Chapter 5 Khan Court

Li Ke was a smart man. He knew very well that the Turks were no more powerful than the Central Plains. They only respected one thing, that is strength.

The stronger the performance of the Tang Dynasty on the northern front, the more Li Ke needed Li Ke to live, and the safer Li Ke's situation in the Turks. If the Turks really surpassed the Tang Dynasty on one day, the Tang Dynasty would no longer pose any threat to the Turks. Only then did his proton really lose his value and was not far from death.

Li Ke sounded passionate about what Wen Yanbo said, but there were many of his own calculations and considerations in his words, but they did not come from their public intentions.

Wen Yanbo is a sincere gentleman, so naturally he does not care as much as Li Ke. Li Ke's words were really listened to by Wen Yanbo and taken it as true.

Li Ke didn't dare to win over Wen Yanbo, so he just talked a few more times, gave him some money and silver, and then set off north.

Jie Li was ambitious and fought for years. The Turkic subordinate divisions were often recruited, but they gained nothing and had already complained. However, in the Turkic headquarters, Jie Li still had a high reputation.

What's more, Jie Li returned with a full load this time, and returned with a mountain of jewelry and food, and the enthusiasm of the Turkic people increased even more.

When the Turkic army was more than ten miles away from the Jinshan Khanate, many Turkic herders had already greeted each other, riding cattle and horses, singing the song of triumphantness around the Turkic army.

Li Ke sat in the carriage, listening to the cheerful singing outside the carriage, but without any interest.

In the eyes of the Turks, this cheering song is naturally supreme glory, but in the eyes of the Tang people, it is regarded as humiliation.

Li Ke originally thought that he would just go to the Turkic Khan Court like this, but Jie Li obviously didn't want to just let it go.

This time the Turkic invasion south, the proton Li Ke was also one of his spoils, and even the most worthy of showing off, so how could he let go of it easily?

So, ten miles away from the Turkic Khan Court, Li Ke was invited by Jie Li to the front army and went to the Khan Court with him on the grounds that he enjoyed the grand scenery of the Turkic Khan Court.

"How is the third prince compared to the Tang Dynasty when he saw the appearance of my Turkic army?" Li Ke and the high-ranking officials of the Turkic people. In order to please Jie Li, the favorite minister Kang Sumi pointed to the high-spirited Turkic army and said proudly to Li Ke.

Li Ke is not a fool. He is in the Turks at the moment. If he speaks coldly, he will only give them reasons to deal with him. However, Li Ke is unwilling to put himself too low and do such flattery. So he replied: "Turkish soldiers are all over the north of the desert and are naturally elite. However, I have lived in the palace for a long time and rarely contacted my Datang Palace Guard. I am afraid that the difference between the two is difficult to judge."

Li Ke's answer was obviously not what Kang Sumi wanted, nor what Jie Li wanted. After hearing Li Ke's answer, Jie Li obviously had a trace of dissatisfaction on his face.

If it weren't for Jie Li's confidant Zhao Deyan's words in advance, and now all the tribes on the grassland are gradually not obeying the Turkic rule, they should not form mortal enemies with the Tang Dynasty before the Turkic forces completely pacified the grassland and suppressed the tribes. Jie Li wanted to tie Li Ke on his horse and return with great power.

Jie Li laughed and said, "Kang Sumi, it's too difficult for him. What can he see, Huangkouruzi, who can't even pull a soft bow. What's more, the battle of Weishui is enough to prove everything. Why do you need to compare the two countries' superiority? Hahaha!"

Jie Li's words were extremely crazy. When the generals of Jie Li's side heard this, they only praised him. No one dared to raise any objection, as if it was really as Jie Li said. The Turkic army had already been rampant in the world and was unparalleled in the country.

The scene before Li Ke's cold eyes only reminded eight words in his mind: "Flowers are in brocade, and fire is cooking oil."

Today, the Turks seem to be strong and even surpass the Central Plains. In fact, they are all indulged in internal and external troubles. They are on the verge of collapse. It is ridiculous that Jie Li and these Turkic nobles still have no idea about this and dream of holding the world.

Li Ke did not object to Jie Li's words in shame, but just lowered his head and rode his horse forward. After another stick of incense, the cheers in his ears became increasingly dense, and the crowd gradually became denser. Li Ke looked up and was deeply shocked.

Li Ke knew that the Turkic Khan Court at the foot of the Jinshan Mountain must have arrived.

Since the founding ruler of the Turkic country and the Ili Khan Ashinatu Gate, the tent of the Khan Ashinatu Gate, has been set in Jinshan for nearly a hundred years. Although the Turks were nomadic and did not build cities, the accumulation of a hundred years has made the Khan tent under Jinshan extremely large. Li Ke looked at it and was afraid that it would be less than ten thousand tops, and this was just the side of the southern foot of Li Ke.

The tens of thousands of big tents in front of me are probably Jie Li’s greatest capital.

The surprise in Li Ke's eyes was seen by Jie Li Khan. Jie Li seemed to be very helpful to Li Ke's reaction, showing a proud look.

Although Li Ke was a proton and Jie Li did not attach much importance to him, Li Ke was a real prince of the Tang Dynasty. He was very knowledgeable since childhood, and he was definitely not comparable to the local buns of the Turkic tribe. Even Li Ke was surprised by the size of the Turkic Khan tent, so Jie Li was naturally happy and felt a gleam on his face.

"This is where my Turkic Khan Court is located. What do Protons think?" Jie Li asked, pointing to the Khan Court in front of him.

Li Ke replied: "There are so many big tents like stars and clouds, with a magnificent momentum, which is a wonder."

Jie Li waved his hand and said, "Since the proton is the best to appreciate this place and there, Ben Khan has ordered someone to build an account for you, and you will be in it from now on."

Li Ke nodded and replied indifferently without seeing any joy and anger: "Khan is intent, Li Ke thanked me."

Jie Li smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite to proton. In addition to you, Ben Khan also prepared a place for Emperor Tang here. When Ben Khan settled Guanzhong, he would bring Emperor Tang here to reunite you, father and son. How about it?"

"Hahaha..." As soon as Jie Li finished speaking, Li Ke still spoke, and the Turkic nobles beside Jie Li were already bursting into laughter.

The so-called king and ministers die, and the generals are even more so. Behind Li Ke, after hearing Jie Li's words, Su Dingfang's face was already red, and he had the intention of reprimanding Jie Li.

At this moment, Li Ke suddenly said, "Li Ke once heard from his father that his father had prepared a large mansion for Khan in Chongrenfang. If he had the chance in the future, he would ask Khan to come and sit down."

As soon as Li Ke said, the laughter of the Turkic nobles stopped abruptly, their faces suddenly looked ugly, and they all looked in Jie Li's direction, waiting for Jie Li's reaction, as if Jie Li had just one word, they would kill Li Ke on the spot.

Jie Li didn't expect Li Ke to speak to him like this. He was stunned at first, without the murderous intentions expected by the Turkic nobles, but instead asked: "How old is the proton?"

Li Ke didn't know why Jie Li asked this. Could it be that he was determined to kill and would he have to count his life for him?

Li Ke replied: "Li Ke was born in the second year of Wude and is eight years old this year."

"Eight years old, eight years old."

Jie Li muttered a few words, then suddenly laughed, and there was a hint of appreciation in his words. He said, "The emperor and minister of the Tang Dynasty are afraid of my military power and offer treasures to reconcile. You, an eight-year-old boy, are still a bit tough, rare."

Jie Li's reaction suddenly exceeded everyone's expectations. They thought Jie Li would be furious, but they didn't expect to take it over so lightly.

Li Ke couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at Jie Li's reaction.
