In the blink of an eye.

A vat of wine has bottomed out.

The wolf king Mingyao and the two brothers Angran and Angxiong were already slightly drunk.

A little drunkenness is not enough in the grassland.

But the wolf king Mingyao turned the three sea bowls in front of him upside down.

This means that I don't drink anymore.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong looked at the wolf king Mingyao's actions with some puzzlement.

I obviously said that I would not get drunk and not return, why did I stop when I was slightly drunk?

Before, he kept saying that the grassland people should have the appearance of the grassland people.

But at least drinking like this is not what the prairie people look like.

"What other arrangements does His Highness the Wolf King have?"

The high-spirited mind is clearly more bright.

As soon as he saw Wolf King Mingyao doing this, he guessed that he might have other plans.

"That's right! The three of us brothers are not interesting just drinking. What's more, the amount of alcohol we drink is between five and five. Even if you want to fight for wine, in the end it will be nothing more than you two pouring forward, and I leaning back. ”

Wolf King Mingyao said.

When Ang Ran and Ang Xiong heard this, they all laughed.

"The amount of alcohol we drink is not as good as that of His Royal Highness the Wolf King!"

Ang Xiong said.

But in a silent way, he praised the wolf king Mingyao.

"Really, you must know that this is the first time I have drunk since Huo Wang, the king of Dingxi, bought wine in Jiying Town!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

The high-spirited and high-spirited were silent.

They obviously won't be the first.

I even got drunk yesterday.

That's the difference between a general and a handsome.

It will only be necessary to charge forward at the critical moment.

Fight bravely.

Fight and win.

But Shuai is very different.

He probably didn't have to go to the battlefield himself.

But you must hide the beauty in your heart and be confident.

Do not let any distracting thoughts linger.

Decide before you can act.

Behind the throne of the wolf king Mingyao hangs a map.

This map is not a map of the grasslands.

Rather, it is a map of the Five Great Realms.

As for the steppe.

Where there are mountain beams, where there are ravines, where there are streams and lakes, he already knows by heart.

What he cares about is the Five Great Kings.

Thus.

The wolf king is bright, and he is determined to be in the world.

Except for this map behind the throne.

There was also one on his desk.

A map of the Dingxi Domain.

Dingzhou, Hengzhou, Mengzhou, Qizhou, Yuezhou five states.

There are also the mountains and the front mountains of the nine mountains.

These lands are all places where the wolf king Mingyao is thinking about and dreaming about.

Especially Dingzhou.

Dingzhou is the gateway to the northwest of the Dingxi Empire.

Dingzhou is not broken.

The Dingxi royal domain is stable and peaceful.

If Dingzhou is lost, the door of the Dingxi Royal Domain will be opened.

The steppe wolf of the wolf king Mingyao can ride straight into the country and travel 800 miles a day.

Even before the other four states had time to react, they could lead a large army to reach the city of Dingxi Wang.

Whenever he thinks of this scene, Wolf King Mingyao is unconsciously excited.

But he also knows.

The move was too risky.

In the royal city of Dingxi, there is a Xuan Crow Army.

If the Xuan Crow Army relied on the strong city defense of Dingxi Wangcheng, it would only defend and not attack.

Even if it is to get into an extraordinary battle.

But once the other four states know that the royal city is in an emergency, they will definitely come to Qin Wang with all they have.

At that time, the wolf riders of the grassland royal court will face a state of being attacked on their backs.

The collapse is just a matter of time.

What's more, it is not easy to transfer grain and grass in this thousand-mile rush.

The remaining four states only need to send troops to cut off the grain routes of their steppe army.

No need to fight.

His own grassland army besieged Yueyu under the Dingxi King City, and he would definitely retreat on his own.

But it's easy to get in, but it's hard to come back.

In case something goes wrong.

The end of the grassland is that there will be no return.

After the wolf king Mingyao finished saying that this was his first time drinking, he looked down at the map of the Dingxi Royal Domain on his table.

The three sea bowls were held in his hands, like three armies.

He kept pushing him over and sending him over.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong knew that this was the wolf king Mingyao fell into deep thought again, and they didn't dare to disturb.

Just sit quietly and eat meat.

It's just that they are very careful in their cutting of meat.

For fear of making any noise, it would disturb the thoughts of the wolf king Mingyao.

Soldiers.

Sophistry, too.

Wolf King Mingyao has pondered the method of driving straight into for so long, although it is too dangerous.

But it's a trick.

It's just that he never told this idea to the two brothers Ang Ran and Ang Xiong who were sitting there.

Because if you have an idea, you have to settle down.

Although he has been settled long enough.

But I always feel that it is still not mature and perfect.

What's more, there is a fatal problem that has not been solved.

That is every city in the Dingxi royal domain, and the city walls are extremely tall and solid.

Although the steppe wolf rider is good at fighting, he is not good at attacking such fortifications.

If it is safe, one city after another will be attacked.

I'm afraid that in the lifetime of the wolf king Mingyao, I won't see the shadow of Dingxi Royal City.

This is also the biggest concern in his heart.

Even the means of siege and the technology of making equipment are also available in the steppe.

He also did not dare to build on a large scale.

The wolf king Mingyao's strategy is to make a dangerous move.

Highlight the word 'odd'.

If it is a large-scale preparation for war, can Huo Wangyan, the king of Dingxi, not notice it?

Once you have the awareness and defense, the plan will not be of any benefit.

He groaned for a long time.

Wolf King Mingyao finally raised his head again.

"I'll set a lottery! Let's try to test the sword, gun and archery skills!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

"It's rare that His Royal Highness the Wolf King has such a Yaxing, and we should accompany him! His Royal Highness the Wolf King has been so ashamed of our kindness on weekdays!"

He stood up and said.

"No, my brother is surprised by this! Since it is a competition, it must naturally be rewarded. Even a small pebble, placed on that meritorious platform, is worth ten thousand taels of gold!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

"What His Royal Highness the Wolf King said is extremely true!"

Ang Xiong said.

He saw that the wolf king Mingyao had made up his mind, so it would be good to follow his words.

Obey the king's heart and know your own life.

You can't go wrong with it.

Even if it looks a little dull.

But at least let the wolf king Mingyao know his loyalty.

"But I really haven't figured out what to set up for this lottery...... What do you two brothers have in mind?"

Wolf King Mingyao asked.

"We will follow the orders of His Highness the Wolf King!"

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong glanced at each other and said in unison.

"In this way, in my king's tent, whatever you fancy can be used as a lottery!

Wolf King Mingyao said with open arms.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong looked around.

Although the wolf king Mingyao is the wolf king of the grassland royal court.

But there was nothing good in his king's tent.

Compared to the palace of the two of them in the clan, it can be described as a cloud and mud difference.

They know it, too.

This is the wolf king Mingyao has the intention to beat them again.

Even his grassland royal court and the wolf king's royal tent are so simple.

But what reason do you have to indulge in luxury?

But the wolf king Mingyao had already opened his mouth.

They had to say something, too.

It doesn't matter if that thing doesn't get into the eye, it's worth it or not.

But it was all out of the king's tent.

If you are lucky enough to win the lottery, you must pass through the tribes and share the glory.

can also finally overpower the other party at today's banquet.

Proud eyes saw an ivory flask hanging to the right of the throne.

The wine jug was the peace of mind of the old wolf king.

once saved the life of the old wolf king.

At that time, the grassland, the Zhenbei Monarchy and the Dingxi Monarchy were also constantly in friction.

Even if your old wolf king can endure it, there will be a time when he can't bear it anymore.

At that time, he personally raised 200,000 wolf horsemen and stationed troops at the border between the grassland and the Zhenbei royal domain.

Unexpectedly, when the two armies were fighting, they were shot by random arrows.

Fortunately, the ivory flask hung on his chest, blocking the arrow for him.

Otherwise, the consequences can be imagined.

Since the death of the old wolf king, this ivory wine jug has been hung in the king's tent as a memorial by the current wolf king Mingyao.

Even the arrow was still embedded in the jug, and it had not yet been removed.

"Then this one!"

Wolf King Mingyao stood up, picked up the ivory wine jug hanging next to him and said.

He saw Angxiong's previous gaze staring directly at the flask.

Although it was a relic of his father.

But the wolf king Mingyao has never cared about these foreign objects.

In his eyes, whoever left it was just a dilapidated wine jug.

The flask is used to hold wine.

And this flask has long lost its actual function.

And this meaning is not very far-reaching.

Wouldn't it be better if it could be used to unite the whole grassland?

This is also of a more long-term significance.

The Wolf King Mingyao firmly believed that even if his father was alive, he would approve of him doing so.

Fighting for the world is what the people want.

Conquering cities and conquering places is not about soldiers and horses, but about money and food.

These two most essential questions, Wolf King Mingyao remembers very well.

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Wolf King, what are we going to try?"

Angran asked.

"Let's shoot arrows first!"

Mounted archery is the strong point of the steppe people.

Only by being skilled in the bow horse can he be called a qualified steppe man.

The wolf king Mingyao ordered the attendants to move the previous bronze mirror three hundred steps away and place it properly.

"I don't need my treasure bow either! We all use the same bow, the same arrow! Three shots per person, the closer you get to the center of the mirror, the more you win. If someone can pierce the heart with a sword and penetrate the bronze mirror, then I have another reward!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

All three are martial cultivators.

However, he declared that he was not allowed to use martial arts, nor was he allowed to mobilize his strength.

can only rely on the power of **.

Three hundred paces away.

Whether you can shoot with the power of ** is already a problem.

If you still want to shoot through the bronze mirror, you have to have a thousand arms.

"The three of us brothers, who will come first?"

Wolf King Mingyao asked.

Angran and Angxiong looked at each other.

At this moment, neither of them dared to compete for the lead.

Although archery at such a long distance is not unprecedented.

But the first person to shoot can always add some experience to the next two.

"I'll do it!"

Said proudly.

Then he took the bow and arrow from the hand of the attendant beside him.

He pulled the bowstring, and first fired a shot in the air, but did not release the arrow.

Closed proudly.

Listen carefully to the humming of the bowstring.

This bow.

He didn't use it.

Naturally, you need to be familiar with it first.

Ang Xiong and Wolf King Mingyao did not urge.

Just stand quietly and wait.

Ang Ran, who had been hearing the fame of this bowstring, had all dissipated, and then he opened his eyes.

Then he fumbled with his hand the entire bow.

Feel the touch coming from your hands.

He has already established a connection with this bow.

Although this bow has no spirituality.

But for archers, the bow is just as important as the wolf ride under their crotch.

They are their most trusted partners.

Angran though made a delicate connection.

But the connection is not stable or deep.

So he's still preparing, still brewing.

Wolf King Mingyao took a half step back.

He didn't want Ang Xiong and the others to see the expression on his face at the moment.

But his face was always so unhappy and angry.

But in his heart, he is now extremely satisfied.

The two brothers, Ang Ran and Ang Xiong, although they fight constantly on weekdays.

But in the face of the righteousness of the grassland, it is still extremely sincere and united.

Moreover, the personalities of these two brothers can be described as complementary among the very different.

Aung Hung was more reckless.

Courage, but no strategy.

Self is also more impulsive than Angran.

And Angran is not so careful, though.

But it's more thoughtful than Ang Xiong.

Just look at the state he is in now.

If it is replaced by Angxiong, it will definitely be out of the bow and arrow.

Whether you shoot or not, shoot or not.

He's going to be so reckless.

But it's different.

Either he doesn't open the bow.

Open the bow and you can hit with one arrow.

"Speaking of which, in five days it will be the birthday of His Royal Highness the Wolf King!"

Ang Xiong suddenly turned around and said.

"Alas......"

Wolf King Mingyao sighed deeply.

"It's another year of wasted time and no achievements. ”

Mingyao said with emotion.

Ang Xiong was also silent.

They all knew the great ambitions and ambitions in the heart of the wolf king Mingyao.

When he was a child, the wolf king Mingyao loved to celebrate birthdays very much.

Early in the morning, his mother would personally bring a new leather robe and a new set of reins and saddles.

The leather robe was for Mingyao to wear.

The reins saddle was replaced for the wolf rider.

Wolf Rider was the same age as him.

So his birthday is also the birthday of the wolf riding under the crotch.

But now, the wolf king Mingyao hates birthdays very much.

It's better to say that I hate than to be afraid.

When I was a teenager, I was never afraid of the long years.

I also asked my father why the bonfire was not extinguished all night.

The old wolf king took him by the hand and crouched in front of him and told him.

Those are the heroic spirits of the ancestors.

The ancestors were extremely generous, and did not want to see their descendants suffer from darkness, so they lived day and night.

Then the old wolf king pointed at himself, scratched the tip of Mingyao's nose and said:

"In the future, you and I will also become one of these heroic spirits, and we will also be like our ancestors, infinitely generous, to protect our descendants and the entire grassland. ”

Mingyao nodded.

But where did he understand this at the time?

In this world, there is only one thing that can make people grow quickly.

That's separation.

Separation is happening all the time.

These people are either born or dead.

But either way of separation.

will make people have an epiphany in an instant.

However, such an opportunity for an epiphany cannot be expected.

It's always unexpected.

But the years are long, who has he ever treated well?

Birthdays come year after year, but they always come unexpectedly.

But if the accumulation of these years did not allow him to subvert mediocrity, Wolf King Mingyao would rather not have this birthday.

But he was a very tenacious man.

He decided to fight to the end with the years.

Either be destroyed by the years and become a heroic spirit in a campfire.

Or become a period of glory.

It has been written in books by future generations of grassland people, and has been praised for generations like Terk.

I remember that when he had just inherited the unification of the wolf king, he told the princes of the left and right tribes, as well as the two brothers Angran and Angxiong.

If one day, you find that he has stagnated and is no longer moving forward.

Instead, he chose to bow his head and be comfortable.

Then don't be stingy with the sword on their waists.

Resolutely cut down the enemy as you would with him.

Just this one word, the grassland is shocked!

They knew that the grasslands might be about to change.

But no one knows when this change will come.

The old wolf king also knew that his son had great ambitions since he was a child.

But he kept reminding him, for fear that he would be too ambitious.

"You have to bear with it. No matter how many seasons have passed, you have to endure it. It is possible that the snow will not melt for ten years, but as long as you endure it, you can always wait until the spring flowers bloom. You still have to walk, you have to stay on the road, you must not stop. Even if you walk for ten years, it is still dark in front of you, but as long as you keep going, the end of the abyss will be brightly lit. ”

At that time, Mingyao still couldn't listen to such persuasion.

Always feel like you can do it.

The world is big, and it can be vertical and horizontal.

But now I understand my father's wisdom more and more.

The old wolf king, whether he is a scholar or a martial artist, is not under him.

But why didn't he go south to fight for hegemony in the world?

It's because it's not timely.

Rather than such futile consumption.

It's better to herd horses on the grassland safely.

If it weren't for the stability he brought in the last two or three decades, how could the current grassland be strong and strong, with abundant grain and grass?

Some seem to be retreating and weak behaviors, but in fact, they are forbearing.

It's waiting for the right moment.

Wolf King Mingyao didn't know if the time had come.

If possible.

He really wanted to ask his father.

A little confused, but not afraid of the days to come.

All he feared was that the past was too mediocre and boring.

People may have times when they rebel against the sky.

But there is no end to the sky.

It's like the words of persuasion of the old wolf king.

As long as you go down, you will eventually be able to reach a brightly lit place.

The wolf king Mingyao raised his head and looked at the bonfire in front of the king's tent.

In my heart, I recited all the names of the previous wolf kings that I could think of.

Including his own.

When the word Mingyao was in my heart, the words just fell.

Shoot out the arrow.

This sword hit the center of the bronze mirror.

Although it did not penetrate the bronze mirror, it also gave it a slight depression.

"Good archery!"

Wolf King Mingyao praised.

"I think when the three of us were still young, the swordsmanship of the Angran brothers was already a hundred steps through the poplars, and the grassland was unparalleled!

Wolf King Mingyao continued.

Angran didn't understand the look.

Not even a response.

For on his bowstring, a second arrow has been attached.

"Boom!"

After a muffled sound.

The position of the second arrow is not much different from that of the first arrow.

Unfortunately, the second arrow still failed to penetrate the bronze mirror.

But it made the depression three points deeper.

"The last arrow!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

"Does His Royal Highness the Wolf King think that this sword can penetrate the bronze mirror?"

Aung Hung asked.

"What do you think?"

Wolf King Mingyao asked rhetorically.

For kings, for men.

You can't speak first.

It is always necessary to listen to all the opinions and arguments before making a final decision.

"I think it's enough to choke ......"

Ang Xiong said.

"Then you might as well make another bet between you and me. ”

Wolf King Mingyao said.

"What bet?"

Aung Hung asked.

"I bet that the third arrow will definitely penetrate the bronze mirror. ”

Wolf King Mingyao said.

"Then I'll bet he can't!"

Ang Xiong said cheerfully.

"Okay! I'll give you a new saddle if you lose. If you lose, you'll have to draw your sword and dance for fun!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

The saddle he bet on.

It's actually made for your birthday.

But the current situation of the grassland and the five great kings really made him have no thoughts.

It's better to give it out and give it to your subordinates as a favor.

They had just made the bet.

The third arrow had been fired.

"Dangchang!"

This sword is a powerful copper mirror, more than a foot.

"Hahaha! It seems that His Royal Highness the Wolf King has won this lottery!"

He threw the bow in his hand and turned around to speak.

"Brother Angran can really be called my grassland arrow god!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

"Brother Angxiong, it seems that you lost our bet!"

Wolf King Mingyao turned to Ang Xiong and said.

"Yes...... His Royal Highness the Wolf King is clever, and naturally he can't win in the future. ”

Ang Xiong said with his head bowed in shame.

"But there is only one bronze mirror, and the Angran brothers have already shot through, but there is no need for you and me to try again!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

Then he hung the ivory flask embedded with the arrow around his neck.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Wolf King!"

He bowed down and said.

"In addition to your amazing archery skills, you can also see the twin knives of the Angxiong brothers flying in a while, tonight is really fun!"

Wolf King Mingyao said.

Immediately, he ordered someone to rearrange the desk, table and chair outside.

Braised pork and wine are no problem.

After waiting for the wolf king Mingyao to sit down, he did it himself.

The two drank wine.

Prepare to watch Ang Xiong dance knife with great interest.

At this point, the purpose of the wolf king Mingyao to call these two people here today has been completed.

But you can relax and drink!

It's just that in his mind, he recalled a conversation between himself and his father.

"Father, if you keep walking, will you really be able to get the lights on? You see, no matter how much the fish swims, it can't get ashore!"

Young Mingyao asked his father.

"It's true that fish can't get ashore. But it can swim from the creek all the way to the East China Sea, as long as he persists. It's as if the world thinks that the toad will never be able to catch up with the swan, but if the toad keeps jumping, the swan will always have a time when it is tired of flying and lands to rest. ”

The old wolf king said.

"I don't like toads, I like swans!"

Mingyao said.

"Preferences can't be too obvious, especially you. You must know that the things in this world are probably only different, but there is no right or wrong. If you feel that you are wrong, as long as it is not too wrong, you should forgive it. It's just that the words of understanding and preference should be said at the critical time, and not casually. ”

The old wolf king said.

Wolf King Mingyao looked at his reflection in the wine glass.

Is he a swan or a toad?

Presumably the old wolf king can't say clearly.

Even if he's just a toad.

Wolf King Mingyao also wants to be a toad that keeps jumping forward in his direction.

Jump until the swan is exhausted, and jump until the swan runs out of oil and the lamp is dry.

Then, when it was most tired and relaxed, he riveted his last bit of strength and jumped onto its back.

Even without sharp articulation.

Do your best to bite the feathers on the swan's neck.

Even if it's only for a moment.

But in that moment, he was also a winner.
