Qin Zhao and Zhang Meng were sitting in the tea shed, observing the goings on in the wine shop.
"You don't have the strength to tie a chicken, what are you doing?" Zhang Meng was a little angry. Who would take care of Qin Zhao in a fight?
Qin Zhao gave him a cold look, which made Zhang Meng feel cold. He touched his nose and felt that he was right.
It was getting dark, and after a commotion in the wine shop, it calmed down. The door was opened, and Ajia and others were escorted out.
Qin Zhao walked forward and stared at Ajia for a long time, sizing him up like he was sizing up goods.
Ajia's face turned red with anger, and he spat at Qin Zhao as he said, "You are a despicable villain."
Seeing that Qin Zhao was insulted, Banli slapped Ajia hard, and the big man next to him yelled angrily.
"Young Master, you bunch of bastards, you dare to hit our young master, I will kill you."
Aga gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, idiot.
When he learned that this young man was the young master of the barbarian tribe, Qin Zhao smiled as brightly as if he had found a treasure.
Qin Zhao turned to look at Zhang Meng, "I'll put you in the military camp and guard him strictly. Whether you can eat meat depends on your defensive ability."
Zhang Meng also reacted. He walked around Ajia with a smile and said to Qin Zhao, "I want to eat mutton."
Qin Zhao: "Okay, except for mutton, everything else needs cows." Their sugar factory is short of milk.
Ajia was so stimulated by Qin Zhao's behavior that he glared ferociously and his hand tendons bulged.
Aga is like a tethered wild wolf that will tear people to pieces once loosed.
Zhang Meng released a barbarian and asked him to inform the barbarian leader to exchange cattle and sheep for his son.
With the foreign intruders eliminated, everyone can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.
It was already very late when Qin Zhao came back. Cao Xi prepared a New Year's Eve dinner and waited for Qin Zhao's return without even using his chopsticks.
"Why is it so late today?"
Cao Xi handed Qin Yuxuan to Xing'er for a hug, while he took off Qin Zhao's cloak.
Qin Zhao: "I've captured a few barbarians. I can just take care of the cold on my body."
Cao Xi was worried about Qin Zhao, fearing that he would be injured, so he followed him to the inner room and did not come out until Qin Zhao finished changing into his regular clothes.
Cao Xi served Qin Zhao a bowl of soup, "There may be casualties."
Qin Zhao held the soup bowl and took a sip. A warm current flowed into his stomach, making him feel much better.
"There are no casualties. Zhang Meng's wild donkey team is quite powerful."
Cao Xi wanted to laugh every time he heard this name. Why did he think that he was still in the Wild Ass Squad?
It was late at night after dinner, and Cao Xi coaxed Qin Yuxuan to sleep.
Cao Xi: "I will accompany you to watch the New Year's Eve." She leaned on Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao hugged Cao Xi tightly and said, "You have to hold on this time."
Every year, Cao Xi would fall asleep in the middle of watching the New Year's Eve and never persisted.
Cao Xi hugged his waist back, said "Yes", and squeezed his waist dishonestly.
The corner of Qin Zhao's mouth curled up slightly, he grabbed the rebellious hand and put it into his palm.
The weak candlelight jumped twice from time to time, and the two figures were reflected on the wall, which was quiet and warm.
On the other side, Zhang Meng looked at Ajia in the iron prison, "What is the purpose of your visit this time?".
Ajia sat against the wall, closing his eyes and concentrating with no intention of answering Zhang Meng.
"Are you very upset that we caught you?"
Zhang Meng had one foot on the cell door and one hand on the railing. If he had a tail, he would have to raise it.
Ajia opened his eyes, and a cold light flashed by, "Is that the adult who came up with this trick to catch me?"
"Oh, how did you guess it?"
Zhang Meng became interested, put down his foot on the cell door, grabbed the railing with both hands and looked inside.
Ajia cast a mocking look and said, "This is not my first time in Luzhou. I don't know what your level is yet."
Hey, Zhang Meng lost his temper. He is looking down on someone.
"You are really wrong"
Just as Zhang Meng was about to continue speaking, he suddenly realized that this guy was trying to trick him.
Then the conversation changed, "I can't tell you specifically who made the move to arrest you."
After saying that, Zhang Meng turned around and walked out of the dungeon. He didn't ask Ajia what his plans were for coming to Luzhou City. Anyway, everyone was in the cell, waiting to be exchanged for meat tomorrow.
Cao Xi was a little depressed because he still didn't succeed in staying up late. Why did he fall asleep again.
Qin Zhao walked to her and held her face.
"What's going on? I'm so angry when I wake up in the morning."
Cao Xi looked at him aggrievedly, "I agreed to stay with you on New Year's Eve, but I fell asleep again."
Qin Zhao rubbed Cao Xi's face vigorously, "It's okay, I'll just keep you company. Let's have breakfast."
After breakfast, Qin Zhao went to find Zhang Meng. He wanted to see Ajia and wait for the person who came to redeem him.
Ajia looked a little haggard, "Don't bother, my father will not spend money to redeem me."
"Oh, then you will be miserable. You will have to work as a coolie here until you die."
Qin Zhao's nonchalant look irritated Ajia, but just as he was retorting, Zhang Meng walked in.
He whispered to Qin Zhao, and the two of them walked out together, "What happened?" Qin Zhao looked solemn.
Zhang Meng: "The barbarians replied, saying that if they don't let their young master go, they will attack the city tonight."
Qin Zhao pondered for a moment, "It seems like we really have to keep him as a coolie so that the soldiers can prepare for the war." He was bullied to the doorstep.
He turned to Zhang Meng and said, "Tell the envoy that the Barbarian King will prepare to carry his grandson. Their young master has entered Luzhou City and will not return to his parents' home in the future."
Zhang Meng: "Tut-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-mouth"
Zhang Meng asked Vice General Chen to reply. Vice General Chen added fuel to the fire, displaying sarcasm and contempt so vividly that the envoy's face turned red with anger. Before leaving, he said harsh words, saying that the entire Luzhou City would pay the price.
The Barbarian King kept his word. When evening approached, he saw that his son had not been released. Without saying a word, he led 10,000 troops and attacked the gate of Luzhou City.
How could such a foolhardy person have been so arrogant for so many years?
After discovering the enemy, the watchtower beat drums to announce that the soldiers on all the city walls lined up in two rows, all holding crossbows and fighting alternately. The battle came fiercely and went away quickly.
In the early morning, Vice General Chen had already led his soldiers to clean up the mess.
A total of more than 3,000 weapons and prisoners were collected. They were tied with ropes and led to the prison in Luzhou City. The people were frightened and frightened. It was not until they saw the prisoners that they smiled. They had won.
Cao Xi was frightened at home, afraid that Qin Zhao would be injured, afraid of being defeated and fleeing, and even more afraid of the suffering of the people.
She asked Mu Mu to observe what was going on outside at any time, while she held Qin Yuxuan at home and waited anxiously.
"Madam, I win, I win." Mu Mu ran very fast, and the excitement on his face could not be concealed.
When Cao Xi heard that she had won, she was relieved and said, "Master, have you seen him? He's hurt."
Mu Mu: "I saw it. He was with General Zhang. He was not injured. They drove the prisoners to the cell. There were many people holding rotten leaves and eggs. It was a spectacle to beat the prisoners."
After hearing the desired result, Cao Xi felt relieved. When her thoughts turned around, she realized that her son was too heavy for her to bear.
Cao Xi bumped Qin Yuxuan's head, "Little Fatty, isn't your father very powerful?"
When Qin Yuxuan saw that his mother finally paid attention to him, he kept clapping his hands happily.
Because there were so many captives this time, the barbarian leaders had to use cattle and sheep to ransom them. Five hundred cattle and sheep, Zhang Meng touched his chin.
"I'm too poor to complain about robbery. I wanted a thousand cattle and sheep, but it's a pity."
Qin Zhao glared at Zhang Meng and said to the Barbarian King: "Actually, you can also make money by raising cattle and sheep. Luzhou City uses a large number of cattle and sheep every year. You can exchange the cattle and sheep with us."
The Barbarian King looked at Qin Zhao with a complicated expression.
"Master Qin, the exchange of cattle and sheep has been implemented a few years ago, but you are too cunning. The food you gave us is moldy and smelly and cannot be eaten at all."
Qin Zhao didn't expect that there would be such a problem. It seemed that the government recordkeepers were seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and did not record it at all.
"Don't worry, King Barbarian. As long as I'm here, the food you exchange will be new food."
"I believe you once" After this battle, the barbarians were severely hit. This winter must be a difficult one.
The cattle and sheep sold this time are mainly local people, and they are the first choice for farming land, and the price is much lower than the market price.
After the people of Luzhou City have selected, the state government will come forward to sell them to surrounding states.
The silver sold was used to develop the economy of Luzhou City and pay court taxes for the people.
This was the first time that the people of Luzhou benefited directly. They were both happy and surprised. They did not expect that Mr. Qin, as he said, shared the blessings and the hardships.
The people are full of passion and yearning for future life.
