The eighteenth day of the month of Chizhong (the tenth month of the lunar calendar) is the Guanyin Festival.
The autumn wind is bleak and the mountains and rivers are cold with frost.
Luo Ning led the crowd to leave Davalinka where they had lived for half a year.
When Su Chuo, Xi Guer and others left Dawa Linka, they couldn't help but look back at the familiar forest garden with reluctant eyes.
Because Luoning previously won the Shoton Festival performance on behalf of Naqin Mansion, Naqin leader was able to go to the royal city to meet Zampu next year. So Naqin Tsering was very grateful to Luoning.
He wanted to give Luoning a manor and hold a farewell banquet, but Luoning refused.
"Agyi Nachen La." Luoning said to Nachen Tsering, "I have lived in Davalinka for the past six months and have received your care. I am very grateful."
"I, Luoning, have no friends here, Aji Nachinla is my only friend."
Nachen Tsering said with emotion: "Agyi Loningla, you are also my friend Nachen Tsering. Six months ago, you came like the spring breeze, and now you leave like the autumn wind. I feel reluctant to leave you."
"You helped me a lot by winning the first place in the Shoton Festival. I promised to give you the manor. If you refuse, I will be uneasy."
"I accept it with kindness." Luo Ning still refused, "I am now the Lord of Longcuo City and the envoy of the Naixue Tribe. I already have no shortage of manors."
"So be it." Naqin looked at the Tibetan slaves in Dawa Linka who were also reluctant to leave.
"I will give you these slaves who have served you. They seem to be reluctant to leave you as a guest."
The value of a dozen slaves is far less than that of a manor. But it should be easier for Luo Ning to accept it.
Because Naqin has long seen that Luo Ning is a person who values friendship. This is one of the reasons why he is willing to make friends with Luo Ning.
Sure enough, Luo Ning did not refuse this time, "That's fine. They have lived with us for half a year and are familiar with each other. I will accept it. Thank you Aji Naqinla."
The reason why he was willing to accept a dozen Tubo slaves was because he wanted these slaves to live a better life.
Of course, the fate of staying in Naqin Manor and going to Longcuo City with him will be different.
At least around them, these Tubo slaves can live more like human beings and will not be abused.
The group of Tibetan slaves in Dawalinka were surprised and happy when they heard that they could leave with Luoning.
They are very willing to follow generous and generous masters like Luo Ning and Su Chuo.
The past six months in Dawa Linka have been the happiest time since they were slaves.
"Goodbye, Aji Loning La, you are a friend of Nachen House. My house, Nachen Tsering, will always open the door to you."
"Goodbye, Aji Naqinla, I hope you can visit Longtso City as a guest. When you arrive in Longtso City, it will be like me in Dawalinka."
Luo Ning bid farewell to the Naqin leader.
With Luo Jiaban, a group of Tubo slaves, Yinju Eshu, Qian Sibaan, and surrounded by three hundred Tubo cavalry, they left Naqin Manor in a mighty manner.
Nachen Tsering personally sent him three miles away.
………
Luo Ning did not explicitly bring Gu Yunxiao, Xia Chanming and other experts with him.
As the eagle dogs of Wei Zhongyi and Lu Zhi back then, these people were of course best suited to hiding in the dark.
At least for the time being, he has to keep a low profile and not let the big shots in Shunzhou know that he actually has so many masters.
Even so, Ke Luoning brought two seventh-grade consummates and three hundred elite cavalry, which was enough to intimidate those tribal envoys.
In addition to the three hundred cavalry, there were also three hundred horses sent by Dorgon.
The whole team looked a bit majestic. The people on the roadside looked at it and thought it was some big lord going on patrol.
Luo Ning rode the white horse gifted by Dorgon and walked in front of the team in high spirits.
Qian Sibaanpan, who was appointed as the commercial envoy of Longcuo City, said while riding his horse:
"When those tribal envoys learned that they had been dismissed from their official positions, they searched desperately, broke bones and sucked out marrow, and fished in dry lakes, preparing to make another big haul before leaving."
"Although Jin Yanshou of the Naixue tribe is dead, his family is still there, and he plundered the Naixue tribe even more ruthlessly."
"No, what they did is no longer a search, but a robbery!"
"They acted so recklessly when they left office, leaving behind a mess that caused great distress and people's livelihood to decline. It will be difficult for the city lord to deal with it after he takes over."
Qian Sibaanpan had reported these things once before.
Since he agreed to be Luoning's business envoy, of course he was very concerned about the people's livelihood of the three tribes of Long Cuo, which was related to business taxes.
He originally thought that Luo Ning would be very angry when he heard the news.
Unexpectedly, Luo Ning not only showed no anger, but also showed a playful smile.
"Really? That's fine. Since they are so greedy and cruel, they can't blame me."
When Qian Sibaan saw Luo Ning's smile, he suddenly couldn't help but shudder.
My heart suddenly brightened.
So cruel!
It turns out... the city lord had already known this.
He deliberately pretended not to know and deliberately delayed the time of taking over. The purpose was to indulge those people and give those people time for a final frenzied search.
After those people had plundered a large amount of wealth, he then charged them with expropriation and plunder.
Then, justifiably and openly, he took possession of the property that those people had plundered for many years as his own!
In this way, it not only enriches the city lord's palace, but also eradicates the weeds, greatly wins the hearts and minds of the people, and takes the opportunity to establish majesty.
Kill four birds with one stone!
When the time comes, he will be the one who makes a fortune, he will be the good guy, he will be the murderer, and he will be the one who saves the people.
Qian Sibaan looked at Luo Ning's enviable young face from the corner of his eyes, as if he was meeting Luo Ning for the first time.
Anyone who looks at him will see that Luo Ning is a handsome young man as gentle as jade, with a bookish air that is harmless to humans and animals.
But it wasn't until this moment that Qian Sibauban understood.
Although Luo Ning is a friendly person, he is also definitely a ruthless person!
This young man's heart is probably not inferior to that of those big shots.
But no matter what, in such a messy world, only this kind of person can open up a new situation and achieve a great career.
Otherwise, he is not a qualified superior.
The two Jurchens behind him, Yin Chu and Eshu, couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard Qian Sibaan's words.
Haha, I really already knew these things.
Well, I just deliberately gave them time to do whatever they want.
Even their criminal evidence has been collected enough.
Well, the real plan to eradicate the problem has been arranged in advance.
Those tribe envoys who were about to leave were frantically scraping the ground, knocking on the bones and sucking out the marrow, little did they know that they were making wedding clothes for Ezhen.
Er Zhen will step on their corpses to completely control the Dragon City Leader and Naixue Department.
In a luxurious carriage in the middle of the team, a slender white jade hand opened the curtain.
When Su Chuo saw the Tibetan cavalry galloping on both sides of the carriage, his beautiful eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Less than a year after coming to Tubo, brother Luo has already gained such momentum. All men in the world should be like Luolang."
Lu Pianpian's voice sounded from the bottom of her heart: "Su Chuo, have you tasted the taste of power and wealth?"
"You are not his family, just his friend, but you have already enjoyed the vanity that his power brings to you, right?"
"Looking at such a large team, do you feel safe, comfortable and satisfied?"
"If someone calls you Mrs. Luo, do you feel that you have a lot of face?"
Su Chuo's originally bright mood was suddenly ruined by Lu Pianpian's few words.
The girl clenched her slender catkins and said, "Lu Pianpian, you're here again, go to hell."
"Hehe. Are you anxious?" Lu Pianpian said, "Where do you really love Luo Ning? If Luo Ning falls down one day and loses everything he has today, can you still maintain your original intention?"
"Sister, I don't believe it."
Su Chuo snorted coldly and stopped talking to Lu Pianpian.
Her temper was originally very good.
But ever since I got together with Lu Pianpian, my temper has not been as good as before.
That's fine. The worse the relationship between the two, the more independent the soul can remain.
Su Chuo opened the car curtain again, stretched out his head, and looked at the back of the familiar and friendly young man in front of him, his eyes as gentle as water.
It seemed that even the tens of thousands of years of ice and snow in Tanggula Mountain would melt under her gaze.
She just stared at the boy's back until she saw that the figure was blocked by others, and then she lowered the car curtain.
In the afternoon of that day, Luoning began to divide his troops.
"Yin Zhen!"
"The slave is here!"
"You and Basang led a team of 100 people to the Naixue tribe and directly surrounded Jin Yanshou's mansion!"
"嗻!"
"You know how to do that?"
"Well, don't worry, I know this!"
………
After entering the third part of Longcuo, you can see serfs in quail clothes and poor faces everywhere, as well as poor and dilapidated villages.
Under the rule of the wealthy clan for decades, the anointing of these Xia people was almost exhausted.
Compared to the Tibetan serfs, the Xia serfs were in a much poorer and more miserable situation.
Along the way, I saw notices from the government more than once: "If you do not marry someone with malicious intent, you will be forced to serve in hard labor forever!"
Because of this notice, although poverty can be seen everywhere, there are also groups of children, all of them skinny and disheveled.
Seeing Luo Ningxuanhe's arrival, the large group of people dispersed in a hurry.
At dusk the next day, Luo Ning finally arrived at Longcuo City.
But I saw that the first city of Xifan back then was already dead and dilapidated, looking like an old man in the autumn wind and sunset.
The tall city gate was about to collapse, and only a group of private soldiers stood lazily at the door.
There were not many pedestrians going in and out of the city gate.
Qian Sibaan couldn't help reining in his horse and sighed: "It's only been a few decades. Longcuo City has fallen to this."
He looked sideways and saw that Luo Ning, who was originally as warm as spring, was looking at the city with an indifferent expression, a pair of unforgettable red and phoenix eyes... as cold as ice!
