Shang Liao could not accept this arrangement, and leaving Xiaoyaohai would shake his unstable foundation, and the recovery of a vast country like Shule would likely be protracted and directly confronted by the Beiting cavalry.

"Dragon King, are you borrowing a knife to kill people and get rid of me and the Jinpeng Army? Don't be so troublesome, I'll just stand here, the army on the north shore is not even complete in armor, it is all your fish and meat, and they are slaughtered at will. ”

Anger and courage rose in his heart at the same time, Shang Liao couldn't manage so much, he held his head high, and had no scruples.

Dugu Xian and Prince Shule were slightly embarrassed, their eyes moved to the side, but Prime Minister Zhong Heng stared at Shang Liao with interest, thinking that the Dragon King's judgment was really right, this is a person who will do whatever it takes for his own interests, he regards Xiaoyaohai as his own bag, and is angry with those who are involved.

Gu Shenwei also raised his head, he would not be coerced in public, "You and your army are not worthy of me borrowing a knife to kill, go back to your north shore, give you half a month, we will meet on the battlefield, I don't want to be a fish, just prove that I have this strength." Beiting, Jinpeng Castle, and Central Plains are all behind you, and you can choose who you want to rely on. ”

The two of them looked at each other angrily, Dugu Xian became more and more embarrassed, he had never seen the dragon king show anger, so he was very uncomfortable.

Prince Shule was a guest, and the quarrel arose because of him, so he couldn't help but feel deeply uneasy, cleared his throat, and just wanted to say two words of the round, when he saw Zhong Heng on the other side glaring at him, so he closed his mouth again.

The one who succumbed was Shang Liao, and he knew very well that as soon as he declared himself an enemy of the Dragon King, his newly established army would be torn apart, and without an army, which great nation would look up to him?

It was stupid to turn his face with the dragon king, he was careless for a while, he couldn't control his emotions, he had to make amends, hesitated for a while, Shang Liao was not used to kneeling down on one leg, bowed his head and said: "The dragon king forgives the sin, it is me who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I am the right general of the dragon army, the army on the north bank will always be part of the dragon army, please give the dragon king an order, I will immediately lead the army to the country of Shule." ”

"Get up. Gu Shenwei nodded slightly, Zhong Heng and the others understood what he meant, and retired together.

Prince Shule will rely on Shang Liao's army to restore the country in the future, and when he passes by him, he shows a kind smile, but the other party turns a blind eye, and his face is as cold as ice.

These two military leaders have already had problems with each other before they even began to cooperate.

Shang Liao stood still, not knowing what else the Dragon King had to say to himself in private.

Gu Shenwei went to study the map again, and after a while, he said, "Your mission is not just to recover the Shule Kingdom. ”

"Please show the Dragon King. ”

"The first is military training, your army ......"

"Your army. Shang Liao no longer dared to think that the army on the north shore was his own.

"Well, the soldiers you have received are panicked and half-hearted to you, and it will be a disaster to stay in the Xiaoyao Sea, and bringing them to the country of Shule is not only to give them trust, but also to give you the opportunity to gain the allegiance of the soldiers in the war. ”

"That's what the Dragon King said. Shang Liao replied respectfully, but he didn't think so, these truths are nothing more than an addition that doesn't cost money, anyone can think of it.

"Second, Xiaoyao Haiti is sparsely populated and can't afford to raise so many soldiers, so when he goes to Shule Country, the crown prince will be responsible for all the provisions, which can be regarded as a burden. ”

"In fact, the army on the north bank is less than 10,000 people, and we can still afford to raise it if we think of a way. Shang Liao struggled slightly, these soldiers and dragon kings may not be able to raise, but he can, even if it is doubled, it is not a problem, the influence of the local royal family of Xiaoyaohai is incomparable to any outsider, in the past, those faint old kings sat on the golden mountain but did not know it, wasting the status and title of the monarch in vain, he would never repeat the mistakes of the past.

"It's not 10,000, it's 30,000. Gu Shenwei didn't just think about sending Shang Liao out of the sea, "There are still more than 30,000 troops on the south bank, and they will soon be incorporated into the Dragon Army, and I will allocate 20,000 to you." ”

Shang Liao was taken aback, the Dragon King had just shown full malice, but he gave him 20,000 soldiers, which was tantamount to cutting off the flesh of people, even if there was a problem with the supply of the Dragon Army, there were many solutions, and it was more in the interests of the Dragon King to send it to the country of Xiangji to reclaim the land than to give it away.

"Dragon King ......" Shang Liao vacillated between trust and suspicion, and had nothing to say for a while.

"I need not only a right general, but also an ally, and you have the strength. ”

Shang Liao knelt down on one leg again, his heart was pounding, he was born in the royal family, and he knew very well that the praise of the king often had a deep meaning, and it was usually not a good thing, "Shang Liao is shallow and talented, has short ambitions, and cannot afford the status of an ally, so he is only willing to assist the Dragon King wholeheartedly." ”

When they first met, Shang Liao, who was arrogant and arrogant, was gone, and he had nothing at that time, so he naturally wanted to use the most exaggerated way to get the attention of the Dragon King, and now he has mastered a powerful but unstable force, and he has begun to suffer from gains and losses.

"To be an ally of the Dragon Army is to assist me, say what you want. "In order for Shang Liao to take the initiative to recover the Shule Kingdom, Gu Shen can't just force it, but also give some bait.

"In addition to replenishing the necessary armor, I ...... There are no other requirements. Shang Liao stood up and replied carefully.

"You only get one chance, and when you get out of this tent, you can't ask anything of me again. ”

Shang Liao gritted his teeth, "I hope that after recovering the Shule Kingdom, the Dragon King will allow me to return to the Xiaoyao Sea and implement the agreement we reached at the beginning, allowing the Kang Kingdom to expand its territory to the west." ”

"You will grant your wish, but until then, you will have to send troops from the west to capture Jinpeng Fort with me. ”

Shang Liao no longer had the slightest contempt for the Dragon King, he became cautious, "Deal, I hope this agreement is not just verbal. ”

Feeling that this sentence was a bit rude, Shang Liao hurriedly added: "I didn't mean to find a witness to make a covenant in public or something, as long as a piece of paper has a few lines of words, and there is the Dragon King's own handwriting, I will keep it secret and will never leak it." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Shang Liao left the Dragon King's tent contentedly, feeling that he had gained more than he had lost, and that he had begun to be impatient to recover the kingdom of Shule.

The Dragon King gave him the Secret Treaty, and although the wording was intentionally vague, two points were clear, first, he could own and recruit troops, and second, he owned Kangguo, who would support his actions when Kangguo was "threatened" and needed to fight back.

The only regret is that Shang Liao failed to return to the capital of Kangguo, and only after recovering Shule will the army of 1,000 people leave, but the city gate is open from then on, and he can go in and inspect his capital as King Kang and stay in the palace that belongs to him.

Shang Liao finally asked the Dragon King what else to explain, and Gu Shenwei gave him a death order, "Never give Prince Shule a single soldier." ”

Gu Shen wanted a general who had the ability to stand alone to expand the territory, and as for whether he needed to regain control of the army on the north bank in the future and how to regain it, he already had a general idea, and finally had to improvise.

As night fell, Gu Shen wanted to continue to meet a series of guests, the dragon army was marching to all parts of the Xiaoyao Sea, in the name of paying tribute to the fallen soldiers, many generals gathered together, many people had no special needs, just wanted to see the dragon king before going to the garrison, to express their respect.

Especially those swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, after Dugu Xian's reorganization, they are no longer an independent army, scattered in various armies of thousands of people, most of them hold certain positions, and become the skeleton of the Dragon Army, which is the trust and importance of the Dragon King to them, but it also makes many people sad, and the opportunities for the people of the Great Snow Mountain to fight side by side are becoming less and less.

Gu Shenwei took turns for two hours to meet with the representatives of the Great Snow Mountain, encouraging them to behave in the war and mourning the names of the soldiers who had unfortunately fallen in battle.

After this, Gu Shenwei summoned the last person of the day, his queen.

Since Nandu, he has never been alone with the queen, and some things are usually conveyed by Xu Yanwei.

The late-night meeting was the queen's own request, she loved her reputation, and she wanted everyone to see that she was still the wife of the dragon king.

The queen's actions during the war, including the plan to prepare the escape route in advance, were all clear to Gu Shenwei, and he did not blame her, but sternly reminded her that she was not allowed to enter the barracks again in the future and interfere in the affairs of the right general.

Looking at each other, neither of them came up with a word of greeting, the passion of the first few days of the wedding had already disappeared, the queen was the same as Shang Liao in Gu Shenwei's eyes, she was a force that needed to be used carefully, and for the queen, the dragon king was the source of her strength.

"I'm ready, and I'll take the king back to Stone City the day after tomorrow. ”

"Well, take good care of him, so that when he grows up, he can become a qualified king. ”

This was the end of the perfunctory words, and the queen decided that it was better to have something to say, "No matter how you take care of it, it is not your own child, you don't want to ...... Do you have an heir of your own?"

"Now is not the time to think about such a thing. Gu Shenwei's tone was flat, and the map on the table became the only thing he could see.

The queen had already guessed that there would be such an answer, and bit her lip, and her hint could only end there, "If I am destined not to have children, I hope that the dragon king will give me some assurance." ”

"Guarantee what?"

"I promise that I won't become a superfluous person in Shiguo. ”

"You are the princess of Shiguo......"

"That doesn't make sense. The queen hurriedly said, "When King Shi grows up a few years later, his biological mother will dislike me, and he will also dislike me for being troublesome, and I think you will not stay in the sea forever, and I will be alone." ”

"Say, what guarantee do you want. ”

"Title me the queen of Shiguo, anyway, I don't have children, and the throne will be passed to my nephew in the future. ”

Gu Shenwei was a little surprised, "The people of the Shi Kingdom will not accept a queen." ”

"As long as you divide it, the entire Western Regions will recognize it. ”

"Nonsense, there is no queen in any country in the Western Regions, and besides, you are not destined to have no children, but now is not the time. ”

"Haven't you made a queen in the land of incense?" The queen knew that she had little favor with her husband, and that she had no qualifications to pamper her, but some words were still not unpleasant.

"She's not a queen. Gu Shenwei's tone became cold, "You can leave." ”

The queen's face turned red, and she noticed that the dragon king used "she" instead of "Shangguan Ru", so she walked out of the tent, and turned back at the door, "I memorize those scriptures every day, all for you." ”

In the eighth and ninth chapters of the Book of Wu Dao, the queen's mind is now the only carrier in the world, and she does not believe that the dragon king will be indifferent to it.

"I'll remember it. ”

This was the answer the dragon king gave her.

As soon as the queen came out of the camp, she saw a woman and a young man dodge into the dragon king's tent, and they did not need to be informed by the guards.

"Who are those two people?" she asked Xu Yanwei, who was waiting outside the tent.

Xu Yanwei really didn't want to tell the truth, but there was no good lie, "Chu Nanping, the Dragon King's guard, that woman's ...... She is a lotus girl and the guardian of the dragon king. ”

That's the Lotus Girl, the queen has heard some rumors about her, saying that she is a killer as ruthless as the King of the Dragon, and it turns out that she is also a beauty.

Women are jealous, she wonders, will the Dutch girl be like her, secretly dissatisfied with the "queen" of the country of incense?
