I’m The King

He Lanxiong got off his horse, staggered, and almost fell to the ground. He Lanrui, who was guarding his tent, stepped forward and was able to hold him, "Patriarch, why did you drink so much wine?" He asked in a low voice.

"Go and get me a basin of cold water." He Lanxiong said, "By the way, call me the swallow."

"Yes, patriarch!"

Back in the big tent, he untied the scimitar and threw it at the corner of the tent. He Lanxiong sat down cross-legged, but he was thinking of the previous Gaoyuan proposal in his mind.

How to do? This is an opportunity to save the tribe, but at the same time, it is also a shackle, a noose around the neck. Once he has responded, he will no longer have the opportunity to develop independently, and will always be reduced to a lofty subordinate and a vassal of the Fufeng Army.

"Patriarch, the water is coming!" He Lanrui placed a basin of cold water in front of He Lanxiong. He Lanxiong suddenly buried his head and immersed his head in the basin. The cold water finally made him feel a little more sober and raised his head. Then, he looked at He Lanrui drippingly: "Where is the swallow?"

"Brother, it's too late, you're still up, why do you ask me to come over?" He Lanyan raised the curtain and walked in, looking at He Lanxiong's appearance, and said in surprise: "What are you doing? Make it like this?" Take a few steps, from While taking a cloth towel, he wrapped He Lanxiong's head and rubbed it vigorously. A strong alcohol smell made He Lanyan frown, "Why drink so much wine?"

"I'm with Gao Yuan at night!" He Lanxiong whispered.

"What? Going to the Curie Pass?" He Lanyan cried out in surprise, and suddenly jumped in front of He Lanxiong, almost overturning the water basin to the ground. "This guy is really annoying. He went to the Curie Pass in silence and couldn't even look at me?"

He Lanxiong raised his hand and waved, He Lanrui knowingly stepped forward and raised the water basin. Go outside.

"A Rui, go and inform the elders and let them all come to me."

"Yes, patriarch!"

With the curtain down, He Lanxiong looked at He Lanyan, "He is going to get married. I heard that the wedding date will be set on the first day of the new year. In Fufeng, Ye's ambassador has discussed all the details with Cao Tiancheng. It will not be long, Gao Yuan We are about to set off from Fufeng to meet his bride."

He Lanyan's head slowly dropped.

"Swallow!" He Lanxiong stretched out his hand with some worry. He gently stroked He Lanyan's long black hair. He Lanyan suddenly raised her head, with a smile on her face, "This is nothing, I already knew it, brother, why are you telling me this? You called me specifically because of this?"

If He Lanyan is sad, crying or even angry because of this, He Lanxiong will be more at ease. Seeing He Lanyan's usual expression at this time, he became even more uneasy.

"Are you OK?"

"What can I do!" He Lanyan's tone was very relaxed, "Brother, when he left Fufeng for Yuyang. He and I made it very clear. I know that there is no possibility between us. ."

"I hope you really let go!" He Lanxiong sighed. "You know. Did Gao Yuan talk to me about anything today?"

He Lanyan shook her head.

"He invited me to join the Fufeng Army!" He Lanxiong said, "I joined, not the previous alliance. Yanzi. What do you think about this matter?"

He Lanyan was silent for a moment, "Brother, you must be sad!"

"Yeah, I'm sad." He Lanxiong said: "When we formed an alliance with Gao Yuan, the strength of the two sides was similar. We were even stronger than him. But now, you see, in only two years, Gao Yuan is already big. General Yan’s Zhengdong, has thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, has sites in Fufeng and Chima counties, has a base for building weapons for him, such as Juliguan, and has a trading company that creates wealth for him. And what do we have now? We have become bereaved dogs now!"

There was sadness in He Lanxiong's voice.

"Brother!" He Lanyan moved to He Lanxiong's side and reached out to embrace one of his arms, "Brother, you don't have to belittle yourself. You are also a hero, but bad luck. Brother, now the chaos on the grassland is on the verge of danger. There are many, but it is not without the opportunity. Maybe we can use this opportunity to increase our strength. Brother, don’t you want to be a hero who unifies the grassland? Maybe, now is the opportunity. The big ones we couldn’t afford before The tribe, walk, decline and decline, it’s no longer the behemoth that it used to be."

He Lanxiong laughed miserably, "I used to think so too, but today’s conversation with Gao Yuan makes my heart completely cool. My sister, I will never succeed. The Central Plains countries will not tolerate the appearance of a powerful Huns. Whichever one is the best, which one is the target of their strikes, Gao Yuan said, even if it is him, he will also take the shot."

He Lanyan stayed at once, "Gao Yuan said, he will also take action? If this person is you, will he also take action?"

He Lanxiong said silently, after a long while, "The Wu clan understood this clearly, so he ran away, Yanzi, in the next time, which tribe has the will to replace the royal court and gather the Xiongnu tribe again, and they will welcome them. The fierce blow, no matter who it is!"

"They all want the Huns to keep chaos like this?" He Lanyan trembled.

"Yes, only if the Huns continue to chaos like this, will they not pose a threat to them." He Lanxiong closed his eyes and said.

"The patriarch, the elders are here!" He Lanrui's voice came from outside the tent.

He Lanxiong sat up straight, rubbed his face, "Please come in, elders."

Helankang, Helanjie, Helanmin and other Helan tribe elders filed in. In the past two years, as the Helan tribe got rid of the destiny that would perish at any time, their power was lost. He Lanxiong deprived him of cleanliness a little bit, and now it was purely an honorary title.

The lifeblood of Helan's survival, the army, was firmly controlled by Helanxiong.

"The patriarch!" A few people sat cross-legged under He Lanxiong's head. In the past two years, they have been so irritated by He Lanxiong.

"Now that we are in a situation, I believe everyone is clear. Where is the Helan Ministry going from now on? I don't know what the elders have?" He Lanxiong asked straightforwardly.

Several people glanced at each other, and they were all a little surprised. He Lankang coughed, "Aren't the patriarchs in charge in the past? Now, we naturally follow the patriarch's life."

The others nodded and said yes, "We will just say what the patriarch said."

"As long as there is a stuttering, we can safely herd sheep and cattle, we have no objection!"

He Lanxiong heard the sourness in the words and couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Everyone, let's be honest, our Helan tribe has reached a critical point of life and death. A wrong step will lead to the death of the whole family. At this moment, we should work together instead of pushing."

The three elders were silent for a moment, and He Lankang whispered: "Patriarch, can't we live here all the time? With the back of the Fufeng Army, there should be no problem in safety."

He Lankang opened his head, He Lanjie, and He Lanmin nodded again and again, and echoed: "This is reasonable. We will stay here. Now the grassland is in chaos. We now have only 500 cavalry left. If we rush into it, It will inevitably lead to annihilation of the clan. Today, Sentinel didn’t come back to report that even a tribe like Yiqu that is stronger than us, has now been annihilated?"

Looking at the three elders, He Lanxiong asked, "Have you ever thought about the Fufeng Army's obligation to protect us all the time? This is their territory. Can we stay here forever? Now the business route has been cut off. Financial resources, how do we live?"

He Lanmin looked at the few people in the house, and said, "Patriarch, didn't our two families have been united in the past? It's great, it's the same as before. We helped them fight the wind, and they provided us with land, food, grass, and ordnance. In the next year, my Helan Department can also recuperate and grow stronger."

"This method can be considered." Helankang and Helanjie immediately agreed, "Anyway, when we return to the grassland, we still have to fight, and we don't know whether we will win or lose. We can help the Fufeng army to fight, that is, we can have backup, no Lack of ordnance."

"Gao Yuan proposed to join, not to form an alliance!" He Lanxiong's low voice sounded in the tent, "What do you think about this, the elders?"

"Is there any difference? The left and right are just to help them fight!" Helan Kang said.

"Of course it's different. In alliance, we have a lot of independence, and joining, we will become part of the lofty East Army." He Lanxiong sighed, "We will lose our autonomy."

There was silence in the tent, and for a while, He Lanjie stood up, "Patriarch, with all due respect, I know your ambitions, but the current situation is also true. This road will not work at all. If you don’t agree The lofty request to join, I am afraid that we will have to leave the Curie Pass, but if we leave here, I am afraid that the lives of the whole family will be unsafe. For the sake of the whole Helan tribe, and for the old and weak women and children in this camp, I ask the patriarch for permission. Join the East Army."

Inside the Curie Pass~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Gao Yuan and Bai Yucheng still did not rest, instead they re-made a few dishes, sat down and had a drink, Bai Yucheng's alcohol volume was indeed amazing, first drank and got down Cao Tiancheng, and then Drinking with Gao Yuan again, never let the wind fall.

"General, He Lanxiong is different from me. He is an ambitious person. Will he join?" Bai Yucheng asked.

"Tiancheng has done a lot of work." Gao Yuan smiled, "Several elders in the Helan Department now have shares in Sihai Trade."

Bai Yucheng said in a speechless voice: "It turns out that the general has made arrangements for a long time."

"It's not about decorating. He Lanxiong doesn't have many choices. If he doesn't agree to join, he can only leave Curie Pass. He doesn't have that thick skin. After rejecting me, he stayed here. But leaving means. With the danger of Juju clan’s demise, I believe he will make the right choice."

"But if he is forced by the form to join, there may be repetitions in the future."

Gao Yuan laughed and toasted, "He is a fierce horse, but I am a better trainer, and with my military system of conquering the East, do you think he has a chance to repeat?" (to be continued. .)
