Chen Yanzhi had no official position, but his name was definitely not small. All the major princes in the entire Han Dynasty knew about his existence. Liu Bao, as the Zuoxian King of the Southern Xiongnu, certainly had heard of Chen Yanzhi's name.

Liu Bao previously believed that Chen Yanzhi had been deified. People could not have omnipotent existence. But after seeing Chen Yanzhi, Chen Yanzhi's methods made him feel cold.

Especially Chen Yanzhi's calm eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. Standing in front of him, he seemed to have no secret at all.

Before, Liu Bao robbed people's property in Xiliang and Luoyang. He rarely came to Chang'an. After all, Chang'an was the capital of the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bao thought it was not easy to mess with.

No matter how poor the Han people are, they are richer than the herdsmen. At least those people under Cao Cao's rule will not be starved to death again.

Liu Bao always took about a thousand cavalry troops to plunder. Because of his fast speed and destructive power, Cao Cao did not pay enough attention to it.

Gradually, Liu Bao became more and more courageous. Finally, he arrived near Chang'an City. Then there was a scene where he met Cai Yan and Li Zhongyong and wanted to kidnap Cai Yan.

Liu Bao just thought he was not lucky.

If he hadn't met Chen Yanzhi, he would have returned to the territory of the Huns. Liu Bao never thought that if he walked too much at night, he would always meet ghosts. Even if he did not intend to rob Cai Yan this time, he would definitely meet Chen Yanzhi in the future.

Liu Bao took a few deep breaths, forcibly calmed his mind, and said, "Mr. Chen, what do you want?"

Li Zhongyong said to Chen Yanzhi: "Master, there is nothing to say about people like Liu Bao. Why not let me kill him? It is considered to be a breath for the people who have been harmed. It can also give my anger to my aunt."

Liu Bao hurriedly said, "Don't kill me. I can redeem my life with my property."

Use wealth to redeem your life?

Among the nomadic peoples in the grassland, there seems to be such a tradition. Of course, this tradition is generally used by the nobles of the tribe. Ordinary herders are not qualified because they cannot produce so many cattle and sheep.

For nomadic peoples, cattle, sheep, horses are wealth and everything.

Chen Yanzhi smiled and said, "Reden your life? OK. Lord Zuo Xian, how much money is worth of your life?"

Chen Yanzhi's smile gave Cai Yan and Li Zhongyong a peaceful feeling, but in Liu Bao's eyes, it was a devil's smile.

Liu Bao said: "I am willing to fight for one thousand horses, two thousand fat cows, and five thousand fat sheep to redeem my own life."

Chen Yanzhi looked at Liu Bao.

Liu Bao's mind was thrilled and he had a bad premonition.

After a few breaths, Chen Yanzhi said, "Not enough. Lord Zuo Xian, you are a great figure in the Huns, and your status is second only to your uncle. Is the horse, cattle and sheep you mentioned too much belittle your value? Let me tell you a few. If you agree, I will let you go back to the Huns. If you don't agree, next year will be your death day."

Liu Bao said respectfully: "Mr. Chen, please tell me."

Chen Yanzhi said: "Five thousand war horses, ten thousand fat cows, and twenty-five thousand fat sheep."

The property has increased by five times, which is exactly the bottom line that Liu Bao can accept. This is equivalent to half of Liu Bao’s wealth.

Liu Bao gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. Just follow the number you said by Mr. Chen."

Liu Bao felt that he could take half of his wealth in exchange for a chance to survive.

Chen Yanzhi shook his head and said, "Don't worry. I'm talking about ten years, this number every year. Remember, I only want war horses, cattle and sheep, and all other property, I don't want."

Not to mention Liu Bao, even Cai Yan and Li Zhongyong took a breath.

Ten years. Wouldn’t that mean 50,000 war horses, 100,000 fat cattle, and 250,000 fat sheep?

Do the entire Southern Xiongnu have so much wealth?

Liu Bao roared: "Mr. Chen, you are such a lion. You might as well kill me."

Chen Yanzhi said with a gentle look on his face: "Your Excellency Zuo Xianwang, don't be so excited. I have ten years to do it? I believe you can do it. Of course, you can also refuse, and I will not force you."

Liu Bao was struggling in his heart. To survive? Or should he spend ten years to contribute tribute to Chen Yanzhi? This is a question.

In the end, Liu Bao survived and defeated reason.

Liu Bao said, "I can promise you. But Mr. Chen, if I can't get so much money, don't blame me."

Chen Yanzhi said: "I still know the abilities of Your Excellency Zuo Xianwang. You must have the ability to obtain those wealth."

Chen Yanzhi stretched out his hand slightly.

Buzz...

A long sword made a tremolo on the ground.

It was Liu Bao's sword.

The long sword flew into Chen Yanzhi's hands.

Liu Bao's pupils shrank, and it was another way to retrieve objects from the air!

Chen Yanzhi gently flicked his fingers on the sword, and the long sword made a crisp sound.

Chen Yanzhi said, "Zuo Xianwang, did you snatch your sword? You Huns definitely don't have such advanced smelting technology. This is the Baijing steel material used by Cao Mengde's army. Speaking of which, I gave it to Cao Mengde."

The sword forged by Bailian Steel is as bright as jade and is also called "Yugang" by Cao Cao and others.

Liu Bao said: "Yes, this sword was exactly what I snatched."

Chen Yanzhi took the short sword in Li Zhong's hand, and gently stroked the Bailian Steel Sword. The short sword that cuts iron like mud into two pieces.

Chen Yanzhi threw the short sword to Liu Bao and said, "You take this short sword and go to Luoyang to find Cao Mengde. He will give you a batch of excellent steel-making weapons. Liu Bao, I hope you remember that I only want horses, cattle and sheep. If you dare to break your promise and lie to me, I will personally go to the Huns."

Liu Bao said, "I dare not deceive Mr. Chen."

Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "You can leave now."

Liu Bao rode on the horse and quickly left with more than a dozen personal guards.

It was not until Liu Bao and the others disappeared at the end of the road that Li Zhongyong said, "Master, your move is really wonderful. It is a hundred times better than killing Liu Bao directly. In the future, there will be bloody storms in the grassland area."

Cai Yan asked: "Senior brother, why is there a bloody storm in the grassland?"

Chen Yanzhi said, "Let Li Zhongyong explain it to you."

Li Zhongyong said: "Aunt, even if you give the Huns ten years, Liu Bao could not produce so many war horses, cattle and sheep. What's more, Liu Bao was not the Khan of the Huns. With the character of the Huns, he would rob him without any wealth. The master asked Liu Bao to find Cao Mengde to ask for weapons, which is the reason."

Cai Yan understood and asked, "What if the Huns took the weapons given by Cao Cao and killed our Han people?"

Li Zhongyong said: "That's why the master said that as long as horses and cattle and sheep are all there to live in the Han people, and there are no horses and cattle and sheep. If I'm not wrong, after Liu Bao returned, he would soon launch an attack on the Xianbei people and rob the war horses, cattle and sheep and pastures."

As for Liu Bao's words of dare to disobey his master and not pay tribute? Li Zhongyong never thought about it.

Just now, Chen Yanzhi's "god" methods were enough to make Liu Bao "satisfied".

Chen Yanzhi said to Li Zhongyong: "Buried the body and sent hundreds of war horses back to Chang'an. You can search for the property that Liu Bao hid in the valley by yourself, which is a question I have given you. Also, bring a message to Cao Mengde and say that Liu Bao asked him to get weapons. I mean. I want to go to Wuji County again."

Li Zhongyong said respectfully: "Yes, Master."

Cai Yan said: "Senior brother, aren't you going back to Chang'an with us?"

Chen Yanzhi smiled bitterly and said, "I just arrived in Wuji County and before I could enter the city gate, I felt that you are in danger at junior sister. I can only save you first."
