C5 First ally

Without the protection of the soldiers, the He Xi family lost their ability to protect themselves. Therefore, Du Zhaoyang had to recruit enough soldiers for the He Xi family. At the same time, these soldiers can also effectively enhance Du Zhengyuan's right to speak in the flood control of the He Xi family. At the same time, the He Xi family came to the He Shun city. Without a living source, the He Xi family naturally faced the pressure of survival. As the head of the He Xi family, Du Zhengyuan naturally had to busy himself with the He Xi family's survival.

Therefore, on the second day of his stay in He Shun City, Du Xiangyuan went to pay his respects to the City Lord of He Shun City, Deng Yaorong. As the saying goes, the county magistrate might as well be in charge now. If the He Xi family wanted to survive in Peace City, they absolutely couldn't leave Deng YaoRong's support of the He Xi family.

After knowing that Du Xiangyuan had come to pay his respects to him, Deng Yaorong immediately had the soldiers bring Du Zhengyuan in front of him. Deng YaoRong smiled and said, "Who would have thought that your He Xi family's patriarch would actually come to see me, Deng Yaorong, on his own accord. He should have gone to pay a visit to you."

Hearing Deng Yaorong's words, Du Zhengyuan helplessly shook his head and said, "Deng Yaorong, stop teasing our Hexi Family. Our Hexi family has been defeated long ago. "I believe that our He Xi family has become a mouse that has crossed the street. No one would think that you, Lord Deng Yaohong, would be willing to see me, Du Xiangyuan, the head of the He Xi family." In the past, the He Xi family was very powerful in the Great Wei Empire. In the past, the He Xi family was very powerful in the Great Wei Empire.

Therefore, even a City Lord like Deng YaoRong didn't dare to show the slightest bit of disrespect towards Du Xiangyuan. And now, it was just as Du Xiangyuan had said. The He Xi family was involved in the internal strife. The other officials of the Great Wei Empire were worried that they were too close to the He Xi family and were suspected of participating in the rebellion.

"Actually, I also know that your He Xi family is innocent. In fact, when you came to the He Shun city, most people were innocent." Deng YaoRong said lightly. Although he could feel the coldness in Deng Yaorong's tone, the current Du Zheng was someone who had no choice but to lower his head under the roof. Du Zhengyuan smiled and said, "I heard that Lord Deng Yaohong was also wrongly accused, which is why he came to Peace City and is in charge of the city's defenses."

Du Xiangyuan's words seemed to have obviously touched on Deng Yaorong, so after hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Deng Yaorong immediately asked, "Du Zhengyuan, what do you mean by that?" It's just that I've heard about Lord Deng YaoRong in the Wei Royal City of the Great Wei Empire. In the last battle between the Great Wei Empire and the Haskata people, Lord Deng YaoRong led the Great Wei Empire's troops to defeat the Haskata people and made a great military achievement. However, Lord Deng YaoRong had not been able to rescue a high-ranking general of a large family in time to attack the Haskatta people, allowing him to be killed by the Haskatta people. Therefore, when the Emperor of the Great Wei Empire wanted to reward Lord Deng Yaohong, that family had to obstruct him. In the end, not only did Lord Deng Yaohong, who had made a great contribution, not receive a reward, he even became the garrison general of Peace City. " Du Zhengyuan lightly said.

Hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Deng Yaorong didn't say much. He just lightly said, "So what? I received a promotion, I'm still Deng Yaorong. I didn't get a promotion, I'm also Deng Yaorong." "However, Lord Deng Yaohong, have you ever thought about the fact that you would have to stay in the He Shun city with just one word?" Du Zhengyuan said with a smile. You, Du Xiangyuan, you came here today to mock me, Deng Yaorong? " Deng YaoRong said angrily.

"Of course not, Lord Deng Yaohong. Right now, Lord Deng Yaohong and our Hexi Family are both from the same world. How could I laugh at you? I'm just stating the facts. You offended that family, and after that family stopped you from getting promoted, they knew that they had a feud with you, Deng Yaorong. Therefore, they will not let you, Deng Yaorong, rise up again. Even if you, Deng YaoRong, do something for the Great Wei Empire, like before, you will not be able to get a promotion under the obstruction of a big family. "

Du Zhengyuan looked at Deng Yaorong, whose expression changed drastically, and continued, "Lord Deng Yaohong, I believe you have already guessed what I just said." Deng Yaorong coldly snorted and said, "Hmph, so what if we don't get the chance to advance? Du Xiangyuan, do you know that there are one hundred thousand citizens of the Great Wei Empire in Hesun City? "

"My responsibility is to protect Peace City and protect these hundred thousand citizens. Now, I have let it go. Moreover, I, Deng Yaorong, am not a person who loves to fight for power and profit. So what if I can't get promoted?" In fact, when he came before Deng Yaorong, Du Xiangyuan had already investigated his background. Du Xiangyuan knew that what Deng Yaorong said wasn't false. Deng Yaorong was not a person who liked to fight for power and profit. However, everyone had their own desires. Du Zhengyuan knew that even though Deng YaoRong wasn't greedy for power, he was greedy for fame. What Deng YaoRong wished for the most was for him to be able to stay in the history of the Haskatta people's war.

Du Zhengyuan smiled and said, "Lord Deng Yaohong, I know that you are a person with a shallow reputation. As you know, the ancestors of our Hexi Family fought against the Haskata more than once. I once heard my father say that there was a stone tablet on the border between the Great Wei Empire and the Haskatta people. It was made by a craftsman ordered by the late emperor of the Great Wei Empire. The names carved on the stone tablets are also people who have made great contributions against the Haskatars. Lord Deng Yaohong, I have never been to the border before. I wonder if this stone tablet really exists. "

Deng YaoRong nodded and said, "Yes, there is this stone tablet called the Merit Monument." Du Xiangyuan smiled and said, "My father, when he was alive, he loved to tell others that our He Xi family had six ancestors' names engraved on the monument."

"That is the eternal glory of our He Xi family. Honestly speaking, Lord Deng Yaohong, this time, the Emperor of the Great Wei Empire will punish our He Xi family. However, in the edict, it is also stated that six of our He Xi family members will be inscribed on the Merit Monument."

Deng YaoRong was reduced to his current state because of the suppression from the big families in the Great Wei Empire. Therefore, towards the Hexi Family, which was also a big family, Deng YaoRong didn't have a good impression of them. Therefore, Deng Yaorong said lightly, "Patriarch Du Zhengyuan, if you don't have anything else to do today, you should go back first. "The Patrol Officer can't just engrave his name onto the monument." Du Zhengyuan said with a smile.

At this time, before Deng YaoRong could say anything, a General He who was standing beside Du Zhengyuan pulled out his own blade and pointed it at Du Xiangyuan, fiercely saying, "Du Xiangyuan, what is the meaning of this? Ever since you arrived here, you have constantly insulted General Deng Yaorong." If you dare say another word, I'll kill you. "

However, Du Xiangyuan didn't show the slightest fear when facing this General He Shuncheng's saber. Du Zhengyuan sneered and said, "In the army of the Great Wei Empire, there is no one who doesn't want to carve their name on the achievement monument. "But Lord Deng YaoRong, you've already lost your chance to attack the Haskattans. Don't you want to leave your name on the monument?" Hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Deng Yaorong nodded at General He Shuncheng, signaling him to put down his saber.

After General Shun Cheng put his sword back into its scabbard, Deng Yaorong asked curiously, "I naturally want to, Du Xiangyuan, what is your purpose in coming here today. Just say it directly." "Don't get involved with me."

Du Xiangyuan smiled and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then I, Du Zhengyuan, won't beat around the bush. Lord Deng Yaohong, even though our He Xi family has been disgraced and brought to Peace City, our He Xi family has already lost all of our former power and influence. However, a clan would not decline just like that. You should also know that in the Great Wei Empire, in order to protect their power and influence, all the families have married each other. "

"Although we, the He Xi family, have lost our power and influence in the Great Wei Empire, we still have quite a bit of influence among the aristocrats of the Great Wei Empire. Our He Xi family is completely capable of reconciling you, Deng Yaorong, with the family that was your enemy before. This way, there won't be anyone who will obstruct your path to promotion. "

"This way, Lord Deng YaoRong, you can once again ascend the battlefield and kill the Haskattans for the Great Wei Empire. In your lifetime, you will have the chance to leave your name on the monument. "Not only you, Lord Deng Yaohong, but the other generals who followed you will have the opportunity to do so."

Hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Deng Yaorong couldn't help but stand up. Deng Yaorong sighed and said, "Everyone says that you, Du Zhengyuan, are the scapegoat that the He Xi family sent out when they were in trouble. They all thought that you, Du Zhengyuan, had no ability. But today, it seems that you, Du Zhengyuan, are truly not simple. Everyone has underestimated you, Du Zhengyuan. "

"Lord Deng YaoRong, you are right. Although I am the clan leader now, I am a clan leader with no reputation. The power of the He Xi family is controlled by Du Yuan. I'll tell you the truth, the Hexi Family may not be willing to accept the promise that I've just made to you, Deng Yaorong. " Du Zhengyuan lightly said. Hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Deng Yaorong wasn't the slightest bit angry.

"Du Zhengyuan, what do you mean by saying this?" If I am still a clan leader with no real name, then Hexi Clan will not help you, Lord Deng Yaohong, and if I, Du Xiangyuan, become the true clan leader of Hexi Clan, then Hexi Clan will spare no effort to help you. "
