Sun Wanrong, Li Kaigu, and Li Yanhuo all gathered in Li Qianzhong's big tent, and they were still discussing the issue of eating.

The bead-like wrinkles on Li Qianzhong's face deepened, and the knots formed by the two eyebrows were locked together.

"Chief, our food will last for ten days at most, and the Turks are still waiting for news from us! You've got to decide! Lust Valley said that as long as the leader agrees to form an alliance with the Turks, 10,000 stone of grain and pasture can be transported in three days! Sun Wanrong urged Li Quanzhong.

"I can't say yes!" Li Kaigu hurriedly said, "Chief, I don't think we can have any more dealings with the Turks. We have already submitted to the court of the Great Zhou, if we are to fight with the Turks again, isn't this stepping on two boats? Let's give the Turkic gift out of the country! ”

Sun Wanrong thought that Li Kaigu would become his ally, but he didn't expect him to sing against him at the critical moment, and he was quite unhappy.

His face suddenly pulled down, tense as if he had been brushed with a layer of paste, and glared: "You said a good thing, if you send the Turks away, will you want our people to starve to death?" The Great Zhou court? When did the Great Zhou court control our life and death? ”

Li Kaigu was about to refute Sun Wanrong, but he heard Li Quanzhong reprimand: "Don't quarrel, let me think again!" ”

Li Qianzhong felt that his head was about to explode, he rubbed his haggard face, and wanted to be quiet for a while, but he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Sun Wanrong and Li Kaigu stopped talking, and there was silence in the big tent.

The predicament faced by the Khitan people, Li Yanhuo also saw it.

At this moment, he is also very conflicted in his heart.

On the one hand, he, like Li Kaigu, also believed that one should not deal with the Turks.

But on the other hand, the imperial court was reluctant to provide disaster relief, and he was also very resentful in his heart.

His father was so difficult to choose, and Li didn't know what to say. He hated himself for not being able to share his father's worries.

At this moment, Li Qianzhong's personal captain suddenly came into the tent.

"Who let you in? Didn't you let you keep watch outside? Li Quanzhong roared angrily at the captain of his own army, and his voice rolled like heavy thunder, spreading far and wide

The captain of the pro-soldier was stunned, he didn't know why the leader was so angry, and stood there in a daze, feeling uneasy

。

However, Li Kaigu nodded slightly at the captain of the pro-soldiers, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there something urgent?" ”

Only then did the captain of the pro-soldier come back to his senses and saluted Li Qianzhong: "Chief, I am here to report to you that someone in Yingzhou City has brought us food?" ”

What the?

Someone is bringing grain?

When they are most helpless, someone will bring food?

Everyone in the tent couldn't believe their ears, and looked at the captain of the soldiers in a daze.

"Who's bringing the grain?"

"How much grain has been delivered?"

"Where are the people now?"

Li Qianzhong asked several questions to the captain of the pro-soldier in one breath.

Fortunately, the captain of the pro-soldier had already asked clearly, and he replied unhurriedly: "Leader, someone came to say that he is a businessman from Yingzhou City, named Lu Xiaoxian!" He brought 500 stone of grain, and he is now waiting outside the tent! ”

"Lu Xiaoxian?" Listening to the answer of the captain of the pro-soldiers, Li Kaigu and Li Yanhuo glanced at each other, and exclaimed in unison, "Could it be him?" ”

Li Quanzhong looked at the two of them and asked strangely, "What?" Do you know him? ”

Li Kaigu and Li Fuhuo nodded awkwardly.

Li Qianzhong sank his face, stared at Li Yanhuo and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

Li Shihuo didn't dare to hide it from his father, and told the story of the last time he met Lu Xiaoxian in Shenxian Town.

Sun Wanrong shouted on the side: "It turned out that it was the kid who set up a game last time to let you fight for wine, and he was inactive, don't worry, since he is here, I promise to come out for you in this tone!" ”

"Nonsense!" Li Qianzhong glared at Sun Wanrong, "When is this happening, you still have the leisure to talk about these things!" ”

Li Kaigu said on the side: "Chief, depending on the situation, Lu Xiaoxian wants to help us, but five hundred stones of grain is too little, and it can't solve the problem at all!" ”

Li Qianzhong shook his head: "You don't understand, this Lu Xiaoxian is not simple, he must have a deep meaning here!" ”

"Chief, do you see what's coming?" Li Kaigu asked puzzled.

Li Quanzhong groaned: "Listening to what you just said, he is not a businessman, just a gentleman in Yingzhou City. Now the price of grain in Yingzhou City has risen several times, and he brought 500 stone of grain to him, and the silver he spent

There must be no minority. What does this mean? He was throwing stones to ask for directions, and the five hundred stones of grain were just a sign of his sincerity. If I'm not mistaken, what else does he have in mind? ”

"What thoughts?"

Li Qianzhong shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

Li lost life on the side and said: "What's the point of guessing and guessing, call him in and ask, won't everything be clear?" ”

Li Qianzhong grinned and said, "That's right! Since the two of you have dealt with Lu Xiaoxian before, go and invite him into the account for me! ”

……

In the big tent of Ashina's competing stream, Lust Valley was pacing back and forth.

Ashina looked at the valley of desire, only to see him biting his lower lip, his brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes stretched, and his face was cloudy.

Recently, Tunyugu and Ashina Jingliu and others have been living in the Song Desert, and the Khitan people treat them like guests, providing the best tents, the best wine and food.

Since the last meeting, Li has never mentioned signing an alliance with the Turks, and he has not even shown his face again.

However, Lust Valley is not worried about this at all.

The Khitans had little food left, and as long as they couldn't solve the problem of eating, Tun Yugu firmly believed that Li Quanzhong would definitely compromise with him in the end.

Li Qianzhong did not show up, but these days, Tunyugu and Sun Wanrong have been fighting hotly, and with Sun Wanrong mediating it, it is estimated that Li Quanzhong will not last long.

Originally, everything was going well, but Lust Valley suddenly smelled a hint of bad signs.

On weekdays, only the subordinates sent by Li Qianzhong are waiting outside their big tent, and Tunyugu and the others can come and go freely, and it is no problem to go anywhere in the desert if they want. But today, the situation has changed, there are many Khitan soldiers guarding the big tent, and they want to leave the big tent but are politely dissuaded by the sergeants.

Ashina Jingliu finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, and anxiously asked Tunyugu: "Lord Tutun, what do you say the Khitans want to do?" ”

"I don't know!" Lust Valley shook his head, "Something should have happened!" ”

Ashina Jingliu was a little worried: "Will they detain us and then hand us over to the Great Zhou Imperial Court?" ”

"Not really!" Lust Valley muttered to himself, "What the hell is going on? It seems that I have to ask Sun Wanrong! ”
