The strong man was representing the Gaoyue Tribe. As the lord, Jiang Pengji should get off the horse herself. How could he sit on the horse and hide in the crowd?
Was he afraid of death?
Jiang Pengji could hear the unfriendliness in his words. She frowned impatiently.
She didn't have the habit of not killing envoys in a war. She would kill whoever provoked her.
Jiang Pengji went straight to the point. "What message did the person behind you ask you to deliver? Just say it. I don't like guessing. "
The strong man's expression changed. He couldn't stand Jiang Pengji's neglect, but he didn't forget about business. "My lord asked me to deliver a message. In order to stop you, the Meng's will pay two million strings of coins and twenty thousand cows and sheep. However, we, the Gaoyue Tribe, do not like disputes. If the Liu Prefecture Magistrate can pay a higher price than the Meng Family, then the Liu Prefecture Magistrate will be able to come and go as he pleases in Thousand Rock County without expending a single soldier. The Gaoyue Tribe will keep its word!
The Meng's had only agreed to pay one million strings of coins and ten thousand cows and sheep. He doubled the amount.
The viewers in the streaming room had been guessing his identity since he appeared.
They were speechless after they heard the story.
Jianshu Liangshui: "The legendary Gaoyue Tribe that can tame beasts? It felt like their attire was no different from the brothers of the African tribes. But what did he mean by that? The Gaoyue Tribe took the Meng's payment and then sold them out? "
Tangerine Jelly: "What a cunning move!"
Dugu Fengye: "Awesome. I suddenly feel sorry for Meng Zhan. Does he know how loyal his dog is?"
Shanshan Shuishui: "It's not bad if we can buy a victory with money, but the price is a bit high.
People die in wars. If we can conquer Qianyan County with money, we can use it to pave the way. "
Of course, only a few people thought that way. Most viewers didn't like the Gaoyue Tribe's double-dealing.
Even if they were mercenaries, they had integrity. What about the Gaoyue Tribe?
The strong man saw that Jiang Pengji didn't say anything, so he thought she was moved.
He didn't expect Jiang Pengji to ride forward expressionlessly. White's beautiful face grew larger in front of him.
"Two million strings of coins and twenty thousand cows and sheep can make the Gaoyue Tribe retreat and stay out of the conflict between me and the Meng's?"
Da Bai snorted in agreement and walked two steps around the brawny man, as if he was observing him.
Jiang Pengji was so close to the strong man, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The burly man said, "Exactly."
Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and sneered. "I heard that the Gaoyue Tribe is good at taming beasts. Have you heard of this saying?"
The man's attention was attracted by Jiang Pengji and he did not pay attention to White.
"What is it?"
At this time, Da Bai had already circled behind him, found a good angle, selected a good target, and raised his hooves high into the air —
"A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!"
The brawny man didn't even have time to scream before Da Bai's two front hooves stomped on his body a few times.
Da Bai's steps were very graceful, but his footsteps were extremely painful.
Although it was not a heavy horse like the heavy cavalry, its weight and the scales on its body were quite impressive.
With every step, everyone could hear the sound of bones being crushed.
Soon, the muscular emissary's lower body was covered in blood, and he stopped breathing in the blink of an eye.
"Drag it away and burn it! This person smeared some unknown powder on his body, which triggered White's ferocious nature. Sigh — it's a pity that he died. "
Wei Ci and the others were speechless.
Who would believe such a lame reason?
White's ferocious nature?
Haha —
"It's fine if my lord is unwilling, but why did you let White trample him to death?"
Their lord had killed someone. What else could they do?
At most, they would teach her a lesson after the incident and help her destroy the evidence.
Anyway, they were in the wilderness. They could just refuse to admit that the Gaoyue Tribe had sent an emissary.
As for how the emissary died?
They wouldn't know even if they asked.
"I'm just angry that the Gaoyue Tribe treats me like a fool, but they don't know that they're the biggest fool," Jiang Pengji said calmly. "They wanted to trick me into handing over two million strings of silver and twenty thousand cows and sheep. They wanted to extort a sum of money and then break the contract. Even if they didn't break the contract, they would only give up Qianyan County. They didn't guarantee that they wouldn't take the opportunity to cut off our supply after we passed Qianyan County. We're deep in the hinterland of Cang Prefecture, and our supply line has been cut off. Aren't we going to die? How dare they use such a dishonorable method in front of me? Who gave them the courage to show off in front of me? "
Although the people of ancient times valued credibility, credibility depended on who they were dealing with.
The Gaoyue people obviously wanted to cheat Jiang Pengji out of her money and lower her guard. Then, they would beat her up.
How greedy!
How dare they show off such petty tricks in front of her?
When Jiang Pengji was still a genetic warrior, she often received missions as a spy. She had seen all kinds of tricks, not to mention this kind of child's play.
She frowned and said, "Remember to dispose of the corpses. We don't want to have a bad reputation."
This incident was just an interlude. The army passed through the border and entered the territory of Luofeng Dock.
After choosing their base, the army set up camp.
On the other side, the Gaoyue Tribe didn't see the emissary return. They deeply suspected that something had happened to their emissary.
After waiting for a few days, they couldn't sit still anymore because Meng Zhan was urging them.
Their plan to extort money from Jiang Pengji had to be put on hold.
"This is strange. Why haven't I seen any scouts from the Gaoyue Tribe? Could it be that they really want to give up Qianyan County? "
According to the scouts, the Gaoyue Tribe was stationed at Luofeng Dock, but they didn't see any traces of enemy scouts along the way.
It didn't make sense.
"The Gaoyue Tribe is good at taming beasts. They have secret techniques for taming beasts. This isn't just a rumor." Meng Hun looked up at the sky. There was a cry from high above. It sounded like an eagle flying in the sky. "Don't you think there have been more birds around the camp in the past two days?"
Feng Zhen suddenly understood. "Could it be …"
Meng Hun nodded. "These birds are the scouts of the Gaoyue Tribe. They are their eyes and ears."
As he spoke, Wei Ci came in from outside the tent with a pale face.
Jiang Pengji was thinking about something when she heard the commotion. She raised her head and glanced at him. A fierce look flashed across her calm eyes.
"Zixiao, what happened to your hand?"
Wei Ci didn't expect to be discovered so quickly. He smiled bitterly and rolled up his sleeve, revealing his hand wrapped in white cloth.
"I was accidentally bitten by a black snake. Fortunately, it wasn't poisonous."
Bitten by a snake?
The ancient era wasn't the world that the audience came from. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants were very common.
When the army was stationed in the wild, accidents often happened when soldiers were bitten by poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts.
When Wei Ci said this, Feng Jin, who was beside him, said, "Zixiao was bitten too?"
"Too?"
Feng Jin said, "Over the past two days, I've often received news that soldiers have been bitten by snakes and insects. There are already a hundred wounded soldiers in the casualty camp."
Most of them were non-poisonous snakes, but there were a few poisonous snakes that were deadly.
Not only that, but the scouts who went out also said that they had encountered many snakes and insects recently.
Everyone's hearts tightened. Meng Hun and Meng Heng immediately thought of the Gaoyue Tribe.
They came from the Meng family of Cangzhou, so they knew very well that the Gaoyue Tribe's ability to tame beasts was much more advanced than what was recorded in the books.
"The Gaoyue Tribe did this?"
Snakes and insects were not rare in the military camp, so no one suspected it at first.
However, it was Wei Ci who was bitten this time.
If it wasn't a non-poisonous black snake that bit him, but a poisonous snake like the Bamboo Snake …
Jiang Pengji's expression turned serious.
Beast?
Gaoyue Tribe?
