Yu Dingyuan returned to Shaxian again, but this time he came in as a guest, and he was carried in.

He also had a rope tied to his body.

Yu Dingyuan was carried all the way from the city gate to the county government like a pig, and the surrounding people crowded onto the road, watching the former Shaxian county lord - the military camp and the county governor's mansion in Shaxian County were burned to the ground, only the county government was still preserved, I don't know if it was deliberately to stay and humiliate Yu Dingyuan.

"General Yu, don't come unharmed?" Xu Wenshan was in the county office, sitting in Yu Dingyuan's original position, and asked very easily, and after a while, as if he remembered, he said pretendly: "I asked you to invite General Yu in, but I didn't ask you to tie him in!" How dare you be so rude to General Yu! ”

The thunder tiger at the bottom said innocently: "Chief, didn't you mean ......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Wenshan interrupted him and said, "It's okay, the tiger has to be in a hurry." ”

Yu Dingyuan was loosely tied, rubbed the sore muscles on his body with difficulty, and whispered: "Cai Guogong's envoy is already outside the city, and the minister, as the advance envoy, has come to ...... with Zhu Hero, discuss negotiations. ”

Xu Wenshan waved his hand and said, "It's rude." Then I made a request: I lack a few family members in my family, and you need to give me as many slaves as you got in Shaxian County before. ”

Yu Dingyuan was stunned for a moment, slaves are not a big deal, they will be given, as long as he doesn't open his mouth and cut a piece of land to go, the slaves should be added to him. It's just that as soon as he opens his mouth, it's a slave business, I'm afraid that he will not make a big move next?

"Hmm...... And then, I want a knighthood. Xu Wenshan said.

Sure enough, he still wanted a fief. Yu Dingyuan thought to himself. He pretended to be embarrassed: "Zhu Daxia is not from Cai Guo, and the fief is probably ...... This one...... We do not have a tradition of giving foreigners their own fiefs. ”

Xu Wenshan said: "Fiefdom? I don't want a fief, just give me a fictitious title. ”

"Void Lord?" Yu Dingyuan almost laughed out loud, what's the use of this guy asking for a virtual lord? Go back to bragging?

But with such good conditions, why don't you hurry up and agree? However, Yu Dingyuan still steadied and said, "Are there any other conditions?" ”

"No, just these two."

"What about this county?"

"I'll give it back."

"Money?"

"Return."

"Then you ......"

"Since I have become Lord Cai Guo, I will naturally abide by the laws of Cai Guo and contribute my own strength to Cai Guogong from now on."

Yu Dingyuan was dizzy, this is too easy to get away, right? Why did you get entangled with this guy until now?

However, if you readily agree like this, it does not meet the basic rules of bargaining. Yu Dingyuan pretended to be embarrassed: "Then I...... First, go back and ask the messenger for instructions. ”

After Yu Dingyuan left, Lei Laohu asked worriedly: "We want them to have a knighthood, will it make Cai Guogong angry?" ”

"Anger? He didn't have time to laugh yet. ”

……

Cai's envoy was better than expected, and in the formal negotiations, he agreed to Xu Wenshan's request. not only promised to help him make up a slave group of more than 3,000 people, but also promised to help him send people to send the slaves back. As for the knighthood? This is all trivial, seal you a county man, and you can open the knighthood ceremony in minutes.

Xu Wenshan was not ambiguous here, but he still kept an eye on it: the city can be returned, but it must be returned after the knighthood ceremony, and the military salary can also be returned, but it must be returned in thirty-six installments. Under the arguments of the envoy, Xu Wenshan finally agreed to change the return of 36 installments to 18 installments, and the repayment would be completed within half a year.

The talks ended smoothly, and the envoys of Xu Wenshan and Cai Guogong spoke highly of the talks, saying that the talks were peaceful and satisfactory to both sides. The envoy spoke highly of Xu Wenshan's ability and sincere patriotism, and Xu Wenshan said that the negotiations allowed him to see Cai Guo's sincerity and laid a solid foundation for future friendship between the two sides.

The envoy turned the results of the negotiations into a letter and asked Cai Guogong, who readily approved it. At the second negotiation, the two sides happily scheduled the investiture ceremony to take place three days later.

That night, Xu Wenshan carefully reviewed his second trip to Shaxian, thinking about it, a little ridiculous.

Originally, I just wanted to get a lot of labor to go back, but I didn't expect that now by mistake, I actually stabbed Cai Guo's front line, and I also learned about some of Cai Guo's domestic situation.

But I'm also dancing on the edge of the death line, and I'm lucky enough. Otherwise, he will damage the deer and crane guards he has trained for a long time, and at worst, he will expose his identity as a demon cultivator.

After receiving this batch of slaves, Xu Wenshan decided that if it was not necessary, he would never go out of the mountain again, and he would develop in the mountains for twenty years to ensure that Luhegou could become Luhe City, and a group of monsters under his command would definitely be able to ensure their survival after they had been well developed.

Xu Wenshan fell asleep deeply, he hadn't slept so soundly for a long time.

……

In the early morning of the third day, the scent of unnamed flowers floated in the air. Every time you smell this floral scent, it indicates that more than half of the summer has passed.

Xu Wenshan dressed neatly and walked out of the door, the children in the city ran and frolicked inside and outside the house, and the bluestone road shuttled between the vendors who got up in the morning to sell.

Li Dazhuang had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when he saw Xu Wenshan coming out, he bowed down and said, "It's going to start." ”

Xu Wenshan nodded, walked out, and suddenly bumped into a child next to him, the child grinned, holding a Shura mask in his hand, and pushed the mask into Xu Wenshan's hand with a smile, and said, "Give it to you." After saying that, he ran away with a "knock knock".

Li Dazhuang smiled: "We lived in the city for a few days, and the people here liked us a lot. ”

Military discipline is good, and the people naturally like it. Xu Wenshan was about to hand the mask to Li Dazhuang, when suddenly his mind changed, and he thought: He had been to Shaxian County as "Xu Cong" before, and some people may still remember their faces. Later, at the knighthood ceremony, many people may come to watch, and if they are recognized, it will be troublesome.

Xu Wenshan put on his mask and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Li Dazhuang was a little puzzled: "This is ......"

Xu Wenshan said: "You can add some mystery. ”

The two walked to the square where the knighthood ceremony was agreed, which was originally a vacant piece of land in Shaxian County, and at this time a drill platform was set up, and under the protection of half Cai soldiers and half Luhe soldiers, all officials and generals sat here. Sure enough, there were some people around to watch the knighthood, and Xu Wenshan secretly said that he was wearing a reasonable mask.

"Zhu Daxia, please come to the stage." The envoy of Cai Guo, who presided over the knighthood, smiled and said authentically.

Xu Wenshan put down the mask he was wearing on his head and walked to the stage. The messenger was surprised and asked, "What is this mask?" ……”

Xu Wenshan simply said: "I don't want to be too ostentatious. ”

The messenger nodded, and began to read out the edict.

Just as the messenger was impassioned, two uninvited guests came.

This man and woman were wearing Taoist robes, floating in, after the surrounding people saw the two, they all knelt down respectfully, and after the officials were wrong, they were waiting to be reprimanded, and when they saw the figures of the two, they also knelt down and said: "Immortal Chief." ”

The male Taoist priest smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite, we are just here to see the excitement." The female Taoist priest only yawned, and seemed to have little interest in it.

Xu Wenshan broke down in a cold sweat at that time - there were actually two Taoist priests in Shaxian County, and he didn't know it!

Moreover, these two Taoist priests, looking at the momentum, are at least above the Dan period.

When Xu Wenshan looked at the male Taoist, the male Taoist's eyes also happened to look at him, and the eyes of the two collided together, Xu Wenshan only felt a "bang", and the strings in his head seemed to have been plucked by someone, and his blood was suddenly churning.

He actually felt that he was about to break through!

When he first came to Shaxian, he had a faint feeling that he was going to break through, and he has been suppressing the level since then, but he didn't expect that as soon as he made eye contact with this Taoist priest at this time, his realm showed signs of loosening!

Discovered? It doesn't seem to be.

Xu Wenshan's mind was in a mess, he didn't remember what happened to the knighthood ceremony afterward, and he finished the process in a daze. He could only hear his own breathing, and the voices of the people around him seemed to be separated by a layer, and he couldn't think about the meaning of what was happening in the outside world.

Li Dazhuang walked over and said, "Chief, they said that there is a celebration banquet to be held next, please attend." ”

How can Xu Wenshan have the leisure time to attend the banquet at this time? was ready to refuse, but the other side said that he couldn't refuse, because he was the protagonist of the banquet.

At this time, Xu Wenshan was already on the verge of breaking through.

He didn't know what would happen if he broke through on the spot, and the two Taoist priests, still close in front of him, were staring at him upright.
