Fish swimming around the world

The ceremony was not held in Yunchi. After all, the alliance between the two parties was not a family sacrifice, so it was not suitable for the Hu family's holy land. At the same time, Jiang Fan did not intend to let Hu Guanshan know about his relationship with Tianhu, otherwise the phrase "Hu Pu Guiyuan" would be awkward.

What, I want to form an alliance with you, and you want to use me as a servant? One misstep could cause the alliance to collapse.

The high priest obviously thought so too, so he deliberately avoided Hu Guanshan and discussed the matter with him in secret.

The ceremony was very grand, and Jiang Fan also maintained enough respect for the Hu family's traditions and followed through the entire ceremony. The only thing that didn't surprise him was that the sacrificial dance was just like the master dance he had seen in the past. Anyway, he couldn't understand it or feel the beauty.

Finally, after three bowls of blood wine were consumed, both sides looked at each other and laughed.

Hu Guanshan said with emotion: "Who would have thought that the two sides that were hostile a few days ago would actually become allies. The change is so fast that it is amazing."

Jiang Fan also smiled and said: "That's how things are in the world, with twists and turns and unpredictable changes."

Hu Guanshan invited him to the table. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, he said seriously: "We have formed an alliance. I wonder what Brother Jiang Xian's plans will be in the future?"

Jiang Fan knew that he was concerned about where the Hu family would go and asked about his plans, but he was actually discussing the situation that the Hu family might encounter after forming an alliance. Fortunately, he was somewhat prepared in his hurry.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Brother Hu, you should know that this alliance means that both parties will help each other. But I know very well that the Hu family does not want to be born prematurely, and I do not insist on this. However, there are three things that are likely to involve the Hu family. It’s best to make it clear to Brother Hu in advance.”

Hu Guanshan nodded solemnly: "Hu has already figured it out. Escape is not the best way to save the family. Now that I have the help of my good brother, the Hu family is even more lucky. If my good brother has something to do, of course it is my duty to do so. Just talk about it."

Jiang Fan smiled and clasped his fists: "You don't have to be polite, stupid brother. First of all, Brother Hu knows that I am the hidden minister of the country and lead the king of Zhenxi. In the future, if the imperial court needs the support of the king of Zhenbei, please ask Hu Brother, help me a lot.”

Hu Guanshan did not hesitate: "This is inevitable. The more powerful my good brother is in the imperial court, the happier I, the Hu family, will be."

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I am very curious. Is it true that the Hu family has given up on Dazhou a long time ago?"

Hu Guanshan sighed: "My dear brother, there is no need to doubt it. Everyone knows that our ancestor was invited by the Grand Master to assist the Zhou Dynasty in the past, but in fact, our ancestor got Tianhu's signal behind his back. The ancestor said that the Hu family served Tianhu, not Later, I learned from Dazai that the fortune of the Great Zhou was only eight hundred and eight years old, and the Hu family had already wanted to leave hundreds of years ago. Finally, three hundred years ago, the Hu family took advantage of the chaos of the Eighteen Kings and retired to seclusion. It seems too early, but the elders believed that the Hu family needs time to completely build a tribe that is independent of the world. "

Jiang Fan knew that after all, they wanted to avoid the thousand-year catastrophe by living in seclusion. Otherwise, they would just live in seclusion. What was the purpose of supporting the army?

Hu Guanshan said seriously: "Three hundred years ago, except for the hereditary title of Zhenbei King, we have cut off all contact with the imperial court, so we can give up. No matter what my dear brother wants to do in the imperial court, there is no need." take into account."

Jiang Fan nodded: "That's very good. My foolish brother thought that the Zhenbei Wang family was constantly separated from the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Hu Guanshan smiled: "It is true that I only got this title and territory from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but my Hu family also conquered the world for the Great Zhou Dynasty and guarded the country for five hundred years. I don't owe him anything. Now we are with each other." It was just a matter of affection, and it was precisely because of this affection that I reluctantly came forward to marry Mr. Jiang, just to support the great Zhou Dynasty. "

Only then did Jiang Fan understand, but he was a little interested: "Mr. Jiang is leaning towards Zhou? I thought he was leaning towards King Xia."

Hu Guanshan shook his head: "My Hu family has lived in seclusion for too long, so it's hard to say, but this matter was indeed said by His Majesty himself during the marriage in the past."

Pinghuang... Jiang Fan's heart moved slightly, but he did not delve into it deeply.

"I heard that the Jiang girl is also very extraordinary, and she got married only when she had the opportunity to live in the north. Is this true?"

"Haha, my dear brother, I am very well informed. Yes, Jiang's daughter is indeed extraordinary, but the opportunity lies in the north. Basically, in order to complete the marriage, Mr. Jiang is helping His Majesty, and he uses divination to reject others."

It turned out to be politics. Jiang Fan shook his head and laughed. Yes, there are so many unpredictable things in the world.

"Okay, in that case, I will tell you the second story." His eyes became a little solemn: "Brother Hu should know that I am essentially the regent of the Qin Dynasty, and I am afraid that I will be involved in the War of the Five Kingdoms in the future."

When Hu Guanshan heard this, his eyes changed slightly.

Jiang Fan continued: "However, when the time comes, Brother Yu will never force Brother Hu to send troops to help, but the only request is that Brother Hu should not help others."

Hu Guanshan breathed a sigh of relief and said decisively: "Don't worry, my virtuous brother. Hu, a dignified man, can't catch up with his words. No matter the five countries or the imperial court in this world, it is impossible for the Hu family to send troops to help. And if virtuous I do need it, we’ll talk about it later.”

Not only did he promise, but he also kept something alive in his words. Jiang Fan was naturally very satisfied: "Okay! Brother Hu is happy."

Hu Guanshan looked at him with a strange expression: "My dear brother, as the supreme official of the imperial court, and you are planning for the Qin Dynasty, wouldn't this status conflict?"

Jiang Fan understood what he was thinking. He wanted to know where his true heart lay.

But this matter is too complicated, and it’s not the right time to talk about it.

"Brother Hu, why should you care about this? What you want is just to protect the Hu family. In this world of temples, I can just think about it, my foolish brother."

Hu Guanshan chuckled and nodded: "Indeed, I really don't need to worry about this. Okay, then what is the third thing, my dear brother?"

"The third, the barbarians!" Jiang Fan said decisively: "If one day, I want to ride on the Northern Plains, please help me, brother Hu."

This time, Hu Guanshan had almost no hesitation and slammed the table directly: "You don't need to tell me about this, the Hu family has no choice but to do it! Our ancestor Hu Yue is a dignified Chinese, and he has earnestly warned the younger generation that the national justice must not be lost."

Jiang Fan raised his thumb: "The Hu family is indeed worthy of the iron gate bolt of Zhenbei!"

Hu Guanshan Shan said in a deep voice: "The Hu family guards the northern border and has a feud with the barbarians. Even if we don't want to be hostile to them anymore, once the barbarians gain power in the future, I'm afraid they will not let us go. Speaking of which, this is one of the important reasons why Hu has always been entangled in the desire to escape from the world. Now that you and I have formed an alliance, whether it is for national justice or the survival of the Hu family, Brother Jiang, there is no need to say more, just give an order when the time comes!"

Jiang Fan clapped his hands and praised: "Good! Family, family, there is a family and a nation, Brother Hu said it well, I offer you a glass!"

The two drank happily. Jiang Fan spoke solemnly.

"In fact, there is another thing that you and I may not be able to avoid in the future..."

Hu Guanshan seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes also became cold and solemn: "Brother, you mean..."

He pointed to the sky.

Seeing that he understood, Jiang Fan sighed and nodded: "If the thousand-year curse really exists, the whole world cannot escape it... I wonder what Brother Hu thinks?"

Hu Guanshan sighed deeply: "My dear brother, your question hits the heart of my brother. The Hu family chose the Taibai Mountains to avoid the world. Almost no one would think of robbing such a place. There is no need to worry about most normal human affairs, but this heaven. The most fundamental idea of ​​me and my ancestors is to escape this disaster."

Jiang Fan said slowly: "Then what? This time, I feel that Brother Hu It seems that I was originally a little entangled about this. "

"Yes... How can I not be entangled. Once such a catastrophe occurs, it will inevitably affect the entire world. Hu has thought more than once, can I hide from it if I want to? Especially my Hu family inherited the Sky Fox, the relationship is hard to break. The ancestor once said that the Sky Fox is not a lineage from the outside world, and may even be a great enemy of the upper world. If this is true, once that day comes, I am afraid it will be more difficult for us to shrink and seek perfection than outsiders..."

Jiang Fan stared at him: "So, Brother Hu has been entangled for many years, do you have a clear tendency?"
