Chapter 102: VII. The Life of a Spy

Hesa spent more than half a year of his life, the fastest time in his life. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Together, who went by the alias Barr, was able to return to the capital city of Chang'an because he and Wang Hanxin had become brothers, and although he and his companion Temeng declined their request to join Wang Hanxin's command, they still lived in Wang Hanxin's Dingxi General's Palace.

In addition to practicing martial arts and discussing tactics with Zhou Siyi, Chen Shihua, and Chen Shijie brothers every day, he also taught the orphans adopted by Wang Hanxin to practice martial arts.

Every place in Chang'an City is full of novelty and interest for Hesa, whether it is its magnificent architecture, or the grand pattern, the dazzling array of goods and countless treasures, not to mention, even the dress of the residents who come and go on the street is also unimaginable in Hesa in Tuqi.

Of course, Hesa also has its own preferences, such as Chang'an's fine wine. Compared with the strength of milk wine, Hesa prefers the mellow aroma of the wine of the country of silk, and there have been many nights when Hesa has been drunk and lying in the wine jar until dawn. And the girls in Chang'an City also made Hesa feel intoxicated, and couldn't help themselves, the women of the Silk Country lacked the strong and strong women on the grassland, and they were not as heroic and cheerful as the Qiang girls, but the slender figure and Qianqian jade hands were something he couldn't dream of on the grassland.

He always felt as if he was living in a dream, and gradually he realized that something was wrong, because if he continued like this, he would lose the spirit of a prairie man, and be content with this leisurely life.

After realizing this, Hesa realized that his brother Temon's condition seemed to be worse than his own, and Themon's mental state was getting worse day by day, which made Hesa very worried. He knew that Timon was completely different from himself, strictly speaking, he was just Timon's entourage, and the main purpose of the two of them was to understand the politics of the Silk Country, which meant that Timon was basically responsible for all the things he was thinking about, and since his brother was in trouble, even if he couldn't help as a brother, he should at least express his condolences. So Hesa found an opportune opportunity to express his concerns to Temon.

After hearing his words, Teemon raised his head and looked at him with bloodshot eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you for your concern, brother. It's a pity that you can't help me, and no one can help me. ”

"Why does my brother say this, even if my brother can't help you, if you tell me, at least you won't be so aggrieved."

Seeing that he was so sincere and unwilling to live up to this sentiment, Teemon said: "The Great Khan has sent us here for two purposes, one is to understand as much as possible how the country of Silk is governed, which my brother has not dared to say to know all these days, at least seven or eight times out of ten; The second is to come up with a way of governance that is suitable for Tuqi, so as to change the situation that my Tuqi is far behind the country of silk politically, and the more I think about it, the more distressed I become, just like being stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate myself, no matter what I do, it will not work. ”

"How can there be such a thing, brother, you can't solve it in your mind?"

Teemon sighed and said: "Brother, I also used to call myself a wise man, but you must know that this set of governing methods in this silk country has been refined by countless generations of wise men in the silk country to have today's situation. ”

Hesa nodded and said, "Brother is right, but we just need to learn from them, so why do we have to surpass them?" ”

"You're on point, brother. The problem is that there is no law. If you think about it, in addition to fighting and plundering, we only have animal husbandry, and the food we eat and the clothes we wear on weekdays all come from this. Strictly speaking, the Turks only have two industries: animal husbandry and warfare, and ordinary Turks don't do anything but these two things, right? ”

"Well, yes, that's what I am."

"Let's go back to our Tuqi land, this land is an endless grassland, if we change to grow food, not to mention that our people don't know how to plant at all, where do the seeds come from? Where do farm tools come from? Where can I remake the farm tools if they are damaged? We don't have towns, we don't have villages, we don't even have a fixed place to live, and if we change to farming, then we have to change all our habits, do you think it's possible for us to change this in a country as big as a Turkista? ”

Hesa opened and closed his mouth for a long time before he said, "That, that, isn't that Zuoxian King Ye'er governing the Western Regions first?" The people there don't live like we do, maybe we can make them change and rule the land better. ”

"It's good that you think of that, it's a solution," said Themon, smiling approvingly at Hesa, "but unfortunately the problem is still not solved." Even if this reform succeeds, the politics of the two sides are still different, and they can only continue to govern according to their own habits, which will not be of greater help to the current situation of the Tuqi, at best it will only improve the economic situation of the upper class. ”

"Then we will take the land of the Silk Country, and then live here and rule here, won't it all be solved?"

"This is the least feasible one, brother. Let's take you as an example, you're having a pretty good time these days, aren't you? I heard that I went to a brothel a few times, and the girl in the country of silk is very good. ”

Hesa blushed suddenly: "I, I didn't do that kind of thing, I, I'm just going to see it." ”

Timon laughed and said, "I don't care what you're going to do, I just said how you feel when you arrive in Chang'an City and see this world of flowers?" Do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? ”

"No, no. I don't think it's as wide as our grassland, and you can ride your horses without worry. ”

"But you're still having fun, aren't you? I'm sure the vast majority of Turks think so. Just imagine, when the Tuqi people see this flower world in Chang'an, are they still willing to return to the grassland to graze? I'm afraid I'm just thinking about how to enjoy this dream-like place. At that time, they will be transformed into gentlemen as humble and courteous as the people of this silk country, and then our Tuqi nation will completely disappear from this land; If they refuse to change, they will also lose their current fierceness and become a group of people who do not want to make progress. ”

Hesa did not answer, and he could not answer at all. But he understood the meaning of Timon's words, that is, even if Tuqi defeated the Silk Country, or even destroyed the Silk Country, he would not be able to solve this problem, so what else could be done to make Tuqi better? The future of their mission is bleak. (To be continued.) )
