Chapter 200: Exquisite Country
"Good!" Daniel Zhang threw "my device" on the ground and arched his hand, "Under Daniel Zhang, there were many offenses before, please forgive the young patriarch." β
"It's easy to say, hahaha." It was clear that the army was wiped out again, but Thorin did not seem very depressed, which he may not even be aware of.
The competition finally ended, and in the end, only Thorin and Qiang were the winners.
The sad face hung on the face of every Rongdi person, and the "I" soldiers were also so tired that they collapsed to the ground, and they had not yet breathed.
Ying Zheng first found Meng Wu, and then brought a cadre of courtiers to the gladiatorial arena.
Thorin, Qiang, and the three elders were all gathered together.
Ying Zheng looked at Solin and asked with a smile: "How is it, how do you feel about these outnumbered sergeants, how is their combat power?" β
Solin no longer had the arrogance and arrogance he had before, nodded to Ying Zheng, and arched his hand: "I didn't expect that the soldiers of Great Qin are so strong, we will bow to them." β
Ying Zheng has long understood that the best way to deal with these Rongdi people who advocate force is to defeat them by force, so that they will be convinced.
This is also one of the reasons why Ying Zheng arranged this competition.
"Why, don't you think Qin Jun is playing with conspiracy?" Ying Zheng asked with some ridicule.
Thorin shook his head very seriously and said, "We did fall for the trick before, but that was because we were still inexperienced, and our analysis of the situation on the battlefield was not clear enough, so how could we complain about others. β
"Oh?" Ying Zheng's brows moved, "I haven't seen you for a few days, it seems that the young patriarch has figured out a lot of questions." β
Indeed, for the past three days, Thorin has been discussing countermeasures with the Qiang, and also analyzing the current situation and the relationship between the two countries.
After all, what Qiang said that night opened up many of Thorin's thinking pathways, and also made many confusions gradually become clear.
"Hehe, no matter who goes through such a big battle, they will grow a lot." Suorin said very magnanimously, "The results of this competition have been out, and the entire Yiqu clan has been defeated, waiting for the fall of King Qin." β
Ying Zheng put away his smile and said: "It's okay to get the hair, it's just that you won the competition with Qiang, but you are not in the ranks of the hairfall, let's say, what reward do you want?" β
Suolin said righteously: "Thank you King Qin for your kindness, but the warriors of Yiqu and the Qiang tribe are trapped because of Sorin, Suorin will not abandon the clansmen, and is willing to wait for the fate with the clansmen." β
Qiang also walked out, and said awe-inspiringly: "I am also willing to listen to the fate with my clansmen." β
"Hahaha......" Ying Zheng laughed, "The two young patriarchs with such backbone, don't you really want to hear what the widow will reward you?" β
Thorin was about to say no again, but Qiang tugged at his sleeve.
Just as he was about to exit, he was swallowed back by Thorin.
Of course, Ying Zheng saw Qiang's movements, so he said in a mysterious way: "Is this the first reward, the widow wants to give it to one of you." β
Probably thinking that Ying Zheng was going to give him a stunning beauty, Thorin's brows furrowed slightly, looking a little impatient.
I saw Ying Zheng wave his hand, and a sedan chair appeared from behind the crowd, which was carried by several sedan chair drivers to everyone.
The curtain of the sedan chair was slowly moved by the sedan chair driver, and when the faces of the people in the sedan chair appeared in front of everyone, Rong Di and everyone were dumbfounded.
"Grandfather!"
"Old Patriarch!"
The people of Yiqu rushed up and surrounded the sedan chair.
Yu Tu in the sedan chair smiled and walked out of the sedan chair tremblingly, but his eyes seemed to be moist: "Old man, I thought I would never see you again." β
Imagine the Chinese network
"Old patriarch, you, your illness, are you really cured?" The three elders couldn't believe that Yu Tu had healed so quickly, as if they had met in a dream.
"Yes, grandfather, really...... Is that you? Thorin's lips trembled.
Since Yu Tu fell ill, Thorin has been under too much pressure, and now that he sees his grandfather again, the bitterness in his heart suddenly gushes out.
Yu Tu touched Solin's cheek and said softly: "Good boy, of course grandfather, this time, I have worked hard for you." β
Feeling the temperature of Yu Tu's palm, two lines of hot tears flowed uncontrollably onto the back of his hand, not knowing because of the release
The pressure in his heart was still Thorin's joy when he saw Yu Tu wake up.
Yu Tu wiped away Sorin's tears with a slightly trembling hand, and said softly: "Good boy, don't cry, it's not time to really cry, unless, you are not satisfied with this 'gift' given to you by King Qin." β
Solin was amused by Yu Tu's words and smiled: "Okay, grandson don't cry, this reward from King Qin is really precious, and it is the biggest praise that grandson has received in this life." β
The four elders had just recovered from the shock and asked urgently, "Old Patriarch, is it really King Qin who saved you?" β
Yu Tu nodded and said: "King Qin's subordinates are full of talents, this little illness of the old man must be nothing, if it wasn't for King Qin inviting the old man to watch your competition, I must have come to meet you two days ago." β
The three elders bowed to Ying Zheng and said, "The old man thanks King Qin for saving his life. β
There were three elders taking the lead, and almost all the Yiqu people bowed down and bowed.
Although they are a little unaccustomed to this kind of etiquette in China, they understand the principle of following the customs of the locals.
"Thank you, King Qin!" Thorin saluted with great sincerity.
"Hehe, it's just a gesture, you don't have to care." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"For King Qin, this matter may be a trivial matter, but for Yiqu, this is a major matter for the whole clan." The three elders said.
"Not bad." The four elders also said, "Such kindness, Yiqu will definitely know that the kindness will be repaid." β
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "The old patriarch got sick because of his resentment against the widow, and it is natural for the widow to heal him. β
Of course, everyone knows the cause of Yu Tu's illness, so they all feel that the grievances are very reasonable.
"If this first reward is satisfactory to the two young patriarchs." Ying Zheng paused slightly, and then said, "Then the widow has to give a second reward." β
Rescuing Yu Tu and handing it over to Solin is already a great surprise for Yiqu, but King Qin actually said that there is still a reward?
"However, before the reward, according to the agreement signed before, except for Thorin and Qiang, everyone else became slaves and was left to the disposal of Great Qin." Ying Zheng's voice cooled a little, "Are you willing to obey the Entente now?" β
When the three elders heard this, their faces immediately sank and they didn't make a sound.
Thorin and Qiang are also discolored.
Only Yu Tu seemed to have guessed something, and said to Ying Zheng: "When the agreement was signed, although the old man was not present, Rong Di dared to act boldly, and what he said and did naturally counted. β
"Good!" Ying Zheng sighed and said, "Then in this case, these tens of thousands of Rongdi people are already the slaves of Great Qin, and they are left to be settled." β
The three elders gritted their teeth, although they were unwilling, they couldn't say anything.
Ying Zheng raised his voice and shouted to the Rongdi people on the other side: "Rongdi slaves of the widow, now, the widow wants to give you to the warriors who won this competition, Thorin and Qiang, from now on, you are the slaves of the two of them. β
Everyone was stunned, and the audience was silent.
About five breaths later, a burst of jubilation erupted in the place where the Rongdi people were.
Until now, how could the Rong Di people not understand what King Qin meant.
Obviously, it is to ask everyone to fulfill the agreement, but in fact, it is to return the disposal rights of everyone to the two young patriarchs, which is equivalent to letting all the Rongdi people go, and there will be no accountability.
What a trick to indulge in!
The faces of the three elders immediately turned cloudy and clear, and they burst into laughter.
Thorin couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and hugged Qiang.
What the two of them are most worried about is the safety of all the Rong Di people, and now Ying Zheng's announcement is equivalent to letting all the Rong Di people go, and at the same time confirming the absolute status of the two in the clan.
Yu Tu was even more overjoyed, and thanked Yingzheng again.
After everyone cheered for a while, Ying Zheng waved his hand, and the scene gradually quieted down.
"Although the widow gave the two warriors so many slaves, the widow is also very worried that Thorin and Qiang will not be able to support you who have nothing to eat." Ying Zheng said loudly.
Everyone held their breath and listened very carefully to what Yingzheng was going to say.
"Widows
I feel that the northern part of Longxi County belongs to the territory of the original Yiqu, and most of the Qin people look down on that kind of barren land. Ying Zheng said with some amusement, "Therefore, the widow will give it to Thorin to feed you idlers." β
Everyone was stunned, including Thorin and Qiang.
Even Yu Tu opened his mouth widely, as if he was about to faint again.
What's going on?
If you release someone, you still have to send another piece of land?
Ying Zheng no longer shouted to the people below, but turned around and asked Thorin and Qiang, "Are you satisfied with such a reward?" β
Only then did the two of them come to their senses and nodded again and again like chickens pecking rice.
Ying Zheng came to Yu Tu's side again and asked, "Is the old patriarch still satisfied with this matter?" β
Although Yu Tu was happy in his heart, he was also worried about what conditions Yingzheng would put forward again, so he suppressed the joy in his heart and arched his hand: "The old man is willing to sit down with King Qin and talk in detail." β
"Okay." Ying Zheng took a few steps forward and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, "Old patriarch, please." β
Yu Tu nodded and stepped into the sedan chair.
Suorin, Qiang, and the three elders all followed Ying Zheng and Yu Tu to the Qin army's tent.
Meng Wu ordered people to bring a few chairs, and then stood tall behind Ying Zheng.
After sitting down, Yu Tu said straight to the point: "What King Qin said today is that it is indeed a blessing for Wu Rongdi to be generous and heroic, but I don't know, did King Qin have this intention a long time ago, or did it happen on a whim?" β
Ying Zheng knew that Yu Tu was tempting, so he didn't answer directly, but sighed lightly and said: "The widow knows that what the old patriarch has been thinking about in his heart is the festival between this Great Qin and Yiqu for nearly a hundred years. But looking back on the past hundred years of my Great Qin, since Shang Jun changed the law and became rich and strong, conquered Shu, destroyed Ba, and annexed Hexi, even the Yingdu of Chu is in his hands. β
"And these former countries and city-states, which one of them is not now where the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials work hard to govern the country, and no clan or country rebels or flees because they are afraid of the rule of Great Qin."
"It is true that the strength of a country is accumulated little by little by annexing its weaker neighbors. But this is precisely to end the continuous war, and to return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world, a stable and stable life. β
Speaking of this, Ying Zheng was a little moved, he took out the contract he had signed with Solin, put it lightly in front of Yu Tu, and then said: "The sincerity that should be shown, the widow has already shown which way to go, please ask the old patriarch to decide." If you want to go back to fight again with labor and money, then the widow will accompany you. β
What should be thought, after Yu Tu woke up, he had already thought clearly. I saw him push the contract back to Ying Zheng with his hand, and said very solemnly: "King Qin is too worried. In the future, instead of going to war again, Yiqu will call itself Qin Min. If the King of Qin does not give up, we are willing to return to Longxi and build this old land together! β
Yu Tu's tone was loud and sonorous.
"Good!" Ying Zheng said, "The widow welcomes the people of Yiqu to go home at any time, but is this title of the king of Yiqu ......?"
It is impossible for a kingdom to have two kings.
"Huh." Yu Tu smiled and said, "The old man has long stopped calling himself 'this king'. Compared with those false names, it is more important to have a way out for the clansmen. β
"It's best for the old patriarch to think like this." Ying Zheng said, "The widow will make you the Duke of Yiqu, the title will be inherited forever, and the fief of Longxi will be given to ten thousand households." β
The duke is the head of the title, and his status is above the marquis of LΓΌ Buwei.
Before the male lords of the countries failed to claim the throne, they were all crowned dukes by the Great Zhou royal family to establish the country.
Ying Zheng sealed Yu Tu as the Duke of Yiqu, which shows the importance attached to Yiqu.
Yu Tu laughed: "Then thank the king." β
Yu Tu's name for Ying Zheng has also changed.
Thorin was overjoyed to see that his grandfather had finally reached an agreement with Yingzheng.
Unexpectedly, Ying Zheng looked at Solin and Qiang, and said very seriously: "We are of the same age, and the widow also admires the two very much, why don't we be called brothers in the future?" β
Yu Tuha smiled: "Wow, King Qin is the oldest, so don't call him brother soon." β
Thorin and Qiang didn't think about it, knelt down on one knee, and arched their hands: "Brother to meet brother!" β
