Chapter 223: Provocation
The man lowered his head in contemplation, and Li Ning pursed the corners of his lips imperceptibly.
shook his sleeves and arranged the tea set on the table neatly, seeing that the man still couldn't make up his mind.
The disdain in his eyes became more obvious, and he coughed lightly and continued.
"It's better for a strong man to make a decision early, I heard that this newly appointed general is not worse than Zhao Fengnian, and now you are delaying in Kyoto, missing the opportunity, and then you want to invade the grasslands in the north, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
The man's brows tightened, and he glanced at Li Ningdu with some impatience.
"Let me think again."
After hesitating for a few more seconds, his eyes looked at Li Ningdu with some fierceness.
"You're in such a hurry to let us leave Kyoto, maybe it's because you want to repay the benefits you promised us?"
Li Ningdu was a little displeased: "We Bishui people do business, what we pay attention to is integrity, since we have promised to cooperate with you, the promised benefits, we will not give a penny." ”
The man stood up, as if he had made up his mind.
"It was better to do so."
As soon as the words fell, he threw off his leather robe, didn't say hello, and staggered out of the house.
Jiuchen, who was sitting behind Li Ningdu, got up and moved away from his father.
Moving his body and rubbing out, it seems that he can't stay and wants to go out.
Li Ning sighed: "You give me a little to stop, it's not at home now." ”
Jiuchen hung his head, sat back with a wilt, opened the information that had not yet been sorted out, and lowered his head to write and draw.
Li Ning snorted, got up and stretched his hands and feet.
"This Beique, sooner or later, will be defeated in the hands of Da Lan."
Lijiuchen moved his ears and raised his head.
"How does Father know, he has been fighting for decades, and he has not been able to distinguish a winner or loser, and Beique's strength should not be underestimated."
Li Ning decided to put down his moving arm and looked at Li Jiuchen with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"You can see that, it's not too stupid."
"In the past, it was true, the tribes of Beique were able to concentrate their forces to deal with Dalan, but now they seem to be scattered, among the tribes, they only think about the immediate interests, even if they can take the land from Dalan, they will fight because of the uneven distribution of spoils."
"In the past, Da Danyu could still be suppressed, but now, it is not worth mentioning, if there is no civil strife in Beique, it is possible to earn a high fortune with Da Lan, but at the moment, there is no suspense."
Li Jiuchen nodded understandingly, and Li Ningdu continued.
"Why is Da Lan Shengshang in a hurry to restore diplomatic relations with Bishui at this time, just to raise money to take Beique in one go, how can I Bishui follow his wish so easily."
Li Jiuchen swallowed his saliva, thinking of those businessmen who were waiting for the two countries to trade and make money, he felt a little sorry.
Those who bought land and invested money on the soon-to-open docks should be very disappointed.
At that time, these grievances will probably be counted on the head of the Great Lan Sheng.
I heard that Rui Xue also bought a lot of land for the pier ferry, if she knew that her father was planning to do so, she didn't know how she would react.
Li Ning decided to straighten his clothes and called Ah Kite.
"Ah Kite, you go and prepare a few gifts that you can handle, just pick from the things we brought, and when the barbarians in Beique are gone, I will go to see the children left by my sister." I can't be too stingy as an uncle. ”
Ah Kite nodded in response, and Li Jiuchen couldn't sit still.
"Father, I'll go with Ah Kite, I know what my cousin likes."
Li Ning glanced at him, and Jiuchen shut up aggrievedly.
Besides, the strong man of the northern gate who left, although he changed his strategy, still failed to complete the purpose of coming to Kyoto in the final analysis.
Before leaving, you have to try it again.
The leader personally led the team, three or five big men, and turned into King Ning's mansion in the dark.
But because the house is too dilapidated, it took half a day to step on the trap and find a courtyard that is still a little popular.
In the cold night, the light is bright, like a ghost fire, flickering and dimming, and it looks particularly terrifying.
This time, they had already suffered a lot of injuries from the trap alone.
The leading man, scolding and scolding, and the treacherous people of Dalan will make these conspiracies.
But I forgot that they were obviously going to carry out poisoned assassination.
Looking at the courtyard with lights not far away, the man hesitated.
Come in, I don't know if it's a trap set just for them.
If you don't enter, then these injuries are not in vain, and just as I was hesitating, the dilapidated wooden door creaked open.
In the silence of the night, the sound was particularly terrifying.
Two figures, one tall and one short, walked out with a lantern.
The man in the lead only felt that there was a gust of wind sweeping on his back, and the hand holding the knife was oozing sweat.
The rest of the people bowed down and looked at him, waiting for him to give an order.
The man swallowed his saliva and refused to give the order for a long time.
He was afraid that the person was Zhao Fengnian, and the fear of being dominated by the Northern Shura on the battlefield hit his heart again.
It wasn't until the two figures were out of sight that the man exhaled softly, for fear that the movement would be too big, and led the figure who had walked away to turn back.
As soon as he calmed down, a bird's cry not far away startled him.
Gritted his teeth and spit out one: "Withdraw." Word.
Probably trying to save some face, he whispered angrily.
"This place is evil, Dalan is too insidious, let's not follow their way, and when we go to the battlefield in the future, let's fight with them with real knives and guns, sooner or later, let them know how powerful our Beique is."
A few people nodded yes, running faster than a rabbit.
On the big banyan tree in the middle of King Ning's mansion, the frightened wind took in all this, and spat it very disdainfully.
jumped down in three or two clicks and knocked on Zhao Fengnian's door.
There was a brazier burning in the room, and Qi Qilu was already asleep on the couch.
Zhao Fengnian sat under the lamp, lowered his head and wrote something, and didn't look up when he saw the frightening wind coming in.
"Let's go, before fifteen, clean the yard, the princess is coming back, don't make her feel uncomfortable."
The frightening wind replied: "How did the general know that they would not come again." ”
Zhao Fengnian put down the pen and turned his wrist, which was a little sore.
"General Gu is about to set off, and the herdsmen in Beique are about to move the pastures, if they still want to seize power from Da Danyu, they shouldn't waste time in Kyoto, and it's only right to go back and integrate their forces."
The words fell and blew the ink of the booklet, carefully closed it, and handed it to the frightening wind.
"You hand this over to General Gu tomorrow, it should be of some help to him to deploy troops in the north."
Frightened Wind took the booklet and put it in his arms, and added a few more pieces of charcoal to the brazier.
"The general rested earlier, and no one should come here today."
After leaving the house, I jumped a few times and went to a few places on patrol duty, explained to my brothers, and then went back to the house to sleep.
