When he returned to Yecheng, Kou Daogu's identity had changed from King Xiangdong's staff to King Liang's adviser and attendant, and the scholars in the city were in an uproar, but he was completely unaffected, and his expression was as arrogant as ever.

Facing King Liang, he did not hide his hatred for Xu Ji, "Xu Ji is my lifelong enemy, and the Tiancheng Imperial Court does not take revenge, but protects Xu Ji, so he is also my enemy." Please ask the king of Liang to appoint me as an envoy, go north with the imperial court, and supervise his every move, if the lord of Huanyan has a trick, someone will inform the king of Liang in advance. ”

"There are few major generals in the imperial court, so I don't have to worry about it for the time being, I am only worried about one thing, if Tiancheng really borrowed the army from He Rongbu, he refused to follow his promise to move west to merge with the state, but turned around and wanted to capture Yecheng."

"The treacherous Lord of Huanyan is no less treacherous than Xu Ji, and she can't believe a word of what she said, King Liang needs to take precautions as soon as possible."

"There is Mr. Lao Kou going north, if there is any change, send someone to inform me at any time, if you can prevent Tiancheng from borrowing troops to go south to Yecheng in advance, it is the best. I only need three months, and before autumn, Yecheng will be solid in my hands, and I will not be afraid of the prying eyes of foreign enemies. ”

"I should do my best to lead the people of He Rong to Bingzhou. King Liang can't have the heart of sticking to Yecheng, and needs more planning. The imperial court broke with Huaizhou and encouraged King Ning to cross the river to the north to attack the Sheng family, and King Liang should do the opposite, win over the Sheng family, if he had no choice, he would rather give up the eastern capital, but also win the favor of the Sheng family, so as not to suffer enemies in the north and south. ”

Mr. Kou's words woke up the person in the dream, and if Mr. Kou hadn't reminded me, I almost missed a big incident. Mr. Guan can be described as a 'king teacher'. ”

Kou Daogu calmly accepted King Liang's compliment and left.

King Liang looked at his background and sneered at Gao Shengze, who was guarding his side: "Under the fame, it is actually difficult to match, this person is only a middle-aged person, but he is a good teacher, and he will suffer from it in the future." ”

Gao Shengze smiled and said: "No, what kind of person is King Liang, how could he be deceived by the county lord of Huanyan and form an alliance with Tiancheng?" Huaizhou soldiers are all over the vicinity of Yecheng, why did King Liang offend the Sheng family? Kou Daogu thought that only he could see through this, but in fact, King Liang had a plan in his heart. ”

King Liang sneered again, despised and liked the old eunuch at the same time, "I have inquired, he really hates Xu Ji, and by the way, he also hates the county lord Huanyan, this is good, let him go to the north to toss, no matter what the result is, it will not hurt me." ”

"His Majesty the King of Liang must make the best use of it, so although there are few Liang soldiers, he can stand proudly among the heroes." Gao Shengze carefully touted that it could not be too low, nor too high.

Kou Daogu couldn't hear the discussion behind him, and he didn't care, as the envoy of King Liang, he went out of the city to join the Tiancheng court.

Nominally, King Liang accepted the canonization of the imperial court and was regarded as a minister of heaven, and his envoys could certainly go north with the emperor, but Kou Daogu was regarded as a "traitor", and no one paid attention to him along the way, but he got a lot of white eyes, and he was still unmoved, and he never interacted with others.

Shan Yu invited the emperor to meet, but Kou Daogu insisted on driving to He Rongren's camp and obtained permission.

Zhang Shiyu only cared about his own safety, and didn't even notice that there was a Kou Daogu among his entourage, and the county lord of Huanyan thought that he needed to appease King Liang at present, so he did not object.

Camps, inspections, banquets...... Kou Daogu has always followed the emperor and has not received any attention - he does not drink, although he is large, he looks like a weak scholar, and he is not valued by He Rongren.

The banquet lasted until the second half of the night, the guests and hosts were drunk, He Rong Pingshan stood up, and claimed in public that he did not want to marry Princess Fangde again.

The drunken adults of He Rongbu cheered in unison, most of them were already delirious, as long as they simply spoke loudly, they immediately expressed their support, and there was no second word.

He Rong Pingshan still felt that his face was damaged, but he didn't have to fight for Xu Ji's surrender anymore, he was greatly relieved and didn't care about anything else.

Although his sister's reputation was belittled, Zhang Shiyu only felt Shan Yu's kindness at this time, and he was also greatly relieved, and promised on the spot to choose another daughter in the clan to marry King Zuo Shenwei as his wife.

Everyone was happy, except for one.

When the hustle and bustle subsided, Kou Daogu stepped forward and bowed to Shan Yu, showing his identity.

"King Liang? The Liang King who occupies Yecheng? Qiangjian Shan Yu was also a little drunk, and suddenly heard these two words, a little confused.

"Exactly, but King Liang is not 'occupying Yecheng', but is ordered to guard Yecheng."

Shan Yu looked at the emperor, Zhang Shiyu reluctantly nodded, "Yes, King Liang has been canonized by the imperial court." ”

Qiangjian Shan Yu understood what was going on in his heart, so he didn't ask any more questions, picked up his wine glass, and said to Kou Daogu: "The person who comes is a guest, please drink it full." ”

Immediately, a servant gave a glass of wine to the guest.

Qiang Shan Yu suddenly put down the wine glass in his hand, "Since you are the envoy of King Liang, you can't wait for a small cup." ”

The servant understood the intention, replaced the two large bowls, and poured them all full.

Qiang Shan Yu picked up the bowl, "Go back and tell your family King Liang, guard Yecheng well, and don't let the emperor's brother-in-law worry about it." For us He Rongbu, nothing is more important than family, and the emperor's brother-in-law is my family. With that, he gulped down his drink, his throat squirmed, and he quickly drank all the bowl of wine, leaving only a few drops at the corners of his mouth.

There was another cheer in the tent.

Kou Daogu held a large bowl of wine in both hands, feeling that his stomach was all empty, and it seemed that he couldn't hold so much wine, staring for a moment, vaguely seeing Xu Ji's smile, a ruthless heart, raising the bowl to drink, spilling a lot, and the placket was wet, but there was still more than half a bowl of mouth, and he immediately felt that the world was spinning, and he was a little unsteady on his feet.

But he didn't fall, and he still knew what he was going to do.

No one cheered for him, but there was a little more interest in Qiangjian Shan Yu's eyes, "Are you a scholar?" ”

"I'm a reader."

"It is said that the scholars of the Central Plains are the most loyal, why are you the envoy of King Liang and not the emperor's official?"

"There are no two heavens and no two lords in the country, and the king of Liang and the ministers of the king of Liang are all the ministers of the emperor."

"It's true that there are no two heavens, and there are no two masters in the country—aren't I and the emperor two masters?"

Zhang Shiyu's face changed slightly, and he wondered in his heart, how did Kou Daogu come along, he was so tall, he hadn't noticed it all the time.

"It's not." Kou Daogu said with certainty.

"Who is the Lord of the 'Two'?" Qiangjian Shan Yu asked again, more interested.

Zhang Shiyu wished that there was a place to hide, so that he could avoid this embarrassing scene, so he picked up the wine glass and looked down, as if the whole person could get in.

Kou Daogu arched his hand and said: "The emperor is the lord of the 'no two' in the Central Plains, and Shan Yu is the lord of the 'no two' outside the Saiwai. ”

"Haha, it sounds good, but it's actually still the 'second master'."

"Otherwise, the Central Plains does not regard the outside of the Central Plains as the land of Kyushu, and the Central Plains does not take the Central Plains as a grazing ground, and it is natural that each is the master of the 'non-two'."

"The Central Plains and Saiwai are close neighbors, and the ones separated by each other are just a wall.

"If you become one family, there is only one 'two' lord."

"Haha." Shan Yu looked at the embarrassed emperor and laughed non-stop.

The little emperor didn't understand what the adults were saying, he just wanted to please Shan Yu, and said: "Shan Yu's sister is my Tiancheng queen, and she is already a family." ”

"It's a family." Shan Yu said with a smile.

Kou Daogu said: "It's still a little short of a family." ”

Qiang Arm Shan Yu's interest was exhausted, and he said coldly: "King Liang and I are not related or related, and we are indeed not a family. ”

"If you talk about kinship, the Shen family is the real 'family'."

Qiangjian Shan Yu's face sank, Zhang Shiyu couldn't bear it anymore, and reminded with a smile: "If Mr. Kou continues, even the ministers of King Liang can't do it." ”

Kou Dao ignored the emperor and arched his hand: "Since it is a family, why is Shan Yu unwilling to marry Princess Tiancheng?" ”

Zhang Shiyu coughed vigorously, and Shan Yu was a little confused, "The princess has lost her morality." ”

"The princess is indeed a little more temperamental, but she is not a woman. Growing up in the emperor's house, there are some pampering, and Shan Yu's sister must be the same. ”

If it was the kings of the Central Plains on the other side, it would be regarded as a humiliation when he heard this, but Shan Yu laughed, turned his head to the emperor and said: "My sister is indeed disobedient and accustomed to freedom on the grassland, I hope I don't embarrass my brother-in-law." ”

"No, no, not at all." Zhang Shiyu hurriedly said.

Shan Yu looked at Kou Daogu again, "In this way, the rumors are wrong, Princess Fangde is not a person who does not abide by women's virtues?" ”

"The Emperor's House, although pampered, will not relax in etiquette. Princess Fondt is dignified and generous, which can be called exemplary. ”

Shan Yu snorted, not very interested in "dignified and generous", "But she dared to run away from marriage." ”

"The princess thought that she was going to marry outside the Saiwai, so she ran away from marriage, and now that He Rongbu has entered the customs, she naturally doesn't have to run away."

"Doesn't she look down on life outside the Cypriots?"

"No, the princess loves polo the most, she doesn't touch it for a day, she doesn't like it all day long, she thinks she can't touch it anymore when she gets to the outside of the plug."

Shan Yu knows what polo is, "We He Rong people have many horse games, and none of them is worse than polo. ”

"The princess is young and knows very little about the outside world."

"A princess who loves to play polo." Shan Yu laughed.

"And the princess's appearance is unparalleled in the world, when she is still in the Eastern Capital, she is known as 'Peerless', and the noble daughter of Yecheng has also said, 'Rather live on the lonely building, than stand on the side of Fangde', and dare not compete with it."

"Haha, the more the envoy said, the more exaggerated it became. Brother-in-law, the princess really looks like this. ”

"Ah...... It's not ugly. Zhang Shiyu said.

"Your Majesty is too modest. King Zuo Shenwei had seen the princess, and Shan Yu could ask him. ”

He Rong Pingshan had been standing beside him, and when he saw Shan Yu's gaze, he nodded and said, "Although the princess has a bad temper, her appearance is indeed unparalleled." ”

"But you don't want to marry?"

"A good bow needs a long arm to pull, and a fierce horse needs the best rider to control it, and I don't have the ability to do that." He Rongpingshan looked ashamed.

"He Rong boy, worthy of any woman!"

Kou Daogu took a step forward and arched his hand: "Although the Zuo Shenwei King is worthy of it, but after all, he is estranged, if he wants to kiss and kiss, Princess Fangde needs to be the wife of Shan Yu." ”

Shan Yu was slightly stunned, and Zhang Shiyu blurted out: "Shan Yu already has a wife." ”

Kou Daogu had already prepared, "Shan Yu can have two wives, and in the past ten generations, at least three Shan Yu have two wives." ”

Qiang Jian didn't know the past of his clan alone, and asked an old man who accompanied the wine, "Is this an example?" ”

The old man nodded, "Yes." ”

Shan Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Even if there is this case, I can't take the wife of the Zuo Shenwei King." ”

"King Zuo Shenwei has already withdrawn from the marriage, how can he say that he will take his wife?"

"Just drink tonight and don't gossip." Shan Yu refused to take a stand.

Kou Daogu knew that the matter had been completed, so he didn't talk any further, walked to He Rongpingshan's side, and said in a low voice: "Xu Ji has an old relationship with the princess, so you can't let him go." ”

He Rongpingshan nodded slightly, not saying a word.
