Chapter 103 [Don't Fall Behind] (II)

Hogg laughed, "This king was about to say that." The two of them touched the bowl and drank it down. Hu Xiaotian is not inferior in front of Hogg today, no matter his courage or aura, there is no way, who let Zhou Wang Longye on their side not be able to get on the stage, not only is the amount of alcohol not good, but the courage is even worse. Compared with the twelve princes of Sharjah in front of him, he is completely inferior. As a citizen of Dakang, Hu Xiaotian has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders today, undertaking the task of winning glory for the country, and on the surface he talks and laughs with Hogg, but in private, the two are fighting wits and courage and competing with each other.

Mo Zili was always on the side, seeing that Hu Xiaotian was calm and calm in front of the prince and had the style of a general, at this time he understood the reason why King Zhou valued him, no wonder King Zhou would give him a beautiful slave girl, this guy is indeed extraordinary.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that you came here this time to propose marriage, but I don't know which princess Your Highness has taken a fancy to?" ”

Hogg said: "Princess Anping! ”

Hu Xiaotian didn't know who Princess Anping was, after all, the old emperor had many children, but he was afraid that even he couldn't remember how many daughters he had, and he was about to ask further.

Mo Zili said on the side: "Your Highness, we should go. He could see that Hu Xiaotian was knocking on the side, trying to extract more information from Hogg.

Hogg smiled, "Good! He patted Hu Xiaotian on the shoulder and said, "You and I hit it off at first sight, and we will be closer in the future." Put the short knife he had just used to shoot poisonous snakes into the sheath, hold it in the palm of his hand and hand it to Hu Xiaotiandao: "First meeting, a small gift, I hope Lord Hu will accept it with a smile." Hu Xiaotian saw the various colored gems dotted on the scabbard and already knew that this short knife was of extraordinary value, so he quickly took it with both hands.

Diplomatic etiquette is about personal courtesy. Hu Xiaotian couldn't accept other people's things in vain, and immediately pulled out his dagger from the boots, this dagger was still a gift from his future father-in-law Li Tianheng, Hu Xiaotian said: "The sword is given to the strong man, and the red powder is given to the beauty." This dagger is a gift from my father-in-law, and I will give it to His Royal Highness the Prince today. ”

Hogg heard that this gift came from like this. also knew that the significance to Hu Xiaotian was extraordinary, so he also took it with both hands, held the dagger in his hand and already felt that this dagger was extraordinary, and pulled out a blade from the black shark skin sheath and suddenly felt the cold air pressing, and he was holding a sharp weapon that sharpened iron like clay, which was no worse than the short knife he gave to the other party.

Hu Xiaotian also pulled out a short knife, in fact, he had seen the sharpness of the short knife when he cut the snake with Hogg's flying knife just now, and at this time, when he looked closely, he found that although the blade was not shiny, it was covered with hexagonal dark lines. Like a beehive. This is a special forging process in Sharjah, and the weapons made of zuò are tough and sharp, and the strength is great. Hu Xiaotianxin said that Lao Tzu did not suffer a loss, not to mention anything else, just the gems on the scabbard are deducted and sold separately, and they are worth a lot of silver.

Hogg couldn't put down the dagger given to him by Hu Xiaotian, and he smiled: "Dare to ask Lord Hu's father-in-law's name?" ”

Hu Xiaotianxin said that Hogg was still a barbarian after all, how could he ask so directly. But it doesn't hurt to sue you, he said softly: "His old man is the founding prince of Xichuan." Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu envoy Li. A word wakes up the dreamer.

Li Tianheng has been operating in Xichuan for many years, and the people of Sharjah have experienced countless wars, it is precisely because of his existence that he has ensured the peace of the southwest border of Dakang for more than ten years, in the hearts of the people of Sharjah, Li Tianheng's reputation is by no means inferior to that of Emperor Dakang, Hogg once again clasped his fists and saluted: "Brother Hu." Master Li is one of the three heroes of the world that I admire the most in my heart, which is really disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Hu Xiaotian didn't expect his future father-in-law to be so stylish, even the prince of Shajia was his fan, he smiled: "I have admired your Great Khan for a long time, in my heart." He is also a big hero who stands up to the sky! Hu Xiaotian actually didn't have much impression of Sang Muzha, and saying these words was just a courtesy exchange and a false compliment.

Hogg was overjoyed when he heard it, and he grabbed Hu Xiaotian's wrist and said, "Come, you and I have another drink." "Just now I was drinking to test each other under the banner of appreciation, and now this glass of wine is aimed at each other's net worth background. The two drank another bowl, and Hogg felt that it was not enough, so he filled the wine bowl again, picked up the wine bowl and said: "Brother Hu, you and I hit it off at first sight, and your father-in-law is a big hero and hero I admire." Why don't you and I get married as brothers with different surnames? ”

Hu Xiaotianxin said that I rely on it, and I want to bow down, and I dare to love the people of Shajia, and this set is also popular. Hogg shouldn't have drunk much, don't look at him drinking so much wine, but he is sober and fluent in speech, this person is a huge amount of people who are not drunk with a thousand cups, he didn't mention the matter of worshipping just now, and now he suddenly said that he wants to worship, it must be for my father-in-law's sake, it seems that from ancient times to the present, it has been popular to fight father, and father-in-law is also counted. Without such a family background, Hogg would not have deigned to make such a request. Hu Xiaotian said: "Your Royal Highness, your status is respected, but I'm afraid that I can't climb high." ”

Hogg said: "Hey, what are you talking about, as long as you don't dislike me as an elder brother." Dragged Hu Xiaotian's hand to an open place, and knelt down in the direction of due west, Hu Xiaotian could only kneel down with him. Hogg said: "Immortal Heaven is above, I, Hogg and Hu Xiaotian today voluntarily became brothers with different surnames, from now on, I will be blessed and enjoy hardships together, if I break my oath, I will die with arrows!" He drew a feathered arrow from his quiver, and broke it with both hands.

Hu Xiaotian learned from him and said: "Second Master Guan is above, I, Hu Xiaotian, and Hogg voluntarily became brothers with different surnames today, and from now on, we will share weal and woe, treat each other with all sincerity, and rely on each other, if I break my oath, I will hit five thunders in the sky!" "Anyway, this poisonous oath has been said more than once, and it doesn't hurt to have one more time. Hu Xiaotian also drew a feather arrow, and slammed it hard, I said! This arrow shaft is really tough, and it hasn't broken at such a large angle. Hu Xiaotian looked at Hogg and smiled awkwardly, and he didn't break it again, and only then did he successfully break this feather arrow for the third time, and he was already sweating profusely.

Hogg is twenty-four years old this year, and he deserves to be the eldest brother, and Hu Xiaotian is naturally the younger brother again.

The two of them stood up from the ground, their knees were stained with a lot of red mud, and Hogg patted Hu Xiaotian on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you and I will be a family in the future." ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "Big brother, don't worry, in the future, my brother will respect and love you as my own big brother." The swearing ceremony was completed, and Hu Xiaotian also returned to his team.

Hogg watched him go away, and Mozley quietly came to his side and whispered, "Your Royal Highness, this brother of yours is very shrewd. ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Hogg's lips: "What do you want to say?" Just say it! ”

Mo Zili lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, does he know the inside story?" ”

Hogg narrowed his eyes and looked at Hu Xiaotian's distant back, slowly shook his head and said, "He shouldn't know." ”

When he set off again, King Zhou couldn't stand this bulky armor, he had already covered his body with prickly heat for half a day, took off his armor, and changed back into a light outfit, seeing Hu Xiaotian coming back, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why have you been talking for so long?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Your Highness, I have something important to report to you." ”

King Zhou said: "Say, don't spit out." ”

Hu Xiaotian only then told him about his sworn to Hogg, and it was better for him to take the initiative to admit it, if it was spread to King Zhou by others, he didn't know what he would say. King Zhou reacted indifferently to this, and said with a smile: "People are looking for you to worship, of course you can't help but give this face, forget it, sworn brothers, it's just a false name, who has ever seen a sworn brother who lives and dies together?" Even brothers can't do that. When he said this, King Zhou's expression looked a little lost, and he couldn't help but think of the brothers around him who were intriguing and deceitful one by one, and they would do whatever it took for the throne, so how could they take care of the slightest bit of flesh and blood.

Hu Xiaotian saw that he suddenly fell silent, and knew that King Zhou must have thought of his own experience, and silently accompanied King Zhou side by side. King Zhou was silent for a while before he said, "Hogg doesn't seem to be a simple person. ”

Hu Xiaotian nodded sympathetically and said: "The amount of wine is outstanding, the courage is outstanding, I saw him flying a knife and cutting snakes with my own eyes just now, and his martial arts should also be very powerful." ”

King Zhou sighed, stretched out his hand to pluck the branches and leaves above his head, and said in a low voice: "Did he say the purpose of coming to Dakang this time?" ”

"I said it was to ask Princess Anping for marriage!"

King Zhou was stunned for a moment: "Princess Anping? His hand clenched the reins of the horse hard, Hu Xiaotian noticed King Zhou's subconscious action, and felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't know why King Zhou reacted so violently, could it be that he had a particularly good relationship with this Princess Anping? King Zhou bit his lip and said, "Princess Anping is the sister of my mother!" ”

Only then did Hu Xiaotian understand the reason why King Zhou reacted violently, Anping was his own sister, and as an elder brother, of course he didn't want his sister to marry far away. Hu Xiaotian comforted King Zhou and said: "Your Highness don't worry, he just said that he asked for a kiss, and whether he agreed or not depends on the meaning of His Majesty, in fact, there are really few princesses who have married orthodox princesses throughout the ages." ”

King Zhou blinked puzzledly and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Hu Xiaotian said: "You must have a cousin." A sentence reminded King Zhou, he nodded and smiled: "You still have a lot of ideas, I want to talk to my father about this matter first." ”

Hu Xiaotian was secretly ashamed in his heart, his words may have saved Princess Anping, but he didn't know which innocent girl he had pitted, but he didn't look bad at Hogg, he was tall and mighty, and it was not a blessing if he really married him. (To be continued......)
