In the tent, Yin Shisan looked at the Jie Li Khan who was tied up like a dumpling with a white cloth and thought to himself, Cheng Yaojin and the others were too ruthless. They really didn't give this Turkic lord any face.
However, he did not consider that this was the result of his indulgence.
"Khagan, are you alright?" Yin Shisan looked at Jie Li and tried his best to find the two holes on his face that were flickering with anger." Erm, your nose is blocked, can you breathe smoothly?"”
"Humph!"
Jie Li snorted coldly, but because his nostrils were blocked by the white cloth, his voice sounded a little muffled. It didn't sound like he was angry, but more like he was acting coquettishly.
Yin Shisan laughed and said to Jie Li,"I'm here to discuss a deal with the Khan."”
"What do you want?"
Jie Li's words were also very vague. He impatiently tore off the white cloth wrapped around his head, freeing his nose and mouth.
"It's easy to talk to smart people!" Yin Shisan laughed.”
Yin Shisan told Jie Li frankly that he wanted 2,000 Turkic horses first." When the King of Qin recovers Taiyuan and attacks Bingzhou, the Turks need to send 100,000 troops to the north of Bingzhou to support and disperse Liu Wuzhou's forces. How about that?”
"I can promise you that."
A wise man would adapt to circumstances. At the level of Jie Li Khan, he knew how important it was to keep his life.
"But…"
But then, Khan Jie Li changed the topic and said to Yin Shisan,"With the nature of the Turks, they will not be extorted by the Great Tang. They will strip my throne and give it to someone else to rule the Turks."”
Yin Shisan looked pleased when he heard this. He said to Jie Li," To be honest, the King of Qin and I were very worried about this matter. But now that you've taken the initiative to bring it up, I'm not worried anymore."”
"Oh?"
Facing Jie Li's doubtful gaze, Yin Shisan said,"You must have a way to solve this problem."”
Jie Li's eyes instantly narrowed. His gaze was like that of a poisonous snake as he stared at Yin Shisan, revealing a ferocious look.
"I know you want to kill me. Do you think I'm a big problem for you?”"But you have to return to the Turks first, and before that, you have to keep your position as Khan, right?" Yin Shisan smiled.”
Hearing Yin Shisan's words, the fierce light in Jie Li's eyes gradually disappeared. He took out a metal ring from his bosom, held it in his hand, and respectfully handed it to Yin Shisan.
Such an action did not show how much Jie Li respected Yin Shisan, but it showed that this ring was very important.
Yin Shisan didn't dare to be negligent and imitated Jie Li to bring the ring over. Jie Li saw this and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He said in a low voice,"Thank you."”
"Yes!"
Yin Shisan replied casually and began to examine the ring in his hand. It was a pure metal ring. He did not know what material it was made of, but it was heavy in his hand and had a silver metallic luster.
The ring was made up of two parts. The ring was in the shape of a snake, and the surface of the ring was carved into a goshawk. If one looked closely, one could see that the goshawk's claws were holding the snake.
"This ring was left behind by my father. There are a total of three rings.”
Jie Li said that the rings of his two brothers had been buried with them, and now there was only one left. It was the national treasure of the Turks and could mobilize all armies.
"Most importantly, with it, you can mobilize my personal guards of 10,000 people!”
At this point, Jie Li Khan looked at Yin Shisan with a serious expression.
"Originally, I wasn't at ease handing it over to you, but after seeing your respect for it, I'm willing to trust you.”
" Thank you, Khan!" Yin Shisan stood up and cupped his hands at Khan Jie Li." Thank you for your trust!"”
"Yes!" Jie Li nodded and said to Yin Shisan," My ten thousand personal guards are as sick as a hundred thousand. Moreover, they are all experts who specialize in assassination. If there really is someone within the Turks who wants to replace me, I believe you know what to do.”
……
Yin Shisan's expression turned grave when he came out of the tent.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhongjian walked over from afar and asked,"What's wrong?"”
"Shh!"
Yin Shisan looked back at Jie Li's tent and signaled Zhang Zhongjian not to speak. Then, he brought him into his own tent and said to him," Jie Li told me that he has ten thousand personal guards. All of them are experts who specialize in assassination.”
Zhang Zhongjian immediately understood Yin Shisan's worries. If these ten thousand people entered the Central Plains, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, and even Li Yuan would lose their lives.
However…
"You believe him?" Zhang Zhongjian looked at Yin Shisan coldly." What if he's just spouting nonsense?”
Yin Shisan shook his head. He felt that Jie Li didn't need to lie to him about this matter. After all, Jie Li had even given him the ring that was known as the national treasure of the Turks. Once he used it, he would immediately know whether those ten thousand people were real or fake.
"Zhongjian, we're going to the north of the desert.”"First, I want to negotiate with the Turks as an emissary of the Great Tang. Second, I want to find out the truth about the Turks!" Yin Shisan said with a solemn expression.”
Yin Shisan had told Zhang Zhongjian that the Great Tang and the Turks would fight sooner or later, and that they had to understand the enemy's situation in advance so that they wouldn't be left in the dark.
"When are we leaving?" Zhang Zhongjian had never been one to drag things out.
"In an hour!"
After reporting to Li Shimin, Yin Shisan only brought a set of clothes and went to the north of the desert with Zhang Zhongjian.
Fortunately, Jiexiu wasn't far from Gobi, and Yin Shisan and Zhang Zhongjian's horses were all fine horses. Thus, in just one day, they had already entered Turkic territory.
"Blackwater City!"
Yin Shisan raised his head to look at the three large words on the city gate tower. They were actually written in Chinese characters, and the majority of the people entering and exiting the city gates were Han Chinese. Among them, less than thirty percent were Turks.
"This is a trade route between the Turks and the Central Plains, so it's not considered the Turkic hinterland.”Zhang Zhongjian explained to Yin Thirteen.
Yin Shisan glanced at Zhang Zhongjian." You know him very well?”
"Our Zhang Clan has business dealings with the Turks, and this is where we do business.”
As he spoke, Zhang Zhongjian no longer paid attention to Yin Shisan and led his horse into the city. Yin Shisan hurriedly followed behind Zhang Zhongjian. Zhang Zhongjian walked around and soon entered the backyard of a spice shop.
Yin Shisan also came to the door of the backyard and heard an excited voice from inside." Eldest Young Master, why are you here personally?”
Yin Shisan was stunned. He hadn't expected Zhang Zhongjian to become a landlord in the Turks.
