Chapter VII Pig Breeding
On a rare sunny day in winter, Li Ye made a reclining chair and placed himself in the courtyard, with a variety of delicious wine and food on the dining table in front of him.
Li Ye, who crossed Erlang's legs, held his cheeks in one hand and the wine glass in the other, watching the singers dance in the sun with great interest, occasionally shaking their heads to the beat of musical instruments.
Da Si Ming stood aside with a wine jug in his hand, and she would take the initiative to pour it when Li Ye's wine glass ran out of wine; Shao Si Ming knelt next to the food table, cooking hot pot according to Professor Li Ye's method, and from time to time half a bowl was sent to Li Ye, and there was no mouthful to feed him.
Li Ye rarely experiences such a comfortable life, but today is different, Li Yan wrote new poems, rehearsed new songs and dances, and asked Li Ye to watch everything, otherwise he would ignore his hard work.
At this moment, Li Yan was next to Li Ye, with the same posture and demeanor, and even enjoying the intoxication. When the interest comes up, he will also "correct" Li Ye's posture and explain how to get the most comfortable enjoyment and the most relaxed spirit.
Li Yan calls this the way of health preservation.
He thinks that Li Ye is either busy with social affairs all day long, or fighting everywhere, he is too tired, and he should learn to relax properly, otherwise he will worry that Li Ye's physical burden is too great and he will not be able to last long.
Li Ye thinks that Li Yan has a point.
If the other party's recliner was not covered with a thick mink fur, his whole body was almost gone, and he was still shouting cold when the breeze blew, Li Ye would definitely think that Li Yan did know the way of health preservation.
Originally, Li Yan was also a Qi cultivator, so he would never be so weak.
It's just that he can't remember the last time he cultivated. Just like many literati who were strong and strong when they were young, they eventually became weak and sick seedlings. Although he did achieve a lot in music, it did not make up for his physical deficit that was consumed by wine.
After a song, the dancers saluted and retreated, and Li Yan raised his wine glass and signaled to Li Ye, "Brother Ye, drink very much!"
Looking at his heroic appearance, it seems that he has just ended not a song and dance, but a battlefield battle, and he is the commander who commands thousands of troops.
Li Ye raised his glass cooperatively.
Yesterday, he was still discussing the overall situation of the war with Song Jiao related to the survival of the dynasty, and today he is drunk with Li Yan and dreams of death, such a life is indeed very colorful.
Normally, Li Ye's way to relax himself is to enjoy the scenery or drink a drink, but today he was instructed by Li Yan to serve the servants and maids of the palace intimately, which is also interesting.
When he was young, Li Ye's temperament was even more dull, and Li Yan, a brother who eats, drinks and has fun, has become the best friend to adjust Li Ye's life.
I have to say that this kind of play is also useful, one by one, it is indeed a long-term way, otherwise Li Ye would have been depressed for 20 years if he couldn't cultivate.
After enjoying singing and dancing with Li Yan for a long time, and in-depth discussion of music and poetry, Li Ye benefited a lot.
Before leaving, Li Yan asked the maids of the palace with a serious face to take care of King An's life and serve King An comfortably, otherwise he would be severely punished, which made the young man a little flustered.
The panic was not because he was afraid of Li Yan, the emperor, but because he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he really didn't take care of King An comfortably.
In the afternoon, the drunken Li Yan drove back to the palace. If he doesn't leave, he will get drunk directly in King An's Mansion. It's just that after drinking two pots of wine, he can't hold his eyelids, which is not in line with Li Yan's amount of alcohol, it can only show that his current body is indeed very weak.
When Li Ye saw him off, he wanted to stop talking, and wanted to remind Li Yan to be less vocal and more to practice, but when he saw that the other party was about to snore, he gave up and prepared to go to the palace tomorrow to persuade and persuade again.
After Li Yan left, the eldest young man followed Li Ye with his head down, no matter what Li Ye did, they both looked ashamed and embarrassed, which made Li Ye feel funny in his heart. In the end, Haosheng comforted him, and the two little girls relaxed a little.
As the New Year approached, Li Ye began to pay close attention to the news in Guangzhou.
It's not that I'm worried that Liu Yin has any problems, but if Chu Nanhuai and the others return, they will inevitably land from Guangzhou. Now they have been out for more than two months, and according to their steps, one round trip is enough.
However, if you count the time spent searching for potatoes and corn in Central and South America, it is not surprising that there is no news yet. Li Ye circled a large range for them, after all, he didn't know the specific location, and if he really got there, he had to find it by Chu Nanhuai and others.
If the potatoes and corn are brought back earlier, they will still be able to catch up with the sowing season, and then Li Ye will gather the ministers and the people to harvest a round and let them witness the yield in the field, then the people will soon be full of confidence, and there will be no reason for Li Ye not to return.
"If Chu Nanhuai and the others can come back in time, it will naturally be the best, and my cultivation will be able to be promoted to the Great Luo Jin Immortal Realm in time, and I will be completely sure of fighting against the Khitan Immortal Army in the Immortal Domain. If they don't come back in time, the situation will be less favorable. ”
When Li Ye talked to Wu You about this in the Immortal Domain, he explained the reason why he desperately hoped that Chu Nanhuai and the others would return as soon as possible.
The county lord tilted his head and thought for a while: "If you can, that's great, but what if you can't?
When the grain seeds will return to Datang, and even whether Chu Nanhuai and others can succeed in this trip, Li Ye can't control it now. Pinning one's hopes on things beyond one's control is tantamount to leaving one's fate to an unknown judge, which is not the work of a wise man.
The county lord thinks that Li Ye must have another way, so that he can gain the loyalty of a group of Tang people in next year's war.
To the county lord, Li Ye didn't need to hide anything, and he didn't sell Guanzi, and said honestly: "Ma Yin." ”
"Ma Yin?" the county lord was a little confused.
Li Ye nodded: "The reason why I don't deal with Ma Yin now is to wait for him to gather more in Chudi."
Some of the old ministries have raised the signs and momentum of the rebellion, and it is better to make it known to many people. In this way, tomorrow before I send out my troops, I will extinguish them by thunderous means, and everyone will realize what kind of control I and the imperial court have over the world. ”
This is a typical trick of conspiracy, not very bright, even a little dark.
The county lord thought for a moment, and suddenly realized: "If Brother Ye kills Ma Yin now, the movement will definitely not be big, and for ordinary people, that is, when they hear an insignificant news, there will naturally not be much shock in their hearts."
"Maybe they will think that Brother Ye can't tolerate the existence of the old princes, put a rebellious hat on him, and deliberately get rid of him!
"Only when people see that Ma Yin shows his strength to rebel, so that the people in Chu and even more places are frightened, and Brother Ye quickly extinguishes him, will they know how strong the imperial court is, and they will be grateful to Dade.
At the same time, let them see that Ma Yin colluded with the Khitan, and confirmed that he was a traitor, and Brother Ye's execution, so that no one would suspect it, and everyone would give a thumbs up! In this way, there will not be many people in the world who will not be willing to return to the court. ”
Li Ye was very satisfied with the county lord's comprehension ability.
This is actually a strategy of "fattening the pigs and then killing them".
After figuring out Li Ye's arrangement, the county lord applauded happily: "Yelu Abaoji, this barbarian, it's not good to compete with Brother Ye, but to compare strategies." As everyone knows, in the thousands of years since the Han and Tang Dynasties, we have long been familiar with all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and we have used all kinds of methods.
He thought that if he helped Ma Yin rebel, he would be able to make Brother Ye embarrassed internally and externally, but this was just lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, but it also gave Brother Ye a chance to quickly win people's hearts, this guy is really ...... It's so cute!"
Li Ye was praised, but he didn't look proud, but cried and laughed: "Are you scolding me for being insidious?"
The county lord hugged Li Ye's arm and smiled: "No, Brother Ye is the smartest, I'm complimenting you!"
Li Ye: "......"
......
Andes.
The sun is high overhead, and the sun is blazing, and even when flying in the mountains, the position is slightly higher, and the temperature is not so low that people feel comfortable.
"Master, it's winter season, why is it so hot here?"
Finally, when it was time to rest, a team of more than 20 people found a shade to sit down and enjoy the shade, and when Li Wenwen came back with a water bladder to receive the mountain spring water, he heard Liu Xiaohei asking Chu Nanhuai this extremely stupid question.
Chu Nanhuai didn't answer Liu Xiaohei's interest at all, took the water bladder handed by Li Wenwen, drank half of it, exhaled happily, and kicked Liu Xiaohei's buttocks, "Go get some game and come back, today's meal hasn't landed yet!" Remember, only hunt live small animals, don't pick wild vegetables!"
Last time, when Liu Xiaohei went to look for food, he actually came back with a bundle of plants that he couldn't name, and it was said that it tasted very delicious, he had already tasted it raw, and was scolded by Chu Nanhuai for being a bloody dog.
Non-mountain spring water is not drunk, non-animals do not eat, when it is really time to eat vegetables, then only eat those wild vegetables that animals can chew, and never stuff things into their mouths indiscriminately, this is what Li Ye told Chu Nanhuai and others before leaving.
Liu Xiaohei didn't listen carefully at the time, and he was reprimanded by Chu Nanhuai countless times along the way. Now he even asked why the summer in the southern hemisphere was hot, and he was really angry with Chu Nanhuai.
After meditating for less than a stick of incense, Chu Nanhuai heard Liu Xiaohei's panicked voice shouting for help.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that Liu Xiaohei was being dragged by Li Wenwen and flew over the mountain, his shoulders were already covered with blood, and there were more than a dozen strange costumes behind him, and people with five short statures were screaming and chasing them.
"Indigenous?" Seeing the people chasing Liu Xiaohei, Chu Nanhuai hurriedly got up and ordered everyone to respond.
He knew that now he had met the natives in Li Ye's mouth, and he was also a powerful cultivator among them.
However, Chu Nanhuai was not afraid, there were only a dozen people on the other side, and the aura fluctuations that came were the strength of the real people in the spirit pool, and only the first three people barely reached the standard of the Yin God True Human Realm.
When they got closer, Chu Nanhuai saw their faces clearly. These people's heads are large and flat, their facial features are nothing special, their complexion is relatively dark, their clothing style is very old, and their colors are relatively bright.
These natives, every single one of them were angry, the kind of anger that saw a foreign invasion. They all had a brown staff in their hands, which looked a little weird and crooked, and their attack methods were relatively simple, obviously using the staff as a wooden stick.
Chu Nanhuai knew the purpose of his trip, and had been avoiding meeting and fighting with the natives. Being able to quietly and without waves to take away the potatoes described by Li Ye is the biggest victory, and there is no need for extraneous branches.
But now, Liu Xiaohei and Li Wenwen somehow provoked each other, and let them chase and kill them so fiercely. Chu Nanhuai did not hesitate, and ordered the monks to attack directly, and catch them first.
Fierce fighting broke out on both sides immediately.
Chu Nanhuai and the others soon discovered that the staff in the hands of these people could not only be used as sticks. As they stopped, they shook their heads and waved their staffs, and with the words in their mouths, a giant shadow of a fierce beast popped out of the staff, roaring and pounced on them.
Chu Nanhuai and the others didn't know the reality of the enemy, so they didn't reserve their shots, and the sword qi and sword light flew out like a tide of fire and wind blades, and scattered the fierce beasts in the air before they could face them.
The battle was not difficult for Chu Nanhuai and the others, although the opponent's spell was peculiar, but the power was not exaggerated, they relied on the realm and numerical advantage, and quickly surrounded these natives, and wounded and subdued them one by one.
The battle of half an hour was not very heavy for Chu Nanhuai and the others. It's just that some people were injured in the process, and those fierce beasts pounced on them, but anyone who broke through the aura barrier would be there
The monk was left with wounds.
Fortunately, there were only four or five injured people, and Chu Nanhuai didn't feel anything wrong.
These indigenous monks, tied up and thrown on the ground, still glared at the Tang monks, their mouths chattering, eager to pounce on them and bite off a piece of their flesh.
Chu Nanhuai was a little troubled. Naturally, he couldn't understand what the other party was saying, and he didn't have the time and interest to spend time and slowly understand the other party's language.
"Master, what should we do with these people? Are they all killed? Our whereabouts can't be exposed, right?" Liu Xiaohei leaned over and said. Although he screamed miserably, the wound on his shoulder was not too serious, and now he is bleeding no more.
"Shut up!" Chu Nanhuai didn't have a good face for Liu Xiaohei now, "Let you go find some food, how did you get hunted down?!"
Liu Xiaohei said aggrievedly: "I flew over a few mountains, and I saw a stone town on the other side of the mountain, although it is not big, but there are many people, and there is a large area of farmland outside the city. I was so happy that I thought I had something to eat this time, so I went to the city to collect some food......"
Hearing this, Chu Nanhuai didn't want to listen to it anymore.
Obviously, Liu Xiaohei, who was a thief, was discovered, but the key was that he did not escape in time, but was chased and killed by others.
However, since there are cities and farmland, Chu Nan has a lot of thoughts.
What better place to find grain seeds than in a ploughed field?
If there are really potatoes like Li Ye said here, these natives will definitely plant them, maybe there are them in those fields!
Originally, Chu Nanhuai and others searched for indigenous areas and farmland. It's just that the original plan was to explore covertly, but I didn't expect Liu Xiaohei to find it inadvertently, and it seems that the scale is not small.
It's a blind cat loaded with a dead mouse.
"How many people are there in the city, how many great monks have you found?" Chu Nanhuai hurriedly asked.
"There are tens of thousands. Liu Xiaohei recalled, "I don't know how many great monks there are. ”
Chu Nanhuai sank his face.
In a small city of tens of thousands of people, there are more than a dozen great monks with real human realm strength, and there may be more than that—after all, chasing Liu Xiaohei and Li Wenwen, there is no need for the other party's great monks to come out.
Are these natives so strong?
Chu Nanhuai felt that this was unlikely.
This kind of strength is much stronger than that of Datang, and there is no reason for it. If that were the case, they wouldn't have been hiding here a long time ago, but conquering the world.
Could it be that this small city of only a few tens of thousands of people is actually the capital of the indigenous people?
Chu Nanhuai felt that this idea was more reasonable.
If it is an indigenous capital, then the great monks in it are afraid that there will really be no less, and with the strength of their team, I am afraid it will be difficult to win head-on.
But the farmland is just outside the city, so if you don't go, how can you find potatoes?
Taking a detour to go somewhere else?
Chu Nanhuai fell into deep thought, wanting to come up with a foolproof plan.
In any case, the grain seeds are in front of us, and we can't just let them go. How anxious Li Ye was to get the kind of food called potatoes, Chu Nanhuai knew it in his heart.
Before Chu Nanhuai could come up with a strategy, the strange screams of the bound natives suddenly became high-pitched and full of momentum.
"Master, their reinforcements are coming!"
There was no need for Liu Xiaohei to speak out as a warning, Chu Nanhuai had already seen more than thirty great cultivators sweeping over, and the first few of them all had the strength of the Yang God True Realm!
Chu Nanhuai's heart tightened, he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have stayed here for so long, he should have moved to another place.
However, they were guest troops, and they were not familiar with the secret methods of these native monks, and no one knew if they had any way to locate their own people, or even know the situation of their companions.
"What shall we do?" asked Su Emei in a low voice, the first question she asked.
Chu Nanhuai took a deep breath: "After leaving for the teacher, you take Xiao Hei and Wenwen to go first! Since we have found the city and farmland here, it means that we have found the right location." After you leave, you will go out day and night, and act covertly, and it should not be long before you can bring the seeds back!"
That's the only way. There are too many people on the other side, and they can't communicate, so they have no malice and can't live in peace with each other.
It's just that Chu Nanhuai had just finished speaking, and Su Emei took the lead in rushing towards those indigenous great cultivators, "Master, it's better for you to take them to complete the task." The disciple is afraid that he will not be able to do it, and he will not dare to delay the major affairs of the dynasty and the entrustment of King An!"
When she said this, her tone was resolute, but her voice was calm.
Chu Nanhuai wanted to stop it too late, so he could only watch Su Emei transform into the state of a Guanghan fairy, swinging his sword and killing those fierce natives who were screaming.
"Let's go!" Chu Nanhuai knew that Su Emei would definitely not have the possibility of surviving this time, and his heart ached like a knife in an instant. But at this moment, he can only focus on the overall situation, drag Liu Xiaohei and Li Wenwen, turn around and leave.
"Master, slow down!" Li Wenwen shouted urgently.
Chu Nanhuai was in tears, but he knew that he couldn't hesitate, otherwise Su Emei and the others would die in vain.
This trip to find food was so dangerous and had to pay such a heavy price, which Chu Nanhuai had not expected before.
However, with a yield of fifty stones per mu, how can it be so easy to obtain food for people who starve to death in Datang?
How is it possible without paying the price?
"Master, stop, Senior Sister Su has shocked them all!" Liu Xiaohei shouted.
Chu Nanhuai knew that this was absolutely impossible, although Su Emei's combat strength was outstanding, but in the face of several great cultivators with the strength of the Yang God True Human Realm, there was still no chance of winning, let alone something to shock the other party.
But he couldn't help but look back.
At this glance, the strange scene in front of him made him stunned for a moment.
