Chapter 647: Princess Pipa Enters the Tent at Night

Looking at Jin Banhua's sincere expression, Princess Pipa turned around and left angrily.

But after she took a few steps, she turned back with a charming look in her eyes, "Lunch is great, are you willing to walk around with me?"

"Of course." Jin Banhua smiled, "I am also quite curious about the Kingdom of Kucha."

Princess Pipa smiled, "What a coincidence! I also know a lot about the history of Qiuci."

So Jin Banhua and Princess Pipa walked into the oasis.

Liao Gang, Ye Jin and Princess Pipa's two maids followed behind them not far away.

Liao Gang and Ye Jin were both mighty and majestic, and the two maids were young and pretty, and they chatted with each other from time to time, so they didn't feel lonely.

"Kucha has a long history. For the Central Plains, the earliest mention of it comes from Ban Gu's "Book of Han", which is more than a thousand years ago." Jin Banhua asked, "Is this Kucha the same as that Kucha?"

Princess Pipa nodded and shook her head, "Yes and no."

"The Kingdom of Kucha has gone through several generations. It grew and prospered under the rule of the Han Dynasty and lasted for hundreds of years. After that, it declined and was conquered by the Central Plains, grassland and plateau empires in turn, as well as invasions from the West."

Princess Pipa said quietly, "Kucha was nearly destroyed many times, but the four great powers fought against each other and won and lost. The Western Regions countries served as a buffer between the great powers, and the environment became increasingly harsh, so they restored their country many times and finally survived.

It is reasonable to say that this Qiuci is the same Qiuci, but the thousand-year-old heritage has indeed been lost in the flames of war, and today's Qiuci has long lost its former glory."

Jin Banhua nodded calmly, "It seems that the Kucha Kingdom is still quite tough. If so, you will probably be safe this time. No wonder you are so confident."

Princess Pipa was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "Although the Kingdom of Kucha lasted for more than a thousand years, the royal family of Kucha has changed countless times."

Jin Banhua smiled and said, "Just like the new king of Kucha today, Kucha is still Kucha, but the king of Kucha has changed."

"Yes." Princess Pipa sighed.

"I understand, but it's nothing. It was the same with the Central Plains dynasties. The royal family changed several times during the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. Just be more open-minded." Jin Banhua comforted.

Princess Pipa gritted her teeth and asked faintly, "What happened to those people from the old royal family?"

Jin Banhua stroked his chin, "Either they were all killed, or they hid their identities and fled to the civilian world, right?"

The atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.

Jin Banhua comforted Princess Pipa and said, "Why don't you settle down in Longxi or Guanzhong?"

Princess Pipa said angrily, "I am the Princess of Kucha. Even if I die, I will die in the desert!"

"Your courage is commendable, but the dead cannot be resurrected. Would you like to reconsider this?" Jin Banhua asked, "If the other party has an absolute advantage, your best option is to make a strategic shift."

Princess Pipa couldn't help but feel deflated, "You really are here to watch the fun."

Jin Banhua smiled and said, "I'm just here to watch the fun. I have a family and a business in Beijing, I don't have to worry about food and drink, and I'm financially independent. Am I really going to come to your house to make money and work hard?"

Facing Jin Banhua's teasing eyes, Princess Pipa turned her eyes, smiled charmingly, and asked, "What if it's not just about making money?"

Jin Banhua waved her hands, "If you can't even make money, then isn't it even less attractive?"

Princess Pipa was furious, "Do you love money so much?"

"That's not all." Jin Banhua waved her hands and said, "I have many hobbies. I also love martial arts, gems and jades, fine wine, famous swords, and peerless beauties..." Jin Banhua stroked his chin, "I love daughters of aristocratic families, famous ladies, palace masters of holy places, witches of demon sects, and sweet sisters who travel the world..."

Princess Pipa narrowed her eyes slightly, "I didn't expect you love so many people."

"Who made me so wealthy, so skilled in martial arts, so handsome, so generous, and so smart?" Jin Banhua said proudly, "Which woman can refuse me?"

The two maids covered their mouths and chuckled, while Liao Gang and Ye Jin lowered their heads.

"Take you for example." Jin Banhua pointed at Princess Pipa.

Princess Pipa was dumbfounded and her face slightly blushed, but she still asked angrily, "Do I have to like you too?"

Jin Banhua nodded, "My family is very wealthy, and I can take out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at any time to raise 3,000 cavalry for the King of Kucha, and invite more than a dozen famous masters from the northern martial arts world to come and help."

Princess Pipa: ()
"My family also has connections in the officialdom. We can form a caravan, leave Zhangjiakou, go through the grasslands and into the desert, trade in Qiuci and other countries in the Western Regions, and make Qiuci the trade center of the Western Regions." Jin Banhua continued.

Princess Pipa: (°ー°〃)
Jin Banhua pointed at herself and said, "My martial arts and swordsmanship have been taught by dozens of masters. I am either the best or the top three in the world. Even if I can't face the charge of thousands of troops, it is as easy as taking something out of a bag to take the top general among the three armies."

Princess Pipa: (*°ω°*)
Jin Banhua swaggered forward and said, "If I ask the King of Kucha to marry me, do you think your father would tie you up and throw you on my bed that night?"

Princess Pipa's heart was pounding, but she still maintained her anger in her tone, "My father is not that kind of person!"

Jin Banhua nodded, "I believe it, so I won't propose marriage, don't worry."

"You!" Princess Pipa's chest was heaving and her face was red. She looked very angry, but she still followed Jin Banhua's footsteps.

"By the way, where is the Kingdom of Kucha?" asked Jin Banhua.

Princess Pipa's eyes flashed, "Are you going?"

"Yes, it's not easy to come to the desert, of course I have to see the exotic scenery." Jin Banhua said, "Kucha is a big country in the Western Regions, and its style is unique. Let's go and see it now."

Princess Pipa couldn't help but ask, "When are you going to go?"

"It depends on my mood. There is no such thing as a sure thing." Jin Banhua said leisurely, "Maybe after some time, maybe..."

Princess Pipa pursed her lips and said nothing.

……

The two men strolled at the edge of the oasis for half a day, and then they met the servants of the King of Kucha who invited them to have dinner.

Du Huan, who had just detoxified himself, did not show up. Instead, Situ Liuxing and the Wu brothers were all holding Jin Banhua and talking to her. This made Jin Banhua feel as if she had returned to the time when she was the center of attention at Jinan Kuaiyitang.

After dinner, it quickly got dark and the moonlight was so bright that the entire desert was illuminated in silver light.

Jin Banhua lived in a tent alone, while Liao Gang and Ye Jin lived in the tent next to him.

Jin Banhua had just fallen asleep for a short while, and when the moonlight could only shine a little bit through the gap in the tent, the tent curtain was suddenly lifted to one side.

The moonlight flickered and could only illuminate a flickering black shadow.

The next moment, the gorgeous and exquisite gauze skirt fell to the ground, and a mermaid from the desert crawled into Jinbanhua's bed.
