The aroma of strong liquor and barbecue mixed together, drifting far away in the cold wind.
Two men with completely different temperaments were sitting on a hillside, with a fire between them, relatively silent, or perhaps, waiting for the other to speak.
"I haven't seen you for six years, but you have changed a lot." Hu Sandao was defeated first, his voice seemed to be filled with emotion in the cold wind.
Ning Guang took a sip of wine and said, "Same for you."
There is a bit more depth than before, and that kind of hidden sharpness, if you don't know him well, you won't be able to detect it at all. Hu Sandao used to be vigorous and competitive, but now he is quite restrained, but among other things
The secretly hidden strength cannot be concealed at all costs.
It’s not just Ning Guang who feels this way, but also Hu Sandao. If Ning Guang used to be an unsheathed sword with sharp edges, now his sharpness is deep but hard to detect.
His depth and magnanimity alone make people fear him.
However, while Hu Sandao was frightened, he also felt a little excited. He had known Ning Guang for more than ten years, fought side by side, and had grudges for many years. They cherished each other, from rivals to brothers to superior-subordinate relationships. In fact, he had always been with him.
Ning Guang competes with each other, but unfortunately, he will always be the second best.
Hu Sandao really wanted to compete happily with Ning Guang. He wanted to prove to everyone that apart from his background, he was no worse than Ning Guang.
"I thought you would be completely silent. Obviously, I was mistaken. You are always Ning Guang. As long as this country is in trouble, you are willing to sacrifice everything, including your life." Hu Sandao said sarcastically.
"So, you're going to force me to come back?" Ning Guang's eyes swept over him with sharp eyes.
Hu Sandao chuckled: "That's true. You know, a battle without an opponent is very boring and lonely."
"Hu Sandao!" Ning Guang's voice suddenly rose, and he said angrily: "Just to force me to come back, you treat the hundreds of thousands of people in Mobei as ants and are willing to form an alliance with the Northern Kingdom? You are also a native of Qi, how can you be so heartless and crazy?
?”
"Are you from the Qi State? You and I have been born and died together. We eat the same food, kill the same enemies, and make the same number of enemies. Why is there such a disparity in status? Why are we lower than you? Just because of my birth, the Emperor of Qi regards me as Qi.
People from the country?" Hu Sandao said sarcastically: "Only you, the rich and powerful, are the people of Qi, huh!"
"So you are willing to be a traitor, associate with the Tatars, ally with the Northern Kingdom, and treat the people on our border as child's play?" Ning Guang said coldly: "For your own selfish desires, how many people have been displaced, their families have been destroyed, and they have no food to eat? Hu
San Dao, where did your lofty ideals go? Just to win me, you are willing to be a traitor that is despised by thousands of people and abandoned by thousands of people!"
"How can you understand?" Hu Sandao's voice became shrill as he said, "You are of noble birth and have accumulated many military exploits. How can you understand what it feels like to always be submissive to others and look up at their breath?"
"That's right, the Tartar general who protects the country, I think over the years, you have also enjoyed the feeling of being a most powerful minister, inferior to ten thousand people." Ning Guang showed a hint of ridicule, but it was a bit desolate and tragic.
"That's right, over there on the grassland, I get rain when I want, wind when I want, and enjoy endless glory, wealth, and beauty. No one laughs at me for being the second general. There, I am the first warrior." Hu Sandao
The slender eyes sparkled in the firelight, a little red and crazy.
"In this case, how can you still collude with the Northern Kingdom? Man Fanzi has given you all the glory and glory you want, and you can enjoy it. How can you still collude with the Northern Kingdom?"
Hu Sandao took a sip of wine, looked at the dark night sky, and said: "Why? Ning Guang, if you sit in a high position for a long time, you will inevitably become lonely. I said, without the opponent in chess, any battle will become boring.
Just think of me as lonely."
Ning Guang wanted to slap him to death. Just because of his loneliness, he put the people in misery. How innocent the people were? How cruel and selfish Hu Sandao was!
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "San'er, look back. As long as you look back, I won't pursue the past matters."
Hu Sandao laughed heartily, with tears even coming from the corners of his eyes, and said: "Look back? Did I hear you right? What escape route do I have?" He changed the topic and said in a sharp voice: "It's me.
Looking back, what are you going to use to sacrifice those three thousand Ning family troops? Are you worthy of their heroic souls? Do you think if they heard it, would they be so angry that they would jump out of the ground? Haha."
"Hu Sandao, don't try to challenge my bottom line." Ning Guang shouted suddenly, and the veins on his forehead stood out, as if he was suppressing great anger.
"Ning Guang, don't deceive yourself. I can't go back at all. We all know that we can't go back to the past a long time ago." Hu Sandao gradually stopped laughing, his voice became a little hollow, and said in the night sky: "We are here
A war is unavoidable, and it can only be seen on the battlefield."
Ning Guang looked at him steadily and said, "Are you sure that I won't kill you?"
"I know you can. In fact, I've never been afraid since I could come." Hu Sandao curled his lips and said softly: "But Ning Guang, can you? As you know I won't intoxicate you with wine.
The poison is the same, and I know equally well that you will not kill me here, at least not just like this, because we are the same kind of people."
Ning Guang was silent.
The same type of people, yes, they are the same type of people, even if their personalities are completely different, even if they take different paths, there is no doubt that they are indeed the same type of people, with the same pride and disdain for selfish means.
Hu Sandao stood up. Tietou, who was looking far away, became nervous and his hand holding the scabbard was covered in honey sweat.
"I heard you were engaged."
Ning Guang's face sank and he looked at him with a strong warning.
Hu Sandao smiled and said, "It seems you are very nervous, girl."
Ning Guang remained silent and stared at him with sharp eyes, as if to say, if you dare to touch her even a hair, I will make your life worse than death.
Hu Sandao raised his lips and smiled, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, I won't use that despicable method to threaten her. I said that if I want to have a real competition with you, it depends on life or death.
Destiny." He suddenly changed the topic and said: "It's just that it's taboo to show your weakness in front of others. If I don't do it, it doesn't mean that others won't do it. You can do it yourself."
He had something to say, and Ning Guang's pupils narrowed slightly and he said, "Did you reveal this news?"
"If I can find out, Yale can also find out." Hu Sandao lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "Yale is extremely cruel. If your little fiancée falls into his hands, haha."
After Ning Guang heard this, his murderous aura suddenly radiated out as if he didn't need money, and his murderous intention was fully realized.
Yale is the protector general of the Northern Kingdom. He is ferocious in nature, brave and good at fighting. He is the direct cousin of the second prince of the Northern Kingdom.
Hu Sandao suddenly took two steps closer and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Yale likes to play with pedophiles the most and is also the drunkest. I heard that the eldest prince of the North has always been dissatisfied with him and intends to let his subordinate Chong Guang
Trying to replace it, this fight for the throne is just a conspiracy, I'm really upset."
Ning Guang's eyes flashed, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "Why are you telling me this?"
It is really taboo to inform the alliance about the situation. The information Hu Sandao sent was simply in vain.
"Think of it as my wedding gift to you." Hu Sandao's eyes flashed slightly and he said hehe: "I said that I want to have a real competition with you. Since it is a battle between me and you, naturally I will not tolerate others.
Pointing fingers."
Ning Guang looked at him intently, trying to tell the truth from his eyes. Hu Sandao kept smiling. Ning Guang suddenly felt that he could no longer see through this good brother who had been through life and death for many years!
Hu Sandao slowly took a few steps back, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and said: "Farewell, goodbye, we are sworn enemies, and we will fight to the death. Brother, if you win this pot of turbid wine, this is
I offer you the wedding wine, because I can’t see you getting married. If you lose, haha, I will prepare a pot of bamboo leaf green for you every year during the Lantern Festival."
Ning Guang clasped his hands hanging by his side, raised his own bottle of wine, and said, "Thank you!"
The two of them touched each other in the air, drank the wine in the jug, and smashed the empty jug on the stone beside them.
Two crisp bangs pierced the sky, as if they were declaring war on each other.
Hu Sandao laughed loudly, turned around and walked back to the road, chanting: "The wine in the gold basin is fragrant with bamboo leaves. Ten cups and five cups will be incomprehensible. After a hundred cups, I will start to go crazy. Every time I drink, I will be more energetic. Ning
Guang, see you on the battlefield!"
His figure slowly disappeared into the darkness, and finally became silent. Ning Guang stood in the wind for a long time, and did not wake up completely until the iron head came up.
"Marshal, why don't you kill this traitor?" Tietou was a little aggrieved. Why didn't he take action at this great opportunity?
"Do you think he really came here alone?" Ning Guang glanced at him lightly, pursed his lips in the direction where Hu Sandao retreated, and said: "There are at least three auras hidden there."
Tietou's pupils suddenly shrank and said: "You mean."
Ning Guang nodded and said: "When it comes to real action, we are no match. Let's go back and gather the generals. I want to see all the information about the royal court battle in the main city of the North before tomorrow's official time. Also, pick a good charmer.
Come here, the waiter, preferably young, and bring me the best wine in Qi."
Yale, if you love pedophilia and drink, then you will be drunk and dreaming!
Su Liu, who was far away in Qingzhou, had no idea that she was in danger. She was whispering to Cao Mingzhu when suddenly, Su Xiao and Song Ying came running happily.
"Sister, Sister Mingzhu, great news, great news!" Su Xiaoxiao's voice was high and excited: "Mom agreed to Uncle Cao's proposal of marriage!"
Su Liu and Cao Mingzhu looked at each other, blinked, smiled, and walked away hand in hand: "Let's go and have a look."
The clouds are opening and the moon is bright, and finally a new happy event is coming. This Lantern Festival, although that person is missing, is still complete in the end!
