Shortly after taking the fork in the road, Cheng Qiao issued an order to temporarily stop advancing, and the entire team stopped.
Under the moonlit night, Cheng Qiao got off the carriage and walked slowly forward. His subordinates followed the order and brought Situ Wanli over.
Situ Wanli was already injured, and was jolted on the horse by the trap killer. His face was pale and his spirit was a little listless.
Cheng Qiao waved his hand, and the two snare killers responsible for escorting Situ Wanli untied Situ Wanli, and then walked to both sides of the road to be on guard.
Situ Wanli felt a little confused. What did this mean?
Although I felt strange, I could only follow Cheng Qiao for a walk on the wilderness road, blowing the cold wind, and not daring to have the slightest idea of escaping.
According to the previously disclosed handling method, although you will lose your status, you can always save your life. If you run away, you will probably be killed on the spot!
After walking for tens of meters, Cheng Qiao stopped. Situ Wanli stopped quickly and lowered his head respectfully.
"Keep your head up."
Hearing this, Situ Wanli could only raise his head cautiously, with a harmless smile on his face. However, when he saw Cheng Qiao's face, his expression changed. Why did his appearance change?
Human skin mask?
"Do you want to survive?" Cheng Qiao said with a dull expression.
"Of course I do." Situ Wanli said cautiously.
"It's best that I tell you tomorrow. What I said before won't count."
"If you want to survive, you can only choose to take refuge."
Situ Wanli's expression changed after hearing this. Is this asking him to become a spy for the farmer?
"You, the farmer's Qianlong Hall master, don't seem to be doing very well. You don't even know me?"
This prince?
Situ Wanli was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but look at Cheng Qiao's appearance carefully. A name gradually appeared in his mind, and he said with shock on his face: "Yonghou?"
"You are quite knowledgeable and can recognize me."
Situ Wanli smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he not recognize him?
The farmer has suffered such a big loss before, and he is a famous figure in the world. As the master of Qianlong Hall, it would be too ignorant to know what you are like.
"If I fall into the hands of the Marquis, I will not be unjust."
Situ Wanli cupped his fists and saluted, and his self-deprecating words contained a layer of flattery.
"Be loyal to Luo Weng, be loyal to me, and be loyal to the Qin State. I promise to support you to become the leader of the Siyue Hall. If you have made enough contributions, it is not impossible to support you to become the leader of the heroes."
"When Qin conquers the world, you will be indispensable for its glory and wealth."
"What choice?"
Choice? Does he still have a choice?
Either life or death, it seems like there is a choice, but in fact there is only one way, unless he wants to die.
"The Marquis personally promised that if you are stubborn and unresponsive, you will be too disrespectful to praise me. I am willing to change the family."
Situ Wanli's choice was not beyond Cheng Qiao's expectation. Most people in the world are afraid of death.
"Very good. He is a smart man. I like smart people."
"The general trend of the world is vast. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. You will have a bright future."
"Isn't this light that I owe to the gift of the sun of Great Qin?"
"Haha, it's a good thing that you have this awareness." Cheng Qiao chuckled, "It's getting late, you can go back to Qianlong Hall."
Just let him go back that simple?
Don’t you need to pay a certificate of registration or control him in some way?
Situ Wanli was a little confused at first, but he soon figured it out.
They don't bother to use any means, they don't take themselves too seriously at all, they are willing to do the best, but if they don't want to do it, they just send someone to kill them.
My own importance is not as high as I thought. At least for the time being, I am still dispensable and the icing on the cake.
"How to deal with the following matters, you don't need me to teach you, right?"
"I don't dare to trouble Lord Marquis, my subordinates can handle it."
"Just go back and someone will contact you later."
"Come here, send a horse."
"My subordinate understands, Lord Marquis, take care."
Obviously, Situ Wanli entered the role quickly and did not forget to express his loyalty in a caring way.
Soon, the Snare Killer sent a horse, and Situ Wanli rode on it and quickly disappeared into the night...
For a gambler like Situ Wanli, there is no need to use the Five Thunder Control Seal. As long as you make him think that you are always the one with the higher winning rate, he will never betray you.
After dealing with Situ Wanli, Cheng Qiao returned to the carriage and the team resumed their journey.
Near midnight, I returned to a villa about twenty miles south of Nanyang City. The villa was called Qingping Villa. Its scale was no worse than Jade Tiger's Lanxiu Villa and Jade Villa. It was purchased from the nobles of Xinzheng.
After returning to the villa, Cheng Qiao was not in a hurry to rest, but went to see Touman, intending to settle tonight's matters at once.
There are special cells inside the villa, which were expanded from the original ones. This shows that the previous owner of the villa was definitely not a good person.
In the interrogation room outside the cell, the Snare Killer brought Touman in and tied him to a wooden frame, and then left the interrogation room.
Cheng Qiao turned around and revealed his true face. Tou Man was a little surprised when he saw this, but his reaction was not big. It was obvious that he did not recognize Cheng Qiao.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Ying Chengqiao." Cheng Qiao put his hands behind his back and said with an indifferent expression.
Touman just didn't know Cheng Qiao's appearance, but Cheng Qiao definitely knew it. The strong always attracted people's attention, not only the six countries of Shandong paid attention to Qin, but also the grasslands outside the Great Wall.
Although Qin, Zhao, and Yan could not defeat each other, the degree of brutality was still different.
The muscles on Touman's rough face twitched, and he was very shocked. He looked at Cheng Qiao carefully with his eyes as wide as copper bells. He felt that his clothes and temperament really looked like a royal noble, but he didn't completely believe it in his heart.
"What evidence do you have?"
"Believe it or not, do I need to provide any evidence to a prisoner?"
Hearing this, Touman became more convinced. This strong style was just like Qin's style. If you really wanted to show him any evidence, it would definitely be false.
"That makes sense, regardless of whether it's true or not, your purpose here is..."
"Want to die or live?"
"Your Excellency, you are joking. Who wants to die unless it is absolutely necessary?"
"If you want to survive, you have to do things for Qin. Are you willing?"
"Of course I do." Touman said without thinking.
Living is the most important thing now. Although many good players in the tribe died in the hands of the other party, it is nothing compared with their own lives. Only the wolves who survive can get everything back.
If he dies, everything he owns, including the tribe, will belong to others.
"In return, the Qin State will provide certain material support to your tribe. If you have made enough contributions, the Qin State can support you to become the new Wolf King."
"As far as I know, this generation of wolf kings only has two daughters and no sons."
"Although the rule on your grasslands is that the strong are respected, as long as they are strong enough, even a woman can still become the Wolf King, but obviously the combined power of the Wolf King and the Wolf King's daughter cannot reach that level."
"On the contrary, the leader of the big tribe under the Wolf King has a better chance of becoming the Wolf King, and you are one of the leaders of the big tribe of the Wolf Tribe. Although you are not the strongest, you are ranked third at most."
Touman slowly digested Cheng Qiao's words, and became more and more convinced of Cheng Qiao's identity. It was impossible for ordinary people to find out so clearly what happened on the grassland.
"Without external support, you may have to spend a lot of time to become the Wolf King, and you may not be successful."
"On the grassland, there are always winners and losers. The winner takes all. Once you don't succeed, no one will know the consequences better than you."
"The Marquis is right, so I am willing to be loyal to the Marquis and submit to Qin."
"The fact that you can figure it out so quickly means that I didn't choose the wrong person."
"On the day the Wolf King dies, you must hand over the Wolf King's daughter to me."
Touman's expression changed slightly. The daughter of the Wolf King was very important. Whoever could marry the eldest daughter would be considered legitimate and could justifiably command the tribe loyal to the Wolf King. This would increase his power and increase his chances of ascending to the throne of the Wolf King.
If he was handed over to Qin, wouldn't his reputation be ruined if he was discovered?
However, the current situation does not allow him to keep his head down. If he cannot survive, everything will be empty. At worst, he will be sent away secretly.
At that time, all the insiders except him will be slaughtered. In this way, even if the Qin State reveals it, he can deny it or even beat him up.
"It all depends on the Marquis." Touman said with a low eyebrow.
Cheng Qiao wanted the daughter of the Wolf King to come over. Naturally, he couldn't just do it for beauty, and he didn't want to keep it all for himself. He planned to give his sister to Ying Zheng and keep the sister for himself.
If nothing else, Hu Hai's mother is the eldest daughter of this generation of wolf kings.
In other words, the Wolf King's eldest daughter was sent to Ying Zheng's harem, and what should be his brother's is his brother's.
As for Hu Hai, what kind of waves can he make with him?
Everything is different, times have changed, but he is just one of the ordinary young men.
Bringing the two daughters of the Wolf King to the Qin State, there is no symbol. If you want to become the new Wolf King, in addition to winning over people, you have to fight with real swords and guns until everyone is defeated.
If you marry the daughter of the Wolf King, you can directly gain the support of almost half of the tribe. The disadvantage will become an advantage, the balance of power will become a greater advantage, and the advantage will become a victory. How can other careerists play?
Give other careerists a chance!
"Don't do the horse business with South Korea. Do it with Qin. Cattle and sheep can also join in."
When Touman heard this, he felt bitter in his heart. Although the Qin State had a strong military, it was not generous in doing business and calculated very carefully.
Unlike South Korea, there is no counter-offer. If enough benefits are given, the responsible aristocratic officials will even hint at a price increase. As long as the quality is guaranteed, they will make a lot of money every time.
But again, people have to bow their heads under the roof. In order to survive, Touman can only humbly agree.
"It's all up to the Marquis." Touman still said with a low eyebrow.
"Humph, you agree so happily, you are not teasing me, are you?" Cheng Qiao said with a half-smile.
"How dare I? It's to survive now, and to become the Wolf King in the future. How dare I not keep my word?"
Touman's face was filled with a flattering smile. Because he was too rough and rough, his smile was not as good-looking as a straight face, which made people feel a vague instinctive disgust.
Cheng Qiao smiled.
He knew that despite Touman's current appearance as a husky, Touman would turn into a vicious wolf in an instant when he returned to the grassland. He would never be as easy to talk to as he is now. Now he can get everything he wants.
But it doesn't matter, he has prepared many means to check and balance Touman, such as secretly infiltrating Touman's tribe, secretly supporting Touman's opponents, and supporting Chu's opponents if there is no opponent.
If you really don't know how to praise, then you can deal with it.
In the wolf tribe, although it was difficult to lurk in the trap, bribery was still possible. He did not believe that the poor lower class and the greedy upper class could resist the temptation...
The opponent who secretly supports Touman is not to completely defeat Touman, but to make it more difficult for Touman to become the Wolf King and make him rely more on him and Qin.
Today's grassland is not dominated by the wolf clan. There are also Donghu and Yuezhi who are more tyrannical than the wolf clan. If this were not the case, Cheng Qiao would not let Touman become the wolf king.
Facing the unified Donghu and Yuezhi, without the leadership of the Wolf King, it is impossible for the wolf clan to compete with the Donghu and Yuezhi. They will only be beaten violently and eventually be annexed.
Even so, Cheng Qiao still plans to mix sand into the wolf clan, throw sticks, stones, and dig into the walls, so that the wolf clan will not become monolithic.
Donghu, Yuezhi, and Chengqiao will also persuade Qin to secretly provide assistance when necessary. They must not be wiped out by the wolf clan like in history, so as to act as a restraining force.
For the Central Plains dynasty, the most beautiful grassland is the grassland that fights with each other!
The most ideal situation is to wait until Qin has unified the world, recuperates and accumulates strength, and then sweeps away the grasslands that have been weakened by internal strife and weakened in one fell swoop.
Facing the formation of a country, the wolf clan that unified the grassland needs to build the Great Wall. Is it necessary for the grassland to be scattered and full of internal strife?
Why don't you drink from the sea of Ma Han, swallow the stone quickly, meditate in Guyan, and seal the wolf to live in Xu?
For future generations, the Great Wall is a magnificent miracle, but for the present generation, it is an extremely heavy burden, both for the people and the country.
"I am not afraid that you will break your promise, as long as you are prepared to bear the price."
After speaking in a dull tone, Cheng Qiao waved his hand and the rope binding Touman's body broke instantly.
"Since you are willing to be loyal to Qin, you are one of our own until you betray me. Let's go and have some supper with me."
"Master Marquis, my subordinates will not betray." Touman said with a worried look on his face.
Cheng Qiao smiled noncommittally, turned around and walked outside the interrogation room. Are creatures like wolves trustworthy?
Maybe it's worth a try sometimes, but Bad Wolf is definitely not worth it.
Loyalty cannot be said with words. If you say it in a flashy and colorful way, it is just that. Even the more flashy it is, the less trustworthy it is. Only if you lack loyalty, you will talk about it all day long.
Hiss...it's not easy to deal with, that's all, I can only take it slow.
Touman followed Cheng Qiao out of the interrogation room and smelled the strong smell of barbecue when he came outside a palace.
From the smell of barbecue, Touman smelled roasted lamb, roasted beef, roasted fish, and roasted birds. As for more smells, he couldn't smell them and had never tasted them.
After struggling for most of the night, Touman was already ruthless. Being stimulated by this, he swallowed hard and his stomach growled.
Cheng Qiao glanced at Touman, who smiled sarcastically, feeling that he was quite embarrassed and had no future at all.
After just one glance, Cheng Qiao didn't say much. The chefs who entered the palace and were having a barbecue all saluted. Cheng Qiao asked them to get up, and then asked the servants to bring all the warm barbecue and drinks.
Tonight's supper was only for two people. As for the singing and dancing, Cheng Qiao felt that Tou Man was not worthy of appreciating it, so just eating was enough.
The people who serve Touman and him are all male and female servants, they don't exist.
Moreover, Cheng Qiao also asked people to add a trace amount of Mongolian perspiration medicine to the wine. It would be fine if you drank a little, but it would make you drunk if you drank too much.
After feeling dizzy, Cheng Qiao asked the valet to take him to sleep, but the valet threw him on the bed and immediately slipped away.
Cheng Qiao followed closely and entered the room, casting the Five Thunder Control Heart Seal.
The five thunder control mind seals imprinted on Touman are different from ordinary ones. They have the ability to hide and are difficult to detect. Although the overall ability has dropped a lot, it can still kill people once it is activated.
After all, he was the founder of the Xiongnu Empire, the first nomadic nation in the north in history. He was a tyrant of a generation. He was a man of obvious control and restraint. Cheng Qiao expected that Touman would find it hard to accept.
Just don't take that risk, it's just a shame.
