Chapter 286: The Turkic Bounty
Li Ke motioned to the guards to tie up the Turks nailed to the tree.
"You killed all these people alone?"
Dahu replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the one outside the back mountain was defeated by the county marquis. ”
I have to say that the fate of these Turks was miserable, and they looked like they were played to death by the superb archery skills of the Great Tiger.
Except for one who was killed by an arrow in the throat, the rest were killed by several arrows.
Li Ke looked at the expressionless big tiger and felt a little clear in his heart.
In the village I heard about the past of the big tiger, who joined the army at a very young age, and his relatives died at the hands of the Turks, and since then he inherited the military position, this child has a hatred for the Turks in his heart.
Li Ke said to Dahu: "You go back, we will clean it up here, and these Turks will be handed over to the government." ”
The big tiger then turned around and left.
Li Zheng was standing at the foot of the back mountain, and when he saw the big tiger coming back, he said, "How is it, are you injured?" ”
"Nope." Dahu put the compound bow on his back, "If it weren't for Zhonglang to find out, I don't know what these Turkic people of unknown origin want to do in the village." ”
Li Zheng said to Li Ke, who was dragging the corpse down the mountain: "Ask the living, how did they get in, it seems that the guard of our village is a little lax." ”
"It's my dereliction of duty, I'll interrogate you well, don't worry." Li Ke took people.
The big tiger watched the escort leave with the people and asked in a low voice, "Doesn't the county marquis want to know where these Turks are coming from?" ”
Li Zheng touched the big tiger's head and said, "Don't inquire if you shouldn't ask, this time you killed these Turks to remember your credit." ”
"General Xie Zhonglang." Dahu changed his words again and said, "General Xie." ”
Walking on the way back to the horse circle, Li Zheng said to Dahu: "This time the Turks will come, and next time they may come back, it seems that the security in Chang'an is not so good." ”
Dahu spoke: "The Turks like horses, and if it weren't for the fact that some county marquis saw the strangeness, we are afraid that we would not have found these Turks." ”
"Thankfully." Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Your archery skills are very powerful. ”
Dahu said with some pride: "I have learned from the generals since I joined the army, those Turks are very stupid, they will only go on a rampage. ”
Cheng Chumo led people to patrol the village to see if there were any other fish that slipped through the net, not even the bottom of the Jingyang River.
After Li Tai came back, he was also a little scared when he heard this, "How could this Turkic come to the village?" ”
Li Zheng said helplessly: "There is a mistake in Jingyang's precautions, if it is not discovered in time, it is impossible to tell what these Turks will do, and they will have to be more careful in the future." ”
Li Tai gobbled up his food and ate his meal, "Do you want me to mobilize more people from my father to take care of Jingyang." ”
"No need." Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand and said, "Jingyang's guards are enough. ”
Li Tai nodded and didn't say much, after all, this is Li Zheng's own territory, and it's not good to ask too much.
These days, Lee Tae has been doing hellish weight loss at the construction site of the road.
The sweat of every day soaked his clothes, and it could be seen that Li Tai was a little thinner than before.
Li Tai looked at the bronze mirror and said, "Li Zheng, did you say that I have lost weight." ”
Li Zheng also glanced at the bronze mirror, and then at Li Tai and smiled disdainfully: "Heh, not at all." ”
Li Taihu looked at his face in the bronze mirror suspiciously and said to himself, "Is it really not thin at all?" ”
"The so-called no accumulation of steps can lead to thousands of miles, and His Royal Highness King Wei has to redouble his efforts." Li Zheng said.
Li Tai nodded, "I'll try." ”
After saying that, Li Tai also raised his fist, as if he was swearing.
In fact, Li Tai did lose some weight, but he couldn't see it by looking in the mirror every day, and as for saying this, it was just to let this fat man work harder, and one more person to build the road could speed up the progress.
Li Zheng thought to himself and nodded.
It is possible to pay one person less and save a huge amount of money.
Free labor does not have to be in vain.
It can also be used justifiably.
Three days later, Li Ke brought the news, and Li Zheng listened to it while frying melon seeds.
"Those Turks are the subordinates of the early Jieli Khan, and they have driven them out of the tribe because of their stubbornness, and they have come to seek revenge on you."
"Looking for revenge on me?"
Li Ke added: "In the early years, it was your strategy that allowed the Tang Dynasty to take Yinshan, and now the Turks who don't know your name, Jieli's prestige in the Turks is good, and even now there are many people who only serve Jieli, and many people regard you as a great enemy of life and death." ”
"I just moved my mouth." Li Zheng struggled to stir-fry the melon seeds.
Li Ke nodded and said: "That's right, you just moved your mouth and let the Turks be defeated." ”
"Damn!" Li Zheng wanted to scold.
Li Ke said again: "It is said that many Turks today are secretly bidding thousands of yuan to reward your head. ”
"Excessive!" Li Zheng fried a handful of melon seeds vigorously.
Li Ke nodded approvingly, "It's really too much. ”
"My head is worth thousands of dollars, I look down on people too much!"
“……”
Li Zheng wrapped his hand in a cloth and took out a melon seed and knocked it open the shell, the crispy melon seed meat was very good.
Packed out this pot of melon seeds, took out the kitchen and said to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu taste the melon seeds I fried, the original flavor is no additives." ”
"How do you eat this?"
Li Zheng skillfully picked up a melon seed, knocked it open with his teeth, and ate the melon seed flesh in the melon seed, knocking it one by one.
While shaking the fan in his hand while crossing Erlang's legs, Li Zheng sighed: "This feeling is too long. ”
Li Ke learned from Li Zheng's appearance and laboriously knocked on the melon seeds and asked suspiciously: "How did you do it so skillfully." ”
Li Zhi said to Li Ke: "Look at my movements. ”
Li Ke watched Li Zheng skillfully swallow melon seeds again, and tried it himself.
After coming down a few times, Li Ke has also become a lot more proficient, and he will learn it as soon as he learns.
It seems that eating melon seeds is an innate ability of the Central Plains people.
Li Ke kept knocking on the melon seeds and couldn't stop at all, "The melon seed meat is very crispy, why don't you peel all the melon seeds and eat the melon seed flesh one by one." ”
Li Zheng said disdainfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Shu doesn't know anything, but the mystery of melon seeds lies in one word." ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Zheng knocked another melon seed, "If this melon seed only has melon seed meat, then it will be less fun to knock melon seeds, does His Royal Highness the King of Shu think what he said is right?" ”
Li Ke knocked the melon seeds puzzled, one after another, and poured a sip of tea and knocked it with some dry mouth.
Half an hour later, the big tiger also joined the team of knocking melon seeds, and a very rhythmic sound of knocking melon seeds echoed next to the horse circle.
Melon seeds seem to have a kind of magic that makes people not want to stop at all, comparable to peanuts.
At this time, if the scenery in front of them was more vivid, the three of them might be more vigorous.
