My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 653 Loulan
The news of these small countries is very well-informed. When Li Zhicai came to the Anxi Protectorate, envoys from these countries came.

Li Zhi was holding a lot of invitations in his hand at this time, and deliberately placed Loulan's invitation at the top.

Loulan, this name is no stranger to future generations, and it is one of the most familiar names among the hundred countries in the Western Regions.

This country is mysterious to the vast majority of people. In later generations, this country that was originally located on the banks of Lop Nur has long since disappeared in the dust of history, and most of the remaining relics have been submerged in yellow sand.

At this time, Li Zhi held the invitation card from Loulan, and was ready to go here to have a look.

"Di Liguna, have you been to Loulan?"

Di Liguna shook her head, it seems that the Western Regions are really big!Even if she is a native of the Western Regions, there are many places she has never been to.This is not surprising, the traffic is blocked at this time, and the scope of people's activities is very small, and some people have never even been out of the county where they live in their entire lives.

At this time, the Anxi Dufu Mansion was located on the bank of the Chishui River, and Loulan was located on the bank of Lop Nur. In fact, the distance in a straight line is not very far, but there is a vast desert in the middle, which is the Taklamakan Desert of later generations. However, this desert has no later generations at this time. That’s all that’s scary, many of these oases were formed by melting snow from Kunlun’s icebergs.

If you are familiar with the path, it is not impossible to cross the Taklamakan at this time. It will be difficult for future generations to cross this desert with the most advanced equipment.

"Little aunt, sister Wan'er, are you interested in visiting these countries?"

"Your Majesty is willing to transfer, we will naturally accompany His Majesty."

Li Zhi was holding a bunch of invitation cards, what was he doing in the Western Regions? Naturally, he came to taste the delicious food, beauties and beautiful scenery of the Western Regions.No, they came here to conquer the Turks in person.

But this is not ready to fight, so I went to various small countries to stroll around and meet the beauties of various countries, no, the royal families of various countries.

As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I personally went to various small countries in the Western Regions. Isn't this also a means of connecting feelings and wining people's hearts?

Naturally, when the time comes, there will be lovely people, and it will be necessary to have some in-depth exchanges.

To take a step back, these countries all knew that they had come to the Anxi Protectorate, and they all sent envoys to invite them. If they didn't go by themselves, it wouldn't be disrespectful to others.

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and Li Zhi still wants to give these countries this bit of face.

Only when the Western Regions are stable, can Li Zhi boldly expand the territory!

At this time, Li Zhi was holding the invitation from Loulan, and he had already called the maid arranged for him by Sister Huang.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Is the envoy from Loulan Kingdom still in the city?"

"Still there, is Your Majesty looking for them?"

"Invite the envoys of Loulan Kingdom to come!"

"Yes, servant girl, let someone invite you."

Li Zhi made his decision to go to Loulan that day, and these Loulan envoys happened to know a road through Taklamakan, and they could arrive in Loulan in four or five days.

Now that he decided to go to Loulan, Li Zhi decided to set off with the envoy the next day. That night, Li Zhi drank a lot of wine with his son-in-law and sister Huang.

Princess Qinghe was a little bit reluctant for Li Zhi to leave so soon, after all, he had only been here for a few days.

However, my ninth younger brother is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and it is also a matter of business to go to various vassal states, and it is not easy for Princess Qinghe to stop him.

On the second day, the son-in-law and Princess Qinghe sent Li Zhi and his party out of the Protectorate's Mansion, and they reluctantly watched their ninth brother go away until they couldn't see their backs.

"Okay, Qinghe, don't feel bad anymore, let's go back."

"Ninth Brother has just been here for a few days, and then left again."

"He's His Majesty now, he's busy. Besides, it's not like he won't come back."

"When I came to the Western Regions, I finally had a relative. Qinghe was really reluctant."

Cheng Huailiang patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder, and Princess Qinghe followed her son-in-law back in three steps.

At this time, Li Zhi took his little aunt, Li Wanluluo and a group of escorts. The little aunt and others were riding camels, while Li Zhi was pulling his baby Tuantuan. He was not willing to ride, so he pulled forward.

Originally, Li Zhi, my precious boy, wanted to stay in the Protectorate's Mansion, but this guy insisted on following me, and he didn't want to stay in the Protectorate's Mansion alone, so Li Zhi had to take it with him.

The group followed the Loulan envoys closely, fearing that they would get lost on the road and in the desert.

This is really entering the desert, so there is really only yellow sand in his eyes, Li Zhi can't tell the direction at all, anyway, east, west, north, south, no matter which direction he looks, he can only see the rolling desert, except for sand or sand .

There are occasional trees and water sources on the road. For several days in a row, these Loulan people can find water sources when everyone's drinking water is about to run out. It is like a living map of this desert.

On the fourth day, Li Zhi could already see the city wall in the distance, where the little aunt rode a camel and ran to a sand dune, and shouted to everyone.

Li Wan and Lu Luo hurried up on their camels, and what caught their eyes was an endless blue lake in the distance.

The lake in the desert, the tears of Taklamakan, the gift of God, at this time the largest lake in the Western Regions, Lop Nur.

There, Li Zhi also ran up with Tuan Tuan at this time, seeing the blue lake in the distance, Li Zhi's fatigue of several days was also swept away, and Tuantuan there had already run a few laps on the sand dunes excitedly.

At this time, the wind blows from the direction of Lop Nur, which makes people feel the abundant water vapor, moist and cool.

Everyone moved forward very quickly during this section of the road. When they reached the outside of Loulan City, the King of Loulan had already brought his courtiers to greet them outside the city.

Li Zhi took a look at their attire, and found that it was not much different from the ordinary costumes of countries in the Western Regions. In terms of facial features and skin color, they were similar.Li Zhi was really disappointed, but thinking about it, it was normal. Loulan was originally one of the hundred countries in the Western Regions, and its ethnic costumes were similar to other countries in the Western Regions, which was really normal.

If there is a big difference, there is a problem.

This is probably because the Loulan in Li Zhi's impression is too special. When later generations talk about the Western Regions, they are always the first to think of Loulan. Loulan is an inescapable existence in the Western Regions in people's minds.

This made Loulan stand out from the hundreds of countries in the Western Regions. In fact, the real Loulan is only one of the hundred countries. In terms of economic and military population, it is only the top of the hundred countries.

Li Zhi's eyes wandered around the crowd, wanting to see if there were any Loulan princesses out of the city to greet them, but Li Zhi was disappointed in the result, there were no princesses at all, all of them were men.

"Your Majesty, it is really an honor for our Loulan Kingdom that you have come from a long distance this time to visit Loulan in person."

"King Loulan is being polite. I have long wanted to visit Loulan. In Chang'an, I have heard that Loulan is rich in food, wine, and beauties."
