Meanwhile.

In the royal court of the grassland, in the royal tent of the wolf king Mingyao.

The wolf king Ming Yao retired all his attendants and guards.

Sit alone on the throne.

In the center of the king's tent was a brazier.

A bronze mirror hangs from the brazier.

The bronze mirror was red from the charcoal fire.

"Qi Yu Wolf King! The left general is proud, and the right general is Angxiong has arrived under the king's tent. ”

The attendant outside the door said through the tent door.

There was no order from the wolf king.

They did not dare to step into the king's tent.

Wolf King Mingyao did not answer.

He was reading a book.

It's called "Telke".

This "Telke" can be said to be the essence of the steppe civilization.

It is a biographical epic about a hero named Telk.

The book in the hand of the wolf king Mingyao is the first version of the wolf king era.

It was given to him by his father.

He didn't know how many times he had read it.

Even when I was a child, I had to ask my mother to read a paragraph to me every night before going to bed.

Over time, it has reached the point where it can be recited.

But he was already watching intently.

"Let them in. ”

I don't know how long it took.

Wolf King Mingyao finally raised his head and said lightly.

General Ang Ran of the Left Lu and General Ang Xiong of the Right Lu lifted the door of the tent and stepped into the tent.

"I've seen His Highness the Wolf King!"

The two put their right hands on their hearts.

He bowed in unison.

"Don't be so polite, my dear brothers!"

The Wolf King smiled and let the two of them sit down without courtesy.

In the steppe.

Men have always been called brothers.

The women, on the other hand, are all sisters.

This is how we can show the close solidarity between each other.

After all, the grassland is remote.

Lack of resources.

If people's hearts are not in order, they are useless.

How dare the five kings compete?

After Ang Ran and Ang Xiong sat down, they were a little apprehensive.

In fact, when they received the news that the wolf king wanted to see them, this anxiety had already begun.

It's just that after the wolf king Mingyao's 'dear brother' just now, it became more and more intense.

Wolf King Mingyao didn't say much.

Just let the attendants come in and serve the wine and meat for the two generals.

Then he continued to read with his head down.

"What do you two think, how is my royal account?"

Wolf King Mingyao flipped through the book.

He asked without looking up.

"This king's tent is first-class in the world!"

Said proudly.

"That's right, where the wolf king is there, it is a happy paradise!

Aung Hung continued.

"The highest glory? Can you tell me, brothers, what is the highest glory?"

Wolf King Mingyao asked.

"Just like your name as the wolf king, bright and dazzling! The place you have walked through, the four seasons are like spring, all are happy journeys! There is no heat, no hunger and cold!"

Ang Xiong said.

"And the breeze is cool, the flowers are beautiful, and the grass and trees are fragrant!"

Don't dare to lag behind.

hurriedly followed up.

"Haha...... Do you really think so?"

Wolf King Mingyao squinted his eyes and said as he looked at the red bronze mirror in the tent that was burned by charcoal.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong felt that the wolf king Mingyao was hiding his words.

But there was no answer to this sentence.

The previous words were nothing more than a boast.

No one would really believe it.

The wolf king Mingyao is also human.

He has no power from heaven and earth.

How can that be done?

Even the legendary steppe hero Turk can't do it.

"The place where the four seasons are like spring is the Pingnan Royal Domain. I heard that even on a cold winter day, there is a soft warm breeze. From time to time, a light rain moistens the earth. ”

Wolf King Mingyao said.

"Isn't there a vast grassland in the Pingnan Royal Domain, and the people there are also free from the pain of transition?"

Angran asked.

"How long has it been since you read a book?"

Wolf King Mingyao did not answer Angran's question, but asked rhetorically.

"This ...... Because things are busy in the left house, it is true that I haven't read a book for a long time. However, there is a saying in the royal realm that is very popular. ”

Said proudly.

After speaking, he glanced at Angxiong very provocatively.

Aung Hung lowered his head and didn't make eye contact with his gaze.

Instead, he stared straight at the wine glass in front of him.

He wanted to drink.

But this is not the time to drink.

However, it is in the nature of the steppe people to be addicted to alcohol.

Nature is extremely difficult to suppress and change.

So Ang Xiong finally picked up his glass.

I saw Aung Xiong holding up his wine glass.

Angran's heart suddenly relaxed.

He also wanted to drink.

But he was able to hold back.

Angran firmly believes that every move of the two of them will be watched by the wolf king Mingyao.

Although the wolf king Mingyao seemed to be bowing his head and flipping through the book.

But you must observe more carefully.

Speaking of which, after the moon festival meeting.

The two of them hadn't seen the Wolf King Mingyao for a long time.

This is the constitution of the steppe.

The wolf king does not convene a meeting, and no one can leave his belongings without permission and go to the royal court.

Otherwise, they will be directly killed for the crime of rebellion.

Most of the armies of the grassland are in the hands of the left and right sides of Ang Ran and Ang Xiong.

People who don't know think that Angran and Angxiong are the two pillars of the grassland.

But Ang Ran and Ang Hung are very clear.

The real trump card of the grassland, the most elite power, is firmly controlled by the wolf king Mingyao.

Huo Wang, the king of Dingxi, has a crow army.

How could the wolf king Mingyao not have an army equal to him?

This is also the foundation for the Wolf King to be able to sit firmly in the country for generations.

But there is an ancestral teaching.

That is the moment when the grassland is not alive and dead, and the wind resistor must not appear.

This "Wind Resistant" is the personal soldier of the wolf king Mingyao.

As for why it was called that.

But no one knows.

Although Ang Ran and Ang Xiong knew these things, they had never even seen the shadow of the Wind Resistant.

Not to mention knowing where they are stationed or how many soldiers they have.

But the unknown is often more frightening.

What you can't see is the most terrifying.

The steppe people have watched "Telke" for generations and grew up listening to the legend of the Wind Resistant.

Therefore, no one has the slightest doubt about its authenticity.

Ang Xiong once secretly questioned the authenticity of the 'Wind Resistant' in his heart.

But as soon as he moved the thought.

Immediately, the limbs will be cold, and the heart palpitations will be unbearable.

The neck was choked as if someone had choked him, and his whole face was red.

was so frightened that he hurriedly thought about Yingying Yanyan in order to get rid of all the pain on his body.

The reason for this is not because they have been forbidden by the wolf king Mingyao.

But this steadfastness has been passed down from generation to generation in the blood of every citizen of the grassland.

If you have any doubts about it.

That is to question the entire grassland, to question one's own nation, to question one's parents, wives and children in one's own family.

Under such pressure, it is indeed difficult to get comfortable.

"What?"

Wolf King Mingyao asked.

"What I want to say is probably 'Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years'!"

Angxiong put down his glass and said.

Angran thought that he couldn't hold back and didn't drink, but he won a game in front of the wolf king Mingyao today.

I thought that using this sentence in the royal domain to make another colorful head would definitely make the wolf king Mingyao's heart bloom.

Unexpectedly, it was taken by Angxiong.

"Listen to you...... It's better than reading a book for ten years...... I know this sentence, but do you really think that someone can be worth ten years of schooling with one sentence?"

Wolf King Mingyao asked.

He was still scrolling through the books with his head down.

I just took a piece of hot beef in my left hand and ate it.

"I don't know if there is such a person now...... However, I look at the history of the royal domain, and there are many lobbyists who can retreat a million soldiers with a three-inch tongue alone, but it is true. ”

Ang Xiong said.

"Hmm...... The main thing is that I haven't met our prairie people!"

Wolf King Mingyao raised his head.

Squeezed his eyes at the two of them.

It looks naughty and cute.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong laughed, and both raised their wine glasses to the wolf king Ming Yao.

But the wolf king Mingyao held the book in his right hand and the beef in his left hand.

He held up the piece of beef, which was counted as a tribute to the two of them.

The people of the Five Great Princes are too good-looking.

Especially during the previous imperial period.

When fighting a war, you have to pay attention to what you are known for.

Otherwise, it will be an unkind and unrighteous army, and the people's will will not turn to it, and heaven and earth will not give it convenience.

But in the eyes of the wolf king Mingyao.

Only land with gold and silver.

Even if it is a conquest, it is for the sake of a happier and better life for the people of his tribe.

With this support, it is sufficient.

Therefore, those lobbyists can rely on the ingenuity of words to retreat the army of millions.

But if they are facing the steppe wolf ride.

Perhaps it has long been blurred by the flesh and blood of the endless wolf claws.

Before he could speak, the wolf king Mingyao had already drawn his sword and raised it.

"Two brothers, do you know why I keep this bronze mirror on the fire?"

Wolf King Mingyao finally closed the book.

He raised his glass and pointed to the brazier and bronze mirror.

"But I don't know!"

The two said.

Wolf King Mingyao chewed on beef in his mouth and said three words vaguely:

"Think again!"

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong began to stare at the bronze mirror and think about it.

But they really didn't have a clue.

But since the wolf king has an order, let them 'think again'.

Even if your head is empty, you have to pretend to be like this.

"When will the territory of the grassland become a wolf, and you won't be able to reach the border for seven months......"

Wolf King Mingyao ate meat with a wine glass.

Suddenly closed his eyes and sighed to himself.

"His Royal Highness the Wolf King! This is not simple? As long as you give an order, I will do my best to take the Dingxi Royal Domain in one fell swoop!

Standing up proudly, he said passionately.

As soon as he heard that there was going to be a big fight, he unconsciously surged with enthusiasm.

Even the temples were throbbing.

Wolf King Mingyao opened his eyes and looked at him quietly.

Nervously swallowed.

He could even hear himself swallowing.

"I just watched "Terk" and felt a little emotional...... Legends are legends! Even if the Dingxi Domain is conquered, it is not enough for a wolf to ride a gallop for seven months and not reach the border. ”

Wolf King Mingyao said in a soft tone.

"Then take down the entire Five Great Realms! From the coast of the East China Sea to the west of our grassland! No matter how long the wolf rider needs to gallop, this world is already so big!"

Ang Xiong said.

"That's right, if the world is in my hands, I don't have to care about this wolf galloping. ”

Wolf King Mingyao said.

"However, if you are really allowed to go on an expedition, will you be willing to do it?"

Wolf King Mingyao changed his words and continued.

"What's so reluctant about this?"

The two brothers asked, confused.

Wolf King Mingyao smiled.

"When I asked you how my king's account was, you all said yes. But how can it compare with your palace in the ministry? My royal tent can be conquered everywhere with the army, but your palace may not be moved!"

Wolf King Mingyao finished speaking.

Both of them bowed their heads in shame.

He also put down the wine in his hand.

After so many years of peace, they have already become arrogant.

I think this tent is too simple.

He built himself a great palace.

The walls of the palace are decorated with pearls from the South China Sea and gems from the Zhenbei Kingdom.

Even each floor tile is inlaid with an agate.

As for the fangs of male lions and the fur of spotted tigers, there are countless more.

I have lived in such a luxurious palace for a long time.

How could you be willing to leave?

Not to mention the hardships of the expedition.

You must know that the wolf king Mingyao has never built a palace for himself.

Although the previous wolf kings also had their own palaces.

But after the wolf king Mingyao ascended the throne, he dismantled them all.

Take it from the people, use it for the people.

After the palace was demolished, he exchanged all the countless treasures for soldiers, horses, money, and food, and distributed them to various ministries.

He dwelt in this king's tent all the time.

Prairie people should be like prairie people.

Don't forget your roots!

If you don't even live in a tent.

The grassland is not far from falling apart.

"Our ancestors have a saying that we must not only remember the good and bad of the past 77 years, but also be able to see the good and bad of the next 77 years. What do you think will become of this palace in seventy-seven years?"

Wolf King Mingyao asked.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong were obviously asked and had nothing to say.

I think that when the palaces of the former wolf kings were built, I wouldn't know that they would be demolished in the generation of the wolf king Mingyao.

It's so hard to see what the next 77 years will hold......

Even a supreme onmyoji like Xiao Jinkan is difficult to estimate accurately.

Not to mention these fools and reckless men on the prairie.

"But it's not your fault. Doesn't the legendary hero of our steppe, Terke, also have a huge and magnificent palace? It is said that it is only three fingers lower than this sky. ”

Wolf King Mingyao pointed to the book in his hand and said.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong knew the purpose of the wolf king Mingyao calling them here today.

"Your Royal Highness the Wolf King, we are indeed ashamed! After we go back, we will definitely demolish the palace and live in a tent like you. As for the consumption of those palaces, it will be borne by each of us. There will be absolutely no implication of the tribe in the slightest. ”

Ang Xiong stood up and said.

Angran also got up and nodded yes to the side.

"You don't have to...... What a pity to tear it down after it's covered? And that's not what I meant. ”

Wolf King Mingyao waved his hand and said.

Then he stepped down from his throne and stood before the bronze mirror.

"Look at this mirror, maybe you can see a human figure?"

Wolf King Mingyao asked.

"This bronze mirror has been burned red, but it can't be illuminated......"

Said proudly.

"That's right. Isn't this red-hot bronze mirror just like an arrogant heart? Once this heart is arrogant, it will be empty of everything, and nothing will be seen. ”

Wolf King Mingyao said.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong did not answer.

Because the wolf king Mingyao's instructions have not yet been finished.

But isn't this 'arrogant' just the two of them?

It turned out that this was the root of the previous apprehension.

Wolf King Mingyao set the charcoal fire.

With this flick, the flames suddenly soared very high.

Wrapped the entire bronze mirror.

"Pride is murdered by the fire of desire. But in the end, the whole heart will be swallowed. Not to mention the human figure, in this flame, I am afraid that it is difficult to see even the bronze mirror!

Wolf King Mingyao asked.

"What His Royal Highness the Wolf King said is extremely true! I must restrain the desires in my heart and not let them devour my heart!"

Aung Xiong saluted.

Wolf King Mingyao was speechless.

Instead, he asked the attendants to remove the brazier.

Although the bronze mirror is still red, it is gradually cooling down little by little.

Wolf King Mingyao picked up the wine glass and threw it towards the bronze mirror.

"Zila!"

The wine was immediately evaporated by the hot bronze mirror.

Then the whole royal tent was filled with the rich aroma of wine.

But looking at the bronze mirror, it has already cooled down.

"Over the years, I have indeed aged a lot......"

Wolf King Mingyao looked at himself in the bronze mirror and said.

At this moment, the bronze mirror can show the figure again.

"His Royal Highness the Wolf King is eternally young, like the sun that never sets on the grassland!"

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong knelt down on one knee and said.

"Haha! The sun rises and sets once a day!

Wolf King Mingyao said.

Then he helped them up.

"Come, serve wine! Today, the three of us brothers must talk about ourselves well, and we will not return home if we are not drunk!"

Wolf King Mingyao commanded.

He turned and sat down on the throne again.

The attendants removed the bronze mirror.

Three large vats were moved.

There is a wooden spoon in the vat.

At the moment, it is floating on the sake soup.

It ripples slightly with the shaking of the sake soup.

These three people drink a lot of alcohol.

Since it is said that if you don't get drunk, you can't go home, and the ordinary wine glass and flask can no longer be satisfied.

The attendants also brought three bowls of sea to each of them.

This is the wine vessel used by the steppe people to drink.

Wolf King Mingyao took the lead in drinking.

Scoop the soup from the jar into the bowl with a wooden spoon.

A wooden spoon happens to be a sea bowl.

After three spoonfuls, all three bowls are full.

"!"

Wolf Wang Ming picked up a bowl and said.

Cheers for the first three times.

But it has to be drunk three bowls in one breath to finish it before it counts.

And there is a competition between who is faster and who is slower.

The person who finishes drinking the slowest should give the one who finishes drinking the fastest.

Both Ang Ran and Ang Ambition have their own plans in their hearts.

When I got to the second bowl, I deliberately slowed down.

Because they must let the wolf king Mingyao be the fastest person.

The two are trying to compete over who is the slowest.

After all, this gives the wolf king Ming Yao the opportunity to sell wine, but it is not easy to see it.

Ang Ran and Ang Xiong finally picked up the third bowl.

But they saw that the third bowl of the wolf king Mingyao was about to be drunk.

Therefore, they must be careful in this third bowl.

It can't be too slow, so that the wolf king Mingyao can detect the deliberateness.

You can't end up with a second place with nothing too quickly.

Just when Ang Xiong was so calculating.

Angran suddenly raised his neck.

Drink the remaining half bowl of wine.

The second one was drunk.

Ang Xiong didn't know what Ang Ran's heart was.

But since he is already the slowest, there is nothing to rub into.

I had to finish it quickly and put down the bowl.

"It seems that I want Brother Angxiong to sell me wine!"

Wolf King Mingyao said with a smile.

How could he not know about this little trick of the two brothers?

It's just that you can't see through it.

"It is an honor to sell wine to His Royal Highness the Wolf King!"

Ang Xiong said.

Then he stepped forward and gave the wolf king Mingyao a spoonful of wine from the wine vat.

"Alas...... I don't think I've had a good drink a few times!

Just when Ang Xiong gave the wolf king Mingyao wine, he suddenly sighed with emotion.

"Why does His Royal Highness the Wolf King say that? If you are willing, the two brothers can accompany you every day to get drunk!"

Said proudly.

He had given up the opportunity to give the wolf king Ming Yao a drink.

So this talk is to be preempted.

"When the eagle is young, it also chirps non-stop, and that's because it is not fully feathered and cannot fly. When its wings are full and it can soar above the nine heavens, it rarely cries. ”

Wolf King Mingyao said.
