Chapter 1650 Rise (12)

"My lord, the Kazakhs outside the city sent three envoys, asking to see the commander of the Southern Legion!"

Zhao Hu's eyes turned green when he looked at Tielong, and Mengda and Starn, who were sitting on both sides, also had eyes bulging like toads, with their mouths wide open, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Woman? A beautiful woman, a stunning beauty, like a fish and a wild goose, the fragrance of warm jade, and her long legs are so attractive!" Zhao Hu stared at the Kazakh woman who led the way in, and his mouth almost drooled.

"Tata!" A beautiful woman nearly 1.7 meters tall strode into the hall with two tall Kazakh guards in heavy armor.

"Kazakh men are not good, but this woman is really nice! She is proud, tender, pretty, wild, and sexy enough." This was the first time Zhao Hu saw what a Kazakh woman looked like.Under the white fox velvet hat is a pretty face of a young girl full of wildness, with exquisite features and a small upturned nose, which shows that the girl is an arrogant person.

A pair of beautiful big eyes flashed the sky-like spirituality of the prairie people, and a thick white leather jacket wrapped on his body was covered with an exquisite half-body red scale armor. The two raised points looked at Zhao Hu's infinite reverie.

A belt inlaid with gorgeous sapphires outlines a small waist that can't be grasped, the hem of the red scales outlines an attractive arc, and the two explosive long legs almost fail to catch Zhao Hu's eyes. The eye sockets are bulging, pretty and wild with a heroic spirit, making her look even more heroic and charming.

Finally, Zhao Hu's eyes fixed on a luxurious sapphire waist knife on the girl's waist: "This knife looks familiar! Where have I seen it?"

Zhao Hu stroked his fat chin playfully, his face suddenly changed, and his lustful heart, which was throbbing just now, was poured with cold water.

Isn't this the command knife of the Kazakh prince that I captured!It is exactly the same as the waist knife of this Kazakh woman, do they have some ulterior relationship?Do the Kazakhs know that they killed that son of a bullshit eagle?Now come and play with yourself.

"Dear Iron Tower Fortress Commander, I am Alice from the Kazakh Prairie. On behalf of the great King of Kings, the King of the Kazakh Prairie, and the King of Beiluo Lake, I am here to negotiate with you on the issue of captives!"

The beautiful Alice saw the wretched Zhao Hu on the seat, and couldn't help but frowned her beautiful eyebrows in disgust. Thinking of the great responsibility she shouldered, she had to suppress the anger in her heart, and bowed to Zhao Hu on the seat, her voice It was as crisp as the Beiling bird in the mountain stream, and Zhao Hu felt itchy in his heart when he heard it.

"Captives? Is there a prisoner in the hands of the Kazakhs? Why don't I know."

Zhao Hu looked at the three heavenly kings under him with puzzled eyes, blinked his small eyes on his seat, and counted secretly in his heart, Tielong, Mengda, and Starn.

That's right, no more, no less, the three brothers are all there, and each of them has the same inexplicable expression as himself, only that damned Tie Long seems to have guessed something, and he returns to him with a meaningful look, and Zhao Tiger that depressed.

"Where did I get the captives? What the hell are the Kazakhs doing?" Zhao Hu muttered to himself, looking at Alice below with a puzzled face.

"Respected commander, our great Kazakh Khan is willing to allow you to exchange food for the spoils we captured in accordance with the tradition of your Roman Empire knights. This is the list of nobles we captured."

The beautiful Kazakh girl Alice saw the perplexed dead Zhao Hu on the seat, handed the document in her hand to the guard next to her and continued.

"Nobles? Captives? Don't mind me! It's best to die, a bunch of moths who eat and don't work." This was Zhao Hu's first thought when he opened the list of prisoners submitted by the guards.
"These guys are quite fat, this is a good deal." This was the second thought that came to Zhao Hu's mind.

Because Zhao Hu saw an acquaintance inside at a glance, Baron Liu Fei, one of the heads of Liuyu, the largest smuggling chamber of commerce in the north.

The unlucky Liu Fei was also arrested by the Kazakhs and placed on the fourth side of the thick list. It seems that the Kazakhs have high hopes for him.

No wonder the 26 gold coins that he promised to buy his own porcelain never arrived. He was brutally slaughtered by himself in the south, and was caught by the Kazakhs when he went back. This guy was unlucky last year.

Zhao Hu took a closer look. There are 160 nobles on the list, including almost all families in the north. The largest is a grand duke of the Hans family, and the youngest is a viscount with a fief. All of them must be redeemed. Fearing that it would be impossible without millions of shi of grain, Zhao Hu thought to himself that it was too uneconomical to spend millions of grains in exchange for a bunch of masters. "

It seems that the Kazakhs are good to these people. They are still feeding them with good food and drink under the situation of food shortage. They are going to wait for the truce to exchange money with the empire. Who knows that this war will last for half a year. People can't stand it.

"What do these people have to do with me? Why do I have to exchange food for them? The defeated generals, our great emperor is very kind if he doesn't kill them. If you like to raise these moths, you can raise them. The years of war and chaos , who cares about these things, even if it is a landlord, the landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food these days."

Zhao Hu waved his hand generously. Although he was a little moved, he still put on a heartless and indifferent expression. The way of negotiation is the most important thing. The more you want to show the more you don't care, you can see it The Kazakhs are also anxious, otherwise they would not have sent someone to negotiate with the commander of their small fortress before the truce.

Anyway, it's not a day or two since these nobles were captured by the Kazakhs. They eat and drink from the Kazakhs.

"This is too shameless!" The Kazakh girl Alice did not expect such a sentence to come out of the mouth of a Roman Empire commander. She is even more bachelor than her own Kazakhs, and she still raises these nobles anyway. .

This Zhao Hu directly wanted to execute these nobles, there was a bit of the style of the knights of the Roman Empire who cherished their reputation very much in the past.

"They are all nobles of your Roman Empire! Isn't it the tradition of your Roman Empire to redeem the nobles of your own country?" Alice, a Kazakh girl, was in a hurry, and the arrogance on her face dissipated invisible.

"Nobles? What are nobles! They are moths of the empire, a bunch of lazy people who don't pay taxes, and a bunch of waste who do nothing but take off their pants and sleep with women!" Zhao Hu suddenly stood up from his seat and said sharply, completely ignoring the people sitting below. The third brother's face was full of embarrassment, and the Kazakh girl who was about to continue talking was scared and shut up.

"What should I do? Do you really want to attack this fortress?" Alice, a Kazakh girl, couldn't help but feel a sudden surprise. Just now, she followed the guards all the way in. Although it was dark and she couldn't see the whole picture of the castle fortress, some of the facilities she saw on the road still made her feel uncomfortable. Alice was heartbroken.

Especially the dozens of large iron pots standing on the city wall made Alice suspect that the commander here was a legendary wizard who spread the plague of death, and those dozen large iron pots were used to refine witchcraft.

"Actually, we can also talk calmly. I have what you want in my hands, and you also have what I want in your hands. Don't you have a lot of gold coins? That interests me more than nobles!"

Zhao Hu looked at the embarrassing scene below, the three heavenly kings under him were staring at him with resentment, and the Kazakh girl was also pale from being frightened by him, feeling that he had acted a little too much, and couldn't help another ass Sit in your seat.

The night is like water, unlike the atmosphere of the Kazakh camp camped outside the city, the night in the inner city of the iron tower fortress is very lively, the hustle and bustle can be heard even by the Kazakhs stationed outside the city. The red light confuses the Kazakhs even more.

The business area outside the barracks on the inner wall of the fortress is full of tents of all sizes. The vendors selling goods are comparable to an army of thousands of people. The business tents set up are like huge white umbrellas connected together. , The three large military camps in the castle were completely surrounded.

The vendors in the trade tents tried their best to wave all kinds of goods in their hands, and salivated to sell their goods, from weapons and equipment to all kinds of fruits, the tents behind them were almost full with the confronting goods.

On the left, there is a food street consisting of dozens of tents lined up for hundreds of meters. Piles of farmers and soldiers are happily colliding with each other with beer in their hands. More than a dozen gorgeous and charming dancers are dancing on the big round platform in the center of the tent. With the passionate thigh dance, the long white legs exposed under the gorgeous silk cloth attracted excited shouts and applause from the nearby drinking soldiers and peasants.

Behind the barracks is the blacksmith area. Hundreds of blacksmith shops are divided into three rows. The fire inside is brightly lit. The sound of beeping and tapping is like playing music. The clear and crisp sound of metal impact can be heard even in the night.

These are nearly a thousand blacksmiths summoned from the three territories. They are building the latest weapons and equipment day and night. The flatbed wagons that transport the ore continuously transport the dark iron ore from the gate of the castle, and then pass behind the barracks. The flat stone road carries into the blacksmith area.

The wide stone road can drive three carriages side by side at the same time, and piles of iron ore are unloaded from the flat carriages to form small black iron mountains.

These are high-quality iron ores transported from the iron mine ten miles away. Zhao Hu arranged for a thousand refugees to work there, and the villagers near the licensed iron mine can use one hundred horse-drawn carts to transport the ore to deduct this year's income. Tax.
