Not getting that good horse made Li Shan very unhappy, in ancient times, a good horse was like a modern luxury car. If someone snatches your limited edition Lamborghini, the mood certainly won't be better.

Yang Miaoling looked at Li Shan's deflated appearance, and giggled: "Xianggong, isn't it just a good horse?" Don't worry, I'll ask someone to look for a horse and find you a better horse than this one. ”

Li Shan thought about it, anyway, he probably won't be able to go to the battlefield in the future, in fact, that horse may not be of much use when it comes to his own hands, and he also laughed at himself and said: "Forget it, if it's yours, someone else can't take it, and if it's not yours, you don't have to force it." Let's go."

After resting at the inn for a day, Li Shan planned to return to Chang'an the next morning. However, as soon as he went out, he was stopped by a person, and Ke Suowang still said with that grinning appearance: "Brother, oh no, I should call you Master Li now." Someone wants to see you, and asks Master Li to take a trip to see your face. ”

Li Shan smiled: "I have long felt that you are not an ordinary merchant, it seems that you have other identities." Who wants to see me, and if you don't report your life, it will seem too insincere, right? ”

Ke Suo said: "Lord Li doesn't need to worry, no one dares to do anything to Lord Li at the foot of this Jade Gate Pass, this radius is full of Tang Army." As for the name of the report, Master Li will naturally know when he goes, and it is an old acquaintance of the adult. ”

Li Shandao: "Okay then, lead the way." ”

Ke Suowang led Li Shan to a wine house in the city gate, and when he saw the two guards in front of the wine house, Li Shan guessed who the person was.

The two men in front of the door were tall and tall, wearing fur clothes, long hair and beards, and they looked like Turks. And the only Turkic person Li Shan knows is the Turkic national teacher Dun Desire Valley. It's just that I don't know what the Turkic national teacher is doing here at this time, if it's just for himself, Li Shan doesn't believe it, if it's a coincidence, isn't it too coincidental?

Sure enough, when he entered the wine house, Li Shan saw a lot of Turkic soldiers standing in the room, and it was the familiar face sitting in the middle. ”

Li Shan hugged him without hesitation, and said, "National Teacher, how can I meet you here so coincidentally?" Didn't you come to me? Or have you been sending someone to follow me? ”

Li Shan looked at Kesuowang on the side, he now understood that Kesuowang was not a Qiuzi person, but a Turkic person, presumably when he was in Liangzhou, the news reached the Turks.

Dunyugu said: "Lord Li, don't get me wrong, we definitely didn't follow Lord Li, Ke Suowang is our Turkic merchant on the Silk Road, and he is also my subordinate, this time I met Lord Li by chance, it just so happened that I was also patrolling the border near Yumen Pass, and I received the news of Ke Suowang, and made a special trip to visit Lord Li." ”

Li Shan said with a smile: "Then I really want to thank the national teacher for his kindness, Li is ashamed." ”

Don Yugu said: "Lord Li still remembers the scimitar given to Lord Li by Viga Khan, which shows the intentions of our Turks, and we Turks will always uphold goodwill towards Lord Li. ”

Li Shan smiled and said: "Master Guoshi, I think you made a special trip, not just to say these words, but to get straight to the point." ”

Suddenly Yugu said: "Master Li has always been quick to talk, so I won't beat around the bush." I heard that Master Li seems to be quite unsatisfactory in Chang'an. has been degraded one after another, and now he is only in an idle position, which is really overkill. ”

Li Shandao: "What does the national teacher mean, don't you want to give me an official?" ”

Don Desire Valley waved his hand at the Turkic soldiers behind him, and one of the soldiers took out a brown paper scroll and handed it to Don Desire Valley, and Don Desire Valley said: "Lord Li, please see, the Viga Khan has made very favorable conditions for Lord Li." ”

Li Shan took the brown paper and unfolded it, and it was written: Li Shan is now the general of the Turkic Zuo, leading 50,000 troops, giving thousands of cattle and sheep, and unifying the Western Green Department.

There was also a letter from Viga Khan on this scroll, which would take effect as long as Li Shan received the edict.

Li Shan laughed and said: "General Turkic Zuo, Viga Khan is too exalted, Li Mou is a scholar, and he has not made any achievements in the Turks, and Li can't afford such a heavy reward from the Khan." ”

Suddenly Yugu said: "Master Li, I think you also understand by now that in Chang'an, it is difficult for a poor disciple without any background to get ahead. Even if Lord Li's talents are used again, it will only be a small errand to settle down, but if you are willing to come to the Turks, Viga Khan will not only be able to reuse Lord Li, but will also marry his daughter to Lord Li, and Lord Li's future in the Turks will be limitless. ”

Sure enough, it is a very tempting condition, and Li Shan is a little tempted, but he is tempted, and Li Shan has no intention of joining the Turks.

"Master Guoshi, Li is not used to eating Turkic mutton, so forget it. Thank you Viga Khan for your kindness, and I will apologize to him in person if I have the opportunity in the future. ”

Saying that, Li Shan got up to leave, and the two big men behind him took out their knives and drank: "Li Shan, you kid don't lift up, it's your blessing that Khan looks up to you so much." ”

As soon as this person drew his knife, everyone else in the room also pulled out their knives one after another, slowly approaching Li Shan.

Li Shan didn't stop his movements because of this, he still stood up slowly and said, "Master Guoshi, is this what you mean by kindness?" I'm going to the Turks, won't I even have scum left? ”

Dunyugu's face turned cold and he drank: "Put away the knives and retreat." The Turkic soldiers in the room all put away their knives and stepped aside.

"Lord Li, this is my sincere suggestion, instead of doing nothing in Chang'an all your life, why not create a great cause in the Turks? Men are ambitious in all directions, why should they stick to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Shandao: "Master of the National Teacher, a manly husband should also have the so-called inaction, I have the blood of the Han people flowing in my body, do you think I will one day rush the sword to my compatriots?" That's impossible. ”

Li Shan said very firmly, thinking so in his heart, maybe he can't foresee the changes in the future, and he didn't expect that these words would become a prophecy, it's really a trick.

Dunyugu sighed: "Lord Li's observance of festivals like jade is admirable, so I won't force it too much." ”

Li Shan turned around and walked out of the wine house, and before he took two steps, he saw Dunyugu chasing him out again and said: "Lord Li, I heard that you fought with someone in Chengguan yesterday for a horse, but it didn't work, so give Lord Li a good horse today." ”

Dunyu Gu took out a tall black horse from the back of the wine house, and said with a smile: "This horse is called Jueying, it is a famous horse of Dawan, and the speed is extremely fast, can Lord Li like it?" ”

The horse's black fur was as smooth as mink's fur, and his expression was even more unruly, constantly scraping his hooves.

Li Shan's eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "It's really a good horse." If you don't have merit in the future, you will be deserved. ”

Donyugu smiled: "If the adult likes it, this horse will be given to the adult." Adults don't need to shirk, let me ask you a question, whether adults answer or not, this horse is counted as a reward, okay? ”

Li Shan's eyes rolled and he smiled: "Okay, Master Guoshi, please ask." ”

Don Yugu looked around, leaned forward and asked, "There are two kinds of raw materials for gunpowder invented by Lord Li before, which are sulfur and saltpeter, if my guess is correct, there should be another raw material, can Lord Li tell me the truth?" ”

Sure enough, there was still a request for me, it turned out to be thinking about the raw materials of this gunpowder, these guys are really stupid, they can't think of this. The hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is soft, Li Shan thought about it for a while, and said two words in the ear of Dunyugu.

Donyugu said with a happy face: "Thank you, Lord Li, Lord Li remember, the reward of Viga Khan will always be valid, as long as Lord Li is willing to come, the door of the Turks will always be open for Lord Li." (To be continued.) )
