"ah?"
"You want what's under my feet?"
Jin Yuan, the prefect, was taken aback at first, then looked down at his feet, seemingly confused.
What's left beneath my feet?
It's just a pair of official boots, isn't it?
Could it be that the Eighth Prince has such a hobby, liking to collect other people's worn shoes and socks?
Do you have a fetish for foreign objects?
"Your Majesty, please don't joke with me. I'm as frightened as a bird in distress. I wouldn't dare to speak to you if you made such a huge joke."
Liu Fu could tell at a glance that the prefect had misunderstood, so he pointed to the city wall at the prefect's feet:
“I am referring to the city wall beneath your feet.”
"Prefect of Jin Yuan Prefecture, please introduce the four walls of your Jin Yuan Prefecture to me."
"ah?"
Jin Yuan, the prefect, was taken aback. Only then did he realize that Liu Fu was after the city wall. Liu Fu had already dismantled the hundred-mile-long stone Great Wall at Qinglong Pass and transported it to the Later Han Dynasty to rebuild it into Duorui Pass.
It turns out that Liu Fu came here today again, this time to raid the city walls.
As a prefectural governor, he was a second-rank official, so how could the Jin-Yuan prefectural governor dare to be an enemy of Liu Fu?
Forced to force a smile, he introduced Liu Fu as follows:
"Eighth Prince, the length of the east and west walls of our Jin Yuan Prefecture is eighteen li, and the length of the north and south walls is fifteen li. The height of the city is thirty-two meters. The entire city is built with hard bluestone weighing hundreds of kilograms, making it very sturdy."
Why are you asking this?
Jin Yuanfu, the prefect, knew that Liu Fu had come to rob him, but he had to pretend that he knew nothing and come over to question Liu Fu again.
"No problem, no problem."
Liu Fu replied:
"I've come to collect some protection money. I'll use the four walls of your Jin Yuan Prefecture as interest. Oh, and you'd better hurry back and move all the money out of your Jin Yuan Prefecture's treasury. I'm taking it back to Liaodong. Consider that money as next year's protection money, and you should pay it to me in advance."
Prefect Jin Yuan was furious!
Damn it, you're a prince of the Later Han Dynasty, but according to the Later Jin Dynasty, Liu Fu is a foreigner.
And yet you went all the way to the Later Jin territory, shamelessly demanding protection money? Isn't that just blatant robbery?
But Liu Fu, a prince of the Later Han Dynasty, spoke these words in such a righteous and indignant manner on the territory of the Later Jin Dynasty, as if he were talking to his superior. This was simply intolerable!
“Eighth Prince, if you want to take the city wall, I can’t stop you. But our treasury’s money comes from years of accumulation among the people. You’re asking me for it without even knowing what’s going on. Isn’t that unreasonable?”
"You are a prince of the Later Han Dynasty, not a prince of the Later Jin Dynasty. Since you are not a prince of my Great Jin Dynasty, isn't it a bit too much to ask me to obey your orders?"
The prefect began to reason with Liu Fu, but Liu Fu's response caused the prefect's blood pressure to rise sharply.
"It's alright. If you feel it's too much to do, that's your problem. I think it's fine as long as it's not too much to do."
"this……"
The prefect was immediately enraged:
"Eighth Prince, do you think it is appropriate for a foreigner like yourself to interfere in the affairs of my Great Jin Kingdom?"
"It's suitable."
? ? ? ?
The prefect was taken aback:
"Your Highness, you are not a citizen of my Great Jin Kingdom!"
"So what?"
“You are not a citizen of my Great Jin Kingdom, so you should not interfere in the affairs of my Great Jin Kingdom.”
"It's alright, as I've already said, I don't mind."
"But...but this humble official minds, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Jin minds, and the people of the Great Jin mind!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Liu Fu asked the question knowingly:
"Since your Jin emperor minds, why doesn't he say anything?"
"I'll count to three. If he minds, he can say so. If he doesn't say anything after the count, then it means he agrees."
"one"
"two"
"three"
"Look, your Jin emperor doesn't mind at all!"
The prefect was so enraged by Liu Fu's actions that he was almost driven mad with anger, seemingly forgetting the dangerous situation he was in:
"Shameless!"
"You're a complete scoundrel! A total scoundrel!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Fu let out a cold laugh, his gaze instantly turning icy and sharp:
"Rogue?"
"Even if I have no choice, it's still much better than your bunch of beasts from Later Jin being so heartless and insane, isn't it?"
"You beasts, lackeys, and bloodsuckers, year after year you march south to plunder the people of the Central Plains, burning, killing, raping, and looting. What don't you do? What don't you commit?"
“Every year you come, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people die. Every year you come, cities and towns become ghost towns and deserted villages. Every year you come, hundreds of families are destroyed and wives and children are separated. Why don’t you call out when that happens?”
"Let me be frank, what you owed me in the Central Plains, it's time to pay it back!"
After being bombarded with Liu Fu's furious rant, Prefect Jin Yuan, who had been indignant just moments before, was now speechless.
He instinctively wanted to open his mouth to explain himself, but found that he had no way to explain himself.
Because Liu Fu's words were all true, he had no way to refute them.
"well……!"
Seeing that Prefect Jin Yuan had nothing to say, he let out a long sigh.
Liu Fu retorted coldly:
"If you knew this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?"
"Since you have already done those things, you should understand this principle: the blood debt you owe will be repaid many times over in the future!"
Having said that, Liu Fu gave the order.
Three Vajra and a super black-green dragon, the four giant beasts instantly surrounded the city.
The Jin soldiers on the walls of Jinyuanfu City had never seen anything like this before.
They were all stunned and stood frozen in place, some even completely losing their senses, their weapons clattering to the ground.
"Down the city!"
"I'm in a good mood today and don't want to start a bloodbath. Let's get out of the city quickly."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for sending you to meet Yama, the King of Hell."
Liu Fu's shout had a surprising effect.
The soldiers guarding the city were terrified when they saw the four giant beasts, and they immediately slunk away from the city.
Immediately, Liu Fu opened the space of the animal breeding ranch and began to install the city walls of Jin Yuan Prefecture.
"Boom..."
It was a tremendous, earth-shaking noise, and with it, a section of the city wall was uprooted and buried in the animal breeding ranch.
With the towering city walls breached, the moat in front of the city was suddenly empty. Without the walls to block the wind, a strong wind rushed into the city, immediately drawing everyone's attention to this area.
"Oh my god, our city walls have been taken away!"
"Who did this?"
"Such divine might! I told you back then, don't be arrogant, don't be arrogant. During the more than two hundred years of chaos in the Central Plains, that lion has only temporarily fallen into slumber. Once it awakens, it will surely look down upon the world and avenge all its deep-seated grudges. What do you think?"
"Heavens above! The Later Han dynasty has risen! The people of the Central Plains are about to take their revenge..."
That night, everyone in Jin Yuan Prefecture was terrified!
Watching Liu Fu dismantle all the city walls, one by one, was like living in a nightmare...
