When General Guo heard that one of them was the grandson of Liu Shangshu, he immediately touched his beard and laughed. After laughing for a while, his eyes glowed coldly and said: "It's just the right time. After all, our two families are still relatives. Since my nephew has come to the Western Regions,

, how can I, as an uncle, neglect you? Come, I will go to the city gate the day after tomorrow to welcome the distinguished guests into the city."

He also asked people to prepare the yard and houses, intending to keep Liu Huan and others in the house.

With wounded soldiers, they walked for a long time to get there.

A high city appeared in front of them. This was the first large city they had seen in the Western Region for so long, so they all sped up.

General Meng reined in his horse, lit the two characters "Xizhou" on the city gate and read: "Gaochang--we have finally reached Gaochang."

Bai Shan and others:...

They looked up at the two big characters on the city gate. Bai Shan frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Xichang... Bah, why does the word Xizhou look a little golden? It can't be gilded, right?"

Guo Zhao on the side said: "It's not gold-plated, but it does have a bit of yellow."

He said: "You also know that Gaochang believes in Buddhism. In order to win over the people, my father made people focus on using yellow. Gold and copper are precious. We dare not use them on the city gates. But there is a kind of stone on the Gobi that can be polished."

The powder-soaked water that came out was yellow, and the color was very similar to gold, so my father asked me to smear it on the city gate."

Guo Zhao added: "Not only the two big characters on the city gate, but also some of the Buddha statues in the national temple are also painted with this kind of paint. No matter they are seen up close or from a distance, they are all golden and very beautiful."

They introduced here, and the people who had been waiting at the city gate trotted up to meet them, "Young General, Young General Meng, the general asked us to pick you up."

After saying that, he looked at Bai Shan and the others, and his eyes passed over them. He really couldn't recognize which one was Mr. Liu, so he bent down and said with a smile: "They are the gentlemen of the mission, the general has prepared a guest room at home.

I will take you to have a rest, little ones."

After that, he will invite them into the city.

Bai Shan and the others, who didn't know much about the relationship between the Liu and Guo families, really wanted to get involved with the Liu family at first, but after seeing this person, Bai Shan and Man Bao immediately gave up the idea.

Bai Shanxiao looked at Manbao.

Man Bao turned to Guo Zhao and smiled and said: "Thank you General Guo for your hospitality, but there are many people in the envoy, so we won't bother you for the time being. We will pay you a visit after we have settled down."

After saying that, she turned back to Nie Canjun and nodded slightly, signaling the convoy to advance into the city. They would find a post station to stay. If the post station was not good enough, they would have to find an inn.

The steward did not expect this and quickly stopped in front of the horse, "Oh, what is this little lady so anxious about..."

Bai Shan frowned, "How dare you, Mr. Zhou is the envoy of the mission, how can you easily stop him?"

After saying that, he looked at Guo Zhao unhappily.

Guo Zhao's face immediately sank and he scolded the steward: "Get out of the way quickly."

The steward hesitated and took a small step, but still stood in front of the horse. He smiled flatteringly at Guo Zhao and said, "Lang Jun, this is the general's wish. If the envoys don't come and stay, it will be difficult for me to explain to the general later."

ah."

Man Bao smiled half-heartedly and said, "Why, do I have to listen to your orders? If you don't listen, I won't be able to enter the city?"

The steward quickly said: "Your Excellency, you have misunderstood. It is our general who cares about Mr. Cousin and wants to entertain the adults. If the adults don't go, then it is better for Mr. Cousin to come with us, so that we can explain things to the General later."

Bai Shan sat on the horse and smiled: "I didn't expect the relationship between the two families to be so good, but I didn't expect it. How about you guess which one of us is your cousin? You got it right.

, how about he just go back and live with you?"

Liu Huan:……

How could you trick him like this?

The steward also froze, how could he dare to do anything?

These gentlemen are of similar age, and their temperaments are all better than one, you can tell.

By the way, how old is their cousin?

The manager might as well sneak a peek at Guo Zhao and ask the young master to give him a hint.

But how could Guo Zhao help his father do such a thing?

He wished his father would stay away from these people, so he turned his head to the side and ignored him.

The steward broke out in a cold sweat and opened his mouth but could not speak.

Bai Shan snorted and said: "It seems that the relationship between the two families is nothing more than this. In this case, it is even worse for us to bother General Guo. We will live in the city. I think this city is not big, so

It’s easy for the General’s Mansion to find us, right?”

After saying that, he immediately took two steps forward, stared at him and asked him to leave.

The steward went to see Guo Zhao again, and when he saw Guo Zhao frowning, he couldn't help but look forward to it. Who knew that Guo Zhao reprimanded him, "Why don't you get out of the way quickly? Didn't you see that the envoys are going to the city to rest?"

The steward was discouraged and could only move aside with his head hanging down.

However, he didn't dare to just leave it alone. After all the envoys' team entered, he immediately followed them, wanting to see where they lived.

As soon as he caught up with Heavy Rain, he ran over and said to Zhou Man, "People are following behind."

Man Bao nodded indifferently and stared at both sides of the street with interest.

Gaochang, oh no, it’s Xizhou. Xizhou is very lively. There are many stalls and shops on both sides of the street. Unlike the turmoil outside, it seems to be very prosperous. Seeing so many people in their team, many people’s eyes are on them.

It was all stuck to them and the luggage cart behind them.

Steward Li had already led his men to the front, and when they slowly walked to the middle of the street, Steward Li came back, "Master, Miss Man, the young one has made a reservation at the inn next to the inn.

Room, please let the young men stay there for one night first, and then find a place to stay."

Man Bao understood, nodded and followed behind Steward Li.

The post station in Xizhou City is not remote or even simple. It was once a place used by the Gaochang royal family to entertain envoys from various countries, so it is naturally not too bad.

However, because it is not too bad, the rules are larger than those of ordinary inns. It is not a big problem for Zhou Man and the others to move in, but it will be difficult for the soldiers to follow them all.

So Steward Li made a reservation at the nearby inn.

After entering the inn, everyone went to rest separately. Because they had been notified in advance that they would change places to live in the future, their luggage was still in the car. Nie Canjun just let people keep an eye on them and not let anyone get close to them.

Although he now knows that most of these boxes seem to be filled with stones and hay. Not only did he know it, but General Meng Xiao and Guo Zhao also knew it, because when the two armies fought together, the luggage carts basically overturned.

Most of the boxes were okay, but many of the locks were broken during the tumbling. Of course, this does not exclude human factors. At that time, the boxes rolled down, and when they were packed up later, someone quietly pried open many of the locks. Only then did they find that the contents were almost full of stones and stones.
