Chapter 273: Greed for Money
In diplomacy, how to treat the envoy is how to treat the country behind the envoy. If the country is strong, the envoy will have the confidence to speak; If the state is weak, the envoy will not be seen in the world.
Yue was defeated by Wu and became a vassal state of Wu, and there was not a single soldier in the country. In such a country, even the lower-level officers of the Qi State like Yu Fu did not take the envoy seriously.
Therefore, when Ji Ni revealed his identity as the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, Yu Fu was unmoved, and still ordered the arrest; Ji Ni and the two beauties, along with the jewels in the carriage, were also taken captive.
It has been more than 10 years since the defeat of the Vietnamese army, and during this period there has been basically no diplomacy, and the disputes between the countries can neither be intervened nor intervened. I won't be wronged. Therefore, there are no festivals in the Yue and Lu countries.
What caused the husband to attack Ji Ni was that the husband was seduced by two beautiful women. The first time he saw Kui Huan and Li Ji, he was flustered and short of breath, and his evil heart became angry, even if he snatched the two beauties and treasures for his own enjoyment, there would be no consequences. Yue Guo has no ability to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt.
Ji Ni also pretended to argue: "General Yufu, the two countries will not fight each other. We don't have any festivals in Yue and Lu, why are you arresting us? Aren't you afraid of the world's jokes when you do this? β
How could the husband listen to these truths? He decided that it was okay to do this, and Yue Guo couldn't do anything to him. And in this wild land, although he only has 3,000 men and horses in his hands, he is the head snake of the land. made him unhappy, he "clicked" the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, threw the corpse into the wilderness, and died without proof, which is not a big deal.
"Don't talk nonsense, I suspect you're a human trafficker, maybe a spy," he said. When I find out, you'll be fine, so I'll let you go. Don't yell anymore, slap your mouth again! β
Anyway, the purpose has been achieved, the people and jewelry have been snatched by the husband, and Ji Ni shouted that he was just making a show. Since you are not allowed to say it, then you don't say it, and if you are slapped a few times by the soldiers, there is nowhere to redress your grievances, then it is not cost-effective.
The barracks of three thousand people, the scale is not very large. Ji Ni was locked up in an empty room in the northeast corner of the barracks. Outside, a soldier walked around with a spear, and he was guarding him.
What will the husband do with him? This butcher-like man in the market, there is no rule in his heart, and if he wants to be "clicked" by him, then he will not die unjustly?
It is impossible to expect the husband to let him go easily. Then try to escape on your own. And only by escaping quickly can he run to the country of Yi to burn the fire, so that the country of Yi can send troops to destroy the husband. in order to alarm the Lu State to send troops to deal with the Yi State. Then the State of Qi sent troops to deal with the State of Lu, and the State of Lu asked the State of Wu for help, so that King Wu's hegemonic ambitions could be vented. Send troops to war. Wu and Qi fought, and the first step of Fan Li's plan was completed.
So, the most important thing now is to get away as soon as possible.
Ji Ni can be named a doctor, of course, he has a set of skills, whether it is fighting spirit and courage, and a small officer like He Fu is not at the same level.
But now he's locked up. I don't have a chance to fight with the husband, I can't talk about fighting bravely, I can't talk to the husband, and I can't fight. The only one who could speak was the soldier who was guarding him outside.
That's it. He's going to find a way to get the creep to let him out.
Ji Ni pulled the door with his hand, and the door was locked from the outside. This door can't stop Ji Ni yet. Although he can kill this soldier in an instant, if he doesn't know that when the soldier shouts, it will attract more soldiers, and then it will be difficult to leave safely.
You can't force it.
As he spoke, it was already dark. There was a sound of talking outside.
"You go to dinner, I'll leave it here."
"I'll change you in two hours, what are you?"
"Dinner for the unfortunate bastard."
"Give him something to eat!" Forget it, and we have to endure hardships and stand guard. β
"That's the business of being an official. There is no injustice against us, and we should not abuse others. β
At the beginning, the soldier left, a small window in the door opened, and a piece of cake rested on a bowl of vegetables and brought in: "Sir, it's time to eat." "This soldier is quite polite.
Ji Ni took the meal and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, brother." You are a good person, God will bless you. β
The soldier's "hehe" smiled: "The little mouth is weird and sweet." β
It seems that this soldier is not the kind of dirty and bad. Ji Ni groped around on his body while eating, and suddenly laughed silently. He touched something.
Just now outside the restaurant, taking advantage of the chaotic time when the soldiers were arresting people and driving cars. Ji Ni used his skillful hand to grab a handful of jewels and stuff them on his body. Now I took it out and looked at the glimmer of light outside, and it was a string of pearls and a few pieces of silver.
After eating, Ji Ni handed the bowl out of the window hole and said, "Thank you, brother, you are a good person, give me food, I want to thank you." There is a little gift here that is not a tribute, please accept it. β
As he spoke, he handed out a piece of silver.
When the soldier saw it, he knew that it was a good thing, and he had been paid as a soldier for many years, but he didn't earn this piece of silver. Hurriedly accepted: "Thank you, sir." β
Ji Ni handed out another piece of silver: "Brother, just now I was thanking you for bringing me food to eat, what about this?" I want you to talk to me, I'm suffocating here. β
Another piece of silver! Get rich! The soldier hurriedly accepted it and said, "My lord, I can't open the door and let you out, I can only talk to you through this door." Otherwise, I'll lose my head. β
Ji Ni said: "We don't have that kind of request, and we won't make it difficult for you, brother." We just talked through the door, and I couldn't be more grateful. β
It should be safe that way. The soldier said, "Okay, let's talk through the door, keep your voice quiet, and don't let others hear you." β
Ji Ni said, "May I ask the Daimyo? β
The soldier said, "My name is Ah Er." β
Ji Ni said in surprise: "What a coincidence! My nickname is Ah Er. β
Ah Er said, "Really? β
Ji Ni said, "Really. My name is Ah Er. β
Ah Er sighed and said, "The two Ah Er are too different. You're a big official, I'm a small soldier. β
Ji Ni said: "Brother, I am locked up here now, and I don't know what General Yufu is going to do with me?" β
Ah Er said: "He has no enmity with you, he won't do anything to you, he actually just likes those two beauties and those treasures." β
Ji Ni said: "Brother, have you seen those two beauties?" β
Ah Er said, "I see." β
Ji Ni said: "Is it beautiful? β
Ah Er said, "Oops! It was so beautiful, I've never seen a girl like that. β
Ji Ni suddenly giggled, and Ah Er said, "Why are you laughing? β
Ji Ni said: "I laugh at you soldiers who are busy working in vain. β
Ah Er said, "How do you say this? β
Ji Ni said, "If you rob us of our treasures, will the husband give you some of them?" β
Ah Er said, "How is it possible! β
Ji Ni said: "So beautiful two beauties, will the husband share them with you?" β
Ah Er said: "It's even more impossible. β
Ji Ni said, "So I said: You are busy in vain. You still pay with me, bring food, and give you a piece of silver. Chat and give you a piece of silver. Affordable, right? β
Ah Er said, "Who says it's not? β
Ji Ni said, "I have one more thing for you." He handed the string of pearls out. Ah Er was just about to reach out to take it, but Ji Ni's hand retracted: "I can't give it to you for nothing, I want you to promise me one thing." β
Ah Er said: "I can't agree to let you go, I promise you everything." β
Ji Ni said: "My string of pearls can't be bought for twenty yuan of silver in your hand, and one pearl can buy dozens of sheep." It's up to you now, but you're going to open the door for me to make it easier, I'm about to pull it into my pants now. β
"Thisβ" Ah Er hesitated.
Ji Ni said: "Are you afraid that I will run away?" You open the door and put the spear against my heart, and when I move, you send the spear forward, just 'poof', can I still run? β
The temptation of that string of pearls was too great. Ah Er said, "Okay. I'll open the door, and you will give us the pearls first, and then come out, okay? β
Ji Ni said: "Listen to you! β
Ah Er opened the door, Ji Ni handed the pearl out, and then walked out, Ah Er really put the spear against the back of his heart. But Ji Ni's body shook, then flashed to the side, turned sharply, took a step forward, and the five fingers of his right hand were pinched, and with just one wave, he hit Ah Er's temple. Ah Er didn't have time to snort before he fell to the ground.
Ji Ni bent down and stuffed the pearl into Ah Er's arms. He said, "Brother, I'm sorry for you." β
Pull out your legs and run into the shadows.
