Amidst the gazes of the Turkic generals as if they were about to eat people, Xu Yunyan was arranged by Jie Li to sit next to the table he had carefully prepared for the Tang envoy.
Xu Yunyan just sat down, looked at the food on the table in front of him, smelled the bloody smell, and snorted coldly.
"Is this how Turks treat guests? How can Turks be so petty? No wonder they can only live in this bitter cold place in the north."
Xu Yunyan was not afraid that his words would make the Turks angry, so he dragged himself out and stabbed him. Instead, he continued to seek death here indefinitely, opening and closing his mouth just to provoke Xie Li.
Seeing his appearance, Jie Li felt that this might really be the Tang army general named Xu Yunyan who defeated the Turks many times in the north.
Although Xu Yunyan now looks like a weak scholar, who said that a scholar can't go into battle to kill the enemy?
The Turkic generals glared angrily at Xu Yunyan's words just now, wishing to come forward and teach him a lesson. However, even though they were barbarians, they knew that they would save others' words when the two countries were at war.
Just when the Turks were staring at Xu Yunyan fiercely, Xu Yunyan started talking again.
"I don't care if you Turks eat these smelly, feces-like things or what, anyway, I think your life is too pitiful."
Xu Yunyan said here that the Turks eat that smelly food, and Jieli couldn't stand it.
"Come here!"
Following Jieli's cold snort, a guard from outside the camp walked into the tent, saluted and knelt down on one knee in front of Jieli.
"Khan."
The guard didn't know what was going on, so he had to ask here.
Jie Li pointed at Xu Yunyan who was in the corner, and Xu Yunyan's heart skipped a beat.
"You're not going to deal with me now, are you? I'm the messenger!"
While Xu Yunyan was muttering here, Jie Li spoke.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you prepare such unreliable food and bring it here? If you continue to be so unreliable, be careful I will punish you severely."
When Jie Li said this viciously, the guard did not react for a moment and was still staring with big eyes and did not leave. When Jie Li saw this, he snorted again.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go out and change the food?"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
At this time, the guards reacted and hurried forward to replace the food. This time, Xu Yunyan also secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Finally, I got through the deception. I wasn't dragged out by Jieli and hacked to death. Although I pretended to be a messenger, I was just a fake!"
After Jieli changed Xu Yunyan's food into something similar to the others, which was mutton and beef, Xu Yunyan was not polite and directly picked it up and took a big bite.
I just took a bite and stopped.
Jie Li saw Xu Yunyan, who was a little weird, asking.
"Tang Envoy, I wonder how it tastes this time?"
Xu Yunyan looked at Jie Li with a curious look and said to Jie Li, "Khan, your food is a bit bland and lacks salt. You should bring more salt from the south. I will tell your majesty after I return to the south. From now on, I will give you salt every year, and the taste will be beautiful after adding salt!"
As Xu Yunyan said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and took out a small bag from his arms.
This is the refined salt he made himself. Although there is plenty of sea salt in today's food, there are still many times when he is reluctant to add salt.
In order to protect his stomach from being wronged, Xu Yunyan secretly prepared such a small packet of refined salt and put a little on it when he felt that the food was tasteless.
Xu Yunyan took out the refined salt and put it on the leg of lamb. Of course it was another leg of lamb that he had not eaten before. He took it directly to Xie Li with a sudden stride and handed the leg of lamb to Xie Li for him to taste.
Jie Li muttered here, is this thing really edible? There are a lot of poisons in the south. If you accidentally eat this stuff, it will be poisonous.
But what to do?
Xu Yunyan saw Jie Li hesitating here and couldn't help but speak provocatively.
"Don't you even dare to taste it, Khan? What should I do? How can I send you salt next year?"
This has reached a dead end again. If it is really poisonous, Jieli will die if he eats it. The other small tribe leaders will definitely go to war for the position of Khan, and it will be very shameless for Jieli not to eat it.
While they were stunned here, a confidant of Jieli was talking next to them.
"I, the Great Khan, have eaten so much of this thing that I don't even care about it. However, our small tribe has no chance to taste it. I wonder if you can ask the Great Khan to give this leg of lamb to me?"
When this person said this, Jieli instantly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the leader of the small tribe who had rescued him and nodded here.
"Yes, I ate too much of this, so I'll give it to you."
The leader of the small tribe came forward happily. When he came to Xu Yunyan, he snatched the leg of lamb and stuffed it into his mouth, and started to eat it.
The person who came to Jie Li's rescue said that it was delicious while eating it. It was really delicious. I didn't expect that the lamb leg would taste so delicious after being sprinkled with salt.
Very quickly, he ate up the whole leg of lamb. Although their banquet had been held for a while before Xu Yunyan came, there was nothing strange about him eating the whole leg of lamb. His confidant Jie Li was relieved.
Seeing this man eating mutton here, Xu Yunyan didn't feel like a petty person and directly placed the small package of refined salt in front of Jie Li.
"Khan, this is the salt I was talking about. I just didn't expect that you Turks are also short of salt. It's my fault for not sending salt to Khan this time. I'll apologize to Khan first."
After Xu Yunyan put down the salt, Jie Li also saw that there was no problem with it just now, and his little tribe's henchmen were very happy to eat it, so he pinched a little here and looked at it in his hand.
"This is similar to ours."
Jieli could only say this, he also had this thing, and finally sprinkled the salt on the mutton and tasted it.
"Well, it is true that your salt is much finer than our salt. Okay, then I agree. I will hold a banquet here again next year to welcome the envoy. I just hope that the envoy can send me more refined salt."
"No problem, no problem."
Xu Yunyan nodded here again, and He Jieli bowed down and gave in. When the banquet was carried out normally again, a group of Turkic maids danced unique Turkic dances in Jieli's tent to entertain everyone.
The excitement lasted from noon to evening, with eating and drinking continuing in the evening.
Xu Yunyan felt a little confused about this.
You can say that Jie Li is so shrewd, but why does his brain seem to be unable to react now? Not even the most basic precautions? Or is it that he escorted too many supplies? Think about it, he escorted 100,000 people, enough food and grass for three months, and most of the canned food to supplement the Tang army. This is an exquisite thing that the Turks have never seen before. Here, No one ate the food in the camp, but the cans were opened and tasted by many Turks.
The whole camp was filled with laughter and laughter. Seeing such a scene, Xu Yunyan used the excuse of going out to warn his soldiers to pay attention to safety, but the soldiers said this to him with hazy eyes.
"General, this is our canned food! Is it being ruined by the Turks like this? We can't bear it!"
These soldiers were here feeling sorry for these cans. Seeing how distressed they were, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but smile.
"You feel sorry for these little cans. You think it's an early farewell to the Turks who are about to withdraw from the stage of history. Don't be so petty."
When Xu Yunyan said this, everyone sighed helplessly, but what Xu Yunyan said was still very reasonable. It was equivalent to sending the Turks off.
It's not that they didn't understand what Xu Yunyan did. After thinking about it carefully, everyone felt less depressed, but they still felt like this.
Very uncomfortable.
They couldn't even eat such delicious food. Although it was brought by them, the Turks didn't give them any after taking it, which made them extremely embarrassed. They were thinking viciously here.
"Just wait, as long as we have the chance, we will never let you go."
When these Tang soldiers looked at the Turks who were eating and drinking in the distance and had relaxed their vigilance and gestured fiercely, these Turks looked at them and did not take it seriously. They thought they were looking for some of them. The canned food even pointed at them and laughed at them, and then walked away.
Seeing this, these soldiers could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was great that the Turks actually relaxed their vigilance against them. Hundreds of them gathered together, and when they started to attack, the Turks would have enough to drink.
In this way, the banquet continued until midnight, but the excitement had to be dispersed. After the banquet, Xu Yunyan watched Jie Li happily being supported by a few confidants to rest, and the leaders of the small tribes were also wandering around. After leaving, Xu Yunyan muttered here.
"I don't know when Master will launch an attack."
But some things just happen without mentioning it. Xu Yunyan muttered like this and returned to the tent that Jieli prepared for him. Just when he lowered his head to rest, he suddenly felt as if there was some danger waiting for him.
How is this going?
Xu Yunyan quickly stood up from the fur bed and looked around.
"They are just ordinary tents with no hidden dangers. This feels so strange."
When Xu Yunyan said this, a dagger pierced out from the fur and pierced Xu Yunyan's vital part.
Xu Yunyan, who was muttering here, suddenly reacted and hurriedly rolled to avoid it. After rolling to the edge of the tent in an inconspicuous manner, he saw a naked girl emerging from the fur and pointing a dagger at him.
"You are a thief, you actually colluded with the Turks, and you asked me to serve you. I will fight with you."
What's happening here?
Xu Yunyan looked at the person in front of him and couldn't react.
"Girl, what are you doing?"
"Don't call me girl, you are a boneless person. Instead of fighting the Turks to the last moment, you actually surrendered to the Turks and sent him so many gifts. Why should I let you live? I, the princess, will do it now It’s going to kill you!”
Monk Xu Yunyan was confused at this moment, but he quickly caught one sentence in her words.
"Princess? Are you a princess? Are you a princess of the Tang Dynasty or a princess of the former Sui Dynasty?"
Although Xu Yunyan is not sure about this, he still knows something about it.
When I came here, no princesses from Li Tang were captured by the Turks, but it was hard to say about the princesses from the Sui Dynasty.
Who allowed their emperor to be under the control of the Turks?
