"Come, Li Zhi, don't worry, speak slowly.

I'm glad you've done a great job this time, and I'll reward you when I get back! Hehehe! ”

Seeing Li Li pat his shoulder with a smile, Li Zhi grinned, his expression was obviously much more relaxed, and he didn't stutter anymore.

"Lord, half an hour ago, I caught all thirteen people in Ma Chao's party. Just three miles in front of us in the jungle, I grabbed them and tied them around a big tree. ”

Li Li was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How did you catch them?" And with what binds them? What if they break free from the rope and run away? Don't worry, Li Zhi, speak slowly. ”

Hearing Li Li's question, Li Zhi shook his head and said, "They can't run away." When the subordinates found them earlier, they were hunting snakes around a large snake cave.

But I didn't expect that a golden-flowered python popped out of the snake hole, which was more than seven zhang long, and the wine jar was as thick as that, very fierce. Ma Chao's personal soldiers were immediately bitten by pythons, and the others were so frightened that they scattered, and were grabbed by their subordinates with chains one by one, and none of them ran away. And Ma Chao was entangled by the python, watching his subordinates capture his personal soldiers one by one, but he couldn't do anything. Later, the subordinates chained Ma Chao and the python together, strangled their necks until they were exhausted, and then whipped them to the tree.

The goldenrod python was killed by his subordinates, peeled off the skin and cramped, and took off the snake gall. However, Ma Chao is not dead yet, and his subordinates remember that the lord said that he would not kill him for the time being, so he left his life.

The subordinates tied them to the tree with vines, and feared that they would run away while I was away. So according to the method that the lord said, their knees ・・・・・・ right, knee joints, and shoulder joints were all misaligned. In this way, even if they break free of the vines, they will not be able to run far. ”

"Huh? Li Zhi, thank you for your hard work. Li Li patted Li Zhi's shoulder with pity, nodded lightly and said.

Although Li Li was calm on the surface, his heart suddenly stirred up and he was terrified.

Li Zhi spoke very lightly, and said the whole thing in just a few words.

But the hardships and dangers in this are not difficult to imagine, and they are far from being as simple as Li Zhi said.

Ma Chao and his thirteen subordinates, plus a barrel-thick golden flower python, were all defeated by Li Zhi alone. Moreover, he said that he used chains to lock Ma Chao and the Golden Flower Python together, and then fought with one enemy and two stalemates until Ma Chao and the Golden Flower Python were exhausted.

Is that seven-foot-long python a good-looking character?

Li Zhi tightened Ma Chao with both hands, and with the other hand, he had to deal with the entanglement of the python and the huge liliang of the snake's body, and he could finally win the battle. Although Li Zhi didn't say anything about the hardships in this, Li Li, Huan Fei and Tatar couldn't have imagined it.

What worries Li Li the most is that Li Zhi's body has just recovered, but he is facing such a cruel and cold-blooded battle alone, which will inevitably hurt his vitality.

Fortunately, Li Zhi has no obvious external injuries on his body, and judging by his expression when he speaks, there should be no internal injuries, which makes Li Li feel a little at ease.

Li Zhi's loyalty is beyond doubt.

If Li Zhi is injured because of this, Li Li will definitely not forgive himself, and his intestines will be repentant.

Just as Li Li was thinking about his thoughts, Li Zhi rubbed his hands on his clothes, then took off the water bladder from his waist and handed it to Li Li with both hands.

"My lord, this is the blood and snake gall of the python. Originally, there was a lot of snake blood, but the water bladder was too small to hold, so all the remaining snake blood ・・・・・・ was drunk by his subordinates. The snakeskin and snake meat are all hung on the tree and can be removed later. However, as for the snakeskin, my subordinates have other great uses, and I ask the lord to give it to me. His subordinates knew a secret method that could make the skin of a giant python snake into a flexible inner armor after special soaking, which could not be pierced by ordinary swords and was difficult to hurt by arrows. After the subordinates have done the soft armor, they will return it to the lord, and when the time comes, please accept it! ”

"Oh?" In the midst of his heaviness, Li Li reached out and took the bulging water bladder.

The water bladder is not light, at least five or six pounds. And Li Zhi's water bladder is made by himself, which is larger than the ordinary leather water bladder, and it is much stronger.

At present, the people of Liangzhou have a special affection for water. Most of the soldiers in the Wuwei army had their own water bladders, and when they traveled far away, they would definitely fill the water bladders and bring them with them in case of emergency.

Of the more than 200 people who entered the mountain this time, I am afraid that only Li Li himself did not have this habit, and the others all carried water bladders.

Accepting the water bladder handed by Li Zhi, Li Li did not have any words of thanks, nor did he change his expression at all.

Because this is Li Zhi's sincere heart, Li Li naturally accepts it without hesitation, saying more is useless, just know it in his heart.

The snake blood and snake gall of the giant python are undoubtedly the most precious things. Liangzhou is bitterly cold, and it is very difficult for pythons to grow, and the pythons that can grow in this environment are very different from other pythons; It is categorically not comparable to the American and European pythons of later generations, and there is a world of difference between the two.

Snake blood is the essence of the python's body. In fact, many species are the same, including humans, and blood is the source of life, which is extremely rare.

Snake gall is even more rare, especially the snake gall of the python is comparable to a rare treasure, and gold and silver are also in vain, but they are hard to find.

Half an hour later, Li Li and his entourage rushed to the big tree where Li Zhi tied up Ma Chao and the others and stored the giant python.

After seeing the golden flower python in Li Zhi's mouth, Li Li, Huan Fei, Tatar and more than 200 personal soldiers behind him were deeply shocked, and their eyes were full of horror.

Li Zhi's previous story is still reserved, the actual python is much larger than the seven zhang long Li Zhi said, and the giant python after peeling is still twenty meters long, and the length of the current big man is eight zhang. The huge snake skin shone golden in the sun, and faintly you could see dense fish scales. Perhaps the giant python Li Zhi saw before was a golden-flowered python, but the snake skin that had lost its blood at this time was golden, and there was no trace of variegated color at all.

Such a huge golden python has only been seen in Li Li's life, and even the well-informed Huan Fei sighed and was shocked at this time.

With the golden python as a backdrop, Ma Chao and the others seemed insignificant, and even Li Li only glanced at him, and then stared at the giant python.

After Li Zhi quickly climbed the tree and took down the giant python, Li Li waved his hand and led the pro-army team to escort Ma Chao and others down the mountain.

From beginning to end, Li Li, Huan Fei, Tatar Lu and others did not say a word to Ma Chao; And Ma Chao was also very tough, turned his head and didn't look at the faces of Li Li and his party, and didn't open his mouth to beg for mercy.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

A few days later, Guzang Cheng County guarded the mansion.

In the study, Li Li and Li Xuan sat opposite each other, playing Go.

Li Li's level of Go is really average, but there is no other way for the Han to have a pastime, so he has to play Go to pass the free time.

After more than ten hands, Li Li fell into a predicament, and the defeat was decided, obviously not Li Xuan's opponent.

"The lord is restless today, and there seems to be a depression between his eyebrows, and the lord has something on his mind? If the lord doesn't think his subordinates are stupid, he might as well say it and let his subordinates think about it. ”

After cleaning up the mess, Li Xuan took a sip of hot tea and then said softly.

Li Li smiled when he heard this: "I can't talk about my thoughts, it's just quite tangled." Since Yuan Zhong is willing to bother, then I will listen to you. Or is it Ma Chao's matter, how does Yuan Zhong think Ben Taishou should deal with him? To kill, or not to kill? Please Yuan Zhong to decide. ”

Li Xuan always had a faint smile on his face, his demeanor was calm, his expression was calm, and he looked unfathomable.

However, Li Li knew that Li Xuan was indeed a very talented person, skilled in government affairs, and well versed in military aircraft, but he was worthy of being the descendant of Li Si, the prime minister of the pre-Qin Dynasty. In terms of talent and learning, it has the legacy of its ancestors, and even surpasses it.

What is even more rare is that Li Xuanzhi advances and retreats, abides by the rules, never exceeds the system, abides by the way of his subordinates, respects Li Li, and is the long-term plan of Wuwei County everywhere.

At present, Li Xuan assists Li Li in handling the government affairs of the whole county, and handles the large and small government affairs in the county in an orderly manner. In addition, with Jia Mu from the side, he seems very leisurely, and from time to time he comes to Li Li to play chess, or to discuss the future development direction of Wuwei County, or to discuss the general trend of the world.

Hearing that it was Ma Chao's matter, Li Xuan smiled and said: "What's the difficulty in this matter, whether to kill or not to kill depends on the will of the lord, and a word can decide Ma Chao's life and death." Ma Chao led his troops to attack the lord twice, which shows that he has a deep prejudice against the lord and is almost difficult to resolve. And Xiliang Ma Teng will be our great enemy sooner or later, even if the lord releases Ma Chao, we and the Ma family will still have to meet each other after all.

Therefore, the lord does not need to scruples, he can kill if he wants to kill, and if he doesn't want to kill, he will leave his life, temporarily detain, and make plans in the future. ”

Li Li looked at Li Xuanfeng's indifferent expression, couldn't help rolling his eyes, and said in his heart: "You guys are easy to say, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Do you know that Ma Chao will also be a powerful figure in Liangzhou in the future, and he will be a powerful warrior who is well-known all over the world? ”

As soon as he thought of this, Li Li couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself in his heart, "It turns out that I, Li, am also a star chaser, and for a Ma Chao who will become famous in the future, I am so entangled, I shouldn't be!" ”

Li Xuan saw that the lord Li Li was silent, and asked softly, "Could it be that the lord wants to subdue Ma Chao?" If that's the case, the subordinates have a plan to try. As for whether it can be done in the end, the subordinates dare not assert it, so they can only try to know. ”

"Oh? If Yuan Zhong has any clever plan, it doesn't hurt to say it directly. Li Lisha said with interest.

Li Xuan smiled slightly: "I don't dare to call it a wonderful strategy, in fact, my subordinates were also inspired by hearing about the lord's subjugation of General Li Dian, so they had this strategy." It is said that Ma Chao has been fond of BMW horses since he was a child, and in addition to practicing martial arts, he spends most of his time in the horse farm or stable to groom his mounts and raise horses. In addition, he does not like farming, prefers brocade clothes and jade food, and he is dressed in brocade robes when entering and leaving the mansion, which is extremely luxurious. In this way, he became a prisoner of the stairs, why didn't the lord become an adult and let him go to the horse farm to raise horses?

Of course, if the lord doesn't want him to be so comfortable, he can also send him to the farm. Nowadays, there is a lot of fertile land in the name of our government office, but the farmers seem to be a little insufficient, so more than a month ago, the subordinates gathered the prisoners detained in various counties, went to the fields, and sent foot guards to guard them day and night, so as to centralize control.

In these two ways, I don't know what happens under the Lord's public will? (To be continued)
