One Thousand and Sixty-One: The Legendary Iron Eater Legion (3)
The brawny man was on a mission on behalf of the Gaoyue clan, and Jiang Pengji, as the lord, should dismount in person. How could there be any reason to sit on the horse and shrink into the crowd?
Could it be that he is greedy for life and afraid of death?
Jiang Pengji heard the unkindness in the other party's words, and frowned impatiently.
She doesn't have the habit of "the two armies don't kill each other when they fight". Whoever provokes her will be killed if she is killed.
Jiang Pengji went straight to the point, "What did the people behind you tell you to say? Just say what you have to say——I don't like guessing."
The strong man's complexion changed, as if he couldn't bear Jiang Pengji's neglect, but he didn't forget the business, "My lord asked me to bring a message—in order to stop you, Meng's side invested two million pennies and twenty thousand cattle and sheep. But we The Gaoyue tribe doesn't like disputes, if Liuzhou Mu can afford a higher price than the Meng family, in Qianyan County, Liuzhou Mu can come and go freely without a single soldier, the Gaoyue tribe will do what they say!"
The Meng family only promised to give one million guan and 10,000 cattle and sheep, and when it came to him, the amount was doubled.
From the appearance of this strong man, the audience in the live broadcast room guessed his identity.
After listening, they were dumbfounded.
[Reading and listening to music]: The legendary Gaoyue tribe who can control beasts? It felt like they were dressed like their brothers from an African tribe - but what did he mean by that? The Gaoyue clan took the Meng family's reward, turned around and sold the Meng family?
[Orange Jelly]: This operation is really exciting!
[Dugu Fengye]: 666, Meng Zhan suddenly feels sorry for him, does he know that his dog is so "loyal"?
[Shanshanshuishui]: If you can buy a victory with money, that would be great, but the price is a bit high.
People will always die in wars. If you can use money to win Qianyan County, you might as well use money to open the way.
Of course, there are only a small number of people who have this kind of thinking, and most viewers are very displeased with the double-faced and three-faced tactics of the Gaoyue tribe.
Even if they are mercenaries, they still have morals. What is the Gaoyue tribe?
Seeing Jiang Pengji's silence, the strong man thought she was moved.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Pengji rode forward with a blank face, and the beautiful white face of the horse was magnified in front of his eyes.
"Two million guan and 20,000 cattle and sheep can make the Gaoyue tribe retreat and not get involved in the grievances between me and the Meng family?"
Dabai snorted approvingly, and took two steps around the strong man, as if observing him.
Everyone, Jiang Pengji was so close to the strong man, she raised her heart high.
The strong man said, "Exactly."
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, "I heard that the Gaoyue tribe is good at controlling beasts, have you ever heard a word?"
The strong man's attention was attracted by Jiang Pengji, and he didn't pay attention to Dabai.
"What words?"
At this time, Dabai had already circled behind him, found a good angle, selected a target, and raised his horse's hooves high——
"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant like a snake!"
Before the strong man could scream, Dabai's two front hooves walked back and forth on him several times.
Dabai's steps are very elegant, but when he lands on someone, it hurts him to death.
Although it was not a heavy horse for heavy cavalry, its weight plus the scales on its body was quite impressive.
Every time they step on it, everyone can hear the sound of bones being crushed.
Soon, the body of the strong man envoy was full of blood, and he lost his breath in a blink of an eye.
"Drag it on, burn it! This person was covered with unknown powder, which caused Dabai to become violent. Alas—it's a pity to die."
Wei Ci and the others: "..."
Who would believe such a lame reason!
Knowing that he is fierce?
hehe--
"It's fine if the lord doesn't want to, why bother letting Dabai trample him to death?"
Their lord killed someone, what else could they do?
At most, he would teach her a lesson afterwards, and then help her destroy the corpse.
Anyway, in the wilderness, they just refuse to admit that the Gaoyue tribe sent envoys.
As for how the messenger died?
Ask them, they don't know.
"I'm just angry that the Gaoyue people think of me as a fool, but I don't know that I am the biggest fool." Jiang Pengji said plainly, "They wanted to trick me into paying two million guan in silver and twenty thousand cattle and sheep.
Blackmail a sum and break the contract. Even if they don't break the contract, they just give up Qianyan County, but there is no guarantee that we will pass through Qianyan County, and they will not take the opportunity to cut off our food team. We went deep into the hinterland of Cangzhou, and the food line was cut off. Are we waiting for death? How dare you bring this disgraceful method in front of me? Who will give them the courage to play big swords in front of Guan Gong's gate? "
Although people in ancient times paid more attention to reputation, reputation also depends on the object.
The Gaoyue tribe obviously wanted to cheat, so they first cheated Jiang Pengji of a sum of money to lower her defenses, and then beat her.
Insatiable!
How dare you show off such a small trick in front of her?
When Jiang Pengji was still a genetic soldier, she often received multi-faceted spy missions, not to mention this kind of pediatrics, she had seen all kinds of routines.
She frowned and said, "Remember to clean up the corpse, so as not to spread a bad reputation."
This incident was just an episode, the army passed through the pass and entered the territory of Luofengwu.
Choose a good garrison, and set up camp for the army.
On the other side, the Gaoyue tribe never waited for the envoy to come back, deeply suspecting that something happened to their envoy.
After waiting for a few days, they couldn't sit still, because Meng Zhan urged them to delay.
The plan to blackmail Jiang Pengji could only reluctantly be shelved.
"It's weird—why don't you see the scouts from the Gaoyue tribe? Could it be that they really want to give up Qianyan County?"
According to the reports of the scouts, the Gaoyue tribe was stationed in Luofengwu, but no enemy scouts were found along the way.
This is very unreasonable.
"The Gaoyue clan is good at controlling beasts, and there is a secret art of controlling beasts in the clan. This is not a rumor." Meng Hun raised his head and glanced at the sky, and there was a chirping sound from high above, as if an eagle was flying by high in the sky, "Don't you think In the past two days, have there been many sightings of birds near the camp?"
Feng Zhen realized instantly, "Could it be—"
Meng Hun nodded, "These birds are the scouts of the Gaoyue tribe, and they are their eyes and ears."
Just as he was talking, Wei Ci came in from outside the tent with a pale face.
Jiang Pengji was thinking about something, when she heard the commotion, she raised her head and glanced, a fierce look flashed in her peaceful eyes.
"Zixiao, what happened to your hand?"
Wei Ci didn't expect to be discovered so soon, and smiled wryly as he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his hands wrapped in white cloth.
"Accidentally bitten by a black-stalked snake, fortunately it is not poisonous."
Bitten by a snake?
The ancient times were not the audience's world, and snakes, insects, rats and ants were very common.
When the army is stationed in the wild, accidents often happen that soldiers are bitten by poisonous snakes and beasts.
Wei Ci said so, Feng Jin beside him said, "Zi Xiao was also bitten?"
"and also?"
Feng Jin said, "In the past two days, Jin has often received news that soldiers have been bitten by snakes and insects. There are already hundreds of wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks."
Most of them are non-venomous snakes, but there are also a few poisonous snakes that see blood and seal their throats.
Not only that, but the scouts who went out also said that they have encountered many snakes and insects recently.
Everyone's hearts tightened, and Meng Hun and Meng Heng immediately thought of the Gaoyue tribe.
They came from the Meng family in Cangzhou, so they knew very well that the Gaoyue clan's ability to control beasts was much better than what was recorded in the books.
"Gaoyue made it?"
It is not uncommon to find things like snakes and insects in military camps, so no one suspected them at first.
However, who let Wei Ci be the one who was bitten this time?
If what bit him was not a non-poisonous black-headed snake but a poisonous snake like Zhuyeqing——
Jiang Pengji's expression was serious.
Royal beast?
Gaoyue?
hehe--
