In the case of Malu County, it was the Budak Ministry that had previously submitted to it, and sent a large number of tributes such as tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, camels, thousands of horses of various colors, twenty Slavic slave girls, fifty Persian slave girls, and one hundred Kipchak slave girls.

It was also after they submitted to the Governor's Palace of Khorasan that Li Chengji gave them the land on the right bank of the Caspian Sea. And in terms of weapons and materials, give a certain amount of support. Beggar Aheima took advantage of this opportunity to expand his land on the right bank of the Caspian Sea.

Many tribes were annexed by them, and livestock and women were taken away. In a very short period of time, it has developed into a large tribe with a population of more than 10,000 and countless livestock. Their nomadic lands now stretch south to the northern shore of the Alborz Mountains and north to the Mangystau Mountains. It is bounded by the Aral Sea, the Karakum Desert and Khorezm to the east and the Caspian Sea to the west.

Khorezm's Jade Dragon Jiechi is always facing their threat.

In later generations, its territory included most of the Mangystau Oblast in Kazakhstan, the western part of the Republic of Karakalpakstan in Uzbekistan on the Stillt Plateau, and the Balkan Oblast in Turkmenistan.

In terms of area, it is not small.

However, Beggar Aheima did not become proud because of this. Instead, he remained respectful to the Governor's Palace of Khorasan. It was also his sober head that he knew that the Budak Ministry could develop like this, and the support of the Khorasan Governor's Office was indispensable.

Therefore, in the case of a great harvest, a large number of tributes were sent to show loyalty.

In the end, although the current territory is not small, there are many enemies around. There was not only Khorezm in the west, but also the Kupchak Khanate in the north. For example, many of the tribes annexed by the Budak Ministry were subject to the Khanate.

Including their territory on the Stillt Plateau, which was the sphere of influence of the Kupchak Khanate.

Although they were before, they also belonged to the part of the Khanate. But now that they have made their allegiance to the Governor's Palace of Khorasan, it is a kind of betrayal.

So neither Khorezm nor Khpchak Khanate will have a good face for their tribe.

This situation made them hug the thighs of the Doge's Palace even more.

Their tribute had now been sent to Nissa, the westernmost county of Malu County. And the messenger who saw him off also conveyed to the governor's palace a request for iron and horses. In addition, there are some fireworks, which are also on the list.

In the end, on the battlefield of Nishapur, the fireworks during the siege of the city were too spectacular. So much so that they believe in God and directly regard it as a gift from God. So hopefully get some so that more tribes can be subdued.

As the 'watchdog' of the Khorasan Governor's Palace, Li Chengji naturally couldn't watch them be wiped out by Khorezm and the Kupchak Khanate. But iron tools and fireworks, both are military supplies. Even though the Governor's Office has made a major breakthrough in the research and development of firearms.

But fireworks still can't be handed over so easily.

The Chief of Staff did not give clear advice, but only said something deliberate. It may be related to military affairs, so I don't dare to criticize it too much.

Li Chengji put down the fold first, stood up and stretched.

At this moment, two figures, one large and one small, came from outside the door. Li Chengji looked at it, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Second brother!" , Li Chengxue took Zhang Zhiqin's hand, and said in a milky voice.

Since being rescued by Shaharu, Li Chengxue and Li Xiao were handed over to Princess Degunaba by Shaharu. He was then identified and escorted secretly.

Along with this, there was news of the uprooting of the Assasin stronghold in the Qarakhanids.

Such a big favor, Li Chengji did not say that it was impossible. So he personally gave Princess Degunaba a promise and was willing to help Princess Degunaba fulfill a wish at any time.

Provided, of course, that the interests of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan are not harmed.

At the same time, Tuwugedi, who had been imprisoned, was also happily handed over to Degunaba. It can be regarded as completing the transaction of the previous Assasin stronghold.

Li Xiao and Li Chengxue also lived a peaceful life.

The so-called good things come in pairs!

The news of Li Shichang and Li Chengye's escape also came from the north very quickly. In this regard, however, the Division has lost a significant number of staff. Even Li Dayi, the hall master of Balasagon stronghold, was captured by Yelu Zizheng, and his life and death were unknown.

But at the critical moment, fortunately, he was helped by Abdul, a wealthy businessman in Daliao. In the name of the caravan, Li Shichang, Li Chengye, and important deacons and disciples of the Ministry of Affairs were sent out of Balasagon. In the manor on the outskirts of Tarath (now Taraz, Kazakhstan), he found someone to treat Li Shichang and recuperate.

Not long ago, he was personally sent to Malu by Abdul.

It's just that Li Shichang injured his spine, making him unconscious below the waist disc.

This means that Li Shichang can only spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair in the future.

Although this news is not good news, it is the best ending compared to human life.

Therefore, when Li Shichang came to the outside of Malu City, he immediately rushed over to greet him. It wasn't until the moment they met that the hanging heart finally let go.

It's just that after a big change, Li Shichang's will is relatively depressed. In the end, he used to be a high-powered and powerful minister of the Great Liao, but now he has become a half-paralyzed 'waste' who needs to be taken care of, and he can't accept it in his heart.

Li Xiaoshi has been by his side, trying his best to comfort.

In order to let Li Shichang take care of his body, Li Chengji has built a courtyard outside Malu City. It's a quiet place and it's well guarded. In terms of safety, it can be regarded as worry-free.

But now except for Li Xiao, Li Shichang doesn't want to see anyone. For Li Chengxue, Li Xiao also neglected to take care of it. So Li Chengji took him to the mansion and took care of it personally.

It's just that somehow, Li Chengxue likes Zhang Zhiqin very much. So now I always stick to Zhang Zhiqin. For this reason, I also went to Zhangfu every once in a while to live. Zhang Timing's family also loves Li Chengxue very much, so living in their house, Li Chengji is also relieved.

Seeing them here today, Li Chengji laughed unconsciously.

Like the first meeting, Zhang Zhiqin is still wearing a light blue skirt. It seems that she liked this dress very much, and when she left the bandits' den, she always carried it with her. The color on it has faded a little due to the washing. Although the corners have been carefully sewn by craftsmen, they still can't hide the traces of damage.

However, when worn on Zhang Zhiqin, it is more plain and elegant.

gives Li Chengji the feeling that it is like a delicate flower blooming quietly.

The hair is coiled into two rings that stand on top of the head. The rest of the hair hangs down, like a swallowtail. Lee Seung-ji knows this hair ornament, which is called "double-ring updo".

Han female slaves bought from the Xia Kingdom can often see this kind of hair ornament.

Li Chengxue's words are tied with pigtails and wearing a skirt like Zhang Zhiqin. The white and tender face is fleshy, revealing petite cuteness.

At this moment, he opened his big eyes and said to Li Chengji: "Second brother! Cher wants to hang out. ”。
