"Brother Duan! Nan Cheng has brought you another brother." The words came first before the adult Juqu arrived. Duan Ye opened the door and took a look. Sure enough, standing next to Nan Cheng was a young man of medium build and dressed in masculine clothes.
He is well dressed and has a scholarly look, making him look like a handsome man.
"This is..." Duan Ye had some doubts.
"Juqu Mengxun." The young man smiled slightly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "I have long heard Brother Nan talk about Brother Duan, and I am truly lucky to meet you today."
The male leader also said: "This is the most outstanding son of my young generation, Lu Shuihu, Juqu Mengxun! Mengxun, this is the most popular man around Jiexia now. He built a huge stone cannon and entered the army alone."
Duan from Kucha joins the army, you two should get closer to each other."
"Oh!" Duan Ye laughed, "Okay! Okay, it's Duan Ye's honor to see Brother Mengxun today. Come on! Please come in, ah."
Duan Ye invited the guests in with a smile, but he was muttering in his heart, should he pull out his dagger and chop Mengxun into pieces now?
For no other reason, in history, Comrade Duan Ye had his head chopped off by Juqu Mengxun himself! Nowadays, enemies are really on a narrow road. If Duan Ye didn't think that his killing ability was too poor, he would have raised the knife long ago.
"But didn't Brother Cheng go to Lianchuan Fort on official business? Why did he arrive in Qiuci at this time?" Duan Ye asked.
"Oh, Brother Duan, it's not wrong that I went to Lianchuan Fort. It was to meet Chief Wugu of the Bald Tribe on the orders of Lord Jie, that annoying bald brother. The matter is over.
I have to come to Qiuci for a banquet as soon as possible. Hey, I happened to meet Meng Xun, so I brought him to see you." The male said with a smile.
"So, Lai Tan is coming too?" Duan Ye was a little surprised.
"Isn't that right? Why wouldn't he come to join in the fun?" Nan Cheng said.
Duan Ye noticed that Juqu Mengxun's face looked a little unnatural every time he mentioned Latan, although he tried his best to hide it. Duan Ye sighed inwardly, it seemed that these two people were destined to be at odds.
The guest of honor sat down and after a few words of greetings, the male was still good at livening up the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Brother Duan, I have already taken Mengxun to see the huge stone cannon you made. Tsk tsk, after so many years, the male adult has made me
I have never seen Monson convince anyone, but this time, Monson really convinced you."
"Hahaha, what a trivial skill, nothing worth mentioning." Duan Ye waved his hands and smiled, looking very humble.
"No." Meng Xun closed the folding fan in his hand, "Brother Duan, you know that on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyesight and can take the lives of the enemy. Saving the lives of your own soldiers is a great merit! Meng Xun went to see the huge stone cannon.
, The design is exquisite, the workmanship is simple, and it can be mass-produced. It is really a weapon for siege. Brother Duan can be famous in history just by inventing such a weapon, so why should he be modest?"
Duan Ye shook his head and said: "Duan Ye believes that the essence of the world lies in Tao, not skills. With a weapon in hand, it is possible to plan for a while, but it cannot be planned for a lifetime. In the past, when Ying Zheng ruled the world,
Who can compete with the army? However, his death lasted only a year. Chen defeated Wu Guang and was just a gangster. However, Daze Township rose up and the world responded. Qin Dynasty died in three years. Isn't his weapon advanced? Is it possible that his weapons are not advanced?
Aren't the soldiers elite? But if they lose the support of the people and the way of heaven, they will always fall like a building. Who can save them?"
"Come on!" Mengxun slapped his palm with his fan, "Brother Duan's words really touched my heart. But what does Brother Duan think about the current trend of the world? Who can understand it?"
Duan Ye cursed in his heart, why did this grandson come in and try to trick me? Looking at the male adult, he didn't participate in these discussions at all. He was drinking tea there happily. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how could such an honest child be so calculating?
You cunning brother.
Seeing Juqu Mengxun looking at him with piercing eyes, his expression half-smiling but not smiling, Duan Ye sorted out his thoughts and said: "The general trend of the world is not something that a humble person like Duan Ye can speculate on, but if Duan Ye wants to come,
Duan Ye’s views are probably basically similar to Mengxun’s.”
"Oh?" Mengxun became interested, "Brother Duan, what do you think Mengxun would think?"
"Duan Ye is not a roundworm in Brother Mengxun's belly. Naturally, I don't know what you think. However, Duan Ye has some knowledge of physiognomy, but he knows that Brother Mengxun may want to do something big or bad, and he must do something bad."
Doing bad things in the name of good things!"
"Hahahaha!" Mengxun clapped his hands and laughed, "The one who knows me is Brother Duan!"
Duan Ye also laughed with him, but even though the two of them laughed and looked at each other, they suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other. No wonder some people say that the person who knows a person best is not his friends, nor his parents, nor himself.
, but his enemy!
The male adult put down the tea cup in confusion, "What are you two talking about?"
The time for the dinner was coming soon. Since Mengxun and Nancheng had already arrived, Duan Ye had nothing else to do for the time being, so the three of them decided to go to Qiuci Palace together, and they could chat a few words on the way.
When they were at Duan Ye's place just now, Mengxun and Duan Ye were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. They talked about everything from astronomy to geography, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine to divination and astrology. Duan Ye had a wide range of knowledge about Mengxun, even though they had known each other for a long time.
I was mentally prepared, but I was still surprised when we actually started talking. Needless to say, Mengxun had always had a higher eye than his head. Now that he saw this person who was so praised by his brother, he seemed to have a lot of skills, and he couldn't help but respect him.
But after they left the house, Duan Ye and Nan Cheng were chatting more happily. Nan Cheng was actually very interested in all kinds of anecdotes and gossips, and he told them eloquently, such as the princes of Mr. Jie Xia and Liang Xi, the governor of Liangzhou.
The story about the master and his concubine was told. The men were all well-connected, and Duan Ye happened to like to hear these stories, so he listened to them with gusto. Mengxun occasionally interjected a few words at the right time, adding fuel to the fire and complimenting him, so
The three of them laughed from time to time. Fortunately, the identities of the three of them were basically known to the soldiers on the road, so they didn't dare to care.
Due to the short distance, these few were not guests, so the three of them walked away. Duan Ye and Mengxun were both dressed as scholars and looked elegant, looking like a good young man from a troubled world.
He was wearing cowhide armor and his hair was tied into braids and spread out. He looked like a fierce military commander. On Qiuci Street, at the semi-forced request of Lu Guang’s army, some shops were already open, and there were also a few pedestrians. Compared with the previous days,
Finally got some life.
The three of them were chatting happily, but they heard someone shouting from behind, "Is that Brother Duan in front of you?"
The three of them turned back together, but Duan Ye found that there was a man and a woman behind them, just like a couple. The man was already an old acquaintance, and he was the annoying Lai Tan just now.
