century-old family.

Ye Ershao said: "Look at the three of us in disguise, we should be able to get away with our acting skills."

The bearded man said: "Based on my many years of experience, they can do it, but you can't get away with it."

Second Young Master Ye said angrily: "Do you dare to doubt Young Master Ye Yingdi's acting skills? Did you think that Young Master used to turn a windmill and sneak into the Daxiu Square like a yellow chicken, no one doubted him?"

At this time Yun Tianqing opened his eyes and said, "Your ponytails are on fire."

Second Young Master Ye suddenly sat up and found that the hair on his hair was not on fire, so he reacted and cursed: "...Ci'ao, you are all boring."

Yun Tianqing glanced at him expressionlessly, and continued to sleep.

In short, in the end Yun Tianqing said that he had the Wind Returning to the Cloud Immortal Art and could stealth and stealth.Xie Yi is easy to handle, it looks very reliable, just change into clothes and put on a fake beard.But Ye Ershao always looked like "I am the only one in the sky and the world is the only one who respects the young master because the people of the Central Plains refused to accept and came to fight". In addition to his small stature, the defenders of the city are not blind.

The bearded man looked at it and came up with an idea.

"...my wife has women's clothing."

If Ye Ershao Xinzi was a rough guy, he might really blow up his hair now, but at this time, although he is wearing a man's shell, he has always boasted that he is a pure and beautiful young girl at heart. After struggling with his face for a while, he just I was fooled.

"...Brother Yun has already realized it?"

Yun Tianqing turned over, stretched his waist, and looked indifferently: "Some things are wrong with me, I have nothing to say, I'll wait until he kills me."

"..."

……

Across the vast sea of ​​sand, merchants brought their country's proud jewels and satin, just to see such a scene after such a long journey... Where there are people, there are treasures waving to the merchants.

Moreover, during this kind of caravan travel, there may be a lost country that reveals its heritage buried under the yellow sand, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise for the merchants during the journey.

The old people said: The desert is the gold of children, giving young people the power to explore and let them grow up.

On the fourth day, when the long river was setting and the afterglow was about to end, he finally saw a phantom of a city in the sand sea. It was not until the bearded man took a water mirror to confirm that it was not a mirage that the whole caravan cheered.

Second Young Master Ye was unusually silent at this time.

The distant Tucheng inexplicably coincides with the vague totem of Loulan in memory, but unfortunately it is not the capital city of Loulan in memory.

At that time, it seemed that the former Loulan King was newly mourned, and my mother took her out of customs and returned to Loulan privately, but unfortunately she didn't seem to be recognized by the tribe, and was taken back by the father who sneaked into Loulan overnight in a disguised form within a few days.

At that time, I was still very young, so I only remembered a fragment of many things.

After gazing for a long time, Ye Ershao put down the curtain of the car until the chilling city tower was in front of him.

Yun Tianqing had disappeared without knowing when, so he knew it was time to enter the city.

The female family members in the camel cart are all women in their 50s and [-]s from the Western Regions, and they are far from avoiding suspicion of this childish young man, on the contrary, they like it very much.

Then I heard a woman speaking some Central Plains dialect mixed with local dialect.

After listening for a long time, I saw her take out a dress with a gold pattern veil. This kind of dress is a saree unique to girls in the Western Regions, often decorated with gold and jade, which is very gorgeous.

Ye Ershao opened the curtain and said to Xie Da who was reading a book on the back of a camel, "Do you think I have exposed the characteristics of a girl?"

Xie Datou didn't raise his head and said, "Since when did Mr. Ye behave like a daughter?"

...Don't be like this.

……

Since Xi Wu succeeded to the throne, he has been bloodthirsty and good at martial arts. Most of the soldiers under the imperial court are cruel and aggressive. It is not that the ordinary defenders of the city are easily fooled. The mixed-race human looked very similar to a Central Plains person, so he was caught on the spot, broke a leg and took him away.

The city soldier pressed the scimitar on his waist, his falcon-like eyes flicked over the caravan crowd coming and going, and he paused slightly when his gaze flicked over Xie Yi.

"You, look up."

At that time, Xie Yi was still reading a book, and when he heard the words, he raised his head, revealing a pair of emerald eyes, looking at others suspiciously.

Although there are quite a few people from the Western Regions with black hair and black eyes, if the pupils are different in color, most of them must be nobles of the Western Regions.

There was more respect in Cheng Bing's eyes: "Let go."

Xie Yi nodded, and glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, the camel cart with the female relatives just stopped, and another city soldier even heard Loulan's local ditty humming in the cart, the soft nasal sound tickled his heart a bit, Although he felt that there must be no problem, through the translucent car curtain, the female relatives inside were picturesque, so he insisted on opening the car curtain.

As soon as the curtain of the car was opened, Cheng Bing had just glanced at a delicate face, half-hidden by his black hair, with a look of annoyance on his brows, he was immediately blocked by an old woman on the side before he took a second look .

"Anzhi is something you can see?!"

Cheng Bing just couldn't restrain his lust for a while, and when he heard the old woman say that there might be a noble lady from some family, it was really rude to insist on looking at the female relatives, so he let go after touching his nose.

Passing through the chilling city gate, it reflects the prosperity of the trade hub on the Silk Road.

There are businessmen coming and going on both sides, and the sound of asking prices is mixed with the aroma of barbecue and boiled chicken, and it suddenly becomes lively.

Walking slowly through the crowded streets, you can see a statue of a woman standing in the center of the city from afar.

Xie Yi saw that there were also some people standing still under the statue, and they even seemed to pay homage, so he couldn't help but look up, and couldn't help being startled when he saw it.

I don't know who made the statue of the woman. It is made of opal stone. Although it is a dead thing, it can be seen that the woman would be extremely beautiful if she was alive.

The people looked at the woman almost reverently, muttering something.

"Is this the god Loulan believes in?"

The curtain in the camel cart was lifted, and the voice was a little confused: "They are saying that this is Loulan's pride—given by God... the tears of the stars."
