"You don't have any hatred in private. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Duke Cao Shang looked at Sun Long and smiled faintly.

In the past, the twelve CPCs, who enjoyed the VIP renewal, have now been reduced to second-rate existences, and their emotions are relatively low.

You, naturally, refer to the relationship between Sun Long and the young swordsman, this Sun Long understands.

Sun Long had a faint smile on his face, although he was not a good person who was kind to others, but he still recognized the superficial truth that one more friend would have one less enemy.

"As long as he doesn't trouble me, I don't mind reconciling with him."

Sun Long directly threw out his thoughts.

Duke Cao Shang was overjoyed.

……

In the afternoon, Duke Cao Shang held a grand banquet.

This is an unusually prosperous banquet, held in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, and the people invited are all first-class magnates in Chongwu Prefecture, and they are all absolute pro-Cao faction, as for some people who don't know much about current affairs, of course, they are also invited.

The scene was very warm and grand.

It can be clearly seen that the eleven Taibao have all gathered together to drink bitter wine, and their attitudes are relatively cloudy, and it can be clearly felt that they are not in a very good mood at this time.

Both of his arms were broken, and it took a period of recuperation to recover his health, so he was absent.

Sun Long found a relatively quiet corner, and his eyes swept over the guests who came and went.

Just before this lavish banquet began, Sun Long had already told Cao Shang his opinion.

The purpose was very simple, he asked Duke Cao Shang to withdraw his troops.

Retire the horses and soldiers sent to the Brute Mountains.

Sun Long did not deliberately hide his identity, but with the current strength and status of Duke Cao Shang in Chongwu Prefecture, the military and political power is controlled in the palm of his hand, and the removal of the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range is simply a matter of one sentence.

So the crisis in the Brute Mountains is solved.

However, Sun Long decided not to return to the Brute Beast Mountain Range for the time being.

Because he was keenly aware that although Chongwu Prefecture was relatively low among the fifteen states of the empire, the identity and status of this Duke of Cao Shang were very unusual.

He is a direct descendant of Cao Feng, the ruler of today's Shenwu State, especially in today's situation, the power of his relatives has completely divided one-third of the world, and he has become the most potential competitor in the world.

And the two strong opponents he has to face, Zhuge Longjiang of the Quanchen faction, and Duke Huo Tuo, represented by the Ministry of War, each has a stable force to help them and make the last effort to fight for the world.

……

These things seem to be very distant from Sun Long, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, they have a lot to do with him.

It is not difficult to kill a few strong people of the Spirit Rhino Country, but it is relatively difficult to subvert their society. Moreover, it is easy to win the world and it is difficult to sit in the world, and if all obstacles and nails are not removed, the future world will still be unstable.

If Sun Long wants to help Huang Shang, he must help her solve her difficulties as much as possible.

Perhaps, with the help of Cao Shang's springboard, he can take down the Shenwu Kingdom faster.

As the most suitable barrier and ally, as long as the Shenwu Kingdom exists, the Spirit Rhino Kingdom will not be threatened by the cold lips and teeth. And if the Shenwu Kingdom becomes more and more powerful, it will also be a beneficial ally for the Lingxi Country.

Now it depends on Cao Shang's attitude.

Sun Long was thinking about the difference between Cao Shang and Wang Yuan in his heart.

One is that the magnates of the empire hold the vast majority of power, have a very keen understanding of talents, have great ambitions for the world, and have great enthusiasm for his career.

The sum of these conditions can show that he is indeed very suitable for planning the world.

If it was in the past, Sun Long would have hoped that such a person would exist, because his existence would greatly shorten the time of the war in this Shenwu Kingdom, so that this empire with a depth of tens of thousands of kilometers would end the war, and the creatures living in this land would be free from the devastation of the war as soon as possible.

However, the meaning is completely different now.

If the strength of the Shenwu Kingdom didn't mean anything to Huang Shang, then what Sun Long was doing now would be meaningless.

Therefore, the Shenwu Kingdom must be beneficial to Huang Shang.

In other words, if Cao Shang was in power, he would have to be beneficial to Huang Shang.

Sun Long was observing.

……

"Why don't you share a drink with me if this little brother is so lonely?"

Ying Ying's whisper sounded in her ears, and a beautiful woman with huge waves sat beside Sun Long with a glass of red wine.

A fragrant wind that aroused people's primal desires drowned Sun Long, and then the first thing he saw was the huge waves that all women would be jealous of, and the slightly naked half of the silhouette, which made people's blood gush.

This is a woman with a proud figure, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, which is the age of maturity and coquettishness, especially the provocative eyes and the provocative tone, all of which make Sun Long's heart tremble slightly.

"Okay."

casually took a cup on the food table, Sun Zilong also poured the wine syrup that was bright red as blood, and a fragrant wine smell emanated, which made people feel refreshed.

Touching the air with this bewitching woman, Sun Long took a sip.

It's a little bitter.

But fortunately, as long as you get used to it, this wine is still quite good.

……

The banquet soon began with the appearance of Duke Cao Shang.

Only then did Sun Long know that the woman in front of him turned out to be the most famous courtesan in Chongwu Prefecture.

It is said that countless powerful people in the city have a relationship with her.

Of course, promiscuity is also one of her stains.

Sun Long didn't know much about this, but he felt that the woman in front of him was very special, she looked very weak, and even her strength was only around the martial artist, but her knowledge couldn't even compare to Sun Long.

Just chatted for a while, Sun Long's emotions were gradually mobilized, so that Sun Long had a great affection for her and a very special feeling.

Duke Cao Shang began to speak.

The content of what he said was very boring, and it was exactly the opening remarks of the standard banquet guests on the mainland.

The boilerplate speech lasted for almost thirty seconds, and then ended with a round of applause.

Of course, Duke Cao Shang's purpose in inviting many guests was not just to invite them to a meal, he had more important things to do, and in his opinion, this matter was very necessary.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have gained a Tiger General today, and he will be the supreme governor of the Brute Mountain Range region from now on. You may have a chance to become friends in the future, and today you all know each other. ”

Duke Cao Shang had a rich smile on his face, and in a word, he pushed Sun Long to the forefront.

The bewitching woman winked at Sun Long, and then showed a very sexy hint, looking very appreciative of his appearance.

Sun Long shrugged his shoulders casually, although he was in the stage of puberty, the beauties around him had never stopped.

Although it is not as coquettish and enchanting as the woman in front of him, it can be regarded as a national beauty, and Sun Long's primitive desire is not so strong, so naturally he will not lose his sense of proportion because of this.

Without making any special response, Sun Long came to Duke Cao Shang's side under the gaze of countless people.

"This little brother is called Sun Long, and we welcome him with applause."

Duke Cao Shang took the lead in applauding.

Enthusiastic as the wave of applause drowned out Sun Long, this warm welcome made Sun Long a little moved, waved his hand and signaled to these people, after all, people are enthusiastic and can't respond with a cold ass.

Duke Cao Shang's eyes flickered.

He was noticing every subtle change in the people present.

Although it is said that there can be about 100 guests present.

But there are always a few of them who seem to be unsociable and uncooperative, there is no smile on their faces, and they also look a little bitter and hateful, when the eyes fall on these people, Duke Cao Shang's gaze is crossed with a cold color.

……

"You know it's hard to fight a war right now. Especially when I lead my troops into battle, those under my command will be like wolf cubs, waiting for me to be their leader, and there is nothing they can do about it. I just hope that all of you present can give material support to the Duke's Palace as much as possible as before. After all, it is for the empire, and it is also for yourself, and the safety of your property is inseparable from the efforts of the City Lord's Mansion. Here, I, Cao Shang, please everyone. ”

After introducing Sun Long, Cao Shang then threw out another topic.

Sun Long was silent at this time, he knew that today's banquet could not be held just to announce his identity and relationship with Cao Shang, because it was completely meaningless, for the aristocratic class of Chongwu Prefecture, what generals under Cao Shang had nothing to do with them was not very big.

The reason why he wants to introduce him may be that Cao Shang thinks that only by fully demonstrating his strength can he attract these nobles in Chongwu Prefecture to serve him even more desperately!

After all, the world is in a state of disintegration, and everyone is like duckweed in the sea, which may be broken by the waves at any time.

Finding a fixed object to grab onto, and clinging to a large tree on a large boat may be the wisest option for them to gain a full sense of security.

But Sun Long also understood that today's banquet was just a small episode that pushed him out.

Because Cao Shang has more personal eyes in it.

Really.

After hearing Cao Shang's words, about half of the merchants suddenly showed some embarrassed expressions, obviously making them feel a little uneasy about the so-called material support.

Many of the aristocracy looked at each other.

But no one took the initiative to express their opinions.

The scene turned out to be a little cold.

……

"You bastards are under the protection of our duke, and now that you are used, you are still pushing back, do you want to die?"

A certain purple-haired Taibao stood up with a male duck in his throat and defied all the aristocracy.

All the aristocracy was stupid.

Although they were very uncomfortable under such threats, they did not dare to show their temper and anger under the roof.

"Don't be rude and don't give me back!"

Cao Shang directly said coldly, this Taibao drank and retreated.

These two have a white face and a red face, and they sing quite harmoniously.

Looking at these aristocrats who were greeting one by one, Cao Shang's eyes were scorching, and he said: "The empire is a difficult time, and it is inseparable from your help, I hope you can understand my difficulties and try your best to help the Duke's Palace, everyone is friends in private, don't be unhappy for these little things, it's not good for anyone." ”

Although this statement seems to be a discussion in name, it is in fact irrefutable.

Cao Shang's eyes flickered.

All the aristocratic class were in no mood to continue the banquet at this time.

……

"Duke Cao Shang, our business is all legal business, you make trouble with you, we can't care about the war, and we don't want to care about the war. The decision on how much dedication to make and how much love to show is in our hands, not in the hands of you, Duke Cao Shang, right? ”

A middle-aged man in a gorgeous costume said.

This person seemed to have a little temper, and he didn't mean to be afraid of Cao Shang at all.

"Now that the empire is in turmoil, our business has also been greatly affected, and it is very difficult for us to survive now, what can we use to subsidize the Duke's Palace? If you continue to do this, we really won't be able to survive! ”
