Battle of the Other Worlds: Summon the Traveler Wu Song at the Beginning

The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and the leader whispered to his men, "Keep an eye on them, I'll report to the governor." The leading lieutenant ran towards the prefecture with a serious look. Twenty or thirty soldiers rushed up and surrounded the two brothers with a fierce look. "Sir, the Qin army sent someone to deliver a letter. The messenger said that King Qing is in their hands."

Wu Guan stood up suddenly: "Bring the person in quickly!"

The lieutenant went to get the person. Wu Guan couldn't help but think in his heart, what exactly does the Qin army want to do by delivering a letter at this time? King Qing is now in their hands. Could it be that they want some benefits by sending a letter?

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. King Qing should at least be safe now, and there is still room for things to turn around.

Soon, the two brothers Wu Long and Wu Hu were brought to the hall. Wu Long strode forward, took out a letter, handed it to Wu Guan and said: "This letter is a handwritten letter from our Qin army leader, and he told us to hand it to the governor in person."

Wu Guan signaled the clerk beside him to take the letter and present it to him.

After a while, Wu Guan, who had finished reading the letter, was furious: "You bold traitor, dared to ask for 500 million taels of silver. Come, take this thief who delivered the letter and chop him off!"

Wu Guan was shocked and angry. Li Yichen first mentioned that Chen Qing was still alive, and then threatened the court simply and directly that if the Qin army did not give 500 million taels of silver to redeem Chen Qing, the Qin army would take Chen Qing's head and hang it outside the gate of Daqu County in a month.

When the many soldiers standing by heard the governor's order, they drew their swords and were about to subdue the two brothers.

Wu Long, however, remained calm and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Governor, you have to think it through. As the saying goes, when two armies are fighting, envoys should not be killed. If our two brothers lose their lives, your Prince Qing may not see the sun tomorrow."

Wu Hu also grinned and said: "Our two brothers' lives are insignificant. It is enough to exchange for the head of the dignified Prince Qing. However, if Prince Qing loses his head, I am afraid your Governor's head will also be moved."

While Wu Hu was speaking, he looked at Wu Guan with a provocative look.

At this time, Wu Guan calmed down. The current priority was to quickly resolve the matter and ensure the personal safety of Prince Qing.

"Stop!" In the end, reason overcame impulse, and Wu Guan raised his hand to stop the palace soldiers.

Li Yichen's offer of 500 million taels of silver was a bit too outrageous. Although one tael of silver in the Beiting Dynasty was equal to one hundred coins, which was not as valuable as in ancient China, the tax revenue of the entire Beiting for a year was only 6 billion taels.

In other words, Li Yichen asked for Beiting's tax revenue for a month. No wonder Wu Guan said that he was asking for too much. This was simply asking for too much.

In fact, in Wu Guan's heart, he was still inclined to try his best to solve the matter and calm the storm. Although he had to pay a price, it was better than losing his life.

But the amount Qin Jun wanted was too much. Not to mention that he was just Wu Guan, even if he sold all the property accumulated by the entire Wu family for many years, he might not be able to raise 500 million taels of silver.

"Five hundred million taels of silver is too huge, it's impossible. Although His Royal Highness Prince Qing has an extraordinary status, this is not a reason for your Qin army to ask for a sky-high price!"

Wu Long shook his head and said, "Our leader said that five hundred million taels of silver, not even one tael less, this is not a negotiation with you, but a notice for you to prepare the silver, understand?"

Wu Guan suppressed his anger and said, "Do you know what five hundred million taels of silver means? Even if I report it to the court, the emperor may not be willing to pay this sky-high ransom."

Wu Long shrugged indifferently and said, "This is your problem, sir, it is not within the scope of our Qin army's consideration. Instead of wasting time bargaining here, it is better to think about how to get enough silver."

These two small characters probably can't make the decision, and it is really unnecessary to waste words with them here.

"Come on, take these two messengers to the posthouse to rest." Wu Guan waved his hand impatiently.

The captain hurriedly led a group of palace soldiers and said to the two brothers: "Please come in!"

Wu Guan waved the captain to come to his side and whispered: "Keep a close eye on these two people. If you let them run away, I will take your head!"

The captain hurriedly nodded and turned around to take the palace soldiers to take the two Wu brothers to the posthouse in a semi-escorted form.

"After all these years, this is the first time I have lived in a state capital.

The inn is really comfortable. "After entering the room, Wu Hu lay on the bed heartlessly, glanced at the captain who brought the two people and said: "I say, you are so blind, don't you see that your two masters have not eaten a single grain of rice? Quickly arrange some food. By the way, there must be fish and meat, go quickly!"

The captain gritted his teeth and stared at Wu Hu and said: "You are just a rebellious bandit soldier, and you really think you are a big shot. Believe it or not, I will kill you now!"

Wu Hu walked in front of the captain like a rogue, stretched out his neck and said: "Come on, chop here, be quick and sharp, if you chop our two brothers, King Qing will die, Wu Guan will definitely chop you, and maybe your whole family will have to go to the underworld to accompany you. "

The lieutenant was furious, his hand holding the hilt of the knife was shaking violently, but he did not dare to move further. He knew in his heart that what Wu Hu said was true. If he killed King Qing, it would be a light punishment to kill all his clans.

Thinking of this, the lieutenant swallowed his anger and walked out the door, saying as he walked: "I will arrange for someone to deliver food. You'd better stay here, otherwise you will be killed!"

Wu Hu then lay back on the bed contentedly, and spitted: "What a coward."

Wu Long shook his head helplessly and said: "Can't you restrain yourself? If you act like this, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later. ”

When will my ignorant and foolish brother grow up?

In the prefecture, Wu Guan thought over and over again and finally decided that the matter should be reported to the court. He could not solve it at present and could only let the emperor know about it before making a decision.

But after submitting this memorial, his future would be bleak. He only hoped that the Wu family could save his life. He no longer expected an official position.

Soon, Wu Guan wrote the memorial and told his messenger to send it to the capital city in an expedited manner for 800 miles. He first sent it to the Wu family and then his brother Wu Si would deliver it to the emperor. Perhaps he could save himself. At the same time, he also sent a letter to Wu Si.

The messenger changed several horses at the official road post station along the way. He traveled day and night without daring to rest for a long time. Finally, he arrived in the capital city more than 3,000 miles away eight days later and delivered Wu Guan's memorial and letter to the head of the Wu family, Wu Si.
