"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty. Tiger will definitely not cause trouble for Your Majesty today. If that bastard makes any changes and thinks it will be detrimental to Your Majesty, Tiger will protect Your Majesty to the death. Even if Tiger's body is broken into pieces, he will not let that bastard hurt him. Not even a hair on the prince's head." After seeing Huang Qiong's promise, Liu Hu stood up and promised unhesitatingly.
Huang Qiongquan pretended not to hear the flaw in Liu Hu's words. After taking the reins of his horse and getting on his horse. Huang Qiong looked at Liu Hu in front of him and said sadly: "You still know who your enemy is, but I don't even know who my enemy is or where he is. Compared with your pleasure and grudges, , I am far inferior to you."
Having said that, Huang Qiong, who was not in a very high mood, took the reins of his horse and took the lead in rushing out of Guancheng. Liu Hu and Fan Dao behind did not dare to neglect, and immediately followed closely with a hundred cavalry. Zhao Wushu adjusted his deployment and transferred all the mobilizable troops in the pass to Wang Dalong's leadership. He lined up just below the pass to prepare for Huang Qiong and his party at any time.
When Huang Qiong left the city, Fan Jian and his sister-in-law were closely watching the movements of Huang Qiong and his party above Guancheng. Especially Fan Jian's sister-in-law, her eyes never left the backs of her husband and Huang Qiong. After a long time, he said to Fan Jian beside him: "This King of England of yours is brave, careful and skillful. When you meet him, you can be regarded as a good bird choosing a tree to roost in."
"No matter how many years your brother is older than the King of England, he is far inferior in terms of scheming. Although this man is ruthless and scheming, he is extremely decisive when it is time to take action and will never be sloppy. But winning The key is to be open-minded enough and able to accommodate others. The key is to have a kind thought in your heart. Judging from this person's methods and city, he will definitely achieve great things in the future."
"To be honest, your sister-in-law and I have been traveling around the world for a few years, but this is the first time I have seen someone who can understand people's hearts so thoroughly. This person is so shrewd, and he can really put down his posture when needed. That just happened. You have also seen this scene, the method of manipulating people's hearts is something that even your brother can't do, if not others."
"Really relying on the King of England may not be a bad thing for the Fan family. Your brother is already a little moved, and after this trip, your brother will also make up his mind. If your brother figures it out, grandpa, we will I’ll help you convince me. It’s just that you, the King of England, are extremely sophisticated, and you are versatile and easy to do, so no one who has been around him will not be attracted to him.”
"He can attract people and keep them. The thirty-year-old military general guarding the gate was controlled by an eighteen-year-old young man. I have never seen a A young man of only eighteen years old is so shrewd. It is really hard to imagine that this King of England, who is even more skilled than my grandfather's thousand-year-old fox, is really only eighteen years old?"
Fan Jian's sister-in-law's words made Fan Jian beside her nod frequently. Fan Jian has always been convinced of this shrewd and capable sister-in-law's vision of people. My sister-in-law has never misjudged anyone, and even my stubborn grandfather in the family has always been convinced by this. And as long as my sister-in-law takes action, the head of the family will have something to say.
Huang Qiong, who had arrived at the meeting place with King Jing at this time, naturally had no idea about the conversation between Fan Jian and his sister-in-law behind him in Guancheng. After receiving Huang Qiong's reply that he agreed to meet, King Jing put a lot of effort into the meeting. When Huang Qiong arrived with a hundred cavalry, a very luxurious tent had been set up on the scheduled meeting ground.
With the curtains rolled up around it, you could see that a sumptuous banquet had been prepared inside. Around this big tent, there were only a few guards and eunuchs of King Jing. King Jing did not follow Huang Qiong's wishes and brought a hundred cavalry to the appointment. Huang Qiong felt a sense of admiration for King Jing's behavior.
The reason is simple. This camp is located on the main road leading to Hulao Pass outside the pass. The surrounding terrain is relatively flat, and the nearest place to hide an ambush is several miles away. This second brother of mine came alone this time. At least Huang Qiong had to admire this courage.
On the contrary, he brought not only two masters, but also a hundred cavalry, but he was somewhat petty. Huang Qiong, who was inadvertently overpowered by King Jing, could only shake his head and smile bitterly. My second brother is still playing tricks at this time. However, Huang Qiong just laughed at King Jing's behavior.
For Huang Qiong, he still had no intention of fighting over such a superficial matter. When they arrived more than a hundred meters away from this luxurious tent full of Northern Liao charm, they saw a person sitting in the tent. After Liu Hu next to him confirmed that the person was King Jing, Huang Qiong reined in his horse. Turn over and dismount.
King Jing, who was originally sitting in the tent, was identified by the envoy who entered the customs and confirmed that it was the King of England who came. After Huang Qiong dismounted his horse and came on foot in advance according to etiquette, he did not continue to sit in the tent. Instead, he stood up and came over with only the person who wrote the letter.
It's just that these two brothers, who have never met before, seem somewhat strange. After King Jing carefully looked at Huang Qiong, he was the first to speak: "Ninth brother, you and I are closely related by flesh and blood. But I didn't expect that we would meet on this battlefield for the first time. This is somewhat of a trick of fate. But you and I Although the brothers are meeting each other for the first time, the elder brother has been a close friend of the ninth brother for a long time."
"I, the elder brother, have heard about the deeds of the ninth younger brother in various classes in the capital for a long time, and I admire him very much in my heart. I have always been thinking about what kind of ordinary person the ninth younger brother is? When I saw him today, he is indeed extraordinary. My elder brother I have long wanted to have a drink and talk with my ninth brother, but unfortunately I have been unable to do so due to the ancestral system. Today, my brother is a little less drunk, which can be regarded as fulfilling his wish of being an older brother."
Hearing this, Huang Qiong cupped his hands and said: "I am extremely honored to be able to have a drink and chat with my second brother. I should have treated my brother to this drink, but now it's my second brother's favor. It's really a little unreasonable for me to think about it." Zhou. Since the second brother is ready today, as a younger brother, I won’t be polite to the second brother. Second brother, please."
"Why should the ninth brother be so unconventional? As the saying goes, one is a guest from afar. Now the ninth brother is the envoy to Zhengzhou, and the second brother is the vassal king of Zhengzhou. Although you and I are close relatives, the ninth brother is here. It’s considered a guest. As the landlord, the second brother should also invite the ninth brother. Besides, you and I are brothers, it’s not the same who invites the other?”
King Jing was smiling all over his face. He seemed to be more concerned about meeting Huang Qiong this time than the disadvantages of the war. The two days of failed siege did not affect his mood. He took Huang Qiong's hand affectionately and walked into the tent with Huang Qiong. Fan Dao and Liu Hu, who were behind Huang Qiong, saw the two of them being so hypocritical and looked at each other speechless.
Not to mention that it was the first time for the two of them to meet, they were good brothers. They had reached the point of fighting each other because of the conflict of interests. When they met, they were the second brother who was open-mouthed and silent, and the other who was full of talk about the ninth brother. However, in the eyes of Fan Dao and Liu Hu, the two people's cordial and warm terms for each other may not be half sincere.
If you don't know the inside story, just look at the performance of these two people. Who could have imagined that these two brothers and sisters would fight to the death on the battlefield yesterday for the city behind them, and no one would show any mercy. Even today's meeting probably went through countless calculations.
However, compared to Liu Hu, who was more simple-minded and just felt that the two people were being artificial and somewhat disgusting, Fan Dao felt a lot about this scene. What does it mean to be an old fox? These two people in front of you are really old foxes. Even though in his heart he wanted to strangle the other person directly, he was still affectionate and affectionate on the surface.
As the eldest son of the Fan family, Fan Dao, who has now begun to take over the Fan family's business, is no stranger to people in the officialdom. After all, the business is so big that it is impossible not to deal with people in the officialdom. So he also knows that all those officials are masters who hide their swords behind their smiles. No matter how affectionate the brothers are in front of each other, once there is a conflict of interest, they will never show mercy behind the scenes.
But like these two people today, yesterday they were there leading tens of thousands of people to fight against each other. Today, here they are holding hands, acting like brothers to outsiders like themselves. This is the first time Fan Dao has experienced this. The scene in front of him made this man, who was somewhat upright in his character, couldn't help but whisper to himself, are the children of the Tian family always scheming after they were born?
Of these two princes, one is only eighteen years old, and the other looks to be less than thirty years old. If I hadn't learned these things in my mother's womb, how could I be so skilled at this skill? Especially the King of England who is always smiling but not smiling, after this performance, he is much more cunning than the sixty-year-old old fox in his family.
Just when Fan Dao and Liu Hu expressed their silent criticism towards the two people in front of them. Opposite to King Jing, the envoy who entered the customs yesterday was also quietly looking at Huang Qiong and the two people around Huang Qiong. He didn't pay much attention to Liu Hu, who was dressed as a guard.
But his gaze stayed on Fan Dao's face for a while. This person clearly recognized Fan Dao's identity. As for this man's look, Fan Dao looked up calmly. The Fan family in Xiangyang is not Baishatang, and they don't have such scruples about King Jing who is basically a dead tiger now.
So what if that person is King Jing’s confidant? Without the support of King Jing, he is just a crab without pincers. When it comes to martial arts, the Fan family in Xiangyang has never been afraid of anyone. At this moment, Huang Qiong and King Jing had entered the tent, but they had no time to pay attention to what the people behind them were thinking. He even ignored Fan Dao and Fan Dao who were looking at each other lovingly behind them.
After sitting down with Huang Qiong and pouring a glass of wine for Huang Qiong himself, King Jing raised his glass and said: "Ninth brother has been at Hulao Pass for a few days. Brother Wei has not been able to pick up the wind for his ninth brother because he is involved in worldly affairs. This glass of wine is my elder brother's apology to my ninth brother. I just don't know if my ninth brother dares to drink this glass of wine."
Looking at the full wine glass in front of him, Huang Qiong smiled lightly and said, "I really don't dare to take what the second brother said. The second brother is the younger brother's brother. It's a great honor for the second brother to toast to the younger brother, but there's nothing wrong with it." Why do you dare to drink? With the kind of person my second brother is, I won’t use such dirty tricks." After that, he raised his glass and drank it down.
Seeing Huang Qiong draining the wine in the cup without hesitation, King Jing put his palms in his hands and laughed and said, "Jiu brother is really cheerful. People say that King Yong is the most generous person among our brothers. Today, when we meet Jiu Compared with my younger brother, he is far less powerful. If King Yong were here today, he would never dare to drink this glass of wine."
"Not only King Yong, but even if all our brothers are put together, the only one who dares to drink Second Brother's glass of wine now is Ninth Brother. With what Ninth Brother said after that, I am satisfied with you, Second Brother. At least among our brothers, there is one who has not avoided me, your second brother."
