Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

"Slaughtering all the captives will definitely arouse the anger of the Beidi clan. At that time, hundreds of tribes will flock to them. How can I deal with this little man?"

"My lord knows that not only would you rather die than submit to the soldiers of your Li family, but you would also not accept the enemy's surrender, leave no one alive, and take no prisoners."

"But you know, if everyone is like your Li family, then what I bring back from Beidi this time will not be [-] living Chu soldiers, but [-] dead bones!"

The voice fell.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from all directions.

Li Mulan looked over after hearing the reputation.

I saw a group of soldiers coming out of the tent and approaching Jiang Qingyu.

This is a group of Chu soldiers, but they are all thin and thin. They are not wearing the standard armor of the Anbei Army, but Beidi's fur or leather armor, with various colors and styles.

And the weapons they held in their hands made people laugh even more, either they were scimitars specially used by the Di people, or pickaxes for mining, and some were even bare-handed.

It seems to be a motley army.

however……

Their eyes were full of fighting intent, like ferocious wolves, their eyes were a bit scary, but they coincided with each other, and when they looked at Jiang Qingyu, there was a trace of respect from the heart.

So Li Mulan understood.

The leader of this pack of wolves is none other than Jiang Qingyu, whom he regards as a dandy.

While waving, Jiang Qingyu told everyone to go back to the tent to avoid the rain, and introduced to Li Mulan:

"You should have guessed that they were also prisoners."

"But not anymore."

"My son promised to take them home safely."

"you……"

Li Mulan opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

It wasn't until this moment that she admitted that the person in front of her was indeed a man with outstanding personal charm, as her master Xue Ying said.

And it's not just a dandy who depends on luck!

In an instant, the way Li Mulan looked at Jiang Qingyu gradually changed. It was no longer full of disdain as before, but a little more appreciative.

But far from admiration.

Jiang Qingyu was still waving at the soldiers, not aware of this change in Li Mulan.

He just said to himself:

"Actually, whether to kill the captives or not, there is a certain reason."

"But right now, killing [-] captives is equivalent to cutting off this group of people, even my son and everyone's way home."

"So, I chose not to kill."

"not to mention……"

"Beidi is unified and merged into Chu State. This is the general trend. If we don't kill [-] captives today, maybe in half a month we will have [-] more friendly troops."

"What do you mean, including the leader?"

Jiang Qingyu turned her head and looked at Bao Luote with a smile.

But inadvertently met Li Mulan's admiring eyes.

This made him very puzzled.

This little girl, her attitude has changed too quickly, right?

"Humph!"

Li Mulan snorted coldly, his eyes dodged.

at this time.

After hearing Jiang Qingyu's words, Bao Luot didn't know whether it was true or false, and there was a strong and undisguised admiration on his face:

"Young Master Jiang is far-sighted, it is convincing!"

When he spoke, a trace of determination flashed across his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

The next moment, under the incredible eyes of everyone, this man who is one of the leaders of the Eight Great Tribes put down his arrogance, knelt down on one knee towards Jiang Qingyu, and solemnly promised:

"From now on, Bao Luoshi is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the young master!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu frowned deeply and didn't agree immediately.

Tsk, does this old fox actually want to express his loyalty and win trust in this way, so that this son will agree to support Bao Luoshi to become the royal court?

Really treacherous!

"My lord, please accept Bao Luo's surrender!"

Bao Luot bowed his head slightly, with a respectful attitude.

But Jiang Qingyu remained silent.

This made him feel a little uneasy.

Could it be...

Is it my lack of sincerity?

But just when he was about to speak again to express his sincerity, a cold voice came from the tent behind Jiang Qingyu:

"Borot, you are one step late."

"Not long ago, Brother Wu Tuo and I surrendered to the Young Master, so..."

"I'm sorry, my lord will of course accept your surrender, but there is no longer room for you in this tent."

Chapter 1 Seventy

Along with the sound, several people walked out of the tent——

Qiyan Wumu, Utuobu who is holding his little daughter Wutuoqi, and Duoji and Zhao Lu with a little vigilance on their faces.

Qiyan Wumu and Wu Tuobu, like Bao Luote, both took off their armor and sword.

Duoji and Zhao Lu were fully armed, wearing iron armor, one holding a zhangba snake spear, and the other holding a treasured sword, obviously guarding against a few tribal leaders who would make sudden moves.

but……

After all, Qiyan Wumu and the others are at the peak of the Haoyue Realm, and their cultivation base is much higher than that of Duoji and Zhao Lu. If they really have bad intentions, even with bare hands, they are not enough to stop them.

Fortunately, the current situation in Beidi is chaotic, and Qiyan Wumu and others have turned to Jiang Qingyu, so they will not violently kill people.

and……

Even if someone among them made a sudden attack, Jiang Qingyu didn't need to speak, the others would most likely be willing to help and subdue him just to show favor.

"Wutuobu, brother Qiyan!"

"You guys came early enough!"

Bao Luot maintained the posture of kneeling on the ground, bowed his head to Jiang Qingyu and said:

"Master Jiang, don't be fooled by these two people."

"I, Bao Luote, took refuge with the prince more than 20 years ago. I have been loyal for so many years and have never had the heart of disobedience. Therefore, even if the young master refuses to take him in, I will swear allegiance to the death!"

"But the two of them are different!"

"Qiyan Wumu and Wu Tuobu are both scheming people!"

"Today is forced by the current situation, so they will be the first to surrender to you, but if the situation changes tomorrow, they will also be the first to betray you!"

"So, my son, you must not hand over Beidi to them!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qingyu smiled without saying a word, as if she was thinking.

As for Qiyan Wumu and Wutuobu, their expressions changed slightly.

"Borot, you are spitting blood!"

Qiyan Ebony was the first to reprimand:

"Could it be that you forgot? During the Battle of Heishui Lake that day, you attempted to murder the young master, but it was the king who led the army to stop you, so you never succeeded!"

"It's only been a few days, and your attitude has changed drastically. You came here to kneel down shamelessly to the young master?"

"It's ridiculous!"

"In my opinion, once the situation changes, you must be the first person to betray your son!"

After finishing speaking, Qiyan Wumu looked at Jiang Qingyu, bowed slightly, with respect on his face.

He arrived only an hour earlier than Bao Luozan.

A few days ago, the Helian family annexed the Hude family, which seemed to have opened the prelude to the fight for the royal court.

All the major tribes have ulterior motives, coveting the throne of the royal court, and constantly fighting openly and secretly.

Qiyan is no exception.

But what made Qiyan Wumu very anxious was that the masked man in white robe who killed Bals hadn't shown up for more than ten days!

Without that person's support, it would be impossible for the Qiyan clan to defeat the Baoluo clan, the Tuoba clan, and the recently rising Helian clan one by one.

Therefore, when Xier Xia, who had successfully seized power yesterday, confirmed that the white-robed masked man was actually a backer behind Jiang Qingyu, Qiyan Wumu came here immediately to express his submission.

However, he was still a step late.

Or……

It was more than one step late.

As early as more than ten days ago, Wu Tuobu had reached a cooperation with Jiang Qingyu, and even more than 20 years ago, this person had surrendered to the King of Rejecting the North!

Therefore, Wu Tuo's family should have been Jiang Qingyu's first choice to support Wang Ting.

But Qiyan Wumu is not worried about this.

Because Wu Tuo's strength is insufficient, it is difficult to convince the public, and he cannot sit firmly in the royal court, so there is no threat to himself!

But Bao Luo's is different!

The Bao Luo clan, like the Qiyan clan, are both powerful enough to rank among the top three tribes in Beidi. Once they gain Jiang Qingyu's trust, they will definitely threaten the status of the Qiyan clan!

Utopia also does not want one more competitor:

"Bao Luote, you surrender to the son, and we all welcome you, but Bao Luo's coveting the royal court is wishful thinking!"

Paulo snorted coldly:

"Aren't you two being too lenient?"

"As a subject, why can't everyone recognize their own identities? The young master hasn't spoken yet! You made the decision for him and denied the king?"

"Could it be that if the young master doesn't support you to become the royal court, will you betray him?"

Jiang Qingyu glanced at the two of them.

This sentence is exactly what he wanted to ask.

At present, more than half of the eight major tribes in Beidi are involved with him, but most of them are for profit, not sincere surrender.

However, the relationship maintained by interests can only be solid for a while, not for a long time.

Because the Chu royal family can offer a higher price at any time.

So Jiang Qingyu must choose carefully.

He didn't want to spend all his energy to support a Beidi royal family, but ended up making wedding dresses for others instead.

"This king will not betray your son!"

Wu Tuobu spoke first, touched his daughter Wu Tuoqi's head, and said with a smile:

"Young master has already agreed to marry me, Wu Tuo. In the past few days, the four daughters of this king have been getting along with you day and night, and their relationship has almost been cultivated. We can get married after the winter hunting is over."
