Who says sleep is not spiritual practice?

Chapter 170 I’m Sorry, There’s No Room for You in This Tent
It was the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, and there was a light rain in Beidi.

Fortunately, Jiang Qingyu originally planned to rest the troops in place for a few days, so the soldiers hid in the tents and did not suffer from the wind and rain.

At dusk you time.

Bao Luote, including the high priest and Li Mulan rode their horses in the rain and arrived at the garrison camp where Jiang Qingyu was.

In order to show that there was no malice, the three of them only brought less than a hundred riders, and ordered their subordinates to wait a hundred feet away.

Then, after obtaining Jiang Qingyu's permission, the three of them disarmed and unloaded their knives, and walked step by step towards the big tent in the center of the station under the vigilant eyes of Yu An and the others.

Soon, the appearance of Bao Luote caused a commotion among the five thousand captives. The two thousand soldiers who belonged to the Bao Luo family thought that the leader was here to rescue them. They all got out of the simple tents and shouted at Bao Luote:
"Boss, you are finally here!"

"I miss home!"

"Take us away, leader!"

……

Hearing the clansman's cry for help, Bao Luote couldn't help showing a trace of shame on his face.

After the [-] clansman became captives, he never intervened. Not only did he not lead an army to rescue them, but he joined forces with Qiyan Wumu, who blocked him from causing the clansmen to be captured, to encircle and suppress Tuobaqi.

I really can't stand these people!

On the side, Yu An thought it necessary to explain, so he said:
"Including the leader, don't worry."

"My son ordered that the prisoners have two meals a day, they can take turns riding horses when they are on the road, and they have a bonfire to keep warm when they sleep at night. Our soldiers are also strictly forbidden to torture and whip them without permission."

"So their life is not too hard."

"It's also thanks to the benevolence of the young master. If this is a different coach, how can it be so good to the prisoners?"

Bao Luot subconsciously glanced at the captives, and found that the group of people really looked okay, and there were no signs of abuse or whipping on their bodies.

So he sincerely sighed:
"Thank you, Fourth Young Master, for your kindness."

Beside him, Li Mulan snorted coldly:
"My Li family has a ancestral motto: Whenever there is a war, everyone must be killed and no prisoners will be kept!"

"With five thousand captives, the daily consumption of food and grass is an exaggerated amount, not to mention the need to guard against rebellion and commotion day and night, it is better to kill them all to save worry."

"On this point, the fourth son is not as good as the second son. If it is the second son who is decisive and decisive, I am afraid that after the battle of Heishui Lake, all the five thousand prisoners will sink into the lake!"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Yu An and the others, but also Bao Luote and Bao Luo High Priest couldn't hide their dissatisfaction.

2000 of the [-] captives are members of the Bao Luo family. You killed them all at the slightest word, did you put the two of us in your eyes?

But before a few people could express their opinions, the curtain of a tent in front of them was lifted.

next moment.

Several people came out of it.

The leader is a man in a white robe holding a sword, and there is a woman with her arms around each other.

It was Jiang Qingyu.

"This one is General Li Mulan, the granddaughter of General Li Han, right?"

"Sure enough, just like my third sister, women don't give way to men."

Jiang Qingyu looked at the other party with a smile, and after catching a glimpse of that face that was enough to charm a city, a flash of amazement flashed in her eyes.

In terms of appearance, this women's single is better than Luqi and Duyou.

It's just that the expression is too cold to be close to.

As for Li Mulan...

At the first sight of seeing Jiang Qingyu hugging left and right, a trace of disgust flashed across his face, and he subconsciously cursed in a low voice:
"Dude!"

At this moment, she really felt worthless for the maid Xue Ying mentioned who sneaked into Beidi.

For this man, that little maid used Huamanlou's influence, pretending to be the little princess of Helian's family to help him take down half of Beidi, and even used the excuse of a war to protect him and all his subordinates. Flirt with other women while fighting!
Shamelessly obscene!
If the generals of the Li family had changed, she would have rushed up to reprimand her face and broke her three legs a long time ago!

She raised her chin and snorted coldly:
"I'm Li Mulan! Dare I ask you, do you disagree with what I just said?"

Jiang Qingyu's eyes were teasing:
"Yes, yes."

"But my son has never liked to bully women, especially beautiful... and ignorant women."

"you……"

Li Mulan looked sullen:
"I can tell, you're calling me ignorant!"

"Then you should tell me what I said is wrong!"

"If you can't tell, I, I..."

She gave Luqi and the second daughter Duyou a hard look, and added:
"I will kidnap your two beautiful maids and let you sleep alone at night!"

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Qi and Du You suddenly laughed beautifully, and lightly pressed their whole bodies on Jiang Qingyu's body.

"My lord, you must speak convincingly. The slaves are afraid and don't want to be taken away."

"It's the same with the servant girl. The servant girl still wants to sleep with the young master tonight!"

These ambiguous words can't help but make people's imagination run wild, and it also aggravates Li Mulan's stereotype of Jiang Qingyu.

Even the two Haoyue Realms including Luo Shi looked at Jiang Qingyu with a bit of a strange look.

Only Yu An and the others who knew the inside story couldn't help laughing.

They really understand that although their young master is taking advantage of everything, he hasn't really touched any women along the way, and even when he sleeps at night, he will ask someone to guard the door of the tent to prevent Luqi and Duyou's second daughter from coming to eat in the middle of the night. own.

As for Jiang Qingyu...

But he patted the second daughter's hand lightly, and scolded with a smile:
"Think beautifully!"

The next moment, he suppressed his smile and looked at Li Mulan:

"General Li thinks that the second brother would kill five thousand prisoners, and you also support this approach, don't you?"

Li Mulan snorted coldly:

"Yes!"

Jiang Qingyu chuckled lightly:
"That's a bad word."

"Not to mention that my second brother may not necessarily win against Tuoba Yu and Golden Eagle Cavalry. He captured 5000 people in World War I. Even if he did, he wouldn't be so stupid as to kill all the prisoners!"

"Heishui Lake is located in the hinterland of Beidi, five or six hundred miles away from the border. If there are no five thousand captives as a life-saving token, how can I and my subordinates go back safely?"

"Slaughtering all the captives will definitely arouse the anger of the Beidi clan. At that time, hundreds of tribes will flock to them. How can I deal with this little man?"

"My lord knows that not only would you rather die than submit to the soldiers of your Li family, but you would also not accept the enemy's surrender, leave no one alive, and take no prisoners."

"But you know, if everyone is like your Li family, then what I bring back from Beidi this time will not be [-] living Chu soldiers, but [-] dead bones!"

The voice fell.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded from all directions.

Li Mulan looked over after hearing the reputation.

I saw a group of soldiers coming out of the tent and approaching Jiang Qingyu.

This is a group of Chu soldiers, but they are all thin and thin. They are not wearing the standard armor of the Anbei Army, but Beidi's fur or leather armor, with various colors and styles.

And the weapons they held in their hands made people laugh even more, either they were scimitars specially used by the Di people, or pickaxes for mining, and some were even bare-handed.

It seems to be a motley army.

however……

Their eyes were full of fighting intent, like ferocious wolves, their eyes were a bit scary, but they coincided with each other, and when they looked at Jiang Qingyu, there was a trace of respect from the heart.

So Li Mulan understood.

The leader of this pack of wolves is none other than Jiang Qingyu, whom he regards as a dandy.

While waving, Jiang Qingyu told everyone to go back to the tent to avoid the rain, and introduced to Li Mulan:

"You should have guessed that they were also prisoners."

"But not anymore."

"My son promised to take them home safely."

"you……"

Li Mulan opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

It wasn't until this moment that she admitted that the person in front of her was indeed a man with outstanding personal charm, as her master Xue Ying said.

And it's not just a dandy who depends on luck!

In an instant, the way Li Mulan looked at Jiang Qingyu gradually changed. It was no longer full of disdain as before, but a little more appreciative.

But far from admiration.

Jiang Qingyu was still waving at the soldiers, not aware of this change in Li Mulan.

He just said to himself:

"Actually, whether to kill the captives or not, there is a certain reason."

"But right now, killing [-] captives is equivalent to cutting off this group of people, even my son and everyone's way home."

"So, I chose not to kill."

"not to mention……"

"Beidi is unified and merged into Chu State. This is the general trend. If we don't kill [-] captives today, maybe in half a month we will have [-] more friendly troops."

"What do you mean, including the leader?"

Jiang Qingyu turned her head and looked at Bao Luote with a smile.

But inadvertently met Li Mulan's admiring eyes.

This made him very puzzled.

This little girl, her attitude has changed too quickly, right?
"Humph!"

Li Mulan snorted coldly, his eyes dodged.

at this time.

After hearing Jiang Qingyu's words, Bao Luot didn't know whether it was true or false, and there was a strong and undisguised admiration on his face:

"Young Master Jiang is far-sighted, it is convincing!"

When he spoke, a trace of determination flashed across his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

The next moment, under the incredible eyes of everyone, this man who is one of the leaders of the Eight Great Tribes put down his arrogance, knelt down on one knee towards Jiang Qingyu, and solemnly promised:
"From now on, Bao Luoshi is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for the young master!"

"..."

Jiang Qingyu frowned deeply and didn't agree immediately.

Tsk, does this old fox actually want to express his loyalty and win trust in this way, so that this son will agree to support Bao Luoshi to become the royal court?
Really treacherous!

"My lord, please accept Bao Luo's surrender!"

Bao Luot bowed his head slightly, with a respectful attitude.

But Jiang Qingyu remained silent.

This made him feel a little uneasy.

Could it be...

Is it my lack of sincerity?

But just when he was about to speak again to express his sincerity, a cold voice came from the tent behind Jiang Qingyu:

"Borot, you are one step late."

"Not long ago, Brother Wu Tuo and I surrendered to the Young Master, so..."

"I'm sorry, my lord will of course accept your surrender, but there is no room for you in this tent."
