Outside the tent of Xiang’s army, Xiang Bo trotted all the way to a temporary resting place.
He saw Zhao Lang standing there with his men, and when he saw him running over, he even took a few steps forward to welcome him, saying
“Brother Xiang, take it slow, take care of your health!”
Where did Bo Xiang care about this, he ran directly to Zhao Lang.
The two of them shook hands on all fours, and before Xiang Bo could speak, he heard Zhao Lang say with extreme concern that
“After a few months’ absence, you have lost weight again, you seem to have suffered again these days.”
Hearing these words, Xiang Bo only felt his nose sore, his eyes warmed, and his heart stirred.
Don’t ever only care about how well he did his job, whether he had a high ranking marquis or not.
Even his two nephews were now unenthusiastic towards him, and from time to time they still pressed him with their positions in the army.
Although he was the uncle, he did not even have a bit of face.
Only Brother Zhao, who only met him, cared whether he was tired or not, and could see that he had lost weight.
But hadn’t he, the three layers of flesh that used to be on his stomach were now only two layers, and had he ever been so aggrieved?
He could not help but feel sad for a while and said.
“Brother Zhao, it’s been a few months since we left each other, I miss you so much!”
Zhao Lang comforted him for a while before Xiang Bo calmed down, and then said that
“Brother Zhao, come on, follow me to the camp for a detailed chat, I’ll have someone prepare some wine and food.”
Zhao Lang said in a hurry.
“Ai, no no, Brother Xiang, although you and I are brothers, after all, I still have some fights with Duke Xiang and the others.”
“It’s not good for me to go in this supply wagon and grain heavy area.”
Xiang Bo said, with a glare in his eyes as he heard
“Brother Zhao, what are you talking about, we are just brothers talking to each other, what’s in the way of that?”
“Come with me! I’ll see who dares to talk nonsense!”
“Even if Yu’er is here, he can’t stop me from talking to Brother Xiang!”
Zhao Lang gave a bitter laugh at this time and advised that
“Brother Xiang, it’s because of this that I can’t go all the more!”
“Lord Xiang is also a heroic figure, and is the great general of the Xiang clan, an existence that can be a king and a hegemon in the future, so you can’t let me ruin your friendship.”
Seeing that Zhao Lang was thinking of himself in every way, Xiang Bo was more and more touched in his heart, and was about to insist, when he heard Zhao Lang say.
“This matter, it’s settled!”
“You and I, brothers, have not seen each other for a long time, so it’s a good time to talk. Don’t worry, I’ve brought good wine.”
Said a side slave, and led towards the side, Xiang Bo found this time, the original Zhao Lang has long prepared the wine and food.
His heart warmed once again.
His brother Zhao had never let him down!
Soon, the two of them drank freely, and after a few glasses, Xiang Bo exclaimed that
“Brother Zhao, it’s only been a few months since I’ve seen you, and you’ve already entered Guanzhong and become the King of Qin… you’re really a great talent!”
“It’s a pity that I’m still just a small grain transport officer.”
Zhao Long returned at this time.
“What are you talking about, brother Xiang, you have a good command of your people and a good understanding of people, if you weren’t here to assist Lord Xiang, you would have already made a career.”
Xiang Bo nodded his head as he listened.
If Zhao Lang had complimented him on his natural talent, he would have been embarrassed to write about it.
After all, his elder brother was the only one with such natural talent.
But when it comes to being a good ruler and knowing people well, this is quite right!
That was indeed his talent!
Still, he had to be modest, and waved his hand repeatedly, saying
“Brother Zhao has over-complimented him.”
Where would Zhao Lang stop? He had come for Xiang Bo today and said with a solemn expression.
“What are you talking about, Brother Xiang, let’s just say that this time I entered Guanzhong, if it wasn’t for your timely rations, I wouldn’t have such a merit.”
“To say the least, my throne also has your share!”
Of course, Zhao Lang was not short of these provisions, but talking about it did not hinder.
Sure enough, hearing this, Xiang Bo could no longer tense up, what did he say!
Brother Zhao would never forget his merits!
Only he said, with a bit of concern
“Brother Zhao, it’s just that if you change your name to King of Qin, won’t you attract enemies!”
He was still very concerned about the life and death of this brother of his.
Zhao Lang laughed out loud at this time and said
“I’m not going to lie to Brother Xiang, I’m just showing my heart and telling the world plainly that my goal is this world!”
“Brother Xiang, when a man lives a life, he should be crowned king and marquis!”
“Don’t worry, when the day comes, I will be able to unify the world!”
These heartfelt words made Xiang Bo both moved and emotional.
This kind of thing, Zhao Lang said to him without hiding, this was treating him with sincerity.
And the other party’s words also made his heart and soul sigh with emotion, this is what makes a man’s manhood great!
He was a man too!
Who doesn’t have the desire to be a king or a marquis?
But in Xiang’s army, he did not have this opportunity.
Even if his nephew, Xiang Yu, became king, I am afraid he would not be given a marquis.
But looking at Zhao Lang’s impassioned look, his heart was moved, if Zhao Lang really had that day.
If Zhao Lang really had that day, and the other side knew of his talent, would there be any chance of him being crowned king?
Thinking of this, Xiang Bo put his wine cup down and sighed ruefully.
“Brother Zhao, I have no talent but I can’t show it!”
Hearing this sigh, all the slaves on the side looked dumbfounded.
For at this moment, he could not tell whether it was his own master or this Xiang Bo who had a thicker skin.
At this time, Zhao Lang hurriedly said in comfort that
“Brother Xiang doesn’t need to mourn himself, you just lack a chance.”
As Bo Xiang watched Zhao Lang’s performance, he was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he shook his head with a bitter smile and said.
“Brother Zhao does not need to persuade me, I am not young, how can I still have any chance.”
He just wanted to see if Zhao Lang had anything to ask for.
Zhao Lang, however, made a pitying face and didn’t answer the question.
After drinking a few more glasses, he said that
“Brother Xiang, let me toast you one more time, after this cup, I am leaving.”
At this time, Bo Xiang, who could not let Zhao Lang leave, hastily asked
“What is so urgent!”
Zhao Lang laughed and
“Brother Xiang, I have received news that Goguryeo is now threatening Liaodong.”
“This time I came back to fight against Goguryeo, after all, Liaodong is our territory at any rate, this Goguryeo wants to cross the border, but it can’t.”
“Alas, originally I wanted to invite Lord Xiang to join me, but now it seems that I can’t.”
After saying this, Zhao Lang got up and said.
“It’s just that, Brother Xiang, I don’t know when we will see each other again, if I can really have that day, I will come and drink with you again!”
With that, Zhao Lang made a gesture to leave.
At this time, Xiang Bo’s eyes lit up and he quickly grabbed Zhao Lang and said.
“Wait, brother Zhao! You said that you wanted to fight with Yu’er against Goguryeo?”
Zhao Lang nodded his head.
Xiang Bo’s mind was now turning up quickly, so hard to catch such an opportunity.
He would not let it go, so he said that
“My brother will go and talk to Yu’er and see if it can be done?”
“Just wait!”
He said, running towards the camp without looking back!
This was his chance for Xiang Bo to be crowned king!
He couldn’t let it go!
