The two young men were also sincere, lying on the ground with their hands, and kowtowing to Li Siye again and again: "Engong, please accept our worship." ”

Li Siye hurriedly stepped forward to help them up: "I can't help it, I can't help it, it's my duty to kill the bandits, I'm ashamed." ”

The elders of the big food caravan came over, and when they heard Suotong's story, they also respected Li Siye, bowed down and bowed, and said in a relatively unfamiliar Central Plains official dialect: "The thief Zhang Kuo has been rampant in the desert for decades, and his hands are stained with the blood of many merchants. Fortunately, Li led the righteous action to kill him, and we, the merchants who walked the desert, are grateful, may Allah bless you! ”

The rest of the caravan also bowed to Li Siye, and Suotong specially asked him to ride a camel to the center of the front of the procession, which was supposed to belong to the caravan leader.

The caravan continued on the road, and the horses and camels captured by Li Siye were naturally well cared for without orders.

His mood was much more relaxed, and the rolling yellow sand of the desert turned into a beautiful scenery in his eyes.

Soton took the initiative to take on the role of a tour guide by his side, introducing him to the customs of Anxi.

Li Siye was thinking about the money, and suddenly asked him: "How much is the bounty bonus for killing Zhang Kuo's gang?" ”

"Back to Li Shuzheng, the amount of the bounty in these state capitals is not the same, the Ganzhou Mansion has a reward of 80,000 yuan, the Shazhou Mansion has a reward of 90,000 yuan, and the Anxi Metropolitan Protector's reward is only 70,000 yuan."

Li Siye was slightly surprised: "Why are the bids of different state capitals?" ”

"This Zhang Kuo seems to have been born in Shazhou, and he was also in Shazhou when he served in the army, and there was such a big thief, Shazhou Assassin Shi is to blame, so he naturally has to make great efforts to pursue it, there are a lot of business travelers in Ganzhou, and businessmen in Lanzhou City gather, and they all walk on the ancient silk road of this desert, so the strength of Ganzhou Mansion is also very large, as for Anxi, this person rarely goes to the four towns of Anxi to carry out activities, so the money given by Anxi Duhufu is less."

Li Siye was a little regretful, he couldn't return to the sandbank with his head, but even if he couldn't receive more reward, if he let the Duhu know that he had beheaded the bandits, it would be a big credit.

In the afternoon of the next day, the caravan came to the Devil's City, and happened to pass by the place where Li Siye and Zhang Kuo and others were fighting.

Li Siye couldn't refuse, so he had to revisit the old place, but when he got to the rock tower, he saw that the bodies of Zhang Kuo and others were nowhere to be found, and only the bloodstains were about to be buried by the yellow sand.

There must have been a wild wolf in the desert, smelling blood, and came and took the corpse away.

But this still can't stop the enthusiasm of Suo Tong and the Suo family brothers and sisters, Suo Yuanyu, this kid, no, it should be the little lady who took the initiative to come forward, begging Li Siye to tell her about the process of killing Zhang Kuo, the scene of the enemy being killed, even if you listen to it a thousand times or ten thousand times, you don't feel bored.

Li Siye didn't want to talk about it anymore, it seemed too superficial to show off too much, but Yuanyu Niangzi dragged his armor, blinking and flashing with small stars in her eyes, this kind of style that is not like being coquettish is better than being coquettish, ordinary men can't resist it, and second-class men can't resist it.

He had to reluctantly tell her a cut version of the entire battle process, and the offensive and defensive sides also fell apart, and it was too difficult to reinvent a complete story, so he chased it here...... The enemy guarded on the stone tower, the corner was stubborn and could not resist, Li Siye raided at night, killed their two horses, barbecued horse meat and continued to squat, and finally the bandits ran out of food and water, so they had to come down to fight a decisive battle with Li Siye, and naturally they were killed by the enemy.

He raised his iron wrist to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Phew, it's not easy to maintain the image of a hero, but fortunately, all the witnesses died, and no matter how much he exaggerated his credit, no one jumped out to refute it.

Vanity is sometimes a disease.

However, he also realized the truth from this, no matter how despicable your method of winning is, how many ways to kill, and how unbearable your previous situation is, as long as you kill all the enemies and finally win, then you are a worthy hero.

"Li Lang, Brother Li, your sword skills must be very powerful."

"Well, it's okay, so-so."

It is indeed a little worse than the average, but Suo Yuanyu doesn't think so, in her eyes, the benefactor Li Siye is not only strong in martial arts, but also so modest, even a famous master like vulture Zhang Kuo died in his hands, can he be a master?

Since her father died in the desert, she has always urged herself to practice martial arts hard, and in just one year, the sword technique has made great progress. ”

"Oh," Li Siye was stunned, this little lady is a little familiar, it should be said that people are crazy.

"Yuanyu, don't be rude."

Suo Tong reprimanded Yuanyu, which can be regarded as relieving Li Siye.

"This niece of mine was raised by her parents as a boy since she was a child, so she was a little wilder, and I hope Li is right."

"It's out of the way." Li Siye said with a smile: "I don't practice the horizontal knife very well, and I use the Mo knife to kill the enemy." ”

"That's right, you take the Mo knife, I take the horizontal knife, we practice."

Li Siye: "......"

Fortunately, Suotong was very discerning, and after glaring at Yuanyu, he invited Li Siye to go on the road.

Among the leaders of the caravan, the elders of the big food also used the half-hung Central Plains official dialect to chat with each other.

Li Siye was still thinking about the affairs of Chang'an, and learned that the big food merchant had returned from Chang'an, and he had been delayed in the desert for more than a month.

"When did the guest depart from Chang'an?"

Every time the elder of Dashi speaks, he has to hug his chest to show etiquette: "If you return to Li Shuzheng, we will set off from Chang'an in late October and return to our hometown on the holy death day of our Great Qin Sect next year." ”

"Oh, what's going on in Chang'an lately?"

The elder of Da Shi thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "There is nothing big in Chang'an City, but the position of the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty has changed. ”

Suotong listened to it from the side, and also pricked up his ears to listen, and seemed to be very concerned about the major affairs of the DPRK and China.

"Zhongshu ordered Zhang Jiuling to be deposed by His Majesty and demoted to Shangshu Youcheng, and Pei Yaoqing was demoted to Shangshu Zuocheng. Li Linfu made the Zhongshu order, and Niu Xianke made the Ministry of Works, and the three products under the same Zhongshu door. ”

Li Siye nodded slightly heavily, history continues to move forward along the inherent trajectory, as soon as Zhang Jiuling falls, the crown prince Li Ying will also be in danger.

Suo Yuanyu suddenly interjected behind him and asked, "Li Linfu, is it the 'Prime Minister of the Deer' of folklore?" ”

Suo Tong turned back and reprimanded with a sullen face: "Yuanyu, don't talk nonsense. ”

These juniors go out, they don't know the importance of talking, and they talk about the prime minister in front of the court officials, after all, they don't know the root of Li Siye, although this little thing is not enough, but they are afraid of people with ulterior motives.
