At the end of the fourth lunar month, the second uncle of the Bai family from Chang'an City wrote a letter to Luo Yong.

The letter said that most of the officials in the court supported the construction of wooden tracks, but in recent years, there have been many wars and many cement roads have been built. The saints pity the people. I am afraid that they will have to wait a little longer on the wooden track.

He also said that Si Niang Wulang Liulang Qiniang are all at peace. Wulang has grown very fast recently and is taller than Si Niang in a blink of an eye. Liulang Qiniang is also fast. Both the siblings and brothers are very sensible. Si Niang also manages groceries in a very good manner. At a young age, it is really rare.

At the end of this letter, the second uncle of Bai mentioned Luo Yong another major event that happened in Chang'an City at the end of last year to the beginning of this year. The original crown prince was deposed and the King of Jin Li Zhi was enthroned as the crown prince.

Regarding this matter, Uncle Bai Er used his words very concisely, he spoke vaguely, and his attitude was very cautious.

Hexi is quite far from Chang'an City, and the news is not very well-informed. In addition to the rebellion of the prince, the court will not make a big announcement to the world. At this time, except for some well-informed family members, leaving Chang'an City, few people are afraid that they know about this.

Although Luo Yong knew that there was such a thing in history early in the morning, he was only sure that this incident happened after receiving this letter from Uncle Bai Er. It did not change anything because of his actions in this era.

Luo Yong knew that the facts were much worse than these few words on the letter paper.

According to historical records, the reason why the rebellion case of Crown Prince Li Chengqian was exposed was because of the King of Qi Li You. Li You was very ridiculous. The emperor asked Quan Wanji to discipline him. As a result, Li You killed Quan Wanji in anger. Later, he was afraid that his son would pursue it, so he decided to rebel without stopping.

The rebellion was quickly quelled. In the end, when the court arrested the guilty person, he implicated a man named Hegan Chengji in the palace of Prince Li Chengqi. In order to save his life, Hegan Chengji exposed the prince's rebellion case.

Two sons rebelled one after another, one son killed and the other exiled. Even the King of Wei Li Tai, who was originally favored by the emperor, was driven out of Chang'an City together.

After this incident, the emperor was seriously injured. Although it also hit the forces that had previously surrounded Li Chengqian and Li Tai, it was his own son after all. The only one who had three sons born to him by Empress Changsun was left with Li Zhi.

At this critical moment, Li Shimin really didn't have much energy to fight wits and courage with others. He now takes Li Zhi by his side every day, for fear that he would give others another opportunity to take advantage of the situation. This son would be provoked and instigated, causing the father and son to be inseparable.

Even Luo used the blueprint for the Western Regions to manage the country by Tang Jian and others, it seemed difficult to arouse the enthusiasm and ambitions in the heart of this middle-aged emperor for a while. He is really too tired now.

The debate about laying wooden tracks was like a sudden gust of wind, but the gust of wind passed and it also passed, leaving no result.

As of now, the opposition has achieved a temporary victory, but this is only temporary. As long as those who support the wood repair track have not completely given up, this plan will be brought up again one day...

Luo Yong closed the letter, thought for a while, but took the scythe from his waist, lit an oil lamp on the table, and burned the letter in his hand.

Although the speech was relatively free in the Zhenguan period, those who were officials in the court were still careful in everything, and they were afraid of attacks from hostile forces.

After burning the letter, Luo Yong walked out of the county government. The weather has warmed up in the past two days, but the wind and sand have been strong. It has been nearly two months since Qiao Junlin and the others left. I don’t know where they were at this time, whether they were in Yizhou or had already gone to Gaochang.

Luo Yong went up the city wall all the way, remembering that he had talked to Uncle Bai earlier:

"I have a close relationship with the eldest son of Duke Cai. I don't know when I will return it when I go to Hoxi. If my friend encounters something difficult during this period, if Uncle Bai can help, please help me."

He said this vaguely at that time. In a blink of an eye, so long has passed. I wonder if Uncle Bai still remembers it. Even if he remembers it, whether he dares to help him again.

To save Du Gou at that critical moment, it is like taking a chestnut from the fire, which can be burned at the least, and at the worst, it can cause the fire to burn the body.

Luo Yong stood on the high city wall, and looked around and was covered in gray.

In this backward and desolate era, it was already difficult for humans to survive in this world, but the cruelty of the struggle between people is even thousands of times greater than that of later generations.

Once the laying of wooden tracks is put on hold, I don’t know how long it will take to wait. What Luo Yong is more concerned about now is the food problem in the Hexi area.

A few years ago, he asked Apu to take two sweet potatoes back to the Nile River, hoping that he could bring his tribe and sweet potatoes back again. In this way, not only can sweet potatoes appear naturally in this world, but Apu and his tribes can also be protected by the Tang Dynasty.

Just look at the vast world in front of you. This desolate world is full of dangers. Even if you are both humans, you will treat them as slaves and rare beasts. Under such a lot of crises, can they really come back alive?

Or, in fact, they have disappeared quietly between this vast world like the dust in front of them...

What Luo Yong didn't know was that just a few days ago, Qiao Junlin and others met a caravan coming from Gaochang in a small town on the border of Yizhou.

I heard from the caravan that a group of Kunlun slaves came from Gaochang City recently, saying that they wanted to offer grain to Tian Khan. However, as soon as they arrived in Gaochang City, the old leaders among the Kunlun slaves were not good. At this time, they were in Gaochang City. They were afraid that they would have to wait until the old leader's funeral was completed before they could set off.

When Qiao Junlin and others heard about this, they hurried to Gaochang City. When they arrived at Gaochang City, the monks in the city were performing rituals for Apu's father.

This tribe leader, who was born and raised on the Nile River, had to lead his tribe members to migrate when his life was about to end.

The migration was long and dangerous. When he passed the position of leader to Apu, the tribesmen were worried that their old leader would be out of reach, but he magically persevered, dragged his old body and walked with the tribesmen to Gaochang City. In this peaceful place where Buddha light shone, he finally took his last breath.

The former Gaochang king Qu Wentai called him a hero, and Anxi guardian Guo Xiaoke also respected him as a man. They held a grand funeral for the Kunlun leader.

There were waves of Sanskrit sounds floating in the city, peaceful and magnificent. The people of the tribe who had been bruised and skinny seemed to be comforted by the Sanskrit singing. They either cried loudly or were full of tears. They couldn't believe that they had actually done it. With their feet, they walked step by step to this legendary Eastern country...

After the funeral, Qiao Junlin and others went to see Apu.

Apu is old, and this farewell is only two or three years old. Apu looks like he is over ten years older.

"How is my master?" Apu asked Qiao Junlin.

The past few years have been too long and difficult for him, and it has also made him more deeply realize the impermanence of life and death. At this moment, he just wanted to know whether Luo Yong is okay now.

Qiao Junlin looked at the black man Apu in front of him. Somehow, like Luo Yong, he had the idea of ​​making people happy. So he thought about it and replied, "It's pretty good, he's taller again."
