Chapter 1068 Who is the Hostage? [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival]
Sure enough, the little girl's smile to him became even more friendly.
She only said, "Second Uncle, pills are also considered elixirs. We run a herbal medicine shop, so it's normal for us to make some pills."
Hahaha, Qin Xiaomi was very happy. When she was trying out the firearm, someone asked her where the explosion came from. She replied that the furnace exploded while she was making the medicine.
Uncle Qin scanned her eyes and said, "Just go ahead and do it."
Then he asked, "Do you want to meet Liu Ge'er? Do you want to meet him now or wait for two days? How will you deal with him? How do you want us to cooperate with you?"
Qin Xiaomi: "Let's meet him now. I don't want to see his feminine face during the New Year."
"I've already publicly defeated Bazi Shanhuai, what else can I do? Of course, if he tries to bully me, I'll give him a beating and jail time."
He then scolded County Magistrate Kang: "You are so shrewd. You only care about the credit and won't help to stop any trouble. You just..."
"Qin Xiaomi!" Grandpa Qin's face turned cold: "How can you be a cricket to your parents? It's not okay to be a cricket in your own home."
Qin Xiaomi: "Granddaughter is wrong, grandpa, don't be angry."
Humph, the girl apologizes smoothly, but she just won’t change!
Grandpa Qin snorted coldly and said to Grandma Qin and Uncle Qin, "Old woman, go tell everyone to close their doors and windows and not let women and children out. Second uncle, wait for half a quarter of an hour, then go and invite Liu Ge'er to come over. Remember to bring two soldiers with you as witnesses."
"Yes." After agreeing, Grandma Qin took Aunt Qin and two servants, Runxi and Qingzhen, to tell each family to stay indoors for the time being.
After everyone was ready, Uncle Qin went to the sentry post halfway through the street and invited Liu Ge'er to come home.
Behind him were Generals Da Li and Xiao Zhang, who were on guard duty halfway down the street.
In the Qin family's front shop, only Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Uncle Qin, Qin Xiaogu, Qin Xiaomi, and the servants who knew martial arts were left.
Liu Ge'er went to the meeting alone, dressed like a scholar from outside the mountains, looking like a legal advisor. As soon as they met, he held up a gift box and bowed to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin: "I am Liu Ge'er, the son of the leader of the second village in the mountain. I pay my respects to Old Master Qin, Old Madam Qin, and the Qin family... I have heard about what Bazi Shanhuai did and feel deeply ashamed. On behalf of all the villages in the mountain, I come to apologize to the Qin family."
He turned to Qin Xiaomi again, leaned forward, and said sincerely, "Please accept this apology, Mr. Qin, and forgive me."
"Young Master, there's no need for the formalities," Grandpa Qin said hurriedly. "Young Master, you don't have to come and apologize. It was Bazi and Shan Huai who made the mistake. It has nothing to do with you, Young Master. How can we accept your gift?"
Liu Ge'er's face remained gentle and humble, but his inner displeasure had increased several degrees: "You untouchable from outside the mountain, I am sending an apology gift to your granddaughter, what are you saying?"
You're still refusing to accept the apology, isn't that a slap in my face?
"Do you have a gift list?" Qin Xiaomi asked.
Hearing this, Liu Ge'er looked up at her, nodded and smiled, "Of course there is, it's in the apology gift box."
Qin Xiaomi: "Okay, then Young Master, please place the apology gift on the table. My family will send someone to deliver it to the county government office to the county magistrate."
You vicious woman, you scoundrel, why do you always do such unreasonable things?
Liu Ge'er was almost furious, but her face remained gentle. "Boss Qin has misunderstood. This is an apology gift from the various villages in the mountains to the Qin family... As for the county government and the county magistrate, I will prepare another apology gift and come to apologize after the New Year."
You don’t have to worry about it, just accept this gift box!
But Qin Xiaomi didn't. She smiled and said, "It's the young leader who misunderstood. Bazi Shanhuai didn't offend my family, but Wei Lu. The two of them abused their special household registration to bring people through the checkpoint. After the matter was exposed, Captain Ling handed them over to the authorities for investigation according to the law."
"This matter, to be honest, has nothing to do with my family. If the young leader really wants to apologize, he should go to Ghost Village to find Captain Ling or Captain Zhong, or go to the government office to apologize."
"Young Master, this gift is misplaced." Liuge'er, his killing intent already rising: "..."
After a moment, he said, "Mr. Qin said that after I leave the Qin family, I will immediately take the apology gift to Wansong Village and apologize to Captain Ling and Captain Zhong, but this apology gift is for Mr. Qin."
Qin Xiaomi: "Oh, then Young Master, just put it on the table."
Liu Ge'er almost suffocated and had to ask, "Will Mr. Qin send this apology gift to County Magistrate Kang?"
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be given to County Magistrate Kang. It can also be given to Captain Ling or Captain Zhong."
Liu Ge'er was so eager to peel her alive and use her skin as a drumhead: "In other words, Mr. Qin will never keep this apology gift at home, no matter what?"
Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Yes, I hope Young Master will understand."
"I don't understand." Liu Ge'er was about to get angry: "We are allies. I am just accepting an apology from my ally. What's wrong with that?"
Qin Xiaomi asked back, "Ally? Is the Young Master truly willing to ally with us?"
Liu Ge'er: "Of course, otherwise why would I stay outside the mountain and maintain the friendship between the people inside and outside the mountain?"
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Young Master stayed outside the mountain to keep an eye on Jiang Dalang's movements, didn't he? Otherwise, Young Master wouldn't have come here specifically to gather information."
"Let me be frank with you, Young Master. Jiang Dalang will not be returning home for the New Year. As for where he went during the New Year, and whether he led his men into the mountains to kill, my family has no idea. This is a military secret. If you want to know, you have to go to the capital and ask General Liang."
Everyone present was shocked.
General Li, General Zhang, Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin, Second Uncle Qin, and even Liu Ge'er: This, this can be said openly?!
Liu Ge'er took a moment to calm down before smiling and saying, "Boss Qin misunderstood. I didn't mean that."
Qin Xiaomi also laughed, but did not respond, for fear that once she opened her mouth, she would reveal Liu Ge'er's true purpose.
That is: the only thing that could make Liu Ge'er, whose arrogance was about to break the sky, run back to Taifeng Town and humble himself was to take several of their families as hostages.
Why take them hostage?
Of course, they were afraid that the Yamanouchi Azu would be defeated.
"We have received the Young Master's apology. Please put it aside as an apology." Qin Xiaomi called out to the soldiers, "General Li, General Zhang, please help my family see the Young Master off."
Liu Ge'er also knew that there was no need to continue talking at this point, and it all depended on the outcome of the competition between the two sides.
He smiled, placed the apology gift box on the table, and bowed to everyone in the Qin family: "Sorry to bother you... Happy New Year."
"Young leader, there's no need to be so polite." Grandpa Qin came out and said some polite words.
"Many courtesy is always welcome." Liu Ge'er said, turning around and calling the two soldiers: "Brothers, let's go."
However, Qin Xiaomi suddenly said, "The young village chief's appearance is really handsome in a way that we outsiders don't have."
The subtle differences in appearance had already exposed Liu Ge'er's bloodline.
So, who are the hostages?
According to Qin Xiaomi, Liu Ge'er is the hostage sent by the Yamauchi spy to the Wei army!
"Qin Xiaomi, you're engaged!" Uncle Qin shouted, and then hurriedly said, "Young Master, don't listen to her nonsense. She just likes to be coquettish. Come on, come on, I'll see you off."
Uncle Qin's words successfully stopped Liu Ge'er from thinking too much. After saying a compliment to Qin Xiaomi, he followed Uncle Qin and the two soldiers away.
After they left, Qin Xiaomi immediately called Shen Lu Niang, Ye Xifen, and the others over. "Wrap the gift box in leather, pack it up, spray it with antidote, and send it to Captain Zhong... Warn him to be careful of anything in the box that might be highly toxic or contain parasite eggs. Liu Ge'er is an expert on this."
