After serving Li Yuan for lunch, Li Yourong was hesitant to speak. Li Yuan was drinking tea when he caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Li Yourong told her about the news that Li Shimin told her, and then said: "Grandpa Huang, my uncle treats me like his own son. He came to Chang'an this time. I want to repay his kindness. I want to use some money in the account to buy some for my uncle."
thing."
Li Yuan laughed and said: "What do I mean? You don't have to ask me about money matters. You have the final say in heaven and earth. You just have to pay it to your account. Besides, this is filial piety, and there is nothing wrong with it. Now you
Your parents are gone, and your uncle has taken care of you for so many years. It is natural for you to be filial to him. Go ahead, don’t be stingy with money, buy good things, buy things that are not available in the Turks, and let your uncle know
For a moment, I am Datang Property."
"Thank you, Grandpa Huang." Li Yourong smiled, bowed obediently, and turned around to go out.
Seeing her happy look, Li Yuan felt happy in his heart. He picked up the teacup and took another sip, then called Little Eunuch Chen over and asked him to accompany him to lower the military flag.
Li Yourong took fifty taels of silver from the account and took a car to the West Market. Although the goods in the East Market were better and more expensive, they were not necessarily suitable for the taste of the Turks. Although the goods in the West Market were rougher, they were more in line with the Turks.
Human aesthetics.
When she arrived at the gate of the East Market, Li Yourong got off the carriage and asked the groom to wait. She entered the West Market alone. There was no shortage of coolies to help carry things in the West Market. As long as you gave them a small amount of money, thirty or fifty cents, they could help.
Take the things to the car.
After Li Yourong settled in the heaven and earth, she rarely went out. The few times she went out were for shopping. This time, she was buying things for her uncle. Unlike shopping, she had no experience, so she wandered aimlessly.
After walking and walking, we came to a shop. Standing at the door, we could smell the aroma of barbecue. For Turks like Li Yourong, barbecue is something they are very familiar with. Once you smell it, you will know whether the barbecue is good or not.
Delicious. This shop just has the pure taste of the prairie.
Seemingly attracted by the scent, Li Yourong walked in. The shop was newly opened, a little deserted, and there were no people there. There were only two bearded men, and they looked a little menacing. When they saw Li Yourong come in, they didn't look at her, but looked behind him.
Look. If Li Mu were here, he would definitely recognize that these two bearded men were the same ones he sent to the Chang'an County government office that day. He took away their Parthian fennel and gave them a penny to cook it.
They were compensated and allowed to find a way to make a living again. Unexpectedly, the two brothers used the money to buy a shop in the West Market and started a barbecue business.
Unfortunately, the two of them could not speak Chinese, so business was still not good.
"Why are you here? Is there a tail behind you? (Turkic)"
"No, I'm very careful. Where is my foster father? (Turkic)"
"What's the matter with you? The leader is not in Chang'an. He said we can't meet casually. Just tell me. (Turkic)"
Li Yourong hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wants to confer Tuli on the throne. Tuli will come to Chang'an soon. My identity will be exposed soon. Please let your adoptive father know this news as soon as possible. (Turkic language)"
"Okay, we will notify the leader as soon as possible. You can go back and don't make people suspicious. (Turkic)"
Li Yourong nodded and was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a familiar yet annoying voice came from behind her: "Ouch? I thought I was dazzled, why is it you? What are you doing in the West City?"
Li Yourong looked back and saw that it was indeed Li Mu. She calmed down and said calmly: "I came to buy a gift for my uncle. I passed by here and saw that the barbecue tasted like the prairie. I wanted to buy some for Grandpa Huang to eat. Why, can't I?
?”
"Who says it can't be done?" Li Mu smiled and said, "Just asking, why are you nervous?" Li Mu looked inside the shop and saw the two bearded brothers. He was surprised and said, "It's you, do you still remember me?"
? You use the money I gave you to open a shop here, you have a good mind! You will definitely make money!"
The two bearded brothers looked frightened and took a step back.
Li Mu laughed and said, "Don't worry, it was a misunderstanding last time. I won't arrest you again." Li Mu said, and said to Li Yourong: "Tell them for me that what happened last time was a misunderstanding and let them do their best.
Business."
Li Yourong said nothing and looked at him indifferently.
Li Mu asked for trouble and said, "Can you be tired of translating? You won't even help with such a small thing!" Li Mu pouted, waved to the shop, and left with Dugu Jiu.
I came to West City to discuss something with Feng Si, and I didn't bother to chat with Li Yourong.
Seeing Li Mu walking away, Li Yourong let out a sigh of relief. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she always felt afraid of Li Mu.
Li Yourong turned around and looked at the bearded brother and said, "How did you get involved with him? He is Zhuluhou Li Mu. He is very smart and very dangerous. You should stay away from him."
The bearded man said indifferently: "This matter has nothing to do with you. It was told by the leader. You don't need to know." After saying that, he cut a leg of lamb from the barbecue grill, packed it, and handed it to Li Yourong.
"I understand." Li Yourong stopped asking, took the leg of lamb, and turned to leave.
The bearded brothers looked at each other and closed the shop early. The two brothers locked the door and went straight to the west gate of Chang'an City. After leaving the city gate, there was no one around, and the two men no longer hid, and started running wildly. After a while,
, arrived at a post station. There was actually a horse they had stored here. After drinking water and resting for a while, the two mounted their horses and headed west.
After walking for another two hours, you can see a huge camp in the distance. This is the Gaochang mission that will arrive in Chang'an tomorrow. Originally, the mission was not so big and was surrounded by caravans. This is a common phenomenon.
From Chang'an to the west, bandits are frequently banned. If a caravan travels alone, it is likely to be robbed. Therefore, it is often accompanied by a group, or like this, following the government's team, or traveling as an envoy. Although you need to pay some fees, it is still better than being transported by a caravan.
The loss is much smaller if you rob.
The two of them were galloping on horseback, naturally much faster than the mission. For the mission, it was a day's journey, but the two of them were riding horses, and it only took a few hours.
They came to the west side of the mission, where the caravans were stationed. Outside each caravan tent, there would be its own mark. The two quickly found the place. Before they entered the tent, they heard coughing coming from inside.
The guards guarding the tent door recognized them and let them in without stopping them.
The two of them knelt down to the middle-aged man on the bed: "Chief. (Turkic)."
Seeing the two of them, the middle-aged man on Hu's bed held back his cough and said, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"There are no mistakes. The things the leader told us have been completed. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty already knows the news about the Western Turks. There is also the matter of the eldest lady. As the leader thought, the eldest lady has already moved into Zhuluhou Mansion. We are here
When I came back this time, I had other news that I wanted to tell the leader. (Turkic)"
After that, the bearded man stepped forward and whispered a few words in the middle-aged man's ear.
A cold light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, he waved his hand and said: "I understand, you go and have a rest first, then come with me tomorrow, I will handle this matter."
The bearded brother knelt down and saluted again, turned around and left the tent. As soon as they walked out, the middle-aged man started coughing again.
A shadow floated into the tent like a ghost, and stood beside the middle-aged man with hands tied. After he finished coughing, he said, "Chief, are you okay?"
Although it was a word of concern, there was no trace of emotion when it was spoken by this person. The same was true of his appearance, his face was pale, like a living corpse.
"Ahem!" the middle-aged man coughed again and said, "I won't die, I'll just suffer. I didn't expect that the bearded man's punch caused me to suffer for so many years."
"The only person in the world who can withstand a punch from the bearded man without dying is the leader."
"Ha, it seems like an honor!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly and started coughing again. It took him a long time to stop, and he thought to himself: "This time I heard that Dr. Sun appeared in Chang'an, and I hoped to ask for a medicine to cure it.
I still missed the treatment of my internal injuries. Is this God trying to kill me, Zhang Xun? Haha! I don’t believe in fate. Even if I die, I can’t die now. I have to go through a lot of troubles to let the world
Remember my name so that your journey through this world is not in vain!"
"Ghosting, did you hear what Ada said?"
"heard it."
"You should run away. No matter what method you use, you can't let Tuli reach Chang'an alive. Because of Nazha's identity, I attacked a Tiele tribe, killed Tuli's sister and Li Jiancheng's daughter, and used
It cost me half my life to snatch the jade token from the bearded man. The trap that was set up with such great effort cannot be destroyed before it is over. Anyone who ruins my business will die.
!”
"Yes!" the ghost responded, his figure flashed, and disappeared silently just like when he came.
Zhang Xun coughed again, and the sound became louder and louder. Freshly brewed medicine was brought outside. He drank it while it was hot. It took him a while to calm down. His eyelids gradually became heavy, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
In his confusion, he had that dream again.
Lingzhou, a small inn. Zhang Xun learned that his cousin Zhang Zhongjian was entrusted by someone to escort a child. At this time, there was a rebellion in the world, and he was also determined to participate in it, but he had no choice but to have no food and grass and could not afford to raise an army. This
The child's parents are both extraordinary, so they become his hope.
There was no Zhangjiazhai at that time, and the horse bandits in Longyou were most famous for their "swarm of bees".
Zhang Xun is one of the leaders of this swarm in Lingzhou.
He entangled dozens of people and surrounded the small inn, trying to snatch the child from the bearded guest. However, he did not expect that the martial arts of the beard was far beyond his imagination. Dozens of people were helpless against him. Zhang Xun and the beard
The guest fought head-on, but the flaw was revealed within three moves. He was punched in the chest and immediately vomited blood.
In panic, he grabbed a handful at random, thinking he had caught the child, but it turned out to be a burden.
In the baggage, apart from a few children's clothes, there was only a jade plaque.
Zhang Xun suddenly woke up. He slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "I don't know how that child is doing now..."
