Chapter 187: Valuable Slaves
After Cheng Yaojin left, a huge rock seemed to fall in Xi Yunfei's heart. The feeling of thrilling was so good.
It’s like the humiliation I suffered in the past two days was instantly wiped out. Sure enough, people still have to have their own strength to be the king, and friendship is nothing more than empty talk.
As for Cheng Yaojin.
Perhaps it was Xi Yunfei's toughness that angered him, or the old guy just left in anger. In short, Cheng Yaojin didn't even have time to taste the roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes, so he asked his entourage to move away a few bamboo baskets. At the same time, he also took away the cultivation manual used by Xi Yunfei to purchase the inner city.
In Xi Yunfei's view, this was Cheng Yaojin's disguised default. No matter what, Xi Yunfei thought that Li Shimin had made money by using potatoes and sweet potatoes with amazing output.
In the yard, Xi Yunfei, who was eating roasted sweet potatoes and drinking ginseng tea, had a smile on his face. He didn't notice until his cousin Li Qing'er came in, which shows how good he was.
Li Qing'er is now wearing silk and satin, and pink and out-of-domain rouge. Her temperament seems to have undergone a gorgeous change. Although she is not as beautiful as a flower, she has a sense of purity and flawlessness of a rural girl, which makes all the servants take good care of her.
Behind Li Qing'er was a little maid of eleven or twelve years old. This was the one Li Zhengbao personally found for Li Qing'er, mainly responsible for taking care of Li Qing'er's daily life. However, the little maid obviously came to enjoy the happiness. Perhaps Li Qing'er had no habit of being taken care of at all. After two days, she was directly communicating with the maid and sister.
"Erlang, what are you eating? It smells so good." Li Qing'er walked to Xi Yunfei carelessly. Now there are only Xi Yunfei and Wang Dachui in the yard, so she doesn't seem restrained.
At this time, the little maid was staring at the sweet potatoes in Xi Yunfei's hand in a daze. The orange sweet potato meat was delicious no matter how you look. She unconsciously vents saliva from the corner of her mouth. Her little hand secretly wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth.
Li Qing'er saw it and reached out to pinch the little maid's face intimately, and smiled and said, "Why is your nose so smart? You can smell something here from afar!"
The little maid smiled awkwardly and said aggrievedly: "I have been afraid of hunger since I was a child and I have been particularly sensitive to fragrant food. Sister Qing'er is also curious, but you just said it smells good and I want to come and take a look."
Li Qing'er covered her mouth and smiled. The yard she lived in was behind Xi Yunfei's main hall. It was not far away. The roasted sweet potatoes were so fragrant that it was hard to smell them. Li Qing'er looked up at Xi Yunfei. Xi Yunfei realized that he had picked out two sweet potatoes from the stove and put them in the pottery basin.
"Cousin, Ning'er, you can try it too. This thing is called sweet potato, which is a delicacy from the foreign land. But don't eat too much. It will be time for lunch in a while. This thing is just a snack, not a regular meal."
Xi Yunfei likes this little girl named Ning'er very much. Li Zhengbao said that this child is the orphan of a comrade-in-arms. Both his parents have died since childhood. His life experience is very pitiful. Thanks to Li Zhengbao's kindness intake, otherwise he wouldn't know what fate it is now.
Ning'er was a little shy. After all, she was only two or three years younger than Xi Yunfei, almost the same age. She took the pottery basin and smelled the fragrant sweet potatoes. Her little face was red and cute. It was not the first time she saw Xi Yunfei with such a friendly attitude, so she didn't act shy. After all, this sweet potato smelled really good.
Li Qing'er also took the pottery basin, looked at the slightly burnt sweet potato, and said, "This sweet potato is so magical. You can smell its fragrance from afar, and it is even more mouth-watering when you smell it nearby."
Xi Yunfei nodded with a smile. Isn’t this the same thing in his previous life? He suddenly smelled the roasted sweet potatoes when walking on the street. He couldn’t help but run over to buy a piece. That kind of taste, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk t
When Xi Yunfei was eating roasted sweet potatoes, his elder brother Xi Junmai and Xue Wanche had been busy all night but still hadn't closed their eyes.
Two thousand Turkic cavalrymen, one of them was funny, and Xi Yunfei lost a few things like pineapples and got 90% of them. The rest of Xue Wanche didn't take much effort to kill them.
In the market where the former Turkic people belonged, Xi Junmai sat cross-legged. In front of him, Xue Wanche and a Turkic merchant were interrogating one of the prisoners. The prisoner was dressed in extraordinary clothes and unique, and it was the leader of the team.
Xue Wanche turned around and sat down next to Xi Junmai, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "It's almost the same as what we guessed. The purpose of these two thousand cavalrymen heading south is to rob. Fortunately, we caught him right away."
Xi Junmai looked up at Ashinamil with a depressed expression, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he responded: "If Erlang hadn't said that it would be useful to leave them behind, I really wanted to cut them into pieces to comfort my uncle Zheng of the sky."
Xue Wanche nodded without comment. He knew that the village in Xiagou Village was also captured by the Turks, and was beaten to death and left to mass graves.
In fact, it was not just Xiagou Village. Three months ago, the Turkic Jieli Khan went south, and countless villagers were killed and injured in Guanzhong area of the Tang Dynasty.
It’s not that Xi Junmai has such a murderous intention. It’s really a huge hatred between the two countries. It is said that the people are suffering from provoking and destroying the people is suffering from. The twists and turns in it are really hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. Only the time is fate.
"By the way, Erlang really plans to let them go to mining?" Xue Wanche took a kettle and took a sip of water, and looked at Xi Junmai in confusion.
Xi Junmai frowned slightly, nodded, and responded: "Yes, Erlang said he wanted to let them taste the feeling of being enslaved and let us whip them at will, but he couldn't kill them. Erlang said they still have great uses."
Xue Wanche nodded slightly, and he also felt that he could not easily kill these Turkic spirit cavalry, especially... Xue Wanche looked at Ashinamil, who was kneeling on the ground. This man called himself a little Turkic prince, claiming to exchange 100,000 cattle and sheep or 20,000 war horses for his life. However, Xue Wanche could not make this decision, and Xi Yunfei had to measure the choice of this matter.
"Slave worth 100,000 cattle and sheep, haha, this is the first time in my life that I have seen such a valuable slave."
Xue Wanche stood up and stretched his waist, and said to Xi Junmai: "I'll go back and rest first. You should go to bed early. Now that Master Liang hasn't retreated yet, we can't relax our vigilance."
Xi Junmai leaned back tiredly, supported his hands on the grass and said, "You go to bed first, I will guard the secret passage, and you will change me later."
Xue Wanche glanced at the room behind him and nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look first."
After Xue Wanche left, Xi Jun bought it and patted the grass clippings on his body, and said to the servant next to him: "Except that person."
Xue Wanche stretched out and pointed at Ashinamil and said, "Others except him, each of them has a steamed bun and a bowl of water."
The servant was stunned when he heard this and looked at Ashinamil. The poor little Turkic prince couldn't understand what they were saying. At this time, he just looked at Xi Junmai in horror and pointed at him.
"What about him?" the servant asked curiously.
