Chapter 42: The Messenger of Tuli
There are more than 2,000 felons in Luoyang, and there are still a few people missing.
Cheng Yanjin didn't expect King Qin to have this hand, this is worse than sending some old soft remnants! The old soft remnants can still be obedient, and if they can't fight, they won't cause any trouble. With this group of outlaws, Cheng Yanjin was afraid that he would run away before he arrived in Dunhuang.
"All anklets." Cheng Yanjin ordered.
"Why? Lao Tzu went to be a soldier to fight, not to be angry. A black-faced man with a meaty face shouted.
Every time Cheng bit his golden eyes, he waved the lance in his hand and split him in two, and the hole in his neck was bubbling with blood.
"Let me tell you, no matter how horizontal you were before, you will be a man with my tail between my legs under Lao Tzu's hands. Lao Tzu has a lot of blood on his hands, I don't care how many more, do you hear it?" Cheng Yanjin is not a soft-hearted person, if he doesn't kill these people, they can't understand how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has.
This large group of people walked up and made a lot of noise along the way.
In Dunhuang, Li Mingyue, who is nearly two years old, can already run in small steps. Zhu Bajie, who was behind his body, was protected behind him with a body of fat.
Li Chengzong saw Li Mingyue coming, hugged her, and said, "Run so fast, what should you do if you fall?"
Li Mingyue couldn't speak clearly, so she knew to call her father.
"King Jin, the little one is guarding behind!" Zhu Bajie said breathlessly.
"Look at your body, the two-year-old doll hasn't sweated so far, and you look at you, sweating profusely. I don't know, I thought you were caught in the rain!"
Zhu Bajie said: "The small one is guilty, and the small one eats too much."
Li Chengzong raised his foot and kicked Zhu Bajie, and said with a smile: "You don't eat too much, you move too little, if you don't send you to the barracks and practice with them."
"Practice, practice." Li Mingyue clapped her hands and repeated Li Chengzong's words.
"You can't embarrass King Jin, just practice by yourself in private." Zhu Bajie didn't want to go, didn't he want his life!
Li Chengzong said: "Look at you. Take Mingyue back into the house, and don't let her run around. ”
"Yes, King Jin." Zhu Bajie coaxed Li Mingyue to go back.
Wang Yang took the time to say, "King Jin, let's continue to practice?"
Li Chengzong said: "I've been practicing for many days, and I'm still doing it." Can you change it to something new?"
"King Jin, this Zama step is the basic skill, this..."
"I know, I know, if you don't practice martial arts, you will be empty when you get old. Practice, can't this king continue to practice!" Li Chengzong's legs are sore, and martial arts training is not a job that ordinary people can do. It's not that Li Chengzong didn't think that he wouldn't be able to become a master if he practiced again, but if he didn't practice, it wouldn't be good if he didn't even think about the ability to protect himself.
"King Jin, Lord Wang Xiaohu and Lord Gao Yaxian have arrived." The guards reported.
"Look, it's not that this king is lazy, let's rest now." Li Chengzong said.
Wang Yang was helpless, when he met such an apprentice as King Jin, he couldn't beat him. How can this be taught well, a strict teacher produces a high apprentice! The master is afraid of the apprentice, it is unheard of!
Wang Hu saw that Wang Yang looked depressed, and persuaded: "The teaching is good, continue to keep it for a few days without changing tricks." King Jin specified that if he didn't study, he wouldn't have to be so tired at that time. ”
Wang Yang said: "Didn't the King of Jin come to me to teach him martial arts?" If I don't learn, what should I do?"
"Saying that you are stupid is sometimes quite good, how can you always be stupid? You have made the King of Jin invincible in the world, what use do you want us? Therefore, King Jin will defend himself with two moves. Wang Hu said.
Yin Qiu urged: "Hurry up, King Jin is far away."
The three of them followed Li Chengzong, but Wang Yang had a different idea in his heart because of Wang Hu's words.
Li Chengzong saw that not only Gao Yaxian and Wang Xiaohu but also someone he didn't know.
Wang Xiaohu said: "King Jin, this is the envoy of the Tuli Khan, and he made a special trip to discuss important matters with the King of Jin on behalf of the Tuli Khan."
"Meet His Royal Highness the King of Jin." Tuli's envoy spoke well in Han, much stronger than Li Mingyue's county lord.
"Tell me what is important." After Li Chengzong sat down, he took a sip of tea and said. In fact, Li Chengzong really doesn't like to drink this tea, and he can't tell what it tastes like, it's not good anyway. But this tea is not drunk by ordinary people in Datang, and it is a must-have for large sums of money. Li Chengzong also thought about improving this tea, but he just remembered drinking tea, and never paid attention to how this tea came from.
"The Turki Khan asked the villain to convey his greetings to you, and brought five hundred good horses to the king of Jin."
"Talking about the right thing, if you are useless, you will be exempted. What does the Turki Khan think of the marriage that the king has spoken of?"
Tuli Khan felt that what the King of Jin said was reasonable, and although the marriage was decided, it was not appropriate to publicize it publicly. Recently, Jieli Khan was gathering soldiers and horses on the grassland, preparing to plunder the Tang Dynasty again, and Tuli Khan asked the king of Jin to pay more attention. ”
Li Chengzongdu: "Let this king pay attention?" It doesn't matter what King He Ben is, Jieli will not come to Dunhuang. Don't think about it, it's better to grab Li Shimin's territory. Also, it is best to let the old guy Jieli and Li Shimin, who can escape from the Turki Khan, fight head-on, that is, the kind of people who will not give up without dying tens of thousands of people. ”
The envoy of the Turki Khan thought to himself, this King of Jin was bent on killing Li Shimin, and he was afraid that he was not sincere in wanting to befriend the Turki Khan.
"King Jin, there is a shortage of salt and grain in the tribe now, and the Tuli Khan wants to ask you to help get some."
Li Chengzong said: "You have all the kings you want, but you also know it." With so many people under the king's command to feed, life is not easy. I eat two meals a day, and each meal has three dishes and one soup. ”
Nonsense, others eat a few meals Li Chengzong doesn't know, he eats whenever he wants a day, and he has a supper at night.
"Of course, the Turki Khan can exchange horses from the steppe with you. But can this price be lower than the list price in the market?"
"Tuli Khan is also an old friend of this king, and this king is all seven folds, and he vomits blood for love. This goods transaction must be carried out in batches, not in large quantities at one time, this king will arrange, as far as possible so that others will not find out. Li Chengzong also counted on Tuli to help him kill Li Shimin, and it was necessary to fund him. But now the Turks and the Tang Dynasty are not friendly friends, and they are blatant enemies, and the King of Qin does not do anything. Li Yuan still jumped to his feet angrily, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces might not be able to say something!
"King Lao Jin is bothered."
Li Chengzong asked Yin Qiu to escort the envoy of the Tuli Khan out and settled down.
"How many words did that guy say are true?"
Gao Yaxian said: "There are not a few words of truth, Wang Xiaohu and I have been in the Tuli Khan for many days, and we have carefully observed. There is no shortage of food and materials, not to mention that there are many young and old. However, it is true that Jieli Khan summoned the tribes, but it was not finalized for a long time. Several successive failures have already caused the prestige of Jieli Khan to plummet, and everyone is afraid that this time it will be thankless. ”
Li Chengzong said: "Don't worry, it's definitely no problem to fight." The Turki Khan wished that the Jieli Khan would fail a few more times, and he must have worked hard to help him. With their steppe khan and second khan working together, they are not afraid of big things. The two of you can't stop the mission, bring more people to pay attention to the movement on the grassland at any time. ”
"Yes, King Jin." The two responded in unison.
