Therefore, he did not dare to distribute them easily. When he learned that Liu Gong was angry, he sold his property and collected the rewards. In addition to the rewards, he also gave the general two sharp swords, ten strong bows, three precious horses, and four fine chariots.

"

The others also saluted one after another, until the last person, the man said: "General, I am sent by Dugu Gong. The soldiers Dugu Gong used this time are Youyan soldiers, not your army, but he admires you.

For a long time, I was worried that I might have offended you in Erhe River, so I sent you a gift to show my closeness."

Everyone told the story one by one, with sincere expressions and humble words.

Potaro Ku and Yao Xiong looked at each other. Potaro Ku was a little proud, as if to say, look, I said it right, right?

Although Yao Xiong was a little confused, he was still very happy and seemed to feel that he had made a fortune this time.

After they finished speaking, Tian Zili hurriedly walked out and stood in front of them. He smiled and said: "Everyone, my general has just returned from the Dong'an Prince's Mansion. He is still tired. Please allow him to rest for some time before welcoming him again."

Gentlemen, how are you doing?"

The envoy was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground, "Mr. Liu!! When I set out, my master told me that you must accept it. If you don't accept it, what will I do when I go back? I am willing to die on my knees.

In front of Mr. Liu!!"

The other people knelt down one after another.

Tian Zili still had a smile on his face, "Have you ever said that you won't accept it? Aren't you all willing to let my lord rest for a while?"

They looked at each other for a few times, then stood up and reluctantly left the official office.

Tian Zili personally sent them to the door, arranged for someone to take care of them, and then returned to Liu Taozi.

Yao Xiong laughed loudly at this moment, "Brother, I thought he was some tough Xianbei, but this is the case. The county princes that brother killed before must have frightened them!"

Tian Zili ignored this guy, walked quickly to Liu Taozi, frowned, "Brother, there is a trick."

"oh?"

Yao Xiong stopped talking at this moment and just looked at Tian Zili in shock.

Tian Zili said seriously: "Brother, I don't need to tell you how powerful these nobles are. You know very well that in these days, I don't know how many people have come here. How come the people under our command suddenly changed their attitude?

Xingzi, what kind of reward can you give me for coming here? Besides, there are those who have not led our frontier soldiers on expeditions, so they all want to send gifts. If things are abnormal, there must be fraud!"

"Perhaps the Queen Mother came forward? The Queen Mother even gave her brother a dagger. They must be afraid of the Queen Mother!"

"Impossible. If the Queen Mother came forward, they would not be embarrassed at most. How could they take the initiative to give gifts?"

Liu Taozi asked: "Then what do you think you want to do?"

Tian Zili frowned, "I don't quite understand. Maybe I want to trick my brother and let him relax his vigilance, or maybe I want to flatter my brother and make more nobles hate my brother. Now, those nobles who hate my brother

, most of them are second-generation Qihu, and there are also many nobles who are good friends with their elder brothers. I can't tell them their specific thoughts, but you can get the rewards that you should get, but the extra gifts, in the end,

It’s better to retreat.”

Yao Xiong hurriedly said: "Why did you retreat? I just saw it when I passed by, and they are all good things. Those horses are not inferior to the blue lions. If I can get one, I will die."

regret!"

"There are also those carts of silk cloth. If they were used to make clothes, I don't know how many people could survive the winter!"

Tian Zili glared at him, "Short-sighted!"

"They sent these just to lure the lord and force him to take it."

"Although I still don't know their intentions, if my brother accepts them, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"

At this moment, someone suddenly opened the door, gasped, and broke into the house.

The person who came was none other than Cui Gang.

Cui Gang quickly saluted Liu Taozi.

Tian Zili was a little surprised, "Cui Jun? Aren't you outside registering military merit?"

Cui Gang looked at Liu Taozi, "Brother! I heard that an honorable person came to give a gift, so I hurried here! This thing must not be accepted!!"

Tian Zili nodded, "That's what I just said."

Cui Gang said hurriedly: "Brother, this is a trap for those villains."

"They have no reason to attack my brother, so they want to use this method to slander him. Today my brother accepted the gift, and tomorrow they will cry to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and everyone else, saying that my brother extorted nobles, insulted the people, and demanded property.

!!”

"Firstly, I will ruin my brother's reputation, and secondly, I will recruit the rest of the people to deal with my brother!"

"These villains are really vicious and hateful!!"

Cui Gang's face turned red and his eyes were full of anger.

Since following Liu Taozi, he has done many useful things. He helped resettle many civilians in the frontier fortress, letting them find places to live and distributing food to them.

Many villages and towns have appeared in the frontier fortress, and the situation of the civilians has greatly improved. Although people die every day, the frequency is finally no longer as exaggerated as before.

When he rode through those villages and towns, people often stopped by the roadside to thank him.

They rectified the border soldiers together, and the entire county was in awe. There were no more soldiers and bandits going around plundering and killing people. Whenever he thought of this, Cui Gang was full of energy.

But when he learned that a distinguished person had sent a large number of gifts, causing an uproar, Cui Gang became extremely angry.

Do these thieves hate us so much?

At this moment, his face was red and he felt like his whole body was burning. He was trembling and suddenly cursed: "Fuck you."

Yao Xiong was shocked.

stunned.

Tian Zili was silent for a long time.

Liu Taozi looked at the extremely angry Cui Gang, smiled suddenly, and looked to the left and right, "Did Mr. Cui just curse?"

Everyone laughed immediately.

Liu Taozi then said: "It is enough for a gentleman to curse loudly, which is enough for everyone to know the character of these traitors."

He looked at Cui Gang and said, "But Mr. Cui, if I don't accept these gifts, won't they do this?"

"They are the most powerful among the government and the public, and they are the most powerful everywhere."

"Even if I didn't accept it and only took the reward, they would still do the same thing."

"As for the evidence, I am working in Daqi, so I have never seen any evidence."

When Liu Taozi spoke like this, Tian Zili suddenly murmured: "Brother, what you mean is"

"Collect them all, seize their carriages, horses and slaves for transporting supplies, beat their envoys ten times, and let them go back and tell their lord that these gifts are too few. They really look down on me. If you don't want to die, let them go."

They sent some more."

"ah??"

Everyone was shocked.

Cui Gang said blankly: "Brother, isn't this just giving someone a handle?"

"If your Majesty believes in me, other people's words cannot change him. If your Majesty does not believe me, I can't prove my innocence even if I don't take anything."

"Therefore, whatever the handle is, just give it to them. Use the things they give to reward the soldiers and settle the civilians. If they feel something is wrong, just let them come to Wuchuan to question the crime."
