Lingshuang could understand what Tang Yin said, but she didn't think that wars between the two kingdoms of An and Huan were so easy. Although King Huan was impulsive, he valued emotions, and King An was greedy, but timid and cautious. Their personalities happened to complement each other.
Tang Yin and Ling Shuang were chatting. The old man had already boiled the boiling water. Originally, he wanted to make tea for Tang Yin and Ling Shuang, but he was stopped by Ah San and Ah Si. The two of them first tested the boiling water and found that there was no problem.
Then he took matters into his own hands and made the tea.
Finally drinking the fragrant tea, Lingshuang showed a look of satisfaction on her face and praised: "The Fengcha brought by Brother Wang is really delicious."
Tang Yin smiled and said: "If Sister Wang likes it, I will send some to the Jade Kingdom."
"Thank you very much, Brother Wang." "You're welcome."
The two chatted while drinking tea. Time flew by so fast. It felt like only a moment had passed before the tea in the bowl had bottomed out. Looking outside, the sun was no longer sufficient. Tang Yin said to Lingshuang: "Sister Wang, the time has passed.
It’s late, we still have to hurry.”
When she heard that she was on her way again, Lingshuang suddenly felt tired, but she didn't want to delay the whole army's schedule because of her own relationship. She beat her legs with sore muscles and said helplessly: "Brother Wang, let's go!"
As she spoke, she stood up, smiled at the old man again, and said, "Old man, I'm sorry, I'm being presumptuous, but I hope you won't be offended."
The old man's expression was extremely unnatural. He forced a smile without smiling. He clasped his rough hands and said, "No...no...you're welcome..." The old man didn't know what to call Lingshuang, and beads of sweat ran down his cheeks.
Falling down hard.
Is she that scary? Lingshuang shook her head secretly, finding it difficult to understand the old man's nervous mood.
She looked around and sighed in her heart, this place couldn't be called home. I'm afraid that even the most shabby room in the palace where she lived would be a thousand times better than this one. She was silent for a moment and asked a personal attendant outside the room.
The female guard waved.
The female guard hurriedly walked into the room and stepped in to salute. Lingshuang asked in a low voice: "Do you have any silver on you?"
The female guard was startled for a moment, then reached back and took out a small purse from her waist, and handed it to Lingshuang respectfully. The latter took it, without looking at how much money was in it, and handed it to the old man, saying, "Old man
, we are destined to meet each other, and we have been begging for mercy for so long, so please accept your kindness."
Lingshuang's words were polite and her tone was soft, but there was a sense of oppression when she spoke that was hard to refuse. Perhaps this was the natural temperament, or aura, of a king who was accustomed to giving orders.
The old man took the money bag numbly, looked at Lingshuang blankly, and for a moment he even forgot to say thank you.
Lingshuang didn't care at all. She looked around with a smile and said: "The old man's home should also be equipped with some new furnishings. The house should also be demolished and rebuilt..." While speaking, Lingshuang walked to the room on the right.
In front of the door, push the door open.
Seeing this, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he almost collapsed to the ground on the spot. He wanted to stop Ling Shuang, but it was too late.
With a creaking sound, the bedroom door was opened. Before Lingshuang could see clearly what was going on, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared, pressing on her neck.
It was a shiny steel knife.
Tang Yin was about to walk out of the small thatched house, and he had already stepped out with one foot, but the sudden change behind him made him immediately retract his foot. The female guard who was still in the house was even more frightened, and subconsciously drew out her sword,
He shouted loudly and asked: "Who is it?"
Taking a closer look, he saw a group of strong men wearing Mo army armor standing in the inner room of the small thatched house. One of them was holding a sword. At this time, the edge of the sword was almost touching the skin of Lingshuang's neck.
Is it Mo Jun?! Tang Yin was startled, but he quickly calmed down and calmly analyzed the situation on the field. Looking at the clothes of these Mo Jun, they all had crooked helmets, gray faces, and no spiritual pressure. Obviously,
It was not a regular resistance force, it might be the remaining deserters. If it was really a scattered army, then their appearance here was not premeditated, but happened to be bumped into by himself and Lingshuang. Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why the old man had been
They are all so nervous. There are so many Mo soldiers hidden in the house. I am afraid that no matter who it is, they will have their hearts in their throats. It seems that Lingshuang's intuition is not wrong. The old man is indeed abnormal, but he is careless.
"Don't come here. If you take one step forward, I will kill her!" The Mo Bing who stabbed Lingshuang with a knife had a ferocious face and roared at everyone in the room with a blushing face. Others who were hiding in the inner room had a ferocious look on their face.
Mo Bing also grinned, each holding a weapon.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, he walked up to the old man with a strong step, grabbed the old man's neck with his big hands, and said coldly: "Let her go immediately, or I will break his neck!"
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin moved so fast. The Mo soldiers felt their eyes blurred. Tang Yin, who was at the door of the room, flashed to the old man's side. The old man was now shaking with fright, his eyes were turning white, and he might faint at any time.
If it weren't for Tang Yin holding his neck, he would have fallen to the ground by now. The little girl next to him ran up to Tang Yin, pulled his arm, and shouted loudly: "Let go of my grandpa, let go."
Driving my grandpa——"
The Mo soldiers obviously didn't care much about the old man's life and death. One of them said with a evil smile: "We are not related to this old guy, so you can kill her if you want, but we will definitely not let her go!"
While speaking, Mo Bing reached out and pulled Lingshuang into the inner room. At the same time, several steel knives were placed on Lingshuang's slender neck.
These damn guys! Tang Yin also saw clearly that these Mo soldiers should have fled to the old man's house, but things became more difficult. He stared at the Mo soldiers expressionlessly, remaining silent.
language.
Since Tang Yin and Lingshuang didn't talk loudly when talking, and Mo Bing hid in the inner room, he couldn't hear their conversation clearly, and he didn't know their exact identities, but looking at their clothes and the guards around them,
You can tell without guessing that their identities are not simple, and their status must be extraordinary.
A Mo soldier came close to Lingshuang, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "This lady is so beautiful, with thin skin and tender flesh. If we accidentally slip our hands, we will scratch her."
It would be a pity to lose face." While speaking, his eyes would glance at Tang Yin's face from time to time.
Tang Yin was happy and angry. He let go of the old man, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"Ten horses, five... fifty thousand taels of silver. As long as you give us ten horses and fifty thousand taels of silver, we will let her go. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." The first one used the knife*
Mo Bing, who lives in Lingshuang, seems to be the leader of these people.
He held it in for a long time, spent a lot of effort, and finally asked for 50,000 taels of silver. But with Lingshuang's identity, let alone 50,000 taels, it was five hundred, five thousand.
You can’t even exchange it for ten thousand taels!
After hearing the conditions proposed by the other party, Tang Yin's heart dropped from his throat. It seemed that the other party still didn't know the identities of himself and Ling Shuang.
He remained expressionless, and others could not see the ups and downs of his emotions. He said quietly: "You are also soldiers. You should understand that the army does not have so much silver."
This is true, but it depends on the situation. The leader Mo Bing sneered, waved his hand and said: "You damn young master and I are here to do this, you Feng Army and Yu Army have robbed so much gold, silver and jewelry from my country, Mo, and how many gold and silver jewels have you still stolen?"
I dare to say that you don’t have any money in your hands. Damn it, fifty thousand taels, not a penny less!” As he spoke, he dragged Lingshuang and retreated towards the back of the inner room.
Tang Yin asked: "What? There is no room for negotiation anymore?" Fifty thousand taels of silver was a drop in the bucket for Tang Yin. What he was afraid of was that even if he gave the money, the other party might not be willing to let Lingshuang go.
On the contrary, it will become more troublesome.
Now he is stalling for time, looking for an opportunity to take action. Although these Mo soldiers are not spiritual cultivators, the trouble is that Lingshuang is in their hands. If he takes action forcefully, Lingshuang will easily be injured by the opponent's knife. He
You have to find the safest way.
"There's no room for negotiation, just fifty thousand taels!" Leader Mo Bing shouted loudly.
Tang Yin nodded, turned his head and said, "Ah San and Ah Si, go prepare some silver."
Ah San and Ah Si took a deep look at Tang Yin, then they both raised their hands and said, "Yes!" With that said, the two of them turned around and headed towards their own brigade that was stopping on the official road.
Seeing that they were really willing to give 50,000 taels of silver, all the Mo soldiers had a look of surprise on their faces. They couldn't tell that this young and beautiful girl was so valuable. That was just 50,000 taels of silver.
ah!
Mo Bing came up to the leader of Mo Bing and said in a low voice: "Boss, if you want less, you should double it."
Leader Mo Bing raised the corner of his mouth, sneered, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so anxious? As long as she is still in our hands, we can pay as much as we want!"
"Yes, yes, yes, the boss is right!" All the Mo soldiers beamed with joy. They never thought that they could get such a big advantage when they were fleeing. They would be secure for the rest of their lives, and they could live a good life!
Not long after, Ah San and Ah Si returned, and at the same time they were followed by four tall and round-waisted Feng soldiers, who carried two large boxes and walked into the thatched house.
Bang, bang! With two muffled sounds, the four Feng soldiers put the two large boxes on the ground. Seeing this, Mo Bing's eyes lit up in the inner room. At Tang Yin's signal, Feng Bing put the two big boxes on the ground.
He opened the lid of the box and looked inside. It was all filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
Ah San said coldly: "Sell these two boxes of jewelry, enough to get fifty thousand taels of silver." As he spoke, his eyes drifted toward Tang Yin intentionally or unintentionally.
All the Mo soldiers had never seen so many jewels in their lives, and they were a little stunned for a while. But the leader of the Mo soldiers had seen some of the world, and was not stunned by the gold and silver jewels in front of him. He saw Ah San's eyes wandering as he spoke,
As if he had a hidden agenda, he felt something in his heart and said, "Pour out everything in the box, I want to see it clearly!"
