"Oh? Dare to ask, Qin Wei is at war, what needs to be negotiated? But ask for peace?" Zhuge Liang said, and the words were like arrows. . ,,.

1151: Controversy of Words

Li Si was silent for a while, knowing that the role he was facing today was not easy to deal with. With such a tongue, he might be well versed in the art of vertical and horizontal, and he would definitely not be able to argue.

So, he said straight to the point: "No, I came this time to redeem General Mengwu, and secondly, to agree on a truce, not for peace."

"It is to redeem General Mengwu, but also to offer a truce, what is it if it is not seeking peace?" Zhuge Liang sneered.

With a good tongue, Li Si sighed, if this person was born in Zhang Yi's era, I am afraid that Zhang Yi might have an opponent, so he smiled and said: "It is not to seek peace, just because I can't bear the suffering of the people of Huaicheng, and I am a general. He is seriously injured and needs to rest."

"No, the people of Huaicheng are reluctant to let you all leave like this." Zhuge Liang raised his eyelids without giving face at all, and opened his mouth to offend people, "Oh, your army can stay for a few more days."

Liston was a little annoyed at the time, and if he stayed for half a day, he would be attacked from the front and back, and eventually he would lose Meng Wu!

However, Zhuge Liang suddenly laughed and said: "Since it is a truce, it is easy to say that the ransom is [-] taels of gold, and the life of General Meng Wu, you can take it back."

Li Si frowned when he heard the words, but the ten thousand taels of gold was a little too much, and he could even buy half of the city, and said, "It is not impossible for ten thousand taels of gold, but this time, the army is full of food and grass. , there is not much gold and silver, and after calculation, it is only four thousand taels."

Zhuge Liang naturally did not believe it, and insisted: "General Mengwu is injured. Ten thousand taels of gold can be treated for the general before delivery."

In fact, Meng Wu's wounds have already been treated.

Li Si knew that Zhuge Liang was threatening, but there was nothing he could do. Meng Wu's life was really important, he sighed and said, "It's really only four thousand taels... However, to raise funds, five thousand taels should still be available. of."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhuge Liang and waited for the latter to make a decision.

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang couldn't hold back too tightly, so he had to say: "Your Excellency, you and I know how much the life of General Mengwu is worth, but I would rather use the life of General Mengwu in exchange for Huaicheng's. long peace."

Knowing that Zhuge Liang was relieved, Li Si nodded and said, "The people of Huaicheng are innocent and should not suffer, just as your Excellency said."

After he finished speaking, he sighed deeply, showing pity for the common people.

Zhuge Liang also followed suit, and then the two set up a document, and then agreed to make a deal at dawn today.

Li Si left, and Liu Rui still recalled the battle between the two of them. Although they only said a few words, they decided a life, a battle, and five thousand taels of gold, which was terrifying.

In the absence of plague or fire, it is more effective than thousands of troops and horses. Although it sounds like Zhuge Liang is aggressive, in fact, Li Si's seemingly plain words have made him lose [-] taels of gold. and the question of face.

"Kong Ming, it's amazing, with your mouth, I'm afraid you can bring the dead back to life." Liu Rui walked into the tent, laughed and joked, "Why don't you talk to the dead soldiers, okay? Let them live too?"

Zhuge Liang coughed twice awkwardly, and said with a smile, "I'm much worse than Zhang Yi's first-class..."

"Look, look, you've even compared yourself to Zhang Yi, and you're not too good?" Liu Rui laughed, "Who is Zhang Yi, but someone who can deceive the ruler of a country into the territory of another country... tsk tsk... …”

The two joked for a while, and then brought Meng Wu out and released Meng Wu. The latter was also very honest. At dawn, Li Si brought [-] taels of gold. Wu gave it back.

When they said goodbye, Li Si fell behind alone, stood on the spot, and asked, "Dare to ask the names of the two Your Excellencies?"

Liu Rui and Zhuge smiled and told Li Si their names.

Li Si kept his name firmly in his heart, and bowed his hands to Liu Rui: "Li Si farewell."

Then, he turned and left without looking back.

Liu Rui and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, the latter said, "My lord, I'm afraid this Li Si remembers you, so be careful in the future."

Liu Rui shrugged and said, "Don't you remember Kong Ming too, if there are more assassins in the future, I'll be very good."

Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes and pouted, but saw Jian Yong running up, looking at the dozen or so large boxes on the ground, and laughed: "A lot of money..."

"Xianhe, so much money is not yours." Liu Rui sighed and said.

It's not that he hit people, but this money is definitely not Jian Yong's. What does it mean when you look like a miser?

Jian Yong asked people to move the gold to the transportation camp, and smiled: "Master, you don't know about this, right? There is more money, and when the master finds me in the future, I will have money to take out, so I don't have to go everywhere. went begging..."

begging?Zhuge Liang laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and Liu Rui was a little speechless. Isn't it just to raise supplies, why is it so ugly.

But he didn't know. Originally, Jian Yong was going to say that he would not have to conscience and lick his face to fool people. If he didn't think that he would offend Liu Rui, Jian Yong probably said it just now.

"Hey... keep it well, um, this money will be of great use in the future..." Liu Rui stroked his forehead and continued, "The more materials, the better, this amount of money is not enough."

"Isn't it enough?" Jian Yong glanced at Liu Rui uncertainly, and only after seeing the lord nodding his head with certainty, he wailed and left the place exhausted...

At this time, the people in the city knew the news of the retreat of the Qin army, and they all came to the street to celebrate.

Some people were wearing hemp and wearing filial piety. All of them died in their families. Most of them were family members of soldiers. Liu Rui asked people to send pensions, and he was instantly grateful to countless people.

At this time, Liu Ruicai announced the news of the death of the prefect, and he temporarily took the post of the prefect. The people were sad at first, and then cheered. If Liu Rui became the prefect in the future, why would they be afraid of the Qin army?

With a mere [-] people, and more than half of them were recruits, they even captured Meng Wu alive and repelled [-] Qin troops. Thinking of Liu Rui's previous achievements, the people of Huaicheng calmed down and praised Liu Rui. The savior of Waicheng.

Many homes even enshrined Liu Ruilai as the patron saint of Huaicheng.

Liu Rui didn't know about this. He was busy taking care of the wound right now. The wound on his chest had begun to fester. The yellowish pus and blood slowly flowed out from it. He couldn't help but sigh. Gotta worry. . ,,.

1152: Lord Xinling

Looking at the wound, Liu Rui couldn't help but think of the female assassin named Qiang Bing. She was really good at it. I'm afraid that even going to assassinate the king of a country can have great success.

Unlike others, assassinating the monarch is actually very rare. In the palace, there are layers of guards protecting him, and there are countless experts. Even Liu Rui can't guarantee that he can enter the palace quietly and then assassinate the monarch.

However, even if he succeeded, he would not be able to escape completely. No matter how powerful an assassin, if he entered the palace, even if he succeeded in assassinating him, he would eventually die there.

Therefore, ordinary assassins will not take on the task of assassinating the king of a country.

Just after the Mao Shi, the Qin army might have already evacuated from the Wei-Qin border. At this time, the sound of horses’ hooves suddenly made a loud noise outside the city, and the sound of gold and iron kept coming. Liu Rui hurriedly called Zhuge Liang and others to greet him.
