"Ling Hui from Qixing Mountain has met General Pingbei."
Hui Lao lowered his attitude, no longer daring to be arrogant, and bowed to Cao Su honestly.
After Cao Su asked him to sit down, he seemed more restrained.
Zhang Ke retreated, and Chu Ganlin looked embarrassed at the side.
Cao Su opened his mouth and asked deliberately: "Why did Mr. Hui come here?"
Mr. Hui was very skillful in his speech. He first expressed his congratulations to Cao Su.
"Congratulations, general, congratulations, general."
Cao Su was stunned by his joy, and then showed an interested smile: "Where does the joy come from?"
"The general will lead the army northward and will soon achieve extraordinary achievements. It is enviable and deserves congratulations."
Hui Lao returned to his true nature as a warrior, and Cao Su was stunned for a while after flattering him.
Cao Su refused the poisoned milk and said, "Thousands of miles away from Youzhou, it's hard to say victory or defeat. What's the point of envy?"
Mr. Hui was also stunned. He didn't expect Cao Su to be so uneasy about playing tricks.
When generals go on an expedition, don't they always anticipate the enemy's opportunity and declare victory before they win? Why does Cao Su still act like the other way around?
Hui Lao coughed twice in embarrassment. The internal injuries caused by Cao Su's punch did not improve at all, and his lungs hurt from coughing.
Cao Su waited for him to finish coughing, and then said: "If Mr. Hui is fine, go back and rest early. It will be time for the army to set off soon."
Cao Su's negotiation skills were to take the initiative to drive away the other party in order to seize the initiative.
This is a conspiracy. Mr. Hui was already in a weak position, but now that Cao Su has manipulated him like this, he is even more passive.
He said awkwardly: "Don't be in a hurry. My fellow Jianghu people called me here, but they didn't tell me to leave early and rest."
"Oh? Then Mr. Hui, what are you doing?"
Cao Su lost his patience and asked Mr. Hui.
Mr. Hui was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "General, I don't know how long you will keep me in jail?"
"Guan? Have I restricted your movements?"
"This...not really, it's just that the scope of action is limited."
"Didn't I let you eat?"
"This... is not the case either."
"Yes, then how can this be considered a test?"
Cao Su corrected him: "This can only be said to invite you to visit the camp."
"I see that it's been really hard for you to follow us all the way. Don't you understand such considerate behavior?"
Mr. Hui was stunned by Cao Su, and it took him a moment to react.
Then a wry smile appeared on his face. What does Cao Su mean? You have to thank him?
What kind of bullshit is this?
If he hadn't been able to defeat Cao Su, I would have given him a slap in the face now.
"General, just tell me, what are you going to do to let us go?"
Hui Lao's condensed momentum was flattened, he had already lost his patience, and directly showed his cards to Cao Su in annoyance.
Cao Su tilted his head and showed a fake smile.
He leaned forward, and Hui Lao's eyes were filled with a sense of oppression.
"If you want to leave, I will definitely not stop you."
What?
Hui Lao was confused. What kind of medicine was Cao Su selling in his gourd? What did he want to do?
He wondered: "Is this true?"
Cao Su sneered and said: "Of course, I, Mr. Cao, stick to my word and will never go back on what I have said."
Hui Lao immediately stood up and asked Cao Su to resign: "In that case, I'll forgive my illness and won't bother General Cao any more, so I'll take a step forward."
Cao Su didn't reply to him and clapped his hands.
Soon, Li Li, who heard the noise outside the camp, came in, holding three pages of paper in his hand.
One page has words, and the other two pages are blank pages without words.
He placed the paper in front of Mr. Hui. Mr. Hui picked up the paper with words in a daze, his face showing a variety of complex emotions such as surprise, grief, anger, and calmness.
He screamed and slapped the paper on the table in front of him, and hurriedly said: "Cao Pingbei, this is simply impossible. Even Qixing Mountain cannot meet your conditions."
At this moment, Cao Su had already walked up and came to Hui Lao.
He picked up the paper in front of Mr. Hui, and Chu Ganlin on the side looked at the paper curiously.
Write "Cao Camp Visiting Fee" and other words on the letter.
"nonsense!"
Cao Su said sternly: "You are an elder of Qixing Mountain, an important elder in the sect, and a master who has mastered the 'Fire Poison Spirit Boy' and other heaven-defying magical powers. Are you not worth five thousand stones of food?"
You finally said it, but you were still kidnapped!
Mr. Hui looked angry: "There are only a few hundred people on Qixing Mountain. How can we have so much food and how can we need so much food?"
It's not that he, the elder, can be saved or not, but that Qixing Mountain is completely powerless against such a difficult thing.
Cao Su snorted coldly: "You mean, there is no food in Qixing Mountain, so I don't want you anymore!"
As Cao Su spoke, his whole aura became even colder, and his eyes full of murderous intent stared at Mr. Hui.
If Qixing Mountain is worthless, then Hui Lao is worthless in Cao Su's eyes. Does a worthless thing still need to continue to exist in this world?
As soon as Cao Su's murderous intent emerged, the elder immediately trembled.
Still want to vote?
He finally came to his senses, and before Cao Su's murderous intent reached its peak and he might take action at any time, he hurriedly said: "There is food, there is food, there is food."
"Didn't you tell me if there was food?"
After all, Cao Su's palm didn't land on his head, but scraped his side and hit the ground with his palm.
Suddenly, a fiery red palm print appeared on the ground. The palm print was like hot magma, burning and rolling on the ground, and soon burned all the weeds around it.
Fire poison palm?
Hui Laotong's hole suddenly shrank, and he was so frightened that his soul escaped.
If this were imprinted on his current body, would he still be alive?
"Didn't you just say there was no food?"
"There is food, but there is no food on the mountain, but there is food below the mountain."
Qixing Mountain is located in the southern area of Shendu. It can also be regarded as a small mountain range. There are many Li people living under the mountain.
The territory of the Divine Capital has always had good weather and is suitable for planting. It is the true foundation of the King.
"At the foot of Qixing Mountain, there are farmland, ravines, and criss-crossing roads, which store food for the people. If you go and harvest it, you will have food."
Cao Su was satisfied. It seemed that the big dog owners still had plenty of money and food. Would he be short of it?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "As long as you have food, please report to Qixing Mountain as soon as possible."
When Mr. Hui saw that Cao Su was no longer interested, he put away the "visit fee list" in embarrassment. It was outrageous. A Chinese meal carefully prepared by the army actually cost a thousand dan. Drinking water, riding horses, and even resting in the camp were all expensive.
Need to spend......
It is no exaggeration to say that walking two steps may cost several hundred stones of food.
He was speechless. The most evil merchant in the world wouldn't dare to charge such a fee, would he?
And now Cao Su is buying and selling by force, cheating them without even knowing the price. It really looks like that, it is not a simple kidnapping and extortion.
He picked up paper and pen and began to write a letter tremblingly.
At this moment, I finally understood the purpose of those two blank sheets of paper. At first I thought the logistics general had made a mistake.
As Mr. Hui wrote, he also had other thoughts. He felt that it seemed inappropriate to simply hand the letter to the sect.
He hesitated for a moment, then changed the direction of sending the letter and decided to give the letter to his disciple first.
One of my disciples was a landowner in the south of Shendu. His family was wealthy. After becoming his disciple, he always wanted to find an opportunity to honor him.
Now is the time for them to contribute their efforts to help Cao Su solve the food problem.
Hui Lao finished writing an "Encouragement to Learning" eloquently, admonishing his disciples to practice wholeheartedly, and waiting for him to come back to review. At the same time, he tried to find a way to raise five thousand shi of grain to General Pingbei who was in charge of Youzhou. "General Pingbei is a certain person."
If I have a close friend who can provide help in times of need, and get his help, I can also become the deputy head of the sect."
Hui Lao wrote that he despised himself. He used to dislike that disciple because he was not good-looking and his martial arts talent was average, but he wanted to please him and learn superior martial arts.
He has always been honest.
I never thought that one day I would betray my principles.
He sighed slightly, feeling that the world was difficult.
Cao Su waited for Hui Lao to finish writing, then smiled and picked it up to read. Hui Lao struggled to grab the edge of the paper: "General, don't read the letter. I will definitely help you deliver the food. Don't worry!"
He was like a man about to die in society, holding on to his last stubbornness and refusing to let go.
Cao Su nodded. He only wanted one result anyway. Since the private message was so secret, he would not read it unless he read it.
So he let go, let people from outside come in, took away Hui Lao's letter, and painted it with fire paint in front of Hui Lao.
Hui Lao immediately felt relieved and had a relieved smile on his face.
He stroked his beard and said confidently: "General, don't worry, five thousand shi of food will not be missing a penny."
"Okay, now that Mr. Hui has said this, I feel relieved."
Cao Su chatted with him for a few more words, then made an excuse and sent him away, sending him back to where the heroes gathered.
Chu Ganlin continued to stay in his tent, looking at Cao Su with tears in his eyes.
She has grown up now and is no longer a little girl who doesn't understand anything. She was even more frightened when she saw Cao Su coercing and tempting an elder.
It was the same way Cao Su used coercion and inducement to massage her.
"You should also go back and rest."
Cao Su waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take Chu Ganlin away.
Chu Ganlin felt relieved and hurriedly escaped with the soldiers.
The entire handsome tent became empty again.
Not long after, Zhang Ke hurried over, holding a letter in his hand.
"General, Ling Hui's letter."
How could Cao Su not read the letter? What if this guy was defeated and the letter called on all the major forces from Qixing Mountain to attack together, wouldn't Cao Su care about it?
He took out the letter, read it carefully, and burst into laughter.
This Jianghu man is quite interesting. He almost beat him to death, yet he still cares so much about face.
After reading it, he didn't find any problems, so he changed the envelope and sealed it with wax.
"Hurry up and drive to Qixing Mountain."
Cao Su sent an order to deliver this letter as soon as possible.
These Jianghu people all have their own power, and if they come, they will definitely lose some of their wool.
Cao Su sneered and followed him all the way without bleeding at all. How could such a good thing happen?
Not long after, Cao Jun's camp rose up.
The vanguard army led by Zhang Ke and Luo Yi once again took the lead in attacking.
Ten thousand fine horses galloped forward on the Yuzhou plain, heading straight for various passes.
