After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

The King of Qi finally decided to write this extremely humiliating letter of surrender.

But when he wrote down 200,000 taels of gold, Lu Yuan stopped him with a smile and said, "100,000 taels."

The King of Qi was stunned, thinking, is there such a good thing in the world? Has this black-hearted man finally found his conscience?

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Write one hundred thousand taels, and don't let the court know about the other one hundred thousand taels."

The corner of the King of Qi's mouth twitched: "For embezzling money so blatantly, isn't Commander Lu afraid of being punished by your emperor?"

Lu Yuan raised the corner of his lips playfully: "King Qi, do you know why you lost? Because you didn't even investigate the details of this governor."

County Magistrate Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, looked up at the King of Qi and said tremblingly: "Uncle, I have reminded you that Lu Yuan is the emperor's father-in-law..."

The King of Qi said angrily, "If you call me uncle again, I will pull out your tongue!"

It's not that he hadn't inquired about Lu Yuan, the emperor's father-in-law, who controlled the government and played power games, but most of these ministers who bewitched the emperor had no real ability and only relied on their mouths to charm the monarch.

How could he know that most of the rumors spread by others were exaggerated, and that Lu Yuan would be even more ruthless than the rumors said.

"Write it."

Lu Yuan said with a smile.

The King of Qi gritted his teeth and wrote the letter of surrender.

"When will the evidence be given to me?"

Lu Yuan said calmly: "One hand gives gold, the other hand gives evidence."

The King of Qi left in a rage!

Not long after, he returned angrily: "The 100,000 taels that the delegation brought with them before..."

Lu Yuan looked at him with a half-smile: "Hmm?"

The King of Qi forced himself to hold back the curse words that were about to come out of his mouth. He had suffered all the losses in his life at the hands of Lu Yuan!

The 30,000 soldiers of Beiliang withdrew from the valley. After consulting Lu Yuan, Zhang Feihu also withdrew the 30,000 troops of the court back to Yumen Pass.

The imperial court's Tiger Division was stunned. They arrived at midnight yesterday and received the order to send troops to the valley before dawn. They thought they were going to have a decisive battle with the Northern Liang Army, but this was the result?

General Liu of the Tiger Division asked, "General Zhang, excuse me for asking..."

Zhang Feihu waved his hand: "No need to ask, we won the battle."

General Liu was confused: No, did they fight?

Meng Qianqian came out of the tent.

Zhang Feihu shouted at her, "Xiaojiu, are you going to leave?"

Meng Qianqian said: "Let's go."

General Liu asked curiously, "Who is she?"

Zhang Feihu put his arm around his shoulders, like a father showing off his child: "Come on, let me tell you in detail..."

The large army left, and the valley, which was once filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, returned to its former tranquility.

The only people left in the tent were Lu Yuan, who was quietly sipping tea, and Yu Zichuan, who was guarding by his side.

Suddenly, Yu Zichuan's expression changed and he looked at the door curtain vigilantly.

The door curtain was lifted, and a man dressed as a herdsman walked in.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Prince Li, please take a seat."

This man was none other than the Prince of Qi’s younger brother, the twenty-seven-year-old Fourth Prince of Beiliang.

Compared to the rough-mannered Prince Qi, Prince Li has a much more gentle temperament and a more handsome appearance. I heard that his mother is a beauty from the Central Plains, so this may be the reason.

However, precisely because of his impure bloodline, the Northern Liang Emperor did not value him very much.

Prince Li sat on the chair Prince Qi had sat on, facing Lu Yuan: "Grand Commander Lu is very capable, he controlled my third brother with just a few words."

Lu Yuan smiled and poured him a cup of tea: "Thanks to Prince Li for giving me the evidence that he framed Prince Rong En."

Prince Li said with a complicated expression: "I owed Yinhu a favor, but I didn't expect that he would give it to you."

Before his death, Yinhu gave Lu Yuan the token given to him by King Li, and asked Lu Yuan to contact King Li who was lurking at the border, saying that King Li could be of use.

Prince Li continued, "I am very curious, what did you promise Yin Hu? I know Yin Hu, he will never do a business that loses money."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Prince Li, don't worry about that. As for the Seventh Prince, Prince Li must ensure that your father sends someone here. Only when he has tasted the pain, will he hate Prince Qi, this useless son, even more."

Prince Li said, "I will make this happen myself, so the Grand Commander doesn't need to worry about it."

Lu Yuan said: "That's great."

Prince Li said solemnly: "I have made a five-year agreement with you that you will not invade the territory of Great Zhou, will not harm the people of Great Zhou, and will not kill the merchants of Great Zhou. But once the five-year period is up, I will march south to annex Great Zhou!"

Lu Yuan smiled but said nothing.

Prince Li glanced at Lu Yuan and said, "I am eager to seek talents. If the Grand Commander is willing to choose another wise leader, I am always here to serve you."

Lu Yuan served tea to see the guest off: "Prince Li, take care."

……

The army returned to Fengxian and remained stationed at the old site.

When the villagers saw them return, they were so excited that they steamed rice and flour buns and killed chickens and sheep to send to the soldiers. The women spontaneously mended their torn clothes.

The one and a half year old kid came over with his parents again.

His father was busy, so he staggered to Meng Qianqian's tent, threw his hands on the door curtain, and fell to the ground.

Meng Qianqian walked out of the tent and helped the little guy up.

The little guy chirped: "Mom."

Meng Qianqian sighed. I’m wearing a mask, how can you still recognize that I’m a woman?

When the little guy sees a woman, he calls her mother, and when he sees a man, he calls him father.

As luck would have it, Lu Lingxiao passed by here and saw the little guy: "You are here? Your mother is looking for you."

The little guy looked up at Lu Lingxiao.

Meng Qianqian was worried that the little guy would call Lu Lingxiao "dad" after calling her mom, which would really make her feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the little guy didn't shout, but just looked at him eagerly.

Lu Lingxiao reached out to hug him, but he pushed him away. He wanted Meng Qianqian.

"Where's his mother?"

Meng Qianqian asked.

"there."

Lu Lingxiao pointed.

Meng Qianqian carried the little guy to find his mother.

Lu Lingxiao always felt that she disliked him, but then he thought, it’s not surprising that Lu Yuan’s people disliked him.

Lu Lingxiao was responsible for delivering the things sent by the villagers back to the village.

There were too many things and he couldn't tell which belonged to whom, so he could only send them to the village chief's house first.

As soon as he entered the village chief's house, he noticed something was wrong.

The village chief's family has many children, so it's always chaotic. Today it's too quiet.

"village head?"

He called out, but there was no response from the village chief's family.

In the past, when the children in the village heard the voices of the soldiers, they would rush over.

Lu Lingxiao quickly put down the sack on his shoulder and cautiously pushed open the half-open door of the main room.

"Don't move! Or I'll kill them!"

He was a fish that escaped the net among the rebels. He held the village chief's family hostage. Several older children were tied up and cotton was stuffed in their mouths. The youngest one was held in his arms with a sharp knife against his throat.

The village head and his wife knelt on the ground.

Lu Lingxiao calmed down: "Let the child go, and we can talk."

The rebel said frantically: "What is there to say? I am going to die... I am going to die... You are here to arrest me... We all have to die! We all have to die!"

Lu Lingxiao said: "I'm not here to arrest you. Let the child go. I haven't seen you today."

The rebel brandished a knife: "I don't believe it! I will believe it only if you die in front of me! Otherwise I will kill him!"

"what--"

The village head’s wife cried out.

The rebel's knife cut the child's throat.

Without saying a word, Lu Lingxiao drew out the dagger and stabbed it into his own chest!

The rebels were stunned.

It's now!

Lu Lingxiao took a step forward, grabbed the rebel's dagger with one hand, and snatched the child from his arms with the other!

The rebel was furious and picked up a long stick and smashed it on the heads of the other two children.

Lu Lingxiao leaped forward and blocked the bench with his body.

The bench hit his back and head, and blood immediately flowed out.

The rebel pulled out another knife and slashed at Lu Lingxiao!

With a scream, the rebel was shot away by a silver needle and the dagger in his hand slipped out of his hand.

Meng Qianqian flashed in and kicked the dagger away!

The rebel's body twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

"It's okay." Meng Qianqian said to the village head and his wife while holding the little one in her arms.

The village head and his wife thanked Lian Lian, and the village head went to untie the child.

The village chief came to Lu Lingxiao with great concern and asked, "Sir, are you okay?"

Lu Lingxiao handed the child in his arms to him: "It's just a minor injury, I know it."

His own dagger was still stuck in his chest. In order to confuse the enemy, he really used ruthless force, but as an experienced general, he knew how to avoid the vital points.

Then, he looked at Meng Qianqian and said with a complicated expression, "Thank you for what you did just now."

Meng Qianqian ignored him and carried the little guy to find his grandparents.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the little girl suddenly took off her mask.

Meng Qianqian: “……!!”

She quickly turned her back and strode towards the door.

Unfortunately, it was too late, Lu Lingxiao had already seen it.

He didn't care that there was a knife stuck in his chest, and chased after him in disbelief: "Is it you?"

Meng Qianqian closed her eyes.

Lu Lingxiao endured the severe pain in his chest, walked around to her, stared at her face which he hadn't seen for many days, and couldn't believe what he saw!

Meng Xiaojiu...how could it be Meng Qianqian?

"You...that...I...am not..."

Lu Lingxiao was so shocked that he didn't know where to start.

"Go away!"

Meng Qianqian said impatiently.

"Nine open." The little guy imitated.

Meng Qianqian carried the little guy away.

Lu Lingxiao couldn't calm down for a long time.

"How could this happen? Is there something wrong? How could she be Meng Xiaojiu?"

"Why did she come to the border? Why did she become Lu Yuan's guard?"

"She still goes into battle to kill the enemy... She can't even kill an ant..."

Speaking of Wan'er going into battle to kill Thaksin, after all, Wan'er is the daughter of Shen Hou, and her father and brother are both heroes at the border, but she is just a dodder who is raised in a house and depends on men for survival.

The more Lu Lingxiao thought about it, the more confused he became.

After finding a military doctor to treat his injuries, he immediately went to Meng Qianqian's tent.

"Who allowed you to come in?"

Meng Qianqian asked coldly.

Lu Lingxiao came up to her and asked seriously, "Meng Qianqian, what on earth is going on?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "What happened is none of your business."

Lu Lingxiao frowned and said, "You came all the way to the border to find me. Could it be that you regretted it? What tricks are you trying to play? Do you want me to change my mind about you?"
