Hearing Tuoba Xiong agree, Bai Ying's smile deepened: "Since we've already discussed cooperation, shouldn't the Chanyu invite Bai Ying for a cup of tea?"
Tuoba Xiong stared intently at Bai Ying. If he didn't want to know the method Bai Ying had given him to win Beifeng City without bloodshed, he would have killed him directly.
There was nothing he could do but listen to him and invite him for tea.
Tuoba Xiong invited Bai Ying to sit down and had tea served.
After Bai Ying took a sip of tea, Tuoba Xiong couldn't wait any longer: "Well? Can you tell me now?"
Bai Ying smiled and said, "The tea from Bei Rong is still not quite right."
One sentence was enough to darken Tuoba Xiong's face.
Seeing this, Bai Ying added, "However, once the Chanyu conquers the northern lands of Dongchu and becomes its ruler, all the tea produced in the northern lands of Dongchu will belong to the Chanyu, and the Chanyu will no longer have to worry about not having good tea."
One sentence can make you angry, and another sentence can make you laugh.
Tuoba Xiong's dark face instantly softened at Bai Ying's words: "Well said! Chief Bai is truly full of witty remarks!"
Bai Ying was too lazy to correct Tuoba Xiong's idiom at this moment, and raised his hand to the few Liuying Village brothers behind him.
The brothers from Liuying Village immediately bowed respectfully and withdrew.
Tuoba Xiong glanced at the white eagle waiting for his response, and he understood what Tuoba Xiong meant. He also raised his hand to the soldiers and servants in the tent.
The group bowed and withdrew.
Bai Ying seemed quite satisfied with this: "The Chanyu is not afraid that Bai Ying will harm him."
Tuoba Xiong smiled wickedly: "If you are of no use to me in my Tianqiong tribe, do you think you can leave my Tianqiong tribe alive?"
Because he was absolutely certain, he wasn't afraid to be alone with him in the Sky Dome.
White Eagle chuckled lightly, offering no reply.
Tuoba Xiong poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and suddenly felt that the tea tasted just average. He immediately began to imagine the taste of truly good tea.
If he could conquer Beifeng City and take control of the northern part of Eastern Chu, wouldn't it be easy to get a good cup of tea?
"Now you can tell me, right?" Putting down his teacup, Tuoba Xiong urged again. He didn't have much time to waste on idle chatter!
Bai Ying smiled slightly: "No rush, let's talk about cooperation first."
Tuoba Xiong suddenly frowned, his face full of impatience; he was about to lose his patience.
Bai Ying ignored him and went on to state his demands: "I will help you conquer Beifeng and take over the five cities in the north, but my Liuying Village must occupy one of them!"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Xiong laughed in anger and sneered, "You have quite the nerve to ask me for such conditions!"
There are only five cities in the North. Even if he conquers the North, he will only gain these five cities. Moreover, it's not just his Northern Rong tribe that participated in this great war; so many Northern Rong tribes participated.
These five cities aren't even enough for the tribes within the Northern Rong to divide among themselves!
What is Liuying Village anyway? It doesn't even deserve to share the spoils of victory with them. What's more, it directly wants a city. Does it think that Tuoba Xiong is dead, or that the other tribes of the Northern Rong are all vegetarians?
Bai Ying was not surprised at all by Tuoba Xiong's reaction: "I made this request because the method I mentioned can guarantee that the Northern Rong can take Beifeng City without lifting a finger, and then successfully take the five cities in the North. I think my method is worth this city!"
Hearing him keep coming up with methods and solutions, but without explaining anything concrete, Tuoba Xiong grew angry: "So what exactly is the solution?!"
He should just keep going! I've been waiting for ages, and he hasn't uttered a single word!
"The cooperation hasn't been finalized yet, and the Chanyu hasn't agreed to the White Eagle's demands!"
Tuoba Xiong was impatient, but Bai Ying was not in a hurry at all, and even picked up his teacup to sip his tea.
Tuoba Xiong glared angrily at the composed Bai Ying, wishing he could strangle him!
This person is so annoying! I had to go up to him and seduce him, but he wouldn't tell me anything!
In order to obtain the bloodless method that Bai Ying had mentioned, Tuoba Xiong finally swallowed his anger: "If you really have a way to help our Northern Rong take the five cities in the North, you can name any other conditions you want, but I cannot agree to take one of the cities in the North!"
There's only so much land to begin with, it's hardly enough to go around.
Besides, what right does a small village like Liuying Village have to divide up these five cities in the North?
Seeing that he wouldn't agree, Bai Ying stood up and said, "Since we can't reach an agreement on cooperation, then the Chanyu shall pretend that Bai Ying never came to Beirong tonight!"
After Bai Ying finished speaking, he turned and left, decisively without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this, Tuoba Xiong became anxious and immediately asked, "Why do you insist on having a city in the north?"
Bai Ying paused, standing still for a while before turning around and saying, "The Chanyu should know that I am originally from Dongchu, but due to some special reasons, I ended up outside the northern border. Now that the Holy King of Dongchu has occupied the north and wiped out all the bandits, we outsiders are temporarily safe, but it's only a matter of time before we are attacked. So, I need to find a way to save myself before the Holy King recovers. That's why I wanted to cooperate with you, Chanyu. I will help you, the Northern Rong, attack Beifeng City, and then we will drive the Holy King out of the north together. These five cities in the north will then be ours. I've had enough of wandering outside the northern border, so after we conquer these five cities, I want a city to settle down in. I won't be a bandit anymore, I'll be a king!"
...Tuoba Xiong looked at Bai Ying with surprise: "You want to occupy a city and become king! Your ambition is quite large!"
White Eagle didn't see anything wrong with having ambition: "Without ambition, you'll be a bandit for life, and you'll be killed one by one, just like the bandits in the Northern City who were wiped out in one fell swoop!"
Tuoba Xiong frowned.
He knew something about the situation in the North. The North was indeed plagued by droughts and severe water shortages, which led to famines. These famine years were also prone to banditry.
I heard that the banditry in the north is very serious, and that the Holy King came to the north to provide disaster relief and suppress the bandits.
Therefore, Bai Ying's words did not arouse any suspicion from Tuoba Xiong. They were logical and well-founded, and he had no reason to doubt him!
Tuoba Xiong stared at the white eagle, then suddenly asked, "How many people are there in your Liuying Village?"
Bai Ying was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Tuoba Xiong to ask such a question, but still answered honestly: "Ten thousand."
"Ten thousand?" Tuoba Xiong almost let out a disdainful snort.
They dare to negotiate with him when there are only 10,000 people?
Do you think Tuoba Xiong is some pushover?
Tuoba Xiong looked at Bai Ying and said, "I, the Chanyu, can cooperate with you, and I agree to your conditions!"
