The melancholy bearded man looked around, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance were undulating, and the peaks were like jade pillars reaching into the sky. Anyone who comes here and sees such a scene will suddenly feel heroic in their chest.

He didn't know what Mansur was thinking, but he always felt that this man was more ambitious than anyone else, and his eyes were full of greed as he looked at the undulating snowy peaks.

"When I came to Datang this time, I finally understood what the Arabs lacked. The Umayyad and the former caliphs were too narrow in their hearts and believed that Allah was only the Allah of the Arabs, but otherwise, all people under the heavens could bathe in the luster of Allah, and even those pagans could become our civilized people. ”

Li Siye stared at the person in front of him with a new scrutiny, this man in a black robe and a turban always reminded him of Silly Damu, **, it's really strange.

Mansur, the envoy of the Great Eclipse, took his flamboyant secret caravan away, and Li Siye stood at the head of the city and watched the camel caravan climb over the hills between the snow-capped mountains, the sound of the golden camel bell echoing through the mountains.

When he turned and walked down the city wall, he found that the soldiers and ladies in the city were all looking at him with a burning and strange gaze, as if they had seen a golden Buddha statue, which made it impossible for them to look at it directly.

Fujimaki led twenty people to guard the outside of the grass hall, wearing armor on their bodies, and their expressions were solemn and serious.

Li Siye asked him strangely, "What are you doing here?" Want me to put your training to the test? ”

"No, my beloved Li Yuanjun, that box is filled with gold. I know how expensive this thing is, and the sudden appearance of 500 catties of gold in the Green Ridge will always attract people with ill intentions, so I take everyone to stay here and do my best to protect the safety of the gold. ”

Li Siye waved his hand: "I don't need your protection, you just go down for me and lead the troops well, don't think too much about this kind of messy thing." ”

Fujimaki nodded sincerely: "The capture envoy is right, I will definitely live up to your expectations and work hard to lead the troops, please allow me to express my loyalty to you." ”

Li Siye's scalp tingled when he heard it, it was true that Fujimaki was his subordinate, but this kind of behavior was too licking, it seemed that gold had too much influence on people, and it was easy for people to lose their minds.

He waved his hand angrily, and walked into the grass hall, where the chest containing gold was squatting on a straw mat in the center, with a large brass lock hanging on it, and the key was in his hand.

The lord Bo Yu Gou sat cross-legged on the opposite side of the box, his expression was stable, holding the hemp rope in his hand and closing his eyes to recuperate, Li Siye exhaled with relief, as a master who manages the warehouse, it is really remarkable that he can be indifferent to this situation in the face of gold, and this concentration is second only to himself.

With so much gold, you should find a place to store it, otherwise one day you will have something to do and leave the green mountains, and these guys will secretly open the box and divide the gold.

Yu Gou respectfully stepped forward and saluted: "Envoy, I am willing to protect this gold for the envoy, even if my life is lost, they will not be lost."

Li Siye asked him with a smile: "Have you opened the box and seen it?"

"I haven't seen it yet."

He pulled the key out of his sleeve, walked over to the box, opened the brass lock on it, and beckoned to the structure.

Yu Zhubo hesitated a little, walked over slowly, and looked at Li Siye's face in surprise.

Li Siye suddenly opened the lid of the box, and the golden light bloomed out, and Yu Zhu's thin eyes suddenly straightened, his eyes were full of obsession, and even his breathing became heavy.

Syllable!

He closed the box again, and Yu Gou recovered from his restlessness.

Li Siye turned his head to look at him again and asked, "How is it?"

Yu Quan was ashamed, and said in a low voice:

"I don't have enough determination to do my job, and I am not qualified to keep it for Li Yuanjun."

Li Siye smiled with satisfaction: "You can think like this, it means that you are a loyal person, I will be of great use in the future with this gold, if you just possess them, then they are a pile of dead things, and they have no effect."

Yu Gou bowed again: "I have been taught."

"Go out and get me a head, and tell everyone that anyone has to come near here."

Yu Gou went and returned, handed Li Siye a handful of skulls, and then slowly retreated with his sleeve covering his face.

Li Siye carried the head back to the partition door of the room where he lived, removed the wooden cabinet where the documents were displayed, raised the head and slashed it.

……

In late June, Tian Zhen, who went out to escort the Persian caravan, came back with the team, the escort mission was thrilling and dangerous, everyone only encountered a few small bandits on the way, and they were easily dismissed, and everyone's faces were only filled with the joy of returning except for the fatigue of the journey.

Lin Qinian led the soldiers and family members who were captured in the Green Ridge and stood on the head of the city to welcome the athletes who returned from afar. The camel horse team slowly walked from the bottom of the snow-capped mountain, and the long line emitted a crisp camel bell. The ladies stood on the head of the city and danced the colorful silk in their hands, this scene seems to be a little familiar.

Yu Gou quietly walked to Li Siye's side and questioned in a low voice: "We did it in secret from Shule Town to escort the caravan, is it too obvious for us to do this, and we are still holding a welcome ceremony, and those who don't know still think that they are heroes who have returned from the expedition?"

"Who says they're not heroes?"

Li Siye clasped his hands on his chest and said calmly: "For the livelihood of his family, dare to let go of his current comfortable life and go to a distant place to work hard, they are heroes, heroes of their wives and children."

Yu Gou sighed faintly: "Li Yuanjun said it really well."

Actually, what he wanted to say was,

Why did they come out, don't you have a point in your heart? Didn't you tempt them out with money? Isn't it because they owe the armor of the court that you pull your pigtails?

The caravan slowly came to the city wall, Li Siye ordered someone to open the city gate, Tian Zhen rode a thin horse, carried a spear on his shoulder and led the caravan into the city, his face was covered with rough marks after the wind and sand sharpening, and the nineteen athletes behind him also had the same rough faces, even their faces that were red with excitement after returning were also covered by this trace.

As soon as everyone entered the city, the ladies of all the families gathered around, and the procession immediately became chaotic. The young lady stood shyly in front of her husband, and the slightly older lady held the child and sent it to her husband's arms, as if the child was the baton of their love.

For a while, the laughter of the children, the shouts of grandpa, the tired neighing of the horses, and the congratulations and greetings of the brothers were intertwined, making this lonely and lonely town at the end of the earth have an extraordinary liveliness.

Xiao Bisheng was newly married, and after the soldiers with a lady and no children led the horse into the stable, he picked up the lady who was snuggled up by his side and returned to his house to latch the door. There were both ladies and children, and they stuffed the dried fruits brought from afar into the children's arms, sent them out to play, and also bolted the door.

The rest of the bachelors, Li Siye stretched out his hand to greet them and said: "All the brothers have worked hard to return, come to the grass hall tonight, I have prepared a banquet for everyone."

"Okay!"

The cold moonlight hung in the air, the sound of the wine order in the grass hall guarding the city was noisy, the fierce men shuttled back and forth with wine bowls, and from time to time someone fell drunk to the ground, causing a burst of hearty laughter.

Li Siye sat on the main seat, holding a wine bowl in his hand, his eyes were drunk, and he looked at the excited look on the faces of these soldiers with satisfaction, this is what he dreamed of the border pass should look like.
