【Back 222】Agreement and Documents

"Two or three years?" Dou Yueshan couldn't help laughing and looked at Deng Qing with disdainful eyes: "Can you really make a comeback? It took you ten years to build the situation in the north. The forces in the capital are complicated and difficult to balance. Without the favor of the old lieutenant, how can you quickly gain a foothold in the capital? Besides, will your cousins ​​allow you to seize their territory and deprive them of their interests?"

Every sentence he poked into Deng Qing's heart and lungs without any room for anything.

The young general on the main seat looked light and dark, and the confidence in his heart was gradually dispersed.

"Deng Qing, today's slaughter... Are you silenced Jinwu to better force me to hand over the merits of this side city? Since that's the case, isn't it good for you and me to act freely? Why bother to entangle here? Let me tell you clearly, if I don't give up the merits of the border city... Although the Penting Palace will be demoted by the ministers, it will not be subject to any substantial punishment.

Due to the Battle of the Huns, turmoil occurred everywhere in the border areas of the Great Wei. Archie joined forces with surrounding countries to discuss how to attack the Great Wei. Once the coalition forces succeed, the war will be imminent. At such a critical moment, even if Your Majesty has complained to our mansion, he will not keep holding on to this matter. At that time... If our mansion can maintain peace in the Western border and submit a letter of guilt, it will eventually calm the dissatisfaction between Your Majesty and the ministers...

But for you, it is different. You should know that half of the tensions in the frontier are caused by you... Even if Your Majesty relies on the old Grand Marshal and Deng family, you cannot be neglected about the safety of the Great Wei country. Once your actions in the border town are presented to the Tingwei Mansion, the upright Tingwei Master Dou Yuelan will never let you go easily. Your Majesty knows the severity of the matter, and in order to calm the public's grievances and the anger of the ministers... Will he still guarantee you to be thorough?"

Deng Qing knew what he said. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have to spend time planning, nor would he have to cooperate with the thief who kidnapped him.

Dou Yueshan is right. If he had not had the merits of this side city, he would have completely lost his grandfather's trust based on the crime he committed, and would have been disgusted by His Majesty... At that time, he would have lost all his face, lost everything he had now, and abandoned by his clan members.

Deng Qing kept silent, sat on the cushion and pondered about this matter.

Dou Yueshan was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

Seeing that Deng Qing was no longer as arrogant and unruly as the first time, Xiao Sa's eyes widened and looked at Dou Yueshan with a hint of admiration.

He didn't know what kind of backup plan this man had before he came, and he didn't understand how Dou Yueshan calculated everything. Even if there was an accident, he was not panicked, and there was still a way to do it. This made Xiao Sa involuntarily admire him from the bottom of his heart.

After a while, Deng Qing, who was in silence, finally moved. He slowly raised his lower eyes and looked at Dou Yueshan with his expression tense, and clenched his fists, saying, "If you can do what you say, I can naturally give you these three rare medicines. But... Cao He, if you dare to hand these documents to my grandfather in the future, bite me... I will definitely revenge you and will never let the Pingding Palace go."

Dou Yueshan nodded without hesitation: "Since I sincerely ask you for these three herbs... I will naturally not go back on my word."

Seeing that he answered very accurately, Deng Qing hesitated for a moment and said again: "Not only that... the so-called Caozhouwei in the city also needs to re-install candidates. As for... how to block the leisurely mouths of the generals in the border city... you also need to solve them for me. When I return to Beijing to report my duties and report this matter to the court, you need to ensure that... the people sent to the capital to investigate cannot find any clues."

After these words, Dou Yueshan did not rush to answer: "In the eyes of the general... am I so powerful? The generals in this city... are not my subordinates, how can I let them obey orders?"

Deng Qing looked coldly: "I don't care about this. If you can't do this, don't think I'll give you the medicine."

He vetoed quickly and had a firm attitude, and was unquestionable.

Dou Yueshan smiled again: "General... you don't have to do this. Although the medicine is precious, it is not only available to the Protectorate. If I spend some time, I can still find it from other places... I am not in a hurry. If you say this, you can give up."

His indifferent and indifferent attitude made Deng Qing a little anxious, afraid that this person would regret it, so he said hurriedly: "I am not unwilling to trade. However, since you sincerely want to give up the achievements of leaving the border city, you always need to solve your worries? If you want to conceal the Cao family's arrival at the border city, you have to cut off your tail to completely withdraw? I said this not just for myself, but also for your consideration. But... you said you cannot handle this matter, so although this transaction is risky, what is the meaning of your and I here to discuss it?"

Seeing that he was anxious, Dou Yueshan became tolerant in his words, so he slowed down and said, "General, don't panic. Although I have no right to manage these generals in the border town, one of them can do it. At least you have to ask what he meant... to make a decision. This border town... After all, it is not under my jurisdiction. Who is in the hands of the military defense of the vast Yongzhou and the northern part of the land... don't you know?"

His meaning was clearly stated.

Deng Qing turned his head and looked at Xiao Sa who was sitting quietly on the other side. Seeing him sitting upright, he closed his eyes to rest, and frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Sa deliberately ignored him, and his mind calmed down for a long time, leaving the two of them silent.

Seeing him like this, Dou Yueshan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and smile, and she felt a little more intimate about the middle-aged man's temper.

He had only heard of the famous governor of Yongzhou in the past, and thought that he should be a straightforward and upright person. However, his days of getting along with each other have made Dou Yueshan clearly realize that this person is not as rumored by the world. Xiao Sa acted less sluggishly than the prefect of Linhe Gu An, and had a little more sleekness in his integrity. Although he was born in a poor family, his temperament was indescribable. His just right personality made people unconsciously admire and convinced.

At the moment, Xiao Sa was so angry that he naturally didn't answer so quickly.

Deng Qing waited for a long time with a stiff face before Xiao Sa slowly opened her eyes, pretending to be too obsessed, and said in surprise: "Why did the General and Caozhouwei stop?"

Dou Yueshan smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao...I am talking about the important points, and are you waiting for your decision?"

Xiao Sa pretended to be puzzled and said, "Waiting for me to make a decision? Caozhou Wei was joking... The Protector General is so arrogant and domineering, treating me as a snake and scorpion, thinking that I slander him... How dare I make decisions for him now? If I don't go to his will in the future... I will not be able to protect my official position now."

He was sarcastic in his words and outside, and he glanced at Deng Qing with contempt in his eyes.

Dou Yueshan and Xiao Sa attacked each other, threatening and forcing in front and humiliating and mocking in the back, which made Deng Qingru feel restless all over, her face was blue and white, and her expression was very bad.

How arrogant Deng Qing was just now, how frustrated he was now.

After a long time, he held back his temper and said to Xiao Sa: "The officials are too excited, so they speak without saying anything and lose their composure. They offend the governor... they are all the faults of the governor. If the governor is angry and wants to scold him, the officials will not complain."

Xiao Sa smiled: "I didn't expect... General Protector broke his face with me, and could he still beg back in a low voice?"

Deng Qing remained silent, endured his sour sarcasm and kept suppressing his anger.

Seeing that he was almost lowering his head to the table, Xiao Sa stopped saying harsh words and cleared his throat: "What Caozhou Wei said... is what I mean. If the general is sincere, I will naturally handle the follow-up matters for you and prevent the Tingwei Mansion from igniting the truth about the border city."

When Deng Qing heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and immediately slowed down a lot.

He leaned over and leaned against the table, holding the stack of documents in his hand, and said solemnly: "Since that's the case...you and I will set up a document in this hall today, and each keeps one to show sincerity in cooperation. If any party goes back on his word in the future, he can submit the document in the court to ensure fairness."

Dou Yueshan's eyes were closed, and she seemed to have not expected Deng Qing to make such a request.

Deng Qing clapped his hands, and outside the hall, a waiter holding the four treasures of the study, lowered his head, and slowly walked forward.

The servant had three long-prepared documents on the table plate. After entering the hall, he stepped forward and handed them to them one by one.

Seeing this, Xiao Sa was a little surprised. He looked up at Dou Yueshan and happened to look at him. The two of them looked at each other, and they seemed to be a little surprised. After the friction and collision, he lowered his eyes secretly and carefully read the documents on the counter.

The document is very clear, and the words written are all the conditions proposed just now, almost word-of-mouth. Dou Yueshan was shocked and wondered. Since Deng Qing had already drafted this treaty in advance, why... she had to deal with them just now?

He was suspicious and looked up at Deng Qing, but saw that he was also frowning, as if he had seen this document for the first time.

Dou Yueshan thought: Could it be... this document was not written by Deng Qing? Is there someone else behind it?

As soon as this thought came out, his shoulders trembled and he felt a little uneasy.

After Xiao Sa finished reading the content of the document, he mocked him: "The Protector General is a prophet, and the content of this word is exactly the same as today's discussion?"

One sentence awakened Deng Qing and also made Dou Yueshan raise her head.

Deng Qing smiled embarrassedly and said, "The name is written by the book boy in the hall in time. Lord Xiao, don't think too much."

Xiao Sa tsk twice and expressed his disbelief.
