"General Li Si, who won the competition between you and Old Man Pei yesterday?"
"Hahaha... almost... almost a tie!" Li Xuanba said while rubbing his belly.
Old Man Pei was really cruel yesterday. If he hadn't used a wooden sword, he would have poked a hole in his waist.
However, what he said was almost a tie is not wrong, because he stopped because he was stabbed in the abdomen by Pei Min first, but if he really was fighting for his life, Pei Min would probably be almost the same with his hammer.
"But are you planning to return to Chang'an?" Li Xuanba grabbed another bun. The breakfast he had in Tang Ping these two days was called breakfast. He had long heard that his third brother Li Yuanji said that his nephew would Eat, I didn’t expect to be so good at eating.
These pickled cabbage vermicelli buns, he felt that it would be no problem for him to eat a dozen of them in the morning, they were really delicious.
After they returned to Chang'an, they couldn't eat such delicious buns anymore, so they had to eat two more today.
"Well, it's time to go back!" To be honest, Tang Ping hadn't left his convenience store for a long time even in modern times. He didn't expect that after arriving in Datang, he actually went on business abroad. It took almost half a month.
"Okay, now we have a good relationship with Tang and Yue. It is estimated that I will return to Chang'an to report on my work in the near future. We will see you in Chang'an then!"
Li Xuanba is not a hypocritical person, and now as long as the Tang Dynasty survives this locust plague, it will first target the chaotic Turks in the northwest.
Now several Turkic princes have gained the support of Tang, Tubo and Dayan respectively after the death of Jili Khan, and they are fiercely fighting in the country.
Even though they know that the help from these countries is not well-intentioned, they are already in trouble. If anyone is killed by other brothers, there is only one way to die. Therefore, if you drink poison to quench your thirst, you have to drink two more sips first to kill your other brothers before planning for the future. .
Naturally, an immortal general like Li Xuanba could no longer stay on the temporarily peaceful Tangyue border.
The road back to Chang'an is quite long. When Tang Ping drove here, he could cover dozens of kilometers in an hour.
But when he returned, his pickup truck could no longer run the entire distance, so he pulled over the large cart that had been prepared long ago and was pulled by several pack horses.
Tang Ping, on the other hand, began to learn horse riding under the guidance of Lao Cui and Lao Du.
"Sir, what are you afraid of? Can this horse run as fast as your big iron cart?" Lao Cui said angrily when he saw Tang Ping cowering.
"Can it be the same? I wore a seat belt in the car, and the whole thing was wrapped in an iron box. If I were to fall down right now, I would lose arms and legs!" Tang Ping grabbed the reins tightly. The legs are also firmly clamped on the horse's belly.
Perhaps it was because Tang Ping's nervous movements made his horse a little uncomfortable, and it began to struggle instead.
"Who... Come and listen..." Tang Ping was shocked. As for riding a horse, he was just led by someone to take pictures twice when he and Gou Shaoqun traveled to the desert. Now he was riding on the road like this. It was really hard for him.
After teaching for a while, when they saw that they were almost out of touch with the convoy pulling the carts, Lao Cui said helplessly: "Sir, why don't we forget it and you and Xiao Luo ride in the cart together!"
Tang Ping got into the carriage where Xiao Luo was sitting with a dark face, and bursts of laughter came from outside the carriage.
This kind of Tang Ping is down-to-earth. He has things he doesn't know and people he likes and dislikes. In this way, everyone really feels that except for his special origin, in many cases he is no different from everyone else.
The scene on the way back made Tang Ping feel a little relieved. There were already a lot of locust larvae in the fields, and some had evolved into adults.
But at the same time, there are also many chickens and ducks pecking away at these insects that are about to bring disaster to the world, and there are also many women, children and old people fighting these pests.
In addition, the food traded from East Vietnam has been distributed to various places from Baozi City. Tang Ping believes that even if the locust plague comes this time, not many people in the Tang Dynasty will go hungry.
And thinking that all of this had something to do with himself, he actually started to get a little excited.
Still a hundred miles away from Chang'an, Tang Ping met his old acquaintance-Li Jing.
"General Li, long time no see!"
"Tang Gongzi has made great contributions to Dongyue this time as an envoy!" Yao Yuanzhi had already compiled a book and spread it to Chang'an about the specific details. At that time, many people were wondering why a Wannian County prince who had never heard of it was sent as an envoy to Dongyue. All the officials were also shocked by the result of the joint negotiation between Tang Ping and Yao Yuanzhi.
"General Li is joking, people don't know, don't you know?" Tang Ping shook his head. This mission was actually mainly due to the pressure and benefits that Tang Dynasty gave to Dongyue. Although his own role was also crucial, another person People may not be able to achieve similar results if they go.
"Does General Li have a mission when he comes today?"
"Of course there is, I'm just here to pick you up, hahaha!" Li Jing laughed boldly, and the soldiers he brought slowly began to change directions and formed a guard formation.
This is all Li Shimin's explanation. This time Tang Ping went to Dongyue as an envoy, and he made great achievements anyway. It is unrealistic to want him to hide in Shanghe Village, so let's just welcome him back to Chang'an with great fanfare. Even if someone has any ideas, they will be cautious.
And not only Li Jing came, but Fang and Du were also waiting here when they arrived fifty miles away from Chang'an.
Tang Ping is now very convinced by the two of them. Fang Moudu Duan is really not bragging. This time he went on a mission to Dongyue, and the two of them taught him many things before departure.
After greeting the two of them politely, the team returning to Chang'an further expanded.
"Master Tang went to Dongyue this time. Have you ever felt the difference between Dongyue and the Tang Dynasty?" The two of them did not get in their own car, but got into Tang Ping's car.
Xiaoluo was about to go out, but Tang Ping held her back. The road was so dusty, why did she want to go out to eat dust?
And he thought that Fang and Du would have nothing particularly secret to talk to him about.
Sure enough, after getting on the bus, the two of them acted like they were having a family affair. Each of them took a bottle of drink from the Tang Ping carriage, opened it skillfully and took a sip.
"If you want to talk about the difference, it should be that Dongyue is richer!" Tang Ping sighed. Although Fuyang is the capital of Dongyue, the people there should be richer than people in other places, but compared with Chang'an horizontally , from what Tang Ping knew, the people in Fuyang were much better than the people in Chang'an, whether in terms of clothing or food.
"Yes, Dongyue should be the richest among all the countries, but we, the people of the Tang Dynasty, still have some difficulty even having enough to eat. It is really our fault and our ministers' fault!"
