166. Negotiate conditions
"Do you dare to guarantee that everything you say will be delivered?" Cao Song asked Nian Ming with a puzzled face.
"Do you think I need to lie to you, a defeated man? And what do you have to deceive me? Nian Ming said to Cao Song with a smile.
"It's just that there's no need to lie to a little person like me, but I'm still not very relieved, unless you make a big oath not to break your oath, otherwise it will be doomed."
"Yes, I can swear a demonic oath, but don't lie to me."
"Don't worry, if you can't trust me, you can also let me make a demon oath like this! And we're even. Cao Song said to Nian Ming with a smile.
"In that case, let's start swearing!"
"You come first." Cao Song said to Nian Ming indifferently.
"The way of heaven is above, and I, the commander-in-chief of Jinyi Guard, made Nian Ming swear here, that after Cao Song, the former head of the Cao family, surrendered, he must not embarrass the young children of the Cao family, otherwise I am willing to suffer from all kinds of disasters." Not long after Nian Ming made the Great Oath of the Heart Demon, the Heavenly Dao sent down auspicious signs. This means that the Heavenly Dao has recognized this heart demon oath, so Nian Ming must not embarrass the person who swore just now. Otherwise, you will suffer from a catastrophe from which you will never recover.
"Now that you've made good on your promise, it's time for me to make good on my promise."
"Heaven is above, the old man swears by Cao Song, the former head of the Cao family, and gives up resistance after letting go of my Cao family's young child in the Jinyi Wei command room, if there is a disobedience, I am willing to suffer from a catastrophe." However, after a while, the Heavenly Dao descended another auspicious rui, which represented the Heavenly Dao and had already acknowledged this oath.
"Okay, the old man has also completed it according to the requirements, now you can let them go!"
"Of course there's no problem, let's go out first, this secret room is too dark, I don't like to talk too much in a dark place."
"Let's go, let's go out!" Then the people in the secret room walked out of the secret room one after another.
After coming to the ground, Nian Ming said to Cao Song with a smile: "Now I'll take you to see them to see if I really do what I say." ”
"I have one more request, though."
"Tell the old man, what else do you want?"
"I can let go of the middle-aged generation of your Cao family, but I can't let them continue to rebel, otherwise Your Majesty will personally take action in the future, and I won't be blamed."
"Please rest assured of this, the old man will carefully tell them not to take revenge for the sake of his juniors."
"Alright, let's go!" After speaking, Nian Ming took Cao Song to a large room.
Outside this large room, there were several brocade guards guarding it. These Jinyi guards said respectfully to Nian Ming: "I'll wait for the commander. ”
"Let's all be exempt, are all the old and young women and children of the Cao family inside?"
"If you go back to the commander, those people are inside, unless it's an adult, do you want to deal with them?"
"I'm not trying to get rid of them, I'm going to let them go. Go and bring a few middle-aged men from the Cao family over, and then bring out the young children and old people of the Cao family. ”
"Yes, my lord, I'll go and ask them to bring people over." Soon, the brocade guard took several brocade guards to another room.
Soon the man led these people to the room, and then the brocade guards smiled and said to the person in charge of guarding the room, "The commander asked us to bring a few people." ”
"Just tell us who you need to bring."
"Let's bring five people out first!" Then the brocade guards who were in charge of guarding opened the door.
Several other brocade guards walked in after this brocade guard opened the door, and soon these brocade guards who were in charge of carrying people walked out with five middle-aged men.
After taking the people with them, the people returned to the courtyard where Nian Ming was.
Then the brocade guard who had left before said respectfully to Nian Ming: "The commander has already brought you the person you want, and the person is now outside the courtyard." ”
"Let's go, take those people with you, and we'll go and meet together." Then Nian Ming and the others came to the outside of the courtyard, and Cao Song followed closely behind and came to the outside of the courtyard.
After seeing Cao Song, these middle-aged men said to Cao Song excitedly: "Old master, why did you also get caught by him, you run away, leave us alone." ”
"Shut up for me! Do you have a part in speaking? The person in charge of the guards said to the middle-aged people in a contemptuous tone.
"How can you be so rude to them? Stand down! Nian Ming smiled and said to the Jinyi Guard, who was only responsible for guarding the middle-aged people.
"Yes, Commander." Then the men stepped aside.
"Are you speaking directly here, or are you talking to them individually?" Nian Ming said to Cao Song with a smile.
"Of course I'm going to talk to them alone, and I hope you can help me find a room, after all, I'm going to talk about it very secretively. This can also be said to be my family's secret, so it is inconvenient for you to know. ”
"Okay, I'll have someone take you there." After speaking, Nian Ming called a brocade guard.
"What do you command, Commander?"
"You take them to a room, they have a private conversation to talk about." Nian Ming said to this brocade guard with a smile.
"It's the commander, I'll do it." After saying that, the brocade guard led these people to a silent room according to Nian Ming's instructions.
After bringing the people here, the brocade guard smiled and said to them, "If you have anything to say, go inside and say it, but remember to hurry." ”
"Don't worry, I promise I'll be out soon." After speaking, Cao Song pushed open the door of this room.
"Let's go in, I have something to command you." Cao Song said to these middle-aged men.
After saying that, everyone entered the room, and then the brocade guard stood guard outside the door.
After entering this room, these middle-aged men said to Cao Song with a smile: "Old master, run away!" Leave us alone. As long as you escape, there is hope. And the family has already been sent out by the younger generation of the family, so you just go away! ”
"Why did Meng De already send them out, so why didn't you say it earlier?"
"What happened to the old master? Why are you so pale? ”
"The old man has already made a deal with that person in exchange for your life, so I can't leave now."
"Old master, what kind of deal did you make with that brocade-robed man? As for making you rush like this. ”
"In order to get your glimmer of life, I have made a great oath in my heart, and I will let that person dispose of it, so I can't leave. If I walk away like this, I will never recover. ”
"But if you don't leave, who will lead the others in the future? The family can't afford to lose your pillar! ”
"You can hear it clearly now, I have to write down every word I say in a minute, otherwise the old man will not let you go even under Jiuquan."
"What do you want to tell us, you are so mysterious?"
"You have heard clearly, from now on you must forget about the feud. Don't have any hope of revenge, otherwise the old man will not let you go. ”
"Why can't the old master take revenge on them?"
"What do you think of our family's previous background?"
"Do you need to talk about that? Our family's previous heritage was first-class. One of the middle-aged men said proudly.
"And now?" Cao Song's words made these middle-aged men fall silent.
"Why are you silent? Don't you keep saying that you still want revenge? Why are they all silent now. ”
"Please forgive me, I made a mistake. almost brought ruin to the family again, and asked the old family owner to punish him. ”
"Yes, just know what's wrong. I warn you not to think about revenge after you leave, otherwise your family will bring ruin to the earth, and you will indeed become sinners for the ages. Do you understand? Can you understand the old man's hard work? ”
"Old family master, don't worry, we will definitely restrain them, and the younger generation of the family, we will not educate them, let them think about revenge, you can rest assured!"
"I'm relieved of these promises, okay I should leave, you should leave too. By the way, after you leave, you will go to Xiahou's house to find the head of Xiahou's family. After all, he was not involved in this matter, and the emperor should let him go. From now on you will stay in his family. By the way, Ziyu helped the old man grind ink, and the old man wanted to write a letter to the head of the Xiahou family. ”
"Yes, uncle." The middle-aged man said to Cao Song with a smile.
Then Ziyu began to polish ink for Cao Song, and then Cao Song began to write letters.
Soon Cao Song wrote the letter, and then blew the letter. Then Cao Song put the letter into the envelope, and then said to the middle-aged men with a smile: "You go to join the head of the Xiahou family, just give him this letter, he will understand what I mean." ”
"But does the old master do this? What if the head of the Xiahou family doesn't recognize our letter? ”
"You can rest assured, even if he bears all the pressure, he will accept you. If it really doesn't work, wait a minute, I'm talking to that person about the conditions, and see if he agrees. ”
"Will the old man agree?"
"It should be, because he has already made a great oath of demons, as the saying goes, a good man will do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, he should take care of you." Cao Song said to these middle-aged men with a smile.
"But what if the old master doesn't agree!"
"It's okay if you don't agree, I think with my relationship with the head of the Xiahou family, he will accept you."
