Liu Jiwu walked into the big tent, followed by Shen Chen. The two of them entered the tent, but saw a middle-aged man sitting behind the tent, dressed in animal skins, wearing a fur hat, and holding a wine glass in his hand, staring at them playfully. Behind the middle-aged man, there were two armored guards, an old man and a young man, each standing with a knife, looking at Liu Jiwu and the others, their eyes were also full of strong hostility.

Although Liu Jiwu was angry, he still stepped forward to greet him. He introduced himself to the leader who was seated, and then exchanged a few polite words. Shen Chen immediately stepped forward, translated Liu Jiwu's words into Hu, and spoke to the leader who was sitting behind a few cases.

The chieftain still played with the glass in his hand with a blank face, and did not speak for a long time. He didn't even call for the two to sit down. Liu Jiwu's eyes gradually turned from dissatisfaction to coldness. He stared at the careless leader for a long time, and then whispered to Shen Chen, "Tell him that if he wants all the people in their tribe to starve to death, he will continue to ignore me." ”

After that, Liu Jiwu turned around and walked towards the tent curtain, and Shen Chen, who was behind him, was translating his words into Hu and spoke to the leader of the Di people after a few cases. Then, Shen Chen also hugged his fists as a salute, bowed down and retreated a few steps, then turned around and followed the footsteps of Liu Jiwu, who had left.

After the two got out of the tent, they went all the way to the gate of this humble camp. Many tribal warriors outside the tent were a little surprised when they saw the two of them walking out, and their faces were not angry. But no one stopped them. The two men marched unhindered to the stables, then turned on their horses, marched towards the camp gate, and then retrieved their weapons from the tribal warrior who had taken them, and returned to their station.

In the tent, the leader who had just sat still turned to the old man in armor and knife behind him, and said, "Father, do you think these two can believe it?" ”

The old man laughed and said, "My son has his own judgment, why do you need to ask this old bone for my father?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "In Yi'er's personal opinion, these two people have been in a hurry to explain their intentions, obviously because they have been prepared for a long time. Their offer, we probably can't refuse. However, I felt that the tribe was currently in such a predicament and was struggling to survive, and it was really better to listen to what these two people said before making a decision. ”

The old man said leisurely: "Since you have already decided so, why are you waiting for him slowly?" ”

The middle-aged man replied without thinking: "These Han people are the most cunning and changeable. When dealing with them, you have to be careful. We have been slow to treat him, because we feel that if they are impatient to state their demands, they must be compelled by the situation to ask for us. If they want to use us, they can of course refuse to do so. If what they ask for is acceptable, we can ask for a price. However, when the two saw that we had no intention of cooperating, they immediately took their leave. Obviously, they are already confident, and whatever they are asked, the terms they offer must be very generous. In that case, it is not unreasonable for him to summon them again for a detailed discussion. ”

When the old man heard this, he laughed a lot and said, "Bow to the front and back, it's a good plan!" It coincides with the idea of being a father. Fu An, quickly get out of the tent and invite those two back to the big tent to discuss matters! ”

The young guard behind the middle-aged man immediately answered the order and rushed out of the tent.

Liu Jiwu and Shen Chen rode to the camp gate, and restrained their horses in front of the camp gate, and were about to ask the warrior outside the door to get back their weapons, but Shen Chen suddenly heard a nonsense shout behind him: "Two stay!" ”

Shen Chen leaned forward slightly, and then pulled Liu Jiwu's sleeve. Liu Jiwu turned his head and looked at Shen Chen with doubt.

Shen Chen pointed at the armored warrior who was rushing over, and said, "Isn't this person the guard behind the leader in the big tent?" I had just heard him shout to stay, and I saw this man hurrying in our direction. Could it be that things are turning around? ”

Liu Jiwu stared at the rushing warrior with a solemn face, and said, "I'll wait for a while and see what he has to say." ”

Shen Chen nodded, indicating that he had comprehended his mind. The warrior rushed to the front, Liu Jiwu sat on the horse's back, and asked, "Your Excellency, I don't know what else to teach?" ”

Shen Chen translated Liu Jiwu's words to the warrior, and when the warrior heard this, he put his right hand on his chest and bowed deeply, and said, "I and the leader regretted Fang Cai's slow treatment, and at this time sent me to ask the two generals to go to the big tent again." Please enjoy the two generals. ”

Liu Jiwu listened to Shen Chen's translation, still expressionless, and did not see joy or anger.

After a while, Liu Jiwu raised his horsewhip and said, "In that case, I'll go with you to talk for a while." But if there is another way to do that, I will never look back when I get out of this camp. ”

After hearing Shen Chen's translation, the warrior nodded again and again, and said, "Never again, I promise that this incident will never happen again, please rest assured." ”

When the two followed the warrior into the big tent again, they saw that the middle-aged leader with a proud expression was standing in the center of the big tent at the moment, and when they saw the two of them coming in, they immediately used Han Li, clasped their fists with both hands, and shook the two deeply, saying, "I am the leader of this tribe, and my name is Fu Hong." There is a lot of slow treatment, and please take care of the two of you. ”

Liu Jiwu stood still, and after listening to Shen Chen's translation, his face was still pale, and he neither spoke nor returned the salute. The old and young armored warriors standing behind the cases all looked dissatisfied, but the middle-aged leader didn't care at all. He beckoned the two of them to sit down quickly, and instructed the waiter beside him: "Go and bring some goat's milk wine to quench the thirst of the two generals." ”

Shen Chen also translated this to Liu Jiwu, but Liu Jiwu waved his right hand and said, "Don't bother." I am the messenger of the Liangzhou Army. I like to get straight to the point. At present, your ministry is short of food and clothing, are you willing to work with us and others to do a profitable business so that your ministry can survive the harsh winter? ”

Shen Chen translated these words to the middle-aged tribal leader. When the leader heard this, his face changed in an instant. He looked puzzled and asked: "The general's words, forgive me for being reckless, I don't understand what he means, please make it clear to the general." ”

Shen Chen translated, and Liu Jiwu stood up and said, "I want to ...... Invite your troops to join you and attack Zhao Jun's baggage convoy! ”

"What?" The middle-aged leader had a puzzled look on his face, and stared at the two of them suspiciously for a long time. It's like looking at two crazy people. And when Shen Chen repeated Fang Cai's words again, the middle-aged leader had already pulled out the knife on his waist and put it on Liu Jiwu's neck.
