Qiang Dao Camp.

After receiving the reply from the Governor Huo Jun, Zhao Tong relaxed a little bit of his nervousness towards the various Cao troops secretly assembled in Longxi County.

He didn't look nervous.

In addition to being extremely prepared for the defense of the border, he was waiting for the reinforcements sent by Shimonoseki.

On the other hand, they were still sending out spies to hide around the royal court.

Whenever there is any abnormality, report back immediately.

Everyone is paying close attention to the physical changes of King Shenlang Lao Qiang.

…

In the royal court room.

In the king's tent.

On this day, the old Qiang King looked so thin because he had not eaten much for many days.

He sat on the bed, seemingly having many things to say in his mind but not knowing where to start. After sitting there for a long time, he waved his hand gently:

"You should retreat for a while. I have some important matters to discuss with the two princes."

As soon as he said this, all the ministers in the tent looked at the old Qiang King and stared at them closely and said, and they couldn't help but look at each other for a moment.

He simply focused his gaze on Prince Ni.

It seemed that he saw some sharpness in his father's eyes.

Prince Ni felt a knot in his heart and had an ominous premonition.

He then gestured calmly with his eyes.

All the ministers just left one after another.

Unexpectedly, the old Qiang King's eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he had already seen everything through these subtle actions.

However, the sharpness in his eyes only flashed past, and in a blink of an eye, they returned to their original state without showing anything.

He saw that most of the ministers in the tent had been won over by the eldest prince.

There are very few factions that remain neutral.

But at the same time, he also knew that his body was exhausted.

He has no experience in getting involved in this matter anymore.

I have no choice but to let it be!

Wait for the ministers and concubines to retreat one after another.

Only Ni Da and the second prince were left in the royal tent.

The old Qiang King just stood up and tried to walk towards the royal robe with a white wolf crown inlaid on one side and a wolf totem engraved on it, revealing his domineering look.

When Erzi saw this, he quickly prepared to go and help him.

But who would have expected that King Lao Qiang suddenly had a serious look on his face, pushed the two of them away, and said sternly:

"Although my father is very old, he is not yet in need of support."

After that, he walked slowly towards the hanging royal robe.

It seemed so strenuous.

When the two sons saw it, they couldn't help but be a little confused for a moment.

I don't know what my father intended by doing this.

The next second, I saw the old Qiang King staring closely at the robe for a long time, as if he was reminiscing about something.

After a while, he finally picked up the heavy royal robe with difficulty and held it with both hands, which was quite difficult.

"Oh, I can't do it if I don't accept it!"

Seeing the royal robe that I could lift with one hand in the past, it was now difficult for my hands to bear it, and I couldn't help but lament the wasted time.

Following that, he slowly put it on.

After most of the effort.

The old Qiang king wore a royal robe and a crown on his head.

Although his body became increasingly weak at this time, his face became thinner, and he lost his former charm.

But his temperament is also a bit more formidable than before.

He walked closer to the bronze mirror and took a look, his face showed a rather satisfied smile, and then he looked again in the direction where the two sons were standing, and said in a deep voice:

"This royal robe was worn by my father when he was on the battlefield, and it has been for decades."

"Even though my father is old and frail now, he doesn't want to die in bed."

"A good man should face death resolutely."

"I, Shenlang Qiang'erlang, am not afraid of death."

After saying this, King Lao Qiang returned to the bed, looked at the two of them, and his tone became stern unconsciously, and said:

"After a hundred years of being a father, Shenlang Qiang will definitely be led by one of you two."

"As for who will inherit the throne, my father has no control over this matter. I can only rely on my own ability."

"But no matter which one of you ascends the throne, please remember one thing. I am a warrior in the Langqiang style, and my will to never compromise is absolutely indelible!"

"Have you ever remembered?"

The words are as heart-breaking as the words are shocking.

Ni Da and the second prince saw their father suddenly showing such a stern expression, and they did not dare to make the slightest unnecessary move.

All of them stood on one side with trepidation and uneasy expressions on their faces, listening quietly.

"Kid, I remember."

"But please rest assured, father, no matter who orders the whole clan in the future, my child will do his best to help, and we will never allow outsiders to underestimate our clan!"

Only then did these words fall.

The two of them knelt down and raised their hands in unison.

There was a strong look of perseverance on his face.

He also uttered heroic words in his words asking brothers to work together to protect the whole clan.

As the father of two people, I have already known their personalities very well over the years!

In fact, the two of them had secretly accumulated power and made various preparations to compete for the throne in the future.

The old Qiang king saw it carefully in his eyes.

Hearing the two men saying that brothers work together to protect the whole clan, he just smiled slightly, but didn't take it seriously.

After pondering for a while, he slowly said: "As a father, I have no control over this matter. I just said that who can successfully ascend the throne depends on your own ability."

"As long as the successor can continue to protect the peace of the whole clan, strengthen the clan, and not lose the prestige of our Shenlangqiang, my father will be content even if he is under the Nine Springs!"

That's it.

King Lao Qiang emphasized, and then the look on his face slowly faded away.

After a moment, he continued in a softer tone: "Okay!"

"Next, my father would like to emphasize an extremely important matter."

"This is related to the peace of my Shenlangqiang in the future."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them suddenly noticed an extremely solemn look on their father's face.

Both of them solemnly raised their hands to each other and asked, "May I ask, father, what is it?"

"Our current territory of Shenlang Qiang is basically located southwest of Qiang Road."

"And due to the expansion of the Liu family in Shu, Wudu, especially around the Qiang Road, has almost become a war buffer zone. Cao and Liu have continued to have disputes in Liangzhou."

"Formerly, the Qiang Taoist leader Zhao Tong personally came to the royal court and asked to send troops to help his father to fight against the Cao family."

"Although my father eventually sent sergeants and wolf warriors to assist, in the end it was the bravery and bravery of this Han general that exceeded our expectations."

"Even though my father sent soldiers to assist, Cao's army that invaded the Qiang Road was forced to retreat."

"After the war, my father also completely closed the access to the royal court and surrounding tribes to prevent any further contact with the Shu army."

"Do you know why a father has to be so low-key?"

The words came to an end.

The two princes were a little confused for a moment.

I don’t know why my father suddenly mentioned this matter.

"Father, please give me some instructions!"
