With a deep and unforgettable experience, it is difficult to adapt to the dull and unpredictable days. Zhang Qian was deeply trapped in boredom.

This ten-year-old mission to the Western Regions has been releasing his heart, and it has become a difficult time for him to live.

For both the Han and the Hungarians, Liu Che issued an edict to recuperate, it proved that this was a day for a temporary truce to be announced.

Liu Che did not forget him, and he personally ordered him to serve as the Weiyang Palace Guard. However, he has always been active, but he is not used to this daily routine life. Sometimes there are boundless peaceful days, and even a kind of speechless boredom.

...

One month,

Just passed by the stars,

During this period, Zhang Qian has been looking forward to Liu Che starting his second trip to the Western Regions as soon as possible.

This is not only to fulfill the emperor's long-cherished wish, but also because the other end of the desert may be buried with his Nama and his son.

Until one day, Ji An brought the oral order issued by Liu Che to the mansion.

Liu Che said in the letter: Zhang Aiqing has been back for several years, but he is still alone and his family is very empty. He asked him to protect the media and choose a daughter of a prominent family to marry.

Zhang Qian was very grateful to Liu Che for his care, but in his heart he refused and politely declined Xu Xian's kindness.

Losing Nama is a pain that he cannot heal in his life. How could he forget...the days they were stranded?

In order to return to Chang'an safely, Nama took on the responsibility of raising her son alone.

Every time she eats, Nama, as a mother, does her best. Whenever she eats less meat, she always lets her children eat first. She often spends the night hungry.

Seeing that Nama, who was as beautiful as a pheasant flower back then, was very worried about his face for his own delicacy. He always felt that it was a shame for men to let his woman bear so much burden.

But in fact? He was just a prisoner at that time, and doing enough food and clothing by himself was just a joke.

One day, while the children were sleeping, he advised Nama to take his sons back to the Shanyu Court.

Nama's eyes disappeared faintly, she looked back at her son beside her, and smiled sadly, "Qian! Don't say that, you are my husband, do you know what Nama's heart is? It's the spotless white snow. Look at it, husband, these are the Chinese characters Nama learned to write."

It was such a woman as clear as the Kunlun River, Zhang Qian sighed without saying a word.

With expectations, Zhang Qian held up the sheepskin and found the word "Chang'an" from the crooked words.

"Qian! Do you know? Our son has learned a lot of Chinese characters at a young age. He is very smart, as smart as you, and yearns for Chang'an as much as me!"

What else could Zhang Qian say? He silently hugged Nama and savored this love like a vow.

"Nama! If you want to cry, cry loudly!" Zhang Qian kissed Nama's hair.

Nama held back the crying, looked at Zhang Qian's eyes and said, "My husband doesn't think about anything, just find a way to go back to Chang'an. Even if my father is by the side of the Sun God, he will bless us."

Once upon a time, his heart could tolerate the vast land of the Western Regions, but he could no longer tolerate another woman.

Feelings are the pain of memory, which will be unforgettable for a lifetime, and will eventually be buried with people.

That day, Ji An listened to the story between him and Nama intently, and was moved by their loyal and holy love.

No one knew whether he would report these reports to the emperor later, but no one ever proposed to him for marriage since then.

...

But this person's life is indeed difficult, and time is long. This is a day in the early July of the first year of Yuanshuo (129 BC).

Zhang Qian was tired of staying in the office. He thought that the alfalfa brought back from the Western Regions should be fragrant with purple flowers, bees and butterflies gathered, and the walnuts and grape branches must have fruitful fruits.

So he returned to normal and made an appointment with Sima Xiangru to visit Maoling. The two of them agreed to meet at Du Youting, west of Xianyang.

Zhang Qian liked to arrive early, so he came to Xianyang first and quietly found a secluded inn to stay in.

After getting up early in the morning, he simply used some refreshments and rushed to the meeting place.

Sima Xiangru may also be a person who doesn’t like to play by routines. He arrived early...

From a distance, he saw Sima Xiangru standing in front of the pavilion on a tall and maroon horse, waving to him. There was also a young man beside him, with a very unfamiliar face, but he had never seen him before.

A few feet away, Zhang Qian shouted excitedly: "Hahaha, Lord Sima is so fast, I'm here first, it's so wonderful."

Sima Xiangru replied, "Hehe, Xiangru is anxious. In order not to delay the trip, she arrived in Xianyang East last night."

At this time, the young man riding a snow-green horse stepped forward and bowed to Zhang Qian and said, "I have long admired the reputation of the great master, but I will never tell you. I am polite."

"It's..."

"Hahaha! You don't know each other!"

Sima Xiangru smiled and said, "He is the young master of Sima Tan, the Grand Historian. His full name is Sima Qian! In the past two years, he has traveled all over famous mountains and rivers and collected cultural relics and historical sites. I didn't return to Chang'an not long ago.

He heard that Maoling had planted fruit trees from the Western Regions, so he was curious and wanted to come and take a look."

As soon as Sima Xiangru introduced, Zhang Qian couldn't help but say "ah": "Well! I have heard that Taishi Gong has a young master. He has learned a lot since he was a child and has learned from him. Now I don't expect to meet him here. I am really lucky."

As the three of them spoke, they immediately became familiar with each other, and then activated their mounts under their crotch and ran towards Maoling with a smile.

Lingyi was built on the north side of Sima Road. They entered through the east gate and walked along the way. They only saw the roads in the city intertwined with dense linings. From the perspective of self-development, the wealthy businessmen who migrated from all over the country had already experienced all kinds of discomforts that had just arrived, just like the customs of the people around them, and were accustomed to life here.

A neatly dressed shopkeeper saw three people wearing square collars coming, and guessed that it must be the official from Chang'an. He hurriedly licked his smile and shouted loudly: "Do you want to be the top-notch or stay in the store? Please invite it inside!"

Zhang Qian looked at Sima Xiangru and Sima Qian and said, "Yes, I'm hungry after walking for half a day. The three of us might as well find a secluded place upstairs to have something delicious, so it's not too late to see it."

As soon as I sat down, the store owner was enthusiastic and kept following upstairs to greet him.

Zhang Qian couldn't help but be happy, so he ordered some excellent wine and selected some exquisite and flavorful dishes.

The restaurant had to be very erect. Hearing Zhang Qian's words, he kept saying: "Today's officials are so happy. Our restaurant has recently cooked a new dish called Jade Jade Jade. Hehehe, how about I'll try it later?"
