To be honest, even Song Seong-eun himself felt that Zheng Ying's special treatment was a little inappropriate.
If he left me alone like this, wouldn't it be particularly easy to have some kind of misunderstanding?
Once such a misunderstanding was formed, it didn't seem to be so easy to solve, right?
Especially after communicating with the old fox of the An family, if he behaved like this again, there would probably be a little deviation in understanding, right?
But Song Seong-eun thought about it again. As long as he held on to this elephant leg of the Daqin and seized the first opportunity, he might be able to become the spokesperson of the Daqin court's interests in this land. Even if he was just a spokesperson, what he could get would be enough to fatten the Song family several times over.
The Yang family was gone, and there was a vacuum in the local power. Even if the Daqin court stationed the officials here, it was impossible not to rely on everyone's strength. There must be a leader and obedient chieftain to become the local collaborator and the biggest spokesperson of the Daqin court, cooperating with the officials and stabilizing the local area.
This was a very obvious thing. Every dynasty would do this. As for who the Daqin court would choose …
Song Seong-eun's heart beat significantly faster.
It wouldn't be … a mere Song, right?
Song Seong-eun's heart was full of desire.
"This time, thanks to General Song's cooperation, we were able to completely attract Yang Yinglong's energy and troops to the back of the fortress. In this way, he would relax his guard in front of the fortress, and we would be able to launch a sneak attack and successfully take down the Sea Dragon Fortress. General Song has made great contributions in this battle. The court will definitely not forget General Song."
Zheng Ying patted Song Seong-eun's shoulder and looked at him meaningfully.
Song Seong-eun immediately understood the meaning contained in Zheng Ying's eyes.
His heart was beating even faster than before.
"I was just doing my best. As a subject of the Daqin, I, as a subject of the Daqin Emperor, will go through a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. This is something that I should do! In the future, if the Emperor of Daqin has any instructions, I will do my best and will never decline! "
For people like them, swearing was like farting. Compared to swearing to the heavens and other serious oaths, there was no binding force. This was obviously a rule of the game, which everyone knew. However, this kind of attitude was also very important. It represented the support of the local forces under the situation of equal strength.
Zheng Ying was well aware of such a typical example of an opportunist. However, according to the direction of the plot arranged by His Majesty Xiao Ruxun, he wanted to make Song Seong-eun misunderstand.
As the Emperor of the Daqin, as the founding Emperor of the world, any of his words could bring great misunderstandings to the local tycoons.
If he wanted to deceive everyone, it wouldn't take much effort at all. This was because the power and interests he represented were on a completely different order of magnitude from what others represented.
As long as he drew a picture of a pie, he could make people who weren't that smart have a huge illusion, and thus put in a lot of effort to try to get the real pie.
They firmly believed in the rules of the game.
They also believed that the Emperor of Daqin would definitely be able to give them what they needed.
For example, the dominance of Bozhou.
Bozhou was a fat piece of meat. If the Qin Army wanted to monopolize it, they naturally wouldn't rely on their strength. Since they did, although they felt that it wouldn't be of much use, they would have the illusion that the Qin Army didn't want to monopolize it, and only wanted to support a new interest spokesperson here.
Song Seong-eun was the one who was most affected by this illusion, and Zheng Ying wanted to make Song Seong-eun treat this illusion as reality.
"Hahahahaha! It's the blessing of the Daqin to have General Song, who is willing to fight for the country and be loyal to the court! If His Majesty the Emperor knew about this, he would be very happy. After all, General Song also knows that it's really not easy for the Daqin to govern this remote place … "
There was another meaning to this, there must be a meaning to this!
Zheng Shuai was really too naughty!
The flowers in Song Seong-eun's heart were in full bloom!
"What Zheng Shuai said … is indeed a difficult problem! So … so we … we should discuss it in detail, right? "
Song Seong-eun couldn't even speak properly.
"Before we sent troops, His Majesty specifically told us that Bozhou is a remote place, and we need to find a very reliable person to help the Daqin government govern it. Otherwise, the people in this place are uncivilized and uneducated, and it will be troublesome for the government to govern, right?"
After Zheng Ying said this again, Song Seong-eun continued to nod. "Yes, yes, yes, Zheng Shuai and His Majesty the Emperor are both right!"
"Therefore, after careful consideration, I found that General Song is loyal to the Emperor and willing to fight for the country. He is indeed the best candidate to guard Bozhou and serve the country …"
The corner of Zheng Ying's mouth raised a trace of a smile. Song Seong-eun took a deep breath, took a few steps back, and bowed to Zheng Ying.
"If that's the case, I'll be willing to sacrifice my life for the Great Qin! Marshal Zheng is the great benefactor of our Song enterprise. If we can't repay this kindness in this life, we will repay Marshal Zheng's kindness in the next life even if we have to be a cow or a horse! "
Song Seong-eun was obviously fascinated by the big pie that was drawn and couldn't extricate himself.
The jurisdiction of Bozhou was really too tempting. It was nothing for the Daqin, but for the chieftains here, although Yang Yinglong was courting death, it was also because Bozhou was rich. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the courage to court death, right?
The Daqin wanted to choose a new spokesperson, and they chose him and the Song enterprise!
This was simply the best news in the world!
Song Seong-eun felt that he was about to jump with joy. All the previous depression and fear were swept away!
It turned out that the love between the Daqin Emperor and the Commander-in-Chief was so deep, so special!
I want to praise this world!
Song Seong-eun's excitement at this moment could no longer be described with words.
"General Song is indeed a loyal person! I believe that I didn't make a mistake. General Song, please don't let me down! "
Zheng Ying tightly held Song Seong-eun's hand.
Song Seong-eun was so moved that he couldn't hold back his tears.
"This general will bear that in mind!"
After sending away Song Seong-eun, who was walking and crying, Zheng Ying laughed coldly.
As the saying goes, humans die in pursuit of wealth, birds die in pursuit of food. Once a person encountered something related to benefits, he would easily lose his mind.
Since ancient times, it was unknown how many people with lofty ideals fell on the word "benefits". There was no lack of ambitious and brilliant martial artists who could shake the world, but they just couldn't pass this hurdle.
However, whether he should say it or not, from the perspective of a bystander, Zheng Ying could naturally make sarcastic remarks and ridicule these guys for being short-sighted. However, putting himself in their shoes, if Zheng Ying were to really stand in their shoes, the decision he made might not necessarily be better than theirs.
The benefits were too great, and no one could stand it.
But, in the end, it still depended on whether he had the ability to eat this piece of meat.
If he couldn't eat it, he would either be stuffed to death or choked to death. Anyway, he definitely couldn't survive.
He didn't know how Song Seong-eun died.
