Chapter Seventy-Eight

*

Wujiang looked at his brother's excited appearance, thinking that this was the reason why he wanted to see his brother before leaving, but he had to be afraid to see him.

"Brother Wang, you listen to your brother." Wujiang hurriedly got up and grabbed Wuji's sleeve.

As soon as he shook his hand indefinitely, he walked away, "What's so nice to hear now?" After I went to ask my father Khan to take back his fate, let me listen to it for three days and three nights, and I will not complain! ”

"Brother Wang, Father Khan is not in the palace at this time." Wujiang sat back in his seat, "He is celebrating the marriage between the two countries with his people, if you have something to say to him, you might as well stay a little longer, he should be back to the palace soon." ”

"Celebrate?!" A pair of eyes of the indefinite were about to fall. He obviously couldn't see what to celebrate, and he was already very restrained not to beat his chest.

"Brother Wang, listen to your brother." Wujiang sighed and said earnestly: "You're right, I, Ashina, am indeed a lion on the grassland and a giant falcon in the sky; However, at present, it is the lion dormant and the giant falcon temporarily roosting, and the momentum and strength are no longer what they used to be. If we want to rejuvenate our tribe and glorify our ancestors, we must rely on the strength of all sides, and work hard to make the country strong. And that great week is an important force that we can rely on. If we succeed in marrying them, the ministries will be afraid of this alliance of two great forces, and will not dare to easily rebel, and we will have a chance to renovate and revitalize. ”

"Brother Wang, that's enough! I hate to hear your allusions to the Han people! Infinite anger became more and more "snorted", "The Great Zhou people are insidious and cunning, and they do not keep their promises, and they are more cunning than the foxes and wild dogs in the desert. How can we trust them so easily? Dependent on them? Besides, I've heard that their newly enthroned empress has no real power, just like the long feathers on the pheasant's tail, which has no practical effect; The military and political power is in the hands of that big official named Helan Chu. What's the point of you going to marry such a puppet queen?! ”

When Wujiang heard this, instead of being angry, he smiled, as if he was relieved that his younger brother could know this, "Brother Wang is reasonable. From ancient times to the present, in all dynasties, almost every period when the lord is weak and the minister is strong, the country will have great chaos. We just want to get as many benefits as possible before this big week changes. Marriage is not a matter of two people, but of two countries; Since the empress can make such a decision on behalf of the Great Zhou, it will naturally reverberate the world and affect the situation. This family affair was indeed agreed to by the empress herself, and Helan Chu, who was present, seemed to be reluctant. It is precisely because of this that Ke Tuyu used the wild goose book and the fast horse to expedite the news to the palace first, lest it be too late to change. ”

"How can it be!" Wu Ji almost gritted his teeth when he heard this, "It's that Ke Tuyu again!" For a while, he advocated giving gifts, and for a while, he advocated asking for peace. He's a dog, he wants to give the entire Ashina clan to the Great Zhou thief, so he can feel at ease?! If he dares to step into Black Sand City one more step, I will go and break his neck, chop up his corpse and feed it to the cattle and sheep! ”

"Brother Wang, don't you remember how the master taught us? The gentleman said cautiously, you and I are princes, how can you say such things at will? Wujiang tightened his brother's arm this time to prevent him from shaking his hand and running out.

"Humph! That person is not my master, only Brother Wang, you are obedient to this person. Indefinite said in a disgusted tone.

"Brother Wang, don't be rude to your master." Wujiang's expression turned serious. Wu Ji was afraid to continue to speak.

Wujiang shook his head helplessly, and pulled the indefinite back forcefully, "No matter what happens in the future, our brothers haven't seen each other for many days, since the wine and food are current, let's have a good drink first." ”

Wuji couldn't help but glance back at the wine on the table and swallowed his saliva. After a few months of marching, he was not able to drink happily at a banquet because of military affairs, and he was really a little itchy to be teased by Wujiang at this time.

Hmph, what kind of big Zhou thief, dog-legged Ke Tuyu, and the master of Brother Laoshizi! Anyway, if you are desperate, you must not let Brother Wang go. But the wine can't be wasted at the moment, take a few sips first, and wait for Father Khan to come back! I made up my mind indefinitely, and I barely sat down in my seat.

Seeing the indefinite return to the banquet quietly, the maids who had retreated for a while had the courage to step forward to help the two pour wine and tidy up the cups and plates that had been disturbed.

After three rounds of drinking, Wujiang grabbed a roast leg of mutton and handed it to Wuji, and said: "Brother Wang, you should know that the so-called marriage is not for the sake of brothers, and you can't come back in the Great Zhou Dynasty for the rest of your life. It only takes three years and five years, when we have a common bloodline, enough to maintain the friendship between the two countries, and then we can return to China for my brother, and drink and eat meat, ride horses and shoot arrows with my brother. ”

When he thought that his brother had already thought of giving birth to the next generation with the empress of the Great Zhou thief, he couldn't help but feel sick for him, and he didn't even have the interest in eating barbecue.

He pushed away the leg of mutton, just grabbed the wine glass and touched it on the boundless wine glass, drank the wine in the glass with his head up, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then looked at Wujiang with the eyes of "no fish", and glanced at his wine glass again.

Wujiang had no choice but to pick up his wine glass and drink it all.

"Brother Wang, don't you always say that the swords of the Han people are sharp and tough, and the armor is hard and light, if my Ashina clan can also have such an inexhaustible and sophisticated weapon, will I definitely be invincible? If Brother Wei arrives in the court of the Great Zhou, he will definitely urge the Great Zhou to increase the copper and iron trade with us, and let them send us the best craftsmen to teach us the most advanced weapon forging techniques. When the time comes, why can't I, Ashina, be able to dominate the Quartet? ”

These words really made the indefinite words move in my heart. But he quickly made a gesture in his heart again, and exchanged his brother and the dignified prince for a bunch of weapons? Let's not talk about whether it can be exchanged or not, even if it can be replaced, we really can't afford to lose this person. But he knew that he had never been able to talk to his brother, just like his brother couldn't beat him since he was a child, so he didn't bother to talk back. and coerced Wujiang with his eyes and drank a glass with him as compensation.

And so on again and again, until the wine is half drunk.

Wujiang raised his wine glass and said in a voice that was no longer very neat: "Brother Wang...... You said that throughout the ages, who are the brothers...... Is it comparable to our deep affection? ”

Wujiang began to get drunk, but Wuji felt that the wine was just enough for him to warm up his body and lubricate his brain.

Hearing that his brother began to use this way to build relationships, he knew that he was already a little overwhelmed. Although Wuji hates these Confucian habits of talking about the past and the present, he has been forced to learn a lot since he was a child, and he is often exposed to his brother's ears and eyes, and he is very poisonous.
