Chapter 500: Last Resort
From a small horsewhip, seeing the past years, and also awakening the memory buried deep in his heart, Liu Huasheng was full of emotion for a while, and was silent for a long time, and Qin Baichuan, who had already left the back camp at this time, also asked Ding Sanshi what gift he had prepared for Liu Huasheng when Tan Jiaotou went to the thatched house, and when he learned that it was the horse whip used by Marshal Yue Xiang back then, he was also surprised.
If measured in silver, a horsewhip is indeed not bullshit, but Qin Baichuan can imagine the meaning of this horsewhip to Old Man Liu with his toes. What's more, Ding Sanshi also told Qin Baichuan that this horsewhip actually fell into the hands of Old Man Liu, and later Old Man Liu lost it on the way to protect Niu Yuan and left Lin'an, and it happened to be picked up by Ding Sanshi.
This time, it can be regarded as the return of things to their original owners.
Qin Baichuan was even more emotional, the horsewhip was lost and recovered, and the impact on Old Man Liu could only be greater. Qin Baichuan cherished and thanked Ding Sanshi, he just took the initiative to leave the back camp, in fact, he also saved the life and death of a bet with Old Man Liu, Old Man Liu may trap him, or he may change his attitude, the victory or defeat is only five or five, but now with this horsewhip as a medium, Qin Baichuan vaguely saw that the balance of persuasion of Old Man Liu had tilted towards him.
After Tan Jiaotou came back from the thatched house, the Qiushan army, who had already led the way, took a few people out of the back camp and walked towards the east chamber, when he passed through an open space, he smelled the smell of meat, Qin Baichuan and others followed the aroma to look, but there was a wooden stake erected in the open space, and there were several snakes hanging on the stake, and an old man dressed as a hunter was skillfully peeling off the snake's skin, pulling out the fangs, and after cleaning it up, he threw the snake into the pot.
"Old Qiu?" After seeing the old man's appearance clearly, Qin Baichuan couldn't help but exclaim, this old man was not an outsider, it was the old man surnamed Qiu who followed Liu Yuanyuan in the previous stage. Speaking of which, since Yuanyuan joined Wangjianglou, I haven't seen this old man for a long time.
"Mr. Qin, you are finally here, and it is not in vain that Miss Miss is talking every day." Old Qiu's voice was a little dissatisfied, but also with great comfort, greeted Qin Baichuan and said: "Come on, come on, there is nothing good in Qiu Mountain, these snakes are caught by the old man himself, and he has boiled a pot of snake soup for you, so that you can drive away the cold, strengthen your courage, and raise enough strength to fight with Liu Huasheng!" β
"This pot of snake soup is for Qin?" From Qiu Lao's tone, he seemed to hear his dissatisfaction with Liu Huasheng, Qin Baichuan laughed, originally he didn't eat snakes, but in the territory of Qiu Mountain, if he was unfamiliar with life, if he could win over Qiu Lao, it would definitely be a rare strength. Thinking of this, Qin Baichuan walked over: "Since this is the case, then Qin Mou is not welcome." β
"You kid, when I was doing something with my young lady, I didn't see you polite!" Qiu Lao's voice was teasing, he tossed the cauldron with a rice spoon, and saw that the snake meat was not yet cooked, so he pulled over the bench and sat down with Qin Baichuan, with a question in his eyes: "Have you seen Liu Huasheng?" β
"I've seen it." Qin Baichuan nodded and said with a wry smile: "Before Yuanyuan entered the door, she told me not to make Old Man Liu angry, but after seeing it, one of them couldn't control it, and the old man was so angry that he was about to cry." β
"He deserves it, he should be angry and cry! This old fellow, the older he gets, the more confused he becomes! For the sake of a broken hill, he actually took Yuanyuan as a gift? Qiu Lao's expression was full of anger, the entire Qiu Shan belonged to him for the longest time and the best relationship with Old Man Liu, and on weekdays, Old Qiu also let him let him, but in the matter of Liu Yuanyuan, the two old men had some quarrels.
"Oh, listen to what Qiu Lao means, and you also don't agree with Yuanyuan's marriage to Zhaowangsun?" Qin Baichuan's eyes lit up.
"Bastards will agree!" Qiu Lao clenched his fists and snorted coldly: "Liu Huasheng thinks that the Qiu Shan Army is the legacy of Marshal Yue, and it must be treated by others wherever it goes, and it is just among the people, but how can this little foundation be taken into the eyes of King Wu?" I have persuaded him many times, but that old guy said that he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, with the protection of Marshal Yue's heroic soul, King Wu would never have other thoughts! Listen, listen, what the fuck is a sergeant can say? β
"Old Qiu's thoughts are the same as Qin's, Old Man Liu is indeed putting the status of the Qiu Shan Army too high." Qin Baichuan nodded: "However, I can also understand that Old Man Liu has a love for the Yue family army, and the pride of being the Yue family army will inevitably make him have some illusions of nothingness." β
"It's just a matter of sitting in a well and watching the sky! He still thinks this is the great ode of twenty years ago? Do you think that the current Qiushan Army is the Yuejia Army of the year? Bullshit! Qiu Lao didn't know how much anger he had accumulated, he was scolding when he spoke, and said angrily: "Don't talk about the matter of King Wu, although his approach is wrong, but the starting point is not bad, but what about the internal transfer of Qiu Mountain?" β
"Internal?" Qin Baichuan hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "What Elder Qiu said was that Yuanyuan's military power was relieved and all handed over to Niu Yuan?" β
"Isn't that what it is?" Old Qiu had a fire on his face: "Mr. Qin, you are not an outsider, and I won't hide it from you, do you know the origin of that Niu Yuan?" β
"Know." Qin Baichuan did not hide it: "It seems to be the descendant of General Niu Gao." β
"Yes!" Qiu Lao slapped the table: "Niu Yuan is a descendant of Niu Gao, but he doesn't have the slightest appearance of General Niu Gao!" can't read anymore, martial arts are commonplace, the key is that he was born with a daughter's heart, and he is the most jealous! Qiu Shan fell into the hands of such people, not to mention that the motives of the Martial King are unknown, even if there is no Martial King to help the trouble, the Qiu Shan Army will definitely perish! β
"You've probably heard about the coastal army, right? Yuanyuan has already ordered to pay close attention to the movements of the coastal army, and at the right time, you might as well help Desheng Gong to maintain the three-legged situation of hills, coasts, and Black Tiger Mountain, how long has this Yuanyuan been away, Niu Yuan, how did Niu Yuan do it? Old Qiu's voice was cold: "It's just that he didn't fucking obey Yuanyuan's orders, but not long after he took charge of Qiu Mountain, he joined forces with Black Tiger Mountain and Fat Water Thief to give Desheng Gong a fatal blow!" β
"Well, now, it seems that it has obtained a small profit from the coastal army, but it won't be long, wait until Black Tiger Mountain raises its spirit, and it will be Qiu Mountain that will be destroyed!" Qiu Lao sighed heavily: "With such a short-sighted person, what qualifications do you have to take charge of Qiu Shan?" What's even more hateful is that Liu Huasheng actually said that Niu Yuan is Niu Gao's bloodline, and it is an inevitable trend to be in charge of Qiu Shan, if you can afford it, you have to help it, and if you can't help it, you have to help it, you say, do you want to be angry with Lao Tzu! β
"It's really infuriating." Qin Baichuan didn't care about Niu Yuan's things at all, and Old Man Liu's approach seemed to be similar to Mr. Kong Ming in "Three Kingdoms Commentary", but it had nothing to do with him.
"Forget it, it's not good for me to say these things to others on weekdays, just complain to you! Lao Tzu also knows, you kid is not interested in knowing this! Qin Baichuan's mood was not high, and Qiu Lao pouted: "However, I also remind you that when Miss expressed her love for you, Niu Yuan was murderous to you, but he didn't have a chance to do it for a long time." This time, it doesn't matter if you can take Miss away or not, if you take Miss away, if the kid is still restless, teach him a good lesson for Lao Tzu! β
"If he dares to come to the door, I will naturally beat him all over the ground looking for teeth." Qin Baichuan didn't dwell on Niu Yuan's topic, and said tentatively: "Old Qiu, can you give me a good move, how can I convince Old Man Liu?" β
"Convince him?" Old Qiu's face stiffened, he got up and made a bowl of fragrant snake soup for Qin Baichuan, sat down again and said, "It's difficult!" β
"What's so hard?" Qin Baichuan asked again.
"Don't come with me, why did Liu Huasheng choose to marry Zhaowang Sun, you should know better than me the reason, right?" Qiu Lao squinted at Qin Baichuan, and said with a sad face: "In the final analysis, although you Qin Baichuan have energy, this energy is not enough, and it is not enough to make Liu Huasheng feel stable!" β
"That's a no-brainer." Qin Baichuan smiled bitterly, even if the other party was the son of the governor of Beijun, he Qin Baichuan also had the ability to coordinate, seeing that it was a dignified martial king, his deterrent power was even stronger than that of the righteous king, Qin Baichuan couldn't speak at all.
"What, it's hard to listen to me, and you're going to give up?" Seeing Qin Baichuan's face embarrassed, Qiu Lao said unhappily.
"Nope." Qin Baichuan shook his head, beckoned Tan Jiaotou and Ding Sanshi to sit down together, and drank some snake soup to warm up: "Not only did Qin not give up, but even I, the head of Tan Jiao, had to coerce Old Man Liu in the back camp just now, and then forced him to let Yuanyuan leave." β
"Yes, it's a bit bloody." Qiu Lao nodded to Tan Jiaotou, from him, Qiu Lao felt a trace of danger, but he didn't feel strange, in Jiangling Qin Baichuan can be regarded as black and white, and it is common to have two more masters around him.
"It's useless to have blood, but Mr. still took us out." Tan Jiaotou drank a big bowl of snake soup, and said with some reluctance. For him, he wished that Qin Baichuan would fight with Old Man Liu, and when the time came, he would use the power of the government to destroy Qiu Shan, but it would reduce a secret rival for King Yi.
"It's not time for a conflict." Elder Qiu could understand Qin Baichuan's approach, and said in a deep voice: "Boy, if as expected, at this time, King Sun of Zhao is already on the way to Qiu Mountain, before he arrives, you still have a chance to persuade Liu Huasheng." With your three-inch tongue, you can't help it, right? β
"I have already analyzed the stakes to Old Man Liu, and now the initiative is in his hands, and it is just a clichΓ© for me to say it again." Qin Baichuan shook his head.
"The clichΓ© has to be said! With your kid's ability, you can't arrange a back road for Qiu Shan? Qiu Lao asked rhetorically.
"Difficult." Qin Baichuan spit out a word, not because he shirked it, but because he was really embarrassed. Old man Liu is prejudiced against the current emperor Zhaoding, even if the court proposes to recruit peace, it is impossible for Old Man Liu to agree, from the perspective of the old man, if he is really chosen between King Wu and King Yi, Qin Baichuan will also choose King Wu, after all, the strength is there.
"You wait two days and try it!" Qiu Lao also knew Qin Baichuan's difficulties, and sighed: "When it is really a last resort, Lao Tzu will have to make the last move!" Yuanyuan will marry Zhaowang Sun on the second day of the first month of next month, and there should be many visiting guests. β
"Uh...... Elopement? Old Qiu's expression was solemn, but Qin Baichuan felt funny. This is indeed a trick that can only be used as a last resort, he took Liu Yuanyuan to run away easily, but Zhao Wang Sun lost face, will King Wu send troops to Qiu Shan in anger? Will you destroy Wangjiang Tower in a fit of rage? These are unknowns.
