A few days later, the Han army surrendered, and Neishi Teng brought 100,000 Qin soldiers into Han.
Xin Zheng City.
The original residents of Xinzheng stood on both sides of Xinzheng Street, guarded by hundreds of Shadow Secret Guards. They looked at the west gate with sorrowful expressions.
When Neishteng appeared on the street, the hundreds of Shadow Secret Guards cupped their hands and shouted,""Welcome, General."
Neishiteng was slightly stunned by the scene in front of him. The soldiers behind him were also a little stunned.
Why were there so many Koreans here?
Did they not escape?
Neishi Teng looked around at the Han people. They looked at Neishi Teng and the Qin army with fear in their eyes.
"This is?" Neishiteng asked a Shadow Secret Guard as he sat on his warhorse.
The secret guard looked at the Han people around him and understood. He cupped his hands to Neishi Teng and said,"Daren will tell General about this matter. Daren has already arranged a banquet in the city to welcome General.”
Neishiteng nodded and immediately dismounted. He said to the assistant general behind him,"Wang Shan, take the soldiers and find a place to rest. Remember, don't spare our lives.”
"Yes, I accept your orders."
"Let's go." Neishi Teng nodded at the shadow guard.
The Shadow Secret Guard walked in front while Neishteng walked behind. As he walked, he looked around and sized up these elite black armored soldiers that he had never seen before. The more he looked, the more shocked he became.
"General, we're here." The shadow guard's voice called Neishiteng back from his trance. He looked up at the building in front of him.
"Violet Orchid Pavilion." Neishiteng looked at the plaque and read it out. He was a little surprised. Wasn't this the famous land of romance in Han Country?
To actually choose such a place…Interesting.
Neishteng pushed open the door and entered. He saw a table in the center of the hall with delicious food and wine on it. What attracted Neishteng's attention was the person sitting beside the table.
"General Nesten, nice to meet you.”Su Ying, who was currently drinking, turned his head and stood up as he smiled. He was wearing an ancient green robe that was transformed from a spiritual robe. His black hair was scattered, and he had an immortal aura. He was delicate and indifferent, just like a banished immortal.
"Left Protector, I've long heard of your name. I've finally met you today. As the rumors say, you're indeed handsome and have an extraordinary temperament.”Neishi Teng cupped his hands at Su Ying and walked towards him with a smile.
" No, no, please sit, General." Su Ying waved his sleeve and greeted him with a smile.
Nesten sat down opposite him.
"It's tough in the army and the march is tiring. I've specially prepared some delicacies for General to welcome him.”Su Ying looked at the dishes and fine wine on the table and laughed.
"Thank you, thank you for your trouble.”Neishi Teng said with a smile. "I'm almost in the middle of my life and have fought dozens of battles, but none of them were as easy as today's attack on Korea. It's all thanks to the Left Protector that I was able to take Xin Zheng City without losing a single soldier.”He shook his head and sighed.
The attack on Korea was the biggest battle he had ever participated in, but it was also the easiest.
"It's just a risky move.”Su Ying smiled and picked up the wine jug to pour a cup for Neishi Teng." Compared to these, does General not have anything to ask?”
"You can tell me?"
"That depends on what the general asks.”
Neishi Teng looked at Su Ying. Su Ying had a faint smile on his face, and his eyes were deep, making it impossible for others to see what he was thinking.
"I've never seen these black-armored soldiers before.”Neishi Teng raised his wine glass and took a sip as he asked Su Ying.
"Shadow Guard, that's their name.”Su Ying looked at Neishi Teng and said," This is their first mission. It's normal that you haven't heard of it before.”
" Shadow Secret Guard…" Neishteng memorized this name in his heart.
"Why didn't the civilians in the city escape?”Nesten asked.
"It's not that they don't want to escape, but I've sent secret guards to seal off the surrounding forest and not allow anyone to leave.”Su Ying raised his wine cup and took a sip. "This is also something I want to discuss with the general. I want to bring these civilians and those surrendered Han soldiers back to Qin.”
"Left Protector must be joking. Although Han Country is small, there are still hundreds of thousands of people. Even if Qin Country can afford to feed so many people, there is no place to settle them.”Nesten shook his head and said,
。
"Who said there's no place to settle down?" Su Ying smiled slightly. He picked up his chopsticks and moved the meat from one dish to another in front of Neishiteng. Then, he moved some meat from the other dish to this dish. The two dishes were still the same, but the contents of the dishes were different.
Neishiteng came to a sudden realization and nodded at Su Ying."The Left Protector wants to move a portion of the Qin people to various parts of Han while separating the Han people and letting them fuse with Great Qin.”
The more Nesten spoke, the brighter his eyes became and the louder his voice became.
Su Ying smiled and nodded." As long as Your Majesty can reduce taxes as an excuse, there is no need to worry about people coming to the old land of Han.”
Nesten slapped his thigh and nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with joy."In this way, we don't have to worry about the Han people's desire to restore the country and resist. We can also increase the population of our Qin country by hundreds of thousands, and the youth will also increase greatly.”
"In that case, how about I give this credit to the general?”Su Ying said with a smile. Neishi Teng was stunned when he heard this and looked at him in confusion.
"Actually, I have a private matter that I would like to ask General for help with.”Su Ying's smile faded as he looked at Neishi Teng with a serious expression.
"Please speak." Neishi Teng sat upright.
"I don't wish for King Han to die." Su Ying looked at Neishi Teng and said seriously.
"…Eh?" Neishi Teng revealed a surprised expression and looked at Su Ying in confusion.
"I captured him for the public good, but I didn't want him to die for personal reasons.”Su Ying lifted his wine cup, looked at the clear and mellow wine inside, and slowly said.
Nesten was silent for a moment, then said,""Destroying a country without killing its king…I'm afraid there will be future troubles. There will be a backlash in the court.”
"How about a favor and a favor from me?”Su Ying put down his wine glass and looked straight at Neishi Teng." As long as General helps me with this."”
Neishiteng was silent for a moment again. He lowered his head and poured himself a cup to drink. After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he looked up at Su Ying and nodded."Alright, I'll do as the Left Protector says. I'll help you with this, but it can only be Han Wangan. I can't do anything for the others.”
Su Ying smiled and nodded." Of course. Come, let's drink."”
After the two of them drank two pots of Peach Blossom Drunken Wine and finished the delicacies, Neishi Teng left. After Neishi Teng left, Violet Girl and Nongyu came down from upstairs and walked to Su Ying's side.
"Did he agree?" Violet Maiden looked at Su Ying and asked.
"The world is bustling with activity for the sake of profit. Although Neishi Teng is quite honest and loyal, he is no different from the rest of the world in terms of the great benefits of blessing future generations.”Su Ying said as he played with his wine cup. His eyes were clear and deep, as if he could see the truth of the world." A suggestion and a favor from me are enough to make him take a risk."”
"Is it really worth it to pay so much?”Violet Girl's charming eyes stared at Su Ying and asked," She won't know about this. Besides, she only has hatred for you in her heart now…"
Su Ying was silent. The image of Hong Lian's innocent and cute face, her tone, and her demeanor appeared in his mind…
"Perhaps it's not worth it, but I will do it. I don't want her to know, I just want her to feel at ease.”
Su Ying put down his wine cup and turned to look at Violet Maiden and Nongyu. After saying that, he reached out and grabbed their delicate hands."Am I being greedy? I already have you guys by my side. I still have her in my heart.”
Nongyu looked shy and obediently allowed him to hold her delicate hand.
As for Violet Maiden, she struggled for a moment but did not break free. She glared at Su Ying coquettishly and stopped struggling.
"It's already late autumn and winter is coming soon. When the next year comes, the people coming and going in Xinzheng City will be Qin people who speak Qin accent.”Su Ying looked at the falling leaves outside the window and softly said.
"Year after year, flowers bloom and wither. The world is unpredictable, and things remain the same.”
