Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 139 The emperor still wants to trap Tibetan creatures

Yang De immediately called people forward, and Li Shimin and Yu Chigong got on their horses without hesitation, preparing for the battle.

The dozen or so people who were still able to fight got into position, with Li Shimin and Yuchi Gong riding behind.Soon, shouting sounded, followed by the muffled sound of horse hooves trampling on the sand.

Everyone looked solemn, not daring to look at where the sound of horse hooves was coming from.

Because the sky was dark, it was only when the distance was slightly closer that the person's face could be seen clearly in the moonlight.

There were more than twenty riders in total, dressed in Tubo costumes, with Tubo braided hair, all dressed up in Tubo style.There were several carriages following behind them, and the things on them could not be seen clearly due to the darkness.

I was already ready for battle, but I never thought that when the other party spoke, he would speak in Tang Dynasty Mandarin.

"We are merchants from the Tang Dynasty!"

The leader stood up and dismounted. After listening to his words, the others also dismounted.Several people walked to the carriages and led the carriages forward a few steps.

"I dare to ask the military master, but I am the Tang Army in Anxi?"

Yang De did not dare to be careless and held the spear in his hand tightly.

The businessman didn't care whether Yang De answered or not. After all, his purpose was not to chat with others.

"This road is becoming more and more difficult to walk." The businessman said in a sad tone. After a moment of silence, he said to Yang De: "Please accept these two carts of grain and grass, Master Jun!"

Having said this, the businessman bowed down, bowed respectfully, and then got on his horse.

"Take care of yourself!"

Yang De inserted the spear in his hand on the ground and crossed his hands in a solemn salute.

The businessman turned the horse's head, looked up to the sky and shouted: "The emperor still misses me trapping all living beings!"

After saying this, he rode away, leaving the two horses behind who were pulling the cart and snorting.

Judging from Yang De's appearance, he seemed to be used to this kind of thing. He stood there for a long time, seeming to be sighing at the plight of millions of people in several states.

After a long time, Yang Decai called on his soldiers to lead the carriage back to the camp.

With doubts in mind, Li Shimin dismounted and tied the white-tied crow again, and walked over to ask Yang De.

Yang De sighed and said to Li Shimin: "Nearly half of the grain and grass in this cart are donated by these kind merchants, so that our Anxi army can kill more enemies."

Lao Li was still sighing until he returned to the tent.

As a result, when he walked into the tent, he saw Li Qing holding a mobile phone in his hand and giggling under the quilt. He didn't even notice that he had walked in.

"Brother Xian, what are you doing?" Li Shimin approached curiously.

Li Qing quickly put the phone down and said as if nothing happened: "I'm chatting with someone, it's nothing."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Qing suspiciously, could the chat be so successful?
He did not go to find out what was going on. Instead, he lay back on the bed, put his hands behind his head, and sighed: "There are so many righteous men in Anxi! It is the imperial court that has failed them..."

"Then what else would you do? So many emperors have dug holes in the past, and Dezong and Li Shi don't have you." Li Qing said to Li Shimin intentionally or unintentionally while editing the news: "Don't expect too much from your children. Sometimes it’s good to learn to accept mediocrity in your children.”

"Although this is true, sometimes I can't get over the hurdle in my heart." Li Shimin sighed: "Forget it, I would be remiss if I didn't talk about this. How are things going between you and the third sister?"

Li Qing coughed twice and said as calmly as possible: "It's okay, that's it."

It's not that he doesn't want to tell the truth, he's just embarrassed.It smells so good and so fast. He still cares a little about face.

"My dear brother is also a mother-in-law, so I am not happy at all." Li Shimin said teasingly, and began to recall the past years: "Can't I learn from my brother? I think that when I first met your sister-in-law, I thought that She is the one who belongs to me in this life, so I immediately asked Aniang to find someone to propose marriage...but you, are you still planning to let Third Sister, a girl, take the initiative?"

Li Qing:  …

Your sister has already taken the initiative?It almost made me realize what it means to "stop the war in the southeast."

He looked down at his phone and couldn't help but giggle again.

Doggy men and women in love are like this, even chatting with pink bubbles.Li Qing really enjoyed the feeling of being cared about, especially now that he was immune to the dog food of Brother Li and his wife. It was really great.

After chatting with Li Xiuning for a while about what happened in the past two days, he fell into a deep sleep.He didn't know how long it took, but he suddenly felt someone shaking him, accompanied by loud warning calls from outside the tent.

"Dear brother, wake up quickly, there is a horse thief!"

Li Shimin saw Li Xingxing turning around, told him to stay in the tent, and then strode out of the tent with a bow and arrow.

Li Qing immediately stood up, put on his shoes, and reached out of the tent with a long knife.

Looking by the moonlight, the horse thieves were shouting in an incomprehensible language and surrounding him from all directions.

Fortunately, there were only a few on horseback among them, and the rest were infantry, carrying a variety of weapons, ranging from long knives to hammers.

After all, the horse thieves were no match for the regular army, and with the help of Li Shimin and Yu Chigong, there were not even any casualties.As soon as the several bandit leaders on horseback died, the remaining bandits on horseback immediately dispersed.

On the one hand, bandits have no courage, but on the other hand, Yu Chigong's way of killing people is too scary. One of the horse bandit leaders was lifted into the sky by Yu Chigong and his horse, and he fell to the ground without knowing whether he was alive or dead.With such a vivid example in front of Zhuyu, the bandits shouted and ran away without a trace.

One of them panicked and rushed in front of Li Qing, but Li Qing chopped him to the ground with a knife.

The feeling of killing was very strange. Li Qing originally thought that he would be excited due to the surge of adrenaline, or his heart would beat violently, or he would tremble.However, he was surprised to find that he was very calm, as if what he had just killed was a fly.

Maybe he really ate this bowl of rice?Li Qing couldn't help but have some self-doubt.

"Young brother actually has such skill?" Li Shimin smiled and came over and patted Li Qing on the shoulder.

Since there were no casualties, the atmosphere in the camp was not bad. The veterans gathered together and even talked and laughed. It seemed that what they had just experienced was not an enemy attack, but a opera troupe singing a great play.

"Killing is quite simple." Li Qing said, dragging the body and throwing it far away.

"Qin... is this the first time he kills someone?" Yu Chigong looked at Li Qing in surprise. He thought that as an immortal, Li Qing had [-] lives in his hands, if not a thousand.

However, what he didn't expect was that Li Qing didn't even kill a few mosquitoes, let alone people.

Those who use mosquito coils do not count.

"What, isn't your posture wrong?" Li Qing even had the intention to tell a joke, but he really didn't have any burden on his mind.

"No, it's just a bit unexpected." Yuchi Gong laughed.

"You can only be considered a real man if you have killed someone." Li Shimin looked at Li Qing with satisfaction and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.Li Qing rolled his eyes, what's your theory?
But it's true. In the troubled times like ancient times, the old men would be embarrassed to say hello to others if they didn't have a few lives on their hands.

After a fierce battle, he was no longer sleepy.Li Qing glanced at his watch, it was almost five o'clock.

Yang De ordered them to rest for a while and eat the morning meal before setting off.

Li Qing was sitting in the tent, choking on a pancake that was as hard as an armor-piercing baguette. He held his mobile phone in his other hand and left a message to Li Xiuning telling what happened just now.

He even told Li Xiuning like he was showing off that he had just killed someone with a knife.

"There is no chance of choking, dear brother." Li Shimin walked in with two bowls and placed one in front of Li Qing, "Let's soak in the broth before eating, otherwise this cheek will be exhausted sooner or later."

This meat was from yesterday's dead horse. I originally planned to save it for the sick, but I never expected that two more dead horses would be added today.

It was overheated in the desert and the meat could not be stored, so Yang De simply decided to divide all the meat and destroy it on the spot without leaving any survivors.

Horse meat is really unpalatable, but Li Qing found the meat unpalatable and was hungry all night last night, and now his eyes are glowing green.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if you were to give him a piece of raw horse meat now, he would probably start talking directly.

"Don't worry, brother, I cooked the broth this time." Li Shimin sat on the ground and said with a smile, "This is what I learned from Huotou Army when I ran thousands of miles to attack Wulao Pass."

Since it was Li Shimin's craftsmanship, Li Qing really had to give it a try.

No matter how bad Brother Li's skills are, he still has to be better than Yang De, right?
Maybe……

"My cheek is almost dislocated." He cut the hard cake into small pieces with a knife and soaked it in the broth.

When the pancakes were completely softened, Li Qing started impatiently.When I'm hungry, this broth is not too bad to drink.

"It's too damn fishy..." Li Qing was disgusted while eating.

Can it not smell fishy?The horse was directly shot to death by the Tibetan cavalry without even bleeding.

"It's good to eat some. During the most miserable days, I even ate mice and cowhide." Li Shimin swallowed the horse meat steamed bun in the bowl. "Being able to eat this back then was a dream."

This bowl of broth has no seasonings and is basically boiled in plain water.Li Qing ate a bowl and felt that his whole brain was about to explode.

After I had a little food in my stomach, I began to dislike the fishy broth.

"Another bowl?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Li Qing waved his hand, then realized something was wrong and suddenly changed his words: "I was stunned by this broth. One bowl is enough. Another bowl may cost me half my life." Alright, let’s count the balls.”

"Hahahaha..." Li Shimin smiled and pointed at Li Qing.

It's not that Li Qing doesn't want to eat something good, but it's not a good idea to specialize in this kind of environment. Furthermore, he also wants to temper his will - to a certain extent, he takes off his pants and farts.

After eating and drinking, and resting until dawn, the group set foot on the road to Kucha City again.

In this era, the Western Region was not completely covered by yellow sand like in later generations, but there were also many deserted beaches and grasslands without desertification.But speaking of it, this deserted beach is not as good as sand. At least the sand is soft and light when walking on it, and it is not as harsh as the deserted beach.

If we really want to wait for the desertification of the Western Region, we will have to wait until the global climate becomes colder in a few hundred years.

Tubo gradually declined after the climate became colder, and even completely withdrew from the stage of regional hegemony.

Every time I passed an oasis, I stopped to replenish the water source.In these days, we didn’t have the habit of drinking boiled water. We basically drank the water directly as it was clean and hygienic.

Li Qing couldn't drink boiled water at all. Whenever he stopped to cook rice, he had to boil the water before drinking. He seemed so out of tune with the entire team.

Not to mention these Anxi troops, even the emperor Li Shimin couldn't understand Li Qing's habits.

What could Li Qing say? There are germs in the water?Who would believe it?

If we really have to wait until the whole nation develops the habit of drinking hot water, we still have to wait until the 50s to develop it as a last resort in order to fight against the vicious bacterial war.

Once some habits are formed, it is difficult to change, such as the habit of drinking hot water.

During the day, we met several groups of merchants. They were the same as the group of merchants last night. Some came to donate food and grass, some came to donate herbs, and some even came directly to deliver weapons, bows and arrows.

Yang De did not refuse the goodwill of the merchants. After thanking them with folded hands, he watched them ride away.

In the evening, everyone was preparing to bury the pots to make rice, but suddenly they realized that something was wrong, and thick smoke could be vaguely seen in the distance.

"Go and have a look." Yang De turned around and said to Li Erhan.

Li Erhan was ordered to leave. He climbed over the hill in front, looked down, and immediately came back to report the situation.

"The team is standing, there is a village ahead, and the Tibetans are burning, killing and looting in the village!"

"Damn, you Tubo brat!" Yang De cursed through gritted teeth.Looking back, he found that there were only a dozen soldiers who could fight with him.

"How many are there?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.

"Tubo plundering has become a routine. Hundreds of people are dispatched at least every time." Yang De spat angrily, "Every time they plundered, all the old and weak in the village were killed. Ding Zhuangla did it. Slave sale!”

As he spoke, Yang De suddenly turned to Li Shimin, crossed his hands and said, "Li Zhuangshi."

"My seriously injured brother, as well as these supplies, are entrusted to you." Yang De said solemnly: "When we get to Qiuci City, the prince will be very grateful!"

"What are you doing?" Li Shimin suddenly had a bad feeling.

"As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, there is no reason to sit back and watch our fellow villagers suffer." Yang De said, putting on his helmet.

"But there are only a dozen of you..." Li Shimin frowned.

Yang De turned back and looked at his group of soldiers: "Brothers, there are only a dozen of us, but there are hundreds of Tibetan dogs on the opposite side. Tell me, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid of him!" Li Erhan spat, "The fathers of Anxi are willing to risk their lives to help our Anxi Army. Naturally, we can't be weak! They are the Lord of Hell, and I have to shave off a few of his beards. Come down!"

"Okay!" Yang De praised, turned to Li Shimin and crossed his hands: "Li Zhuangshi, please!"

"But aren't you going to die?" Yu Chigong asked incomprehensively.

"I can buy time for my fellow villagers to escape before I die. It's worth it!" Yang De spat viciously!
"Yes! It's worth it!" Others responded one after another.
