Chapter 1043 The real variable

And the protagonist of this banquet.

The beauty Wang Zhaojun, did not show up at all.

Instead, she and Liu Di were sitting on the towering pavilion of Changle Palace.

Zhaojun at this time.

She had changed into luxurious crown clothes, wearing exquisite jewelry, with her blue hair tied up high, and a touch of bright red painted on the corners of her eyes.

She was no longer as free and easy as before, but more like a Han noble like a bird in a cage.

She looked at Chang'an City at her feet absent-mindedly.

Liu Di asked: "Why are you wearing these clothes again?"

Zhaojun smiled bitterly, "This time, I really represent the style of the Han Dynasty. I can't let my temper run wild, otherwise when I arrive in the Western Regions, they will think that all Han women are so wild."

Liu Di asked again: "Leaving your hometown like this, do you have any regrets or nostalgia?"

Zhaojun thought for a long time, but said lightly: "No."

At this point.

The two stopped talking.

Zhaojun thought, such an important mission fell on me, naturally the righteousness came first.

I have been practicing martial arts and learning military tactics since I was a child, so that I can fight against the Huns one day. Now, it is just a different form.

As for the love between children and hometown, I dare not think about it, otherwise, it will be almost heartbreaking.

And what Liu Di thought.

This is history after all. As Zhaojun said, you can't let your temper do it.

Just thinking about Zhaojun's next situation, I feel inexplicably heartbroken.

Suddenly.

Liu Di saw Gu Fan's mark appear out of thin air on the city wall.

She supported her chin with both hands, stared at Zhaojun, and cried silently.

Liu Di was stunned, knowing that Gu Fan was feeling sorry for Zhaojun.

Then, since it is a pity, history is destined to be unchangeable.

"Alas"

Liu Di stared at Gu Fan intently, and said to Zhaojun softly: "This journey to the Western Regions is a long journey, I will send you off."

Zhaojun gently tied her hair, "When we reach the Western Regions, there will definitely be ambushes from other Chanyu. I don't want to meet Huhanye Chanyu for marriage, so the journey is dangerous, you don't have to send you off."

In Zhaojun's eyes, Liu Di had no fighting power.

After another moment of silence, Zhaojun said: "I have already agreed with the emperor to give you wealth and honor for the rest of your life. Zhaojun wishes you a bright future."

Liu Di smiled silently, "Then I wish you a safe journey."

For a long while.

The men and horses were full of wine and food.

The Han Yuan Emperor and his entourage of a hundred people actually personally escorted the team to the outside of Chang'an City.

At this point, the people of the city knew that there was a woman named Wang Zhaojun who married the Xiongnu for the sake of peace between the two tribes.

Everyone also suddenly thought of it.

Is she not the beautiful woman who walked to the palace on foot before?

At this time, Zhaojun.

Wearing a bright red crown, she sat cross-legged on the carriage in the middle of the team, her clothes spread out like a blooming flower, covering the carriage.

On the side, there was a plate of pomegranate flowers and a plate of red pomegranates.

The woman lifted the curtain, took a last look at her hometown, and burst into tears.

No matter how huge the mission was, or what status she would gain in the future, for her personally, she was still away from home and her future was uncertain.

It was also possible that she would die in a foreign land and never return.

Zhaojun's eyes passed through the layers of people.

But she couldn't find the young man named Liu Xiu. Since packing his bags, Liu Xiu disappeared.

In the end, Zhaojun only saw the red-faced, drunken Huhanye Shanyu.

The beauty sighed, "No need for complicated etiquette, let's set off."

A group of 3,000 people set off in a mighty manner.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in Chang'an, they walked farther and farther.

There were countless people praying for blessings.

There are countless people who admire her.

It is said that after Zhaojun left, Emperor Yuan of Han was seriously ill for three days, just because of the loss of the beauty.

The group went out of the frontier and trudged slowly.

Passing through Xingyang, Chenggao, and Lintong, a total of 4,000 miles.

After 11 days of traveling, they had reached the border, and there was still one-fifth of the distance to the Xiongnu area.

But this place was already covered with yellow sand and uninhabited.

The strong wind blew up the dust, covering the sky and the sun, and the visibility was less than 100 meters.

The group didn't know that the fatal crisis had quietly arrived.

On the sand dunes ten miles away, a team of 8,000 Xiongnu soldiers stood there.

The leader was nearly 2 meters tall and extremely strong. He wore a felt hat, leather armor, a scimitar on his waist, a longbow on his back, and a very fierce face.

He looked at the rolling yellow sand in front of him, and suddenly stretched out his arm. An eagle cried, fell from the sky, and landed on his arm.

The fierce man stared and looked at the eagle.

None of the eight thousand Hun soldiers behind him made a sound.

The man seemed to be able to see the information hidden in the eagle's eyes.

For a long time.

He raised his arm, and the eagle flew into the sky again.

He gripped the scimitar at his waist and said in the Hun language: "My brother got two thousand cavalry from the Han emperor, and he himself has only one thousand soldiers and horses, nothing to be afraid of!"

"There are still ten miles before he passes in front of us."

"Kill them all and bury them forever under the yellow sand!"

"Dreaming of marriage and helping those Han people unify the country?"

"He deserves to die!"

"And the Han Dynasty woman, we can take it back to the border and humiliate it at will!"

This man is Huhanye Chanyu's brother, another king of the Huns, Zhizhi Chanyu!

It was this man who defeated Huhanye Chanyu before and forced Huhanye Chanyu to seek asylum in the Western Han Dynasty!

Naturally, he could not observe the battle situation through the eagle.

But he placed a spy beside Huhanye Chanyu, who was the centurion who poisoned Chang'an City.

Now it was almost time for the chronic poison to take effect.

The team felt exhausted and weak.

But they could not think of the hidden danger left before departure, and thought it was caused by the long journey!
