My harem can't be this messy

Princess Qinghe was a little bit reluctant for Li Zhi to leave so soon, after all, he had only been here for a few days.

However, my ninth younger brother is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty at this time, and it is also a matter of business to go to various vassal states, and it is not easy for Princess Qinghe to stop him.

On the second day, the son-in-law and Princess Qinghe sent Li Zhi and his party out of the Protectorate's Mansion, and they reluctantly watched their ninth brother go away until they couldn't see their backs.

"Okay, Qinghe, don't feel bad anymore, let's go back."

"Ninth Brother has just been here for a few days, and then left again."

"He's His Majesty now, he's busy. Besides, it's not like he won't come back."

"When I came to the Western Regions, I finally had a relative. Qinghe was really reluctant."

Cheng Huailiang patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder, and Princess Qinghe followed her son-in-law back in three steps.

At this time, Li Zhi took his little aunt, Li Wanluluo and a group of escorts. The little aunt and others were riding camels, while Li Zhi was pulling his baby Tuantuan. He was not willing to ride, so he pulled forward.

Originally, Li Zhi, my precious boy, wanted to stay in the Protectorate's Mansion, but this guy insisted on following me, and he didn't want to stay in the Protectorate's Mansion alone, so Li Zhi had to take it with him.

The group followed the Loulan envoys closely, fearing that they would get lost on the road and in the desert.

This is really entering the desert, so there is really only yellow sand in his eyes, Li Zhi can't tell the direction at all, anyway, east, west, north, south, no matter which direction he looks, he can only see the rolling desert, except for sand or sand .

There are occasional trees and water sources on the road. For several days in a row, these Loulan people can find water sources when everyone's drinking water is about to run out. It is like a living map of this desert.

On the fourth day, Li Zhi could already see the city wall in the distance, where the little aunt rode a camel and ran to a sand dune, and shouted to everyone.

Li Wan and Lu Luo hurried up on their camels, and what caught their eyes was an endless blue lake in the distance.

The lake in the desert, the tears of Taklamakan, the gift of God, at this time the largest lake in the Western Regions, Lop Nur.

There, Li Zhi also ran up with Tuan Tuan at this time, seeing the blue lake in the distance, Li Zhi's fatigue of several days was also swept away, and Tuantuan there had already run a few laps on the sand dunes excitedly.

At this time, the wind blows from the direction of Lop Nur, which makes people feel the abundant water vapor, moist and cool.

Everyone moved forward very quickly during this section of the road. When they reached the outside of Loulan City, the King of Loulan had already brought his courtiers to greet them outside the city.

Li Zhi took a look at their attire, and found that it was not much different from the ordinary costumes of countries in the Western Regions. In terms of facial features and skin color, they were similar.Li Zhi was really disappointed, but thinking about it, it was normal. Loulan was originally one of the hundred countries in the Western Regions, and its ethnic costumes were similar to other countries in the Western Regions, which was really normal.

If there is a big difference, there is a problem.

This is probably because the Loulan in Li Zhi's impression is too special. When later generations talk about the Western Regions, they are always the first to think of Loulan. Loulan is an inescapable existence in the Western Regions in people's minds.

This made Loulan stand out from the hundreds of countries in the Western Regions. In fact, the real Loulan is only one of the hundred countries. In terms of economic and military population, it is only the top of the hundred countries.

Li Zhi's eyes wandered around the crowd, wanting to see if there were any Loulan princesses out of the city to greet them, but Li Zhi was disappointed in the result, there were no princesses at all, all of them were men.

"Your Majesty, it is really an honor for our Loulan Kingdom that you have come from a long distance this time to visit Loulan in person."

"King Loulan is being polite. I have long wanted to visit Loulan. In Chang'an, I have heard that Loulan is rich in food, wine, and beauties."

Chapter 654

King Loulan looked at the current Holy Majesty, laughed heartily, and stroked his beard with his hand.

"Fine wine and food are ready for His Majesty in the Palace, Your Majesty, please."

Li Zhi thought that King Loulan would still say that I have a daughter, and that he would personally dance a song for His Majesty at the banquet, but King Loulan didn't say anything at all.

It seems that I was thinking too much. At this time, with Loulan King entering Loulan City, Loulan City is very lively. Compared with Duhu Mansion, the population here seems to be much larger.

Countless people cheered on both sides of the street. There are no flower petals in this season, otherwise it is estimated that many people will sprinkle flower petals to add to the fun.

Li Zhi looked at the cheering crowd and waved to them casually.

Loulan is also a country belonging to the Anxi Protectorate, and the people of Loulan are naturally his people.

After entering the Loulan Palace, it looks extremely luxurious here. It is obvious that the temperature here is much higher than outside. Murong Xueying who followed him took off the fox fur he was wearing. As for Li Wan, Li Zhi didn't know either. Why, this girl doesn't wear fox fur in winter, she insists on being cold and doesn't wear it.

Fortunately, when I was in Chang'an, I specially made two down jackets for Li Wan, and they were still worn inside. Otherwise, Li Zhi would not feel so sorry for bringing her to the Western Regions.

"Your Majesty, what is that animal you brought? Can you stay here? If you go any further, this animal is not suitable for entering."

Li Zhi had already waved to Tuantuan, and Tuantuan obediently ran to Li Zhi's side like a puppy. The huge body lay down, and Li Zhi rubbed its chubby head a few times.

"This is a panda. Since you can't let it enter the palace, please ask King Loulan to feed it here. This guy is not picky and will eat any kind of meat."

King Loulan recruited a few soldiers, Li Zhi said something to Tuantuan, and Tuantuan followed the soldiers and left obediently.

"Your Majesty, the panda you brought is really miraculous, it can understand His Majesty's words."

"Indeed, this guy listens to me the most, and others can't force him to do anything."

The two walked into the palace, which was even more luxurious, with plush carpets everywhere, and blankets hanging on the walls, and in the center of the palace, there was a pool, which was steaming with dense water vapor, and the water vapor was warm. It may be the reason why the Loulan palace is warmer than the outside.

If Li Zhi's guess is correct, there is a hot spring under the palace, which is rich in geothermal energy.

The two sat down in separate positions. Although King Loulan is the king here, he can only be regarded as a courtier in front of Li Zhi. Naturally, the throne belongs to the current Emperor Tang.

There are already waiters delivering wine and meat. Li Zhi naturally likes the delicious wine and meat from the Western Regions, but you who deliver wine and meat, can't you arrange some beautiful Loulan beauties?

Li Zhi's complexion was not good. When he came to Loulan, he just entered the city and met some Loulan women, who looked not very good, and then the ones who greeted him and brought wine and meat were all men, men.

However, Li Zhi still brought a glass of fine wine, and stood up at this time, the girls he brought, the King of Loulan, and all the courtiers of Loulan Kingdom also got up one after another, holding the fine wine, Yuan Yao had a drink with Li Zhi.

"Today's first glass of wine, Ben Wang, welcomes the arrival of the Holy Majesty on behalf of all the subjects of Loulan."

After drinking a glass of wine, Loulan King had already clapped his hands, and Li Zhi was now in high spirits. Is this singing and dancing to add to the fun, his favorite part.

But singing and dancing is indeed singing and dancing to add to the fun, but when a large group of shirtless, strong and fit men with sharp weapons came in, Li Zhi's lips twitched.

Seeing these warriors come in, they shouted a few times, and the loud Loulan Palace trembled.

What is this for, a show of force or a threat of force?

Sitting there, Li Zhi was not affected by the sound, but he was in a bad mood right now.

Welcome to me, but acting like this, let a group of Loulan warriors come to perform the dance, which is somewhat different.

Li Zhi looked at King Loulan, who was happily drinking there at the moment, looking at his own warriors.

Those warriors held their weapons, and with a few loud roars, they had already started to perform, and what they performed was also a dance of killing and evolution on the battlefield.

In Li Zhi's eyes, this was more a show of force than a dance.

Li Zhi took the wine glass, tapped it lightly on the table, and looked at King Loulan. At this moment, he wanted to see what kind of medicine Loulan King was actually selling today.

There, Li Zhi took a look at the girls he had brought with him, the little aunt was drinking and eating meat there heartlessly, so this is still the sons and daughters of the world, are all the sons and daughters of the world so scheming?

It's really a pleasure for you to enjoy the Hongmen Banquet that others obviously set up here.Do you have that much confidence in me?Oh, it should be that my aunt has a lot of confidence in me, that's why she eats so heartlessly!

And Li Wan's complexion was already a little bad. After all, if the girl from the Li family in Zhao County didn't have any scheming, she couldn't justify it.

As for the Di Liguna that I specially brought, this girl probably really didn't have any scheming, pure white like a sheet of raw material, sitting there, eating mutton with a knife.

Li Zhi looked around, and then his eyes continued to fall on those warriors of the Loulan Kingdom. They are really strong, especially the leader, whose exposed arms are so clear.

But if you want to use these threats to scare me, you think too much, just these people, I can't spend half a cup of tea, no, in a few breaths, they can all be slaughtered with bare hands.

If the King of Loulan really has any evil intentions, he doesn't mind performing a bloody show in the Loulan Palace.

Of course, these Loulan warriors are just performing dances, but there is no such good scene in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where everyone rushes to kill or capture the guests who come from afar when the cup falls on the ground at every turn.

If such a drama really happened, today would be fun.

These people stopped dancing, and all the Loulan warriors had left the hall, only the leader Loulan warrior stayed behind.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the strong men from the Central Plains can lift a tripod, and our warriors from Loulan can also lift a tripod."

"Your Majesty, don't be offended. This Gulihan is not very good at speaking, and he is a bit rude."

Li Zhi ignored King Loulan's words, and saw that several warriors from Loulan Kingdom had already lifted a large bronze tripod up with their joint efforts.This tripod was very big, at first glance it was the same size as the several tripods placed in the palace.

Li Zhi's expression changed a few times the moment he saw the cauldron.

The meaning of the tripod in China is very special. In Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of the King of Teng", the home of Zhongming Ding Shi, the tripod here is cooking utensils, but like this kind of big tripod, it is no longer a cooking utensil, but a sacrificial vessel. Such a tripod , in the Central Plains, only the royal family can hold it, and in the Central Plains, Jiuding more symbolizes imperial power.

Chapter 655

At this time, the Loulan Kingdom also cast a tripod, which is a shame.

The corners of Li Zhi's eyes showed a little coldness at this time, and there, Murong Xueying, who had no heart to drink and eat meat, also stopped his movements at this time, and looked at His Majesty quietly.It seems that she is not really heartless, she only knows how to eat meat and drink a lot!

Li Wan also glanced at Li Zhi at this time, just in time to see the fleeting cold light in the corner of Li Zhi's eyes.

Today it is estimated that King Loulan is going to be unlucky, Li Wan is not worried about Li Zhi at all, if there are people in Loulan who can be unfavorable to His Majesty, then he really thinks highly of them.

Li Zhi didn't notice that the moment the cold light appeared in the corner of his eyes, the situation above the Loulan Palace suddenly changed, as if a messy wind swept over here.The situation here is in a mess.

It was something that no one noticed, not even Li Zhi himself.

And there, the Loulan warrior Gu Li yelled at this time, holding the edge of the cauldron with both hands, his waist sank, his arms suddenly exerted force, and the muscles on his arms bulged, like the sand dunes outside Loulan City.

Following Gu Li's second sip, the cauldron had already left the ground, and the third sip, the cauldron was lifted above his head by Gu Li.

His body was already trembling under the huge force of lifting the tripod. He raised the tripod over his head for three moments, and Gu Li could no longer bear it, so he put down the big tripod. The strength of lifting the tripod had already consumed Gu Li. Most of the strength, when the cauldron is released, the natural strength control is not very good, a stone brick on the ground has cracked a hole with a sound, it seems not so perfect.

The huge tripod fell, and there was a lot of applause in the Loulan palace. Of course, it was all from the King of Loulan and his courtiers. Li Zhi applauded a few times symbolically, which was regarded as the recognition of this Loulan warrior.

He wants to see what these people still want to do, and if they come, they will be at ease. Li Zhiyi is a bold person, and he is really not afraid of them doing anything.With more strength, believe it or not, Tuantuan could demolish the Loulan Palace.

"With the power of a tripod, Gu Li heard that there are not many people in the Central Plains who can do it. Is there such a person in Datang now?"

As Gu Li said, he raised his arm, and the iron arm, which was made of steel, tightened violently. The muscles on it visibly trembled, and the bronze-colored skin showed his strength and strength.

If this is released to future generations, rich wives will like it so much.

"Gu Li, bold, how did you talk to His Majesty?"

There, King Loulan had already reprimanded Gu Li angrily, but Li Zhi could naturally hear that King Loulan didn't have any thoughts of blaming himself, a strong man, in his heart at this moment.

Today's release was originally arranged by him.

There, Gu Li heard Loulan King's angry reprimand, but now he snorted disdainfully.

"Your Majesty, does Tang Dynasty have such strong fighters now?"

Gu Li said something again, and the King of Loulan stared at Gu Li with his eyes wide open.

"Gu Li, if you don't kneel down to His Majesty, your unreasonable behavior today has already angered me."

There, Gu Li reluctantly knelt down, but still looked at Li Zhi stubbornly.

Huang Sha wears gold armor in battle, and will not pay back without breaking Loulan.

At this time, Li Zhi finally understood why there were so many sentences about beating and killing Lou Lan in the poems of the Tang people.

To show force, I will let you see what force is.

"Your Majesty, this martial artist is rude. I hope Your Majesty will not care about him like him. This king here apologizes to His Majesty for him."

Li Zhi ignored the hypocrisy of King Loulan, but slowly walked out of his seat and walked towards the cauldron. Gu Li, who was half kneeling on the cauldron, had already got up and watched Li Zhi approaching.

Li Zhi walked to the side of the tripod and looked at the warrior of Loulan Kingdom.

"Did I wake you up?"

"Don't kneel down yet!"

King Loulan shouted, and Gu Li stood stubbornly.

"Gu Li only believes in force!"

Li Zhi smiled and looked at this Loulan man who looked like an iron tower.

"I told you to kneel, you have to kneel!"

Li Zhi's hand casually landed on Gu Li's shoulder, and in an instant, the expression of this iron-clad man changed dramatically.The body that seemed to be made of steel fell short in an instant, and everyone in the Loulan Palace heard only a dull impact, followed by the crisp cracking sound of the stone slab.

At this time, Gu Li was kneeling on the ground with both legs, and the stone slab on the ground was completely shattered with his kneeling.

Everyone in the palace watched this scene in disbelief.

And Gu Li, whose shoulders were seemingly casually pressed by Li Zhi, was as powerful as a storm in his heart.

He really didn't want to kneel, but he had to kneel at this time.

Because His Majesty's hand was lightly placed on his shoulder, and the casual force of that hand made him unable to bear it at all.

King Loulan's expression changed even more at this time, why did Gu Li kneel?And it's both knees. When he saw him before, he only had one knee at most.

King Loulan was not a fool, he could tell that Gu Li didn't want to kneel, but he had to kneel, had to kneel.
