Liu Xin was secretly happy. According to his understanding, there were so many old vines in the mountains that they almost didn't need to be included in the cost, and manpower didn't even cost a penny. But he didn't know that for the poor barbarian tribes, tung oil was already a valuable resource.
A very expensive expense.
He just showed so many ways to deal with Tengjia, in fact, he wanted to force Wutugu to give up making Tengjia, lest he be forced to commit such a brutal crime as slaughtering his entire tribe. In Wutugu, he was suffering.
Liu Xin begged and said that he would never make rattan armor in the future. Liu Xin did not take it lightly, but tried to test his tone by playing hard to get.
Until this moment, Liu Xin was not completely reassured. She pointed to the half-pair of rattan armor on the "body" of the wooden stake and said to Wu Tu Gu: "In that case, I won't force you to make rattan armor now.
Let's wait until you have money later. You can rest assured in this camp to recuperate. After your injuries recover, I will let you go back. There is no use leaving those vine armors here. You will also take them back together when the time comes."
Wutu Gu thought of the tragic scene after the "Tengjia Sheep" was burned by the fire. He couldn't help but shuddered and said resolutely: "Sir, even if you beat me to death, I will never touch that Tengjia Sheep again!"
Liu Xin pretended to hate iron, and cursed fiercely: "You are a useless thing who gives up after a little setback. I don't believe it anymore. If you don't touch that rattan armor, I won't find anyone else to touch it."
Have you? Alas, if I had known that I would have attacked with fire today, three thousand people would have been burned together. It must have been very spectacular. What a pity, what a pity! Come on, take the Wutu bones down, keep this kind of people.
It’s no use, let him go after he’s healed!”
When Wu Tu Gu first heard "It's no use keeping this kind of person", his heart went cold and he thought Liu Xin was going to kill him. Then he heard "Let him go when he's healed", and suddenly there was a thought.
It felt like a narrow escape from death, and Liu Xin's heart was tortured for a while.
Just when the soldiers lifted the stretcher again, Wutu Gu finally let out a long sigh of relief and secretly cursed, Liu Xin, you pervert, you can go to whoever you want to play with. Anyway, I won't accompany you on the matter of Tengjia.
.
Suddenly I heard Zhu Rong say: "Wait a minute! Brother, why did you let him go? He and Meng Huokang colluded and harmed my father. I was about to kill him to avenge my father!"
Wu Tu Gu kept complaining: "Miss Zhu, I just came here today and I haven't even seen your father's face. How can his injuries be blamed on me?"
Zhu Rong said in a deep voice: "Even if my father's injury has nothing to do with you, but you blasphemed the God of Fire, I can't spare you!"
In fact, what Wu Tu Gu is most worried about right now is that he has unintentionally offended Zhu Rong, because his temporary obsession may cause natural disasters to the entire tribe. When Zhu Rong said this, Wu Tu Gu really became afraid.
He said repeatedly: "Miss Zhu, I know that you are the descendant of the God of Fire, but I was deceived by Meng Huo and didn't realize it for a while. From now on, I, Wu Tu Gu, and the entire tribe will obey the orders of Miss Zhu.
If there is something wrong with you, girl, you will never refuse!"
Zhu Rong pondered: "Do you mean what you say? Why should I trust you?"
Wutu Gu pointed to the sky and swore: "If Wutu Gu tells a lie, let the God of Fire bring down the fire and burn all my people to death! Wutu Gu is also willing to send all his children to Zhu's family for sacrifice."
quality!"
The barbarians swear the most solemn oath. When Wu Tu Gu swore with the whole tribe, Zhu Rong nodded, believing that he would never dare to embarrass the Zhu family again in the future, so he said: "Although my father was seriously injured, he was not injured."
Your life is in danger, and in the future the entire Zhu family will still be decided by him. I am just temporarily sparing you on his behalf, and I hope you can take care of yourself!"
Liu Xin did not expect that Zhu Rong, who was usually so carefree, would also have an aggressive and decisive attitude when dealing with clan affairs. She couldn't help but look at her with admiration. After the soldiers carried the Wutu bones out, they said: "Miss Zhu, the Zhu family
As long as you are here, I will never fail. I wish you a good daughter indeed!"
Zhu Rong was naturally happy to receive Liu Xin's rare admiration. However, when he thought about Liu Xin's rejection of the marriage in front of her father in Xiangyang, he became a little unhappy and said: "Since you know that I am a good daughter, you
But why didn’t you keep your word?”
Seeing that Zhu Rong was about to bring up the most troublesome thing for him again, Liu Xin hurriedly looked at everyone, wanting to act like he was talking about him. But Dian Wei held his hands and said: "Brother, there is nothing going on here.
, I’ll take my leave first.”
The other generals had more or less heard the rumors between Liu Xin and Zhu Rong. Seeing that even a rough guy like Dian Wei knew how to avoid it, how could they continue to make candles here, so Zhao Yun and Wenpin
, Feng Lie and others all leaned forward and said: "I will retire at the end!"
Liu Xing was just about to say "wait a minute" when he suddenly heard Guo Jia say with a smile: "My lord, although the Central and South Allied Forces opposite are large in number, most of them are barbarians." With just a few words, Miss Zhu asked the leader of the clan to
Wu Tu Gu has made a solemn oath, and he must have a secret method to defeat the barbarian soldiers. My lord, you might as well ask Miss Zhu for advice."
Guo Jia studied abroad three years ago and followed Liu Xin on an expedition to Guanzhong in the spring of this year, so he did not know much about the affairs between Liu Xin and Zhu Rong. However, this did not prevent him from making a clear judgment. This tall man
The barbarian girl seems to have a special liking for Liu Xin, and she also has a mysterious and special status in the hearts of the barbarians. Knowing these two points, in Guo Jia's opinion, it is much easier to solve the war in Central and South China. As long as
Liu Xin took this girl as his concubine. This girl with a mysterious status will definitely stand firmly on Liu Xin's side, so most of the barbarian people will naturally not dare to fight against Liu Xin anymore.
Since the Han Dynasty has been the most powerful empire in the East for many years, Han people often have a sense of superiority and look down on other ethnic minorities. Guo Jia is no exception. He also has a little bit of Han nationalism. If Liu Xin wants to marry Zhu Rong
If it were a wife, I'm afraid he would jump out and object first, but if Liu Xin just accepted Zhu Rong as his concubine, in his opinion, it would be harmless, and it would be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Liu Xin didn't know what Guo Jia was thinking. Seeing that he could take the initiative to help her change the subject, Liu Xin couldn't help but be overjoyed. She looked at Dian Wei, Zhao Yun and the others with slight contempt, and said secretly, you guys don't have any loyalty at all.
If you don't talk about it, how can you be like Guo Jia? This is a good friend.
Unexpectedly, Guo Jia just paused and continued: "My lord, I think that if Miss Zhu can offer advice, it will involve many unknown secrets within the barbarian tribe, which cannot be heard by others. Therefore,
It is better for the subordinates and others to resign first, and please my lord and Miss Zhu to discuss it slowly and in detail!"
Liu Xin couldn't help being shocked. She didn't expect that Guo Jia would do even better. He directly pushed him to Zhu Rong without even leaving him any room for maneuver. However, Guo Jia's words were quite reasonable.
Dian Wei and the others stubbornly proposed to be stronger. Liu Xin opened her mouth twice, wanting to say something, but finally waved her hand helplessly and asked them to leave.
Hou Qinu couldn't understand what they were talking about, and felt that as Liu Xin's slave, he had the responsibility to stay by his side, so he didn't move.
When Liu Xin saw Hou Qinu standing as straight as a gun barrel, he felt a little moved. It was better for him to be a fool. Unlike those heartless and unjust guys, he really didn't know what to do if he was left to face Zhu Rong alone.
Just answer her.
Suddenly hearing Zhu Rong babble something barbaric to Hou Qinu, Hou Qinu immediately put his hand on his chest and turned towards Liu Xin, Zhu Rong each bowed deeply, turned around and strode outside the tent.
Liu Xin was dumbfounded as she watched the most "loyal" Hou Qinu leave without saying a word. After a while, she came back to her senses and asked: "Miss Zhu, what did you say to him? Why did he just listen to you?"
Yes, you won’t listen to me?”
"I didn't say anything, I just asked him to go find Feng Liexue to speak Chinese. He didn't disobey you, this is something you told him. We barbarian children are all trustworthy, unlike some people,
Zhu Rong curled his lips slightly and said disdainfully, "What you say doesn't mean what you mean!"
In this matter, Liu Xin finally felt a little unjust. He only thought that Zhu Rong was already fifteen years old at that time. At such an age, she could be considered as a "leftover girl" among the barbarians. How could she endure three more years of loneliness?
Who would have thought that she would actually wait for three years and even come to her door?
Seeing Zhu Rong's unhappy look, Liu Xin had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Miss Zhu, I didn't keep my word. Things are not what you thought..."
Zhu Rong interrupted him unceremoniously and said, "It's not true that you haven't said anything yet? Did you promise to call me something in the future? Did you forget it so quickly?"
Liu Xin hurriedly waved her hands and said: "This... this is the Chinese army's tent... Oh, forget it, there are only two of us now! Amei, I will definitely keep my word. I originally planned to wait until the wars in various places are over.
No matter how gloriously I marry you home, I just heard that your Zhu family still has such a rule, and I can't bully others. I'll wait until Meng Huo is solved."
Although Zhu Rong has a straightforward temperament, she is also a girl and has a delicate side. At first, she was very happy when she heard that Liu Xin was going to marry her. However, when she heard about it again, she realized that he was lying and wanted to deliberately prevaricate. Zhu Rong's nose
Sour, big tears fell down, and she sobbed: "Brother, I know you dislike me for being a barbarian woman..."
Liu Xin couldn't bear to see a woman crying in front of him, so she quickly said: "Mei, don't think about it, I don't mean it like this. You also know that I have always promoted the Han-Barbarian family and support Han-Barbarian intermarriage."
Zhu Rong wiped away his tears and choked up: "So, you just dislike me for being ugly?"
Liu Xin kept waving her hands and said repeatedly: "No, no, if you are ugly, then are there any beautiful women in the world?"
Zhu Rong asked reluctantly: "Since this is neither this nor that, what is it for?"
