When the old Khan heard the silver eagle's report, he smiled silently, stretched out his hand to signal the winged guards to help him up, and paced slowly in the wide and comfortable sleeping tent, his eyes sweeping over the face of the beautiful slave girl.

"Bring the Dragon King and let me see if I can convince this unconvincing madman. ”

If this sentence came from someone else's mouth, the silver eagle would be surprised, and he would only obey the old Khan king unconditionally, bow down and withdraw, without judging or thinking about how the dragon king would face this strange scene.

Gu Shen touched the knife for the habitual surname, his right hand flew into the air, remembering that the weapon was left in the Dragon Army camp, he didn't kneel, just nodded in greeting.

Although the old Khan King was the master of the grassland, the controller of the Western Regions, and was qualified to be bowed down by all kings, he met the Dragon King on such a casual occasion, which made Gu Shenwei feel that kneeling was superfluous.

The old Khan sat on the edge of the bed, wearing only a wide robe, the front of which was open to reveal his thin and hairy chest, surrounded by five slave girls, one of whom pinched his shoulders behind him and offered to lean on, two rubbed his hands and two pounded his legs, all with care, as if his fingers were touching a precious and fragile piece of porcelain.

They were dressed simply, mostly naked, their eyes fixed on their fingers, and they turned a blind eye to external objects, as if only the old Khan's skin was valuable in the whole world.

The old Khan King stood up and slowly walked towards the Dragon King, "The Taoist priest of the Central Plains said that you can get immortality from women, I love to hear this, but I don't believe it, the medicine is bitter, women have given me too much happiness, such a beautiful thing should hide poison, how can it make people immortal? I couldn't reach the realm of storing essence blood, so I realized that the Taoist priests were actually looking for excuses for indulgence, they set a goal that was difficult to achieve, and they were happy to fail over and over again. If all failures can be so pleasant, no one wants to succeed. ”

After saying these words, the old Khan King happened to walk to the Dragon King's side, naturally raised his arm slightly, let the Dragon King support him, and paced back and forth in the sleeping tent, "The old man's happiness is not much, every morning when he opens his eyes, he finds that he is still alive, and he can get up with the help of others, he already feels very happy, if the sword is not old, the whole day will be beautiful." I don't have much beauty these days, today is one, and lo and behold, it's her who brings me beauty. ”

The old Khan's eyes fell on the slave girl who was kneeling beside the bed and had pinched his shoulders for him, and the slave girl hung her head and blushed slightly.

Gu Shenwei couldn't answer, but he finally understood where Xiao Yan's speaking style came from, and she must have learned a lot of skills in her career of currying favor with the old Khan King.

"She hates me. ”

The old Khan's casual words frightened the five female slaves, and they immediately knelt down, trembling all over, but they didn't dare to open their mouths to argue.

"Fear is the vanguard of hatred, so you see, several of them hate me. ”

The old Khan turned and paced towards the door again, "This is normal, they come from tribes that were once hostile to me, and as a punishment, these tribes are to be offered to me every two or three years with a different number of maidens, all of whom were born into prestigious families, and are served by others at home, and here, the only thing is to serve me. Thanks to the tribes that brought disaster when I was young, when my interest became less and less, the hatred in my heart never diminished, and the thought of being the daughter of the enemy made me feel re-energized, and the gun was hardened, and it was thanks to them that I could prove that I was still a man. ”

Gu Shenwei still couldn't speak, concentrating on maintaining the posture of support, and suddenly found that he had no aversion to this action, and even had a faint satisfaction of being impressed by His Holiness.

"Someone introduced me to the way Jinpeng Castle trained killers, instilling hatred in the hearts of apprentices from an early age, making them hate their masters, hate their masters, hate each other, and even hate themselves, I don't know if it's true?"

"Almost. Gu Shenwei finally said the first sentence.

"It's a good method, but it's too extreme, the essence has the benefits of the essence, and the dross is not useless, and Jinpeng Castle has worked hard to sharpen the iron rod into a sharp fine needle, and in the end it can't beat a thick iron rod. ”

The old Khan King easily shifted the topic from women to governing the country, and Gu Shenwei could reply a few words, "What if you have an iron rod in one hand and a thin needle in the other?"

This is the thinking of many people, and the benefits of the numerous attempts made by successive emperors to recruit troops extensively, build a large army, and then select elite divisions from among them...... Two or three generations, in the end, the dross is still the dross, but the essence is no longer the essence, those once brave warriors, degenerate so quickly, you will be indignant to think that they have betrayed you, but in fact? They are just like you, tired, slack, and want to rest. ”

"There's no solution?"

"The only way to do this is to take a more risky approach and disperse the army to opposing parties, who will not dare to slack off in a life-and-death environment, and the soldiers will naturally not fall. ”

"It's really risky. ”

"Haha, that's right, with an army in hand, everyone feels that they are qualified to climb to the highest position, and this ambition is even stronger when the highest person is an old fellow who has not died for a long time. ”

"The Old Khan won't let that happen. ”

"No, it won't. The old Khan's answer was surprisingly resolute, not at all as verbose as before, and then he sighed, pointed to the bed, and motioned for the dragon king to help him back into his place, "But I am getting old, and I am becoming more and more unable to stop this. ”

The old Khan sat down, hunched over, almost indistinguishable from an ordinary old man.

Five slave girls came up, and the old Khan's right hand on the edge of the bed moved slightly, and the slave girl understood, bowed down and retreated to the corner, standing silently, observing her master's every move with her spare eyes.

"Let me ask you a few questions. ”

"Speak. ”

Gu Shenwei stood in front of the old Khan King, like a humble student, and he really believed that he could learn a lot from this old man.

The old Khan King did not ask questions immediately, looked up at the Dragon King, and suddenly said, "Sit down." ”

Like ghosts, the two slave girls brought a marching chair and sat down so that the old Khan would not have to look up at him.

"When you fought the Jinpeng Army in the Joyful Sea, many of your subordinates, including the one you thought were the most loyal, secretly communicated with Beiting, and there was so much information from the front line, I haven't finished reading it until now. ”

"I know. ”

"Do you know about it or do you know about it?"

"Half of each. ”

"But you didn't execute any of them, and some of them were rewarded, which makes me very curious, and I have invited you all the way here, which is one of the things I want to ask the most. ”

"He who is rewarded is for his exploits. ”

"What about anyone else executed?"

"As the old Khan King said, dross is not useless, and the dragon army is too weak to have much room for waste. ”

"Ha, you're avoiding the truth, that's what I just said, you wouldn't have thought at the time, but talking about the real reason, curiosity is one of the few pleasures I have left. ”

Gu Shenwei thought for a while, and the old Khan King taught him a lesson, he should be polite, "My world is different from the old Khan King. ”

"Hmm. ”

"The loyalty of the people of the Northern Court to the Khan is innate and a universal obligation, and betrayal is an anomaly, and everyone is punished for it. ”

"That's right, this is my world, and before I even learned to speak, someone was already expressing loyalty to me, what is your world like?"

"In my world, everyone is self-interested, there is no loyalty or betrayal, I can't protect everyone, and they won't be loyal to me unconditionally. For me, loyalty is the abnormality, I will cherish it, as for the occasional betrayal, as long as it is not a direct betrayal, I can tolerate it, what they do is just the reaction of normal people, when the crisis comes, arrange an extra way back for myself. I do the same thing as they do, when I make a plan, I have to have at least one backup. ”

"It doesn't sound like a good world, and the Dragon King doesn't seem to care. ”

"What's the use of anger, it only drives those half-hearted subordinates to the enemy. ”

"Weakness and kindness encourage betrayal as well, and don't think that your kindness will be rewarded. ”

"I have no good intentions, the old Khan said that I have not executed any of them, no, I have killed several open betrayers. And I believe that strength is the solid backing of loyalty, which is also the purpose of my coming to Longting. ”

The old Khan sighed wearily, "I have experienced many betrayals, but even in the most tragic and difficult times, it has not reached the point where no one can be trusted. ”

"The strength of the old Khan king is innate. ”

"Hehe, thank you to the ancestors of the past generations, they bequeathed their strength to me, and I will also leave it to the next generation of Khan kings, and I will add a little more. ”

"The new Khan will be grateful. ”

"Perhaps, I don't remember what the previous Khan king, my father, looked like. Does the Dragon King like women?"

The topic of the old Khan King inexplicably turned to the woman again, and Gu Shenwei didn't know how to answer, "It's okay, within the normal range." ”

"That's like it, I heard that Dubu Wang was also a womanizer in the past, and in order to compete for the Western Regions, he decided to quit sex a few years ago, which is the right thing to do. Can you imagine? I can't do as I want until I'm forty-five years old, but God is fair, and my seed doesn't dry up, even though it doesn't blossom and bear fruit, and that's a kind of compensation. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't speak, he didn't feel that he had a loss, so he didn't want to compensate.

"Can the Dragon King quit sex like the Dubu King?"

This was more of an expectation than a question, and the old Khan did not intend to invite him at all, but had already assumed that the dragon king had agreed to be his subordinate, and he was making a request.

"Yes. Gu Shenwei found that he couldn't refuse at all.

A slave girl came with a wooden plate with a white paper folded in half.

"Everything in Jinpeng Castle is too extreme, you don't have to quit sex completely, choose the one you like the most, you can take it with you. ”

Gu Shen was puzzled, picked up the piece of paper, opened it, and saw a series of familiar names: Shangguan Ru, Henu, Queen Ju, Xu Yanwei, Luo Ning Tea, Tie Linglong, Red Bat......
