Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 335 The world is so ridiculous

In mid-April, the northbound mission returned to Xi'an City, accompanied by [-] soldiers sent by Azig.

Li Guo greeted the mission at Xingguo's mansion, he was both surprised and happy and said, "Oh, why did you return so quickly? Are you done?"

Xia Wanchun then detailed his experiences of going north, as well as the process and results of the negotiations with Azig, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, there is no place to go after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all. I originally thought that this trip would probably take a whole person. It’s been half a year, and success or failure is uncertain. Who would have thought that I would meet Azig in Yinshan Mountain? It’s really God’s will!”

"Yes, God bless my Ming Dynasty!" Li Guo said.

Cao Huachun clapped his hands and asked the soldiers to bring Niu Jinxing up, saying: "General Li, our family has brought you a big gift."

When Li Guo saw Niu Jinxing, his eyes suddenly widened, apparently quite surprised.But he calmed down immediately, his face was very indifferent, as if he just saw an irrelevant person.

Li Guo's attitude was unexpected.Xia Wanchun and Cao Huachun had heard before that after Li Guo captured Niu Jinxing's son Niu Quan, he cut him alive with a single knife, and wept emotionally.

How could Li Guo be so indifferent to Niu Jinxing?You must know that Niu Jinxing was the chief culprit that led to the downfall of the Dashun Dynasty!
Perhaps this was the calm before the storm, Xia Wanchun guessed that Li Guo was stunned by the sudden stimulation of the enemy, and when he regained his senses, he might burst into a rage.

Thinking of this, Xia Wanchun closely watched Li Guo's every move, and if the situation was too serious, he would try to dissuade him.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, Li Guo remained calm as usual.

On the contrary, Niu Jinxing was completely panicked. Ever since he betrayed the court of Dashun and resulted in the deaths of Li Zicheng and Empress Gao, this old thief had nightmares almost every night.

I dreamed that the wronged soul was asking for his life, and I dreamed that Li Guo asked him for revenge.The dream is cruel and cold, which often scares Niu Jinxing into sweat.

He also thought that if it fell into Li Guo's hands, his end would definitely be more tragic than the scene in his dream.

Who would have thought that at this moment Li Guo didn't say a word, nor did he jump into a rage and curse the world, his behavior was extremely abnormal.Niu Jinxing felt that something was wrong, thinking to himself that something more terrifying than death was waiting for him.

"Niu Jinxing, hum, it's God's will that we can meet each other in our lifetime." Li Guo said coldly, walked to a grand master's chair, and sat down.

"Kneel down!" shouted a soldier.

Niu Jinxing knelt down, shaking like chaff, his face pale as paper.The calmer Li Guo was, the more tormented he was.

Niu Jinxing was about to collapse, and said in a begging tone: "General Li, I have made thousands of mistakes, all of which are the fault of this old man. This old man is a big sinner, you can simply kill me with a knife, and give me a good time..."

Li Guo stroked the beard on his chin, and said: "I will definitely kill you, and it would be too difficult not to kill you! But before I kill you, I always have a question in my mind, I want to ask clearly."

"Niu Jinxing, you used to be the prime minister of the Dashun Dynasty, and you were deeply trusted and valued by the Emperor Dashun. Even Liu Zongmin and Song Xiance couldn't compare with you. You are really below one person and above ten thousand people. , an extremely human minister."

"I'm really puzzled. How much benefit did Jiannu promise you to make you betray Dashun? Tell me, tell me."

Xia Wanchun and Cao Huachun also had the same question in their hearts. When Li Guo's words touched their hearts, they immediately became interested and pricked up their ears.

Niu Jinxing said: "First, when Chen Hongfan was on his way to the court, he brought me beautiful women, horses, and various treasures from the Qing Dynasty, estimated to be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Later, Chen Hongfan brought Fan Wencheng's letter of surrender, promising to give me My father and son are crowned kings and marquises."

"That's all?" Li Guoda frowned.

"That's all. The old man got less than 10 taels of silver from the Manchu Qing court. As for the title of king and marquis, there is no sign of it. After the fall of the Dashun Dynasty, the Manchu court did not give me the title of king at all. On one side, and Niu Quan only became the magistrate of Shangzhou."

As soon as this remark came out, the people present were both amused and angry.

The tea in Cao Huachun's mouth spewed out, and he said dumbfounded: "It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable, Niu Jinxing, you made a deal that lost money!"

Li Guo almost vomited blood: "Niu Jinxing, don't you know how to settle accounts? As the prime minister of the Dashun Dynasty, as long as you loyally assist the emperor, you will earn more than one hundred thousand in this life? What's the difference? I... I don't know what to say about you!"

Xia Wanchun shook his head and sighed: "There is a poem to describe Niu Jinxing's actions, 'the world is so ridiculous, and the dung balls are rich'. Niu Jinxing is just like a dung beetle. As long as it is a dung ball, he wants to take it for himself. You are so greedy, but in the end you end up harming others and yourself and lose money. Niu Jinxing, you have been running around all your life, calculating all your life, and in the end you have nothing at all, it’s really ridiculous!"

Li Guo couldn't help but laugh, and shouted: "There are so many soldiers in the Dashun Dynasty. When they were about to die, they never thought that their lives would be ruined by tens of thousands of taels of silver. God, you're making too much of a joke!"

After sighing with emotion, Li Guo looked at Niu Jinxing and said: "In the past, I would have to eat your flesh and drink your blood, but the world has gone through vicissitudes, and I have figured out a lot of things. How can I deal with you with a hideous face and a dirty heart?" If you don’t have the common sense of a villain, you’re asking yourself for humiliation, and there’s no reason to tarnish your own reputation.”

"Come on, drag Niu Jinxing out and behead him, and then send his head to the Jiugong Mountain Mausoleum to comfort the spirits of the late emperor and empress!"

Niu Jinxing died, he suffered a lot less than his own son, and suffered a lot less than other big traitors.

But both Cao Huachun and Xia Wanchun were very much in favor of Li Guo's actions. People like Niu Jinxing are not worth wasting half of their energy on him. Ignoring him is the greatest revenge.

Killing Niu Jinxing was like strangling an ant to death, and Li Guo completely forgot about him in the blink of an eye, as if there had never been such a person in the world.

"My lords, what's the next plan?" Li Guo asked.

Cao Huachun said: "Since we have negotiated with Azige, we must give him the silver as agreed. The 40 taels of silver that our family has deposited with General Li will be given to Azige in two installments. Then wait for him to leave Tongguan. General Li, send someone to hand over Azig's men."

Li Guo nodded, and beckoned to Xiao Erhei: "I leave this matter to you."

Xiao Erhei took the order to leave, and the three of them talked about the uprising of the Duke of the Kingdom, and they all praised Wang Yi for his unparalleled loyalty and righteousness, for always taking risks with his own life for the court.

Two days later, when the 20 soldiers sent by Azig escorted the [-] taels of silver to Yinshan, Xia Wanchun decided to return to Xuzhou and led the delegation to leave Xi'an.
