Chapter 66 After the Battle (Three)

The maid's scream made Hou Dayong very embarrassed. He originally wanted to listen to it at the door and leave, but now he is unable to leave.

Hou Dayong pushed the door open and walked away. Several maids in the yard heard the screams and ran out in surprise. In the darkness, he saw a tall man walking into the yard. In order to prevent the maids from screaming again, Hou Dayong reported his identity and said, "Don't call me, I am Hou Dayong."

The servants who took care of Guli Luo Yan were all newly bought. They were not familiar with Hou Dayong's voice. When they heard that the visitor claimed to be the governor, the servants were skeptical and didn't know what to do. A clever servant quickly ran into the house and took out a candle.

Guli Luo Yan stood at the door. Guli Luo Yan actually only saw Hou Dayong twice, but the gap in identity from the princess to the singer and her wandering experience made her mind mature quickly, far exceeding her age. Guli Luo Yan immediately realized that the person must be the Jiedushi. It was not a fun thing to pretend to be the Jiedushi at the Jiedushi's mansion. She walked quickly to the courtyard, bowed in the dark, and said, "I'll pay homage to the Jiedushi."

At this time, the light of the candle shone out Hou Dayong's faint figure.

When Hou Dayong heard this greeting with an Uighur accent, he knew that the Uighur woman Guli Luo Yan was standing in front of him. He asked knowingly: "You were playing the piano just now?"

Guli Luo Yan lowered her hands and said, "Play a small song to pass the long lonely night."

This sentence was quite bourgeois, which aroused Hou Dayong's interest. He said, "Go and go to the house, I'll listen to you play another song."

Several maids stood in the yard at a loss, watching the Jiedushi talking to Guli Luo Yan.

Usually they don’t pay much attention to Guli Luoyan. Guli Luoyan doesn’t know each other well. They spend most of their time playing the piano every day. When they are tired, they read the thick Uighur book. Several girls are happy and happy. After doing not much, they gather together to say some small things, and sometimes they even fight with each other.

After the two entered the room, a maid hurriedly took two candles, walked into Guli Luo Yan's room carefully, lit it, and retreated respectfully.

There was already a candle in Guli Luoyan's room, and three candles were lit at the same time. The cottage suddenly lit up.

Guli Luo Yan asked softly: "What kind of music does the Jiedushi like to listen to? It's cheerful and sad?"

“What track are you best at?”

Yuli Luo Yan thought for a while and said, "The Jiedushi is a hero, and I play the most song "The Legend of Ugus Khan""

"Ugus is a hero among the Uighurs. According to legend, the newborn Ugus looks as beautiful as a god. He grew up in forty days. He has bull-like legs, wolf-like waist, sable-like shoulders, bear-like chests, heroes eliminate harm to the people. He killed the unicorn that devoured people and animals. Finally, in a blue light, he saw a beautiful girl and married her as his wife." Guli Luoyan hugged Husitar, while auditioning and explaining the content of the song.

Soon, a majestic music came to my face, and the whole hut was filled with high notes. A section in the middle was melodious and low, lingering, and at the end, it was full of tragic and generous colors.

After the song ended, Guli Luoyan fell two crystal clear tears. During the performance, she thought of her father.

The music and Hou Dayong's mood were very consistent. Hou Dayong was immersed in the atmosphere created by the music. Looking at the slender and delicate fingers of the bone-li Luo Yan and the sea-blue eyes, he didn't say anything for a while. After a long time, Hou Dayong sincerely praised: "It's really good to play."

This song is one of Guli Luo Yan's favorite songs. In the past, her father often played this song. When she played this song, she couldn't help but think of her father who had died for many years. If her father did not die, she would also be the Khan of the Black Khanate.

Guli Luo Yan heard Hou Dayong's praise and looked up bravely into Hou Dayong's eyes, saying, "I rarely play this song. This song is for heroes, and ordinary people don't understand it."

Guli Luo Yan has a noble temperament and is graceful and generous in every move. Hou Dayong felt very comfortable and not disgusted with her flattery.

Guli Luo Yan said again: "Jingdushi, I have been here for a while and I am locked in the yard every day. It's so boring. Can I go out for a walk?"

"Have you never left the house when you come here?"

"No."

Hou Dayong did not think of this problem and said, "You are not a prisoner, just go out if you want to."

Guli Luo Yan saw Hou Dayong very easy-going and said happily: "It turns out that the Jiedushi allowed me to go out."

"Why don't I allow you to go out?"

"Maybe I'm afraid I'll run away."

Hou Dayong said curiously: "Your home is in Gaochang, are you willing to go back?"

"I have no home now." Guli Luo Yan put Husitar aside and wiped his eyes with his hands.

As a maid and a singer, every family has a lot of sad things. Hou Dayong saw Luo Yan wiped his tears without persuading him. He stood up and said, "I will come here and listen to you play the piano when I have time. By the way, tell me the story of the Gaochang Uighur Khanate."

Guli Luo Yan sent Hou Dayong to the yard gate, watched Hou Dayong's back disappear before returning to the house.

The Sogdian merchant Luo Ling is a very dedicated person. He trained beautiful women, all of whom were virgins. In this way, the sent-out women were easily favored by the new owner. Guli Luo Yan had never had any contact with other men when he arrived at the Luoling caravan. After Hou Dayong came to the hut, Guli Luo Yan was very nervous. If the Jiedushi wanted to stay here for the night, she could not refuse, and she was not ready for this.

However, Hou Dayong had no intention of staying here for the night. After listening to his music, he naturally left. After returning to the hut, Guli Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Several maids sent steaming bath water attentively, with a little awe in their eyes.

The next morning, after washing up, he put on the Han costume, Diguli Luo Yan, and took two maids and a servant out of the yard. After arriving in Fengzhou, Guli Luo Yan was locked in a small yard. Her identity was a little awkward, that is, she was not a clear identity like Chunlan Qiuju. She was not a maid, but a Hu girl. Therefore, no one paid attention to the small yard, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Last night, the sound of the piano attracted the Jiedushi, and she got the promise to go out at will, and with this Shangfang sword. Early in the morning, Guli Luo Yan happily left the house.

Since Hou Dayong ruled the three prefectures, he has implemented a policy of valuing business and pro-business. Fengzhou City has become lively. Merchants from all over the country flocked to it, and a gathering effect was formed. Because there were many merchants, it attracted more merchants. Even the Khitans, which have always been rare, appeared in Fengzhou. Fengzhou is located on an important channel from the countries in the Western Regions to the Great Zhou, so the proportion of merchants from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions is quite high, and high noses and deep-necked Western Regions can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Guli Luoyan walked on the street without attracting everyone's attention at all. Guli Luoyan's little girl was free to release herself. After walking for a long time, she was not tired at all. She looked at each shop and shop. She bought some beautiful accessories. Two maids followed her and talked about the quality of the goods from time to time. She was also very interested. The suffering was the servant. He was exhausted. Guli Luoyan was in high spirits, so she invited the servant to have tea in the teahouse and continued shopping.

When Guli Luoyan visited a Shangfu run by the Uighurs, she was surprised to find that many of the goods in this shop were unique to the Black Khanate.

Guli Luo Yan pretended to be casually asked, "Where is the goods here coming from?"

The waiter was also an Uighur. When he saw a beautiful Uighur woman asking questions, he said happily: "You are from Gaochang. All the goods here come from the Black Khanate, the Black Khanate. Have you heard of it?" The waiter said the standard Black Khanate Uighur language. The Uighurs in the Black Khanate spoke. It is different from the Gaochang Uighurs, and the tongue sounds heavier. In order to hide his identity, Guli Luo Yan has been deliberately speaking according to the pronunciation of the Gaochang Uighurs.

Guli Luo Yan hadn't heard the local accent for a long time. She suppressed her inner excitement and said, "I went to Kashgar when I was a child. It was really a beautiful city."

When the waiter heard that Guli Luoyan had been to the capital Kashgar, he was immediately excited. He usually spoke Central Plains in Shangfu. Today, he finally came an Uighur customer, and he was a beautiful Uighur woman. After his words opened, he talked endlessly and boasted about the prosperity and beauty of Kashgar to Guli Luoyan.

"Bughra Khan is also dead? Who is Khan now?" Guli Luo Yan felt a little happy and disappointed when she heard that Satuk, the uncle who killed her father, died.

"Now it is the Khan of the Black Khanate, it is the Arslan Khan."

“Is Arslan Khan Bayitash?”

The waiter was surprised that Guli Luoyan could name the Arslan Khan. He couldn't help but look at Guli Luoyan more and said, "You know the name of Arslan Khan. It seems that you have indeed visited Kashgar. There are a few pieces of Kashgar jewelry here, and authentic Kashgar goods were made by an old craftsman in Dongchengdi."

"Did the old craftsman in Dongcheng beat him?"

At this time, a carriage was parked at the door, and an Uighur businessman got out of the carriage. The waiter was a quick-witted guy. When he saw the shopkeeper come back, he immediately went up to meet him and immediately reported: "A woman came to the store. She had been to Kashgar and knew the name of Arslan Khan."

The Uighur businessman was shocked after hearing this, "Baitash had only been to Arslan Khan for two years. A woman in Fengzhou knew his name. This man must have been to Kashgar."

The Uighur businessman quickly walked to the store, and the waiter followed closely behind him, chattering while walking. The Uighur businessman knew that he was the problem, so he ignored him and stepped into the Shangfu in a few steps.

Guli Luo Yan was looking at these jewelry carefully. She used to have many jewelry made by old craftsmen in the east of the city. What surprised Guli Luo Yan was that these jewelry were indeed made by old craftsmen in the east of the city, and were authentic. For Guli Luo Yan, these jewelry carried too many imprints of childhood life. She pondered and tasted them one by one, but did not notice the Uighur merchants coming in from outside.

The Uighur businessman looked at Guli Luo Yan's silhouette and could hardly believe his eyes. The woman was actually Aguroz, Basil Khan's granddaughter, and Auguste's daughter.

The Uighur businessman was named Chongyi, who was a counselor under Auguste. After Auguste was killed, he resigned from office and went to business. He thought Auguste had died long ago, but unexpectedly, in Fengzhou, which was thousands of miles away from the Black Khanate, he saw Auguste in a state of dress in a man.

"Princess Augustoz." Chongyi suppressed his excitement and shouted softly.

This soft greeting. In Guli Luo Yan's ear, it was like thunder. No one called her like this for several years. Guli Luo Yan also recognized Chongyi, and she trembled and said, "Uncle Chongyi, is it you? Am I dreaming?"

The real dream was the waiter. The shopkeeper Chongyi's voice "Princess Augustoz" made him stunned. He was an old resident of Kashgar. He heard about the name of Princess Augustoz for a long time. When he saw the princess himself in Fengzhou, he opened his mouth wide and did not close for a long time.

When Chongyi saw that Luo Yan was following two Han maids, he said to the waiter: "You leave these two maids in the outer room and let them see some gadgets, and don't let them enter the inner room."

When we arrived at the inner room, Chongyi said anxiously: "Princess Augustoz. The guards took you out of the city on the night, and we only found the guard's body, and there was no trace of you anymore. In the past few years, we old people have gone to many places. We have been looking for you, and our hard work pays off. Finally, I found you."

Guli Luo Yan couldn't speak, and her tears fell down with a "bang, slap".

Chongyi saw Guli Luo Yan wearing Hanfu and asked, "Where are you living now?"

"I live at the Fengzhou Jiedushi's Mansion." Guli Luo Yan briefly explained his experiences over the past few years.

Chongyi said, "What should I do now? Hou Dayong is the governor of Fengzhou. He is the only one in Fengzhou. I will find a way to see if I can redeem you from him. If he doesn't agree, he can only find a way to escape. Alas, Luo Ling and I have business dealings. If I had known you were in Luo Ling, I wouldn't have to worry about it."

Guli Luo Yan sighed and said, "So what if you go out? You can't go back to Kashgar, you're a foreign land wherever you go."

Chongyi was also in a state of depression. Now the Black Khanate is in power. Guli Luoyan must not be able to return to Kashgar, but if she doesn't return to Kashgar, where can she go? "Even if she can't return to Kashgar, I will redeem you. I will go to the Jiedushi this afternoon. I will say you are my lost niece, the noble Princess Auguroz, and you cannot be a slave for anyone anyway." Chongyi said firmly to Guli Luoyan.

Shortly after Guli Luo Yan returned to the Hou Mansion, Chongyi rushed to the Jiedushi Mansion. Chongyi waited for an afternoon in the mansion. After dinner, Hou Dayong returned from the new military camp of the Black Diao Army outside the city.

"Is that right? Guli Luo Yan is your niece who has been separated for many years. No wonder he has a noble temperament." Hou Dayong heard Chongyi say about how he met Guli Luo Yan. Although it was a bit coincidental, logically speaking, there was no problem.

"I would like to pay a large ransom to redeem my niece."

"There is no problem with this, there is no need for ransom. But I have a requirement that the crops in the four states are not abundant. Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains have introduced courgettes, walnuts, coriander, shisha, carrots, pomegranates and other substances from the Western Regions. However, the people in the four states did not grow them widely. Next time you come, you must bring some good varieties to see which varieties are suitable for planting in the four states."

Chongyi did not expect that the Jiedushi agreed to his request so happily, and did not ask for a ransom. "The Jiedushi's great kindness and virtue are unforgettable. These products are common in the Western Regions. I will go back to find some good varieties to come back to express my gratitude."

Hou Dayong said to the Qin Family River where he was following: "Please invite Luo Yan over."

After a while, Guli Luo Yan followed Qin Jiahe into the hall. Guli Luo Yan was still wearing a green Hanfu, with white skin and a green long skirt, which had a unique charm.

Hou Dayong said: "Is the shopkeeper Chongyi your uncle?"

Guli Luo Yan nodded and said, "Since my father passed away, Uncle Chongyi and I have been separated for several years. Today we met by chance."

Chongyi was afraid that too much would make mistakes, so he quickly said, "The Jiedushi has promised to reunite our uncle and nephew."

Hou Dayong said: "Guli Luo Yan is very good at talking about the piano. When I walk, I don't know when I can hear the sound of nature."

Guli Luoyan has been wandering for several years. Now that she meets her father's old subordinates, she is finally about to end this wandering day. She is really happy. She has been to Hou's mansion for nearly a month and has only seen Hou Dayong three times. When she met last night, Hou Dayong left her a great impression. When she heard Hou Dayong praise her, Guli Luoyan said, "I will play another song "The Legend of Ugus Khan" for the Jiedu governor."

Chongyi secretly complained in his heart, "If you let me go, you can leave, why bother with such an extra effort?"

The maid quickly brought Husitar, and Guli Luo Yan sat down and played a song "The Legend of Ugus Khan" for Hou Dayong again. Guli Luo Yan's expression was very focused on playing the piano, her thin lips were tightly closed, as if all her body and mind were concentrated in the sound of the piano, and her expression was constantly changing with the sound of the piano, sometimes strong and sometimes affectionate.

After the song, the hall was quiet and silent. After a long time, Hou Dayong said: "The sound of the lingering sound lingers on the beams and lasts for three days, which is exactly what this piano sound is."

Guli Luo Yan put his hands together on her chest, bent her knees slightly, lowered her head slightly, saluted Hou Dayong again. She was sincere in her gratitude to Hou Dayong. If she was sent to other families, this would never end like this.

After Chongyi and Guli Luo Yan left, Hou Dayong felt a little disappointed and felt a little satisfied with doing good things.
