"My lord, someone from Qingyang has come to visit you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Zhou Tinggui looked at Sun Yuanliang, the city guard lying on the hospital bed, with some concern, looking at his emaciated face, his heart was sad for no reason, he worked hard all night, sandwiched between the two major forces, with the growth of age, the physical condition of the city guard was far worse than before, and now he fell ill, and almost no one in the huge city guard mansion could help except himself.

"Oh?" Opening his somewhat godless eyes, a trace of flush appeared on Sun Yuanliang's face, and with the support of the maid beside him, Sun Yuanliang sat up hard, "Tinggui, these days have worked hard for you, I think my body may be difficult to survive this year." ”

"Why do you say this, my lord? You are just occasionally feeling a cold, and with a little rest, you will surely recover your health. Zhou Tinggui frowned and said, "If you really want to go back to your hometown to recuperate, you can also apply to the Imperial Court." Zhou Tinggui deeply understands his desire to return to his hometown to recuperate, the ups and downs of the past few decades have made him tired, and the sharp edges and corners of his youth have long been worn out by the ruthless reality.

"Apply?, then Situ Mingyue still has to peel off my skin?" After recovering a little, Sun Yuanliang showed a self-deprecating wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "He's been waiting for this day." ”

Zhou Tinggui was speechless for a while, Sun Yuanliang and he were the main parties who had personally experienced the Yinchuan Incident twenty years ago, and the imminent tension at that time was still vivid.

"It's been 20 years since things happened, why should adults be so careful? What's more, he Situ Mingyue hasn't been able to do anything to us in the past 20 years?" Zhou Tinggui deliberately aroused Sun Yuanliang's ambition.

"Yes, even if he Situ Mingyue owns the entire empire, he can't do anything to Sun, Sun still lives freely in this Yinchuan Mansion. Sun Yuanliang's eyes lit up, but then they dimmed, "But so what? The old man just wants to return to his hometown and live a quiet life." ”

Zhou Tinggui sighed in his heart, Lord Cheng Shou no longer has the pride of the past, and the passage of time has turned a once glorious imperial general into an ordinary old man, he is not good at doing any more persuasion, so he has to say again: "My lord, Qingyang Li Wufeng has sent someone to visit you." ”

"Well, I know, everything that should come will come. Sun Yuanliang's face was flat, but his vision was extremely far-reaching, "I think the Siathrow people will also send people, right?"

"My lord, the envoy of General Kidman of Nuremberg has also arrived in Yinchuan City, and now he has gone to General Yuanhui. Zhou Tinggui replied bitterly.

"Hmph, it seems that the Sithro people have seen the situation very clearly!" Sun Yuanliang has regained his usual majesty, although he still looks a little haggard, but his mental state has improved a lot, and it is obvious that these uninvited guests have aroused his fighting spirit.

"Go and ask the messenger of Lord Li, and say that the old man will see him in the study. Sun Yuanliang got out of bed in his clothes and motioned to the little maid next to him to dress him.

"My lord, '''''' your body?" Zhou Tinggui only asked, and seeing that Lord Cheng Shou's brows were already furrowed, he didn't say anything more and went out.

"It's time for a break, it's been 20 years, and I, Sun Yuanliang, have been carrying the reputation of betraying the country for glory for 20 years, and I've had enough. Looking at Zhou Tinggui's back as he went out, Sun Yuanliang muttered to himself.

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

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

Su Qin nodded, he knew that this middle-aged man who was not amazing was Sun Yuanliang's number one think tank in Yinchuan Mansion, and Sun Yuanliang was able to successfully survive in the two major forces of the Xisluo Empire and the Tanghe 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 military and political envoy of the Northwest County, has seen Lord Sun. Su Qin was neither humble nor arrogant.

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

"As soon as Master Li returned to the northwest, he heard that Lord Sun was sick and entrusted Su Qin to come to visit him. 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 adults' illnesses, and it was specially brought by Lord Li to Su Qin." ”

"Medicine and medicine don't die of disease, Buddha is destined to be a person, and my lord thanked Lord Li for his concern on behalf of Sun. Sun Yuanliang shook his head and replied meaningfully.

"Why did your lord say this? Now that your adult is in the prime of life, it is a good time to display his skills and make contributions, how can he have such an idea?" Su Qin also went up the line and asked pretendedly.

"Master Su smiled, Sun is over fifty years old, his health has been good and bad recently, and his energy is no better than before, and he wants to tell Lord 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 able to be idle, and I don't know if Lord Li can allow Sun to return to his hometown?" Sun Yuanliang glanced at Su Qin, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

"Lord Sun is serious, Lord Li has always admired Lord Sun for maintaining the integrity of my Tang clan for decades, and in such a harsh environment, he has always admired Yinchuan, the inherent territory of my Tang River Empire, and praised you many times. Su Qin nodded and said.

"Oh?" Sun Yuanliang was surprised, he didn't expect Li Wufeng to have such an evaluation of himself.

"There is absolutely no lie, Master Li has said many times that Yinchuan Prefecture was in a complex and harsh environment at that time, as long as it could do its 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 situation or the opinions of people who do not know the details of the DPRK, it cannot be regarded as a historical conclusion. Su Qin said word by word, his tone was very serious, he knew that Sun Yuanliang was very sensitive to how everyone viewed this matter, especially how Li Wufeng looked at this matter twenty years ago.

Sun Yuanliang was shocked, he didn't expect Li Wufeng to have such courage and dare to comment on the scene 20 years ago in front of his subordinates, it was the conclusion made by His Majesty the Emperor of the current empire himself, for which he had to bear huge mental pressure in the past 20 years, which was also one of the main reasons for his poor mental health and premature aging.

"Lord Li, doesn't you think that Sun Mou is colluding with foreign enemies to commit treason and surrender to the enemy to cut off the claimed male?" Sun Yuanliang asked again after he settled down.

That's not true. To look at a thing is first of all to look at its essence, not at its form. Su Qin said with a smile: "Collusion with foreign enemies to commit treason? Yinchuan Mansion has not become a part of the Sislo Empire nor has it fallen into the clutches of nomads, so how can Yinchuan Mansion be a part of the northwest county of the Tang River Empire, and the decrees of the Tang River Empire are still in force.

Su Qin's words made Sun Yuanliang, whose face had been uncertain, 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 soil in the name of a traitorous and rebellious minister, and now he can get a seat of enlightenment from Mr., which can be regarded as sweeping away the grievances of 20 years. I think back then, the old man governed this Yinchuan Mansion 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 made an appointment and dismissal order, and it was just a matter of dismissal, and I was replaced by an official who was removed from his post for embezzlement of public funds, and that person also had an unsavory deal with the Siathrows, I petitioned, but no one paid attention to it, and I saw that the land that I had worked so hard to build was going 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. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Yuanliang let out a long breath, his eyes looked at the distance of the door, as if he was remembering the glory and pain of the day, and after a long time, he said: "Needless to say, everyone knows about the future." Lord Su, since you represent Lord Li today, I will officially propose to you to return to your hometown, and everything in this Yinchuan Mansion will naturally be handled by Lord Li, but I want to make a final suggestion. ”

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

"At the moment, the Sithroes are eyeing each other, and my unsuccessful brothers have always been in cahoots with them, and I am very worried that they will do something rebellious during my illness, and I would like to ask Lord Li to immediately send troops into Yinchuan to temporarily take over the defense of Yinchuan Prefecture, so as to avoid accidents. In addition, I would also like to recommend to Lord Li that the city guard of Yinchuan Mansion be succeeded by Zhou Tinggui to ensure the stability of Yinchuan. Sun Yuanliang's tone was very firm and peaceful.

"My lord!" Zhou Tinggui stood up in surprise.

"Tinggui, Master Li is a master who can be trusted, I am old, this world belongs to young people, follow Master Li well. Sun Yuanliang patted Zhou Tinggui's shoulder and smiled.

Su Qin also said cheerfully: "We have already heard of Lord Zhou's talent, and I bring Lord Li to agree that Lord Zhou Tinggui will take on the position of the new city guard of Yinchuan Prefecture. ”

"Very good, Mr. Su, then please go and convey Master Li immediately, and ask him to send a large army to Yinchuan 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 Sithro intervention, the situation will be difficult to control. Sun Yuanliang said seriously and with some regret.

"Okay, then I'll send someone to Qingyang to inform Lord Li immediately, I hope you don't see this unpleasant scene. Su Qin also sensed the urgency of the matter, Sun Yuanliang must have sensed something in such an eagerness, maybe the army of the Sithroes was already on the way south.
