Chapter 228: Shou Loyalty and Not Loyalty
Although Li Tianzhao was already a king general, he was still very awake. The king general had a noble status, but he had no real power.
Shouzhong is the chief of the big city on the border. It is absolutely unreasonable to welcome each other at the city gate with their "friendship".
The enthusiastic smile on Shouzhong's face and the tone of concern for Shan Qianqi, he pulled Qianshan City out and said how deep their friendship was.
There is naturally a reason for these to be linked together.
Sitting upright in the main seat of the Great Palace Hall, Shan Qianqi felt that it was not new. She often made a fuss when she was a child and also worked as the Great Palace in Qianshan City.
However, because he was so earnest that he could have guarded the city like Zhong, Shan Qianqi realized the dignity of the wife of Wang General.
Li Tianzhao was in a hurry to see his parents, and he didn't want to come here. He just wanted Shouzhong not to know about his parents, so he was willing to take the initiative to give Shouzhong a chance to get close to them.
So Li Tianzhao asked everyone else to retreat, and then said to Shouzhong: "With my friendship with the Chief of the City, I really can't bear such kindness today. If the Chief of the City has anything to do, I might as well say it."
Shouzhong was not unfamiliar with Li Tianzhao's temper. At this time, he was not just annoying. He immediately replied: "The reputation of the king general, and he will have these kind of enthusiasm wherever he goes. The spontaneous kindness of the soldiers in the city, what does it have to do with me? But today, I really want to ask the king general."
Li Tianzhao drank tea, nodded, and signaled him to continue.
"The reputation of the king's general makes me think back on my past actions and deeply ashamed! In fact, when the king was the ten thousand generals, I already had the idea. But at that time, I was grateful for the kindness of the governor of Beifengzhou, and I couldn't bear to betray him. Now that the governor is gone, I have no worries. Today I sincerely beg for being under the king's general! From then on, the king's general will follow the orders of the guardian city!" Shouzhong suddenly said this, and Shan Qianqi couldn't help but lit up, but he didn't say anything because of this.
Li Tianzhao was not surprised. Shouzhong said this only to make him understand that his long-term plan for defending the city had been noticed by Shouzhong.
But the question is, how did he notice it?
Or is it that Shouzhong is just about being prepared for danger in times of peace, and the governor of Beifengzhou is no longer a general after his resurrection. The current situation of the Beifeng family is different. The two reasons combined to encourage Shouzhong to change his family?
Shouzhong stared at Li Tianzhao and quietly waited for his reply.
Li Tianzhao was silent for a long time, and Shan Qianqi couldn't help asking curiously: "Shou Zhongcheng is sincere, what is the king hesitating about?"
"It is certainly a good thing for the long-term surrender in the city." Li Tianzhao actually didn't want to agree, because he was still sure of protecting the future of the city. In other words, if Shu Zhong or not surrender, the people who belong to him will be in charge of the matter in the future. However, in the current situation, he has no reason to say no to refuse.
If someone takes the initiative to surrender, he keeps people out and spreads them. Isn’t it like telling others that the place he is targeting Li Tianzhao, who only seizes and does not accept surrender, is tantamount to forcing people to save themselves and fight back at all costs. As long as they fight, there will be deaths and injuries. Can the soldiers under Li Tianzhao understand the death caused by this? Will they understand?
They will inevitably feel that they can control the guardian city without fighting, but because of their own selfishness, Li Tianzhao insists on refusing to surrender to the death of unnecessary death.
Li Tianzhao asked himself that if he had changed his position with his warriors, and the important people around him died because of this, Tenth** would have thought so.
Although Li Tianzhao was reluctant, he had to have a reason to refuse Shuzhong's words, so he said: "It is a good thing that the Chief of the City is so respectful to the Chief of the City. But I don't know what the Chief of the City wants. If the Chief of the City is willing to join me, I can't let the Chief of the City give without gain. But if the Chief of the City asks for it, I don't have the ability to give it, so of course I dare not accept the Chief of the City."
"The guardian city is a place of fierce fighting. I have been here for many years. After a long battle, my achievements have not made much progress. I owe the king's huge achievements. I don't know when and when will I pay them back! Who else in the world has the ability to make the achievements of his soldiers make leaps and bounds? I was also infected by the king's general, and I felt the desire to win over ten thousand war generals, so I begged the king to fulfill his achievements!" Shouzhong said sincerely.
However, Li Tianzhao knew that these words were still hidden, so he asked: "Why can the city chief bear to be the position of the city chief? And he wants to be the general of ten thousand wars?"
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by General Wang. I have been in charge of the city for so many years and have always had many friendships with the city chiefs of all sizes. After becoming the general of Wan Zhan, I still became a good deputy governor, so I am ambitious. At that time, I will naturally leave the city chief to my own people under General Wang to take over." Shouzhong suddenly felt so humble, and Li Tianzhao couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"So that's it! The city chief is not thinking of the deputy governor, but the governor!" Li Tianzhao understood that the former governor of Beifengzhou is now a thousand war generals, and the one who has the most hope of being promoted to tens of thousands of war generals in the Beifeng family is Beifeng Qingyun, but her level is lower than Shouzhong.
"If there is such an opportunity, of course I want to work hard, but there are many competitors in this matter, especially Beifeng Qingyun is the ex-wife of Wang General. Of course, Wang General cannot favor me too much. I dare not expect that. It is just that I can be a good governor in the future, so I think it's good." Shouzhong said this, and Shan Qianqi was confused. She had not heard of Beifeng Qingyun's incident, but she did not explore it at this time.
"Since the city chief knows that I can't give you more care than others, how do you view the opportunity to compete for the position of governor?" Li Tianzhao was a little interested and listened. Shouzhongshi was very good at seizing opportunities, and dared to think and do it.
"The king asked, but he dared not answer!" Shouzhong immediately cheered up. He was very sure that Li Tianzhao would inevitably plan to defend the city. With Li Tianzhao's character, he could not be a person who could be controlled by Beifeng Qingyun, so it would be impossible to regard the interests of the Beifeng family very important.
He promised to give in to the guardian city in the future, and only Li Tianzhao helped him achieve his achievements soaring. What's the reason to reject him? For Li Tianzhao, it was a good thing that was beneficial but not harmful.
"The former governor of Beifengzhou fell from a thousand warriors at the sky level. If he wanted to be promoted to tens of thousands of warriors in the short term, unless he could be helped by the king. But the king had no friendship with him, but he had a reason to help Beifeng Qingyun. Beifeng Qingyun was determined to be the governor, so he would ask for help from Wang General. Seeing that her position as governor in the future, she would suddenly compete with the former governor again, she would never be willing to give in. In terms of achievements, she would definitely improve faster. The former governor was destined to be unable to win this point. His personal relationship with Wang General was not as good as Beifeng Qingyun, so Wang General would certainly not help him. In this way, he would hold the governor's
If you have a position, you have to buy time. First of all, you cannot take away Beifeng Qingyun. The only way is to help the son-in-law of the Beifeng family, who is now the governor, fight against Beifeng Qingyun and buy time for himself. Therefore, the Beifeng family will inevitably be in chaos in the future. It is difficult for outsiders to replace large clans like Beifeng family with deep roots. Only civil strife can give others the opportunity. Such opportunities are hard to come by. No matter who wins in the end, they can quickly unify the power of the Beifeng family and restore the situation to stability. At that time, there will be no way to shake it."
Shouzhong's vision is very vicious, and Li Tianzhao has to admire this guy's ability to seize the opportunity.
Having said that, Li Tianzhao couldn't find a reason to refuse to accept Shuzhong, but he had no reason to succeed in his heart.
Originally, he didn't care much about who would be the governor, but now he hoped that Beifeng Qingyun would become the leader. Although, in fact, the latter may not have any difference when he became the governor.
However, he just dislikes Shozhong.
Despite his disgust, Li Tianzhao could not write it on his face at this moment. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, many things that will protect the city here in the future will require the city chief to help you."
"I wish to serve the king!" Shouzhong was overjoyed and hurriedly said attentively to invite Li Tianzhao's parents over.
Shouzhong had known the news for a long time, and he only mentioned it now, just because he knew that Li Tianzhao had no good feelings for him, and was afraid that he would be misunderstood by Li Tianzhao. Now that the matter was finalized, it was his own people, so of course he had no reason to do anything that was not conducive to Li Tianzhao's parents.
At this moment, of course, only kindness will be given, and will not be misunderstood.
When Li Tianzhao saw their parents, they were in a good mood and introduced their past teammates one by one, and said that they would pass on their sword skills as soon as possible.
After Shan Qianqi greeted Li Tianzhao's parents, she found that they had just asked her a few words, but they were not enthusiastic. They didn't seem to like her very much.
Shouzhong heard that he had taught sword skills. Since he had been under Li Tianzhao's banner, he could learn a move according to the rules. Of course, he wanted to learn it early, so he quickly said: "There is a secret room for practice here, which is big and spacious, and the Lone King can use it at any time."
"Then let's go after the meal." Li Tianzhao deliberately did not mention the issue of Chuan Shouzhong's sword move, which made him anxious for a while.
During the meal, Shouzhong knew that Li Tianzhao didn't talk much, so he complimented Li Tianzhao's parents and asked them to be the protagonists of the banquet. Listening to them talking about the past battles, everyone else listened and echoed from time to time.
Chenpi suddenly came over and asked Li Tianzhao to speak next to him. The two left the seat and found a secluded place.
"What's the matter?"
Chen Pi sighed and said, "About your parents. These days, I have tested it from the side and talked with your father several times at night. I probably know their thoughts. So I think you should not be relatively too many for the time being. Sometimes, occasionally meet, eat and drink together, and slowly increase the number and duration of the relative times. Think about it, you are a king general and famous all over the world. Your memory of them is taught how to practice qigong when you were a child. But now, can they still teach you?"
