The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He had made a fortune!

But there was too much food for them to take away, so Guan Ning could only store the food and wait for a chance to send someone to take it later.

Afterwards, the four of them officially set off and began their return journey.

The big black dog was like a family member to Xiahou Qingyi, and was also taken away. It had terrifying physical strength and could easily keep up with the horse's sprint. It could also lead the way and detect danger, and was no worse than the military dogs of later generations.

If you take this back, it can be used to guard the house.

"..."

Time flies, and ten days later, we arrived at the gateway to Shu.

Wu Zhu and his men were standing on the shore, having been waiting for a long time, and their faces were not looking good.

"Clan leader Nie, where is Young Master Ning?"

"It's been so long, why haven't you shown up yet?!"

"General, you have shown all your sincerity, but there has been no follow-up on the matter of supervision. Could it be that you are trying to cheat?" He shouted coldly with dissatisfaction.

Nie Nan stood on the boat, smiling and bowing, "General Wu, don't worry. Young Master Ning is busy with this matter."

"The two-month period hasn't arrived yet, has it?"

Wu Zhu was furious when he heard this and stepped forward and yelled, "You said the same thing last time!"

"Don't talk to me about this. I must see Ning Fei come out and explain himself to me today. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The sound was shaking, and it was obvious that his patience had reached its limit.

After nearly a month of disappearance and perfunctory measures, nearly 100,000 kilograms of food and fodder have been paid to Shu, but there is not even a shadow of a able-bodied man on the Xiliang army's side.

Moreover, the entire Shu area seemed to have been under martial law, which made Wu Zhu very anxious and also made Helan Mountain behind him very dissatisfied.

Then, crash!

A large number of cavalrymen lined up on the shore outside the Sanjiang River, exerting murderous intent and pressure.

Suddenly, the situation that had calmed down for nearly two months became a crisis again.

The militiamen on several boats on the river were instantly tense and ready for battle.

"Clan leader, what should I do?"

"The Lord hasn't come back yet."

"The time for surrendering the person is approaching. If the lord does not show up, the other party will probably not let it go."

"That's right. This time they've even brought their army here. I'm afraid they won't be as easy to fool as they were the last two times."

The Shu government's top brass spoke one after another.

Nie Nan's brows were furrowed, his face was tense, and sweat was oozing from his palms. He had tried his best to delay time, but the people in Xiliang were not fools. If the situation was not right, they would not delay any longer.

"No matter what, we have to wait until the lord returns!"

He gritted his teeth, then stepped forward, walked to the railing and shouted: "Wu Zhu, the date has not arrived, Master Ning cannot see you."

"You have thousands of soldiers deployed now, aren't you afraid of damaging the relationship between the two families?"

"There are still five days left. When the day comes, 50,000 people will be sent out naturally!"

Wu Zhu sneered when he heard this: "Chief Nie, are you taking me for a fool?"

"Your Shu land has repeatedly refused entry to my Xiliang envoys and has sealed off the entire Shu land. The people who used to be able to move around are now nowhere to be seen!"

"If you don't let Ning Fei come out and give me an explanation today, don't blame me for taking action!"

"Everyone listen up, prepare to enter Shu!" he roared.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The four thousand cavalrymen shouted, like the roar of the raging sea, echoing endlessly. Waves of murderous aura rushed straight to the surface of the river, causing a large number of ripples on the river surface.

Nie Nan's face darkened completely. He couldn't even scare the other party. What should he do?

Where can I find someone now?

If 4,000 cavalrymen force their way into Shu, wouldn't everything be exposed?

The entire Shu government's top leadership was also in a state of panic. Without Guan Ning around, they didn't dare to make any decisions.

Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, the other party became suspicious and was ready to make a move. When no one knew what to do, suddenly, a loud shout resounded in all directions and echoed on the river.

"General Wu, you are so majestic!"

"Have you forgotten the agreement between me and General He?"

Swish swish!

Countless eyes looked over.

Nie Nan and others were excited, their eyes shining. They were very familiar with this voice. It had finally come after being longed for.

Wu Zhu and the others also looked over, their eyes fixed on the subject, and saw a galloping horse rushing out from the woods. The man on the horse had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he was tall and young, with an indescribably heroic appearance.

Facing four thousand cavalrymen, he showed no fear and rushed directly to their faces.

"Hey!!"

The horse raised its hooves, stirring up a lot of dust.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Wu Zhu and the others were stunned, but they said nothing. Their faces were gloomy and cold: "Master Ning, you are finally willing to show up!"

"Don't say such harsh words. I just have something to do. I'm not running away. Besides, the monk can run away, but the temple cannot. What are you afraid of?"

"I want to see General He from Helan Mountain, but it's impossible for me to see him anytime, right?" Guan Ning asked back, directly turning against Tiangang.

"You!!" Wu Zhu was choked and speechless. It was really not possible to see someone just because he wanted to.

And it is true that the monk can run away but the temple cannot.

"Humph!"

"Even so, shouldn't Master Ning give us an explanation? You and the general have reached an agreement, and it's time to fulfill it."

"Fifty thousand laborers, plus a statement from Shu!" Wu Zhu was very direct.

Guan Ning signaled Nie Nan and others on the river not to come over.

And then he said without changing his expression: "The date hasn't come yet!"

"Are these few days enough? Two months have almost passed, and the workers haven't been recruited yet?" Wu Zhu was dissatisfied and very angry, especially when he thought about how much food he had given but not even a single hair was collected. He felt unhappy.

Guan Ning said: "I'm sure all the moves are complete."

Wu Zhu's eyes lit up: "Where is that person?"

Guan Ning said calmly, "The person is in Bashan, but the time we agreed on is within two months, so he could have been handed over in the past two days."

"But Lord Wu, you brought thousands of people to intimidate the people of Shu. I am very unhappy about this!"

"You!" Wu Zhu was almost angry to death. Guan Ning did not have this attitude at the general's mansion at that time.

But as he thought about completing the task, he had no choice but to endure it.

"Master Ning, I was too impatient. I was afraid that the relationship between Xiliang and Shu would become unpleasant."

"If you're unhappy, I can set up a party of ten or eight tables later to make amends for you, but you have to give us the labor first. It doesn't matter if the announcement is delayed for a few days."

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Xiliang was really short of people, and the death rate in Tongguan was probably very high.

The more this happened, the less likely he would sacrifice the lives of the young people in Shu.

"Come back in three days."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Xiliang army changed.

Wu Zhu's face darkened: "Mr. Ning, what do you mean?"

"Literally!"

"I'll give it to you in three days."

"I have always acted in accordance with the agreement with General He, but if you want to be aggressive, then my Shu people will not be a pushover. The worst that can happen is that the cooperation will break down!" Guan Ning pretended to be displeased.

"You!" Wu Zhu gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
