As soon as the pro-soldier's words fell, everyone, including Mu Lin, immediately turned their faces, and a few people with Mu Lin even drew their bows and were about to release arrows.

Huang Deying was startled when he saw that the two sides were about to start fighting, and hurriedly whispered in Fan Jinyan's ear: "General, there are only three of us, and we will suffer." ”

Fan Jinyan patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to be relieved, and then turned back to the soldiers who had already held the military thorn in his hand and said, "Dashan, don't be reckless. ”

It turned out that this pro-soldier was Wang Dashan, the oldest commando.

He nodded, glared at the woods, and then thrust the general back.

"Mu Lin, lead the way for General Ben!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Mu Lin to lead the way, put his hands behind his back, and walked to the courtyard by himself, but he stunned the tense Shengli people

Soon, Fan Jinyan came to the outside of the largest wooden house in the center, stood at the door, and looked around, and saw two people sitting in the room, one was a big black fat man wearing a black robe of the Li nationality, and the other was a man wearing a gorgeous brocade robe but wearing a mask, it must be that Qin Yuan.

At this time, the two were chatting very happily, and they didn't notice Fan Jinyan at the door at all.

Did you really not see it?

Obviously, he wanted to give Fan Jinyan a dismissal.

Fan Jinyan stretched out his hand to stop the pro-soldier Wang Dashan, who was about to rush up, and Huang Deying, who was trembling with anger, smiled faintly and said, "Is this the hospitality of the Li people?" ”

This was said to the two people who were chatting inside.

When the words fell, the two people inside stopped talking and turned their heads to look at Fan Jinyan and the three outside the door.

"Oh, it turned out that Boss Huang was here, what good things did you bring us this time?" The big fat man directly skipped Fan Jinyan, but said to Huang Deying, who was standing behind him with an angry face.

Huang De's heroic face turned from black to purple, unspeakably ugly, and he no longer had the usual groveling, cautious tone, and said angrily: "Lord Li, this is General Fan, who helped you to slash your enemies and send you high-yield crops, the great benefactor of your clansmen, I didn't expect you to be so neglectful......"

The big fat man squinted his eyes, looked at the young man with a calm face with a small slit in his eyes, and asked suspiciously: "You killed He Yi's Fan Jinyan?" So young? It can't be that he himself didn't dare to come and found a stand-in! ”

In fact, Fan Jinyan was able to kill He Yi and send them high-yield crops, but Shengli was grateful. But their fear of the gods was far higher than this gratitude, and Fan Jinyan was blaspheming their gods by saying that he wanted to arrest Qin Yuan. Coupled with the fact that Qin Yuan himself was here, the big fat man deliberately did this.

"Huh." Fan Jinyan smiled indifferently and said slowly: "Fan doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, and he doesn't need a stand-in." How? It's a guest from afar, and Elder Li doesn't plan to invite General Ben in to sit down? ”

Fan Jinyan didn't call him King Li like Huang Deying, after all, he wouldn't do anything about surrendering his identity.

The big fat man felt that Fan Jinyan was the same as the imperial court, and only recognized the surname of Li Li outside the mountain as the king, so he immediately snorted coldly, and he had no intention of inviting him in.

At this time, Qin Yuan, who leaned on the chair and drank tea, but did not speak, spoke, "You are right, you are a guest from afar, come in!" ”

No matter how you listen to this, it is like a reward, and it makes people very unhappy.

After the three of them entered the house and sat down, the big fat man asked without being salty: "I don't know what General Fan is doing when he comes to my Li village?" But if you come for the messenger, the old man will advise you to save it! ”

Fan Jinyan shook his head and smiled, and said: "General Ben is here for two things, one is that Nanzhou is building a highway connecting the north and south, which will cross the entire central mountain range of Qiongzhou, that is, it will pass through the eighteen villages of the Li nationality, so I want to discuss it with the elders of the eighteen villages. Second, the general heard that the people of the eighteen villages were living in difficulty, so he came to inspect them so as to seek benefits for the people of the eighteen villages. What's more, it was also your mountain ghost envoy who said that he wanted to see General Ben, and since you didn't dare to go down the mountain, I had to reluctantly go up the mountain. ”

"Hahaha......" Qin Yuan raised his head and laughed after hearing this, and then said, "Do you think that trick you have deceived others and me?" Road? I'm afraid that the road construction is fake, and I want to use the road construction as a name to go into the mountains to suppress me! ”

In fact, Fan Jinyan really didn't lie, He Yi once asked him to build a highway connecting the north and south, and after several stoppages, in order to shorten the traffic time between the two places and effectively control the places, Fan Jinyan ordered the construction to start. It's just the relationship between the Han and Li clans, and the highway was built until it reached Dongzhou and then stopped, which is also one of the reasons why Fan Jinyan was alone and risky.

"Waste, the road has been built for several months, and General Ben didn't know you at that time, and he didn't even know that there were Li people living in the mountains, how could he trap you." Fan Jinyan said: "Qin Yuan, let's not talk about your affairs for the time being, but I don't think you don't know the benefits of highway connectivity, right?" If you harm the interests of the people of the Eighteen Villages for your personal interests, then General Ben has nothing to say. ”

Obviously, Fan Jin's words have revealed that I know that you are a traverser, so it's almost overdone, don't go overboard.

"Then I only ask you two things, how do you ensure the food and clothing of the people of the Eighteen Villages? How to deal with the relationship between the two branches in the mountains and outside the mountains of the Li nationality, who is the king and who is the subordinate? Just when Fan Jinyan thought that Qin Yuan would say something else, he heard him say that he was talking about the survival of the Li people.

After listening, Fan Jinyan smiled faintly and said: "It is not difficult to have food and clothing, what policy this general gives to the Han people, he will also give the Li people what policy, without discrimination, without favoritism." As for the internal relations of the Li people, they should be handled peacefully, whether it is the election of the clansmen or the competition of cultural fights, no matter which family the winner is, the imperial court will recognize his position as Tusi. ”

"Jokes." Although Qin Yuan was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression clearly, everyone could hear that his words were full of disdain, "Who can't say beautiful words, and then you won't be partial to the Li people outside the mountain." ”

As soon as he came, he was made difficult everywhere, no matter how good Fan Jinyan's temper was, the Buddha also had a time when he was angry, only to see him frown, and said coldly: "Then what do you want?" ”

"Huh." Qin Yuan said with a look of being stunned: "Simple, as long as you assign all the territory and people of Dongzhou to King Li and recognize his dominance, we will agree to you build roads in the mountains, and we will not disturb other places anymore." ”

Of the four states of Qiongdao, Dongzhou is the largest, with the largest population, and more importantly, it is also a gathering place for the Li people outside the mountains.

Facing Qin Yuan's arrogance, Fan Jinyan sneered: "What if General Ben doesn't agree? ”

"Do you think you can still leave when you're here?" Qin Yuan threatened. (To be continued.) )
