I heard someone call me Laozi Jieli.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but look back suspiciously.
I was seeing a little girl about her own age jumping and shouting in the prisoner of war camp.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and walked over.
When he came closer, Li Chengqian began to look her up and down.
The little girl wears a silver forehead ornament on her fair neck and a bright red gown.
Her appearance may just be a little delicate.
But her clear eyes revealed a kind of innocence that people will never forget after seeing her.
Li Chengqian tilted his head and asked with a smile, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
The little girl glanced at Li Chengqian and nodded with innocence written on her face.
"May I have your name?"
"Worry-free."
"Worry-free..."
"What a great name."
Li Chengqian pointed at Jie Li who was being escorted away and asked, "Is he your... Atta?"
"Um……"
The little girl nodded innocently again.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that Jieli loved this daughter very much at the beginning.
Otherwise, you can't be so naive and innocent.
It seems that she still doesn't know what coming here means to her.
Li Chengqian slowly knelt down and looked at the little girl: "Do you know where this place is?"
"Prisoner of war camp..."
The little girl looked at Li Chengqian, her brows furrowed tightly.
"Then do you know what it means to you after entering a prisoner of war camp?"
The little girl shook her head.
She doesn't know what an enemy is.
She doesn't know why there is war in the world.
She was the daughter that Jieli got when he was forty years old. She had been doted on in every possible way since she was born.
Under Jie Li's favor, he was as white and innocent as a flower blooming quietly in the cold wind.
See her look like that.
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed.
In such an era, if a woman is captured by an enemy country, her end will be very miserable.
Those with low status will be thrown directly into the army barracks to serve as military prostitutes.
Those with high status will also be thrown into the inner education workshop and become official prostitutes for others to enjoy.
To be honest, seeing this girl's innocent appearance, he really felt compassion.
Li Chengqian turned around and said to the soldiers beside him: "I want this man."
It was common in this era for Mr. Wang and Sun to ask for two women as prisoners of war.
Moreover, being taken away by Mr. Wang and Sun was better than being sent to a school to become an official prostitute.
When Li Chengqian said these words, the woman who could understand Li Chengqian's words quickly showed her pleading eyes.
"Your Highness, please take me away too, please."
"I can do everything from washing and cooking to picking up manure and watering."
Face these voices.
Li Chengqian could only choose to pretend he didn't hear.
To be honest, he also wanted to save these people.
But he could save one, two, or even ten or twenty people, but could he save tens of thousands?
Instead of telling the other person these useless things.
He might as well pretend not to hear.
Tang soldiers on the side heard Li Chengqian's instructions, opened the gate, pointed at Wuyou: "You, come out."
Wuyou didn't know what happened, he stood still and didn't move, only looking at the Tang soldier with fear on his face.
When the Tang soldier came in to pull her, she turned around and ran away with a fearful expression on her face.
This time, Tang Soldier was very angry.
Unfortunately, Li Chengqian had already asked for it by name.
He can't fight directly yet.
Therefore, he could only follow and walk in.
He grabbed the little girl by the back of her neck and lifted her out like a chicken.
Wuyou looked at Li Chengqian aggrievedly and was about to cry.
Li Chengqian pretended to be fierce: "Do you dare to cry?"
The little girl was startled, her mouth curled up, and she didn't dare to speak.
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes: "Okay, you can follow me from now on. At least you won't be bullied and you can eat and drink."
After saying that, Li Chengqian turned around and left.
He thought the little girl would be wise enough to follow him.
Who knows, this little girl is still standing there, motionless.
"Hey……"
"I'm saving your life."
"What's the matter, you little girl don't appreciate it?"
Li Chengqian tilted his head and looked at Wuyou.
Wuyou timidly lowered his head and whispered: "The bird is still inside..."
"Qier?"
"Who is Que'er?"
Li Chengqian was a little puzzled.
"Quer is the little slave given to me by Atta."
Please explain.
A slave is nothing more than a maid.
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes: "I said, you girl, aren't you trying to push your limits?"
"You want me to help you save the maid? Are you crazy? Or are you drifting?"
The little girl said nothing and still lowered her head.
Li Chengqian couldn't do anything to her, so he simply shouted: "Who's called Que'er?"
An older woman responded hurriedly.
Li Chengqian turned his head and looked around. The woman in front of him looked about twelve or thirteen years old.
Although he was wearing Turkic-specific clothing, his appearance was pure Han Chinese.
Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you from the Central Plains?"
Que'er nodded.
At this time, Li Chengqian began to carefully look at the people in the camp.
He found that there were many people here, all wearing Turkic clothes but with Han faces.
These are obviously people from the Central Plains.
After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Li Chengqian suddenly remembered.
When the Sui Dynasty conquered the Chen Dynasty, they kidnapped many women from the south of the Yangtze River and sent them to the Turks in exchange for war horses.
After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Sui Dynasty, many families who were opposed to the Tang Dynasty went to Turks to settle down.
No wonder there are these Turks with Han faces...
Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly.
This was also their original choice.
Now that he has become a prisoner of war, who can blame him?
Li Chengqian is not a holy white lotus.
Thinking about these things will only increase your worries.
In the end, Li Chengqian simply left the prison camp with Wuyou and Que'er and returned to his place of residence.
His current job is to look after prisoners of war here.
When Li Shimin tells him what to do, he will do it again.
But counting the days, Li Shimin probably won't be able to stay here for a few more days.
Because something big is about to happen in the capital.
Li Chengqian rubbed his chin: "My third brother should be about to die..."
Who could his third brother be?
Of course it was Li Zhi.
But now Li Zhi is still in Empress Changsun's belly.
According to the imperial doctor, the delivery will be within this month.
…
In fact, Li Chengqian's guess was correct.
After Li Shimin learned the news, he was already planning to return to Chang'an.
But when the war reached a critical stage, he couldn't get away.
But this time Li Chengqian's ingenious plan really gave him a big surprise.
Especially after learning that the front line had breached Jieli Ya's tent, he kept sending letters asking Li Jing if he had captured Jieli.
After all, he made the oath to let Tuli dance and Jieli write poems.
A few days ago, Tuli had announced his surrender, and half of his oath had been completed.
Now everything is ready, all that is left is Jie Li.
And when Hou Junji escorted Jieli to come.
Li Shimin was even more surprised and went out of the city to see it in person.
Seeing Lao Jieli's embarrassed look, Li Shimin smiled very unkindly.
"Jieli, Jieli, have you ever thought that you would also have today?"
When he saw Jie Li, all that flashed through Li Shimin's mind was the way he walked away triumphantly by the Weishui River.
But two years later, he became his own prisoner.
Jie Li looked up at Li Shimin, filled with bitterness: "Li Shimin, I admit, you won."
"But I don't admit it, I lost to you..."
