Whether it is for personality reasons or because of his professionalism, Luo Kaixian rarely judges someone because of his first impression, because he understands the complexity of people better than anyone else - whether it is a person who seems honest and honest, or a person who is tricky and eccentric, it may only be one side of them.

But, for the first time since he came to this era, he found himself so disgusted by seeing a type of person who was right in front of his eyes.

In addition to the entourage of the guards, the envoy of the Xingzhou Ma clan came a total of three people, they all appeared in Luo Kaixian's tent now, after the guest was seated, the three people explained their identities, the main envoy was a slender face named Ma Xuanji, and the two deputies just briefly introduced the next one with the same surname Ma, and the other was even more simple to have only one code name with the same name, coyote.

It's the first time I've dealt with it, and there's nothing to say hello to, so after the introduction, let's get straight to the topic.

Ma Xuanji, who had a thin face, said in a tone that could barely be called respectful: "General Luo, recently people from your department have often entered Xingzhou, and Xingzhou is under the control of my Ma clan, I wonder if General Luo intends to get involved in Xingzhou?" ”

Luo Kai was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a heavy face: "I don't know who the leader of the Ma clan is now, who sent you...... Is it to ask General Ben for his guilt? Or is it a war book? ”

I don't know if it was because Ma Xuanji didn't dare to disobey the leader's instructions, or because the might of someone Luo deterred the arrogance of this so-called envoy, and the tone of his slender face softened a little, "Now the leader of my Ma clan is named Ma Zurong, not to ask General Luo for the crime, but my Ma clan controls Xingzhou Baili, and I am here just to announce that my Xingzhou and General Luo of Lingzhou are friends and neighbors of each other, don't raise a sword and ......."

"Don't talk to General Ben about these scenes!" Luo Kaixian raised his hand to stop the other party's seemingly impassioned words, and asked in a deep voice: "Is the fugitive from the Uta Department in your Ma clan before?" Let's give General Ben an explanation first, otherwise it will be difficult for Ben General's subordinates to sleep underground! ”

"This ......" can become a messenger, naturally has the ability to observe words and feelings, the slender face Ma Xuanji knows that this kind of thing can't be hidden, since Luo Kaixian has brought it up, it means that he can't avoid it, he pressed the two companions on the left and right, pretended to be very embarrassed and said: "General Luo, the Uta Department is my old friend and neighbor of the Ma clan, and now it is no longer there, there is the head of the Xiazhou Tuoba clan, and my Ma clan does not want to discuss right and wrong." It's just that...... The Han people have a saying, called things in transit, Uta Gorideng is dead, why bother with the old things the day before yesterday? ”

Ma Xuanji's words have softened a lot compared to before, if it is in the eyes of hypocrites who believe in "forgiving and forgiving", there is nothing wrong with accepting it when it is good, but this is definitely not Luo someone's style.

He didn't listen to the explanation of this so-called Ma envoy at all, "What a joke, killed six of Luo's subordinates, stole more than 100 horses, and killed his own leader, this kind of rebellious person is worthy of your Ma family's acceptance?" ”

Ma Xuanji's face was cloudy, and the two deputies beside him were annoyed, and Huo Ran, the stout guy called the coyote, stood up and shouted in Chinese: "My Ma clan is not a fool of the Uta Clan, I can't even protect my own homeland, as for how my Ma clan patriarch acts, I don't have to ask General Luo to tell me!" ”

If you have a backbone, you are always worthy of appreciation, but the temperament of this coyote completely destroys Luo Kaixian's perception, it is not the eyes of a self-reliant and confident warrior, but a mixture of bloodthirsty killing and cruel ferocious beastliness, which is exactly what Luo has seen the most in his mercenary career in later generations.

Anyone with this kind of vision is either a bloodthirsty fanatic with a twisted mind, or a brainwashed religious fanatic, either of which is a serious lack of humanity.

The reason why he was able to perceive it so clearly was because Luo Kaixian himself had the same psychological period, when he had just been torn off his epaulettes and joined the circle of mercenaries for the first time.

Oh, Luo Kaixian was never a religious person.

Although he had long anticipated the human nature of this era, Luo Kaixian really didn't expect to come into contact with this kind of guy so quickly, still in his "own" land, and it was obvious that the three guys in front of him were just representatives, and there must be an indescribable number behind them, such as Xingzhou Ma's.

This unexpected feeling made Luo Kaixian a little excited, but also a little annoyed, excited that there were some things that could be challenged, and annoyed that he believed too much in the history he had read, knowing that it was only a general or even revised record, but he still ignored some blind spots for granted.

Of course, as a warrior, in Luo Kaixian's heart, there was more excitement.

So, as soon as the coyote finished speaking, he found that the elder surnamed Luo, who was sitting opposite him, had changed his expression, and a pair of dark eyes were shining as if they were glowing.

Well, that's the delusion of a coyote and two people with the surname Ma.

Luo Kaixian straightened his waist excitedly, and his eyes went back and forth to the three people sitting opposite him, "Very good, very good!" Coyotes, right? With all due respect, how many powerful warriors do you have, well, like the coyote of your level...... Ten thousand? Or 100,000? ”

The coyote with deep eye sockets, gray eyes, and a high nose felt that the hairs on the back of his neck stood up, and he felt like he was facing an irresistible monster, and subconsciously took half a step back, but behind his feet was a log pier used to sit, and after being tripped up, he secretly pinched his thigh with his hand before he came out of the feeling of losing his mind, "You, what are you going to do?" ”

"Don't panic, otherwise it will disgrace your patriarch Ma Zurong...... General Ben just wants to ask how many soldiers there are in the Ma clan who can protect their homeland, and if they can fight with my soldiers, you know, I haven't met an opponent worth fighting for two months, and those bastards are complaining every day, which makes me feel very irritable! Luo Kaixian said comforting and explaining words calmly, but his eyes became more attentive than at the beginning, and then matched his wooden face that had no expression all year round......

For Nuralman, who was staying in the tent to record, and the two personal soldiers standing on the edge of the tent on standby, such a general was like when he faced the three coalition forces a while ago...... Brave and fearless head demeanor.

But for Ma Xuanji, who was sitting opposite Luo Kaixian, it was dangerous and infinitely terrifying, he had hoped that his partner, the brutal coyote, would be able to resist the toughness of the other party, but ...... It turns out to be the opposite.

Ma Xuanji twisted his somewhat stiff neck, and even roared at the stunned coyote in a shrill voice: "Shut up, coyote!" You sit down for me! ”

After the coyote sat down a little stiffly, Ma Xuanji leaned over and raised his hand slightly, "I'm sorry, General Luo, the coyote is a brave warrior, not a good debater, and I ask General Luo to be elegant and forgive me." My Xingzhou Ma clan is not as strong as General Luo's subordinates, and there are only 3,000 people who control the strings, how dare I fight with the general? What's more, my Ma clan is subordinate to the Xiazhou Yeli clan, and the general is also related to the party department...... The patriarch sent me to Lingzhou to visit our neighbors in the hope that we could communicate with each other in the future, and we did not intend to provoke a border provocation! ”

"Really...... Rain on someone's parade! Pretending to sigh regretfully, Luo Kaixian did not lose his vigilance, although it was the first time they met, he knew very well what kind of people the three opposites were, and the things in their bones betrayed them.

As a negotiating figure, it is normal to have a red face and a white face, the coyote is charged, Ma Xuanji is digging a pit and burying the man, and the third person who has never spoken out is the most dangerous one, because this person is too calm, calm like a bystander who has nothing to do with himself.

However, now is not the time to debunk the other party's identity, it doesn't make much sense.

Luo Kaixian shook his head, "Let's wait for the time being, hand over the remnants of the Uta Department first, and then talk about the rest." General Ben doesn't like to be polite, and there is no need to say superfluous nonsense! ”

"This ......" Ma Xuanji lowered his head slightly in contemplation, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his head and said: "General Luo, my patriarch has explained before, and he is willing to atone for the sins of the rest of the Uta tribe with multiple wealth, and your tribe will be returned to the same amount of horses they plundered, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

"There are a total of twenty-three remnants of the Uta tribe who fled before, six people were injured, and now there are eight people with injuries that have not recovered!" Luo Kaixian sat upright like a mountain, with a calm face, "In addition, there are one hundred and thirteen horses that have been looted, and a number of horse harness and sundries, what do you Xingzhou Ma use to compensate?" ”

The silent third person never said a word, and the fierce-eyed coyote also died down, so it was still the main envoy Ma Xuanji who spoke, "The patriarch has promised to return all the horses and sundries in full, and is willing to pay with two hundred Tugu Hun horses!" ”

Tsuchitani Hun Horse?

Luo Kaixian had heard that the bloodline of the Hequ horse in later generations originated from the Tuguhun horse, but now is not the time to explore horses, and human life is not something that a mere horse can compensate.

"Two hundred horses?" A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and Mr. Luo Kai said coldly: "How can human lives be paid?" The general's subordinates, even slaves, are not allowed to be harmed at will, human lives must be compensated with human lives, and they must be wounded, and no one can be an exception. ”

"General Luo, this matter is not negotiable?" Ma Xuanji's face stiffened again, the rules on the grassland can trade anything, although the rules of the Han people have the saying that the murderer pays for his life, but it is not impossible to negotiate, and it is really a headache for him to meet such a difficult negotiator.

"Ben will say everything and never change!" Luo Kaixian's words were crisp and decisive.

"So...... This matter is not something that the envoy of Ma can decide, I need to go back to Xingzhou to ask my Ma clan chief, and ask General Luo to allow a few days later, Ma will definitely visit again! Ma Xuanji secretly glanced at the person next to him, but without the slightest hint, he had to put forward a farewell to return to Xingzhou.

"That's fine, General Ben is waiting for good news in Lingzhou!" Luo Kaixian stood up and said very casually: "Come on, send off guests!" ”

P.S. Recommend the new version of the Russian movie "The Dawn Is Quiet Here", the scenery and background music in it are simply amazing, different from Hollywood, but Russia still has their own heritage. I recommend this because the scenery of the primeval mountain forest inside is very much in line with the natural environment in this book.
