Chapter 699: Refusal
Cheng Xiaolian got cheap and behaved: "The lesson of Madame is that next time you don't dare to make your own decisions." Saying that, he laughed helplessly: "Even if the Mao family doesn't have that meaning now, it may not be born in the future, and now cut off contact with them, at least there is still a love in it, and no matter what happens in the future, it can always help." ”
Mao Ruoling knew that this was meant for her, and nodded: "The husband is thoughtful, but I am wrong to blame the husband." ”
Wen Duruo sighed helplessly: "You, you're a useless one." ”
Cheng Xiaolian suddenly remembered something: "These days when I am not there, you try not to go out, something may happen in Chengdu Mansion, there are no other neighbors around our mansion, and we can hold on for some time if something happens, but there is still a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. ”
Wen Duruo immediately had a bad premonition when he heard this: "Is something going to happen?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "It's best not to do anything, but if it does, don't panic, our enemies want to enter the mansion, but I'm afraid that they don't have such a good mouth." ”
Leaving his mansion and leaving Chengdu Mansion, Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Yang Youcai: "Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?" ”
"The emperor can rest assured, if the fish dare not bite the bait, then they are lucky, as long as they dare to mouth, the hook of the minister will make them have nothing to hide."
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "I really want to see if they have a good life today, and they don't know how many catties and taels they have." Others may forget, but Cheng Xiaolian will not forget that when he first saw Zhu Civa, the king of Qi, he looked depressed and ate two chickens in one meal.
Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned: "Do you think we will worry too much?" When he was down like this, how could he still hold the treasure of the Ming Dynasty in his hand? ”
Yang Youcai seems to have thought about this question a long time ago: "When the world was not chaotic, they may not dare to move this idea, after all, such a large sum of silver, with a few of them, it is impossible to get it, once the number of people is large, it has attracted the attention of the government, I am afraid that the silver will not be able to get it, and the head will not be saved." ”
Cheng Xiaolian thought about it, it is indeed such a truth, find serious people to help, those people will definitely report to the government when they see so much silver, if they find unserious people, they are afraid that they are likely to be blackened, so at first they sat on the treasure and did not dare to move a cent, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, they dared to secretly get the silver out.
Two days later, Cheng Xiaolian took people to the foot of the mountain where Mu Xiaodi was detained, and Mu Xiaodi's family general saw Cheng Xiaolian arrive, and his sad face had a little smile: "Meet the emperor." ”
"Okay, no need to be polite, what's going on." In fact, when he was on the road, Cheng Xiaolian already knew about the situation, but it was safer to listen to others again.
"Originally, our prince had already agreed with the leader of the mountain, and they were also willing to belong to the rule of our Xuanfu Division, and pay a certain amount of taxes every year in exchange for the grain seeds and coarse cloth we provided to them, but when the prince went up the mountain five days ago, the leader of the barbarian tribe said that there was a treasure at home that he wanted to take the prince to see, and said that this treasure could only be shown to nobles like him, so we didn't follow up."
Said a person next to him picked up the conversation: "What we thought at the beginning was that since they were already willing to submit, this matter is good for everyone, and they don't need to deal with the prince again, besides, these toasts have their own customs, and we don't want to offend them because of this, so we let the prince go in with him, who knows that the prince was tied up by them after he entered, they ordered us to go down the mountain immediately, without delay, we are worried about the life of the prince, so we can only listen to their words, and come down the mountain to report to the Chengdu government as soon as possible." ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "You know all this, what conditions did they set to release people?" ”
The family general looked dazed: "Conditions? They didn't ask for any conditions. ”
Cheng Xiaolian frowned: "They kidnapped the prince of Daming and didn't mention the conditions, is it because they have a grudge against Daming?" ”
The general was ashamed: "After we went down the mountain, the six gods had no owner, and we haven't gone up the mountain since we passed the news back to Chengdu Mansion." ”
Cheng Xiaolian nodded, what these people did was not excessive, now Mu Xiaodi is in their hands, if they rashly go up the mountain, it will cause a misunderstanding, I am afraid that it will harm Mu Xiaodi's life.
"Yang Youcai, if you find someone to go and shout, just say that the Ming Emperor is here, let the leader of the mountain come out to meet."
The mountain is also chaotic at this time, after all, since there is this mountain, there has been no emperor in person, and now they have created history, but creating history requires a price, and they are already in chaos at this time.
"I said it a long time ago, we are just barbarians in the eyes of others, people don't care if they don't care, we don't need to provoke others, it's better now, no one wants to live."
"Also, because we tied up the descendants of Mu Wangye, all the toasts on the various mountains have spoken, we have broken the rules, and we will not belong to the toast in the future, and no one will help us."
The leader sitting in the middle roared, "Enough! I also discussed this with you when I first started doing this, what did you say at the beginning? Now I want to regret it again, and tell you that there will be no white rice in the sky, and if you want to live well, you have to take risks. ”
"But now that the people down the mountain want to see us, what should we do?"
"No, just spend it with them."
"What if they attack?"
"Push that prince out, I don't believe they dare to take his life."
After everyone discussed, there was only one way to do it, and the leader spoke again: "Let our warriors be vigilant, but don't let people go up the mountain in the dark." ”
Cheng Xiaolian stayed at the bottom of the mountain for nearly an hour and no one came down the mountain, Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "It looks like they are planning to be a turtle with a shrunken head?" ”
Yang Youcai frowned: "But in this case, it is impossible for us to attack the mountain, after all, Mu Xiaowang is in their hands, and we have to take care of his safety." ”
Cheng Xiaolian thought for a while: "Let people shout and tell them that if they don't come down to negotiate, let's go up the mountain, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”
Yang Youcai was stunned for a moment: "They shouldn't believe that we will do it." ”
"I'm the emperor, have you ever seen that the emperor cares about the safety of the prince?" Seeing that Mu Xiaodi's faces changed around him, Cheng Xiaolian hurriedly explained to them: "The more we show that we care, the more fearless they will be, only if we don't care about it, they will send Mu Xiaodi down the mountain." ”
