Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Cheng Yaojin knew that among his sworn brothers, Wei Zheng was the most upright, Qin Qiong was the most loyal, and Li Ji had the most evil ideas.

Seeing Li Ji pulling himself, Cheng Yaojin understood that he already had a solution.

At that moment, Cheng Yaojin let Wei Zheng go.

After eating, Cheng Yaojin grabbed Li Ji and left Wei Mansion immediately.

As soon as he went out, Cheng Yaojin asked: "Mao Gong, tell me quickly, how can you get refined salt?"

"The taste of this refined salt is really amazing. I think if there is no refined salt, I probably won't be able to eat in the future!"

Li Ji smiled slightly and said: "Look at how careful the elder brother is, if you go to grab his salt, how much can you grab?"

"Old Cheng, didn't you hear what my elder brother said just now, these salts are made by the king of Chu."

"You want refined salt, let's go to King Chu."

"The few of us are now the princes of the state. If you go to him to buy salt, there is no way he will not sell it to us!"

Cheng Yaojin slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, Mao Gong still has a lot of ideas. Let's go to the King of Chu now!"

"That kid dares not give me salt, even if he robs me, he will take some back!"

In order to eat delicious refined salt, Cheng Yaojin also went all out.

"Mao Gong, you must go, Brother Qin, are you going?"

Cheng Yaojin turned his head and looked at Qin Qiong expectantly.

Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Although Qin Qiong was also amazed by the fine salt just now, but this time he followed, more thoughts were to look at Dian Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji, so as not to let them have any misunderstanding with the King of Chu.

Cheng Yaojin was even more excited when he saw that his second brother was going too.

As the saying goes, brothers work together to break gold, and Cheng Yaojin thinks that this time they will be able to get refined salt.

Cheng Yaojin led the two of them excitedly towards Chu Palace.

Just now, the three of them came out from Wei Zheng's mansion for dinner, and now the lights are on. Although the curfew in Chang'an City has been lifted, the economy has not yet started at night, and the road still looks a bit sluggish.

Arriving outside Chu Wang's mansion, the gate of the palace has been closed tightly.

Soon, there was a banging sound on the door, which shocked Li You in the mansion.

Li You wasn't asleep yet, but he was watching Su Dingfang and Zhou Huai'an compete.

It turned out that after Li Shimin and others left, Pei Ju also left.

Back at the mansion, Pei Ju immediately recruited Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian.

Pei Ju told Pei Xingjian that he would not enter the Turkic Grassland this time, and that the caravan would be led by Wang Xuance, and Pei Xingjian would travel with Wang Xuance.

Hearing this, Pei Xingjian's face was filled with excitement.

He felt that the time had finally come for him to show his talents.

Compared with Pei Xingjian's excitement, Su Dingfang's expression on the side was somewhat lonely.

He is only 27 this year. Although he lives in seclusion here now, I wonder if he is really willing.

Seeing Su Dingfang's expression, Pei Ju felt grateful to Li You.

It is precisely because of Li You that Su Dingfang will have the chance to regain his glory again.

Pei Ju said in a deep voice: "Ding Fang, this time I went to the Turkic Grassland as promised, do you have any ideas?"

Su Dingfang was taken aback when Mr. Pei suddenly asked this question.

Then he asked tentatively: "Master Pei, do you want me to accompany Shouyue into Turkic?"

When this question was asked, Su Dingfang also had a trace of hesitation and a trace of inexplicable desire in his heart.

However, Pei Ju shook his head.

Pei Ju's shaking of the head made Su Dingfang feel inexplicably disappointed.

He lowered his head and said blankly: "After keeping the promise and leaving, I want to go back to Jizhou and go back to my hometown to have a look."

Su Dingfang was a native of Wuyi, Jizhou. In the last years of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, bandits and bandits were rampant in Jizhou.

Su Ding conveniently followed his father Su Yong to lead thousands of village soldiers to fight against bandits for the prefectures and counties.

After his father died, he took over from his father to lead the tribe and continued to fight and protect the village.

During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Su Dingfang defected to the tent of Dou Jiande, the leader of the Hebei Rebel Army, and never returned to Jizhou since then.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is unified and the civil war is over, Su Dingfang decided to go back and have a look, maybe he will live his life in his hometown from now on.

Su Dingfang had a plan in mind, raised his head to look at Pei Ju, and prepared to bid farewell to the old man.

But he didn't expect Pei Ju to be looking at him with a smile on his face.

Su Dingfang didn't understand what Pei Ju was laughing at, so he heard Pei Ju say: "Dingfang, the old man has seen courage and courage in you, you shouldn't waste your life like this."

Before Pei Ju finished speaking, Su Dingfang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty Pei, you don't have to persuade me. Now Li and Tang are settled. Even if I enter the imperial court, there is no room for me to play in the world."

"Rather than embarrassingly facing those former opponents in the court, it is better to be a farmer happily."

"Mr. Pei, anyway, you don't go to the caravan now, why don't you follow me to Jizhou?"

Pei Ju put away his smile and sighed: "Hey, it's too small, the layout is too small!"

"Do you only see the gains and losses of the Central Plains? The world is so big, do you only care about the Central Plains?"

"Have you forgotten the banks of the Weishui River last year, have you forgotten China's greatest enemy!"

Hearing this, Su Dingfang also put away the trace of relaxation just now: "Dingfang will never forget the shame of China."

"But sir, didn't you let me go to Turkic with Shouyue?"

Su Dingfang looked at Pei Ju suspiciously, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Why did you enter the Turkic Grassland? You can kill Xieli's [-] Turkic cavalry by yourself?"

Pei Ju asked back easily.

After discovering that Su Dingfang's emotions had been mobilized, Pei Ju felt that the time was ripe.

"Dingfang, now there are Turks, Tubo, and countries in the Western Regions in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and there are Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje in the northeast. These alien races are all eyeing China."

"Now Datang is rectifying military affairs and preparing to wipe out Yunei, and you are in the prime of life, which is a good time to show your strength."

"It's a pity that the old man was born at an untimely time, otherwise the old man will definitely show his strength again!"

Pei Ju's emotion also touched Su Dingfang deeply.

Su Dingfang said in a deep voice: "Master Pei, if you want to fight those alien races, I, Su Dingfang, will definitely lead the way."

"But you always know that the relationship between me and these Tang generals is a bit awkward."

Speaking of which, Su Dingfang and Li Shimin's generals are no strangers, on the contrary, they are somewhat familiar with each other.

But this familiarity is not as a friend, but as an opponent.

It is precisely because of this that although Su Dingfang also thought about playing for Datang, he chose to give up in the end.

Pei Ju chuckled and said, "Hey, is the opponent from the past going to be the opponent for the rest of his life?"

"Now everyone is focused on fighting the Turks, what's wrong with that?"

"The King of Chu asked me to ask you, I hope you can join the Shence Mansion and explore the Western Regions with him in the future, are you willing?"

"The king of Chu also said that if you can't beat them, you can join them, join forces, and don't lose face!"
