Realm of Power

"Sir, look at how these prisoners should be placed after they come back. In terms of status, they are all important figures in Kyoto and the north. In terms of status, there are big figures like Duke Jones. If they are arranged according to their levels, these 156 high-level The nobles are satisfied, this is a big expense for us Samours, The Kugits can treat them according to the normal treatment of captives. If we follow the same standards as the Kugits, not only will it damage your reputation, but once the war subsides, these powerful figures with real power will return to the capital or themselves. I’m afraid the northern territory will do something unfavorable to you in the future!”

The treasurer Statunko behind Du Yu had a sad face. This former knight who was driven back to his hometown by the northern lords due to war injuries has always been resistant to these northern lords and was also opposed to the decision to exchange prisoners this time. Opinion

"Haha, what's so difficult about this? Am I not the city lord of Zhivadin City? Place all these big spenders in Zhivadin City and let these big people who are used to the prosperity of the north see what they can. It’s called Baili Changhong Street, and it never sleeps or lights up.

With the spending support of these adults, it is difficult for my city of Zhivadin to prosper. As for the problem of money, it is easier to handle. They have no money but their family has money. If he asks us for money, we will ask them. Your family wants money. If you don't have the money, you can't blame us, Samoers. You can only blame your family for refusing to give money!

Anyway, we are just an intermediary, so naturally we have to charge a part of the handling fee! The more they spend, the more we take. Why are we afraid that they will spend their money? Not only do we want them to spend money, but we also encourage them to spend extravagantly.”

The fat man responded disapprovingly, retracted his neck that had been stretching to look into the distance, and muttered "tsk, tsk\

,""What kind of aristocrat is this? It's basically the Beggar Gang who is alive and Hong Qigong is reborn! Who is the old man running at the front?"

On the road ahead, I saw a group of ragged beggars, escorted by hundreds of soldiers, pushing each other and stumbling towards the Samoer Fortress.

The person running at the front was a stubborn old man with white hair and beard.

He is tall and tall, and his feet are as fast as flying. His energy is not matched by his age, and he throws away the young people behind him.

He was also dressed in the best clothes. The Kugits actually allowed him to wear his old mail armor, which had become tattered and had fallen off its buttons.

Although the nobles behind have been pushing each other to occupy a good position that can reflect their status,

But no one could run forward and surpass him,

Because he is the Grand Duke Jones, one of the three Dukes responsible for guarding the northern border.

Head of the Jones family in the north,

The commander of the famous Yu Yehua Legion in the north,

A truly strong man who was promoted to the Silver Knight at the age of twenty-six

In order to encircle and annihilate the tenacious Yuyehua Legion led by the Silver Knight, the Kugits mobilized 10,000 cavalry and pursued them for nearly a month. The two sides clashed more than ten times. Under his leadership, he could always find a chance to escape from the encirclement of the Kugits.

Finally, the angry King Kugit Khan issued a strict order, and the three troops going south surrounded him at the same time. Only then did they surround the old fox with only 200 guards left in the flat central area of ​​Thassaris.

This stubborn old man was shot in the thigh by a Kugit hunter while leading his army to escape, causing poisoning and inflammation. One of his thighs was as thick as a bucket and it was difficult to move. The Kugit man was already in a deep coma when he rushed into the military camp. The Gith were captured alive,

Otherwise, according to the nature of the stubborn old man, he will definitely draw his sword and fight until death.

This time when Du Yu and Sceris were bargaining for the prisoners, all the other prisoners were easy to talk to. Only the price of Duke Jones could not be negotiated. The fat man actually respected this brave old man.

The proposed price of 50,000 shi of grain was rejected by Scelis. In the end, the price was raised to 100,000 shi of grain before Scelis reluctantly agreed. It can be said that old man Jones alone accounted for 60% of the entire ransom. one part.

But strangely enough, this stubborn old man became much more honest after being captured alive by the Kugits. He just lay in the corner of the tent to recuperate, ignoring the Kugits, and occasionally said something "big to him". A foul language that is unbecoming of a duke.

Unlike other prisoners who nod and bow in fear when they see the Kugit guards, they look like slaves.

That posture was more like a wounded tiger hiding in the corner licking its wounds.

Because his body was inflamed and weak, the Kugit people who respected heroes always treated him the best among them.

There is meat for every meal and wine for every meal

Although this made other prisoners who ate coarse grains every day jealous, no one dared to stand up and gnaw.

The skeleton of a dead tiger is still there, but the old man is even more powerful.

Since this group of nobles will be captured alive by the Kugits, they are naturally not heroic and fearless characters who will fight to the death.

Most of the captives had this idea of ​​being left to eat and wait to die, or be ransomed by their families.

This time, the kingdom and the Kugits negotiated in the royal capital, Klesto.

Let all the captives see and be born with hope

I thought that no one would want to provoke this stubborn old man who might be beheaded by the enraged Kugits at any time because of the breakdown of negotiations.

As the war continues, the battle ahead has always affected the hearts of these prisoners.

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye,

The prisoners found it difficult not to go home, but to eat and wait to die.

In the past month, the captives have discovered that the food provided by the Kugits is getting worse and worse. In the past, they could occasionally see a few pieces of fat mutton, but now they can only get a little bit of boiled animal skin with puncture marks on it every day. The black animal hair is very painful for these gentlemen who are used to fine food and clothing. In the past, they could barely cope with coarse food.

Now no one can eat the animal skin with fur on it. Some of them tried to put the furry animal skin in their mouths and chewed it a few times, and their faces immediately became particularly ugly.

An unpleasant smell of wild beasts rushed straight into the nose, and there was a surge in the throat. The dazzling black furry animal skin was vomited to the ground together with the light yellow gastric juice.

This is so fucking disgusting, I didn’t even wash the animal skin, I just put it in the pot and boiled it.

But such disgusting food has not been available in the past ten days. Originally, one meal a day has been changed to one meal every three days.

And the raw animal skins that were given out were still bloodshot.

Now when I see a mouse running past, there are a bunch of hungry nobles chasing after it. The numerous cockroaches, crickets and other small reptiles in the past have long since disappeared.

Even the stubborn old man’s food was not good. The meat was gone, and the wine was gone. I don’t know what happened a few days ago, but he was given a piece of steaming horse meat, which was about the size of your palm. You can put it in a mouthful. In a big bowl

This made the hungry and red-eyed nobles go crazy. As soon as the Kugit man who delivered the meat left, there was a commotion inside. A group of people, like mad dogs, with red eyes, surrounded the corner where the old man was lying.

In this battle to defend the horse meat, the strength of the old man Yinhui was well proved.

1v155?

Wrong, the old man is not that stupid. After all, he is an old fox who once led an army to deal with the Kujit cavalry for more than a month.

"Public anger is hard to offend, even the best masters are afraid of the chopping gang!"

The old man made a quick decision and threw the horse meat he had just chewed into the air, jumped up and ran outside the tent.

That force is so sharp that it looks like an old man with pus and blood flowing from his leg.

The remaining nobles looked at each other and looked at the steaming horse meat rotating 720 degrees in mid-air. "The temptation is irresistible. The charm at that moment is endless."

Fight! This is what everyone thinks

All the people in the tent, regardless of their status, danced and kicked each other like rough farmers in the countryside for this piece of horse meat that was about to fall.
