Evil Doctor Princess - Chapter 266
Chapter 266 Passing by an Enemy General
The Elephant Head Symbol looked eerie and gloomy. Bai Junzhuo stared at it for a long time before suddenly thinking that the Southern Barbarian Kingdom seemed to be rich in elephants, right?
She thought that it was not good, so she hurriedly went back to call Yin Xun. Other people on the ship also found the big ship coming, so they went to call Yin Mu out as well.
Yin Mu and Yin Xun stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the ship. Yin Xun turned around and said, “Royal Brother, that elephant head symbol seems to belong to one of the Southern Barbarian King’s subordinates, a general named Meng Hei He.”
“Oh?” Yin Mu was a little surprised, “Ninth Brother also knows about the generals of Southern Barbarian Kingdom?”
Yin Xun explained, “This Meng Heihe is not only the general of the Southern Barbarian King, he is also the biggest official merchant of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom. Not long ago, he and the general of Wu Country took over a new trade route from me. I have investigated this matter, so I have some understanding of him.”
Yin Mu nodded and said, “Xiangyang hasn’t arrived yet. Is this still my territory?”
“Of course,” Yin Xun said, “this river runs all the way to Chaisang. It belongs to our Li Kingdom.”
Yin Mu raised his eyebrows and smiled, “This barbarian has lived enough?”
Yin Xun looked at him and said, “Royal Brother, should we warm up for a fight with him first?”
Yin Mu lowered his head and thought for a moment, but did not immediately reply.
Bai Junzhuo stood behind Yin Xun and listened to the two of them. When he heard Yin Xun say that he was going to fight, he reached out and pulled Yin Xun. “Zisu, come with your ears,” Bai Junzhuo said.
Yin Xun looked at her puzzledly and said, “If you have anything to say, just say it directly. This place is all ours.”
Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but secretly curse that he really didn’t recognize people’s expressions. Could it be that she didn’t want to show off too much in front of Yin Mu to quietly talk to him?
Yin Xun could not see what she was thinking, but Yin Mu could. He smiled and said, “If the Ninth Princess has anything to say, just say it. I won’t blame you for saying it wrongly.”
Bai Junzhuo rolled her eyes secretly. How could she be wrong? She won’t say anything wrong.
Bai Junzhuo complained in his heart. He deliberately made Yin Mu transparent and only said to Yin Xun, “Zisu, this person actually dares to openly sail his ship to our Li Kingdom. He either has an internal subordinate or some trump card in the Li Kingdom. He is not afraid that the people of the Li Kingdom will discover him. Therefore, if you go over and fight him directly, you will inevitably suffer a loss.”
Yin Xun thought about it carefully and nodded, “You’re right, but now that we’ve discovered them, they must have discovered us too. If we take a detour, we probably won’t be able to escape in time. Furthermore, we’ve already seen each other, so there’s no reason for us to escape.”
“We definitely can’t escape. If news of it were to spread out, it would still kill our army.” Bai Junzhuo thought for a moment and said, “They probably don’t know that our ship is full of generals who are going to fight in the past. They will think that we are ordinary merchant ships.”
“So what? What can I do with this?” Yin Musha looked at her with interest.
“You said that this ship belonged to a general under the Southern Barbarian King. I wonder if that general is on board.” Bai Junzhuo only looked at Yin Xun and said, “If we are here, we can capture that general alive. If we start a war in the future, it might come in handy.”
“Are you saying that when they get close, we’ll send people to sneak into their ship?” Yin Xun asked her.
Bai Junzhuo nodded and said, “You can also invite that general to our ship. Didn’t you say that? They will probably think that we are ordinary merchant ships, so they won’t be wary.”
Yin Xun thought for a moment, then turned around and asked Yin Mu, “What does Royal Brother think?”
Yin Mu gently nodded and said, “Do as she says.”
Thus, as they sailed towards Meng Hei He’s boat, they secretly deployed flame cannons. If they fought, they wouldn’t be powerless to retaliate.
When the two ships met, more than a hundred people suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the ship. They were all standing on the deck. A fat man estimated to be over two hundred jin walked slowly from behind the crowd to the front. Immediately, someone moved a large chair the size of a king to sit down for him.
The man sat down, and Bai Junzhuo felt as if the other party’s ship was trembling.
Are the upper echelons of the Southern Barbarians rich in fatties? From the Prince of Southern Barbarians to this Southern Barbarian general, they were getting fatter and fatter.
Beside the fat man stood a thin man with a two-curled beard. The thin man cleared his throat and shouted at the boat on their side, “Who is that person opposite?”
Bai Junzhuo couldn’t help but snort coldly. No matter what trump card he had, he still dared to show off in other people’s territory. He looked like an idiot who took a minute to get lunch.
Yin Mu turned around and called Chen He over. Chen He’s voice was loud. He stood at the bow of the ship and shouted to them, “Before asking who others are, you must first state your names! Who are you?”
The fat man was still like a pool of chocolate cream. The skinny man was unwilling for now. He pinched his waist and pointed at them. “You don’t even know our famous Great General of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, Lord Meng? How did you get along?” He said.
Chen He said, “This is the river of the Li Kingdom. Why do we need to know the Great General of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom when we are sailing on the river of the Li Kingdom?”
“Hey, you bunch of little bastards who don’t know what’s good for you! Someone, shoot the arrow!” The skinny man shouted again, pinching his throat.
The hundreds of people standing behind the fatty took out their bows and arrows and aimed them at the boat. Yin Mu also raised his hand. The soldiers who had been prepared on the boat raised their torches.
The Southern Barbarian was only a short distance away from the weapon. The fat man who was sitting watching the show saw it and hurriedly waved his hand. He spoke a few words of Southern Barbarian to the person behind him. The thin man shouted in Li Country’s language for him, “Great General said, put down your weapon and speak properly!”
After saying that, he smiled and said to Yin Mu, “Misunderstanding, put down your weapons. Let’s talk properly, talk properly.”
Yin Mu gently waved his hand and everyone put away their weapons.
Bai Jun pulled on Rain Xun’s sleeve and said to him, “Zisu, you see that thin man always speaks to the people behind him in the Li language. Most of the people on that ship are probably Li people, right?”
Yin Xun frowned slightly and said, “Why did the people of the Li Kingdom get on the ship of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom?”
“Either I give you some benefits or I’m forced to do something helpless.” “Since that’s the case, we can use them to capture Meng Hei He alive, especially the skinny man who seems to be a small leader,” Bai Junzhuo said.
Yin Xun asked her, “Then what should we do?”
Bai Junzhuo said, “Luring that skinny man onto our ship, coercion and temptation. In any case, he is the key.”
As Yin Mu listened to Bai Junzhuo’s words from the side, he already had some attention in his heart and said to Chen He. Chen He shouted, “Whether this river belongs to the Li Kingdom or not, now that your family’s general is on this river, we have to mean it. In the future, when we do business in the Southern Barbarians, we still need to rely on the general to take care of them.”
The thin man translated Chen He’s words into Meng Heihe’s ears. Meng Heihe immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes before nodding.
The skinny man shouted, “Consider yourself sensible. You only need to give our general a thousand silver taels now. In the future, when we arrive in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom, our general will definitely take care of your business.”
“Thank you for your kindness, General!” Chen He cupped his fists and said. After he finished speaking, someone carried two boxes of silver. He opened the lid of the box and showed it to the other party. Everyone’s eyes lit up, especially Meng Hei He.
Actually, after all, when the Great General of the Southern Barbarian Kingdom saw the thousand taels of silver in this state, the fundamental reason was that the Southern Barbarian Kingdom’s economy was not comparable to the Li Kingdom’s after all. Even if they relied on Wu Country’s help and forced Li Country to retreat in the battle of the Southern Border, they would inevitably end up being annexed by Wu Country in the end.
The skinny man sent a few people to Yin Mu’s boat to move it, but he had no intention of coming up. Seeing this, Bai Junzhuo waved to the skinny man and said, “Big brother, come over as well. We still have some things for you.”
Seeing her say that, Yin Xun whispered, “You’re obviously lying to him. Will he fall for it?”
Just as he finished asking, the thin man walked over from the wooden board with a smile on his face.
Bai Junzhuo blinked at Yin Xun and whispered, “Do you know people by their looks? This skinny man seems to be greedy and afraid of death. He is also a small leader. He must think that I really want to please him.”
The skinny man got on the boat and rubbed his hands. “You’re a young girl who knows how to recognize people. Let me tell you, our general doesn’t understand the language of the Kingdom of Li. It’s all up to me to tell him what I’m saying. Coaxing him is the next best thing. Coaxing me is the most important thing. Only then can I decide whether you can live well in the Southern Barbarian Kingdom.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Bai Junzhuo nodded and approached him. He took out the dagger from his sleeve and pressed it against his waist. “Then what if I kill you?”
The people on this boat immediately surrounded the skinny man so that the other boat wouldn’t see anything wrong.
Only then did the skinny man realize that he had been tricked. He sweated profusely and said to Bai Junzhuo, “Female heroine, please spare my life. I, I, and I will definitely say more nice things about you in front of the general in the future!”
Bai Junzhuo snorted coldly, “Li Guo speaks quite well. From the accent, you must be from Xiangyang, right?”
The thin man nodded repeatedly and asked Bai Junzhuo, “So is the heroine?”
“It’s your uncle!” The dagger in Bai Junzhuo’s hand approached another inch, and he said, “Good Li, why are you helping the Southern Barbarian generals to act tyrannically on the Li River and commit evil deeds?”
The skinny man stammered, “I, I, I, and I were also forced to do nothing. I have elders and subordinates. Xiangyang is far away from Chang’an, and the Emperor doesn’t care about me. I found the Southern Barbarian General who is closer to Xiangyang City to be my backer. I beg the heroine to show kindness and spare me!”
Yin Mu smiled and said, “In that case, the reason why you colluded with this Southern Barbarian general is because I didn’t take good care of you?”
“Zhen …?” The skinny man was shocked, and his eyeballs were about to fall off. He looked at Yin Mu and said, “You, you, you are the Emperor?”
Yin Mu nodded and went over to press his head, saying, “There is no benefit for me to kill you. There is no need for you to be so afraid. I want to capture the fatty alive now. Please do me a favor.”
The skinny man knelt down and said, “Serving His Majesty is a blessing that the grass-roots people have cultivated for several lifetimes. His Majesty will do whatever he says!”
