The chests of gold and jewels in the Turkic wagons were hooked directly by the robbers of the green forest with ropes with hooks and dragged away by horses. By the time the Turkic cavalry finally got rid of the herd and the sea of fire, drove the remaining herd back together, and then dragged along the trail of the ground, there were only empty chests left everywhere.

This vote is enough for these green forest thieves to not need to open for a few years.

Therefore, some people began to retreat, and walked on the grassland for two days pretending to be a caravan, and several people had already left secretly at night. After four days, almost half of them remained.

Yi Qiulou was greatly annoyed, saying that after all, they were bandits and could not be trusted. Li Feng comforted him, saying that this is human nature, and since the purpose has been achieved, and the effect is much better than expected, it doesn't matter whether these people run away or stay.

Xia Hongsheng, Yi Qiulou and Li Fengyi combined, and decided that since there were only so many people left, and the losses of the Turks were very serious, the goal had been achieved at one time beyond expectations, so they simply broke up.

After the group dispersed, Xia Hongsheng turned back and went to Xiazhou, and happened to go to the Thorn Mansion with the Turkic envoys.

So there was Xia Hongsheng's meeting with the Turks and pro-envoys.

The envoys went to Xiazhou first, but the rest of the pro-mission was still there to count the losses and try to recover the cattle, sheep and horses that had been scattered.

The Turkic envoy proposed to let the envoys set off in advance and go to Chang'an first, but the intention was obvious, that is, they were competing for time with Xue Yantuo, so Xia Hongsheng was ready to drag the envoy with a procrastination.

The emissaries had just been sacked, burned and chased by mad herds, and then they could not even wait for the exact number of losses to be counted. rushed to Xiazhou, also physically and mentally exhausted, so Xia Hongsheng asked them to take a rest first, and they didn't refuse.

When you rest, there are only a few lines of sunset left in the sky.

Outside the door stood a little servant of the Thorn Mansion, and saw him come out. Immediately stepped forward very politely and said: "Lord Messenger, Lord Hou and Lord Thorn Shi will hold a banquet for all the envoys, and the little one is ordered to come to lead the way for you, and please move your envoys!" ”

The little servant led the Turkic envoy to the back hall, Xia Hongsheng and Liu Min were already waiting, and many dishes were placed on a large round table. It was not a person sitting at a table or a case, which surprised these envoys first.

"Hehe, you've come from afar. is a distinguished guest of the Tang Dynasty, but Ben Hou and Liu Tingshi are not negligent. Xia Hongsheng saw everyone coming in, so he smiled and said: "You guys, please take a seat, today Ben Hou and Liu Tingshi will be together for your distinguished guests, please!" ”

This table was sent by Xia Hongsheng to buy spices to make by himself, there are fried dishes around, in the middle is a raw plate, and there is a big copper hot pot in the innermost. One table can do ten people, exactly two tables.

There were several bottles of white crystal clear on the table. At first glance, it doesn't look like an ordinary product. The inside looks clean and translucent. Several pairs of eyes in the messengers lit up as soon as they saw the bottles on the table.

Everyone sat down, one person in front of one person and one glass, Xia Hongsheng smiled and lifted a bottle of wine on the table and opened it.

Suddenly. A strong aroma of wine immediately filled the hall, and these Turkic envoys were immediately attracted, their eyes were all staring at Xia Hongsheng's hands, and their noses twitched and inhaled the lingering aroma of wine around them.

"The wine on this table is not quite the same, the bottle that Ben Hou has opened now. It is produced by the Tang Royal Wine Factory, the strongest wine in the world, ordinary people will have a headache for several days after drinking it, only the bravest warriors dare to drink this wine. Xia Hongsheng looked at the wine bottle in his hand, and after speaking, he shook his head and sighed, put the bottle down again, and said, "Let's drink ordinary wine!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and opened a bottle, and naturally there were people waiting next to him, filling the cups in front of everyone. The glass was not small, and after filling it up, a bottle of wine was poured on a table.

"Come, you are here for the eternal friendship between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and this cup should be given to you by this marquis." Saying that, Xia Hongsheng picked up a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it.

"Good!" Seeing that Xia Hongsheng finished drinking in one gulp, the chief envoy shouted hello and said: "Master Hou personally went from Chang'an to Xiazhou to greet us and others, which shows Datang's intentions, and I will do it!" ”

With that, everyone raised their heads and went away.

When he put down the cup, he heard someone say, "Alas! This wine doesn't taste as good as the wine just now! Turkic warriors rode the strongest horses on the steppe, and naturally drank the strongest wine! ”

"This ......" Xia Hongsheng showed a hesitant look and said: "I'm not afraid that this warrior will be blamed when I say it, that wine is the strongest and most fragrant wine in the world, but because of this, not everyone can drink it, if the warrior wants to taste it, Benhou naturally can't be stingy." It's just that if you have a headache after drinking it, it's no wonder that Ben Hou didn't remind him - forget it, don't drink it! The wine we are drinking now is the same top-quality wine produced by Datang Royal Winery! ”

This wine is indeed a good wine, but the degree is far less high than the one that Xia Hongsheng opened for the first time. Xia Hongsheng opened it for the first time, and it was the head of the wine. Datang Royal Distillery now makes wine, generally a pool can produce 600 catties of wine, and when distilling, it is necessary to "pinch the wine" and segment the wine. The first 100 catties of this distillation are called wine heads. The head of the wine has the highest degree, up to 70 degrees, which is very strong and has a very strong flavor. It's just that this can't be drunk indiscriminately, and it needs to be blended before drinking. But Xia Hongsheng was to delay the Turkic envoys, so he prepared a lot when he left Chang'an, just to make these Turkic envoys get drunk and lie down for a few days at a time and delay their time.

"Master Hou, this is looking down on us Turkic warriors?!" The man did not seem to be a messenger, but an escort, and he immediately stood up and said, without being provoked.

"Where is this, how can Ben Hou look down on the warriors?" Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "Someone!" Pour wine for this warrior! ”

As he spoke, he opened the wine again, and suddenly there was a strong aroma of wine.

poured a bowl in front of him, and the man drank it as soon as he took it to his mouth, and as soon as he put it in his mouth, his face suddenly turned red, but he still endured a few sips and drank it, and his face was already red. He put down his glass and said, "Okay...... What a strong wine! Good aroma! ”

The Turks already like to drink strong wine, and when they see him at this moment, they smell the strong aroma of wine, and they are even more greedy.

Xia Hongsheng looked at everyone's reactions and said, "Sure enough, he is a good man!" This Turkic warrior is good! Come on, pour all the Turkic warriors the strongest wine in the world! ”

Seeing that everyone was happy, Xia Hongsheng was also very happy. Get drunk today and lie down in bed for three days! (To be continued.) )
