The army only stayed in Guishan for half a day before continuing its journey north. This time, Liu Xin personally set out with the first army. He wanted to meet Ban Tou'er early and see his son. Kang Ju's treatment was worlds apart from that of Dawan.
Farewell, when Liu Xin just arrived at Guishan City, he sent a flying horse to Beitian to deliver a note to Ban Tou'er about the army's transit. At the same time, he notified the situation in Dawan. After entering the territory of Kangju, the army
Also try to slow down as much as possible to avoid trampling on farmland and disturbing people.
However, the people in Kangju were also very friendly to the Han army. The people here were already good at doing business. In recent years, thanks to the opening of the Silk Road, they had also gained huge profits, and the Han army stationed in Beitian City
He often goes to work in the fields during busy farming seasons, brings his own dry food and drinking water, and volunteers to help the people harvest and plant crops, thus winning the hearts of the local people.
Seeing a large group of Han troops passing by, the people of Kangju, whether they were farmers or businessmen, would consciously stop, make way for the troops, applaud them, and some would bring food and water to give the soldiers some peace of mind.
It feels like being in the mainland of Han Dynasty.
The team advanced slowly like this. In the evening, as the sun gradually tilted to the west, a group of people and horses slowly appeared in the distance. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the black clothes and black armor shone with a strange light. It was the Han army stationed in Beitian City.
Greeted in front of the message.
The two armies met, and there was a roar of cheers. There were fellow countrymen and even brothers from the same place in both armies. It was a special feeling to meet in a foreign country. Liu Xin simply ordered to rest in place and let the soldiers relax. There were still many battles ahead.
Waiting for them, such a happy scene may not be seen often.[
Suddenly, a pure black horse sprang out from the Khotan garrison and galloped in front of Liu Xin. The black knight on the horse rose into the air, turned over beautifully, and landed gently behind Liu Xin, holding his hands tightly.
The one who hung around Liu Xin's waist and refused to let go for a long time was none other than the thief from the Black Tornado class.
Not only the soldiers of the First Legion who followed Liu Xin, but also the Han garrison in Bitian City did not know the relationship between Liu Xin and Ban Touer. When they saw this scene, many people tightly held the weapons in their hands.
Watching them nervously.
Liu Xin was a bit dissatisfied: "Too'er, don't be like this, there are many people watching!"
But Ban Tou'er said nonchalantly: "Just watch, it's not something shameful!"
The Kangju subjects who followed Ban Taoer were so nervous. They just covered their mouths and snickered. Kangju people were open-minded and women also had considerable status. Some people thought that they were so idle that they restricted the behavior of a widowed woman.
Private life, even if she is the Queen Mother, does not know, so Ban Tou'er does not have to worry about this matter spreading out. On the other hand, Ban Tou'er is also full of confidence in Liu Xin's Western Expedition. As long as the big man can do it this time
After winning, after the people of Kangju learned about her relationship with the Han Emperor, her position in Kangju would only be further consolidated.
"What are you looking at? Go and do what you have to do. They're all gone. They're all gone." Liu Xin waved at her soldiers helplessly, and then whispered to Ban Tou'er, "Why did you run away? You're not here.
Whoever controls the city of Bhotan and who takes care of his son is too imprudent!"
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Ban Tiao'er pouted, but when she mentioned her son, she became excited again. She pointed forward and said, "That's it for the little guy. He misses his father so much that he goes crazy."
Got it!"
Ban Tou'er is not blindly confident. In the past two years, she has completely controlled the situation in Kangju and has become the true master of Kangju. Don't underestimate Black Tornado. I think back then she could manage a group of unruly and tough horse bandits into submission.
She was obedient and became the most feared gangster in the entire Western Region. She couldn't do it with just her martial arts skills and sufficient skills. Now that she has the strong support of the big man, she is more than enough to cope with the situation in Kang Ju's country.
While she was talking, Maria had already carried the young Kang Ju on horseback and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, call me daddy!"
Kangju Dynasty Liu Xin glanced at him timidly but refused to speak.
Liu Xin repeatedly exclaimed: "It's over, it's over, my son refuses to recognize me!"
Ban Tou'er burst out laughing and said teasingly: "Ban'er, scream quickly, this is the biological father you have always wanted to see!"
Liu Xin asked in shock: "What did you call him?"
Ban Tou'er raised his face and said, "Liu Ban, I did it!"
Liu Xin frowned and muttered in a low voice: "It's so unpleasant!"
But Ban Tou'er said nonchalantly: "I like it, do you care?"
Over there, King Kangju Liu Ban was encouraged by his mother and finally cautiously called "Dad", which immediately made Liu Xin smile from ear to ear and didn't care whether the name sounded good or not, although Liu Xin already had
He has given birth to many children, but he has not been able to see this child for several years, which makes him miss him the most.
After the little guy called out "Daddy", he seemed to be excited and shouted in a babyish voice: "Daddy hugs, daddy hugs..."
Cleia, who was following Liu Xin, quickly winked at her sister. Maria understood and coaxed and coaxed the little guy away. The two sisters first followed Liu Xin, and then followed Ban Tou'er,
Knowing the secret between them, and knowing that it is not easy for the two of them to meet once, there must be a lot of intimate things to say.[
Ban Tou'er lay behind Liu Xin and whispered for a while, then suddenly asked: "It's getting late. There is a city of Dhaka not far ahead. Although the city is small, the scenery is extremely beautiful, especially now that it is the season of alfalfa flowers.
, I will take you to see the flowers tomorrow!"
Liu Xin thought for a while, shook her head, and said, "You mother and son are out, but I'm still a little worried. I have to get to Beitian tonight!"
Ban Tou'er was not that kind of pretentious woman. She immediately called her horse with a whistle, jumped up, and said loudly: "Let's go!"
Liu Xin also quickly reined in the horse and chased after him. The Han troops stationed in Kangju were all cavalry. There were 5,000 people who followed Ban Touer to greet Liu Xin, plus 10,000 light cavalry from the First Army.
Under the scene, thousands of horses galloped, which was extremely spectacular, but Liu Xin was a little worried. She chased Ban Tao'er and asked: "Can my son bear it when he runs so fast?"
Ban Tou'er laughed and said: "What the hell, I take him riding horses every day!"
Liu Xin couldn't help but shook her head. This was to train her son to be a horse bandit from an early age. In fact, he understood it wrong. Ban Tao'er couldn't stay idle and didn't want to stay in the palace all day. Hunting in the suburbs of the city was her best choice.
Favorite entertainment activities. Such a young woman must find a way to vent her energy. Otherwise, how can she survive the long night? Years of gang life have made Ban Tou'er develop an extremely cautious character.
She is willing to let her son out of her sight, so she takes her son with her every time she goes out.
It was nearly midnight when the army arrived at Beitian City. Liu Xin unexpectedly discovered that the gate of Beitian City had not yet been closed. When the door was open, more than a dozen well-dressed Kangju nobles were waiting there, eagerly waiting. Among them were
Several of them were quite friendly. Liu Xin vaguely remembered that they seemed to be ministers of Kang Juguo. She couldn't help but smile and said: "Too'er, your prestige is quite high. The ministers have been waiting here all night!"
But Ban Tou'er frowned and said, "No, something big must have happened!"
At this time, the leader had already led his ministers to greet him, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and your Majesty, the Queen Mother!"
Ban Tou'er stepped forward and said coldly: "Kang Jing, why are you here late at night!"
It turned out that the man in charge was named Kang Jing, and he was the newly appointed Prime Minister Kang Ju. Kang Jing hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Parthia sent an envoy to ask for two people. I don't dare to act alone, so I'm here to wait here!"
Ban Tou'er said displeasedly: "Although Kangju and Parthia are close to each other, we go there many times. Who does he want to ask for!"
Kang Jing hesitated for a moment and whispered: "They are two female generals!"
Ban Tou'er said angrily: "People, drag out the Parthian envoy and chop him down!"
"Wait a minute, if the two countries are at war, I won't kill the envoy." Liu Xin reached out to stop everyone and said in surprise, "Too'er, you Kangju still have a female general!"
Cleia blushed and said softly: "It's us two sisters!"
It turned out that in order to protect Ban Tou'er's mother and son, Liu Xin left behind two thousand flying tiger guards, and also kept Sister Cleia behind. However, the palace was full of women and it was inconvenient for men to enter, so Ban Too'er went there.
A women's guard of 500 people was organized, and Sister Cleia became the leader and instructor of this women's guard. When Ban Tiao'er had free time, he would personally teach them their kung fu, so the strength of this women's guard was not very high.
Losing to men, but as the leaders of the women's guard, the Cleia sisters were not only beautiful, but also superb in martial arts. They were deeply loved by the people of Kangju. They all called them female generals, and they had become celebrities in Kangju.
Liu Xin was even more surprised: "Why did Parthia ask for the two of them!"
Kang Jing bowed deeply and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Caracalla of the Qin Dynasty is going to marry the daughter of Artaban, the second prince of Parthia. Artaban learned the names of the two female generals, so he sent someone to ask for them, saying that they were for
His daughter is a dowry!"
Liu Xin said with disdain: "Kangju is not a vassal of Parthia. How can he do whatever he wants? Besides, I still have 20,000 strong men stationed in Beitian City. You won't be so nervous. Wait here late at night."
!”
Kang Jing sighed and said, "I dare not hide anything from your majesty. After discussing with everyone, I all felt that although the Han Dynasty was strong, it was beyond the reach of the whip. If we don't agree to Artaban this time, we will offend Parthia and Qin at the same time. I'm afraid that the small country of Kang Juwan will be in trouble."
It’s hard to bear this pressure, but whether you agree or not depends entirely on the Queen Mother, and I don’t dare to act on my own!"
Liu Xin sneered and said: "They are asking for a female general this time. If they ask for your queen mother next time, you will agree or not." [
