Belus dared to swear with his own eyes that the purple steed in front of him was definitely his master, Sa Luzi, the mount of Li Wangyou, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty!
Because of Sa Luzi's chest, there is a very conspicuous scar, which is the arrow wound Li Er received when riding Sa Luzi to fight.
Belus studied with Li Wangyou, so he was naturally quite familiar with the steed Sa Luzi.
Sure enough, when he called out Sa Luzi's name in Chinese, the psychic horse, Sa Luzi, also recognized Belus, snorted affectionately, stuck out his big head, and Luce rubbed against his body.
"Brother, where did you get this steed?" Immediately, Belus grabbed A Luohan and asked aloud.Because of the tension, his voice trembled.
In Chang'an City, everyone believed that his master, Li Wangyou, had died in the desert.
When Li Wangyou's accident happened, he was riding Salu Ziwei out for a walk, and accidentally encountered a sandstorm, so he disappeared and his whereabouts are unknown.
Counting the time, it has been a year and a half since Li Wangyou had an accident.If Sa Luzi was safe and sound, but strangely appeared in Persia, thousands of miles away, then his master Li Wangyou was also not killed?
Belus's reaction startled Arochan and Yazdgeld III, who didn't understand what he meant.
"Bilus, what do you mean? Do you know my horse?" Luo asked puzzled.
"Brother, yes, I know this horse, its name is Sa Luzi! Tell me quickly, where did you get this horse? This is very important, no, it is very important!"
A Luohan scratched his hair in some doubts: "I bought this horse from a caravan a few months ago, spending a lot of silver coins."
Belus hurriedly asked: "Is the caravan still in the city?"
"Of course it is. The owner of the caravan is a native of Elan." Ah Luo shook his head and gave an affirmative answer.
Elam is the self-proclaimed name of the Sasanian dynasty in Persia.
Belus pulled A Luohan over: "Brother, quickly take me to find the owner of the caravan!"
Yazdgeld III was baffled by his son's violent reaction: "Bilus, what happened? Is there something wrong with this fine horse?"
Facing his father's inquiry, although Belus was extremely anxious, he could only patiently explain: "Father, this steed is named Sa Luzi, and it was originally the royal horse of His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Great Tang. Later, the emperor Your Majesty bestowed it on my master, His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty."
"What?" Yazdgeld III and A Luohan exclaimed at the same time, and turned their heads to look at Sa Luzi in disbelief: "This steed is the royal horse of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Which prince of Tang? Is he your master? Then why did this steed appear in my Elan?"
Yazdgeld III and Aro shook the question mark at the moment, and what Berus said made them even more confused.
Bellus could only roughly explain the cause and effect of this matter to his father and brother.
"His Royal Highness King Qin led an army of 15. After entering the desert, he was accidentally attacked by a sandstorm. My master's whereabouts were also unknown, and everyone believed that he had fallen. But his mount will appear in Elan, and he will be killed. The elder brother bought it, which means that the master may not have fallen in the desert. That's why I was anxious to ask the owner of the caravan where he got the Sa Luzi from!"
Yazdgeld III was also anxious after listening to Belus' explanation.
He also has a heart of awe and admiration for Datang, a great oriental country.Otherwise, he would not have sent envoys to Datang several times, and even sent his son Belus to study in Datang.
Historically, when the Sasanian Dynasty was invaded by the Arabs, Yazdgeld III asked the Tang Dynasty for help four times in the 12th, 13th, 21st and 22nd years of Zhenguan.
Just because Datang was too far away from Persia, Li Er could only refuse the Persian military assistance request.
Although it has been six years since Zhenguan, the two golden ages of the Persian Sasanian Dynasty have passed.Because of the perennial war with the Eastern Romans, the Persians were exhausted by the war, the economy declined, and the strength of the dynasty continued to weaken. The horseshoes of the Arabs had appeared on the southern border of the Sasanian Dynasty.
Yazdgeld III was already worried about the situation of the Sasanian Dynasty.Asking for help from the Tang Empire in the east was already in Yazdgeld III's consideration.
If one can take this opportunity to find out the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Qin of Datang, it will naturally be of great benefit to the friendship with Datang.
Thinking of this, Yazdgeld III immediately ordered A Luohan: "This matter is no small matter, A Luohan, you immediately lead Belus to find the owner of the caravan, and make sure he tells the truth about Sa Luzi. history."
A Luohan also understood the importance of this matter, nodded immediately, and greeted Belus to mount his horse, leading dozens of soldiers, and galloped towards the city.
The owner of the caravan who sold the horse to A Luohan was also a wealthy man in the Sasanian dynasty.The Persians did not place as much emphasis on agriculture as Tang Dynasty, so their family also had great influence in the Sasanian Dynasty.
But Ah Luohan had his father's order, so he didn't care about his status, so he led a group of Persian soldiers and broke into the merchant's mansion.
The businessman had always been hesitant to answer the question of A Luohan and Belus, but he just tried to presume that the horses were bought by the caravan from the Western Regions, and he didn't know the specific source.
It wasn't until Belus got angry that he pulled out the scimitar from the waist of the accompanying Persian soldier, and put the bright steel knife on the merchant's neck, and then he forced the Persian merchant to tell the truth.
After learning why Saluzi was exiled to Persia, Belus kicked the businessman to the ground in anger, then hurried back to the palace, and found his father Yazdgerd III.
"Father, please immediately send a messenger to Chang'an City to report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. There must be no delay in this matter. I will immediately lead people to go to the Western Regions to find Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty for help."
Regardless of the fact that he had just returned to his hometown, Bellus was ready to set off again.
From Ardashir in Persia to Gaochang Kingdom, it is seven or eight thousand miles away, and there are no complete post stations along the way as in the Tang Dynasty.
No matter how fast the speed is, it will take a month or two to arrive.
Belus was worried about Li Wangyou's safety, so he didn't care about his own fatigue.
Yazdgeld III hugged his son: "My child, go, the gods will bless you and your master."
After Belous knelt down on one knee and said goodbye to his father, he led the men and horses prepared for him by Yazdgeld III, stepped on Saluzi, and set off again, heading east...
(Amnesia? That's impossible. Laolong didn't write Qiong Yao's bitter drama, amnesia is a ghost! What kind of system, cultivation, and retravel are all impossible.)
1008 Sand Pirates Black Sand
In human history, in the era of cold weapons, the fastest marching speed record holder is the Mongolian Tuqi in the era of Genghis Khan.
Mongolian Tuqi can maintain an average daily marching speed of about 95 to [-] kilometers.
When Huo Qubing and Wei Qing were chasing the Xiongnu, their daily marching speed could reach [-] to [-] kilometers.
As for the holder of the fastest daily marching speed, it was during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty that the Eight Banners cavalry set a record of 180 kilometers a day.
Belus and his party were all like Mongolian cavalry, equipped with three horses each, and under the constant urging of Belus, they galloped towards the east day and night.
With a distance of seven or eight thousand miles, it took Belus just over a month to reach the outside of Gaochang City, and his speed was comparable to that of a Mongolian Tuqi.
Naturally, Cheng Yaojin also knew Belus, and when Tong Bing learned that Li Wangyou's disciple, Prince of Persia, Belus had something to see, the old hooligan was also a little surprised.
When Cheng Yaojin ordered people to bring in Bellus, who was almost out of shape due to the hard work of the past month, he couldn't help being shocked.
"Bilus, why did you make yourself look like this? Didn't you stay in Chang'an City? Why did you come to Gaochang City?" Cheng Yaojin didn't know that Bilous had returned to Persia, so he asked this question .
"My lord, I have bid farewell to His Majesty and Mistress half a year ago and returned to the homeland of Persia." Belus explained.
"Then why did you come to Gaochang City instead of returning to Persia?" Cheng Yaojin was puzzled.
Belus didn't explain, and directly ordered someone to bring Sa Luzi in: "Grandpa, just look at this horse."
Because of the continuous rush and galloping for seven or eight thousand miles, even a BMW like Sa Luzi lost weight from exhaustion, and its fur was not so shiny, but Cheng Yaojin still recognized it at a glance.
The old rascal immediately jumped up as if he had seen a ghost: "Straight mother thief, isn't this darn Sa Luzi? Belous, tell me clearly, where did you find Sa Luzi? Since Sa Luzi is still alive, is Ziyou okay? Where is he now?"
Belus smiled wryly: "Grandpa, this is the reason why I came to Gaochang City from Persia in a hurry. After I returned to my home country, I accidentally discovered that it had been sold to my home country, and it happened to be sold to me. Brother..."
