"Really impossible?"
Inside Kunning Palace.
The stalemate continues.
Zhao Chongyuan stood up, twisted his neck and looked at Xu Tiande.
But before he could continue to speak, Xu Tiande stretched out his hand to block Zhao Chongyuan's face: "Stop, let me ask first, today is a family dinner, right? We are not kings and ministers, we are just children, we are playmates, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Zhao Chongyuan nodded and looked at Xu Tiande noncommittally.
"Okay, let's talk about it carefully today."
Xu Tiande was also excited and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with his neck stiffened.
"Come on, tell me, I'm listening today. I want to hear what you, Xu Erdezi, can tell me."
Zhao Chongyuan stood in front of the table and walked around with his hands on his hips.
"Then I'll tell you, anyway, my head is scarred as big as a bowl."
Xu Tiande shook his head and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with his hands on his hips, showing no sign of fear at all.
"Hey, you Xu Erdezi, you have the ability, right?"
Seeing Xu Tiande's posture, Zhao Chongyuan suddenly became angry.
"Do you still want me to say it? If you don't let me say it, I won't say it today. If you say I've offended you, just ask someone to kill me. I admit it. Who made you the king?" I am a minister..."
"Okay, okay, don't talk to me about gains and losses. Whatever you say today, I won't blame you. We are brothers here. When we go out, I am the king and you are the minister. Here, you are the one who I, Zhao Chongyuan, have scolded me so much that you, Xu Tiande, can do it!"
Before Xu Tiande could finish speaking, Zhao Chongyuan raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Okay, I'll say it then."
Xu Tiande nodded and completely let go of his worries. He stepped on the table with one foot and touched the table with the other hand. He looked at Zhao Chongyuan with his neck raised and said, "Do you think that the ninth person in your family is the same as you when you were young?" It seems that eight sticks can't knock a dull thing out. When I was studying in Yangxin Hall, I couldn't recite a thousand-character essay after memorizing it for a month, which almost made old Master Zhang Shiwei angry to death.
Also, my second son and your ninth son didn't want to study and went to dig out bird's nests, but you came to arrest them. Your ninth son was better off and sold our second son directly, saying that my family took him there.
Go home and give me a good beating.
After half a month, your ninth child admitted in a sullen voice that he instigated my second child to do the bird nest removal.
When you were young, you peeped at the palace maids taking a bath. You couldn't reach the door or window without saying "Hey," and you asked me to serve as a stool for you. When the late emperor came over, it was better for you to just slip away and leave me somewhere.
And when you were studying, it wasn’t me who gave you a cheat sheet.
Just focus on these two points. How is your Lao Jiu not like you?
You just want to marry my eldest daughter.
Zhao Chongyuan, let me tell you, even if you chop off my head today, I will not marry my eldest daughter to your ninth daughter. "
Xu Tiande became more and more angry as he talked. In the end, he simply stretched out his head and approached Zhao Chongyuan.
"Hey, Xu Erdezi, you are petty, aren't you? How old are we? Do you still remember what happened back then?
You are shameless when you say it, why should I still be shameless? "
Zhao Chongyuan was so angry that his beard trembled wildly, he kept breathing heavily and talking non-stop.
"I just said, eh, why don't you let people talk about what you did?"
Xu Tiande stood in front of Zhao Chongyuan very bachelor.
"Okay, okay, okay, Xu Tiande, you are amazing, you are noble, I can climb the high branch."
Zhao Chongyuan said three words in a row, panting heavily and waving his hands: "Your eldest daughter, I don't want it in the Zhao family. Hey, I don't believe it yet. I can't find a girl who is satisfactory to me in the Zhao family." daughter-in-law."
"Hey, it just so happens that the eldest girl in my family doesn't want to get married either!"
Xu Tiande also nodded.
"Oh, oh, you said you are both quite old, half of your body has been buried in the ground, why are you still quarreling like a young person when we meet?"
The curtain was lifted.
Queen Ma came out with a bowl of roast goose.
"Sister Ma, please judge for us. You said that the ninth child of your family is not like him. He is not good at studying. He is a traitor. Now I am not happy to let my eldest daughter marry the ninth child of your family. That is to say, Sister Ma, you are a nice person and that's why you fell in love with him. If it were me, hey, I wouldn't even be able to kill him."
Xu Tiande clapped his hands, looked at Queen Ma, and snorted at the last word.
"Hey, if you were a woman I wouldn't look down on you."
Not to be outdone, Zhao Chongyuan snorted and looked at Xu Tiande's tall and thick figure with disgust on his face.
Xu Tiande also snorted: "Hey, if I were a woman, I wouldn't look down on you either."
"Okay, okay sit down and eat."
Queen Ma looked helpless, and they pulled each other closer.
See Queen Ma speak.
Xu Tiande and Zhao Chongyuan sat in front of the table with faces and noses.
"Chongyuan, didn't you say you have some good wine for Tiande to drink? Bring it here, bring it here."
Queen Ma looked at Zhao Chongyuan and said.
"I feel like it's a waste to give him a drink!"
Zhao Chongyuan snorted, but turned around and took out a jar of good wine from the cabinet.
Nothing else.
It's Tamonyaki.
No, to be precise, it’s called nectar and jade dew!
Once you uncork the wine.
Suddenly a tangy aroma of wine hit my nose.
"Oh, what a drink."
Smelling the aroma of the wine, Xu Tiande's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but sniff his nose.
A look of intoxication on his face.
"It smells good."
Zhao Chongyuan looked proud.
"It smells better than the Mobei tribute wine you gave me two years ago."
Seeing Zhao Chongyuan pouring the wine, the crystal clear wine was like white water, Xu Tiande subconsciously licked his tongue.
Just as he was about to pick it up and take a sip, Zhao Chongyuan snatched it away.
"Hey, you guy."
Xu Tiande suddenly became unhappy.
Zhao Chongyuan sighed deliberately and said helplessly: "Oh, I'm not afraid of your jokes if I tell you. This wine is the one you despise the most. Yes, that's right, it's the one from our family that respects me. It's a pity. , you can get some of my glory, but you don’t have the oral pleasure anymore.”
Said.
A grunt.
Zhao Chongyuan drank the wine that was originally poured for Xu Tiande.
With an intoxicated look on his face, he said: "Ah, good wine, so fragrant."
Queen Ma rolled her eyes.
Some people are shameless. They are obviously being tricked by their own sons, yet they insist on doing it out of filial piety.
It's really shameless.
Of course in front of Xu Tiande.
It was not easy for Queen Ma to expose Zhao Chongyuan.
"Hey, if you are obsessed with things, it's just wine. I don't care about it."
Xu Tiande snorted.
He poured a glass of water without thinking.
Gudu also took a sip.
He said with admiration: "Ah, good water."
Zhao Chongyuan: "..."
"Like two kids who haven't grown up."
Queen Ma glanced at the two of them, picked up the wine jar in front of Zhao Chongyuan, and poured a glass for each of Zhao Chongyuan and Xu Tiande.
Look at the hops rising in the cup and the rich aroma of wine.
The glutton that Xu Tiande had just swallowed was hung up again.
Empress Ma poured the wine and explained with a smile: "This wine was brought from Youzhou by Chongyuan after a lot of effort. It is said that the annual output is only forty-five kilograms. Try it."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xu Tiande pursed his lips impatiently.
As soon as Queen Ma finished pouring it, she couldn't wait to take a sip.
It has a spicy taste and a sweet aftertaste.
After finishing the drink, Xu Tiande couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed a good wine."
Zhao Chongyuan groaned at the side.
If it weren't for deceiving Xu Tiande.
He couldn't bear to take out the few jars of Jade Girl Burnt he had left.
"Come and eat food."
Queen Ma personally gave Xu Tiande a piece of roast goose.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xu Tiande thanked him with joy.
The attitude towards Zhao Chongyuan just now is completely different from the sky and the earth.
Looking at Zhao Chongyuan at the side, I kept thinking in my heart.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Drink and drink.
Even though Xu Tiande was drinking too much, he started to feel a little dizzy.
Zhao Chongyuan on the side drank almost as much.
But what depressed him was.
Drinking Yunvshao this time seems to be a little different from the last time he drank it in Youzhou.
Although there is some throbbing in that area, it is just a bit throbbing.
As for the rest, I don't feel anything at all.
But I have some doubts in my heart.
Zhao Chongyuan didn't think much about it. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, he hugged Xu Tiande's neck and looked at Xu Tiande with drunken eyes: "What do you think of your eldest daughter marrying into my family?"
"impossible!"
Although Xu Tiande was a little dizzy from drinking, he still shook his head decisively.
Zhao Chongyuan gestured: "How about my ninth brother marrying you to the eldest girl?"
Xu Tiande pushed Zhao Chongyuan away and still shook his head: "Impossible."
"What about your eldest daughter marrying my old girl?"
"impossible!"
"How about my ninth son marrying your eldest daughter?"
"impossible!"
Snap!
Zhao Chongyuan slapped the table, stood up from the stool suddenly, and looked at Xu Tiande with drunken eyes: "I'm just asking you, is this wine good?"
"good!"
Xu Tiande nodded directly without thinking.
"Then your eldest daughter will marry my Lao Jiu, okay?"
"Okay!....Huh??Huh???"
Just after he finished speaking, Xu Tiande suddenly froze. He suddenly sobered up from the drunkenness he had just been feeling. He reacted and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with an annoyed look on his face: "Well, you Zhao Laosan, you are tricking me, right?"
At this moment, Zhao Chongyuan no longer looked drunk. He looked at Xu Tiande with a proud look on his face: "How can this be called a routine? This is called a soldier who never tires of deceit. Anyway, you have already agreed."
After speaking, he patted Xu Tiande on the shoulder and pointed to Queen Ma next to him: "Your sister-in-law also heard this, you can't change your mind!"
"Hey, I couldn't wash myself off even if I jumped into the Yellow River."
Xu Tiande looked annoyed.
"Hahaha."
Zhao Chongyuan laughed.
Seeing this, Empress Ma smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, my Lao Jiu is not the person you thought."
As he spoke, he got up and took out some strange things from the room.
Placed in front of Xu Tiande.
He casually picked up the telescope on the table and explained: "Look, this is a telescope. When you are marching and fighting, with it, you can see clearly even if the enemy is a thousand meters away. This is Lao Jiu's trick." of."
Before Xu Tiande could speak, Empress Ma took out the bronze bell on the table and explained: "This is a clock that can tell the time in detail. If you are equipped with it, put one in each military camp. When you march and fight in the future, There is no need to tell the time because of the unclear moonlight on cloudy and rainy days. In this way, you can mobilize the army faster."
"And this is..."
"This is......"
Watching Queen Ma introduce all kinds of weird gadgets one by one
Xu Tiande was dumbfounded: "Is this all the work of Lao Jiu?"
Picking them up subconsciously and tinkering with them one by one.
Zhao Chongyuan didn't care. Anyway, he bought these things to equip Xu Tiande and other powerful generals.
"Good stuff, really good stuff."
While Xu Tiande was tinkering, he couldn't help but sigh.
There are these things.
It will be very convenient for him to keep track of the enemy's movements in the future.
"You think so."
Zhao Chongyuan looked proud, "Let me tell you, do you know why Nan Chen and Beiliang have been so honest these years? It's all because they were frightened by our ninth brother. Otherwise, do you think those two weaklings would be so honest?"
"hiss!"
Xu Tiande took a breath of cold air, but when he thought about it carefully, it was the same.
Although Zhao Ding complained in memorials every day in these years.
But Nanchen and Beiliang's large-scale attack on Youzhou really didn't happen.
His bones have become itchy over the years.
"Lao Jiu really managed to keep those bastards from Nanchen and Beiliang in check?"
Xu Tiande still couldn't believe it.
He has fought against Nan Chen and Beiliang for many years.
He knew very well how difficult those two groups were.
Backed by Dayu.
He always pees in a pit.
For this reason, Daqian did not know how much manpower and material resources he had spent on the northern border in recent years.
"That's natural."
Zhao Chongyuan said noncommittally, and after that, he put his arms around Xu Tiande's neck and whispered: "There is a kind of crossbow in Lao Jiu's military camp, which can shoot ten arrows at a time, and the distance is long. It is a sharp archer who can draw the horns of a hard bow. It's not as far away as him. You said there is such an artifact.
Can Beiliang and Nanchen be dishonest? "
"hiss!"
Xu Tiande took another breath and asked eagerly: "Then why don't you bring some back this time?"
This thing is really an artifact.
Because Daqian was in the hinterland, the cavalry had been weak since ancient times, while the Southern, Chen and Beiliang armies were dominated by cavalry.
Every time he, Xu Tiande, encountered the cavalry from Nanchen and Beiliang on the battlefield, he would get a terrible headache.
You can't beat it again and again, you can't catch it if you chase it.
Every time it takes human lives to fill it, in order to restore the natural disadvantage of infantry to cavalry.
Even if they win, it will be a miserable victory.
It is precisely because of this that Daqian was trapped in these three battles.
Seeing Xu Tiande say this, Zhao Chongyuan looked at him resentfully: "But that little boy won't give it to me."
At that moment, Zhao Chongyuan simply told Xu Tiande everything about Youzhou.
Of course Zhao Ding cheated on him.
That's not a word said.
Don't ask why.
I just can't afford to lose face.
"Ouch, you're laughing so hard. I recognize dad, but dad doesn't recognize me?"
Xu Tiande held his stomach and laughed non-stop, almost crying.
The more he looked at Xu Tiande smiling like this, the more resentment grew on Zhao Chongyuan's face.
But he didn't say a word.
After a while, Xu Tiande said with a serious face: "However, His Highness King Yan really impressed me. How a Youzhou can be managed like this? There are indeed some methods. I am not as good as him."
Listening to Xu Tiande's words, Zhao Chongyuan asked with a smile: "Can your eldest daughter marry my Lao Jiu?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
However, Xu Tiande still shook his head decisively.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chongyuan immediately became unhappy: "Hey, Xu Erdezi, I'll give you some face, right?"
"well."
Xu Tiande sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that Prince Yan's palace won't be able to hold my eldest daughter."
