Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 12 Reversal

"My lord, someone from Qingyang has come to visit you." Zhou Tinggui looked worriedly at Sun Yuanliang, the city guard who was lying on the hospital bed, and looked at his thin face, feeling sad for no reason, working day and night , sandwiched between the two major forces, with the increasing age, the city guard's physical condition is far worse than before. Now, when he falls ill, there is almost no one in the huge city guard mansion who can help him except himself.

"Oh?" Opening some dull eyes, Sun Yuanliang's face was flushed, and with the support of the maid beside him, Sun Yuanliang sat up forcefully, "Tinggui, you have worked hard these days, let me look at mine. I'm afraid my body will have a hard time getting through this year."

"My lord, why did you say that? You just caught a cold occasionally, and you can recover after a little rest." Zhou Tinggui frowned and said, "If your lord really wants to go back to your hometown to recuperate, you can apply to the imperial court." Zhou Tinggui deeply understands his city guard's longing to go back to his hometown to recuperate. Decades of ups and downs have made him exhausted, and the sharp edges and corners of his youth have long been worn away by the ruthless reality.

"Application? Why don't Situ Mingyue peel me off?" Sun Yuanliang regained his energy a bit, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Sun Yuanliang's mouth, "He has been waiting for this day."

Zhou Tinggui was speechless for a moment. Both Sun Yuanliang and him were the main parties involved in the Yinchuan Incident 20 years ago. However, he was inevitably charged with the crime of treason and seeking glory. This has always been an eternal pain in the heart of the city guard who has always regarded himself as a traditional Tang people, and it is also a huge stone weighing on his heart.

"Twenty years have passed, why should your lord be so fussy? What's more, Situ Mingyue hasn't done anything to us in the past twenty years?" Zhou Tinggui deliberately aroused Sun Yuanliang's ambition.

"Yes, even though 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 dimmed, "But So what? The old man is getting old, and he just wants to go back to his hometown and live a peaceful life."

Zhou Tinggui secretly sighed in his heart, the city guard no longer had the pride of the past, and the passage of time had turned a famous general of the empire into an ordinary old man. Said: "My lord, Qingyang Li Wufeng sent someone to visit you."

"Well, I see, everyone who should come will come." Sun Yuanliang's face was flat, but his eyes were extremely far-reaching, "I think the people from Sithrow will also send people to come?"

"My lord, the special envoy of General Kidman from Nuremberg has also arrived in Yinchuan City, and now he is going to General Yuanhui." Zhou Tinggui replied with difficulty.

"Hmph, it seems that the people of Sithrow see the situation very clearly!" Sun Yuanliang has recovered his usual majesty. Although he looks a little haggard, his mental state has improved a lot. Aroused his fighting spirit.

"Go ask Master Li's envoy, and tell me that the old man will meet him in the meeting study." Sun Yuanliang got off the bed with his clothes on, and signaled the little maid next to him to dress him.

"My lord, is your body``````?" Zhou Tinggui only asked one question, seeing that the city guard frowned, he stopped talking and went out.

"It should be a break. It has been twenty years. I, Sun Yuanliang, have carried this reputation of traitorousness and glory for twenty years. I have had enough." Looking at Zhou Tinggui's back when he went out, Sun Yuanliang muttered to himself. .

Stepping into the gate of the Chengshou Mansion, Su Qin felt a different taste. All of these seemed so old, and everything was in the original Tang architectural style. Even many places were damaged, but still You can see the style of this building decades ago.

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

Su Qin nodded. He knew that this unattractive middle-aged man was Sun Yuanliang's number one think tank in Yinchuan Mansion. must.

Entering the hall, the old man with his back to the door suddenly turned around. On a face full of vicissitudes, only the eyes showed the extraordinary spirit of this man, but the slightly bowed back also showed that the old man was a little bit old. Feeling overwhelmed.

"Su Qin, the military and political governor of Northwest County, has met Mr. Sun." Su Qin greeted him neither humble nor overbearing.

"Master Su, please sit down." Sun Yuanliang's expression was extraordinarily calm, as if he was entertaining an old friend.

"As soon as Mr. Li returned to the northwest, he heard that Mr. Sun was sick, so he specially entrusted Su Qin to come and visit him." Su Qin showed a sincere smile on his face, and presented the things he brought, "This is the birth certificate. The golden shells from the green sea swamp have a good effect on the adults' illnesses, and Lord Li specially asked Su Qin to bring them."

"Medicine and medicine will not kill the sick, Buddha crosses a destined person, my lord has thanked Lord Li for his concern on behalf of Sun." Sun Yuanliang shook his head and replied with deep meaning.

"My lord, why did you say that? Right now, your lord is in his prime, and it's a good time to display his skills and make contributions. How could he have such an idea?" Su Qin also followed suit and asked pretendingly.

"Master Su laughed, Mr. Sun is already in his fifties, his health has been going up and down recently, and his energy is not as good as before. I have never been idle, and I don’t know if Mr. Li will allow Mr. Sun to return home?” Sun Yuanliang gave Su Qin a sideways look, and took a sip from his teacup.

"My lord Sun is serious. My lord Li has always admired my lord Sun's ability to maintain the integrity of our Tang family's sons and daughters over the past few decades. Under such a harsh environment, we have always respected Yinchuan, the inherent territory of our Tanghe Empire. , have praised you many times." Su Qin nodded and said.

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

"It's absolutely true. Mr. Li has said many times that the Yinchuan Prefecture was in a complicated and harsh environment at that time. As long as you can try your best to keep the territory without losing it, it will be a great achievement. The opinions of those who don’t know the details in the court cannot be regarded as historical conclusions.” Su Qin said every word to the end, with a very serious tone, and he knew how Sun Yuanliang viewed this matter from everyone, especially how Li Wufeng viewed this matter from 20 years ago. Very sensitive.

Sun Yuanliang was shocked. He did not expect that Li Wufeng would have such boldness, and would dare to comment on the scene twenty years ago in front of his subordinates. That was the conclusion made by His Majesty the Emperor himself. He has had to bear tremendous mental pressure in the past 20 years, which is also one of the main reasons for his premature aging.

"Master Li, don't you think that Sun is colluding with foreign enemies to treason and surrender to the enemy to rule the separatist regime?" Sun Yuanliang asked again after he collected himself.

"This statement is wrong. When looking at a thing, you must first look at its essence, not its form." Su Qin smiled and said: "Collusion with foreign enemies and treason? Yinchuan Mansion has neither become part of the Heathrow Empire nor If you haven’t fallen into the clutches of the nomads, how can you treason and turn to the enemy? Yinchuan Mansion is still part of the Tanghe Empire’s Northwest County, and the Tanghe Empire’s government orders are still in force, and you, Mr. Sun, didn’t say you were alone, so how can you separate yourself and rule the roost?”

Su Qin's words made Sun Yuanliang, whose face had been gloomy and uncertain, suddenly feel enlightened, and his mood immediately improved a lot. Even Zhou Tinggui, who was sitting by the side, had to sigh secretly for Su Qin's eloquence.

"This old man is old, and he doesn't want to go to the soil with the name of a traitor. Now that I can be enlightened by my husband, it can be regarded as a cleansing of 20 years of grievances. I think back then, the old man managed this Yinchuan mansion in a smooth manner, and the common people Live and work in peace and contentment, but the imperial court will dismiss me as soon as the appointment and dismissal order is issued. The dismissal is nothing but the official who replaced me because of embezzlement of public funds. Besides, that person also had a shady deal with the Sithrow people. I will write a letter The petition was ignored, and seeing that the land that I worked so hard to build would be occupied by villains, I was really unwilling to do so, so I angered the villain, but I didn't expect that it would lead to a catastrophe."

Speaking of this, Sun Yuanliang let out a long breath, looking at the distance of the door, as if remembering the glory and pain of that day ~IndoMTL.com~ After a long time, he said: "Don't talk about the future, everyone I understand. Lord Su, since you are representing Lord Li today, I will formally propose to you to return home, and everything in Yinchuan Mansion will naturally be handled by Lord Li, but I would like to make one last suggestion."

Seeing the firm look in the other party's eyes, Su Qin said politely, "Please tell me."

"Right now, the Heathrows are staring at them, and my ineffective brother has always been in cahoots with them. I am very worried that they will do some treasonous things during my sick days. I would like to ask Master Li to send troops immediately Stationed in Yinchuan, temporarily take over the defense of Yinchuan Prefecture to avoid accidents. In addition, I also want to recommend to Mr. Li that the city guard of Yinchuan Prefecture should 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 wise master who can be entrusted to. I am old, and this world belongs to young people. Follow Master Li well." Sun Yuanliang patted Zhou Tinggui on the shoulder and smiled.

Su Qin also said straightforwardly: "We have heard about Mr. Zhou's talent for a long time. I brought Mr. Li to agree that Mr. Zhou Tinggui will be the new post of Yinchuan City Guard."

"Very good, Mr. Su, then please go and convey to Mr. Li immediately, and ask him to send a large army to Yinchuan as soon as possible. I am worried that I may not be able to control my younger brother now. He is the leader of the First Security Division. Commander of the division, if the Sithrow people intervene again, the situation will be very difficult to control." Sun Yuanliang said solemnly and somewhat regretfully.

"Okay, then I'll send someone to Qingyang to inform Master Li immediately, hoping not to see this unpleasant scene." Su Qin also felt the urgency of the matter, and Sun Yuanliang must have noticed something in his eagerness. The Siluo army is already on its way to the south.
