Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

Li Zhi took body lotion for Li Shimin and went to the carriage.

Open the curtain and present it to Li Shimin.

"Father, this is a body lotion specially made by my brother-in-law, given by Lao Chen."

Li Zhi said happily.

Li Shimin took it and asked, "How to use this thing?"

Li Zhi made a wiping motion.

Li Shimin sat up, opened the lid, and wiped it evenly on his face and the back of his hands.

Needless to say, I feel much more comfortable right away.

After passing Lanzhou City, there is no big city on the Gobi Desert to settle down.

Seeing the sun go down, Li Jing reined in his horse and arrived beside Li Shimin's carriage.

"Your Majesty, do you want to camp here tonight and leave tomorrow?"

Li Jing asked for instructions.

Li Shimin said: "You are a general, you can arrange it yourself, you don't need to ask me."

Li Shimin delegated power and let Li Jing handle it with full power.

It stands to reason that the emperor may not participate in such an expedition.

In order to ensure that after the Turks were wiped out in one fell swoop, Li Shimin would pacify the Western Regions and manage the Western Regions well, so he went out in person.

He only cares about some general directions, and he will definitely not ask about small things.

Li Jing got the order to let the army station on the spot.

After stopping, the Queen of the Crossbow and the Shenji Battalion were outside, guarding the west.

In fact, there is Gaochang Dufu Mansion to the west, and the enemy's attack is unlikely.

There are not tens of thousands of people who can't do it in a sneak attack on a hundred thousand troops.

And an army of tens of thousands of people wants to slip under the nose of Gaochang Dufu, unless Gaochang Dufu is blind.

Su Yu got out of the carriage and stretched.

A round of red sun fell into the Gobi Desert, the smoke was lit up, and the army cooked and rested.

Li Shimin came over and sighed: "The scenery in the desert is quite different from that in the Central Plains."

His first visit to the West.

It was also the first time Su Yu saw such a bleak scene.

I have seen the heavy snow in Liaodong before, and the vast atmosphere of the virgin forest.

But this time the Gobi Desert is a desert.

Although it is early spring, there is a sense of autumn.

"If you want to ask about the side of a bicycle, it belongs to the country of Juyan.

Zheng Peng left Hansai and returned to Hu Tian.

The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

Whenever Xiao Guan rides, he protects Yan Ran. "

Su Yu couldn't help reciting Wang Wei's poems.

A great poet is a great poet, and the lines perfectly describe the Gobi scene.

Li Shimin didn't know that it was Wang Wei's poem, and thought it was Su Yu who came here on a whim.

"Good poetry."

Li Shimin praised.

Li Jing was quite proficient in writing and ink, and praised: "The solitary smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river. These two sentences can be called classics."

Su Yu smiled and said, "This is not my poem, it is Wang Wei's."

Su Yu does not take away the beauty of others.

Li Shimin asked in surprise: "Where is Wang Wei? I want to announce him as an official in the court, and serve as a secretary supervisor."

How could Li Shimin miss such a great talent.

Su Yu smiled and said, "He was born 70 years later."

puff.
Li Shimin felt tricked.

"Stinky boy, use me for entertainment."

Su Yu said: "I didn't lie to you, I was born 70 years later."

Wang Wei was born in 701. According to the time, it was probably 70 years.

Li Jing said with a smile: "My son-in-law is a fortune teller, maybe he really is."

Su Yu once set up a fortune-telling stall on the streets of Chang'an for several years, and Li Shimin also calculated his own Xuanwu Gate change.

Li Shimin was speechless.

Cheng Yaojin set up a bonfire, and the Gobi Desert at night had a large temperature difference and was relatively cold.

"Your Majesty, sit here and enjoy the fire."

Cheng Yaojin said graciously.

Li Shimin sat down, and Lao Chen took out the seasoning from the carriage.

Su Yu said: "Go and buy a few sheep. The lamb in the Gobi Desert is the best."

The gobi desert has less mutton smell, and the meat is just right for fat and lean.

Not long after Lao Chen left, he came back with a sheep on his shoulders.

Slaughter the sheep, cut into diced meat, and skewer them, and you will have mutton skewers.

Cheng Yaojin took off his armor, put on a military overcoat, and squatted beside the campfire, grilling mutton skewers.

"I knew it wouldn't be hard to go out to war with you."

Cheng Yaojin looked at the sizzling mutton, and his saliva flowed out.

Chen Yuan brought over two jars of wine and shared them with everyone.

Li Zhi came over with a stool, and Li Shimin sat down.

After the first skewer was cooked, Cheng Yaojin held back his greed and gave the mutton skewers to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, please try my old Cheng's craftsmanship."

Cheng Yaojin said graciously.

Li Shimin took it, tasted it, and it was delicious.

"Well, not bad, Lu Guogong's barbecue skills have not fallen behind."

Li Shimin praised.

During the last expedition to Liaodong, Cheng Yaojin specially practiced barbecue skills, and the roasted chicken legs were very popular at that time.

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed, and said proudly: "That is, when I was in Chang'an City, I would go to Yongyang Fang to eat buffet barbecue every now and then."

Su Yu took the meat skewers and roasted them slowly.

When the meat is oily and the aroma comes out, sprinkle the cumin powder on it.

Take a sip of wine and eat a bunch of meat, which has a special flavor.

"With wine and meat, it's almost like traveling."

Old Chen said.

Su Yu smiled and said, "That's almost what it means."

The three bonfires next to it belonged to Qingyue's gang.

They ate scones and looked at the deserted Gobi Desert, feeling very strange.

"Senior sister, how do people live here? There is no vegetation at all."

said the disciple.

They are used to seeing the evergreen mountains and rivers in the land of Liuzhao, this kind of Gobi Desert is very strange to them.

Qingyue said: "When they come to our Liuzhao, I'm afraid they will feel the same way."

Everyone laughed and said, "That's right."

Lao Chen gave them three sheep, and Qingyue smelled them, but there was no smell.

"Sisters, kebabs, like a son."

Qingyue took out a knife to cut the mutton.

The other disciples said: "The mutton tastes too strong, it's not good to eat."

Qingyue said: "Don't worry, there is no mutton smell, you will know after a taste."

Qingyue roasted a few skewers, everyone ate it, and found that there was no mutton smell, so they were happy.

After eating the mutton skewers and drinking the wine, Su Yu got into the carriage to rest.

Cheng Yao, the golden rooster thief, had expected this when he went out, brought the carriage out, and returned to the carriage to rest.

Both Xu Shiji and Li Jing set up a tent outside to rest, whether they brought the carriage or not.

"Cheng Zhijie is becoming more and more lazy now, and actually wants to sleep in the carriage during the march."

Xu Shiji sneered.

Li Jing smiled and said, "That's right, you're pretending to be a gentleman."

"Back then, it was good to have meat to eat, but now there are wine, meat, and carriages."

Cheng Yaojin heard the two people hurting him, poked his head out of the window, and said, "You two are just jealous."

Xu Shiji said contemptuously: "In two years, you won't be able to fight any more wars, so stay at home and bask in the sun with your grandson."

Cheng Yaojin ignored Xu Shiji's sarcasm, and lay down comfortably.

"Just be jealous, anyway, I, Old Cheng, can be comfortable by myself."

Cheng Yaojin completely ignored it.

Cheng Chumo lived in a tent with Qin Huaidao and Wei Shuyu.

"Chu Mo, you, Aye, are so smart, you know how to bring a carriage out."

Wei Shuyu laughed.

Cheng Chu smiled silently: "Isn't it because I have been with the young master for a long time, and I have learned to be good."

I slept on the Gobi Desert that night, and soldiers patrolled at night.
