There is one thing that Gaoding's subordinates did guess right.
This is indeed a strategy - a trap to anger Gao Ding and lead him to make mistakes.
However, this matter was not Meng Huo's instruction, but...
——
In Gufu City, the urban scene is not as smooth as the cultural integration in Nanguang. Instead, it looks stiff and stiff, imitating the culture of the Central Plains.
However, this was not the original intention of the city's founders.
At least, except for these areas where integration is rigid, the construction of the entire city's most important defensive fortifications, the Waiguo, is not weaker than other major cities in the Nanzhong region.
The noise caused by Gao Ding and others outside the city gate almost reached the ears of Meng Huo, who was currently meeting guests in the military camp outside the city.
Inside the tent——
In the smoke, through the gaps between the soldiers' figures, one could see that sitting near the commander's seat in the tent at this moment was a man and a woman. Two people dressed quite differently from the surrounding barbarians were drinking tea.
And the man on the handsome position, lying on his side on the soft floor with his knees propped up, was none other than Meng Huo.
"Hmph... This guy from Couture is usually the one who takes the most disrespect from me - he even takes advantage of me in words - so now let him be shut out.
"
"What Brother Meng said is absolutely true. When communicating with others, respect is what matters. For a guy like Gaoding who doesn't respect others, it's easy for him to suffer all these hardships."
The person who spoke was wearing a tiger skin vest, short leather pants and cane sandals, and his appearance was very cool.
But even so, the reason why he is so different from the surrounding barbarians is that——
He is really too thin.
This was true in front of the barbarian soldiers, and even more weak in front of Meng Huo.
Even when Meng Huo spoke to him, he had to pay attention to his tone intentionally or unintentionally, for fear that he would be blown away by this guy in one breath.
The situation with the woman next to him was different.
After the thin man finished speaking, the woman smiled and added with a rather charming smile:
"This is not like my sister. It is because she pays enough attention to you that she sent us two envoys as the vanguard to give you some information in advance. Having said that, Mr. Patriarch, are you still struggling with this question?
Should I meet with our leader, my sister?"
"this……"
Meng Huo raised his eyes and looked at the woman. In terms of figure and appearance, the woman was one of the best among the women he had ever seen.
Just looking at her makes me feel relaxed, but this person is not the real owner of this meeting.
Her sister... wants to marry her...
Meng Huo thought about this idea again. He heard the man describe that the woman's sister was hotter and stronger than her - she was Meng Huo's personal favorite. In comparison, the woman was still a bit more feminine.
.
After all, one of the reasons why he didn't do anything to the beauty in front of him was because she was the messenger——
Another reason is that the two people in front of him seem to be a newlywed couple - he doesn't have any strange hobbies. Since they are famous ladies and have their wives, he has lost interest.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, the two of them seemed to be whispering to each other, using Chinese that they were not very good at, which made him feel a lot more irritable -
At the same time, another report came from the city gate outside the tent. A barbarian soldier rushed outside the tent and shouted loudly before he entered the tent:
"Clan leader! That guy from Couture threatened us that if we don't open the city gate, we will bear the consequences!"
"You are responsible for the consequences?
What a big joke!”
Meng Huo slapped the table, thinking that even if he had to make some counter-decision, the thin man in front of him still smiled and shook his head and said, just like before:
"Brother Meng, don't get excited yet. You might as well agree to him this time and let him come to the city. The warrior is a warrior who makes a big effort, then fails again, and then fails three times. This is the third time he has shouted, although his words are more scary,
But in fact, he probably has no bottom in his heart."
"At this time, we only need to buy him a thin noodle to make him think that his threat has worked, giving him a buffer in his heart, so that he will naturally relax his vigilance - on the contrary, if we never give him
If he responds, his behavior will be unpredictable."
"Then, we do this and this...that and that..."
Meng Huo listened blankly. He was still in a bad mood at first, but slowly his head moved closer to the thin man... This was not the first time that something like this happened.
Despite the thinness of the man in front of him, what all the soldiers in the tent did not expect was that Meng Huo had no intention of looking down on him, and even allowed this Han man who had just arrived for two days to call him Brother Meng.
This... is the magic of him.
"This is good! This is good! Then let's do it like this. I'll go and clean it up quickly. Brother Yi... Is it okay to leave this matter to you and your wife?"
The man who was affectionately called Brother Yi by Meng Huo suddenly choked... It wasn't because Meng Huo called him so affectionate that he couldn't accept it, but... it was because he still couldn't relax about being called husband and wife by the other party.
come over.
"Don't worry, Patriarch, my husband's strategy is second to none in the south, and no one dares to claim first -"
"Not even Duosi?"
Meng Huo felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the woman praise her husband so much, so he couldn't help but give a typical example.
Unexpectedly, the woman smiled more confidently. She hugged the man's arm, smiled like a little bird, and immediately replied:
"Duosi is not as good as my husband."
——
Back outside the city, everything was as expected from the few words in the tent... After Gao Ding put down his harsh words, he felt a little regretful.
He obviously said such words out of anger, but if the other party really didn't give him this face, how could he deal with Yong Kai later?
Furthermore, if it was his own fault that caused Meng Huo to change from a state of uncertainty to outright hostility, he could not bear this responsibility.
So now, while maintaining his arrogant attitude, he is still muttering in his heart...
finally…
"Master Gao! The patriarch said you can enter the city!"
"Ah...really...really?"
A familiar voice came from the city gate tower, and it was the pawn who had always been against him who brought good news.
At this moment, Gaoding's hanging heart finally let go.
"Of course it's true! But..."
"Sir Gao, because our current city defense requirements do not allow such a large number of people to pour into the city, you should just select a few people to accompany you, right?"
"This this…"
Gao Ding vaguely felt that there was some danger hidden in the other party's words, but... after all, he finally got the permission to enter the city. After struggling for a long time, he finally gave in:
