Erda said in a deep voice: "Gongsun Xingshou, let me remind you one last time that this person's origin is unknown and his purpose is suspicious. It is best not to take him away. If you insist on taking this person away who contradicts me and is disrespectful to me,
All consequences will be borne by you."
Gongsun Xingshou and An Xingshou looked at each other, pressed their hands on their chests, and bowed in salute: "Master Erda, please give me a price. We are willing to pay you compensation for this Han."
Erda said coldly: "Gongsun Juan, An Tong, for the sake of that noble man, I have always been tolerant of you, but you should not challenge my bottom line. No one dares to touch my forehead on the grassland.
Erda is rude, this Han dares to contradict me like this, it cannot be solved by giving money."
The leader named Gongsun Juan frowned slightly and said, "Then what does the leader want to do?"
Erda's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "For the sake of both of you, I can let him go temporarily. As long as he apologizes to me, I will let him go."
Leader An looked at Liu Yu and said with a smile: "Brother Canglang, did you hear it? Our leader said, as long as you..."
Liu Yu didn't wait for An Tong to finish what he said, and shook his head: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize? A true man stands between heaven and earth, and his integrity is more important than anything else. If he loses his dignity against his will, he will have nothing to do with his slaves.
What's the difference? Even if I go to the grassland, I also want to be a free man. Of course I have to admit when I'm wrong, but if I do, I will never give in to anyone. So, I won't apologize."
At this time, even Gongsun's family members' expressions changed slightly, Erda was even more angry and trembling, laughing loudly and said: "Okay, you stubborn Han, this is your place in the Central Plains, I won't kill you, if you get to the grassland,
I will let you know what price you have to pay for your integrity and dignity!"
As he spoke, he said in a deep voice: "Okay, you two leaders, you can leave. I have to meet other Han people here, so I won't keep you here. Remember my words."
Gongsun Juan sighed, and An Tong saluted Erda, turned around and walked out of the shed. Liu Yu, on the other hand, took Murong Lan's hand and turned around without looking back. Erda's eyes were
A flash of cold murderous intent flashed, and a servant with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks came over. Erda whispered: "It seems that Gongsun Juan and An Tong are determined to go against me. You go to Hetao now and find
That lord."
Liu Yu and Murong Lan followed the two leaders in front and walked to a secluded corner. Six or seven guards stood on all sides to separate the crowd. Gongsun Juan turned around, looked at Liu Yu, and sighed: "
Canglang, you are a strong man, very rare among Han people, but you are too brave. Erda is the number one businessman in the grassland and has been Liu Xian's money bag for many years. If you offend him, there will be no good results."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Since you two dare not offend Erda, why did you bring me here and say this to me? If I am right, the person you two are loyal to is not Lord Liu Xian, right?
.”
Gongsun Juan's expression changed, and when he was about to speak, An Tong said calmly: "I have long seen that you are different from others, but since you conceal your identity, I don't want to ask further questions. When you want to say something,
Naturally, they will tell me and our lord Gongsun Aqian (the Xianbei people call their sworn brothers Aqian, similar to Anda in Mongolia in later generations), so don't embarrass them."
Gongsun Juan frowned slightly: "An Tong Aqian, you are knowledgeable, I will leave this matter to you, but remember not to cause trouble for our lord."
When he said this, he glanced at Murong Lan who was next to Liu Yu, curled up the corner of his mouth, hesitated to speak, or just waved his hand and left with a few guards. In the corner of the fence, only Liu Yu and his wife were left.
Together with An Tong, these three people.
Liu Yu looked at An Tong and said: "Who is your lord? He actually dares to let you directly fight against Liu Xian's money bag, Daxing Shou Erda?"
An Tong said sternly: "You don't need to know this for the time being. Gongsun Aqian said that you will cause trouble for our lord now, so I can't accept you directly, but I respect you as a person and can take you to the grassland and the Dugu tribe.
, if you can survive on your own and prove your ability, maybe our Lord will officially take you in."
Murong Lan suddenly said: "An Xingshou, your lord is Young Master Tuoba?"
An Tong's expression changed and he looked at Murong Lan warily: "Who are you and what do you know?"
Murong Lan smiled slightly: "If my prediction is correct, your leader An should be the general in the palace of Dayan, the nephew of Duke An. And your Gongsun Aqian must be the former chief of the Dugu tribe, Liu
Kuren’s wife, Gongsun’s brother, is Gongsun’s wife, right?”
An Tong's expression became serious: "Yes, my name is An Tong, just as you said. The ancestors of my family are from the Parthian Kingdom in the west. During the Han Dynasty, the ancestors of our family were Princes of Parthia and came to the Han Dynasty as envoys.
Unexpectedly, the misfortune of the family and the country was destroyed. From then on, he stayed in the Central Plains and took An as his surname. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the world was in chaos. My grandfather and late father fled to Liaodong. They were protected by the Murong family, and then they took over the Central Plains and became officials in the palace.
General, how do you know these things?"
Murong Lan sighed softly: "Although we are mountain people, we also have some friends who know the power of the world. There were officials from Qianyan who fled here in the village and told us some things, and we are willing to go north to the grassland.
, I also heard that many Han people were protected there, such as your Gongsun Aqian, whose sister was sent to the Dugu tribe by Fu Jian as a marriage partner, and became the wife and concubine of Lord Liu Kuren, and the Gongsun family also
Gongsun Xi was a general in his rapid rise, and he once defeated Murong Chui's Yan army. Gongsun's family members were talented merchants and had been traveling to the Central Plains for many years for the Dugu tribe. We all know this. I guessed it when the two of them met just now.
One or two."
An Tong said with a smile: "You are indeed not ordinary people. It seems that taking you to the grassland is the right choice. Since the words have come to this point, I don't have to hide it. Gongsun Aqian and I now have a new master, that is
The young master Tuoba you mentioned. When Liu Kuren was there, Gongsun Aqian was very important. But now that Liu Kuren is dead and Liu Xian is in power, Erda, who has been with him for many years, is used as the head of the army. Therefore,
We have to find another source of support."
"Although Young Master Tuoba is young, he is the eldest grandson of Dai Kingdom and the most legitimate heir. His mother is in the Dugu tribe, and he himself saved Murong Chui, the Lord of Yan, in the Central Plains. The deeds of the young hero are as follows.
Even no one on the grassland knows that since he returned to the grassland, there has been an endless stream of people joining him every day, and Gongsun Aqian and I are also determined to assist him and achieve something great."
