Chapter 394 Conspiracy!
Although his mother and aunt are not good at cooking, he really doesn't want to eat meat.
Li Nian frowned, looked at Fubao aggrievedly, and whispered, "Senior Sister, I'm not hungry!"
"How can I not be hungry?"
"Look how much thinner you have become!"
"Eat, don't be shy, just like you're at home!"
Fubao is very hospitable.
Dabao and Erbao were also very sincere and said, "Uncle Shiji, you really don't have to be polite. Look at this Dongpo pork elbow, it melts in your mouth, it's so delicious!"
"Come, try it!"
It was a rare occasion that Dabao, who was always greedy, took the initiative to pick up a piece of crystal clear Dongpo elbow skin with chopsticks for little friend Li Nian.
Unable to refuse the kind invitation, little Li Nian had no choice but to start eating.
And then, mmm, it smells so good!
Although it’s all meat, this is what meat is!
Next, without Fubao's persuasion, little Li Nian had already started the glutton mode.
"Aunt, can we eat now?"
"Of course, eat, eat, you are the guests, you must accompany your junior master to enjoy the meal!"
"Yeah, sure!"
The two brothers started moving instantly.
Fubao watched the three foodies start eating, and he also started eating happily at another table.
Why not eat at the same table?
Of course it’s because she wants to give her special treatment!
Of course, more importantly, Fubao is working hard to cultivate the relationship between her two nephews and the young prince of Yan. As their aunt, worrying about their future at such a young age, it is really not easy to be an elder.
…
Huangfengkou Pass.
Old Master Xu had just finished practicing with a spear and was sitting there drinking tea.
Not far away, Boss Xu was counting his money with an abacus in his hand.
Two world wars, well, let’s just call them world wars!
Anyway, of the 5,000 garrison troops that followed them from Xiangyi Prefecture, except for one unlucky guy who accidentally rolled down the stairs and was injured, the rest of them all gained weight.
And the so-called civilians who were escorting the grain and fodder also gained weight.
Boss Xu was calculating the income and expenditure of their trip.
A guaranteed profit was certain, but the exact amount would require careful calculation. After all, according to the rules, the 20,000 civilians were supposed to return after the food and supplies were delivered.
Therefore, all the expenses incurred by these people staying in Huangfengkou in the later period will have to be borne by the Xu family themselves.
If I didn’t have a mine at home, I really wouldn’t dare to be so generous.
Fortunately, after two battles, there were no casualties and a large amount of spoils were captured.
Mr. Xu doesn't even need to go back to mine to make up for these expenses.
“Woo——”
Just when Boss Xu was halfway through settling the accounts, the sound of horns from the northern barbarians was heard outside the Huangfengkou Pass.
"What's going on?"
Old Master Xu grabbed his spear and rushed out.
Boss Xu naturally did not lag behind. He threw away his abacus and picked up his spear.
As for Xu Laoer, he had already reached the city wall.
At this time, countless Northern Barbarian cavalry appeared outside the Huangfengkou Pass, and in front of these Northern Barbarian cavalry were the driven people of the Tang Dynasty.
"These idiots are at it again!"
"Dad, I'm going to kill some!"
When Xu Laoer saw the situation outside, he immediately wanted to rush out of the pass.
"Stand up!"
Old Master Xu shouted, stopping Old Master Xu immediately. "Do you think all the Northern Barbarians are fools?"
"Just wait for me obediently!"
Not long ago, Old Master Xu received news from King Yan at the Northwest Military Camp that the Northern Barbarians were about to withdraw. But now, the Northern Barbarians have reappeared outside the Yellow Wind Pass.
So, either the Northern Barbarians went back on their word, or the Northern Barbarian King planned to break through the Huangfeng Pass before withdrawing his troops to avenge his two sons.
Either way, they will face a real tough battle.
If we win this battle, then it will definitely be a decisive one.
But if we lose this battle, the northern barbarians will probably march in and wreak havoc in the four northwestern prefectures of the Tang Dynasty.
"Light the smoke signals as a warning!"
"Immediately send someone to the Northwest Zhenjun Camp to ask King Yan for help!"
Mr. Xu gave the order decisively.
"Beat the drums, and fight!"
Although the Northern Barbarians were driving the people of the Tang Dynasty, given the overall situation, Mr. Xu had no choice but to calm down.
Before long, the Northern Barbarian cavalry had driven the Tang people to the attack range of the Eight Ox Crossbows, but the Northern Barbarians stopped at this time, and three riders rode out from the group and headed straight for the Huangfengkou Pass.
"shoot!"
Old Master Xu did not give the other side any chance to get close to the pass and directly ordered the Eight Ox Crossbows to fire.
There is an old saying that when two armies fight, they do not kill envoys.
But now, Mr. Xu did not give the Northern Barbarian envoy any chance to get close and directly ordered him to be shot.
It wasn't that Old Master Xu didn't understand, but he didn't dare let the Northern Barbarian envoy get close to him because he was worried that the other party was going to use an open conspiracy.
Once a conspiracy is revealed, there is no other way to deal with it except to accept it.
Otherwise, nothing good will be waiting for them.
However, Mr. Xu still underestimated the insidiousness of the northern barbarians.
After the three envoys were shot dead, the Northern Barbarians sent out another envoy. This time, accompanying the envoys were not only the Northern Barbarians, but also the people of the Tang Dynasty who were being driven.
In this situation, what could Mr. Xu do? Facing the northern barbarians who did not come to attack the city, he could not order the crossbows to be fired.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as the Northern Barbarian envoys approached the Huangfengkou Pass.
"I've heard that the Yongwu County Master of the Tang Dynasty is brave and good at fighting. My king has three brave generals under his command. I'm willing to compete with the Yongwu County Master."
"If the brave and valiant county lord wins, my king will withdraw his troops immediately and release all the Tang people here!"
"If the title of Brave County Master is unworthy of his name, then use his head to pay tribute to the souls of our two princes in heaven!"
"Brave county lord, do you dare to go out of the city and fight?"
"Do you dare to fight?"
The three Northern Barbarian envoys spoke one after another, each one louder than the last.
On the city wall of Huangfengkou Pass, Old Man Xu closed his eyes.
Things really happened as he thought.
The Northern Barbarians really used an open conspiracy.
This conspiracy is extremely vicious.
"Dad, let me go!"
When it comes to fighting, Xu Laoer is really not afraid of anyone.
Of course, his master-master was an exception, because he was completely unbeatable.
But now they are on the battlefield, this is Xu Laoer's home court.
"Second brother, you, be careful!"
Old Master Xu turned around and glanced at his second son.
Xu Lao Er grinned and said, "Dad, just wait and see me kill everyone!"
Xu Laoer really didn't take the three upcoming fights seriously.
If he could really meet someone who could fight on the battlefield, he would only be more excited.
"Second brother!"
“Second brother!”
The eldest Xu and the third Xu looked at the second Xu, who was dressed in full armor and ready to go down to the pass, with serious expressions.
"Big Brother, Third Brother, maybe I can kill another prince!"
Xu Laoer laughed, eager to fight.
"Brother, take this. Light the string when necessary. It might be useful!"
Xu Laosan handed the largest firecracker he made to Xu Laoer.
