Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 150 What's Your Name?Wang Xuance?
"Well, good. It's getting late, let's go now."

Li Cha came back to his senses, nodded and agreed.

Under the leadership of General Liu Jian, the two of them didn't sit for any inspection, and the guards let them go.

As the top general guarding Yumen Pass and the entire Guazhou City, he still has this privilege.

"Old Liu, let's go first. When will I come back, and I'll have a drink with you."

Li Cha waved his hand and said to Liu Jian.

"Uncle Liu, take your leave. Hongxiu will visit Uncle Liu again when he has time."

Compared to Li Cha's casualness, Duan Hongxiu appeared to be legitimate.

After leaving Yumen Pass, Li Cha and Duan Hongxiu also rested enough in Zhechong Mansion in Guazhou City, got on their horses and galloped.

The two raced horses on the post road.Surpassed the caravans that had left Yumen Pass one after another.

On both sides of the post road is the boundless Gobi and desert.The merchants drove their camels slowly in the desert.

Looking at the two riders on the post road, handsome men and beautiful women, there is envy in their eyes.

Because the post road from Yumenguan to Yiwu is allowed to be used by merchants' camel caravans.

This post road leading to the depths of the Western Regions can only be used by the Tang army, military messengers, people in the court and envoys from various countries.

This is an express rule.

The reason for this regulation was not that Tang Dynasty looked down on merchants, but that once there was an urgent matter, a large number of caravans would walk on the post road to avoid the rush, which would delay the real event.

Even the delay of the military plane is not something these businessmen can afford.

All caravans doing business in the Western Regions know this.This is why their caravans are all camel caravans rather than horse caravans.

In three days, Li Cha and Duan Hongxiu had already passed the Gobi desert, and there was an oasis and grassland in front of them.

There is terrible lack of food and water in the desert.And the terrible wolves on the grassland.

So at night, the various caravans will ignite fires, and the caravans will not approach or stay away.Maintain a safe distance that can guard against each other and help each other.

During the three days from Yumenguan to Yiwu, Li Cha found that his wife liked to go to the caravan when she was free, and listened to the passing businessmen tell her some humanistic stories about the countries of the Western Regions.

On the prairie just after nightfall, Li Cha took care of a wild goat on the one hand, and took care of the other on the firepit on the other hand.Keep it from getting burnt.

Why two wild goats?Can Li Cha and Duan Hongxiu eat enough?The answer is of course not.

Things have to start when we first arrived at this grassland in the afternoon.

When the sun was about to set, Li Cha decided to pitch a tent at this place tonight.

Tired of dry food, Li Cha took Duan Hongxiu to look for game on the grassland.That's why Li Cha had prepared those seasonings in his backpack.

The sound of camels, the neighing of horses, and the shouts of merchants.Plus the laughter of Li Cha and Duan Hongxiu chasing their prey.It completely broke the silence on this vast grassland.

When Li Cha shot through the head of a wild goat with an arrow, he turned to call his beloved wife to go back and roast the whole goat.

But he saw his beloved wife reached out and pulled out a mace arrow from his quiver, saying, "Husband, give me the bow."

"What do you want the bow for? Husband guarantees that it will be completely dead. Why? You still don't believe in your husband's skills?"

Li Cha said with a smile.However, the bow in his hand was also handed over to Duan Hongxiu.

"No, husband, look over there. There are a lot of people in that caravan, and one sheep is definitely not enough to eat. Anyway, one sheep is roasted, and two sheep are also roasted. Husband, please work hard."

"Everyone hasn't eaten any meat for so many days, and they must have been tired of eating dry food. There are children among them. If there is no other way, who would like to take children to go shopping. We have the ability to Please help me."

Duan Hongxiu pouted in the direction of the tent they set up and said.

Li Cha took a closer look, smiled and nodded.He liked this kindness of his wife very much.It is not bad to be a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering, but to be an ordinary person who is willing to help others.

Duan Hongxiu is worthy of being an all-round talent in civil and military affairs that even Li Cha would praise.

When another wild goat appeared in the line of sight of the two of them, with the sound of an arrow, a spiked arrow precisely penetrated into the neck of the wild goat.

Although it doesn't have the power of Li Cha to penetrate the head of a wild goat, but it is better than Li Cha in terms of precision.

The wild goat didn't take a few steps, then lay down in the grass, motionless.

The two picked up the two dead wild goats, laughed and returned to the tent that had already been set up.

Li Cha was in charge of tidying up the wild goats, while Duan Hongxiu was in charge of collecting firewood and lighting the fire.

As the first wild goat was roasted on the rack, the rich aroma spread around.

There were three children not far away, staring straight at the wild goat that was covered in oil, swallowing their saliva non-stop.

Duan Hongxiu naturally saw it too.Smile and wave to them to come over.

But the three children turned around and ran towards their caravan as if they were frightened.

Duan Hongxiu smiled and shook his head.The child is not old, but his vigilance is not small.Are you that bad guy?

Not long after, Li Cha finished tidying up the other wild goat, and put it on another rack that had already been set up, sparking a fire, and the two goats were roasted together.

Duan Hongxiu watched his Ailang's every move with eyes full of love.He didn't move, but his thoughts didn't know where to go.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the outer layer of mutton of the first wild goat was already cooked. Li Cha carefully sprinkled spices and peppers.

"Hongxiu, what are you thinking? You can eat."

Li Cha looked at his beloved wife who was staring at his thoughts with a sweet smile but didn't know where he flew, and reminded with a smile.

Duan Hongxiu smiled sweetly, came back to his senses, pulled out the golden dagger, and expertly sliced ​​the overripe mutton sprinkled with seasonings.

For two people, you have one bite, and I have one bite, and you have a bite and I have a bite. It's a joy to eat.

After a while, the outer layer of mutton was almost eaten by the two of them.

Duan Hongxiu patted his stomach lightly, and said with satisfaction: "Quan Datang, how many women can eat lamb roasted by their own husband? Hongxiu is so happy. I don't know when I can get it again next time." Then eat the mutton roasted by your husband."

"Hehe, as long as Hongxiu likes to eat, after my husband is done with Tang's business, I can bake it for Hongxiu every day. It will last forever."

Li Cha's eyes were full of doting, and he replied with a smile.

"It's full, it's delicious, it's so full. Husband, please work harder, and I'll go greet the people in the caravan."

Duan Hongxiu didn't answer Li Cha's words, but stood up and said with a smile.

Li Cha nodded.While roasting the wild goat with a smile, he looked at Duan Hongxiu who was communicating with the businessman not far away.With such a kind life partner, Li Cha felt very satisfied.

After a while, Li Cha saw Duan Hongxiu leading more than twenty people walking towards this side, holding a six or seven year old child in each hand.He looked at them lovingly.

Seeing Duan Hongxiu's expression, Li Cha immediately felt guilty.He secretly decided in his heart that he must make up for Duan Hongxiu for the rest of his life.

While Duan Hongxiu was leading them towards him, Li Cha took a serious look at the twenty or so people.

According to their attire, words and deeds, Li Cha found that they were different from ordinary caravans.

Where are there people who go out to do business and bring their families.Although the current Datang cannot be said to be a complete country and the people are peaceful, orphans and widows are not unable to survive at home.It is much safer than taking it with you to the Western Regions.

In addition, the ones left to guard the goods are more like guards they hired.This shows that this family is not like an ordinary merchant's house.

"My old man, Wang Tianlun, would like to thank my friend for his hospitality in advance, and please trouble this friend. Only a friend who is so kind and willing to help others can be blessed to marry such a beautiful and wise wife."

When a group of people approached, Wang Tianlun, who was in his forties, first bowed his hands to thank Li Cha.

Hearing Wang Tianlun's words, he was no ordinary old farmer without education.One sentence not only praised Li Cha, but also praised Duan Hongxiu.

"Hello, Brother Wang, my name is Li Cha. There is nothing to thank. My wife felt pity when she saw that there were children in your caravan. So she killed an extra sheep and compensated for the nutrition of the children. Our You can't hurt your children when you go out."

Li Cha was very happy when his wife was praised, and replied with a smile.

"This wild goat is ready to eat now. I'll roast the other one. You are welcome, you are welcome. Hongxiu, greet your guests."

Li Cha greeted everyone.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, husband. You don't have to worry about us, and you can roast your sheep with peace of mind."

Duan Hongxiu smiled and said to Li Cha while teasing the three children around him.

Li Cha smiled, and didn't care about them anymore, he concentrated on roasting the wild goat by himself.

Wang Tianlun and the others saw that Li Cha was so forthright, so they let go of the same boldness, and started to do it themselves.

While Duan Hongxiu skillfully sliced ​​the mutton and fed it to the three children around him, he began to ask Wang Tianlun and the others about the Western Regions.

Especially the customs and customs of some areas after Gaochang, as well as the route.And for these, Li Cha has long been used to it.

This is not the first time.As long as the two stopped, Duan Hongxiu would go to the nearby caravan and listen to their interesting stories about the Western Regions.

After a while, Li Cha roasted the wild goat in front of him until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Li Cha stopped what he was doing and joined the discussion.

"Brother Wang, you don't look like helpless businessmen forced by life. How could you take such a young child on this road to the Western Regions?"

Li Cha asked the question in his heart.

"Haha, Brother Li. My brother is from Luoyang, and our family does not lack this money. However, my brother thinks that it is better for children, especially boys, to see more of the world. And the sooner the better." .”

"Like my eldest son Xuan Ce, I not only taught him to read and write since he was a child. And whenever I had the opportunity, I would take him to travel far and wide. Exercise his insight and courage."

"Now, my eldest son is about to go to Beijing to take the exam. I believe he will be better than me as a father."

Wang Tianlun looked at a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy and said proudly.

"Yeah, brother, you're right. It's a good thing for the children to gain experience earlier. It's just that the road to the Western Regions..."

"Hey, wait. Xuance? Your name is Wang Xuance?"

Li Cha hadn't finished his last sentence of persuasion, and suddenly felt a little messed up in his head...

　The next chapter comes a little later.All judges, please forgive me...
