Zhao Lang looked at Liu Bang on the stage and his expression changed slightly.
Quickly revealing a smile, he returned the salute and said.
“Several of you have laboured hard, this Crown Prince thanks you all on behalf of Great Qin.”
“Men, bestow wine!”
Soon after, there were already prepared attendants beside them to serve the wine.
Zhao Lang quickly picked up the wine cup and said.
“This Crown Prince toasts you all.”
After saying that, he drank it all in one go.
Liu Bang’s three men followed suit and finished their drinks.
Zhao Lang took the opportunity to observe the several people for a while, of course focusing on Zhou Bo, only to feel that the other party gave him a feeling of extreme composure.
Rather, he couldn’t see much.
Then smiled and said.
“Please also take your seat, and wait for the other meritorious ministers to celebrate together.”
After saying that, he stopped looking at a few more people and began to receive the others.
Only after seeing this scene did Liu Bang slowly let out a sigh of relief.
He also didn’t know if it was an illusion or not, but he just now always felt that Zhao Lang seemed to be interested in Zhou Bo.
Luckily, he had already tied the knot with Zhou Bo in advance, and with Zhou Bo’s nature, even if Zhao Lang was the crown prince, he wouldn’t fawn on the other party because of his power.
This he was still sure of, or else he wouldn’t have gone through all the trouble to befriend the other party.
Sitting on the seat, Liu Bang is this time looked around, the great general Meng Tian is also next to Zhao Lang, and what makes his mind more complicated, is only next to Meng Tian Han Xin.
In the beginning, he was also under his tent, but now, it was high up.
More so, he didn’t even look at him.
Soon, after Zhao Lang had finished receiving the Qin army generals with more merit, the tent also entered the stage of feasting.
As the host, Zhao Lang naturally had to talk and laugh with the others.
While Fan Kuai ate and drank heartlessly, Liu Bang felt a bit tasteless.
Just then, Liu Bang suddenly heard Zhao Lang say.
“Zhou Bo, this Prince heard that you were exceptionally brave in this battle, can you tell us about that time?”
Liu Bang’s heart tightened and he looked at Zhou Bo.
Suddenly being asked, Zhou Bo at this time was unhurried and said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, that battle was mainly because the main general Liu Bang commanded well, but the credit of the last general was average.”
Hearing this, Zhao Lang’s eyes flashed slightly, it seems that the other party’s loyalty to Liu Bang is very high.
This kind of time when he could show off himself, but he directly pushed Liu Bang out.
Zhao Lang turned his head and looked at Liu Bang with a smile on his face.
“Then please ask General Liu to tell us about it.”
Liu Bang hurriedly said at this time that
“Your Highness the Crown Prince
, it is just that all the generals and soldiers are using their lives together, and since His Highness the Crown Prince wants to hear it, the last general will say a few words about it.”
It was just that the few people within the tent, Meng Tian, all slightly revealed an odd look.
This reply from the other party reminded them of Zhao Lang.
Soon, Liu Bang told all about how he had lured the enemy after getting the news from the scouts, and then used the horse trap dug by the people to kill the enemy.
It drew a round of applause.
Zhao Lang also listened quietly, throughout the whole process, Liu Bang was indeed not half false.
He even praised Zhou Bo a bit, but from here it was also evident that Zhou Bo was indeed a great general!
Let’s try to see if we can take him in directly first, and if we can’t, then we can use the Great Qin Military Order to transfer the other party.
Having made up his mind, after Liu Bang finished speaking, Zhao Lang praised him a little and then continued to ask Zhou Bo.
“Zhou Bo, where are you from?”
Zhou Bo quickly replied back.
“Like General Liu Bang, I’m from Pei County.”
Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows and said.
“Oh, then you are from the same hometown.”
Zhou Bo nodded and smiled back, and
“And also sworn brothers.”
In Zhou Bo’s heart, he has already been yoked as a brother to Liu Bang, and now that His Highness the Crown Prince is asking him a question, of course he wants to push Liu Bang up.
Just hearing this, Liu Bang’s heart was shocked, but Zhao Lang showed a hint of joy and said.
“Oh? You are still sworn brothers? In that case, Brother Zhou is also my brother!”
Hearing Zhao Lang’s words, the entire tent almost instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Zhao Lang with some consternation.
They all naturally knew Zhao Lang’s identity.
The son of the First Emperor of Great Qin, the Crown Prince of the Great Qin Empire.
How did such a person suddenly recognise his brother?
Even Meng Tian was confused, but he knew about Zhao Lang’s illegitimate son, and his heart suddenly came alive…
Could it be that His Majesty…
Tsk tsk…
Just when the atmosphere in the tent was slightly weird, Zhao Lang got up at this time and said.
“This part of the matter however has a source, now regardless of my status as a crown prince.”
“Because when I first put down the rebellion of the six countries, also and Liu Bang, brother Liu is also a brotherhood ah, he helped me a lot.”
“It’s just that brother Liu has always been light on fame and fortune, and although he and I are sworn brothers, he must rely on his own merits!”
“Today, he has made a great achievement, so I finally don’t have to hide it much longer! Come! Brother Liu I toast you!”
After hearing Zhao Lang’s words, the people in the tent were first stunned
, then it dawned on him.
Then cast an envious look towards Liu Bang, how lucky is it to be brothers with His Highness the Crown Prince?
And Liu Bang only felt that his mind was blank.
He thought of himself as a man who had become a great man, and did not stick to the small things.
So sometimes, even to onlookers, he was cheeky.
But he was unconcerned.
This false face was nothing compared to the ambition in his heart!
However, he never expected it!
To actually meet someone who was even more unwanted than himself… Someone who was still not modest!!!
After Zhao Lang took his military power, heaven and earth were kind! He gave him a position as a magistrate.
How can he be indifferent to fame and fortune!
If he can’t see that Zhao Lang is interested in Zhou Bo, he’s wasted all these years!
“Big brother! His Highness the Crown Prince is toasting you!”
Just as Liu Bang was dazed, Fan Kuai on the side hurriedly reminded him.
Only then did Liu Bang come back to his senses, but instead of taking it, he directly bent down and said.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, in the beginning, it was the last general who did not know your identity, and straight away I felt that you were extraordinary and far beyond the ordinary, and only then did I have a mind to befriend you.”
“But the last general’s position is humble, how can I dare to call myself a brother with you!”
Liu Bang now only wants to slap his thighs, his heart is repenting to death.
What’s the point of being a brother to Zhao Lang for nothing?
He wouldn’t recognise him anyway, and God knows if the other party would do anything else after that?
Zhao Lang’s face was solemn at this time, but he said.
“Why did Brother Liu say that! The generals are all citizens of Qin! What’s so lowly about serving the country?”
“Or do you think the generals are not worthy?”
Liu Bang exclaimed.
“I have no such intention whatsoever!”
Zhao Lang revealed a smile that
“I know that Brother Liu definitely didn’t mean that, but since that’s the case, I do have a proposal, all of you generals are all meritorious officials!”
Zhao Lang saluted at this time.
“Today, I will toast the heavens with wine! I’m willing to bond with all of you as brothers!”
“I wonder what you all think?”
Since you like to be sworn brothers, I’ll give you more.
Your brothers, naturally, are also my brothers!
Hearing this, the eyes of all the generals almost instantly reddened!
Standing up in unison, they returned the salute and said.
“Willing to serve His Highness the Crown Prince to the death!!!”
Looking at the saluting crowd, Liu Bang was instantly stunned.
