Chapter 264: Ember (2)

"Elcirea, Dolma, Maribeg, why are you here?"

When the girl took the little girl's hand, followed by two men, and walked into his bedroom, Liu Ji finally showed a long-lost smile.

"I asked people to send the letter, you talk slowly." Zeng Jiuniang explained, and left the room with the people in the house.

When Elsilea saw him, she couldn't believe her eyes, and as soon as the other party left, she let go of the little girl's hand and threw herself beside him, Liu Ji reluctantly hugged her, and said with a smile.

"You seem to be heavier, I can't hold it anymore."

The girl choked and didn't speak, he stroked the soft green silk, and continued: "It's okay, it's just that I'm hungry for a few meals, and my body is weak, just rest." ”

The girl nodded again and again with red eyes, curled up in front of him, and reminded him of the situation when they met for the first time, and he was too scared to know why, but this time, he was worried about himself.

There were outsiders present, and Liu Ji couldn't do anything, so he beckoned and called Zhuoma over.

"Your Abba is fine, and may come over soon."

"Are we going back?" After a few months, Dolma seems to have grown taller again, but her face is still a little dark, and she only has a pair of eyes, which are shining.

"If I said that you would never be able to go back to that village after following me, would you be willing?"

The little girl frowned a little tangled, Liu Ji waited for her to think for herself, and turned to look at the two men who came with her, the one in front was Ma Li Qi dressed as a mountain man, and the one in the back was Kang Laosi.

The two of them, together with Elcirea, are the masters of several major forces in the territory of Nibora, and this time, of course, it will not be as simple as visiting the sick.

Liu Ji asked them to go a little, several people sat around his sickbed, the girl was still held in his arms, sobbing suppressedly, and the two men were also heavy-faced, but they already knew, and what they wanted to know now was what to do next.

"After the covenant is signed, the Tang people may withdraw, the Tubo people will not come back immediately, you should have one to two more years, of course, this is the worst outcome."

"In the Nibharata Mountains, when the Tibetans were the strongest in the past, they were not able to completely conquer and had to resort to gentle means, so with this buffer time, we can train a reliable team, this is the hiring plan I proposed before, still based on five thousand people, to make up for the loss of manpower this time, and tell them that they may be far away from home, but they will still follow me."

His words were to decide, and Ma Li sat there silently, nodding speechlessly when he heard his part, and Kang Laosi, who was in charge of the entire mercenary army, solemnly clenched his fists.

The Niborese mercenaries did not participate in the battle of Luoqicheng, because their identities were too sensitive, and the attack under Gongtang City, Liu Ji pushed it on their bodies, if they suddenly appeared under the city, it would cause the jealousy of Cheng Qianli and others, which was not conducive to the unity of the Tang people.

Moreover, given the situation at that time, it would be useless to have 5,000 more people, which was planned in advance.

Of course, during this time, Kang Laosi and the others were not idle, they helped Elsilea stabilize the domestic situation, suppressed some of the disgruntled old forces, and brought almost the entire country into his hands, so that he had more resources to call on.

The population of the Nibharats is quite large, and the withdrawal of 5,000 troops at a time will not cause much emptiness, Liu Ji wants to control the mountain people through this form, they are currently relatively strong, and Elsilea, who has just taken power, cannot compete with it for a while.

After talking about the military arrangement, Liu Ji helped the girl to sit upright, her face was a little red, her eyes were full of tears, obviously a heart, all on her body.

"Elsilea, in my absence, you have to maintain a good cooperative relationship with the Kazakhs, support them from all sides, there must be no internal strife, the Tibetan people will definitely try their best to provoke you to fight before launching a military offensive, so as to find an excuse for military intervention, what you have to do is to deal with it calmly, not to give the other party a truth, and at the same time to go to the Tang people for help."

The girl and Mari Qi listened to his admonition, and both nodded in response, the Tubo people gave them huge pressure, and this pressure also became the driving force for cooperation between the two sides, otherwise even if Liu Ji said that the sky was broken, it would be difficult to break the inherent barrier, after all, the two sides have a deep blood feud, and they can sit here calmly today, all relying on him to maintain.

Liu Ji won't stay here forever, the girl understands, and Mariqi also knows, so it is necessary for both of them to put things on the table and talk about it, as for those small frictions in private, they can only rely on the self-control of both parties.

After experiencing some changes in the city, Liu Ji can at least accept that he can't control everything, no matter how perfect the plan is, there will always be unpredictable accidents, and all he can do is to try to avoid such accidents.

Speaking of their affairs, Liu Ji turned to the last person, and Kang Laosi hurriedly stepped forward, so as not to make him speak too hard.

"Are your people ready?"

"It has been chosen, and the mountain people are very welcoming to this kind of cooperation, and they are vying to send the best young man in the village."

The casualties are not large, the income is considerable, of course welcome, Liu Ji said approvingly: "The follow-up matters must be kept up, so that they have no worries, but the risks must also be clearly explained." ”

"Well, my subordinates remember, are we going to pull out?" Kang Laosi was a little excited, he missed a big battle, and he couldn't sit still early in the morning.

"You take someone to go first, take Da Bolu back to Anxi Town, and bring some things back by the way." Liu Yu paused for a moment and continued: "Where I will go next, it is still unclear, when you arrive in Qiuzi City, you will stay in the name of the Nibora caravan and wait for my summons." ”

"The subordinates understand, so let's prepare."

Kang Laosi said that he would leave, and when he saw Mariqi and the little girl sitting there and couldn't figure out the situation, he stepped forward and dragged him again, and the two men went out one after another with a dazed Dolma, leaving the whole house to the two of them.

"El ......" Before Liu Ji's words were finished, a softness with temperature blocked his mouth.

The girl took the initiative unprecedentedly, and the two kissed passionately for a while, but Liu Ji always just held her body and did not make further movements.

"Miss me?"

"Hmm." The girl replied with a blushing face.

"It's a pity that I don't have the strength now, wait until I'm better, and then hurt you hard, okay?"

Liu Ji stroked her tender cheeks, the girl's eyes were amazingly bright, and she mustered up the courage to say what she said, which caught Liu Ji a little off guard, and surprised him even more.

"Don't move, let me come."
