Chapter 697: Internal Worries

The Great Elder looked at the confidence flying in Su Wanqing's eyes, and a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

At the beginning, he really didn't see the wrong person, this girl, although she is still young, has amazing perseverance, this is an ordinary woman, even an ordinary man, will not have such a strong emotion.

Although he didn't know what this girl had experienced over the years, the Great Elder had seen all kinds of people for so many years, and he thought that his vision of people would not be bad.

Now it seems that it is true.

This city, in the eyes of others, may be a fragrant bait. However, in the eyes of the Great Elder, if he could not completely solve the affairs of the barbarian tribe and establish his own prestige, I am afraid that he would also be buried in the future. Over time, this danger must be painful.

What's more, this city is ultimately going to develop, if the people are here, the most basic security is not guaranteed, so how can we talk about development?

It's not so easy to develop a city. What's more, there are still many difficulties in this, which cannot be easily solved by relying on human suppression alone.

There are a lot of complicated things in this matter. What's more, although the Elder Group sent more than 500 members of the Elder Corps to guard the city, in the eyes of others, this is already a very remarkable number. But only the Great Elder knew in his heart that if these five hundred people really faced the barbarian tribe, it was still unknown whether they would win or lose.

This barbarian tribe is not so easy to solve. Otherwise, the people of their elder group would not have stayed in the city for so long and achieved nothing. If you really want to talk about it, the two sides are still in a stalemate.

The Great Elder thought that perhaps he had pinned his hopes on a little girl, which made several other elders, and even members of the elder group, feel very puzzled. But he couldn't say it, maybe after hearing that this young girl, with her own strength, repelled the Northern Qi Kingdom and Si Youguo that attacked Tianli Country, and managed to make them lose thousands of loads of grain and grass, he secretly paid attention to her.

Others may think that all this is just because Dongli Kingdom finally pushed behind the scenes and helped Tianli Kingdom. But the Great Elder could see that if it weren't for the personal ability of Su Wanqing, I am afraid she would not have come to this point.

In the final analysis, Dongli Kingdom is willing to help, and it is completely for the sake of Su Wanqing's face, isn't it? Being able to make Dongli Guo make a move, this in itself is also Su Wanqing's ability.

Of course, at that time, everyone didn't know that Su Wanqing still had this identity. Now it seems that all this is so natural and logical, and it is not surprising at all.

What's so strange about the Eastern Thunderbolt Kingdom helping their only little princess, and Prince Rong helping his only sister? I heard that Rong Shuxuan and Rong Yanyu tried to find Su Wanqing at the beginning, but it took a lot of effort, and now the family is finally reunited, which is already an extremely touching thing, not to mention, Su Wanqing has married the six princes of Tianli Country, and she can be regarded as a member of the royal family of Tianli Country, so why shouldn't she do something for her?

Rong Shuxuan didn't say anything from beginning to end. Obviously, he still had a good idea of the Great Elder's actions. Even so, he didn't say anything, and from the position of the Great Elder, he could still understand the Great Elder's difficulties.

After all, if this matter spreads, it will have some adverse effects.

For the Great Elder, he needs to have a capable country, or a capable person, to completely solve the external troubles of this city, instead of spreading the news and letting others think that the famous elder group has no way to take the barbarian tribe, so for the country of the Central Plains, can there be any better way?

Could it be that they are stronger than the elder group? If so, it will cause unnecessary panic.

On the other hand, to put it mildly, even the elder group can't handle the barbarian tribe, does this show from the side, in fact, the strength of the elder group is only like this? If others think so, it is self-evident what will happen to the reputation of the Elder Body.

Therefore, the Elders did not publicize this matter in the end, but gave away this city in the name of the Homeland Championship. In the eyes of others, this is clearly a pie in the world, but now only those present know that this matter is a tricky job at all.

If you really want to talk about it, this elder group is also very clever, and it didn't explain this matter in advance, if the winner was from another country, he would have happily accepted it, where would he care so much? But if it really broke out, then they could only knock out their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

Originally, in order to develop a city, but to pay such a big price, ask yourself, is it worth it? The answer, of course, is no.

For these countries, it is indeed a very cost-effective thing to be able to win a piece of land and develop their own cities, and no one will refuse. But if there was a country next to this city that had been eyeing it and wanted to devour it at any moment, they would not have thought so.

At that time, the human, material and financial resources that need to be paid are absolutely unimaginable. After all, wars have always been so cruel, not to mention, the other party is still a barbarian tribe outside the Central Plains, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the elder group at all, who knows what kind of actions they will make?

At the beginning, the Central Plains country was not without conflicts with those tribes, but in the end, most of the people who suffered were Central Plains people. The reason why the barbarian tribe is called barbarian is not that this country is really called barbarian, but that the people of the Central Plains are accustomed to calling these countries and nations outside the Central Plains collectively as the barbarian tribe.

Because in the eyes of the people of the Central Plains, these barbarians, who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, are they not the so-called barbarians?

A group of people were still dining, and the shopkeeper served a lot of delicious dishes at the right time. The guests of this day are extremely noble, but they have to be carefully served.

Pei Yumo, who was sitting next to Rong Yanyu, took a sip of sweet fruit wine and asked a question.

"I heard that the barbarian tribe outside the Central Plains had already signed a truce agreement with the Elders as early as ten years ago, and began to trade with the surrounding countries. Why do they dare to attack our Central Plains region so unscrupulously? Aren't they afraid of causing war? ”

The Great Elder took a bite of the food, glanced at Pei Yumo, and said leisurely: "Yumo girl, maybe you don't know much, at the beginning, our elder group did sign an agreement with the representatives of the barbarian tribe, but you must know that the area outside the Central Plains is vast and sparsely populated, but the resources are poor, and the distribution of the barbarian tribes is also extremely scattered, we just signed an agreement with the most concentrated part of the barbarian tribe, not to mention that they are not far from the Central Plains, and they do need us to provide resources to maintain daily survival." But in other places, there are many tribes, they are not used to the Central Plains people at all, and they do not disdain to be with the Central Plains people, and at the same time, they do not belong to the jurisdiction of the barbarian tribe, and still live on their own in the situation of the tribe, this barbarian tribe is one of them. ”

As soon as the Great Elder's words came out, everyone understood. This barbarian tribe is simply fighting alone, if they discriminate against the Central Plains, then everything makes sense. They are so lacking in resources, although this city has not yet been fully built, but in the end the land is large, rich in resources, it is the place where they live, it is completely incomparable, if they do not want to occupy it, it is really strange.

Speaking of this, the Great Elder suddenly glanced at Su Wanqing, pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Speaking of which, the old man remembered something and hadn't told Su Yatou yet. ”

Su Wanqing's heart suddenly had a hint of ominous premonition.

"Great Elder, say it." Su Wanqing looked at the Great Elder with a look of "I always think that what you want to say is not a good thing" on her face.

The Great Elder's hand, which originally wanted to touch his beard, also paused, and then there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Su girl, what kind of expression do you have, I always feel like you are telling the old man that what the old man wants to say is not a good thing."

If it weren't for some rudeness, Su Wanqing would have wanted to roll her eyes.

Great Elder, you haven't said anything good since you just started, okay? It should be said that since the meeting today, she has not been told anything that makes her happy. It seems that there is a certain price to be paid for this matter.

But since she has taken it all, what can she say now?

It's just that things don't seem to be so simple, no, isn't the Great Elder still finished?

The Great Elder then said, "But Miss Su, you really didn't guess wrong, the next thing is not a bad thing, at most it is just a small trouble." ”

Su Wanqing was silent for a moment, and then said, "Great Elder Grandpa, tell me, what kind of 'little trouble' is it?" ”

Su Wanqing didn't believe it, the little trouble in the Great Elder's mouth was really just a small trouble, if it was, there was no need for him to say it in person, okay!

"Actually, it's like this, didn't the elder group send more than 500 elite soldiers of the elder group to be stationed in the city, they have lived there for a long time, and they are more familiar with the city, but their leader Xiao Kun only joined the elder group a few years ago, although he is a newcomer, he has outstanding achievements and outstanding ability, but unfortunately it does not belong to the jurisdiction of the old man, and this person is more admitted, he is still more confident in his ability, and his subordinates also respect him very much. So Su girl, if you want to gain a foothold in the city, I'm afraid you will have to work hard. The Great Elder said with a smile in his eyes.

Su Wanqing: ...... You might as well just say that this cub is his own boss, and he doesn't like others to step on his head, and you don't want to care! What else do you say that it doesn't fall under your jurisdiction, the huge group of elders, who dares not to listen to you, ah?!

Although she slandered her heart, Su Wanqing's face was not obvious.

"So what the Great Elder Grandpa means is that when I settle in the city, I have to convince this cub first, no, this General Xiao is convinced, right?"

The Great Elder smiled and touched his beard again.

"Yes."

Now, there are not only external troubles, but also internal worries. God is really fair, and there is really no shortage of trouble.
