Episode 10 Chapter 485
Chapter 485
Lingshuang could understand Tang Yin's words, but she didn't think that the two countries An and Huan were so prone to war. Although King Huan was impulsive, he valued emotions, and King An was greedy, but timid and cautious. Their personalities happened to complement each other. Full text read.
Tang Yin and Ling Shuang were chatting. The old man had already boiled the boiling water. He originally wanted to make tea for Tang Yin and Ling Shuang, but was stopped by Ah San and Ah Si. The two of them first tested the boiling water and found that there was no problem. Then he took matters into his own hands and made the tea.
Finally drinking the fragrant tea, Lingshuang showed a look of satisfaction on her face and praised: "The Fengcha brought by Brother Wang tastes really good."
Tang Yin smiled and said: "If Sister Wang likes it, I will send some to the Jade Kingdom."
"Thank you very much, Brother Wang." "You're welcome."
The two chatted while drinking tea. Time passed quickly. It felt like only a moment. The tea in the bowl had bottomed out. Looking outside, the sun was not so bright. Tang Yin said to Lingshuang: "Sister Wang, the time has passed. It’s not early, we still have to hurry.”
When she heard that she was on her way again, Lingshuang suddenly felt tired, but she didn't want to delay the entire army's schedule because of her own relationship. She beat her sore legs and said helplessly: "Brother Wang, let's go!"
As she spoke, she stood up, smiled at the old man again, and said, "Old man, I'm sorry, I'm being presumptuous, but I hope you won't be offended."
The old man's expression was extremely unnatural. He forced a smile without smiling. He clasped his rough hands and said, "No...no...you're welcome..." The old man didn't know what to call Lingshuang, and beads of sweat ran down his cheeks. Falling down hard.
Are you that terrible? Lingshuang shook her head secretly, finding it difficult to understand the old man's nervous mood.
She looked around and sighed in her heart, this place couldn't be considered a home. I'm afraid the most shabby room in the palace where she lived would be a thousand times better than this one. She was silent for a moment and waved to a female bodyguard outside the room.
The female guard hurriedly walked into the room and stepped in to salute. Lingshuang asked in a low voice: "Do you have any silver on you?"
The female guard was startled for a moment, then reached back and took out a small purse from her waist, and handed it to Lingshuang respectfully. The latter took it, without looking at how much money was in it, and handed it to the old man, saying, "Old man , we are destined to meet each other, and we have been begging for mercy for so long, so please accept it. "
Ling Shuang's words were polite and her tone was gentle, but there was a sense of oppression when she spoke that was hard to refuse. Perhaps this is the natural temperament, or aura, of a king who is accustomed to giving orders.
The old man took the money bag numbly and looked at Lingshuang blankly, forgetting to thank him for a moment.
Lingshuang didn't care at all. She looked around with a smile and said: "The old man's home should also be equipped with some new furnishings. The house should also be demolished and rebuilt..." While speaking, Lingshuang walked to the room on the right. In front of the door, he pushed the door open.
Seeing this, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he almost collapsed to the ground on the spot. He wanted to stop Ling Shuang, but it was too late.
With a creaking sound, the bedroom door was opened. Before Lingshuang could even see clearly what was going on, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared, pressing on her neck.
It was a shining steel knife.
Tang Yin was about to walk out of the small thatched house, and he had already stepped out with one foot, but the sudden change behind him made him immediately retract his foot. The female guard who was still in the room was even more frightened. She subconsciously drew her sword and shouted loudly: "Who is it?"
Taking a closer look, he saw a group of strong men wearing Mo army armor standing in the inner room of the small thatched house. One of them was holding a sword. At this time, the edge of the sword was almost touching the skin of Lingshuang's neck.
Is it Mo Jun? ! Tang Yin was shocked, but he quickly calmed down and calmly analyzed the situation on the field. Looking at the clothes of these Mo soldiers, their helmets are crooked, their faces are gray, and there is no spiritual pressure. They are obviously not a regular resistance force, they may be the remaining deserters. If they are really scattered troops, then their presence here is not serious. It was premeditated, but happened to happen to him and Ling Shuang. Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why the old man had always been so nervous. With so many Mo soldiers hidden in the house, I am afraid that no matter who it was, he would have his heart in his throat. It seemed that Lingshuang's intuition was not wrong. The old man was indeed Unusually, I was just being careless.
"Don't come here. If you take one more step forward, I will kill her!" Mo Bing, who held Lingshuang with a knife, had a ferocious face and roared at everyone in the room with a blushing neck. The other Mo soldiers hiding in the inner room were also grinning and holding weapons.
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, he walked up to the old man with a strong step, grabbed the old man's neck with his big hands, and said coldly: "Let her go immediately, or I will break his neck!"
Unexpectedly, Tang Yin's movements were so fast. Mo Bing's eyes were blurred as Tang Yin, who was at the door of the room, flashed to the old man's side. The old man was shaking with fear, his eyes rolled white, and he might faint at any time. If Tang Yin hadn't held his neck, he would have fallen to the ground by now. The little girl next to him ran up to Tang Yin, grabbed his arm, and shouted loudly: "Let go of my grandpa, let go of my grandpa——"
The Mo soldiers obviously didn't care much about the old man's life and death. One of them said with a ferocious smile: "We are not related to this old guy, so you can kill her if you want, but we will definitely not let her go!"
While talking, Mo Bing reached out and pulled Lingshuang into the inner room. At the same time, several steel knives were placed on Lingshuang's slender neck.
This damned bunch of guys! Tang Yin also understood that these Mo soldiers should have fled to the old man's house, but things became more difficult. He stared at the Mo soldiers expressionlessly, without saying a word.
Because Tang Yin and Lingshuang were talking quietly, and the Mo soldiers were hiding in the inner room, they could not hear their conversation clearly, nor did they know their exact identities. But looking at their clothes and the guards around them, they could tell without guessing that their identities were not simple and their status must be extraordinary.
A Mo soldier came up to Lingshuang, looked her up and down, and said with a fake smile: "This lady is so pretty, with delicate skin and tender flesh. If we accidentally slip and scratch her face, it would be a pity." While speaking, his eyes would occasionally glance at Tang Yin's face.
Tang Yin was happy, and he was angry. He let go of the old man, put his hands behind his back, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"Ten horses, five... fifty thousand taels of silver. As long as you give us ten horses and fifty thousand taels of silver, we will let her go. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." Mo Bing, who first stabbed Ling Shuang with a knife, seemed to be the leader of these people.
He held it in for a long time, and spent a lot of effort, and finally made a lion's mouth, but he only wanted fifty thousand taels of silver. You know, with Ling Shuang's identity, let alone fifty thousand taels, even five or fifty million taels can't be exchanged back!
After hearing the conditions proposed by the other party, Tang Yin's heart, which had been in his throat, fell by half. It seems that the other party is not clear about his and Ling Shuang's identities.
He still had a blank expression on his face, and others could not see the ups and downs of his emotions. He said faintly, "You are also soldiers, you should understand that the army will not have so much silver."
This is the truth, but it depends on the situation. The leader, Mo Bing, sneered and waved his hand, saying, "Don't try to trick me. How much gold, silver and jewelry did you Feng Army and Yu Army rob in my Mo country? You still dare to say that you don't have silver in your hands? Damn it, 50,000 taels, not a penny less!" As he spoke, he dragged Ling Shuang to the inner end of the inner room.
Tang Yin asked, "What? No room for negotiation?" 50,000 taels of silver was a drop in the bucket for Tang Yin, so it was naturally nothing. He was afraid that even if he gave the silver, the other party might not be willing to let Ling Shuang go, and the situation would become more troublesome.
Now he was stalling for time and looking for an opportunity to make a move. Although these Mo Bing were not spiritual cultivators, the problem was that Ling Shuang was in their hands. If he took action by force, it would be easy for Ling Shuang to be injured by the other party's knife. He had to find the safest way.
"No room for negotiation, just 50,000 taels!" the leader of the Mo Bing shouted loudly.
Tang Yin nodded and said, "Asan, Asi, go prepare the silver."
Asan and Asi looked at Tang Yin deeply, then both of them bowed and said, "Yes!" Then, they turned and went to their own troops who were resting on the official road.
Seeing that they were really willing to give 50,000 taels of silver, all the Mo soldiers flashed a trace of surprise on their faces. They didn't expect that this young and beautiful girl was so valuable. That was 50,000 taels of silver!
A Mo soldier rubbed against the leader of the Mo Bing and whispered, "Boss, you want less, it should be doubled."
The leader of the Mo Bing raised the corner of his mouth, sneered, and whispered in the same way, "Why are you in a hurry? As long as she is still in our hands, we can give as much as we want!"
"Yes, yes, yes, boss is right!" The Mo soldiers smiled happily. They didn't expect that they could pick up such a big bargain when they were fleeing. They had a place to stay for the rest of their lives, and they could live a good life!
Not long after, Ah San and Ah Si returned, and at the same time, four burly Fengjun soldiers followed, carrying two large boxes and walking into the thatched house.
Bang, bang! With two muffled sounds, the four Fengjun soldiers put the two large boxes on the ground. Seeing this, Mo Bing's eyes lit up in the inner room. At Tang Yin's signal, Feng Bing opened the lid of the box and looked inside. It was full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Ah San said coldly: "These two boxes of jewelry can be sold to exchange for 50,000 taels of silver." While speaking, his eyes drifted towards Tang Yin intentionally or unintentionally.
The Mo Bing had never seen so many jewels in their lives, and they were all stunned for a while. But the leader of the Mo Bing had seen some of the world and was not stunned by the gold, silver and jewelry in front of him. He saw that Ah San's eyes were erratic when he spoke, as if he was hiding something, and he moved his heart and said: "Pour out everything in the box, I want to see it clearly!"
