Lou Fan skillfully deals with fat sheep, peels and picks out internal organs, which is extremely scattered, and it seems that practice makes perfect.

Seeing that Lou Fan's sword skills were flexible, Pei Min couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Lou's sword skills are practiced this way!"

It was a joke, but Lou Fan said: "It's almost done. The strange man who taught me the sword technique was just to see that I was skillful in using the kitchen knife. He was a good person who used the sword technique, so he taught me the sword technique."

Lou Fan said as he had already set up a wooden frame to set fire and started roasting the whole sheep.

The fire became increasingly strong, and Pei Min, Lou Fan, Li Yide, Xia Shan, Wang Xiaobai and others gathered together, and their faces were blushed by the flames.

As the smell of barbecue came, almost everyone stared at the roasted lamb whose fragrance gradually appeared on the flames, and even Pei Min couldn't wait.

They just came out of the desert. What kind of delicious food can there be in the desert?

Dried meat and dry food are amazing. If you can drink a bowl of soup, it is the supreme delicacy.

Roasted Lamb?

It is hard to find dry firewood that makes fire in the desert, and you still expect to eat foods related to the word "grilled"?

In the past half a month, they had only had a comfortable meal near Moon Lake. When they suddenly smelled so delicious, they couldn't help but feel impatient.

However, Lou Fan slowly took out various seasonings from the bag beside him and added some to the meat. He found a small bottle of sesame oil and began to gently drip the mutton. The sesame oil slowly flowed along the mutton, and was roasted by the flames below and slowly penetrated into the meat. Soon, the surface of the mutton began to turn a faint golden color, and the meat itself oozed out transparent oil drops, and the tempting fragrance immediately drifted away.

The silent air is filled with a strange and attractive fragrance.

"Aowoo!"

A wolf cries came from the surrounding area, and Pei Min laughed and said, "This is not only a temptation to tempt us, but this wolf can't stand the temptation and protest."

After about half an hour, Lou Fan cut off a long tenderloin and handed it to Pei Min and said, "Duke, the best meat is left for you!"

Pei Min didn't want to draw out the long sword and divided the tenderloin into ten portions, each portion equally in size, and smiled and said, "You can't be more favorable than the other. In my Longyou Army, there is no specialization. They are all their own people. They share the blessings and are difficult to share... One person and one piece!"

As he said, he distributed the meat to Li Yide, Xia Shan, Wang Xiaobai, Pugu Huaien and others.

Even Lou Fan, He Zi and Belif got a piece.

He Zi, Bailiff and his team were almost the same as Pei Min, and their food was even worse than Pei Min and his party.

How could he be polite? He thanked him directly, snatched the meat and ate it voraciously.

Lou Fanzan said: "The Duke of the Kingdom is indeed extraordinary, no wonder he can be invincible."

"Where do you think!" Pei Min shook his head and said, "They entrust their lives, how can I treat them unfairly?"

Lou Fan was quite moved and said solemnly: "Based on this point, the achievements of the Duke of the State are determined to be above Huo Piqiu."

Pei Min knew that he meant that Huo Qubing was not sympathetic to the shortcomings of soldiers and did not respond. Huo Qubing was one of his idols. Even if he was not as perfect as Wei Qing, Yue Fei, Li Jing, and Xu Da and had flaws, it did not hinder his admiration and did not comment. Instead, he asked Lou Fan the purpose of coming here: "Brother Lou is famous in the Western Regions, and even in Longyou, he has a lot of knowledge. But he doesn't know what he wants to follow along the way?"

Lou Fan did not hide it, and said in detail about his grudges to Pei Min: "Lou acts differently from that Zhangniao. As long as Lou collects money from the caravan, he will ensure that the caravan is worry-free all the way. Zhangniao's methods are too extreme, which is equivalent to breaking apart. We have disputes and frictions, and have always had grudges. However, the situation of horse thieves in the Western Regions is like Wei, Shu and Wu in the Three Kingdoms. They both care about the existence of another person. They have not broken up and restrained each other, and they are still peaceful. Unexpectedly, Zhangniao was bewitched by the Turks and killed my brother Wei Bao. Wei Bao followed me at the age of thirteen. He was a veteran who started his business in Lao Lou, so he shattered his head to Zhangniao's bastard."

Speaking of this, his eyes turned red and said, "I swore that I must avenge Wei Zi, and cut off Zhang Niao's head with my own sacrifice. I seized the opportunity to destroy Zhang Niao's nest, but I didn't expect that Zhang Niao really only had bird galls and didn't want the old nest, and ran away quickly. When I got the news again, I realized that he had already let the Duke capture him. I vowed that he would try to do it no matter what. I followed the Duke all the way, without any malice. I just wanted to help the Duke at a critical moment, so that the Duke would owe him a kind of kindness so that he could avenge Wei Zi himself... I just didn't expect! The Duke's command has many talented people, not only good at fighting, but also so that he was so good at following the Duke, but he trapped himself in."

He himself is an expert who is good at tracking and anti-tracking, and he knows the difficulty of tracking in the desert.

They failed to replenish water in Moon Lake, and they had two more burdens. They needed to rush to travel as soon as possible and ignored the counter-tracking. Now they regret it because they were not enough.

Pei Min heard the reason, but he didn't know whether he should say Lou Fan was stupid or something. After all, he was a thief and the target of the imperial government arrested him. The heads of the three major horse thief leaders in the Western Regions were worth a lot of money.

It can be said that Lou Fan fell into Pei Min's hands today, and he thought about the overall situation of the Western Regions in the future, so he wanted to make a good relationship and did not care about Lou Fan. If it were someone else, he would have killed him and received merits and rewards.

Is it worth it to put yourself in for a dying person?

In Pei Min's opinion, it is not worth it.

But Pei Min has been in this era for six years and knows that he cannot consider the behavior of the ancients with the thinking of modern people.

Perhaps it is extremely stupid in modern people's eyes, but in the eyes of ancient people, it is very noble and worthy of everything for it.

Pei Min knew a similar story: it was about two scholars, who were very heroic and arrogant.

One day, one of them gathered together with a pot of wine, and one said, "It's a pity that there is wine but no meat!" Another said, "You and I have meat all over, how can we say there is no meat?"

Then the two of them sang to the wine, and you cut me with one knife, and I cut you with one knife, and you can eat and drink happily.

Next... there is no next!

Both of them died until they were eaten.

From the perspective of modern people, these two people are purely stupid, but in the eyes of ancient people, they are a kind of passion.

Lou Fan is also a character. In order to implement the friendship in his heart, he ventured into unfamiliar territory. This is indeed worthy of admiration.

Not only Pei Min, Li Yide and Xia Shan also threw a look of respect to Lou Fan.

The ancients mostly valued love and friendship. In addition to those sluts, the rest of the people were more or less respectful to the affectionate men.

So Pei Min said, "Well, Zhang Wen, I can directly sentence him to death. Whether to behead his head, cut his head in half or dismember him, it's up to you. I can't let you take him away directly, but I can let you kill him."

The vulture Zhang Wen is full of evil deeds, and keeping his life is almost like harming thousands of people. No matter what Lou Fan has, he must see Zhang Wen die in front of him and in Longyou with his own eyes.

Lou Fan looked at Pei Min with emotion and said, "Duke is serious about this?"

"Why should I lie to you?" Pei Min said with a smile: "Just give you a gift for a meeting! Although we have different officials, you are willing to release slaves and women, and avenge your brothers and are willing to take this risk. It is also a personal character and worth making friends."

Lou Fan stood up carefully and bowed, "Duke Xie understands Lou's intentions. Since the Duke is willing to condescend and make friends, he will give up the matter of the bet. As long as the Duke is useful in the future, he will obey the orders within his power. No matter how many things are, he will not postpone."

Pei Min got up and helped him, pulled him down, held the wine bowl high and said, "No need to be so restrained, you can't drink anymore. The sky is big and the earth is big, and drinking the most is the most."

Lou Fan, He Zi, Bailiff and others were excited. They thought the matter had failed, but they didn't want a turnaround.

As for not being able to wait for Zhang Wen to the tomb of Wei Bao in the Western Regions, there was a regret, but he knew that he could not force others to do so. He was happy in his heart and toasted Pei Min frequently.

Pei Min asked about the situation in the Western Regions.

Lou Fan and He Zi also knew everything. As for Belif, he was not good at Chinese language and kept eating barbecue.

From Lou Fan and He Zi's mouth, Pei Min also learned some of the situations in the Western Regions. It is true that the Western Regions are currently controlled by the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty only controls the four towns of Anxi: that is, the four places: Sailed Ye, Kucha, Khotan, and Shule. There are nine countries in the Western Regions, namely the so-called nine countries of Zhaowu, namely Kang State, An State, Cao State, Shi State, America, He State, Huoxun State, Fadi State, and Shi State!

These nine countries are local natives. They depend on the Tang Dynasty and follow the leader of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the loyalty of these countries to the Tang Dynasty changed with the strength of the Tang Dynasty and did not become part of the Tang Dynasty.

As for Xiao Bolu, Da Bolu, and Loss of Honey, it is even more true to protect the secrets or to submit to Tubo, and even more so in countries with great food.

On the surface, the Tang Dynasty controlled the Western Regions, but strictly speaking, this control had a certain amount of moisture.

It is still a long way to go before true complete control.

Pei Min's eyes shone brightly when he heard this. It was because of the long journey that we were able to ride on the battlefield. If we were invincible, what's the point of being a military official?

"You have heard of Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan!"

Pei Min recently accepted Wang Zhihuan, Pu Gu Huaien, and Li Bai as his apprentice. He couldn't help but have a little ambition and started to have Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan's idea.

Gao Xianzhi and Ge Shuhan are not inferior to Feng Changqing and Pugu Huai'en's existence.

Lou Fan said: "Gao Xianzhi's general is not old, he has unique skills and is very famous in Anxi."

Pei Min was a little regretful. Gao Xianzhi had become a person, and it was not easy for him to win over him.

"Where is Brother Shuhan!" Pei Minyu refused to give up.

Lou Fan shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. I don't know that there is such a person in the Western Regions."

Bailiff suddenly said, "I, I know he is a gambler in Kucha, and I have bet with him."

Pei Min also instantly remembered that Ge Shuhan in history was late for a long time. He had a good family background, but he was good at drinking and gambling, and had no prospects, and was no different from a waste. It was not until he was forty that he began to strive for success and became a general who was eye-catching.
