Chapter 242: Self-Inflicted Wings

"Owner, I still think the price is too great. This move offended the Han people in the world. When the time comes, I'm really afraid that as soon as someone has a heart to publicize it, the reputation of the owner and I as a "traitor" will not be able to escape. No matter how successful we are, we will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Especially the owner, you are a person who wants to do great things, and you must cherish your wings. Literati have always paid attention to reputation, Wang Wen frowned and said this, and he felt uncomfortable at the thought that he would be pointed at the backbone and scolded the traitor.

As soon as Wang Wen's words came out, everyone fell silent again, and all the men present were iron-clad men, but they would be scolded as traitors in the future, and they would be aggrieved when they thought about it.

"You're right, and my reputation is ruined. But the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, everything I Qin Forget has never done for the sake of the so-called fame. I only care about how my brothers and siblings are doing, and whether my people are doing well. As long as you and them don't have to worry about food and clothing, what does it matter if I forget that ten thousand arrows pierce my heart? Qin Forget stood up and said loudly.

"Thank you, owner!" Hearing Qin Wang's expression of his heart, everyone was extremely moved, and they all bowed their heads and shouted in unison.

"Brothers, please get up. In this world, there are gains and losses, and it is impossible to take advantage of all good things. Qin Wangyi helped his subordinate brothers up and comforted.

"The proprietor is right, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and Lao Tzu will fight for his reputation, I want to see if Lao Tzu is a traitor in the end?" Wang Wen seemed to have suddenly made up his mind and stomped his feet fiercely.

It was the first time that everyone heard Wang Wen's foul language, and after being stunned for a while, they burst into laughter. However, he understands his mood very well, the literati have always been high-minded, whether it is real or pretended, these people regard their reputation as more important than their own lives. Wang Wen is not even afraid of traitor, the most shameful word for all Han people, which shows how determined he is.

"Haha......" Qin Forget also laughed with everyone, "That's not it, the reputation is bad, you can make up for it." The Khitan people will not die in the heart of the Central Plains, and sooner or later there will be a battle with Dayan, and we will be on the front line, and when the time comes, there will be an opportunity for us to correct our name. ”

"Yes, a temporary alliance, and I didn't say an eternal alliance. In the future, I will still cut the Khitan dog, and see what scares our Wang Da literati. Yang Xuan joked with a smile.

Hearing Yang Xuan say this, everyone erupted into a burst of hearty and good-natured laughter.

Wang Wen was not angry, and laughed happily with everyone.

"Boss, since the brothers have agreed to form an alliance, but now they have to pay some price for those Khitan dogs, right?" After everyone laughed, Dong Zhuang proposed.

"Of course, if you eat us, you will vomit it out to me with interest." Qin Wangsen said coldly.

Xiao Ding is also very sad these days.

His knowledge of the people of Akagi was limited to written information, and he had no real contact. And the conditions he proposed, to be honest, he himself felt that it was too much, and he was not sure that the people of Akagi had the courage to agree.

He's been nervous for the past few days, but he's still forced to pretend he doesn't care.

At this moment, he was calmly drinking tea, just drinking bowl after bowl, showing the tension in his heart.

"Oh, my young master, do you think that Qin Forget will promise us? Seeing the army of the King of the North Courtyard has been nearly a day by day. If it's late, it's really hard to do it then. Xiao Ding could still sit still, but his entourage couldn't, constantly walking around the room, and one of the entourages finally couldn't help but ask.

Master? It turned out that Xiao Ding was actually Xiao Zhenggang's son, no wonder he had such a big tone and said that everything was easy to discuss.

"Don't worry, Wudu, that Qin Forget will agree, their life in Chicheng is not easy." Xiao Ding said indifferently.

"Young master, it's been a few days, can I not be in a hurry?" Wudu pulled off the pigtail on his left side and said anxiously.

"So, he will be the master, and you can only be a minion, right, Young Master Xiao?" Before Xiao Ding could speak, a young and clear voice sounded at the door.

Xiao Ding looked at Qin Wang, who walked in slowly, and sneered, "I didn't expect General Qin to still have the habit of listening to the corner." ”

"I'm in my own home, and I'm not much of a corner. It's you, Young Master Xiao, have come to ask for help, and you are still hiding your head and tail, isn't it your husband's doing? Qin Forget didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Xiao Ding was speechless, and only snorted heavily.

"Oh, the Xiao family is in my hands, and the 50,000 army is about to come to Helin, Xiao Ding, what do you say I want to blackmail your father?" Qin Forget still teased Xiao Ding with a smile.

"Qin Wang, what do you want?" Xiao Ding completely lost his patience and asked with a vicious stare at Qin Wang.

Seeing Xiao Ding's appearance, Qin Wang's smiling expression tightened, and he also became solemn, "Are you sure your father will admit it?" What I'm going to say next, I'm afraid that your father won't be able to accept it and won't admit it when he turns around. ”

"So you said yes?" Hearing this, Xiao Ding suddenly became excited, "Don't worry, my father will completely leave this matter to me." What I say, it counts. ”

"Okay, there is no basis for what you say, put pen and paper on it!" Qin Forget let out a low snort, and Wang Wen outside walked in with a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Seeing that Wang Wen had made the arrangements, Qin Forget opened his mouth and said, "I promised to form an alliance with you, but I also promised my subordinates to let you eat us all these years."

Akagi's even the main interest was spit out. First, you and Lin have robbed me of no less than 100,000 people in Chicheng for so many years, and you must return it twice this time. and if it is not enough, make up the number of your own people. ”

Listening to Qin Wang's words, Wang Wen's pen trembled, didn't he say 100,000? Why did it suddenly change to 200,000? Yes, the general must have heard that this person was Xiao Zhenggang's biological son, and the army of the Khitan court was about to come, so he suddenly increased his size. The latter conditions must be added a lot, and the owner of his own family is really ruthless! However, he was both relieved and excited, and without hesitation, he wrote the words "population of 200,000 thousand" on the paper.

And Xiao Ding gasped when he heard this, "General Qin, it's impossible, not to mention that our prisoners of war and slaves of all ethnic groups in Helin are only in their early 100,000s, and even if there is, it is impossible for my father to agree." Such a large amount of property, our father and son can't explain it to the clansmen. Xiao Ding shouted.

In the Khitan people, slaves are important assets of the Khitan people as well as cattle and sheep, especially slaves, which are much more valuable than cattle, sheep and war horses. Because slaves, especially Han slaves, are all ingenious, and they are all good at delivering livestock, weaving clothes, and making utensils, and on the grassland, a good Han craftsman is worth five horses.

"Wang Wen, don't write it, let's go!" Qin forgot to greet Wang Wen, got up and walked outside.

"Wait, general, one hundred thousand, this is our bottom line." Seeing Qin Wang's resolute back, Xiao Ding hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly.

Qin Forget stood still, turned around slowly, and sneered, "Hehe, it's your bottom line again." You Khitan people's posture of begging for help is really high? Have you thought about how much public opinion pressure I have to bear in forming an alliance with you Khitans? Even the people of Akagi under my command may have to poke my backbone. If I don't save enough Han people who have been robbed by you, what will I use to block the mouth of the world? Let me put it bluntly, if you don't agree to this one, you won't have to talk about it. Also, don't fucking bargain with me, when you came to loot with knives, you weren't as polite as we were. Qin Forget stared at Xiao Ding and scolded without a smile.

Seeing that Qin Forget was so resolute, Xiao Ding swallowed hard, knowing that this matter was not negotiable, "Okay, I promise you." 200,000 is 200,000, but we really don't have so many people now, can we give a batch first, and then send the rest slowly. ”

Qin Wangluo groaned, "Okay, it's not difficult for me to do it for you, first pick up 30,000 young people and send them to me, and I can't arrange 200,000 people at once." The remaining 170,000 are allowed to be sent in several batches, preferably Han Chinese. But remember, you must treat the old and weak women and children who remain in your clan for the time being, after all, if there is one less person, your clan may have to make up for it. ”
