Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 141 Homeless Cheng Yaojin!

Lianggua?

Li Fei's first reaction was cucumber. Cucumber is also called courgette. This thing was introduced from the Western Regions and later became what we call cucumber today.

But when I took a look at the bag of seeds, it didn’t look like cucumber seeds. What was a cucumber?

"Ding! Mission released: ripen watermelon to resist summer heat."

"Task reward: a certain reputation value will be given based on the degree of completion, and the resourcefulness will be increased by 4 points!"

uh-huh?

It turns out to be a big watermelon?
The origin of watermelon is in Africa. The first people to plant it were the Egyptians. It was introduced to the northwest border of China during the Tang Dynasty. It should be seen in the mainland during the Five Dynasties period.

At least for now, Li Fei has never seen what a watermelon looks like in Datang.

When the system made a squeak, Li Fei suddenly smiled. He took the packet of watermelon seeds handed over by Tu Gui and nodded: "Well, I can barely do it. I'll give you a pig's trotter to chew on."

Li Fei pulled off a trotter of the wild boar and completed the barter with him.

Tu Gui's face turned red from holding back.

In fact, he didn't know what the use of this kind of seed was, and the watermelon at this time was not spread to Tubo, because Tubo was not suitable for growing watermelon at all.

But this pig's trotter gave him a hard time. Several of his brothers were almost starving to death. How should he divide a pig's trotter?

"Is there anything else good?"

"I still have half a wild boar here. You can take it out and have a look. I'll give it to you if you can."

Li Fei cut off another rib, chewed it, and looked at Tugui vaguely and said.

Tugui was dumbfounded.

I am not an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. I am here to save the Prime Minister. How can I carry so many things?

But the smell of meat penetrated his nose desperately. Tugui looked at the pig's trotters in his hand, and tears of disappointment were about to flow from the corners of his mouth.

He turned around and left bitterly, holding the pig's trotters in his hand, and went to discuss with the Tubo people.

Not long after, he ran over again with a bunch of strange things.

Jade, luminous pearls, spices...

They are all inconspicuous things, far less valuable than the watermelon seeds of this period.

Li Fei unceremoniously rejected his request, leaving only a small pile of shriveled plants. According to the system, this should be pure wild Tianshan snow lotus.

After giving Tugui a pig's trotter again, Li Fei felt happy when he saw his angry and helpless look.

Can two pig's trotters be exchanged for Tianshan snow lotus in modern times?
Can you eat the first watermelon?

That's it, lunch is over.

Sun Simiao, Li Fei and others went back to their houses to rest. Li Fei ordered Xiaobai to hide in the mountains and forests to monitor the movements of the Tubo people.

They couldn't leave for a while, their muscles and bones had been injured for a hundred days, and they had to at least let Lu Dongzan recuperate for a few days before he could wait for an opportunity to escape.

Therefore, Tugui and the others stayed in the woods without being treated like living in a house.

"Sir, when shall we leave?"

A Tibetan man asked, wagging his fingers and still immersed in the excitement of a bite of roasted pig's trotters.

Tu Gui touched his stomach that was still growling, with a look of longing and unhappiness on his face, and said: "Stay for another three days, and we will leave after the Prime Minister recovers some strength."

"If it's too late, I'm afraid those Tang troops will come looking for us, and it will be too late to leave by then."

This was a last resort. Lu Dongzan had just fixed his limbs and bandaged his injuries. If he left immediately, it might become serious again.After hearing this, several Tubo people were worried and said nothing more.

At this moment, at the foot of Taibai Mountain.

Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong got off their horses and looked at Taibai Mountain above. Yuchi Jingde said, "We agreed to meet here. Where did Yaojin go?"

Qin Qiong was also a little puzzled, feeling like she had been let go for no reason.

It's better that we met at the foot of Taibai Mountain at noon today. It turned out that almost two hours had passed and there was still no sign of Cheng Yaojin.

"Forget it, let's wait a little longer. Maybe His Majesty will get the news and make any other plans."

Qin Qiong thought for a while and said.

The two of them waited where they were.

Almost an hour later, Yuchi Jingde's ears twitched slightly and he suddenly heard the sound of horse hoofbeats.

Not long after, they saw a fast horse approaching from far away, and Cheng Yaojin's figure appeared in their sight.

"This guy is finally here."

"I don't know why it took so long. Could it be that I slept in it?"

"If that's the case, I have to push him to the ground and beat him up."

While the two were talking, Cheng Yaojin had already arrived. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked listless. He had obviously not slept all night.

Turning over and dismounting, Cheng Yaojin looked at the two of them and his first words were: "It's over, we can't go back."

Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong: "???"

"What's the matter with you?"

"What happened?"

The two of them stared at each other, confused by Cheng Yaojin's words.

Cheng Yaojin sighed and said with helplessness: "A thief sneaked into Chang'an City last night, set a fire in Dali Temple, and rescued Lu Dongzan..."

"The entire Dali Temple was burned down, and even the residence of Hou Junji was completely burned down. It's so evil."

"I don't even dare to go to court in the morning. I heard that His Majesty asked the three of us and said that if we can't catch the culprit, we will come to see him..."

Is Dali Temple gone?
This breaking news immediately made Qin Qiong and Yuchi Jingde's eyes widen. Although Cheng Yaojin was on duty yesterday, the task of guarding Chang'an City had always been a matter for the three of them.

If something like this happens, the two of them can't be separated from each other!
"What a damn coincidence. I usually stay in Chang'an and don't see any thieves coming out to act like monsters. Something will happen now that I leave?"

Yuchi Jingde's face turned black, darker than before, and he cursed angrily.

Qin Qiong's face suddenly turned ugly and she asked, "What's the situation now? Have you found the thieves?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head helplessly: "What are you looking for? Now we know that those people escaped from the west city gate, and their martial arts are not ordinary. Who knows where they went?"

There is no way to go back now. Your Majesty is furious. If you go back, won't you be asking for trouble?

I remembered that last night I was planning to take credit for it, but the immortal Dali Temple caught fire. What a coincidence.

Wait, take credit?
An idea suddenly flashed in Cheng Yaojin's mind, and he hurriedly said: "By the way, there is no way to investigate this matter. Why don't we go find the doctor first?"

"If the young doctor can give you a few kind words, maybe the three of us will be fine?"

Thinking of the young doctor's identity, Cheng Yaojin felt more and more that his suggestion was feasible.

Qin Qiong also nodded and said: "Then don't talk nonsense. I hope the information given by Song Laosan is correct, otherwise we can't find the young doctor, and the three of us will really have to sleep on the street..."
