At noon the next day, a large number of convoys arrived. Feng Tianlong personally led five hundred soldiers to escort them. Seeing this big scene was really jaw-dropping. When did there be an extra city here?
Seeing their convoy approaching, the people from the Helan tribe all cheered and swarmed up, surrounding the entire convoy. The enthusiastic girls among them even hugged their soldiers and kissed them... There didn't seem to be any hostility.
"This journey has been really hard on you Tianlong." Xiao Chen knew his situation, but his attitude was also very kind.
He used to hate those who surrendered their troops and generals, but now he has changed his mind.
When fighting Wanyan Pingqiu, the surrendered soldiers performed very bravely. It seemed that in order to prove that they were not cowards, they all rushed forward risking their lives!
Most of the casualties in that battle were surrendered troops and generals.
They won the respect of Xiao Chen and the others with their actions, and Xiao Chen did not break his promise. Not only did he cancel the shameful mark on their yellow books, he also gave them generous rewards like other soldiers!
Chen Jisheng's letter to him described in detail what Liu Congshu and Feng Tianlong had done. Although there was no praise, there was no accusation.
The surrender of Kaicheng was the responsible act of the two of them, but the objective result was that none of the people in the city died or escaped.
Although the silver and grain warehouses were emptied, the losses caused were really minimal compared to other cities.
But this is not the main point. The main point is what Yanyun County's people want, what the officials want, and what the public wants.
Only those who win the hearts and minds of the people can win the world. If the people's hearts and minds are lost, the so-called society will be like a loose sand that can never be united...
"The guilty minister..." Feng Tianlong was trembling when he saw Xiao Chen, but he didn't expect him to be so affectionate. He had mixed feelings in his heart and couldn't help but shed tears.
"Tianlong, you were guilty in the past, but you also had merit. I won't punish you if you are guilty, and I can't reward you if you are meritorious. From now on, we will start everything over. If you are guilty, you will be punished, and if you are meritorious, you will be rewarded. Okay?" Xiao Chen helped him with his own hands. Get up and give gentle words of comfort.
"I understand." Feng Tianlong wiped away his tears and nodded firmly.
"Damn it, I wish I had brought more troops." Hu Yanlei was grinning happily when he saw the goods arriving, but then he changed into a ferocious expression as he smiled, "So many good things, I’ll take them all back!”
"You know how to rob!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "If you can rob once, can you rob for the rest of your life? Only by doing business in a fair and friendly manner is the long-term solution and common prosperity."
"Xiao Chen, seriously, how long can you stay in Yanyun County?" Hu Yanlei said in a deep voice.
"As long as Brother Huyan treats me as a brother and is willing to help when danger strikes, I can stay longer." Xiao Chen said.
"We are brothers from the beginning." Hu Yanlei said, "When brother is in trouble, I will help you even if I die! It's just that our Helan tribe's strength is limited, and I am not the leader of the tribe..."
"I'm relying on you, right? I haven't asked you for help yet, so why are you making excuses?" Xiao Chen was very unhappy. What do you mean?
"But there are also ten thousand soldiers who are loyal to me. In the future, as long as you say hello, brother, I will take these ten thousand people to live and die with you. How about it?" Hu Yanlei continued.
"Your words are enough!" Xiao Chen replied happily.
"But you pay for the military salary." Hu Yanlei smiled slyly, "I can't help you in vain, can I?"
"It's smaller, the layout is smaller." Xiao Chen laughed heartily.
"We are just a prince, and we only have such a big structure, but we are not like the little prince Moro... Oh, now he is the king of the Xianbo tribe! Damn it, there has been no woman king on the grassland for many years. Yes! But this girl is really powerful, and she is so decisive in what she does, even her own brother and father were killed."
"Brother Huyan, don't talk nonsense. Didn't Prince Tuhun die of illness?" Xiao Chen must have spoken for Uluolan.
"Haha, don't you have an old saying in China, saying that if I don't kill Boren, Boren will die because of me? If she hadn't led the troops to rebel and force the palace, would the ancient prince Tuhun have died?" Hu Yanlei sneered.
"Oh Brother Huyan, you are such a secretive person!" Xiao Chen was greatly surprised when he heard this. How could this rude-looking man be so educated?
As expected, a person cannot be judged by his appearance!
"You Xiao Chen is the one who hides his secrets, and that Wanyan Pingqiu, do you know that after Wu Luolan became king, he was the one who jumped out to express his support? Hum, I don't think he is holding back any good intentions. Son!" Hu Yanlei was straightforward, but he was also very scheming.
"Hey, you really can't say this nonsense!" Xiao Chen was startled.
"Didn't I tell you this?" Hu Yanlei looked sideways at Xiao Chen, "Don't pretend to be confused with me. You two have been talking secretly under the Yin Mountain all day. What did you talk about? Do you dare to tell me? Humph, I know even if you don’t tell me!”
"Wanyan Pingqiu wanted me to help him get a pardon and make him the crown prince of Mojie Kingdom. I agreed to him." Xiao Chen said it bluntly without any secret.
"Are you really..." Hu Yanlei was shocked this time. He had already guessed that Wanyan Pingqiu would ask for a seal, but unexpectedly Xiao Chen would tell him directly.
"But Brother Huyan, you are wrong. I didn't encourage him to do what Uluolan did, because it would not do him or me any good. This matter is a long story. If you are interested, Brother Huyan, we can take it easy. Let’s chat slowly.” Xiao Chen sighed deeply.
"No interest, no interest!" Hu Yanlei shook his head repeatedly, "The affairs of his Mojie family are none of my business? By the way, we are brothers, right? Right? Then let us talk about this deal, and you can tell me Isn’t it a bit too evil to give me five sheep in exchange for the iron pot?”
"Ah? Is there such a thing?" Xiao Chen looked astonished, "This Chengxu is just messing around, isn't he? How can he treat our dear brother Helan like this? Chengxu, Chengxu!"
However, Wen Chengxu said that this is already a very generous exchange condition, iron pot! Made of iron, dear!
Prince Huyan, don’t you know that iron is a prohibited item in our Zhou Dynasty?
What a risk we took on this journey! And Prince, do you know how expensive the taxes and fees in Shunfeng Port are? These are all costs...
Besides, this is a voluntary transaction. The Helan brothers are all cheering. Prince, how can you still blame the villain?
If Prince Huyan thinks this is inappropriate, then we will not trade. I just took a look and found that there are only 10,000 iron pots in total. Looking back, Wuhuan, Xianbo, and Mojie’s brothers will definitely not be enough!
Originally, the villain was to be traded in a limited quantity, but Governor Xiao said that he and you are good brothers, so we must first get your Helan tribe to come, so I let them let go...
Do you think this is a good intention but a bad thing?
that whoever! Pass my order, keep all the iron pots, don't change them!
Although Xiao Chen kept a straight face on the side, he was really excited when he heard it. Chengxu, don’t say anything, you are such a talent!
In fact, this was not a deliberate act by the two of them for Hu Yanlei, because they had not rehearsed before and there was no script at all.
This is what Moon Sung Wook does on the spot.
It’s so vivid!
