The Best Fake Eunuch

Chapter 230 Old Man Mogan

"As long as they are greedy, you can temporarily buy them with money. You have brought so much money, when will you not use it now? I will use his port and give him the money! Besides, they will not want Yan Yun The county has been taken by Wanyan Pingqiu and the others, I must hope that we useless Chinese people are still here... Hehehe!"

"That's the way to do it. We are in urgent need of food now. As long as they are willing to lease the port, I will give it to him no matter how much money they want! Later, Shi Mingtao can also give them some of the supplies that Shi Mingtao transported for free. Anyway, old man, you can do it yourself, no matter what. I will support you." Xiao Chen said.

"Hehe, our money was not brought by the strong wind. How could it be such a disaster? If we feed them all at once, wouldn't their appetites get bigger and bigger? You don't have to worry about this, old man, I will naturally I know it in my heart." Chen Jisheng stroked his beard and laughed.

"Oh...it's a pity that our strength is too weak now, otherwise it would be best to give them a slap in the face first, and then give them a sweet date... I will go with the old man and see that we two are not bad for three inches Tongue, make them dizzy!" Ye Baiqing said.

"If Bai Qing is willing to go, then I can rest assured." Xiao Chen was overjoyed.

"What's your name? I'm worried about your feelings for my old man?" Chen Jisheng was angry again.

"I'm just worried about your old man's bones! You see that you are almost as thin as Xiao Ye, you go as long as you want, but don't work too hard, it will be a burden if you lie down due to tiredness! "Xiao Chen said.

"Even if the old man is exhausted, just dig a hole and bury it, and you don't need to worry about it!" Chen Jisheng said angrily.

"How can you die? What will happen to my money if you die!" Xiao Chen and Chen Jisheng could quarrel anytime and anywhere.

"Father, the boss has good intentions. He is worried about your health. Look at your temper!" As a goddaughter, Liu Xiangqin knew it was time to speak for herself.

"Am I so rare?" Chen Jisheng asked.

"I don't care about you, you bad old man! Hurry up and go, I won't be troubled every day when I see you." Xiao Chen said.

"I only get upset when I see you brat every day. Just talking about today's matter, why did you stay in the Xianbo camp! If Li Tanhua didn't go there in time, you would have lost your life!" Chen Jisheng said loudly.

"I'm dying, let me tell you! Well, I'm too lazy to quarrel with you at night, I'll hold this for you, it's useless for me to carry it." Xiao Chen took out his governor's seal and handed it to Chen Jisheng.

"You should have taken it out a long time ago. What kind of treasure is a broken seal?" Chen Jisheng did his part, and put it away without any hesitation.

With this, it is enough, and he can represent Governor Xiao Chen to give orders to the whole county, to do things cheaply, and there is no need to appoint any officials, the governor is an imperial envoy, he is considered.

"Xiaosheng, who do you think is suitable to go with the old man and Bai Qing?" Xiao Chen looked at Zhuge Xiaosheng.

Certainly not only two hundred people for Chen Jisheng, but at least one thousand people.

In fact, he already has someone in mind, but he still needs to seek Zhuge Xiaosheng's opinion, because Zhuge Xiaosheng is now the main general in the army.

"I'd better trouble General Lin Yue to go, and I can rest assured only if you go." Zhuge Xiaosheng thought the same as Xiao Chen.

Lin Yue is a talented general with both wisdom and courage, and this important task can only be entrusted to him.

He went here not only to protect the safety of Chen Jisheng and Ye Baiqing, but also to gather those remnants and defeated generals, rearrange the defenses of important cities in various states, maintain local law and order, keep the roads open, continue to recruit and train new soldiers, and wipe out as many as possible those who are everywhere. Bandits and bandits on the run...

People who don't have a certain overall view can't take on this important task. In fact, this is tantamount to handing over the entire rear area to him.

"I obey!" Lin Yue said after pondering for a while, "But I must have at least two thousand soldiers to cope with my departure."

"Okay, I'll give you 2,000 men. In fact, 2,000 is too little, but I really can't allocate more troops at the moment, and I can't give you the heavy cavalry and musketeers, nor the light cavalry. Take the recruits who have just been recruited from Yanyun County... but you can choose some junior officers to take them with you."

"Now Yanyunguan still has some hoarded food and grass, you can take all of them, and I will give you as many mules, horses and carts as you need, and I will give you 20 crossbow carts, and you can also take some of those craftsmen. In addition, I can give you some horses, we are going to Niutoushan, mainly for defensive operations, and we don't need too many horses."

Zhuge Xiaosheng has already planned everything for him.

"Thank you, General." Lin Yue said that he had no more questions.

In fact, Wu Luolan has not officially withdrawn his troops yet, but Xiao Chen and the others have already started planning and arranging the next action in advance. This is the strength of their team.

Wu Luolan arrived as scheduled at noon the next day, and she brought only two people with her, one was the general Qiu Muling, and the other was a hunchbacked old man with gray hair, shabby clothes, wrinkled face, and a sad expression.

The old man also carried a mottled broken piano on his back, which looked like a servant.

The identities of the two people brought by Wu Luolan were so disparate, which made Xiao Chen and others feel quite strange.

"This is General Qiu Muling, and this is my groom, Old Man Mogan." Wu Luolan introduced to Xiao Chen.

I don't know why she brought a groom here?

Xiao Chen had already prepared a sumptuous banquet, since Qiu Muling came, Zhuge Xiaosheng would naturally also attend, this is called equality of specifications.

Then there are old man Chen Jisheng, Zhishen monk Li Tanhua, Ye Baiqing, and general Lin Yue as companions. This is a formal meeting of the highest level, and no one else attended.

The old man Mogan, the groom, squatted on the ground outside the tent of the Chinese army and guarded the three horses. He took out a piece of black pancake that looked like dried vegetables and miscellaneous grains from his arms, and gnawed on it with difficulty.

"Grandpa, it's too cold outside, isn't your dry food too dry? I can see that you can't chew it anymore, throw it away, and I'll take you into the tent for a hot meal." Duan Linger The girl is kind-hearted.

"No need, I have to guard the horse." Old Man Mogan smiled at Duan Linger to express his thanks, but he also sat still.

"Hey hey hey, who is that, Xiao Ye! I'm talking about you! Go to the kitchen and get me some boiled mutton, anything with bacon, some big meat buns, some boiling water, I'll be right here Let's eat with this old man!" Duan Linger also sat down in front of the old man, and she didn't think the ground was dirty.

Speaking of which, there are only two people who can order Xiao Ye like this, one is Xiao Chen, and the other is her.

Xiao Ye brought the food, sat down, and ate with the two of them.

Although the old man Mogan was very old, he had a large appetite, but he just ate in silence, neither talking nor raising his head.

He eats very politely, but he never stops, and he chews very slowly and finely, even if the oil in the buns gets on his hands, he will suck it clean, and even a piece of sheep bone will be gnawed white Let go only when there is no meat left.

Maybe only older people know how to cherish food, right?

Chapter 231 The Spirit of the Lark

"Grandpa, what kind of piano is this?" Duan Linger expressed curiosity about his broken piano.

"Matouqin." Mo Gan said.

"Ah, it's so broken, can it still be played? We have a lot of skilled craftsmen here, why don't I ask them to help you repair it?" Duan Ling'er said.

"People are getting old, so the piano is naturally old, no matter how you repair it, it can't be renewed!" Mo Gan said casually, but it also implied a lot of truths in life.

"Your Chinese language is really good, but you look like a freshman." Duan Linger is just a chatterbox.

"I'm originally from Xianbo, but when I was young, I lived in Jiangnan, China, for a few years. It's very beautiful there, but it's not as desolate as the north."

Old man Mogan was actually not good at words, but when facing such a cute and cute little girl like Duan Linger, he started to talk a lot.

"Jiangnan is so good, why do you want to come back?" Duan Linger said.

"The south of the Yangtze River is very good, but the north is my hometown. Floating weeds, leaves falling to their roots, this old bone will eventually be buried on the grassland." Oh groom.

"But you are so old, why do you still want to fight and suffer with them?" Duan Linger really had a lot of questions.

"In life, no matter where you are, you are suffering, so what's the difference?" Mo Gan said.

"Huh? Grandpa, what you said is so profound, I can't even understand it." Duan Linger thought to herself, Grandpa, can you have a good chat?

Talking like this is like my crazy boss.

"You'll understand when you get old." The wrinkles on Old Man Mogan's face were slightly unfolded, and it looked like he was smiling.

"Ah...Actually, I'm a fool. I'm afraid I'm still confused when I'm your age." Duan Ling'er sighed, and suddenly said, "Huh? Why didn't I see you yesterday?"

Her thinking jumps because there is no rule at all, and she can say whatever she thinks.

"I'm going to graze the horses. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the horses will have nothing to eat!" Old Man Mogan didn't take it seriously, and he answered whatever he asked.

"Grandpa, why do you think our two families have to fight?" Duan Linger said, "You hit me today, and I'll hit you tomorrow. Fighting back and forth, so many people died, but it was all in vain. died."

Duan Ling'er is a very contradictory girl. She is the daughter of a general, so she has always been brave and fearless, and she will not even blink when she kills.

But she is very kind at the bottom of her heart. If you ask her to kill wolves, tigers and leopards, fierce enemies, she will never be soft-hearted, but if you want her to kill chickens and sheep, or old women and children, then she will say nothing. .

She didn't think about these things at first, but after following the boss Chen Jisheng and Zhuge Xiaosheng for a long time, she always listened to them talking about these things, and in her little heart, she occasionally pondered for a while.

It's like Li Wanjiang took over the world of the big man, killed so many people, including his own family, girl, I really hate him to the bone!

But the emperor of the Han Dynasty and his parents and brothers had killed many people before, and the world of the Han Dynasty was also taken from others.

In the end, it seemed that nothing changed except for the change of dynasty, except that so many soldiers and ordinary people died.

Now the elder brother and the eldest brother are going to rebel again, no matter whether they succeed in the future, many people will definitely die...

The boss is a good man, and he must be a good emperor if he becomes an emperor, and he will definitely be well received by the common people, but what about in the future? Will his son and grandson still be good emperors?

At that time, there will be rebellions again, and the dynasty will change again. Everything will start again, the tragedy will end, and the cycle of reincarnation will never end.

You can't think about this kind of problem, and you will get confused when you think about it.

But the boss once said that if he becomes the emperor, he will pacify the whole world, including the Western Regions, the Southern Border, the East China Sea, and the North, in short, the ends of the earth.

In this way, all people will become one family, and from then on there will be peace and harmony, as close as brothers, and there will be no more wars.

It feels so magical... Nervous.

In short, she couldn't figure out these things, and she didn't quite understand them.

Old Man Mogan couldn't answer her either.

But the look in her eyes was very strange, as if she didn't expect this yellow-haired girl to ask such profound words.

"Grandpa, are you willing to fight? And did you fight when you were young?" Duan Linger retreated and asked the second.

"No, don't you see that I'm a hunchback and disabled? But I can't join the army to fight, and we are ordinary people, so of course we don't want to fight." Old Man Mogan felt that Duan Linger's question was becoming more and more difficult to answer.

"Actually, I hated you Xianbo people quite a lot at first, but later I heard from Mr. Chen and the others that we didn't kill people from your tribe back then, and it seemed that we killed you very badly, so now I don't want to kill you." How can I hate you, but if there is a fight, I will kill you!" Duan Linger said that her position has not changed.

But many of her previous thoughts were unconsciously and gradually changed by the boss Xiao Chen...

"What's your name, little girl?" Elder Mo Gan already looked at Duan Ling'er with admiration.

"My name is Duan Linger, the spirit of the lark." Duan Linger hurriedly said.

"Well, your voice is really as sweet as that of a lark, do you know? According to legends outside, larks are the messengers of peace. Whenever their cries resound on the grassland, everyone They will put down their guns..."

Old Man Mogan stared at the sky with cloudy eyes, as if a lark was flying quietly in the distance.

The negotiation between Xiao Chen and Wu Luolan went very smoothly, maybe because of being disturbed by Sheertu yesterday, both Wu Luolan and Qiu Muling felt sorry for Xiao Chen, so they made a big concession when negotiating terms.

In other words, they all saw the current situation clearly.

But at the moment they can only talk about the retreat of Xianbo and the handover after their retreat. As for the future trade, Wu Luolan said that it is still uncertain.

Because her father's attitude towards her is very ambiguous now, I don't know what will happen to me after I go back, maybe I will directly remove her military power and abolish her title of prince.

She can only try her best to persuade her father, but presumably this kind of thing that is extremely beneficial to both parties, her father will agree.

Wu Luolan promised to return all the plundered common people to Xiao Chen, as well as more than half of the property and food, which was already hard to come by, and Xiao Chen and the others were basically satisfied, and did not put forward other conditions even further.

Out of consideration for the current complicated situation, the two parties did not sign any written treaty, but only formed an oral contract.

The Xianbo people attach great importance to the contract, and once they make a promise, they will never go back on it.

The next step is to discuss details such as the time and place of the handover. Both parties feel that the sooner the better, it is best to complete the handover today.

Because everyone wants to act quickly, and no one wants to delay too much here.
