Chapter 249 Qin Sheng's Adventure
Hainan County, Panyu, West District of the Main City
After hearing the news that the war in Liaodong was about to break out, Ji Wuyin became a little worried about the old man in Liaoxi County.
Then he received a letter from that old man. When he opened it, he couldn't believe what he saw. The old man actually said that he wanted to personally visit the Xianbei grassland? And he was going to Shengle, the capital at the center of Xianbei power!
What does that old man want to do? What on earth does he want to do? Is he going to die?
Isn't he a coward? If war were about to break out in Liaodong, he would have already fled. When has he ever been so desperate?
Also, this old guy is really bad. He still said at this time that if he unfortunately died, he hoped he could go north to collect his body and bring it back to the Li tribe for burial!
He didn't care about his own life, but he still wanted to drag me north? What kind of lord was he that was worth risking his life for?
Is it the Qin family's heir? Is Qin Heng so charming?
Not only did Xue Guangxian plunge into it himself, he also wanted to betray his good friend!
Ji Wuyin knew that he had always been on the mind of this old man, but he didn't know why he was so obsessed with it. Would selling himself make him rich or something?
He decided to wait and see, with the current explosive situation in Liaodong County, to see what kind of trouble that old man and his new master could stir up!
An official road in a county of Youbeiping County
The brothers Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Mingzhi took advantage of the time when the main force was resting and accompanied their mother Jiang to secretly find Yang Wei, Wu Ren and other people in charge to ask about their doubts.
Jiang asked, "Captain Yang, why are you walking so much slower these days?"
Yang Wei pondered for a moment and decided not to hide it from them. "Lord Lu sent a letter saying there is some trouble in Houcheng and he is dealing with it."
Hearing this, Jiang asked worriedly, "What trouble?"
Because they were walking on the official road all the way, when they rested, they just stayed near the village and didn't communicate much with others. In addition, Youpingbei County and Liaodong County were a bit far apart, so they didn't know what was happening in Liaodong County.
"Madam, don't worry. Lord Lu said that this trouble is already being dealt with. It should be resolved by the time we arrive at Houcheng."
They are now in Youbeiping County, which was Liaoxi County in the past, and further ahead was Liaodong County.
"During this time, we can slow down and move through it leisurely."
When Jiang heard him say this, although she was worried about her husband, daughter, and son-in-law's family who were far away in Liaodong County, she also knew that all they could do at this time was to obey his arrangements and not cause them any trouble.
Xianbei capital, Shengle
Tuoba Xun had received such an important task as negotiation, and was thinking about who to bring with him so that he could complete this task perfectly.
At this time, Dugu Zhong, Helan Yan and He Ximing caught up.
"Grand Prince, count me as a member of the negotiation team." Gu Duzhong wanted to join in. He wanted to see the audacious Houcheng County Magistrate!
Helan Yan continued, "I'm going too!"
He Ximing refused to be outdone, "And me!"
Looking at the few people, Tuoba Xun accepted it and said, "Let me be frank. You can follow me, but I will take charge of everything during the negotiation. You cannot make decisions on your own."
On the other side, Xue Xu was doing the final work of checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.
The Xianbei negotiation team had set off, and they could slowly withdraw. The subsequent progress would depend on Houcheng. They also had little money left, only three top-grade gems.
Before leaving, Xue Xu gave Wu Xiguang a letter and told him that the letter could not be opened until two days later.
Wu Yuguang used Xue Xu's words to persuade Prince Tuoba Xun to change his strategy regarding Tuoba Lian's arrest.
Tuoba Xun listened and did as he was told, and obviously, the results were remarkable.
Wu Xiguang had made great contributions and was well-regarded by Tuoba Xun. This time, Tuoba Xun went to Houcheng for negotiations and took him with him.
Just when Xue Xu and others were about to quietly leave Shengle, the head of the pawnbroking company they had been cooperating with came to them.
"We can put you in touch with Qiumulingfang, the second-in-command of the Khan. Would you like to meet him?"
"Who? Who are you talking about?" Xue Xu felt that he had heard wrongly.
After the other party repeated it again, Xue Xu stopped talking. He really didn't expect that they were about to retreat quietly, but there was such an unexpected surprise.
Qin Sheng also heard it. Another Second Steward? He couldn't help but wonder, are they arguing with the Second Steward?
Xue Xu glanced at him. This guy didn't understand that there are opportunities only where there is competition for interests.
The anxious head of the dental clinic asked, "Hey, do you guys want to meet that guy or not?"
"How about you wait outside the gate and we discuss it and then give you the answer?" Xue Ruo said, and directly stuffed a gem into the other party's hand.
The head of the dental clinic had no objection to taking the gem.
After the head of the pawnbroker business left, Xue Xu was in a dilemma.
He had a plan, a strategy of creating confusion. He hadn't thought of it before because he hadn't had the opportunity, but now the head of the pawnbrokers had given him the opportunity, which he could implement through Qiumuling, the second-in-command of Tuoba Khan.
He and his wife both felt that Tuoba Khan was a shrewd and ambitious grassland overlord. However, his ambitions were well hidden. Over the years, he had only harassed the Dali border and seemed to have no intention of moving south to dominate the heartland of the Central Plains.
He planned to use Qiumulingfang to give Tuoba Khan some advice.
Xue Xu could see that the Sixth Young Master's wife had the intention of seizing Houcheng, and this negotiation was the key.
But he felt that even if they successfully passed this level, the next step would still be difficult. They needed too much time to develop. And the Xianbei on the side was a force that hindered their development, a force that could not be underestimated.
Once this plan is implemented, combined with the upcoming negotiations, it will shock Tuoba Khan and at least serve as a warning to the enemy, thus winning Houcheng a few years of golden time for stable development.
However, this would be tantamount to provoking Tuoba Khan, and they would face great danger.
Xue Xu's eyes fell on Qin Sheng. The Sixth Young Master's wife liked him very much, and he had to bring him back safely.
But it would be a pity to give up such a good opportunity.
Xue Xu looked at Qin Sheng again and decided to ask for his opinion.
After he whispered his plan to Qin Sheng, he finally gave the choice to Qin Sheng, "You say, should we meet this person or not?"
"Why are you asking me?" Qin Sheng was puzzled. "Hasn't it been you who made the decisions along the way?"
"Because of this sight, our group will be in great danger." After saying that, Xue Xu shook his head regretfully, "Forget it, let's disappear." It was too dangerous, and he tried hard to suppress his greed.
However, this relationship can be maintained. Xue Xu plans to give two more gems to the head of the dental clinic so that they can maintain this relationship well. Maybe they can use them in the future.
Instead, Qin Sheng said, "See you!"
Mr. Xue said that if they succeeded this time, they could achieve great results. At least his wife wouldn't have to worry about the Xianbei people watching from the sidelines.
If they work harder, their wives will have an easier time later on, so let's do it!
That night, Xue Xu went to see Qiu Muling and came back, and the last three top-grade gems were used up.
As soon as he came back, he urged Qin Sheng and others, "Let's go! Let's go quickly!"
"Don't pack your things, don't take anything with you, just retreat!" There is no time to waste!
