Chapter 244 Let him watch!
Two days passed quickly. General Wu Lie of the Tiao Kingdom found some big carts and asked Chen Leng and others to take the cart. Thousands of elite troops of the Tiao Kingdom escorted them to the border town of Xiao Zhaocheng. The Tiao Kingdom and the South Li Kingdom were not close. Nan Li wanted to establish a vassal state, although relatively speaking, it was much weaker than the Tiao Kingdom. However, if the Tiao Kingdom used troops to establish a military force, it would not ignore it. If the Tiao Kingdom wanted to establish a military force, the South Li would also send troops to restrain one side.
Xiao Zhaocheng is a dangerous place for the battles between the country and Nanli in previous battles. It only requires people to attack the country. Nanli people will inevitably besiege Xiao Zhaocheng. However, to this day, they have been besieged dozens of times, and Xiao Zhaocheng has never been broken.
Nanli people are not fools. They just need to restrain the troops in the eastern border of Tiaoguo. Why do they really need to fight the whole country?
The total strength of the entire Nanli Kingdom is almost comparable to the strength of the Eastern Frontier of the Tiao Kingdom, which makes the Eastern Frontier Army unable to rush to the Northern Frontier. Even if the Southern Li people finish what they should do, they can ask for explanations to establish people.
Xiao Zhao City is very large, and behind the city is the straight road between the east and west of the Tiao Kingdom. Following this straight road, you can run to the capital of the Tiao Kingdom in one breath. Therefore, Xiao Zhao City is naturally heavily guarded. Here is the Yongzi Camp, known as the strongest border army in the eastern border of the Tiao Kingdom. In addition to the border troops in various places, the total strength of the East Xinjiang is no less than 100,000.
However, Wu Lie did not look down on the Eastern Frontier Army. He was a general from the Northern Frontier Army. How many times had He Qiuliren killed? Although he was defeated every time... this did not prevent him from looking down on the Eastern Frontier Army, who only dared to play house with the Southern Liren.
Fortunately, Shi Dongcheng behind them has a good relationship with the military, and he has a close personal relationship with Yan Chengli, the general of Xiao Zhaocheng, Dongjiang.
This is the complex relationship between slim countries and countries.
Military generals have military power on the surface, but they have no status. All matters in the court are controlled by civil officials. The emperor of the Tiao Kingdom emphasizes civil officials. Most of the time when military generals go to court, they just stick them as wooden stakes. They just say nothing. Even when they go to war, the emperor will also appoint civil officials as military supervisors. Military generals say that they have military power, but it is better to say that they are the power to train troops. During war, there are mostly a group of military supervisors who have never fought wars to point fingers.
Therefore, the Crown Prince Shi Changhua naturally had to establish good relations with the civil servants. With the support of these important officials in the court, he would not have any obstacles to his succession to the throne at home.
Prince Shi Dongcheng is relatively low-class. Those civil servants were not optimistic about him and were sent to Ningguo as a hostage. Therefore, his only way was to establish good relations with the generals. Over the years, he relied on the huge income of the Yangtai Piao to bribe the generals from all over the world. When he was forced to force him, he still had a fight. His promise to those generals was that if he ascended the throne as emperor one day, he would never let the civil servants interfere in military affairs.
This is naturally a great temptation for the generals of Tiaoguo, but do they really dare to rebel? I am afraid that Shi Dongcheng himself doesn’t have any confidence.
To compare the sizes of the countries, the Nanli Kingdom is as big as a palm, the Slim Kingdom is as big as an arm as a stubborn country, the Shujia Kingdom outside the East China Sea is a thigh, and the Daning and Heiwu are naturally giants.
If the alliance of the Western Regions is a solid wall, it can also be comparable to the giants. If the black martial arts are adjacent to the countries, it can also resist the black martial arts, but how can the country be so solid?
The distance from Xianlai City to Xiaozhao City is not very far. The team was in a vast way, which made Chen Leng and others feel a little incredible that there were a large number of monks walking in the team. After inquiring, they found that monks always prayed for blessings when the war in Tiao Kingdom was approaching, and Zen Buddhism plays an important role in Tiao Kingdom.
What is amazing is that Xunxing is so hostile to the country, both countries believe in Zen.
The cart was moving slowly, and it was four days later to arrive in Xiaozhao City. After entering Xiaozhao City, the team set up camp to rest. Wu Lie asked Chen Leng to wait for a moment. The people sent by Shi Dongcheng to Nanli to contact him were almost here.
In the afternoon, Wu Lie came to invite Chen Leng, saying that the person had entered Xiao Zhaocheng and was now in the General's Mansion. So Chen Leng, Lin Luoyu, Chen Ran and others rushed to the General's Mansion in Xiao Zhaocheng. When they entered the door, there were already many people sitting in the living room.
Seeing Chen Leng coming in, Xiao Zhaocheng City Guardian Yan Chengli and a group of officials quickly got up to greet him. One of the people sitting in the guest seat stood up symbolically and sat down before the ceremony was over, with a slightly arrogant attitude.
Yan Chengli glanced at the man, then introduced to Chen Leng: "This is Gao Kuoyun, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice of the Southern Liguo. He was invited by His Highness to come here to negotiate the rescue of people."
Gao Kuoyun looked at Chen Leng and then picked up the teacup to drink tea. In his opinion, what if Chen Leng is Ning Ren? He is not asking himself that he can come, but to give him the 10,000 taels of face to Shi Dongcheng, rather than to give Ning Ren's face.
Nanli was in the south of the country, and not only separated from Daning from the sea but also from the entire country. Nanli people never thought that Ning people would come across mountains, rivers and seas. Even though it was rumored that Daning was powerful and unmatched, they didn't care.
They can only see the power of Qiuli, but not the power of Ningren.
"Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, negotiate?"
Chen Leng frowned slightly.
Gao Kuoyun took a sip of tea: "This matter is not easy to deal with."
Chen Leng looked at Yan Chengli: "I offended."
Yan Chengli: "What?"
Before they could react, Chen Leng went over and grabbed Gao Kuoyun's collar and raised the man with one arm. Gao Kuoyun was still drinking tea. The tea cup in his hand was overturned, and a cup of hot tea was sprinkled on him. He screamed in fear, subconsciously trying to kick Chen Leng, but there was no chance.
Chen Leng raised his arm and threw it down violently. Gao Kuoyun's back hit the coffee table, smashing the coffee table directly to pieces. In the exclamation of a group of people, Chen Leng pulled Gao Kuoyun's ankle to the outside of the living room. Gao Kuoyun's wailing and scolding seemed so sharp and shrill.
Yan Chengli and Wu Lie were also frightened and their faces changed color, thinking to himself, why is Ning Ren so rude? Isn’t this about negotiating to save people? I came up and beat the people from Nanli Kingdom, how can I discuss this?
The two of them stepped forward to dissuade them at the same time, but they saw Lin Luoyu shook his head slightly at the two of them. The steps they took were stopped at the same time, and they both looked at Lin Luoyu with incredible expressions, thinking that was he just letting it go?
Gao Kuoyun was dragged outside by Chen Leng. Chen Leng waved, and Deweyming immediately moved a chair out. Chen Leng sat down on the chair and looked at the Nanli official who was tidying up his clothes randomly, with disdain in his eyes.
"Take his long gown."
Chen Leng ordered, Chen Ran and Dewey Ming went up to pull out the brocade clothes Gao Kuoyun was wearing outside. The two of them pulled Gao Kuoyun's ankles from left to right and ran in the yard. It would be fine if they just ran straight lines. The two of them turned sharply from time to time. Gao Kuoyun was thrown into a dizzy way. Once, his head hit the railing outside, and he immediately got a big bag.
After a while, Chen Leng nodded and indicated that he could stop. The two of them dragged Gao Kuoyun back.
Chen Leng pointed to himself, and Gao Kuoyun, who was dizzy, was lying down there and begging for mercy: "General, stop, you can discuss anything if you have anything,...hehe, why bother?"
“Stand up.”
Chen Leng said three words in a plain tone. Where can Gao Kuoyun stand up? He fell several times before he could barely stand up. He staggered, looking a little miserable. His clothes were dirty, and the piece on his back had been worn out, and a large piece of skin was worn off, which was red and swollen.
With a bang, Deweym kicked Gao Kuoyun at the bend of the leg, and Gao Kuoyun immediately knelt down with a pounce.
"Remember, General promises you to stand, you can't stand either. In front of Daning, you have to kneel down even if you let you stand."
Dewey Ming went up and punched Gao Kuoyun three times in a row. Gao Kuoyun twisted in pain and ate a few mouthfuls of blood.
"Remember?"
"Remember...remember."
No matter how Dewey Ming and Chen Ran attacked, they never slapped the face, so although Gao Kuoyun's face was extremely different, there was no scar on the well-maintained face.
"Put his clothes on."
Chen Leng ordered, and then a personal soldier went over to put the gorgeous-looking brocade dress on Gao Kuoyun's shoulders.
When I put on my clothes, I couldn't tell that there was any injury on my body. Chen Leng still needed him to go back to Nanli. On the surface, at least he could not leave any suspicious scars.
"What did you just say?"
Shen Leng asked.
What sentence did Gao Kuoyunxin say?... After thinking carefully, I said something before and was dragged out and beaten. It should be that this matter is difficult to deal with.
"This matter is not difficult to deal with."
He nodded quickly and bowed: "Please give me a few days, and I will definitely bring the person back to the general."
"I don't need you to bring people back to me."
Chen Leng said: "I want you to bring me into Nanli Capital."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and their eyes were shocked when they looked at Chen Leng. Everyone kept asking, what was Chen Leng doing? He clearly had the opportunity to rescue the person in an easier way, why did he have to go to Shengtu City, Nanli Capital?
He had already made Gao Kuoyun like this and asked Gao Kuoyun to take him to Shengtu City. If Gao Kuoyun betrayed him, no matter how strong Chen Leng is, no matter how strong his dozens of people under him, the soldiers of Nanliguo in Shengtu City can pile them all to death with their lives. What an irrational decision.
“Is there any problem?”
"General... General... General doesn't have to go into the city, he just needs to wait. I'll send someone to you after I go back."
"You go back? If you kill our people when you go back, you will think that you are still afraid that I will do what I will do when you are back. I have to stare at you... I will bring people back with you. This round trip requires your escort from Gao Daren. If the person arrives safely in Xiao Zhaocheng, I will let you go back in decent clothes. If the person cannot come back, we will die in Nanli, and you will also die with us."
Gao Kuoyun was so scared that he couldn't even kneel straight. He fell to the ground and begged: "General, why bother me so hard? I have promised to send someone back to you..."
"You promised, I don't need it. What I need is to watch my people walk out of your Ministry of Justice, watch them leave Shengtu City, and see them leave Nanli Country. I heard that our people are tortured in your Ministry of Justice every day, and life is worse than death... It would be fine if you and me fight, but Daning sent envoys to give you enough face, but you don't follow it yourself."
