Chapter 1884: One sword and four soldiers

Qiao Mingtang smiled faintly and said, "Although he is not weak in martial arts, I do not believe that he can escape from the prison so easily."

"Oh?" Feng Polu was stunned.

Qiao Mingtang sneered: "Wei Tianqing has been in Yunshan for many years. Most of Yunshan's soldiers are led by him. He has a strong connection in Yunshan. I am afraid that someone will let him out on purpose if he has his accomplices in the prison."

Feng Polu and other officials were stunned. Xiao Moyun had already said: "Marty, this is not impossible. Wei Tianqing is a false benevolence and righteous person in daily life. Perhaps he really deceived the prisoners, and the prisoners were only interested!"

"After all, it's my fault." Qiao Mingtang sighed, "I have read the wrong person. Last night I have prepared a memorandum of apology from the court. As for the prison guards involved in this matter in the prison, I have also been imprisoned and waited for the emperor's will."

Feng Polu nodded slightly and said, "Wei Tianqing is so ruthless. Governor Qiao is not at ease. I will also submit a memorial to the court and explain the whole story to the emperor. This matter has nothing to do with Governor Qiao."

Qiao Mingtang bowed with gratitude, "I'll thank the marquis."

"As an official in the same dynasty, we naturally cannot let the Governor suffer unjust injustice." Feng Polu smiled and said, "It's just that I'll go to the banquet tonight. If I don't explain the major matter clearly, even if I have delicacies, I will not be able to eat it well."

"The Marquis is talking about food and grass, hahaha!" Qiao Mingtang said: "Don't worry, when the day is dawn tomorrow, I will send someone to send a batch of food and grass, and at least let the Marquis last for a month!" Before Feng Polu could speak, Qiao Mingtang had already continued: "Marquis, don't be too little, this is just a temporary delivery. I will do my best to find a way for the next food and grass. Today, in front of everyone, I will only say one thing. The Marquis is charging forward in front of me, and I will bear all the food and grass. Killing the enemy and suppressing the rebellion is the Marquis' business, and logistical support is my business. If the army fails due to insufficient food and grass, then I will be the first to apologize to the court. Without the emperor's order, I will wipe my neck myself."

When Feng Polu heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Governor Qiao is generous. As long as this sentence is said, I won't say much else. From now on, let's join hands to fight against the rebels." He glanced around and said, "We will not return drunk tonight. If anyone doesn't drink well, he will run away halfway, don't blame me for being merciless."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

Qiao Mingtang suddenly stood up and clapped his hands. Everyone was not sure what Qiao Mingtang wanted to do, but five people came up from downstairs, holding a box in their hands, big and small, long and short. Feng Polu asked, "Governor Qiao, this is!"

Qiao Mingtang smiled and said, "Mr. Qiao likes to collect antiques on weekdays. There are a few things here. I want to ask the Marquis to take a look." He raised his hand and waved his hand like a man. The man came over. Qiao Mingtang pointed to the box and smiled and said, "Master, can you know what is inside?"

Feng Polu shook his head and said, "I don't have the heavenly eyes, I really can't guess."

Qiao Mingtang carefully opened the box and took out something from it. At this time, the sky was dark and lights were lit around. Under the fire, it was dazzling. It turned out to be a lion made of white jade, with fine carvings and vividness. If it were just like this, it would not be rare. However, the lion's eyes were clearly inlaid with gems and shining.

"Is this?" Feng Polu was stunned.

Qiao Mingtang smiled and said, "This is called the White Jade Fire-Eye Lion. The Marquis said that there is no sky eye, so the fire-Eye Lion is given to the Marquis, which is also the wish of our Xishan officials and people."

Feng Polu immediately smiled and said, "How dare you such a precious thing!"

"I'll pack it up, let the marquis take it back and enjoy it slowly." Qiao Mingtang carefully put the white jade fire-eyed lion back into the box, glanced at the four Yiman Wanhu, and saw that the four people stared at the white jade fire-eyed lion. Even if they put it in the box, their eyes could not leave. The four pairs of eyes were full of greed.

"Four thousand households, I have prepared some gadgets for you here." Qiao Mingtang winked, and the servants holding the boxes had opened the boxes.

Everyone looked at it and found that the four items were all golden, and the three of them were not much different, which were golden rats, golden snakes and golden goats. Although they were not big, they were made of pure gold and the carvings were extremely fine, while the last one was a dagger with a golden outer sheath.

Four thousand households stood up one after another, and all of them looked excited.

"This is a gadget made by the best master in Xishan." Qiao Mingtang said: "Originally there was a golden dog, but the golden dog had not been made yet, and the master was seriously ill and could not recover for a while. Originally, these four gifts were given to four thousand households, but one golden dog was missing. There was no way to take out this courage blade. This was also a gift that I could take out."

"Dao Blade?" One Wanhu turned his head.

Qiao Mingtang smiled and said, "This dagger is a very ancient weapon. It is said that it was made by a mysterious craftsman. Legend has it that only a real warrior can reborn it, and only a real warrior is worthy of it. This governor is a literati, and he doesn't understand these. If anyone likes it, he can accept it."

Van Persie reached out and went over without saying a word. Before he touched the dagger, Ibrahimovic had already reached out to grab Van Persie's wrist.

Van Persie was stunned, with a fierce expression on her face and sternly said: "What are you doing?"

"This is a brave blade, only the real warrior deserves it." Ibrahimovic looked ferocious and sneered: "Are you more brave than me?"

The two of them were still arguing, but Shu Wutai on the side had already taken the opportunity to reach out and hold the dagger in his hand. An Lei next to him had already grabbed Shu Wutai's hand and said sternly: "This is mine, leave it to me!"

Shu Wutai said angrily: "I am a real warrior, and the brave sword will naturally belong to me!"

They obviously all had the same words as Zhongyuan dialect, but their pronunciation was not very accurate. Everyone present could understand that when they were in Zhongyuan, these people still argued with the half-baked Zhongyuan dialect.

However, several Xishan officials were surprised to see this, thinking that although the outer sheath of the courage blade was made of gold, the weight seemed to be inferior to the other three golden beasts. If we really consider the value, a dagger may not be stronger than those golden beasts made of pure gold.

But at this time, these four people were obviously disdainful of the golden beast and tried their best to get the dagger.

Most of the civil servants present were present, so naturally they did not understand the attraction of weapons to warriors.

If it was just an ordinary weapon, it might not necessarily cause these four barbarian generals to start a dispute in front of everyone. However, when the four people heard Qiao Mingtang say that the dagger was called the Blade, and only the warriors deserved it, they immediately aroused the four people's competitive spirit.

The Yi Barbarians are famous for their competitive spirit. They are not only cruel and cruel to the outside world, but also attach more importance to courage and reputation among their tribes than anything else. The best praise for the Yi Barbarians is to praise him for his bravery and strength. The most taboo thing about the Yi Barbarians is to others slander their brave reputation. Once they suffer such an insult, they can even be denied their lives.

These four ten thousand households, who can serve as commanders of various tribes, come from Mobei to the Central Plains, are all first-class warriors of their tribes, and naturally cherish their reputation even more.

Now in their eyes, the courage blade is no longer as simple as a dagger, but a recognition of their reputation. The four of them all claim to be brave warriors, so they are naturally unwilling to fall behind others.

Moreover, the Yiman tribes have a habit of fighting. On the grassland of Mobei, these tribes had long had bloody battles with each other. Although they are all dispatched by Qin, the fight between them has never disappeared. Although they are powerful, they do not have much fun. As soon as their tempers rise, no one can suppress them.

The four of them looked at each other and saw that they were about to start a dagger. However, Feng Polu had already frowned and shouted in a deep voice with a cold face: "What kind of moral character, can't stop!"

Feng Polu obviously had a shock to these Yiman Qianhu. With a loud shout, the four of them stopped, but Qiao Mingtang smiled bitterly and said, "It's all my fault. All four of them were attracted to daggers. Oh, it's really not possible. I'll go find a few good weapons to come over. Don't hurt the harmony."

Feng Polu looked at the four people coldly. The four of them were still quite afraid of Feng Polu. They each returned to their seats. Shu Wutai held a dagger in his hand, without saying much, and put it in his arms, feeling a little proud.

Feng Polu then smiled and said to Qiao Mingtang: "Governor Qiao doesn't know that these barbarian brothers like weapons the most. For the four warriors here, you only have one weapon, so they will naturally have a dispute."

Qiao Mingtang looked apologetic. At this moment, someone asked at the stairs: "Governor, can you bring wine and food?"

Qiao Mingtang immediately said, "Hurry up and serve the food!" He returned to Feng Polu and sat down.

The restaurant's staff quickly raised the food and drinks upstairs. Every time they came over, three or four friends came back and forth. Each dish was placed on the table and the name of the dish would be reported.

The four barbarian generals were glaring at each other. When the delicious food with all colors and fragrances were delivered, the four of them forgot the dagger for a moment, and their throats were squirming as they looked at the dishes they were delivered.

"The green dragon crosses the river!" A guy walked to Qiao Mingtang and sang the name of the dish. Feng Polu smiled and said, "The green dragon crosses the river? This name is strange, what's the point?"

Qiao Mingtang signaled the gang to bring the dish to Feng Polu. Feng Polu took a look and found a bass, but there was soup in the bowl. The bass was covered in green and had grown into a fish mouth.

"So that's what it is." Feng Polu smiled and said, "This name is a frightening person."

The guy smiled and said, "Actually, there is another wonderful thing about this green dragon crossing the river, which is that the dragon ball is hidden in his belly!"

"Dragon Ball?"

However, the guy had already stretched out two fingers and poked into the fish's mouth, and smiled and said, "You can take the dragon ball for the adults to see." The two fingers went deeper, then pulled it out. Everyone looked carefully, but suddenly they saw a flash of cold light. The guy actually took out an extremely delicate weapon from the fish's belly, like a dagger, but it was smaller than the dagger, but sharper. Under the fire, the cold light was as cold as ice.

"Assassin!" Feng Polu's face suddenly changed.

"Qiao Mingtang, come and take your time!" The gang had already smashed the fish plate in his hand at Feng Polu, and the hand holding the weapon had already stabbed Qiao Mingtang.
