The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 21 Negotiations
The next day, just after dawn, Wang De set off down the mountain to deliver letters in the city.Horses were an expensive item in this era, and there were very few of them in Dahan, so Wang De could only go down the mountain on foot.

At this time, Wang Xu and the others were also planning how to rescue Liu Hong in the Earth Temple. There was only one day to go up the mountain, and they would definitely send someone to stay there to see if they went up the mountain.This is of no use to Wang Xu's actions.

"It seems that a forceful attack is not possible. We can only negotiate to meet their demands." Xin Wenli looked left and right, but couldn't think of any good solution.

"Since they didn't do it directly, it proves that they want to get something from the young master. With this, we can trade with them." Xue Rengui also said.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger, and the steep mountain road is even more difficult to drive, and they are also in the middle of the mountain. This earth temple.

"Eat something." Wang Xu took the baked sweet potato and handed it to Liu Lu. "Yesterday, I basically had breakfast in the morning, and I was tired after driving such a long mountain road with us. Let's eat something."

Dong Lin asked them to bring these food when he left. At this time, Wang Xu felt that Dong Lin was careful and thoughtful.

"Master Wang, I'm not hungry, you can eat." Liu Lu really has no appetite to eat now.Now that the weather is so cold and there is so much snow, how is my son living like this now.

"You really have a leisurely mood." Wang Chuan said jokingly as he watched Liu Hong enjoying the snow at the door.Now that the two parties have expressed their intention to negotiate, the two are equal, and naturally it is impossible to lock him up again, so Wang Chuan released Liu Hong, but also arranged for two people to watch him to prevent him from running away.

"Otherwise, it would be a pity not to see such a snow scene." Liu Hong was a little calm, as if he was just admiring the snow gracefully in his own home.

"La Zhuan Hong Jun has passed away, and the east wind cuts the water below the Temple of Heaven.

Thousands of rivers in Wu and Chu are left to overwhelm Qinhuai Wanli Mountains
The wind, the bamboo, the silver and the phoenix dance, and the clouds and pine, Jian Yuhan.

I don’t know who plays the flute in the sky and blows down the flowers all over the world. Liu Hong felt that at this time, plagiarizing a poem would make him look a bit bad, so he naturally plagiarized a very famous poem praising snow.

"Good poems. Good poems," Zou Xin said in admiration after hearing Liu Hong's poems when he came in from the outside. "My lord, this poem is magnificent and magnificent. It makes people feel like being there, admirable." Zou Xin was really praising Liu Hong.

But Liu Hong blushed when he heard it. After all, it was the first poem he created (plagiarized) and wrote (stolen). He was relatively thin-skinned and inexperienced.The system elf looked at Liu Hong with a look that I would just quietly watch you perform.

Zou Xin is not a pure bandit, but strictly speaking, he is a talented literati. The current officialdom of the big man is basically controlled by the aristocratic family.Zou Xin was disheartened when he was not selected, and as a result, his parents were forced to death by local gentry bullies.Later, Wang Chuan, a fellow villager, helped him avenge him, and he followed Wang Chuan all the time.In the end, he came to Jizhou and became a bandit.

"I'm kidding, mere poetry is not worth mentioning." Liu Hong waved his hand. "It's just that you get rid of a bully for the people and get yourself into trouble. Is it really worth it?"

"We only ask for our hearts, and we don't care about mere personal gains." Zou Xin said.They were originally forced to become bandits by aristocratic families from all over the world. They really hated the aristocratic family, so after hearing about the Wu family here, even though several people disagreed, they still decided to do this matter.

"Righteous man." Liu Hong praised sincerely.

When Wang De went down the mountain, there was already heavy snow in the sky on Emei. After walking for a while, he found that the road below could not go on. It would be too dangerous to go down. Wang De decided to find a place to stay first. place, wait for the snow to stop before leaving.

There is an earth temple in front.This earth temple is located halfway up the mountain, and there is also an empty village nearby, but no one lives there. This earth temple is different. A few scattered people nearby will often come to offer offerings, and there may be some food. Yes, Wang De thought to himself.

He gritted his teeth and walked towards the Temple of Earth.After finally seeing the dawn, he heard someone's voice inside. He thought it was the nearby farmers who came here to avoid the snow, so he didn't take it seriously.It wasn't right when he went in.

There are more than 20 people here, except for a literati dressed up and a girl, all of them are armed.Subconsciously, Wang De wanted to run away. "Grab it." Wang Xu said loudly.There is something wrong with this man, it's just his subconscious.

"Where are you going?" When Xin Wenli saw Wang De was about to run, he was already running towards him.

The two were entangled in the snow. Although Wang De's force was over 80, he was powerless against a fierce man like Xin Wenli with a force over 95.After three rounds, Wang De was taken down.

"Let's go." Xin Wenli pushed Wang De in like an eagle catching a chick.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?" Wang Xu signaled Xin Wenli to let him go. "Come here and enjoy the fire."

"I am a commoner nearby, and I come here to avoid the snow." People who go up the mountain to cut wood often take a rest here.

"It's just dawn, what kind of material are you cutting?" Xue Rengui shouted directly.

Xue Rengui's voice was quite loud, not only Wang De was frightened, but the others were also frightened.

"Tell me, it's from Shishilang on the mountain. Tell me what you're going to do." Wang Xu asked, and got to the point.

"I..." Wang De saw that someone recognized him.It's just that he still decided not to tell, who knows who they are.

"Master Wang, if you don't give me a beating, he'll say it." Xin Wenli said simply and rudely.

"Master Wang? Are you Wang Xu?" Wang De asked uncertainly. "The teacher we tied up on the mountain yesterday?"

"Yes." Seeing that they mentioned Liu Hong, Wang Xu knew that Liu Hong was fine now, and her hanging heart was finally relieved.

"Here, this is a letter from Liu Hong to you," Wang De handed the letter in his arms to Wang Xu.Xue Rengui took it first.After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he gave it to Wang Xu.

After Wang Xu opened it and read it, he let out a breath. "The Wu family?" A murderous look appeared in Wang Xu's eyes.Wang Xu has been looking for the Wu family's evil deeds recently, and he has found almost all of them. He is waiting to attack the Wu family in the coming year, but no one thought that these bandits would also attack the Wu family.

"Our eldest brother said that we hope you will cooperate with us to clean up the Wu family." Wang De said after watching Wang Xu finish reading.

"Okay, we will go to the mountain to discuss later, Xin Wenli, Xue Rengui will accompany me." Wang Xu said.

"Okay, let's go back after the snow hears this." Wang De saw that the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't go back now.too dangerous.
