"Haha! In the past, the entire southeast region of the grassland was naturally Tuli's territory. But now, Xieli Khan is amassing a large number of troops to encircle and suppress Tuli. Tuli has sent people to the Great Tang several times to ask for help, so Xieli must be on guard against him escaping from the grassland and seeking refuge with the Great Tang. Therefore, Xieli must have sent troops to guard the borders of the grassland to prevent Tuli from escaping!
Since Xieli sent troops to guard against Tuli's escape, he must have sent tribes closer to Tuli's house. Thus, this old man said that we came from the Pugu Tribe, and the Pugu Tribe is located in the heart of the grassland, far away from here. Even if the guards here find us unfamiliar, they probably won't find it strange, so they didn't make things too difficult for us! "
On the grassland, Tang Jian, who had passed through many checkpoints, was leading the group forward quickly while explaining to the guard beside him.
The people accompanying Tang Jian to the grassland were all elites of the Imperial Army, and the guard beside him was a Lieutenant General of the Imperial Army named Yue Minghu. During the Wude years, he had followed Li Er to fight the Turks many times, so he knew a thing or two about the Turk language!
However, compared to Tang Jian, the little bit of Turk knowledge in Yue Minghu's mind was completely lacking. During the Wude years, Tang Jian had interacted with some Turk nobles and generals many times. Not only was he familiar with the Turk language and writing, he also knew the Turk tribal divisions and power relationships like the back of his hand. Therefore, after Li Er ascended the throne, whenever he sent an envoy to the Turks, Tang Jian would be among them!
"So that's how it is!"
After hearing Tang Jian's explanation, Yue Minghu couldn't help but be enlightened. He cupped his fists toward Tang Jian and said in admiration, "Duke Ju is far-sighted and insightful. This Yue admires you!"
This was sincere admiration. Although Tang Jian did not know martial arts and seemed to be an existence of "fighting five dregs", on this grassland, his brain and the knowledge in his stomach were completely comparable to a mighty soldier who had experienced hundreds of battles!
Tang Jian waved his hand, not taking this matter to heart. He said indifferently, "If this old man remembers correctly, we should be able to see Tuli's house after walking a few more li to the north!"
After saying that, he added, "If it's not necessary, try to speak as little as possible to avoid being overheard and exposing our identities!"
Yue Minghu had long been convinced by Tang Jian, so how could he not agree? He hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
The group of people rode their horses and pulled their goods towards the north. The afternoon sun shone on their bodies, causing the sweat on their faces to increase. Although the heat was unbearable, they were more confident that they could return alive!
…
South of Taiyuan City, in the Yi Temple, under the incense burner table.
At this time, there were also two people here who felt the unbearable heat. Not only was it unbearable, but it was also unbearable (hunger) (thirst). This hunger and thirst was real hunger and thirst, especially for the fat middle-aged man. He was about to faint at this moment. He was not only suffering from the heat, but also hunger and thirst!
"Phew ~! He couldn't take it anymore! He couldn't take it anymore! Boss Kang, I need to go out for some fresh air and find something to eat and drink. Otherwise, I'll starve to death! "
Zhu Xie Cheng moved his body and turned his head to speak to Kang Changan.
As he spoke, he used his fat palm to fan his cheeks. Obviously, he was unbearably hot. He was just short of sticking out his tongue like a puppy in summer. Speaking of which, if sticking out one's tongue could cool down one's body, this guy definitely wouldn't mind sticking out his tongue!
"Are you crazy?"
Kang Changan couldn't help but scold him angrily. "The Wang family's people are looking for us all over the city now. Aren't you walking right into their trap if you go out now? If you want to die, don't drag me down with you! "
Although he was also unbearably hot now, compared to being caught by the Wang family, this stuffy heat was still within his tolerable range.
"Then … then what should we do? Are we going to hide here for the rest of our lives? Let alone for the rest of our lives, even if it's just for two days, we'll suffocate and starve to death here! I'll go out and see if there are any Wang family guards outside. They can't be nearby all the time, right? "
Zhu Xie Cheng said impatiently.
