It's late at night.

Li Mu was eating the jerky that Zepi 'rewarded', and he subconsciously compared it with the beef jerky that Cheng Yanjin gave him, and found that this jerky that he didn't know what kind of meat it was, the taste was really better.

After studying it, he understood. In fact, it is not a matter of meat, but a matter of practice, Cheng bites the jerky of the Jin family, which is 'dried' or 'coaxed dry', while Zepi's jerky is pure 'air-dried', and it should be torn up more into 'strips', and the taste is more chewy.

The horse snorted suddenly, Li Mu glared at him, and the horse seemed to understand what it meant, and snorted several times unconvinced.

"Forget it, I don't care about you."

Li Mu muttered and took a sip of wine.

Compared to this jerky, this wine is really spicy throat, not the kind of spicy throat with a high degree, but too difficult to drink. Li Mu can be sure that this wine is definitely not made from common grains in the Central Plains, but he can't analyze what it is made of, after all, he has mixed in the Western Regions, and he doesn't know what crops grow there.

As a pioneer general, Li Mu's treatment is much better than that of others, at least he can follow a place to live, and he doesn't have to be like an ordinary Turkic soldier, a leather roll drilled in, and hiding in a leeward place is considered to be overnight.

The place where he lives now is a 'borrowed' house, Zepi lives in the main house, and he lives in the 'firewood house'. At this time, the lights in the main room were still on, Li Mu was very curious, what Ze Pi was doing, when he was watching coldly, he found a strange thing, just now the front sentry came back to report, saying that the front was indeed a landslide, and the road was impassable. As the coach, Zepi, logically speaking, should be worried, but he didn't, but he looked relieved.

Such a strange move made Li Mu even more interested in this person.

A Turkic who can speak Chinese, among the Turks, especially the Western Turks, is already an outlier, and he is doing this again, does he not want to attack the Tang Dynasty?

But why is that? He's a Turk, and there's no way to fake that. The nose and eyes are there, and no one believes him when he says he is from the Tang Dynasty.

What's going on?

At this time, in the main room, Zepi and several young Turkic generals were conspiring.

"I thought that this battle with Datang would be inevitable, but I didn't expect that Changsheng Heavenly Mercy would see that such a thing happened, it could be delayed for at least ten days and eight days, and I asked the sons and daughters to slow down and clean up the road, dragging it out, and it really can't be delayed."

"Yes, the hateful Yakhu Khan, he forced us to be pioneers, what pioneers, isn't it just to send us to death? Drain us all and they'll be happy. ”

"Alas, who made us Ashina's sons, it's strange that Ye Hu is willing to let us go!"

These people are very strange, they are all the same as Zepi, obviously Turkic, but they speak Chinese to communicate, Zepi has been listening to everyone's complaints and did not make a sound, everyone saw that he did not speak, they all looked at him strangely, then he spoke, said: "Brothers, I really don't hide it, when I got here, I suddenly had an idea." It's just that when I say this, I have a huge stake, so I'm a little hesitant. ”

Everyone looked at each other and said, "We are all like brothers, what can't we say?" Do you still treat us as outsiders? ”

Ze Pi pursed his lips and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll say it." He looked around at the crowd and said, "Brothers, I think this is a good opportunity!" ”

The crowd couldn't understand: "What a good opportunity?" ”

"Now that we are separated from the Chinese army, it will take at least ten days for the people and horses of the Khan to arrive, and this place is only five hundred miles away from Gaochang and Dingxiang, and only six or seven hundred miles away from Yanqi, if we can send a few people to climb the mountain, send a letter to the Tang Dynasty and Yanqi, and borrow the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to welcome Ashina Ni back and respect him as the Khan, and the two countries can also stop the army, wouldn't it be very good?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened, they didn't expect Zepi to have such courage!

After a long time, someone finally spoke: "Your idea is not bad, it's just that no matter how bad the Yehu Khan is, we are all the people of the Immortal Heaven, how can we cooperate with the Tang Dynasty?" The Tang people see us as enemies, so how can they help us? If the Tang people cheat and pretend to agree, but in fact they want to see us infighting, it will be very bad at that time. ”

Another person answered, "I think I can give it a go!" Ni Yu and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty once became brothers and worshiped the immortal heaven together. The reputation of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we have also heard of it in the Western Regions, he is a hero, I believe he will not do despicable things. The fate of the Western Turks cannot be in his hands, if he acts according to his will, it is better to die! ”

Everyone agreed, and they all looked at Zepi and asked, "What are you going to do?" This matter is very involved, and if it leaks out, we can't afford it. ”

Ze Pi smiled and said, "I didn't prepare yet, but just now I met a mute who couldn't speak, and this matter has an eyebrow." I'm going to let this dumb guy deliver the letter. ”

"Letter?" Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, and said: "The letter is not successful, if the letter is found, it is also evidence, and it is useless to be dumb." ”

"No, I'm not going to write a letter, but to let this dumb person write."

"How do you make a dumb person write?"

"I told the mute the message I wanted to convey, and let the mute write it after seeing people. If the mute is caught, what he writes cannot be counted. ”

"But what if the Tang people don't believe in this dumb man?"

Ze Pi's tone was suffocated, and he was stunned: "That's ...... There is no choice but to resign yourself to fate. ”

The room was quiet again, and they all sighed in unison, yes, such a big matter has to be solved by fate, and it really depends on the meaning of immortality.

"Without further ado, when it is decided, it is decided!" Ze Pi gritted his teeth, slapped open a wine jar next to him, the aroma of wine came out, and everyone subconsciously showed a look of intoxication, this is a fine wine from Chang'an that was 'borrowed' from the warehouse in Camel Valley, and Ze Pi just found it along the taste. When he was in the Western Regions, he had also heard of it, but with his status, it was not enough to drink such a fine wine in the Western Regions, and the stock was too small.

Ze Pi carefully poured a bowl for everyone, raised it and said: "Today's matter, Changshengtian testifies, if anyone leaks half a word, he will die with an arrow through his heart!" ”

"Immortal Heaven testifies!"
