When the middle-aged man looked at the young Western Qin general, there was a trace of guilt in his eyes in addition to appreciation. The reason for the appreciation is that this young Western Qin general, as a representative of the martial arts of the Western Qin Empire - the heir of the Wu family, he completely inherited the command ability of his grandfather, who was also the first general of the former Western Qin, and this young man named Wu Cheng used the command ability he had, and used a heavy cavalry force to turn the tide at the most difficult moment of the Western Qin Empire, which not only blocked the advance of the invaders, but also routed an invader army of up to 50,000 people. Bought up to half a month for the Western Qin Empire to evacuate the people, and also shined in the subsequent territorial defense battles and counterattack battles, all kinds of signs indicate that there will be a general star in the Western Qin Empire, how can the middle-aged man who is the emperor of the Western Qin Empire not appreciate him?

As for the reason for the guilt, it is related to marrying Yue'er, the first princess of the Western Qin Empire, because if the Western Qin Empire blocked the attack of the invaders without hugging the thigh of the Great Empire, then it stands to reason that this young man who is a childhood sweetheart with Princess Yue'er will get the opportunity to marry Yue'er, the first princess of Western Qin, after winning the invasion war, because of his military exploits: As the two old families of the Western Qin Empire, the Wu family and the Li family, the Wu family represents the martial arts of the Western Qin Empire, that is, the military faction, The Li family represents the Wen family, that is, the aristocratic faction, and these two families are also the two objects that the Western Qin emperors must woo, and the mutual marriage between the three has long been recognized by the Western Qin people.

The problem is that just with the personal strength of the Western Qin Empire, it is impossible to resist the invasion from the invaders, and this is the matter of Princess Yue'er of the Western Qin Empire marrying the Great Empire, and this matter is tantamount to giving his nominal fiancée to someone else as a wife for this young Western Qin general, and it is impossible to say that middle-aged people have no guilt about it. However, compared to guilt, the emperor of the Western Qin Empire was more worried that this young and vigorous Wu Cheng would be unable to quarrel with the Great Empire because the sun never sets at this time, and if the Wu family standing behind him also joined, it would be a headache for himself.

“………… I also said the same as Lord Li, the Western Qin Empire is not short of soldiers now, let alone elite veterans, although our territory was shattered in the previous invasion war, but our empire has also honed a strong army, and the great empire of the sun never sets can provide material assistance to our army within a 50-mile area around the red fortress. Now we send some soldiers from the empire to that wasteland to clean up those so-called primitive orcs for the Sunset Empire, not only can we get 1 percent of the 10-year income of the mining around the Crimson Fortress, and 3 percent of the 5-year restricted income, but also let the Sunset Empire share some military expenses for us, such a good thing, on behalf of the samurai faction, I fully agree to this deal. Although he looked a little stunned, Wu Cheng's tone showed his sophistication, and his own words also relieved everyone present. However, before the middle-aged man on the throne could speak, Wu Cheng's other words made everyone raise their voices: "However, there is one of the trading conditions proposed by the Great Empire on which I want to temporarily veto." ”

"Aiqing, can you tell me which one?"

"The Emperor of the Sun Never Sets said that his people have found a huge tin vein and diamond ore within 30 miles of the red fortress built by his soldiers, and if our Western Qin Empire uses our Western Qin shipbuilding technology to trade, our Western Qin Empire will receive 10 years of mining income from this vein of 1 layer, although I believe that the Emperor of the Sun Never Sets has no problem with his personality, but my matter has already involved the problem of the mechanism of my country's Mo family, which is one of the foundations of my Western Qin Empire. After clarifying all the facts about this matter, we are making a decision, so I think that before our people have witnessed the appearance of this vein, we must not sign the right to transfer the shipbuilding technology of the Western Qin Dynasty to the Great Empire in exchange for the mining of a giant tin ore and diamond vein so quickly. ”

"I agree ........."

"Me too........."

"Reconsideration .........." Obviously, Wu Cheng's words also show the doubts in everyone's hearts, although everyone believes that the great empire will not pit itself, and there is a layer of marriage, the great empire will not be able to give a black hand to itself, but there will be exceptions, especially in this continent full of kings competing for power, the son-in-law's side often undermines his mother's side after he is strong, so in order for the empire to get the best interests, some suspicions and protective measures must still be had.

"Then Wu Aiqing, who do you think I should send this time?" The middle-aged man on the throne didn't say anything about the opinions raised by the young man in front of him, as if this matter had been expected. So as soon as Wu Cheng's words fell, the middle-aged man on the throne raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something and asked Wu Cheng.

"If Your Majesty does not dislike it, the minister is willing to lead 60,000 Western Qin soldiers to the Red Fortress, and under the survey of what the emperor needs for the empire, what the emperor said is very true."

"What? This ........." Under Wu Cheng's words, the faces of all the Western Qin officials and officers present changed. The reason why this is not unreasonable, because everyone present is afraid that this young Western Qin general will not only not complete his task if he goes, but because of the relationship between Princess Yue'er and the Great Empire, it will be difficult to do, if it really becomes like this, it will not be easy to do, so the Western Qin ministers present, that is, the Western Qin officers standing behind him, after hearing Wu Cheng's decision, couldn't help but whisper advice behind him, hoping that Wu Cheng would give up the idea he had said before.

However, as a middle-aged man on the imperial chair, he didn't say anything about Wu Cheng's proposal, but showed a hint of playfulness on his face. After ignoring the plea gazes cast to him by the surrounding ministers, he smiled at Wu Cheng, who was looking at him with firm eyes, and said: "Since Wu Aiqing said so, then it is not easy for me to stop it, so the matter of leading the army to the Red Fortress will be handed over to you Wu Aiqing, I hope you will not let me down." ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't let you down."
