Chapter 465 Love

Heisha City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the location of the construction is extremely advantageous for defense, and there is also a river to solve the water source, it is indeed a treasure land of feng shui, and the people who chose the location of the city are obviously very knowledgeable. However, its scale cannot be compared with the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that it cannot even be compared with the slightly larger state and county cities in China. After all, the Turks have no fixed residence, and building cities and defending land is not their forte.

Li Shizhi entered the city with the Turks who came to meet him, and because his clothes were torn, the "talkative" old man persuaded him to change his clothes, but Li Shizhi did not want to wear barbarian clothes so he refused the kindness.

The wind and sand in the city, the appearance of dusty and low houses, giving people the impression of being dirty and messy, in short, is not a good place in Li Shizhi's opinion. They walked for a while, and a group of people rode over, and a heroic Turkic lady greeted the old man cheerfully, it seems that they are acquaintances, as for what the relationship Li Shizhi is not clear.

When the Turkic lady spoke, she kept looking at Li Shizhi intentionally or unintentionally, and later asked in Chinese: "Are you an envoy from the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"I'm not a messenger...... Li Shizhi couldn't say that he was a prisoner, but seeing that this little lady's smiling face had no ill will towards people, he said politely, "My surname is Li." ”

The old man said a few words to Xiao Niang in Turkic language, and Xiao Niang was stunned, but she still paid attention to Li Shizhi. Obviously, Li Shizhi is indeed young and handsome, although he is not as tall and mighty as those Turkic men, but his demeanor is elegant and delicate, and it is rare to see such a person on the grassland.

The little lady said again: "Father Khan is in the sweat tent, Uncle Tunyugu and this guest from the Tang Dynasty should go in to see him." ”

This sentence finally made Li Shizhi figure out some useful information, it turned out that the old man who brought him over was called Tun Desire Valley, and he might be a Turkic minister; And the Turkic lady who spoke called Mosi Khan her father, I'm afraid she was a little princess. Li Shiqing knows that not all princesses are handsome, but the one in front of her is passable, although the skin is not too watery, it is better to be healthy and energetic, big eyes, cheerful and likable temperament can make people feel good.

The group entered the sweat tent, Li Shizhi only felt that the light was not very good, and most of the people sitting around were also Turkic ministers, but they gave people a very undignified and black appearance, and in the middle sat an old man with half gray hair holding a scepter in his hand. Tun Yugu and the others saluted him with their hands on their chests, but Li Shizhi hugged his fists as a salute, just standing and arching.

Tunyugu and Mo Si talked in Turkic for a while, and after a long time, Mo Si turned his gaze to Li Shizhi and said in Chinese: "Our Turkic Khanate is the only one, and there are not as many cumbersome rules as the Tang Dynasty, as long as I pardon you, you can be a minister." He pointed to a man next to him, "Wang Mang is also a Han and has been following Ben Khan for many years. ”

Li Shizhi did not hesitate to clench his fists and said: "The Khan's kindness has been comprehended, and he cannot obey his fate." ”

Maybe he answered too directly, and his silent temperament was already more violent, and he immediately showed anger: "You used to be an enemy of my Turkic Khanate, and now you have become a prisoner, I kindly pardon you, but I don't appreciate it, it's good, it's ...... to come."

"Father Khan!" At this time, the princess who had just met Li Shizhi stood up and said, "He was captured by our people, and he was sent by Uncle Tunyugu all the way, and if Father Khan doesn't like it, then give it to me as a slave." ”

Of course, Li Shizhi immediately understood in his heart that this little lady had actually saved his life, but he couldn't bear the insult, and raised his head and said, "I am a dignified Li Tang clan, how can I be a slave?" It's killable but not humiliating, please just make a soup wok! ”

At this time, I saw that the princess facing the tent door gave Li Shizhi a look, she turned her back to Mo Si, but facing the below, the ministers all saw it, and everyone did not say anything but looked silently, most of them already understood a little bit of the reason. Xiao Niang was a little undignified like that, but considering that nomadic women were more warm and open, there was nothing to make a fuss about, and Li Shizhi understood that her kindness was also full of gratitude.

Seeing that Li Shizhi was unmoved, she ran to the throne and grabbed Mo Si begging, Mo Si showed that she loved this princess very much, and her expression had become a little kinder, and she had to say: "Then I will demote you to a slave and give it to Ashina Zhuo." ”

Li Shizhi said in his heart at this time: The Turkic people are called ministers in name, but in fact, they have never thought that their military strength is strong and they have not taken the Tang Dynasty in their eyes, otherwise why would they dare to treat people surnamed Li like this at will?

Seeing that Li Shizhi didn't want to surrender, Mo Si lost interest and didn't value it much. Soon Li Shizhi was taken into a sweat tent as a slave.

He was sent to the house of the princess Ashinazhuo, and soon the princess returned, and was very warm and courteous to him, where did he treat the slave at all? Li Shizhi sighed: "I have never been with the princess in my life, and I met for the first time today, why did the princess save my life first, and then treat it like this...... I really don't know how to repay it. ”

Ashina Zhuo smiled and continued: "Repay ...... with your body"

Li Shizhi was stunned, but when he saw the princess's relaxed smile, he was suspected of joking. However, when he was in the Tang Dynasty, he did not encounter something admired by women, and he was afraid that something was wrong.

At this time, Ashina Zhuo said boldly: "You are so stupid, don't you see that I like you?" ”

Li Shizhi was even more speechless, he didn't expect the Turkic woman to be so bold. He pondered silently for a moment, and then said busily: "If the princess is just joking, it's fine, otherwise please think twice." I am guilty in Datang, and you are a princess, if you marry your relatives, what name should you use? Khan will not agree! ”

"It doesn't matter if Father Khan agrees or not, as long as you want to." Ashinada suppressed his smile and said solemnly, "Actually, I am not the Khan's biological daughter, my biological father is the Khan of the previous Turkic Khanate. When the Khan died, my brother was young, and the Khan set himself up as king. Speaking of which, he took the throne of our family, but over the years he has been kind to our brothers and sisters, and even treats me like his own daughter, and we don't hate him. ”

Li Shizhi nodded: "I see, but in any case, you are also a member of the Ashina royal family." ”

Ashina Zhuo persuaded again: "I heard Uncle Tun Desire Valley say that your crime in the Tang Dynasty was to kill a military general. If you can make peace with the Ashina clan and benefit the relationship between the two countries, the imperial court may pardon you for the crime based on the overall situation, and you will be able to be an upright person again? ”

Li Shizhi sneered: "The person in charge of the imperial court is the Xue clan, as far as I know, he has never thought of improving relations with the Turkic Khanate, and he is a ruthless and brutal person, all he thinks about is to raze the forces that threaten him!" ”

Ashinado was puzzled: "But I heard my father and uncles say, didn't our Turkic Khanate live in harmony with the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Isn't there a single man of insight in the Turkic Khanate?" Li Shizhi snorted contemptuously.

A kind of self-confidence to the point of conceit and even pretending to be necessary was inadvertently exposed, but it did not attract Ashinazhuo's disgust, her eyes were more admiring, and the woman seemed to be instinctively attracted to the powerful man.

She said softly: "Even if it is not beneficial to the country, you and I can get out of slavery by marrying each other." The Tang people want to arrest you, you can only stay to have a place to stay, do you want to live in this grassland with the humiliation of slaves? ”

"I can't live up to the princess's kindness." Li Shizhi was naturally reluctant to be a son-in-law for the barbarians, he was deeply influenced by Confucianism and looked down on all races except the Han Chinese, and barbarians were a derogatory term in his understanding.

"Is it because I'm a Turk?" Ashina Zhuo sighed, "You are the Li Tang clan, you are self-determined to the Tang Dynasty, and I am not reluctant to have their own ambitions." However, Zhang Qian of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to the Western Regions and was trapped in the Xiongnu, didn't he still marry a Xiongnu woman and have children? Later generations have not criticized it for this, so why do you hurt my heart like this? ”

She said this allusion to Li Shizhi very surprised, and made his eyes light up, and pondered that although this princess said it bluntly, it was not unreasonable. Marrying a Turkic woman at an extraordinary time is not an unforgivable thing to betray one's ancestors...... The point is, it is obviously beneficial to be able to get the favor of this princess, just as it is today, without her help, I am afraid that I would have been in a different place and have no way to do it.

Seeing that Li Shizhi was silent, Ashina Zhuo knew that he was already moved, and couldn't help but smile. Q
