The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists
Chapter 66 Internal strife
Su Fengyi asked Qian Yicheng to find someone who was familiar with Qingbiankou. Qian Yicheng did not give her a perfunctory answer and indeed found a local from Qingbiankou among the postmen, a dark and thin old man.
Maybe because Qian was a big surname in the local area, or Qian Yicheng followed the principle of making money together and brought his own relatives to work as postmen, so the old man also had the surname Qian.
Old Man Qian was very familiar with the terrain of Qingbiankou. When he saw the mountain pass pointed out by Su Fengyi, he said:
"Yes, I used to pass by there when I was herding sheep. There was a beautiful pasture just outside the place!"
Qian Yicheng wanted to send Su Fengyi and his group away immediately. Hearing this, he said:
"Uncle, if it's so beautiful, hurry up and don't delay Shangguan's important business."
Old Man Qian was also very helpful. He took Su Fengyi and his group on horseback, then crossed the mountain and took a shortcut. When it was almost dawn, the group reached the small hillside opposite the mountain pass and hid.
At the foot of the hill, inside the mountain pass, Liu An and a group of people were talking to a group of northern barbarians, while the emperor and Qiao Gui were both tied up and lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
There were a lot of corpses lying next to the two of them, probably the people that Qiao Gui had brought with him before.
Liu An and the northern barbarians, the two groups together have a total of two hundred people. If they were to set up an ambush on both sides of the mountain pass in advance, it would not be difficult to kill dozens of Qiao Gui's men one by one.
Su Fengyi only has a dozen people on his side, and it would be difficult to kill these two hundred fully armed people.
Logically speaking, now that the emperor has been captured, the two groups should join hands to take the next step and use the emperor to gain benefits. However, for some unknown reason, the two groups became more and more excited as they talked, and seemed like they were about to fight.
They were far away, and if Xie Xuan was there, with his hearing ability, he might be able to hear clearly, but everyone present could not hear clearly what the two groups were saying.
Wutong, the girl, became more and more courageous after running out. In such a dangerous place, she was not afraid, but eager to try:
"Your Highness, no, Master, I will go down a little to listen to what they are saying. Anyway, I am small and they can't notice me."
Su Fengyi held down the daring girl and said:
"No need to, you know without even listening, what else can we do in this situation? It's just an internal quarrel over uneven distribution of spoils. Let them do whatever they want. If they really start fighting, that would be great.
Even if they don't fight, as long as they stay and drag on for a few more hours, General Shen's troops will surely arrive.
In that case, don’t take unnecessary risks.”
Old Man Qian said:
"That's right, it's just that matter, dividing the spoils. Let me tell you, you said he is your emperor, so he is the emperor?
How do I know if you just found someone to deceive me? I have to bring him back to show our king to know if he is the real emperor, ouch!"
Hearing this, Old Man Qian was startled, looked at Su Fengyi in horror, and asked:
"Sir, the one lying on the ground, could that really be our emperor?"
Wutong was also startled:
"You can hear the old man from such a distance? What else are they saying? Listen to them!"
Old Man Qian nodded and continued to listen. The more he listened, the more horrified he became:
"Then this guy said, 'You guys are not trustworthy. You have to pay first and then you can get the goods. If you don't pay, you can't take the people away.'
Then the other one said, your great generals are all dead, and even without this emperor knocking on the door, our king can still win the battle. He is not worth that much money now, we are at a disadvantage, please give him a cheaper price... "
Old Man Qian almost couldn't stand up after hearing this. His legs were weak and he almost fainted. He just knelt on the ground and looked at Su Fengyi eagerly:
"Is it really our emperor? Isn't the emperor in the palace? How did he get captured here by these foreigners?"
Su Fengyi did not answer, but asked him:
"Old man Qian, who is the most capable and promising person in your Qian family right now?"
How did they suddenly talk about the Qian family? Old Man Qian was completely confused, but he still replied honestly:
"Of course it's our eldest nephew. He's the postmaster, an official. But it took a lot of effort for our Qian family's ancestors to produce such an official."
The Postmaster was a lowly official who was not even of the ninth rank, but in Old Man Qian's heart, he was the most powerful person he could ever meet in the world.
Su Fengyi did not correct Old Man Qian about the postmaster not being considered an official, but just smiled and said:
"It won't be like that soon, because your Qian family will have an official like you who has made great contributions in saving the emperor. Old man Qian, the person lying on the ground is the emperor of our Great Mu Dynasty, and I am the eldest princess of the Great Mu Dynasty.
I order you to report everything the people below say from now on. Once you rescue the emperor, I will grant you the rank of the seventh-rank general flag of the Jinyiwei. Are you willing?"
Old Man Qian felt like he was dreaming, and asked in a daze:
"Seventh rank, how high is the rank of seventh rank? Is it higher than my eldest nephew's rank?"
Wutong suddenly said:
"How can your eldest nephew compare to him? The county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official."
Old Man Qian murmured:
"I am going to be the magistrate of the county! I am going to be the magistrate of the county!"
This time he was not just about to faint, his eyes rolled back and he really fainted.
Wutong was well prepared. He pinched Old Man Qian's philtrum hard. Old Man Qian woke up slowly, then slapped himself hard. After making sure he was not dreaming, he began to tell Su Fengyi what the two groups below were talking about.
The long list of narrations was exactly what Su Fengyi had expected, and it could be summed up in two words: internal strife.
Generally, these gangs arise for profit. In the early stages of cooperation, they are all good to each other, and they are willing to agree to any conditions and offer any benefits.
Since it's a gang crime, who knows whether it can succeed. Just agree to it first, and then think about it later. Once it's accomplished, you can go back on your word.
But once it comes to the stage of dividing the spoils, it is not so easy to negotiate. Every penny must be divided clearly, even the hair on the big fat pig, who gets more and who gets less, all have to be calculated clearly.
If they can't distinguish clearly, if one of them feels that he has been taken advantage of, they will naturally start fighting, using weapons to attack each other, and perform a show of black eating black on the spot.
What Su Fengyi saw now was the scene where Liu An and the northern barbarians failed to reach an agreement on the division of pork, and the emperor who was tied to the ground and whom they had been looking for for a day and two nights was the big fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.
As Su Fengyi listened, she found that Liu An was gradually softening his stance and seemed ready to agree to the Northern Barbarians' conditions. Even if he did not have so much silver, he would hand over the emperor to them.
This is easy to understand. What Liu An is after is not the silver, but the great cause. He asks for the silver just for show so as to prevent the Northern Barbarians from getting too much and becoming suspicious. Even if the Northern Barbarians don't pay a penny, he will hand over the emperor.
Seeing that the two sides had resolved their differences and reached an agreement, and were about to hand over the person and the goods, and the money and goods were settled, and then they would go their separate ways, Su Fengyi raised the feather arrow in her hand.
Internal strife? If no one is killed, what kind of internal strife is it?
You want to get away with it after holding the emperor hostage? That’s wishful thinking!
Let me help you light another fire!
Su Fengyi bent his bow and shot three arrows in a row at the moon in the sky.
An arrow fell and hit the forehead of the Northern Barbarians' leader who was in charge of the negotiations. The leader fell to the ground and died.
Two more arrows fell, one hit the right eye of the Northern Barbarian on the left of the little leader, and the other hit the left eye of the Northern Barbarian on the right of the little leader. The two men screamed and fell to the ground howling in fear.
Old Man Qian was still dutifully conveying the message to Su Fengyi:
"Cheating! Cheat! The people of Central Plains cheated! Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! You dare to cut me? Look at the sword! Die!"
Looking at the two groups of people hacking and killing each other in a mess at the mountain pass, Su Fengyi was finally satisfied.
Well, with my help, there will be some relief from the internal strife.
