Chapter 813: The beauty trap is difficult to achieve
The day's performance was over again, and the troupe all crowded into a big tent.【】
The tent was set up under a large sand dune. This mobile city was originally stationed on an endless stretch of cliffs. There were undulating sand dunes everywhere, with clumps of desert plants growing in between. So when the hustle and bustle of the day was over,
, when the "city" fell into silence, it was still very quiet.
In addition to the fortified military camps that rolled up and down like mountains as far as the eye could see, the tents where businessmen were stationed were far away from each other.
Tang Saier knelt down in front of Xia Xun, and beat his legs with her small fists in a serious manner. Originally, this was a matter between Xilin and Jeanne. The two of them were originally serving Xia Xun. After becoming his women, they served him even more.
It was a matter of duty, but the little girl felt that as her goddaughter, she should show her filial piety, so she happily snatched the job.
Xia Xun leaned on a box containing props and gestured with his hands on the worn-out felt rug. The rug was very old and badly worn in some places. Because people walked in and out too frequently, there was a thin layer on the rug.
Xia Xun's fingers traced the thin sand on the felt carpet, leaving traces.
"Yu Jue has been following Guo Yixuan for several days. From what we know now, Guo Yixuan is just a scholar under Timur. Although he has a higher status and is respected by others, he is not a military general. It is difficult to
I had the opportunity to meet Timur directly.
Moreover, our best choice is to kill without leaving any trace, so Yujue's line is temporarily unavailable, but I have told him to continue to stay with Guo Yixuan and collect news at any time in case of emergencies.
need."
Chen Dong coughed and interjected: "In the past few days, several female soldiers have come to our performance every day. One of them seemed to be particularly interested in Lao Sai, and even chatted with him. These female soldiers
They are all pro-military people, can we use a handsome man trick..."
"Ah? Where is Chen Dong? Don't talk nonsense." Before he could finish speaking, Sai Hazhi jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his old face turned red with embarrassment, and he turned pale and anxious.
excuse.
Ye An rolled his eyes and said: "It's not a bad thing if a woman likes you. You have such a big face, Lao Sai. Why are you so embarrassed? One time when they were leaving, Zangfeng heard their conversation and there was a female soldier.
If you make fun of the girl you are talking to and say, "Since you like her, just tell her that she likes you too." Doesn't this mean she likes you?"
Sehazhi's dark face turned into an eggplant color, with a blushing face and thick neck, he said: "I have never liked her since. I don't even know what she looks like."
Chen Dong laughed and said: "Come on, we didn't say her name, so you already know who we are talking about. This is not asking for help."
Ye An smiled and said: "Among us, who is not more handsome than you? That beard looks like a hedgehog, but that woman likes you, it's really inexplicable."
Sehazhi raised his beard and said triumphantly: "Only a man with a big body and a round waist like me can be manly. You don't understand."
In Tang Saier's heart, her godfather was the most perfect man, and she immediately said unconvinced: "My godfather is the most manly man."
Xia Xun coughed and said with a straight face: "We are discussing important matters, and there must be a limit to joking. What kind of beauty trap? It's all whimsical."
Everyone quickly suppressed their smiles, and only Weiwei said yes.
Everyone's faces suddenly showed strange expressions. Xia Xun just ignored them and continued: "They come from a Turkic tribe called Deke. Their tribe is about fifteen days' horse ride away from Samarkand. In the past, they
They were surrendered to the Roman Empire, and now they are surrendered to Timur. Their tribe believes in Nestorianism, but at the same time they maintain some of their own tribal habits..."
In fact, according to the information Zangfeng found out, the Dyke tribe believed in the Orthodox Church. However, if Xia Xun said that they believed in the Orthodox Church, no one present would understand what kind of sect it was. In the Tang Dynasty, when the Christian sect entered the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Jing
Xia Xun referred to Orthodox Christianity as Nestorian Christianity to facilitate everyone’s understanding.
Xia Xun said: "In their tribe, the status of women is much higher than that of men. To be precise, they are men who lead the inside and women who lead the outside. Therefore, there are many women in the tribe who are brave and good at fighting and are not inferior to men in close combat.
Warriors, this is why when Timur recruited troops from various tribes, all the soldiers sent by the Dyke tribe were female soldiers.
For these reasons, it is difficult for a woman in this tribe to obey a man just because she likes him. In fact... it is quite the opposite. Therefore, if Lao Sai really used a beauty trick to seduce the woman, she would also
I only know how to make a bet, marry Lao Sai, take care of the housework and take care of the children, how can I be owned by him and listen to his orders?"
Everyone looked at Ha Zhi with a heavy back, imagining him carrying a little baby on his back, sitting on the threshold holding the soles of his shoes, waiting for his wife, who had returned from herding, to cuddle up to her as soon as she entered the house.
Sehazhi couldn't help but shivered smartly, and even the hairs on his hair stood on end, with a look on his face that he would rather die than surrender.
While everyone was discussing matters in the tent, Zangfeng and Gaibang'er, the two assistants sent by Harry Sultan to Xia Xun, were patrolling around the tent one after another. They were doing something casually and were wary of the approach of outsiders.
In the tent, the discussion continued. One plan after another was proposed, and one after another was rejected. In the end, no one could come up with a plan that even seemed feasible, and everyone's interest dropped.
After a lot of hard work, I finally reached Timur, but now there was only a few miles away, but it became a trench that was difficult to cross.
It's impossible to kill him or see him, which is really frustrating.
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, Xia Xun said: "Don't be depressed, you can always come up with a solution, just be patient."
Chen Dongdao: "If we have enough time, we may be able to come up with a proper solution. The problem is, what we are short of now is time."
After hearing this, Xia Xun couldn't help but sigh softly. He lowered his eyes and saw that Tang Sai'er had stopped fisting, slightly frowning her delicate eyebrows, and was trying to think of a way, like a little adult.
It made people laugh, and they couldn't help but laugh: "Does my little fairy daughter have any magical skills that can allow us to pass through that person's heavy defenses and appear in front of him?"
Xia Xun was just joking to lighten the dull atmosphere. Unexpectedly, Tang Saier asked seriously: "Godfather, is it really so long to enter that person's military camp and then to where he lives?
"
Xia Xun said: "Yes, I'm afraid it's more than a few miles. There are countless camps and soldiers and horses along the way. Even at night, there is an endless stream of police posts on patrol. There are bright and dark sentries interspersed in between, and there are trenches and thorns. They
The camp also raises many desert dogs, and this is just the news that your Uncle Liu has inquired about. As for more deployments, we don’t know. Such deployments are particularly strict compared to the palace. Even a mouse will
You can’t even hope to successfully pass through these layers of barriers.”
Tang Sai'er said unconvinced: "That's not necessarily true. If I have enough tools and manpower, I can completely wipe out such a big tent, let alone hide a few people."
Xia Xun's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "So, if we provide you with enough manpower to make everything you need, is there any way you can let us in?"
Tang Saier hesitated: "This..., but..."
"Um?"
"But... you have to ask me to walk through it inside and out, and understand all the parts inside, so that I know what I need to use."
When Xia Xun heard this, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

In the bathroom, Guo Yixuan spread out his limbs and lay comfortably on the "belly stone". An authentic Turkish "tanrak" (masseur) coated his hands with olive oil and pushed, took, kneaded and pressed Guo Yixuan's body just now.
The skin that had been steamed by high temperature was massaged like this, and the whole body turned red like cooked shrimps.
Liu Yujue was sitting on a wooden stool nearby. On another low stool in front of him was an open food box, which contained mutton skewers, yogurt, milk, hazelnuts and other snacks.
Liu Yujue is now Guo Yixuan's student. Guo Yixuan sometimes asks him to help him every day at work. During his breaks, he teaches him various aspects of knowledge such as Turkic language, mathematics, and engineering. Perhaps because of his compatriots, Guo Yixuan is very interested in this.
The students valued and cared about him very much, even taking him to bathe with him.
Liu Yujue sat on a wooden bench with a white towel around her waist, took a sip of yogurt, and said to Guo Yixuan: "But...teacher, the Jiayuguan Pass is unreachable and indestructible. I came from there and have seen it before.
It's so steep that even ten times as many troops wouldn't be able to attack it."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Guo Yixuan was lying on the "belly stone", enjoying the service of the masseur with his eyes closed. When he heard the student's innocent words, he laughed happily. He did not open his eyes, but just waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Traditional city architecture likes to build tall walls, but in the face of increasingly powerful siege weapons, those giant-like walls are the easiest to break through.
What is a man's sword? What is a thousand horses and a thousand troops? The truly powerful weapon is knowledge. Several scholars and I have jointly written a letter to the Khan, suggesting that the city wall of Samarkand be renovated and that the old-fashioned tall barrier walls and arrow towers be replaced.
It was demolished and renovated.”
Guo Yixuan said with a smile: "The purpose of building city walls is to block the enemy, and the strong passes have always been the continuation of the proposition thousands of years ago, especially our eastern city defenses, which have not changed for more than a thousand years.
If there are changes, latecomers just keep repairing and building it higher, and then higher, and still higher. It's sad.
Yuluo, you should study hard with your teacher. When you have certain attainments in military architecture, you will find that traditional city defense buildings are far behind the times. The so-called indestructibility is just a
It’s just a joke”
