The First Emperor Yingzheng was impressed by the fact that Li Xin was originally from Longxi and could be regarded as one of the old Qin people. When he entered Xianyang Palace, he was taken with him.
Then he was put into the army.
Although there was a danger of attacking Chu, Zhao Tuo and others worked hard to save a lot of losses. That battle was caused by Li Xin's reckless advance.
Later... he was transferred to Longxi by himself, and was in charge of the military affairs of Longxi and the military affairs of the two counties of Hexi.
In recent years, many things have been handled well. After wiping out the six kingdoms, he was granted the title of Gaojue by himself. Sure enough, the Huns and their virtuous kings entered Wusun.
Li Xin shouldn't not know.
Moreover, there are other channels in the two counties of Hexi. They have not submitted any documents. Could it be that the Loulan priestess in front of him deceived him?
After hearing the words of the emperor's younger brother, his eyes also fell on the female priest.
"How dare you, a small country in a lower state, to deceive His Majesty the First Emperor?"
"The wise kings of the Xiongnu left and right have entered the country of Wusun. This news was secretly passed down by a member of the Wusun king's clan."
"That Yan family is a daughter of the Loulan Kingdom. A few years ago, the King of Wusun ordered all the countries in the Western Regions to donate women, so she entered the King of Wusun's palace."
A moment.
The entire magnificent palace suddenly felt endless pressure, and a force came to the head of the palace, His Majesty the First Emperor of Qin.
A Da Qin prince came not far away. Although he did not look directly at the prince, he had been in Xianyang for many days, and the noble people in Xianyang of the Great Qin heard about it.
Above the temple, besides His Majesty the First Emperor, was the prince.
Lord Wuzhen!
Xuan Qingzi!
His Majesty the First Emperor's half-brother, he has a noble bloodline and a noble status. He is considered to be inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people in the Great Qin Dynasty.
Moreover, he was the commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty who led an army to defeat the Yuezhi and the Xiongnu 200,000-allied army many years ago. He then led his troops to destroy the Yuezhi country, and his prestige spread throughout the countries in the Western Regions.
It is said that he is a very young prince and his every word has a great influence on the entire Qin State.
"The Yan clan of King Wusun?"
"Well done, how does it feel for you to have her deliver this news?"
Zhou Qing turned his body slightly and looked at the Loulan priest who was wearing a fiery red cloak. His magical power was not working well in the Xingle Palace.
Although the operation is not going well, some things are still certain. What the Loulan priest said is not a lie.
"This..., this is just a common thing."
"The Yan family often delivers some secret news in the Wusun Palace, or the Wusun King raises troops to other countries, so Loulan can be prepared."
"Perhaps King Wusun sent people to various countries to announce the donation of women and wealth."
"As the Yan family said, the virtuous kings of the Xiongnu left and right entered the Wusun Palace without any fanfare. They stayed in secret for a few days and then left."
The priestess clasped her hands in front of her body and bowed deeply.
It is not a secret that the Yan family often delivers news, not only to the daughter of Loulan, but also to the women of other countries in the palace.
After all, Loulan is a small country. It knows the news in advance and can make preparations in advance, so as not to cause harm to the Wusun Kingdom and engage in war, which is not what the Queen wants to see.
"Whether it is true or false, I will be able to tell in a few days."
"I am very happy that you have traveled thousands of miles to come to perform Hajj."
"Dianke, I wish you a happy life and a good settlement. I will be rewarded by your boss."
The First Emperor Ying Zheng didn't say much. Just relying on his one-sided words was not enough to make a deeper judgment. He rushed to Longxi and there was news.
However, the previous interest in seeing a small foreign country was gone.
It is a small country with few people, poor land, and not much output. Therefore, the ten pairs of beautiful jade sent to me on this trip are acceptable, and the other gems are not uncommon.
On the contrary, the Xiongnu left and right wise kings entered Wusun, which is somewhat interesting.
The country of Wusun has 200,000 men who control strings, which is enough to intimidate the countries in the Western Regions. Fortunately, at this moment, the Xiongnu left and right virtuous kings entered Wusun.
If it's a trivial matter?
Absolutely impossible!
What about planning for the Western Region?
It’s also impossible!
Then, there is only one possibility.
"Here!"
Dianke understood clearly and gave another gift, preparing to take these people from the small Loulan country down.
"There's no rush."
"I still have a few questions to ask this Loulan priestess."
Zhou Qing moved his steps slightly and waved his hand to Dianke.
"Yes, Prince!"
Dianke nodded and bowed again.
In the temple dynasty, only the princes and princes have such majesty.
"Look up, you can speak the elegant language of Da Qin, it shows that you still put your heart into it."
"What's your name?"
Meeting the envoy from Loulan Kingdom in Xingle Palace today was really beyond Zhou Qing's expectation. Now that we have met him, there are some topics we can talk about.
"Lolan Sacrifice Nakli has met the Wuzhen Commandery and Marquis of Great Qin!"
Loulan's ancient ceremony fell, and Naqali raised her beautiful head, looking at the prince in front of her with bright eyes, and then, a gleam of light flickered.
The Duke of Daqin is indeed extremely young!
Just by looking at it, I felt a different kind of pressure rushing towards me, making my heart tremble.
"I once read in an ancient book and heard that there is a country called Loulan in the west, and there is a fountain of youth in the country. Drinking it regularly can prolong your life."
"There is also a treasure passed down from ancient times - Tears of the Goddess. Is it true?"
This female priest of Loulan has a strange power. She will not be practicing the Qi cultivation of all the Xia schools. In time, she will be like the Confucian cultivator who cultivates Haoran's righteousness.
The power of spiritual awareness is not weak, comparable to that of a very high-level innate warrior. Although he cannot control the vitality of heaven and earth, he presumably has a secret method within him.
There was nothing to be avoided, he said it bluntly.
The First Emperor, Ying Zhengju, was writing something after the first case. He didn't pay attention to the emperor's brother's actions, but the emperor's brother's words... Fountain of Youth? Tears of the Goddess?
There is such a treasure in the small country of Loulan?
Spring water that prolongs life?
Is there such a spring in the world?
"Um?"
"This... what the prince said... is indeed true."
"Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Loulan Kingdom had the Fountain of Youth. Although it was the Fountain of Youth, drinking it only made people healthier and had no effect on longevity."
"And the spring water gushes out very rarely, and only a few are drinkable. Hundreds of years ago, there was no Fountain of Youth in Loulan."
"The Tears of the Goddess... are a treasure passed down from generation to generation in Loulan Kingdom. They are kept by the high priest. They are treasures that have existed since the founding of Loulan Kingdom."
Naqali's smart eyes suddenly widened a lot, and she looked at the Lord Wuzhen of Great Qin in front of her. His words... Yuluo Loulan's inherited treasure.
I wanted to deny it, but when I met the prince's gaze, my heart trembled again for a moment, my eyebrows lowered, and I had no choice but to respond.
Furthermore, deep in my heart, I felt panic for no reason.
"Hahaha, no need to be nervous."
"I am not planning to seize Loulan's treasure by force."
"Nakli, I have remembered you. Perhaps, I will travel to the countries in the Western Region in the future."
Zhou Qing waved his hand, feeling Nakli's nervousness, so he didn't say much, he was just a little interested.
As he said that, he looked at Dianke.
"Loulan Envoy, please!"
The Dianke bowed and led the envoys from Loulan Kingdom to leave Xingle Palace and return to the envoy's office in Xicheng.
"Quickly pass this secret message to Li Xin. I want to know the latest news about the Xiongnu and Wusun Kingdom!"
"This secret letter was delivered to Meng Tian, instructing him to step up the training of the Golden Fire Cavalry and penetrate the Great Wall of Yan and Zhao, speeding up."
The first emperor, Ying Zheng, stamped the two secret letters written with clay and handed them to his attendant, regardless of whether there was any movement from the Huns.
There are some things where there is nothing wrong with being cautious.
The Huns were so powerful that they unified all the grassland tribes. The wise kings on both sides entered the country of Wusun. Their intentions were unpredictable. Although the Qin Dynasty was not afraid,... the focus at the moment was not on them.
Rather, we need to rectify the Xia and stabilize the Xia.
However, if the Hu tribe really invades, the Qin cavalry will have nothing to fear.
"Fountain of Youth."
"Tears of the Goddess!"
"Does the Kingdom of Loulan really have those things?"
Watching the attendants go away, the First Emperor Ying Zheng stood up again and continued the words that the emperor's brother and Loulan had just said about offering sacrifices.
"That was recorded in a classic of the Central Academy. Xuan Qing felt it. When I asked about it just now, I never thought it really existed."
"The countries in the Western Regions are in chaos compared to the previous countries in the Xia, Spring and Autumn Period, and have different styles and etiquette. No envoys from the Wusun Kingdom came this time, and I am afraid that their intentions are unpredictable."
"When the Xia is stable, we should continue to develop the two counties in Hexi and turn them into four, six, and eight counties in Hexi. At present, the countries in the Western Regions have returned to Wusun, and the Yueshi who fled west are under the influence of the Xiongnu."
"Sooner or later something will happen!"
I don’t know if the Tears of the Goddess and the Fountain of Youth are as strange as the River of Ages, but Zhou Qing feels that he still has time to take a look.
Facing the gaze of the elder brother, he said slowly.
"The countries in the Western Regions, the country of Pagoda, the country of Anxi,..."
"Under the Haotian, besides the Xia, there are still so many princes and small countries on the earth. I think... what the princes and princes said is true."
"Like the country of Loulan, the country is small and the people are weak, the land is barren, and the people are not many. It has been the same as before for thousands of years."
"In my opinion, there is no need to continue to exist, and the same goes for other countries in the Western Regions."
When the First Emperor Yingzheng stepped down from the throne, when he first ascended the throne, his vision was limited to the lands of the Xia Dynasty and the countries of Shandong.
Now..., the Qin cavalry wiped out all the other countries and unified all the Xia.
Who would have thought that besides the Xia, there was such a boundless world, a land of pagodas and peacocks, and according to reports, it was as bright as the Great Qin today.
With tens of millions of citizens and millions of soldiers, it is also powerful!
The Hu tribe in the north is now unified, with more than 300,000 to 400,000 string masters. Since the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Hu tribe has not been so prosperous.
The countries in the Western Region are the regions connected to it.
If the Xiongnu were able to control the countries in the Western Regions, they would undoubtedly have a huge boost, and the lands west of the Qin and Hexi would face a powerful threat.
The Kingdom of Loulan, the Kingdom of Qiuci... came one after another. This is actually a good thing, and it means that the countries in the Western Regions actually have different minds.
If the minds are not united, it means that there is much to be done.
If you want to combine their forces, you can only join forces vertically and horizontally!
Speaking of which, Mr. Gai Nie has been enjoying a lot of leisure time in Xianyang in recent months. Maybe...it's time for the descendants of Guigu to shine.
The troubles of the Hu people will have to be solved sooner or later.
In order to solve the problem of the Hu people in the north, it seems that...the problems of the countries in the Western Regions must be settled first.
"The countries in the Western Regions have relied on the barren desert green land to survive for thousands of years, and their splendor has stagnated. Sure enough, bathing in the splendor of summer is also a pleasure."
