Chapter 237: Self-inflicted humiliation
Ye Ling's reputation is now well-known among the world's rivers and lakes, after all, Liangshan's rapid development in recent years is inseparable from him, even Qingzhou before he came, not many people have heard of Liangshan, let alone the rest of the states.
So as soon as Li Zhu looked up, he saw that the tiger skin chair in the center of the hall was empty, so he asked.
Wu Yong said unhurriedly: "My big village master is busy with affairs, and I happen to be free today, if you have anything to say, please say it directly, if Wu is not mistaken, there are still a lot of old accounts to be settled between our Liangshan and your Chu State, and it seems that there is no friendship at all." β
Li Zhu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly apologized: "I just asked casually, you don't blame me, in fact, I came this time for the previous incident, at that time, the king of my family was also provoked by the villain to make this decision, and he already regretted it afterwards, this is some gifts, a little compensation, please take a look." β
After speaking, Li Zhu hurriedly took out a gift slip from his arms and handed it over, which said one hundred taels of purple gold, ten pearls, five treasure belts, and a series of valuables, adding up to at least four or five hundred thousand yuan, the state of Chu is now in a critical situation, and Wang Qing has to let out some blood.
Wu Yong and the others softened their faces after reading the gift list, and Chao Gai said loudly: "Although this money is not enough to make up for the loss of our cottage, it can be regarded as a heart, the previous matter should be over, we will not go to you for trouble, you go back and talk to that Wang Qing, let him rest assured." β
Li Zhu's face turned pale, this gift is just to expand the words in the back, this Chao Gai said it easily, and he was going to drive him down the mountain after receiving the gift.
He hurriedly smiled again: "Leaders, there are two things to do on this mountain, and apology is only one of them, and there is another thing that I haven't said." β
Before Chao Gai and the others above could speak, they saw the black whirlwind Li Kui sitting below who was already impatient: "If you have something to say, let it go, why are you still hiding it, grandma's, it's like a girl." β
The rest of the leaders were laughing, Li Zhu was laughed so red-faced, but under the low eaves, he had to bow his head, and he could only laugh a few times and said: "This leader is taught, then I will say it directly, in fact, I came here to form an alliance with Guishanzhai this time, and now the court is extremely hostile to us, the previous Lord Jin has been poisoned, and now he has come to harass our Chu State again, and we can only join forces to deal with them is the right way." β
He tried his best to say that this matter was righteous and awe-inspiring, and it was high-sounding, but in fact, to put it bluntly, their Chu State was beaten and couldn't stand it, and he hoped that Liang Shan would help.
After he finished speaking, he peeked at it, and found that Wu Yongchao Gai and the others had extremely strange expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to laugh and hold back, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, could it be that he deliberately covered them up so deliberately to make them dissatisfied?
How did he know that Du Ling, the commander of the imperial army that made them panic now, was actually Ye Ling, the lord of Liangshan, and there were many leaders of Liangshan in that team, but now he asked Liangshan's people to take action, wouldn't it be equivalent to Liangshan's own people beating his own people?
Therefore, Wu Yong and the others only had this expression, if it weren't for the fact that this matter also involved Ye Ling's safety, I'm afraid they would have made a mockery a long time ago.
Of course, this matter is only known to the general village and a few leaders, and the vast majority of people only know that the owner of the big village has something important to go out, but they don't know that they are going to dig the corner of the court and use their strength to clean up Wang Qingtianhu and others.
Wu Yongqiang swallowed and said: "Prime Minister Li Cheng's words are wrong, this imperial army is just dealing with your Chu State, they must not be in the eyes of a small force like our Liangshan, we are not a king or a tyrant, just begging for food, where to talk about the so-called alliance, you better go back." β
Li Zhu suddenly had the urge to scold, damn, you have almost 100,000 people here, and the entire Qingzhou has almost become your back garden, so you still say that you are a small force? This is completely fooling Lao Tzu as a fool.
But now he came to beg for help, Li Zhu could only forcibly swallow the sentence 'birdman' that he almost blurted out, and then forced out a smile and said: "Mr. Wu said that he laughed, now who in the whole world does not know the strength of Guishanzhai, and it seems that he is extremely admired along the way, and he can already be called the king, as long as you can help us this time, we are willing to personally respect the lord of Ye Dazhai as the king of Qi, and we are willing to be the leader of the alliance." β

He thought that this temptation was big enough, after all, it was enough glory for them to be king, not to mention that Liang Shan, as a rising star, was even more commendable to be recognized by the old power Chu State.
But he obviously underestimated the people of Liangshan, in fact, Ye Ling had already said about the matter of being the king, there can be, but there is no need, let's make a fortune silently on the side, even if the limelight is to let Tianhu Wang Qingfangla and them do it, when the time comes, the court will deal with them first.
Therefore, the high-level leaders of Liangshan are not interested in what is the king or the hegemon, what they want is the whole world, the real king, not this kind of self-proclaimed pseudo-king.
Wu Yong smiled even more heartily: "Your Excellency is too polite, our cottage really has no intention of being the king, as for the officers and soldiers, I believe that with the strength of your country, it is not easy to defeat?" Back then, your envoy preached that Chu and Jin joined forces and were invincible in the world, not to mention tens of thousands of officers and soldiers? β
Li Zhudu was about to cry, it was just a cowhide that their envoys bragged about when they forced Liangshan to submit to submission, if they really wanted the Chu State and the Jin State to join forces and be invincible in the world, would they still need to shrink in their own corners? Besides, now that the Jin Kingdom is gone, and it was destroyed by this 'mere army of officers and soldiers', how can they be easily defeated? Isn't this a deliberate pastime for them?
But before he could speak, he was forcibly sent out by Wu Yong to 'send off the guest', although Li Zhu also has strength, but he really doesn't have the courage to be presumptuous here, I don't know how many heroes in the hall are staring at him, as long as he dares to make a move, he will be torn to pieces in an instant!
After leaving Liangshan, Li Zhu was simply crying without tears, this time he gave a heavy gift, but the thing was not done at all, and he was severely humiliated, this Liangshan people are really not fucking things.
When he returned to Nanfeng City to tell what had happened, the people in the entire palace were silent, and then they scolded Liangshan for all kinds of breaches, and some people even threatened to lead troops to break through Liangshan, and arrest Ye Ling, Wu Yong and others to disembowel, in order to avenge the humiliation today.
But the person who spoke was impassioned, but no one took him seriously, Ni Mei's, now that the enemy is current, we can't protect ourselves, and we still go to fight Liangshan? Bah, you can just talk to yourself.
