Memoirs of the Heavenly Khan

Chapter 83 It’s useless no matter who comes
Sizhou, Jiuyuan.

After Li Shuang came back, his second stop was Jiuyuan City, where he came to visit Wei Qingbin, the governor of Sizhou.

As an old Tianlong person, he was surprisingly nice to Li Shuang.

Taiping Village occupied 200,000 to 300,000 acres of farmland, but Wei Qingbin turned a blind eye and never caused any trouble.

On the contrary, he was much stricter towards the children of the Erzhu family.

Whenever any of the Erzhu family members committed a crime and fell into his hands, they would never have a good ending.

However, due to Wei Qingbin's background, qualifications and prestige, even Erzhu Rong did not dare to speak loudly to him.

At least, not now.

"Tianba, you've done a great job in Shuozhou!"

"No, it's all thanks to the Grand Commander. I'm just adding bricks and tiles!"

Wei Qingbin shook his head.

"How could I not know what kind of person Li Shengui is?"

Li Shuang raised his eyebrows, but heard Wei Qingbin continue:

"This kid stayed in Jiuyuan City for a night before heading south. I thought he had made some progress given his reputation, so I discussed military and political matters with him, but he still knew nothing. Now I know why Li Chong adopted you as his son."

I have to say that ginger is still spicy.

"Your retainer, Jia Sixie, was a capable man. He encouraged agriculture, comforted the people, and built water conservancy projects. In a short period of time, he brought order back to Sizhou from chaos. Although the land tax ended up in your pocket, fortunately you didn't use it for any other purpose."

Wei Qingbin suddenly came over and asked:

"Tell me honestly, how much did you get after defeating the Rouran?"

"There are only about 20,000 cattle and sheep, and more than 2,000 Rouran slaves!"

Wei Qingbin chuckled, as if he was looking at someone else's child.

"I think it's more than that, at least ten times more, not counting the gold and silver items and war horses!"

"There really aren't that many. How could you possibly have that much?"

"I really like the two war horses you gave me. I also know about the ones you gave to Erzhu Rong and Yuan Tianmu. These horses from the Western Regions are the most valuable treasures of the Rouran royal court. You can get them, and yet you dare say you don't have the ability to do it?"

"It's just a coincidence. The Rouran are not that easy to deal with!"

Seeing that the boy in front of him was not telling the truth and that he could not get anything out of him, Wei Qingbin waved his sleeves.

"You kid, you don't tell a single word of truth. I don't want to talk to you anymore!"

As if Li Shuang had been pardoned, he would have left quickly to avoid being robbed by the old man.

Just after taking two steps, Wei Qingbin said from behind:

"It's not easy at the court either!"

Wei Qingbin didn't care whether Li Shuang was willing to listen or not, and continued talking to himself.

"When Emperor Xiaowen wanted to move the capital, many people in Pingcheng opposed it. He led his army south under the pretext of suppressing the enemy, and he did it anyway. This was because he knew that only by making the Xianbei people become like the Han people would the world be stable, and the Great Wei Dynasty would not collapse suddenly like the Fu Qin Dynasty, nor like those barbarian states, which rose and fell suddenly!"

"But now it seems that those who opposed the relocation of the capital were not without reason! But who can tell what is right and wrong?"

Li Shuang turned around with a simple smile on his face.

"Are you always telling me that?"

Wei Qingbin was helpless and cursed.

"get out!"

After hearing this, Li Shuang quickened his pace.

As soon as he left, Wei Qingbin's attendant came to report.

"Your Majesty, Erzhu Ying'e of the Erzhu clan hunted and caught some fresh musk deer and brought them to you."

Wei Qingbin shook his head and sighed:

"It's a pity for this girl. It's rare for the Erzhu family to have a good person. She just has a strong temper."
-
night.

Outside Jiuyuan City, in the hunting ground.

Erzhu Ying'e, along with Erzhu Tianguang and a dozen followers, spent the night in the courtyard by the river.

"Uncle San, come and have a drink!" Musk deer were roasting on the campfire, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

"I came to Jiuyuan, why did you follow me?"

"What do you mean I came along too? My father told us that the governor is our elder and that we should not forget to pay our respects to him from time to time."

"I haven't seen Erzhu Zhao and his men come so frequently!"

Erzhu Tianguang chuckled at this time, with a hint of cunning on his face.

"Erzhu Zhao and his men would have been too busy hiding when they saw the governor, so why would they come to see him on their own initiative?"

"Then why are you so diligent?"

Erzhu Ying'e smiled complacently and pointed to the courtyard on the side.

“See? This is the result!”

This hunting ground originally belonged to the royal camp and had a palace built on it. After it was abandoned, only this courtyard remained.

It seems that Wei Qingbin gave this courtyard to them for use.

Li Shuang's guards were patrolling outside. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Shuang yawned.

"Why don't we just go away first? I have to go back to Taiping Village tomorrow!"

"Where is this?"

Erzhu Ying'e raised her wine glass and toasted him, but Li Shuang refused.

"I'm not good at drinking either!"

Erzhu Tianguang was also a little drunk at this time, and there was a hint of drunkenness in his words.

"How is that possible? How can a grown man not know how to drink? Look, burp~~~~"

Erzhu Tianguang burped loudly, but he did not forget to pour wine for Li Shuang.

After drinking a lot of wine, Li Shuang also showed signs of drunkenness and suddenly stopped moving.

Erzhu Ying'e blushed and smiled.

"You're already incapacitated after just a few drinks. You're useless!"

Erzhu Tianguang said in a daze:
"What should we do? Should we ask someone to move Uncle San into the room?"

Erzhu Ying'e waved her hand.

"No, the two of us are enough."

Erzhu Ying'e and Erzhu Tianguang helped Li Shuang into the house, and Erzhu Tianguang yawned.

"Sister, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to sleep first!"

"Go ahead!"

Erzhu Ying'e carried Li Shuang to the bed and covered him with a quilt. Suddenly, her head sank. When she opened her eyes again, she was only a few feet away from Li Shuang's face.

She looked at Li Shuang's handsome face, stretched out her fingers and drew circles on Li Shuang's nose.

"You bad guy, you kidnapped me and bullied me. I was a big man and didn't bear grudges, so that was fine. But now you dare to say that I am not as good as Dugu Ru. How am I not as good as him?"

Erzhu Ying'e was drunk and kissed Li Shuang on the lips.

After the kiss, he smacked his lips and said dizzily:
"What? It's nothing more than that!"

As she spoke, she tapped Li Shuang's cheek with her white little hand, and a drunken but sweet smile appeared on her face. She looked very proud and pleased.

"Just wait for me. You will be mine sooner or later. No one else can help you!"

Erzhu Ying'e stood up straight, staggering and smiling foolishly.

"Hehe, my Erzhu Ying'e is just so amazing!"

She left here in a daze and went back to her room.

Until the moment the door closed, Li Shuang, who had kept his eyes closed, opened his eyes and smacked his lips!
"It's not very good. You smell of alcohol!"
