Xiao Han's idea of venting his anger on Jie Li failed to materialize in the end.
Because before he could get within fifty meters of Jie Li, Zhang Baoxiang and a group of people jumped out from various positions like dogs!
Then they all blocked in front of Xiao Han, refusing to get out of the way even if they were beaten to death. Just looking at the way they gritted their teeth, it was almost written on their foreheads: Prevent fire, guard against theft, guard against Xiao Han!
Poor Xiao Han was blocked from the crowd. He even gave reasons for treating Jie Li and visiting the old military doctor, but he still didn't take a step back.
"Xiao Hou, a wise man doesn't tell secrets! We will never let you see a doctor! After you finish it, who can say for sure whether Jieli is alive or not?!
As for reminiscing about old times? Can! Let's go and invite people over. You can reminisce about old times any way you want! But if you want to go in and see Jie Li, at least you should stop worrying about it before we return to Chang'an! "
Zhang Baoxiang tried his best to open his arms, like an old hen protecting its chickens, and stood in front of Xiao Han, as if Jieli would immediately turn into a dead person if Xiao Han took one look at him.
"Then I won't see him, and I'll just send some medicine to my elder. Let's do this at the head office!" Looking at the thick wall of people, Xiao Han had no choice but to do the next best thing, and just said to send some medicine to that elder. An old military doctor.
"You can send medicine!"
This was somewhat beyond Xiao Han's expectation, because Zhang Baoxiang agreed happily!
However, when Xiao Han looked at his appearance, he suddenly understood: It's okay to give medicine, but who should it be given to in the end? That’s not necessarily the case!
It is estimated that the highest probability of this medicine is that it was fed into the mouth of a certain animal. Anyway, if you want to give Xie Li, that is just a dream!

"came back?!"
In the gloomy twilight, he saw Xiao Han walking back from afar. Li Jing, who was sitting by the bonfire, had an unexpected smile on his face.
"Back!" Xiao Han sat down next to Li Jing and muttered listlessly.
"Have you met Jie Li?"
"No!"
"Oh? Why didn't you see it?"
"Humph, you still need to ask? It's not like Zhang Baoxiang and the others are guarding me as much as they are guarding against thieves. I can't even look at him..."
"Hahaha……"
When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but laugh loudly! The hearty laughter suddenly startled people not far away and looked here. When they found out that the laughter was coming from Li Jing, their eyes widened!
It was rare for them to see Li Jing so happy.
"Hehe, actually I can't really do anything to Jieli, these people! It's unnecessary." He seemed to be infected by Li Jing's laughter, Xiao Han scratched the back of his head and laughed too.
"Oh?" Li Jing finally stopped laughing and said to Xiao Han: "Why don't we take him? Last time we almost blinded him, and then we broke one of his legs! How about not taking him?"
"Stop it, it was the dog that blinded him, not me!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Han waved his hands towards Li Jing and said seriously: "As for breaking his legs, I did it a long time ago. I want to do it! This time I just took the opportunity of him to provoke me, so I did it together! Don't worry, I was very measured in my actions. Didn't I just break three pieces? If I pick them up, it won't affect him from dancing the Hu Xuan Dance in Chang'an! "
"His legs are broken, and you still let him dance Hu Xuan?" Somewhat surprised by what Xiao Han said, Li Jing looked back at Jie Li's direction and asked uncertainly.
"Hmph!" Xiao Han snorted twice and said nonchalantly: "It's broken now, but it will grow back when we get to Chang'an! As for dancing? We have worked so hard to raise him. If we can even entertain him, If the general public can’t do it, then that’s too much of a waste! It’s better to light a sky lantern to shine a little light..."
"Hey, let's face it, dancing is really good!" Li Jing took a breath. He really didn't expect that Xiao Han would want to use Jieli to light a sky lantern for fun.
The wood in the fire crackled.
The two people sitting by the fire began to discuss in a low voice: If Jieli wanted to dance the Hu Xuan dance, which clothes should he wear to look better.
Is it a short fur that exposes the belly? Or a fur jacket with only half wool sleeves? Or maybe it's the Great Khan's crown? That seems to be good!
Otherwise, wear one in the morning, another at noon, and another in the evening.
Obviously, when discussing Jie Li, both of them tacitly avoided the question at the beginning: Who is the person behind Wen Yanbo?
Perhaps for Xiao Han, as long as he knows that person is not Xiao Lizi, that is enough!
Even if Xiao Lizi knows about this and even acquiesces to it, it is still a political method and has nothing to do with character!
As for Li Jing, after so many days of settling down, he also changed from the indignation at the beginning to the indifference he has now.
If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person!
In this world, only those who are busy silently and doing nothing can have no enemies!
And a person like him who is at the pinnacle of military generals and holds the highest position in the officialdom should be jealous by nature!
Even if he does nothing from now on and just stands there quietly, he will block the hope of countless people who want to climb up.
Therefore, if someone wants to climb forward and replace him, he can only dismount himself!
As for the last emperor? Li Jing never expected his help!
Because Li Jing knew very well: It was a very special existence, an existence between humans and gods! An existence that does not use one's own likes and dislikes as the criterion for judgment!
In the eyes of all emperors, what they see is always the future, not the past, even if it has just been a little bit!
What the emperor needs is talents that emerge one after another, talents that he can immediately grab when he needs them, not a veteran who is dying!
Li Jing is already over 50 years old this year. Compared with the Tang Dynasty where the average age was only over 30 years old, he is indeed old!
It is true that this time we won a complete victory against the Turks, but what about next time? How many years from now? The emperor can't always count on Li Jing to go into battle, right?
Therefore, Li Jing could imagine that when he saw someone impeaching a hero who had returned triumphantly, the emperor on the dragon throne not only did not reprimand him, but instead acquiesced in this happening.
For the emperor, this impeachment not only allowed the soldiers who had returned from the victory to put away their arrogant attitude, but also allowed these veterans to step down from the peak of power due to their mistakes, freeing up positions for more rising stars.
Kill two birds with one stone, why not?
"Then it's settled. When we go to Chang'an, we will make Jie Li look beautiful! Then dance all the way into the palace?"
"Haha, that's natural! But it's up to you to dress up Jie Li. Those bastards won't let me get close..."
