In the hustle and bustle, a few pieces of fallen night crow black feathers inadvertently fell on the stone tiles of "Heartfelt Restaurant", and the wine flag printed with the four characters of "Heartfelt Restaurant" fluttered in the wind at this time.

This is a restaurant that may seem a little special, but is actually really ordinary. I have to say that the food and wine in this place are very affordable, and the shopkeeper in the running hall is also very diligent and enthusiastic.

At the end of the deep corridor, in a very secluded place, a first-class room, a table of delicious food, accompanied by a few pots of wine, the two of them sat opposite each other. Outside the window, the team of Chiyan warriors was passing by the entrance of the restaurant. In the sound of sonorous footsteps, the wine that had just been filled with wine kept recurring and rippled, and it took a long time to subside.

When the afternoon sun shines through the open window, gilding Bu Weilan with a light layer of gold, the originally somewhat gloomy interior has a little more autumn warmth with the smile on the corner of the man's mouth.

"I didn't expect him to really come back, what does Gongzi Lian feel about this. Bu Weilan poured wine for the person sitting on the other side, and there seemed to be a little surprise in his words. There are few people in this world who can let Bu Weilan pour wine himself.

"From the day he left, I knew he would come back sooner or later, but it was a coincidence that he chose this time to come back. This man who is called "Lian Gongzi" by Bu Weilan is about twenty-four or five years old, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes contain a rare heroic intent in the world.

Lian Gongzi has a crescent-shaped white jade pinned to his waist, which seems to be very valuable, but if you just look at his clothes, it is really too simple, which makes it difficult to associate him with the title of "Gongzi".

At this time, Bu Weilan, dressed in brocade clothes, moire boots, full of glory, looking at the appearance, you know that it must be either rich or expensive. In terms of temperament alone, Bu Weilan is more of a son of a family than this honest son.

Lian Gongzi: "Don't you think Brother Weilan?"

Bu Weilan: "I want to hear about it." ”

Lian Gongzi: "Not long ago, in order to relieve the siege of my long-cherished country, Xia Guo persuaded the 60,000 iron horsemen of the Mexican soldiers under Mingyue City to retreat with the strategy of marriage. ”

Bu Weilan: "Such family and country events are known to everyone. ”

"Now the team of Xia Guo is on the way to the Shu Kingdom, and the army of the Mexican State has just withdrawn. Our prince, who has disappeared for many years, just came back at this juncture, I estimate that at this moment, Xia Guo will almost get the news that he is back. Lian Gongzi said with a smile, "When Yun Fan succeeds to the throne, the strategy of the marriage of the Xia Kingdom will be self-defeating." ”

"Yun Fan has just returned, and it is impossible to succeed to the throne immediately. Bu Weilan poured a full wine glass for Lian Gongzi, "Besides, if the lord of the country does not plan to give up the throne, the lord of the country is still the lord of the country, and Yun Fan is still just a ronin who is difficult to get into the hall of elegance." ”

Lian Mu: "On the premise that there are still suitable candidates, the clan family will still follow the tradition and support Yun Fan to succeed to the throne, no matter how much they didn't like Yun Fan in the past." ”

Bu Weilan: "Before the disappearance of the old lord, Yun Fan was the rightful prince of the country, although the world often complained about his identity as an illegitimate child. ”

Gongzi Lian sighed and said, "However, now this bastard has retrieved the bloody eye frosthoof of the Holy Beast of the Zhenguo that has been lost for many years from the North Continent, and has also brought back this Red Yan warrior and Sabu warrior like a flood beast. ”

"What does Childe mean is that Yun Fan's return was deliberately planned by someone before?" Bu Weilan said tentatively.

Lian Mu believes that all this may be the arrangement of the Lord of Yun Ji. Although it is inevitable that some difficult compromises will need to be made along the way. Lian Mu drank all the wine in the wine glass and got straight to the point, "After all, at this time, except for Yun Fan, no one can save the country." ”

"Childe also thinks that only this Yun Fan can save the country at present?" asked Bu Weilan.

"Otherwise, let me wait for a seven-foot body to steal my life through the strategy of marriage?" Lian Mu said, slapping the table angrily and said, "Even if the Yun family has no successor, our long-cherished man is not dead yet!"

Bu Weilan: "The army sent by the Xia Kingdom to help our Su Kingdom defend against foreign enemies is said to have a total of 50,000 in the first batch, of which 30,000 are Blood Tiger Riders, all of whom are the elite of the elite. ”

Lian Mu: "Everyone in the world knows that the Chiyan warriors and the Xia Kingdom are feuds, if they learn that Yun Fan is not only back, but also returned with the Chiyan warriors, it is thank God for not drawing their swords to help." ”

Bu Weilan: "The group of warriors brought back by Yun Fan, plus the Northern Continent barbarians who followed him back, are less than 20,000 together. In this current situation, if the Xia Kingdom withdraws its troops halfway through, and if the Mo Kingdom makes a comeback again, relying on those barbarians and these warriors of unknown origin, can we really hold the last territory of the Shu Kingdom?"

"Brother Weilan, you have to understand that no matter how close Xia Guo is with us, he is still an outsider after all. Even if it helps us today, sooner or later it will have to be returned. There is no such thing as a gratuitous feast. Lian Mu turned the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes gradually deepened, "Even if it is a family banquet, sometimes it is inevitable to hide murderous intentions." ”

"However, not long ago, the lord of the country just agreed to marry the Xia Kingdom. Bu Weilan was puzzled, "If you break the contract now, I'm afraid it will be extremely unfavorable to the current situation of the country." ”

"From the current point of view, I think that the lord of the country agreeing to the marriage of the Xia Kingdom may be just an expedient measure. Lian Mu drank the wine from the wine glass, and then continued, "I suspect that our lord is very likely to conspire with those old things from the clan family for the sake of the overall situation. ”

Bu Weilan reminded: "Don't speculate on the mind of the lord. ”

Lian Mu: "You see, now there is no male in the Yun clan of the Su Kingdom, if Yun Fan does not come back." On this kind of issue involving the diplomatic relations between the two countries, since the lord of the country agreed to the request of the Xia State for marriage, it is impossible not to fulfill it. If it is fulfilled, the army of the Xia State will enter the country through the strategy of marriage, and then it seems to help us defend against the enemy, but in fact it will inevitably take over all the city defense affairs of Mingyue City, and then we will not be able to decide whether to open or close our own door, what is the difference between this and the death of the country? If we do not fulfill it, we will instantly become hostile to Xia and Mexico. The Xia State withdrew its troops, and the Mexican State made a comeback. The strategy of marriage seems to be a glimmer of life, but in fact, it is death. The elders of the clan family are not fools, and they will not care about such a big matter as the marriage between the lord of the country and the Xia Kingdom? This is a major matter involving the interests of the major families of the Su Kingdom, as well as the common survival!"

Seemingly indifferent to everything,

In fact, we have already seen through the internal situation of the country.

"If the lord of the country really intends to recall Yun Fan, why not at the time of the invasion of the Mexican Kingdom, but until now?" Bu Weilan was still skeptical.

Lian Mu: "Who would have thought that the invasion of Mexico would be so fast, who would have thought that my long-cherished country would be so vulnerable, the clan family has not let go of power after the disappearance of the old lord, and the new lord wants to govern himself and has no army as support, the current national crisis, the hearts of the people are scattered, if you don't choose this time, when will you wait?"

Bu Weilan: "At present, there is still a frost sword forbidden army as a royal forbidden army, even if the family clan does not give up power, it will not have much impact on the lord's personal government, right?"

Lian Mu smiled, he thought that Bu Weilan was joking with him: "Brother Weilan, are you pretending to be stupid or testing something?"

Bu Weilan was puzzled: "How do you say this?"

Lian Mu: "Except for the Frost Sword Commander who died recently, the four deputy commanders of the Frost Sword Forbidden Servant are all in the next place, but among these four deputy commanders, two of them are from the children of the family! One is Han Wei, the eldest son of the Han family, one of the four great families of our country, and the other is Xia Hui, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, one of the four great families. ”

Bu Weilan: "What does Gongzi mean that these families in our long-cherished country have already secretly infiltrated the royal forbidden army?"

Lian Mu smiled: "I don't deny that the Frost Sword Forbidden Attendant is a sharp sword, but who can guarantee that in today's complex and severe situation, our lord can completely hold this double-edged sword." ”

Bu Weilan frowned and did not speak.

Lian Mu: "Then again, although only Yun Fan can save the country now, this guy's character is born like clouds flowing in the sky, scattered with the wind, and has always been difficult to control. If it wasn't to the point of last resort, who would want to recall him. The clan family didn't want to see him, and he never wanted to see the clan family. Maybe it's what the Lord of Yunji said, maybe I'll listen to it. ”

Bu Weilan: "Alas, it seems that if this is really a recall of Yun Fan, the timing really can't be too late or too early." ”

Lian Mu: "After the withdrawal of the Mexican Iron Cavalry, before the Xia army entered, this time was just right. ”

Bu Weilan: "What does Childe mean that in order to ensure that everything is in plan, the clan family and the lord of the country must have known about Yun Fan's deeds in advance?"

Lian Mu: "Yes, take another 10,000 steps back and say, if the lord of the country really intends to use himself as a bargaining chip to exchange for the last remnants of the long-cherished kingdom by marrying the Xia country, then not only Yun Fan at this moment, but also these heavily armored warriors and those barbarians on horses will not appear in our Bright Moon City in Dongji." The marriage between the two countries is important in sincerity. ”

"Therefore, as long as Yun Fan returns smoothly and inherits the unification, the marriage strategy of the Xia Kingdom will be self-defeating. "Bu Weilan thought about it carefully.

Lian Mu said with a smile: "When the time comes, even if Xia Guo wants to make trouble, it will be useless. ”

"That's the truth," Bu Weilan said, "the patriarchal law of etiquette and music, the foundation of the country, the bigger the country, the more attention will be paid to it." ”

Between the words, Bu Weilan's thoughts gradually sank, as if he thought of something, and immediately changed his words: "Let's not talk about this first, put aside the enmity of the family and the country, from just now to now, I have been listening to the son's words and hiding expectations for Yun Fan, I don't know if today's Lian Gongzi has let go of his former obsession." ”

Lian Mu was puzzled: "How can I say this?" ”

Bu Weilan smiled secretly:

"Lian Gongzi still remembers the old things of Mingguang armor that year. ”

Lian Mu: "I haven't forgotten. ”

Bu Weilan: "Then between you and Yun Fan..."

Lian Mu was silent for a moment, and said indifferently:

"This is my personal vendetta with him. ”

The originally harmonious atmosphere became a little suffocating at this time, Bu Weilan smiled awkwardly, and in his eyes, Lian Mu drank the wine in the wine glass in one gulp, and then slowly filled it.

Raising his eyes, Lian Mu found that Bu Weilan was looking at him.

Lian Mu knew that Bu Weilan was waiting for an answer.

Although he was unwilling, Lian Mu finally said:

"However, now that the national crisis is at hand, forget it for the time being. ”

Bu Weilan: "I respect the honest son of this cup." ”

Lian Mu: "Today's gossip is only known to you and me. ”

Bu Weilan: "It's pure drunken nonsense between old friends, how can you let a third party know." ”

"Drink. Lian Mu drank all the wine in the wine glass, "By the way, Brother Weilan knows what the origin of this six generals of the Sa Department who followed Yun Fan back." ”

Eight words can sum up the six barbarians who are known as the famous Hokuriku. Bu Weilan's tone was mixed with a little disdain. This aroused Lian Mu's curiosity: "Which eight words?"

"There is no need to worry about courage and strategy. ”

Bu Weilan's evaluation did not relieve the curiosity in Lian Mu's eyes, he turned the wine glass in his hand, and the wine in the wine glass did not overflow because of this, "That Weilan brother, do you know that among the people who followed Yun Fan back this time, the woman who is on par with Yun Fan?"

Bu Weilan thought for a while and asked, "What Gongzi Lian is talking about is the one with blonde hair and fair complexion, who often travels in purple?"

"Exactly!" Lian Mu put down his wine glass, his eyes lit up.

"This woman's name is Gu Yina, and she is the best at scheming, and the reason why Yun Fan was able to stir up the civil strife of the Ten Marquis of Beilu before was all due to the strategy of this Gu Yina alone. Although she is not one of the six generals under Yun Fan's command, she is Yun Fan's right-hand man now, and she should not be underestimated at all. ”

"It's been a long time since our Bright Moon City has been so lively. Looking at the flag outside the window, Lian Mu suddenly fell into deep thought: "It's rare to have time to drink, but I was accidentally delayed by the major events of my family and country." ”

"It seems that Childe still wants to talk about two or three things in this world today?" Bu Weilan said with a smile.

Lian Mu: "I know that Brother Weilan is well-informed, if one day the Xia Kingdom and the Shu Kingdom go to war, we will have to stand side by side with this group of Beilu people, Brother Weilan thinks, which side will have a better chance of winning?"

Bu Weilan: "The people who followed Yun Fan back this time are the remnants of the Sa Department who were not jointly cleaned up by the Ten Marquis of the Northern Continent more than 20 years ago, and it is roughly estimated that there are only more than 10,000 people. I have heard for a long time that the blood tiger of the Xia Kingdom rode the steel and martial arts, drank blood, and killed people like hemp. If you let the Sabu Liaoyuan Iron Cavalry in its heyday and the current Great Xia Kingdom Blood Tiger Rider have a separate battle, it is still unknown who will kill the deer. But now, with only the more than 10,000 remnants of the Sa tribe after losing the Liaoyuan Iron Cavalry, and facing the 30,000 Xia Kingdom Blood Tigers, we can collect the corpses of this group of Beilu people after they finish fighting, which can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the landlords. ”

Lian Mu asked, "What if you add these Chiyan warriors in heavy armor in the city?"

Bu Weilan: "Most of the rumors about them are apocryphal and too bizarre and exaggerated, although in the Chiyan Rebellion that year, in the face of the Xia and Han coalition forces, these Chiyan warriors almost wiped out the two countries with their own strength, but they also paid a painful price. ”

Lian Mu: "Indeed, today's Chiyan warriors may not be the Chiyan warriors of the past, and today's Xia Kingdom is indeed no longer the Xia Kingdom of the past." ”

Bu Weilan: "In just twenty years, he can quickly recover his strength and dominate Dongji, and he can do it in the Xia Kingdom! ”

Lian Mu: "You say, can the army of our Shu Kingdom defeat the Blood Tiger Cavalry of the Xia Kingdom?"

Bu Weilan: "If the blue wolf and the cold armor are still there, there should still be a fight." ”

Lian Mu: "Then you say, can this group of warriors beat the blue wolf and the cold armor?" ”

Bu Weilan: "Naturally, the blue wolf cold armor is better." ”

Lian Mu sighed: "Actually, I'm not sure if these current Chiyan warriors can beat the current Xia State army. ”

Facing Bu Weilan's thoughtless thinking, Lian Mu put down the wine glass in his hand. With deep eyes, after a sigh, he talked about the next dusty past.

Lian Mu: "Many years ago, I was ordered to hunt down forty samurai wearing heavy armor like them in the wind and snow. At that time, the Mingguang Armor had been disbanded, and I was in the wilderness. Originally, I planned to kill them alone, but the old lord knew that I was simply looking for death, but he didn't want me to die in the snow and no one collected my body, so I gave me a hundred blue wolf horses and two hundred cold armor troops. These blue wolf riders and cold armor armies are all good at one in a hundred, each of them is at the peak level of the ninth order, and they are all equipped with the most elite battle armor and swords in the entire Shu Kingdom. We set off from the Sunset Valley in Jibei and chased all the way. The blue wolf rode the "blue-eyed blue wolf", the cold armor army had the war horse "Feiyun", and those warriors only had one pair of feet. But we chased them for five days and four nights. At first, I didn't know how these forty samurai ran so fast. In fact, until now, I didn't know. But that doesn't matter anymore. We were approaching a snowfield near the Xiji Absolute Dragon Pass, and we had a fierce battle with this group of clumsy-looking Chiyan warriors. ”

"Childe has always been prosperous and prosperous, and he is accompanied by the blue wolf Hanjia," Bu Weilan got up and poured wine for Lian Mu, "Presumably the end of this battle ended with Childe's triumph." ”

"Indeed, I am the only one who has triumphed. Lian Mu's low words made the smile on the corner of Bu Weilan's mouth stagnate.

"In the face of these beasts in armor, the brothers who originally planned to collect my corpses all died in the white snowfield. After saying this, Lian Mu fell into a long silence. "Now, every year at the time of the Qing Festival, I burn a few pillars of incense to my brothers who died in that snowstorm. ”

Bu Weilan was surprised: "Chiyan warrior, is it really as powerful as rumored?"

Lian Mu recalled: "You never know what kind of monster will stand in front of you when they draw their swords. ”

"What happened in that snowstorm. Bu Weilan retained the part of doubt about what Lian Mu said. Lian Mu didn't answer his question directly, but just said to himself: "Legend has it that this group of Chiyan warriors are all the reincarnations of the heroic warriors of the Heavenly Emperor's eldest son "Xi", their swords and battle armor are all cast by the stars of the heavens, and the lowest level of warriors are at least the level of the peak of the tenth order, not to mention what kind of strength the middle and upper Chiyan warriors will have. ”

Bu Weilan looked at Lian Mu's slightly drunken face and did not interject.

"If you can give me 50,000 such warriors, let alone recover Jibei, even if it is to unify the world that is now divided into East and West, it will definitely not be a problem!" Lian Mu said solemnly, "These are all a group of divine warriors. ”

"With only 50,000 armor clothes, it is necessary to complete the vision of such a great cause of Wang Tu, which really makes Bu a certain longing and fascinated. Bu Weilan looked at Lian Mu, who looked solemn but a little drunk in front of him.

In Bu Weilan's memory, the performance of these Chiyan warriors recorded in the history books during the Chiyan Rebellion was terrifying, but it was not as exaggerated as Lian Mu said.

Bu Weilan thought that Lian Mu should be drunk, so he smiled and said: "Bu Mou has not dealt with this group of warriors, so he will not lie about it." It's just that Childe really believes that there are gods in this world?"

"I said I had seen it. Lian Mu's gaze fell on the wine glass, and then he looked at each other sincerely, "Do you believe it?" ”

Bu Weilan didn't feel that Lian Mu was joking, he tasted the wine in the wine glass carefully, and thought, this wine is indeed a "drunk" that the two of them often drink, this Lian Gongzi has only drunk a few glasses today, in the past, he was a few pots and pots of mouths, why is he drunk like this today?
