,!
Xiao Wu left the tent.
On the other side, Cui Guang was taken to the Chinese army tent where Xiao Wu was located by the people of the Tiger Flag.
"Come on, common people, here, kowtow to the general." Cui Guang saw Xiao Wu sitting behind the table and immediately guessed that he was a big shot in the rebels, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
Xiao Wu looked at Cui Guang who was kneeling on the ground, picked up the teapot on the table, brought it to his lips, took a sip, and asked: "Which family are you from in Xiao Songji? The Cui family or the Cui family?" Wang family?"
Cui Guang was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect that the other party would reveal his origin in one word.
"Our camp is asking you a question!" the guard standing next to Xiao Wu urged.
Cui Guang came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Cao Min comes from the Cui family, and the current head of the Cui family is Cao Min's father."
"It turns out it's Master Cui." Xiao Wu asked with a smile on his face, "Master Cui came to my place, but what's the matter? Are you planning to defect to us?"
Cui Guang shook his head quickly and hurriedly explained: "The grassroots came here to give the general a generous gift on the orders of my father, and at the same time, I also want to ask for a word from the general!"
"Oh? What are you talking about?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
Cui Guang raised his eyes and secretly glanced at Xiao Wu who was sitting in his seat, and said: "General, why don't you take a look at the generous gifts brought by the common people first?"
He felt that he would be more confident by giving generous gifts first and then telling what he wanted.
"Okay, let me see how generous the gift from Master Cui is." Xiao Wu was also curious about how many things a local stick in such a place could give.
Cui Guang, who was kneeling on the ground, said: "The servants and things brought by the Cao Min were blocked outside by the general's men. General, do you think you want the Cao Min's people to move the things in?"
"It seems the weight is not light." Xiao Wu smiled, then rushed out of the tent and said, "Put in all Master Cui's people and things."
As his voice fell, the tent door was opened by the guard from the outside.
Two servants dressed as domestic servants came in from outside carrying a small wooden box.
The wooden box was carried to Cui Guang's side, and two servants of the Cui family knelt behind Cui Guang.
"Please, General, please allow the civilians to open the box?" Cui Guang asked Xiao Wu cautiously.
Xiao Wu nodded expressionlessly.
In his opinion, a wooden box like this would be worth even if it was full of things.
After receiving permission, Cui Guang straightened up his upper body, reached out and grabbed the nose in front of the wooden box, and opened the lid of the wooden box, revealing ingots of brand new silver ingots.
Xiao Wu looked disappointed when he saw the silver in the wooden box.
In his opinion, the total amount of silver in the wooden box was probably only about one thousand taels, which was far different from his psychological expectations.
Cui Guang, who had been paying attention to Xiao Wu's expression, felt a thump in his heart and his mood continued to sink.
Even though he likes to wield swords and guns and is not as smart as his brother, he also knows that the other party is not satisfied with the generous gift he brings.
It probably feels like it’s too little.
But he knew that for the Cui family, one thousand taels of silver was already a lot. For a place like their Cui family, they might have some food, but not much gold and silver.
"Okay, I'll take the things." Xiao Wu waved to his guard, and then said to Cui Guang, who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up too!"
The guard stepped forward, closed the lid of the wooden box, and carried the wooden box to the side by himself.
Cui Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground.
No matter what, as long as the other party collects the things, there is still room for discussion.
Xiao Wu looked at Cui Guang and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Before the Cao Min said, he hoped that the general would forgive the Cao Min's crime of disrespect." Cui Guang probed cautiously.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu chuckled lightly and said, "There are quite a lot of things to do, so I'm sure."
He would not take action against Xiao Songji for the time being before he could deal with the soldiers and horses of Shandong Beiwa Dusi, and it would not take more than a few days, so he had no intention of doing anything to the Cui family member in front of him.
"The common people have thanked the general here first." Cui Guang bowed respectfully to Xiao Wu, and then said, "The general collected the food sent by Xiao Songji two days ago. He said that after receiving the food, he would Will leave, I wonder when the general and his troops will leave Xiao Songji?"
Xiao Wu laughed when he heard this and said, "You went around in such a big circle just to ask about this?"
Cui Guang smiled awkwardly.
It wasn't a big deal to the other party, but to Xiao Songji and the Cui family, it was really a life-threatening matter, otherwise the Cui and Wang family wouldn't have raised a thousand taels of silver to send it over.
"Since you want to know, let me tell you that the army will leave today. Don't worry this time!" Xiao Wu gave Cui Guang reassurance.
When Cui Guang heard this, he felt relieved.
Once the rebels left, Xiao Song Ji was safe. From now on, the Cui family and the Wang family would have the final say. He could still compete with his brother for the position of head of the Cui family.
Xiao Wu noticed Cui Guang's relaxed expression and said, "Is there anything else? If nothing else, just go back. There are a lot of things to do when the army evacuates."
Immediately issued an eviction order.
"The civilians will leave now and won't disturb the general." After getting the result he wanted, Cui Guang no longer wanted to stay in the rebel camp.
Although the rebel general in front of him seems to be easy to talk to, rebels are rebels after all, and they are all moody characters. If he says the wrong thing, his life may be lost here.
Cui Guang took the two servants who accompanied him to the rebel camp and retreated from the tent.
Things went so smoothly that he still couldn't believe it after he walked out of the big tent.
Outside the big tent, soldiers with the Tiger Flag took the three of them to the entrance of the camp and were sent out of the camp gate.
"Second Young Master, look over there. The rebels really kept their word. Some troops have already begun to evacuate." After leaving the camp gate, a servant following Cui Guang raised his finger and pointed to a place not far away.
Cui Guang looked over.
I saw soldiers and horses coming out of the camp gate in groups.
"Second Young Master, we really found the right person this time. The Xuanwuwei commander we found last time talked like farts and had no effect at all. This time, Second Young Master, you only send one thousand taels of silver. Let the rebels retreat, and I will definitely praise you, Second Young Master, when I return." Another servant complimented Cui Guang.
However, Cui Guang looked at the groups of soldiers and horses coming out of the rebel camp, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt something was wrong.
Even if the leader of the rebels wants to retreat from Xiaosongji, it shouldn't be so fast.
He had the illusion that the rebels were ready to retreat in advance and were waiting for him to come.
"Let's go, go back first." Cui Guang didn't know why, but he was not as happy as he imagined.
The camp is not far from Xiao Songji’s earthen fort.
Cui Guang and his servants quickly returned to the castle.
