Chapter 606 The Rebels' trump card

Soon a Tubo person came out to invite him.
The Tubo people also had a short dress that was different from the Tang people. They exuded a strong spice smell. The ochre-red dye was not applied on their faces, but they were hung with many accessories made of coral, turquoise and beeswax.
He was wearing a bright gold bracelet on his right hand.
This man is in his thirties and his face is not as purple and black as shiny. He is already considered fair among the Tubo people.
He saw Gu Liubai's expression suddenly changed. He bowed from afar and said, "Supreme and noble Lord Green Eyes, please follow me."
As soon as Gu Liubai saw this person's expression, he knew that the other party must have been in Heishawa at that time, so he smiled faintly and said, "Are you in Heishawa at that time? What's your name?"
The man said in awe, "My name is Jean Yingji, and I have indeed seen the power of Lord Green Eyes in Heishawa."
At this time, in any big city in Chang'an, everyone probably knew that Green Eyes was the current Gu Daoshou. But the farthest place Niu went to on Tuesday was the nearby town. There was not even a storyteller in the town. He had never heard of Green Eyes and Heishawa. Seeing these foreigners so awe of Gu Liubai, he was surprised and thought that this young master was so majestic, but why did he call him Lord Green Eyes, his eyes were not green either.
However, he was surprised but he did not forget the purpose of coming in at the beginning. He followed Gu Liubai and looked around.
In his imagination, these monasteries should be filled with gold and silver and magnificent, but they look empty, with simple bamboo and wood furniture, especially some of the furnishings, even some of the tree roots, wooden stakes, etc., and occasionally the white porcelain vases are filled with wild flowers collected from the mountains and fields.
After following Gu Liubai into the courtyard made of four monasteries, he was even more stunned when he looked at the dry mountains and rivers arranged in the sank courtyard in the center, thinking that what the hell is these nobles? They don’t plant some beautiful flowers, lay a layer of dry sand, pile some stones in the middle, and stick a few dead trees to make it. It’s better to make a fire pit in the middle to barbecue.
The door of one of the monasteries was open, without any decorations inside, only a long strip of dead wood, with many futons on both sides.
At this time, there were five Tubo people standing at the door of the monastery. The oldest one was old, and the youngest one was almost the same as Gu Liubai. When Yingji saw these five people, he bowed and said quickly in Tubo language, "The supreme and noble Lord Green Eyes is here."
The five Tubo people immediately bowed to Gu Liubai, all of whom were the most noble and noble Lord Green Eyes. Seeing these Tubo people like this, Xiao Zhenwei looked at his junior nephew and was satisfied and sighed in his heart. He couldn't help but say, Junior brother, the disciples you taught were really majestic. The people in the Canglang Sword Sect mountain gate together were not as good as your disciple's finger.
Gu Liubai smiled slightly and bowed. Before he could speak, the oldest Tubo man with gray and sparse hair hesitated for a moment and asked, "Supreme and noble Lord Green Eyes, why are your eyes not green?"
Gu Liubai knew a lot about the Tubo people, so he naturally knew how to better control these Tubo people. He said calmly, "That was just a stage in my practice. Now I have crossed this stage."
After saying that, he waved his hand directly to the temple on the left.
A sneering sound exploded.
These Tubo people only felt creepy and had not seen clearly what was going on. The gate of the monastery had been cut off in the waist. The sword energy instantly passed through the monastery, broke through the wall, and hit the cliff behind. In an instant, the rocks collapsed and the splashed gravel made the walls of the monastery ring.
When the gate fell, I saw five Tubo people inside, with no expression on their faces. There was a large brazier in the center, and there were several iron tools like pine cones beside them.
Gu Liubai's sword energy passed through them. Although the five people had no wounds on their bodies, they felt that their bodies were crushed.
Gu Liubai glanced at these people, then looked at the old Tubo man, and smiled sarcastically, "Why, do you want to treat me to these firearms?"
All the Tubo people present showed a look of horror, and the old Tubo lips were even trembling and said tremblingly, "Supreme and noble Green Eyes, please calm down. I didn't know who was attacking before, so I made such preparations."
While speaking, a Tubo maid came over with a silver basin, and all the inside was filled with eggs.
Zhou Erniu was not very shocked when he saw Gu Liubai's sword energy. After all, he knew that the Heavenly Master was so powerful that he could even beat ghosts. What is the point of breaking a door with one spell?
When he saw these eggs and looked at the brazier again, he was immediately a little happy and said softly, "Tianshi, why not let them bring the brazier over and roast eggs?"
Gu Liubai laughed as soon as he heard this, and ordered him to let him tremblely. Yingji said, "Let them bring those firearms over, and put the fire braziers in the patio and put the eggs in and bake them."
These Tubo people didn't know what Gu Liubai wanted these raw eggs. At this time, they felt relieved when they saw Gu Liubai's smiling face. When they heard that they wanted to make eggs and set them in a brazier, they couldn't figure it out, and they just thought that this might be a special ceremony.
After the brazier was placed in the patio and the eggs were put in, Gu Liubai took a firearm to look at it.
I saw that the firearm was an iron pine cone. The iron sheets on the surface looked similar to the shell of the pine cone. There were several simple runes inside the iron sheet.
"Where did this firearm come from?" Gu Liubai saw that these Tubo people were silent and didn't know what to say or do, so he asked first, and then he was too lazy to go into the monastery to do it. He directly ordered Yingji to bring some chairs out and put them in the patio.
The five Tubo people in the monastery saw that Gu Liubai didn't want to enter the house, so they immediately walked out. The old man still spoke and said, "This firearm was given to us by Ye Fengque."
"Ye Fengque?" Gu Liubai immediately frowned slightly.
Seeing that he seemed to be disbelief, the five Tubo people immediately swore on their chests.
At this time, a sudden bang sounded, and the Tubo people present were shocked.
Then there was a constant bang of explosions, and charcoal fires splashed in the fire basin.
Zhou Erniu was frightened when he saw these Fanbian people, and suddenly laughed. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Zhenwei beside him, and said with a smile, "How is it, it's going to explode?"
Xiao Zhen nodded slightly, smelled the burnt smell again, and couldn't help but say, "This doesn't look like smell of smelly feet, but it looks like the burnt chicken shit."
On Tuesday, Niu laughed and said, "The charcoal fire is too strong. If the fire is smaller, it will still be delicious if it is simmered for a while."
These Tubo people didn't know that Zhou Erniu and Gu Liubai wanted Xiao Zhenwei to hear it. At this time, they were muttering in their hearts, "Can't the green eyes mean that we should hit the stone with eggs, or throw us into the fire and roast them?"
Gu Liubai pondered slightly, and then said in an orderly tone, "From today on, don't cooperate with rebel generals from Situ Qingcheng and Ye Fengque, and cooperate with me."
"Is it really possible?" Gu Liubai had not yet issued the conditions, but these Tubo people were immediately overjoyed when they heard this.
The old Tubo with sparse hair was a little unbelievable, and couldn't help but add, "I heard that Lord Green Eyes, you and Zan Zhuo have turned enemies into friends. Can you still be friends with us?"
Gu Liubai smiled and said, "What's your name?"
The old Tubo man hesitated and said, "My name is E Zhenzan."
Gu Liubai instantly felt that the name sounded familiar. He thought about it and suddenly remembered, "So you are the king of the Central Plains. You are quite famous. It is said that you killed two of your sons in order to seize the land of Zhongle?"
E Zhen praised, "Those two sons are not the same as me. I have five sons and the other three are the same as me, but they are killed by Zanzhuo."
"That's okay." Gu Liubai smiled and said, "You are in the Tang Dynasty now, and you are not fighting with Zanzhuo in Tubo, so it will not hinder me from doing business with you. I think you are in good health. You can live well. You can have five sons before, and in the future, if your son doesn't have the same heart as you, you don't need to kill you, I will kill you."
When E Zhenzan heard Gu Liubai say this, she became happy and said, "Supreme and noble Lord Green Eyes, as long as I can get your promise, I am willing to become your loyal friend."
The other few people didn't speak out immediately, but just looked at a thin but energetic middle-aged man.
"I am King Gewu Nie Yancuo." The middle-aged man also spoke out actively and said calmly, "Everyone wants to be friends with a real strong man, but the supreme and noble Lord Green Eyes, what do you need us to do and what will you promise us?"
At this time, the chair had been put on, so Gu Liubai asked the group to sit down and talk in detail.
These chairs are made of cypress trees on the mountain, which is naturally very wild in the eyes of noble people, but Zhou Erniu couldn't help but mutter in his heart, could it be that the rich people save money?
Seeing Zhou Erniu dislike the chairs, Gu Liubai smiled at Jean Yingji again and asked him to get some food and refreshments for Zhou Erniu to see.
"What did Ye Fengque and Situ Qingcheng promise you?" After all the exiled Tubo nobles sat down, Gu Liubai asked straight to the point.
Nie Yancuo said clearly, "I will give us a lot of weapons, lend us troops, and give me a state territory. We will provide them with money, but they will give us corresponding Tang Dynasty copper coins."
However, Gu Liubai was stunned when he heard this, "You give them money, what does it mean to give you the corresponding Tang Dynasty copper coins? They want your valuable treasures, just exchange them for copper coins and silver?"
E Zhenzan, who was standing aside, immediately explained, "It's not official coins, it's private coins."
Gu Liubai frowned instantly, "Ye Fengque and the others have a coin minting workshop that can cast a large number of copper coins?"
Nie Yan nodded wrongly and said, "Yes, they have shipped a batch of copper coins for us."
Gu Liubai said, "Then how to exchange your property for copper coins?"
Nie Yan said incorrectly, "Those who should sell ten copper coins, give us ten copper coins, but these ten copper coins are not official coins, they made them."
"Is there any copper coins they give you? Show me."
Gu Liubai really didn't expect Ye Fengque and others to do this trick.
In the Tang Dynasty, privately minted coins was a crime of killing a stick, but Fufeng County itself had already rebelled, and the rebels were not afraid of Tang Dynasty's rule.
The prosperous Tang Dynasty was in order. There had never been a large number of counterfeit coins before. Now a large number of counterfeit coins are suddenly circulating. If it is imitated so that ordinary people can't see it at all, it may cause great problems.
"I have it on me." Nie Yancuo took out a few casually and handed them to Gu Liubai.
Gu Liubai just glanced at the copper coins and weighed the amount again, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
