Gai Zhongcheng led the Chinese army into the town of Broken Leaves, and the residents of all ethnic groups in the city welcomed them, in addition to the Sogdian, Turkic and other aborigines, there were also many Han Chinese who had migrated here for a long time. The poet immortal Li Bai is said to have been born here.

Broken Leaf City was once one of the four towns of Anxi, which has been abandoned many times, it was originally built by the Sogdians, and during the Western Turkic period, it was used as the land of the Ten Clans and the Tooth Court of the Khanate. After the Western Turks returned to the Tang Dynasty, it became one of the four towns of Anxi, and later after the adjustment of the situation between the imperial court and the Turkic forces, it was merged into the four towns of Anxi five times before and after. Until the early years of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, in order to encourage the Tuqi Shi Khan Sulu to fight against the Great Eclipse, the Broken Leaf Town was assigned to the Tuqi Shi to become the Tooth Tent Khan's Court, and after an interval of more than 20 years, the Tang army was once again stationed in the Broken Leaf City.

Gai Jiayun sighed in his heart, he and his ancestors and sages who made contributions to the Western Regions became the creators of history, which is also a great honor.

In front of him, the Marquis of Yu rode his horse and rushed over, dismounted and bowed and asked, "Ask Zhongcheng, whether you want to go to the Khanting Tooth Tent or set up another Tooth Tent."

Gai Zhongcheng pondered for a while, raised his horsewhip and said, "Put another big tent in the city, and leave the Khanting tooth tent to Mohe Dagan."

……

Mohedagan sat outside the city to gather the remnants of the army, count the captures, and wait until the afternoon to begin to enter the city. His first warrior, Sonadu, rushed back with his troops and caught up with Mohe at the gates.

Sonadhu flipped off his horse, knelt on the ground and hugged his chest and said, "Khan, my subordinates are back to their lives."

Mo He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why did you come back so quickly, but you have pursued and killed the Fire Immortal Khan."

Sona replied honestly: "No, Yang Xilie, the deputy envoy of the Jiedu of the West of the Valley, led his troops to intercept the escape road of the Fire Fairy, and he had to return the same way."

Mo He Dagan finally couldn't help it, grabbed the reins of the horse and scolded hatefully: "Okay, you Gai Jiayun despicable villain, when I was fighting to the death on the battlefield, you were watching the play next to me!" Now that the overall situation is decided, they will snatch people's heads from me!"

The warriors behind him kept their heads down and kept silent, for fear that the Khan would take fire out on them.

"Let's go, go find Gai Jiayun! Ask him what he can say. ”

Mo He went to the tent of the Khan Court first, only to know that Gai Jiayun was not stationed in it, and the resentment in his heart dropped a little, and he asked people to lead the way to the new big tent set up by Gai Jiayun.

Unlike Qiuzi and Shule, there are hardly any Central Plains-style buildings in the city, so Gai Jiayun had no choice but to settle and set up the tooth tent in the Daqin Temple in the city.

Mo He followed the wind and hurried, stood still outside the gate of the Persian Temple, first sorted out his manners, took a deep breath to brew emotions, and then strode in.

Gai Zhongcheng sat cross-legged in the hall of Daqin Temple, looking up at the colorful relief murals around him. There is only one statue in this temple, not like the Arhat Buddha in the Buddhist temple lined up, but a thin man with curly hair is tied to the torture instrument, which is really strange.

Several white-robed clergy carefully accompanied him, and Gai Jiayun was filled with curiosity, pointing to the statue and asking, "Is this a god?" ”

The priest replied, "This is the Son of God." ”

Gai Jiayun asked again: "Since you are the son of God, why are you being punished?" ”

The priest was about to explain the reason to him, when Mohe Dagan had already walked in from outside the temple gate, bowed and said, "Mohe has come to inquire about Zhongcheng. ”

Gai Jiayun sat upright and faced him: "What do you have to ask?" ”

"I sent Sonadhu to pursue the Fire Immortal Khan, why did Zhongcheng send someone to intercept it halfway, could it be that this Fire Fairy can only be chased by the Anxi Army, and my Mohe Department can't chase it?"

"Of course you can't chase it!" Gai Jiayun straightened his neck and choked back directly.

Mo Hedagan's face was angry, he took a deep breath, and then asked loudly: "Why can't you chase it, could it be that Zhongcheng is greedy for my head?" ”

Gai Jiayun suddenly let out a hearty laugh, the echo of haha echoed in the temple, Mo He became more and more angry, and just about to step forward, the two warriors with swords behind Gai Jiayun stepped forward, and their palms were already on the hilt.

Gai Zhongcheng stopped laughing, waved the two of them away, and said to Mo He: "A certain envoy who lives in the two towns of the northwest court of An, and sits on a land thousands of miles to the west, how can he be greedy for your mere merit?" The dispute between the two surnames of black and yellow, the crime of the fire spitting fairy Khan will not lead to death. I asked Mohe Khan, if the bones of the Fire Spitting Immortal Khan fall into your hands, will he still be alive? ”

Mo He said stupidly: "I really have no intention of killing him, why should Zhongcheng doubt me?" ”

"Didn't He Mo Khan know that the melon field and Li Xia avoided suspicion? If you really have no intention of killing him, you should not send troops after him. ”

Since ancient times, the Hu people and the Han people have never won in the verbal and intellectual debate, and the Han people are clever and eloquent, he has long heard of it, but he didn't expect that it was originally his justifiable reason, but it became his unreasonableness.

He racked his brains and thought about it, and suddenly found an entry point, so he rolled up his narrow sleeves and asked loudly: "Why does Zhongcheng keep the Fire Spitting Immortal Khan?" I, Mo He, have sincerely returned to Datang, and you are keeping his life, aren't you guarding me? ”

Gai Jiayun pressed his hands on his knees and said in a deep voice: "Am I guarding against you?" I'm here to help you! ”

Mo Heda asked suspiciously, "How do you say this?" ”

Gai Jiayun grinned and smiled: "You are about to unify the Tuqi tribes, among which there are many former followers of the Sulu Khan, who are scattered among the Tuqi tribes. Let me ask you, once you kill the Fire Immortal Khan with your own hands, can the contradictions and hatred between the two surnames of black and yellow still be resolved? You have the blood of the Fire Immortal Khan on your hands, can these black surnames give up? Only if I escort the fire-spitting fairy back to Chang'an, so that he can live as an official, and he has no right to sit on the title, these black surnames will not dare to move, and they will belong to you He Mo Khan with peace of mind. ”

"Moreover, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to bet its hopes on you alone, after you become a khan, if you can't subdue the Turkish tribes to fight again, we can only abandon you and choose a virtuous khan. I hope that the Khan of Hemo will do his best not to disappoint us. ”

He Mo Dagan's head was buzzing, and he held back a sullen breath and asked: "In this battle, in order to exterminate the Fire Immortal Khan, our Mukun Department has suffered heavy losses, Zhongcheng, you can see it all." He Mo wants to ask Gai Zhongcheng to return to Chang'an to show his merit for me, but I can't hide it, I want to be the Turkic Khan with the ten surnames. ”

Gai Jiayun nodded and said, "Please rest assured, a certain self will fight for you." ”

Seeing that there was no point in staying, He Moda bowed down and hugged his chest and said, "Please take a good rest in the temple, and He Mo will retire." ”

"In that case, I'll let the guards send you out."

He Mo Dagan turned around and walked out of the hall of the Great Qin Temple, and a soldier followed behind him and sent him out of the courtyard gate, arched his hand from afar, turned around and turned back.

He Mo looked back at the door of the black hole of the Great Qin Temple, recalled the conversation with Gai Jiayun just now, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and said to himself: "I still want to manipulate my Mukun Division!" When I have incorporated the Turkic tribes and obtained the position of ten khans, I will definitely be able to surpass Sulu. When the time comes, I will provoke Lao Tzu, and even the four towns of Anxi will be captured for you! ”

He waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and led his retinue to the Tooth Tent Palace.

……

Gai Jiayun sat cross-legged, saw He Mo swaying his body and stepping out of the threshold of the hall, turned around and smiled at the servant beside him: "This person actually wants to be a khan with ten surnames, he has great ambitions!" ”

The deputy envoy behind him, Yang Xilie, and his entourage let out a laugh, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became relaxed.

After laughing, Yang Xilie asked Gai Jiayun with a puzzled face: "Zhongcheng, why do you want to tell this He Mo the truth, wouldn't it be better if he didn't know about this matter?" ”

Gai Jiayun stood up, holding the hilt of the knife at his waist, his armor vibrated and sounded, and he said loudly facing the door: "Treat people with sincerity, even if I don't say it, Mo He will definitely know in the future, besides, conspiracy is the means of the weak, we are the strong, and we only practice conspiracy." ”

Everyone around him crossed their hands in unison and sighed: "Zhongcheng is wise!" ”

Gai Jiayun laughed conceitedly, and his eyes turned to the priest standing next to him: "Hu Seng, back to our question just now, since he is the son of the gods, he should live in Chang Close, and he is worshiped by ten thousand people, why was he punished?" ”

Priest: "It's a long story, the legend is ......"

After a while, Gai Jiayun stood on the ground with his hands on his sword, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said, "In this way, the killing karma created in the east of Broken Leaf City today is all borne by this divine son?" ”

The priest nodded, adding, "Exactly. ”

"It's comparable to Prince Mahasa's sacrifice to feed tigers." He walked out of the gate of the temple with a knife, suddenly turned around, and pointed to the statue at the end of the hall with a calm expression: "Give one million in money, and I want to reshape the golden body of the Son of the Suffering God." ”

The priest dragged the cross and silently said, "Amen, the Father will bless you." ”
