Liu Xin wanted to use these prisoners to do three things. One was to reassure the people, the other was to numb the instigators behind the scenes, and the third was to elicit a real black whirlwind. In order to successfully implement these three purposes, we must let everyone, especially the prisoners. We all thought that Liu Xin was convinced that they were the black whirlwind gangs, so Liu Xin didn’t interrogate them at all. Now that they are in Muni City, there is no need for these prisoners to continue to escort them all the way. Therefore, it is necessary to find out their true identities. almost there,
Now, more than 500 prisoners are suffering in the army camp in the east of the city. This barracks is not a barracks of Shanshan State, but a camp built by the Han army in the east of the city by temporarily requisitioning people’s land and houses, where they used to live. The people here have been given some money, and temporarily went to rely on friends and relatives. The security there is so tight that even the soldiers of Shanshan are not allowed to approach.
The entire military camp was divided into several areas. In one of the open spaces, the prisoners sat on the ground, surrounded by Han soldiers with bows and arrows, and axe in hand. Wei Yan stood in front of them with a long knife and read aloud to them. As for the disposal method, several interpreters stood behind Wei Yan, translating what Wei Yan said into various languages commonly used in the Western Regions.
After Wei Yan's reading was over, the captives issued a burst of violence. Until now, they did not know that the Hans had long revealed that they were pretending to be the Black Tornado gang. The Hans gave them an ultimatum. If they don’t honestly explain what they are. For anyone, two of them will be executed every quarter of an hour. The two prisoners who were executed were not determined in the order in which they lined up, but were randomly selected by Wei Yan, as long as Wei Yan’s long knife was pointed. Which prisoner, it indicates that the prisoner’s life has come to an end,
As time passed, six prisoners had been dragged away from here one after another. No one can tell who will be the next one.
"time up,"
As the terrifying voice of the soldier guarding the hourglass sounded again, all the captives almost invariably lowered their heads. Although most of them did not understand Chinese, every time the voice sounded, among them Two people will be dragged out to receive the baptism of death. This psychological torture is more disintegrating than any torture.
Wei Yan, who had been sitting on the Hu stool, stood up slowly, slowly raised the long knife in his hand, and pointed it sharply at the crowd. Two wolves like Han soldiers immediately rushed to what the long knife was pointing at. The prisoner, the prisoner screamed "Ah", his eyes were black, and he passed out on the spot.
The long knife in Wei Yan's hand continued to slash in front of the captives. Suddenly, Wei Yan noticed that there was a prisoner with his head buried very low and his body trembling. Wei Yan's long knife stopped in front of him. The prisoner seemed to feel the cold light flashing in front of him, suddenly raised his head, and suddenly shouted hysterically: "I said,"
At this moment, a dark shadow appeared quietly outside the city of Muni. The wall of Muni city was only as high as one person, and the soldiers on the top of the city were also careless. The guards of the entire Muni city were in vain, and the dark shadow came under the wall. , Without using any tools, he leaped to the top of the city with a single leap,
The guard soldier was dozing off with a spear in his arms, only to feel that there was a flower in front of him, as if a figure was drifting in front of him. The soldier opened his eyes blankly and looked around without seeing any movement. He could not help but mumble softly. He lowered his head and continued to beat him to sleep. Not far from him, the dark figure quietly stuck his head out again, shook his figure, and dashed towards the palace.
At this time, the grand event in the palace has also reached an event.
At the banquet, Liu Xin announced his policy of rebuilding the Western Regions Duhu Mansion. After the completion of the Western Regions Duhu Mansion, the Han Dynasty will station 100,000 elite soldiers in the Western Regions. However, these 100,000 troops are stationed in the Western Regions and do not need to be undertaken by the Western Regions. A penny of food and rates, and the Western Regions do not need to pay taxes to the Han. Countries still have considerable autonomy. The only condition is that all countries must recognize that the entire Western Regions are the inherent territories of the Han. They are all vassals under the rule of the Han. ,
This policy can be said to be very generous to the countries of the Western Regions, and Hani’s last doubt in his mind is completely dispelled. Hani immediately expressed his full support for the policy announced by Liu Xin. Moreover, he has seen the mighty army of the Han army. After Weiwei, Hani even planned to wait for Liu Xin’s army to be officially stationed. He wanted to abolish more than half of his country’s army. With the protection of such a big Chinese army, what he needed so many troops to do, the army was abolished every year. He can save a large sum of money, he can use the money to do many other things,
Not only is Hani very supportive of Liu Xin's policy, but even the civil and military under him are overjoyed with such a generous policy, so the wine is particularly refreshing, and drinking is naturally indispensable to singing and dancing. A team of graceful Shanshan girls filed together. In, dancing in the middle of the hall,
The dances performed by these Shanshan girls are similar to those seen by Liu Xin in Amufan’s village, but these girls are more than one grade higher than those of the village girls in terms of appearance, figure, and dance skills, especially the lead dancers. That girl is even more of a stunning beauty,
Hani saw Liu Xin's gaze on the leading girl, he couldn't help but smiled, and said, "Master Liu, she is Xiao Wang's sister. I don't know how the adults think of the young girl's dancing."
Liu Xin picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and smiled: "One word, beautiful,"
Hani patted his slap lightly, and the singing and dancing in the field stopped. Hani waved to the leading girl and said, "Sister, don't come soon to give Master Liu a glass of wine,"
The girl was also very refreshed, with her willow swaying, she came to Liu Xin, pouring a glass full of rose-colored wine, her big blue eyes flashed, her red lips lightly opened, and she said with a smile: "Little girl Lou Lanjing My lord a glass,"
"Loulan," Liu Xin exclaimed, "what did you say, your name is Loulan,"
The girl smiled slyly and said, "Yes, the little girl is called Loulan."
The original name of Shanshan was Loulan. It was the only way for the Han's merchandise to be shipped to the West. It has always been the object of competition between the Han and the Huns. At that time, the Loulan King was also a typical wall grass. , And finally annoyed the big man, broke through the city of mud, beheaded the king of Loulan, and changed the name of the country to Shanshan. Liu Xin wanted to rebuild the Western Regions Protectorate. He also had some understanding of the situation in the Western Regions. Of course he is clear about history,
Liu Xin turned his head and glanced at Hani, but when he saw him winking at the young girl, he was concerned. This young girl is definitely not Loulan. The reason why she said so was obviously quite hostile to the arrival of the Han, Liu Xin Hehe smiled, and said: "The name Loulan is too murderous, not suitable for girls,"
It is not unfounded that he said this. Although he did not read much and most of the poems could not be remembered, he still remembered some verses, such as "If you don't break Loulan, you won't return", "You can kill Xiao Loulan without your hands." Here, Loulan has obviously become synonymous with enemy or war. Of course, these poems were written by later generations, but Liu Xin still feels a little inappropriate to associate such a beautiful girl with bloody war.
The speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Hani on the side was already secretly frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Liya, Hugh is nonsense, please apologize to the adults.
Liu Xin nodded. It turned out that Hani’s sister’s real name was Liya. She was pretty plausible, but she was so sassy, but she definitely couldn’t be called the word ya.
"I'm not talking nonsense, I will change my name to Loulan from now on," Liya said without fear of her brother. Absolutely, I don’t know if you Han Chinese have such wonderful singing and dancing,"
Although Liya was stubborn, she was not without measures. She also saw the scene of the Han army entering the city today. Such a powerful army cannot be resisted by a small Shanshan country, so she did not dare to change the country's name to Loulan after all. However, her dance skills are not only in the entire Shanshan country, but even if you look at the entire Western Regions, it is difficult for anyone to beat her. She wants to fight the arrogance of the Han people in her own strengths, but she does not know that in the Han people's concept, singing and dancing are for entertainment. Kabuki dancers are relatively lowly occupations,
Of course, Liu Xin didn't think so. He turned his head and glanced at Diaochan, but Diaochan shook his head and said softly, "The cheap concubine only dances for the master,"
She had said this to Liu Xin before, but now it’s just a reiteration.
Liu Xin suddenly smiled and said, "You are not only dancing for me, but for the whole big man. I am optimistic about you and compare her to me."
In response to Liu Xin’s ardent gaze, Diao Chan gritted his teeth and got up and came to the court. Diao Chan did not dance the Han dance as everyone imagined, but danced the same Huxuan dance as Li Ya, and Pulling Liya to dance together, Liya has been familiar with dancing since she was a child, but Diaochan seems to have practiced since childhood. The movements and dance steps are better than Liya. Diaochan's face is from beginning to end. They were all covered with a veil, making people unable to see their faces, but they had a hazy beauty. Soon she became the focus of the field, and even Liya was shocked by her dance skills.
Diaochan’s love for dance comes from the heart. After watching dances in Amufan’s village, she took Lv Qiling to practice quietly several times, and added elements of Qiang and Han dances in the middle. Many movements Liya couldn't do it, so she gradually compared Liya down.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly swayed in. The black shadow shook his hand slightly, and a few cold lights struck Liu Xin who was sitting on the top.
