Chapter 241: Engagement

The man's words once again aroused the anger of the crowd, and the lieutenant stood up, drew his long knife, pointed at him, and said, "I don't think you are here to eat, but to look for trouble." ”

The man laughed: "Why is the military master angry again, a horse is not worth a few dollars, okay, this ingot of gold can be regarded as buying your horse." After speaking, he took out a gold ingot from his bosom and threw it to the lieutenant general.

The deputy general subconsciously took it with his hand, but he didn't expect that there was such a domineering force attached to the gold, and the deputy general was careless for a while, and his palm was smashed painfully.

The soldiers next to him saw that the other party had bad intentions, and they pulled out their weapons one after another, preparing to come forward to fight.

Bai Mengqi was also a little angry at this time, he was a big general, and he had already given the other party enough faces, but the other party still tested his bottom line again and again, and it was good to teach them a lesson.

Although the opponent's martial arts are extraordinary, Bai Mengqi is also a famous teacher, and he is full of confidence in defeating them.

Who knew that the two sides had fought for less than a round, and more than a dozen sergeants, including the adjutant general, were all knocked down by eight people on the other side.

"Who the hell are you?" Bai Mengqi realized that things were not as simple as he thought.

"Hehe, the general doesn't need to panic, in Xia Leiton, the sect leader heard that the general was going back to Qindi, so he sent Lei to respond." It turned out that the person who came was none other than Leiton, the hall master of the Heavenly Luo Sect's Flying Star Hall.

"You are from the Tianluo Sect? How did you sect leader know that I was going to break out of Handan City? Bai Mengqi was even more surprised, not only because of the identity of the other party, but also because of the wisdom of the sect leader.

"The sect leader has already arrived, Yan Chixing definitely wants to take the entire Qin land, but his hard attack may not be able to beat us, the best strategy is to let you back, so the sect leader arranged for us to meet you near Handan in advance." Leighton explained why.

Bai Mengqi was even more surprised, from the beginning, he didn't take the Tianluo Sect to heart like Yan Chixing and Feng Bomou, but it was because of their contempt that the Tianluo Sect became the biggest winner in the end.

"Is the general going to come with us himself, or is it going to ask our brother to invite you?" With that, Layton used his internal force and left two distinct footprints on the granite floor.

Bai Mengqi's face changed, and the other party's inadvertent hand had already shown that his internal strength was above himself, plus the other seven people present, once the fight started, he had no chance of winning.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but you have to let me go." Bai Mengqi agreed with some discouragement, he still thought that after leaving Handan, he would take everyone to fight, but who knew that he had escaped from the city for less than a day, and was captured by another group of people.

Leighton knew his intentions and comforted: "Don't misunderstand, General, our sect leader has no malicious intentions, he knows that even if you are let go back to Qindi, your uprising will never succeed, in addition to causing trouble to us, it will only bring disaster to the people, and then it will only cheapen others." ”

Bai Mengqi bowed his head and didn't speak, he knew that he wanted no one and no money, and if he really wanted to succeed, he could only mess up the Qin State first. But he is a native of Qin, and the Qin country is really chaotic to that point, and it is not what he wants to see.

"Okay, let's hurry up and get on the road, Yanzhou is now the territory of the Song Kingdom, and it will take a lot of effort to get out of here." Layton saw that Bai Mengqi was restrained, and he didn't want to delay any longer.

As for Bai Mengqi's lieutenant general, Layton simply sold his favor and let it go, anyway, Shi Luosheng didn't explain, and even if he was a lieutenant general, even if he let it go, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Ten days later, Bai Mengqi returned to Sucheng, and Gao Kegong took Li Shirong and Wang Chiji and others to greet him outside the city.

"General Bai, I've worked hard all the way, I've prepared a banquet in the city to catch you up." Gao Kegong stepped forward with a smile.

Bai Mengqi was just about to talk, when the corner of his eyes swept to Li Shirong behind him, and he snorted coldly.

Gao Kegong didn't care, laughed and pulled Bai Mengqi back to his mansion.

Everyone sat down, and Bai Mengqi took the lead in asking, "Where is your sect leader now?" I want to meet him. ”

"Don't worry, the sect master has already gone to Rongcheng to deal with the affairs of the Yandi battlefield. He specially told Gao to entertain the general. Gao Kegong smiled and toasted a glass of wine.

Bai Mengqi barely took a sip and asked again, "Now that I'm back, how do you plan to settle me?" Will I be under house arrest in Sucheng, or will I be sent overseas as well? ”

On the way here, he already learned from Layton that the crown prince Feng Tao and Xie Daoxuan, the young owner of Yunluo Villa, were sent to Ryukyu together.

Gao Kegong put down his wine glass, waved his hand, motioned for everyone to go out first, and then stared at Bai Mengqi and asked, "Didn't the general think about joining our Tianluo Sect?" ”

Bai Mengqi was just about to speak, but Gao Kegong stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Gao Mou brought the general here, not only to persuade him to surrender, but also to have a conversation with the general and talk about his heart." Dare to ask the general, what kind of goods are the princes you are loyal to, and the so-called colleagues who are officials in the same dynasty as you? ”

Bai Mengqi was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while. Feng Bomou is not only not a Ming monarch, but he can't even be called a qualified monarch. As for those colleagues, people like Li Shirong, Liu Hongyu and others don't mention it.

Gao Kegong saw that he didn't speak, and continued to ask: "The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and the Qin State seems to be much more peaceful than the other four countries on the surface, but what is the life of the people?" Not to mention the people of Qi State, but also better than the war-torn countries such as Song State and Yan State, their lives are better? ”

"General, you are naturally well aware of these things from a poor background, but do they know the monarch you are loyal to, the court you are loyal to? If you can't tell whether you should be loyal to the people or the Feng family, then I can only say that you are not even foolish. ”

"General, look at Lu Duru like me again, now serving under the sect leader's account, he entrusts Qin Di with full authority to me, and obeys my words. And your talent, General, is ten times better than mine, I hope you can seriously consider it, for the sake of the people of Qin, you can't just waste your life for your own integrity and reputation, that is the most selfish way. ”

Bai Mengqi was surprised after hearing this, Gao Kegong was just a mediocre person who did nothing in his impression, but he didn't expect to have such insight after joining the Tianluo Sect.

Seeing that Bai Mengqi didn't speak, Gao Kegong said again: "General, do you know what kind of life the people of Ryukyu are living now?" ”

Bai Mengqi shook his head suspiciously.

Gao Kegong smiled and deliberately hung his appetite: "The sect leader told me before leaving, and when you return to Sucheng, if you want, I will send someone to Ryukyu to see the lives of the people over there." The sect leader also said that as long as he was given two years of peace, he would be able to make all the people in Qin have enough to eat, and within ten years, he would be able to make the people of Qin live a life that was not inferior to that of the people of Qi. ”

Bai Mengqi smiled in disbelief, he had been to Shangjing and knew that the gap between the Qin State and the Qi State was not something that could be caught up in just a few decades.

Gao Kegong didn't say anything: "The general has been away from home for more than half a year, so I will rest in the house for a few days, and I will arrange for you to go to Xianghu Lake in half a month, and take a boat to Naha from there." If you feel that the life of the people there is okay, and you are willing to believe that the sect leader can fulfill his promise within two years, please consider joining our Tianluo Sect. ”

Bai Mengqi felt that it was impossible to achieve, so he casually agreed: "Don't think about it, if the sect leader of your sect can really make the people of Qin State have enough to eat within two years, then Bai is willing to serve the dead." ”

Gao Kegong was overjoyed when he heard this, and beckoned everyone to come in and continue the banquet just now.

After three rounds of drinking, Gao Kegong sent someone to send Bai Mengqi back to the General's Mansion.

As soon as they entered the house, their wife Qiu came out with their four children, they all thought that after the fall of the Qin State, they should not have a chance to see each other again, but they didn't expect Bai Mengqi to come back alive, and several people immediately hugged each other and cried.

After a long time, Bai Mengqi asked about the current situation at home, and the Qiu family replied truthfully, it turned out that after the Tianluo Sect army entered the city, he sent people to protect the General's Mansion, and after the people in the city were completely pacified, everything in the White Mansion was restored to the same as before.

Bai Mengqi's two sons didn't talk about activities in the city, even if they went out of the city and stayed overnight, no one asked.

Bai Mengqi was born in a poor family, he is not like Li Shirong and Liu Hongyu, who have other industrial income in addition to Yulu. Their family can only rely on their own money, so they are a big general, and there are only two servants in the family.

After the fall of the Qin State, Baifu cut off his livelihood, and the Qiu family and their two sons wanted to find a job, but who in Sucheng didn't know their mother and son, and who dared to ask the general's family to be a servant? So Qiu had no choice but to make some breakfast by himself and let his two sons take it to the market to sell.

Later, this matter reached Shi Luosheng's ears, and he was secretly surprised, and from that time on, he was determined to subdue Bai Mengqi.

So he asked Gao Kegong to still distribute money and food to Baifu every month according to the general's standards, and before he left, he came up with a way to subdue him and handed it over to Gao Kegong to implement.

After listening to the Qiu Clan's story, Bai Mengqi's impression of the Tianluo Sect improved greatly, and at the same time, he was full of curiosity about them, and he originally promised Gao Kegong to go to Naha to have a look, but it was just perfunctory, because he didn't believe that there could be a richer place in this world than the Qi country, and now he really wanted to see it.

After staying at home for half a month, Bai Mengqi found that no one was monitoring him, you must know that he originally planned to return to Qin to organize an uprising, how could the Tianluo Sect dare to be so reassured?

In order to test Gao Kegong, Bai Mengqi also deliberately went to the suburbs twice, the first time he went alone, and stayed outside the city for two days, without seeing any changes in the vicinity.

Bai Mengqi was still unwilling, the second time he took the Qiu family and a few children, hired two big carriages, and the family left Sucheng with a swagger. After staying in the suburbs for another three days, there was still no movement, and Bai Mengqi was completely convinced.
