A buzzing discussion sounded below.

Disappointment flashed in the eyes of everyone in the Small Tribe Alliance, but in Liu Mingqi's opinion, there was not much such indignation.

Grassland people have always been very practical, but they are definitely not pedantic.

If others don’t give it to me, I hate others’ things, and they usually won’t do it.

What's more, they are used to doing business.

Doing business naturally requires bargaining.

The next moment, Julu Dayong coughed lightly and bowed, "Two princes, if it's just this condition, then you will hurt our hearts. I'm afraid there's not much room for negotiation."

He is quite polite.

Xue Jikongkong immediately said, "I want to buy horse bones with a wealth of money, and I want to save money by stinginess. What big things can you do? Can't you see the huge benefits of our inclusion in Dakang?

Hundreds of thousands of war horses poured into Dakang, and they could form strong combat power in three to five years, so that they could fight against Uighurs, Western Qiang or Shiwei. Don’t you want to take revenge?"

"But you are like only enjoying our benefits, but it has planted the seeds of turmoil for our peace." Liu Mingqi said, "A lesson from the past and the teacher of the future. Dakang cannot leave such a big hidden danger to future generations because of temporary benefits. Please understand our feelings."

After a pause, he said again: "Of course, if it is a money issue, you can talk about your expectations, and we still have to talk about it."

"Money is a small matter, and land is also a small matter." Xue Ji pointed at himself and pointed at the nobles of the small tribe alliance present. "The key is, how is Dakang prepared to protect our power? Do we have no power? Do we have no aristocratic titles?"

"What do you think?" Liu Mingqi stopped Liu Mingjing's answer and asked him in reverse.

"We hope to continue to be the patriarch and leader of these tribesmen, and then follow the laws of Dakang, we will become nobles and real nobles." Xue Ji Kongkong Lion said: "The patriarch is the earl, and the lowest is the viscount."

"Are you crazy?"

Liu Mingjing could no longer help, "Do you think our Dakang title is Dabaicai, and you can give it to him anyway? The grandfather of His Highness De around you is just an earl. My brother-in-law is just an earl... You only have 200,000 to 300,000 people, but you actually want to have eight earls and twenty or thirty viscounts. Do you think it is possible?"

"There are exceptions, and our meaning is different." Xue Jikongkong insisted, "If you don't even have this sincerity, what else can you say? We want to have a better life, not like now, or worse than now!

To put it bluntly, the life of those herders below has nothing to do with us nobles. Only when you make us all happy can you get so many horses, cattle and sheep and those skilled masters!"

Kasaba heard Xue Ji Kongkong's words, who had already let himself go, and frowned continuously.

He glanced at Huo Quba without a trace.

Huo Quba didn't look at him, but shook his head slightly, indicating that this was not what he had arranged.

But in fact, Huo Quba was quite satisfied.

No wonder when everyone discussed it before, Xue Jikong basically stopped talking. It turned out to be hidden here, and it was like this to express dissatisfaction!

He is much more fierce than the white-faced sentence he arranged.

Xue Jikongkong said so bluntly that he had torn off all the masks, but Liu Mingjing not only did not look down on him, but instead felt that this guy was very straightforward, at least he could say whatever he wanted.

This will be easy to do.

Moreover, such straightforward and greedy are very consistent with the normal image.

If he didn't ask for anything and just focused on finding a good home for his tribe members, it would be impossible for anyone to believe in someone with such a saintly heart.

At least it can't be found in the small tribe alliance.

Not only Liu Mingjing, but Liu Mingqi also feels so.

The young man said, "We are sincere, but we are definitely not just satisfying you all, without considering the actual situation of Dakang. If you surrender to get such a high title, what should those who have made contributions in Dakang themselves do? Do you know Liu Renhuai, the Governor of Jiangnan? He made such great contributions in Jiangnan, and the court did not grant him a title of marquis."

Huo Quba quickly argued, "The officials are different from us. They were only appointed as marquis after resignation, right?"

"The truth is actually the same." Liu Mingqi said, "Dakang's title was very strict before. Except for the royal children who could have a viscount guarantee, other achievements continued to decline until they became ordinary people. Therefore, the higher the title they received, the more they would benefit future generations.

But now it’s different. You can apply for a grace order to the court based on your contribution and money. As long as you maintain a noble, even if you are just a baron, you will have many preferential treatments in business and many privileges."

Now everyone has noticed that Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing are also dressed as red and the other is dressed as white.

Or it is because Liu Mingqi himself is relatively gentle.

So when Liu Mingqi said this, the faces of the group also eased a lot.

Liu Mingjing did not relax. He said, "I am not afraid to let everyone down. The highest emperor among you promised a baron, and the elders only had the reward of money and fields. This is the price we sincerely gave, so you can consider it."

"What if the result we consider is not good?" Huo Quba asked.

"Then there is nothing to say. I can't do business with you in the past few years. I hope you will be fine all the way!" Liu Mingjing said without giving in.

"snort!"

Xue Ji slapped the table and said, "You are too bullying. Do you really think that without Dakang, we can't survive!"

After speaking, he walked straight outside.

For some reason, this kid actually bumped into Xiong Dabao outside and heard a "Ouch".

Then there was a roar of "What are you doing in my way?"

Xiong Dabao also said in reverse, "You are not too eye-catching when walking! Get out of here!"

Fortunately, the two had such a dispute, and soon there was no news outside.

Xue Ji left empty-handed, which made the atmosphere of the talks a little awkward.

Everyone's negotiations were still in a state of anxiety.

Liu Mingjing refused to raise the price, and the small tribe alliance refused to compromise.

It was delayed until noon.

Both sides didn't even have the interest in having dinner together, so they went back directly and discussed what to do in the afternoon.

...

A group of people from the Small Tribe Alliance entered the tent and found that Xue Ji Kongkong was already holding a roast lamb leg and was eating big mouthfuls.

"You're leaving casually!"

Sitting beside him, Kasaba frowned, "Why did this? Didn't you agree to tell me that Dayong will make a fuss with them? What are you going to steal the limelight?"

"I can't help it." Xue Jikong said, "I was originally trying to get angry before, just waiting for him... But Julu Dayong kept holding it up, and I couldn't figure out what he was so soft!"

Julu Dayong also pulled a piece of fat mutton beside him and said while eating: "Grass! Can I be so naughty? I embarrass them as soon as I came out? Isn't this arousing doubt? As a result, I didn't, you got it... But you said it was even more ruthless than I thought, it tasted that way!"

"Um!"

Huo Quba sat down, rubbed his face, and suddenly asked, "Xue Jikongkong, don't you want to do something... For example, I hope the negotiations will break down and let Liu Mingqi escape, right?"

"I?"

Xue Jikongkong was furious: "Caught! It's not just that your wife and children were caught by them, but mine too! My family is in their hands. How dare you do anything? I'm not afraid of death, aren't my wife and children afraid of death?"

As soon as he got angry, the tribe leaders immediately had nothing to say.

There was a hint of anger in the aggrievedness.

But it was so strong that it was helpless.

Try to see if you are being overwhelmed by soldiers and you are surrounded directly?

The Western Qiang and Uighurs are not vegetarians. One is not good, and it will take only a few minutes to level them all.

To be precise, if it weren't for Liu Mingqi, they wouldn't have been treated like this, and they might have been destroyed directly.

So it can also be said that if it weren't for luring Liu Mingqi out of Dakang and arresting him, maybe they, the traitors, would have been killed.

run?

Where to run?

Even if they ignore their relatives, their subordinates and friends who follow them are all in the hands of the Western Qiang and Uighurs.

Even if everyone can run together, the 100,000 Uighur army and the Western Qiang army around can chase them to death at any time!

therefore

There is no way.

Only give in!

It is better for Liu Mingqi to die than if they die together by more than 100,000 people.

What's more, the Western Qiang and the Uighurs just wanted to capture Liu Mingqi.

Everyone feels less guilty.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. In fact, Xue Jikongkong did this well, which made them think we just felt that the conditions were not good and delayed time." Che Liluo, who had not spoken, said: "Next, let's consider more about how to delay them to relax their vigilance and cooperate with the Western Qiang Uighurs to capture Liu Mingqi!"

"That's all..."

Huo Quba sighed, "It's not that we are unkind and righteous, there's nothing we can do!"

...

On the other side, inside Liu Mingqi's tent.

Xiong Dabao, who was talking and laughing with Liu Mingjing, walked in and ordered loudly: "Today I will get another sheep to eat, make me boil it in water, and dip it in seasonings, it's very beautiful!"

"The mutton here is indeed good, it has no smell of mutton." Liu Mingjing said in a funny way.

As a result, when he came in, Xiong Dabao winked at the two brothers and said loudly: "This group of guys is really troublesome. I don't know how long it will take to go. I really have no sincerity!"

At this time, Liu Mingqi, who had not had time to speak, had her eyes widened.

Then he handed the note in his hand to Liu Mingjing.

Liu Mingjing looked down.

There is only one word written on it.
Chapter completed!
