Chapter 809 Succeeded smoothly
Shi Luodie's frown relaxed, and he looked at Li Yan with admiration, praising him: "You are amazing. Just now, when they searched me, even the knife used to kick the mutton was picked out. How did you manage to bring in so many things?"

Li Yan gave a disdainful glance and secretly cursed in his heart, I have my own private space, and a body search is just child's play for me.

"It just so happens that these Tang soldiers are also very easy to deal with. They cooked on the stove left by the Tang army yesterday. I buried the knockout drug here in advance and will dig it out and use it later. What's the point of searching them?"

Well.
Is this okay?

Shi Luodie winked and secretly gave a thumbs up: "Sure enough, you are still reliable, otherwise I would have no way to deal with so many people, right?"

"almost!"

Li Yan looked at the big pot of fern soup next to him and saw that it was almost done. He stood up and said to the old man who was making the soup, "Okay, I'll do it here, and you go help with the grilling."

While no one was around, Li Yan sprinkled the colorless and odorless knockout drug he had exchanged from the system into the soup, picked up the spatula, and stirred it vigorously to ensure that the powder was evenly distributed.

After the meals for the two hundred people were ready, the two men left with the people of the Suni tribe and left the rest of the matters to the Tang army.

Without outsiders, the Tang army, which had worked hard all day, immediately gathered around and began to feast.

That night, the whole camp was quiet.

A man in black appeared in the Tang army camp without any scruples, constantly looking around, his movements swift and bold.

Li Yan went there in advance to make sure that all the soldiers, including those on night duty, were asleep.

Otherwise, when rescuing Jie Li later, he would inevitably kill the sober soldiers. Although Li Yan could be merciless to the Hu people outside the Great Wall, he really couldn't bear to kill these soldiers who were fighting outside to defend the Tang Dynasty.

After a while, Shi Luodie also rushed over and started searching.

When he found Jie Li, who was also unconscious in the corner, Shi Luodie finally couldn't control his emotions. Like a lost child who finally found his relatives, he picked up Jie Li's burly body and started crying.

"Father Khan, Father Khan, you have suffered so much, and I have finally found you."

Shi Luodie looked at the wounds on Jie Li's body and shouted angrily, "How dare they treat my father Khan like this? I will kill them."

After saying that, Shi Luodie pulled out the knife from the unconscious Tang soldier next to him and was about to start killing him.

Li Yan was startled and quickly stepped forward to cover Shi Luodie's mouth, saying, "Keep your voice down, are you crazy? How long will it take to kill these two hundred people? The Tang generals sleeping in Sunihe's tent haven't taken the knockout drug. If we wake them up, can we still leave?"

"Saving Khan is the most important thing. Hurry up and lift Khan onto the horse. We will leave overnight!"

Shi Luodie then reluctantly put down his knife, and together with Li Yan, he untied the ropes that tied Fu Jie Li, drove over a few horses, and lifted Jie Li onto the horses with great effort and put him down.

Jie Li's body was quite heavy. Shi Luodie was originally thin and had been drained by years of eating, drinking and having fun. By the time he settled Jie Li down, he was already exhausted and panting.

Just like that, the three of them left the camp overnight. There was no road, so they fled eastward into the vast Gobi Desert.

The next morning, Jie Li was too shaken by the galloping horse to bear it. When he woke up, he looked up and saw his son. He immediately became excited: "Shi Luodie, is that you?"

"Father Khan, you're awake!" When Shi Luodie heard Jie Li's painful struggle, he quickly pulled the reins and stopped.

Together with Li Yan, they hurriedly put Jie Li on the ground.

Jie Li groaned in pain, leaned on Shi Luodie's shoulder, turned his head and looked around, seeing endless desolation and desolation.

This place is seriously desertified and uninhabited. The vast Gobi Desert is covered with coarse sand and gravel, which makes a rustling sound when you step on it. Dry ditches lie lifelessly on it. Except for some drought-resistant plants such as ephedra and calligonum, few plants grow there, and animals are fleeting.

In the desert ravaged by storms, a whirlwind occasionally blows up a column of yellow sand and slowly rises into the air, and the yellow sand dances along.

Jie Li was not unfamiliar with this kind of environment, and asked speculatively: "Where am I? Why are there no Tang troops?"

"Father Khan, your son has rescued you. This is the Mandal Gobi Desert." Shi Luodie said hurriedly.

Seeing Jie Li's dry lips and a look of pain, Li Yan took off the water shell from his horse, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, and handed it to him: "Khan has suffered, drink some water!"

"Who are you?" Jie Li did not take the kettle, but stared at Li Yan with a vigilant look, with undisguised scrutiny in his eyes.

Although Li Yan's dress was similar to that of a grassland person, his features and eyebrows still bore the distinct characteristics of a Central Plains person. His vocabulary was also different from that of a native Turkic person, and he exuded a unique southern temperament.

With a little attention, you can still see that they are not Hu people. Li Yan did not speak, a kind expression appeared on his face, and he turned to look at Shi Luodie. Naturally, this matter should be explained by the little calf.

Shi Luodie quickly took the kettle and handed it to Jie Li, explaining, "Father Khan, his name is Li Yan, he is from the Central Plains, and he has an irreconcilable feud with Li Shimin. This time he came to the grassland to seek refuge with us, but unfortunately the grassland was in chaos and he was dragged into the battlefield."

"It was he who saved me from the Xueyantuo's pursuit. It was also with his help that I was able to rescue you from the Tang army. He is our friend, not our enemy."

Jie Li's expression softened and he nodded slightly.

Come to think of it, Jie Li knew very well what kind of person his son was. It was a blessing for this kid to escape by himself, and it was impossible for him to have the brains to rescue himself from the Tang army.

I think it must be with this person's help that I was able to escape from this predicament.

Jie Li felt relieved, took the kettle, tilted his head back and started drinking it.

When the pot of water was empty, Jie Li breathed a sigh of relief and raised his sleeve to wipe the water stains from the corners of his mouth.

He stood up and looked around: "Why did you bring me to the Gobi Desert? The soil here is barren and dry, and there is a lack of water. If we don't have enough food and water, it will be difficult for us to get out."

Shi Luodie told what happened last night, and finally said helplessly: "Father Khan, the area north of Tongmo Road is full of Xueyantuo and Bibi rebels, and there are hundreds of thousands of Tang troops in the south. We can only run to the east and west."

"And the Jinshan Mountain in the east is the ancestral home of our Ashina Shi, and it must be the focus of the Tang army's search. Li Yan said that the only way to survive is to go east."

Li Yan then said, "Yes, Khan, the three of us are not as strong as the Tang army. Jinshan is your ancestral land. Whether it is Li Shimin or Yi Nan Bi Heli, the next focus is to capture the Jinshan area."

"Going back is a dead end. Our only way to survive is to cross the Gobi Desert. The journey is difficult, but it is safe. Even if there are pursuers, it will be difficult for them to find us."

"When we reach the eastern grasslands, that is the Khan's territory. The Khan will reorganize his troops and it won't take long for him to make a comeback and rebuild the world."

Jie Lihu's eyes narrowed, and he thought carefully: "Yes, you have considered it very carefully."

After finishing speaking, Jie Li showed a generous smile, stepped forward and patted Li Yan on the shoulder, and said generously: "You Han people have an old saying, 'Strong grass is known in the strong wind, loyal ministers are known in the turbulent times.'"

"Although I don't know who you are, you saved my father and me, so you are our benefactor. From now on, you and Shi Luodie are my closest and most trusted people."

"Don't worry. Although Li Shimin colluded with Tuli and Yinan Biheli and caught me off guard, I am still the supreme Khan on the grassland. I still have a vast territory in the east. The Bayegu, Pugu, Duolangge, and Tongluo tribes are still my most loyal subordinates."

"It won't be long before this Khan will still have hundreds of thousands of troops under his command."

As expected, he is the overlord of the grassland, with a mighty aura that cannot be compared to that waste Shi Luodie. Li Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. If Jie Li also collapsed like a woman like Shi Luodie, then his trip would be in vain.

After a few words, the spirits of Li Yan and Shi Luodie were encouraged. Li Yan bowed and said, "Khan, to be honest, my identity is very special. If it is leaked, it will immediately lead to a catastrophe. That's why I even kept it a secret from the prince."

"However, the Khan is not an outsider. To the Khan, it is nothing. I still want the Khan to uphold justice for me."

"Okay, get up and talk!"

Jie Li now has only two men under him. At this time when he was deserted by everyone, he treated Li Yan, who saved his father and son's lives, very kindly and helped Li Yan up.

As a superior, he knew very well that he was not afraid of being used by others, but was afraid of having no value to be used. The more Li Yan asked of him, the more respectful he would be to him.

Jie Li smiled and said, "If you have any grievances, just tell me and I will definitely take care of it for you."

Jie Li had been in power for a long time. Not to mention the Yi people, even some rebel kings in the south, down-and-out nobles, and frustrated ministers had fled to the grassland from time to time. He was very familiar with such situations and said some comforting words without thinking.

Li Yan thanked him and stood up: "Khan, I am actually Li Shimin's nephew, my name is Li Yan."

After breaking away from the Yinan, Li Yan used his real name. Anyway, if he wanted to survive on the grassland, he definitely could not use the name Li Chengqian. The name Li Yan had never been used in the Tang Dynasty, so it was just right to use it on the grassland.

"what?"

The expressions of Jie Li and his son tensed up, and they shuddered subconsciously and took a step back.

At this moment of fleeing for his life, he suddenly heard Li Shimin's name, and the person in front of him had such a close relationship with him. He was immediately frightened and looked around subconsciously.
