Old King Han calmly observes the present young people, on the face is hanging the exhausted curiosity, probably that list is one including him also to think the inferior joke. 老汗王静静地观察着眼前的年轻人,脸上挂着疲惫的好奇,好像那份名单是一个连他自己也觉得蹩脚的玩笑。 Gu Shenwei knows that this is not the joke, he folds the paper, returns the tray, after the maidservant gets out of the way, said: „I can give up anybody, but I do not accept the threat.” 顾慎为知道这不是玩笑,他重新折好纸张,放回托盘,等女奴走开之后,说:“我可以放弃任何人,但我不接受威胁。” Old King Han leaps stands up, is agile likely a young fellow, the back of slightly camel also appears straight, but has only maintained a small meeting, „really regrettable, you will regard the threat this, I hope that helps a young hero clearly recognize itself, believes that the experience of person of dying, you now look compared with the life also important thing, quick will become and dust equally will be mean, should not be confused by the woman, what you will fall in love will be only a vice- leather bag, but in this world will have innumerable beautiful leather bag and other you excavation.” 老汗王腾地站起身,利索得像个小伙子,就连微驼的背也显得笔直,但只维持了一小会,“真遗憾,你会把这当成威胁,我只是希望帮助一位年轻的英雄认清自己,相信一个将死之人的经验吧,你现在看得比生命还重要的事物,很快就会变得跟灰尘一样轻贱,不要被女人迷惑,你所爱上的只是一副皮囊,而这世上还有数不清的美丽皮囊等着你去发掘。” Old King Han launches the both arms, the maidservants goes forward rapidly, takes off the long gown for him skilled, changes the facile military garb, he stretches out the right arm, waits for supporting by the arm of Dragon King. 老汗王展开双臂,女奴们迅速上前,熟练地为他脱下长袍,换上轻便的戎装,他伸出右臂,等待龙王的搀扶。 The right hand of Gu Shenwei feels anxious, regardless of Old King Han is fair, this is a threat. 顾慎为的右手感到焦躁,无论老汗王的话多么合情合理,这都是一种威胁。 He walks to go forward, supports the emaciated old person. 他走上前,扶住瘦弱的老人。 „You do not need to make choice now, we attend the evening banquet, do not let the person think that we are planning any plot, the present imperial court, is wilder than a bull of being in heat, smells the ominous smell, possibly makes it fall insanely.” “你不用现在做出选择,咱们去参加晚宴吧,别让人以为咱们在策划什么阴谋,现在的龙庭,比一头发情的公牛还要狂暴,嗅到一点不祥的气味,都可能让它疯掉。” „Old King Han what knows?” Since does not need to make the choice immediately, Gu Shenwei simply disguises the list not to exist, takes advantage of opportunity to shift the topic to the perspiration position struggles. “老汗王什么都知道？”既然不需要马上做出选择,顾慎为干脆假装名单不存在,顺势将话题转移到汗位之争上来。 „I, should know know.” “哦,该知道的我都知道。” Two people go out of the tent, summer says evening extraordinary bright. 两人走出帐篷,夏曰的傍晚出奇的明亮。 Outside was waiting for retinue, guard and cavalry in groups, middle most people was born in the aristocrat, in 15 to 25 years old was the Old King Han service, in the maidservant with tent was the same, left the comfortable family, wore the complete set armor, stood in the dust that summer said that waited for that an old person, what was only different, they took this as the honor. 外面守候着成群结队的仆从、侍卫与骑兵,当中的绝大多数人都出生于贵族,在15至25岁之间为老汗王服役,也跟帐篷里的女奴一样,离开舒适的家庭,穿着全套盔甲,站立在夏曰的尘土中,等待一位老人,唯一不同的是,他们以此为荣。 Gu Shenwei does not need to raise the head to feel the blazing vision, probably he oneself was also paid attention compared with Old King Han, but is full of the envy and indignation, he came from Western Region, king is nominal, can walk unexpectedly side Old King Han, supports the prairie the main arm, but these several hundred clothes armor bright guards, are also not necessarily able to obtain a look until the retirement. 顾慎为无需抬头就能感受到炽烈的目光,好像他比老汗王本人还受关注,只是其中饱含嫉妒与愤慨,他来自西域,王号有名无实,竟然能走在老汗王身边,扶住草原之主的手臂,而这数百名衣甲鲜明的卫士们,直到退役也未必能得到一个眼神。 In order to get rid to draw back layer upon layer the fetters, the Old King Han left arm in airborne stopped a meeting, first is along government official, is the silver carves and other personal bodyguards, afterward is the aristocrat retinue, finally is the loyal cavalry, one ** bows to draw back. 为了摒退层层羁绊,老汗王的左臂在空中多停了一会,先是随身宦者,接着是银雕等贴身侍卫,随后是贵族仆从,最后是忠诚的骑兵,一**躬身退下。 Gu Shenwei holds Old King Han to lead the way gradually, beyond his front dozens, two officials likely is the stealthy bandits and thieves, leads the way carefully, simultaneously guaranteed oneself will not be noted by Old King Han, the farther distance, is large quantities of guards and cavalries. 顾慎为扶着老汗王缓步前行,在他前方数十步以外,两名宦官像是鬼鬼祟祟的盗贼,小心地引路,同时确保自己不会被老汗王注意到,身后更远的距离,才是大批侍卫与骑兵。 All people ride in immediately, control the mount diligently, to coordinate the Old King Han slow step, once there is a need, can rush at the maximum speed, this need little occurred extremely, but they still at any time were ready. 所有人都骑在马上,努力控制坐骑,以配合老汗王缓慢的步伐,一旦有需要,又能以最快的速度冲上去,这种需要极少发生,但他们仍然随时做好准备。 Old King Han continued the topic, as if still paced in the tent, is aloof to the tense atmosphere that other party became, „sought for an appropriate successor to be difficult, in the past I obtained the process of perspiration position, it is said was for 100 years is smoothest, but I must kill many people.” 老汗王继续刚才的话题,似乎仍在帐篷里踱步,对他造成的紧张气氛无动于衷,“寻找一位合适的继承人非常困难,当年我取得汗位的过程,据说是100年来最顺利的,可我仍然得杀死许多人。” If some people hear Old King Han unexpectedly regarding succeeding to the throne the issue to a foreigner, definitely will envy to go crazy, Gu Shenwei had nothing to say in reply, he has found out the Old King Han way gradually, knows that this was only a opening, the true intention had not revealed. 如果有人听到老汗王竟然对一名外国人谈起继位问题,肯定会嫉妒得发狂,顾慎为却无言以对,他渐渐摸清了老汗王的路数,知道这只是一个开头,真正的意图还没有显露。 „Now finally is one's turn the people to kill me.” “现在终于轮到人们想要杀我了。” „They think.” “他们只是想想。” „Hehe, wants with doing is only half remote, my nose always very spirits, a wee bit plot smells can smell, may it malfunction recently, because the plot are too many, did not have the means 11 discriminations, rests the woman on my bed, guards the soldier of tent, takes an oath the subject who gives loyalty to me, flows the close relative of my blood, everybody is calculating my time of death, looks at their disappointed complexions, I was very happy, but they have prevented my nose, making some more significant plot fish in troubled waters.” “呵呵,想与做只是半步之遥,我的鼻子向来很灵,一丁点的阴谋气味都能闻到,可最近它失灵了,因为阴谋太多,已经没办法11区分,睡在我床上的女人,守卫帐篷的士兵,向我宣誓效忠的臣民,还有流淌我的血液的至亲,人人都在计算我的死期,看着他们失望的脸色,我很高兴,可他们阻挡了我的鼻子,让一些更重大的阴谋混水摸鱼。” „Central Plains once entrusted me to assassinate Old King Han.” “中原曾经委托我刺杀老汗王。” „I know, you were very intelligent, before coming Northern Court, disclosed the information, I also know, you have not rejected the request of Central Plains. Do not argue, I am a tenacious old person, does not like others opposing my guess. You do right, you are not the Central Plains person, is not the Northern Court person, why to give loyalty to some in side with no reason at all? ‚When crisis arrival arranges a escape route to oneself, this is normal person's response’, look, I still remember that your words, you can forgive the subordinate, I have no reason to punish you.” “我知道,你很聪明,来北庭之前就透露了信息,我也知道,你并没有拒绝中原的委托。不要辩解,我是个固执的老人,不喜欢人家反对我的猜测。你做得没错,你不是中原人,也不是北庭人,干嘛无缘无故地效忠于某一方呢？‘当危机到来时给自己多安排一条后路,这是正常人的反应’,瞧,我还记得你的话,你能原谅部下,我也没有理由惩罚你。” „I have not needed escape route now.” “我现在已经不需要后路了。” „Hehe, the young people, to your present circumstances feeling suffering from injustice with desperate, you are young, walk on path that in others arrange is normal, my less than 20 years old inherit the perspiration position, have gone forward in the crevice, the enemy guides in front, the friend promotes in behind, they look like my two legs, decided where I to walk, at age 50, I obtained quickly freely, has the qualifications to take own road, occasionally can also arrange a road for others.” “呵呵,年轻人,不要对你现在的境遇感委屈与绝望,你还年轻,走在别人安排好的道路上再正常不过,我不到20岁继承汗位,一直在夹缝中前进,敌人在前面引导,朋友在后面推动,他们就像是我的两条腿,决定我向哪里行走,快到50岁的时候,我才获得一点自由,有资格走自己的路,偶尔还能替别人安排一条路。” „Has Old King Han arranged a road for me?” “老汗王替我安排了一条路？” „Strict, this road does not arrange for you, but I hope that can see your form in this road, a form of you and woman.” “严格来说,这条路不是为你安排的,可我希望能在这条路看到你的身影,你和一个女人的身影。” Old King Han stressed specially „”, then he is separated from supporting by the arm of Dragon King, the relaxing board, accepts worshipping on bended knees of numerous descendant and aristocrat. 老汗王特意强调“一个”,然后他脱离龙王的搀扶,直起腰板,接受众多儿孙与贵族的跪拜。 They have arrived at the evening banquet site. 他们已经走到晚宴所在地。 Gu Shenwei moves toward right five steps, this is a subtle position, not only likely is the standpoint of servant and guard, and has avoided the ritual of worshipping on bended knees. 顾慎为向右移动五步,这是一个微妙的位置,既像是奴仆与侍卫的立足点,又避免了跪拜之礼。 Ten prince really all assembleds, only then said that he nods by king to rush, other princes are all worried, no one has looked at Dragon King one. 十位王爷果然聚齐了,只有曰逐王冲他点点头,其他王爷个个心事重重,谁也没瞧龙王一眼。 Old King Han lifts the arm, Gu Shenwei goes forward to support by the arm once more, throws arrives at vision to be even more blazing, summer said that the most intense sunlight is more scorching. 老汗王抬起手臂,顾慎为再次上前搀扶,投到身上的目光越发炽烈,比夏曰最强烈的阳光都要灼人。 In the broad tent has held dozens tables of banquets, matching of each table of position and guest of after the careful arrangement, ingeniously results in likely is not the style of Northern Court person. 宽阔的帐篷里已经摆好数十桌宴席,每一桌的位置与客人的搭配都经过细致的安排,巧妙得不像是北庭人的风格。 The Dragon King position under the Northern Court ten kings, sits accompanying is a minister, Shangguan Fei can only sit in the entrance, treats with one group of tense excited young brave warriors in the same place. 龙王的位置在北庭十王之下,坐陪者是一名大臣,上官飞只能坐在门口,跟一群紧张兴奋的年轻勇士待在一起。 All have arranged appropriately, Old King Han actually makes the astonishing action: Keeps side Dragon King. 一切都已安排妥当,老汗王却做出惊人之举:将龙王留在身边。 „Do not walk back and forth, sits here.” “不要走来走去,坐在这儿吧。” Until Old King Han said these words, the shocking officials hurriedly held the blanket, the shop turn the head in the Old King Han liquor case together, Gu Shenwei sat down compliantly, knows oneself henceforth become will be the target of public criticism, only security the refuge was the path that Old King Han gave him to arrange. 直到老汗王说出这句话,震惊的宦官才急忙捧来一块毯子,铺在老汗王酒案侧首,顾慎为遵命坐下,知道自己从此将成为众矢之的,唯一安全的避难之所就是老汗王给他安排好的道路。 The boldness is the Northern Court custom, Old King Han time on the scene is so, by saying takes the lead by the king, the atmosphere lives it up quickly, everybody go all out show rough side, looks like the worthy progeny, to let the elder of longevity was happy, but makes all sorts of weak actions. 豪放是北庭的风俗,老汗王在场的时候更是如此,由曰逐王带头,气氛很快就热闹起来,人人都卖力地展现粗犷的一面,就像是孝子贤孙,为了让高寿的长辈高兴,而做出种种幼稚的举动。 The high and low order of careful establishment was disrupted quickly, many people come to propose a toast to Dragon King, the complete congratulatory remarks spoke thoughtlessly come, even sang to dance in the presence of everyone, the majority performed actually to Old King Han looks. 精心设置的尊卑次序很快被打乱,许多人来向龙王敬酒,成套的祝辞随口就来,甚至当众唱歌跳舞,一多半倒是表演给老汗王看的。 „I do not drink.” Gu Shenwei knows that should say these four characters to whom. “我不喝酒。”顾慎为知道该向谁说这四个字。 Old King Han actually carried liquor bowl sips, „occasionally drank has not related, only then got drunk to realize that the joy of banquet, otherwise, looks calmly one group of men played the drunk, what meaning can have?” 老汗王却端起酒碗抿了一口,“偶尔喝一点没关系,只有喝醉才能体会到酒宴的快乐,否则的话,冷静地看着一群男人耍酒疯,能有什么意思？” Gu Shenwei has drunk the first bowl, henceforth in the bowl has had no free time, a maidservant kneels to sit side him, fills for him wholly absorbed, she is Old King Han so-called „calmness”, in the noise sound of man, is silent likely is a puppet. 顾慎为喝了第一碗,从此碗里就没空过,一名女奴跪坐在他身边,专心致志地替他斟满,她就是老汗王所谓的“冷静者”,在男人的喧嚣声中,沉默得像是木偶。 In the tent all maidservants are this appearance, when was being harassed, reveals to have the smiling face that. 帐篷里所有女奴都是这个样子,只有在受到搔扰时,才露出该有的笑容。 Old King Han said right, the Gu Shenwei quick bleary eyes are fuzzy, in his eyes appears the quite false bold scene suddenly becomes real, taking advantage of the liquor vigor, the aristocrats can break down the stern rank boundary, not only perhaps to flatter Old King Han, is one in satisfied innermost feelings **. 老汗王说得没错,顾慎为很快醉眼模糊,原本在他眼里显得颇为虚假的豪放场景突然变得真实起来,借着酒劲,贵族们可以打破森严的等级界限,或许不只是为了讨好老汗王,更是满足内心中的一种**。 The liquor over three patrol, said that has wielded by the king has fought with the fists four people, one is the Saint says the king, is not serious, is more like cracks a joke, the Saint said that king although reddens all over the face, actually also can only fill more liquor, was smiled naturally by oneself. 酒过三巡,曰逐王已经挥拳打了四个人,其中一个是圣曰王,都不严重,更像是开玩笑,圣曰王虽然满脸通红,却也只能灌下更多的酒,让自己笑得自然一点。 Shangguan Fei was infected, bold one time, stands up rarely unexpectedly, sway goes through the crowd, arrives in front of Dragon King, „I...... Respects Dragon King one cup, one bowl, without you, my anything is not.” 上官飞受到感染,难得地大胆一次,竟然站起身,摇摇晃晃地穿过人群,走到龙王面前,“我……敬龙王一杯,呃,一碗,没有你,我什么都不是。” Gu Shenwei carried the liquor bowl symbol surname to bump, Shangguan Fei did not come to propose a toast to him, just like others, wants taking the opportunity to present in front of Old King Han, but he did not understand the custom, to the Old King Han opens the mouth, „your majesty, Dragon King did not like drinking unexpectedly with great courage directly actually, I was his subordinate, replaced him......” 顾慎为端起酒碗象征姓地碰了一下,上官飞不是来向他敬酒的,跟别人一样,是想借机在老汗王面前亮相,但他不懂规矩,竟然斗胆直接向老汗王开口,“陛下,龙王其实不喜欢喝酒,我是他的部下,代替他……” The words have not said, Old King Han coldly said: „You called me ‚your majesty’, when I was the Central Plains emperor?” 话还没说完,老汗王冷冷地说:“你叫我‘陛下’,当我是中原的皇帝吗？” Shangguan Fei quickly grasped the meaning of something, has become sober half, the bowl in hand fell on the ground, the leg one softly, the person also knelt down. 上官飞一激灵,酒醒了一半,手中的碗掉在地上,腿一软,人也跪下了。 Old King Han laughs, „martial arts is good, starts also ruthlessly, is the courage so how small?” 老汗王哈哈大笑,“武功挺好,下手也狠,怎么胆子这么小？” Shangguan Fei could not open the mouth, Gu Shenwei said: „The Old King Han heavenly prestige is prominent, who can not fear?” 上官飞已经开不了口,顾慎为说:“老汗王天威显赫,谁能不怕？” On the Old King Han face the happy expression does not reduce, as if this coward laughs uproariously his favor compared with tonight's all, „are you Shangguan Fa son?” 老汗王脸上笑意不减,似乎这个胆小鬼比今晚的一切噱头都更得他的欢心,“你是上官伐的儿子？” Shangguan Fei crawls in the place, nods again and again. 上官飞匍匐在地,连连点头。 „How becomes the Dragon King subordinate?” “怎么会成为龙王的部下？” „I and I......” Shangguan Fei casts the vision that rescues to Dragon King. “我、我……”上官飞向龙王投去救助的目光。 „Shangguan Fa does not like this son, wants to remove him taking advantage of my blade.” “上官伐不喜欢这个儿子,想借我的刀除掉他。” „But you gave shelter to him, but also trains the cruel and merciless brave warrior him, interesting, interesting.” Old King Han said continually two, vision actually puts aside from Shangguan Fei, obviously did not think any meaning. “可你收留了他,还把他培养成心狠手辣的勇士,有意思,有意思。”老汗王连说两遍,目光却从上官飞身上移开,显然觉得没什么意思了。 One group of young brave warriors in secret were already observing, under officials' suggestion, knows oneself can carry off the rash disciple who is an eyesore, therefore closes, drags Shangguan Fei, „did this keel over drunk? It is not good, but must drink again......” 一群年轻的勇士早就在暗中观察,在宦官的暗示下,知道自己可以抬走碍眼的莽撞之徒了,于是一拥而上,拖起上官飞,“这就醉倒了？不行,还得再喝……” „Drinking” character is a signal, 78 brave warriors abandon hands and feet weak Shangguan Fei suddenly, pulls out the pocket-sized dagger, plunges near at hand Old King Han, the mouth is shouting: „Dragon King walks quickly!” “喝”字是个讯号,78名勇士突然扔下手脚无力的上官飞,掏出袖珍匕首,扑向近在咫尺的老汗王,嘴里却喊着:“龙王快走！” ( to be continued ) （未完待续）
