Chapter 352: For What
Liu Xin was secretly happy in his heart, according to his understanding, there are old vines in the deep mountains, which can almost not be included in the cost, and manpower does not need to cost a penny, but he does not know that for the poor barbarian tribes, tung oil is already a very expensive expense.
Just now he showed so many ways to deal with rattan armor, in fact, he wanted to force the vulture bone to take the initiative to give up and continue to make rattan armor, lest he be forced to commit such a horrific crime as slaughtering his entire tribe. After the vulture bone begged bitterly, saying that he would never make rattan armor again in the future, Liu Xin did not take it lightly, but used a trick to capture the old man to probe his tone.
Until this time, Liu Xin was not completely relieved, pointed to the half of the rattan armor on the "body" of the wooden stake, and said to the vulture: "Since this is the case, then I will not force you to make rattan armor now, and wait until you have money in the future." You can recuperate in this camp first, and when you recover from your injuries, I will let you go back, and it is useless to leave those rattan armor here, so you can also bring them back with you when the time comes. ”
Remembering the tragic scene after the "rattan armor sheep" was burned just now, he couldn't help but shiver, and said resolutely: "My lord, if you kill me, I won't touch that rattan armor again!" ”
Liu Xin put on a look of hating iron but not steel, and scolded fiercely: "Things that have no future, they will retreat after a little setback." I don't believe it, if you don't touch that rattan armor, I won't find anyone else to touch it? Alas, I knew that I would attack with fire today, and three thousand people burned together, which must have been very spectacular. It's a pity, it's a pity! Come on, take the vulture bone down, it's useless to keep this kind of person, let it go when he's injured! ”
When the vulture first heard "It's useless to keep this kind of person", his heart was cold, thinking that Liu Xin was going to kill him, and then he heard "let it go when the injury is healed", and suddenly there was a feeling of escaping from death, and a heart was tortured by Liu Xin for a while.
Just as the soldiers lifted the stretcher again, the vulture finally breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly scolded, Liu Xin, you pervert, you can play with whoever you like, anyway, I won't accompany you in the matter of rattan armor.
Suddenly, Zhu Rong said: "Wait! Brother, why did you let him go? He and Meng Shu colluded and harmed my father, and I was about to kill him and avenge my father! ”
The vulture bone even cried out: "Miss Zhu, I just came here today, and I haven't even seen your father's face, how can his injuries rely on me?" ”
Zhu Rong said in a deep voice: "Even if my father's injury has nothing to do with you, but if you blaspheme the Fire God, I can't spare you!" ”
In fact, what Vulture Gu is most worried about now is that he has inadvertently offended Zhu Rong, because he is fascinated for a while, and it is likely to cause natural disasters to the entire tribe. Hearing Zhu Rong say this, the vulture bone was really afraid, and said in a loud voice: "Miss Zhu, I know that you are the descendant of the Fire God, but you were deceived by Meng Huo's house and didn't notice it for a while. From now on, my vulture and the people of the entire tribe will obey the orders of the girl, but the girl is bad, and I will never dare to refuse! ”
Zhu Rong groaned: "Can you count when you speak? What makes me believe in you? ”
The vultures swore to the sky: "If the vultures have half a lie, let the god of fire send down a fire and burn all the people I fall behind!" The vulture is also willing to send all his children to the Zhu family as hostages! ”
The barbarian swore the heaviest oath, and when he heard the oath of the vulture bones, Zhu Rong nodded, believing that he would never dare to embarrass the Zhu family in the future, so he said: "Although my father is seriously injured, there is no danger to his life, and the entire Zhu family will still be in charge of him in the future, I just spare you temporarily on his behalf, I hope you will do it yourself!" ”
Liu Xin didn't expect that she was usually very arrogant in Zhurong, but when dealing with the affairs of the clan, she also had a decisive momentum, and she couldn't help but look at her with admiration. After the soldier carried the vulture bone out, he said: "I wish the girl, I wish the family with you, and I will never be defeated, I wish the lord really gave birth to a good daughter!" ”
It was rare to be appreciated by Liu Xin, and Zhu Rong was naturally full of joy, but when she thought that when she was in Xiangyang, Liu Xin refused the family affair in front of her father, and she was a little unhappy, and said: "Since you know that I am a good daughter, why don't you keep your promise?" ”
Seeing that Zhu Rong was about to get involved in the most troublesome thing for him, Liu Xin hurriedly looked at everyone and wanted to play a show about him. But he saw Dian Wei arching his hand and said, "Big brother, there is nothing to do here, and the younger brother will retire first." ”
The rest of the generals had more or less heard some rumors between Liu Xin and Zhu Rong, and saw that even Dian Wei, a rough man, knew how to avoid it, how could he continue to make candles here, so Zhao Yun, Wen Ping, Feng Lie and others bowed together and said: "The last general will retire!" ”
Liu Xingang wanted to say "Wait", but suddenly Guo Jia said with a smile: "Lord Qiqi, although the number of the Central and Southern Alliance troops on the opposite side is large, most of them are barbarian people. Zhu girl just said a few words, and let the vulture bone, who is the head of the clan, make a heavy oath, presumably there must be a wonderful way to crack the barbarians, and the lord may wish to ask Miss Zhu for more advice. ”
Three years ago, Guo Jia was studying abroad, and he went on an expedition to Guanzhong with Liu Xin in the spring of this year, so he didn't know much about the things between Liu Xin and Zhu Rong. However, this did not prevent him from making a clear judgment, this tall barbarian girl seemed to have a soft spot for Liu Xin, and she also had a mysterious special status in the minds of the barbarians. Knowing these two points, in Guo Jia's view, it is much simpler to solve the war in Central and South China. As long as Liu Xin accepts this girl as a concubine, this girl with a mysterious status will definitely stand firmly on Liu Xin's side, so most of the barbarian people will naturally not dare to confront Liu Xin anymore.
Because the Han Dynasty had been the most powerful empire in the East for many years, the Han Chinese tended to have a sense of superiority and looked down on other ethnic minorities. Guo Jia is no exception, he also has a little Han nationalism, if Liu Xin wants to marry Zhu Rong as his wife, I am afraid he will first jump out and oppose it, but if Liu Xin just accepts Zhu Rong as a concubine, in his opinion, it will be harmless, but it will become a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Liu Xin didn't know what Guo Jia was thinking, and when he saw that he could take the initiative to help him change the topic, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and glanced at Dian Wei and Zhao Yun with a little disdain, and said secretly, you guys, don't talk about righteousness at all, how can you look like Guo Jia, this is enough buddy.
Who knows, Guo Jia just paused and continued: "Lord, my subordinates think that if Miss Zhu can give advice, it will involve many unknown secrets within the barbarian clan, and non-subordinates and others can hear about it. Therefore, the subordinates and others still retired first, and asked the lord to talk with the girl slowly and in detail! ”
Liu Xin couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect this Guo Jia to do even better, and directly pushed him to Zhu Rong, not even leaving him room to maneuver. However, Guo Jia's words are reasonable, but they are much stronger than Dian Wei's stubborn proposal to go. Liu Xin's mouth opened twice, wanting to say something, but finally waved his hand helplessly and asked them all to retreat.
Hou Qinu didn't understand what they were saying, and he felt that as Liu Xin's slave, he had the responsibility to stay by his side, so he didn't move.
Liu Xin saw Hou Qinu standing as straight as a gun, and felt a little moved, this is still a good person, unlike those ruthless guys, leaving herself alone to face Zhu Rong really didn't know how to answer her.
Suddenly, Zhu Rong said a barbaric language to Hou Qinu, Hou Qinu immediately pressed his hand to his chest, bowed deeply to Liu Xin and Zhu Rong, turned around and strode towards the outside of the big tent.
Liu Xin was stunned and watched the most "loyal" Hou Qinu leave without saying a word, and it took a while to come back to his senses and ask, "Miss Zhu, what did you say to him?" Why does he listen to you and not me? ”
"I didn't say anything, I just asked him to go to Feng Lie to learn Chinese. He didn't disobey you, that's what you told him. Our barbarian sons and daughters are all trustworthy, unlike some people," Zhu Rong pouted lightly and said disdainfully, "Words don't count!" ”
In this matter, Liu Xin finally felt a little unreasonable, he only thought that Zhu Rong was fifteen years old at that time, such an age can be counted as a "leftover girl" in the barbarians, where can she endure three years of loneliness, who would have thought that she really waited for three years and took the initiative to come to the door.
Seeing Zhu Rong's disgruntled look, Liu Xin had no choice but to stiffen his head and say, "Miss Zhu, I didn't talk either, things are not what you think......
Zhu Rong interrupted him unceremoniously and said, "Do you still say that if you don't speak, it doesn't count?" Did you promise to call me or something? Forgot so quickly? ”
Liu Xin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This ...... This is the big tent of the Chinese army...... Alas, forget it, it's just the two of us now! Sister, I definitely mean what I say, I originally planned to wait for the war in various places to end, and then marry you back home in a beautiful way. It's just that now I heard that your Zhu family still has such a rule, and I can't bully others, right? Let's wait until everything is resolved. ”
Although Zhu Rong's temperament is straightforward, she is also a girl, and she also has a delicate side, and she was very happy to hear that Liu Xin was going to marry her home, and then she knew that he was lying and wanted to prevaricate intentionally. Zhu Rong's nose was sour, and the bean-sized tears fell down, sobbing: "Brother, I know you dislike me for being a barbarian woman......"
Liu Xin couldn't see a woman crying in front of him, and hurriedly said, "Sister, don't think about it, I didn't mean that." As you know, I have always promoted the Han Barbarian family, and I am in favor of Han Barbarian marriage. ”
Zhu Rong wiped a handful of tears and choked up: "So, you just dislike me for being ugly?" ”
Liu Xin's hands kept waving, and he said in a loud voice: "No, no, if you want to say that you are ugly, are there still beautiful women in the world?" ”
Zhu Rong asked reluctantly: "Since this is not that or not, what is it for?" ”
