"When I heard that Lou Qingshan went to snatch Xu Wei's jade petals, I also suspected that you were the county lord of Hualan Country! Because I can't prove it, and I am worried that you don't want to return to the country, I plan to make some fuss on the jade petals, and use the subjects of your Hualan country to revolt and tear up the Dahua officers and soldiers, and my Jingyang country will profit from it. ”

"You dare to do it!" Xu Zhilan didn't have a good impression of the Orchid Cult, so he smiled and drank another glass.

"During the time I was being pursued by you, I lived in the widow's village in the Lingyun Mountains, which is the territory of your orchid vein Lan Coco. To be honest, I'm not optimistic about your so-called restoration of the country. Like Lan Keyi and Lan Maoqiong, they are mixed up to be little wives for others, and they rely on counterfeiting to revolt, which will not become the climate at all. Lan Keke took a pitiful thousand people to hide in the mountains, and it was even more difficult to become a climate. I don't know about the other two veins, but I don't think it's very good. Now that you have no way out, it is better to cooperate with me, and when my Iron Cavalry Empire destroys Dahua, I promise to give you a place to live in Hualan Country. ”

"You're a Khan?" Xu Zhilan glanced at Liu Mei'er with disdain.

"Not now, not in the future! But if you can help my starling to take the position of Khan, I can guarantee you the results you want. ”

"If you starlings can't sit in the position of Khan, then my efforts will be in vain, and I have to live in the grassland for generations, which is not cost-effective. Why don't you let me go back, when the spring flowers bloom and the grass grows and the warbler flies, let your starlings raise troops to attack Dahua, and we should cooperate inside and outside. Keqing and I took the opportunity to restore the country of Hualan; Your starling can also sit in the position of Khan with military merits. ”

If that's the case, it's a good idea, but who knows if what Xu Zhilan said is true? Recall carefully, Xu Zhilan smiled after being arrested, and looked confident, when he was in Lingyun Pass, Xu Zhilan was also showing favor to General Sun, intending to buy people's hearts, but Liu Meier didn't dare to gamble. Moreover, if you want to go back now, you have to find a better reason. If you don't take any benefits, you can let Xu Zhilan go, who will believe it? Thousands of troops guarded, pretending to let Xu Zhilan escape, where did the soldiers of Jingyang put their faces?

Liu Mei'er was suspicious, and after eating with Xu Zhilan, she ordered someone to escort Lan Keqing to the tent room, and used Xu Zhilan's words to set Lan Keqing, although the truth she came to was different from what Xu Zhilan said, but it was not the same, that is to say, Xu Zhilan did not tell a lie.

After putting Lan Keqing back, Liu Mei'er called Xiang'er and Qin'er in to talk again, and the result was the same.

That night, Liu Mei'er untied Lan Keqing's master and servant, and there was a gesture of goodwill. Of course, after being surrounded by iron cavalry officers, it is impossible for Lan Keqing to kill people and rob horses and escape, not to mention running away with Xu Zhilan, who does not know martial arts?

The next day, Xu Zhilan and Liu Mei'er rode forward side by side, Lan Keqing knew Xu Zhilan's intentions, and followed quietly with Xiang'er and Qin'er.

The endless snow scene is really beautiful and refreshing!

In the evening, when Liu Meier entertained Xu Zhilan and the four of them for dinner, General Gilgrad was afraid that Lan Keqing's master and servant would hurt people, so he applied to come in to accompany him, but Liu Meier refused. Liu Mei'er was not completely relieved, but she was confident that she could rush out of the tent when Lan Keqing and the others were in trouble.

"Xu Zhilan, in what way do you think leaving Jingyang Country will help you the most?" Liu Mei'er looked at Xu Zhilan.

"Of course, capture your father Khan and hand it over to the Dahua Empire!" Xu Zhilan told the truth, which startled Lan Keqing and the others.

"How dare you say it! My father Khan is standing in front of you, without the help of the three Lan county lords, you can't help my father Khan! Liu Mei'er smiled.

Lan Keqing and the three of them despised in their hearts, secretly thinking that the Iron Horse Khan could take over Xu Zhilan and burn high incense without dying with one palm.

"You're so beautiful!" After complimenting, Xu Zhilan spread his hands and said with a smile: "Besides, if you let me go now, I can't find a reason to explain to Xu Zhao?" Simply, happily go back to the royal capital with you, enjoy the snowy scenery of the grassland, and see how much money Xu Zhaoken uses to redeem me. ”

"What if, as you analyzed, Xu Zhao felt that you had no use value, and instead of ransom to ransom you, he directly sent troops to attack my Jingyang Kingdom?"

"Then I will help your starling sit in the position of Khan, and do my best to help your starling complete the hegemony! But I need you starling to swear to the god of the grassland, and after the matter is completed, the territory near the Lingyun Mountain Range will be assigned to me to restore the country of Hualan! ”

"Aren't you thinking about marrying my starling?" Liu Mei'er stared into Xu Zhilan's eyes.

"Not only me, but even Lan Keqing, Xiang'er, and Qin'er will not marry you as a warrior of Jingyang Kingdom, our roots are in Hualan Country, in the Lingyun Mountains! If it is not beneficial to my Hualan Country, we would rather die than live in your Jingyang Country! ”

Xu Zhilan said this resolutely, and Lan Keqing and the three of them nodded heavily in serious agreement.

"I can see that you have great ambitions in your chest, if one day my Hualan Kingdom is restored, I hope you will come to my Hualan Country as an official!" Xu Zhilan added with a smile.

At the end of the morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, Lingyun Border Pass sent an urgent express to report that Xu Zhilan had been arrested.

The ministers were in an uproar, Xu Zhao stood up in shock, and was dumbfounded for a few seconds before he slapped his hands heavily on the dragon case, angry and anxious, eyes

Tears flowed out, and a tone of hatred for iron is not steel: "Aren't you giving your father a problem?" ”

"That's it, the son of a daughter doesn't sit in the ......hall," Princess Ziyang still wanted to complain a few words, but when she saw her father's almost fiery eyes, she hurriedly swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

"Father, the top priority should be to redeem the county lord of Yangtao. But Jingyang doesn't mention the conditions, what can I do about it? Princess Jinyang's tone was full of concern, and only God knows how sincere she is.

Xu Zhao's eyes swept over the ministers and asked, "What is the best plan for Zhong Aiqing?" ”

Jingyang Guo didn't make any requests, there is a good strategy for fart, what can be discussed now is what is the bottom line of the emperor's exchange of Xu Zhilan?

Princess Jinyang said from the perspective of righteousness that it is imperative to redeem Xu Zhilan, but after the redemption, she must be punished, because the cause is that Xu Zhilan broke away from the protective circle without permission! If Jingyangguo wants to exchange Xu Zhilan for land, she thinks that the biggest bottom line is to exchange Xu Zhilan with the same area of land as Yangtao County; If the other party asks for money, it will be based on the income of Yangtao County for 10 years.

At this point, everyone agrees with Princess Jinyang's statement. It is equivalent to taking the private property of Xu Zhilan to redeem Xu Zhilan without causing losses to the treasury!

After the bottom line of the ransom is set, then we will discuss who to send to Jingyang Kingdom?

The people recommended by Princess Jinyang and Princess Ziyang, Xu Zhao didn't dare to use them, for fear that the two daughters would play some tricks and deliberately talk about it, so he chose to go to the sons of the Chen and Zhao families, who were good friends with Xu Zhilan.
