The smile on Kunzhong's face faded and he no longer respected Xue Lin. He picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in one gulp. Obviously, Xue Lin's refusal to drink the toast made him a little annoyed. After all, he had been the king of a country for a long time, how could he easily allow others to be so... presumptuous in front of him. However, Xue Lin sat down with a solemn face, but his whole body was full of momentum, not weak at all. "Why did Zanpu invite me to see you? If Zanpu is just delaying time, then I'll forgive you for not being able to accompany him." Kunzhong finished drinking and looked at Xue Lin, who was silent for a long time. Xue Lin was about to show off. "Wait a minute, Governor Xue!" Kunzhong hurriedly laughed again, "I invite Governor Xue to come. Naturally, I am sincere and we have important matters to discuss." Xue Lin sat back for the time being, but she frowned and looked at him with a hint of impatience, clearly telling him to speak "important things" quickly. Kun Zhong thought for a while and said with a smile, "Since Governor Xue refuses to drink, I won't go into details anymore. Let's open the sky and speak openly. Over the years, almost all the military and political affairs of the Fourteen Prefectures in Anxi have been in the hands of the Governor. Now, The Central Plains court has too much time to take care of itself. Even if Anxi is facing a strong enemy now, they sit back and do nothing. There is a saying in the Central Plains, if you are called unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust. If this is the case, why should Governor Xue be willing to be subordinate to others and guard the Central Plains court? At the northwest gate? How about you and I cooperate and share the fourteen states of Anxi?" Xue Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Zanpu is so loud! You and I share the fourteen states of Anxi? Don't say anything else, you might as well ask Hulu Khan if he agrees?" "If you and I join forces, what can he do even if he doesn't agree?" Kun Zhong had an arrogant look on his face. Xue Lin's slender fingers with clear knuckles tapped irregularly on the cases twice, "Didn't Zanpu already have an alliance with Hulu Khan? Beidi is not easy to deal with such a breach of trust." "As I said before, if you and I join forces, even if Beidi is a fierce tiger, it can only lie down. As for the alliance... Who is it determined to be with? I really can't bear to watch the war raging and the people of several countries being displaced! "Kunzhong sighed.
Xue Lin slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "With all due respect, Beidi is much stronger than Tubo. If we want to cooperate, how can Zanpu be sure that I will choose you over Beidi? What if I were Joining forces with Beidi, not to mention the Fourteen Prefectures of Anxi, can even capture the entire Central Plains, so why not?" Xue Lin's face was expressionless and his tone was indifferent, but the words he spoke were filled with great power. The expression on Kun Zhong's face changed slightly, but he held on, "Admiral Xue is a smart man and would not do anything like seeking skin from a tiger. What's more, your Anxi Army has been fighting with Beidi for a long time, and your hatred is very deep. , even if it is for profit, how can we easily shake hands and make peace? On the contrary, I, Tubo, have many confrontations with the Anxi Army, but there are very few actual battles, and there is no deep hatred. Our strength is better than Since Anxi is a little weaker, Governor Xue does not have to worry about seeking skin from the tiger. Instead, it is against Beidi. You and I can rely on each other, and we can form an arm's length relationship with Beidi, so that the west will be completely peaceful, and the people of the three sides will be at peace. They all need to recuperate.” Xue Lin raised his hand and clapped his hands a few times, "Zan Pu really has a powerful mouth. Not only does he speak fluent Mandarin, he may even have learned all the art of vertical and horizontal manipulation in the Central Plains. I I'm almost convinced." Before the smile on Kunzhong's face could spread, he came back to his senses, almost? When he looked at Xue Lin again, his expression became a little stiff. "It's just a pity. Zanpu can break his promise to Master Di today. Who knows that he won't break the covenant between you and me in the future? So, I'm really sorry. Xue really doesn't dare to associate with people like Zanpu." Xue Lin After saying that, he patted the hem of his robe, stood up, and prepared to leave. "Don't worry, Governor Xue. You are my king's bedfellow. Speaking of which, you are a family member, so how can you be the same as Master Di? You can put your heart back in your stomach." Xue Lin suddenly turned to look at Kunzhong, with a slight curl of his lips, "I just praised Zampu for his deep understanding of the Central Plains culture, why did he make a mistake now? This is not how the east bed is used." Kun Zhong's momentary panic had disappeared. At this time, he looked calm and smiled calmly at Xue Lin, "I am not wrong. Since Governor Xue has doubts, I will make it clearer. You Your wife is my king’s daughter, so you, Governor Xue, are my queen’s soon-to-be son-in-law, aren’t you?” The corners of Xue Lin's mouth slowly flattened and tightened, and the sharp light in the depths of his eyes suddenly condensed, "I'm afraid Zanpu is confused. My wife is the daughter of King Jiyang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am the Yun'an County entrusted by His Majesty. Lord, how could she be your daughter? I hope Zanpu will be careful about what she says." "Does Governor Xue think that this king will just recognize his daughter everywhere? Your wife is indeed my biological daughter. I traveled in the Central Plains and had an old relationship with Princess Jiyang. Later, she married Prince Jiyang, and the two of us But there was a conflict, and she returned to Jiannan, and we met again at that time. Later, we got your wife. Although she has the title of Princess of Dazhou, she is indeed my princess of Tubo. If this matter spreads out, , it is not good for their mother and daughter, so I have kept silent. If you really don’t believe me, I will not tell you about this. Right now, your wife is in Wangjing, right? Think about it, if this is the case What will happen if her life experience is exposed?" Kunzhong looked like he was thinking about them and he was very embarrassed. Xue Lin's eyes were filled with cold determination, "This matter is of great importance. I can't believe it without Zamp's empty words." "If you don't believe it, you can ask your cheap father-in-law and mother-in-law. They know better." Kunzhong looked like an old man, "This matter has been covered up tightly, but if I hadn't known that your wife was My child, during the battle at Jiannanguan ten years ago, how could our Tubo army retreat? No wonder, Jiannan Road today is already my Tubo territory. Even if Governor Xue did not know the truth back then, he must have heard of this battle. , I, Tubo, have clearly taken the lead. At that time, Anxi was in chaos due to the death of the former governor, and they were too busy to take care of themselves. Your court has been shrinking. If I go further, it will be easy. Why do you suddenly retreat? You just Never thought there might be an inside story involved?" "In the final analysis, blood is thicker than water. Gao Jie was willing to let go of his granddaughter who had been with him for several years, but I couldn't let go of my own flesh and blood. They threatened her life, so I had to withdraw. Originally, the child also She stayed with me in Yalong for a while, but she still couldn't let go of her heart and became thinner day by day. I had no choice but to send her back to Dazhou, and for her sake, I kept the matter tightly covered. I am afraid that it will affect her in the slightest. But in these years, I have never forgotten her. When I learned that she had married in Anxi and was so close to her, I felt happy, thinking that one day our father and daughter would meet each other one day. " "So, Zanpu and Master Di came to the city together just to see the daughter you talk about? Zanpu, forgive Xue for speaking bluntly, you keep saying that my wife is your daughter, but until now, when it comes to her, you are either 'you' Madam, it's either her, why, doesn't she have a name? Or does Zanpu know nothing about his daughter's name?" Xue Lin sneered coldly.
