March 29th, [-]th year of Changle.

The wind in northern Xinjiang is still cold at the end of March, and the frost and snow accumulated in the border towns and fields have not yet disappeared. New shoots are beginning to protrude from the leaves of withered grass. ocean.

Outside the city of Pinghe (pronounced "He", I am afraid of hitting the real place name), Hauljiang wandered aimlessly on the withered grass where the two regions meet, feeling as desolate as frost.

——After today, the land under his feet will completely belong to Qianping.

And he tried his best to deal with those hateful Qianping people for so long, but he failed to stay in his western business territory.

The young man sighed and lowered his brows and eyes. At this breath, bursts of powerlessness and frustration suddenly surged in his heart.

Seeing his gray complexion, the deputy general who followed him through most of the grassland couldn't help stepping forward and lowering his voice slightly: "Your Majesty...but what's on your mind?"

"No." Hauljiang shook his head in response, then sighed deeply, and turned his eyes to look at the boundless grassland, "This king just suddenly felt that compared with his father, this king seems to be a complete waste."

"How could it be?" The deputy general lowered his eyebrows and persuaded in a low voice, "Your Majesty is brave and unparalleled, he is the most heroic Haoerlang in our desert."

"Where is the waste?"

"But when I ascended the throne that day, I originally wanted to lead all my lovers to open up the territory for our Western Merchants and create a prosperous world." The young man said, silently clenched his fists in his sleeves, " As a result, now..."

He sent out ten cities in one battle.

"That's your bad luck, your majesty." The lieutenant patiently looked for reasons for him, "Besides, your majesty has only been on the throne for a short time, and your foundation is not yet stable. There are turbulence everywhere in the court and the field, and you lost a moment on the battlefield. , is also a common occurrence.”

"Just wait until you stabilize later."

"Heh, Aiqing should stop using these words to comfort the king right now." Hawulejiang smiled miserably, and raised his eyes to look at Changtian after speaking—the battle of being trapped in the quicksand not only destroyed him. The original confidence has become a nightmare that he cannot escape for the rest of his life.

"Ten cities were surrendered within one year of enthronement, if it takes another three to five years..."

So why don't you give away the entire Western business?
The young man twitched the corner of his mouth weakly. He didn't want to talk more with the officer, so he simply looked back at the grass that couldn't see the edge.

In a moment of melancholy, red flames ignited for no reason at the end of the field, and he stared in astonishment, staring fixedly at the girl in red who came riding a horse.

"Mu Mingyuan, hurry up with your movements, if you dawdle for a while, the rabbit will run away without a trace!"

The skirt of the girl on horseback is like a red cloud, and her voice is as clear as a silver bell.

She swung her whip and galloped her horse to chase a little brown-haired rabbit, the smile on her face was as bright as a spring flower.

The rabbit seemed to be driven to a dead end by her, and it seemed that it was about to lose the strength to run. Seeing this, the girl hurriedly reined in the horse, turned her wrist and shook out the soft tendon whip around her waist (it is not the same as whipping a horse whip) one).

The whip was swift and dexterous, and it firmly encircled the little rabbit's body. As soon as the girl withdrew the force from her wrist, the rabbit was immediately wrapped by the soft whip and fell into her arms.

"Hey! You were so good at running just now, didn't you get caught by me now? Let me see where you can go now!" Mo Wanyan hugged the rabbit and rubbed it hard, while smiling, she put away the soft whip in her palm .

When she was about to adjust the horse to return, she raised her eyes and saw the robust young man in a Hu suit a hundred feet away, her smile froze immediately.

... When did this person come out?

Has he been standing there? ?

Hell, why didn't she see it at all just now!
And why did he keep staring at her?

This, this, is she going or not?
The little princess hugged the rabbit in the messy wind, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should turn around and run away. The voice of Mu Xiaogong suddenly came from behind her while she was tangled. .

"Le Wan—did you catch that rabbit! Come back quickly if you catch it, brother Xu and the others are still waiting for us to do something!"

"Hey—I got it, I'm coming—" Mo Wanyan responded loudly, but when she left, she couldn't help but look back again.

When she took a sneak peek, she saw that young man dressed in a foreign race still had that strange expression, staring blankly at the steed under her crotch, and felt a sudden chill in her heart.

——Father, elder brother, she seems to have encountered a death|perversion! !
The little princess wrinkled her face uncontrollably as she thought about it, and then galloped to Mu Xiuning's side at a fast speed. Seeing her hurried appearance, the little princess couldn't help raising his eyebrows leisurely: "Happy!" Wan, are you being chased by a ghost? Why are you in a hurry to catch a rabbit?"

"Bah! You've just been chased by a ghost. I just met a strange person." Mo Wanyan curled her lips, then moaned and told the young man everything that happened just now.

"From your description, judging from the man's attire, he should be a Western businessman." After hearing this, Mu Xiuning stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "And he is also a child of a very high-born family."

"It's probably the new king of the Western Merchants, Hauljiang, or his trusted brothers and courtiers—it just so happened that Mingxuan was there recently to discuss the issue of land cession with them, and that person was probably here to negotiate and hand over the land. "

Mu Xiaogong raised his finger and said lightly: "I remember that among the ten cities that Xishang said in the peace treaty, it would cede to us, including the small city adjacent to Hanze."

"Well, that's it, no wonder." The little princess nodded her head seriously when she heard the words, and then easily put them behind her.

On the border between the two countries, Hawulejiang locked on the direction where the two bright colors disappeared for a long time, unable to return to his senses. It was not until the lieutenant called several times by his side that he slightly looked away.

"The girl who caught rabbits on the grassland just now..." The young man hesitated and glanced at the lieutenant general, "Do you recognize her?"

"Back to the king, I don't recognize you." The lieutenant shook his head, but he spoke cautiously in a short while, "But... Your Majesty, I can probably guess her identity."

Hawulejiang's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the sound: "Oh? Then who is she?"

"If I guessed correctly, that girl should be Princess Lewan, Emperor Qianping's favorite." The lieutenant lowered his eyes.

The young man frowned: "Are you sure?"

"Eight out of ten||nine." The lieutenant nodded.

"For one thing, the girl is wearing dry clothes, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, so the family must be either rich or expensive." The deputy general analyzed slowly with his fingers, "Secondly, the place where she can catch rabbits is in the Han Dynasty. The territory of Ze is not Qianping."

"A girl from an ordinary rich family is not capable of crossing the border between the two countries."

"Three things, Weichen just heard people say a while ago that the little princess from Qianping came to Northern Xinjiang with the members of the Mu family this time."

"Fourth, when Wei Chen heard the person who came to her just now, he vaguely called 'Le Wan'."

"So, that girl is very likely to be His Royal Highness Le Wan."

"So..." Hauljiang frowned, thoughtfully, "Okay, this king knows."

"By the way, what did you call me just now?"

"Going back to the king, there was a message from the soldiers just now, saying that Beili had suddenly sent an envoy." The deputy general cupped his hands, "It seems that he wants to cooperate with you."

The young man was slightly stunned upon hearing this: "Beili?"

Hawulejiang: Mom, I seem to be in love!
Little Princess: Brother, I seem to have met a pervert!

It is considered unlucky for the new western businessman to meet the little princess, and he is about to make a decision that he regrets for the rest of his life and start going crazy and unlucky!
