Chapter 406: Bargain Swap

Stepping into the gate of the city guard, Su Qin felt a different smell, all of them seemed to be so old, all of them were the original architectural style of the Great Qin people, and even many places were a little damaged, but they could still see the style of this building decades ago.

"Please." The middle-aged man raised his hand politely.

Su Qin nodded, he knew that this middle-aged man who was not amazing was Li Yuancheng's number one think tank in Lishan County, and Li Yuancheng was able to successfully survive in the two major forces of the Xisluo Empire and the Great Qin Empire without being swallowed up, and he was indispensable.

Walking into the hall, the old man with his back to the door turned around, and on a face full of vicissitudes, only the eyes showed this person's extraordinary spirit, but the slightly bowed back also showed that his old man was a little powerless.

"Su Qin, the envoy of the Northwest Military and Political Festival, has seen Lord Li." Su Qin was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Lord Su, please be seated." Li Yuancheng's face was extremely calm, as if he was entertaining an old friend, and the guests and hosts took their seats after the ceremony.

"Jiedu sent the lord back to the northwest, and heard that Lord Li's noble body was sick, so he specially entrusted Su Qin to come and visit the lord." A sincere smile appeared on Su Qin's face, and he presented the things he brought, "This is a golden shell produced in the Green Sea Swamp, which has a good effect on the adult's illness, and it was the Jie Du who specially asked Su Qin to bring it." ā€

"Medicine and medicine do not die of disease, Buddha is destined to be a person, and the adult is grateful for the care of the adult on behalf of Li." Li Yuancheng shook his head and replied meaningfully.

"Why do you say that? Now that adults are in the prime of life, it is a good time to show their skills and make contributions, how can you have this idea? Su Qin also went along the way, and asked pretendedly.

Master Su smiled, Li is over fifty years old, and his health has been good and bad recently. The energy is not better than before, I want to tell Mr. Li to return to his hometown, and spend his old age in peace, but he is entangled in trivial matters, and he has not been idle, and I don't know if the festival can allow Li to return to his hometown? Li Yuancheng glanced at Su Qin, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

"Master Li is serious. The festival has made the adults have always admired Lord Li for maintaining the integrity of my Great Qin clan for decades, and in such a harsh environment, I have always admired Lishan, the inherent territory of my Great Qin Empire, and praised you many times. Su Qin nodded and said.

"Oh?" Li Yuancheng was greatly surprised, he didn't expect Qin Duan to have such an evaluation of himself.

"There is no lie, the envoy of Jiedu has said many times that Lishan County was in a complex and harsh environment at that time, and as long as he could try his best to keep the territory intact, it would be a great achievement. As for the irresponsible remarks of outsiders who do not know the inside story, or the opinions of those who do not know the details of the DPRK, they cannot be regarded as historical conclusions. ā€

Su Qin said word by word, his tone was very strict, he knew that Li Yuancheng was very sensitive to what everyone thought of this matter, especially how Qin Duan looked at this matter twenty years ago.

Li Yuancheng was shocked, he didn't expect Qin Duan to have such courage and dare to comment on the scene twenty years ago in front of his subordinates, it was the current emperor of the empire who made a final conclusion himself, for which he had to bear huge mental pressure in the past twenty years, which was also one of the main reasons for his poor mental health and premature aging.

"Don't you think that Li is colluding with foreign enemies to commit treason and join the enemy to cut off the male?" Li Yuancheng settled down before he asked again.

That's not true. To look at a thing is first of all to look at its essence. And not look at the form of it. Su Qin smiled: "Collusion with foreign enemies to commit treason? Yeosan County did not become part of the Sithro Empire nor fell into the clutches of nomads, so how could it be treason and join the enemy? Lishan County was still part of the Northwest County of the Great Qin Empire. The decree of the Great Qin Empire is still in force, and you, Lord Li, are not called lonely, so how can you cut off the throne? ā€

Su Qin's words made Li Yuancheng, whose face had always been cloudy, suddenly feel brighter, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, and even Zhou Tinggui, who was sitting on the side, had to sigh Su Qin's eloquence.

"The old man is old, and he doesn't want to go into the ground in the name of a traitorous minister. Now that Mr. can get enlightenment, it can be regarded as sweeping away the grievances of 20 years. I think back then, the old man governed this Lishan County smoothly, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, but the imperial court wanted to remove me from office as soon as he issued an appointment and dismissal order. It's okay to be dismissed, I was replaced by an official who was removed from his post by me for embezzlement of public funds, and that person also had an unsavory deal with the Siathrows, I wrote a petition, but no one paid attention to it, and I saw that the land I had worked so hard to build was about to be occupied by the wicked, I was really unwilling to do so, so I was angry with the villain, but I didn't expect to cause a catastrophe. ā€

Speaking of this, Li Yuanchang let out a long breath, his eyes looked at the distance of the door, as if he was remembering the glory and pain of that day, and after a long time, he said: "Needless to say, everyone knows about the future." Master Su, since you represent Lord Li today, I will officially propose to you to return to your hometown, and this Qiē in Lishan County will naturally be handled by Lord Li, but I want to mention a Jian yƬ at the end. ā€

Seeing the determined look in the other party's eyes, Su Qin said politely: "Please speak." ā€

"Now that the Sithros are eyeing each other, and my unsuccessful brothers have always been in league with them, I am very worried that they will do something very rebellious during my sick days, and I would like to ask Lord Li to immediately send troops to Lishan to temporarily take over the defense of Lishan County, so as not to be unexpected. In addition, I would also like to recommend to Lord Li that the castle guard of Lishan County be succeeded by Zhou Tinggui to ensure the stability of Lishan. Li Yuancheng's tone was very firm and peaceful.

"Your Excellency!" Zhou Tinggui stood up in surprise.

"Tinggui, the Lord of the Festival is a master who can be trusted, I am old, this world belongs to young people, follow the Lord of the Festival." Li Yuancheng patted Zhou Tinggui's shoulder and smiled.

Su Qin also said happily: "We have already heard of Lord Zhou's talents, and I will bring a table to make Lord Zhou Tinggui agree to the new post of county warden of Lishan County. ā€

"Very good, Mr. Su, then please go and convey the envoy of Jiedu immediately, and ask him to send a large army to Lishan quickly, I am worried that I may not be able to control my younger brother now, he is the division commander of the First Garrison Division, if there is any more intervention from the Sithroes, it will be difficult to control the form." Li Yuancheng said with some regret.

"Okay, then I'll send someone to Tokugawa to inform the envoy of the festival, I hope you don't see this unpleasant scene."

Su Qin also sensed the urgency of the matter, Li Yuancheng must have sensed something in such an eagerness, maybe the army of the Sithroes was already on its way south. (To be continued......)
