Chapter Twenty-Nine: The smell that can't be forgotten by the bridge
Naha leaned on the side of her brother's lap, watched her brother pour the squeezed shallot water into the beef filling, secretly pinched some of the filling and ate it, and immediately closed her eyes happily.
Yun Chu patted the little hand she stretched out again, and the speed of pinching the buns in her hands was faster, and after a while, the two reed curtains were full of fat buns.
Seeing that the water was boiling, Yun Chu put the reed curtain into the iron pot, and after closing the lid, he put Naha on his lap and lit the fire.
Naha's little butt was cold, Yun Chu thought about it, and then took out his shorts and put them on for her.
It's very good, Yun Chu's shorts are worn on Naha's body, which happens to be a pair of fat cropped pants, which is suitable for summer.
When Yun Chu's buns were steaming, a fire broke out in the military village not far away, and it seemed that the captain of Zhichong Mansion had decided to abandon this not very strong military village and prepare for the whole army to enter the city.
The mute groom carried a lot of things on his back and looked at Yun Chu who was burning from a distance, and without calling, he walked towards Qiuzi City one after the other with the tuberculosis ghost and the husband.
At the end of the horizon, there was already a puff of smoke rising straight into the sky, and the head of the city of Qiuzi kept ringing drums, trombones, and gongs.
Every noise was urging people to enter the city as quickly as possible, and the wolf smoke on the horizon indicated that the Turkic army was already within sight.
If possible, Yun Chu didn't want to enter the city that was destined to become a flesh mill, and now, he had no choice, because wolf smoke appeared in the four directions of the southeast, west, and west.
What is the concept of 20,000 Turks?
When the Tang generals generally heard this number, they would subconsciously think that there were 100,000 people in control of the Turks on the other side.
This is a very, very serious matter, since Li Jing raided Jieli's royal tent and defeated the Golden Wolf Army, the Turks have rarely gathered on such a large scale.
Such a large-scale gathering is just for a small Qiuzi City? Yun Chu couldn't figure it out.
You must know that it is already very difficult to suddenly gather the Turkic people, who are already living in a scattered life.
100,000 people, and there must be millions of cattle and sheep following behind, such a huge migration herd will eat up all the food and grass that can be eaten along the way.
The life of a herdsman is very regular, spring and summer pastures, autumn and winter pastures, all are indispensable, what kind of grass cattle and sheep eat, how many days of grass to eat to grow fat, there are also rules.
Such a scale of gathering, will definitely break the growth law of cattle and sheep, once before the arrival of winter, cattle and sheep can not stick to the autumn fat, then, once the heavy snow comes, the fat enough cattle and sheep will be large, a large area of death.
Wait until spring...... The herders should have starved to death.
Therefore, what is the purpose of Ashina Helu's trip, Yun Chu feels that he should think about it.
The fire in the stove was very fierce, and the position of the pot lid began to bubble violently, Yun Chu wet the linen cloth with water and surrounded the pot lid, so as not to have enough righteous qi in the pot and not be able to steam a pot of steamed buns.
Naha wanted to touch the white steam, but Yun Chu knocked his hand off, it was a little annoyed and wanted to leave, but it was reluctant to let her brother say that it was delicious, so she bit her brother's arm with her mouth.
Ashina Helu's history is inseparable from Emperor Taizong, this son of the fleeing special service, after living in Chang'an for ten years, won the appreciation of Emperor Taizong, thinking that this child has become a Tang Dynasty, so he was given an official of the governor of Yaochi, and also rewarded him with two thousand Turkic people captured by the Tang army, and ordered him to garrison Tingzhou, thinking that in this way, the place north of the Tianshan Mountains should be safe from now on.
Now it seems that Ashina Helu really respects Emperor Taizong very much and is a very friendly person.
Therefore, his rebellion was carried out only after the death of Emperor Taizong.
2,000 Turkic people, now developed to 20,000 tents, how can a small Yaochi Governor's Mansion satisfy his desire for power?
Just like the iron pot in front of Yun Chu, after there was more steam in it, the heavy willow lid was lifted and popped.
"Brother, there's a monster in the pot."
Naha still wanted to touch the beautiful white qi, and felt that the little hands surrounding her with white qi must be very beautiful, so she pretended to say strange things to Yun Chu.
"Ashina Helu is here to destroy the two cities of Qiuzi and Khotan, and at the same time wants to disperse the Hu people living around these two cities, and artificially make a no-man's land south of the Tianshan Mountains, so as to ensure the safety of his nest north of the Tianshan Mountains...... He didn't even want to have a blood feud with the Tang people, he just wanted to be his own land king in the north of the Tianshan Mountains. ”
Yun Chu felt that this possibility was very high, once the south of the Tianshan Mountains became a no-man's land, it would be difficult for the Tang army to attack the north of the Tianshan Mountains, after all, the short spring, summer and autumn of the year in the Western Regions was not enough for the Tang army to walk from Chang'an to the north of the Tianshan Mountains.
The long winter and the vast Gobi will naturally make the soldiers and horses of the Tang people stop advancing.
He Lu is like this, but I don't know if Li Zhi, who has just become the emperor, thinks the same way.
Yun Chu felt as if he had figured things out, and the buns in the pot should be cooked.
The moment she lifted the lid of the pot, Naha immediately let out a miserable scream, Yun Chu threw away the lid of the pot, hugged Naha and came to the canal, and stuffed her red little hand into the cold canal water.
Fortunately, it was just burned by the steam and was not injured.
The beef buns are steamed very well, mainly because they are big enough, the meat filling is enough, and the butter spilled into the filling at the end is fatty enough to make the buns out of the pot look extremely plump.
Yun Chu likes to make food for Naha, because she is the best diner Yun Chu has ever met, and although Selema is also very good, she is not as committed as Naha after all.
She was still crying a moment ago, but when Yun Chu put a pottery bowl with a bun in her hand, the child immediately stopped crying and began to think very deeply about how to eat this thing.
Yun Chu used chopsticks to help Naha tear open the bun, and the beef grains wrapped in green juice slowly flowed out...... Put too much butter.
For the oil and water, there is an era of interpretation, just like Goubuli buns are a peerless delicacy in difficult times, and in the era when everyone needs health and beauty, this thing will become garbage.
Naha's appetite for fat is endless, so she feels that the buns in front of her are simply the food that Tengger can eat, and of course, whenever there is food, Naha usually considers herself and Tengger side by side.
The brother and sister ate a beautiful meal of steamed buns on the pot table, if it weren't for Yun Chu's six steamed buns set aside in advance, this pot of steamed buns would definitely be eaten by their brothers and sisters in one go.
Packing the remaining six buns in a small wicker basket and covering them with sackcloth, Yun Chu put Naha on horseback, and he himself led the horse and carried the wicker basket towards Qiuzi City.
The gates were not shut.
He Yuanshan sat cross-legged in the cave of the city gate, his eyes staring at the horizon without blinking, and at this time, a large area of dust had appeared on the horizon.
"You're the last one to enter town." He Yuanshan had a smile on his face, but his eyes were dead.
Yun Chu took out a warm bun from the wicker basket and handed it to He Yuanshan and said: "Remember this taste, and don't forget when you cross the Nai He Bridge, only people can taste such a taste." ”
He Yuanshan's lifeless eyes slowly became a little angry, took a big bite of **** inertia and was sluggish, and immediately said: "Why are you willing to do such a good thing until this time?" ”
Yun Chu smiled: "Give it to you early, you won't be rare." ”
He Yuanshan ate the bun in two bites, looked at the already sleepy Naha on horseback and said: "I left two secret roads, one in the west, one in the east, the west can go to Khotan, the east can go to Xizhou, my money is hidden under the mulberry tree in the northernmost part of the mulberry woodland, if you survive, remember to take the money to Chang'an Waiguo Jinchangfang and hand it over to my wife, you can keep half of it." ”
Yun Chu nodded, and took Naha into the city.
Liu Xiong saw Yun Chu enter the city, so he hurriedly went down the city wall, took the buns handed to him by Yun Chu and ate them in three or two bites, and said in a low voice: "I buried the money under the big mulberry tree in the easternmost part of the mulberry woodland, and when you go back to Chang'an, remember to help me bring it into the customs and hand it over to my grandmother." ”
Yun Chu has never been so sure of his character as he is now.
Because, next, Zhang Cheng and the other four big palms, after eating steamed buns, entrusted their net worth and life to Yun Chu.
Yun Chu couldn't figure out how these six people buried the gold they had embezzled in Qiuzi all these years in the mulberry forest without disturbing each other.
Yun Chu kicked open the old sheepskin's home in Qiuzi City, there was no one in the house, but the furnishings in the house did not change much, Yun Chu even saw the black sheepskin big in the hall that the old sheepskin loved very much, which should have been left to him by the old sheepskin.
Putting Naha, who was already asleep, on the Hu bed, and covering her belly with a linen coat, Yun Chu also felt sleepy, so he leaned on the edge of the Hu bed and fell asleep.
After he opened his eyes, he woke up Naha, pushed away the Hu bed, exposed the secret passage underneath, lit an oil lamp in the secret passage, put water and food in the secret passage, and then put Naha in and instructed: "Old rule, I don't shout, you don't move." ”
Naha cried, "What about Selema? ”
Yun Chu smiled: "She is with Karma, you know, Karma is very capable of fighting and will protect her." ”
As Yun Chu spoke, he removed the string of white stones that Selema had given him from his wrist that originally belonged to Naha, disassembled the strings, disassembled them into a handful of white stones, and put them in front of Naha, saying, "You obediently grab the stones, and after you have caught them a hundred times, I will come back." ”
Naha nodded earnestly, she knew that something very bad must have happened, and only when something bad happened, her mother and brother would put her in a dark hole, and until the bad thing was over, either her mother or brother would dig her out of the hole.
Yun Chu pushed the heavy Hu bed back into place, frowned and looked at the black sheepskin for a while, and after weighing it for a long time, he did not push the Hu bed away and take Naha out, but took off a set of leather armor from the horse and put it on his body.
Everyone in the city of Qiuzi could die, but the old sheepskin would definitely not die.
