The snake blood and snake gall of the giant python are undoubtedly the most precious things.It is very difficult for pythons to grow in the bitter cold of Liangzhou, and the pythons that can grow in this environment are quite different from other pythons; they cannot be compared with the American and European giant pythons of later generations. There is a world of difference between the two. Don't.

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

Snake gall is even more rare, especially the snake gall of a giant python is a rare treasure, and gold and silver are also in vain.

Half an hour later, Li Li and his group arrived under the big tree where Li Zhi bound Ma Chao and others and kept the giant python.

After seeing the golden flower boa constrictor that Li Zhi was talking about with their own eyes, Li Li, Huan Fei, Ta Lu and more than 200 soldiers behind him were deeply shocked by it, and their eyes were full of horror.

Li Zhi's previous narration still has some reservations. The actual giant python is much larger than the seven feet long that Li Zhi said. After the skinning, the giant python is still 20 meters long, and the length of a big man nowadays is eight feet.The huge snake skin was shining golden in the sunlight, and dense fish scale-like scales could be seen faintly.Perhaps the giant python that Li Zhi saw earlier was a golden flower python, but now the snake's skin that had lost its blood was golden, and there was no trace of color at all.

Li Li had only seen such a huge golden python in his life, and even the well-informed Huan Fei sighed and was shocked.

With the golden python as a backdrop, Ma Chao and the others seemed insignificant. Even Li Li just glanced at him, and then fixed his eyes on the giant python.

After Li Zhi quickly climbed up the big tree and took down the giant python, Li Li waved his hand and escorted Ma Chao and others down the mountain with his own soldiers.

From the beginning to the end, Li Li, Huan Fei, Ta Lu and others did not speak a word to Ma Chao; Ma Chao was also very stubborn, turning his head away from Li Li and his party's faces, let alone begging for mercy.

··················

A few days later, the prefect of Guzang City.

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

Li Li's Go level is really average, but the big man has no other way of entertainment at the moment, so he can only play Go to pass his free time.

After more than ten moves, Li Li fell into a predicament, and his defeat was set, obviously he was not Li Xuan's opponent.

"The lord is restless today, and there seems to be depression between his brows. The lord has something on his mind? If the lord doesn't think his subordinates are dull, you might as well tell them to let them think about it. One person's wit is short, and two people's strengths!"

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

Li Li smiled when he heard this and said, "It's not a matter of concern, it's just a matter of entanglement. Since Yuan Zhong is willing to bother, let me tell you. It's Ma Chao's matter. Yuan Zhong thinks how the prefect should deal with him? To kill him, or not to kill him?" ? Ask Yuan Zhong to make a decision."

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

However, Li Li knew that Li Xuan was indeed a very talented person, skilled in government affairs and well versed in military affairs, he was indeed a descendant of Li Si, the Prime Minister of the pre-Qin period.As far as talent and learning are concerned, there is quite a legacy of his ancestors, even more than that.

What's even more rare is that Li Xuan knows how to advance and retreat, abides by the rules, never oversteps the rules, abides by the way of his subordinates, regards Li Li as his respect, and is always the long-term plan of Wuwei County.

Right now Li Xuan is assisting Li Li in handling the government affairs of the whole county, handling the government affairs in the county in an orderly manner.Coupled with the help of Jia Mu, he seemed very leisurely. From time to time, he would come 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 business, Li Xuan said with a smile: "What's the difficulty in this matter? It's up to the lord to kill or not to kill Ma Chao. One word can decide Ma Chao's life. Ma Chao led his troops to attack the lord twice. I have a deep prejudice against the lord, and it is almost difficult to resolve. Ma Teng in Xiliang will be our enemy sooner or later. Even if the lord releases Ma Chao, we will still meet the Ma family in the end.

Therefore, the lord doesn't need to be scruples, kill him if he wants to, save his life if he doesn't want to kill, temporarily imprison him, and make plans later. "

Li Li looked at Li Xuanfeng's calm expression, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: "It's easy for you to talk, and you don't have back pain when you stand and talk. Do you know that Ma Chao will also be a powerful figure in Liangzhou in the future, and even more famous all over the world?" Powerful warrior?"

Thinking of this, Li Li couldn't help laughing at himself secretly, "It turns out that I, Li, am also a groupie. I am so entangled in this for a Ma Chao who will become famous in the future. It shouldn't be!"

Seeing that the lord Li Li was silent, Li Xuan asked softly: "Could it be that the lord wants to subdue Ma Chao? If that's the case, my subordinates have a plan, and I can try it. As for whether it will succeed in the end, my subordinates dare not say for sure. Just try it out."

"Oh? What's Yuan Zhong's ingenious strategy? It's okay to say it directly." Li Lisha said with interest.

Li Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Don't dare to pretend to be a good strategy. In fact, my subordinates were inspired by the experience of my lord's subjugation of General Li Dian, so I came up with this strategy. It is said that Ma Chao liked BMW horses since he was a child. In addition to practicing martial arts on weekdays Besides, he spends most of his time in the horse farm or stables grooming his mounts and raising horses. In addition, he doesn't like farming and prefers fine clothes and fine food. He wears brocade robes and robes when he enters and exits the house, which is extremely luxurious. In this way, he is reduced to a class The prisoner, why don't the lord become a man of beauty and let him go to the racecourse to raise horses?

Of course, if the lord doesn't want him to be so comfortable, he can also be sent to work in the farmland.Now our government has a lot of fertile land under the name of the government, but the farmers seem to be somewhat insufficient. Therefore, more than a month ago, the subordinates gathered the prisoners in various counties, went to the fields to cultivate them, and sent infantry to guard them day and night for centralized control.

So two ways, I don't know what the Lord wants? "

;

Chapter 1 Nineteen

Three days later, the injuries of Ma Chao and others were basically healed, and the joints that were broken by Li Zhi had also recovered.

On this day, Ma Chao and thirteen soldiers were escorted to the Xicheng Prisoner Camp for centralized control. They went to work in the fields as coolies, ate prison food, and lived in a large cell with dozens of people.

For another ten days, Ma Chao was sent alone to the military horse farm of the county guard's mansion, responsible for cleaning the stables. All food and lodging were in the stables, surrounded by heavy guards.

This period of time was the darkest time in Ma Chao's life.There is no way to escape, I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, and I have to be whipped from time to time, life is worse than death.

Before that, Ma Chao knew that Li Li would not let him go, and would probably humiliate him and behead him in public.

But Ma Chao thought too much.

Li Li didn't humiliate him at all, even from the moment he was caught, Li Li didn't say a word to him and turned a blind eye.Li Li would not kill him, but treated him like a prisoner without any preferential treatment. Going to the farmland and sweeping the stables was more uncomfortable than killing him.

For half a month, Ma Chao gritted his teeth and stood firm.He was not willing to die like this, let alone die at such a young age, but he couldn't see the hope of surviving...

············

Inside the Sheriff's Mansion.

In the east wing of the front yard, Li Zhi lives here.

Originally he lived in the backyard wing, but later when Li Li's family arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion, he moved to the front yard wing.

In the room, Li Li sat aside with a solemn expression, without saying a word.

While Li Zhi was sitting on the bed, two well-known doctors in Wuwei County were giving his pulse diagnosis and treatment, checking whether the root cause of his illness left by Han Sui's side had completely recovered.

"My lord, General Li Zhi's health is no longer serious. The root cause of the disease left over from earlier has been cured after nearly two months of treatment. However, General Li Zhi is not easy to use excessive force, and he is not allowed to eat raw animal meat or drink its blood raw. , let alone go hungry. In this way, by the end of the year, General Li Zhi will completely return to normal, and there will be no signs of premature death."

After checking Li Zhi's physical condition, one of the elderly doctors reported to Li Li.

Li Li smiled and said: "That's very good, thank you two gentlemen for making a special trip to the county mansion, I'm sorry."

While speaking, Li Li raised his hand to the servants outside the door, and a servant immediately handed over two ingots of gold to the two.

After Langzhong left, Li Li sat beside Li Zhi, and said solemnly: "Li Zhi, I was very worried when you fought against Ma Chao and the giant python alone. It's safe and sound, so I'm relieved. Go ahead, Huan Fei sent a dragon-scale bull beast earlier, it's quite a steed, go and see if you like it. If it's not suitable, I'll go to Xiutu another day Choose a mount at the racecourse, there are many good horses there, there are hundreds of them, there will always be one that will satisfy you. Hehehe!"

Li Zhi said excitedly: "Thank you, my lord! My lord is waiting for Li Zhi's kindness to be reborn. I don't know if I can repay my lord's great kindness in this lifetime..."

"Okay, don't say these outlandish words, go and have a look at your mount! After you choose your mount, go to Dian Wei, and you will be the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei from now on."

Li Li opened his mouth to interrupt Li Zhi's words of thanks, while speaking, he got up and walked out of the room, leaving Li Zhi with a tall and strutting back.

··················

"Wenchang, it's rare for you to come back so early today. Yu'er just cooked dragon soup for you and was about to send it to you. I didn't expect you to come back by yourself smelling the fragrance! Hehehe!"

As soon as Li Li entered the backyard, Cai Yan and Li Xin greeted him, and Cai Yan said with a smile.

"Wen Ji, did you know that I didn't go to the government office today, and you were waiting for me at the door! Hehehe!"

Two months ago, Li Li instigated Cai Yan to change the character, changing "Zhao Ji" to "Wen Ji".
