Looking at the fat man dressed as a soldier in front of him, Cheng bit his golden eyebrows and smiled, "General Liu, your ability to dress up in disguise is not bad!" If it weren't for Lao Tzu's carefulness, I was afraid that my grandson would escape again! You see, what should come will still come, I let you escape last time in Shizihe, and this time I finally caught you! Without further ado, how much silver are you going to give to redeem yourself? ”

Liu Changgong, who was kneeling on the ground and closing his eyes and waiting for death, opened his eyes in disbelief: "You don't kill me?" ”

"Kill you? What did Grandpa kill you for? We have no grievances in the past, and we have no hatred in the near future, but since you have fallen into the hands of grandpa, you have to pay some hard money, otherwise grandpa will not work in vain? Don't worry, grandpa is what he says, as long as he receives your money, he will release him immediately! ”

Liu Changgong immediately became excited, he was caught by Cheng Yanjin, and he was hesitating whether to ignore the children who were still in Luoyang City, and simply surrender to the Wagang Army, and save his own life first. Reading a book at zero o'clock and now hearing that Cheng Yanjin intends to let him go, he was overjoyed, and it is hard to say if he wants money, although he has no ability to fight, but his ability to make money is a must. Anyway, the money and wealth are outside the body, and they are not brought in life, and they are not brought in death. As long as life is still alive, the money for this redemption will be earned back in a few days.

At that moment, Liu Changgong said generously: "The general is so righteous, how can he be stingy below?" How about giving the general a million taels of silver next? Cheng Yanjin and several guards around him suddenly opened their mouths wide, *** is not ordinary rich! One million taels said casually, Cheng Yanjin originally thought that he would be satisfied if he could get hundreds of thousands of taels, but now it seems that he still underestimated the richness of the people of Dongdu! Could it be that all the officials in the imperial court are as rich as this guy?

But as soon as this guy opened his mouth, it was clear that there was still room for bargaining. As soon as the next bite of gold and gold opened, the price doubled, "No!" How is one million taels enough? At least two million taels! ”

"Okay! Just two million taels, where is the general going to get the money? Cheng Biting Jin's intestines are all green, *** is so happy, obviously not ordinary rich, these two million taels are still less. It's just that the words have been spoken, and it's too late to change his words, Cheng Yanjin can't help it, so he said angrily, "Just in Luoyang City!" Lao Tzu's people will go to your house in person! As long as you receive silver taels there, Lao Tzu will let you go here! ”

Since he knew that the Wagang army was going to attack the eastern capital, the imperial court searched for them in the city, and cut off the heads of the spies and spies who were investigated. Liu Changgong originally thought that the current Luoyang City was as clean as his own main house, but listening to the meaning of Cheng Biting Jin's words, he not only arranged for manpower in Luoyang, but also a lot of them, otherwise how could he take away the two million taels of silver?

Seeing Liu Changgong hesitating there, Cheng Yanjin urged angrily, "You should hurry up, grandpa risked killing your head and hid you, and after a long time, after Wei Gong cleaned up the battlefield, he found that there was a person like you missing, and when the time came to search privately, you just paid the money, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!" ”

Liu Changgong woke up at this time, quickly spread out his pen and ink, wrote a handwritten letter, and asked Cheng Yanjin's people to take it to his house to withdraw money. Waiting for Liu Changgong to be escorted down, a person walked out of the screen behind Cheng Yanjin, and before the person walked in front of Cheng Yanjin, the voice came first: "The two million taels of silver are three or seven open, you take thirty percent, and the rest are divided equally!" ”

"No way!" Looking at Li Mi who was approaching, Cheng Biting Jin was filled with indignation, "This rich man was brought back by me desperately, if you don't say a word, you will open three or seven, which is too much, at least two and one will be added to five, I will take half of it, and you will share the rest!" ”

"Four-six, it can't be more, everyone has a share in this battle, because the method is what you came up with, so you are asked to take forty percent, but you take too much, and other people are not easy to explain! Don't forget, if you are surrounded by a large group, how can you easily catch him? Besides, you have the entire Qingzhou illicit salt trafficking in your hands, can you still have less money at home? Why do you pretend to be poor with me? ”

Looking at Li Mi, who was not giving an inch, Cheng Biting Jin pondered for a while, and had to grit his teeth and agree, "Okay, four six is four six, but the city is full of people from my side, you have to pay some errand money!" ”

Li Mi nodded helplessly and agreed, if it weren't for Cheng Yanjin's subordinates who took the money in the city, where would he give him as much as forty percent? Although the idea of kidnapping and ransom was thought up by Cheng Biting Jin, and the wicked man was also done by him, Li Mi originally only planned to give him a maximum of 30%, just because there were no spies from the Wagang Army in Luoyang City, he shared Cheng Biting Jin Yicheng for nothing, and Li Mi was not very happy in his heart!

Li Mi was just about to walk out of the camp tent, and Cheng Yanjin next to him drilled out his head again, "Gong Wei, otherwise, I will release Liu Changgong in front of me, and you will take the men and horses to follow behind and then catch him back?" And then we're knocking him hard? ”

Li Mi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, if he really wanted to do that, he was afraid that the reputation of the Wagang Army would immediately become a stone in the thatched house, and it would stink, it was this time to blackmail Liu Changgong, Li Mi was afraid of ruining his reputation, so he didn't show his face, but let Cheng Yanjin be responsible. Therefore, for Cheng Biting Jin's ridiculous proposal, Li Mi only vaguely said a few words and did not agree.

Within two days, the ransom money promised by Liu Changgong was handed over to Cheng Yanjin's people. Although some of them were made up with gold bars and jewelry, this also made Cheng Yanjin and others understand the richness of this guy. According to Liu Changgong, his property is only at a medium level in the imperial court, and there are people who are richer than him. Hearing this, Cheng Biting Jin was itching for a while, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead his troops into the city and peel off all those rich guys.

Since he received the money, he had to be trustworthy, so through a relatively hidden channel, Liu Changgong was let back. Before leaving, Cheng Yanjin was indignant in his heart, so he secretly instructed several cronies who were guarding Liu Changgong, and asked them to search Liu Changgong up and down, inside and out, and intercept all the valuable things. Seeing that Liu Changgong was looted, Cheng Yanjin's depressed mood was somewhat relieved.

Duan Da and Liu Changgong's 70,000 troops were defeated under the noses of the Luoyang court, and even the two small teams of the so-called invincible Yulin army were all wiped out. The Wagang army besieged the eastern capital, waiting for the defenders in the city to run out of ammunition and food and collapse on their own.

Just when the two sides were at a stand, Cheng Yanjin took the 30,000 horses under his hand, and took the silver taels obtained from Liu Changgong and embarked on the journey back to the Tiger Prison Pass. This tiger prison is a golden rooster that lays eggs in Cheng Biting Jin's hands, Li Miming said that he hinted several times, and Cheng Biting Jin just didn't let go. Li Mi was helpless about this.

Tiger Prison Pass, also known as Bishui Pass, is known as Tiger Prison because it is rumored that King Mu of Zhou once kept the fierce tiger in captivity here. Tiger Prison Pass is connected with Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, the mountains are staggered, and only a deep valley in the southwest leads to Luoyang. It's a natural hazard of its own. There is a lot of husband when the pass, and the trend of ten thousand people is not open, and it is a place where soldiers of all generations must fight.

As the eastern gateway and important pass of Luoyang, I don't know how many business travelers and hawkers pass through the Tiger Prison Pass every day. Since Cheng Yanjin took over the Tiger Prison Pass from Pei Renji with his people, the huge flow of people every day made Cheng Yanjin overjoyed. So, he ordered his soldiers to guard the area around the Tiger Prison Pass, and then set up checkpoints on the official road and began to collect money for buying roads.

After a few days, the money collected made Cheng Biting Jin a little surprised, and today there is a big chaos, but the merchants who go south and north have not decreased, and the dedication of these merchants to money is really admirable. For these people who want money and don't want to die, where will Cheng Yanjin be polite.

It was precisely because he knew that Cheng Biting Jin was scraping the ground in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the red-eyed Li Mi wanted to replace him, but Cheng Biting Jin's men and horses did not leave, and Li Mi had no choice, he couldn't order his men to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, right?

It was the last time Li Mi ordered Cheng Yanjin to take all the men and horses stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass to Xingluocang to meet, Cheng Yanjin did not listen, and only brought 30,000 horses, while the remaining nearly 60,000 people stayed in the Tiger Prison Pass to watch their homes. In order to prevent Li Mi's men and horses from taking advantage of the situation, they robbed the cornucopia that Cheng Yanjin Hao did not agree to get.

Within a few days of leaving Xingluocang, Li Mi, who was sitting in Xingluocang, repeatedly sent people to Hugao Pass to invite Cheng Yanjin, hoping that his men and horses could train with the Wagang army, but every time he didn't see Cheng Yanjin, he was stopped by Qin Qiong, another commander of the inner army hussars. The excuse is the same every time, it is the reason that Cheng Biting Jin is in retreat to impact the higher realm of martial arts, and he Qin Qiong can't be the master, and he sent Li Mi's envoy back.

Li Mi was also helpless about the reason given by Qin Qiong. Although everyone knows that Cheng Biting Jin has always been very obedient, especially this time, he didn't move his nest after occupying the good place of Tiger Prison. Therefore, Li Mi wanted to take the opportunity to reorganize Cheng Yanjin's descendants and make him a nominal leader. However, Cheng Yanjin didn't give Li Mi a chance at all, making Li Mi so angry that he couldn't eat for several days.

Li Mi thought that Cheng Bitingjin's retreat and cultivation was just an excuse, but no matter how powerful he was, he would never have thought that at the critical juncture when the situation of the Wagang Army was very good, and he was preparing to attack Luoyang and claim the king's hegemony, Cheng Biting Jin was not in the Tiger Prison Pass at all, but ran to Jinyang, a thousand miles away.

Some time ago, Cheng Biting King Kong returned to the Tiger Prison Pass, and that night, Hou Junji, who was supposed to stay by Li Shimin's side, quietly came to the door and brought Li Shimin's message to Cheng Biting Jin, saying that he had something important to ask him for help, hoping that Cheng Biting Jin could go to Jinyang and his party. Because of Hou Junji's urging, Cheng Yanjin quietly left the Tiger Prison Pass with a part of his men and horses that night and went to Bingzhou.
