Chapter 141: Assassination (I)
The two envoys were silent, and Liu Fan saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, and twisted his body quite uncomfortably. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He felt that he should find a less serious question at this time to liven up the atmosphere and rest his brain, didn't Lenin, the revolutionary teacher, say it?! "If you don't rest, you won't have fun!"
"Master Guoshi, the scenery on the grassland is good, right?" Liu Fan was speechless at first.
Shulu nodded sullenly.
"Then why do you always hear that your herdsmen don't have enough to eat and wear?"
Shu Lu glanced at him: "We herdsmen don't farm, we only raise cattle and sheep. There are too many natural disasters on the grassland, such as ice and snow, and strong winds...... are our natural enemies. ”
Liu Fan shook his head and said: "You are asking for food with a cornucopia, in fact, you can take advantage of a lot of advantages, why do you have to come to our Chu Dynasty to grab things?" ”
Shu Lu was stunned and said, "I don't know what Lord Hou means? ”
Liu Fan patted his thigh and said: "You have to look farther, in fact, you can completely develop the grassland into a tourist attraction." We can mobilize the rich people of Dachu to travel there, ride horses, dance, open bonfires, and take the grassland girls who sleep again...... You will make a lot of money, so why do you bother to fight around? ”
Ignoring the stunned gazes of the two envoys, Liu Fan continued: "If you earn silver, you can use it to exchange it for food on the border of the Chu Dynasty, so that you will not be afraid of starvation in the event of a natural disaster." How good, so you prairie people are dead-eyed! I always think about going to war, but if I don't fight, I will get more benefits......"
Shu Lu and Itamu glanced at each other again, and once again reached a consensus: Is there something wrong with this Marquis Liu's brain? How could the emperor of the Chu Dynasty send such a person to negotiate with us?
Liu Fan continued to help them come up with ideas: "You can also do a lot of activities to attract customers, such as wrestling competitions or something, by the way, do you people on the grassland wrestle?" Is it shaking your arms and shaking for a long time? ”
Itamu finally came to his senses when he heard the interpreter talk about wrestling, and he said excitedly when he heard the words.
Lu Dingwen said: "He said that the men on the grassland are the bravest and most fierce, and wrestling is their main form of entertainment, generally the strongest warriors are selected from the two tribes, and the cattle and sheep are the bets, and everyone gathers around to cheer them up, and the two warriors bend down, put their hands on each other's shoulders, and then do ......."
Liu Fan was taken aback: "Up?" ”
Lu Dingwen nodded and said, "Yes, it's done." ”
Liu Fan's face was full of admiration, and he praised Itamu: "You men on the grassland are so kind! It's a pioneer with a back to the mountain! What did two big men do? With so many people watching, won't they be shy? ”
Everyone in the room looked at each other, and then sweated profusely.
Shu Lu said with a calm face: "Lord Hou." Can we continue negotiating? ”
Liu Fan sneered: "Of course, of course......" It seems that the grassland people are not interested in enlivening the atmosphere.
Itam thought about it for a long time, and finally thought about the conditions, and then spoke loudly in Turkic language.
Lu Dingwen translated: "He said that Ashina Great Khan is willing to give three million taels of silver and return all the women, children and laborers of the Chu Dynasty, and is willing to swear to the Immortal Heaven that from now on he will be good-neighborly and friendly with the Chu Dynasty and will not invade each other, and if the two countries join forces to destroy Yelu Khan, Ashina Great Khan is willing to share the Khitan land, herdsmen and everything with my Great Chu, and will never regret it." ”
Shulu jumped up angrily when he heard this, and scolded Itamu fiercely in Khitan dialect, and Itamu was not to be outdone, and the two of them began to quarrel again about your words and my words.
Liu Qiaode couldn't stand it anymore, so he leaned into Liu Fan's ear and said: "Master Hou, if you say a few words like this, you will quarrel a few words, it's not a way to go on like this, isn't it better to talk about it in a different way?" ”
Liu Fan nodded and said: "Yes, Ben Hou didn't expect the grassland people to be so rude, the quality is really poor, and they can't talk about a result in eight lifetimes, according to Ben Hou, it's better to talk to them separately." ”
Liu Qiaode also agreed with this idea, and after exchanging opinions with Chu Yi, Liu Fan said with a smile: "Two noble envoys, it's not too early, let's talk about it here today." The two of you don't have to care about us, continue, you continue, hehe, the mountains and rivers are beautiful here, the two of you might as well live here, you can also lie down and quarrel when you are tired, if you don't feel like the noise, there is a vacant space outside the temple gate, which is very suitable for three or four hundred people to fight alone, beat, and fight...... Oh, Ben Hou forgot, you prairie people like wrestling, anyway, the venue is at your disposal, even if you use it, don't be polite......"
When the two grassland messengers saw that Liu Fan was leaving, they couldn't help but be anxious, and they didn't talk about anything on this day, so they just mentioned their own conditions. If we continue to talk about it like this, I really don't know what year or month I have to talk about.
Shu Lu grabbed Liu Fan and said with a smile: "Lord Hou, please stay, it's still early, why rush to leave at this time?" The old man didn't quarrel with the brute, so let's sit down and continue talking. ”
Liu Fan said with a smile: "Master National Teacher, you have also seen the situation in front of you, and you can't talk about it anymore." It's inevitable that these two people will live their lives, but the two messengers are big men, so they can't fight for the length of their tongues like two enemies, right? ”
Shu Lu and Itamu heard Liu Fan compare them to two people, and they looked at each other and then shuddered.
Liu Fan continued: "So, hehe, let's talk about it separately, this is also beneficial to you, if there are any conditions, let's mention them in private, so we don't need to quarrel in the open." Regardless of whether you can talk about it or not, everyone will get together and disperse, as long as you go out of my Dachu country, even if you are stabbing each other with knives, it is your own business. ”
Shu Lu glanced at Itamu, and an inexplicable light flashed in the eyes of both of them, and then the two of them nodded at the same time and agreed to Liu Fan's proposal.
Liu Fan clapped his hands with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's so good, Ben Hou will leave, let's talk about it tomorrow, Lao Shu, oh, yes, the national teacher doesn't have a surname, right?" …… Master Guoshi, Ben Hou will talk to you tomorrow, and then I will find Lao Yi after the talk......"
Looking at Itamu, Liu Fan asked, "...... You don't have a surname Yi either, do you? Hey, Ben Hou said you prairie people, why is it so troublesome to come up with a name?! It's not easy to scream, it's too backward......"
Liu Fan held his hands and shook his head as he walked, leaving behind two grassland messengers, full of black lines, staring at his departing back with hatred......
Out of the temple gate, Liu Fan said goodbye to Liu Qiaode and Chu Yi, took the killer brother alone, and the two got into the carriage and returned home.
The killer brother sat quietly in the carriage. - He has always been very quiet, since the day Liu Fan met him, he has always been a person who cherishes words like gold, and he is more rare than a lawyer. I really don't know if this is his nature, or if he was stimulated by growing up, which caused some difficulties in language function......
Liu Fan got into the carriage and kept staring at the killer brother curiously. In his eyes, the profession of killer is very exciting, and the image is also very cool, just like in the movie: the autumn breeze is bleak, the leaves are flying, and a lonely man walks alone on the street with an unsheathed sword in his arms. Then the upstairs and rooftops on both sides of the street were like dumplings, and some of the characters who were sent to death jumped down, and then the killer brother smiled coldly, he didn't even have to unsheath his sword, and he cleaned up those dragon characters with three punches and two feet, and even the hairstyles were like a strong hairspray, and there was no mess. In the end, he had a lonely expression of "being alone and seeking defeat", and slowly disappeared from people's sight......
