Ji Ming was invited to a house.
It seems that the identity of the person who wants to see him is secret, otherwise, he would not come to such a place.
The house is an ordinary house, but with the door closed, it is much more private than an ordinary wine shop.
Ji Ming pushed the door open and saw about ten people sitting inside, all with big beards and wearing sheepskin clothes. These are the Huns.
Ji Ming's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly exited.
However, those Huns came out and said very sincerely: "Lord Ji, please stay."
When Ji Ming heard the words Master Ji, he couldn't walk. How long has it been since someone called you these three words? Since Tian Jing's death, he has changed from an adult to a young eunuch.
Ji Ming slowly turned around and glanced at the Huns: "We, the Qin Dynasty, are at odds with the Huns. You dare to sneak into the city. You are so courageous. What? You want to spy on the intelligence of our country, the Qin Dynasty?" "
Huns, you look at me, I look at you, with a smile on your face, and said: "Master Ji, we come here with sincerity. We want to ask for peace, not war."
Ji Ming said calmly: "Since you are asking for peace, then you should go to see the emperor. What are you doing here to see me?"
The Huns said: "After all, Mr. Ji is the most powerful official around the emperor. Is there any difference between meeting the emperor and meeting Mr. Ji?"
Ji Ming was elated when he heard this. Even though I know it's fake, I still feel a little satisfied after being complimented like this.
Ji Ming coughed dryly and asked calmly: "Why are you looking for me?"
The Huns took out a sheepskin bag and poured it outside. Suddenly the whole yard was dazzling with countless gold, silver and jewelry.
Ji Ming's eyes widened.
The Huns said: "We want to make good friends with Lord Ji, and ask Lord Ji to speak kindly in front of the emperor and allow us Huns to negotiate peace."
Ji Ming nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, of course."
In fact, Ji Ming knew very well that he had no say in the war with the Huns. But these stupid Huns came to give money, so why not use it? They turned around and took the money without doing anything and hid in the palace. How dare they come to ask for debts?
Thinking of this, Ji Ming felt happy and said to the Huns: "Just wait for the good news. In three to five days, the matter will be done."
The Huns were overjoyed. They took out wine and drank several glasses of wine with Ji Ming. Seeing their intentions, they almost became brothers with Ji Ming.
Ji Ming didn't waste any time and immediately asked them to put the jewelry into their pockets, then carry it on their backs and hurried to Shangjun's courtyard.
After arriving at Shangjun Courtyard, Ji Ming threw the money on the ground and said in a very domineering manner: "I will pay back the money."
The calf smiled and asked, "Are you rich?"
Ji Ming quickly raised his chin to the sky: "Can you care?"
After the wizard's guidance, Ji Ming also understood that Huai Guzi's life was too hard. It might be a little difficult to stop him. In this case, there is no need to curry favor with him. Just as it was before, so it will be in the future.
Thinking of this, Ji Ming felt that the things he had given to Li Shui before were really a pity. But then I thought about it, these gold and silver treasures were not my own anyway. It's from those stupid Huns, whatever.
Soon, Niu Diao finished counting the jewelry, and then said to Ji Ming with a smile: "Congratulations, you still have 20,000 yuan left. Should you take it away? Or keep it here?"
Ji Ming sneered: "Who wants to be here with you? Of course I took him away."
Niu Da immediately ordered someone to count 20,000 yuan to Ji Ming. With twenty thousand dollars on his back, Ji Ming was immediately bent over. But he didn't mind, he felt very at ease and safe.
But when he was about to leave, the calf said again: "Hey, the one just now is only for next month. You still owe ten months."
Ji Ming almost fell to the ground: "A bag of jewelry, only paid for one month? How much did I owe in the first place?"
Ji Ming was very depressed and returned to the courtyard with 20,000 yuan on his back.
When the Huns saw Ji Ming go and come back, they were a little puzzled and asked, "Master Ji, why are you back again?"
Ji Ming sighed and said, "I have just contacted several important officials in the court. You also know that our Qin Dynasty is now in a state of overwhelming power, and it will be just around the corner to destroy you Xiongnu."
Several Huns had ugly expressions on their faces, but they didn't say anything. After all, there are people to ask for now.
Ji Ming added: "These courtiers were originally unwilling to participate in these matters. Fortunately, I have some status in the court and persuaded them, and they reluctantly agreed."
"But you also know that using personal prestige to get them to agree is ultimately unreliable and easy to betray them. So I gave some of the jewelry you gave me to them. In this way, after they received the money and benefited, they would I’m dead set.”
Several Huns nodded repeatedly: "Sir Ji, you really have a way. I admire you very much."
Ji Ming chuckled and said: "However, there are some difficulties in this. The money you sent is still too little. I can only bribe a few courtiers. The number is too small and it is not enough."
The Huns said in embarrassment: "Then... according to Lord Ji, what should we do?"
Ji Ming was a little unhappy and thought: I have already said this, what else do you have to ask? Are you really not understanding, or are you pretending to be stupid?
Ji Ming said: "In my opinion, if you want to accomplish this, you have to come up with money."
The Huns felt a little pain and asked, "How much more?"
Ji Ming thought for a while: "At least twenty times."
This price was not an exorbitant price, but a carefully considered one.
When the next batch of gold and silver arrives, wouldn't it be nice to send half to Shangjun's Courtyard to pay off debts, and keep the other half for squandering?
But the Huns were in a dilemma and said cautiously: "Master Ji, the Huns are not rich now. The envoys come one after another, and each time they have to send thousands of good horses and countless cattle and sheep. The Xiongnu's vitality has been seriously damaged."
"Now that there are endless conquests, there are only ** tribes that Shanyu Wangting can control. There is really no way to get rid of so much wealth."
Ji Ming was a little unhappy: "Then how much can you take out?"
The Huns didn't say anything, thinking: This question asks, how much do you want?
Seeing that the Huns were silent, Ji Ming said unhappily: "If it's less than fifteen times, then there's no need to talk about it."
The Huns looked bitter and begged, "Can it be ten times better?"
Ji Ming was a little unhappy and thought: Ten times? Return everything to Shangjun Courtyard? Then am I not busy in vain?
But then, the Huns said again: "We have already heard that Lord Ji has a grudge against Huaiguzi. And some of my Xiongnu athletes are brave enough to fight to the death. As long as Lord Ji agrees, we can select some brave people. Kill Huaiguzi for Lord Ji."
When Ji Ming heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: This is a good idea. If Huaiguzi dies, then the money from Shangjun’s courtyard does not need to be paid back. In this case, wouldn’t the ten times the gold and silver given by the Huns belong to me?
Thinking of this, Ji Ming nodded and said, "That's all. Seeing your sincerity, I will help you."
These Huns thanked him again and again, and they were all very happy.
They left one person behind as a liaison. Everyone else covered their faces, taking advantage of the fact that it was still dark and there were many people entering and leaving the city, so they mixed in with the crowd and went out cautiously.
Ji Ming touched the fortune stone in his arms and felt that his fortune might really turn around. He couldn't help but feel good and walked towards the palace with satisfaction.
After returning to the palace, Ji Ming immediately found his friend Xiao Yi, showed him his transport stone, and told him the recent situation in detail.
Xiao Yi congratulated Ji Ming sincerely. After the two separated, Xiao Yi immediately went to Ying Zheng's study.
Ying Zheng was not too angry about Ji Ming's behavior, as if he had expected it. He smiled slightly and said: "Ji Ming actually made friends with the Huns? It seems that God's will is that the Huns are going to perish."
…………
The Huns who had left the city in disguise were rushing towards the grassland.
It is already a little difficult to return to the grassland now. Except for the small piece of land occupied by Shanyu Wangting, the vast north has been occupied by Da Qin.
There are sentinels and mines everywhere. If you are not careful, you will be caught.
It is said that after the Huns were caught, they first searched them to see if they had any knives. If they have a knife, they will be treated as prisoners of war and taken to the mines to do hard work.
Oh my god, which Huns have no weapons? Can the Huns survive on the grassland without weapons? Either it was robbed by others, or it was picked up by a wolf.
Fortunately, these Huns are the best of the best. Carefully along the way, I finally escaped many obstacles and arrived at the Shanyu Royal Court.
They told Touman Chanyu about the news about their contact with Ji Ming.
After hearing this, Touman Chanyu was both worried and happy.
Fortunately, Ji Ming really agreed to get rid of Huaiguzi and preside over the peace negotiations between the Xiongnu and Daqin. What worries me is that there are so many gold and silver treasures that it is difficult to raise them all at once.
Sha Tilie suggested in a low voice next to him: "Father, maybe we can sell some cattle and sheep to barely scrape together enough gold and silver to send to Ji Ming. In the future, I, the Huns, will survive the disaster and regain their strength, and then we can just rob it back." .”
Touman Chanyu glanced at Shatilie, then shook his head.
In fact, Touman Shanyu also thought about this method just now. But after hearing his son say the same thing, he immediately gave up the idea.
For no other reason than this son is too stupid. You have to listen to his advice.
Touman Chanyu sat down tiredly and thought: Maybe I should ask Shatilie to come up with some more ideas, and then reject them one by one. The remaining ones are really effective strategies.
Touman Shanyu was thinking, and suddenly a Huns hurried in and said, "Report, there is a messenger coming."
Touman Shanyu was stunned for a moment and asked: "Whose messenger? From the Qin people?"
The Huns said: "They are from Modu."
Since Maodun became a traitor, the Huns hated him. When mentioning him, he was never given any honorific, just his name.
When Touman Chanyu heard the word "Maodun", he was equally angry and shouted: "Kill the traitor's messenger."
Shatilik was also beside him and said: "Throw him into the fire and roast him alive."
Touman Shanyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed his mind: "Wait, let the messenger come in."
Shatilie glanced at his father in confusion, always feeling strange.
After the messenger came in, he said tremblingly: "Little man, I am the messenger of King Zuoxian."
Shatilie was furious: "What King Zuo Xian? The Xiongnu did not have King Zuo Xian, only the traitor Maodun."
The messenger had no choice but to say: "Yes, it is Mao Dun's messenger. Mao Dun ordered the villain to send a message that he is willing to work with Shanyu to attack the Qin people."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Huns present did not believe it.
The messenger added: "Modun said that he had no choice but to surrender to the Qin people. He was chased by the Chanyu that day and had no choice but to enter Qin. The Qin people were cunning and forced him to reveal the location of the Xiongnu tribe."
"Modun tried every means and ordered the villain to escape and come to the court of the Shanyu to deliver the message. As long as the Shanyu agrees, the two parties can definitely defeat the Qin people by cooperating inside and outside."
"At that time, not only will the Xiongnu's difficulties be solved, but the mineral deposits dug out by the Qin people will also belong to the Xiongnu. From now on, I, the Xiongnu, will have countless iron weapons, countless weapons, and countless gold and silver. I can calmly go south to destroy them. Qin."
Chanyu was a little moved, but he was not sure whether his words were true or false.
So he turned to look at Satire: "What do you think?"
Shatilie said: "This must be a treacherous plan. It was a treacherous plan jointly decided by Mao Dun and the Qin people. They want to destroy my entire clan. Why should we cooperate inside and outside?"
"Father, now that we have more than a dozen Xiongnu tribes gathered together, the Qin people can't destroy us all at once, so they came up with this strategy."
"If we really listen to Mao Dun and send troops, Mao Dun will definitely rebel by then. He and the Qin people will attack us together. By then, we will definitely die."
After hearing this, Chanyu suddenly felt confident and said to the envoy: "Get up and tell me in detail what Modu's plan is."
Shatilie was at a loss: Father, you don’t want to listen to my opinion? Then why are you nodding your head?
The messenger told Maodun his plan. Then he said to Shan Yu: "After the matter is completed, Mao Dun hopes... I hope to be the prince of the Huns."
Shatilie became furious and pointed at the messenger and cursed.
Chanyu looked at Shatilie and then at Maodun's envoy, feeling very troubled: one of his two sons was a wolf and the other was a pig.
If the wolf becomes the prince, he, the Chanyu, will probably die a violent death. If the pig becomes the prince, the Xiongnu may fall. Difficult, difficult.
However, Mao Dun made such a request, which shows that the attack on the Qin people is true. If he has no conditions, it will be disturbing.
Shanyu said calmly to the envoy: "This matter is of great importance. Drive away the Qin people first, and then discuss it in detail."
The messenger agreed and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Before leaving, Mao Dun once said. If the Shanyu agrees fully, it means he has no intention of cooperation. If he shirks, then he really intends to cooperate.
The envoy thought to himself: It seems that the attack on the Qin people is almost certain. My life is no longer in danger. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "I was a great hero in the Qin Dynasty" for free as soon as possible.
