The moonlight is cool and the light of the sword is cold.
In the midst of the army that was full of killing intent, a middle-aged man slowly stepped forward. In the light of the torch, a pair of triangular eyes flashed with a sinister cold light. His heart was full of doubts. The palace was heavily guarded and his combat power was unparalleled. How could he be defeated so quickly?
How could it be possible? It was Soga Ezo, the prime minister of Japan and a powerful minister of his generation.
I originally thought I could do something in the chaos, but now it seems I have to adjust my plan. Soga Ezo's pupils shrank when he saw that it was indeed Yamabeko brother on the wall, and asked: "Why are you here? Who are they?"
The language was in Japanese, and Qin Huaidao couldn't understand it. He looked at the translator, who quickly explained.
Brother Shanbei became even more excited when he heard the voice and said: "Father, all the advance troops are gone, and I am the only one left. They are the Tang army. Please take revenge, father."
"Tang Jun?"
Soga Ezo's expression changed and he shouted: "How is it possible? It's okay for the Tang army's navy to be jumping around on the river. How dare they go to sea, let alone come here."
"They are really Tang troops." Brother Shanbei was anxious.
"Shut up." Soga Ezo scolded and looked at the other people on the wall. He didn't recognize any of them. They were dressed as ordinary people and didn't look like soldiers. He shouted loudly: "Who are you?"
The latter sentence was in Tang dialect which I was not very proficient in. I could barely understand it. Qin Huaidao hid behind Brother Shanbei and looked ahead vigilantly to avoid cold arrows. He saw that several more armies were coming to support him. If he didn't deal with it as soon as possible, he might not be able to leave.
, we can’t think that we won’t leave after we attacked Tubo.
There were originally 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight Tibet, but now there are only 2,000. There are not enough people to defend it.
With a certain determination in his heart, Qin Huaidao shouted: "Su Ga Yi Yi, listen up, hand over the people you kidnapped from the Tang Dynasty, no less, pay 10 million taels of silver, hand over the letters exchanged with the Li family of Zhao County, and the three
No one of these conditions can be missing, otherwise I will kill both of your sons."
"How dare you?" Soga Ezo yelled angrily.
In negotiations, the competition is about momentum, who is more ruthless and decisive than the other.
Of course, Qin Huaidao would not let the other party control the pace of the negotiation, not to mention that Brother Shanbei was vicious, vicious, and heroic. Such a person must not be retained, otherwise he would be a big problem in the future. He pulled out the dog-legged knife from the outside of his thigh and chopped it with all his strength.
"Pfft!" He raised the knife and dropped it, and one arm was cut off.
"ah--"
Brother Shanbei let out a heart-rending scream, his face was hideous in pain, and he was sweating like liquid.
Qin Huaidao pressed the opponent against the wall, unable to move, and shouted with murderous intent: "Suga Ezo, think about it before you say anything. Next time it will be your head. If you don't believe me, try it. If you want to save your son, make a decision as soon as possible."
, otherwise he will bleed to death soon."
Decisive, domineering, and unquestionable!
Soga Ezo was shocked by this very spicy method. It was too illegal. Shouldn't the hostages be kept in hand for negotiation? How could they negotiate if they were killed? But after all, he was his own son, his own son, and he could not ignore death.
What's more, he is his son who he likes the most and who is most like him, the future successor of the family.
Endless anger welled up in his heart, mixed with grievance, helplessness, and angrily yelled: "What on earth do you want?"
"Wrong answer." Qin Huaidao was about to cut off the other arm.
"Wait a minute." Soga Ezo realized that he still underestimated his opponent's ability and shouted quickly.
The dog-leg knife was as fast as lightning and stopped suddenly, but it still penetrated three points of the flesh. It was cut off again a little slower. Qin Huaidao looked at the opponent, with a posture of continuing to attack if he disagreed.
You must not be soft-hearted in negotiations during extraordinary times, otherwise you will not be able to hold back.
"I can release people, but it takes time. Many people have already given them away, and some are going to mine..."
Qin Huaidao didn't want to wait, not to mention that the other party might not be stalling for time. He shouted: "If no one is seen before dawn, the negotiation will be terminated. If there is one less person, the negotiation will be avoided."
A tough attitude towards rescuing people is to make the other party have illusions and doubts, thinking that their biggest purpose is to save people, and other compensation and letters are just incidental.
"We won't be able to raise this much money before dawn, and the letters have already been burned." Soga Ezo continued to test.
"Pfft!"
The dog-legged knife suddenly appeared and chopped off the other arm.
"ah--"
Brother Shanbei screamed in pain and fainted.
Qin Huaidao said murderously: "Wrong answer!"
"Without my hand, life would be worse than death, you are so cruel." Soga Ezo was so angry that he almost fainted. If he didn't just test it, if he didn't agree, he could say that negotiation was just asking for a high price and making a counteroffer.
Not to mention Soga Ezo, the others were also shocked by Qin Huaidao's iron-blooded tactics. This was not a negotiation, it was clearly a coercion. He was at a disadvantage. He was surrounded by a large army and yet he was so strong. This man was too ruthless and should not be messed with.
Emperor Shuming's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he had compromised before, otherwise the corpses of his family would have been cold. Such a ruthless method would definitely lead to the annihilation of the clan.
Qin Huaidao heard Soga Ezo's anger and unwillingness. Seeing that Brother Yamabei had lost his hands and could not be saved, he was ready to give up. He was not worried. It was all in the plan, leaving Brother Yamabei to wait until now.
It is necessary to disturb Soga Ezo's state of mind and gain the initiative in negotiations.
The next moment, Qin Huaidao put the dog-leg knife across Brother Shanbei's neck and said coldly: "Soga Ezo, do you mean that this man has no hands and is a waste, and there is no need to save him?"
Soga Ezo was so angry that he wanted to rush up and tear Qin Huaidao to pieces. Although he didn't want to save a dying man, he couldn't show his intention, so he simply refused to answer.
The ruthlessness of this generation of heroes is undoubtedly evident.
However, Qin Huaidao was more ruthless and iron-blooded. He killed Brother Shanbei with one knife and threw the body away.
The culprit who looted the coastal areas of Chuzhou, Haizhou and Yizhou died like this. He fell down like garbage, without his hands, and died tragically.
The soldiers in Wolf Camp and Tiger Camp were filled with tears and excited.
The great revenge was avenged, the murderer was executed, and the family could rest in peace. Even if they died in the Japanese war today, it was worth it. Everyone looked at Qin Huaidao, full of gratitude and respect.
"Bring Su Woru Lu." Qin Huaidao was as iron-blooded and domineering as ever.
The lives of two thousand brothers depend on your own thoughts, so you must not be lenient.
Soon, someone escorted Su Wo Rulu over. Su Wo Rulu saw Brother Shanbei being killed with his own eyes. He was so frightened that he was afraid of following in the same footsteps. He quickly said: "Sir, please spare your life, we have agreed to cooperate."
Qin Huaidao blocked Soga Ezo in front to prevent cold arrows, pushed him to the city wall so that the people below could see him, and then shouted loudly: "Suga Ezo, you have two sons, one is dead, and the other is dead. Continue, think about it.
Answer again, you only have one chance."
"Baga..." Soga Ezo was so angry that the three corpses jumped up and were about to curse. Suddenly, he thought of what happened just now, so he suppressed the curse and shouted quickly: "Wait a minute, we have something to discuss."
Qin Huaidao's sword had already been raised, but he was one step too late to cut it down.
Seeing that this was indeed the case, Soga Ezo saw that the other party was too ruthless. He would attack if he said anything wrong without discussing it at all. He almost lost another one, so he quickly said: "We really can't raise ten million taels of silver before dawn, but three million at most."
Two, but I can replace it with gold, silver and jewelry, totaling more than five million taels. Or if you give me a little more time, I should be able to get it together before noon. Please be kind to me."
Qin Huaidao was just asking for a high price to confuse the other party. He didn't expect that he could actually get a sum of money. He was worthy of being the most powerful family in Japan, a country that produced silver, and was rich. He shouted: "For the sake of your sincerity,
Then gather up five million and I must read it before dawn. Where are the letters?"
"The letter is still there, please give it to me." Soga Ezo was ready to compromise.
A person next to him reminded him in a low voice: "Clan leader, is it inappropriate?"
"Shut up and save people first. This is the Japanese state, not the Tang state. How can he still escape? So what if he escapes? Writing to him will only cause chaos within the Tang state, which will be beneficial to us. You go back quietly to deploy and prepare for the sea
Intercept them and rob them all, including their people and their money. The majesty of the family cannot be insulted." Soga Ezo ordered in a low voice.
"The patriarch is wise." The other party's eyes flashed and he quietly retreated.
Qin Huaidao didn't know Soga Ezo's plan and shouted: "Go and get ready."
After saying that, he pushed Su Wo Rulu to Luo Ying next to him and warned: "Keep an eye on him."
Luo Ying nodded solemnly, pulled Su Worulu aside, and ordered a few people to take special care of him.
Qin Huaidao came to Emperor Shuming. There were several reinforcements coming from outside. They had to be dealt with. He said coldly: "Suga Ezo will kill you regardless of your life or death. I want you to die. I can collect tens of millions of taels of silver in one day.
The strength is not simple either. If you die, Japan will fall into his hands. Are you interested in cooperating?"
"What do you want?" Emperor Shuming asked coldly.
After a simple rhetorical question, Qin Huaidao heard that the other party was tempted and suggested: "There are several reinforcements coming from outside. Are they all loyal to you? When I get what I want, you and I will join forces and attack from both sides to kill Su Wo.
How about the family guard?"
Emperor Shuming remained indifferent and remained silent.
To be silent is to acquiesce, to acquiesce.
Qin Huaidao smiled, with a wise light shining in his eyes. The Su Wo family could not really kill them, but they had to kill them, all in order to leave alive.
