Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 377 Compensation for feeling guilty

Now Zhao Mu somewhat understood Zhou Botong's mood. I had done something wrong to my friend, but my friend's generous forgiveness was much more painful than killing him a hundred times.

If Duan Yu turned against him, he would fight to the death with him, and even slap him twice and kick him several times to vent his anger. Zhao Mu felt better. But now his magnanimous appearance really made Zhao Mu feel ashamed.

Zhao Mu said at this time: "Brother Duan, let's do this. At present, the Liao Kingdom has not been eliminated, Xixia has not been settled, and our Song Dynasty is still in danger of dying. Zhao Mu still needs to keep his life. When I pacify Liao and destroy Xia, After reporting it to the emperor, you can claim this order to atone for today’s sin!”

Duan Yu said, "Brother Zhao, you don't have to be like this. I think it was Mei'er's choice, so I can't say much about it. My father has secretly dated many aunts behind his mother's back, and men are like this. How can we be so demanding? What about women’s chastity?”

Zhao Mu looked at Duan Yu in surprise. He didn't know if Duan Yu had any special hobbies. But his idea seems to be a few hundred years ahead of his time.

Duan Yu then sat back in the chess game. He continued to deduce the next chess game while saying: "Besides, Duan Yu's heart is not in Mei'er, and Mei'er's heart is not in me. The union of the two of us is itself It is an injustice caused by the desire for power. This emotion has caused evil consequences.”

"Now that Mei'er has a new love like you, I'm also freed. This is a good thing for both of us. It saves us from sharing the same bed with each other, and neither of us feels comfortable looking at each other."

Zhao Mu did not expect Duan Yu to be such an open-minded person. Perhaps it was his profound Buddhist knowledge that made his ideas so unique.

Zhao Mu still sighed and said: "Alas! I have always failed you in this matter, Brother Duan. It is because I am shameless and I did not withstand the temptation!" As he said this, Zhao Mu was about to slap himself hard. But when Duan Yu saw this, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him. Zhao Mu's hand also stopped in the air.

Duan Yu didn't say anything this time, he just smiled and shook his head at Zhao Mu.

Faced with Duan Yu's behavior, Zhao Mu felt twice as guilty. He said at this time: "Brother Duan, why don't you punch me twice, or do you want something? As long as I, Zhao Mu, can do it, I will go through fire and water, no matter what!"

Duan Yu said: "Brother Zhao, we have known each other for more than a day. How can Duan Yu use words to deceive others? Everything Duan Yu said is true, and he did not deceive Brother Zhao at all. There is no need to worry about Brother Zhao. . The relationship between me and Meier has never been good. Even if she doesn't come to you today, with her domineering attitude, she may find someone else in the future. At least she can make me feel better. "

Zhao Mu sighed and said: "So, Zhao Mu really judged the gentleman with a villain's heart. But if I don't compensate Brother Duan, I'm afraid I won't be able to face Brother Duan again in the future. How about this, I Although there is no precedent for marriage in the Song Dynasty, I can inform my lord and ask him to choose a daughter from the clan to marry Dali."

Duan Yu still deduced the chess game calmly, and said: "Brother Zhao, there is no need. Since your country has no such precedent, I think it is best not to play. Besides, the situation in Dali is complicated. The princess of the Song Dynasty has arrived in my country. Even if I’m not wronged, I’m afraid I won’t feel comfortable. Besides, there aren’t many women in this world who are willing to marry a man they’ve never met.”

Zhao Mu then said: "It's better than this. Miss Wang Yuyan, you have seen her before. Her appearance is exactly the same as the stone statue of Mistress. I can see that Brother Duan seems to admire Master's appearance very much. Mr. Murong and I are quite fond of each other. If you have a relationship, I can ask him to be a matchmaker between you and Miss Wang."

Hearing this, Duan Yu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No! No! Although Miss Wang looks similar to the fairy sister, she only has the form but not the spirit." As he said this, Duan Yu looked at him with an obsessed look. Looking at the jade statue, he then continued, "Besides, Miss Wang is only devoted to Young Master Murong, so how could she empathize with me? This strong-willed melon is not sweet. Even if the two of us are together, it will be nothing more than that." They are just bedfellows. Since this is still the case, it is better to let it go." Duan Yu admired the jade statue and then said, "As long as Duan Yu can appreciate the holy face of the fairy sister every day, he will be satisfied. "

Hearing Duan Yu's words, Zhao Mu even felt that this guy was hopeless.

He neither loves the country nor the beauty. Even when his wife slept with his best brother, he was indifferent. It was so weird that Zhao Mu was really convinced.

For such a pursuing person, Zhao Mu really wanted to kowtow to him three times and recognize him as his adoptive father.

At this time, Zhong Ling, who was passing by with firewood in his arms, caught Zhao Mu's attention.

Zhao Mu said at this time: "By the way, Brother Duan, you are the prince of Dali Kingdom. You will inherit the throne in the future. It is impossible for you to be a person without a queen. There must always be a queen in this country." As he said this, Zhao Mu sighed. He took a breath and said, "Alas! Now that Gao Mei has been defiled by me, he cannot stand the unification of Dali Kingdom. I am willing to help Brother Duan find another virtuous man and eliminate the disaster of the Gao family!"

Hearing the murderous intent in Zhao Mu's words, Duan Yu quickly said: "Brother Zhao, no, although Mei'er can no longer inherit the throne. But this is not her fault, but the fault of this dynasty and the fault of the world. In the future, After I discussed it with her, we just made peace. There is no need to go to war to get rid of the entire Gao family."

When Zhao Mu saw Duan Yu's anxious look, he smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Duan is overthinking. What I'm talking about is cutting off the Gao family's monopoly over the Duan family in Dali. I didn't say I wanted to kill Gao Houye and the Duan family in Dali." Gao Mei. Besides, it was my fault. If I had been stronger, I might not have made such a big mistake. "

Duan Yu felt relieved after hearing this. If he raised an army and mobilized a large number of people for such a trivial matter, and blood flowed like a river, then he would feel that he was a sinner for the ages.

Duan Yu asked: "It's just that Brother Zhao said that the disaster of Gao's autocratic power should be eliminated. How to eliminate it? If it can be done without fighting, it would be a good thing. Uncle, it is now the time when the Spring and Autumn Period is at its peak, and the country of Dali is also peaceful and peaceful. . If it weren't for the Gao family's threat that made him want to retreat, his uncle would not have passed the throne to his father so quickly. If it could be done without bloodshed, it would be a big deal for me, the Duan family. Good thing. It just seems a little difficult."

Zhao Mu shook his head and said: "This may be difficult for others, but it is easy for me. This can be considered as my compensation for Brother Duan and the Duan family in Dali. I am willing to convince Lord Gao Hou The Duan family in Dali is no longer in power."

Duan Yu said: "Just persuasion? This seems a bit difficult. Now my father-in-law controls the military and political affairs of the entire Dali Kingdom. Even if he is willing to let go, the other children of the Gao family are afraid that they will not."

Zhao Mu said with a smile: "Don't worry! They will happily agree to no longer monopolize Dali Kingdom. Because the conditions I offer are something they cannot refuse."
