The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 139 The divine light shines on the sky and the earth, when the green sun rises!
The magnificent and majestic Chang'an Palace looks even more majestic and solemn under the setting sun, just like a celestial palace stretching across the heaven and earth.

The huge Weiyang Palace has a series of palaces. In one palace, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sat on the main seat, with two ministers sitting on the left and right.

They are Dong Zhongshu and Zhang Qian respectively.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che said that he did not want to depose all schools of thought and only respect Confucianism, Dong Zhongshu showed disappointment on his face, but he did not give up.

Because the Confucian way is the most suitable way to govern the country today for the Han Dynasty. Although the Han Dynasty used Huang Lao's way and governed by doing nothing, this was only a temporary measure!
Dong Zhongshu understood this deeply, so he was so determined.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che didn't know what Dong Zhongshu was thinking. Even if he knew, he would smile slightly and not take it to heart.

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked at Zhang Qian standing aside and said solemnly: "I plan to have you officially set off for the Western Regions in three days. I wonder if you are ready?"

"My lord, you can go at any time!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qian quickly stood up, bowed his head, and said this.

"good!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che nodded and looked at Zhang Qian with admiration, then showed disappointment.

Zhang Qian has great talent, he only knows it now, but he has already recommended himself to go to the Western Regions, and I am afraid that there will be bad luck there!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che also understood.

…………

Three days passed by in a flash. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che sent Zhang Qian off as an envoy in front of the Weiyang Palace. However, there were no other ministers in front of the palace to see him off.

There were only two Emperors of Han Dynasty, Liu Che and Zhang Qian, and the rest were protected by their entourage.

"I hope you will cherish your visit this time!"

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, looked at Zhang Qian and saw that Zhang Qian was wearing gorgeous Hanfu. He said respectfully: "I will definitely live up to your trust when I go!"

"good!"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che immediately took the Great Han Talisman Festival from the waiter on the side, then held it in his hand and said: "This is the Great Han Talisman Festival. Holding this Talisman Festival represents the power of the Han Dynasty. Holding this Talisman Festival feels like I am here in person. I hope you will cherish it!" "

"only!"

Zhang Qian immediately raised his hands, raised his head over his head, and respectfully took the talisman into his hands. Then he held the talisman in his right hand with great care. He saw that the talisman was a wooden foot. On top of the wooden foot, there was a string of necklaces, and there was a copper bell on top of the necklace. Hanging, it emits a crisp and pleasant ringing tone.

Around him, waiters and maids in gorgeous Chinese clothes stood respectfully, while under His Majesty Dan in the palace, more than a hundred soldiers in armor were seen standing.

With swords on their waists and guns in their hands, they all stood silently, one on top of the other.

Their bodies were full of murderous aura, and their blood was boiling. It was obvious that they were all veterans in the army and had experienced bloody battles.

But at this moment, they all become Zhang Qian's escorts on his mission to the Western Regions, and they will all obey Zhang Qian's orders.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che saw Zhang Qian taking the Han Talisman Festival, and immediately motioned Zhang Qian to follow him, then stood on the tall Danbi and looked at the nearly a hundred soldiers below:
"Commanders, Zhang Qian is the person I have high hopes for and is sent as an envoy to the Western Regions. His order is to go to the Western Regions, contact the country of the Western Regions, the Yuezhi, and conspire to attack the Xiongnu Alliance!"

"The Xiongnu's problem is the Han Dynasty's disease, which must be eliminated!"

"This trip to the Western Regions, all officers and men will obey Zhang Qian's orders and protect Zhang Qian's safety as the top priority!"

After hearing the words of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers below all knelt on one knee and said respectfully: "I obey your Majesty's order!"

Immediately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che looked aside and saw a man wearing Xiongnu costumes standing nearby. His appearance had the characteristics of a Xiongnu.

"This is Tang Yifu, a Huns. During the journey, he can be a guide and translator. When necessary, he can escape from danger to a certain extent!"

Tang Yi's father immediately stepped forward and saluted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che and Zhang Qian, "I've seen the waiter!"

His Chinese is not standard.

Zhang Qian also nodded.

Just when Zhang Qian turned his head and carefully counted the nearly a hundred soldiers behind him, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and his expression suddenly changed.

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was on the side, had been paying attention to Zhang Qian's face. Seeing this, he asked, "What's wrong with Aiqing?"

Then, following Zhang Qian's gaze, he looked among the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, this man is my younger brother. I never thought that he would go to the Western Regions with me..."

That's right, it was the companion who had been drinking with him before and who had been taken out of the mountain village by him.

"Er Ti, didn't we already agree that you should stay in Chang'an..."

Zhang Qian came to Er Ti and asked.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che watched quietly without disturbing him.

"Brother, I have been very kind to Erti. How can I watch my brother go into danger like this? Therefore, I am willing to go with you!"

Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, naturally knew about the incident between Zhang Qian and Er Ti. He also knew that Er Ti was among the soldiers heading to the Western Regions.

But it didn’t stop him!

Naturally, Zhang Qian couldn't decide on Er Ti's decision. After all, he had already entered the ranks of the envoys and it was naturally impossible for him to withdraw.

……

The breeze whistled, Zhang Qian led a team of nearly a hundred envoys, and slowly left Chang'an Palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che personally saw them off and watched the team led by Zhang Qian slowly disappear between the palaces and pavilions until they were invisible.

The people in Chang'an City were not aware of what happened. Even if they knew, they would not take it to heart. After all, they were just an envoy team, so what did it have to do with themselves?

It just adds a few topics to talk about and enriches our after-dinner life.

However, they did not know that Zhang Qian's trip would have a profound impact on the future generations of China, and even affect the future of China in all aspects...

…………

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"..."

Zhang Qian sat on the horse, held Fu Jie in his arms, and escaped quickly under the protection of Er Ti.

The yellow sand is flying, and behind you is the rumble of horse hooves, like war drums in the sky, resonating with the heart in your chest.

Zhang Qian could even hear his heavy breathing, whistling like a strong wind in his ears.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly an arrow suddenly shot from behind, and Er Ti pinned Zhang Qian on the horse's back, barely dodging it.

Behind him, he saw soldiers wearing Han armor fighting with the Huns.The Xiongnu held long knives or bows and arrows, and ran and fought with the Han soldiers.

It had been one month since they left Chang'an City, and the envoy to the Western Regions had just left the country of the Han Dynasty and entered the Western Regions controlled by the Huns.

Just when Zhang Qian was careful and praying not to be noticed by the Huns, this group of Huns cavalry appeared the next moment.

Nearly a hundred soldiers accompanying them fought with the Huns, but there were more Huns and they fought with each other. Before long, a large number of Han soldiers fell on the Gobi Desert.

Seeing this, Zhang Qian and Er Ti knew that the situation was over and could only leave quickly while the Han soldiers were fighting the Huns.

"Brother, take the talisman and leave quickly. I will cut off the queen for my brother!"

The two of them were riding in front of their horses. Erti glanced back at the Huns who were about to catch up. He immediately looked serious and said to Zhang Qian,

"Erti..."

Zhang Qian didn't know what to say, so he could only take a deep look at Er Ti, and then left with the horse.

However, a group of Hun cavalry appeared in front of them again and gradually surrounded the two men.

"..."

Seeing this, both of them were silent.He never thought that he would be discovered by the Huns just after leaving the Han Dynasty, and now he would be killed by the Huns.

At this moment, there are only three people left in the envoy team, Zhang Qian, Er Ti and the guide and translator Tang Yifu!
The Huns were riding on their war horses, circling around the three men, as if they were looking for a flaw to kill them all in one fell swoop.

"Brother, I never thought that the two of us would really die together..."

Erti looks like he is in his 20s, when he is strong. At this time, he is wearing the mighty armor of the Han army. The red armor complements the blood splashed on the armor.

Zhang Qian, on the other hand, was dressed in gorgeous Hanfu, but he looked a little embarrassed due to his January trip.

As for Tang Yifu, he was dressed in Hanfu, which was somewhat inconsistent with his Xiongnu temperament and looked a bit nondescript.

"The Great Han Talisman Festival cannot be insulted and should be protected..."

Zhang Qian suddenly fell silent, and then he untied the talisman from the stick and put it into his arms carefully. Then he pulled out the sword from his waist and faced the Huns with Er Ti.

Among the Huns, some people shouted loudly, but they didn't know what they were talking about.But the next moment, several more Huns rushed over quickly and slashed at the two men with their swords.

The two men quickly raised their swords to meet each other.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

The sound of swords clashing echoed quickly. Zhang Qian was already very skilled in martial arts and served as the palace guard in Chang'an Palace.

Even Er Ti, who worked hard in the army, was not as good as Zhang Qian in martial arts, but Zhang Qian didn't show it off on weekdays.

At this critical moment, Zhang Qian dodged the Huns' short sword, and then swung his sword again, slashing directly on the Huns' north back!

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, blood splattered, and the Huns fell off their horses in pain, falling to the ground and wailing.

However, before he could stand up, the war horse's hooves came again and trampled directly on his chest.

On the other side, Erti waved his sword to resist the Huns' attack and returned to Zhang Qian's side again.

Zhang Qian's face was solemn. When Er Ti saw this, his face showed admiration, and then it was covered with seriousness.

Tang Yi's father watched quietly from the side, kneeling on his knees, looking surrendered.

He was a Huns. Zhang Qian and Er Ti didn't say much about this.

Seeing Zhang Qian kill one person easily, the Huns were furious. A group of Huns were angry and wanted to kill Zhang Qian together, but they were stopped by the leader of the Huns.

He stepped forward to mount his horse and quietly looked down at the bloody Zhang Qian and Er Ti. Then he looked sharply at Tang Yifu beside him and uttered a series of incomprehensible words.

Tang Yi's father was trembling, then turned to look at Zhang Qian, and then said: "He said that he had recognized the envoy as the envoy of the Han Emperor. Therefore, he did not want to kill the envoy, but wanted to dedicate the envoy to Morton Chanyu!"

"Moton Shanyu?!"

When the two heard this, their faces suddenly froze. If they sacrificed themselves to Morton Chanyu, they might not know when they would be able to set off again to the Western Region.

Even life is at risk!
Zhang Qian and Er Ti looked at each other, and both saw firmness in each other's eyes.

The royal court of the Huns must be heavily guarded. It will be difficult to leave after this!
Therefore, he must not be caught by the Huns and escorted to the royal court of the Huns.

"Brother, after a while, I held them, and brother immediately went east, temporarily avoiding the Huns, and returned to the Han border town!"

Er Ti said this in Zhang Qian's ear.

"Brother, don't say anything, your Majesty's order is most important!"

Er Ti saw Zhang Qian about to speak out and objected, so he said so directly.

Zhang Qian was speechless and could only nod silently, Your Majesty's life is the most important thing!

"kill!"

Just when the Huns thought that the two men were about to be captured, Erti immediately rode his horse to attack and beheaded one of the Huns directly off his horse.

On the other side, Zhang Qian immediately galloped in the opposite direction without looking back.

"Kill it!"

The Xiongnu leader was furious and felt that his majesty had been offended. He immediately ordered the Han people who suddenly made a move in front of him to be killed.

At the same time, he looked at the other Han who had already run away, and immediately led a few Huns cavalry to catch up quickly.

"Divine Bird! Please help me from the Divine Bird!"

Zhang Qian, who ran away quickly, was angry but helpless. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Erti, who was still fighting the Huns behind him, shouting angrily in his heart.

At the same time, I also saw several Hun cavalry chasing after me, and I was shocked.

"I can't die here. I still bear His Majesty's orders. I am willing to fulfill His Majesty's orders and die without any regrets!"

Zhang Qian gritted his teeth.

Bai Zhi, who was hidden in Zhang Qian's body, was naturally paying attention to the situation at this time. Bai Zhi would definitely not stand by and watch. If he didn't want the incident of Young Master Fusu to happen again, he was already ready to take action.

Ahead, the Han border town was already in sight, and even on the tall city wall, the red flag of the Han Dynasty could be seen flapping in the cold wind.

The general of the border town saw the scene outside the city, and saw several Huns cavalry chasing Yiqi. At the same time, he could see that the man being chased was wearing Hanfu!

"Send troops quickly to rescue him!"

The general on the city wall quickly ordered. He thought of the Han envoy who had just passed through the city and was sent to the Western Regions by His Majesty's order.

I never thought that within half a day, we would see each other again.

Only this time when they met again, they were hunted down by the Huns!

At the same time, he admired him even more. When he talked with Zhang Qian, he knew that there were tigers in the mountains and went to the tiger mountains. How brave he was!
Watching a large number of Han cavalry rush out of the city quickly to meet Zhang Qian in the distance.

However, it was still a step too late. Several Huns cavalry were already in front of them and were about to catch up with Zhang Qian!
However, at this critical moment, an accident suddenly happened.

But on the dark earth, the Gobi Desert stretches for thousands of miles, and the dim sky shows desolation.

The gloomy sky covers the earth, making people feel depressed.

At this moment, a new sun seemed to suddenly appear on the earth, shining brightly as if the sun had fallen to the ground.

However, the light of this sun is green, and the whole world is reflected in a green light, as if falling into the green world.

However, this dazzling green light actually emanated from Zhang Qian's body!
"When did it happen?!"

"my eyes?!"

"it hurts……"

"..."

The nearest Huns were immediately blinded by the dazzling green light, and red blood oozed out.

He placed his hands ferociously in front of his eyes, not daring to touch them.

At the same time, the horses neighed, and the same thing happened.

"What happened?!"

Above the Han town, General Han saw the green light emitting in front of him, his expression suddenly changed, he was dumbfounded, he didn't know what was happening.

But one thing he was sure of was that the green light was emanating from Zhang Qian!
At the same time, as the protagonist, Zhang Qian only felt that this green light was so gentle, as if the whole person was wrapped in a hot spring, making people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

The next moment, a shadow of a divine bird quickly flew into the sky...
