Chapter 313: A Lot of Joy and a Lot of Sorrow (2)
Compared with the spring in Chang'an, Shengjing, the orc king city, can be regarded as a cold winter wax moon. Although it is May and June, the climate in Shengjing is no different from early winter. What is missing is just a goose feather snowfall.
Even colder than the weather was the hearts of the beast king Caesar and the crown prince Octavian. Originally, I was looking forward to the war between Xianbei Hu and Qin. But all along, the news of the war between Qin and Xianbei Hu has not come. Not only that, but the Japanese are like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking to them, and if they don't give money, they won't fight.
Caesar sat alone on the dragon chair, and in the entire palace hall, he and the crown prince Octavian were the only two. Right now, he really realized that the Terran Emperor often said a word: alone. In the past, he was able to discuss national affairs and tactics and strategies with the generals under his command. But the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State have forcibly raised the dimension of war to another level, and the decisive victory on the battlefield is already secondary.
Seeking war is what the Qin State uses to fight them. Among the entire orcs, only his son and the two of them can fight with the Qin State, and Ackert can only be counted as half.
"Miscalculated, miscalculated. This monarch and minister of the Qin State is still much beyond our expectations! I thought that I could use countermeasures to let Qin Guo and Xianbei Hu be the fuse and let the human race fight within themselves, but until now, there is still no sign of a half-point fight. Prince, what news has come from the spies we were lurking in the Qin State before, and what methods did the Qin State use to keep Murong Ke moving. ”
Faced with his father's question, Octavian smiled awkwardly and replied, "Father, do you still think that we still have spies in Qin?" Those spies have long been cleared out by the Qin people. Even if they hadn't been cleared, do you think they would be loyal to us after we were gone? They are no different from the Terran armies we have built.
Now, the Qin people occupy Yuguan, and Murong Ke's wolf cavalry occupies our only way to the grassland, and the only way for us to get the news is from the Japanese people. So, Father, I think we'll agree to their terms. We can still afford some money. After all, we brought back a lot of money when we conquered the Celestial Star Empire. What the Japanese demanded was nothing to us. ”
"Humph!!" Caesar laughed self-deprecatingly twice, how could he not know the current situation. The question just now seemed to be asking Octavian, but in fact it was just a torture of his own mind. For the sake of seeking the slightest comfort that the little cannot be less.
"The matter of spies can only be like this. However, I can't let the orcs take a single step in the affairs of the Japanese people. Once it gave in, it would be a disgrace to the entire orc.
Besides, the Japanese are greedy by nature, and they are more than Xianbei Hu. This time, you give them money, then from now on, every time you let them do something, you have to give money every time. They've already taken enough. Greed is not enough to swallow elephants, and once the orcs taste the sweetness, they will become even more violent. “”
"What my father said is indeed true, my orc really can't lose his integrity! However, we must also take into account the actual situation at the moment! Now, the only way we can get the news is through the Japanese people. No, promise them first. But, there is a precondition, money, we will give. However, it will be given in three installments, some in advance, some during the event, and half after the event.
It's all about giving money, but it doesn't look like they're asking for it, it's like we're giving them money and letting them do things for us. ”
Hearing Octavian's words, Caesar couldn't help but nod: "Wonderful! It's wonderful! Prince, why did you only tell this king now? If I said it earlier, I wouldn't have to delay so much. ”
Octavian smiled wryly, touched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Father, this is not what the son thought. Rather, when my son was inspecting the Terrans we had taken captive, he heard a merchant mention it. The human race is an expert in this way! ”
"That's all they have to offer! Forget it, let's not talk about that. The king agreed. The rest is up to you! ”
"Yes!" Octavian knelt on the ground and bowed solemnly.
Caesar smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he could step back.
Immediately, Octavian retreated. In the entire palace hall, only Caesar was left.
Caesar looked at the empty hall and somehow laughed.
The Wa Kingdom, the clowns who jumped off the beam, are not worth mentioning, except for the things they did with the orcs, there are few major incidents. They don't have the courage to lead troops to invade the coastal areas of Qin, at least until they get enough benefits, they won't easily raise troops.
Zhang Xiong, the king of Danyang State, was released after the mission entered the territory of Great Qin. As soon as he was released, without saying a word, he immediately rushed back to Danyang Kingdom and led his troops to chase the Great Qin Mission. But how could he catch up.
When his fleet arrived in the territory of Daqin, it was immediately intercepted by Chen Lian, the governor of the Great Qin Naval Division, and the Yizhou Naval Division. Zhang Xiong could only stand on the board of the boat and scold Chen Lian, Mu Hua and his unscrupulous daughter. His idea of wanting to tie up with Wang Xuance fell through. This really confirms the old saying "lose your wife and break your soldiers"!
Oh, if this is not the case, it can only be called "losing my daughter and breaking my soldiers"!
Looking at Mo Feng again, he took his wife and son all the way to Yangpingguan, all the way, stop-and-go, stop-and-go. While looking at the scenery and observing the people's feelings, I don't know how easy it is. The only trouble is to take Dian Wei and Xu Chu with two foodies. Every day, the money I bring with me when I go out is decreasing day by day! made him have the idea of making money by performing on the streets.
If it is known by the ministers, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin will go to the streets to sell his arts and seek wealth in order to support his two generals, and this face will be lost. This situation lasted all the way, until I arrived in Chencang and met a barbecue restaurant that had just opened, and this situation that lasted all the way changed.
"Our store opened today, specializing in roasted beef and mutton. In order to celebrate this beautiful event, the store specially held a big stomach king competition, all those who participate in the competition and eat 30 catties of meat, all are free; If you participate in the contest and are not satisfied, you will have to pay double the fee. Mo Feng read word by word, which made him quite interested in the "opening big reward".
This situation and this scene can't help but make him feel a strong modern atmosphere. What a nostalgic feeling!
Looking back behind him, he saw that Dian Wei and Xu Chu, the two foodies, couldn't help but flow out. looked at Luo Qingyao beside him again, and asked, "Madam, shall we go in?" ”
Luo Qingyao glanced at him, the meaning was very clear, with all the money they had on them now, if they didn't go in, where else could they go!!
"Alright, let's dine here! Thirty pounds, I'm really afraid that it's not enough! Mo Feng's sigh attracted the sneers of other diners who were also watching the "opening reward", this person was really not afraid of the wind when he spoke. Thirty catties of meat, what a lot of food!
Mo Feng ignored the sneers of these "frogs at the bottom of the well". Because, facts speak louder than words, and later, they will see the "ferocity" of Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
