Before Jie Li could react, five pairs of big hands had already grasped tightly, like eagle claws, firmly embedded in his flesh!
"ah!!"
"Who are you! Someone is coming, someone is coming...someone wants to assassinate Ben Khan!"
Jieli opened his eyes suddenly and screamed. He wanted to struggle, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move at all!
"Don't bother, my great khan."
Li Daozong stood with his hands behind his back, stared at Jie Li, and said with a smile,
"Do you still recognize me?"
Jie Li looked up and his expression suddenly changed.
"Li Daozong?!"
He was surprised and said,
"You...why are you here? Where is Sunish Khan? What did you do to him!"
The Turks and the Tang Dynasty had been at loggerheads on the border for many years, so Jieli naturally recognized this Tang Dynasty military hero who had guarded the border for many years.
But he... actually appeared here at this moment!
Jieli's heart had already sunk to the bottom. He felt that his body was tightly restrained, and his heart was filled with confusion.
It shouldn’t be!
He obviously walked several trails in succession to get rid of the Tang Army's pursuers. This was a fact that had been confirmed many times.
Even if the other party could really catch up, it would never be possible so fast!
"How come I'm here?"
Li Daozong chuckled and said proudly,
"I have been waiting here for a long time under the orders of the chief steward!"
"As for Sunis Khan... Haha, maybe you will have tea in Chang'an one day to reminisce about the past."
"come!"
He waved and ordered his men:
"Pick up this big fat pig, clean it, and tie it up tightly!"
Wow!
Before Jie Li could react, five strong men had already pulled him out of the tub.
There were still water drops hanging on his naked body, and the cold wind outside made his teeth chatter and shiver!
"hiss--"
Jieli tried his best to curl up, but the five strong men refused to do so, and instead stretched him wider.
"Be gentle with me, this is a precious pimple. Not only this king, but also all your military achievements are on it!"
Li Daozong laughed and scolded,
"Wrap him in a blanket and take him out of the camp! Take him back to Dingxiang!"
Uh-huh!
The men chuckled and covered Jieli with a thick blanket, wrapping him up.
Then, he tied the blanket into three sections with thick hemp rope, which is called a strong one!
At this moment, Jieli looked like a trembling chicken roll.
Outside the account.
"Congratulations to Prince Rencheng, congratulations to Prince Rencheng!"
Sunishe quickly stepped forward and congratulated,
"You deserve the greatest credit for capturing the Turkic Great Khan alive. You have made outstanding achievements!"
Li Daozong couldn't help but smile when he heard this.
"It all depends on the cooperation of Sunis Khan. Otherwise, how could this trip go so smoothly?"
He cupped his hands and said,
"We all have merit. Let's wait for the chief manager to record the merit and His Majesty the Emperor will reward us, haha!"
Jie Li: "!!!"
When he saw Suni Shi's smiling face, his whole head exploded!
"Su! Ni! Lost..."
"You, you betrayed Ben Khan! You damn thing, you poisonous snake!"
Jieli's eyes were about to burst and he cursed loudly.
At this moment, if he still can't understand the situation, he is really a grown pig!
"Great Khan, don't speak so harshly."
Sunishi turned to look at him and said happily,
"You are finished, and the Turks will be finished soon. I surrendered to the Tang Dynasty just to find a way out for myself and my tribe."
"It's just that the Tang Dynasty had rules and surrender requires a certificate of surrender. I can only aggrieve you and take it as my certificate of surrender."
"Please don't mind..."
Jie Li: “@#￥%……&@!!!”
I don't mind if you do X!
You scolded me and asked me not to mind? !
"Where are my personal guards? Where is my son Yugushe! What did you do to them!"
he yelled.
Sunisu chuckled.
"Don't worry, they all fell asleep and slept peacefully."
He slowly walked up to Jie Li and whispered,
"You're tired too, it's time to take a nap..."
"Sunishi, you bastard! The God of the Grassland will definitely punish you and let you die without a burial place! You... uh uh uh..."
Jieli was still spitting out the fragrance, but Suni accidentally applied the gray-brown powder to his mouth and nose.
In just a moment, Jieli's eyelids drooped and his head drooped.
"Prince Rencheng, he is too noisy."
Suni clapped his hands and curled his lips and said,
"I'll tell him to calm down, is that okay?"
Li Daozong nodded.
"Your medicine is good. Once you put it down, the medicine will be turned over."
He praised,
"We are going to Dingxiang to meet up with the chief manager soon. Please bring this medicine with you and use it from time to time to prevent this old boy from trying to escape in some crooked way."
This guy Jie Li may not be good at anything else, but his talent for escaping really shouldn't be underestimated.
If there is a slight opening, he can slip away. Even if he has been wrapped into a chicken roll, he still can't be careless at all! There are still more than ten days to go back to Dingxiang from Suni's lost tribe!
"This is easy."
Sunisu grinned and said,
"But... Prince Rencheng, what are you going to do with the remaining 1,500 personal guards? Are you going to take them back to Dingxiang together?"
Li Daozong's eyes narrowed.
He only has 5,000 cavalry, and each of these 1,500 personal guards is an elite Turkic cavalry.
Controlling them back to Dingxiang was a bit reluctant.
What if there is a riot along the way...
"I can't take so many people with me. You can identify them later."
Li Daozong said in a deep voice,
"For example, the Turkic princes wanted to set up in Gushe, and there were also generals, princes and nobles who stayed behind. The others were all killed in their sleep."
"No one left!"
…
Ten days later, Xiangcheng was settled.
boom!
Xu Fenglei kicked the cow in the butt, causing the cow to run forward several steps before turning back and looking angrily at the annoying human.
"Go! Why don't I just kick you? Why are you so impatient?"
Xu Fenglei laughed and threw another stone, hitting the cow's back.
"Moo——"
The bull roared angrily and rubbed its hooves on the grass, as if it was about to charge for a fight.
"Tsk."
Xu Fenglei clapped his hands and sighed softly,
"There is a road to heaven. If you don't take it, you will end up like a plate of beef stew."
"Tell me about you, why bother? I really can't understand the situation. I don't know who is the boss..."
"Come on! Chop up this cow for me and eat it for lunch today!"
Thumb thump!
"I have the order! Hahaha..."
Yuchi Gong rushed forward, leading a few guards to seize the strong bull. The long knife in his hand was already waiting for him.
"You guys are still so rude."
Xu Fenglei said with some dissatisfaction,
"Didn't I tell you the story of the chef cutting off the cow? The curvature should be more graceful, so that the bones of the cut beef will be clear and delicious!"
"Do you understand?"
He commanded nonchalantly, but Yu Chigong on the other end snorted twice.
"Why don't you just cut it and eat it..."
Yuchi Laohei pouted and said,
"Those who eat cows and sheep every day these days are getting tired of it."
"I miss the naan bread in Chang'an... When can I go back?"
Fighting is not painful, waiting is painful.
Every day, I count and eat cattle and sheep in Dingxiang City. Under Xu Fenglei's strict military discipline, I can't find any other fun.
Just as he was feeling depressed, he suddenly saw a young general running up to Xu Fenglei. He cupped his hands and saluted, saying:
"See Grand Steward."
Xu Fenglei glanced slightly to the side.
"It's Dingfang."
He smiled and said,
"Why did you come to me if you didn't follow your master?"
"Um...what are you holding in your hand?"
With sharp eyes, he had already seen the other person holding a small box in his hand.
Su Dingfang grinned.
"Go back to the Chief Manager, what's inside seems to be what you're looking for."
He said,
"Take a look?"
Snap.
When the box was opened, a strange smell escaped.
"What's this?"
Yuchi Gong on the other end had finished venting his strength, was wiping his saber, and looked over curiously.
But he didn't see it. Xu Fenglei's eyes were a little straight at this moment.
"Tobacco leaves? Really tobacco leaves?!"
Xu Fenglei took the small box in his hands, lowered his head and took a deep breath, feeling elated!
This is the taste!
Although it is a bit rough, this is tobacco leaf, there is no mistaking it!
"Someone! Go get a piece of paper from my tent."
He gave instructions to his personal guards, and then asked Su Dingfang,
"Dingfang, where did this come from?"
Su Dingfang smiled.
"Looking at the expression on the headmaster's face, it seems that the general has found no fault."
He cupped his hands and said,
"Back to the chief manager, I got this from a Turkic witch doctor. He used this herb to treat wounds. It was first used on animals, but later he found it effective and also used it on humans."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
Tobacco itself does have a certain analgesic effect.
This witch doctor is not wrong.
"Then did you ask him, where did he get this tobacco? Is there such a thing as this in Turks?"
he asked again.
Su Dingfang nodded.
"The general asked him, and he said he got it from Tiele, which is further east."
He replied,
"I don't know if there is any place where Turks grow this stuff, but he and several other witch doctors still have a lot of stock. If you need it, Chief Manager, will you go and get it all for you?"
Xu Fenglei's eyes lit up.
"well!"
He clapped his hands and said,
"This is a good thing, the more the merrier, the more the merrier!"
"If we can get tobacco seeds and bring them back to the Tang Dynasty for breeding, it would be a real blessing... uh..."
Subconsciously, I wanted to say "benefit all people", but then I thought of the six words "smoking is harmful to health" and swallowed my words again.
This thing can only benefit yourself...
"As you command!"
Su Dingfang received the order and turned around to leave.
At this moment, the personal guards who took the paper also arrived.
"General Manager, what are these gray and wilted leaves? Why do you have such a big reaction?"
Yuchi Gong looked left and right but couldn't figure out what was going on. He couldn't help but frown and said,
"Why can't I see the good in it?"
"Can it cure diseases?"
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he couldn't help but look at him with disdain.
"Are you saying you are a country bumpkin who has never seen the world?"
He hummed softly,
"This thing is good news for men. I guarantee that after you taste it, you won't be able to put it down and will be obsessed with it."
"Look, this is how it works -"
While talking, Xu Fenglei tore off a piece of almost rectangular piece of paper.
The tobacco leaves were already dried and crushed, so they were placed directly on the felt paper without further processing.
Gently roll it up into a cylindrical shape.
"fire."
Xu Fenglei ordered again.
The guard handed over the cigarette stick and, at his signal, lit one end of the cigarette stick.
Xu Fenglei held the other end between his legs and took a big sip into his mouth without hesitation.
"Cough! Cough cough cough!"
The force of this puff was so strong, and the tobacco leaves were so dry and rough that his old smoker caught fire and started coughing violently.
"Ouch..."
Yuchi Gong hurriedly helped him and said with concern,
"General Manager, what are you doing?"
"Huh..." Xu Fenglei blew out a circle of smoke and sprayed it on Yu Chigong's face.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Yuchi Gong breathed in second-hand smoke and couldn't help coughing. He could only hear him yelling and cursing while coughing,
"What is this! Poison, this has such a strong smell..."
"I'm choking to death!"
Xu Fenglei laughed, ignored Yu Chigong, and continued to suck the cigarette stick between his teeth.
With this second mouthful, he controlled his strength and inhaled gently.
This mouthful was still very dry, but he was able to accept it. After it passed through the lungs along the respiratory tract, Xu Fenglei closed his eyes comfortably and felt that his whole brain was roaring.
It's back, it's all back!
The old smoker who had been forced to quit smoking for so many years finally reactivated at this moment!
"call--"
After blowing out a long puff of second-hand smoke, he narrowed his eyes comfortably and shouted,
"Cool!!"
Yuchi Gong: "?!"
"General Manager...you, this..."
He said with a suspicious look on his face,
"Just two strokes like this...is it really so good?"
Xu Fenglei squinted at him.
"Try?"
He handed over the cigarette stick.
"Well……"
Yu Chigong hesitated, but finally took it out of trust in Xu Fenglei.
"How...how to do it?"
he asked humbly.
"Suck it in, breathe it in and spit it out, it's very simple."
Xu Fenglei said happily,
"You'll know after you try it."
Yuchi Gong nodded and took a deep puff on the end of the cigarette stick.
A strong stream of smoke entered his mouth and rushed towards his respiratory tract.
"Cough! Cough cough cough... vomit!"
"This...ahem...what is this! Boss, you are going to kill me, Lao Hei!"
Yuchi Gong coughed violently, tears streaming down his face, and he almost coughed out his lungs.
"Hahaha... You are a junior brother, don't do it so violently!"
Xu Fenglei laughed and said,
"Take your time, pump gently, and allow yourself to adapt."
"When it passes through the lungs, you will feel different... Hey, forget it, you should give up, I don't even have enough!"
Just lighting tobacco leaves like this, if you can't find a wild tobacco field, will only be enough for you to smoke for a few days, and you won't even be able to enjoy it.
Why teach Yuchi Gong?
By then, this old boy will pester him for tobacco every day, and his head will hurt!
