Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 338
Xiao Xiaosheng said: "Prince Aowen's mother is really strange, such a stunning beauty lives in seclusion in the depths of the reeds, she never talks about her isolation from the world, and even refuses to meet her own son under excuses. Hey, Xiao Yang, do we want to see her?" Will you tell that arrogant and rude prince the news later?"

Xiao Yang shook his head and said, "There must be a reason for the discord between their mother and son."

It turned out that after Aowen came to Puchanghai to visit his mother yesterday and left without anger, Xiao Yang went up to the maid in black and asked, "When will Mrs. Sang Zi come back?"

The maid said: "Madam didn't explain it, it's hard to say."

Xiao Yang said: "Well, I will visit you someday."

Just as he was leaving, Xiao Xiaosheng suddenly said: "There are two horses tied behind the house, and the saddles have not been removed."

With a thought in his mind, Xiao Yang thought to himself, "This must be because there are guests at home. Since there are guests in the hall, how can the master not be at home?"

Busily went to the door again and shouted: "I know that I have something important to ask Madam Sang Zi, and I hope Madam will help me."

The maid opened the door again and came out, annoyed: "I told you earlier that the madam is away, and the prince has already left, what are you still pestering here?"

Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "The little girl lied without blinking her eyes. Let me ask you, whose are those two horses behind the house?" The maid was startled for a moment.

Xiaoxiaosheng said: "Can't answer the question? Please ask your wife to come out and meet me."

The maid said: "Madam said, I don't want to see guests."

Xiao Yang said: "Well, let's wait outside first, until Madam agrees to see me."

The maid hesitated for a moment, then turned and went in.

Xiao Yang was gentle and courteous, Xiao Xiaosheng didn't care about this, saw the maid was about to step into the threshold, rushed up one step, intending to follow in, but tripped over the threshold, and fell into the hall with an "ouch".Just as he got up in embarrassment, before he could turn around, he felt a chill in his neck. The maid pulled out a short knife from nowhere and put it on his neck.

Xiao Xiaosheng was surprised, and hurriedly said: "If you have something to say, I'll go out now, and I'll go out now." The maid was also extremely nervous, and the hand holding the knife was trembling.

Xiao Yang rushed in and said: "Mr. Xiao is so reckless, I will apologize for him. But we don't mean any harm, please put down the knife first." The maid didn't answer, she only looked into the inner room frequently.

Seeing that there was no one else in the hall, Xiao Yang became suspicious and said loudly: "Mrs. Sang Zi, are you in there? Please come out and see her."

Seeing that no one responded, he said, "So, I would take the liberty of offending you. Hey, madam, you..."

When the maid turned her head in surprise, she stepped forward and grabbed her "wrist", with a slight force, the dagger fell to the ground.

The maid cried out in pain: "Let me go!"

Xiao Yang said: "Sorry, I can't let it go for now."

Twist her arm behind her back, and was about to uncover the hood on her head, to get a better look at her face, when someone shouted: "Let go!"

But I saw a slender woman in purple clothes coming out of the hall. Although she is not young, she still has a beautiful face and a peerless youth.Xiao Yang immediately affirmed that she was the former number one beauty in the Western Regions, Sang Zi, and hurriedly let go of the maid, bowed and said, "Mrs. Sang Zi."

Sang Zi waved away the maid, went straight to sit down in the hall, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here to make trouble?"

Xiao Yang reported his name and asked, "Madam, have you heard of You Long?"

Sang Zi's attitude was extremely cold, and he said: "No. Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, I have lived in seclusion in Puchanghai for 20 years. Not only do I not know the people and things you want to ask, but I also don't want to meet outsiders. You go away now." Bar."

Xiao Yang said: "Madam, this matter is related to Prince Aowen..."

Sang Zi's face was covered with frost, so cold that there was no life, he said: "Although Aowen is my child, he didn't grow up by my side. I don't know anything about him. Come and see off."

The maid in black came out again, picked up the dagger from the ground, and said, "Please, both of you."

Xiao Yang had no choice but to bid farewell to Xiao Xiaosheng.All the way, Xiao Xiaosheng was full of praise for Sang Zi's appearance, and asked, "When shall we come again?"

Xiao Yang thought in his heart: "Mrs. Sang Zi didn't react when she heard You Long's name. She may not know the connection between You Long and Ao Wen. But as a mother, it is really unreasonable to be so indifferent to her own son. There must be some story behind it." Then he said to Xiaoxiaosheng: "I'm going to Taklamakan to find something, and I won't come here for the time being."

Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "You can just give me Youlong's mask and jade cutting knife, and I will become Youlong on your behalf, and go around to play with power and prestige, and taste what it's like to be cheered as a hero."

Xiao Yang said: "Behind the cheers, there are swords, spears and halberds. Are you willing to live such a dangerous life?"

Xiaoxiao hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I'm just joking, it's better to go to the desert with you to find King Zhou Mu's treasure."

Xiao Yang said: "What?"

Xiaoxiaosheng said: "Aren't you going to hunt for treasures? Let me tell you, there are traps everywhere where such treasures are hidden. Sir, I am proficient in the Bagua and Five Elements, and I will definitely be able to help you."

Xiao Yang said with a smile: "That's not bad, then let's continue to walk together and find the treasure and share it equally."

Xiaoxiao said "hehe" twice, and said: "Actually, I figured out that what you are looking for is not a treasure. If you refuse to tell the truth, it's up to you. In the future, you will cry and beg for your master."

Xiao Yang said: "Since you figured out that I'm not looking for treasure, sir, why do you still follow me?"

Xiao Xiaosheng said: "You look for your things, I look for my treasure, we go on the same road, don't we?"

Xiao Yang only thinks that Mr. Smile is very difficult to understand. Sometimes he is confused, and sometimes he has bright eyes, but he is really funny and cute, and he always makes jokes. With him by his side, the journey will always be more lively.

The two went south together, and because they were greedy for the twilight scenery of Puchanghai, they missed the closing time of the Muni City Gate, so they had to spend the night in a small inn just outside the city, preparing to enter the city early in the morning, buy some necessary items and go together On the road, unexpectedly, he happened to meet Prince Aowen on his way out, and was blocked by soldiers outside the city gate.

After waiting for half an hour, more and more people gathered at the city gate to enter the city.

Xiao Yang heard other people's discussion, and only then did he know that today Loulan will host a banquet for Khotan King Xidun and his party at the Sanjianfang Palace, he thought to himself: "Xidun's ambition is not small, this peace negotiation is unexpected, I'm afraid there are other articles."

"Before, his subordinate Prime Minister Zuo Mu was worried that Ye Mingzhu's truth would be leaked, so he bribed horse thieves to capture Mr. Xiao and me, and then used crossbow arrows to assassinate You Long in the desert, causing a generation of heroes to die in regret."

"Xu Mu has a deep scheming heart and has been unwilling to turn against me on the surface. That's why he called the horse thief to arrest me. He must have known that it was You Long who saved me from the horse thief. If I go to assassinate, I don't want to tell the people of Khotan. Is the dragon dead? In case of a mistake, personal life and death are minor matters, what about Youlong's career?"

Conflicts persist for a while, and only then can you better understand the difficulty of Youlong's survival—behind Youlong's mask, there is no self, and everything must be considered for Youlong's career.

How many warriors went on and on for their dedication and sacrifice in exchange for the immortal reputation of the dragon in the middle of the desert?So You Long, who should be called Aowen, should also be the Prince of Loulan, and should enjoy the power and wealth of the prince?What kind of opportunity made him fearlessly embark on the difficult and dangerous road of wandering the dragon, and finally died silently in the vast sand sea, becoming a pile of nameless bones?

Suddenly I heard the sound of horseshoes, and a large number of knights came roaring.Someone shouted: "Prince Owen has arrived!"
