I Built a Territory in Ancient Times

Song Lian smiled slightly, "With the prince looking after me, everything is fine."

Tuoba Ren nodded and motioned him to sit down, and his own servant served him tea. Song Lian frowned slightly, this thing has a fishy smell, and he is still not used to drinking it.

Seeing his actions, Tuoba Ren smiled and said to the waiter, "Sir, you are not used to drinking the Su tea from our grasslands. You should go and re-serve the new tea from the south that the king of Khan gave to this king."

The waiter hurriedly went down to put on new tea, and Tuoba Ren jokingly said, "Since Mr. Song has arrived in Suixi, he should try his best to adapt to the way of life in our grasslands. Isn't there a saying in the Central Plains of you that you should follow the customs of the countryside? Mr. Song is like this. Smart, it shouldn't be difficult to do, right?"

Song Lian's face turned pale, her fingers clenched tightly, and she replied, "Yes, I have slowly begun to adapt to it. It's just that the problem of adapting to the environment lies in one's ability to adapt, not whether it is smart or not."

Tuoba Ren smiled slightly, but didn't point it out. Song Lian was a literati from Dayan, and he always took Confucian thought and culture as the benchmark. In their opinion, Dasui is still a foreigner no matter what, a person who drank blood and did not know etiquette.

He took a sip of Su tea and said leisurely, "Although I don't know why you defected to our Dasui Kingdom, this king does not intend to get to the bottom of it. However, after so long, I think Mr. Song has already understood the affairs of our royal court. Quite a lot, but it made the gentleman watch a lot of jokes." Tuoba Ren pointed out.

Song Lian cupped her hands, "Don't dare, Song is desperate in Dayan. Thanks to the prince for taking him in, Lian is very grateful. As long as the prince has any dispatch, Lian will never say anything."

Tuoba Ren waved his hand and sighed: "You have also seen the current situation of this king, but the idlers are a waste. Mr. Song follows this king, but your talents are buried."

Song Lian held up the tea that had just been changed in one hand, and a rich tea fragrance wafted through her nostrils. He took a deep breath, it was indeed a familiar taste in the Central Plains, he took a sip, the look in his eyes dimmed, but in just a moment, he regained his composure.

Song Lian smiled slightly, "My lord can walk and move, why is he a waste of idlers?"

"I can no longer mount a horse to gallop on the battlefield, and I have lost consecutive defeats. This king really has no face to face the people of Suixi." Tuoba Ren was disheartened, even if he had intentions, how could he survive his fate if the sky didn't work out.

Song Lian shook his head, "Your Highness is wrong! People on the grasslands admire heroes, which is understandable, and everyone in the world has a hero complex. But Your Highness really thinks that killing bears and tigers, being able to fight the enemy, and winning battles is what is called a hero? "

Tuoba Ren looked at him with deep eyes, "Isn't it true? This king killed láng at the age of five, hunted bears at the age of eight, and became the number one warrior of the grassland at the age of thirteen. After that, he went on an expedition with his father Khan, and never failed. A lot of hard work. At that time, who dared to compete with the small countries around me? Just mentioning my name, King Hunle, can make the child stop crying. King Hunle is a hero that everyone in Dasui admires."

Song Lian shook her head and smiled without saying a word, and Tuoba Ren said strangely, "Does Mr. Song have any ideas for heroes?"

Song Lian said quietly, "Actually, in Lian's view, what the lord did was nothing more than the bravery of a common man."

Tuoba Ren's face changed, and in a state of excitement, he coughed again and again. After finally stopping the cough, he sneered, "What does Mr. Song mean?"

"If you don't judge a hero based on success or failure, a real hero will not be defeated. But you were defeated by yourself, Wang Ye, so Lian Cai said that Wang Ye is not a real hero."

A look of inquiry appeared on Tuoba Ren's face, and he looked up and down Song Lian, but did not speak.

However, Song Lian continued: "There was a person in the previous dynasty that Lian admired very much, and felt that if there were heroes in this world, he should be one of them. He was born in a poor family, and he was weak since he was a child, with poor feet. But he was inspirational and enterprising. He overcame many difficulties, and later assisted Emperor Taizong of the previous dynasty, unified the world, surrendered to the four barbarians, and became the prime minister under one person and more than ten thousand people."

"He is frail and sickly, but he can use his own wisdom to build a huge empire. He has never killed an enemy with a knife, but the enemy can be afraid of the wind. His legendary life can be said to be built by never giving up. Dare to ask My lord, does such a person dare not to be called a hero?"

Tuoba Ren closed his eyes, he knew the person Song Lian was talking about. He also knew that Song Lian brought it up here because he didn't want him to continue to be depressed.

Seeing the moving expression on Tuoba Ren's face, Song Lian made persistent efforts, "Your Highness, it's not the one who kills the enemy to be the hero. There is a saying in the Central Plains that victory or defeat is common in military affairs. Man is doomed to fail forever."

Tuoba Ren smiled bitterly, "This king understands what Mr. Song means, but, this king is in the game, and there is always a last resort. You have also seen the situation of this king, listen to it, the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing is endless. , It is the king who is entertaining King Liangu. Nowadays, the reputation of Helian and silk is unmatched in the royal court, and even the king has to retreat three times. How can this king and this king contend with him?”

He paused and said sincerely: "Actually, this king invited Mr. Song to come, just to let Mr. Song's talents show off, and to recommend Mr. Song to King Khan. I wonder what Mr. Song thinks?"

Song Lian narrowed her eyes, unsure whether Tuoba Ren's words were sincere or deliberate. What is his purpose in doing this?
