The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast. The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low.

If there were no Turks around, Li Mu would be very happy to see such a magnificent view. But now, he was a captive, and there was no such leisure.

At the beginning of the year, Li Jing, the head of the march of the Tang Dingxiang Road, led a large army from Mayi to enter the Evil Yang Ridge and attacked Dingxiang City at night. Jieli Khan fled wildly, and it was not until two months ago that he was stationed near Iron Mountain. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty army was like a bamboo, the Turkic Jieli Khan had no choice but to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to beg for surrender. Tang Emperor Li Shimin accepted his surrender and sent envoys Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and others to visit him to pacify. Jieli Khan was worried that the Tang envoys would not be accustomed to eating Turkic food, so he selected a few people to be cooks in the captive camp, and Li Mu was one of them.

Why is Li Mu here? That's a long story.

When Li Jing led the army from Mayi to enter the Evil Yang Ridge, he recruited villagers to transport grain and grass for the army, and the money was paid daily. In order to make money, Li Mu signed up with several fellow villagers. The Tang army attacked Dingxiang City, he and other village warriors, escorted the grain and grass convoy to follow the rear of the army, but did not expect that Dingxiang City was quickly broken by the Tang army, the Turks fled in a hurry, and the grain and grass convoy they escorted just hit a group of panicked Turkic cavalry, so they were robbed by the Turkic cavalry together with these grain and grass. This group of Turkic cavalry has been taking them around for several months, and finally found Tieshan to join Jieli Khan, many people couldn't survive and died, Li Mu was hard-fated and barely survived. These messages are all the information that Li Mu got from the previous Li Mu's mind after he crossed over.

Today is the eighteenth day that he has traveled to the Tang Dynasty, and twenty days ago, the original Li Mu was unfortunately infected with wind cold. The Turks did not care about the life or death of a prisoner of the Tang army, and when they saw that he was sick and were afraid of infecting others, they threw him to the river and waited for death. The original Li Mu was killed, and Li Mu took over his body. After Li Mu woke up, he returned to the Turkic camp from the river. It's not that he didn't think about running away directly, but this day is vast and wild, where can he recognize the way, he is afraid that he will be eaten by wild wolves before he runs far, and his desire to survive forced him to return to the Turkic camp.

At this time, the Tang envoy came to visit, and the Turkic guards in charge of managing the captives asked who would cook. In order not to be driven away, Li Mu volunteered, so he became a cook in the Turkic camp.

As a traverser, Li Mu knows some history of the Tang Dynasty. Through the information collected in the past few days, coupled with the memories left by the original Li Mu, he judged that this should be the 'Battle of Yinshan', that is, the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Eastern Turkic War. As a major event of foreign wars in the early Tang Dynasty, he wrote this question in the history of the college entrance examination.

What happened should be like this, after the Weishui Alliance, Li Shimin wanted to take revenge all the time. Finally, three years later, he waited for his chance. Heavy snowfall fell from the sky, and countless livestock froze to death. Turkic civil strife, Xue Yantuo proclaimed himself Khan. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, Li Shimin will naturally not let go of this kind of good opportunity. Immediately sent the Sixth Route Army to attack the Turks. Li Jing and Li Ji each led a road of soldiers and horses, Li Jing stationed in the Evil Yang Ridge, broke through Dingxiang City, Li Ji sent troops to the clouds, and won a great victory in Baidao. Jieli Khan begged for surrender, and then Li Shimin sent Tang Jian and others to appease and order Li Jing's army to surrender. The later plot should be that Li Jing did not accept the surrender, and took advantage of the Turkic reception of the Tang envoy when the vigilance fell, and directly sent troops, the Turks were defeated, and Jieli Khan fled alone on a thousand-mile horse, and was later captured, surrendered, and served as an official in the Tang Dynasty for several years, and died of grief.

It is precisely because Li Mu knows this history that he cooks here with peace of mind and waits for Li Jing's army to come to his rescue. But I've been waiting for eighteen days, and I can't wait for the left, and I can't wait for the right. Could it be that there is a mistake in the history textbook and a mistake in the college entrance examination questions? Li Mu made up his mind to wait for two more days, if Li Jing's soldiers and horses were not there, he would find a way to escape.

Regarding the escape, Li Mu is confident. As a traverser, he naturally has to have some golden fingers, and Li Mu has such a one.

This cheat may have something to do with the fact that he was a game designer before he traveled back in time, and he was involved in designing an online game set in the Tang Dynasty. He is responsible for designing the secondary class synthesis system in the game, for example, if you want someone's secondary class to be forged, and if you want to make a Pu knife, how many iron blocks, how much charcoal, and how much stamina are needed, and then a little synthesis, the Pu knife will be forged, and he is responsible for the balance of data in this regard. Before the crossing, because the game was in a hurry for internal testing, he worked overtime for a week in a row and unfortunately died suddenly. Maybe it's because I wanted to complete this system until the end of my last life, and I was obsessed with it too much, and after crossing over, this deputy system was also brought over by him.

Li Mu didn't delve into how this system followed, because the crossing itself could not be explained.

At present, this system cannot be used, because Li Mu has no resources in his hands, and most importantly, no money. This is also what Li Mu regrets the most at present, in order to recover the game currency, he set up all the sub-jobs to use money when synthesizing. The higher the skill level, the more money you will use. He is penniless now, and the system can't be opened, so he can be regarded as shooting himself in the foot.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is useless to have an empty system. In the game, you can beat sheep in the novice village to burst copper coins, although there are sheep in the Turkic camp, but obviously they can't burst copper coins. However, if you want to get money, it is not that there is no way at all, the Turks have money, and the Tang envoys also have money. If Li Jing's army doesn't come two days later, Li Mu will take a risk and steal!

After stealing the money, activating the system, and then trying to figure it out, there is always a chance to escape. Now, let's hurry up and chop up the meat filling and make pies for Tang Envoy.

Li Mu raised his knives at the same time, and he was chopping the meat stuffing with a bang, when he suddenly heard the Turkic guard calling him. The Turks and the Tang Dynasty have been at war for many years, and there are not a few people in the border areas who can speak each other's words, but the accent is a little strange.

"The Tang envoy said that the dishes you made are good, so he asked you to come over and give a reward!"

"Huh?" Li Mu put down the scimitar in his hand, wiped his hands, and said, "This is coming!" ”

"Wait a minute!" The Turks suddenly grabbed Li Mu and whispered, "You crawled back from the river, but I took the risk to take you in." Now that you've been rewarded, you know what to do, right? ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Of course I know, no matter how much, it's all yours." ”

Only then did the Turks let go of him satisfied, and Li Mu followed the messenger to the door of the tent, and the messenger went in and bowed to him, signaling Li Mu to go in. There were no Turks in the tent, only an old man in a purple official uniform. Seeing that the rumor had brought Li Mu with him, the old man took out a piece of silver and handed it to him. Li Mu's eyes were straight, if he had this piece of silver, his system would definitely be activated.

The herald received the reward and went away gladly. The old man observed Li Mu's expression, saw that there was greed in his eyes, stroked his beard, and was a little more sure of today's events.

"Are you a Tang man?"

Li Mu had already guessed that this old man was Tang Jian, but he couldn't show it, and when he saw Tang Jian asking, he hurriedly said: "Tell the nobles, I am from Mayi County in the Tang Dynasty." When General Li Jing attacked Dingxiangcheng, he recruited villagers to transport grain and grass, and the villain signed up in order to earn some money. Not wanting to break the Turkic desert in Xiangcheng, the grain and grass convoy encountered a group of Turkic cavalry, and was captured, and came here for several months. ”

"I see." Tang Jian looked Li Mu up and down, and then asked, "Who else is in the family?" ”

Li Mu knew that Tang Jian was tempting, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense, recalled the memories in his mind, and replied honestly: "Only my mother, my father died in battle when I was young. I was captured for many days, and I missed it very much. My mother is not in good health and I don't know what is going on now. After that, Li Mu knelt on the ground and said: "I know that the noble person is the Tang envoy, please bring the villain with you when you leave, the great kindness is unforgettable." It's not a pity that the villain died, but the mother at home is still there, and without the villain, who will take care of it! ”

"I didn't expect you to be a filial son, good, good, good!" Tang Jian said hello three times in a row, got up and helped Li Mu up, and said: "I just wanted to see who the person who has been cooking for us in the past few days, but I didn't expect to meet a filial son, and I am very relieved." You guessed it right, I'm the Tang envoy. What is your name? ”

"Villain Li Mu."

Li Mu...... Well, I made a note of it. Saying that, Tang Jian glanced around, suddenly lowered his voice, and said quickly to Li Mu: "I respect you as a filial son, and I want to help you with this." But right now, I can't help if I want to. Jieli is treacherous and cunning, I have been waiting for half a month to come to the Turkic camp, and I have urged him to surrender several times, but Jieli is talking about him, and he just doesn't talk about business. I watched his actions and was worried that the surrender was fake, and the plan to delay the army was real. The fighter plane is fleeting and cannot be delayed. We are all under Jieli's surveillance, and we can't deliver information to the outside world. Today, I bribed the guards to summon you to see if you were a usable person. Since you are a filial son, there should be no problem with your conduct. I want to entrust you with great things, I don't know what you think? ”

"Big deal?" Li Mu's heart moved, and he asked, "I don't know what the noble person entrusted him with?" ”

"I have a letter that I want you to bring to General Li Jing."

Li Mu said: "The Turkic camp is heavily guarded, how can the villain escape, in case the matter is revealed, how can he die?" Noble, this is a life-long act! ”

Tang Jian said: "I know that this matter is nine deaths and one life, and I can't hide it, what I said in my letter is to tell Li Jing to quickly raise troops to attack." If Li Jing comes to attack, I will also lose my life. But in the face of the righteousness of the family and the country, what is the life and death of the individual. I will explain your situation in the letter, and as long as you can deliver it, I will not treat you badly. ”

Seeing that Li Mu was still hesitating, Tang Jian said again: "Li Mu, this is a life of nine deaths, and the risk is extremely high. But if you don't go, will you be able to survive in this Turkic camp? Even if she can live, who will take care of her mother at home? The eldest husband was born in the world, and it is a big thing, I don't force you, I hope you think deeply. ”

Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "I can do things, but there are two things, you need to answer me first!" ”

Tang Jian was overjoyed and said, "Say it quickly, everything the old man can do is up to you!" ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I don't know the way, and I don't know where General Li Jing is camping, and I need a map." ”

Tang Jian immediately said: "The old man can draw the map for you!" And what, once to say! ”

"I still need money!" Seeing Tang Jian's expression, Li Mu hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, nobles, although villains love money, their lives are not guaranteed, what is the use of asking for money." Just now the nobleman called me and said that there was a reward, and the Turks who were guarding me threatened me with this. I think since the Turks love money, why not bribe it, if you can create an opportunity for the villain to escape, it is worth spending some money. ”

Tang Jian nodded, untied a purse from his waist, put it in Li Mu's hand, and said, "Even if you use it, if you can do it, you will definitely have a hundredfold reward!" ”

Li Mu weighed the weight, there should be more than a dozen taels of silver. The money was definitely more than enough to bribe the prisoner, so he collected it immediately and said, "Please also ask your nobleman to write a letter." ”

Tang Jian immediately took out a pen and paper, Li Mu stretched out his hand to stop it, and said, "In order not to involve the nobles, please write a letter on the inside of the villain's robe." If the matter is defeated and died, the Turks should not find out. With that, Li Mu unbuttoned his robe, flipped it over and put it on the table.

Tang Jian showed a look of appreciation and said, "True righteousness." Hurriedly wrote the letter on the lining of Li Mu's robe, and after writing it, he drew a road map and a secret detention. Li Mu put on his clothes, saluted again, and said, "If I don't go back, the noble man will return to Tang on the day, please take care of my mother." ”

"Rest assured, your mother, I will raise it!"

Li Mu did a complete set of acts, and by the way, he helped the original Li Mu solve the problem of supporting the elderly. Now that the money is in hand, he has already made up his mind, open the system first, and find a way to escape. As for the delivery of the letter, I will send it by the way, and I am sorry if I don't stop by it, and my life is important!
