Xiao Yan's expression seemed to be serious, but Shangguan Ru couldn't help but laugh, "I'm sorry." She said, "I just heard you talk about women's affection, and I really can't accept your advice later." ”

Xiao Yan was neither angry nor embarrassed, and she would not change her mind, she held up a finger, "Listen, do you know what is the sound outside?"

"A group of people were drinking. Shangguan was a little curious, and wanted to see what tricks the Xiao Yan clan would come up with.

They were drinking, and they were showing their loyalty to Dotun. Xiao Yan looked excited and satisfied, as if Duo Dun was also achieving a part of her success, "Xiao Wan City, Tongtian Pass, Dragon Court, all the armies are Beiting cavalry, some of them have long been loyal to Duo Dun, and the others will not hesitate to throw themselves to the Khan Prince Sun even if they have not seen Duo Dun, this is a thing that has been destined for a hundred years. But what about the Dragon King, it has been less than two months since he gained the trust of the people of Beiting, and I have to say that sooner or later, his methods will be seen through by everyone, and the trust will not last long. ”

"So, the so-called handing over the 70,000 cavalry of Tongtian Pass to the Dragon King is a lie? They will betray the Dragon King at any time and return to the North Court. ”

"Not necessarily, it depends on whether the dragon king can stabilize the morale of the army, I believe that as long as Dotun does not participate in the competition, the dragon king still has this ability. But the 10,000 people here and the 100,000 people in the Dragon Court, Dotun will hold them firmly in his hands, just like Azheba, he admires the Dragon King, but if he is asked to choose between the Dragon King and Dodun, he will not hesitate to shoot arrows at the Dragon King. ”

"You seem to be hinting at something. Shangguan Ru smiled, and there was no trace of drunkenness on his face.

"Hint?" "I didn't even know what I could do, well, let me make it clearer, on one side is Dotun, the favorite son of the old Khan, young, brave, loved by the officers and the soldiers, you have also seen his ability to win people's hearts; The effect is slow, and it is doubtful whether the effect will last long. ”

"Listen to what you mean, the dragon king seems to be vulnerable. ”

"It depends on who the Dragon King's opponent is, and Dotun is not a teenager. ”

"King Zhuzhu and King Kua were originally the strongest princes in Beiting, and they wanted to use the Dragon King, but they died. ”

"It was an accident, the crazy women of Xiaoyuetang are hiding in the dark and fishing in the water, they can't hide anymore, at least Dotun won't despise them. ”

"When I left the Dragon Court, 100,000 close servants were eyeing and wanted to kill everyone, and when I arrived at Tongtian Pass, I heard that these 100,000 people had returned to normal and were willing to accept the command of the officers. ”

"Of course, Duo Dun is grateful to the Dragon King, so he is so generous, willing to provide 70,000 Beiting cavalry, what the Dragon King has done is to return to Zhao completely, from beginning to end, he is not the monarch of any Beiting people. ”

The commotion outside was rising higher and higher, and the men were drinking to the fullest, and soon they would be dancing, bragging, fighting, and vomiting in public, but the two women inside were becoming more and more sober, looking at each other across the table, and the sparks in their eyes almost lit the wine on the table.

They laughed at the same time, toasted and drank, both embarrassed by their gaffe just now, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan changed from aggressive to friendly and cordial, "Look, this is a woman, I haven't gotten Dotun yet, you haven't gotten the Dragon King, they're still allies now, but we're arguing over these two people." ”

The bittersweet and bitter poured into Shangguan Ru's heart at the same time, Xiao Yan can defend Duo Dun, what qualifications do he have to speak for the Dragon King?

Xiao Yan spread out his right hand, indicating that this is what he meant, "In the first few years of marrying the old Khan, I always wanted to commit suicide, until I met Dodun, at first I regarded him as a child, as a younger brother, and watched him grow a little bit, and finally became a lover, for him I continued to endure that skinny old bastard." I can do it, and so can you, because we're both women. What's more, the Dragon King already has a queen, and if you marry the Dragon King, you will not have more status than marrying Dotun. ”

"I can't think of any good for you. ”

"I'm older than you and know men better than you. "When a man is young, he sees one and loves another, and only after a long time of contact will he understand who his true love is, and Dotun will be the king of Khan in the future, and there will be more women to marry, I am willing to wait." ”

"Are you willing to wait, but sacrifice me?"

"It's not that I sacrifice you, it's whether you are willing to sacrifice for the Dragon King. ”

"He doesn't need my sacrifice, and neither you nor Dotun should underestimate him. ”

The atmosphere was a little tense again, and Xiao Yan chose to retreat, "Alas, my suggestion may have been made too early, the current situation is very favorable to the Dragon King, your thoughts are normal, I just want to say one thing, one day when you change your mind, I will not be an obstacle between you and Dotun." ”

This suggestion disgusted Shangguan Ru, especially the look of the Xiao Yan clan, as if everything was predestined: Duo Dun would defeat the dragon king in the war, and Xiao Yan would also win the future battle for favor.

"The dish is already cold. Shangguan Ru said softly.

"It can be reheated. ”

"The wine is gone, so it's better to fall asleep. ”

"Go to sleep, think about me, we'll be good sisters. Really, if Dotun had been obsessed with another woman, such as that Ronin Tea, I would have just slapped him in the face to make him sober up, and then sent someone to kill Ronin Tea. But you are different, you and I have a lot in common, maybe I am self-inflicted, but I think Dotun sees my shadow in you. ”

In the face of this confidence that bordered on arrogance, Shangguan Ru's response was just a smile.

She returned to her tent, not sleepy at all, but she didn't want to join in the banquet in Dotun again, the red bat was not around, Shangguan Ru asked the female soldier to find a pot of wine, drink it alone, two glasses down, feel irritable, can no longer drink.

The wine is really gone.

She held the edge of the wine glass and shook it gently, remembering that the third brother Shangguan Yun had this habit, and the distant country of incense suddenly became cordial, where things were always very simple, you could cry, you could laugh, everything was casual.

The female soldier came in and reported that Azheba had asked to see her.

Azheba's face was flushed, his steps were shaking, he was holding a big wine jar in both hands, and looked at Shangguan Ru in a daze, "Why don't you go drinking?"

Shangguan Ru smiled slightly, and raised the wine glass in his hand to him, "Aren't I drinking?"

Azheba sat opposite Shangguan Ru, looking left and right, looking for things everywhere, "Bowl, this kind of wine is better to drink in a big bowl." ”

The female soldier immediately went out to find two bowls, and Shangguan Ru motioned for her to stay in the tent.

The two bowls of wine were filled and some of them were spilled, and Azheba took them up and drank them all, and looked at her blankly.

Shangguan Ru also drank it, smacking his tongue and tasting it, "It is indeed good wine." ”

"Of course, this is the best wine shipped from the Central Plains, there is a strange name, I forgot, there are only a few jars in total, I snatched one from His Highness, hehe, I have been good friends with His Highness for many years, he will not blame me. "Azheba went against the norm, from being polite and reasonable to being open, and he talked more.

Shangguan Ru felt unfamiliar with Azheba in front of him, and the next wine was just a sip symbolizing his surname, Azheba didn't notice, he kept pouring and drinking, and almost drank half of the jar by himself.

"Beiting will soon be strong again, and Prince Dotun will rule the grasslands, and he will be the grandson of the old Khan, how can he win the battle for His Highness? Soon, I estimate that in the summer and autumn of next year, the war will end, and His Highness will become the Khan King who is supported by all the people, and then lead us to achieve greater feats than the old Khan. ”

"All the tribes in the steppe have submitted to the Khan, what greater feats are there? Annexing the Western Regions and attacking the Central Plains?"

"No, you don't know how big the grassland is, ** years ago, I used to follow the old Khan all the way west, driving non-stop for half a year, looking from afar, the grassland in front of me, always not to the end of the day, the old Khan King pointed to the front and said, 'My children and grandchildren will continue to move forward until the land of falling'. ”

"Did you hear it with your own ears?"

Azheba shook his head and eagerly defended, "I was on duty in the rear, and it was told to me by other officers, but I didn't lie, and many people heard it. ”

Shangguan Ru smiled and reassured him, "I believe you, this is indeed like what the old Khan King would say." ”

"So you see, the steppe is not lonely, there are many merits to build, there are many lands to be conquered, and here is where you can use it. ”

Shangguan Ru's face sank, "Dotun asked you to come again?"

Azheba was already drunk and couldn't tell the change in the other party's mood, "No, I'm coming by myself, I'm really for your good, you ...... Beautiful, all the women in the world together are not as good as a single hair of yours, and you are so smart, bold, and magnanimous, who else is more qualified to be the mistress of the grassland than you? I believe that all the people of Beiting are willing to be loyal to you, to fight for you, to die for you, because that's what I think. ”

Shangguan Ru sighed, "You're drunk." ”

"No, I know what I'm talking about, even if Your Highness himself is here, I dare to say, I like you, but I'm not worthy of you, only ......"

Shangguan Ru stretched out his hand and gently touched his chest, and Azheba slowly lay on the table and fell asleep.

The female soldier at the door immediately called in to help, helped him out of the tent, and handed him over to the other soldiers.

Shangguan Ru was in a heavy mood, the reason was not that Azheba was open-mouthed, but that he doubted for the first time that the Dragon King would have a way to compete with Prince Dotun for the hearts of the Northern Court, perhaps Xiao Yan's self-confidence was justified.

When it was almost dawn, the red bat rushed back from the city, and before Shangguan Ru slept, the red bat said as soon as they met: "The dragon king can't see Prince Dotun, so we have to find a way to delay it for at least one day." ”
