Li Ye repeatedly confirmed, and was finally convinced that the gunpowder had not been leaked and that the other party was telling the truth. Kundushi did not believe anyone at all. Even his close guards had to be divided into three, each of whom only had one part. Li Ye then interrogated him again.
After confirming the facts, he immediately ordered his men to execute the three guards.
But there is another person who knows the secret of gunpowder, and that is Kundu Shi. He not only knows the secret of gunpowder, but also knows the secret of Qiaoling. This person can no longer stay in the world no matter what.
Kundushi was taken to the military camp by the Tang army. His head was covered with a black cloth bag, his hands were tied behind his back, and he sat on a stool.
Li Ye stared at him for a moment and ordered: "Untie his headband!"
The soldier untied Kundushi's head bag, revealing a pale face. Although he was nearly middle-aged, he still looked extremely handsome, and his appearance was even more beautiful than that of a woman.
Kundu Shi took a few deep breaths of air and then noticed the Tang Army general in front of him.
"Damn son of a bitch!"
Kundushi gritted his teeth and cursed. Of course he was not scolding Li Ye, but scolding his brother Chebishi for handing himself over to the Tang army.
"Where did you hide the gunpowder content in the treasure book? Hand it over and I won't kill you!"
A trace of pride appeared on Kundu Shi's face, "You, like the big cannibals, are trying every possible means to get the gunpowder formula. Will I let you guys find it? You are also a smart person. You should know where the safest place is?"
Li Ye nodded. Just as he had guessed, Kundushi must have destroyed the gunpowder records because he was so defensive about others, and then remembered them in his mind. In this way, neither Dashi nor the Tang Dynasty would dare to kill him easily.
The safest place he said was his mind.
After walking a few steps, Li Ye said coldly: "Shi is your son, right?"
Kundu Shi suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Li Ye: "Who are you? What happened to my son?"
"Your son killed Master Mingsong, you should know him!"
"How is my son?" Kundushi was anxious and panicked. He couldn't help but roar.
Li Ye made a scratching motion on his neck and said calmly: "He was lucky. I didn't cut off his head and left him with a whole body!"
"You bastard! You devil!"
Kundu Shi jumped up and was about to rush towards Li Ye, but he was held down by the soldiers. He was trapped in a chair with a rope and his feet were tied to death. Kundu Shi stared at Li Ye with eyes that were so vicious that he wanted to take a bite.
Swallow him.
Kundu Shi had two sons and three daughters. The second son Shi Jie was in charge of the king's power when he went to conquer the Khan. However, he was shot dead by random arrows when Chebi Shi seized the throne. In the Tang Dynasty, the eldest son Shi Jie
They are his only living son and the only hope for his descendants.
Unexpectedly, the eldest son was also killed by the person in front of him. At this moment, Kundushi was extremely desperate and angry.
Li Ye waved his hand and told the soldiers to retreat. He walked slowly to Kundushi and said coldly: "Death is imminent, so I will let you die clearly! I am the descendant of Feilong, and I don't need any gunpowder at all.
formula!"
"No wonder."
Kundu Shi closed his eyes in pain, and after a while, he said with a sinister look on his face: "Do you know why I betrayed him? That old monster didn't have any good intentions when he accepted me as his disciple. He has the good qualities of Long Yang, and since that afternoon
, I have been waiting for the opportunity to kill him all the time, but unfortunately God failed and he actually escaped from Qiaoling."
Only then did Li Ye understand why Feilong accepted a foreign prince as his disciple and doted on him so much. It turned out that it was not a good thing for a man to be too handsome.
Kundushi suddenly stared at Li Ye again, with a face full of shock and said: "How can you be his descendant? Are you the same as him?"
Li Ye suddenly reached out and pinched Kundushi's cheek. The pain made Kundushi open his mouth. Li Ye took out a small red bottle from his arms, wiped off the cork with his fingers, and poured a bottle of poisonous wine directly into it.
into the mouth of Kundushi.
Li Ye let him go, and Kundushi coughed desperately, trying to vomit out the poisonous wine, but it had no effect at all.
"You want to poison me to silence me!" Kundushi stared at Li Ye fiercely.
"You know too much!"
Kundushi suddenly laughed hysterically, "The old monster told me in the middle of the night that he was actually reincarnated eight hundred years later. He was a Taoist priest from the Yuan Dynasty. He wanted to kill the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and take away the woman.
,Hahaha!"
His laughter suddenly stopped, and an expression of extreme pain appeared on his face. He and his chair rolled to the ground. He curled up in pain, and his whole face was deformed. The poison in his body took effect.
Li Ye looked at him coldly, waiting for him to die.
After a while, Kundushi stopped struggling and said with a weak breath: "I know all the secrets of Feilong. I have told many people. Chebishi is my brother. We talk about everything. I have told all these secrets."
He and Chebishi's son also know."
He breathed out more and took in less air. Finally, he was speechless and took his last breath.
Li Ye shook his head. This Shi Kun was in the end and wanted to kill Che Bi Shi with his own hands.
Of course, Li Ye would not believe it. How could he tell his brother such a thing? If he had told it, it would not be his turn to sit on the throne. This secret would only rot in his stomach.
Li Ye ordered people to cut off Kundu Shi's head and soak his head in potion to preserve it. However, Li Ye was still worried. He ordered soldiers to search the secret room in Kundu Shi's bedroom and interrogated Kundu Shi again.
The confidant palace maid made sure that there was no secret room in Kundushi, so she settled the case.
Although Kundu Stone strictly guarded the secret of gunpowder for its own benefit, it still kept the secret of gunpowder from spreading to some extent.
As for the treasure book, as long as there is no record of gunpowder, it can be preserved. If the cannibal took away the copy of the military volume, it should be vigorously promoted in the Tang Dynasty.
Li Ye found Chebi Shi again and said to him: "Shuai Gao originally planned to come to Shi Guo to question the crime in person, but he was persuaded by Master Padmasambhava. However, he had two explanations for me. First, take the Kundu Stone."
Take it away, Kundushi has committed suicide out of fear of crime, I will take away his head, and his personal property, I will take it away too!"
Why did Kundushi commit suicide out of fear of crime? Chebishi did not dare to say more and could only nod in agreement, "His personal property has been seized and has not been opened. Except for the land, the general can take away everything."
"The second one is more important, which is the silver treasury of the Shi Kingdom. Commander Gao pointed out that he wants the silver treasury!"
Chebi Shi's face turned pale and he couldn't say a word. Li Ye smiled and said: "I don't know much about it. What is a bank? Isn't it a national treasury?"
Chebishi sighed and said: "Shiguo is the largest silver-producing country in the Hezhong area, producing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year. The reason why Dashi gave Kundushi so many promises is because he took a fancy to the silver mines in Shiguo.
Sogdian merchants brought a large amount of silver to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for silk and porcelain, all of which were silver produced in our country. We kept one million taels of silver to be used in times of crisis, so it was called the silver treasury. Gao Shuai said:
it."
Li Ye suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is the silver mine?"
"Near Talas City, there are three large silver mines there, so Talas City is also called the City of Silver."
Li Ye suddenly realized why the Tang Army and the Dashi Army broke out in a fierce battle in Talas City. It turned out to be to compete for the silver mines of the Shi Kingdom. Of course, the essence of the whole war was still the battle between the Dashi and the Tang Dynasty over the river, but Gao Xianzhi did not
Realizing this, he paid more attention to the silver mines in Shiguo. He sent troops to Talas to compete for the silver mines in Shiguo.
Why is there so much gold in Bukhanna? It should be self-produced gold. The Shi Kingdom attacked Bukhanna just to plunder Bukhanna's gold.
Li Ye was silent for a moment and said: "Money is an external possession, and it is the best choice for the Stone Kingdom to lose money and avoid disasters. Gao Shuai has already destroyed Ju Zhanti and sent troops to plunder the whole city. If he leads a large army to the Stone Kingdom, I am afraid that the entire Stone Kingdom will be destroyed."
All countries will be worried about massacre and destruction of the country."
The Chebi Stone is also connected, and the silver bank is gone. It can be mined again, but if all the people in the Stone Kingdom are massacred, there will be nothing left.
He nodded, "Okay! I'll leave the bank to General Li!"
[The war between the Tang Dynasty and Arabia broke out in the Shi Kingdom and was indeed related to the silver mines. Tuozhi City, the royal city of Shi, is today Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. The Lashkerek silver mine in the north of it had been mined before the Tang Dynasty. It was in the middle of the river at that time.
The largest silver mine in the region also produces gold.
Gao Xianzhi massacred the Shi Kingdom in order to plunder the country's silver and gold. In addition, the Anxi Tang Army also mined gold and silver mines near Suiye City. Throughout the Middle Ages, Central Asia was known as the Silver Empire. The rise of the Silk Road was also closely related to Sogdia.
It is related to the abundance of silver in various countries.]
