Traveling through the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Luo Cheng stood beside his elder brother, lazily resting his head on his elder brother's shoulder, looked at the letter paper handed over by the Turkic messenger, and smiled unkindly.

Blackmail people?Want a ransom?Those two guys from the Shuwu family?

Don't be kidding, okay.

The Wu brothers just won't die, yet he still thinks how to kill them.

With a smile in Luo Song's eyes, he turned his face to the side and asked for Luo Cheng's opinion: "Cheng'er, the Red Sea said that if we ask for ten dans of grain, they can release them. What do you think we should do?"

Luo Cheng straightened up, snatched the letter paper, and lit it at the candle. After a while, it was burned to ashes, and the messenger was stunned.

"We didn't receive any letterhead, Brother Wu, you can kill him or cut him up. Remember to carry out the bodies of both of them later. After all, they are sacrificed for the country, so that my father can report to the current emperor and posthumously A loyal and brave man can also protect his descendants."

The corners of Luo Song's mouth turned up slightly, and he clenched his fist into a snicker, this kid was making fun of someone again.

To protect descendants or something, there must be descendants, right?I don't know if the Wu brothers have done all the bad things. Although there are many wives and concubines, the Wu family indeed has only one descendant.Nuo, that's the one who was executed by Luo Chengdi not long ago for robbing women's women and disregarding human lives.So your pursuit of a loyal and brave man just sounds good, and no descendants will inherit it.

The messenger was shocked, and Luo Cheng made it clear that he would let the Wu brothers die.This was completely inconsistent with his intention of coming here this time, and he asked again: "Is this the meaning of the King of Peking, or the meaning of the Eldest Young Master and Shao Bao?"

Luo Chenglang said: "The general is outside, and the military orders are not accepted."

The implication is obvious, don't say that the King of Peiping doesn't know, even if he knows, then I have the final say.

Luo Cheng poked 38 holes in the body of his own governor, and he had heard about it for a long time, and he still had lingering fears.

Listening to him now, he was against himself everywhere, and felt that this Luo Shaobao acted perversely and domineeringly, playing cards completely out of common sense. You must know that this condition is already low enough...

Well, it's just meaning, to give the governor a reason to let the Wu brothers go.

If this were left in the past, the Wu Brothers would still be useful.Send some jewelry now and then, and it's okay to call your brother older brother or shorter, but it's not like it used to be.But now these two people are like bereaved dogs, wanting money but no money, wanting soldiers but not soldiers, not to mention that the governor is still lying on the bed to heal his injuries, and the two of them stayed in the Turkic army to nourish and waste food.

You keep calling us barbarians, living in a barbarian land, we don’t have enough food, okay?

It doesn't matter if there is an advantage, but now there is no advantage, the Wu Brothers should get out.

Seeing that the Luo family brothers didn't want to get in, the messenger's face was flushed with suffocation, and he squirmed out a few words for a long time: "The governor also said that the matter of releasing people can be discussed." ... Otherwise, the grain will be issued with an IOU first, and we will release him immediately."

Qin Qiong was also happy to hear it.It seems that the Turkic side treats the Wu brothers as a hot potato, neither throwing them away nor accepting them.

"I've changed my mind, and I don't want to let you go now."

The messenger was covered in cold sweat, and was uncomfortable being stared at by Luo Shaobao's sharp eyes. What does this mean?You can't kill him, can you?With his style of acting, it is really uncertain...

Oops, I would have stopped talking if I knew it earlier.

The messenger was so frightened that his back was wet, and he said hastily: "Luo Shaobao, these two countries are at war, and they have never been envoys without killing."

Luo Cheng laughed loudly: "Whoever wants to kill you, it would be dirty to kill you."

Luo Cheng looked at Luo Song and said, "Brother, don't we have a lot of undeveloped land in Youzhou? Let these three people develop the wasteland, and send all the Turkic captives captured in the future."

"You! Luo Shaobao, you don't want to humiliate others, I am a Turkic country—"

"What is Tangtang? How did I humiliate you? You always come here two or three times a year to fight the autumn wind, burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil. You are not happy with my arrangement. Do you want me to throw you into the Beiping mansion? , and see how the people in the city treat you."

The messenger stopped immediately, hoping for a glimmer of hope, and turned to the Eldest Young Master for help.

Luo Song thought for a while and said, "That's a good idea. The grain and the money sold for land reclamation will be used to subsidize the families who lost their relatives because of the Turkic invasion. In the first two years, there may be no income, but it is better than nothing, let alone those who have lost their loved ones. If wasteland is not developed, it cannot be turned into fertile land."

When Luo Song followed the Jiang family to live in exile, he had never experienced any hardships, and it was not that he had never done farming work, so he knew a little about these things, and he was extremely sympathetic to the difficult lives of ordinary people.

"I think so too." Luo Cheng pursed his lips and smiled.

Qin Qiong watched the two talk to each other, with a tacit understanding, and she couldn't get in the way at all, and she was a little envious of the feelings of the two brothers.

Qin Qiong is upright and chivalrous.Although at the beginning he was not in favor of keeping the courier, there is no way to force the courier to open up wasteland for you to farm, but after thinking about it, that's right, I didn't kill you, so it's not a violation of the rules.It's just that you are allowed to open up wasteland and farm land, which is beneficial to the people, so there is no way to stop them, and they silently agree with the decision of the two.

"Okay, come here, take this man down. You can also shoot an arrow on the city wall and tell the Red Sea that I will keep his messenger and two soldiers for reuse. The food he asked for is not available. If he is not willing, let the Wu brothers die for the country. And leave the Wakou Pass before noon tomorrow, or the two of my brothers will personally lead the troops to take his head."

Watching the soldiers drag the limp courier out of the tent, the three people in the tent looked at each other and laughed loudly.

The atmosphere inside the tent was harmonious, when a noise was heard outside the tent.After a while, Luo Yong raised the tent and reported that someone sneaked into the barracks at night with a weapon, and was caught by the patrolling soldiers. Something was wrong, and the patrolling soldiers were stopped.

At this moment, the person was tied up and thrown outside the tent to wait.

"Break into the barracks with a weapon, shoot and kill. Since you're not dead, hit [-] big boards first, and then drag me over for questioning. You don't need me to teach you the military order?"

Luo Yong glanced at Qin Qiong from the tip of his eyes, then secretly glanced at his own Shaobao, lowered his brows and replied, "Shaobao, this matter is not easy to deal with."

"Huh? Why is it difficult to deal with?"

"The visitor said he was looking for Master Qin, and it was a girl's family."

As soon as Qin Qiong heard about the girl's home, there was a pang in her heart, and after hearing Luo Yong's order, she was already escorted up.

Shan Yingying's hands were tied behind her back, and when she was pushed to the ground, she felt extremely wronged. She had never been treated like this before, and she turned her head and stared fiercely at the chief culprit, Qin Yong. The latter rubbed his nose and pretended not to See.

"Yingying, the important place of the military camp, how can you trespass with a weapon in hand!" Qin Qiong stretched out his hand to untie the rope for her, took off the white scarf stuffed in his mouth, and scolded.

Shan Yingying pouted her lips like a girl, her voice was soft and filled with grievance: "Brother Qin, you didn't take me with you when you left, so I was alone in the mansion without anyone I knew."

"Nonsense, we are here to fight, not to travel, how can we take you with us. What's more, you have an injury on your neck. I told you to stay at home and recuperate."

"My injury has long since healed. Look, I haven't even left a scar."

"Since the injury is healed, then receive the punishment."

Shan Yingying widened her watery eyes, looking at Luo Cheng who had no expression on her face: "What do you mean?"

"My Luo family's army has always been strict in running the army, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Today, you are holding a weapon and trespassing in the barracks. You should be punished."

"Luo Cheng, you——I'm here to find Big Brother Qin." Shan Yingying had a teapot-shaped appearance with one hand on her waist, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, she was a bit charming.

"Then you can't tell my father that my father will send someone to send you over? You must be so sneaky at night."

"Who, who was sneaky, it happened to be dark when I came here, can it be my fault." Is it easy for her to touch it all the way.

"You are not allowed to quibble, and the military order cannot be changed just because you are alone. For the sake of you being a mere girl, drag it down and hit the top ten boards."

"Luo Cheng, you really hit me!" Shan Yingying yelled sharply, seeing that the big man behind him was about to grab her after following the order.

"The military order is like a mountain, haven't you heard it? Drag it on."

"Yes, Shaobao." Qin Yong carried people out of the big tent like a chick. Men and women are all the same in his eyes anyway, and obeying orders is the right thing to do.

"Luo Cheng, you bastard! You hit a woman, you dare to hit me—"

"Pa—" There was a sound of hitting a board outside the door, followed by a woman's shrill cry.

"Cousin, can you spare her this time, after all, it's her daughter's family, how can she endure such suffering. Yingying grew up under the protection of Shan's second brother, and she has never been subjected to such a severe punishment." Qin Qiong listened to the words in her ear. The voice was very miserable, and he couldn't help pleading.

"Cousin don't talk too much, I can listen to you about other matters, but I have the final say on the matter of running the army."

Seeing that his younger brother spoke directly and didn't know how to be tactful, Luo Song was afraid that Cousin Qin might misunderstand his good intentions, so he explained: "Cousin Qin, Cheng'er also did it for Miss Shan's benefit. Today, fortunately, it was Qin Yong who had good ears and eyes, and captured her alive. Come here, if this is an ordinary soldier patrolling, you can treat her as an enemy spy and kill her regardless of the reason."

"I think Miss Shan is courageous, but her ability—" Luo Song shook his head, "It's okay to be lucky once or twice. If things go on like this, she will lose her life sooner or later. You see, the matter of Wu Anfu is not just her impulsiveness." He was booed by others, got into trouble, killed a boy innocently, and was almost ruined by others."

Qin Qiong also understood in his heart that it was a big taboo for the two armies to fight and trespass into the barracks with weapons. Fortunately, with Qin Yong, if Yingying lost her life, it would be even more difficult for him to explain to Second Brother Shan.

It's good to let the little girl suffer a little bit, but she will have to think twice before doing something next time. Thinking about it this way, Qin Qiong doesn't have much to say.

"Cousin, don't worry, Qin Yong is numerous, ten boards can't beat anyone to death." Luo Cheng comforted.

At first, Shan Yingying still had the energy to swear at others, but after five boards, there was only a slight humming, and when the ten boards were played, she was also groggy.
