Chapter 14 Is he a hostage? It feels like we've invited back a plague god.

Upon hearing this, the Right Chancellor of Liao immediately slammed his hand on the table, pointed at Liu Fu, and asked:

"Tell me, how exactly did you steal the grain from my Liao army?"

Liu Fu spread his hands, deliberately speaking in a sarcastic tone:

“You can decide how I stole the Liao army’s grain. I will steal the Liao army’s grain in whatever way you want.”

The Right Chancellor was taken aback and was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by Liu Fu.

Seeing Liu Fu's reaction, Moore asked in confusion:

"Eighth Prince, you might as well explain the matter. I don't understand what you just said."

Liu Fuming said:

"I stole your Liao Kingdom's military rations, and the stolen rations are still with me. Have I made myself clear enough?"

Upon hearing this, Moore Buhua awkwardly smiled and said:

"What are you saying, Eighth Prince? Three hundred thousand shi of military rations is three million six hundred thousand jin, and it's all on your person, so how come I can't see it?"

Liu Fu bypassed Moorbuhua and the Right Chancellor, and looked directly at the Liao Emperor, saying:

"Your Majesty, if you wish to kill me, then kill me. Why frame me with such a charge? Is this how your Liao Kingdom treats its guests?"

After being questioned by Liu Fu, everyone realized that Liu Fu was just saying things out of anger, and was mocking their lack of manners.

Upon seeing Liu Fu's anger, Moore Buhua hurriedly came over to apologize.

Who knew, Liu Fu slapped him across the face!

Such a frail prince, Moorbuhua never expected that Liu Fu's slap would be like a millstone rushing towards him!

With a "crack," he was sent flying five feet away, all twenty or thirty teeth of various sizes knocked out, spraying blood all over the ground.

After beating the man, Liu Fu flicked his sleeves and strode away.

The Liao emperor watched helplessly as his officials were beaten, unable to do anything about it, simply because he was in the wrong.

They quickly ordered someone to help Moorbuhua up. At this moment, Moorbuhua's face was swollen like a pig's head, and almost all of his teeth had been knocked out by Liu Fu's slap. His tongue was also injured when he was hit, and he could not even speak clearly.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this person... I cannot see through him."

The Liao emperor had no choice but to wave his hand and say:

"Send him to the imperial physician to treat his injuries."

At this moment, the Liao emperor was secretly displeased. How could this be considered kidnapping a hostage?

It's as if they've invited a plague god to the Liao Dynasty!

This episode ended there; the loss of 300,000 shi of military rations was out of nowhere, and there was no way to continue the investigation.

The Liao emperor had no choice but to swallow his pride, settle his troops, and then enter the capital with his ministers and imperial guards.

Liu Fu naturally followed along during the entire process of entering the city.

The Liao people lined up in long queues along the way, shouting words of celebration for the Liao emperor's triumphant return, interspersed with occasional disdainful remarks about the Later Han dynasty.

Some Liao people even shouted loudly when they saw Liu Fu dressed as a Han Chinese from the Central Plains:

"The Han prince has come to our Great Liao as a hostage. Remember to keep your tail between your legs and behave yourself!"

"Han prince, if you have even a shred of loyalty, then quickly write a letter to your Han emperor, present a letter of state, and submit to the emperor of my Great Liao, thus averting a war..."

"Come here, everyone, look! This is the prince born to the Han emperor. He's so fair-skinned and delicate. How could such Han people possibly be a match for our strong Liao people?"

…………

Liu Fu listened to these words but didn't say anything more.

He simply took out a handful of silver from his pocket and scattered it on the ground.

Immediately, the Liao people rushed to the ground to grab the silver, and the long queues on the street immediately became chaotic.

Those Liao people, fighting tooth and nail for the silver, knocked each other to the ground and began punching and kicking. In a chaotic mess, they quickly forgot all about mocking Liu Fu.

On the contrary, Liu Fu, sitting upright on his horse, looked at the chaotic Liao people below, shook his head, and said helplessly:

"You barbarians from remote areas are still uncivilized! His Majesty the Liao Emperor is returning to the city in triumph, and you welcome him like this? You have truly disgraced your Liao Kingdom!"

Liu Fu's words infuriated the Liao people, and the Liao emperor was also furious.

Liu Fu's phrase "barbarians in remote areas" directly insulted him as well.

At this moment, the Liao emperor grinned coldly, and this sinister laughter also reached Liu Fu's ears.

It's not far ahead.

Thousands of Liao people, who had been arranged in advance, blocked the street in front of them completely.

"Your Majesty, please, you must do justice for us!"

"My husband died at the hands of Liu Fu, a Han Chinese. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to kill Liu Fu to pay for his life!"

"Our general also died at the hands of Liu Fu. We beg Your Majesty to avenge him and make him pay for his crimes in blood!"

…………

Before long, more and more people gathered on the street, blocking the way forward.

However, the Liao emperor did not send anyone to clear the streets. Instead, he ordered the procession to stop and let Liu Fu face the enraged Liao people.

In reality, they weren't Liao people or ordinary citizens.

Liu Fu knew in his heart that this was all arranged by the Liao Kingdom.

During a previous drinking contest, twenty-nine Liao army generals died from alcohol poisoning. At that time, tens of thousands of Liao soldiers rioted outside the tent, but the Liao emperor suppressed the disturbance.

However, the Liao emperor merely suppressed the emotions of these people without taking any clear action.

At that time, Liu Fu already knew that these pent-up hatreds would eventually erupt into a major conflict, and that his arrival in Liaodu would not be easy.

Sure enough, now there are people from Liao blocking the road, even though they know that the Liao emperor allowed them to do so in order to target them.

Liu Fu remained seated on his horse, without uttering a word.

Before long, a Liao civilian, holding several eggs, threw them at Liu Fu's face.

Liu Fu reacted quickly, grabbing a shield from a nearby imperial guard to block.

Meanwhile, many people from Liaodong threw eggs, rotten vegetable roots, and clods of dirt at Liu Fu...

They threw the objects very densely, but they didn't expect that Liu Fu was not only agile but also had extremely fast reflexes.

With each successful defense, everything thrown at him was blocked by the shield, not a single thing sticking to his body.

But the more Liu Fu did this, the angrier the Liao people became!

They threw things harder and harder, and as Liu Fu continued to defend himself, he also discovered the problem.

The people throwing things at him on the street all exuded a murderous aura; none of them seemed like ordinary citizens.

Looking at their synchronized movements and the Liao soldiers' uniforms hidden behind their coarse linen clothes, Liu Fu had already noticed something amiss.

This is not the work of the Liao people at all!

Instead, it was Liao soldiers who had disguised themselves and infiltrated the area, taking this opportunity to take revenge on him!

Liu Fu was desperately resisting, calling out to the Liao guards several times, but no one answered and no one came to help.

The Liao emperor and many officials were secretly sneering.

"We'll see how long you can hold out. You'll be begging for mercy on your knees soon enough."

They never expected that Liu Fu was so cunning and full of evil intentions.

In the blink of an eye, a plan had already formed in his mind.
