"Newspaper~"

"Qi to the lord, the captain ordered his subordinates to report to the lord, and the nine elders of the three mountains came with him, but he did not indicate whether he accepted the lord's appeasement."

"Huh?"

Gongsun Du was slightly stunned at first when he heard this, and then after a little thought, he understood that Sanshan should have intended to accept the appeasement, but it may be a conditional appeasement, and Yang Yi could not make the decision to negotiate and had to bring someone over.

As for the Nine Great Elders, Gongsun Du didn't know if there were only the Nine Great Elders, or the Nine Great Elders with the highest right to speak.

But this is nothing, people are willing to come, which is already a lot of sincerity.

In this regard, Gongsun Du thought about whether to agree to the other party's conditions to a certain extent. However, after thinking about it, Gongsun Du still decided not to do this, because people do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, and if they agree to the three mountains, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people of Dongyu and the Yu family, and plant the seeds of hatred.

Not advisable!

The most important thing at the moment is to maintain stability, even if it is not to take the three mountains under his control.

After the decision, Gongsun Du had no intention of going out of the city to greet him in person, and sent Cheng Pu to meet him at the city gate, while he greeted him at the gate of the barracks.

In this way, it seems that people attach great importance to others, but it will not be too much, which makes people look down on them.

However, this is already very remarkable in the eyes of Huang Qing and others, in their opinion, with the ability of the lord, they can wait for others to come to see them with peace of mind, so there is no need to greet them in person. It seems that this is really the case, but they ignore that Gongsun Du is only the Taishou of Liaodong, and nominally he still belongs to the imperial court, but he has temporarily cut off contact, and he can't change people if he wants to.

The distance of several miles is really not far away, and not long after Gongsun Du finished arranging, he got the news that Yang Yi and the others had entered the city, and at the same time, he also knew that the nine elders who came with him were not dissatisfied, which made Gongsun Du feel much more at ease about the next meeting.

This is a small temptation of Gongsun Du, if the other party is dissatisfied, there will be a lot of trouble in the next exchange.

"Good work, right! Thank you for your hard work! ”

Gongsun Du first praised Yang Yi and his fellow soldiers, and then said to the unfamiliar faces in the team: "Everyone, I am ashamed to be ashamed, please forgive me!" ”

The man with gray hair smiled indifferently and replied loudly: "Lord Gongsun is serious, it is really an honor for me to have Lord Gongsun personally wait, how can I have other ideas." If that's the case, the old decay is really shameless! ”

Gongsun Du's face was solemn when he heard this, and he looked seriously at this old man with gray hair and loud voice, and glanced at the other people who were traveling with him, and saw that they were all the same and honored, and immediately understood that this was not a joke.

Gongsun Du was relieved and said, "Everyone, come with so-and-so!" ”

After speaking, they staggered half a step, only half a step ahead of the gray-haired old man, and walked inward together.

The other people who came with them smiled when they saw this. No matter what they originally thought and what their plans were, they were so respected by Gongsun Du that they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

When you lick your face and go to the door, but people respond with a cold face, even if you still lick your face, there will be some pimples in your heart!

When they came to the room vacated in the barracks for the meeting, Gongsun Dugao sat on the head, and Cheng Pu and other subordinates sat on the left and right sides with the people from Sanshan.

After a little greeting, Yang Yi introduced the people from the three mountains.

"This is the mountain elder of the big cottage!"

"This is Elder Qing of Qingshui Village!"

"This is the water elder of Linshui Village!"

"This is Elder Shi of the Giant Stone Village!"

"This is the snake elder of the Great Snake Village!"

Yang Yi first introduced the five people sitting in the middle. Every time Yang Yi introduced someone, he would get up and give up.

Then Yang Yi's face became quite serious, and Gongsun Du knew that the next step should be the main event, and his face became more and more solemn.

"This is the Fourth Elder of the Prison Cottage!"

"This is the third elder of Tu Shanzhai!"

"This is the second elder of Donghai Village!"

"The last one!" Yang Yi looked at the gray-haired old man who had almost walked with Gongsun Du before and said, "He is the Great Elder of the Three Mountains, and he has a pivotal position in the Three Mountains!" ”

Gongsun Du instantly understood that the five elders before should be ordinary elders among the three mountains, but they have a good prestige, and may become five, six, seven, eighty, and nine elders, and the four behind are the elders of the three mountains, with extremely high prestige and the right to speak. Especially the last Great Elder, if the Three Mountains are a city, then he is the county commander and has great rights.

However, the other two people sitting in the last seat Yang Yi did not introduce, although Gongsun Du was puzzled, but he didn't ask much.

"Welcome!" Gongsun Du got up and said, "Originally, it stands to reason that in addition to food at this time, there should be good wine, but this is in the barracks, and it is forbidden to drink alcohol, please forgive me!" ”

"Lord Gongsun is polite!" The Great Elder's loud voice sounded, and there was not the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, just a little doubt.

"The Great Elder is gracious!" Gongsun Du knew why, but did not explain immediately, but said: "But there is no wine, and our tea in Liaodong is also good, so let a certain replace the wine with tea, and give a glass to the elders and the two little brothers." ”

"Everyone, please!"

The two little brothers are the two who were not introduced by Yang Yi before, and I don't know if they don't know who they are.

"Lord Xie Gongsun!"

"Please!"

Other people in Sanshan drink tea like cows chewing peonies, and swallow them neatly in one bite. Only the Great Elder took two sips, and his face was full of intoxication.

"The Great Elder's family must have an extraordinary background!"

According to the ancient books he has read in the past few days, Gongsun Du knew that there was also tea in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it was not boiled tea at this time, with different spices, but pure boiling tea, boiling water, and putting in fresh tea leaves. And according to records, tea is not to be drunk unless it is illustrious and noble.

"This tea is astringent and sweet, not to mention the aftertaste, it makes people feel good for a while, and it deserves to be the best!" The Great Elder didn't linger for too long, looked at Gongsun Du and said curiously, "It's just, why is the color of this tea yellow?" ”

What is the color of fresh tea directly boiled, Gongsun Du has not tried it, but he thinks that it is either green or brown. Gongsun Du used to be a person who had cooked other grasses, and he was a knowledgeable person.

Haha, just kidding!

"The Great Elder has praised it!" Gongsun Du smiled faintly and said, "This is a unique roasted tea in Liaodong, if the Great Elder and you like it, you can send some to each person, and ensure that you can drink it when you want to." ”

"Haha!" The Great Elder laughed and said, "In this way, the old man will accept it with shame." ”

The rest of the people also agreed, and then Gongsun Du told them that the tea only needed to be put in a bowl and brewed with boiling water. The crowd was amazed and amazed!

After the people of Sanshan digested the news, Gongsun Du explained why they met in the military camp.

"It's rude to receive you directly in the barracks, but there are other reasons for this, and I ask you to listen carefully to an explanation."

The Great Elder's face turned pale when he heard this, but he did not interrupt Gongsun Du's words.

"Except for Xiangping, a certain person will stay in the barracks in other places, and even if it is Xiangping, the time spent in the county guard and the barracks is almost half."

"In addition, now that Liaodong is facing foreign races, there is no reason to be careless."

"I see! Gongsun's move is admirable! ”

The Great Elder first exclaimed, and then asked, "I wonder what's going on with this alien race?" ”

The line of the Great Elder is from an extraordinary background as Gongsun Du expected, and some records of the migration before this have been passed down through word of mouth to the present. Among them was the barbarian in the north at that time - ghosts!

Gongsun Du has also vaguely seen this record in ancient books, but there are too few of them, and he knows that it is called a ghost party, and more of them are not at all.

However, whether it is a ghost or a ghost, Gongsun Du and the Great Elder clearly understand that this is an outsider and an enemy!

Now that the ghost party is gone, Xianbei is still the same, an outsider, an enemy party.
