The Four Concubines

When Yun Xiao returned to the living room, the patriarchs of the five clans sat on their chairs as if nothing had happened, staring at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.

The eighteen riders around Pingzhun had already left, and he didn't know what his father had said to him, but he stood there obediently, the arrogance on his face when he first came was gone, as if he had changed.

Yun Xiao sat down again, looked around for a week with eyebrows raised and the corners of her mouth curled up, her tone was quite satisfied, "It seems that the five patriarchs are still very concerned about the development of Liaojiang, and I am very pleased to see that you are all here."

The patriarch of Talbu ignored Yun Xiao's smug smile, and said straightforwardly, "Emperor Daqin, I think we need to continue talking about some details."

Yun Xiao nodded and raised her hand to signal for herself to listen carefully.

The patriarch of Talbu exchanged a glance with the patriarchs of the other four clans, "We want Tianlei."

When Yun Xiao heard this, she laughed out of anger, "The patriarch of Talbu's definition of details really opened my eyes."

The patriarch of Talbu had a serious face, and he didn't take Yun Xiao's verbal ridicule seriously.

"What if I refuse?" Yun Xiao said calmly.

"Emperor Qin, you stopped the turmoil for a hundred years without a single soldier, and your name will go down in history. In comparison, isn't it better than Tianlei?" The chief of the Talbu clan moved with emotion and reason.

"Hahaha." Yun Xiao smiled while shaking her head, looking at Ping Zhun who shrank her head and said, "Patriarch Talbu, didn't your son tell you that I am a little different from other emperors, those false names don't matter to me , what the future generations say about me, that is their business, nothing to do with me."

"Besides." Yun Xiao turned her eyes back to the patriarch of Talbu, "It's because I don't want to kill more people without spending a single soldier. Human life is not divided into high and low. There is no need for soldiers to waste their lives because of your whims. I don't know, Liaojiang can't beat Daqin, even if there is no sky thunder, Daqin already has a fixed water source, Dingbei Army has no scruples, how much advantage can you take?"

The patriarch of Talbu lowered his eyes, looked at the indifferent Yun Xiao and said, "Oh? But Emperor Daqin, how long will your sky thunder be enough for you?"

When he arrived at the Agong Tribe, Pingzhun relayed to him verbatim what Yun Xiao said in the night attack that day. Pingzhuang's lack of brains doesn't mean he doesn't have one. He immediately heard that Yunxiao was trying to provoke Pang Huaibinghe Their relationship, if "Tianlei" really belonged to everyone in Daqin's soldiers, Pang Huaibing would have taken the opportunity to enter the palace long ago, why not contact them not far away!

So he concluded that the number of Tianlei in Yunxiao's hand is absolutely extremely limited.

"Did the patriarch of Talbu forget his situation? You are not qualified to bargain with the emperor. It is the last chance to let you bow your head and surrender."

The one who spoke was Xiao Chuo who had just tidied up his face when he walked in from the outside.

Yun Xiao took a look at Xiao Chuo, saw that she had returned to her usual indifferent expression, smiled, picked up her teacup and watched the play quietly.

"Xiao Chuo, don't forget your identity." Although Talbu said this to Xiao Chuo, his eyes were aimed at Xiao Shan.

"I think the emperor has made it very clear just now that I am now the concubine of Daqin, not the daughter of the Xiao clan in Liaojiang." Xiao Chuo's tone was flat, without any emotion.

Yun Xiao's eyes narrowed, and she had a feeling that she forced Xiao Chuo to marry her, and Xiao Chuo had to speak bad words to the old people in order to preserve his homeland.

Yun Xiao smiled wryly in her heart, obviously she was the one who was bullied in every possible way, but thinking about it, Talbu and the others dared to brazenly speak up in front of her in this situation, because she had always been too "gentle" Yes, it gave them the illusion that they were easy to bully.

Yun Xiao immediately sighed, and said loudly to the door, "Come on, hit the target."

Not long after, two soldiers carried a stone that was half a person's height, and put it on the open space in the courtyard outside the living room. What a name.

Yun Xiao just lowered his head and drank tea. Not long after, one of the eighteen riders strode over from one side and stood on the other side of the stone. There was a distance of about 50 meters. The moment it touched the stone, the flames of the explosion and the sound of the earth-shattering sound appeared at the same time.

The patriarchs of the five clans swallowed unconsciously as they looked at the shattered stones.

Yun Xiao said at the right time, "The five patriarchs probably haven't seen the sky thunder you mentioned before. Today is a rare opportunity, so I will let the five patriarchs see it personally. As for how long what the Taerbu patriarch said is enough for us ..."

Yun Xiao paused, looked at Talbu and smiled, "What do you think?"

Talbu's expression is not very good. Today I saw the power of this thunder with my own eyes, and I realized that I still underestimated Daqin before. This kind of thing is really terrible as a weapon, but let him agree with Yunxiao like this He was really unwilling to meet the request.

"Bang." Yun Xiao put down the teacup in a nonchalant manner, "I don't have so much time to spend with you, if you sign or not, go back and wait for me to knock on the door."

The five patriarchs looked at each other, and finally the other four all looked at Taerbu.

Xiao Chuo made another stab at the right time, "Wang Taishou said that this year's snow season will be much longer than in previous years. It is almost impossible to survive this winter with the existing grain reserves in Liaojiang. The five patriarchs should hurry Decide."

After hearing this, Taerbu's expression tightened. Wang Xia had worked as a prefect in Zhanjiang for more than 20 years, and his reputation was also well-known. Taerbu immediately looked at Wang Xia.

Wang Xia nodded, expressing that what Xiao Chuo said was true, everyone around Zhanjiang knew that he, Wang Xia, never bothered to tell lies and flatter him.

Talbu's eyes were shaken.

Wang Xia looked at Xiao Shan, thought of what he said outside before, and then said, "Didn't patriarch Xiao ask me who made the water tanker?"

When Xiao Shan heard Wang Xia mentioning the waterwheel, his eyes lit up, and he wondered if Wang Xia wanted to introduce himself?He thought he had no chance to meet that person.

"Oh? I wonder if the prefect Wang can introduce you?" Xiao Shan's tone was slightly excited.

"Oh? Patriarch Xiao asked about the waterwheel." Yun Xiao naturally took over the topic, "I am not talented. I haven't learned much about the essentials of governing the country from my ancestors. I have read a lot of miscellaneous books. The waterwheel is just a whim. I hope the patriarchs don't mind the trouble."

……

Xiao Shan looked at Yun Xiao with a complicated face, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, no wonder Wang Xia said so happily that he wanted to recommend it. Since the waterwheel was written by Emperor Daqin, wouldn't all his previous thoughts be jokes?

The blue veins on Tal's port were visibly beating, watching Yun Xiao on the main seat, the room fell into silence.

After a while, Talbu sighed in frustration, "Emperor Daqin, you have won."

Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows, she thought Taerbu would continue to "struggle", why did she agree so quickly?

In fact, what Yun Xiao didn't know was that before seeing the power of Tianlei, Talbu planned to fight for it no matter what, but after seeing the power of Tianlei, he understood that it was futile to struggle, rather than waste it in vain. Mouth, it is better to readily agree.And what the young Great Qin Emperor showed him made him have to look at him with admiration.

From this point of view, regardless of his breadth of mind, intelligence, and governance, he is better than Pang Huaibing, so why did he go all the way to the end.

The patriarch of Talbu nodded, and the rest of the matter was easy to talk about. The two signed the agreement on behalf of Daqin and Liaojiang. , trotted away, and came back holding a thick stack of papers in both hands.

Wang Xia trotted, and distributed the sorted rice paper to each patriarch.

Yun Xiao smiled and said, "This is my future plan for Liaojiang and Zhanjiang City. If you have any opinions, you can discuss it together."

Although they didn't understand what "future planning" was, it didn't prevent them from understanding Yun Xiao's meaning. For a while, there was only the sound of paper flipping in the room. Xiao Shan read it very quickly, almost browsing ten lines at a glance.

After a while, Xiao Shan raised his head excitedly, and praised without hesitation, "Wizard! Wizard! The Emperor of Great Qin is really a genius! With you in Great Qin, why not be strong!"

Talbu read very slowly, but every time he turned a page, he was refreshed. These methods and measures were all unheard of by him, but if they could be implemented in accordance with the above one by one, why not worry about the prosperity of Liaojiang!

The patriarch of Talbu was still worried, "Emperor Qin, you are not afraid that we will become stronger, so you will attack you instead?"

Yun Xiao smiled, "The fundamental reason for the hostility between Liaojiang and Beidi is that Liaojiang's poor food supply is not enough. If you have enough food and your own city, why do you have to fight so hard?"

"Now...no, in the future, it will be for honor." The chief of Talbu said very sincerely, "Not all people are like you, who don't care about reputation."

Yun Xiao looked up, looked out through the courtyard of the prefect's mansion, and then said a strange sentence, "The northern land of Daqin borders Liaojiang, so what is the extreme north of Liaojiang?"

After hearing this, the patriarch of Talbu's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Yun Xiao with unclear eyes.

When Yun Xiao received the sight, she was startled. What she said was pure guesswork. There were merchants from all over the country in Daqin, but according to the geographical location, they all came from the due west of Daqin. People from the North had never appeared before. .

If it is judged according to the previous life, the northern land of Liaojiang should be bordered by Rome in the previous life. Yun Xiao supports Liaojiang. Don't be caught off guard.

Yun Xiao met the eyes of the patriarch of Shangtarbu, and always felt that he seemed to understand what Yun Xiao meant. Yun Xiao paused and did not continue this topic. After all, the five clans have been galloping in Liaojiang for many years. It is impossible to know.

"If necessary, come to Zhanjiang City at any time." Yun Xiao said in a serious tone.

The people in the room looked at each other, unable to understand Yun Xiao's meaning, Xiao Chuo was thoughtful, and the patriarch of Talbu looked calmly.

……

Did Pang Huaibing's people make a move? They made a sudden move when the patriarchs of the five clans left the prefect's mansion. Fortunately, Zhou Chen had been alerted and executed them on the spot. The patriarch of Talbu looked at the corpses on the ground coldly, He took out a stack of letters from his arms and handed them to Zhou Chen, asking him to pass them on to Yun Xiao.

Although the Liaojiang people value love and righteousness, they are not fools who let others bully them!

When Yun Xiao received the letter, she smiled, didn't open it to read, but put it in a separate box, and then continued to bury her head and write hard.

In the next few days, Yun Xiao was discussing something with Wang Xia almost all the time, and two days before leaving, Yun Xiao ordered Zhou Chen to order troops and return to the capital with her.

Less than two months after the first year of Emperor Qin's ascension to the throne, Emperor Yunxiao of Qin returned from Zhanjiang City.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

The tail of Liaojiang was put away for the time being, and a new pit was buried.

The following chapters in the capital city will be relatively more relaxed, after all, it is the Chinese New Year.

I originally planned to write a separate summary for Xiao Chuo, but it still feels too late.

word: I really want to double update.

Game: No, you don't want to.
