Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

Nanyang is a military fortress on the border with South Korea. As the Qin army continues to send more troops to the border between the two countries, the entry inspection here has become increasingly strict.

After disguising himself, Xiong Da spent a lot of effort to finally let the caravan sneak into Nanyang.

"Time is running out. Let's go find the Nanyang County Sheriff first."

After entering Nanyang, Xiong Da took out a 'sundial pocket watch' from his arms, placed it flat in his hands, looked at the shadow of the hands slanting down from the sun, and found that there was less than an hour left before dark.

Before night falls.

Xiong Da took Xiong Er to the Nanyang County Sheriff's Mansion. After the announcement, the two were quickly summoned.

After walking into the Sheriff's Mansion.

Zuo Teng, the governor of Nanjun, was sitting in the lobby waiting. When Xiong Da and Xiong Er arrived, they could still vaguely see the hesitation and worry frowning on Zuo Teng's eyebrows.

It wasn't until Xiong Da and Xiong Er arrived that Zuo Teng's frown calmed down.

When the servants came up, they served Xiong Da and Xiong Er each a cup of tea. After they left, Zuo Teng took a sip of tea and said gently: "I don't know your surnames? Why are you here to visit me this time?" What are you doing?"

"What? Did Sheriff Zuo Teng stop recognizing us so quickly?"

Although Xiong Da and Xiong Er are now in disguise, their voices have not changed. Zuo Teng was obviously surprised for a moment when he heard Xiong Da speak, and then his face changed slightly.

He looked at the guards in the distance and changed his words: "This is not a place for discussion. I would like you two gentlemen to follow me to the backyard."

Said.

Zuo Teng got up first and walked from the side door of the lobby towards the backyard, followed closely by Xiong Da and Xiong Er.

Arriving at the backyard, Zuo Teng first kicked out the servants in the courtyard, then led Xiong Da and Xiong Er into the study. After closing the doors and windows, he offered his hands to the two of them again.

"Why did you two gentlemen come to Nanyang at this time? Could it be for..."

"Don't get me wrong, Commander Zuo. My Lord has no intention of getting involved in this matter on the Qin-Korean border. I came to Nanyang on this trip and was just ordered to do some things."

"I see."

Zuo Teng breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Xiong Da said in surprise: "It seems that Governor Zuo Teng has been under a lot of pressure recently? If you don't mind, why don't you tell me and let me listen?"

Zuo Teng's expression froze at first, and then he suddenly remembered the background of the two people in front of him. He felt that there was no need to hide the secrets he had hidden in front of these two people, so he smiled bitterly.

"I think you two gentlemen also know some of my current 'identity', so I won't hide it from you. In fact, not long ago, someone from the Qin State sent a secret message, and they will attack South Korea in the near future. "

"Well! We have indeed heard about this matter. However, many years ago, Governor Zuo had already conspired to cooperate with the Qin State. Are you planning to go back on your word now?"

Xiong Da's eyes flashed slightly.

Xiong Ziran also learned about Zuo Teng's identity as an 'internal agent' from Lord Mo. If it weren't for knowing this secret, the Chamber of Commerce led by Xiong Da would not have cooperated with Zuo Teng many times in these years.

Zuo Teng shook his head and said: "The deal is done. Now that I have made a decision, I will naturally not go back on my words at this critical moment. Moreover, when I was willing to cooperate with Qin, I did not value the benefits promised by Qin, but the high-ranking powerful people in South Korea. It is extremely rotten. In order to give the people at the bottom a way to survive, I made this decision."

"And now it seems that my original decision was also correct."

"The embezzlement of the upper-class princes and nobles in South Korea has become more and more serious in recent years. Even during the heavy snowfall last year, if the two gentlemen had not provided timely support with a batch of food, it might not be impossible for the people of Nanyang today to be killed or injured more than half."

"Speaking of this, I still need to express my gratitude to the two gentlemen."

When he said this, it could be seen that Zuo Teng's eyes were still hesitant at first, but in the end they gradually turned into determination. And stood up and bowed to Xiong Daxiong Er.

Xiong Da quickly stood up and returned the courtesy: "You don't have to be polite, Commander Zuo Teng, we are just following orders. But since Commander Zuo Teng has made a decision in his mind, why are you hesitating now?"

When this matter was mentioned, Zuo Teng, who had been full of determination just now, suddenly showed a look of helplessness on his face. He sat back on the cushion and said bitterly:

"What I'm worried about is not the war, but what happens after the war. Last year, a heavy snowfall severely damaged the vitality of the people at the bottom of Korea. Although Nanyang had a batch of food provided by the two gentlemen in time, they could barely survive the storm. . But now the autumn harvest has not yet come. If we experience another war at this time, I don’t know how many people will be displaced and homeless."

"Ha~~ So this is what Governor Zuo Teng is worried about? If this is the case, there is no need for Governor Zuo Teng to be like this."

Faced with Zuo Teng's sorrow, Xiong Da suddenly laughed softly and said: "To be honest, the reason why my master asked me to come to Nanyang this time is to solve this matter."

Hearing this, Zuo Teng's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked in surprise: "Is that adult even prepared for this?"

Xiong laughed and said: "My lord has promised to protect all the people of Great Qin. If Nanyang becomes the territory of our Qin State, the people here will naturally become the subjects of Great Qin."

"So Governor Zuo Teng doesn't have to worry. This time I have led the Chamber of Commerce to secretly place a sum of food outside Nanyang City in batches. Once the Battle of Nanyang is over, this food will immediately be turned into 'disaster relief food'."

"As for the aftermath, all those who became refugees due to the war can move to Hanzhong County with me."

After listening to what Xiong Da said, Zuo Teng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the sorrow between his brows was wiped away: "If this is the case, I will have no worries anymore."

"However, this matter will still require the cooperation of Governor Zuoteng. After all, we are not from Korea, and we are far less familiar with this place than Governor Zuoteng. In addition, the sooner the war ends, the less damage Nanyang will suffer."

"I naturally know this."

Regarding Xiong Da's last vague reminder, Zuo Teng naturally understood what the other party meant. But as long as peace can be restored to Nanyang as soon as possible, Zuo Teng is willing to bear the reputation of a 'traitor'.

"But speaking of it, I still have an unanswered question in my mind? I have never met that adult, so why does he value me so much?"

This is the only thing that Zuo Teng still hasn't figured out. He and Xiong Daxiong Er have known each other a few years ago. At that time, it was obviously their first time working together, but the other party showed that he knew him well.

What's even more unexpected is that the person behind these two people seems to have heard of his name, and even helped him through difficulties many times.

It's not that Zuo Teng looks down on himself, but because of his status, he may still have a respectable reputation in front of ordinary landowners and nobles, but in front of that person, calling him a piece of shit is probably just a compliment to him.

After all, even a fart can make a loud noise, and he, an unknown Nanyang County Sheriff, can still have a name in South Korea, but in the Seven Kingdoms, it really means nothing.

Faced with Zuo Teng's response, Xiong Da did not answer, but smiled slightly and said: "Counter Zuo Teng will know about this in the future. If Sheriff Zuo Teng has nothing else to do, then I will leave first."

"Wait a minute, gentlemen, I have something I really want to ask you for a little help with..."
