The ensuing welcome banquet was filled with a peaceful atmosphere, and the civil and military ministers of Badana frequently toasted the envoys from the Silk Country, giving the illusion that the two sides had reached a consensus, and that Basbahn himself had not made any promises.

Wu Sicheng drank and ate meat while coldly observing Bai Basbarn's actions. In his opinion, Baibasbahn has no objection to this cooperation, after all, it is in the interests of both parties, and the only obstacle is probably that Baibasbahn is planning to sell this alliance for a good price. Wu Sicheng understands that this bargaining is very difficult for Basbahn, if it is only Badan's own affairs, it is easier to handle, but now his approval will determine whether Paz is allied with the Silk Country (Wu Sicheng believes that this is completely caused by the incompetence of King Path, who wants to be greedy and does not want to be responsible, and actually pushes the problem to his own subordinates, which shows the degree of his mediocrity). If the benefits of Badana were greater than that of the Paz Empire itself, it would inevitably attract more suspicion and slander. Although the Badana Empire is already quite powerful, if it tears its face with the Paz Empire, it is still in a strategically unfavorable situation of being attacked on all sides, and if it takes this opportunity to expand eastward, it will not only attract the vigilance and suppression of the Pas Empire, but it is more likely to be at odds with the Tukchi, regardless of whether the Tucchi will use troops against Path, the Badana Leader will bear the brunt, and the Paz King is obviously happy to accept that the Badana Territory is consumed by the combat power of the Tukhi, Therefore, balancing the pros and cons is far more difficult for Baibasbahn than for King Path.

Seeing Bai Basbar shaking the honey water in his hand, but his eyes were smiling but not smiling, Wu Sicheng put down his wine glass and saluted him, and said, "Lord Duke, there is a word to tell you below, I don't know if Lord Duke can listen to it intentionally?" ”

"Where did Master Wu say? If you have something to say, you should listen to it. Babbasbar smiled.

Wu Sicheng said: "I heard that the strength of the country is divided into virtual and real, there is a vast territory and chaotic government decrees, and a mediocre monarch, so no matter how shocking the reputation of this country is, it is just a weak country with foreign strength and middle cadres; There is a small land, but the monarch is wise, and the laws are strict and just. If the people are united as a kingdom of one man, then the nation will not be as weak as it seems. As a monarch who expands his territory, invincibility may make him a tyrant who is feared by the famous nations near and far, but if the people of the neighboring countries are respected and the monarchs of all countries are happy to befriend him, then even if he does not own these countries, he can have more power than conquering them. Therefore, even if it seems that there is no benefit on the surface, it does not necessarily mean that there is really no benefit, and you can still stop the mouths of the people, I wonder if this is an ideal state? ”

Babbasbar was stunned for a moment. immediately understood what Wu Sicheng meant. Wu Sicheng means that even if he fails to obtain greater benefits than Paz from this alliance on the surface, it doesn't matter, if he wants to start a war with Tuqi, Nabadana must be the forefront, and it will be Bai Basbahn who will gain martial arts and prestige at that time, so the person who can really establish prestige among the countries along the trade route is also himself, and this kind of soft power improvement can not only make the suzerainty Paz Empire have nothing to say, but also make himself a relatively safe east. However, Bai Basbahn also noticed that Wu Sicheng's statement also revealed that after the trade route was opened, the Silk Council competed with him for the dominance of the trade route countries, and he became more and more jealous of this little man.

Bai Basbahn thought so in his heart, but said with a smile in his mouth: "I will be taught below." Lord Wu's insight is really impressive. I wonder how many people in your country are like Lord Wu? ”

Wu Sicheng smiled: "Why do you care about this little bit of skill? His Majesty the Emperor is wise and wise, and he never asks about his origin. There are many civil and military ministers in our country like stars in the night sky, and they seem to be in the flow of cars, which are innumerable. I wonder why the Duke came to ask this? ”

Bai Basbahn nodded and said, "Your Excellency is too modest, and I would like to infer that there are not many talents like your country, if not rare. Otherwise, I am afraid that there is no country in the world that can compete with you. Here's a question below. It is because since you are interested in forming an alliance with your country, the first thing to consider is whether the alliance can defeat this powerful enemy in the future and how much it will pay to defeat this powerful enemy. The Great Khan of Tukhi, Abicheril, had a relationship with him, and according to the lower shallow view, this person is probably a hero who is not born in the grassland, and it is difficult to find an opponent even in this vast world, so I have been worried about whether there is a character in your country who can compete with it. ”

Babas Barn's words had just been finished. Yang Tao, the deputy envoy behind Wu Sicheng, replied: "The Duke said that Abicheril is an immortal hero, so in the following opinion, the Duke's skills are not below him, I'm afraid he can be slightly better, right?" ”

As soon as Yang Tao said this, Lord Badana's face changed slightly. What Yang Tao said was unusual, because no one had dared to say that he could compete with Abiciel, although he had also established an impressive martial arts, but he was much worse than Abicheril, who was like a god of war in the field. The only person who has this idea is Bai Basbar himself, after he met with Abicilir, he felt that the strength of the two was comparable, but Bai Basbar was not yet thirty years old, and Abicialir was already over forty years old, and the gap of about fifteen years would make the strength of the two gradually become different. Therefore, Yang Tao's words hit his heart, but being able to have such a vision is enough to show that the strength of this deputy envoy is extraordinary.

"This is the deputy envoy of the sheep. You really like to laugh, but you don't have this strength in the next place. Babbasbar smiled with a bewildering smile.

At this moment, Yang Tao threw the remaining sheep bone in his hand at Basbarn! The fierce wind sound of the sheep bone made all the generals present let out an exclamation, no one thought that a sheep bone could be so strong and domineering, if it hit the body, there was no difference between being hit by an arrow at all!

Baibasbar immediately raised the silver wine glass in his hand to block, the momentum of the sheep bone was too strong, and it pierced the wine glass without slowing down, but at this time, he saw Baibasbar stretch out his other hand to catch the sheep bone steadily!

This thrilling scene only happened in an instant, but it stunned everyone present, only Yang Tao and Bai Basbahn still had the same expressions as always

Yang Tao laughed: "If nothing else, Abicil has no means to catch this sheep bone with his bare hands, and even if he catches his wrist, it will be dislocated." ”

"I didn't expect that Deputy Envoy Yang turned out to be a top master who was hidden deeply, and he was really blindsided." Babbasbar said with a smile, tossing the lamb bone to the ground and flicking his aching wrist behind the table while everyone was not looking.

"Presumably, the Duke will no longer doubt the strength of our country now, and my country also very much hopes to ally with a country with such a hero as the Duke, so that it will be much easier to defeat Tuqi." Wu Sicheng hurriedly stood up and arched his hand.

Bai Basbar also smiled and said: "Your country is indeed full of talents, and it is really an eye-opener today, and it is also a matter of great satisfaction for our country to form an alliance with a country like yours that values faithfulness." ”

Thanks to Basbarn's words, the alliance of the three kingdoms of Paz, the land of silk, and the Tibetan was reached, and a siege network against Tuqi was finally completed. (To be continued.) )
