Chapter 120: Peace or War?
"And what did you bring with you?" Nanlou asked in a deep voice.
Liu Xiu raised his head, his chin was slightly raised, with a bit of frivolity that made Nanlou very unhappy: "I brought the kindness of Lord Assassin Shi with one hand, and the anger of Lord Captain with the other hand." β
Nanlou was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Ti Tuo jumped up, pointed at Liu Xiu and shouted: "Han dog, you are so bold, dare to speak to adults like this, aren't you afraid that Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head?" β
Liu Xiu squinted at him, and then looked at Nanlou again, although Nanlou was a little annoyed by the move, but at this time he was silent, waiting to see how Liu Xiu coped.
"Dare to ask your lordship, is this person a subordinate of your lord?" Liu Xiu's tone couldn't hear a single fluctuation, and it was as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Nan Lou couldn't figure out his details for a while, raised his hand and twisted his beard like a steel needle, hesitated for a moment, and then squeezed out a smile: "Since you are here, of course it is my subordinate, could it be that you are from the Captain's Mansion?" β
"Since it's your subordinate, then I haven't wronged you." Liu Xiu hooked his fingers, and Yang Feng and Lan Lan pushed the angry Fengxue in. As soon as Feng Xue, who was blond and blue-eyed and slender, appeared in the hall with anger but did not reduce the charm, the Wuhuan people sitting around suddenly straightened their eyes, and the young Lou Lu was even more stunned. Of course he knew who it was, but at this moment, he couldn't open his mouth.
"Do you know this woman?" Liu Xiu asked lightly.
Nan Lou shook his head, pretending to look at Liu Xiu with a blank face, but there was a little drumming in his heart.
"This is the righteous daughter of the Xianbei Niutou tribe, and the fiancΓ©e of Huai Zong, the son of the Xianbei King Tanshi Huai." Liu Xiu took a step forward, turned around and slowly paced in front of Tito, looked directly into Tito's eyes, and said word by word: "This woman appeared in Ningcheng with Huai Zong last month to spy on our army's military intelligence, and later prepared to ambush us in the area of Mingji Mountain, and was captured by me. And the one who brought her and Huaizong into Ningcheng was your subordinate Ti Tuo Haoshuai and the servant of Qiu Liju, the master of Liaoxi. The one who took them to Mingji Mountain was the little handsome Lu Anhou of the Bailu tribe, I want to ask my lord, Mingji Mountain is not the pastoral area of your Wuhuan people, how did Lu Anhou appear there, and how could this subordinate of yours be with Xianbei Prince Huai Zong and bring him to Ningcheng, is someone hiding from the king, or has he been allowed by the king to act on the king's orders? β
He turned his head and took a step towards the difficult building: "The captain is very angry, I hope the captain will give a reasonable explanation, so that I can go back and calm the anger of the captain." β
Liu Xiu's tough attitude caught Nanlou by surprise, and after a short period of stunned, Nanlou was furious and sneered: "I want to know how to calm the anger of the captain." β
"It's simple." Liu Xiu raised two fingers: "One, the Lord will hand over Tituo and Lu Anhou to me, and I will take them back to Ningcheng and hand them over to the Captain to send them down." This is the duty of the Captain of the Wuhuan Guard's Mansion, and I think the adults must be able to understand it. β
Ti Tok laughed angrily: "What a big breath, what if I don't go?" β
"If you don't go, then prepare soldiers and horses, use the war knife in your hand to win the power to speak, and when the time comes, we will fight to the death, I hope you and Lu Anhou can run fast enough, if you are lucky, you may be able to pick up a life."
"Hahaha......" Tito laughed loudly, his face flushed with laughter: "The two thousand cavalry in the Captain's Mansion are not enough for me to take off one person to stuff my teeth." I'll see if you run away or I run away. Without my Wuhuan Jingqi, what are you Han people, do you really think that you are the pride of the grassland, and you can compete with us on the grassland? β
"Hahaha......" The dozen or so Wuhuan people next to him laughed in unison.
Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and glanced contemptuously at Nanlou, who did not laugh with Tituo and the others, but there was some disdain in the corners of his eyes: "Is this what the adults mean, or is it just the meaning of your subordinates?" β
Difficult to stroke the beard silently. When Titok saw this, he became even more emboldened, and shouted: "You don't care who he means, I think it is important that you still think about how to escape for your life." β
"No wonder you Wuhuan people don't take the Captain's Mansion seriously. Yes, there are only 2,000 cavalry in the Captain's Mansion, but don't forget, my Han is not only the Captain's Mansion, but also Youzhou, not only Youzhou, but also Jizhou and Qingzhou, not only the Captain Camp of the Guardian of Wuhuan, but also the General Camp of Duliao and the Battalion of Yuyang......" Liu Xiu said several garrisons in the frontier in one breath, and finally looked at Ti Tuo coldly: "How many Wuhuan people are there in Shanggu, are there 100,000 people?" β
Ti Tuo sneered-for-tat: "You seem to have made a mistake, not only there are Wuhuan people in Shanggu, but also Wuhuan people in Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Youbeiping." β
"Hehehe......" Liu Xiu laughed very presumptuously, as if he had heard some joke, until he got rid of his impatience, he said: "I know Lord Juliju in Liaoxi, I heard that he is very interested in the salt and iron of Yuyang. β
When the difficult building next to Leng Yan heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled. There are two places in Youzhou that make the most money, one is the Hu market in Ningcheng, and the other is the salt and iron in Yuyang, the Hu market in Ningcheng is the share of the monopoly of the difficult building, and most of the benefits of the salt and iron in Yuyang are also difficult to build, it is precisely because of these benefits that he can become the richest adult among the Wuhuan people, Qiu Liju has always been very dissatisfied with this, he has put forward several opinions to Liu Yu, saying that the salt and iron of Yuyang should be shared by the Wuhuan Lord Wu Yan of Youbeiping and his Qiu Liju, and it should not be allowed to take advantage of the benefits of Nanlou alone. Nanlou knows his thoughts, Wuyan only has more than 800 falls, and Qiu Liju has more than 5,000 falls, second only to him Nanlou, saying that it is shared with Wuyan, in fact, it is exclusively owned by him Qiu Liju, but because Liu Yu has not agreed, Qiu Liju has not succeeded.
Compared with Hu Shilai, Yuyang's salt and iron are not only profitable, but also directly related to the strength of the adults in each department, without iron, there will be no weapons, without salt, what is the use of having more money?
Qiu Liju wants to profit from it, or is this kid trying to fool me? Nanlou thought nervously, and glanced at the henchman next to him. He got up, stood up and asked deliberately disdainfully: "My lord just said that Qiu Liju's subordinate Zi Dun also has a share, don't you go to Liaoxi to seek justice?" β
Liu Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, touched his chin, as if he was thinking about whether to say it or not, and after a while, he said hesitantly: "I naturally want to go to Liaoxi, but instead of seeking justice from Lord Qiu Liju, I ...... Instead, discuss something with him. β
Yan Jie and Nanlou glanced at each other, and suddenly became nervous. They all knew that Qiu Liju was very uneasy about Badun, and he wanted to pass on the position of Lord Liaoxi to his son Lou Ban, but Lou Ban was too small, and now he could just walk, which was much smaller than Lou Lu, the son of Nan Lou. Liu Xiu wants to go to Liaoxi, but he doesn't ask Qiu Liju for justice, so naturally he wants to seek justice from Qiu Dun, and then think of Qiu Liju's mind of wanting the benefits of Yuyang salt and iron, isn't the problem obvious.
Nanlou was frightened into a cold sweat, and exchanged glances with Yan Jie, who quickly turned the conversation and said: "Just now the Lord said that there are more than 100 horsemen in Mingji Mountain who are ready to ambush the adults?" β
Liu Xiu said very annoyedly: "Yes." We have to be cautious, or my head may be hung on your gate. β
"My lord, I'm afraid you're mistaken." Yan Jie said with a smile: "It's true that the White Deer Tribe is a subordinate of our adults, but the White Deer Tribe does not have a total of 100 men, women and children, how can there be a hundred elite horsemen?" My lord, I can guarantee that either it was not Lu Anhou, or he was kidnapped, so he had the audacity to go against the adults, but these have nothing to do with us adults. β
Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Yu Jie with some disbelief, and then looked at Nanlou: "Adults don't know?" β
Nanlou stood up and nodded majestically: "Lu Anhou is getting bolder and bolder, and he dares to do such a thing without me, it's just impatient." Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate immediately, and I will definitely give justice to you. β
