bastard seizes tang

Chapter 186
In the fourth year of Zhenguan, Jieli Tieshan was defeated and was taken captive to Chang'an, and it has been two years in a blink of an eye.

Xieli has changed a lot in the past two years, and his original ambitions have long since been consumed by the daily drinking and meat. For him, it is a blessing to be able to save the lives of himself and his son Dieluoshi.

In the past two years, Xieli spent his days in a daze and drank alcohol, and his originally healthy body was quickly worn down. Especially since this summer, Xieli has lost a lot of weight. The situation, whether it can survive this year is a question.

Jieli was also a hero and a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin always looked at Jieli differently than others. Apart from the hatred that had passed, it was more of a sigh and sadness.

Seven years ago, if Jieli had sent troops southward by the Wei River, would he be Li Shimin now a prisoner?
But there are no ifs in the history books. When Jieli hesitated to move forward by the Weishui River, today's ending was already doomed.

But even so, every time Li Shimin saw Jieli's relaxed appearance, his mood was always inexplicably depressed.

Because of this, Li Shimin didn't want to come to see Jieli. When the two met, it was not only Li Shimin, but also Xieli who felt sad.

Li Ke was ordered by Li Shimin, and as soon as he left the palace, he went straight to Chongrenfang, the mansion of General Youwei of Jieli.

Jieli, the right-wing general, has a false name, but he doesn't command the military. The guards are strict, but everyone knows the reason why the Xieli mansion, which has lost power, has such strict guards.

"I have been ordered by my father to come here to visit the general, and report quickly." Li Ke got off his horse outside the residence of the general of the right guard, and ordered the guards guarding the gate.

Although the guards in Xieli Mansion were strict, they did not restrict Xieli's freedom, and it was not a problem for the people in Xieli Mansion to come and go.

Li Ke came here at the emperor's order, neither Jieli nor the guards at the gate dared to be slighted, Li Ke didn't speak for a moment, a woman in a Hu suit came from the inner courtyard and led Li Ke in.

Although Xieli was a prisoner, Li Shimin didn't have the slightest difficulty in living and eating, on the contrary, he lived in a very comfortable place. Not to mention, the courtyard where Xieli lived was very spacious and located in Chang'an. The city is also worth thousands of gold.

But what really surprised Li Ke was not the size of the compound, but its layout.

Jieli was born in the grassland and used to living in a large tent on the grassland. In the inner courtyard where Jieli lived, the original house was demolished and replaced by a huge tent that did not match the surroundings. , very oddly.

"The general is here. Li Ke is here to visit at the order of his father." Li Ke walked outside the door of the big tent and said inside the tent.

General or Khan, Li Ke also carefully considered the title of Xieli. After all, he was in Chang'an, and he should be called the official position conferred by the Tang Dynasty, so Li Ke called him General.

"Your Highness is an honored guest, so please come in quickly." Li Ke stood outside the door, and Xieli's weak voice came from inside the tent.

Based on Jieli's current situation and Li Ke's status in Chang'an, Li Ke is the king and Jieli is a minister.But when Li Ke went outside the mansion, Xieli didn't pay out the bill. From this, it can be seen that Xieli is really terminally ill.

Li Ke had actually speculated about Xieli's possible appearance, but when Li Ke really saw Xieli with his own eyes, he was still shocked by Xieli's appearance.

The high-spirited prairie eagle in those days lost its wings and was bound to Chang'an for only two years, but Xieli has changed like two different people.

Thin to the point of sunken eye sockets, sallow complexion, gray temple hair, and scruffy beard, lying lifelessly on the beard bed, apart from this appearance, Li Ke couldn't tell the old man in front of him anyway. It is connected with Jieli Khan, who was all-powerful in the Northland back then.

"How did the general lose so much weight?" Li Kefang asked in surprise the first time he saw Jieli.

Jieli replied: "I am a person who deserves to die. It is His Majesty's kindness to be able to survive until now. I am very fortunate. Now it seems that I must be at the end of my life."

Through Xieli's eyes, Li Ke seemed to see an old man who was so ordinary that he couldn't be more ordinary. Li Ke couldn't find any of Xieli's vigor back then, and what he had was only the smell of old age and alcohol.

Li Ke comforted: "General, don't worry, I have countless good doctors in the Tang Dynasty. As long as the general relaxes and follows the medicine carefully, he will recover one day."

Jie Li shook his head and sighed: "The body belongs to me. If the body is not finished, I know better than anyone else. Your Highness doesn't need to comfort me."

Hearing Xieli's words, Li Ke felt sad for a while. Xieli himself didn't want to live, so who could save him?

Li Ke didn't know how to comfort Xie Li for a while, he just said: "The general is in Chang'an, if you need anything in daily life, just ask someone to tell me, I will try to arrange it."

Jie Li said: "At the beginning, His Majesty's words came true, and the house His Majesty prepared for me was finally used. This house is very good, and the wine and meat are also very suitable for my appetite, so I don't need His Majesty to worry about it."

Six years ago, when Li Ke first arrived in Turkic, he mentioned it when he was arguing with Jieli in words. It's on point.

Hearing Xieli's words, Li Ke couldn't help being in a trance for a while. Before he knew it, it had been six years since he first came to Turkic, and it had been two years since he returned to Chang'an.

Li Ke sighed: "It's been six years, and the days have passed so quickly. Now that I think about it, the scene when I first arrived in Jinshan seems to be still in front of me."

As Li Ke said, there was a trace of sentimentality and regret in his eyes.

When Li Ke mentioned the first arrival in Jinshan, he naturally remembered the scene, events and people of that day.

The day he first arrived in Jinshan was also the first time he met her.

As for the huge grassland, besides Ashinayun, who else could Li Ke miss so much?
Now, it has been two years since Li Ke returned to Chang'an, and Ashinayun also stayed in Yinshan for two years. During these two years, although Li Ke had asked the general at Yinshan to take care of him more, but Ashinayun had passed through Yinshan. How, Li Ke didn't know at all.

Ashina Yun seemed to deliberately not want Li Ke to get news of her. Although he had Li Ke's jade seal in his hand, he never used it.

Ashinayun did not show up, and Li Kezi had no way of getting news of her.

If it were on a normal day, when Li Ke was alone, he thought that maybe Li Ke could still suppress his thoughts, but at this time, in front of Xieli, he thought of the familiar face in his mind again, how could Li Ke think of it? I can't control my mouth anymore.

Li Ke asked: "The general has been in Chang'an for two years, have you ever heard from Ayun?"

Jieli looked at Li Ke and replied, "Ah Yun knows that I am sick, so I must be on my way to the south at this time, and I should arrive in Chang'an in a few days."
