Chapter 135
Yun Yao practices daily on the North Bank, and the extra time he spends working while watching the recent situation on the South Bank, as if he is watching an inspirational entrepreneurial drama.
Today, when I saw the matchmaker entering the south fiefdom, I knew that someone was going to talk to Xiao Ge about the matchmaking.
Xiao Ge is indeed not young, but he is not over 30 years old, so even if he is single, it is not a crime. A man will violate the Zhou Li regulations until he is thirty, and he will be punished. The king of Lu Guo is willing to betroth the second princess to him, and according to Xiao Ge's conditions, he can fully accept this marriage. Because marriage can consolidate the relationship between Xiao Guo and Lu Guo.
However, Xiao Ge still needs to consider it and discuss it with his family before he can decide.
The result of the negotiation was of course no reason to reject the marriage between Lu Guo. Xiao Guoxin had many places to help. If Lu Guo could provide help, it would be extremely happy. When the bride married, in addition to the dowry, it would definitely bring a lot of people, which were lacking in Xiao Guo.
So Xiao Ge agreed to the marriage, and he said to the matchmaker: "I, Xiao Kingdom, are willing to send a wedding letter and marry the second princess of Lu Kingdom next summer."
When the matchmaker saw that he had completed the task, he immediately took out the bamboo slips and asked for a marriage letter to go back and report it.
Just when they thought everything was going to be fine and the marriage could be completed smoothly, a noisy sound suddenly came, followed by a shrill scream.
Xiao Ge was stunned. When he came outside the house, he saw the slave Zhuang grabbing a stone and hitting a soldier in Lu State, his head was broken.
The deceased only screamed and died.
The process happened too quickly, and the soldiers around him did not react. They thought it was very safe in the Xiao Kingdom fief, and even if there were Dongyi slaves not far away, they didn't have to worry.
But he didn't expect that a strong slave, who had launched a sneak attack, knocking the person to death in an instant.
The soldiers around him realized when the dead's heads were already mixed with the mud, but no one dared to take action when he looked at the mad man.
"Bold!" Seeing that it was his slave who killed the envoy of the Lü Kingdom, Xiao Ge was furious, picked up the wooden stick on the side and rushed forward. He first lured the stone in Zhuang's hand to throw it, and then flexibly avoided the attack from the other side.
This is exactly the exquisite move "Ge Shadows Follow" in "Eight Masters Ge", combining virtual and real to attack them without any precautions.
Although Zhuang is strong, he relies on his brute force and has never learned combat skills. Unexpectedly, Xiao Gesheng attacked the east and west, and it was difficult to dodge at this time. He was stabbed in the waist and his strength was immediately lost.
Xiao Ge has experienced many battles and is able to accumulate military achievements and become a baron. He is definitely a magic weapon on the battlefield. His fighting style is tough but not unstoppable. He steps on the breeze and his sticks are like a dragon.
Zhuang was stabbed hard by a stick, and Xiao Ge swept it over again: "Charge flat." Boom, the long stick roared like a chariot ran through the enemy's head. The stick hit the back of the head, and the huge force penetrated into the brain.
Bloody saliva and snot suddenly oozed out of the strong mouth and nose, and fainted and piled up with the body.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ge was furious. Zhuang was a slave he valued very much. Why did something that hurt people suddenly happen: "Why didn't you watch him? Is the bronze spear in your hands a decoration?" He blamed his retainers.
The matchmaker looked unhappy. Is this slap him in the face? "This slave must be executed, I will take his head back." It's winter now, and there is no need to be used for preservation. If it is cut down in summer, salt will be added, otherwise it will smell on the road.
Xiao Ge was not very willing. After all, one is stronger than ten, and it is useful when opening the land: "I will exchange other slaves. Do you think? This slave is as powerful as a barbarian bull, and I still need him to open the land. If you are willing to change, you can choose it yourself and cut it down to pay tribute to the dead warrior." Zhou Li doesn't understand people's hearts. Everyone has closeness and distantness in their hearts, and interests are gained and lost. Everyone cannot be in the form of Zhou Li.
"Murdering someone will pay for his life. Since he killed someone, how can he find someone else to replace him?" The matchmaker did not accept this suggestion: "I want his head. You don't have to worry about the opening up of the land. As long as you marry our Lu Guo, our Lu Guo will not treat you badly at that time. We must offer cattle, sheep and good varieties. So in order to complete the marriage, the murderer must be executed."
Before he got married, Xiao Ge felt that Lu State was oppressing himself as a big country, a small country that had just been established. Although he was just a baron, he was not a high position, and had little power, and had little food, he was not a vassal of Lu State: "A noble man will marry him next year, but it is urgent to open up the land. Far water cannot quench the near thirst. I cannot give up my current job because of Lu State's promise. So he cannot kill him, he must survive." Pointing to the unconscious bravery, Xiao Ge said word by word.
The matchmaker frowned, and he found that Xiao Ge had a bad tone and had a big temper. The matchmaker thought that this person would not obey Lu Guo easily. Will Lu Guo lose money to the second princess and pay the dowry again?
The reason why Lu Jun is optimistic about Xiao Ge is that he is interested in Xiao Ge's combat effectiveness. Lu Guo is close to Dongyi and is threatened every year. Although he can ask other princes for help, help is not just for real money and silver. So Lu Jun thought that if he had a son-in-law who could fight, if Lu Guo needed help, then the son-in-law would have to work hard, so that he could spend money at one time to obtain the permanent right to use Xiao Ge.
If the Dongyi encounters harassment again, the Lu Kingdom will ask Xiao Kingdom for help. With Xiao Ge's courage and the soldiers of the two countries, the two countries will work together to resist the Dongyi. This is a huge profit, so the Lu Kingdom will find Xiao Kingdom to marry him.
In this calculation, the people of Lu State looked down on the Baron Xiao Ge more or less. Even if he successfully established the country, he could not change the fact that the country was great, Xiao State was young, nor could he change the fact that the country's comprehensive national strength was stronger than Xiao State, and he would inevitably despise and neglect.
The matchmaker's tone had already shown Lu Guo's attitude towards Xiao Guo, not equality, but a condescending look.
When the matchmaker heard that Xiao Ge was so ungrateful, he immediately said, "Do you want to destroy the marriage between the two countries for a slave? Don't lose the big one because of a small mistake. This slave is strong, but since he suddenly started to kill people, he can't stay. Are you not afraid that he will kill people in your country of Xiao?"
"He has always performed well, never hurt anyone, and I don't know what happened today." Xiao Ge didn't know how crazy he was. If he was crazy, he would have had a long time ago and would not wait until now: "Does he know this soldier? Has this man also participated in the war to fight against Dongyi?"
The matchmaker nodded: "He did participate, so what?"
"It's very likely to be for personal grievances." Xiao Ge still had his own considerations. He said tactfully: "Otherwise, if it is personal grievances, we won't rise to the country. When he wakes up, we will ask clearly. If it is personal grievances, I will tie him up and immerse him in the river as a punishment. At the same time, you choose a slave's head and let us understand what's going on?"
When the matchmaker saw the frozen river surface, he thought that even if it was as strong as a cow soaked in the river in the twelfth lunar month, it would be a good fortune. Well, he agreed: "Okay, it's a matter of determination."
