"Go in, let me in~"
Dolma Maiti carried an old man in his fifties, wearing a silk scarf, to Geng Gong's tent.
This old man is none other than Qi Ruosi's father-in-law, the widowed father-in-law Sedan.
Saidan was also unlucky. A few days ago, he went back to Jinuo City to attend the wedding of his tribe due to invitation from his tribe. As a result, he encountered Geng Gong's army on the outskirts of Natuoluo City on his way back.
Saidan vaguely remembered that his journey there had been very smooth, and he was playing and being affectionate with the new Hu Ji, and his life was extremely comfortable.
As a result, as soon as they entered the Tuoluo City, they encountered Geng Gong's army.
That group of black-armored cavalry only charged with one person, blocking more than two hundred people in front of him. The guards he was proud of in the past were torn to pieces, and blood stained the ground under his feet. He also became a glorious man. Military prisoners.
Twenty of his tribesmen were captured together with Saidan, including his own son Saipan.
This really corresponds to the famous scene in a certain movie and TV series in the past life: eating hot pot and singing songs, and suddenly encountered bandits.
Recalling the terrifying battle tactics of the Han cavalry, as well as the scenes of broken limbs and corpses lying in the wilderness, Saidan still trembled.
Now, this Han general wanted to see him, which made Saidan feel uneasy.
"Kneel down~"
As soon as he entered the camp, Peisi Che immediately gave a deep shout.
Saidan instinctively knelt down and cried to Geng Gong: "General of Heaven, please have mercy~"
The more prominent a person is, the more he knows how to cherish his life. This principle is universal all over the world.
As a noble widow and father-in-law, Saidan enjoys the glory and wealth, so he naturally knows how to survive.
Geng Gong looked at the gorgeously dressed old man in front of him, feeling very contemptuous in his heart, but his face showed a trace of displeasure, and he said to Dolma Maiti: "What are you doing? Why don't you help the old man up? Find a low stool." , ask him to sit down."
Dolma Maiti was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Peische wink at him, he took the order to help Saidan up, and then found a stool for him to sit on.
Saidan was sincere and frightened, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, General of Heaven, for giving me a seat. I wonder what General of Heaven has to do with this old man?"
Geng Gong said with a smile: "Don't panic, old man. I heard that the old man is the father of today's noble widow. As a big man, I always treat others with courtesy, so I naturally have to respect him."
"Treat people with courtesy? They are just a bunch of bandits!"
When Saidan heard this, he couldn't help complaining in his heart. Of course, he didn't dare to say this directly.
"The General of Heaven has misunderstood. The old man is just a noble widow and an ordinary citizen, not the head of the state. The General of Heaven must have recognized the wrong person."
You can't admit that you are the current father-in-law at this time, otherwise who knows what outrageous things this Han general will do?
Unexpectedly, Geng Gong's face turned cold when he heard this: "Old man, are you really not the head of the country?"
Saidan: "I am just a noble widow and a commoner. Naturally, I am not the noble widow and the father of the country. I would like to ask the general of the heaven for advice."
Geng Gong nodded and said to Dolma Maiti beside him: "Since he is not the father-in-law of the noble widow, then take him out. When noon comes, let him and his entourage be executed on the spot."
"Here!"
Dolma Maiti immediately rushed forward, kicked the low stool that Saidan had lowered, picked him up before he fell to the ground, and said with a ferocious expression: "Old man, you are finished, hehehehe..."
When Saidan heard this, he was so frightened that he called for help: "General, please have mercy on me. I am the father-in-law of the country. I am your widow, the father-in-law Saidan. General, please have mercy on me~"
Seeing Saidan's admission, Geng Gong couldn't help but snorted: "It's true that I won't shed tears until I see the coffin."
"Wait! Bring him back."
Saidan, who was about to be carried out, was brought back again. This time, he knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.
Geng Gong said: "Why do you need to humiliate yourself, my father-in-law? I treat others with sincerity, but you still want to deceive me. Are you afraid that I will do something bad to you?"
Saidan burst into tears: "I won't hide it from the general, I am just afraid. I am afraid that the general knows the identity of my father-in-law and will harm me. That's why I deceived you."
Pei Siche, who was on the side, heard this and sneered: "You old guy can't even deceive a three-year-old child, and you are still a commoner. You noble widows and commoners are so rich that you all wear silk clothes and carry hundreds of guards with you when you go out." ?”
When Pei Siche said this, Saidan's face suddenly turned red.
"Well, since you are the father-in-law of the country, I, the general, will naturally treat you with full courtesy and give you a seat if you come."
Soon, the low stool that had been kicked over was placed again, and Saidan sat on it again fearfully.
"Come here, serve tea to the father-in-law. This will be my general's apology for my previous recklessness."
When the Han army went on an expedition, "luxury goods" such as tea and cigarettes were necessary items. Not only the Han army had them, but also the attached camps of the Yi soldiers who had joined the Han army.
"Principal, please."
"Please, General of Heaven."
When a bowl of steaming tea was placed in front of Saidan, he smelled it and felt refreshed, and his original nervousness calmed down a lot.
"Good tea, really good tea!"
After one bite, he could only feel the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth. Saidan couldn't help but praise it.
"I've heard that the original artifact is unparalleled in the world. I have the opportunity to see it today. It's really eye-opening for me."
At the same time, he thought to himself, if he could get such a tea purchase channel, and then transfer it to Dashi and sell it to the group of Western barbarians in Zhuzhou, he would definitely make a lot of money.
However, saving your life is the top priority right now, and we’ll talk about the rest later.
After a cup of tea, Geng Gong took out a pack of cigarettes named "Yun Yan".
I saw Geng Gong take out a slender cigarette from the cigarette box, take out the fire fold and light it, and immediately start puffing away the smoke.
Smelling the smell of smoke, Saidan couldn't help but sigh.
He also likes to smoke on weekdays, but this is the first time he has seen cigarettes like the one Geng Gong smokes.
"Master Guo Zhang, do you want one?"
"Is this okay?"
"It's okay, come and try the cigarettes produced by my Dahan Tobacco Factory."
After saying that, Geng Gong handed the cigarette case to Peische and motioned for him to send it to Saidan.
This can make Peisiche and Zhuomaimaiti go crazy. This Yunyan is a new product specially made by Han Dynasty. Not to mention the price is very expensive, and there is no market for it!
Why do you want to smoke this old thing? Isn’t it good to reward yourself?
But they did not dare to disobey Geng Gong's order. They could only watch helplessly as Saidan took the cigarette case, tremblingly pulled one out, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
"Good smoke!"
This sentence came from the bottom of his heart. Although he had smoked a lot, he swore that this was the first time he smelled smoke like this.
After lighting one and taking a deep breath, Saidan felt that his life as an immortal was over.
"Master Guo Zhang, do you like this cigarette? If you like it, just accept it."
"General Tianchao, is this really for me?"
"Of course, how can I, the general, play tricks on you?"
After hearing this, Saidan immediately put the cigarette case into his pocket, and Dolma Maiti was so angry that he cursed in his heart.
After finishing the cigarette, Geng Gong put out the cigarette butt and said to Saidan: "Master, I have something to ask you for help, and I hope you will agree."
Upon hearing this, Saidan immediately replied respectfully: "Please tell me, General of Heaven, if I can help, I will definitely do it for you."
"Okay, only the abbot can help with this task. After the matter is completed, I will report to Commander Bai to ask for credit for the abbot."
Saidan's eyelids suddenly jumped, and he felt keenly that this "busy" didn't seem to be that easy.
But in my current situation, can I allow myself to refuse?
At this time, in Natuoluo City, Qi Ruosi was already quarreling with the officials in the palace over the ransom.
In a word, these widow officials reached a highly unified opinion on the matter of redeeming the father-in-law.
The only difference is that we don’t need to talk about money. As long as we don’t talk about money, we are good subjects of the noble widow and parents and officials of the people. We can even provide all kinds of help except help. What a harmonious scene.
