"Come on, Li Zhi, don't worry, just say it slowly.

This time you have made great contributions. I am very happy. I will reward you after I go back! Hahaha!"

Looking at Li Li patting her shoulder with a smile, Li Zhi grinned, his expression obviously relaxed a lot, and he didn't stutter anymore.

"Lord, half an hour ago, I caught Ma Chao and his thirteen people. Just in the jungle three miles ahead of us, I grabbed them and tied them together around a big tree."

Li Li was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly: "How did you catch them? What to tie them up? What if they break free from the rope and run away? Don't worry, Li Zhi, say it slowly."

Hearing Li Li’s question, Li Zhi shook his head and said, “They can’t escape. When the subordinates discovered them before, they were catching snakes around a large snake hole to satisfy their hunger.

However, he did not expect that a golden-flowered python jumped out of the snake cave, which was more than seven feet long, as thick as a wine jar, and was very fierce. Ma Chao's personal soldiers were bitten by the python immediately. The others were frightened and scattered. They were caught one by one by one by one by the subordinates, but they did not run away. Ma Chao was entangled by the python and watched his subordinates catch his personal soldiers one by one, but they were powerless. Later, the subordinates locked Ma Chao and the python and tied their necks until they were exhausted, and then drove them to the big tree.

The golden flower python was killed by his subordinates, and he was skinned and cramped, and removed the snake gallbladder. However, Ma Chao was not dead yet, and his subordinates remembered that his lord said he would not kill him for the time being, so he left his life.

The subordinates tied them to the big tree with vines, and were worried that they would take advantage of my absence and wait for an opportunity to run away. So according to the method of the lord, their knees, knees and shoulders were all misaligned. In this way, even if they broke free from the vines, they would not run far."

"Well? Li Zhi, thank you for your hard work." Li Li patted Li Zhi's shoulder with pity and said, nodding slightly.

Although Li Li was very calm on the surface, his heart suddenly felt agitation and he was frightened.

Li Zhi spoke very lightly and told the whole thing out in just a few words.

However, the hardships and dangers in this are not difficult to imagine, and are far less simple than Li Zhi said.

Ma Chao and his thirteen subordinates, plus a golden flower python as thick as a wooden barrel, were all knocked down by Li Zhi one by one. Moreover, he said that he would lock Ma Chao and the golden flower python with chains, and then fight against two stalemate until Ma Chao and the golden flower python were exhausted.

Is that big python over seven feet long a good character?

Li Zhi tightened Ma Chao with one hand, and with the other hand, he had to deal with the entanglement of the python and the huge power of the snake body, and he could finally defeat it. Although Li Zhi himself did not say about the hardships, how could Li Li, Huan Fei and the Taurus not have imagined?

What Li Li was most worried about was that Li Zhi had just recovered, but he faced such a cruel and cold-blooded battle alone, which would inevitably hurt his vitality.

Fortunately, there was no obvious external injury on Li Zhi. Judging from his expression when he spoke, there should be no internal injury, which made Li Li feel a little relieved.

Li Zhi's loyalty is beyond doubt.

If Li Zhi is injured because of this, Li Li will definitely not forgive himself and will regret it.

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

"Master, this is the blood at the heart of the python and the snake gallbladder. Originally, there is still a lot of snake blood, but the water sac is too small to hold it, so...... The remaining snake blood is drunk by my subordinates. The snake skin and snake flesh are all hung on the tree and taken down later. However, the snake skin is of great use, so please give it to me. My subordinates know a secret method that can make the giant python skin into a flexible inner armor after special soaking. Ordinary swords cannot be pierced, and the arrows are difficult to hurt. After my subordinates have made the soft armor, they will return it to my lord. Please accept it at that time!"

"Oh?" Li Li reached out to take the bulging water bag.

The water bag is not light, weighing at least five or six pounds. Li Zhi's water bag was made by himself, which is larger and stronger than ordinary leather water bags.

People in Liangzhou now have special feelings for water. Most of the soldiers in the Wuwei army have their own water bags. When traveling far away, they will definitely fill the water bags with them, so as to take them with them in case of emergency needs.

More than 200 people who entered the mountain this time were probably the only one who did not have this habit, and everyone else was carrying water bags.

After taking the water bag handed over by Li Zhi, Li Li did not say anything thankful or his expression changed at all.

Because this is Li Zhi's sincere heart, Li Li naturally accepted it without hesitation. It is useless to say more and just have a clear idea in his heart.

The snake blood and snake gall of the giant python are undoubtedly the most valuable things. Liangzhou is bitter and cold, and it is very difficult for pythons to grow. Moreover, the giant pythons that can grow in this environment are very different from other pythons; they cannot be compared with the American and European giant pythons in later generations, and there is a huge difference between the two.

Snake blood is the essence of the giant 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 giant python is comparable to a rare treasure, and gold and silver are in vain and can be encountered but hard to find.

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

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

Li Zhi's previous story is still reserved. In fact, the giant python is much larger than what Li Zhi said. The giant python is still twenty meters long after skinning. If it were the big man nowadays, it would be eight meters long. The huge snake skin shining in the sun, and you can see dense fish-shaped scales in the vaguely. Perhaps the giant python that Li Zhi saw before was a golden flower python, but the snake skin that had lost its blood was golden and there was no trace of variegation at all.

Li Li only saw such a huge golden giant python in his lifetime. Even Huan Fei, who was knowledgeable, sighed and was shocked at this time.

With the golden giant python, Ma Chao and others seemed irrelevant. Even Li Li just glanced at him and then stared at the giant python.

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

From beginning to end, Li Li, Huan Fei, Tarus and others did not say a word to Ma Chao; and Ma Chao was also very tough, turning his head away from looking at Li Li and his group's faces, and did not ask for mercy.

·················

A few days later, Guzang City County Magistrate's Office.

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

Li Li's Go skills are really average, but the current great man has no other way of entertainment, so he has to play Go and spend his free time.

After more than ten moves, Li Li was in a dilemma and his defeat was decided, so he was obviously not Li Xuan's opponent.

"The lord is restless today, and there seems to be a stagnant atmosphere between his eyebrows. Is there something wrong with him? If the lord doesn't think his subordinates are stupid, you might as well tell him that he can think about it. One person is short-sighted, and two people are better!"

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

Li Li smiled and said, "It's not a matter of concern, it's just a lot of confusion. Since Yuanzhong is willing to worry, I'll say it's up to you. It's Ma Chao's business. Yuanzhong thinks how should I deal with him? Kill, or not? Please give Yuanzhong a fight."

Li Xuan always had a faint smile on his face, his behavior was calm, his expression was calm, and he looked unpredictable and profound.

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 worthy of being a descendant of Li Si, the prime minister of the pre-Qin Dynasty. In terms of talent and knowledge, he had his ancestors' legacy, and even more than that.

What is even more rare is that Li Xuan knew the long-term plan of advancing and retreating, abides by the rules, never goes beyond the rules, adheres to the laws of his subordinates, respects Li Li, and is everywhere as the long-term plan of Wuwei County.

At present, Li Xuan assisted Li Li in handling government affairs in the county and handled government affairs in an orderly manner in the county. In addition, with Jia Mu helping him, he seemed very leisurely, and came to Li Li to play chess from time to time, or discuss the future development direction of Wuwei County, or discuss the general trend of the world.

Hearing that it was Ma Chao's business, Li Xuan smiled and said, "What's the difficulty of this matter? Killing or not killing depends on the lord's intention. Ma Chao's life and death can be determined by one word. 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. Ma Teng, Xiliang, will sooner or later be our enemy. Even if the lord lets Ma Chao go, we and the Ma family will eventually meet each other.

Therefore, the lord doesn’t need to worry about it. He kills him if he wants to kill, and saves his life if he doesn’t want to kill. He is temporarily detained and plans will be made in the future."

Li Li looked at Li Xuanfeng's light expression and rolled his eyes and said to himself: "You guy speaks easily, and you don't feel hurt when you stand. Do you know that Ma Chao will be a powerful figure in Liangzhou in the future and a powerful general who is famous all over the world?"

As soon as he thought of this, Li Li couldn't help but laugh in his heart, "It turns out that I, Li, is also a star-chasing clan. I'm so entangled for a Ma Chao who will become famous in the future. It shouldn't be so entangled!"

Seeing that his lord Li Li was silent, Li Xuan asked softly: "Does the lord want to subdue Ma Chao? If this is true, my subordinates have a plan and can try it. As for whether it will be successful in the end, I dare not assert that I can only try it out."

"Oh? What kind of tricks Yuanzhong has? It's okay to just say it." Li Li said with great interest.

Li Xuan smiled and said, "I dare not make a fool of myself. In fact, my subordinates were inspired by the experience of the lord conquering General Li Dian, so I came up with this strategy. It is said that Ma Chao has loved BMWs since he was a child. In addition to practicing martial arts, he spent most of his time washing the mounts and raising horses in the horse farm or stable. In addition, he does not like farming and farming, and prefers brocade clothes and food. He goes to and from the doors of the mansion, which is extremely luxurious. In this way, he becomes a prisoner at the understairs. Why don't the lord be beautiful and let him go to the horse farm to raise horses?

Of course, if the lord doesn't want him to feel so comfortable, he can also be sent to farmland to farm. Now there are many fertile land under the name of our government office, but the farmers seem to be a little insufficient. Therefore, the subordinates gathered prisoners detained in various counties more than a month ago, went to the fields to farm, and sent infantry to guard day and night, and centralized control.

I wonder what the lord wants to do with such two paths?” (To be continued)
