Chapter 30: A dilemma
This meeting ended unhappily in the end, a group of generals blew cattle for a long time, and finally was wiped out by my artillery fire, but still agreed to the covenant of the daughter country - I didn't expect this, Xiao Zhi said with reason and emotion for a long time without the slightest effect, and finally achieved the goal by sprinkling laid...... This reminds me of when I was a child, saying that once I wanted to buy a transformer, I begged my dad for a long time and refused to agree, of course he was not short of money, my dad everyone knows, he is a bastard but has a literary heart, probably from which magazine to see that boys can't be pampered, I stalked and promised to study hard in the future and promised to help Aunt Meng wash the dishes every day, my dad never let go, and finally made me anxious, threatening to run away from home if I didn't buy it for me, As a result, a set of Transformers as tall as a TV appeared on my desk the next day, which shows that there is no unattainable goal in this world, but you use the wrong method - you can't use literary tricks to deal with 2B youth! And although it is said that people cannot lie on the merit book to breathe, my merit book is extraordinary, and it has reached the length of a footcloth, which is still enough for me to breathe for a while...... Everyone stepped out of the big tent one after another, and I was just about to leave when I heard Shi Cun say: "Wulang, you stay!" I had to stop, and when I saw that everyone else was going out, I was embarrassed and said, "Hehe, grandpa is looking for me?" ”
Shi Cundao stared at me and said solemnly, "Why do you advocate an alliance? ”
"Because we can only work together ......"
Shi Cundao snorted coldly and said, "Don't tell me these big truths!" He squinted at me and said, "I'm afraid it's not the first time you've seen that Su Jing, right?" ”
I was startled and subconsciously said, "How do you know? ”
Shi Cundao slapped the table: "I should have thought of this a long time ago, let me ask you, not only Su Jing, have you even seen Zhao Fanghua?" ”
I knew that I had lost my mouth, and it was too late to deny it, my heart was in turmoil, thinking that Shi Cundao had already seen through my details, and I couldn't help but say nervously: "How much else do you know?" "As long as Shi Cundao shows a little hostility, I have made plans to rush out of the camp immediately and pull Su Jing to escape, but I don't know if I can succeed.
Shi Cundao glared at me angrily and said: "At the beginning, you split the Camel Mountain, and the Feifeng Army of the Daughter Country was on the border of the Eighteen Kingdoms, Zhao Fanghua naturally wanted to treat you as a guest of honor after discovering your identity, and welcomed you in every possible way, her intention to form an alliance with our Honglie Empire had already planted seeds in you at that time, am I right?" ”
When I heard that this was the case, I wiped my sweat and said, "This is ...... That's right. ”
Shi Cundao nodded and said: "This Zhao Fanghua is really not simple, she knows that you are my grandson, and she speculated that you will definitely become an upstart in our army in the future, so many years the daughter country has been bent on forming an alliance with us, Zhao Fanghua took the opportunity to arrange this secret chess move early, it can be seen that this person is scheming, I see that you are sneaky, but you insist on the alliance, so I thought of this step - those excuses are also what she taught you, right?" ”
I smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Shengming, I can't hide anything from you." ”
Shi Cun said: "And you agreed with a mouthful of words, and even made a package ticket, which is not wrong, right?" ”
I had to pretend to be scared and said, "That's right. On the other hand, I really admire Shi Cundao, although his guess is still a certain distance from the truth, but the old man is still more difficult to deceive than I thought, then again, I am still very tender in this ability to play with others.
Shi Cundao's tone slowed down: "Over the years, you have been treated with white eyes and cold reception in the Shi family, and at first glance, when someone flatters you, you lose your bearings, and you can't think about anything, and you can't blame you for it, grandpa and your father are both responsible." ”
I sneered, "Now that you know, why are you willing to agree?" I was startled and said, "You're not trying to do it, are you?" ”
Shi Cundao shook his head and said: "The reason why I agreed to form an alliance is because I feel that Zhao Fanghua is quite sincere, since she knows that you are the reincarnation of the Sword God, it would be too unwise if she still wanted to fight the crooked idea of our Honglie Empire, besides, I have to give you a face, you have a special status now, and it is no longer your personal honor and disgrace to be discredited." ”
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you, grandpa, no wonder people say that being a grandson is better than being a grandfather, when the grandson stabbed Lou Zi and grandpa to the back of the palace to carry the black cauldron, the reverse is not good." ”
Shi Cundao also had a smile in the corner of his eyes, but then he said: "Wulang, you remember, this kind of thing is not an example, you must think one more step in the future, now the stability of the army's heart is all about you, and the emperor's meaning is also very clear, you will be the commander of the entire Honglie Army in 5 years at most, how can I rest assured that I will hand over the army to you when you are always so reckless?" ”
I laughed twice and didn't respond to this stubble, and said in my heart that I might not know where I would be in 5 years, your army should be handed over to your true grandson, even if I am comfortable serving the Honglie Empire, I don't have this ambition - the lonely old man left the house to the nanny and the children on his deathbed and had to fight a lawsuit, and my family must not pick up the ancestral grave of my Long family?
After finishing the matter, Shi Cundao chatted with me for a few words, I saw that his eyes had been touching back and forth in my hand, looking down, it turned out to be looking at the Qingxuan Sword, this sword is very big, after the death of the sword god in the previous life, it has become a symbol of reading power in the world, and Shi Cundao's love for weapons has also reached the level of paranoia, I remember that on his 80th birthday, Shi Diyang asked Wu Heizi's descendants to create a treasure knife for him, Wu Heizi is the swordsmith who cast the Qingxuan Sword, although he did not do it himself, people were also amazed, Shi Cundao is even more in love, and today he saw Qingxuan Sword with his own eyes, and his excitement can be imagined.
I casually handed the sword forward and said, "You? ”
Shi Cundao hesitated for a moment before holding it with both hands, solemnly holding down the hilt of the sword and slowly pulling out the sword sheath, he couldn't help but praise: "Good sword!" In my eyes, it is nothing more than a shiny long sword, seeing that Shi Cundao is so serious, he smiled and said: "What if you really like to exchange cigarette pouches with me?" ”
Shi Cundao didn't dare to come out, as if he was afraid of the obscenity. As if he had desecrated the sword, he slowly returned the sword to its sheath and then glared at me and said, "Nonsense! How can Qing Xuanjian make jokes! He put the sword back in my hand and said seriously, "You must take good care of this sword, maybe one day you can hold it and make the heroes of the world think that I will use it." ”
I pouted and said, "It's not a dragon slayer." ”
The big thing was decided, so Shi Cundao ordered Pu Qixiong and Shi Dong Shi Chi to return to their headquarters to continue to prevent Haggis from attacking the city, and he planned to hold an alliance ceremony tomorrow, because I needed to be present, so I stayed in Shinshu for the time being.
As soon as I walked out of the tent, I heard someone in the corner shouting to me in a low voice: "Fifth brother, fifth brother!" ”
I looked back and saw that it was Steeyan: "Big brother? Why didn't you go back to Lizhou? ”
Stilyan muttered, "Well, I'll be late for a while." ”
"Are you looking for me?"
Stilyan lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, kicked the small rocks on his toes, and pretended to be casual, "I mean...... Grandfather agreed to form an alliance about that...... That Su Jing doesn't know yet, right? ”
"I don't know, what's wrong?"
Stilyan said in a lower voice: "I see if we should go and tell her in advance, first, let her prepare, and second, everyone will be allies in the future, and we should go and say congratulations." ”
I held up my chin and said with interest, "Isn't it the same if you go by yourself?" What are you pulling me for? ”
Stilyang buried his head and said, "You and she are both sword gods, so it looks solemn to go together." ”
This is the first time I've seen Stilyan like this, this Shi family's eldest grandson has the style of a father, he has always been dignified and calm, today he is like a hairy boy, although I am not a veteran of the love field, but the bystanders are clear, and I also understand what is going on, I have mixed emotions and said: "Big brother......
Stilyan looked up and said, "Huh? ”
I sighed and said, "Hey, it's nothing, then let's go together." ”
The two of us walked side by side to the pavilion, and along the way Stilyan didn't say a word, like a child who had done something wrong, and his face became more and more red, and when I just reported that we were coming, Stilyan's face was already red and about to drip blood, and he suddenly said at a loss: "I think I still won't go in." Saying that, I turned around and was about to leave, but I grabbed him and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Stilyan struggled, "Next time, next time......"
At this time, I heard Su Jing's voice and said: "Mr. Sword God has arrived, and Su Jing has missed the distance." She probably thought it was just me coming, and she was frowning, but Stilyan saw her expression even more panicked, and lowered her head and said, "No, no, it's us who took the liberty of bothering." ”
Su Jing asked me with his eyes, and I hurriedly introduced: "This is my eldest brother Stilyan, who is now serving in the Pioneer Battalion. ”
Su Jing straightened up and said, "It turned out to be General Shi." ”
Shi Teyan said: "Don't dare, it's just a four-grade general." ”
Su Jing nodded and said, "Oh." ”
This is even worse, everything is afraid of a "oh" word, since the day there is QQ, this word has been regarded as a chat killer, because no matter what the other party says, answering an oh can be counted as a response, indicating that you know what you see, but the potential meaning is understood by everyone, it actually means that I am not interested, not cold, such as a class reunion you said to a female classmate who you have had a crush on for a long time: My company will be listed tomorrow. The other party replied with an oh, make sure that any sense of accomplishment you have will be lost; In another case, you said that you set up an old Yanjing cloth shoe stall on the edge of the public toilet in an underground shopping mall outside the fifth ring road, and the other party said: Ah, really, one day I will patronize you will have to give my old classmates a discount, and you still say that your eyebrows are flying and dancing, and the thief's heart is not dead and the heart is rising, the former kind is a typical can't talk, either people already have more than a dozen listed companies, or an old cloth shoe stall has been set up next to the public toilet and has been dead like a lamp, anyway, I have no idea about you.
Su Jing was like this, and Stilyan was even more ashamed of himself, and he didn't know what to say. In fact, this is not Su Jing's snobbery or what, she can't socialize, and besides, she is sent by the emperor every day in her daughter's country, and there is no concept of nobility in her eyes at all, whether Stilyan is a fourth grade or a prince, at best, it can only be exchanged for an "oh" word.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, I hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "Su Jianshen, my grandfather has already agreed to the alliance between your country and my country. ”
Su Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is really a gratifying thing. ”
I pointed at Stilyan and said, "My eldest brother has contributed a lot to this, if it weren't for his strength, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly." ”
Su Jing nodded at Stilyan: "Thank you so much, in fact, this matter is beneficial to both of our countries, and I hope that from now on we can sincerely cooperate together to fight against Hagis." ”
Shi Diyan couldn't help but say: "Where and where ......" He was excited and a series of these two words, when Su Jing said "sincere cooperation" he was still saying "where, where", it sounded nondescript to outsiders, even the three of us felt funny, Su Jing finally couldn't help but smile, and then Shi Diyan and I also laughed. In this way, the atmosphere eased a lot, Shi Diyang secretly glanced at Su Jing, and couldn't find anything to say for a while, so he had to clench his fists and say: "There is still military affairs in the body, so I will leave." ”
Su Jing was not polite, nodded, and said goodbye to Stilyang, Stilyang was relieved and reluctant, after all, he didn't dare to look back again, and fled as if he was fleeing. I looked at his back and suddenly said, "Until I realized why he was talking to you just now - he was afraid that he wouldn't see you in the future." ”
Su Jing didn't seem interested in this topic, and said, "Is it right that your strength is out of the crowd?" ”
I sighed with emotion: "It's almost lying on the ground and spilling, and Shi Cundao speculates that we have met in Camel Mountain, so we don't need to hide it in the future-" I touched Su Jing with my shoulder, "Don't just talk about this, tell me how you feel about my eldest brother." ”
Su Jing smiled indifferently and said noncommittally: "With his net worth and background, there should be many girls in the Honglie Empire who like him." "I was also very curious about this at the beginning, Steeyang was in his 30s and had not married a wife, which seemed to be a very rare thing in ancient times, and later learned that the Shi family has always had a tradition of late marriage, which is not difficult to understand, the ancestors of the Shi family began to serve in the army, and all of them were high and powerful, and they inevitably devoted themselves to military affairs, from the perspective of the past three generations, Shi Cundao and Shi Chi Shi Dong The three brothers are all late marriages, so it is nothing when Shi Diyan's generation is 30 years old, but the children of the Shi family are all fragrant and sweet, In the past, in addition to the waste firewood, there were more than a dozen people who came to propose marriage to the four brothers in Yangwei Qizhou every month. Of course, girls are another matter, they can't be in politics or the army, so they still marry out early like ordinary people, and Shi Cundao has to give Shi Dijia to Gu Debiao.
I followed Su Jing's ass and asked, "Don't interrupt, just say what is your impression of him?" ”
"Boring!" Su Jing turned around and left, and then said to me: "It's okay in the future, don't you keep coming to me, aren't you afraid of attracting attention?" ”
I said aggrievedly: "Didn't I come with my eldest brother?" Saying that, I hummed "Left and Right", "On the one hand, friendship, on the other hand, love, left and right are not embarrassed by themselves......"
My wife skipped dinner in order to lose weight, and then she dreamed yesterday that the community had an essay contest, and then I desperately made it to the top three, and the prize was a big cake. This is a typical bizarre process for the simplest of purposes, and in our industry parlance, this is irrigation!
