Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

The sugar garlic marinated with icing sugar, white vinegar, and white wine doesn't have much spicy taste, but it tastes good, but it's a bit hot.

He didn't know if eating sweet garlic was taboo in Yusuf's teachings.

However, since Yusuf had already planned to create a new sect, he was considerate and served Yusuf with a plate of sugared garlic.

I can finally eat it!

Vermicelli must be eaten first.

The longer the soak time, the worse the taste.

The pot helmet can wait.

The pot helmet is the most delicious after drinking enough soup.

Obviously, even if you eat dragon liver and phoenix gall, Yousuf probably won't have much appetite.

In addition to not using chopsticks very quickly, Yusuf ate very quickly.

Liu Bai ate very slowly.

Gourmet meals often require only the simplest of ingredients.

Lamb steamed bun is one of the leaders.

Only by chewing slowly can you enjoy the taste.

Finally finished eating!

Liu Bai wiped his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, what do you think of this bowl of steamed mutton?"

Yousuf glanced at Liu Bai suspiciously, then looked down again, only a small bowl of soup base was left, and said, "Central Plains cuisine is indeed well-deserved, but what exactly does Mr. Liu mean?"

Liu Bai shook his head and said, "It's nothing interesting, I just want to treat you to a good meal."

Yusuf frowned, but he soon calmed down.

He patiently said: "Mr. Liu, I don't have much time to enjoy delicious food with you. You also know that if our army arrives, the war between the two sides will be inevitable. At least for now, I don't want to directly fight with your country Armies at war."

Liu Bai asked people to take down the bowls and chopsticks, and replaced them with hot tea and snacks.

He lightly skimmed off the froth in the bowl, and said: "There is a saying in the Central Plains called 'plan before you move', and with the governor's impatient character, it may be even more difficult to create a new sect. "

In fact, Liu Bai did not have much confidence in Yusuf's ability to create a new sect.

It is more difficult to reshape an ideal kingdom in people's hearts than to create a kingdom in the real world.

Apparently, Yusuf lacked a virtue called 'patience'.

This is something Liu Bai cannot tolerate.

Since you plan to start a sect, you must succeed!

Whether it is for the Tang Dynasty or the Liu family, it is meaningless to defeat Yusuf's army, or even capture the holy city of Medina.

the distance is too far

If Datang has efficient means of transportation, and can walk from Chang'an City to Medina in two or three days, Liu Bai doesn't mind directly crashing Dashi's economy, and then clean them up properly.

But the reality is that starting from Chang'an City and reaching Medina, it takes at least two months!

It doesn't make any sense to go all the way through the Mediterranean Sea.

When the army is gone, what should they do and what else will they do.

The basis of rule is the people, and there, there are no people in the Tang Dynasty at all, and they are all big cannibals.

In Liu Bai's vision, cooperation is in line with Datang's development path.

It will take at least three to five hundred years for Datang to develop a population that is enough to rule thousands of miles away and a population not smaller than the territory of the Central Plains.

Liu Bai didn't think that he could live to that time.

Rather than tossing about the benefits, it is better to cooperate with them to seek immediate benefits.

Since Dashi is now the caliphate, he does not want to cooperate with Datang.

Then, of course, someone needs to be replaced.

Yusuf, as the first big cannibal to deal with Datang, is the best candidate.

For long-term development, what is most needed is patience.

Therefore, Liu Bai planned to train him well.

Otherwise, sorry for such a long time of hard work.

Different growth environments determine a person's character.

Yusuf is impatient, but not stupid.

After a few words, he understood what Liu Bai meant.

Instead of feeling angry, he became more and more happy.

At least it shows that Liu Bai is sincerely cooperating with him!

"I always heard from Mr. Su that the tea in the Central Plains is so delicious. I have obtained tea from some merchants, but compared with Mr. Liu's tea, it is really inferior."

Yousuf imitated Liu Bai, pinching the rim of the cup with the thumb and middle finger of his right hand, holding the bottom of the cup with his ring finger, sucking in mouthfuls.

"There has recently been a wave of tea tasting in the Central Plains. They always feel that they can drink some kind of artistic conception from it, and drink out of the university. In fact, drinking tea is just to satisfy the basic desire of tongue. Where does it come from so much?"

Liu Bai introduced to Yousuf the basic tea-making techniques of the Tang Dynasty.

Most of these crafts were developed by Chai Lingwu.

After a short time of getting along, talk.

He smiled and said: "I don't understand how you people from the Central Plains are particular, but drinking tea is very refreshing. It must have a certain effect on big cannibals."

Datang's diet structure is much simpler than that of Datang.

After a cup of tea, you will feel relieved and comfortable.

Yousuf suddenly felt that he could not do without tea in his life.

Liu Bai put down his teacup, and said: "This is what Liu wanted to say, Dashi needs our tea, silk, and grain, and we also need Dashi's dates, cattle and sheep, and precious stones. Datang's strong economic strength can make the Governor General's new sect grow rapidly."

Chapter 957

A hundred miles east of Mud City!

Datang Barracks!

It is said that the conditions in the Western Regions are difficult, but the Tang army, from the emperor to the ordinary pawns, did not feel it.

The only people who have had a hard time are only two people.

One is Li Chengqian, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The other one is the newly-baked consort of Princess Baling, Chai Lingwu, Marquis of Pingyang.

Li Chengqian's crime was disobedience to orders and arbitrarily fighting guerrillas in the hinterland of the Western Regions for more than three months.

Not much to lose, but embarrassing

The dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty has been a sand robber in the Western Regions for three months?

If it gets out, let alone the emperor, ordinary people can't hold their heads up.

Fortunately, there are not many people who know that the prince is a sand thief.

Otherwise, Li Er might break Li Chengqian's legs in a fit of anger.

As for Chai Lingwu, there are two bad things on his mind.

Not only did he leave his new wife, Princess Baling, and sneak out of Chang'an City.

He also sneaked into the mud city from Li Er's camp.

It has been more than ten days since Cheng Yaojin took him back to camp.

The life of the two of them is worse than that of a dog.

The pack horses in the supply camp had better food than the two of them.

Every day before the sun came out, I had to follow the peasants to move supplies together.

After dark, they still yawned and copied the homework that Li Er left them.

After finishing the day's work, according to the living habits of the two of them, they should take a hot bath and have a good night's sleep.

But I haven't finished my homework.

What Li Chengqian copied was "The Legend of Gongyang", one of the three biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period.

It records a lot of bad things that happened in the Spring and Autumn Period.

This dude spent his life drinking and drinking, leading to the collapse of the country and the death of the people.

That Hou, who ran amok, was cooked alive in the end.

There are a total of more than 4 characters, which must be copied in Li Er's favorite "feibai" font, at least [-] times, so that His Royal Highness can remember them long.

What Chai Lingwu copied was "Zhou Li".

Also copy it [-] times to let Chai Lingwu know that as a human being, one should do some human affairs

The two of them are in a good mood tonight.

Because, twenty times will soon be finished copying.

Looking to the side, there was a thick stack of papers, and the two felt infinite emotion in their hearts.

Just when he was about to finish copying, Cheng Yaojin suddenly opened the curtain and walked in.

Without saying a word, he walked away holding the two of them by the neck.

The unlucky brothers had to be carried by Cheng Yaojin all the way to the Chinese army camp where Li Er was.

After entering, only to find that the veterans accompanying the army are all there!

In addition, Tang Jian, Cen Wenwen, Liu Zhenghui and others who served as civil servants for this expedition also came.

Li Er, who was sitting in the middle, saw Li Chengqian and Li Chengqian thrown in the corner by Cheng Yaojin, sneered, and said, "Since you're here, let's start."

Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged fat man walked in.

The middle-aged fat man first bowed to Li Eryi, and immediately bowed to everyone, saying: "See Your Majesty, I have seen you, my lords and old men!"

Li Chengqian and Chai Lingwu looked at each other.

Isn't this the old shopkeeper of the Liu family, Youzhou, Lao Zhou?

What is he doing in the military camp?

Could it be that there have been new changes in Mud City?

The two became worried.

It is known that Yusuf has already entered the city.

His 2 people had already besieged the mud city.

Although the connection between Muni City and the army has not been severed, the difficulty of delivering news has increased by more than two times.

What they were most worried about was Liu Bai's safety.

Li Er nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Zhou, can you solve my doubts now?"

These people, from the beginning to the end, did not know what Liu Bai's plans were.

If it wasn't for Liu Bai's insistence to continue to endure, Li Er would have dispatched troops to hack Yousuf to death first.

What's more, the distance between the 15 troops of the Dashi army and the army of the Tang Dynasty is almost the same.

The distance is only two hundred miles. In the past, the two sides have had at least several small-scale wars.

As it is now, it is rare to see a situation where they live in peace even though they are so close at hand.

This is due to the trust of Liu Bai in the imperial court.

They knew very well that the Liu family paid a huge price for this short period of peace!

Lao Zhou said with a smile: "Your Majesty Qizuo, my young master sent this old man here just to clear up your doubts."
