Gao Gong abar bollen: "Aji amra Wanshou-gi-te shobha korechi, samrat amake ebong Yan Shidu-ke Xu-paribarer Xu Ge-lao-ke dekhte pathiyechhen."

Xu Jie-er mukhe ektu kritogghotar bhab phute uthlo.

"Samrat-er doya, puraton das pranam janay."

Bolar por, Xu Jie Gao Gong ebong Yan Shaoting-er dike takalen: "Halil-e amader asustho abostha, rajyer kaj ektu bhenge poreche, antahpurer shom-porer bhratara koshto korche."

Gao Gong haath narlen, kintu drishti pasher Yan Shaoting-er dike gelo.

Agie giye haath jure bollen: "Xu Ge-lao kebol kothay asustho, asole se buro-dhir. Halil-e yuddhastra-bibhager padavir faka niye ei daser matha kharab hoye geche."

Ei kotha shonar por.

Kintu tar mukhe hasi rekhe bollen: "Yan Shidu tarun protibha, samrat boro dayitto diyechhen, keval yuddhastra-bibhager kaj, mone hoy Yan Shidu shigiri shob thik kore nibe."

Yan Shaoting tobuo matha narlen: "Kintu ei das toboyo tarun, Xu Ge-lao-er moto eto bochhor rajdarbare chakri koreni, onno dike Liubu-te eto bochhor thakeni, ekhon yuddhastra-bibhager faka padavir byapari Xu Ge-lao ke-i nishpotti korte hobe."

Kono shobdo chara.
Abar ekta khancha, sidhe Xu Jie-er dike chole gelo.
Se ektu agei Liubu Shongshu-er padavi hariyechhe, ekhon Yan Shaoting jine-jine bolche se Liubu-te eto bochhor thakeni.
Eta asole ghaye lobon dewa.

Eta ki pichone giye samne asha noy?

Yodi na tumi sotti koshto sohyo kore, Yan Maowu-ke Dakhin-purbe byaboshar kor nishpotti korte diyo, ebong tomar Xu-paribarer shorir theke ar ekta boro mangsho kete nao!

Sotti-i.
Aghe shanto thaka Xu Jie-er chokher kachhe ekta alor rekha jhikmik korlo.
Kintu se Gao Gong-er dike takalo.
"Aji Shuqing tomra Wanshou-gi-te shobha korecho, samrat ki puraton daske ghore fire kaj korbar katha bolechen?"
