Chapter 453 Wise

Because of his status as an envoy, Shen Bing no longer lived in the earthen house used for house arrest, but replaced it with a more exquisite wooden building.

But in fact, earth houses are more suitable in the Western Regions.

Because the desert area of ​​the Western Regions is characterized by a large temperature difference between day and night, the earth house has better heat insulation, so the day is cool and the night is warm.

The wooden house is the other way around, it is so hot that it can roast people during the day and freeze people to death at night.

This is why people in the Western Regions usually build earthen buildings to live in.

Kucha built this wooden building mainly to entertain foreign envoys.

The use of wooden buildings to entertain envoys is due to the difference in living habits, the higher cost of wooden buildings, and the more important reason is that wooden buildings are not as depressing as earthen buildings...

Except for a few exits of the doors and windows, the rest of the earthen house is full of thick earthen walls. It is like a dungeon, which makes people feel scary and is not suitable for envoys to live in.

The wooden building is much easier. The wooden walls can be smashed open at any time, and it will be easier to escape psychologically.

Shen Bing was placed on the second floor of a wooden building, and drinks, mutton, and even Western Region melons and fruits were always on call. The problem of heat during the day was covered by the third floor, and two extra sheepskins were added for the problem of coldness at night... At this time, the Western Regions It is to use unplucked sheepskin as a quilt, and two pieces of sheepskin are stitched together end to end.

Compared with the quilt, it should be called the animal skin blanket. Although it is not good-looking, it is much better than the catkin and reed quilt commonly used in the Central Plains, and it is easy to carry. can.

According to Princess Wuyou, this is because Shen Bing was an envoy of the Qin army, but envoys from other countries did not enjoy it so much.

The next day, Shen Bing wanted to bring a message to his aunt, so as to save Wang Ben and others from looking everywhere.

But I was suffering from the fact that I was here alone, not to mention that I didn’t have any money with me... In fact, it was useless to bring money. Although Qin Banliang was used uniformly after Qin unified the Central Plains, this thing was not circulated in the Western Regions.

Coupled with the language barrier, it was difficult to find a messenger.

So Shen Bing had to go to Princess Wuyou.

Shen Bing suddenly found that the only one who could help him here seemed to be Princess Wuyou.

However, when Shen Bing followed the maid to the front of Princess Wuyou's room, he heard Princess Wuyou's scolding and the noise of knocking over dishes from inside.

Shen Bing thought, wasn't he fine yesterday?Why is it like this again today!

Women are really fickle, and it's not the right time to come by themselves.

Perhaps it was because of the maid's reminder that after Princess Wuyou lost her temper for a while, she found Shen Bing standing outside the door with hands folded.

Princess Wuyou calmed down, and beckoned Shen Bing to enter the house.

Only recently did Shen Bing realize that Princess Wuyou's eyes were red and she seemed to have cried.

"Princess, this is..."

Sitting in front of the case, Princess Wuyou sniffed, thinking of the grievance, tears fell again, she wiped it secretly and said:

"As the envoy wished, my father ordered me to marry that Qin general."

"Is the envoy satisfied now?"

Shen Bing was stunned for a moment, this turning point was a bit sudden.

It turned out that the more the king of Qiuci went back, the more he thought about it, the more he felt wrong. At the same time, he was unwilling to let the princess marry a soldier of the Qin army.

King Qiuci remembered that when Princess Wuyou went to Loulan, the Qin army was already attacking Gushi.

At that time, although Loulan had the Qin army, but only a small number of infantry remained, and Shen Bing claimed to be a hundred generals of the Qin cavalry army... So at this time, Shen Bing should be attacking the aunt, how could he get to know Princess Wuyou ?

Thinking about it, King Qiuci asked the maid who went to Loulan with Princess Wuyou to ask for details, and the result soon became clear: Princess Wuyou had no contact with Qin Jun at all when she went to Loulan.

Of course, King Kucha would not let it go, and "took" Princess Wuyou back to confront her, so the lies that Princess Wuyou made up before were exposed.

King Kucha, who learned the truth, was not angry but happy.

Because in this way, there is no need to worry about the unclear relationship between Princess Wuyou and the soldiers of the Qin Army, which will be taboo by the General Qin.

King Qiuci originally wanted to propose marriage to General Qin through the envoy Shen Bing.

However, on second thought:

"Although the princess and the envoy are innocent, they seem to love each other."

"Especially last night, the two of them joined forces to seek a 'Quehu Jun' from him..."

Of course, the King of Kucha knew that this was not the idea of ​​General Qin, so how could General Qin care whether an envoy could become a noble in Kucha? !

Therefore, although the envoy is full of talents and talents, he misbehaves. He still thinks about his son and daughter's personal relationship before the state affairs.

If the matter of marriage is entrusted to this envoy, there may be some troubles!

So King Qiuci simply sent envoys to bring businessmen who can speak Central Plains to Gushi to talk about marriage.

If Shen Bing knew this, he would probably cry out for injustice... The matter of begging for "Quehu Jun" has nothing to do with him at all.

But this title suits Shen Bing very well.

Quehu meant to repel the Xiongnu. This may have been the result of King Qiuci thinking about what the Qin army did at the time.

Shen Bing immediately became happy after hearing Princess Wuyou's explanation.

It's really "there is no way out, there is no way out, and there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers".

Originally, it was said that there was no chance to hug the beauty back, but unexpectedly, the King of Kucha made another good deed come true.

Shen Bing praised King Kucha for his wisdom.

Seeing Shen Bing's happy expression, Princess Wuyou gritted her teeth with anger, and said in a hateful voice:

"I want to marry the Great General of Qin, but the envoy is so happy?"

Only then did Shen Bing realize that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly returned to his identity as an envoy, clapping his hands and replying:

"If the princess gets married with the general, there will be no change in the alliance between Qin and Qiuci."

"How can a subordinate be unhappy?"

Princess Wuyou looked at Shen Bing helplessly, and after a while, she asked again:

"Jia Ming, let me ask you, is this princess so unbearable in your eyes?"

Shen Bing asked in puzzlement:

"Why did the princess say that?"

"The subordinates have never underestimated the princess..."

Princess Wuyou shook her head slightly, and after a long sigh of relief, said:

"Forget it, I'll marry that great general!"

"It is said that the general used [-] Qin troops to retreat [-] Huns, he must be a hero!"

Shen Bing nodded his head:

"What the princess said is very true."

Princess Wuyou said again:

"The general who rejected the Xiongnu's internal control of the Western Regions must be extremely talented!"

Shen Bing agreed:

"Of course!"

Princess Wuyou said again:

"What's more, this matter is related to the alliance between Qiuci and Qin, how can I go against the current?"

Shen Bing replied:

"The princess understands righteousness, and my subordinates admire her!"

Princess Wuyou sighed again and said:

"You go!"

"This princess doesn't want to see you again!"

Shen Bing originally wanted to talk about sending the letter, but seeing Princess Wuyou's expression was not right, he finally didn't dare to speak, and retreated after answering.

Shen Bing had just stepped out of the door when he didn't want to hear Princess Wuyou's bitter cry from behind.

Shen Bing was confused for a moment.

Chapter 454

In the next few days, Princess Wuyou really didn't see Shen Bing, even Shen Bing ignored the matter of delivering the letter.

Then Shen Bing thought:

The letter can't be sent out, and it's okay to be here, so why not go back to Gushi!

In fact, Shen Bing didn't feel safe staying here. There were Kucha soldiers all around him. If he was not careful or said something wrong, his head would fall to the ground. It's better to go back to Gushi as soon as possible.

But Princess Carefree replied:

"Father said that there are still many details to be discussed with the envoy about the alliance, and the envoy should stay in Kucha for a few more days."

Shen Bing didn't know whether this was said by King Qiuci or Princess Wuyou made it up... The details of the alliance should be discussed after the general direction is set, okay?Now that the horoscope has not been written, there is no need to discuss the details.

But one thing is for sure, without the permission of Princess Wuyou, Shen Bing couldn't leave.

Because Shen Bing will be followed by ten Kucha guards at any time, they will follow wherever Shen Bing goes, and the leader has a wound on his face... According to Princess Wuyou, this guy was killed by Shen Bing in a desert cave. Feet gasped out.

The words given by Princess Wuyou are:

"This guard wishes you to escape, so that he can take revenge..."

"But he doesn't use his feet like you, but a machete!"

So Shen Bing could only accept his fate, and wait a few days to find an excuse that the general called him back, and then Princess Wuyou would have nothing to do with him.

It was a rare day that Princess Wuyou had someone come to summon Shen Bing.

The wooden building where Shen Bing lived was next to the palace, but it took only a quarter of an hour to arrive in front of the princess' room.

The difference from before is that the door is not as closed as before, and Princess Wuyou is still smiling and waiting for Shen Bing with a group of maids at the door.

She didn't even wait for Shen Bing to come forward to salute, she couldn't wait to greet her, and said:

"I don't know if the messenger has received the news."

"The general has rejected my father's marriage request!"

Shen Bing couldn't help being stunned:

"What? Rejection?"

In the next second, Shen Bing understood.

Shen Bing got lost in the sandstorm and was captured to Kucha. Although Shen Bing knew that he was fine, he couldn't bring out the message... So Qin Jun was in a state of "missing" general.

This is a big deal.

If the general is missing or even died in a sandstorm, the Xiongnu army will be killed and the Western Regions Alliance will be wiped out, or the morale of the Qin army will be damaged and they will not want to fight... Once this chaos occurs, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, Wang Ben and others must not dare to spread the word, they only pretended that the general was still in charge of the aunt, and secretly sent people to look around.

At this time, the King of Kucha sent envoys to his aunt to marry... Qin Jun didn't even know where the general was, and he was afraid that if the marriage would be revealed, he dared to agree, so he could only decline.

Princess Wuyou smiled and nodded, beckoning Shen Bing to enter the room, and said as she walked:

"At this time, the father is angry about this matter!"

"Does the messenger want to explain this matter?"

Shen Bing hurriedly said:

"Princess, please lead the way. This subordinate will go and explain to the king."

Don't want Princess Wuyou to say:

"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain."
