He was suddenly startled.
Xue Yun suddenly raised his eyebrows, looking at the other person with meaningful eyes.
As the saying goes, the hardest thing to repay is a debt of gratitude...
I'd rather owe someone ten thousand taels of gold. It's great that brothers can settle accounts, but once you owe someone a favor, it's even harder to pay it off.
not to mention.
The other party is also the city lord of a prince in the Great Xia Empire, and the power and influence in his hands are evident.
"I believe that the Protector should also know..."
Narrow your eyes.
Zhong Lizhan looked calm and said bluntly: "The Daxia royal family is now making every possible effort to make things difficult for the princes from all over the world, and they even dream of taking back the power in our hands. Although you are the protector of the country, you are actually a member of the Longdu lineage. .”
The two people's eyes were sharp, and when their eyes met, there seemed to be inexplicable lightning flashes.
"excuse me."
Zhongli Chan's eyes were as bright as a torch and he reminded him: "One day, there will be a battle between the Daxia royal family and the princes from all over the world!"
"'Dog City' is far away from the Imperial City, and the Xuanyuan clan may not have time to deal with us, but Longdu is located in the hinterland of Daxia, and has always been a battleground for military strategists. When the war breaks out, various forces are crisscrossed, and Longdu is Du's life will definitely not be easy."
Close your eyes.
Xue Yun knew that what the other party said was not alarmist. Judging from the current situation of the Daxia Empire, the final situation is likely to develop in this direction.
"Lord Zhongli, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
Let out a long sigh.
Xue Yun looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was already worried about Longdu's future prospects.
Facing the powerful Xuanyuan royal family and a group of separatist warlords who are like jackals, tigers and leopards, it is still unclear whether the weak Longdu can withstand the pressure of the storm.
"What I mean is already very clear."
Seeing that the time is ripe.
Zhongli Chan no longer looked around and said: "You help me drive away the madmen from the Aisha Principality. When the world is in chaos in the future, our "Dog City" will form a blood-sharing alliance with your "Dragon City" from now on. , even if I am thousands of miles away, whenever I, Zhongli, need my help, I will never refuse!"
There was a pause.
As if he was afraid that Xue Yun would have any scruples, Zhong Lizhan grinned and continued: "The Protector does not need to worry that I will not keep my promise. Just do this. I will betroth my daughter to you. After we become a family, we will not Let’s talk about two more things…”
"how?!"
Phew~~~~
After hearing this, Xue Yun, who was tasting the wine, opened his mouth and spit out the wine.
This move immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"it's okay no problem......"
Raised his hand.
Xue Yun's face was livid, and he quickly explained: "The wine you have here is too strong, and I accidentally choked my throat. Please continue drinking so that you can ignore me..."
See this.
Although everyone had some doubts in their hearts, they didn't think much about it and immediately turned around and continued to have fun.
After the maid on the side cleaned up, Xue Yun lowered his eyelids and looked at Zhong Lizhan.
"Brother, aren't you kidding me..."
The forehead is covered with black lines.
Xue Yun looked helpless and complained softly: "Cooperation is cooperation, and when we talk about business, we talk about business properly. You'd better just want to be my father-in-law. Where can I go to reason with you?"
"how?"
Narrow your eyes.
Zhongli Chan raised his chin and asked, "Does the Protector think that the women of my Zhongli family can't compare with you?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
I was so embarrassed that I was petrified on the spot.
Xue Yun was speechless for a moment, feeling that if this matter continued, it would only get darker and darker.
"In short, I don't want to get married or have children now, so I can just lie down!"
"Lie down...what does it mean?" Zhong Lizhan asked confused.
The corner of his mouth twitched silently.
Xue Yun rolled his eyes and was too lazy to explain any more.
To this day, he still doesn't understand why there are always people thinking about his life-long event.
I'll fuck your brother-in-law...
I'm not Tang Seng, so how can I provoke all kinds of monsters and ghosts to propose marriage? Damn it!
"If the Lord Protector doesn't want to, let's not talk about it for now."
Seeing Xue Yun's troubled look, Zhong Lizhan couldn't force him, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "In that case, regarding the alliance, how can you trust my sincerity?"
Lifting his chin, Xue Yun couldn't help but think for a long time.
To be fair——
Helping Zhong Lizhan repel the Aisha Principality's army, and then gaining the friendship of the entire "Dog City" to help each other in future chaos will indeed be of great benefit to Longdu.
At least.
Having one more ally is always a hundred times better than having one more deliberate potential threat.
"Simple."
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
Xue Yun grinned and said: "If you want to form a solid alliance, you don't have to use anti-human methods like making peace. We are all decent people, not uncivilized barbarians..."
Zhong Lizhan in front of him pricked up his ears, very curious about what the other party would have to say.
"As the saying goes, good brothers should be loyal..."
Extend your index finger.
Xue Yun said seriously: "Actually, you and I can become sworn brothers with different surnames. Let's kill a chicken tonight, burn some yellow paper, and swear to God that from now on we will share the same hatred and will never be at odds with each other!"
His eyes suddenly widened.
The corners of Zhong Lizhan's mouth slowly raised, and he couldn't help but laugh: "That's great, let's do it!"
next moment--
Zhong Lizhan stood up suddenly and announced the matter to everyone in public without any hesitation.
A group of powerful people in the fortress city were completely dumbfounded. After they realized what they were doing, they quickly began to congratulate the two of them.
In fact, they all know it very well.
From this moment on, the fates of the two fortress cities, Ryūdu and Inujo, have been bound together.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
"No..."
There was still a piece of unchewed roast meat in his mouth.
Tong Mao'er couldn't help but be stunned and muttered vaguely: "This man named Xue and his adoptive father have become brothers with different surnames. In terms of seniority, shouldn't I call him uncle in the future?!"
He was stunned for a moment.
Xie Anbang, who was on the side, let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Unlike the upright childish man, he has already understood the underlying logic of this matter as he is well versed in human behavior.
The reason why the two sides formed an alliance is not only the general trend, but also the best choice that is beneficial to everyone.
Only Zhong Limei in the corner, after being stunned for a long time, his expression became a little lonely.
Also drinking wine, there was even a bit of crystal clear moisture in the corners of the girl's eyes.
have to say.
Zhong Lizhan was very efficient in his work. After announcing the matter, he immediately ordered people to prepare rooster yellow paper.
The two imitated the ancient custom and knelt down in public before the candlelight.
He killed the chicken and dripped blood, read out the oath of sworn vows loudly, and then raised his head and drank the blood wine in the bowl in one gulp.
"game over......"
The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch silently.
Tong Mao'er's immature face was full of sadness, and he lamented with a sad face: "I suddenly have an uncle, I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future..."
