Chapter 277: "Blackmail" as the opening scene

Destiny is on the battlefield, and this is the innate orientation of every warlike and powerful nation to men. In the same way, it is the hope that every powerful dynasty places on the men of the country.

But in Liu Xing's thoughts, belligerence should be, but it should not be the only theme of a man's life.

What about conquering the world? Won the world, but lost yourself and the people you loved. Many people understand this truth, but few people can really stay calm and continue to stick to their true selves when the great luck comes.

However, Liu Xing is an exception, although in the eyes of Zong Ze, Zhang Suo, and even more people recently, the frequency of Liu Xing's evil diseases and mania attacks has reached an alarming level.

In fact, only Liu Xing knew in his heart that it was just a catharsis and an outburst under great pressure. Only by properly going crazy and committing his own evil illness can Liu Xing ensure that he will not lose himself in the face of great power and pressure, and will not lose himself and the people he loves......

So when he heard Jia Gu Yu say that men are born to talk about life on the battlefield, Liu Xing's face was a smile, a smile of disdain and disdain.

With such a smile, his eyes pressed against Jia Gu Yu, Liu Xing said: "Who told you that men are born to be on the battlefield?" Don't your father and brother want your wife and children to live a beautiful little life? Are they really willing to rush to kill and fight for their lives for the emperor's selfish desires? If that were the case, your father would not love you and love you, and he would not have consulted with me several times for your sake. ”

For several months, the serene Jiagu Yu was placed under house arrest in the Hunter Valley. Although she didn't want to be watched by a group of female soldiers of the Song Kingdom with hounds like this all the time, she also knew that Liu Xing would not kill her.

The biggest thing that calms her down. It is also Jia Guyu who firmly believes that as long as Liu Xing does not kill her, her father will definitely try his best to save her.

Father's love for her. She knows. There is no parent in the world who does not love their children. So when he heard Liu Xing's words, his face changed slightly, becoming a little sad and a little helpless.

Seeing that her complexion had changed, but she didn't say anything against herself, Liu Xing picked up the tea bowl in front of her and took a sip of tea.

When he put down the tea bowl, Liu Xing's expression suddenly became a little angry, and he stood up and said: "Who is willing to give up his family and abandon his career to go to the battlefield, which man is not affectionate." If it weren't for your Jurchen master, who launched this war in order to seize my Great Song Dynasty. Why should we be men from the Central Plains who leave home and risk our lives? ”

As soon as these words fell, Liu Xingxin paced up and continued: "Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, the wealth that you Jinguo people want is sought by danger, but my Central Plains people just want to rely on diligence and rely on their own one-third of an acre of land to obtain. ”

His tone softened a little, Liu Xing looked at Jia Gu Yu and continued, "I believe that you have seen it clearly during your time in the Hunter Valley. Our Central Plains people are not a warlike nation, nor are they the kind of people who want to make a windfall from war and get rich by plundering. So arrest you, lock you up, your father knows it, I know it, I believe you know it, this is a helpless choice. ”

This was to explain to her why he had to enter Xinzhou at night and tie her up like a meat ticket in the Hunter Valley. Jia Gu Yu suddenly heard that such a legendary commander of the Song Army, who was murderous and bloodthirsty no less than those masters of the Jin Kingdom, would actually explain this to her. Suddenly looked at Liu Xing with a surprised look on his face.

After her eyes locked on her body, Liu Xing raised her hand and pointed to the scar on her cheek: "Do you see it?" This is the scar you Jinguo people left on me. There are more Central Plains men with more serious scars on their bodies than mine. The physical scars are easy to heal, but the psychological damage caused by you Jurchens to the Han people in the Central Plains is difficult to erase. ”

At this point, Liu Xing stopped talking slightly, walked back to his place and sat down.

Still under Jia Gu Yu's attention, Liu Xing's face became a little cold and said: "Compared with the pain caused by the Jurchens to my Central Plains people, I only temporarily captured you and put you under house arrest, but I did not kill you. I believe you should understand my helplessness, and you should also understand my intentions. ”

Obedient again, Liu Xing looked up at the outside of the house, and then said: "I don't want war to become the theme of this world, but whoever has involved my children in the Central Plains in the war, I will only give him endless pain." I hope you will take my words back to Yunzhong Mansion to tell your father and every Jurchen around you. If a friend comes, there is good wine, and if a jackal comes, the only thing that greets them is a musket. ”

"Youβ€”are you going to let me go back to my father and brother?" After listening to Liu Xing's words, Jia Guyu asked with wide eyes.

First nodded slightly, then shook his head again, Liu Xing said: "I want to let you go back to reunite with them, but not now." Because now that the war between the two countries is coming to an end, the defeat of your Dajin Kingdom is decided. If I let you go back at this time, your father will surely be suspicious and will bring ruin to your family. So I want you to take a leave of absence now, so that your father can do the following things for me. As long as he does, as soon as the two countries cease fighting, I promise to send you home immediately. ”

"Take me as a threat, and ask my father for conditions?"

As soon as he heard Liu Xing's words, Jia Guyu's face suddenly showed a disdainful and disdainful smile: "Thanks to the soldiers under your command and the people under your rule, you are still regarded as a hero of the world, and it turns out that you are just a young man." I have been blackmailing my father for so long, and you still want me to come to the book in person, don't think about it. ”

Suddenly, seeing that Gu Yu, who looked unusually weak, made such a reaction, Liu Xing was also slightly stunned.

But soon, Liu Xing smiled helplessly and said: "I was just a wandering Langzhong, and what heroes have nothing to do with me." I am a mortal, and it was your father and you Jurchens who forced me to this day. Besides, if I ask you to leave your book, it is not to embarrass your father, and the conditions put forward can be regarded as a win-win situation. ”

"Win-win?" Hearing such a word, Jia Gu Yu's eyes showed surprise and asked, "What is a win-win situation?" What conditions do you have to make? ”

Seeing him ask, Liu Xing took another sip of tea and said, "I only have three conditions. The first is to ask your father to immediately withdraw the left and right soldiers and horses outside the Yanmen Pass, and set up a no-man's land and a ceasefire line between the two armies. The second is to ask your father to report to Wu to buy the old thief, and allow the Yanmen Pass to open a field. The third condition is to ask your father to raise a thousand catties of gold within three months in exchange for you to go back. ”

"Huh?"

The first two conditions don't seem to have much to do with Jia Gu Yu. When she heard that Liu Xing wanted to ask her father for a thousand catties of gold on her terms, Jia Guyu was stunned and screamed.

Hearing her exclaim, Liu Xing still smiled faintly: "In my Central Plains' title for wealthy women, most of them are called daughters. Thousands of catties of gold for his daughter, no matter what your father says, he is also the boss of the Jin country, it shouldn't be difficult to get a thousand catties of gold, right? He loves you so much, I believe he won't care about this thousand catties of gold, right? ”

"You, you, what a bastard!"

After hearing Liu Xing's words, Jia Gu Yu stood up from the chair suddenly, pointed at Liu Xing with his finger and shouted angrily: "You are a dignified prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and you actually went to kidnap and blackmail, you are such a bastard!" One thousand catties, do you think my father is the emperor of my Dajin Kingdom! In three months, where did he go to get so much gold? ”

Her anger had long been expected by Liu Xing, a thousand catties of gold, what kind of concept was that? That is equal to half of Hedong's tax income for a year, and a thousand catties of gold can buy 130,000 stone of grain and feed 100,000 people for a month.

Such a sky-high price, not to mention that Jiagu Xie Nu can't take it out at once, I'm afraid that only the emperor Lao'er Wu can buy it in the entire Jin country......

Knowing the value of this thousand catties of gold, Liu Xing showed an indifferent look when he was scolded by Jia Guyu: "Your father has followed Wu Qimai and the two brothers to fight for so many years, and he should have saved some family funds. If he doesn't have enough money, he can sell slaves and borrow money from others! A thousand catties of gold in exchange for his baby daughter, this condition is already very cheap. ”

Seeing Liu Xing like this, Jia Guyu was completely so angry that he couldn't speak.

She would never have thought that the grand Song Dynasty Taifu would be able to do such a scoundrel deed that was even more scoundrel than those who were splashed in the market.

She could never have imagined that a person who had already hoarded gold coins in the Hunter Valley, which was said to be several large treasury gold coins, would actually exchange her for a thousand catties of gold......

"Taifu, Wang Mingde and Wang Zhuan are in a hurry to ask for a meeting."

Just when Jia Guyu was so angry that her whole body trembled and she didn't know what to say, suddenly there was a voice outside the door.

It was the voice of Lei Zhen, and when Liu Xing heard this announcement, he didn't talk immediately.

Looking at Jia Gu Yu with a strange smile, Liu Xing said evilly: "It seems that you have really made friends with the powerful people of our dynasty in the Hunter Valley!" That's why I 'invited' you here, and someone immediately chased after you, afraid that I would be embarrassed for you. ”

The reason why Liu Xing said this was because he had already heard from the subordinates of the two yamen of Tian Cewei and the Hunter Valley that during this period of time, Wang Mingde would go to see the daughter of the general of the Jin State in front of him almost every day.

According to the situation obtained by Liang Xing's secret monitoring, Jia Gu Yu, who is proficient in Central Plains poetry and Han culture, has secretly fallen in love with Wang Mingde, who can also write poetry and paint, and talk wittily.

Wang Mingde is a "womanizer", but his "lustful" heart will never attack at will. His stupidity and his truthfulness can only be understood by Liu Xing and a few other people today.

The reason why Liu Xing wants to find Jia Guyu today is actually just the opening scene of a series of big schemes and big plans to seize Yanmen's hometown. The first heroine is Jia Gu Yu, and the first male protagonist in this opening scene is actually Wang Mingde who Liu Xing selected. (To be continued......)
