Upon hearing this, Luo Tianbao hurriedly said humbly: "Senior brother, you're too polite. This all depends on the soldiers' sacrifice. The younger brother's contribution is really insignificant."

"Junior brother is too humble, then we brothers should drink this cup for today's great victory."

Luo Tianbao was also a person of temperament, and he was a little excited when he heard what Xiahou Suiliang said about this matter. Finally, he drank a full glass of wine.

What are your plans for the war?"

When Luo Tianbao thought that the other party was his eldest brother, he immediately made no secret of it: "We plan to relieve the siege of Dongzhou first, and then we will support each other with you, eldest brother. We will first protect Yi and Jizhou and then make arrangements."

Xiahou Suiliang nodded after hearing this: "This is indeed a safe strategy. Does the master have any other plans in the future?"

"Other plans? You mean?"

"The old man can't always call him General, right? He has no intention of correcting his name?"

"Well, not yet. After all, we have just started the uprising and the situation is undecided. We haven't thought as much yet."

"I see. In fact, if Master intends to become king or even ascend the throne, Senior Brother, I am willing to support him. Even our Dongzhou Army is his vassal. I hope that Junior Brother you can convey this intention to me after you return."

Luo Tianbao didn't expect that Xia Hou Suiliang would say this and hurriedly waved his hand: "Elder brother, you are serious. It is not easy for you to build this foundation. How can you be made a vassal so easily? I would never dare to say such a thing.

Chuan, you'd better find someone else or go directly to tell my father."

Xiahou Suiliang suddenly became angry when he heard this: "Why, do we, brothers and sisters, still have to be so hypocritical?"

Luo Tianbao smiled bitterly and said: "Elder brother, please don't misunderstand me. What I say is from the bottom of my heart. A gentleman will not take away the beauty of others. What's more, the foundation of Dongzhou was built with blood by you and the soldiers. There is no reason for us, father and son, to take what is ready.

Please don’t mention it to me in the future.”

Xiahou Suiliang heard this and looked at Luo Tianbao, as if he was observing whether he was sincere or fake. Finally, he couldn't help laughing: "Brothers are indeed kind people. Well, let's discuss this later. We are happy tonight.

Drunk and unable to return.”

Xiahou Suiliang said and filled another glass for Luo Tianbao, who didn't pay much attention to it. The banquet ended happily, and Luo Tianbao also rarely got drunk for a while.

The next day, Luo Tianbao slept until nearly noon before getting up and eating breakfast. Zhang Hao came and said he wanted to ask for instructions on the rest arrangements for the troops. Luo Tianbao immediately made arrangements. After saying this, Zhang Hao did not leave, but instead looked like

He asked like a casual chat: "Sima, what did King Dongping talk to you last night?"

Luo Tianbao didn't pay much attention, and immediately repeated briefly what his senior brother had said to him last night. Zhang Haowen couldn't help but touch his chin with his hand, and a meaningful sneer appeared on his face.

"Mr. Zhang, do you think something is wrong?" Luo Tianbao and Zhang Hao have been getting along for some time, and he can guess what the other person is thinking at a glance.

"It's nothing, I just feel that King Dongping has good intentions."

"How to say?"

"Didn't Sima see that King Dongping was retreating in order to advance? How could he be willing to take the initiative to become our vassal with his personality? He was testing your tone, Sima."

"Isn't that true?" Although Luo Tianbao said this, he was still a little vague in his heart. After all, he also felt that the change in senior brother's attitude yesterday was too big.

Zhang Hao further analyzed at this time: "Sima, you are too kind. In fact, my subordinates can see that King Dongping is afraid that we will sideline him this time and seize Dongzhou. However, due to reasons, he cannot openly fall out with us, so he

Coming up with such an idea to find out the news shows that he is still wary of us, and my subordinates have the same intention as last time. King Dongping's presence will sooner or later be a disaster for us, so it is better to attack first."

Luo Tianbao fell into silence. He analyzed what Zhang Hao said was not unreasonable. Since the senior brother still can't trust his father and son so far, it would be a matter of time for him to fall out in the future. If he attacks now, he may be able to save his life.

Luo Tianbao couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he thought about the feeling of being from the same family.

"This time we came under the guise of rescuing Dongzhou. Now that Senior Brother has not revealed his hostility, we are going to do this. If the world sees it, we will think that we are too dishonest. Who will believe in us in the future? Let alone me.

We still have the same friendship with senior brother, so let him betray us first, but we can't betray him first, so let's forget about it."

Zhang Hao didn't say anything after hearing this, and immediately resigned. Luo Tianbao was still thinking about this matter after he left, and the rift between the rebel army and the Dongzhou army gradually began.

In the afternoon, Xiahou Suiliang invited Luo Tianbao to the banquet again, but this time there were much fewer people present, almost all of whom were under the Jindoubao sect. In Xiahou Suiliang's words, it was regarded as a "family banquet" for their sect.

During this period, everyone first chatted about the next strategy. The two sides basically agreed to deal with the remaining Dayou Army in the northeast of Dongzhou. After wiping them out, they would then turn around and deal with the main force of the Dayou Army in the west.

After saying this, everyone's conversation gradually turned to martial arts. Luo Tianbao originally knew that Xiahou Suiliang was the best among his peers and was much better than himself, but he never had the chance to discuss it in detail. This time, he didn't know whether it was because he was drunk or because he was deliberately trying.

To create an illusion for outsiders that the brothers are close to each other, Xiahou Suiliang and Luo Tianbao discussed in detail their martial arts and their own opinions and insights on martial arts. Luo Tianbao benefited a lot. Everyone kept talking during the meal.

The meal was not finished until that night. Since it was already late, Xiahou Suiliang left Luo Tianbao to rest in his palace, and the two brothers slept on opposite couches.

When Luo Tianbao saw that Xiahou Suiliang's palace had carved beams and painted edifices, although it was not as good as the imperial palace of the capital, it could still be said to be magnificent, and he was quite moved at the moment.

"Eldest brother, you really know how to enjoy happiness."

Xiahou Suiliang couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "This is what Lang Yue and the others meant. If you say that the palace is not strong, others will inevitably look down upon you. They always think that we are a bunch of bandits. In fact, why do we martial arts practitioners care about this?"

"By the way, why haven't you seen my sister-in-law yet?"

"Hey, I practiced martial arts for a while in my early years. In the past two years, I have been busy with the army, so how could I care about getting married?"

"So the eldest brother hasn't gotten married yet?"

"What's the point? We people in the world have been living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife. There is no tomorrow if we have today. Having a family is a drag."

"Then Senior Brother has never liked anyone?"

"How could that be? I am also a human being, and I also have emotions and desires. It's just that they have all passed, so I don't mind mentioning them."

Luo Tianbao couldn't help but become interested at this time, sat up and said: "Elder brother, there are no outsiders here, just talk to my younger brother."

Xiahou Suiliang seemed to be quite happy after drinking a few more drinks today. After a slight hesitation, he finally revealed the story to Luo Tianbao.

"Brother, do you know the Huitian Eight Family?"

"You know, my second mother is the descendant of one of the higher sects."

"Yes, there is a Chen sect among these eight families. It was founded by Chen Jingnan, the son-in-law of Senior Flying Sword Immortal Xin, and Chen Daxia. They have quite a relationship with our Jindou Fort. It is said that this was almost twenty years ago.
