The encampment that Du Qi and the others were staying in was very spacious, enough to accommodate over a hundred people. The accompanying soldiers were now in formation outside the tent to protect the safety of Du Qi's group.
Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde sat in their tent, leisurely drinking wine and chatting. They appeared to be very relaxed, not at all worried about their safety or situation just because they were in the Turks' territory.
For Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde, now that they had entered Turkic territory, they could only let nature take its course.
No matter how much they thought about it, it was useless.
They might as well eat and drink as they liked, relaxing their minds and feeling relaxed.
Zhangsun Shunde sipped a mouthful of wine and said, "Erlang, it has been more than two hours since we arrived at this tent. Logically speaking, Xieli's discussion should have reached a conclusion. But until now, no one has been sent to inform us. It seems that he won't receive us in the short term. "
Du Qi said, "I reckon that Xieli is doing this to give us the cold shoulder, to suppress our morale. Actually, this is normal. As the saying goes, the first drum builds the morale, the second weakens and the third is exhausted. If Xieli wants to suppress us, he will definitely give us the cold shoulder for the time being. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "In any case, if we have an indifferent attitude and deal with it indifferently, there won't be any mistakes. And as long as the Turkic side doesn't start a war with the Tang dynasty, we don't have to worry at all. "
Zhangsun Shunde said, "Erlang is right!"
Du Qi said, "Yang Lizhi is not a simple woman, and she is not someone who gives up easily. In my opinion, although Yang Lizhi hasn't made any moves, she might still cause trouble. So we have to be more careful, and we can't let our guard down when it comes to food and wine. "
Liu Jian was serving below. He took over and promised, "Don't worry, young master, I will arrange everything. All the food will be tasted by the animals, and I guarantee that it is not poisonous. "
Du Qi nodded.
With Liu Jian around, food was not a problem.
Zhangsun Shunde said, "But now, we are bored and have nothing to do. Right now, we don't know when we will be able to receive Xieli's summons. "
Du Qi suddenly said, "I have a way to kill time."
Zhangsun Shunde asked, "What is it?"
Du Qi immediately looked at Liu Jian and said, "Liu Jian, go and find some hard paper, something thicker."
"Yes!"
Liu Jian agreed with a smile and said, "It just so happens that there are many book covers in my carriage. The quality of these book covers and the quality of the paper was very hard, which was in line with the young master's requirements. The covers of all the books were collected from the old books. I was going to use them to start a fire, but I didn't expect that they would come in handy. "
Immediately, he turned around and left.
Zhangsun Shunde asked curiously, "Erlang, what exactly are you up to?"
Du Qi said, "Great General Zhangsun will know in a moment."
Not long after, Liu Jian came in with a stack of book covers. These book covers were made of hard paper, and the quality of the paper was also good. Du Qi reached out and touched them. Although the quality of the paper did not meet his requirements, there was no way to find better paper in the Turkic territory, so he could only make do with what he had.
Du Qi had Liu Jian take a pair of scissors and a brush, and then began to cut them one by one.
He was making cards.
The simple card making was not complicated. It only needed a brush, scissors, and hard paper to make. Du Qi quickly made the cards, and soon a deck of cards was completed.
Du Qi smiled and had Zhangsun Shunde and Liu Jian sit down. He spread out the deck of cards and explained the situation of the cards one by one. He also explained the rules of playing cards. Finally, he looked at the two and asked, "I have explained the rules once. Now, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Zhangsun Shunde nodded and answered.
Liu Jian looked puzzled and said, "Young master, I don't really understand. There are still some things I don't understand."
Du Qi said, "It's fine. It doesn't matter if there are some problems. Play cards and learn, and you will soon grasp the rules of Dou Dizhu. After you play a few more rounds, everything will be familiar. "
As he spoke, Du Qi began to deal the cards.
This was a three-person game of Dou Dizhu.
Du Qi was quite excited. He picked up the cards and played Dou Dizhu with Zhangsun Shunde and Liu Jian. After a few rounds, Du Qi won all of them. Fortunately, after a few rounds, Zhangsun Shunde and Liu Jian were already familiar with the rules. After all, Dou Dizhu was not particularly complicated.
Zhangsun Shunde held the cards and played while saying, "This card game of Dou Dizhu is really interesting. Erlang, you brat, not only do you know how to cook, but you also know about tea leaves, restaurants, and even the books you wrote. Tell me, is there anything you don't know, or do you know anything else? "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Great General, you are too kind. I only know how to play cards."
The three of them chatted and laughed. For the whole day, the three of them had been playing Dou Dizhu in the tent. Their days were quite relaxing. In the evening, Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde had just finished dinner and called Liu Jian to play Dou Dizhu again.
For them, they had nothing to do but play Dou Dizhu. Otherwise, they would have nothing to do.
"Du Qi, come out!"
At this moment, hysterical shouts suddenly rang out from outside the tent. Following this shout, there was another order in a low voice, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
Shouts rose and fell one after another, suddenly sounding out.
Immediately after, shouts of killing and the sound of swords clashing could be heard outside the camp.
"Kill! Kill Du Qi!"
The hysterical voice sounded again.
When Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde heard it, they put down the cards in their hands and went to the tent together. Standing at the entrance of the tent, Du Qi looked out and saw many torches crackling and burning. Under the red light of the fire, the outside of the tent was as bright as day.
Outside the tent, a group of soldiers came to kill. Not far away, there was Gulu.
Gulu's thigh was broken by Mordor's rod. Although his thigh was bandaged and the wound had formed a scab, he had not recovered fully. Moreover, his buttocks were injured at night. Now, he could only lie on his stomach and could not stand for the time being.
He was being carried by people.
He was lying on the carriage.
Gulu stared fixedly at the tent. His mouth was still screaming hysterically. He loudly ordered the soldiers to charge and kill. Especially Gulu's mouth, which was full of the smell of alcohol, he was drunk.
During the day, Gulu's buttocks were beaten thirty times. Although Xieli Khan ordered the soldiers to punish him severely, Gulu's identity was not simple. He was a Turkic noble, so the soldiers did not dare to kill him.
Therefore, although Gulu's buttocks seemed to be bleeding, in fact, only the skin of his buttocks was hurt. The bones and tendons of his buttocks were not hurt. Otherwise, Gulu's pelvis and bones would have been cracked by the thirty strikes. It would not be as easy as it was now.
However, when he was sent back, he drank some wine and got drunk. In addition, he was dismissed from his post, so many of his subordinates did not care about him anymore.
Originally, Yang Li had arranged people to sow discord. Therefore, the people around Gulu even talked and mocked him in private. However, Gulu heard it, so that Gulu was even angrier.
After drinking, Gulu could not suppress the anger in his heart, and he was instigated by his trusted subordinates. He thought that he had nothing, so he mobilized the few people around him and killed them directly.
This time, Gulu brought a total of five hundred people.
They were his trusted subordinates.
They were his last forces.
Gulu sprawled on the carriage, his eyes red. He ordered again, "Kill, kill for me!"
He kept shouting orders.
The trusted soldiers under his command quickly moved forward to kill.
Du Qi saw the people around him killing, and there was a smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Mordor, who had not yet made a move, and said, "Mordor, I'll leave Gulu to you. Charge over and kill Gulu directly! "
There was coldness in his eyes.
Du Qi was not a good person.
When things came to a head, he killed when he should.
He was not afraid of killing!
Even if this was the territory of the Turkic people, Du Qi was not afraid of being targeted. He brazenly ordered a counterattack.
