"The state pastor is really generous, if he says that if he wants two counties or three counties, he will agree to it."

Su Qi'an's words, Li Kang said with a smile, "Hehe, how much land Su Hou wants to have, it depends on the value paid by Su Hou, after all, all transactions are based on equivalent exchange, and this truth Su Hou should know better than Benzhou."

"That's natural, but Lord Zhou Mu wants to exchange the land of a county for the Dongshan Army in the hands of Ben Hou, as well as the belonging, Ben Hou just wants to say, Lord Zhou Mu, are you worthy!"

Li Kang, who was still smiling just now, immediately changed his face, "What... What?"

He subconsciously spoke, looking at Su Qi'an with his eyes, obviously not expecting Su Qi'an to say such a thing.

This didn't take him in his eyes at all, there was no respect at all, and the kind conversation between the two sides just now seemed to be nothing more than Su Qi'an's deliberate washing of him.

"If you don't understand, Ben Hou can say it again, if you want Ben Hou to belong, you don't have this qualification."

"Ben Hou's mind is not so big, he just wants to take care of his own one-third of an acre, as for anything else, it has nothing to do with Ben Hou, and Ben Hou doesn't want to understand, so what the state pastor wants this time, I'm afraid he will return empty-handed."

Li Kang's face changed, obviously angry by Su Qi'an's words just now, but his emotional patience was okay, and he didn't break out, his hands were clenched.

Wheezing, after a moment, Li Kang's clenched palm was released, his face returned to calm, and he said softly.

"Okay, since Su Hou is so arrogant, Benzhou is no longer embarrassed, but there is a sentence that Su Hou should remember, don't think that if you sit on a county, you really think that you can be unscrupulous in Jiaozhou, and sometimes you have to keep a low profile, otherwise one day the boat capsized and drowned, and someone else would have to collect the body."

Li Kang's threat was self-evident, but Su Qi'an didn't mean to be angry, and said softly, "Zhou Mu's words, Ben Hou accepted them, the same, these words were given to the state pastor as they were, I hope that the state pastor will remember that sometimes the boat capsizes is likely to be a big ship like Zhou Mu you, sending off guests!"

After saying this, Su Qi'an raised his hand and signaled to invite someone.

Some words have been brought to Su Qi'an, Su Qi'an is a typical oil and salt not entered, and it is not interesting for Li Kang to continue to stay.

Immediately got up, snorted coldly, and turned to leave.

He is a state pastor, and any official, priest, or even patriarch in Jiaozhou must be polite when they see him.

But today he was deflated here by Su Qi'an, if it weren't for the fear of Su Qi'an's royal status and the fact that His Royal Highness the Ninth is here, with Li Kang's temperament, I am afraid that Su Qi'an's territory would have been lifted long ago.

Although the two sides did not completely tear their faces, the relationship has deteriorated further.

The reason why Li Kang wanted to recruit Su Qi'an during his visit this time was because of the war between Su Qi'an and the two elders a few days ago.

The 50,000 indigenous army, under the leadership of the two elders, not only did not take Su Qi'an, but even became prisoners, and even became prisoners, and finally signed a contract with Su Qi'an.

The two sides kept their promises and did not invade each other from now on, which seems to be nothing, but in Jiaozhou, for so many years, he is the only one who has signed this kind of contract.

Now with Su Qi'an, Li Kang's heart is somewhat uneasy.

I thought that I could take advantage of the war between the two sides to take advantage of the fisherman, but I didn't expect that in the end, these two foxes actually gave them this set, they coexist peacefully, and without thinking about it, you can guess that there must be some kind of consensus between the two sides, or even cooperation, in private.

It's a bit dangerous, even though the state envoy had told him about bugs and birds.

But the changes in this bug are too big, so big that Li Kang will feel that Su Qi'an, a bug, will sooner or later develop to the point of threatening his position.

Therefore, in order to probe the bottom, Li Kang came directly without coming in person, but he also saw that Li Kang had a solid closed-door soup.

suffered a loss this time, but it confirmed the necessity of Li Kang's visit this time.

The negotiation between the two sides broke up unhappily, and Li Kang was not annoyed

After he went back, he had a new adjustment arrangement for Su Qi'an, and it was absolutely impossible to indulge like before.

Li Kang left the county government, took the escort he accepted, and left directly, without staying in the county town, let alone living in the city, and after a while, he left the county town of Qingcheng.

This scene was all seen by Wu Yong, and after seeing Li Kang leave, Wu Yong turned around and walked into the county mansion.

After seeing Su Qi'an, Wu Yong didn't have to think about it, he could guess that the conversation between the two sides would definitely break up unhappily.

Without waiting for Wu Yong to speak, Su Qi'an informed him of his conversation with Li Kang one by one.

Wu Yong's face changed, although he was prepared, but he didn't expect Li Kang to come this time, and he actually wanted Su Qi'an to take the initiative to surrender?

However, from another point of view, it can only show that Su Qi'an's current strength threatens Li Kang's status to some extent.

Otherwise, according to Li Kang's temperament, he would have sent troops to forcibly surrender, and it would be impossible to run in person and make a deal with Su Qi'an.

Wu flashed with his eyes and said, "Sir, Li Kang broke up unhappily this time, and after he goes back, he will definitely exert his strength and let people suppress Mr., which is not a good thing for us."

"Why don't we take advantage of the fact that now, we will send troops to intercept and take down Li Kang..."

Wu Yong's proposal was very bold, but if it was implemented, it was not impossible, but Su Qi'an refused.

He shook his head and said, "Although Li Kang and I broke up unhappily, we haven't completely torn our faces, and if we do, I won't let him go."

"And he really thought he only brought a hundred or so guards with him? If we send troops to do it, it is estimated that we will fall into his hands and directly attack him, and with our current strength, we will not be able to confront him."

"We are not Li Kang's opponents, in the same way, Li Kang is very jealous of Ben Hou, Ben Hou is a member of the royal family, he wants to take Ben Hou, he must have a reason to send troops, Ben Hou has been in Jiaozhou for more than a year, he is afraid that he has been waiting for Ben Hou to make a mistake, but unfortunately he can't get Ben Hou's handle."

"As for suppression, it's nothing more than playing with Qingcheng County, cutting off all external ties with Qingcheng County, or letting bandits from other counties come to harass them, and then spend a lot of money to invite assassins to assassinate them."

"These, for Ben Hou, there is nothing to worry about, as long as Li Kang has not officially sent troops to the battle, the rest is just petty theft."

Wu Yong nodded, arched his hand at Su Qi'an, and hurriedly said, "I see, it's because the subordinates are not thoughtful, and the subordinates have been taught."

"For Li Kang, for the sake of prudence, let Tong Zhan take people to investigate and investigate, and the focus of our next work should be on managing the entire Qingcheng County to lay a foundation for the future troops."

Wu Yong's eyes flashed, with a little admiration in his eyes, this time he was a little short-sighted, not as far-reaching as Su Qi'an thought.

Think about it, as long as Li Kang does not lead troops to the battle, other conspiracies and tricks are just petty theft for them.

As long as Qingcheng County is well managed, it is not only the Dongshan Army that is strong, but the people in each county, and all the people are the real beneficiaries.

"The subordinates understand, everything will be done according to the gentleman's wishes." Wu Yong nodded, then turned to leave.

On the other hand, on Li Kang's side, about ten miles away from the county town, when he passed through a forest, suddenly, a team of scouts came out of the forest.

Dismounted, bowed to the carriage Li Kang was riding, and said, "Report to your lordship, we have not found any movement of troops in the county along the way."

Li Kang nodded, his eyes flashed, this time he underestimated Su Qi'an, he didn't expect this person to be fooled, if he was an ordinary person, most of them would not let go of this opportunity and sent troops to ambush.

Li Kang left the county town and deliberately slowed down halfway, just to use himself as bait and want to lure Su Qi'an to send troops to ambush, so that he would have the handle to send troops.

In the forest ahead, there are 10,000 state soldiers on standby, but this time it is a pity.

Listening to the report of the scouts under him, Li Kang waved his hand and signaled to retreat, but the kneeling scouts did not leave, Li Kang frowned slightly, and said in a low voice, "What else?"

"Back to your lordship, the state envoy has also arrived, and I have been waiting in the forest for half an hour, hoping to be summoned by my lordship.

The arrival of the state envoy made Li Kang a little surprised, and he did not discuss it with the state envoy when he visited the county town to do Su Qi'an this time.

It's not that he doesn't trust the state envoy, but the state envoy's previous indulgent policy towards Su Qi'an has made Li Kang a little dissatisfied by now. Look at the book

The harm caused by this kind of indulgence is already very clear to Li Kang by meeting Su Qi'an today.

This time when he returned to Zhou City, he planned to adjust this indulgent strategy and began to implement a high-pressure policy against Su Qi'an.

This time the state envoy suddenly came, and Li Kang could already guess what he was going to say, but Li Kang did not refuse to see him, waved his hand, and signaled the state envoy to come.

When the scout got the news, he immediately turned around and left, and after a while, the figure of the state envoy in Lin Zizhong appeared, and with Li Kang's permission, he got into the carriage.

The state envoy stayed in Li Kang's carriage for a long time, about half an hour, and no one knew the content of their conversation this time, but the henchmen on both sides could clearly feel a slight quarrel coming from the carriage.

This kind of quarrel is rare, and Li Kang has worked with the state envoy for more than ten years, and although there were disputes during this period, it definitely did not reach the point of such quarrels.

Obviously, the disagreement between the two sides reached a serious point, and the quarrel did not last long, and after a while, the car gradually calmed down again.

After another half a cup of tea, the envoy departed respectfully from the carriage, the wheels turned, and the carriage disappeared into the woods with the escort of his henchmen.

Only the state envoy and a few henchmen were left in the same place, watching the carriage disappear, the state envoy had not yet spoken, and the few henchmen behind him who were protecting him were the way.

"Lord Governor, it seems that this plan is not going well, our state pastor seems to distrust you, you see if you should withdraw in advance, after all, our plan is almost half completed, and how to develop next depends on the duel between Li Kang and Su Qi'an."

"You can't have any accidents, or we won't be able to explain to Your Highness."
